Chapter 701 Brain Explosion Experiment
Battle Moon, grid area 07-46.
Just like before, the staff of the Rectification divided the Battle Moon into a curved grid, and each regiment assigned targets and communicated location information according to the grid markings.
Just like before, the surface weapon array on this side of the Battle Moon has been basically paralyzed and shut down, but the underground battle is still going on. Orcs are pouring out from all directions, and the number seems endless, competing with the Space Marines for the ownership of every cave and every passage.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom-bang!"
Kurland put on a set of ancient tactical dreadnought armor given to him by Bosimonde, and was fighting hard with the orcs in the passage. The heavy explosive bomb under the power glove rotated the cross muzzle flame, smashing all the green-skinned boys in front of him, and then swung the giant glove and knocked down an orc warrior fiercely.
"Has anyone counted how many greenskins we killed?"
Kurland asked, panting and looking around. After that, he swung his fist and smashed the head of the orc warrior lying on the ground. Blood and brains splattered at his feet.
"Maybe no one has counted. What do you want to say?"
Isaga asked in the interval between changing magazines.
"There are too many of them! Even if this battle moon is completely hollow, it is impossible to fit so many orcs. Qingshan is right. There is a subspace portal inside the battle moon. Support will never stop."
Kurland gritted his teeth and strode forward.
"But this is not the most difficult problem."
Isaga drew out the power sword and walked forward:
"The portal can be destroyed. Qingshan and his men have already destroyed one... But the beast, the legendary beast, how to deal with that monster? Have you thought about this problem?"
Kurland walked forward in silence.
Finally, the Space Marines of the high wall followed closely.
"I have seen many bragging warriors, but Qingshan is an honest man. He said that there was a lot of chance in his ability to kill the beast. I also read their analysis. Qingshan believes that there is more than one beast. I agree with this, because if there is only one beast, the orcs would have collapsed by now."
Kurland said in a deep voice as he walked forward.
"Yes, the greenskins did not lose their command center and fall into chaos, proving that there is indeed more than one beast."
Isaga nodded in agreement.
"You asked me how to deal with the beast. I can only tell you that anger and hatred are our only weapons. We will kill that orc, no matter what the price."
Kurland stopped and turned to face Isaga.
"Okay, brother, I understand."
Isaga looked at Kurland with the same seriousness.
...
At the same time.
Battle Moon, grid area 13-75.
In front of the simple fortifications built by the Space Marines using abandoned vehicles, metal debris and green-skinned corpses, the several waves of counterattacks organized by the orcs were like waves hitting reefs, and in the fierce crossfire, they were shattered and splashed with broken limbs and blood all over the walls, the ground and the ceiling. These counterattacks not only failed to recapture any inch of land in this area, but also caused themselves to become part of the opponent's bunker.
Other Space Marine regiments were desperately advancing towards the core of the battle moon, but only the Iron Pagoda regiment chose to stay in place after occupying an area on the moon.
However, this kind of defense did not last too long. Soon, a dense projectile filled with intense ionizing radiation was fired with a strange whistling sound, piercing the orcs one by one, leaving only burnt black wrinkled holes on the rough green skin. Then a group of strange soldiers wearing red robes and hoods, with metallic limbs, jumped out of the bunker, holding long-pole rifles and aiming and shooting while moving forward steadily.
It's the Skitarii, the Skitarii have landed!
Densely packed rust-red robes surged in the passage, they rushed out of the temporary fortifications built by the Space Marines, and continued to advance into the depths of the battle moon on behalf of the Space Marines.
Although Fu Qinghai had always been complaining about the selfishness of the forge commander Kubik, he only sent ten regiments of the basic infantry of the Skitarii, and did not send advanced troops such as dragon wing soldiers, sword infiltrators, Hades raiders, etc., nor did he match any armored vehicles. But one fact that cannot be ignored is:
Even the most ordinary hunters or vanguards in the Skitarii can match or even occasionally surpass the most elite Cadian or Krieg in the Imperial Guard.
