Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 457 The Coronation
Graf Houtman solar brine converter.

Essentially using solar energy to split water into hydrogen, the device itself only acts as a catalyst.If the vehicle is in a world of eternal night with no sunlight at all, then this device will not work.

But on the other hand, it must also be considered that if a planet does not even have sunlight, then the strategic value of this planet is usually not too high, and the human empire probably will not invest too many ground troops on this planet.

So from this point of view, the potential is indeed great.

Phaeton Foundry World has another blockbuster product!
"Tentative name: MK1 Phaeton Adaptive Solar Liquid Hydrogen Injected Brine Converter Reactor Engine. It may also be referred to as: MK1 Phaeton Power Engine."

Fu Qinghai made a final decision.

Provide different engine standards according to different tank models, light tanks, main battle tanks, heavy tanks, super heavy tanks, corresponding to MK1, MK2, MK3...

"As you wish."

Master Buck said.

Just confirmed a new product.

Another bunch of things came to the door.

……

Fu Qinghai just walked out of the laboratory.

Steward Xia... Attendant Lin Yu greeted him.

"Khan, the joint bidding for the warband's gunboat has ended. The Forge World of Tigress and the Forge World of Anvilus IX finally won the bid at a lower price. The trade representatives of the two Forge Worlds are waiting for you outside."

"Just go and receive it for me."

Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said casually.

You don't have to come out in person for this kind of thing.

Counting the seized gene seeds and recruits who are undergoing training, the Iron Buddha battle group currently has [-] companies, but the entire battle group only has six Thunderhawk gunboats, and the delivery power is seriously insufficient. Now the Phaeton Forge World is rich and rich , Fu Qinghai decided to buy ready-made ones directly.

Gunboats are different from tanks. Under the current combat mode of the Astartes Chapter, there are not many scenarios where tanks are used, but gunboats are used very frequently.Tanks can come slowly, but gunboats must not wait. This is directly related to the company's comprehensive combat capability.Moreover, the Chapter currently has a mixed armored brigade and two types of tanks are waiting to be put into production.

Fu Qinghai got the STC of the Star Warrior landing craft, but unfortunately it was a gunship specially used to transport armored vehicles, it could not directly carry the Star Warriors, and the firepower was not enough, so it could only be handed over to the [-]th Company's first boarding brigade.

There are many gunships in the Astartes vehicle sequence: Storm Bird, Storm Eagle, Storm Crow, Storm Falcon, Storm Claw... But Fu Qinghai only chose the Thunderhawk gunboat and the Flame Raptor gunboat.One focuses on transportation and delivery, the other focuses on ground support, and is responsible for licking the ground with firepower. The Flame Raptor is a special gunboat that sacrifices carrying space to strengthen ground firepower.As for why these two gunships were chosen, the reason is very simple:
The former Thunderhawk gunship is the most versatile, and it can be manufactured in many foundry worlds, so more people can participate in the bidding, which is conducive to lowering the price.As for the latter, the Flame Raptor gunship has a record of "nearly killing two Corrupted Primarchs" in the novel. Although other ground attack gunships are not bad, the Flame Raptor gunship is more famous, so it was finally chosen.

Fu Qinghai ordered the Iron Buddha battle group to carry out centralized procurement according to the plan of a company equipped with three Thunderhawk gunboats and one Flame Raptor gunboat.For the future thirteen companies, excluding three cavalry companies, one tank company and one flying company, a total of eighteen Thunderhawks and eight Flame Raptors will be needed.The price of a gunboat is already very expensive, not to mention that there are a total of 26 ships!This is definitely a sky-high military purchase order.

After the Star Language message was sent out, many foundry worlds capable of producing gunships came to hear the news, including Mars, of course, but Mars' asking price was too high and thus did not win the bid. The last two foundry worlds from the Storm Star Region lowered the unit price and successfully won the bid. Won this large military purchase order.

……

Just as Fu Qinghai sent his attendants to deal with these social events, a technical priest came over again:
"Khan, the Draconis family asks to see you."

"What are these widows and orphans going to do?"

Fu Qinghai said to himself.

There are not many males in this knight family, only a group of family members left, and the males are basically minors. The so-called knight family has long existed in name only.Phaeton Foundry World is willing to accept them, one is Zofia's reason, and the other is coveted knight manufacturing technology - the Draconis family is one of the few knight families who have mastered complete knight manufacturing technology, and they dared to break away from the Mechanicus. Where is the confidence.

