Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

According to the data displayed on the virtual screen, there should be a huge blue-skinned fleet on the edge of the chaotic and crazy [Sea of ​​Souls].

If nothing unexpected happens, the mission of this group of blue-skinned people... should be to support [Dukanwei] who has been burned into a glass ball! ! !

For the Empire that has mastered both [Subspace Navigation] and [Webway Navigation] technologies, the Damocles Gulf area is huge and vast... but after a few days of sailing at most, the Imperial Fleet can completely cross this desolate and empty area.

Although the blue-skinned people of the [Tau Empire] have mastered advanced power armor manufacturing technology, these blue-skinned people themselves do not have any psychic talent.

The projection of the Tau people in the [Sea of ​​Souls] is just a dim virtual image!

This unique physique is destined to have a very shallow connection with the crazy subspace! While lacking psychic talent, the blue-skinned people are also very vulnerable to the erosion and pollution from chaos.

In this galaxy full of madness, this talent is undoubtedly extremely enviable.

But correspondingly, the inability to establish contact with the subspace... means that it is impossible for something like a "Navigator" to be born in the [Tai Empire].

Without the observation of the navigator, it is even more ridiculous to develop the [subspace navigation] technology.

At the beginning of the establishment of the [Tai Empire], the blueskins could only rely on the extremely slow [working fluid propulsion] to navigate between the galaxies.

The inefficient and slow navigation speed destined it to be unable to obtain too many colonies between this vast galaxy...

So in the first two [Sky Expansions], the blueskins of the [Tai Empire] could only colonize a few planets close to the home world.

If there is no breakthrough in technology, then these colonized planets plus the home world will be the entire [Tai Empire].

But about two centuries ago, the blueskins were lucky enough to get the wreckage of an imperial battleship.

By dismantling the wreckage, the scientists of the [Earth Clan] obtained a complete [subspace engine] from it.

The various skills and wisdom contained in the [subspace engine] fascinated the scientists.

By reverse-analyzing the engine, the scientists of the Earth Clan finally created a creation called the [Horizon Accelerator].

This engine can allow warships to enter the gap between the physical universe and the Sea of ​​Souls, allowing them to sail like skipping stones on the edge of the crazy [Sea of ​​Souls].

Compared with the inefficient physical space navigation, this way of sailing like skipping stones is undoubtedly extremely efficient and convenient.

But in front of the real [warp navigation] or even [webway technology], the acceleration engine of the blueskins is simply a piece of junk.

According to the speed of the blueskin fleet, it will take at least several Terran days to reach this completely destroyed planet.

But for the [Dark Angel] fleet, the loyal [Sons of the Lion] will definitely be able to... make the blasphemous betrayal planet and the [Tau Empire] fall into hell forever during this long period of time.

………………

After a short [warp navigation], the Dark Angel fleet soon arrived at another world that had betrayed the glory of the throne.

The loyal [Sons of the Lion] didn't even have the interest to talk nonsense with the betrayers.

The huge fleet was suspended in the orbit of the planet, mercilessly bringing down the Emperor's wrath on the rebellious planets one after another.

In order to deal with possible emergencies during the [Glorious Expedition], the Dark Angels fleet stored a total of 51 weapons for executing the [Extermination Order].

When the fleet finally arrived at the Gate World outside the [Tai Empire] home world, this number had been sharply reduced to 19...

Hundreds of billions of mortal traitors received the great forgiveness from the Emperor in the flames and shock waves.

The blasphemous mortal traitors have all been purged, and the next target of the [Dark Angels] is the heart of the [Tai Empire]! !

...

After a not-too-long warp voyage, the Imperial Fleet officially arrived at the territory of the [Tai Empire].

As early as when the first colonized planet was destroyed by the Imperial Fleet, the [Tai Empire] home world had received news of the arrival of the Dark Angels.

When the Imperial Fleet arrived, the thirteen [Gate Worlds] guarding the outer side of the [Home World] were already on full alert.

The number of blue warships has reached a shocking level.

