Chapter 1257 The First Order Expands Its Territory

What can the First Order make from the Emperor-class battleship Theocrat?

Materials, of course.

One sentence explanation: During the drifting in the subspace, the predecessor of the Divine Right, the Cult Evil was comprehensively eroded by the subspace energy, and its materials were transcendent, so its value increased.

10,000 years is a very meaningful hurdle (it must be soaked enough in the subspace environment for 10,000 years, and it is better to continue to soak enough rather than intermittently save enough), and the materials of the Theocrat have successfully crossed.

For this reason, Kane specifically approved that while recycling the materials of the Theocrat, a reprint of the Theocracy, according to its performance when it was off the assembly line, without reduction.

Kane even let Miranda use the Spirit Bone Coating on a pilot basis.

In this way, the Theocratic became the NO.1 among the emperor-class battleships in the entire empire.

An important reason why Eldar is obsessed with the spirit bone is that after the birth of Slaanesh, he used his howl to attack in a large area, and most of the survivors of the Spirit Race were saved from being devoured by Slaanesh because the spirit bone weakened the power of the howl to a considerable extent.

You must know that time, even the gods of the spirit race were devoured by Slaanesh.

Therefore, this spirit bone does have the effect of shielding and isolating certain negative energies in the subspace. After Kane parsed this material, he inevitably added his own technology, and two versions were born.

One is the general-purpose version, which is suitable for almost all universes.

The other is a special edition, which is particularly powerful in the Warhammer 40K universe.

The coating added to the Theocracy, like electroplating, is the special version.

Therefore, the exterior of the new Theocrat is neither the black of the traditional Gothic ships nor the light grayish-white of the Elven ships, but the silver-cyan color.

It is worth mentioning that after the First Order built a new Theocracy, Kane felt a pain in the egg.

The Warhammer 40K ship is really too big, not to mention the hull that is often several kilometers long, let's just say that the pointed U-shaped bow in front of it is made of the best Edelman alloy, dozens of meters thick......

If such a ship were only a star system, it would really not be able to build several.

Today, the most eye-catching thing in Korna Polaris Harbor is the Theocratic Ship being built.

If the production capacity is opened to the maximum and enough ship-building printing units are mobilized, it will be offline in two months, but Kane has set 18 months.

In this way, including the subsequent repair of the Advanced, it will not delay the direct fleet of the Gothic Star Region and the mixed expeditionary fleet to tear apart.

Of course, even if it is eighteen months, it is still a fantastic speed, after all, the construction of a large ship of Warhammer 40K is often hundreds of years, and it is not uncommon to build a ship in a thousand years. That's still the normal speed of not working.

The ship-building speed of the first order will inevitably affect logistics.

Although it is now basically refurbished, there is still a high demand for raw materials. In the future, the demand for new ships will inevitably increase greatly.

Therefore, it is time to start strengthening logistics.

It is precisely because of the need to take into account this aspect, as well as the reluctance to expose Khulner prematurely.

The First Order constructed, or assembled, a new cluster of spacedocks (teleported from the Big Dipper) in Antioch Fortress.

The fortress of Antioch is the space fortress where the Starfish of Earth is used by Louvansberg to cover up the existence of the families of naval officers and soldiers, and it is also the space fortress where the Starfish Portal is located.

THE SPACE FORTRESS IS A FROZEN DWARF PLANET, ABOUT 2,000 KILOMETERS IN DIAMETER, ORIGINALLY ONLY SOMEWHERE IN ITS NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, WITH A STATION COVERING AN AREA OF SEVERAL SQUARE KILOMETERS.

After Luvansberger planned to open it, he also spent some oceans trying to install the façade.

Later, Kane was not satisfied with the progress of the construction, so he let him roll aside and applaud it, and by the way, he could blow water to the outside.

As a result, the dwarf planet has rapidly changed its appearance, and now its diameter has shrunk by nearly 300 km, because its ice has been taken out of the starfish as a 'sea', further solving the problems of water use and marine economy.

Dwarf planets that have been to the ice caps of more than 100 kilometers are left with a lot of silicon, that is, rocks, still dotted with ice caps and glaciers, and then there are a lot of industrial bases.

Each base is a city, with no name, only numbers.

