Chapter 52: The Legacy of the Mechanical Ascension

Inside the splendid palace.

Su Ziyu had a strange silver-white crystal watch in his hand, and at this time, a large piece of data was projected in front of him, and as he flipped through the screen, some extremely strong and surprisingly muscular large green-skinned orcs appeared. These are all the information that the empire has collected, in its heyday, the empire once fought with a warband of the greenskinned orcs, it was a small-scale WAAAGH expedition, and the empire that was just preparing for interstellar expansion was attacked by the orcs, and was directly forced to abandon the original interstellar colonization plan, and instead began to brew the psionic ascension plan.

Angel Shar was lying on the soft golden-red sofa with a red wine glass in his hands crossed by Erlang, and not far away were two handmaidens with beautiful faces but nervous expressions.

"What a rotten system!" Angel Shar's eyes occasionally flashed a glimmer of light, which was when she was reading unknown information, only to see her shake her red wine glass and say, "Human resources are seriously wasted. If such a system does not have the legacy of an ancient empire, it is simply difficult to enter the era of interstellar civilization. ”

Su Ziyu was not interested in discussing the system of the empire with her, and after turning the page, he raised his head and said, "What do you think of the WAAAGH force field of the Orcs?" ”

The blonde angel in front of him raised his head and glanced at Su Ziyu, and said slowly: "Idealistic force field." ”

"I don't know how they were created in the first place, this reality-bending ability I've only seen in some subspace."

"But the material plane, the species that can distort reality, has never been seen before."

Su Ziyu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said with a solemn expression: "Yes." This power is incredible. ”

"Our odds aren't great."

The most troublesome thing about orcs is not their terrible life force, not that new orcs can grow when corpse blood is scattered on the ground, but their innate WAAAGH force field, which is a supernatural force that can bend reality.

And the greater the number of orcs, the stronger this force becomes.

For example, if the orcs only have a small team, and their weapons are broken, and they find some guns, but the gun magazine is too small to fit in large-caliber bullets, the orc boys can use it normally by slashing and slashing it themselves.

Because 'let's just think about it,' it can really be used.

But if this gun falls into the hands of humans, it is inevitable that it will explode, but in the hands of orcs, it can always be biubiubiu.

The more orcs there are, the more terrifying this WAAAGH force field becomes, and when the number reaches a certain level, 'let's think together that this pile of broken copper and iron can make a Gundam', then the technician boys can really make a Gundam."

How does this work?

This ability is simply a bit incomprehensible, although there is an upper limit of the WAAAGH force field, but they have been thinking like this, Su Ziyu can't see the slightest chance of winning.

"There is a limit to the interference of the idealistic force field with reality." After pondering for a moment, Shar said, "Distorting reality and interfering with reality are the power of the gods, and these orcs should not be able to use this power indefinitely, and the scope of the WAAAGH force field should not exceed the upper limit of their understanding of the world. ”

"Judging from the data, their force fields only enhance the power of external objects, and they are not created out of thin air."

Shar's meaning is simple.

The orc's WAAAGH force field is 'I think this broken gun in my hand can explode the tank', not 'I think I should have a gun in my hand at this time to explode the tank directly'.

If it's the latter, you basically don't have to fight, just run away.

"Do you have any good plans?" Su Ziyu looked up and asked.

"There is not enough information about these orcs, and there are no good plans for the time being." The blonde angel in front of him shook his head and said, "But we should pay attention to their number. The number of orcs is the key to determining their strength. ”

"On the battlefield, reduce their numbers as much as possible."

Su Ziyu lowered his head when he heard this, rubbed his forehead and continued to flip through the information in front of him, and asked casually, "How is Isabella doing over there?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Angel Shar's eyes, and she said softly, "She has already gathered those rebels." ”

"I'm heading to the cathedral at this point."

Su Ziyu is still a little envious of Sha'er's direct means of reading information, but he can't do it yet, so he can only rely on perception to obtain information.

"How much time do we have left?" Su Ziyu turned off the projection in front of him and looked up.

Shar closed his eyes and paused for a moment, then continued, "Less than 18 hours. ”

"Isabella is gathering the Empire's troops."

Speaking of this, Shar put a finger to the position of his temple and said softly, "She has ordered all the nuclear silos to be activated, and it looks like she is ready to use tactical nuclear weapons." ”

Drop a nuclear bomb?

