Chapter 33 Ready to go
For the delivery cycle of these five standard Terra weeks, Fu Qinghai was waiting on Saturn and did not go anywhere.
On the one hand, it is waiting for the Saturn shipyard to be converted into battleships, and on the other hand, it is also waiting for the Navy to deliver the crew.
Even if the entire crew of the Burning Horse was moved to the Suzheng, it would not be enough to operate and control this behemoth, and additional crew members would definitely be needed, and these experienced seamen were all from the split and transfer of the Imperial Navy, and Yin Lia Lavallet had already coordinated everything in the Ministry of War.
Fu Qinghai, as the representative of Party A, came to the scene to give instructions and supervise the modification of the Suzheng by the Saturn Shipyard.
Different from the vast array of equipment that the Imperial Navy has: from small and fast frigates and destroyers, to mainstay light, standard, and heavy cruisers, to battleships of all kinds, and a wide variety of special function ships.
After the promulgation of the Astarte Codex, there were only two types of warships in the Astarte Wargroup's ship sequence: the Battle Barge and the Strike Cruiser.
A battle barge is a battleship of a special modification, and a strike cruiser is a cruiser of a special modification, so what is special about the two? The teleportation deck and the launch port of the airborne pod are some of the add-ons designed specifically for Space Marines.
Teleportation technology must be used in conjunction with power armor, which is not normally worn by mortal soldiers. Orbital Airborne Strike is also exclusive to Space Marines, as mortal fragile bodies cannot withstand the huge overload of orbital airborne.
The Alicia Airborne Forces in the Imperial Guard are not part of the orbital airborne strike, they are more similar to paratroopers, they do not use airborne bins, but use gravity umbrellas.
Therefore, if it is just an ordinary naval cruiser or battleship, there is no need to install a teleportation deck and an airborne launch port, and it will not be used at all, including the training cage, and mortals will be tortured to death if they enter the training cage.
For the Brotherhood of Divine Machines, the Flame Horse is a strike cruiser, and the Suzheng is a battle barge, and in addition to the above few necessary special components, some additional facilities unique to white scars, such as motorcycle training grounds, are also to be installed.
Qiao Shida worked hard to train the recruits, and Fu Qinghai carefully observed the modification.
Fu Qinghai also wanted to have his own Phaeton Shipyard, so he was particularly curious about the process of the Saturn Shipyard, and watched the modification process of the Suzheng throughout the whole process.
He is a master of casting and a representative of Party A, so he has to stand by and watch, and the oil veterans don't have much to say.
……
A month and a half later.
A brand-new Imperial-class battleship is anchored at the airport.
Fu Qinghai stood on the bridge with his hands in his hands, looking at the dense crowd of people below, the uniformed crew members boarded the ship one after another, and the flow of people shuttled endlessly, gradually merging into the giant ship.
The crew is the cornerstone of a warship, just as mortals are the cornerstone of an empire, and many of them may spend their entire lives, or even generations, on this ship.
Turning around, we have to let the Fifty-Six conduct a psionic political trial, the Suzheng is the flagship of the Brotherhood, and it must not be mixed up with any spy spies such as the Inquisition, the Assassin Tribunal, and the Ministry of Justice.
Fu Qinghai thought secretly in his heart.
……
The meeting room of the Suzheng.
It is more spacious and luxurious than the Liema.
The main members of the Shenji Brotherhood attended the meeting.
Fu Qinghai looked at Eugene and said:
"All the crew of the Burning Horse have been transferred to the Suzheng, with me as fleet commander, Eugene as captain, Tracy Gray as chief navigator, and Charrhiza Flossin as the star choir director."
Two ships are also ships, and a mini-fleet is also a fleet.
The Suzheng took over the old team of the Liema in its entirety, and these are all old people who have followed Fu Qinghai through battles, and they are very trustworthy in terms of loyalty and ability.
Eugene Eleanor wrote them all down.
When he heard that Xia Hao Flossin was the director of Star Language, Eugene was obviously stunned for a moment, and he stopped talking.
Fu Qinghai said:
"If you have something to say, say it."
