440 The second man on the throne
After killing the Czech Emperor Fanis of the Jeromiste dynasty, Russell unlocked the seal imposed on the Ruler by the Necrons of space.
The Ruler is a very special star god who is in a different situation than any other star god, specifically, when Russell broke the seal and took him in the palm of his hand, he actually begged for mercy.
"It's strange, doesn't it mean that the Star God Fragment doesn't have complete consciousness and thinking ability, only an impulsive instinct similar to that of a beast." Grey Wind wondered.
"It's true that there are no Star God Shards, but the Complete Ruler Zahurash still has the ability to think and communicate." Russell ignored Zahurash's pleas for mercy, and chains that flashed with blue-purple arcs pulled his shattered god captivity toward the starship above the wreckage.
Gray Wind put her hands behind her back and jumped up and down beside Russell, she thought for a while, and seemed to understand what Russell meant: "You mean, what is begging us for mercy now is not the fragment that was split from the Ruler in front of us, but the complete Ruler before it was broken?" β
Russell nodded: "Yes, this is the time authority of the Star God Ruler, for Zahurash, as long as he has been rational for even a second, then he can extend and freeze this second of reason...... He could have been so sane forever. β
The King of Mechanics can pull the ship built tomorrow to today, and it is not difficult for Zahurash to keep his consciousness in a state of sanity for a complete period even when his divine body is broken.
While Russell and Greywind were transporting the fragments of Zahurash to the flagship, an archaeological team composed of psionic and mechanical personnel was busy archaeological exploration of the wreckage of the Crown World, and several researchers gathered around the metal corpse of the French Emperor Fanis, and worked on the giant instrument it used to format the star god.
"Many of these scholars are students led by Gustav, and they are very interested in the technical field of space necromancy, although they can't do the blackstone creation of NTR necromancy like their own teacher, but it is not difficult to hack into the crypt data center and copy some key data." Grey Wind said happily.
In the ruins of the extinct Jeromiste dynasty, the most valuable data is undoubtedly the Ascension Protocol, which was recompiled by the Czech Emperor Fanis.
"We happened to be stuck in the short period of time when it had finished compiling the Ascension protocol, but had not yet officially started running the protocol for Ascension." Gray Wind said, packaging and compressing a huge file, and backing it up to his mothership body hub far away in Falla through the quantum tunneling network:
"We've got a copy of the Ascension Protocol, my dear."
"Hmm." Russell answered softly, and boarded the starship with the fragments of the Dominator.
Grey Wind followed him with quick steps, and continued in a rambling voice, "It would be nice if Gustav was here, he was an expert in the field of necromantic technology, and if it was him, he would surely be able to dig up more valuable information from this ruin." β
It's a pity that Gustav is still imprisoned by the Whisperer, and Luojia takes him all over the galaxy and runs around preaching.
"I have time to snatch him back from Luojia's hands." Russell shook his head and made his way to the top bridge of the starship, where stood a large religious building, where the Time Priests of the Order of Truth usually worshipped the Worm of Time, the official scientific name of the building was the 'Omega Harmonic Device', and the people of the Federation preferred to call it the Ring Temple.
Although Russell didn't think that the worms of time would eat sacrifices such as lifespan and souls......
Russell tossed the Ruler bound by psionic chains into the Circle Temple, shouting, 'It's time to eat!' βγ
Then Zahurash's divine body vanished silently, as if he had never existedβnot even in Russell's memory.
If it weren't for an illusory and contented sigh coming from the empty temple, Russell would have wondered if he had even entered the temple door empty-handed on the starship all the way.
"Feeding the Worm of Time, we shouldn't have to worry about Falla's safety for the time being." Grey Wind pressed his face against Russell's shoulder.
The next step is to return home.
Russell sat back on the mechanical throne, the psionic jump engine began to charge, and the archaeological team and resource recovery team on the ground also returned to the cabin one after another, everything went in an orderly manner without the slightest deviation, but only Russell himself, who was sitting on the throne to power the entire fleet, suddenly felt something inexplicably weird.
Grey Wind checked all the power transmission cables and quickly found the source of this weirdness: "Pipe B7 has an abnormal energy output, and this line is pumping your psionic energy at 13 times the usual demand. β
The design of the motor ships represented by the 'Breaking Edge' battlecruiser was personally involved in the design of Gray Wind, and she knew the number and power of psionic facilities mounted throughout the hull, and Russell's strange feeling was the result of his psionic energy being over-squeezed by the B7 energy transmission line.
Gray Wind rushed to the cabin of the B7 area with a questioning attitude, and came to the abnormal point of energy consumption.
Just as she was about to ask the psionic monk in charge of the area what had happened, she saw the large unplanned machine.
The Lens VII Psionic Telescope is a large astronomical telescope developed by the Department of Psionic Energy and currently in the testing stage.
As far as Grey Wind knows, the [Lens] Spirit Wave Telescope is a crystallized bone facility powered by psionic energy, which can be regarded as an enhanced pendant for the 'Navigator''s vision, and its main and only purpose is to detect the sea conditions of the Sea of Souls and spy on the intelligence information of the subspace.