There are two main sources of population in Phaeton Foundry World. One is the forced migration from the Hive World of Schwerin, and the other is the synthetic humans in the mechanical test tubes of Master Kunto's cloning factory. The two have now been mixed together, and their appearance characteristics have begun to be obvious. Adapt to the Phaeton's special geographical environment - pale skin, large pupils.This is the performance of long-term lack of ultraviolet radiation.All this shows that this is not a comfortable place to live.

Compared with the Orestes Knight World, the former territory of the Draconis Family, where the sun is bright and the climate is comfortable, the Phaeton Forge World is indeed not a livable place. Considering this, Fu Qinghai specially placed the Knight Family in a special urban area. Living there, where the crust is thinner, several giant light wells can be built through the surface, allowing the natural sunlight on the surface to enter the underground world through a series of refraction and reflection to provide illumination.

Aoyama Khan is really heart-warming.

Follow the Tech Priest to this city.

Enter a magnificent Gothic palace.

After entering the hall, Fu Qinghai found that everyone was there.Zofia, Janiko, and a group of female family members of the knight family, the elderly woman held a sleeping baby in her arms, and the younger woman held an ignorant child in her hands.They were all standing together now, awaiting the arrival of the Chapter Master.

Fu Qinghai cast a questioning look at Zofia.

Zofia returned a sweet smile.

Shouldn't be a bad thing...

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"Khan."

The old woman at the head bowed down to salute.

"Hello, ma'am."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly and said calmly.

The Chief Relic Keeper of the Draconis family stood next to the old woman, holding a small metal box in his muscular and metal claws, and several silver mechanical appendages slid to open the box on both sides of his body , and took out a ring made of emerald, agate, and gold.

Madam Janiko stood aside with a smile on her face, took the crown from the mechanical tentacles, walked lightly to the Chapter Leader, knelt down on one knee and reverently raised the metal ring.

"This is?"

Fu Qinghai looked puzzled.

"salute!"

exclaimed Mrs. Janeko,

Her sonorous voice resounded throughout the hall.

"To the great Green Mountain Khan, Son of the Storm, Tiger of the Iron Belt, Chapter Master of the Iron Buddha, Master of the Phaeton Forge World, Protector of the Marquez King Star District, and Lord of the Orestes Knight World Savior, kneel down and salute!"

"Crash..."

The whole hall suddenly knelt down.

All the female family members of the knight family, whether they were holding the baby or leading the child, including the group of sacred relic guards behind them, bowed their heads and knelt on one knee at this moment.

"Long live Qingshan Khan!"

exclaimed Madame Janico.

Then he stuffed the ring into Fu Qinghai's hand.

"Here……"

Fu Qinghai looked down at the crown in his hand.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"Khan."

At this time, the old woman who was the leader said loudly:
"Khan, please allow us to swear allegiance to you. From now on, the Draconis family will always be the vassal knight family of the Iron Buddha Chapter. Our family will be loyal to you and your successors from generation to generation. By."

A family of knights.

Declaring allegiance to an Astartes Chapter?
It sounds very unbelievable, but it seems to be no problem if you think about it carefully-the knight family can either be loyal to a certain forge world or directly allegiance to Holy Terra, and the Draconis family can choose to be loyal to the Phaeton Forge World and the Havoc Titan Legion.But after coming to Phaeton for so long, they have long understood that this forging world belongs entirely to Qingshan Khan.

So why bother?
Simply bypass the Titan Legion and directly serve the Khan.

Fu Qinghai held up the crown in his palm.

Look down at this exquisite ring.

I thought to myself that you nobles are having fun, or that you guys know more about the sense of ritual and atmosphere. I think I, Qingshan Khan, can be considered well-informed and have experienced big winds and waves, but suddenly I was messed up like this, and I actually have a feeling in my heart. A little excited?
The entire hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Even breathing was deliberately suppressed.

After thinking about it, Fu Qinghai had already made a decision in his heart - he didn't wear the crown on top of his head, because it was a mortal-sized crown, and it would look a little ridiculous to wear it on his head.Just gauntlets lightly gripping the edges.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and said seriously:

"I accept your allegiance."

"Huh...Long live Khan!"

The tense people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they stood up, hugged and cheered loudly.

Fu Qinghai smiled calmly and said:

"I solemnly promise you that without waiting too long, the Draconis family can once again set foot on the mechanical throne and drive the knight mecha again, galloping on the battlefield of the empire. But... it will be in another form."

