Chapter 62: A Seemingly Ordinary World of Death

The next battle meeting on what to do with the Pearl Moon Master was still taking place on the bridge of the Iron Blood.

This was not out of Perturabo's vigilance or seen as a sign of weakness on the part of Nuchairia's tyrants, but it was entirely the fact that the reception hosted by the young Dorne and the experienced Captain Watt on the Iron Blood did allow for a comfortable yet serious atmosphere.

Even after Ms. Lothara obtained more information about the Iron Blood's database (based on Ramizane's covert observations, it seems that the amount of information transmitted to her by Captain Walter was a little too large), this time she rarely shouted that the Desert Ark was the best ship in the galaxy, but came to the meeting in a white and red fox hunting suit, and anyone who saw her had to admit that her figure was suddenly well set off by the fitting cut, and the riding boots and whip also matched her temperament.

"The circumference of the equator in ancient Terra was about 24,901 miles, while the circumference of the equator here is 11,500 miles. A standard Terra year is 365 Terra days, while in Carrick, a year is even very close to 345.5 Terra days, where the length of a day is 22 standard Terra hours, and it also has a Pearl Moon, a moon of Ocean World that is larger than the Moon, and a small moon, Forpos, which has to be emphasized again in the same sub-sector as Bellakarn...... Two normal jumps away from ...... If it weren't for the fact that the average temperature was minus 2 to 4 degrees Celsius, this place would have been exactly what I wanted! What a blessing! ”

No one asked out loud at this time, "Then what is that ideal", only Angelon seemed to have a slight desire to speak and stop, but he finally seemed to think of some of his teacher's admonitions, and still held back.

"Well, compared to the atmospheric composition of ancient Terra, 78% nitrogen, less than 21% oxygen, close to 1% argon, 0.032% carbon dioxide and 0.000001% ozone - well, the atmospheric composition here is really good, 75% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, 1% ozone, 1.5% carbon dioxide ......"

A librarian who had unconsciously acted as the moderator of the meeting now sat Angron on his left, Peturabo on his right, and dozens of senior Astarte officers and naval officers in attendance, all while browsing the retina for specific data comparing his memories of general impressions with reality, and floating points of light were transmitted from his LOGOS to each participant's eyes.

"Ah, it's a little troublesome that the gravity is about 1.4 G, which is a bit strange, but at least it's not a problem at all for the Iron Warriors...... Alas, no, it's strange how this planet can have such a high gravity at its size? The equatorial radius of the Pearl Moon is even larger than that of Carrick, which is only about 1.2 G...... And, isn't that right? Proportion of ozone in the atmosphere...... That's it, but isn't the CO2 ratio a little too abnormally high? With such a high CO2 ratio, it shouldn't be so cold here. ”

Someone said quietly, "Maybe it's because Carrick had some orc remnants before the Empire discovered it, and there are still scattered orc colonies roaming its equator." - One of Carrick's key traditions each summer is to bring a heavy flamethrower to burn the clumps of mushrooms that have just grown, and if left unchecked, they will mature and develop into green-skinned orcs. ”

Some of the Battle Monks from the Twelve Legions turned their incredulous gaze to Perturabo's car, "Orc Aliens?!" How did they allow this ugly and potentially threatening green-skinned alien to remain in this place for so many years without launching an attack to completely wipe them out?! Didn't you call for support from the Astarte Warband?! This kind of appeasement and adultery has not been subjected to any additional evaluation and adjudication? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's true. Ramizane frowned as well, "Burning orc mushrooms in groups has become a kind of seasonal tradition in the local area, and it sounds like hunting season. And aren't the Inquisition and Anglican agents in the Calisis Star District very active? Well, the strangest thing is not that in this system, the two inhabited planets of Carrick and Pearl Moon combined can't make up a single astral legion to pay the tithes of the Ministry of War, but can they hold on to the orcs for so long with this kind of people, who still need to maintain their daily work and production? ”

"It's hypothermia." "Whether or not it's a plausible explanation, the Empire's research into this area has concluded that the low temperatures on the surface of Carrick have greatly reduced the activity of the orc spores here, and have slowed their growth rate to the point where there is enough time for the inhabitants to hunt for and burn the new mushroom bushes along the ponds and lakes on a seasonal basis. Oh, and," the dog made a habitual push of the mini-display on the bridge of his nose, and to the others in attendance, the Defiant fearlessly pushed the bridge of his nose like a living man.

Of course, not all fungal proliferations will be completely burned, the orcs are unusually tenacious, and some of them do eventually grow, but very little, and are said to be very poorly equipped. So it's not too difficult for the inhabitants of Carrick to gather and use the technology they have to deal with them. Anyway, there is also a settlement of the Eugliens and an orbital defense platform. ”

"Let's not talk about the slot here where the ordinary low temperature of around 0 degrees Celsius can so obviously prevent the development of orc spores...... Doesn't that really sound peaceful?! But this world is actually a barren place between the nest capital and the dead world in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' assessment star chart, so no one has come to develop this place! ”

Everyone heard a sneer with obvious sarcasm coming from the Dreadnought of the Contempt, "Yes, it's funny, yes, this is the corpse, the dead and decaying empire." ”

Angelon motioned his children to exercise some restraint with his gaze, and of course, Second Company Commander Sklar and Eighth Company Commander Endred, especially the latter, stroked the lightning eagle emblem on his chest back and forth, looking like they were looking for some large object to test the hardness of his axe.

Perturabo sneered even more visibly in his seat, "For the sake of your heir, my brother, I suggest you lock up his power armor servo firstβ€”oh, sorry, I forgot, not every primordial can operate their warriors' insurance so easily." ”

"I will not be so arrogant as to think that I can be the last lock for my brave and glorious offspring," Angron replied to his brother calmly, "for they themselves are their last line of defense, and if I fall, they will build an impenetrable wall with every heart." ”

There must have been some kind of disdainful sneer, but there must have also been a sound of approval.

During this time, Lamizan's brain worked with extraordinary efficiency in the blink of an eye, comparing the data with more detailed information that had never been accessed before.

"I've made a list that has been sent to your receiver about all sorts of oddities about Carrick. I think I also have some ideas about how to get in and get in touch with the Carrick government. ”
