Chapter 274 Death Guard Fu Qinghai
The fleet once again broke away from the subspace.
After successfully arriving in the Marquez King region and Mandeville Point outside the Schwerin galaxy, the entire fleet sailed into the galaxy at sub-light speed and finally parked at the circular airport in the orbit of the Schwerin Hive World.
As soon as the hatch connecting the passage opened, Fu Qinghai, wearing armor, led a group of space warriors and strode out. The troops were neatly dressed, their armors were clanging, and a solemn and oppressive aura rushed towards them.
Planetary Governor Gladys and Commander-in-Chief of the Planetary Defense Forces and Commander of the Schwerin Corps, Koshvito, were already waiting at the airport, with a dark crowd of servants and soldiers behind them.
"Where is person No. 56? How is the situation at the 'admonishment meeting'?"
Fu Qinghai asked as he walked.
"I can't explain it clearly in the star language communication. Come to my mansion and explain it in detail."
Gladys came up to Fu Qinghai and whispered.
"okay."
…
The sky is blue and white clouds are billowing.
Gladys's governor's mansion has clear windows, overlooking the sea of clouds, and is decorated in a simple yet luxurious manner.
The table was set with porcelain from Wasanid, the glasses were filled with Catalin white wine from Quatis, and the floor was covered with Tegus hides from Felicis.
"The matter of the admonishment meeting is a bit tricky. Qingshan, No. 56 has left the Schwerin Hive World and gone to the Calixis sector. He left behind this servo skull, which records his solution to the cult problem. and train of thought, and explained the reasons for his departure.”
Gladys pushed a half-metal, half-bone servo skull in front of Fu Qinghai.
She did not call Fu Qinghai "Khan" or "Sir" because Gladys believed that her relationship with Fu Qinghai was different. The two adventured together in the bottom nest and experienced the political turmoil and bloody struggle at the top of the tower. .
The young female planetary governor's smooth rise to the position was inseparable from the silent support of the Space Marine Captain, so Gladys didn't want to call him "Khan" or "Sir", so she wanted to call him "Qingshan".
It seemed like he didn't really care.
Fu Qinghai took the servo skull and activated it in front of everyone present. The servo skull slowly floated into the air, and blue light bloomed from the eye sockets, forming a holographic projection in the air. Its image was none other than Sea Serpent Warrior No. 56.
No. 56:
"Qingshan, if you see this holographic projection, it means that I have set off for the Calixis sector, and you have also returned to the Schwerin nest. I have to explain to you in detail the issue of the Undernest cult. s solution."
"After my various investigations and research, I found that the so-called 'warning meeting' was caused by the residents of the Bottom Nest accidentally releasing some kind of dormant ancient Nurgle virus when they were mining garbage in the ancient ruins. The Nurgle virus infected the residents of the Bottom Nest. But not to death, but to cause them to believe in Nurgle.”
"The group of scavengers who were initially infected by the virus established a warning committee. They took advantage of the hatred of the residents of the lower nest towards the nobles of the upper nest and carried out a series of infiltration activities. They gradually moved to the lower nest and the upper nest to develop their own followers. "
Fu Qinghai nodded slightly.
If the concept of "eliminate the nobility and make everyone equal" is closest to the teachings of the four gods of chaos, it can only be the all-tolerant loving father Nurgle.
"After understanding the cause of all this, Gladys and Koshvito cooperated with me and followed the clues along the way, killing all the believers who were lurking in the tower, the upper lair and the lower lair. However, just as we gathered our troops to plan When it came time to attack and clear out the bottom nest, we were in trouble."
No. 56 in the holographic projection looked solemn:
"The senior leaders of the Admonition seem to have used the souls of a large number of believers to complete some kind of sacrificial ritual. The power of the virus has been enhanced, or mutated, and turned into a new type of virus with memetic properties. Kirshvitto's men Even if the Imperial Guards are wearing fully enclosed carapace, gas masks and breathing valves, they will still be infected by the mutated virus."
Qiao Shida and Camille, who were sitting on the left and right of Fu Qinghai, as well as Lin Yu who was standing behind him, were all listening to No. 56's story attentively. They wanted to know how he solved the Nurgle virus, but they heard him say:
"Then, after the major events of the plot line ended, I descended into the J.K. Rowling universe."