The Skitarii seem to have slightly slender limbs, but in fact, because their bodies have been replaced with a large number of mechanical prostheses, their muscles and bones have been replaced with lighter and stronger steel, and their heads are also filled with various implants that enhance battlefield perception, all of which are high costs. In addition, the galvanic weapons and laser weapons used by the Skitarii are far more expensive and powerful than the laser guns commonly equipped by the Guards.
Although they are all positioned as light infantry.
But they are not the same cost type of soldiers.
Therefore, despite the lack of any support and assistance from the armored vehicles from Mars, the red robe soldiers are still advancing at a fast speed. When the huge knight mechas were still being transported from the mechanical ark to the surface of the battle moon in batches, the vanguards and hunters once quickly advanced to the depths of the battle moon along various channels, and then they were stalemate under the suppression of the orc armored forces, and then they were counterattacked and pushed back.
"The Skitarii suffered heavy casualties in the front."
Lin Yu quickly followed Fu Qinghai:
"The Sage of Domination asked when we will attack?
"After I finish this experiment."
Fu Qinghai said as he walked, followed by a large group of Silent Sisters. The clash of armors echoed in the passage. This group of fierce women with half-covered faces moved forward silently without saying a word.
"The Intelligent Control Legion and the Knight Family have already landed. Let the Skitarii attack them again. If we really can't defeat them, we'll give up. We'll blow up the branch passages and shrink our troops appropriately."
Fu Qinghai turned his head and ordered.
Lin Yu nodded and said:
"These Martian soldiers are very accurate with their marksmanship and have strong firepower, but I found that they are not very good at close combat. They perform well in open terrain. Once they enter a complex and narrow winding passage, it is easy for the orcs to use the terrain to rush into close combat and engage in hand-to-hand combat." .The vast majority of casualties are caused by this.”
"Not only that, they didn't carry the right weapons."
Fu Qinghai shook his head and commented:
"Electrical weapons are a bit wasteful to deal with orcs. The radiation pollution of laser weapons is too serious. They should switch to arc weapons or continuous plasma weapons, which will have an advantage."
Galvanic weapons have accurate ballistic trajectories and good armor-piercing capabilities. Combined with the stable hands of Skitarii Rangers that have been replaced by enhanced eye modification implants and mechanical prosthetics, it can be said that they can pierce through enemies with a hundred steps and kill a Green with one shot. Skin boy.
But galvanic weapons have another characteristic: after the projectile hits the target, it will produce a small electromagnetic pulse explosion. This is obviously a weapon developed for Mechanicus personnel who have a large number of sophisticated prosthetic modifications in their bodies. It is a typical civil war weapon of the Mechanicus. It is very effective when used against black machine greasers or academic heretics. It can make a technical priest Instantly paralyzed, it is not suitable for dealing with orcs.
Laser weapons are similar to miniature nuclear bombs. They are powerful but highly polluted. When every Skitarii vanguard soldier takes off his helmet, he will see a face with all his teeth missing and skin ulcerated. The Battle Moon can be regarded as Orc territory, and there is no need to consider the issue of radiation contamination. The Space Marines have the dual protection of power armor and special sweat glands, and are not afraid of radiation damage - but there are still a large number of captured human slaves in the Battle Moon.
Human prisoners cannot be harmed by radiation. The battlefield contaminated by the laser weapons of the Skitarii Vanguard may not kill these mortals immediately, but it will cause them to contract a variety of chronic diseases. This is also an issue that must be considered.
"After the intelligent control mechas are deployed, replace the vanguards of the Skitarii. Those guys have too many side effects. In addition, we will transport a batch of anti-radiation and anti-radiation from the battleship Suzheng to reduce the number of deaths. A few prisoners are good too."
Fu Qinghai thought about it and gave Lin Yu instructions.
"Okay, Khan."
The attendant took the order and left in a hurry.
Fu Qinghai issued this order with double considerations:
If he were in another reincarnation world at this time, and each explosive bomb and each package of medicine cost assimilation points, then he would be reluctant to use the precious assimilation points to assimilate medicine for these human captives. But now that we are in the Warhammer 40K universe, there is no need to spend assimilation points to use resources. Anti-radiation and anti-radiation are also produced by Phaeton Forge World itself, so he is not stingy in providing free medical services to these mortal captives.