"What form, Khan?"

asked the old woman at the head.

There was a smile on the corner of Fu Qinghai's mouth:
"The form of a space warrior."

……

Fu Qinghai walked on the road leading to the space port, accompanied by four Iron Buddha Terminator escorts.

He kept playing with this exquisite crown in his hand. It was neither psionic equipment nor relic technology, but simply a precious item with symbolic significance, symbolizing the supreme authority and allegiance object of a loyal knight family.

Originally, the crown was supposed to belong to Janiko Tan Draconics, the new patriarch of the family.But the chief knight knew that according to the current situation: the entire army of knight mechs was annihilated, all adult men were killed in battle, and the family members were dependent on others.I have been unable to lead the family to revival, so I came up with a plan - simply declare allegiance to Qingshan Khan, let him lead the knight family to revival.

It would be a good idea.

But what she didn't know was.

Aoyama Khan is a Grand Astartes.

In his plan, even the Titan Legion is piloted by space fighters, let alone knights?As a reward for loyalty, the noble status and transcendent treatment of the Draconis family can still be retained in the future forge world, just like the hive world also retains the noble status and transcendent treatment of the Sommerfeld family , a truth.

but!In the future, there will be no more knight families in the Phaeton Forge World. The knight families provide a group of males every year. After leaving their offspring, they will participate in the selection of space warriors. They must first become space warriors, and then they can become knight pilots.

So, in the history of the human empire, is there any precedent for space warriors driving knight mechas?

Don't say it, there really is.

Heaven's Punishment Dread Knight Mecha.

In the process of killing warp demons, the Gray Knights often face an ultimate demon-the Chaos Demon.Whether it is Khorne's bloodthirsty madman, Tzeentch's master of change, Nurgle's great unclean man or Slaanesh's great keeper of secrets, his body size is between a knight mech and a warhound titan. Between them, far more than the Dreadnought Mecha.Therefore, the Gray Knights need a special equipment that can increase the height, weight, strength and psionic power enough to rival the Chaos Demon.

The Heaven's Punishment Fear Knight came into being.

It is unknown to the outside world whether the Heaven's Punishment Dread Knight Mecha belongs to the relic technology left over from the dark age of technology or the alien technology from an unknown alien race, but this case at least illustrates that the Star Warrior can drive the Knight Mecha.Your Gray Knights battle group has knight mechas, why can't my Iron Buddha battle group have knight mechas?

Knight Mecha is one aspect.

The question of aristocracy is another.

The Sommerfeld family in the hive world and the Draconis family in the foundry world are all loyal to Qingshan Khan, but they are all landlords.

Based on the historical views and values ​​formed since childhood, Fu Qinghai personally doesn't like their class position very much. In his ideal society, there is no such thing as "nobility".

The reason why Fu Qinghai decided to retain the status and treatment of the traditional nobles of these knight worlds and hive worlds was not entirely to reward their loyalty.For example, Severus Agman, the first company commander of the later Ultramarines, Cato Sicarius, the second company commander, and Mikael Fabian, the third company commander, are all Ultramar Noble birth.

The five hundred worlds have been ruled by the Ultramarines for a long time, and a traditional concept has been formed: many nobles are proud that their family heirs can join the Ultramarines.They will start to cultivate their physique, knowledge and martial arts when the children of the family are very young, making it easier for them to pass the selection and examination of extreme fighters than the children of ordinary people.

For Fu Qinghai, this kind of behavior is naturally welcome. The formation of a ruling class is always inevitable. What kind of regime does not have a ruling class?How to prevent the ruling class from rapidly degenerating is the key.Like the five hundred worlds of Ultramar, the noble families generally maintain a positive and martial spirit, which is much better than many noble families in the hive world who lie on hereditary power and quickly become corrupt.

Even the major families in the hive world of Necromunda know that they need to train their family members through "lord hunting" to prevent them from turning into a bunch of waste and waiting to die. Isn't warband better?The Necromunda hive world is one of the two conscript worlds of the Imperial Fist, but it is a pity that the cubs of Rogg Dorn are not as capable of governing and governing as the cubs of Robert Guilliman.

Think all the way, go all the way.

Fu Qinghai strolled to the space port.

Toss this exquisite crown up and down in your hand.

What I was thinking was: Tonight, I want Zofia to wear this crown and kneel with her ass up...

"Khan, the First Company Commander is looking for you."

The Space Marine's words interrupted his thoughts.