J.K. Rowling universe? What's the meaning?
Qiao Shida looked puzzled.
Looking around, I found that except for Gladys, no one around showed a surprised expression, as if it was commonplace.
"I am trying to find a way to fight the Nurgle virus in the Harry Potter universe. Thanks to the spiritual awakening brought by the Brain of M.O.D.O.K., my magical talent is pretty good, comparable to a pure-blood wizard. I am in J.K. Rowling Lin's universe learned 'Legilimency' and its counter-spell - 'Occlumency'."
Legilimency and Occlumency, even in the reincarnation world where magic is prevalent in J.K. Rowling's universe, are very complex, difficult and unpopular spells. There are not many wizards who are proficient in this. The famous ones are Voldemort and Snape. Along with Dumbledore, the fact that No. 56 was able to learn it probably had something to do with Alpha's gene seed.
No. 56 continued:
"But I discovered that Occlumency can resist mental pollution, but it cannot resist the infection of the body by the Nurgle virus. If we insist on attacking the bottom nest, my mind will still be clear, but my body will collapse."
No. 56 came to a conclusion: Occlumency only seals the brain, but the memetic virus infection of the body cannot be eliminated.
"I was infected with the Nurgle virus. I didn't want to become a walking zombie, and I didn't want to implicate others. In the end, I had no choice but to leave the Schwerin Hive and go to the Calixis sector to find a solution. My mortal agents heard some rumors. "
"With the help of the mutant girl you know, we found and sealed all the exits from the bottom nest to the lower nest and the suburbs - blocking the Nurgle zombies in the bottom nest, abandoning the bottom nest area, and letting them To fend for ourselves inside is the only way we can think of at the moment."
"As for me..." No. 56 smiled bitterly:
"Remember to add a friend, Qingshan, my reincarnation number is xxx... If that rumor is false, I'm afraid I can only use switching reincarnation worlds to get rid of the virus infection."
Fu Qinghai nodded slightly.
Number 56's idea is right.
If you want to bring the Nurgle virus to other reincarnation worlds, you need to pay assimilation points. There is a precedent of divine seal. He first needs to keep himself conscious. When switching reincarnation worlds, he will get a free "purification". The prerequisite It's this time that he doesn't want to infect others around him.
In order to fight against a hive cult, the intelligence officer of the Brotherhood made a big sacrifice this time.
The holographic projection goes out.
Fu Qinghai looked at the others present and asked:
"So the entire bottom nest area is closed now?"
"Yes, all the virus-infected believers of the Admonition Association have gathered in the bottom nest, planning to fight us. After the beheading operation on No. 56 failed, we can only choose to close all passages and exits."
Kirshvitto said.
"Um……"
Fu Qinghai lowered his head and thought.
As a spiritual virus with some physical attributes, Nurgle virus has a very metaphysical way of infection. Strong ones can be transmitted across time, space and spirit, just like Sadako, while weak ones can also be infected by traditional epidemic prevention methods-disinfection and sterilization. of elimination.
For example, there was once a short story from an original novel: the Chaplain of the Space Marines discovered that the entire company was already in a space station contaminated by the Nurgle virus, and directly ordered the warships outside to fire on themselves to prevent the virus from continuing to spread.
Powered armor is fully enclosed + internal circulation + breathing valve, but it can still be infected by the Nurgle virus.
However, during the Plague War, the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar adopted traditional medical methods such as isolation, disinfecting, and treatment, which could also prevent the spread of the Nurgle virus to a certain extent.
Fu Qinghai speculated that the difference between the strength of the infection and the strength of the infection depends on the spiritual strength of the virus.
Fu Qinghai silently thought about the solution.
Everyone waited quietly for his order.
Are you going to use that thing so soon?
It’s time to give it a try.
After thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind. Fu Qinghai took out a test tube from his waist, handed it to Lin Yu behind him, and ordered:
"Take it to the Goliath-class factory ship and give it to the technical priests. Let them copy the virus in large quantities and make the virus solution into a large spray device and give it to us."
Lin Yu didn't ask any more questions and took the order and left.
Many of the technical priests on the Goliath-class factory ships are former disciples of Master Quinto and are geneticists. It should not be difficult for them to replicate a virus.
"What are you going to do, Khan?"