On the other hand, according to the plot of the original novel, these human captives in Battle Moon were basically regarded as heroes by the people on Terra after they were rescued. For example, Haas, a female arbitrator in the Ministry of Justice, was brave enough to shine in the face of danger while assisting the Imperial Fist to destroy the Battle Moon, and gained the support of the people. After the Beast War, Wangorich purged the High Lords Council and Haas became the new Minister of Justice.
Therefore, actively assisting and treating these human captives on the Battle Moon is profitable for Fu Qinghai and the Tiefutu Chapter. They can gain huge reputation from the Throne World, which will be useful for the coup he will launch later... Oh, no reform, maybe it will help.
Fu Qinghai even suggested to Vera Nora that she consider following the Peasant Crusaders to the Battle Moon. If she survived, she might be able to become a Grand Inquisitor with this experience. But she was sternly rejected by Vera. She didn't want to risk her life for a promotion opportunity.
At this time, Fu Qinghai had led the Sisters of Silence to the edge of the battle group's control area, lowered his head and approached the neck armor:
"Director of the Think Tank, I have arrived at Branch Tunnel No. 48. Have you found the experimental subject I want?"
"I found it, Khan."
Danzul's reply came from the communication channel:
"Area No. 13-93, coordinates 13.63.02."
"Wait, I'll come right away."
After Fu Qinghai finished speaking, he quickened his pace.
…
Battle Moon, grid areas 13-93.
Fu Qinghai came to the place Danzhuer mentioned.
He heard the sounds of explosions and firing, but they were not particularly violent. He also heard the rude curses and roars of the orcs, with the ferocity of a trapped beast still fighting.
Advancing along the tunnel and turning a corner, the head of the think tank Danzhuer, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to him and said:
"Khan, there is an orc promethium refining factory ahead. There is a nervous boy and more than seventy orcs. The tunnel under our feet is the only exit. The 10th Company has surrounded them inside, and they have not given up resistance yet. ”
"What level of neurotic kid?"
Fu Qinghai asked cautiously.
"How to put it...it's hard to describe."
Danzul thought for a moment and concluded:
"Strong, but within my control."
The think tank director’s words revealed strong confidence.
But after saying this, Danzul suddenly began to sweat beads on his forehead, and his face turned pale, as if he was suffering from some kind of severe pain. He cast his gaze behind Fu Qinghai and saw more than eighty Sisters of Silence walking towards this side with swords in both hands.
"Okay, I get it."
Fu Qinghai patted Danzhuer on the shoulder:
"Leave this to me."
"Thanks, Khan."
Danjul said with trembling lips. The Sisters of Silence in the tunnel automatically moved to both sides to clear a path. The director of the think tank passed through the group of women and ran with all his strength.
It quickly disappeared from sight.
Fu Qinghai turned around and waved to the nuns.
They continued deeper along the railway tunnel.
"Orc psykers are unlike any psykers you have come into contact with before, for they do not manipulate the power of the Warp in the same way as psykers of other races."
Fu Qinghai said as he moved forward:
"Orcs do not draw psychic energy from subspace. Within a certain physical distance, the souls of orcs will automatically form a network. The core node of this network is Neuroboy. In other words, Neuroboy draws from other orcs' The soul absorbs psionic energy. The more orcs there are and the more intense the battle, the more surging this psionic energy will be!"
The waaagh energy of the orcs is like a closed local area network. Relatively speaking, the subspace is like the Internet, where the waves and turbulence of the emotions of all living beings are raging.
The only sounds in the tunnel were footsteps.
After Fu Qinghai finished speaking, he received no response, so he turned back to look at Sister Silence and saw a group of eyes staring at him, indicating that the nuns were listening carefully.
"We're listening, Arlo."
Novice Sister Fei said.
"OK."
Fu Qinghai is still not used to it.
Deal with these mute people who don't speak.
"Nervous boys, also called crazy boys, or psychic boys, it doesn't matter. You pay attention, those special individuals among the orcs who are nagging, crazy, and behave strangely are the neurotic boys. We must find them as soon as possible. , This is the key to our victory over the beast.”
