042 Enlightenment
After taking all the secrecy measures, Alexei finally connected the metal tetrahedron in his hand to the display, so that the first page of the L-Star Gate design was displayed in front of several high-level executives.
"This ...... This is! ”
It took the technical sage less than 0.1 seconds to complete the first page of the brief description of the giant structure and the basic operating principles, and then, the indescribable happiness suddenly overwhelmed him.
Milak didn't say anything, instead turned his head to look at the archbishop beside him.
Under the gaze of everyone, Alexei calmed down and slowly spoke:
"The authority of the Lord of Mankind is unquestionable, and His Majesty the God Emperor declared in my dream that I would receive a treasure here that would change the fate of the Empire......"
"Now, I got it."
The prophetess's voice fell, and the eyes of several high-ranking officials all turned in the same direction.
In the corner of the round table, sat a beautiful woman who looked no more than twenty years old, her expression was grim, her figure was tall, even if she did not have high heels, she was much taller than the naval commander who sat next to her before, and she was about to catch up with the unarmored Space Marine. Her short, flaxen-colored shoulder-length hair was neat and neat, and her jewel-like turquoise eyes were fierce and fierce, like a lonely wolf.
She was the only Inquisitor allowed to remain in the room, and the most staunch supporter and promoter of the "Resurrection of the Emperor", the radical Inquisitor: Bernartita.
It was Bernatita, through her own connections and prestige, who connected the grassroots members of the state religion to claim the right to interpret the prophetess's prophetic dream for herself, claiming that the treasure mentioned by the Lord of Mankind in the prophet's dream was the same as the treasure in the hands of the orcs that could revitalize the planet, and further insisted that as long as she obtained this treasure, she would be able to make the emperor walk in the world again.
It was precisely because of such heavyweight slogans and flags that they were able to assemble such a large fleet and troops in just a few years, and form two armies of martyrs and pilgrims, singing hymns in praise of the emperor, fighting bloody battles all the way through the green starry sky.
And now, this banner, which brings hope and motivation to all, has been falsified by the Prophet himself.
That treasure is not in the hands of the orcs.
L-Stargate is indeed priceless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can completely change the fate of the human empire, but in the eyes of paranoid space marines and fanatical followers of the state religion, this outrageous lie about the life and death of the Lord of Mankind, this appalling blasphemy and betrayal, is equally unignorable and unforgivable.
The Inquisitors themselves are not a very popular group, and in times of crisis, the major factions can bow down to Bernastita's arbitrariness, after all, they really desperately need to be given the power to fight the Green Tide. But now......
The orc warlord has been decapitated, the battle moon has been broken, and some things, it's time to settle down.
However, when the archbishop was about to lead the teacher in questioning, it was Alexei who helped to play the round.
She did not want to see the expeditionary force continue its meaningless internal strife at such a time.
Although the resurrection theory of the God-Emperor is a lie, Bernatita's actions still objectively united Espernes and the people of the surrounding star sector, and the hastily assembled pilgrims resisted the onslaught of the orcs at a critical moment, minimizing the losses of the empire and saving hundreds of worlds from destruction.
And because the slogan of the Resurrection God Emperor was so loud that she actually made an almost perfect cover for the true purpose of the expedition to a certain extent, which was to obtain the L-Star Gate.
In fact, everyone here can understand this statement, they all have high positions in their respective factions, and they can learn more or less about some unknown secrets through various channels.
For example, the emperor's astonishing feat - the network plan.
If it weren't for the Resurrection God Emperor and unknowingly using such a big lie as a cover, how could they have managed to come to Falla and obtain the L-Star Gate.
Understanding is understanding, but the discourse of human empire is also about the heart.
Regardless of Bernartita's motives, whether the consequences are good or bad, a lie is always a lie.
It was only at the Prophetess's suggestion that the treatment of the radical Inquisitor was put on hold for the time being, and that she would be subjected to the harshest multi-faceted trial when all was settled, and until then there were more important matters for the higher echelons to attend to.
- L-Stargate.
When everyone attacked Bernartita, there was only one person who was not angry at all, and that was the technical sage from the Forge World Musbel.
The master foundry did not take part in the denunciation of Bernastita, and with the greatest zeal he re-read the important passages of the blueprint, before finally sobbing that it could not have been a fraud.
Thus everyone understood why the prophetess had excluded even the Great Star Whisperer and the Naval Commander from this meeting.
- This blueprint is true, the human empire has really been given a means of faster-than-light travel that does not rely on subspace at all.
As long as the next construction can be steadily advanced, soon, the evil disease that has plagued the empire for thousands of years will be completely cured, the empire will be completely rid of the unstable subspace navigation, and the position of navigator will no longer be needed, and the dependence on the star whisperer will be greatly reduced.
And the Great Star Whisperer, the commander-in-chief of the navy who is close to the Navigator family, is his strong stakeholder.
But everyone here understood that the prophetess Alexei, who produced this blueprint, was herself the chief navigator of the expeditionary fleet.
- The Navigator, a special psyker created by the Emperor of Humanity for subspace navigation.
Their duty is to observe the light of the Torch in Holy Terra in subspace, so that they can calculate their relative position and guide the route of the fleet.
The only thing a human ship can rely on is the Geller force field on board and the eyes of the navigator as it drifts adrift in the rough seas of souls.
The long-term observation of subspace has caused the navigators to suffer mentally, and there are many navigators whose bodies have mutated, and even more so who will sink in subspace, and their mental disorders will turn into distorted demons.
It is such a group of people who gaze at the light of Terra for eternity in the turbulent subspace, endure the erosion of chaos, and guide the way forward for the human empire. They are respected and noble sacrifices, and naturally deserve the honor of their sacrifice.
But in fact, the empire of human supremacy discriminates against both aliens and mutants equally.
When it comes to navigating subspace, the navigator is a great victim, a nobleman who rises high.
And once humanity can achieve faster-than-light speed in the physical universe and get rid of dependence on subspace navigation, then ...... Having lost their identity as navigators, they are just a bunch of annoying, dangerous psionic mutants.
Alexei, the chief navigator, could not have been unaware of this, but she still showed the blueprint to everyone, and even her own disciples and juniors were expelled from the conference room.
No one will fail to understand what this means.
"What a realization...... someone sighed in a low voice.