Xia Hao himself was also at the meeting, Eugene glanced at the little girl, and said to Fu Qinghai:
"Khan, Xia Hao has served for a short time after all, and I'm worried about the ...... of the Star Choir."
Fu Qinghai said resolutely:
"This is my decision, Xia Hao is the director of Star Language, there is no need to discuss this."
Xia Hao just graduated from the psionic academy at the age of nineteen, and joined the Burning Horse as the only Star Whisperer, and now he is only twenty-one years old.
Fu Qinghai insisted that this girl in her early twenties be the director of Star Language, because Fu Qinghai only trusted Xia Hao. It is not uncommon for psionics to be possessed by demons, and the usual choice is to be executed on the spot, Fu Qinghai tried his best to rescue, and the little girl knew that she was grateful, and the two conspired to pass on a lot of false star information.
What's more, whether it is the graduation report of the Psionic Academy, or Xia Hao's usual performance, including the possession of the Slaanesh demon, it all shows that she is a girl with high psionic talent, and ordinary humans don't have this condition if they want to be possessed by the demon.
The little girl with lace strips over her eyes sat timidly in her seat, her white and slender hands twisted nervously, and she hung her head and did not dare to speak.
Tracy Gray, who was beside her, smiled silently.
Fu Qinghai clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, that's it, get familiar with the work of each post as soon as possible, let this battleship run normally, and then we will return to Terra for a short rest, replenish energy, ammunition and various supplies, and then we will embark on a new journey."
Camille stayed, and the others dispersed. By the way, Lao Qiao called Lin Yu to the conference room. ”
After Fu Qinghai finished giving the order, everyone left one after another.
Tracy came to Fu Qinghai's side and said:
"Khan, taking the opportunity to recuperate in Terra, I would like to take a few days off work to go home, my family is in Atlantis."
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"Okay, just get back on time."
Looking at the back of the navigator leaving, Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered something again, and raised his hand to stop her:
"Wait a minute, Tracy."
The woman turned around with a blank expression.
傅青海 says:
"Ask me if Terra has a family named 'Kemp', and they have a composer named 'Hall Kemp' who served as a narrator on the cruiser Sosalan of the Ultra Warrior Legion."
Tracy felt a little strange, but agreed anyway:
"Okay, Khan."
Then he turned and walked away.
The siege of Terra, which lasted for three months, not only smashed the buildings and facilities of the throne world, but also the old aristocratic system and gentry class in the throne world, those nobles who hid in the palace were fine, and those who did not hide in it, the rebels who did not surrender would be killed, and the rebels who surrendered would be liquidated.
The last time he returned to Terra, Fu Qinghai asked Yinlia Lavare to use the military department's connections to find this "camp family", but the result was that there was no such family. In the years of war, many long-established powerful families fell in the Horus Rebellion, and Hall Camp obviously did not belong to any prominent elite family.
All Navigator families are hereditary nobles, and perhaps Tracy Gray will be able to find out about the Hall Camp family in Terra's aristocratic circles.
Lin Yu, who was wearing training clothes, walked into the conference room.
The meeting of the reincarnators began.
Fu Qinghai knocked on the table and said:
"Two of you, let's talk about the last reincarnation world."
"Khan, my last reincarnation world was the movie "Elysium Replica World."
Lin Yu took the lead in saying.
"Oh, Elysium?"
Fu Qinghai's expression shook when he heard this:
"Have you got a fully automated medical platform?"
Elysium's medpod series of fully automatic medical platforms, the black technology ceiling of sci-fi medical treatment, the effect is even more magical than Star Wars' Batak box, although I don't know if it works for the two-hearted and three-lung biochemical transformation of the Star Marine, it is likely to be useless, but it is also excellent for mortal soldiers and warband servants.
Lin Yu shook his head, put a strange-shaped firearm on the table, and said:
"That's all there is to it, the Kusar Crowe Pulse Rifle."
