Chapter 456: Daily Space Marines and Leman Russ Warthog
Kuitun Death World.
Chapter Fortress Monastery of the Iron Buddha.
Located on the Kuitun-1 satellite.
(PS: By the way, names are mentioned, for example, White Scars: Quanzhou, Dark Angel: The Rock, Space Wolves: The Fang, Raven Guard: Raven Tower...)
The death world of Kuitun has three satellites and three moons. The chapter chose one of the satellites with a thin atmosphere and named it "Kuitun No. 1" as the location of the Iron Buddha Chapter monastery to monitor the entire death world.
The gravitational tidal chaos caused by the three moons is always affecting the natural ecology of Kuitun's surface. The closer it is to the equator, the more obvious it is. The crustal plates here are extremely unstable, colliding and drifting all the time, and volcanic and earthquake disasters occur frequently.
The only stable places are the North and South Poles of the Death World. Although there are no geological disasters here, the climate is extremely cold and only a few human tribes have settled there.
After the Iron Buddha Chapter selected this place as the Chapter's home planet, they established strongholds at the North and South Poles to help local human tribes unify and build basic living facilities, assist them in expanding their population, and teach them language and culture, the use of machinery, and Combat skills... In return, the local human tribe must hand over a group of young boys with the strongest body, the most determined will, and the most superb martial arts skills every year as recruit candidates for the Iron Buddha Warriors.
For local human tribes.
Although the trials and operations would take the lives of countless young boys, it would be a great honor for the entire tribe to be selected.
For Chapter Chaplains.
Although the residents of this death world have high physical fitness, and the harsh and harsh environment has tempered their strong bodies, the population is still too small to support the screening.
Fortunately, there are not many gene seeds in the war group at present.
If the operation fails but the person who received the operation is lucky enough to survive, the war group will generally allow these young people to join the war group and become their servants. Including battleship operation servants (crew), medical servants (nurse), historical servants (historian), cooking servants (chefs), logistics servants (men), etc... Different battle groups have different attitudes towards battle group servants.
The White Scars will call their minions "Zat". The Iron Hands will use Chapter Servants as a source of wetware. The Blood Angels have a special group of servants called "blood slaves" who volunteer themselves as mobile blood packs to replenish blood when the Blood Angels Space Marines are thirsty. The vast majority of Chapters can treat their Chapter Servants equally, and the Salamanders are the best among them, but there are some that are worse, such as the Man-Eating Sharks. For them, the Chapter Servants are just a group of slaves.
At this time, the star's light has not yet illuminated the satellite.
The day of the Iron Buddha Space Marine begins.
4 a.m.: Morning meditation.
The day began with the company chaplain leading the soldiers in meditation and contemplation in the Iron Buddha Lecture Hall. The company's banners and relics will be displayed here, and the warriors will loudly recite their oaths to the Chapter and the Emperor. At this time, the Captain will make a speech or issue an order to all his comrades, usually announcing appropriate rewards and promotions. , and may also issue penalties if necessary.
5 a.m.: Shooting practice.
After the daily morning prayers, the Iron Buddhas conduct their first shooting practice of the day as usual. All individual long-range weapons must be practiced, but the focus is on personal weapons. Rewards and punishments will be awarded according to the shooting results, and shooting practice will be carried out in the weapons depot or the monastery's shooting range.
7 a.m.: Combat training
From the shooting practice just now to hand-to-hand combat training and melee weapon training, the situations encountered in actual combat are accurately simulated, including countless types of lethal or non-lethal environmental conditions, such as polar regions, volcanoes, rift valleys, Swamps, or areas with a mixture of the above characteristics.
12 o'clock noon: Lunch study
Most Chapters of the Astartes will start praying again at this moment, but for the Iron Buddha, now is the time to learn! They can read any information in the chapter's classics and library, including but not limited to books on geography, history, humanities, etc. Qingshan Khan encourages learning and encourages soldiers to learn all knowledge, not just military knowledge. Khan asked him A warrior must be knowledgeable, interrogative, thoughtful, discerning, and diligent in his practice, so that he will not be deceived by some evil gods.
