When many people discuss the four gods of chaos, it is very easy to ignore one issue - the existence of a reality barrier. There is no way for the four gods of chaos to cross the barrier and directly interfere with reality.

As a reincarnation, Fu Qinghai could naturally easily come to this conclusion, but for the natives of the Human Empire, it was not until 32 that the demon inquisitor Damakoso was the first to put forward the research inference that "the gods of chaos must use power in this world through intelligent life".

Even in the subspace, the four gods of chaos are not omnipotent. They are indeed the four strongest ones, but there are still a large number of subspace creatures and undivided demons that do not belong to the four gods in the subspace, as well as other gods: the gods of the Spirit Race, the second brother of Mao, and the legendary fifth evil god.

Fu Qinghai sat in the captain's room.

Patiently flipping through the colonization journal of the Foundry World.

He guessed that through the probability of a planet giving birth to psykers, it might be possible to roughly judge the strength of the reality barrier in the area where the planet is located—just approximately.

The birth of psionics needs to be counted by special institutions, and there may be another way to check the history of the planet: whether there are feudal superstitious traditions and customs, whether there are myths and legends of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, whether there are frequent manifestations of saints and other phenomena, if all of the above situations exist, it means that the reality barrier of this place is relatively weak.

The "Whispering Mountains", where the Shadow Moon Wolf first encountered demonic possession, and the "City of Songs", the location of the Battle of Istfan III, are all very famous places in the original book, where the reality barrier is relatively weak.

After the Great Rift in the 41K period opened, this kind of place can be seen everywhere near the dark side of the empire.

Through the colonial diary, Fu Qinghai learned that the Phaeton Casting World is a very short history of the Mechanicus Cult's forward base, and there are few local historical records, and what attracts the exploration fleet is the huge and complex ancient labyrinth underground.

Ancient Labyrinths......

Fu Qinghai pondered.

I'll have to talk to Master Buck about what he's found in the underground labyrinth.

……

After reconnaissance and proven, the Phaeton Galaxy has a rich collection of meteorite rings, lingering around the periphery of the entire galaxy, and the long and winding ring is like an endless road, leading to the dark void beyond the galaxy.

Fu Qinghai named it: Rust Ring Belt.

The Ishimura sailed silently in the rusty ring.

Fu Qinghai led the technical priests, including Master Buck, to pilot the Ishimura on the first mining operation in the Warhammer 40K universe, demonstrating this technology to them live.

The process of planetary cracking mining generally goes like this:

After the initial exploration, a high-value mining target is identified, and Harmony Mining Corporation (CEC) will then send a ground team to the target planet or celestial body to establish a colony for subsequent work.

These colonies are generally ring-shaped and surround the plots that will be split from the planet, and in the process of construction, in addition to chiseling the plots that are about to be mined from the surrounding plots, it is necessary to build a special device at a pre-selected location to generate gravity cables.

Once all these preparations are complete, a planetary split-class mining ship will anchor in orbit around the planet and use the rib-shaped gravity cable generator in the belly of the ship to create a very powerful gravitational connection or gravitational force field, which will pull the target plot off the planet in an extremely spectacular manner.

Pulling a piece of land into space – that is, within the working range of the mining deck of a mining ship – will sometimes pull the right sized plot directly into the mining deck. The miners and geologists on the mining deck began to squeeze the remaining value of the plot bit by bit.

While the mining ship disposes of the parcels that have been hauled away, the ground team repeats the previous work, building new ring colonies around the new plots.

When nothing is left of the plot that has already been dug up, the mining ship on the track will move over the new plot to start a new round of cracking mining operations.

To sum up, the planetary cleavage technology can indeed be used as a weapon, but it is not small - mainly the early establishment of ring colonies.

"The act of splitting the first plot from a planet is generally referred to as 'uncorking.'"

Fu Qinghai said to Master Buck.

In the first operation, the Ishimura did not choose a planet as a target, but a meteorite that was not too small or small, and the technocracy had already established a ring colony and returned to the mining ship, and the Ishimura could begin to crack the meteorite.

"So, uncork, let's go."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

On each of the ribs of the fishbone ship, blue columnar rays connected to the device on the meteorite, and began to pull the meteorite, slowly approaching the mining deck of the Ishimura.

