Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 295 Moving forward around the star ring
Enwei IV is an ancient giant star. Its body is almost gaseous, but the high-pressure interior has quite good gravity. However, this is not within the gravity range of stars. It is a free child, and it is with its brothers. The sisters are separated. If hundreds of millions of years pass, it may become a star and then give birth to a new star system, but it has nothing to do with the empire, and it has nothing to do with Alan Bair.

The imperial lords only knew that looking out from the battleship window, this pale blue spiral planet looked extremely beautiful under the weak light of the star, and its appearance appeared peaceful and as quiet as a virgin. However, it would never become human after leaving the star. Home, at most, is used for mining, but even so, it maintains a terrifying speed of about [-] kilometers per hour, moving forward with the inertia of when it is separated from its stellar mother.

No one knows where it will go. Even at such a high speed, it has been observed by the Empire and is now moving forward on a line for hundreds of years. Therefore, its front is full of craters, all of which are craters caused by the impact of asteroids and gravel. Hole.

Its satellites, or a large pile of debris-like rocks, are each the size of an asteroid fortress. Although they are not densely packed, they are still moving forward at a terrifying speed, forming an extremely fast ring, an oval ring. , and then stabilize at a particular speed.

Bordreau will soon join in the dance. They need to physically reach the limit of the sublight speed engine during this time, and then rely on the inertia of the planet's gravity to throw themselves out. According to calculations, they need to circle the world three times. , after reaching the maximum speed, use the maximum output to break through the fatal gravitational zone, and rely on that energy to achieve a balance between speed and fuel consumption.

This is a rare heroic move in the history of the empire, relying on a huge celestial body to complete an unprecedented interstellar extreme movement. However, the Thinker Array has given a feasible answer. Without the ability to travel through subspace, it wants to complete the expected task. Strategic deployment requires such madness.

Even if inertia can't help them reach their destination, the lords' territories along the way can also help, so as long as they fly out normally, the worst won't be too bad.

Thinking of this, there is a kind of excitement permeating the ship. If such a tactic succeeds, it will leave a very important tactic of short-distance support in the history of the empire. Even if a giant planet is moving forward rapidly, there are very few wandering giant planets in the universe. , because being locked to a star is more of a situation for them.

But even so, he can be recorded in history, so why not be excited?At the end of the 1 years of human civilization, there are not many achievements that can be recorded. Even if history has lost a lot, it has already been 1 years. How many capable people have completed many miracles and achievements in the past [-] years?
The shortest path to success and being recorded is just around the corner, as long as you leap over the small star ring, you can add a lot of color to the experience of Bordereau's miracle.

It is not difficult for the empire's powerful warships to circle the star belt. The thick adamantium can completely ignore a large number of celestial threats, unless its mass and speed far exceed the level of the warships. But even so, the cogitator array and diviner, composed of navigators The information delta can also satisfy the reconnaissance of Imperial warships, so it can avoid foreign objects at countless times beyond the visual distance.

What's more, the crew members of the Bordeaux ship are all the best of the best. They are not afraid of the so-called extreme stars. On the contrary, this world that wanders and passes the empire's borders and is crucial to strategy is even rarer. The empire is cruel. A pragmatic society, so no one wastes precious fuel and materials on creating miracles.

Therefore, the empire is an old, corrupt empire that does not move forward or take risks, rather than a sufficiently dynamic world. However, this does not mean that people do not like extreme sports. It is just that the scale can no longer reach a large enough scale. At most It's the extreme behavior of a madman.

Therefore, for the members of the Bordero, this operation was a special extreme operation at the right time and place.

The people inside the battleship were happy and talking about it. They wanted to create the few recorded and necessary miracles of the empire in this beautiful world. This society is so contradictory. They both worship great sacrifices and wars and extremely promote practicality. Doctrine, at the same time, they continue to squander the empire's countless resources in the cosmic sea of ​​​​stars.

But at this moment, it is meaningful. When the captain looked at the huge world on the bridge, his heart was full of expectation, and his breathing became long, like the last sigh after sex. He was one of the few in the empire. Adventure seekers, so look forward to it. "Wonderful, three times around such a beautiful world, it's a wanderer, like me."

