Chapter 337 The King Patrols the Mountain

Chapter 337 The King Patrols the Mountain

Two people and one monkey walked out of the captain's room.

The space warrior standing guard at the door saluted Fu Qinghai with a clenched fist.

Still the same Space Marine he was when he left.

The perception of time between reincarnators and natives is different. From the perspective of this space warrior:

After the Chapter Master returned, he asked himself to inform the foundry agent Xiao Fei to come over. The technical priest walked into the captain's room. The two discussed it for a day and a night, and then came out. The Chapter Master's pet monkey was also there - that's all.

During this period, Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei went to the Pacific Rim Universe for several months, but the natives of the Warhammer 40K universe could not feel it. Perhaps they could only see a flash of white light, and the two disappeared and reappeared.

The battleship Su Zheng was parked at the airport of the Phaeton Forge World. The two of them took a shuttle to the surface, and then directly transferred to the elevator to go deep underground, arriving at the real core area of ​​the Forge World - the complicated and magnificent underground city.

…

Phaeton Forge World, Underground City.

Xiao Fei took Shi Lan and plunged into the forge.

The Chapter Master also began to patrol his forge world.

Thanks to the fact that the planet Phaeton was discovered by the Mechanicum's exploration fleet very early and has not experienced a long and disorderly free colonization phase, the buildings in the underground city were planned very neatly and orderly from the beginning. It's not like digging aimlessly in all directions.

Luminous fungi exuding faint fluorescence spread along the planned areas of the underground city, and the fungus carpet was paved into green belts and street trees, enriching the city's lighting system. As an emerging forging world, Phaeton is still booming. stage, it did not degenerate into a sweatshop that devoured the lives of workers like those ancient forging worlds.

Along the way, passing through suspended transportation rails and energy pipelines, and passing through scattered three-dimensional buildings, the "source power" formed by all forms of energy, including electrical energy, wind energy, solar energy and chemical energy, is flowing in forges and crucibles.

Fu Qinghai saw many young technical priests, wearing gravity gloves on their hands, skillfully operating various heavy equipment and debugging the production line.

I saw them raising their hands to grab a huge steel beam or a heavy iron box, and then these objects automatically floated into the air wrapped in a blur of blue light, moving with the movement of the technical priest's hands, and reached their destination. Go to the place and then fall gently, the position is not bad at all.

The whole process was so smooth and extremely skillful that the merchants who came to purchase goods were dazzled and stunned, secretly sighing at the magic of Phaeton.

Gravity Gloves, as they are called in the Half-Life universe.

Kinetic energy module, the name of the Dead Space universe.

Gravity sling, the name of Pacific Rim Universe.

In fact, they are all the same thing. To put it bluntly, it is: a science fiction technology that controls "gravity" or "gravity" to assist the user in work or combat.

The specific form of these gravity technology equipment is similar to a kind of "photography from the air", a bit like the Force, but not as flexible and arbitrary as the Force.

Fu Qinghai obtained the gravity glove technology from a transaction at the Jacobstown Tavern, and the kinetic energy module was manufactured by reverse-engineering the equipment on the Ishimura.

In "Pacific Rim 2: Uprising", the strange-looking device on the left hand of the protagonist "Revenge Wanderer" can fire light blue arcs to pull construction debris into balls, and then smash the monster's weapon, which is the "Gravity Sling".

It also used to attack monsters by pulling down high-rise buildings, but the effect was not very significant, and it seriously damaged the city. It just looked cool.

Both the Half-Life universe and the Dead Space universe use this gravity technology as a production tool rather than a weapon, and the Phaeton Forge World is no exception. It is indeed a little awkward to use this technology as a weapon, and the damage is not so direct. , more than cool but not powerful enough.

As for why PPDC put the "gravity sling" on the protagonist, because the mecha hunter is actually not just a combat weapon. When there are no monsters, it will occasionally be used as a rescue force, such as controlling a derailed train. Or lift a collapsed bridge or something.

The mecha hunter "Winter Ajax" is a security and rescue mecha that does not participate in the battle against monsters.

Not only can he control gravity, but he can also control time.

By reverse engineering the stasis module on the Ishimura, the Iron Buddha Chapter is now all equipped with stasis modules and other derivative equipment: stasis grenades and stasis bombs.

The former is used by Apothecaries to lock seriously injured and dying Space Marines in a stasis field to prevent their injuries from worsening. After the battle is over, the wounded can be brought back to the battleship or base for treatment, while the latter is mainly equipped for Joe Star. The veterans of the first company were specially used to capture prisoners.