Qiao Shida turned around and asked.
“Fight fire with fire.”
Fu Qinghai said lightly.
…
During the following period, Fu Qinghai patiently waited for the production of the virus solution, while communicating with Kirshvitto and Gladys about the future plans of the hive world.
"Kosh, you have to know my good intentions in seeking the position of commander of the Schwerin Corps for you."
Fu Qinghai said earnestly.
Koshvito nodded:
"I know, Qingshan."
"The Schwerin Corps has a completely new look after my reforms. I broke up all the four regiments under the Corps and reintegrated them together. Soldiers with too strong aristocratic backgrounds have been removed from the army, and junior non-commissioned officers have also been removed from the army. All replaced by my people.”
The main difference between the Planetary Defense Force (PDF) and the Imperial Guard (IG) is that generally speaking, soldiers must first serve in the former and be selected among the former, with a ratio of about ten to one, before they can enter the latter. .
The Planetary Defense Force does not assume the responsibility of external combat and only stays on the surface and orbit to protect homeland security, while the Imperial Guard has to accept dispatches from nearby war zones to fight outside. The latter is of course more elite than the former, but the difference is not much.
Yes, in Fu Qinghai's view, both are human soldiers. No matter how great the difference between humans is, there is no greater difference between humans and space warriors.
The reason why the Imperial Guard is stronger than the Planetary Defense Force is mainly because the Imperial Guard has armored vehicles such as aircraft, cannons and tanks, while the Planetary Defense Force often deals with it with just a few automatic guns and relies more on fixed fortifications.
In modern warfare, the gap in weapons and equipment is always greater than the gap in personnel quality.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some planetary governors in war-prone areas are more generous and use their own money to subsidize the military expenses of the Planetary Defense Force to purchase weapons, but in the end, it is more and better without the direct support of the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs.
There is a widely circulated rumor in Warhammer 40K: The number of Rambos per capita in the Imperial Guard is pure nonsense. The original novel describes the relevant plot: many people can no longer survive in the hive. Whether they don’t repay their debts or are pursued by their enemies, just go ahead and kill them. Signed up to join the army, and then somehow got into the Imperial Guard.
With this kind of quality of soldiers, how can it be possible to achieve "Rambo per capita"? Among the Imperial Guards, only the Catachan Jungle Regiment can be called "Rambo per capita", because they directly copied the movie "First Blood", can they not be "Rambo per capita"?
If Koshvito wants to be the commander-in-chief of the Planetary Defense Force, he doesn’t need Fu Qinghai to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs to run anything. Gladys can directly appoint him. But if he wants to be the commander of the Imperial Guard, he needs some operations and applications. .
As Koshvito said, he integrated all armored vehicles, including the Sentinel mecha, into an "armored regiment" and no longer divided them as originally - the original division was to take care of the respective needs of the four major families at the top of the tower. In the power structure, now that the four major families are gone, it is natural to concentrate the few armored vehicles for use.
The remaining infantry is divided into two regiments, one regiment is equipped with laser guns, and the other is equipped with feather guns. Both weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages. If all members are equipped with laser guns, it will be very difficult to face certain enemies that can resist laser weapons. passive.
Yes, Phaeton Forge World has begun mass production of metal spike blasters and giant mining excavators, and as Phaeton's two major products, Schwerin Hive World is on a first-come-first-served basis and has begun large-scale installation.
In the Halo universe, Koshvito once served as an instructor for Hell's Paratroopers and Spartan III. He was very good at training soldiers. Fu Qinghai even called him "Instructor Kosh".
When he trained the Imperial Guard according to the standards of the Hell Paratroopers, the quality of the Schwerin Corps' soldiers no longer needed to be considered - they must be very strong, even far beyond other ordinary Imperial Guard regiments.
The Imperial Guard led by Kirshvitto is an important part of the military strength of the future sector created by Fu Qinghai. It is not as important as the battle group, but it is still important.
At least have one more hand to ask the Ministry of Military Affairs for money.
On the surface, Qingshan Khan is just an ordinary Astartes Captain, and the Divine Machine Brotherhood is just a White Scar company responsible for escorting the Mechanicum fleet to the Phaeton Forge World, and is responsible for garrisoning here.
