A shipyard in the Tyranid Empire, where all defenses have been taken over by the Expeditionary Force as part of a political bargain, and a small convoy is also deployed here for fear of being attacked by bugs or astral spirits.

Under the leadership of Grand Sage Clecis, every priest is working feverishly, with new technology samples and an unregulated research environment that makes this facility a paradise for robotics.

The dismantling of the captured Void Glow Ship, the chemical analysis and research of the ground zizine, and even the thunder beasts that dismantle the swarm are all carried out here, and in addition to the priests of the Mechanical Order, experts from Yumayan are also here to exchange techniques with the priests, and the research on various technologies is never stopping.

Of course, the most important research here is to copy the Tyranid Empire's jump engine, Horus attaches great importance to this research and even sent some of his technical sergeants to supervise this work, it is too important not to rely on subspace faster-than-light technology, Horus will not fully trust the Mechanics, after all, they have a history.

Although Horus and the mechanics who followed him made changes to the Olympia Protocol to bring the oil guys who followed him under his command, they still had a lot of autonomy.

After studying the Jump Engine from Renault and obtaining a sample of the Jump Engine, the Mechanics immediately began their work. And now, the research has finally come to fruition, and when Horus walks into the dock, the first thing he sees is the test ship that has completed its perching, the Human Light.

Modeled after the Hunter-class destroyer, the mechanics of the Order of Mechanics and the technical experts of the Yumayan Protectorate designed and built the test ship.

The Human Light is about 1,200 meters long, powered by a plasma reactor, and is equipped with a Jupiter Type 8.1 plasma engine, a macro cannon, a light spear, a close defense gun, a carrier-based aircraft platform, and a torpedo, all of which are installed, and the most important thing is that the deepest part of her is the MK.1 jump engine that was copied by the Mechanics and modeled on the Tyranid Empire jump engine.

The jump engine is a faster-than-light engine created by humans learning Sarnagar's advanced technology to sail through four-dimensional space, this engine can reach the ability to move at a speed equivalent to thousands of times the speed of light, although this speed is still far from enough for the human empire, a galaxy-level regime, but to be able to get rid of subspace and move faster-than-light is like Armstrong stepping on the moon, which is a very symbolic step.

In addition to installing the jump engine, the Human Light also uses some automation technology, including a fully automatic loader, a fire control computer, an automatic information induction system, and a series of less intelligent automatic devices. These automated technologies allow destroyers that originally required 10,000 personnel to be operated with only 3,000 personnel, greatly reducing personnel requirements.

Horus looked at the battleship in front of him, and he saw not only the battleship, but also the future of the human empire, the future of humanity in the Warhammer world.

Upon entering the bridge, Horus discovered that the Humanlight was decorated in a different style than the regular Imperial warships, with religious decorations not appearing on the ship, and the HumanLight was very clean except for the Mechanics symbol and the double-headed eagle.

"Welcome to the Human Light, Lord Primordial." Grand Sage Clecisis stood beside the captain's seat and said, "The battleship is expected to be ready in thirty-two minutes, do you want to personally direct the faster-than-light experiment?" ”

"Yes, Great Sage, I'm going to go through it with you, this is the first time we're sailing without relying on subspace, how can I be absent."

The Great Sage nodded, "Please be patient, my lord. With that, the Great Sage left the bridge to debug the equipment.

After all the mechanical priests carefully inspected the Human Light, especially the jump engine, the battleship finally sailed out of the dock.

With a blue plasma trail in tow, the Human Light arrived at the pre-booked test site.

"System check, system check, jump engine is in good condition." The Mechanical Priest checked the condition of the jump engine again and signaled to the bridge that it was okay to jump.

"We await your orders, my lord." The voice of the Great Sage, whose tone never changes, came.

Horus took a deep breath and gripped the armrest of his seat with both hands, "Human Light, start jumping!" ”

In an instant, Horus felt that the space was distorted, and he could even clearly feel the change in latitude, and at that moment, he seemed to be beyond the stars.

From the high-dimensional space, the universe is like an uneven and wrinkled plane, and normal navigation is to advance along this surface, and the fastest speed in normal latitudes is only the speed of light, and in high-dimensional space, the speed of direct navigation through space allows ships to sail at a speed equivalent to thousands of times that of the normal universe.

Of course, inside the high-dimensional space, the Human Light was still flying at close to the speed of light, and after the initial excitement, Horus quickly calmed down.

Navigating in the high-dimensional space is very boring, in the subspace at least you can see the bizarre and bizarre subspace creatures, and even fight with them to move the body, even in the incomparably calm universe of the subspace, the fluctuations of emotions still make the subspace colorful, but the high-dimensional space will always be like that.

After about eight hours of high-dimensional navigation inside the battleship, in a slight tremor, the light of humanity suddenly appeared in an empty interstellar space.

"Locating, detecting the star map, Lord Proto, our current position is 0.99998 light years from the departure point, and the voyage took eight hours, two minutes and thirty-eight seconds." The mechanical priest sitting in the navigator's chair reported.

Horus stood up, then began to applaud, "A thousand times the speed of light, very good." When I go back, I'm going to set up a feast for you!" Seeing the temporary captain applauding, the Yumoyan experts who had been transferred over also began to applaud, they really didn't understand why they should applaud and even show merit for an ordinary jump voyage that could no longer be ordinary.

"We don't need a feast, Lord Horus. We don't eat ordinary people's food. The Great Sage of Clecisis said at this moment. Rather than that, it is better to devote time to the study of the Sarnagar creation. ”

"Yes, I agree with the Great Sage," the other mechanical priest nodded in agreement.

Horus wanted to hold his forehead a little, these guys with full heads of machines really didn't have any emotional intelligence.