The use of stasis grenades and stasis bombs to capture prisoners was originally the patent of the Dark Angels Chapter - they wanted to capture the Fallen Angels back to the Stone Fortress for so-called "repentance", and now the Iron Buddha Chapter has similar methods .

Fu Qinghai is not as conceited as the descendants of Lane. If other chapters or other imperial institutions - such as the Inquisition, the Assassin's Court and the Ministry of Justice also want stasis weapons, Fu Qinghai will not mind as long as they can afford the price. Sell ​​them stasis weapons, the more arms deals the better.

Thinking about it all the way.

Fu Qinghai came to Master Quinto's casting temple.

"Little Locke, you are here."

Master Quinto, who received the notice in advance, put down the experiment at hand and came out to greet his student.

Facing his teacher, Fu Qinghai didn't bother to exchange polite greetings. He took out a metal container made of acid-resistant alloy from the white suitcase and said:

"Master, I have obtained the blood of an alien creature, which is of great research value. I also have the synthetic formula. We need to immediately establish a biochemical culture tank and a synthesis production line to produce this alien blood."

Quinto took the container, unscrewed the lid and took a look.

Inside is a pool of blue viscous liquid.

Fu Qinghai then said:

"I plan to use this blood to completely replace promethium. Its calorific value is much higher than that of promethium, and the problems of corrosiveness and toxicity can also be solved. Those vehicles and weapons that originally used promethium as fuel and ammunition will all be replaced in the future. Use this instead."

"Higher calorific value than promethium?"

Master Quinto obviously didn't believe it.

"Higher than the multi-refined holy promethium."

Fu Qinghai said with great certainty.

After all, this is the fuel that drives the monster.

"Okay, let me study it first."

Master Quinto said.

Now comes the biological sage’s favorite part:

Little Locke, the experimental subject and student, has brought back something new and fun to play with from other places.

Quinto's mechanical eyes glowed with a faint green light.

Su Zhenghao's archives.

"Alien Tribunal Encrypted Letters"

Time: 055.M31

License Level: Vermilion

The most respected Lord Judge:

In these disturbing and turbulent times, I hope this letter arrives at a reasonable time.

At your request, we are searching relevant archives for any clues about the anomalous behavior of the Adeptus Astartes. Many of these reports are hidden behind various levels of security and contain extremely sensitive material regarding the Inquisition and its various hated foes.

In the appended file, there is such a report, which compiles information collected from all sides of the empire on the movements and actions of the Iron Buddha Chapter.

I do not deny the strong combat effectiveness of the Iron Buddha Chapter. They are an indispensable and powerful force in the Obscurity Star Region and the mainstay of the Frontier Star Region. They can successfully complete all combat missions, regardless of whether they face chaos or aliens.

However, we noticed some slightly unusual details during the battle, which deserve your attention:

1. The melted weapons of the Iron Buddha Chapter emit blue flames. Normal melta weapons should emit yellow flames. You must be very aware of this common sense. Perhaps this is why their weapons are far more powerful than others?

2. The armored vehicles of the Iron Buddha Chapter move much faster than the same type of vehicles of other Chapters. I knew clearly that this was a descendant of the White Scars, and the pursuit of speed might be engraved in their bones, but the explosive speed still left a very deep impression on me.

3. For a normal volcano cannon, whether mounted on a Titan or a Shadow Sword, the laser color should be red, while for the Iron Buddha Chapter's volcano cannon, the laser color should be green.

While I am convinced of the authenticity of these mission reports and battlefield records, I must admit that I have some doubts. In reviewing these reports, I found a lot of stuff that was too bizarre to really be believed—

Regarding the personal combat prowess of Chapter Leader Qingshan Khan.

He fought against [DATA EXPUNGED] in [DATA EXPUNGED], and single-handedly killed [DATA EXPUNGED], and even severely damaged [DATA EXPUNGED]'s troops.

I trust that these reports will be edifying to you, and that my part in this matter will be remembered in the examination of my position and arrangement in this great institution.

It is an honor to be your loyal servant.

[DATA EXPUNGED]

Note: This letter was intercepted by the Chief Intelligence Officer on 4.356.055.M31 on the 56th, and the relevant personnel have been handed over to the Chief Execution Officer Kalamanda.

After visiting Master Quinto's Forging Temple, Fu Qinghai went to Master Buck's Forging Temple.

Master Buck brings good news:

Jet motorcycles are being mass-produced, and the number of motorcycles produced so far can be deployed in three companies.

Fu Qinghai was very happy.

In the past, the entire Chapter only had one jet motorcycle, the Bullock jet motorcycle given to Fu Qinghai by Jaghatai Khan. It was a special model that could only be equipped by the White Scars' Primarch Guards - Jin Yongxue. .