Nowadays, the high orbits of dwarf planets have star rings, or star belts, because they are like super bullet belts, bullets, of course, warships, one by one, are inserted in the dock one by one.

Antioch Fortress was also named after the Star Ring.

This is also known as the No. 7 independent built world, and if you listen to the name, you will know that it is the style of the Mechanicus Cult, and it is indeed a collaboration with the Mechanicus Cult.

Of course, this is an external statement, in fact, the people of the Cult of Mechanica, the priests of science and technology, come here mainly to study, at most there is a graduate student position.

In this era, the real situation of the Mechanicus Cult is actually quite embarrassing. In a word, most of the knowledge was lost with the destruction of computer equipment. Only a few were left on paper.

Not to mention that the paper records were just a procedure, buried in the warehouse, and could not be properly kept, and it was not at all properly kept, and when it was needed, it was found that many of them had already become slag......

If knowledge is lost, how can it work?

Standard production modules, all-encompassing, covering almost all areas.

Of course, there is a big classification of it.

For example, STC specializes in the manufacture of machinery and equipment.

Under the tireless archaeology efforts of the Mechanicus Cult across the galaxy, as well as the overbearing (it's all mine!) search, relying on the STC excavated from the grave, it struggled to maintain a fairly complete production system.

The rest depends on the brain, that is, metaphysics, which is also a major reason for the origin of the Divine Religion. After all, the transcendent does exist, and idealism also works, so it is mixed with demons.

And this time to come to study, the main thing is to complete the knowledge of the generation, especially the principles and formulas involved in basic science, and in order to apply what you have learned, it is necessary to participate in the construction on the spot.

In addition, the mechanics of the Cult of the Mechanicus also came to obtain prosthetic technology.

Their own prosthetic modifications, in Kane's words, are mechapunk, a little magical, not cyber at all. Not to mention the aesthetics, the performance is really not very good.

Also, in terms of biochemistry, the two sides also have a lot of topics to discuss. The 21st Interstellar Marine Regiment, known as the 'Cursed Formation', has exposed the fact that the Mechanicus has regressed and become more and more metaphysical in biotechnology.

Kane didn't want to see this trend, after all, the Mechanic God Cult still has a bit of a spectrum when it comes to talking about technology, and talking about transcendent is really the younger brother of the younger brothers, and just paying tuition fees can incarnate the first pit ratio of the empire.

The Mechanics also knew that they were about to become Orcs who were 'thinking about ......' at every turn. They also want to return to the right path of reason, but there is no way!

Now there is.

Kane did not skimp on the knowledge of basic science, and in addition, he basically made up for the science of the broken era, and the reason why he used the basics. It is because the laws of each universe are different. Miranda is now checking the knowledge. After all, although it had been in the Big Dipper region for 200 years before, it seemed that there was still a difference between the special place where the law force field shielded was different from the outside.

The Cult of the Mechanicus reciprocated by contributing their knowledge.

More than half of the garbage, but there are still some sparkling creative things worth Miranda's ingestion. In this way, it is not surprising that the space dock here is filled with a strong academic atmosphere.

In addition to repairing the ships in the Gothic Star Sector, the Cult of the Mechanicus specially collected and arranged for various ships to come over, and at the same time, the restoration was also a process of analysis and refinement of the design concept.

If you go through these various ships, at least in terms of ships, your knowledge and ideas will be completely straightened out.

The benefits to the Cult of the Mechanicus are self-evident, and it can be said that they are regaining their vitality with each passing day.

In the eyes of the soldiers, the most exciting and happy thing is that the battered ships have magically become new ships.

It's not an exaggeration to say 'magical' about the restoration process, and in their eyes, they see the equipment swinging back and forth in orbit like a shuttle of a weaving machine, and then the ship is melted down layer by layer as if it had been sliced.

And on top of it, the same equipment swam around, and the ship was 'brushed' out layer by layer, and it was also cooled down. The entire ship is equivalent to melting down and rebuilding, and it is too modest to say that it is refurbished.

But in fact, it is a renovation, mainly reflected in the balance of a large number of calculations, after the ship completes the holographic scanning, simply set in the template, obtain new data, and the printing begins. The materials are basically dismantled from the original ship, of course, additional and replacement material formulas can be added, but that will inevitably increase the cost.

So basically don't add it, just optimize it, and that's a renovation.

