Both the Riemannus and the Chimera are the most mature and reliable designs in the Empire's armament, with a simple structure, a sturdy physique, few failures, easy maintenance, the ability to use almost any flammable liquid as fuel, and an unrivalled ability to adapt to the terrain, whether it is a hot desert, a cold snow, or a muddy swamp, so even if the performance is mediocre and not particularly proud, it is still the backbone of the Empire's armored force.

Unfortunately, however, the battlefields to which Riemannus and Chimera are adapted obviously do not include vacuum and gravity-free environments. Maybe the vacuum is easier to overcome, and an auxiliary air cylinder can make the engine run in a vacuum, but weightlessness is really difficult to solve. The Mechanics couldn't equip them with usable magnetics to attach them to the deck, so they had to make do with large jet propulsion. This thruster works well when transporting supplies between ships, and it is fine for the tank to barely run, but there is little hope for it to be flexible in street fighting.

Under normal conditions, the tank can use the track to turn 360 degrees in place, but the thruster fixed on it does not even have the most basic turning ability. That's the real reason I brought two sentinels with me. Sentinels with magnets on their legs are the only vehicles that can move freely in weightlessness, and they are powerful enough to propel weightless vehicles. In battle, it's up to me to use psionic energy to push me. In fact, Ah Da and the navy mechanical priest sitting in the car could not operate the chariot by themselves at all, they could only barely manipulate the weapons, and the chariot was moving entirely with the help of external forces. Even the weapons had to be handled with care, as the large rotation of the turret would put the body in an unmanageable state of rotation.

The storage of chariots has greatly slowed down the pace of my march, and any small turn and junction will waste us a lot of time. I started to get irritable.

I must have made the decision to take the chariot with me because of the decline in psionic intelligence. Although the chariot is more windy than the infantry, but at the moment, I have this kind of scrap wood chariot that can't even take care of itself!? I'll have to protect them later! This time I am not going to find the enemy's main force for a decisive battle, but just waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the enemy's small detachment, and it is enough for me to go by myself!

Calm down! Reason! I silently adjusted my mentality, telling myself that the burdens behind me were actually not too strict for me, and with my own strength, let alone dragging them back, even if I carried them back, it would be easy. And although I don't need a chariot for this mission, I do need technicians like Ah Da and Father Mechanic, and technicians are vulnerable to the heavy firepower of the Chaos Space Marines, so it is understandable to bring a chariot to protect them.

After convincing myself, my mood began to become calmer, and then happy, sometimes the speed was slowed down, and I quietly released my psionic energy to drag them, and this sneaky behavior made me even more pleasant - think about it, when others go to the battlefield, they are carrying guns and cannons, how can anyone carry a tank like me?! What's more, I'm using psionic powers in front of the Battle Nun......

Speaking of Aishwarya, although she followed me all the time and I never looked back, I kept track of her every move, and the results of her observation made me a little strange, her attention was not on me, but on the dark corners where the distant headlights could not shine, and walked between me and the suspicious position, intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was really here to protect me. Did she not even find out who I was a psyker? Did she misunderstand the meaning of the Grand Nun's command? Or am I mistaken?

The mechanical priests sitting in the Chimera showed me the way from time to time, and I reached my destination very smoothly. This is not the bridge in the superstructure at the rear end of the ship, but the power system on the lower level. The spacecraft's main thrusters, subspace engines, and other core power plants are located here, as well as a large number of plasma generators. Most of the generators had been shut down when the crew had evacuated not long ago, and now, the shaking from the deck beneath them was getting stronger and stronger, indicating that the generators were constantly activating. …,

The purpose of my coming here is to find those generators that have been turned on, turn them off, and hunt down the technicians in the enemy camp by the way, if you can take out some Chaos Space Marines, it will be an unexpected gain, and the pressure will be reduced a lot in the future decisive battle, after all, there are only forty or fifty real enemies, and one less one will die. Didn't the enemy want to leave in the spaceship, and I didn't let them do it, so I caused trouble for them and delayed them for a while. It's best to be able to take out the main enemy force piecemeal, and even if you can't, it's good to delay until the people on the heresy come back.

Yes, I chose a very conservative tactic. I can chase and fight more and more fierce enemies on the heresy redemption, because after all, it is just a simple battlefield, as long as I can destroy the enemy, I don't care what the battlefield looks like, and it is a big deal to withdraw after defeat, so it can be said that there is no psychological burden. The Melvidslov, on the other hand, was the ship that took me home, the way out of battle, and I could not allow any accidents to happen, neither the bridge nor the engines in battle. It is impossible for me to leave on the heresy Redemption, and the Inquisition is a place where all must stay away.

The darkness and silence around me brought great mental stress, even if I had not yet seen the existence of life in my perceptual domain. The noise of machinery has always reached my brain through my body, and the sound of guns that I would rather hear is a luxury that I crave out of reach. The headlights of the two chariots and two mechs roamed back and forth, searching not only the flat ground, but also the walls and roofs on either side - in fact, in weightlessness, there is no distinction between up and down—but the space is so vast that darkness still dominates the vast part.

This situation has improved after encountering the generator, and I have something to do to relieve some of the stress in my heart, although it is not my main business. The mechanical priests in the Chimera's carriage disembarked and turned off the running power generator, while I was on guard. It's very simple, the emergency shutdown of the generator only needs to pull a switch, and I learned it after watching them operate it once. As far as I know, getting started is an extremely complicated affair that requires a long and meticulous series of overhauls, adjustments, and prayers and blessings to appease the burning souls of those ancient machines.

Looks like the task will be easy.

"Can we wait here for the enemy? When they find out that there is an engine down, they will send someone to overhaul it, right? Aishwarya asked suddenly.

It seems that she is also starting to get tired of this kind of march in the dark and silence, and to be honest, I do feel that this Jian yì is very good. Ambushing the enemy in one's own predetermined position is a pleasant thing to do, and to rush into the enemy's ambush position -- no one likes to do this without a commissar holding a gun to the back of the head.

The sudden power outage has already announced our arrival to the enemy, and they will flee next? Will they search for us or go into the lurk on the spot? If I were the enemy commander......

No, the enemy claims to be a bunch of pirates, and I don't know much about their tactical thinking. Maybe Silvia or Captain Vane would understand a little bit, but I'd better forget it with my army mentality.

"Are these generators necessary to start the ship?" I asked the mechanical priest.

"It's not. There are more than sixty generators on board, which only need to be activated for a third to get the main thrusters running, and half for subspace navigation. A mechanical priest replied.

There were only three generators that we turned off just now.

The enemy's aim is to seize the ship, and the enemy is too few in number to die. Since these are not necessary, for the sake of safety, if I were the commander of the enemy......

I waved my hand forward, "All, speed up." ”

We need to start a race of speed with the enemy. What follows is a battle to grab the key points, and the rules are in our favor - is it much faster to shut down than to turn on?