Fu Qinghai turned his head: "What's the matter?"

"About the new fighting training content."

The Space Marine explained:

"According to your request, the KWOON training system must be added to the daily training of space fighters, but the first company commander thinks that he does not fully understand this mecha combat technique, so I would like to invite you to teach it in person."

Qiao Shida is not only the first company commander, but also the chief drill instructor of the Iron Buddha regiment.Although the five Titans are still in the construction stage, Fu Qinghai has already started the training system of the Air Martial Arts Hall to reserve Titan driving crew members in advance.There is only one problem at the moment: only Fu Qinghai and Zofia in the entire battle group have the experience of driving Titans.

So Old Joe didn't know how to teach.

Khan-class Titans focus on agile melee combat.

Titan fighting is not the same as human fighting.

What fighting moves a human can make depends on the body structure of a human. Similarly, what fighting moves a titan can make also depends on the body structure of a titan.

"Okay, I see."

Fu Qinghai took a deep breath and nodded:

"Let Xiao Fei organize a wave of screening first, arrange for all fighters in the battle group to enter the simulated Pons bridge device and the simulated spiritual pulse unit, first screen out those fighters who react too strongly, and then I will teach in person."

"Yes, Khan."

…………

End of a day of training and teaching.

Fu Qinghai stretched his waist and returned to the captain's room.

As soon as the hatch door slid open, a burst of laughter came from inside. Fu Qinghai walked into the captain's cabin and took a look: the astropath, the navigator, and the rogue trader, all three women were in his captain's cabin. , sitting in the sofa area, eating fruit and chatting, covering his mouth and chuckling from time to time.

See Fu Qinghai come in.

Yolanda Atela quickly smoothed her skirt and got up:

"Khan."

He still looked a little nervous.

The astropath and navigator Shi Shiran stood up and saluted.

His relaxed demeanor was not as restrained as that of the Rogue Trader.

"Uh, what's the matter?"

Fu Qinghai asked curiously.

"Ah, that's right, Khan. You told us to gather the battleship crews needed for the six cruisers. We have been recruiting extensively in the Five Hundred Worlds and the Sun Star Field. Up to now, all the 19 contracted sailors have been recruited. When you arrive at the Phaeton Forging World, you can join the army immediately."

Yolanda first reported the work results.

"Oh, very good, very good."

Fu Qinghai nodded repeatedly.

Rogue Traders are very efficient at work, and they have gathered 19 qualified crew members in a short period of time, which is not a trivial matter.Although the number of crew members required by the Astartes fleet is not as exaggerated as that of the Imperial Navy, such a large number of crew members is also difficult to recruit.Rogue Traders generally poach people directly from the naval fleet and hire experienced sailors with high salaries, because the Rogue Trader fleet often pays higher salaries, and naval crew members are usually happy to join the Rogue Trader fleet.

The famous "Weekly Article" has an issue describing how the Imperial Navy warned grassroots sailors, telling them that the so-called high salaries and safety of the rogues are fake, don't be deceived by them, and staying honestly in the navy is the right way.

And actually.

Security is fake but high pay is real.

"Then what is the reward I need to pay?"

Fu Qinghai asked immediately.

"No, you don't need to pay anything. You sold the four escort warships to us in a package, which is more than enough to offset the price of 19 contracted boatmen. On the contrary, I need to pay you an additional 9000 million throne coins."

The rogue trader said seriously.

"Oh, alright."

Fu Qinghai suddenly understood.

Occasionally, he would subconsciously bring in the price of human resources on the earth. In the previous life, the labor cost of all countries on the earth was constantly rising, especially for technical talents such as seamen, the salary was even higher.But this is the Warhammer 40 universe, and human life is notoriously worthless. A full 19 experienced and qualified crew members are not enough to offset four small warships.

"Please sit down, sit down and talk."

Fu Qinghai invited Yolanda to take a seat.

The Rogue Trader is indeed capable of doing things.

It is worthy of being the military contractor of the Iron Buddha.

The three sat down again.

Fu Qinghai was about to open the wine cabinet:

"Taste the wine from Quatis..."

"We've all had it."

Xia Yu, director of Xingyu, said.

Although Xia Yu was blindfolded, she raised her chin with a presumptuous expression on her face, as if saying:

I just want to drink your wine, how about it?

Fu Qinghai smiled:

"Okay, you can drink as much as you want."

Yolanda next to him saw this scene.

There was some unbearable surprise in his eyes.