Fu Qinghai then introduced to the nuns:
"The psychic energy of the orcs will automatically gather into the brains of the neurotic boys. These neurotic boys don't know how to control this power at the beginning. They will subconsciously want to vent the violent energy in their brains, usually causing a lot of damage. They cause great damage, so war bosses often tie bells and other things on them to remind other orcs to stay away. "These bells are also an obvious symbol."
"And this is the key to our victory!"
Fu Qinghai suddenly stopped.
He turned to face the nun and said seriously:
"I'm talking about destruction. What kind of destruction will this uncontrolled power cause? Why are other orcs so afraid of these green wizards? I have seen this psychic energy completely out of control, like the The dam of the embankment will reversely impact other orcs connected in this soul network, and then their heads will burst like overripe watermelons - yes, we can use this method to eliminate orcs in batches, and The more orcs there are, the easier it is to eliminate them.”
Sister Silence also stopped.
Kerel Kasolin began to sign.
"The teacher asked us what should we do specifically?"
Fei spoke on behalf of her teacher.
"I have no idea."
Fu Qinghai shook his head and said honestly.
Fu Qinghai is not untouchable. He doesn’t know what it feels like to have a soulless force field, let alone how to control a soulless force field. He can only convey the descriptions he saw in the Warhammer 40K video of his previous life according to his own understanding. Let the nuns in front of you realize that method for themselves.
"First of all, you need to suppress the psychic powers of the nervous boys. It's like... how to describe it? Suppose their heads are like a pot of boiling bubbling water, and all you have to do is close the lid of the kettle. No. Let this power be vented, but still continue to accumulate.”
Fu Qinghai gestured with his hands and said.
Karel Kasolin looked thoughtful.
"Then you pick up the lid of the kettle and let the psychic power that has been accumulated for a long time to be released instantly, simulating the scene when their psychic powers are out of control. The psychic power overwhelms the brains of other orcs in the network, and then the orcs' My brains exploded one by one like a short-circuited light bulb."
Fu Qinghai expressed his idea:
"It's more complicated than simply isolating psychic energy."
Untouchables are born with an anti-spiritual force field, also called a soulless force field. Facts have proved that this natural ability can be improved through training. The experienced Sisters of Silence can control the scope of the soulless force field to expand or contract. Mortals can cause influence and can also control soulless force fields to suppress psychic reactions or cut off the connection between psykers and the warp.
The Forgotten Knight began to sign in sign language after hearing this.
"The teacher thinks we can give it a try, Arlo."
Fey continued to serve as spokesman for the Sisters.
"Of course, that's why I prepared this experiment."
Fu Qinghai raised his arm and gestured forward.
At the end of the tunnel is the orc refinery.
The Space Marines of the 10th Company blocked the door, but did not launch an attack. What they had to do was to ensure that the nervous boy and other orcs did not escape here for Sister Silence to try and practice. Before the Sisters of Silence were deployed, the green-skinned neurotic boys were usually handed over to the director of the think tank. Danzul specially selected this neurotic boy and trapped them in this refinery as experimental subjects.
"Khan."
The tenth company commander saluted outside the factory.
"Attack."
Fu Qinghai simply waved his hand.
"receive!"
The soldiers of the 10th Company who had rested for a long time immediately took action after receiving the order. They quickly rushed out of the tunnel entrance. Because they had already figured out the specific situation of the promethium refining factory hidden in the cave, they raised their guns. A single burst of fire destroyed the firepower point arranged by the orcs in the concealment, and then each team covered each other and entered the factory.
Fu Qinghai and Sister Silence followed closely behind.
They are sheltered behind reactors and distillation towers.
"Krump all'dese gitz good!"
A roar in orc language suddenly sounded.
Fu Qinghai suddenly saw that the garbage on the factory floor, stones, bullet casings, strips of cloth... all floated in an instant. These debris hung in the air and trembled unsteadily, and then quickly rotated like a whirlwind. stand up. The tornado formed by dust and debris hit the power armor with a clanking sound, but did not cause any damage.
Nervous boy, that's it?
Doubts just emerged in Fu Qinghai's heart.
