Chapter 229: Studying the Blackstone
"I see." The Stone Man also agreed to let the army face the demons head-on.
It can directly invoke the computing power of a huge master control device like a mountain range to deduce the future, or it can go back to the past after witnessing the outcome of the situation, but even without these auxiliary means, the stone man can understand that the consequences of letting Carlos please Tzeentch are unbearable.
"The Celestial Engine doesn't need to be mixed in the ground battle, and the Tyrone Navy will be responsible for supporting the ground forces in orbit." Qin Mo was about to leave Creed's office, but he still had to arrange something before leaving.
When Qin Mo raised his hand, an image was implanted into Creed's mind.
The upcoming psionics, the command of the Tyrone Army, and the Blackstone Obelisk on Kadia, the Thirteenth Regiment of Tyrone's Professional Anti-Psyker Force, and the Soulless Praetorian Guard named Yaoen, the Psionics will suddenly appear on the Toyoko Plains, and then these psionics will unleash demons on Kadia......
The most important point is that the celestial engine goes back in time when the psionics appear and the situation is irreparable, and this cycle has lasted more than a dozen times.
Creed learned the details of each reincarnation through the images in his mind.
At this time, he realized that the metal planet floating in the universe was not only a terrifying war machine, but also had the ability to go back in time.
But Creed didn't feel too surprised, since the beginning of Trek to the Tyrone system, he has seen too many witchcraft-like technological creations so far, and he is already a little numb.
Creed then just spent a minute digesting the vast amount of information he had gotten and then preparing for the upcoming battle.
The regular forces on the Toyuco Plains were ordered to evacuate to the edge of the plains, and then the Titan Legion and the Mechano Hundred Fleets stationed outside the plains were deployed......
After a series of orders were given, Creed looked up at Qin Mo and opened his mouth to ask something, but he didn't know what to ask for a while.
There were too many questions in Creed's mind.
Why does a Psyker appear in Kadia an hour later, and how can a Psyker unleash demons...... And what about the demons?
Eventually, this series of doubts was suppressed by Creed, who realized that the most important thing at the moment was not to seek knowledge, but to fight.
"Protect yourself." Qin Mo gave one last instruction, and then disappeared in front of Creed.
Qin Mo distorted the coordinates he was in and teleported himself under a blackstone obelisk array.
This is a place similar to the general control room, and the Cadians don't even know that there is such a place under the blackstone obelisk array.
The first to come here should have been Belisarius Kaul, but since the thirteenth Black Expedition deviated from the original development trajectory, now it was only Qin Mo himself who could study these black creations.
Qin Mo was not a temporary cringer, he had a plan to study Blackstone before coming to Cadia, and during the time when Cadia was bombarded by the Chaos Fleet, he had ordered the main control intelligence to build a logistics machine for data collection.
These logistic machines are produced and automatically dropped out of the Celestial Engine once they arrive in the Kadia system.
One hundred logistical machines immediately descended on Kadia and headed for the vicinity of the Blackstone Obelisk to collect data.
To date, the logistic machines have not collected enough data, and they will need a little time.
"You can go to Mars and ask the Void Dragon about how to use Blackstone. Need me to teleport Ms. Vanessa to your location? The stone man in the celestial engine asked.
The reason why the stone man asked this was because it had a little information about Blackstone in its database, which showed that the Blackstone technology was developed by the Void Dragon, and that a fragment of the Void Dragon was being held on Mars.
If you want to get a quick overview of how to use Blackstone, the easiest and most straightforward way is to go to Mars and ask.
But the only way to go to Mars is to find someone who can speak to the upper echelons of the empire and get permission, and Vanessa is this person.
"There's not much viability." Qin Mo directly vetoed it.
In Qin Mo's opinion, the Void Dragon that had been defeated by the Emperor and imprisoned in Mars was just a fragment, and it might not even know what it was.
[Data collection progress: 90 percent.] 】
A logistics machine sent a progress message to Qin Mo.
The reason why these data-collecting logistics machines can give progress is that what they do is quantifiable in itself, not directly to study how the blackstone obelisk is used, but to detect the material composition of the blackstone obelisk, the physical properties of the blackstone, and other basic information.
While waiting, Qin Mo looked at the data that had been collected.
Blackstone is a product of the material universe, there is no doubt about it, it is a mineral in its own right.
What puzzled Qin Mo was that he couldn't directly analyze and manipulate the black stone.
Minerals such as iron and copper Qin Mo could directly sense and manipulate them, and at the same time, he could also parse the properties of these minerals, otherwise he would not have been able to rub the orbital dock by hand when he was in the bottom nest before.
The feeling that the black stone gave Qin Mo was hazy and unknown...... But this is not a big problem, as long as the black stone is not a subspace thing, it can be used, it just requires one more research step.
[Data collection is complete.] 】
[Generating Blackstone Matter Composition List...... Generating Energy Reaction List ......]
A series of information was fed into Qin Mo's brain, and he immediately began to study the way to use the black stone.
When the black stone was no longer obscure and unknown to Qin Mo, it only took less than three hours to study the way the black stone was used.
……
Northern part of the Toyoco Plain.
The Astral Army has established a defensive line.
Twenty regiments of the Qadia Assault Army and five regiments of the Modian Guards were deployed on the defensive line, and they did not need to build their own fortifications, as a large number of logistical machines were rushing to the battlefield through teleporters that had been torpedoed to Kadiya, printing them out in a way that was unbelievable to the soldiers.
There is still a plain between the northern part of the Toyoko Plain and the Mirak Ridge Fortress, and there are no topographical advantages available here.
Logistics machinery printed fortresses on flat ground that could accommodate 5,000 people, and built them every kilometer.
The gaps between every two fortresses were filled by dense bunkers, and the front of the fortifications was heavily mined and barbed wire.
The defensive lines on the four directions of the Toyoco Plains are arranged in the same way as in the north, except that the southern part of the country, where the terrain is worst, is assisted by the Titans.
The Tyrone Army does not deploy on any of the defensive lines, as Creed believes that the correct way to use the Tyrone Army, which has a teleportation advantage, is not to place it on the defensive line.
In addition to the troops already on the defensive line, there are also the Battle Nuns and Space Marines who are rushing to the defensive line, these are the reinforcements that were previously transported to Cadia by the Tyrone cargo ship.
Twenty percent of the total force is expected to be deployed in the plain.
Creed's reason why he didn't put all his troops on the plains is simple.
The psionics who delivered demons didn't have to show up on the Toyuco Plains, and if the first wave of attacks could start on the Plains, why couldn't they start directly near the Mirak Bastion or even in the center?
However, Creed decided to deploy on the Toyuko Plains instead of distributing the troops on the plains into various forts.
The reason was that in the information that Qin Mo had displayed in Creed's mind when he was leaving, the enemy had tried to release more psionics to the Toyuco Plain in every reincarnation.
There's definitely a reason for that.