His poetry was quickly interrupted, and Alan Bayer looked at the world with a little interest. "It's so beautiful. I wonder how much promethium gold can be dug out. In the empire's long war history, maybe there is a way to build such a wandering fortress."

The captain scolded a little angrily. "Do you have to involve everything in the war?"

"But we are in the middle of a war. Whether you like it or not, even our jump this time is for the sake of war." Alan Beyer emphasized this point and tore the few poetic words into powder, which made people feel heartbroken. , but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in Bordeleau, which is something that many people who still have dreams love to do throughout their lives.

After all, dancing with such a celestial body can be said to be one of the few romances in the empire's brutal war history.

And you have to enjoy this kind of romance by yourself. This is the overall feeling of Bordeaux, and why they are so happy. Those mixed emotions finally broke out today.

With the cooperation of many people, Bordeaux's huge hull completed a beautiful turn with flexibility beyond its huge body, cutting into the star ring where many objects were slowly flowing. The gravity here carried waves. Dedro slowly accelerated, feeling like he was sitting on an elevator.

This feeling is not bad. It feels like my body is being slowly pulled, and my soul is out of body. However, this feeling is adjusted to the level of the human body by the meditator array under the gravity witchcraft of the Mechanicus. Although it is always a little different, after all, according to the According to the captain, they accelerated to a full eighty kilometers per hour in just a few minutes. You must know that this is the extra acceleration of a huge metal dragon while sailing.

Normally, each kilometer requires the Empire to exert a terrible fuel consumption dozens of times more than usual. Therefore, advancing at full speed is regarded as a tactical action, rather than every regular state. It will cause the nuclear reactors of the Imperial warships to need to be cooled. Fuel can also be overused.

But compared to those complicated calculations or adjustments, what makes people's minds more relaxed are the small meteors that are caught by the gravity of the planet. They may be the size of a battleship, but because of the distance, they seem to fly one by one and carry them with them. The arrows with residual shadows turned into dense light and shadow like raindrops over a huge distance that was almost calculated as a thousand kilometers.

But the reality is that the gap between them is very large and can accommodate many battleships, many, many.

This is the edge of the star system closest to the Wandering Port. The light has become cold, but it still exists. Those lights show the wonders in front of mankind, like a reward given by the Emperor to the brave ones among his descendants. However, any recording equipment of the Empire today cannot It is impossible to fully record this scenery, and it is somewhat incomparable to being there.

Therefore, Miss Nova wrote hard, hoping that her words could announce to the sentient beings of the Empire a trace of the beauty here, because its light blue and white planet shines under the light of the stars, carrying thousands of beautiful shooting stars and advancing together with the Imperial battleships. There are so many looks that are shocking.However, unlike Bordeaux's laughter and curses when she entered, her crew entered combat mode at extremely fast speeds. The navigator reported any possible collision in precise words, and the captain took his sailors to prepare for Bordeaux. Dro maintains precision and extreme capabilities, and can rely on the strong gravity of this rogue planet and its forward wandering inertia. This inertia can accelerate the planet forward, and will not be sucked into the gravitational range, resulting in deceleration and inability to escape. precise.

It is equivalent to accurately pulling out a hair from a lion, but even this only proves that humans can survive in the void, rather than conquering the universe.

This extremely huge world is cruel and beautiful, heroic and lonely. Human beings are too small and too weak. The inertia of this planet's progress may only be equivalent to that of human beings walking, but for this most cutting-edge battleship of human civilization, it is simply indescribable. huge energy.

Everyone held their breath. In just one hour, Alan Bayer felt about two clear accelerations, orbiting in the oval star ring. Every time the battleship passed through a bend, it would be gravitational and Moving forward with inertia feels more like a sling than a slingshot, except that the sling will never be launched, but will circle the void at a fairly average speed.

