Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Nothing much remains to be said about Palmer's war, not much to write.

When the splashing and pouring of iron and fire becomes an established process, when killings and casualties become fleeting data on a statistical list;

Calvin did not want to look any further at these narrow characters because they could not describe the eventuality of those sacrificed souls on the real battlefield.

During the naval battle, the Orc fleet remained the same, except for frontal charges.

Occasionally, when the psychic boys' signals are full, Calvin can also look forward to gang-hopping tactics from the orcs.

But that’s all. Da Jiba obviously didn’t think too much about the design of the battleship;

According to past experience, before their number and size reach a certain threshold, lack of tactics will be the norm for the Orc Navy, and there will be no unexpected changes;

Yes, orcs have a threshold.

Although times have changed, thousands of years have passed since the humiliating orc war that treated the heroes of Terra as dirt;

But the empire is still wary of the civilization and wisdom displayed by the orcs at that time after their numbers and size reached a certain level.

And as the orcs who resurrected under the Emperor from the Ullanor War, they brought long-lasting scars of shame to the Empire;

The concept of the Battle Moon was also deeply engraved in the minds of all members of the Alien Tribunal established in later generations.

The focus of the post-war cleanup and intelligence statistics of the first two galaxies is here:

Accompanied by members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Inquisition reviewed the number of natural celestial bodies in the galaxy over and over again in an extremely serious manner;

All gravitational field environments that are confirmed to be suitable for the creation of artificial celestial bodies are naturally the top priority of inspection work.

On the eve of the fleet's arrival in the Bowen system, the statistical results of Hicks and Palmer were sent to the headquarters that had arrived with the grand fleet;

The green statistical logo also made the senior generals who took time out of their busy work to attend the meeting feel at ease.

But after the Bowen Galaxy was successfully captured, Calvin and others finally waited for the first boot to fall.

In the post-war galaxy, the Alien Tribunal and the Adeptus Mechanicus followed routine procedures to count the number of celestial objects in the galaxy that were officially registered with the Empire;

What is different from the past is that this simple task has been delayed for several hours and has not been completed.

The clerical staff of the Tribunal responsible for this work activated the emergency response mechanism and reported the information across levels to the senior members of the Alien Tribunal accompanying Calvin:

The location of the satellite on the lost secondary forge world Bowen 6, Bowen 9, was finally confirmed to have disappeared after several searches and verifications.

The unexplained disappearance of this tiny celestial body with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers triggered the alert mechanism of the Alien Tribunal;

In just a few hours, all the officers in the headquarters were urgently notified.

Considering that the satellite has only disappeared and its final destination has not been confirmed;

A small-scale but extremely confidential meeting, led by the Revenant Redeemer, began via video conference.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Because the empire's current battleship design blueprint does not include anti-star weapons and corresponding battleship standards.

Among the weapons used by the Inquisition's Order of Excommunication, the double-stage cyclone torpedo, which can cause the most complete planetary destruction, may be the live ammunition weapon closest to this goal.

However, this torpedo is not designed for the battlefield. Its use requires that the unit that releases the weapon must be in orbit;

Being in orbit itself means that the target does not have air defense capabilities.

In a word, this thing is a large firework used to kill things;

Against the celestial-level combat units that are likely to appear on the orc side, its role is not to say unique, but it can also be said to be better than nothing.

The atmosphere in the venue became very depressing for a while. Those qualified to attend the meeting were all war-experienced professional soldiers and senior war technical experts;

None of them could speak out and arrogantly assure the colleagues present that as long as the orcs did not resist, the double-stage cyclone torpedo would be barely enough. Such absurd arguments.

"The planet killer?"

Calvin first thought of what he had gained in Lyak before and asked Reza, the deputy foundry superintendent, Father Constantine.

"It can't be done."

Constantine simply denied it and explained to everyone's doubtful eyes:

"That weapon system is just a theoretical product of the oath, and after inspecting the ships in the orbital shipyard, we found that it was only the most basic test ship..."

"Oh..." Calvin fell silent, and the high-ranking navy generals present also fell silent.

They were clear about the concept of a test ship, which meant that it was only cast to verify the feasibility of a certain theory;

All the components on the ship only meet the minimum standards for the operation of a certain system;

Not to mention that this fragile standard can withstand a few shots at the actual combat level;

To put it pessimistically, even if this kind of experimental ship can fire, the other structures on it will be blank.

Without the corresponding energy system, Geiger stance, weapon array and protective armor root, it has no actual combat significance;

Even if there is no problem with the main gun itself, the addition of every part of other important components to the outfit is enough to unbalance the design center of gravity of the entire hull, and the counterweight structure of the entire hull needs to be readjusted.

All in all, there is absolutely no possibility of Planet Killer joining the service sequence in the short term.

"Then what if we just want to use it as a weapon?"

Calvin asked again, this was already a step back.

If this is the case, the Orks' large celestial-level units may appear at any time.

They don't have time to slowly study and come up with a complete battleship system for the Mechanicus;

That being the case, is it feasible to settle for just a weapon that can fire?

"I'm afraid it still won't work..." Constantine said:

"We have tried to estimate the basic parameters required for the operation of this weapon. The energy supply it requires has exceeded the energy supply standards of all types of plasma reactors known to the empire;

Not only that, but the force-bearing structures at some key positions cannot be handled with existing technology in the physical environment of the real universe. "

Facing Calvin's gaze, Constantine gave the final conclusion that everyone present was least willing to accept:

"Even if technology advances in the future, it won't work. Theoretically speaking, its joints can only be cast in a subspace environment, and they can only appear in the real universe after reaching a balance of forces!"