1pm: Lunch
The Iron Buddhas began lunch, which was usually nutritious but tasteless Space Marine food, such as triglyceride gel and amino acid oatmeal, as well as local creatures hunted during the morning's combat training.
1:15 p.m.: Tactical indoctrination
Learn new battle languages, including sign language and slang, study alien and traitor weapons, deployments, and vehicles, review squad and company tactics, and test subjects learned in the morning's combat training.
3pm: Tactical and driving training
The afternoon was mainly about collaborative combat exercises for squads and companies, including but not limited to racing in various Space Marine-specific vehicles. Qingshan Khan encourages innovation, so each company will occasionally try some new tactical exercises.
8pm: Evening study
For most Space Marines, evening prayer is replaced by meditation, review, and reflection. During this period, pharmacists from each company will conduct testing and observation of the gene seeds.
9pm: Dinner
Dinner is a more important meal than lunch. The Chapter's servants will prepare a sumptuous meal, rather than Space Marine-specific food. Qingshan Khan allows soldiers to drink alcohol, but does not allow neurotoxin-based alcohol.
9:30 pm: Night battle training
The world where the Iron Buddha Chapter Fortress Monastery is located has night in the objective sense, so night combat training can be carried out. If the Chapter happens to be on a ship sailing in the void at this time, then the night combat training will be changed to training for underwater combat, through fog, combat in zero gravity, or combat in other special alien environments. Any Space Marine who makes noise or collides with his fellow warriors during night combat training will be punished.
11:15pm: Maintenance Ceremony
Space Marines use this time to maintain and maintain their personal weapons and power armor. The three cavalry companies maintain their jet motorcycles; the First Ascension Brigade maintains various types of armored vehicles; the Trap Brigade maintains assault terminators; and the Xiaolong Brigade regularly inspects the sword-tail interceptors to ensure they are ready for battle at any time. The company technical sergeant will supervise and review this.
11:45pm: Free time
Even though they only have fifteen minutes of free time, most Chapter Masters consider it a waste of time and an extremely dangerous distraction. Qingshan Khan allows Space Marines to have and control their personal time, and encourages them to develop some personal hobbies, such as poetry, painting, music, and board games, but gambling is not allowed.
00:00: Rest time
Start sleeping for four hours.
Generally speaking, compared to other battle groups, the Iron Buddha Chapter's daily routine is quite satisfactory. It is not particularly strict. For example, the Black Templar requires enough time to pray three times a day, but it is not too laissez-faire. In the Warhammer 40K universe, if you are too obsessed with art, you will be seduced by Slaanesh; if you are too obsessed with knowledge, you will be seduced by Slaanesh. You will be seduced by Tzeentch; if you are too obsessed with killing, you will be seduced by Khorne... Meditating and reflecting three times a day is similar to most chapters praying piously three times a day.
Practice the golden mean and refuse to go to extremes.
It is the Iron Buddha Chapter's way of countering the evil in the subspace.
…………
The days passed.
The Chapter Master is very busy during this time.
He has to arrange two tanks, an airborne pod and an intelligently controlled mecha STC to exorcise demons and then enter the industrial system of the Phaeton Forge World. He also has to assist Master Quinto in conducting serum experiments, so he has no time to take into account major events in the plot line. , and there was no time to take care of the seven-member team of the Zero Realm Guild.
But this group of people can't hide in the cabin all the time. It's always inconvenient to have too many people on a battleship, so Lin Yu was sent to take them around in the Marquez King District in disguise, and take a look at the Forge World, the Nest, and The different styles of the urban world, agricultural world and death world.