The last time passed little by little. Such high pressure needs to be maintained at an estimated 14 standard Terra hours to ensure that the warship reaches the accurate speed. However, the concept is that Bordeaux has always maintained the most accurate gravitational outer ring range and can be thrown out anytime and anywhere. Go and accelerate steadily.

Don’t forget the entire gravity because the planet is not a good circle moving forward. Although it is originally elliptical, it becomes more elliptical during acceleration. Each circle and each section needs to change accurately with each acceleration, almost It was killing everyone's brain cells. With this, they had the luxury of preparing 10 navigators, all of whom were experienced veterans. Even so, they could not last for an hour on average.

Rotation cannot make up for the spiritual energy consumption in a short time. It can remain stable at the beginning. But as time goes by, the faster the speed, the more tired the crew becomes. This matter becomes more and more extreme, but they can't do it if the speed is not enough. If you leave the star ring without slowing down, if you move too fast and cannot move forward accurately, a slight deviation in the universe will cause the destination to be thousands of miles away.

And at the 10th hour, the captain's tired expression suddenly disappeared because he shouted. "Is it a shooting star?"

This sentence makes people subconsciously look at the window that has been ignored for a long time. It is a small stone that has almost stopped. It has stopped, and those meteors have stopped.

They reached their ultimate speed in the 10th hour. Although the navigator was exhausted, the third eye on his forehead was constantly leaking thick and strange viscous body fluids, and there was not much psychic energy left, but this news meant that they could use Better state impact, leaving the gravity of the star.

"We are shoulder to shoulder with the stars!" a crew member couldn't help shouting, and several servants were helping the hard-working navigator to leave the complicated and perverted pipes and instruments and replace them with the most sophisticated and experienced ones they had found. When the old man came up, he was the most calm and leisurely when he came down, and he was also the most powerful one.

At this moment, even psykers will be respected by people. Alan Bair resisted the urge to ask the astropath for divination once, and made an exception to this old navigator, the man who has crossed tens of thousands of subspaces and extreme void environments for mankind. salute.

The psyker, who had been hated all his life, was stunned for a moment. His psionic power could sense the opponent's mentality, even if it was only a little bit, because he was not proficient in this.

Finally, he sat on the throne that was connected to complicated sensors by twisted pipes. The helmet was embedded with connectors in his spine, making him and Bordeaux one.

Accurate data began to dance joyfully among the ship's brooders, the captain shouted at once. "After [-] kilometers, disengage. Get the engine ready. The angle cannot be deviated. We need to make Bordeaux swing as dexterously as a limb!"

Three thousand kilometers sounds a lot and far away, but Enwei [-] is much larger than the earth. For it, three thousand kilometers is only one thousandth of its body. For the void, it is not worth mentioning, but it is the Imperial Guard. of all.

Acceleration, deceleration, angle, everyone is focused, stimulants and coffee are in short supply, because even if they die from heart problems after this operation, they can still shout to other heroes of the Imperial Navy from the Golden Throne that they are in the void Flying close to the speed of light.

And this is a short-term miracle, shorter than most people imagine, less than 10 seconds, aiming, breaking through, Bordeaux breaks through the ocean like a dragon, wearing an illusory coat, breaking away from the gravity of the planet, Leaving the complicated meteor group, he moved towards the farthest place in the void without saying a word.

Everyone is exhausted, the captain asked after all the wisdom. "How much is the deviation?"

"Captain, the navigator didn't reply and couldn't get the information..." After this sentence, people couldn't help but worry, but things were just as everyone thought. The old man died of old age due to poor health and high-intensity spiritual energy consumption. As if falling asleep, the servant took his seat and led the robed hero down. The information would be accurate when the new navigator took his seat.

"The report is completely error-free. We are moving forward at an unprecedented speed!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including the Imperial Guard who seemed unable to work hard. When this behemoth flew into the void, the light blue planet looked at her in the distance, as if this lonely traveler was saying thank you to the Bordeaux. , thanking her for accompanying him on his journey, even though it only lasted a few milliseconds to him.

But now they are the same, no, they have always been the same, they are travelers drifting in the void towards the small goal in the infinite universe.