Fu Qinghai was disappointed and scolded:
"No, you're a space soldier descending on Elysium Universe, or a new all-alien enhanced version, can't even a fully automated medical platform? What's the use of giving you these two hearts and three lungs power armor? ”
Lin Yu smiled bitterly and said:
"Boss, have you forgotten, I don't have the money to assimilate the power armor at all, I borrowed the assimilation points of this body from you."
Oh, as soon as Lin Yu said, Fu Qinghai also remembered.
I was in a hurry to scold him just now, and I forgot about this stubble.
"Besides, my height of two meters and six or seven is so eye-catching that I was almost caught by the Citizen Cooperative Administration and the Amadanai Company for research, and it took a lot of effort to escape."
Lin Yu said.
Sounds like a disgrace to the Space Marines.
But Fu Qinghai is empathetic, he himself has been a naked space soldier for a while, Elysium is also a science fiction universe, and there are weapons that can penetrate power armor, let alone a strengthened flesh and blood body.
Lin Yu returned all the thousands of assimilation points he borrowed to Fu Qinghai, it seems that although this guy didn't get his hands on the black technology, he made a lot of assimilation points, but as long as he can get a fully automatic medical platform, Fu Qinghai would rather he not pay it back.
"Director Ka, what about you?"
Fu Qinghai turned to Kamil.
Camille pouted helplessly:
"Jurassic Park's reincarnation overworld, it's boring."
Jurassic Park Universe ...... Fu Qinghai thought back to the series of movies he watched as a child, and nodded, there was indeed no commendable scientific and technological achievement, except for using a drop of mosquito blood in amber to reproduce most of the dinosaurs of the Jurassic period.
Strictly speaking, the international genetic technology company Ingen "biosynthesizes" dinosaurs rather than "resurrects" dinosaurs, because the atmospheric environment of the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Triassic periods of the Mesozoic era and the modern Earth period is certainly different.
Fu Qinghai was thinking about it, when Camille pushed a hard drive to the table and said:
"A complete set of information on biological cloning technology from International Genetic Science and Technology."
Fu Qinghai laughed and took the hard drive:
"You still know me, Director Ka, I deserve to be the chief of the Divine Machine Brotherhood. I happen to have some special creatures from the Fallout universe that you need to clone out. ”
Camille is a veteran, much more reliable than Lin Yu, a hairy boy, and Camille is not a newcomer to reincarnation, the points he has accumulated in his hand are enough for him to assimilate the power armor, plus the medical backpack behind him should be fine.
……
Mars, orbital outer ring.
A huge fleet is about to set sail.
A battleship, a cruiser, a weird fishbone ship, and on top of that, a Goliath-class factory ship and a whole nine Imperial transports.
The latter two were loaded with personnel and supplies sent from Mars to Phaeton.
The Goliath-class factory ship, a higher level than the Goliath-class casting ship, can directly absorb plasma from the star to provide an energy source for the ship's fuel and onboard production system, but the disadvantage is that it is very fragile and can be blown up.
Imperial transport ships, Fu Qinghai is very familiar with this type of ship, and his debut battle, the Planetary Battle of Lothwell 7, revolves around three Imperial transport ships, but those three Imperial transport ships are controlled by the Speaker.
"Grand Sage Kane has shown enough kindness to your teacher, and Master Quintor has no low status on Mars."
Yin Lia Lavalre stood beside Fu Qinghai and said.
Standing side by side, the two looked through the armored glass portholes of the bridge at the slave workers who were busy loading various instruments and equipment below, and the huge production line was broken into sections and carefully sent into the huge open cargo hold of the transport ship.
Fu Qinghai bowed his head slightly and said:
"Too many of the Foundry Worlds are not listening to the announcement, and Mars is also hoping to develop a faction loyal to itself in the border region of the Hazy Star Domain."
"Master Quintor has promised Grand Sage Kane that for the next ten years, the paint of Phaeton Casting World will still be the same rust red as Mars, and not only that, but all products produced by Phaeton will be the same as the Heraldic Logo, identification system and forging specifications of First Casting World."
Fu Qinghai said.
Yin Li glanced up at Fu Qinghai suspiciously.
She didn't know Master Kunto very well, but her intuition told her that it seemed to be Fu Qinghai's handiwork.
