Topic: Accountability Responses

Think about it every day: Si is a servant in life, and rest after death

Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you are a faithful servant of His Majesty the Emperor, the all-knowing and all-powerful human god, and in view of the accountability you have sent earlier, I am very terrified that I have exhausted myself and dare not slack off.

The reply is as follows. Emperor Mingjian, the following sentences are true, and I have exhausted my knowledge, and I hope that Your Excellency can give your approval.

In the case of the rebellion and invasion of the Iron Warriors, a traitor to Chaos, we are well aware of our responsibility. According to the information currently available, the rebellion was initially started by thieves on Lucian's main planet, and its leader was Mankov Perionch, a former Planetary Self-Defense Force officer. He received the emperor's grace, but did not taste the reward, but made a mistake and called rebellion, which can be described as a great crime.

When the rebellion surged, the chaos traitor "Iron Warrior" also appeared at the same time, filthy in the territory of the God Emperor, echoing with the rebels, and for a while, it flew and devastated the planet Lucian, and its crimes were monstrous and difficult to explain.

But whoever offends the authority of the Emperor will be punished for what he has done. The Heavenly Punishment of the Emperor descended from heaven after a month, and several divisions of the Imperial Defense Force and the Order of Astarte descended on Lucian to fight him and expel the Filth. By the grace of the Emperor of God, I fought valiantly for months, beheaded more than 10,000 enemies, completely crushed his plot to invade, burned his corpses, and expelled him from the Emperor's territory.

The rebel Mankov's troops were all killed, and the traitor "Iron Warrior" was defeated and fled as rats. At this point, all the filth was expelled, and Lucien returned to the grasp of the Emperor, but it was a pity that his thief Mankov Perionch could not see his body.

(The following is an encrypted message:)

As Your Excellency said, the Inquisition did not set foot on Lucian to investigate before Mankov Perionch's rebellion, but did not arrive until the rebellion broke out and the Chaos traitor Iron Warrior had landed before an Inquisitor arrived with the name "Lather" and his surname unknown.

Forgive the offense, although he led a group of battle nuns to the battlefield, he hardly ever confronted the enemy on the battlefield. It is said to be a deep strike behind enemy lines, but it is not confirmed. At the end of the war, when the rebels were almost wiped out, the military headquarters decided to carry out a beheading operation and directly kill Mankov Perionch, but due to the inquisitor's uncooperation and rashness, Mankov Perionch was able to escape.

I beg your pardon for the offense, this defeat is really the fault of this judge, and my generation has done our best, the emperor has learned from it. Shortly after Mankov Perionch fled, the Iron Warriors suddenly retreated. Admittedly, they have begun to lose the war, but apparently not to the point of rout. In my humble opinion, this retreat is very abnormal, repetitive, very abnormal!

I look forward to your approval

Glory to the Emperor!

High Inquisitor Solaris Leonidas sighed and set the report aside, and a servant hurriedly came up to take it away.

He's held accountable to all the worlds that have reported being invaded by the chaos traitor Iron Warrior over the past year, and he's received a lot of responses so far, but none of them were what he wanted, until the report arrived to him this morning.

With years of experience and intuition, the High Inquisitor recognized at a glance that this was what he wanted.

In addition to the obvious, there are two things worth noting in this report, one is the timing: according to the above, the rebellion and invasion took place just a few months before the outbreak of the battle on Tantalus 5.

The other is the Inquisitor of the Inquisition mentioned here, Rather, a name he is all too familiar with, but not because of the man himself, but because of the man behind him:

Tasdar Ardaris, High Inquisitor of the Inquisition. This gentleman is his old rival and an important figure in the Rebirth faction, and Rather is his chief staff. As long as Lather is mentioned, eighty percent of it is Tasdar who is behind the scenes.

Now on the Tantalus V, he had two people he could trust, one was a disciple of his old friend, and a promising junior of the Amaratyan sect in which he was located, the Inquisitor Marcus. The other was his predecessor, Edward, a Combat Crusader acolyte who was now a chaplain in the Imperial Guard, but the appearance of the Iron Warriors and the ancient evil of the Enslavers had completely blocked psionic communication.

In other words, there is little way for Solaris to meddle in the situation on Tantalus V right now, and all he can let Marcos know is to tell him in advance about Edward's existence and the help he can provide.

And, somehow, Solaris subconsciously felt that the situation there would never be so simple, and that there were other forces peeking at what was on that planet.

It's certain that the Iron Warriors must be looking for something, and for now, Solaris doesn't know anything about it.

However, none of this mattered, the Inquisition needed to solve the problem, but there were also other means to achieve the emperor's will. Now, what Solaris expects is that Marcos can find Edward before the situation deteriorates, and at that point, Solaris's previous arrangement will come in handy.

Suddenly, an attendant walked into the office with a report in his hand.

"My lord, the Grey Knight has sent back a report."

"Huh?"

Leonidas raised his head suddenly, wasn't Tantalus 5's psionic communication cut off? How-------

He grabbed the report, which stated that the Grey Knights he had sent to support Marcus Aurelius had arrived at their destination...... But it's not Tantalus 5.

"That's not a small move, Tasdar-------" Leonidas smiled slightly.

But it doesn't matter, those guys are too anxious, the radicals have always been like that, and now, it's time to grab them by the tail.

――――――――――――――

There was an old post about the value of the Blaster in Warhammer 40K, where many people with positive opinions thought that the rocket propulsion principle of the Blaster was better, and the negative opinion was that the bullet fired with gunpowder did not need to be propelled by a rocket.

So someone really did the math.

Suppose a 50-gram warhead is used, a high-energy gunpowder, explosives and propellant are used, and the energy density is 37MJ per kilogram, which is at the level of hydrocarbon fuel. The maximum velocity of the bullet is 3000 m/s. The gunpowder fired is called a blaster for a while, and the warhammer is called a blaster.

The result of the calculation is as follows:

1. Blasters:

Weight per bullet: 50 + 30.4 (gunpowder weight) + 30 (shell weight) = 110 grams.

Rear seat momentum: 150 kg. M/s.

Power: 0.225MJ (kinetic energy) + 0.37MJ (explosion) = 0.595MJ

2. Explosive guns

Bullet weight: 50 (warhead) + 300 (rocket shell) + 1080 (propellant) = 1420 grams

Rear seat momentum: 424.8 kg.m/s

Power: 1.35 (kinetic energy) + 0.37 (explosion) = 1.72MJ

It can be seen that the power of each bullet is only two-thirds greater than that of the blaster when the recoil momentum is twice as large as that of the blaster and the ammunition carried by nine times less than that of the blaster. Ten rounds of explosive bombs are obviously much more powerful than explosive arrows.

From the above conclusions, it can be seen that in the case of using gunpowder weapons, the combat effectiveness of the "blaster gun" of the power armored unit is far inferior to that of the "blaster gun".

It's embarrassing......