But secretly, the entire Marx King Sector, the planetary governors and guard commanders of the hive worlds are his subordinates, the foundry director of the forge world is his teacher, and even the administrator of the agricultural world, Calvin, is also his acquaintance.
In this remote border area, Fu Qinghai has actually achieved "covering the sky with one hand" and can completely replicate the career of the black-hearted king Huron in the Badab sector - becoming the so-called "tyrant of the XX sector".
But there is no need to be so high-profile.
It would be great to be an "underground emperor".
Theoretically, Space Marines only have political power over their home worlds and recruiting worlds. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the most basic respect for Holy Terra and maintain the superficial political structure of the sector. The empire is originally very feudal, and it is best for everyone to live in peace. It would not be fun to launch a massive rebellion, withhold taxes, and provoke investigations by the Inquisition and the Assassin's Court.
Fu Qinghai patted Koshvito on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, Kosh, just concentrate on training the Imperial Guard and leave the weapons and equipment to me. Feather guns are not the end. In the future, there will be more firearms, vehicles, and even individual armors for your troops. Pretending.”
Kirschvitto nodded.
"By the way, why don't you join my reincarnation club? We will take care of each other in the reincarnation world in the future. How about that?"
Fu Qinghai suggested.
Koshvito also had this intention:
"Okay, Qingshan."
As the cooperation between the two deepens, joining the Samsara Club is a logical move.
Apart from his status as an instructor, Koshvito also has strong personal combat capabilities. The Spartan warriors are approximately equal to mini space warriors. The Spartan II phase is the strongest phase. The Spartan phase I is experimental in nature. In the end, there are only a few severely disabled people left. The Spartan phase III and IV are based on cost reduction. The compromise is either to use cheaper power armor or to use strengthening agents instead of biochemical modifications. In short, they are not as strong as the second phase.
In the vast world of reincarnation, there is of course more than just Kirshvitto as a Spartan. Fu Qinghai and Chen Xinlu met another one in the Resident Evil movie universe. That reincarnator was obviously not as strong as Kirshvitto.
So Kirshvitto can proudly call himself "Koshvito-151", because he is the only reincarnation in the normal timeline of the Halo universe that has participated in the Spartan II program and survived. Others can only pass through a copy. The world travels to the past, otherwise there will be no chance to participate in the second phase of the plan.
Kirshvitto said:
"No. 56 learned two tricks of magic, and my last reincarnation in the world was not fruitless. I returned to the Halo universe and obtained the engine technology of the Warthog troop carrier."
Fu Qinghai's eyes lit up:
"Graf/Hauptmann solar/salt water engine?"
Koshvito smiled and nodded:
"Haha, I guess you will like this! The transformation surgery of Spartan warriors and the manufacturing technology of Mjolnir power armor are both too secret. I can still get the technology of a dual-purpose engine for both military and civilian use. Although I can’t quite understand it, I believe you can understand it.”
Fu Qinghai was very happy, laughed and said:
"It won't be long before all the forge worlds will discover that the engine myth of the Leman Russ tank will be shattered, and a new type of fast infantry fighting vehicle is about to appear."
…
Finally, three weeks later.
The non-stop shuttle transports huge storage tanks from the Goliath-class factory ship to the main city of the hive city.
Accompanied by Gladys, Fu Qinghai met with representatives of several large trade unions in Chaodu, especially the Water Trade Union and the Gas Trade Union. The Marine Trade Union and the Climate Trade Union stood respectfully in front of him, listening to Fu Qinghai's instructions:
"Put these storage tanks containing viruses into ventilation shafts and exhaust valves, and spread them toward the bottom nest area. Note that this is a highly contagious virus. You must control the direction of the airflow and never spread upwards. "
"Okay, my lord."
The climate manager agreed.
"The sewage treatment pipelines in various factory areas and living areas, as long as they lead to the bottom nest area, must also be filled with virus solution. Just like the requirements of the gas union, they must not pollute other water sources and pipes in the nest city."
"Understood, my lord."
Haiyang Zuishang agreed.
Qiao Shida stood behind him and watched Fu Qinghai continue to issue orders, explaining the specific requirements and precautions for infections and epidemics in a clear and logical manner...
Why does he know so much?
Is Khan really a white scar?
He couldn't be a Death Guard impersonating the White Scars, could he?