"Sizzling!"
A thick green electric current snaked like a snake in the air. The Space Marine reacted very quickly and immediately turned around and hid behind the wall with his gun in hand. However, the green electric current penetrated the concrete wall, and the wall instantly opened a gap. The psychic lightning finally disappeared into the air grazing the warrior's bent elbow.
The Space Marine couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and almost couldn't hold the gun in his hand. When he raised his arm, he saw that the ceramic armor on his elbow had turned into flowing slag, and some of the organic tissue on his elbow was... It has been turned into blackened ashes and scattered.
“Krump ‘Em All!”
(Orcish: Beat them up!)
"Waaaaaagh——"
The orcs from the factory came roaring out.
The two warriors quickly turned around and prepared to shoot.
The harsh, nagging voice sounded again:
“I’z Gunna Squig Ya!”
(Orc language: Turn Ya into a jumping jump!)
A large cloud of green smoke instantly erupted from a Space Marine, completely covering his figure. There were faint green arcs and green fire in the smoke... After the smoke dissipated, the Space Marine disappeared, leaving only a grinning, A bouncing, oval-shaped little red-tusked monster.
Damn it! ?
The Space Marine turns into a squiggly!
Isn't this the malevolent polymorph spell from Dungeons and Dragons?
Fu Qinghai looked at Scrooge on the ground in surprise.
"Quack, wow, ow!"
The Red Scrooge was still jumping and yelling angrily.
Karel Kasolin couldn't take it anymore.
Sister Silence took a step out of cover, and the soulless force field instantly unfolded. A cloud of green smoke exploded around the little red monster on the ground again, and the gun-wielding Space Marine reappeared. The Forgotten Knight stood in the middle of the passage with his legs spread apart, staring coldly at the green-skinned boy fifty meters away.
It was exactly as Aoyama described.
The green-skinned boy was wearing a vest and holding a copper staff, with a string of bone bells made of human skulls tied around his waist. Sparkles and arcs of electricity spurted out from his mouth, nostrils and ears, and he stood dancing among a group of orcs. . On top of its head are three small spiers that resemble red warning magnetic storm coils. They should be some kind of green-skin version of a psychic amplifier.
Kyrel Kasolin raised a hand, spread her fingers out like claws, and pointed at the green-skinned wizard in the distance.
Two space warriors quickly stood in front of her, and their power armor blocked the hail of bullets fired by the orcs for her.
The green fire erupting from the seven orifices of the nervous boy was instantly extinguished, and it stood stiffly in place.
"Gah...Waaagh don't move."
"Note, suppress, not cut off."
Fu Qinghai reminded from behind Cassolin.
The Forgotten Knight nodded slowly.
The orcs around him were still roaring and charging and shooting, but the nervous boy suddenly covered his head and knelt on the ground and began to cry. A large amount of psychic energy surged in his skull but could not be vented, giving him a splitting headache... …
Karel Kasolin folded her fingers into fists.
"Ouch-bang!"
The neurotic boy suddenly stood up and shouted to the sky, his head made a loud noise, his skull exploded, a small mushroom cloud rose up on his shoulders, and arcs of electricity surged out of his body... The neurotic boy died on the spot, but his headless body The corpse hadn't reacted yet, and its feet were still spinning in circles.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Just like the gorgeous fireworks set off during the holidays.
More than seventy orc heads exploded one after another.
The series of headshots ended, and the entire factory suddenly became quiet. The Space Marines of the 10th Company were stunned. They stopped pulling the triggers and stared blankly at the group of headless greenskins in front of them. A strong corpse slowly fell down holding a weapon.
"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!"
Headless green-skinned corpses fell to the ground one after another.
A battle is suddenly over.
"Experiment successful!"
Fu Qinghai clenched his fists excitedly.
Fei's teacher, Karel Caroline, is worthy of being the leader of the Sisters of Silence. In such a short period of time, she has figured out how to use the soulless force field to kill a large number of orcs.
Ka Suolin turned to face Fu Qinghai.
His fingers began to make gentle gestures.
"Fortunately, Khan."
Fei Yi spoke for her teacher.