"What about pyrolysis efficiency?"

Master Buck asked.

傅青海 says:

"It's a long-term operation that will take up to three to five years, depending on the size of the planet. Generally speaking, the first year is spent on prospecting and establishing ring colonies, and the next two and a half years involve the excavation of the earth's crust, as well as crushing, sorting, and smelting operations in space. ”

"It takes about a week to crack a plot, and it takes about a day to transfer the cracked plot from the surface to space-synchronous orbit."

"Weeks and days are Terra Standard Time."

Master Buck nodded:

"It takes three to five years to completely empty a planet's mineral resources, which is indeed very efficient."

"Master, after that, Huiteng Foundry World will establish Huiteng United Mining Co., Ltd. to unify the command of mining operations and coordinate the prices and channels of external sales."

Master Buck looked dazed:

"Company? What is that? ”

"Uh...... It's similar to the Nest Union. ”

Fu Qinghai didn't know how to explain it.

"Oh, within the Cult of the Mechanicus, we generally call it the 'Macrobranch' or 'Branch'."

Master Buck said.

"Okay. By the way, Master, have you and your Techno Priest been in the underground labyrinth of Phaeton for so long and have found nothing? ”

Without any foreshadowing, Fu Qinghai directly shifted the topic to this.

"I knew you were going to ask this, Aoyama."

Buck didn't hide it either, saying:

"It was an intricate ancient labyrinth, and there were still many unexplored areas, which were full of traps and forbidden shackles of ancient technology, and we used the cover of these unknown areas to evade the pursuit of the Children of Horus, but we were easily found by the Raven guard under your command."

Master Buck glanced at Fu Qinghai deeply:

"He can blend in with the shadows, he's a powerful think tank, right?"

Fu Qinghai said two modest sentences for Sat Farran:

"It's just talent, and it's not yet at the level of a think tank."

"Originally, I didn't plan to share this technological discovery with you, this is the last hole card I left for myself, if I have lost power or fallen into a dangerous situation, I will use this thing to exchange power and personal safety to Mars."

Master Buck says:

"But, I see ambition in your eyes, Aoyama, and I suddenly realize that your pursuit and ambition are far more than a small casting world, you desire glory and conquest, you crave more things."

No, you're overestimating me, I only desire Naiko......

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"Compared to the amazing technology you've demonstrated...... Forgive me for using the word 'magical', as I'm not sure if they're relic-tech or alien-tech. ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of cunning and tacit understanding in Master Buck's tone.

"Compared to them, what is this little thing I have hidden in my possession? What I regard as the foundation of my life, others can easily take out a lot of them, and it is ridiculous that I cherish the broom. ”

Fu Qinghai understood what Master Buck meant, nodded slightly, and said:

"So?"

"So, what we found in the ancient labyrinth is - the STC that converts the beam weapon."

"Ahh

Fu Qinghai nodded knowingly.

Conversion beam weapons, like deflagration weapons, are semi-lost relic technologies, and can still be seen on the Knight Titans of some knight families, as well as in the casting worlds of some Dark Mechanics, and most of them are gone.

The Conversion Beam Weapon is somewhat similar to the castrated and weakened version of the Space Necronomicon's antimatter particle cannon, and many of the weapons of the Human Empire are very similar to the monkey version of the Space Necronomicon Weapon, and I don't know if there is any connection between this, maybe it's just that the imagination of the GW screenwriters has dried up.

This weapon fires a high-energy conversion beam that converts matter into pure energy, and the tighter the target's material structure, the more energy it converts, making it particularly suitable for heavy armor units and building bunkers.

However, there are also many disadvantages, the size, weight and energy consumption of the conversion beam weapon make it a vehicle-mounted weapon, generally mounted on the arm of a Knight Titan or dreadnought, or as the main gun of a tank, and there are also small conversion beam weapons, usually given to the terminator to carry, which is now less common.

As the two talked, the Ishimura had fully incorporated the meteorite block into the working area of the mining deck, and the technical priest was using the wide variety of tools and equipment on the mining deck to process the minerals in the meteorite.