Lin Yu took seven people from the Zero World Guild on a low-altitude airship and followed the main road of Phaeton Foundry City to the outskirts. This is a planting area for luminous fungi, brain fungi and other fungi from the radiation universe. In addition to Artificial lighting facilities on both sides of the road, large areas of fungi emit a glistening green light, rolling along the ridges and hills, as if you are in an endless fluorescent ocean.
"Wow, it's really beautiful."
Olivia sighed.
There are also some two-headed cows (Brahmins) wandering in the sea of fungi. If these radiation cosmic creatures hadn't looked so scary and strange, the scene on the outskirts of the forging city would even have a pastoral feel.
"I read in the information that the forge world of Warhammer 40K is a rusty wasteland without any vegetation. Why can the Phaeton Forge World have so many animals and plants?"
Olivia asked Lin Yu a question.
"Because these animals and plants all come from the radiation universe, they have been highly adapted to the radiation environment. On the contrary, if the radiation dose in the environment is not enough, the yield may be reduced. This is the unique natural landscape of Phaeton."
Lin Yu explained.
There was another reason he didn't say.
Godzilla just entered the underground maze and began to fall into a deep sleep not long ago. Since he fell into hibernation, the radiation dose in the environment of Phaeton Forge World has been getting lower and lower day by day. The current problem is that if Phaeton Forge World cannot continue to expand its production capacity, the radiation pollution caused by Not even enough for Brother Zong to absorb.
They are also underground mazes.
Mars has a Void Dragon.
Phaeton has Godzilla.
"what is that?"
At this time, a human soldier pointed at a four-wheeled off-road vehicle speeding by below and asked.
"That seems to be... a Warthog troop carrier?"
Augustus frowned and said.
The tone was a little uncertain.
A symbolic vehicle from the Halo universe suddenly appeared in the Warhammer 40K universe, which made him a little unsure.
"Yes, it's a warthog."
Lin Yu replied in the affirmative.
…………
"Warthogs are as much a part of the UNSC as boots, guns, and tasteless coffee."
——"Halo Encyclopedia"
…
At this time, the center of the city was cast.
Master Buck's Industrial Forge Temple.
A huge palace-like room.
"Phaeton Power Propulsion Center" is listed above.
Science fiction is complicated.
In fact, it is nothing more than a matter of power and propulsion.
In terms of power, the highest level technology Fu Qinghai has mastered is nuclear power. Including the power packs of the Space Marines, the battleship engines of the Chapter fleet, the energy core of the Four-Armed Titan, the core engine of the Thunderhawk gunship... they are all the Nydra Zaza Reactor, also known as the Star God Burner Reactor. In essence, it is still cold nuclear fusion, but it is a very efficient cold nuclear fusion reaction. In Warhammer 40K, they are usually called plasma reactors, but they are actually nuclear power reactors.
Controllable cold fusion technology is not easy at all, and it has even reached the ceiling of most science fiction universes. Going up to the nuclear power reactor, there are the super-matter reactors of Star Wars, the anti-matter reactors of Star Trek, the dark matter reactors of Transformers... Fu Qinghai has not yet been exposed to these science fiction technologies, so he can only look forward to them.
No matter which science fiction universe, the cost of nuclear power reactors is very high, and they cannot be used in all aspects (except for the radiation universe, radiation is really a bit weird).
Therefore, many science fiction universes, including Warhammer 40K, still have room for traditional gas turbine engines (aerospace engines) and piston internal combustion engines (vehicle engines). Including various fighter planes, jet motorcycles and armored vehicles... they still use fuel engines. It just changes from the traditional fossil fuel gasoline, diesel, kerosene, to the science fiction fossil fuel promethium. Phaeton Forge World uses artificial monster blood.
It is not that using a nuclear power reactor is better than using a piston internal combustion engine. For example, among the super-heavy tanks of the same level in the Imperial Armor series, the Shadow Sword uses a nuclear power reactor, and the Poison Blade uses a piston internal combustion engine. This is a matter of choice based on cost and maintenance. No one is the best. The Thunderhawk gunship uses a nuclear power reactor, and the Swordtail-class interceptor uses a gas turbine engine. However, the Swordtail-class interceptor flies faster than the Thunderhawk gunship, and the speed difference in the atmosphere is even more obvious.