"Your idea for Master Quintto?"
Yin Lia asked.
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Grand Sage Kane hopes that Phaeton will become a "little Mars", but the real situation may be disappointing to him - Fu Qinghai and his teacher are very interested in alien technology, and with a steady stream of technological supplements from other reincarnation worlds, Phaeton is likely to become the second Huangquan Eight.
It is known as "Little Yellow Eight".
……
Fu Qinghai led several technical priests to walk in the passage of the Shicun, and the oil veterans looked left and right, very curious about the internal structure of this "ancient technology spaceship".
"As you can see."
Fu Qinghai said as he walked.
"This ancient spacecraft uses a faster-than-light navigation technique that is similar to, but not identical, to our current technological means, which I call 'oscillating point' navigation."
There is no shortage of superluminal technologies in science fiction, from subspace navigation to hyperspace travel, from wormhole shuttle to warp flight.
The faster-than-light engine of the Dead Space series has a distinctive name - "oscillation point drive", which comes from the great invention of Dr. Hideo Ishimura.
When traveling faster than light with the oscillating point drive, the ship is in a distorted space-time called "concussion space". In the process, the ship itself is encased in a special force field to prevent itself from being distorted by the oscillating space, a concept very similar to the "warp bubble" mentioned in other science fiction works.
As shown in the game Dead Space 3, in order not to get lost in the distorted shock space, the ship needs to use the shock beacon located at the destination to navigate, which is similar to the role of the navigator.
The comic Dead Space: Recycling also features a large ring-shaped shock point drive auxiliary device called the "Shock Ring", which acts like a stargate in Warhammer 40k.
Fu Qinghai stopped in the engine area, pointed to the oscillation point driver in front of him, and said:
"Although I didn't try to start it, after analysis, I think that this ancient technology engine, the oscillation point drive, is likely to be a kind of subspace engine, which can enable ships to enter subspace."
A technical priest immediately asked:
"But this ship doesn't have a Geller force field generator, so how does it manage to sail smoothly in subspace?"
Fu Qinghai smiled slightly:
"I guess...... The subspace of ancient times may not be as turbulent and energetic as it is now. ”
The technical priests were stunned when they heard this.
Was the ancient subspace calm?
This is a very bold guess.
The cosmic history of Warhammer 40k is involved.
"Do you have proof, Aoyama Khan?"
Fu Qinghai shook his head:
"No, pure speculation."
He can't say he's seen GW's setting.
"Alright, gentlemen."
Fu Qinghai clapped his hands and said:
"I'm not here to explore the history of the universe, but what we need to discuss at the moment is a realistic engineering problem - how to get this ship to follow my fleet to the Misty Star Field."
Speaking of which, the oil veterans temporarily put aside their speculation about ancient technology and began to discuss it babblingly.
It was proposed to attach the Ishimura to a large transport ship, and it was proposed to temporarily install a Geller force field on the Ishimura.
In short, there is a way.
……
Terra, Lions Gate Airport.
Lin Yu, who was wearing power armor, led Tracy Gray to Fu Qinghai's captain's room.
Fu Qinghai raised his head from his desk:
"You're late, Navigator."
Tracy, who was standing behind Lin Yu, was disheveled, her hair was messy, her eyes were hazy with tears, and her nose was red from crying.
Fu Qinghai was a little surprised.
In my impression, Tracy is the standard Terra upper-class aristocratic woman, with a magnetic voice, elegant manners, and always with a temperament in her speech that the inhabitants of the throne world have seen the world, why is her appearance so embarrassing today?
"Khan!"
Tracy came to Fu Qinghai, choked up and cried:
"My family, my dad and grandfather, they forced me to marry my own brother, they said they would send a new navigator to take my place on the Suzheng, and I stayed in Terra to marry and give birth to offspring for the family."
"And then?"
"I didn't want to, I didn't obey, they locked me in the family dungeon, I found the opportunity to escape from it, they sent the family private soldiers to chase me, fortunately I met Chief Lin on the way to the Lions Gate Airport......"
Fu Qinghai looked at Lin Yu:
"What about the pursuers?"