The reason why it looks like a reconstruction, and it is indeed a reconstruction, is mainly due to two characteristics that reflect the forced style. One is the molecular-level printing technology, which means that the material is reduced to the basic elements. Another is that the sea of energy is used, and it is not bad for money.

In this 'repair' way, it is the outfitting part that takes more time.

After all, it's not holographic printing, and the internal equipment is installed separately except for a few large pieces. Including tables, chairs, benches, beds, bedding and so on.

The turbulent robot, forming a handling chain, completes the next steps at an unimaginable speed under the efficiency planning, day and night, but it still takes a lot of time to really go offline.

Of course, in the eyes of the people of the empire, this kind of repair is too conscientious. Compared with the past, the seafarer's cabin is not covered compared to the officer's ox.

In fact, the most exciting thing for the officers and soldiers is the gravity system, many small ships of the Imperial Navy (with a total length of less than 2,000 meters) basically do not have enough gravity systems, and they are either damaged or dismantled and misappropriated. Therefore, the officers and men of the small ship are very painful, and gravity disease is a big problem.

But for repaired battleships, the gravity system is only the foundation, and there is gravity in all weather, in all areas. This alone has made many people happy.

This is also a major reason why the officers and men of the big ships do not mind changing ships.

Moreover, the interior space of the restored ship has been more or less redesigned, the lighting is more humanized, and the sense of suffocation and darkness is greatly reduced.

People who have a before and after comparison are naturally happy to fly.

In fact, the happiest thing is the officers and men of the transport ship.

That's right, the transport ship was also part of the Imperial Navy. Although, by Kane's standards, none of the lives they lived were human.

The officers and men of these transport ships, especially the soldiers, who have never been off the ship for almost their entire lives, live in inferior capsules, eat synthetic food that can be used as bullets, and work when they open their eyes until they fall asleep...... They still turn into or parts, they don't need any discipline or reminders, but like a biological clock, they can always find their place and the work they should do, and they are running so intelligently.

Lower than the officer, the transport ship is equivalent to being sent to exile, and there is basically no meritorious service to be earned, and he works until death, including horizontal death.

Kane has planned to strengthen its transportation capacity in order to ensure that it needs to handle materials in the future. This includes the dedication of ten spaceyards to repair the Empire's standard-class transport ships.

In the process, in the context of the real situation, medical treatment and medical examinations were also arranged for the personnel on the transport ship. Among them, most of the seafarers have been replaced with biochemical prostheses.

These mass-produced are like clones, but in fact they use too many chemical catalysts and add various materials, which are very different from the natural human body, and can only be called biochemical prosthetics, and the cost is very low, especially in the context of ultra-cheap energy.

But for seafarers, it's a new life. It is not difficult to imagine how happy they are, and some even go crazy because they are too happy, but fortunately, the prosthesis has an emotional suppression function. Originally, it was used to resist fear and tension, but it turned out to be joy first.

The repair of the transport ship is not free.

Coupled with the transfer of costs for the repair of other ships, it can be said that every repaired transport ship, although nominally still naval, is classified as a supernumerary ship regiment of the First Order.

They will still join in the heavy logistics and transportation, but it is mainly to ensure the first order.

Of course, in the eyes of the empire, this should have been a priority, but now they don't have to worry about it, but the goal has been achieved, and it has saved considerable costs, which is simply a good thing for prostitutes to find money in vain, and it is difficult to find it with lanterns.

It is precisely because it has become a supernumerary ship group that it has been repaired more carefully, and a higher proportion of magic changes have also been added.

In terms of performance, the modified standard class is similar to the mainstream standard class, and it is said that it is two kinds of ships.

However, in fact, Kane attaches more importance to the collection of big data by seafarers. The officers and men of the Imperial human transport ship in Warhammer 40K, which is really called the group that has been trained in Hell difficulty, has the data on the operation of the ship, which is worth collecting.

With the rate of repairing and disarming ten standard-class transport ships almost every two days, the number of foreign ships expanded rapidly, and the escort warships of the First Order began to join.

The first order of light warships of the Grand Arcana series began to appear in front of the world.

The First Order does not have a frigate. Light warships are only destroyers, raid ships, reconnaissance ships, and landing ships.

The escort is a tank-class and a world-class destroyer, the former is capable of fighting, and the latter is good at defense.

