Chapter Ninety-Six: Children of the Void
Fu Qinghai came to the top of a ruin heap with a wide view and found Koshvito lurking here.
The Spartan warrior lay silently in the rubble, his pitch-black matte Thor's hammer power armor blending in with his surroundings, and a long spear in his hand.
This sci-fi gun is painted in light gray and black, and the barrel is like two metal bars clamped together, with a certain gap in between.
Magnetic track weapons, Fu Qinghai understood at a glance.
Fu Qinghai slowly climbed next to him, connected to the short-distance radio frequency communication channel, and said:
"I've got enough information, how are you doing, Kosh?"
"Wait a minute."
Koshvito whispered, his face obscured by a golden mask, and he moved the muzzle of his gun slightly, pulling the trigger.
The light blue arc flashed between the two magnetic tracks of the barrel, and a scream broke through the air.
"Smack!"
Fu Qinghai looked in the direction where the muzzle was pointing, and the eyepiece vision instantly pulled in, and he happened to see a corpse with a broken chest.
Koshvito raised his arm and snapped his fingers.
Several gang members who had been lying in ambush nearby quickly poured out of various ambush points to pick up equipment and collect the bodies.
Koshvito looked at Fu Qinghai:
"The last one is done, you say, Aoyama."
Fu Qinghai asked:
"Railgun?"
Koshvito nodded:
"That's right, the full name is 'Asymmetrical Recoilless Carbine-920', abbreviated as 'ARC-920', how about it, do you Star Marines have it?"
Fu Qinghai shook his head:
"There's really no such space marine."
Admittedly, the Human Empire and the Cult of the Mechanicus did not have the technology to accelerate the electromagnetic coil, and the only one in the Warhammer 40K universe that has mastered similar technology is the Titanium Empire. 1
Koshvito was happy when he went on the board:
"Yo, finally let me get a game back."
Koshvito couldn't help but continue to show off:
"I also have a needle lance captured from the Covenant, do you Space Marines have such a weapon?"
Fu Qinghai shook his head: "No." ”
The needle-shaped ammunition fired by the needle lance is something called the "Subanis Crystal", not to mention that the Human Empire in the Warhammer 40K Universe does not have it, nor does the UNSC in the Halo Universe that is good at reverse copying Star Alliance technology.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Koshvito was suddenly happy.
Warhammer 40K has a significant difference from other sci-fi IPs, that is, the Human Empire and the Cult of the Mechanics of the Warhammer 40K universe prohibit the research of alien technology.
In the Halo Universe, at the beginning, human technology was very backward, and it was defeated and suffered heavy losses by the more technologically advanced Star Alliance, and many colonial planets were burned into glass balls by the Star Alliance's warships. Later, in the years of war, the weapons and equipment of the Star Covenant were continuously reversely studied, and the explosion of human science and technology led to the emergence of many powerful weapons, such as energy shields, magnetic track weapons, laser weapons, etc., and the evolution from live-fire weapons to directed energy weapons was completed.
The Naval Intelligence Agency (ONI) has a dedicated department called the Reverse Engineering and Prototyping Division.
But the Human Empire is different, Fu Qinghai wants to study alien weapons, which is theoretically risky, and most technical priests will not study alien weapons.
Fu Qinghai looked at the armored warrior in front of him, happy like a two-meter-three child, and really couldn't bear to hit him.
Spartan warriors are also biochemical humans, and Spartan II can be counted as the strongest one, with an average height of about two meters.
Fu Qinghai thought about it, in order to establish the dominance and primary and secondary relationship in the future cooperation, it is better to extinguish Koshvito's arrogance.
Fu Qinghai asked:
"Kosh, besides the railgun and the needle gun, you should have other weapons that are not bad, right?"
Koshvito nodded: "Of course. ”
No one will show all their hole cards to others when they meet for the first time, and in the comparison between Koshvito and Fu Qinghai when they first met, neither of them mentioned what their weapons were.

Fu Qinghai then asked:
"And you're going to make these weapons?"
Koshvito was stunned for a moment, and said:
"No, this is a weapon issued by the UNSC, and I brought it with assimilation points."
He glanced up at Fu Qinghai a little strangely, and thought to himself, aren't you?
Fu Qinghai Road:
"I will. All of the weapons and equipment I use, including this armor, I built it myself. ”
Koshvito is a simple soldier and warrior, at most plus the identity of a top instructor, he has only been trained in the Spartan program since he was a child, his miniature flamethrower and miniature missile launcher were changed by someone in the Star Wars universe, he subconsciously thought that Fu Qinghai was the same as him.