Even on the radar scan of the [Unyielding Truth], it shows a sea of ​​red light spots...

But in terms of combat power alone, the blue fleet does not actually have any advantage.

In the fierce naval battle, the number of fleets can greatly shake the balance of war... But in the face of absolute power, the difference in numbers can be almost ignored.

Most of the warships in the [Dark Angel] fleet have been transformed by the great sage Cawl.

The technology from the [Battle Celestial Body] has been applied to the warships, greatly increasing the combat power of these warships.

Looking at the [Tau Empire] fleet suspended in the cold void, [Lion King] Lion's cold face showed a scornful smile.

"The alien fleet has entered the attack range!" Azrael's voice echoed in the empty command cabin, "All warships are in combat posture! Let the Emperor's wrath and destruction... fall on those damn blue heads!!"

Almost instantly, the Dark Angels fleet, consisting of hundreds of warships, formed a neat formation.

The light spears and laser beam arrays hidden on the side of the warships began to charge! The mechanical arms, which were tens of meters high, hoisted huge brass shells and slowly filled them into the warships' ammunition bays.

The Dark Angels fleet had completely entered a war posture! !

When the will of Lion, the Lion, resounded throughout the fleet, the huge Imperial fleet began to spew the Emperor's wrath at the blasphemous aliens.

Missiles and torpedoes branded with the Mark of Purity were ejected from the launch bays! !

The artillery fire, like a tide, dragged dazzling tail flames, drawing dazzling arcs in the cold void... and then rushed straight to the blasphemous fleet of the Titanium Empire.

The warships of the Titanium Empire were not equipped with the Void Shield similar to the Imperial Fleet!

But in the face of the dense artillery fire like raindrops, this group of blue skins still developed their own unique technological means to evade.

The abomination intelligence of the [Tai Empire] has developed to an extremely advanced level.

If it continues to develop at this speed, then in about two thousand years at most... the [Iron Rebellion] that once swept the entire galaxy will come again.

Obviously, this group of hateful blue skins does not have two thousand years to develop!

Thanks to the [Abomination Intelligence]'s precise manipulation to the centimeter, most of the physical weapons that rushed towards the blue skin fleet were accurately intercepted.

The remaining few torpedoes and missiles are not enough to break through the [electromagnetic shield] carried by the [Tai Empire] fleet.

The only weapons that can really threaten this alien fleet are pure energy weapons such as [Futa Ray] and [Light Spear].

But because they have suffered from the [Caliban Rebellion], the [Dark Angels] have a deep hatred for energy weapons that were once widely used by the Fallen Angels... from the depths of their genes.

Because of this, the Dark Angels fleet was carrying very limited energy weapons.

Coupled with the evasion and protection of the Blue Fleet, the first wave of artillery fire from the Imperial Fleet...did not cause much damage to the Blue Fleet.

However, the [Automatic Bees] surrounding the Blue Fleet were able to break through the protection of the [Void Shield] of the Imperial Fleet at a relatively slow speed...causing a certain degree of damage to the Dark Angels Fleet.

In the first battle that lasted for several Terra hours, two small frigates in the [Dark Angels] fleet were forced to withdraw from the battlefield due to damage to the warship structure...

Although the presence of the two frigates was not enough to shake the balance of the war!

But such a result still greatly encouraged the [Tau Empire] fleet, which had never seen the world.

"Is this the human empire that the [Ethers] fear?" The commander of the Blue Fleet, [Qing Xi], revealed a scornful smile.

"Nothing more! As long as the great [Greater Good] is given enough time, such a weak empire can be easily broken."

In the process of colonizing the empire world, the Tau people also learned about the antiquity and power of the empire from the mouths of those mortal betrayers.

Being able to survive for ten thousand years in the galaxy surrounded by enemies is enough to prove the powerful strength of humans and the ancient empire...

There is no doubt that the ancient and rigid human empire can be called the biggest enemy of [Greater Good].