The destroyers of the First Order, which have been deliberately enlarged to a certain extent, are only about 800 meters in length, and there are slight differences between different models, but they are basically within this category.

In terms of size, compared to similar ships of the Empire, it can only be said to be a small point, even an Imperial ship-class ship.

But the combat effectiveness, the cruiser of the empire, must also be in high integrity to have the firepower of a chariot-class destroyer, and there is nothing comparable in flexibility, range, accuracy, etc.

Soon after the First Order's convoy officially joined the battle sequence, it encountered a raiding group on the edge of a wild area outside the Gothic Star Zone.

More than thirty pirate ships of various types, trying to bully the escort fleet with only a five-ship formation.

As a result, the three chariot-class ships of the escort fleet took the initiative to attack, and the enemy opened fire first, and as soon as they got started, the plundering group was confused.

And then they experienced the horror of the chariot.

First of all, the laser cannon hit the pirate ship that thought it was very flexible with high precision at a distance of 10 light minutes.

Soon after, the space torpedo arrives and burrows through the hole opened by the laser cannon, exploding not only itself, but also detonating the air, turning the pirate ship into an oven.

And the chariot class has been moving at high speed, using the energy cone to cut a pirate ship in two like a cutter.

What kind of chariot is it called, so it can't be crushed or collided? The self-weight of a chariot-class destroyer is not high, but it can be compensated for by speed, like a sharp dagger, and when a large ship pierces through, a small ship will tear apart.

The pirate side has a numerical advantage, and some take advantage of the chariot class to leave and attack the ship group directly.

At this time, the world-class destroyer showed its strength.

A world-class destroyer is equipped with an MA, just like most of the modern destroyers on Earth have anti-submarine helicopters. Capricorn MA, following the setting of the Capricorn Saint Seiya with a holy sword, is equipped with a ship slasher.

In addition to MA, the world's proudest thing is the floating energy shield and the laser cannon defense array. The large shield spear is a world-class feature.

The floating shields of two world-class destroyers can provide shelter for the entire group of ships in a tight queue. And the laser cannon defense array, which is aimed at torpedo missiles.

The pirate ship that tried to rub the oil began to be abused by MA at a long distance, and the huge plasma beam of the ship slashing knife was very eye-catching, and suddenly lit up, as if drawing a sword in hand. MA can even stop on enemy ships like humans slaughtering whales and slash at them.

WHERE HAVE THE PIRATES EVER SEEN THIS KIND OF FIGHTING?

The two Capricorns are like killing gods, and the pirates have collapsed before they have even entered the effective range of artillery fire.

The pirates also had carrier-based aircraft.

But they soon discovered that the carrier-based aircraft was not as agile as the MA, which looked significantly larger than the carrier-based aircraft.

The MA has a wide range of postural control nozzles, and the most important thing is that it is powerful.

With this strong momentum, the pirates have already lost.

With strong power, the protective threshold of the energy shield can be very high, the mobility is also strong, and the power of the ship slasher is also guaranteed.

It can be said that although the heart of MA is small, the power is comparable to that of a pirate ship, but the efficiency of energy use between the two is obviously not the same level. Therefore, there is no suspense about MA cruelty to pirate ships, or most of the existing ships of this era.

In the end, the raiding regiment failed to even fire at close range, so they died and fled. And more than half of the warships became a footnote to the fame of the escort fleet in World War I.

Under normal circumstances, even if pirates fight the navy, they are not so miserable. After all, the cycle of ship manufacturing is long, and the cycle of pirates is even longer, and every time the fleet goes into battle, it is lost in double digits, and the imperial navy with a total of more than 100 million ships cannot afford to lose, let alone pirates.

With this confrontation, the warships of the first order have entered the field of vision of people in military circles, and some tactical experts have sighed after understanding the beginning and end of the battle: With the advent of a new era, the inherent combat mode and ships will gradually become obsolete.

In fact, the empire has learned various types of tactical styles from other alien races, so it will not be dumbfounded in the face of the new tactics of the First Order warships, in the words of some people: The empire has been established for so many years, what kind of have you not seen?

The reason why some experts spoke with emotion is mainly because this is the change of the empire itself, and Kane is in the limelight because of the Holy Gate and Holy Water, so there is such an echo.