She didn't expect that Xia Yu entertained herself with Qingshan Khan's hidden wine, and he didn't even get his permission or even tell him about it.But looking at their expressions and tone, Khan didn't seem to care at all—this was far beyond the female captain's expectations. It didn't look like the relationship between the chapter leader and the astropath, and the two didn't even look like their subordinates.

How is this going?

What she didn't know was.

Xia Yu Frospin's feelings for Qingshan Khan have long since developed into a collection of complex emotions such as mixed admiration, admiration, and attachment.Thinking that she had just graduated from the Psychic Academy and served on the cruiser Riema, during which she also experienced the Slaanesh demon possession incident. At that time, Khan ordered two female illegal psykers to forcibly exorcise her and successfully rescued her. Next, the pharmacist then cut off her mutated part.

Xia Yu is not an ignorant girl. When she was studying at the Psychic Academy, she had seen poor students who were possessed by evil spirits because they could not control their own psionic energy. The empire's method of dealing with these people is very simple-direct execution, safe and easy .Xia Yu knew very well that it was Khan who insisted on saving her, and it was he who gave her a new life at great risk.

And for Xia Yu, she also knows a lot of little secrets about the Chapter Leader, for example, Khan often summons a female illegal psychic named "Zhang Yuning" in private, and there is a woman's corset in Khan's bedroom Panties and stockings!

So the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

See the surprise in Yolanda's eyes.

Tracy smiled and said nothing.

Fu Qinghai sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.

Now is not a time of war, and the space fighters have to train hard to prepare for battle even in non-war times, but navigators and astropaths don't need it, so they have social entertainment normally, he has no opinion, and he doesn't intend to interfere.

"What were you talking about just now, smiling so happily?"

Fu Qinghai asked casually.

"We are talking about what we have seen in the world of the throne. Xia Yu and I both grew up in Terra, and Yolanda went to Terra when he was a child. We have somewhat different impressions of the world of the throne."

Tracy smiled.

Khan is usually very busy, so busy that he hardly touches the ground, and it is hard to see him chatting with him leisurely.So the navigator is very happy today, thinking that it is a rare opportunity to toast with Khan and talk about romantic affairs instead of military analysis.

Fu Qinghai thought it was a good topic.

Just about to open his mouth to say something.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the depths of his mind:
[Reincarnation Master World Warhammer 40K universe, the plot line major event slave war has ended, the plot line of the Black Legion camp has won the final victory! 】

[Start calculating assimilation points...]

[Assimilation points deducted... 3012 points! 】

It's over, the slave war is over!
Fu Qinghai remained calm on the surface.

He just lifted his glass and took a sip.

Because this result did not exceed his expectations.

The reincarnated can't change anything.

Abaddon ultimately won.

It's just... Damn, Qingshan Khan lost for the first time in his career.

This thing is a little bit bad.

Then the cold voice continued:
[I am about to enter the next reincarnation world, countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...]

Fu Qinghai's face suddenly changed.

Immediately got up and picked up the helmet and said:

"Sorry, everyone, I have something urgent, so excuse me."

After speaking, he strode quickly towards his personal arsenal.

The three women were all taken aback.

Xia Yu pursed her mouth slightly, not very happy.

Tracy thought to herself, what else is important at this time?

Yolanda couldn't help but lament that Khan is so versatile.

……

Suzheng, the private arsenal of the Chapter Master.

Fu Qinghai just closed the white suitcase.

The countdown is over.

His eyes suddenly went dark, and he lost consciousness for an instant.

……

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and his consciousness fluttered.

In a daze.

Only the muffled cello sounded leisurely.

A piece of magnificent music full of epic sense played.

Fu Qinghai suddenly felt familiar.

…………

　Thanks, check points, _ cheong, Lazy Heavenly Demon, Master Jiejiao Tongtian, Ao Ao, KHANTIE, several book friends gave rewards.

1. It took me some time to reorganize the character cards and add a lot of new characters, including the characters created by book friends. I carefully matched the avatar and some random character covers for each character. Upload according to the character image in your heart.

2. Some book friends said that this book is invincible... This book is really not invincible.It’s just that before it was put on the shelves, I discovered that many readers of online novels don’t want the protagonist to suffer at all. Regardless of the cause and effect, regardless of the reason, as long as the protagonist suffers, he immediately yells "Destroy your intelligence! Destroy your intelligence! Forcibly degrade your intelligence!", Compromise With a compromise, it becomes like this, giving people a feeling of invincibility.