Lin Yu made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Fu Qinghai's eyes widened:
"Killed!? Stinky boy, this is the fucking Holy Terra, you're killing people casually in Terra? ”
Lin Yu hurriedly waved his hand:
"No, no, Khan, I just knocked them unconscious and threw them down the drain."
Fu Qinghai thought to himself that this was about the same.
The son of the Minister of Justice should not have any legal knowledge.
A navigator family, whether it is an authoritarian family that settles in the capital, a nomadic family that follows the fleet, or a blinded family that lives on the border, Fu Qinghai is certainly not afraid.
But there's no need to deliberately offend a Navigator family.
Once upon a time, the Emperor's network plan accidentally leaked the news, and was known to the Navigator Ambassador, because they were afraid that the network plan would lose its current status and role after the success of the network plan, all the navigator families wanted to unite to secretly sabotage the emperor's network plan.
You must know that at that time, the Horus Rebellion had not broken out, Macardo was not dead, all the members of the forbidden army were alive, and the eighteen genetic prototypes and their respective legions were loyal, and these navigators dared to engage in such small actions in private.
It can be seen how unscrupulous and frenzied the vested interest groups are when safeguarding their own inherent interests.
Of course, on the other hand, some senior and old navigators are actually very strong in their own combat power, and their psionic abilities are strange and unpredictable and difficult to prevent.
Intermarriage between close relatives is a common means adopted by the Navigator family to maintain the psionic bloodline, Fu Qinghai is not good to comment casually, a family that cannot give birth to a Navigator will inevitably gradually lose its transcendent status and preferential treatment, and the Thorndike family in Shiweilin Chaodu is an example.
Fu Qinghai is seriously weighing the pros and cons.
He just heard that Tracy was in some trouble in Terra, so he sent Lin Yu to the Navigator Compass to pick her up, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing in the end.
Fu Qinghai looked at Tracy:
"What do you think?"
Tracy sobbed and said:
"I don't want to marry my brother, I hate this kind of consanguineous marriage, I hate my parents, they were united under the persecution of the family, and my childhood was spent in this twisted family environment."
"My brother, he has had a congenital genetic defect since he was a child, he is paralyzed, mentally low, swollen like a monster, but the family has never been willing to end his suffering, and raised him in the dungeon, just to save his life and marry the daughter of the family one day."
Tracy hugged Fu Qinghai's arm, looked up at Fu Qinghai with a tearful face, and said:
"I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect them to choose me, woo woo, Khan, please help me, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back and get married. ”
"Ugh."
Fu Qinghai rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment and sighed:
"I see, you just stay on the battleship, I'll take care of it."
There was no way, Fu Qinghai could only contact Yin Lia.
"Szu, I've got something tricky......"
Fu Qinghai recounted the situation to Yin Lia Lavalre in the communication link.
"Why are you involved in the internal affairs of the Navigator family, Aoyama?"
Yin Lia's rhetorical question was not what Fu Qinghai expected.
Indeed, whether it is intermarriage between close relatives or captive relatives, it is all an internal matter of the navigator family, and it is still a tradition, and the Xingju Court can't control it, so why should Fu Qinghai manage it.
Fu Qinghai can only change the angle:
"Let me put it this way, Szu, Tracy doesn't have a particularly strong talent at the moment, but I need a navigator I can trust...... Also, Szu, you are also a woman, and I am sure you can understand her feelings. ”
Yonia Lavalre was silent.
She is an unmarried, not only is she unmarried, but after she joined the Ministry of Military Affairs, she has not even looked for a partner, and Yin Lia's ultimate obsessive-compulsive disorder on data makes her feel that a partner is superfluous in life and is very eye-catching.
But that doesn't mean she can't empathize.
"Okay, I see, I'll figure it out."
Eventually, Yin Lia said slowly.
Fu Qinghai didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so he said:
"If I need to explain the situation to the Great Khan, I can report to the Great Khan in person......"
"No, you don't." Yin Lia directly interrupted, "Don't bother him with this bit of. ”
"Okay, then please, Sizu."