Fu Qinghai pointed to the skull gear symbol on his shoulder armor and said:
"Do you know what this sign means?"
Koshvito shook his head:
"Hulda told me that it was the symbol of the Cult of the Mechanicus of Mars, a large force in the human empire."
"A force that accounts for half of the human empire."
Fu Qinghai emphasized, and then asked:
"Can you make a Spartan warrior?"
Koshvito said:
"That's what the scientists at ONI Division 3 are studying, and it's none of my business."
Fu Qinghai smiled:
"I can make Space Marines."
That's right, because Master Quintor is a geneticist among the technocrats, and he is also a biological sage, strictly speaking, Fu Qinghai is not only a technical sergeant, but also a pharmacist, at least he is proficient in the entire process of the nineteen transformation surgeries of the interstellar marines, from cultivation to implantation.
The Spartan warrior was speechless, and without turning on the perspective, Fu Qinghai could guess Koshvito's deflated expression under the golden mask.
Fu Qinghai patted Koshvito's shoulder armor and smiled without saying a word.
A voice squeezed out between Koshvito's teeth:
"You're amazing."
Count you awesome, for a man, these four words are already the highest level of praise.
In the second round of the competition, Koshvito was defeated again.
While the two were chatting about these few words, the Spartan Gang's horse boys had already gathered around with the weapons and equipment they had harvested.
Koshvito said:
"The old rule, according to work, this group of knight hunters was brought into the ambush circle by Buz Dulles, and he has the greatest credit, this laser sniper rifle belongs to you, Buz."
Koshvito handed a laser gun with a sight from the trophy to a man with a cloth cover on his head, and he took the weapon with peace of mind.
Fu Qinghai stared at the man with the cloth bag on his head for a second, and asked softly:
"Children of the Void?"
The cloth cover man turned his head, and in the two round holes exposed by the cloth cover, his eyes were a little suspicious, and he said:
"Can you see my face?"
He has a strange accent.
Koshvito was also curious:
"Aoyama, your eyepiece has a perspective function?"
Fu Qinghai looked at the cloth man in front of him and nodded slightly.
Koshvito explains:
"You're right, Buzz is indeed the Son of the Void, he was kicked off the ship by his captain, his status made him suffer discrimination in the lower nest, no one wanted to accept him, but I didn't mind, so I took him into the gang."
The time span of the human empire's regular interstellar voyages is very long, some ships never even stop, and the crew gradually adapts to the disruption of real space by subspace, giving birth to generations of heirs in the cold cabins, and these people born in spaceships are called children of the void, which is a widespread legend among various worlds and interstellar travelers.
In fact, changes in gravity, cosmic radiation, and subspace distortions, etc., cause these humans to stay on the spaceship from conception to birth, and indeed undergo some degree of mutation, including pale skin, slight deformities, strange speech and gait, or unusual appearances, even if some people look fine on the outside, outsiders can still sense something not quite right from their aura.
It was through the perspective function of the eyepiece that Fu Qinghai saw the man's strange skin and sparse and slender black hair.
The Children of the Void are discriminated against within the Empire, and many citizens of the Empire believe that they bring bad luck and are reluctant to approach them. It is rare to see a child of the void on the surface of the planet, and most people will never disembark from the ship for the rest of their lives, from birth to death.
Koshvito laughed:
"You don't believe the superstitious claims of the gods, do you, Aoyama? Buzz was familiar with the dark environment, and he drilled a pipe in the Nest of the Schwerin as if he were home, and he was my right-hand man. ”
"The stinking nest is about the same as the depths of the ship, if not better."
The man, Bouz, chimed in, and his voice was a little muffled through the breathing valve and the cloth bag.
Fu Qinghai ignored Koshvito's words, but stared at Buzi's face and asked directly:
"How long have you been in the Nest?"
"Well, two, two years."
Buzz scratched his hood, visibly nervous and stuttering in the face of the Space Marine's questioning.
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"From what I've just learned, the Nest has been shrouded in a subspace storm for decades since the rebellion, and no fleet has ever visited the Nest. From which ship were you driven down, it won't be...... Lady Luck, right? ”
Hearing that familiar term, Koshvito was startled and quickly turned his head to look at Buzz.
The Son of the Void was also slightly stunned, and said:
"Yes, it's the Lady Luck."
Koshvito shouted:
"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier?"