Su Ziyu was silent for a while, and then said, "Is it useful?" ”

"It's of limited use." The blonde angel shook his head and said, "The civilizations of the interstellar era basically have the ability to deal with nuclear weapons. ”

Meanwhile.

Just when Su Ziyu consulted a large amount of information and looked for a way to deal with the Orcs, the factory area and military camp in the imperial capital were also fully operational.

Empress Isabella, who had just returned from the cathedral, almost immediately brought people to the factory area, and at this time in front of her were tens of thousands of old mecha that had been sealed, and old did not mean that they were not powerful enough, but because these heavy iron bumps had very obvious defects, the empire took the road of psionic ascension in the early days, so these products of mechanical ascension were directly abandoned and sealed at the bottom of the factory area.

"Her Majesty."

"Do you really want to use these dreadnoughts?"

"Are the greenskins really back?" Next to Empress Isabella is a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocracy, with neatly combed hair, dressed in a medieval-style aristocratic attire, with a laser pistol pinned to his waist, and behind him there are a few people who look basically aristocratic.

Empress Isabella turned her head coldly, and said with a blank face, "Let's start." ”

She didn't answer the doubts of these nobles, but gave the order directly, and with the sound of footsteps, a group of burly soldiers took off their shirts and walked into the workshop in front of them.

These sturdy soldiers all have special tattoo marks on their bodies, which is the symbol of the Astral Army, all of them are selected elites, and they also have absolute loyalty to the Empire, they led the non-commissioned officer to the sealed mechs, and then hundreds of medical troops in white coats walked over, holding various instruments in their hands, and began to test these soldiers.

"Detection complete."

"Start connecting to the nervous system! ……”

"Activate the dreadnought's electronic biochemical fibers! …… Activate the magnetic muscular nerve connection! …… Load up the personal control terminal! ……”

The cold mechanical scalpel flickered with a cold light.

The medics loaded the medical auxiliary arms onto their shoulders, and then a series of delicate surgical tools emerged, and they cut through the musculature of the soldiers, found the nerve bundles in their bodies, and then began to implant some tiny electronic components, which were then attached to the electronic biochemical fibers extending from the tall dreadnought-class mechs in front of them, and injected with genetic repair fluids.

When the nerve connection is complete, the mechs will merge with them, and they will be able to control the mechs as if they were their own bodies, but these heavy steel mechs will also become a prison for them.

The ultimate definition of mechanical ascension is the complete mechanization of the human anatomy.

The dreadnought mecha is different from the armor of the Space Marine, the latter is a modification of the tip of the human body, extending a black carapace, in order to control the interstellar armor, but ordinary people can't do this at all, and they don't have enough resources, so if they want to control the mecha perfectly, they can only be connected electronically, and the two must be completely connected through surgery.

Rumble.

Heavy footsteps sounded.

The first Astral Army soldier to complete the electronic nerve connection took a step forward, he crouched down and opened the metal box more than three meters long, and took out a heavy and huge firearm with a diameter of more than half a meter from it, which is the blaster of the Ancient Lost Empire, which fires rocket-propelled bullets, and the ammunition that can be used is standard blast bullets, hellfire bullets (direct impact on organisms), purgatory bombs (psionic beam bullets) and so on.

There are many models of Shotguns, but currently there are only Expeditionary Shotgun models in the Empire.

Of course.

The Dreadnought's weapons are not the only ones, the 12-ton Dreadnought has a plasma cannon on its arm, and an extended power weapon that is enough to handle any melee and ranged combat. The energy used inside the mech is a thermal reactor, which can be used for long, high-intensity battles, and this type of mecha was once the standard equipment of the Space Marine, but has since been replaced by newer interstellar armor.

Bang.

The first team of Astral Army soldiers who had undergone the transformation gave a military salute to Empress Isabella in front of them, and then stood on the side of the road with a blank face, the transformation of the electronic nerve connection was still proceeding in an orderly manner, and after the nerve connection with the dreadnought, they would have to spend a long time in this heavy steel armor for a long time in the future.

Empress Isabella didn't stay until the end of the renovation process, and after spending a while in the workshop, she moved on to another factory with a larger, more ferocious steel monster.

Of course, the foundation of the empire is not limited to these dreadnought mechs.

You must know that the empire was faced with two choices, one was psionic ascension, and the other was mechanical ascension, although the path chosen by the empire in the end was psionic ascension, but mechanical ascension as a backup option also left a rich legacy.

And now it's time to dip into that legacy!