The Sentinel Array's monitoring of the physical universe has been perfected, but the Truth Order still lacks effective means to monitor the waves under the veil, so the [Lens] type spiritual wave telescope that carries many expectations came into being.
As for such an important facility that can be said to be just needed, it has not been officially put into production until the VII generation, and it is still in the testing stage, and the reason is very simple.
"First, the current subspace is still shrouded in the super-giant storm set off by Nurgle's death, and the sea conditions of the Sea of Souls are extremely poor, and if you want to shield these interferences for effective observation, the energy consumption of the Lingbo Telescope will be extremely huge."
That is, it consumes a lot of psionic dust.
"Second, there are a large number of malicious subspace entities active in the subspace, and it is extremely dangerous for the navigator to peep into the subspace itself, and the increase in spiritual vision brought by the spiritual wave telescope further contributes to this shortcoming, so when the psionic people use the [lens] type spiritual wave astronomical telescope to conduct a remote view of the subspace, in order to prevent the demon's upper body and chaotic pollution, they need to spend a lot of spiritual energy to keep the pure spiritual field open to protect themselves."
That is, it needs to consume more psionic dust.
The two disadvantages are actually one disadvantage, the power consumption is too high, and the cost is too high. No matter how rich the family of the Truth Order is, it can't withstand the burning of dozens or hundreds of Lingbo astronomical telescopes, otherwise the psionic department, which has been chattering, would not have put down its body and ran to the battlefield to grab arms orders with the mechanical department.
I'm really short of money......
Several trainee monks in Area B7 truthfully confessed to Gray Wind the reason for the abnormal energy output power: "Because of the high power consumption, every test of the Lingbo Telescope consumes a lot of resources, and we don't usually have the opportunity to conduct frequent experiments. There is a lack of sufficient experimental data to support it, and the research progress of related theories is also very slow. β
"Now that the leader has personally sat on the mechanical throne to power the starship, the psionic power output by his body per second is far higher than the total power consumption of the entire fleet, and we lack the means to crystallize and store the psionic energy, so the overflowing energy can only be wasted......"
The white-clothed monk said with a look of shame, "We wanted to use this part of the spilled energy to conduct one or two tests for the Lingbo Telescope and obtain some experimental data, so that our thesis for further education after returning to Falla will be settled...... But I didn't expect ......"
Gray Wind furrowed his eyebrows: "But I didn't expect the output power of the Lingbo Telescope to be much higher than you expected, right?" You're squeezing so hard that even the marshal feels something unusual. β
"No, it's not." The trainee monk shook his head repeatedly: "We have strict control of the output power, leaving enough redundant power consumption, and it is completely impossible to overload if you only run one telescope!" However, what we didn't expect was ......"
"What didn't you expect?"
"We didn't expect it, and so did everyone else......"
"Ah, this." Gray Wind blinked, thinking that it was good that the dear blood bar was thick, otherwise it would have been squeezed dry by you, and then I would have to change my body.
After Gray Wind told Russell what happened, although the incident itself did not have any impact on Russell, he still strictly followed the rules and regulations to give a unified punishment to more than a dozen people who violated the rules.
For the trainee ascetics of the Psionic Ministry, this was a cruel punishment even worse than killing them.
In addition to the punishment, Russell also became interested in this large telescope, which was still in the testing stage, and he came to the telescope, gathered his gaze into [Lens VII.], and set his eyes on the starry sky in the south.
"Over there...... It's the direction of the Sun Field. Grey Wind said with a lip on his lips.
"Well, I'd like to see how Terra is doing now." Russell said while adjusting the focus of the lens: "After Killeman ascends to the throne, the Terra government is bound to undergo major changes, and this kind of social event involving a large number of people will directly reflect and affect the subspace. β
As he spoke, Russell gradually cast the perspective of the Lingbo Telescope away from the hazy star field, sweeping the northern part of the solar star field......
"Well, I've seen a massive psionic storm that seems to be a plethora of greenskins clustered around the Armageddon galaxy, mighty waaagh!! The force fields converged with each other, and they had merged into a powerful force that could not be ignored, and even began to distort the reality of the universe centered on Armageddon. β
The battle for the Great Khan has begun, and on the battlefield of Armageddon, whoever can win the throne of the Khan will be the co-ruler of all the greenskins in the galaxy in the future.
"Central of the Solar Field...... Well, the light of the star torch in the direction of Terra is a bit dazzling, it seems that the emperor's body is very good, but the golden light of the star torch is a little green. β
Russell whispered to himself, fine-tuning the angle of the Lingbo telescope little by little, slowly moving from the golden torch to the Terra Palace, and the star-playing star's gaze fell on the Golden Throne, the supreme holy place of the Human Empire.
Immediately afterward, the star bomber shouted a.
"it." Russell's eyes widened: "Why are there two people sitting on the Golden Throne?" β