The manufacturing technology of jet motorcycles has been lost in previous turmoils. In later generations, except for the Dark Angels Chapter, the motorcycles of every Chapter rolled on the ground on two wheels, including the motorcycles of the Chaos Space Marines.

Using technology related to the flying motorcycle from the main Marvel universe, Master Buck successfully restored the Star Warrior's jet motorcycle.

Because the technical principles of the two are basically the same.

But it is still slightly different from the scimitar-type jet motorcycles commonly equipped by Space Marine legions in the past.

Master Buck asked Fu Qinghai to give him a new name.

"Well, let's call it... the Spring Breeze Jet Motorcycle."

Fu Qinghai thought for a while and said.

The first imitation game for poor college students.

"You decide."

Master Buck didn't care.

Fu Qinghai has decided that the company using the White Scar gene seeds will have priority in equipping jet motorcycles.

…………

Finished touring his own forging world.

Qingshan Khan strolled back to the battleship.

As soon as he got off the boarding deck, a pretty woman in robes was already standing outside the shuttle waiting for him.

Fu Qinghai looked at the young woman in front of him: she had long curly platinum hair shawl, pale skin so white that you could see the blue blood vessels, and a white cloth with lace in front of her eyes.

He was stunned for a moment and said:

"Hey, Xia Long, you have grown up."

Director Xingyu showed a speechless expression:

"Khan, you have disappeared for four years."

Although he was blindfolded, Fu Qinghai could still feel the inexplicable resentment in Xialu Flosping's heart.

The little girl who had just graduated from the Psychic Academy was now the Astrologer Director of an Emperor-class battleship.

Also the astrological master of the entire Chapter and its fleet.

Fu Qinghai smiled awkwardly.

The lifespan of space warriors is almost infinite. It is difficult to detect the passage of time on their faces and body functions. In addition, Fu Qinghai is still a reincarnation, which makes it easier to blur the existence of time. Xia Lu did not say it, but he forget.

The three Space Marine reincarnations, Lin Yu, Camille and Tristan, have not yet returned to the Chapter's flagship. They may have been performing missions outside before leaving the Warhammer 40K universe.

Fu Qinghai took the Astropath back to the captain's room, said "Wait for me", then went in and took off his power armor, shrunk to human size, disguised himself and put on the clothes of an ordinary sailor, and used a breathing valve to He covered half of his face, then walked out of the captain's room and said to Xia Lu:

"Come on, come and visit Suzhenghao with me."

I haven’t had a proper visit to my flagship yet.

Especially those areas where mortals gather together.

"Okay, Khan."

The Astropath smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Don't call me Khan, call me Quentin."

Fu Qinghai did not forget to warn him.

"clear."

…

Many people may have no idea what the inside of a warship with tens of thousands of personnel looks like.

For example, many empire warships have their own trading bazaars or even black markets.

There are many people and strong self-sustainability.

Each battleship of the Human Empire is a small society that operates on its own, a self-contained ecosystem.

Along the way, Fu Qinghai followed the Astropath, looking like a follower of Xia Lu Flospin. The crewmen coming and going saluted the distinguished Astropath director, and Xia Lu accepted it calmly. His expression was serious and indifferent, not at all timid in front of Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai found it quite interesting.

Compared with the aloof interstellar warriors, perhaps these unknown mortals who maintain the operation of the warships are the real cornerstone of the naval fleet. Xia Lu led Fu Qinghai through a temporary market built in an open area, surrounded by people who used idle space Crews and sailors who time-traveled gadgets, they shouted loudly and placed in front of them strange objects from other imperial worlds.

Fu Qinghai scanned them one by one.

Very good. There are no addictive drugs such as lajoye, reflective tablets, and necromancy pills. There are just some things like Reca coffee. Space navigation life is depressing. Fu Qinghai is very worried that his crew will take illegal drugs and become... Knead the navy.

It seems that he saw Fu Qinghai's thoughts.

Xia Lu smiled and said:

"What are you worried about, but... Quentin? This market has armed sailors who are responsible for patrolling and inspecting the market. Here, it's right there. It was arranged by Eugene Eleanor."

It is obviously unreasonable to completely prohibit sailors from setting up markets. It is better to clear the market than to block it. As an old naval officer, Eugene is quite comfortable in dealing with these problems.

Fu Qinghai nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them continued walking forward.

Suddenly I saw a familiar figure.

Navigator, Tracey Gray.

The pilot of the Su Zheng.

He was fighting with a strange man whom Fu Qinghai didn't know, with anger and impatience written all over his face.