"Thank you for your dedication and candor, Master Buck."

傅青海 says:

"Although you are no longer the director of foundry, the future world of phaeton casting will still be indispensable for your help, and I also have a scientific discovery to share with you."

Master Buck was stunned:

"You still have?"

It's endless.

Fu Qinghai pointed to the PIG protective suit on the bridge of the Ishimura and said:

"It's not a relic technology, it's just another form of use of the static force field - the static module."

"The First Evolution"

The mechanical body under Master Buck's robes trembled slightly.

Not every Foundry World can produce Static Stasis Force Fields, this thing is very expensive, and the Static Stasis Force Fields of the entire Hazy Star Domain are produced in the Bellaken Casting World in the Calisis Star Zone, which has a monopoly in this area.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and smiled:

"I hope to see my company equipped with stagnant grenades and stasis bombs soon."

"Your Excellency!"

At this moment, a technical priest hurriedly ran over.

"The meteorite has been mined, and we have a rough idea of how this mining ship works."

……

The Goliath-class factory ship was brightly lit.

Techno-Certs are working overtime to produce the Pulse Blaster and the Fat Launcher, the latter of which has undergone a magical change from the Mechanicus to hydraulically catapult farther away, and is less radiant in the Wasteland style and more in the familiar Warhammer 40K art style.

Taking advantage of this moment, Fu Qinghai also began to consider the upgrading of his personal equipment.

Unlike company equipment and Imperial Guard equipment, personal equipment is the only thing that doesn't have to consider the cost, and it can be as expensive as it is.

Fu Qinghai came into contact with a lot of sci-fi IP power armor and protective clothing in the Resident Evil movie universe, but none of these things could arouse his interest.

As far as the production model of power armor is concerned, the MK series of the Star Marine is already the best one, and the Cult of the Mechanicus has been continuously improved and polished for thousands of years, with almost no shortcomings, and it is very mature in all aspects.

As far as the personal model of the power armor is concerned, Iron Man's Mark series and Model series are also the most luxurious personal equipment in various sci-fi IPs, and Fu Qinghai has some of the former's technology but has not touched the latter.

As soon as he came up, he was equipped with the best combination of the two power armors, and naturally he didn't look down on Fallout, Alien, Half-Life, Dead Space, Elysium, Forsaken Battlefield, and nuclear explosion RPGs, as well as all kinds of power armor and protective clothing in these sci-fi reincarnation worlds.

So can these things that Fu Qinghai doesn't look down on be given to the equipment of the Schwerin Corps under Koshvito?

No money, no need.

Unlike personal equipment, any weapon that is mass-produced and installed needs to consider the cost, not to mention that Fu Qinghai currently has only one casting world and one nest world in his hands, he is sitting on the golden toilet, and the resources he has at his disposal are not unlimited, as long as the resources are limited, they will involve distribution issues.

Doesn't the Human Empire have mortal-sized power armor? Both the Inquisitor and the Sister of Battle, have dedicated power armor, as well as the Silent Sister's famous Armor of Oath.

So why not give the big heads of the Imperial Guard a set of power armor? It's not because there is no money, the Imperial Guard Corps that can wear carapace armor are all tyrants and elites.

The Sun Auxiliary Army, wearing the Sun-style Void Combat Armor, has long been a thing of the past.

Why is it not necessary?

The history of the development of weapons science and technology has always been that the spear is greater than the shield, and the attack power of the weapon is always far greater than the defensive power of the armor compared with the same cost.

Fu Qinghai felt that if there was money to equip all members of the Imperial Guard with power armor, it would be better to use it to build a few more Space Marines - the emperor probably thought the same way, the Sun Auxiliary Army was only 120,000 when it was fully established, and the eighteen Astarte Legions at its peak had 2 million people.

This is called "resource allocation".

By exterminating the Midnight Lord Warband, the Brotherhood of Divine Machines harvested more than one hundred and twenty usable genetic seeds, genetic seeds from the Eighth Legion.

Fu Qinghai's plan is to wait until the genetic seeds are insufficient, and then consider creating personal armor for the warband servants and the Imperial Guard led by Koshvito.

It doesn't have to be power armor, maybe it's just a protective suit.