But even a piston internal combustion engine.
Warhammer 40K also has black technology.
The Imperial Guard's Emperor's Baneblade tanks and Leman Russ tanks, as well as the Space Marines' Rhino troop carriers and Predator tanks, all use an engine called a "multi-fuel adaptive thermal combustion reactor", also It is commonly known as "can burn anything", alcohol, fat, gas... This kind of universal adaptability is itself a very outrageous black technology.
And now there happens to be an opportunity.
Fu Qinghai can make it even more outrageous.
"The Warthog Armed Application Vehicle, or 'Warthog' for short, is the collective name for a series of junior joint light tactical ground vehicles serving the United Nations Space Command's armed forces. Its various variants are capable of serving as equipment transport, utility, Command and control, ambulance reconnaissance and various other tactical and logistical support roles. It is a highly maneuverable, four-wheel drive and all-wheel steering vehicle powered by a liquid-cooled, hydrogen-injected ICE engine and equipped with a manual transmission .”
Kirshvitto said with pride.
At this time, in the Phaeton Power Propulsion Center, Master Buck, Fu Qinghai, Shi Lan, and Koshvito all gathered in a circle to carefully observe the device in front of them. The first three were the master of the forge, the master of forging, and the space ape. Kirshvitto, a Spartan warrior, seemed a little out of place among them, but his tone was still full of pride.
Because the Warthog is as iconic an element of the Halo universe as the Spartan.
"What is a liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE engine?"
Master Buck asked.
"Hydrogen fuel is burned inside the engine at very high temperatures with a synthetic carbon-silicon catalyst to allow for higher utilization. This hydrogen engine is the standard engine for all UNSC ground and the vast majority of air vehicles, approximately four hundred years ago to replace conventional engines based on fossil fuels."
Kirshvitto immediately introduced it.
"Hey, to put it bluntly, it's just an internal combustion engine that burns hydrogen. There's nothing special about it."
Fu Qinghai said at this time:
"That's what I want you to focus on."
Fu Qinghai pointed to an accessory device next to him:
"Graf Hautmann Solar Brine Converter."
"What is this?"
Master Buck continued to ask.
"Just add 12 liters of fresh water or seawater, and the device can convert it into hydrogen gas. Then with the help of this hydrogen, the Warthog can travel up to 800 kilometers."
Fu Qinghai explained.
"Twelve liters of water, eight hundred kilometers."
He emphasized again.
"Well……"
Master Buck and Slann frowned together.
"Just asking if you are awesome?"
Koshvito asked with a smile.
"The premise is that there is sunlight in the environment."
Fu Qinghai added, and then said:
"The Warthog series vehicles themselves have nothing outstanding. They are very fast but have very thin armor. They are nothing more than a halo version of a machine gun pickup truck. The liquid-cooled hydrogen-injection engine actually has no outstanding features. The Leman Rusttank The multi-fuel adaptive reactor is a hundred times more powerful. But this Graf Hautmann solar brine converter is truly amazing.”
"Koshvito has acquired the relevant technology. If we can copy this device and improve it using Imperial's existing material science technology...a multi-fuel adaptive thermal combustion reactor coupled with a Graf Hautermann solar brine reformer, The endurance of the vehicle will be horrific."
Fu Qinghai said seriously.
"There's definitely potential."
Master Buck commented.
The calorific value of hydrogen is not as high as that of promethium, but seawater is much cheaper than promethium.
Hydrogen can be produced as long as there is sunlight and sea water, and the pressure on logistical supply will be greatly reduced.
"This will be our unique technology."
Fu Qinghai affirmed.
"Leman Rustank is going to get a complete makeover."
Master Buck sighed and said:
"I don't know if those Martian guys will accept it."