In order to deal with the threat from the human empire! As early as a century ago, [Tau] gathered the best scientists and warriors in the entire race... and began to discuss tactics against the empire.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the so-called [Human Empire] does not seem to be worth the efforts of these blueskins for a century.

"The final victory will belong to [Greater Good]!" Qingxi's enthusiastic voice resounded throughout the blueskin fleet, "Tau warriors, drive away all invading enemies!!!"

The encouragement from the commander made the blueskins fall into a frenzy! ! The Tau people were originally afraid of the ancient empire, but at this moment... this fear has turned into a kind of contempt!

The [Tau Empire] fleet has begun to prepare a new round of offensive.

At the same time, in the command cabin of the [Unyielding Truth].

[Lion King] Ryan stood in front of the huge porthole of the battleship, looking at the light of torpedoes and missiles blooming in the void with an inexplicable look.

[Supreme Grand Mentor] Azrael stood beside the Father of Genes, silent.

The blue-skinned fleet in front of him, full of high-tech atmosphere, made the Lion King's thoughts return to the [Megalith Fortress] decades ago.

In the ruined [Warband Monastery], Ryan had a secret meeting with the Imperial Regent.

The theme of the meeting was the [Tau Empire] created by these blue skins.

The Imperial Regent believed that the technology of the [Tau Empire] had certain merits. If the technology tree of these blue skins could be fully analyzed... then the strength of the empire would definitely be improved.

However, the Lion King who had just revived from his slumber firmly opposed this.

Ryan knew very well that the seemingly brilliant technology tree of the Titanium Empire actually had a major premise - the Abomination Intelligence! !

Without the support of the Abomination Intelligence, the weapons, automatons, power armor and even fleets of the Blueskins would become a pile of useless scrap metal...

In other words, if the Empire wanted to obtain the Blueskins' technology, it would inevitably have to study the Abomination Intelligence.

The Iron Rebellion in the Golden Age almost wiped out the entire human race.

Following the will of the Emperor, researching the Abomination Intelligence has always been the red line in the Empire's technology!

Even the Mechanicus, which has a high degree of autonomy, would never dare to cross the red line between the Emperor and the entire Empire.

But the words of the Imperial Regent at that time still make the Lion King remember them vividly.

"The Empire has existed in this crazy galaxy for ten thousand years! This small galaxy is full of enemies of humans and the Empire."

"In order for the Empire to survive perfectly, humans must abandon stereotypes and decay! And as leaders, our bottom line must also become more flexible."

When saying this, the Imperial Regent was looking at the Thinker Array embedded in the wall of the Chapter Monastery.

The core of the Thinker is actually a living head.

These heads are called "Wetware of Flesh and Blood", most of which come from the Empire's death row prisoners or the cloning technology of the Mechanicus.

Hundreds of millions of neurons contained in the cerebral cortex act as computer components, helping users process things as vast as the stars.

Whenever the current containing countless information passes through, these pathetic flesh and blood wetware will fall into endless pain.

The Imperial Regent has no pity for these heads soaked in nutrient solution!

But as the empire's territory gradually expands, the speed of information processing of the [Thinker Array] is far from meeting the needs of the empire.

A change is imminent! ! ! !

"The [Flesh and Blood Technology] based on cloning technology is indeed safe!" The words of the Imperial Regent still echoed in the ears of the Lion King, "but the computing power that [Flesh and Blood Wetware] can provide is extremely inefficient."

"And on the ever-changing battlefield, inefficiency means death!"

"With the continuous expansion of the empire, the enemies faced by mankind will become more terrifying! And the unchanging flesh and blood technology will inevitably slow down the pace of the empire's restoration of glory!"

"Now... It's time to put the restart of intelligent technology on the agenda!"

The Lion King at that time sneered at the crazy idea of ​​the Imperial Regent!

But after a deep understanding of everything about the [Tai Empire], Ryan's iron will was shaken for the first time.

The advanced and convenient technology of the [Tai Empire] has almost stood at the top of the galaxy.

Compared with this group of blue skins, the human empire that relies on [Flesh and Blood Technology] to maintain its rule is like a barbarian from history.
