Chapter 320: Transmitting Star Messages and Smoke Signals 4 Times
When the pus, smoke and foul air dissipated, the deep dark space was restored. After a "buzzing" vibration, everyone finally returned to the real space.
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The think tank was shocked, not only because they saw a real devil, but also because they did not expect that Lin Heng beside them could release a more powerful divine power!
Although there is no skill involved, its abundant energy alone is enough to completely destroy Xuwang!
The Death Watch around them also gathered around. The shock just now was aimed at the spiritual level. Fortunately, the people standing next to them were not ordinary people.
Even those Star Army soldiers were still suffering from splitting headaches. Fortunately, the panacea was still effective for mental trauma. After taking one pill, each of them felt full of energy again after 5 minutes.
"How much of the panacea is in stock now?"
"Twelve thousand and twenty-three have been produced and sealed."
Lin Heng shook his head. This number was still not enough. Even if half of them had to hide in the mountains, there would be at least 80,000 defenders in the outer positions.
What's more, what they will face next are the evil god's followers who are full of diseases. If medicines are not provided, the number of non-combat casualties will definitely reach a point where morale will collapse.
“If the STC is transported now, the corresponding production line will also have to be stopped, even if a suitable location can be found on the warship.
The time it takes to go back and forth is uncertain, not to mention that the Death Guards will definitely not watch you and me complete the transfer." The think tank said.
"That's right. Transporting the remaining 100,000 people cannot be completed in just a few days. Without large-scale transportation equipment, it will take at least a week.
What's more, being stationed on the ground is much safer than being in space. Who knows if the other party's fearless attitude is because they have already ambushed in space and are waiting to catch them in the trap.
Someone taught me not to look at what they did, but what they affected.”
Everyone just looked at Lin Heng silently, as if they were pondering the truth behind what he said. The pastor nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Just then, the Space Wolf who had just finished cleaning up the ammunition depot walked in. After a moment of silence, Super Lion muttered:
"What's that? What's that?"
"You're just stupid. Just forget it if you don't understand."
"Can you understand?"
"sure."
"Shit!"
"Bounce back."
"..."
The Black Shield priest stepped forward and gave a teasing look. The wolf covered his head and bared his teeth and said:
"The pastor was the one who started the trouble!"
But the Black Shield Priest remained silent, and instead took out the double-headed eagle short staff from his waist. The two of them immediately shook and became as quiet as a sleeping baby, and their expressions were also the same.
The other party then walked up to Lin Heng and nodded:
"You are quite right, my friend, no one understands that you can destroy a planet and save it at the same time.
You can't just look at the surface of things. The truth hidden behind the truth is the real answer, and for this, you still need to unravel it.
Everyone, please follow Lin Heng's arrangements and deployments. The enemies we are facing this time are our fellow tribesmen from the past, and some of them have survived for ten thousand years..."
After the Black Shield Priest finished speaking, he turned around and left, continuing to check the running STC. Lin Heng felt a little confused, so he walked up to the wolf and the lion who were fighting with each other and whispered:
"Which regiment is this priest from? Why is he so mysterious?"
They both shook their heads at the same time.
"No one knows. The Black Shields are all Space Marines who severed ties with their original Chapters. We don't even know his name. We all call him Chaplain."
"We hardly even heard the pastor speak. I remember when I first came to Deathwatch five years ago, he just said 'welcome' and never spoke again."
"Indeed, this is the first time I have said so much today."
The two of them nodded together.
Lin Heng seemed to be thinking about something. He went forward to ask, but the other party did not answer. He just changed the subject and said:
"It's okay if we don't leave, but I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long with just our strength. Before other forces arrive, you and I might really turn into a pool of mud.
Although I have always been pursuing this feeling of risking my life, I still have to give out something like STC that can influence the war situation in a star field.
Before coming, we mobilized the surrounding naval forces, but they didn't know that the real enemy would be the rebellious warband.
They are not weak aliens like the Tau, Chaos... has never been weak. "
"I understand. But I think it might not be easy for all of us to die. After all, some people hate STC and some people like it. Although both sides are not very normal..."
"You mean... the Adeptus Mechanicus?"
Lin Heng nodded, thinking that this priest really understood things quickly. This guy was much smarter than any Space Marine he had ever seen.
No identity... Black Shield... It seems this person really has some unknown past...
The pastor raised his head slightly and said:
"For the Adeptus Mechanicus, obtaining a complete and functioning STC is indeed an uncontrollable desire.
If any Imperial organization could arrive in time, it would probably only be the Adeptus Mechanicus, which represents one of the two-headed eagles and possesses the unknown technology of the Dark Ages...
However, in this case, relying on the power of the Mechanicus is just like inviting a wolf to drive away a lion, using one dangerous enemy to suppress another.
After all, desires often overwhelm reason, and they are not as determined as we are... Although the rebel warband in front of us is so ironic, it is indeed the case. "
Lin Heng's eyes lit up. It was the first time he had seen someone with such clear thinking and no affectation. It was also the first time he had seen such a rational Space Marine in such a chaotic and complex universe.
It's even a bit too normal... But this is understandable. The Deathwatch team members are a mixed bag. If the priest is not normal, it would be extremely difficult to maintain the relationship between the team members.
"At least, they are still part of the Empire. The Emperor is still watching over everything in the world. He will understand."
This time it was the priest's turn to nod. He looked up as if to the Milky Way outside the rock wall and silently repeated:
"Yeah..he'll understand."
Later, Lin Heng contacted the Star Language Court on the battle cruiser again with the help of the think tank. With the protection of the holy light, everyone discussed where to pass the message.
Lin Heng was not clear about the situation in the Extreme Star Region, but since ancient times, the Far East has been the birthplace of all battles, and the empire’s territory is no exception.
The navigators on the battlecruisers searched star maps from thousands of years ago, constantly looking for traces of planet forging on thousands of planets.
Although the plan was well-made, the reality was often cruel. The east was close to the Tau Empire, and although there were two Forge Worlds closest to the west, it would have to cross the Charadon Orc Empire which consisted of several star regions.
Normally, I hate to attract the attention of these war maniacs, but now I won't try to attract them. After all, with the orcs' transformation capabilities, the STC might be used by them.
Although there is the star kingdom of Ultramar in the south, which was created by Robert Guilliman, the head of the Ultramarines Legion and the current regent, it is unable to take care of itself because of the tentacles of the hive.
Although there is a "Triple Phil" in the north which was a forging planet ten thousand years ago, there is a large rift blocking the distance between the two.
Even an Alpha-level astropath cannot easily penetrate the barrier of the subspace rift, so it is really wishful thinking for everyone to contact each other.
After trying for three Terra hours, the exhausted psykers seemed to see tragic despair.
The think tank even wanted to contact the "Eye of Damocles" Death Watch team that guards and monitors the Tau Empire in the fourteen conventional fortresses.
However, because the opponent's location was too critical, it was an empty bay without any planets. The enemy's invasion would be very rapid, and withdrawing manpower would increase the difficulty of defending the area several times, so the proposal was rejected by the priest.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the appearance of Taraxin, who had not been seen for a long time, brought hope to Lin Heng.
But at first glance, he didn't want to ask the other party for help. After all, the other party had no expression on his face, but he just made people feel that he was a little mean.
"F*ck, there are fucking bitches in the real universe too, just like that fucking evil god..."
Lin Heng muttered a few words quietly, and then said that he would think alone for a while to find a solution.
The think tank was a little anxious because of the excessive output of spiritual energy, and couldn't help but wonder what other solutions Lin Heng had.
The priest, however, seemed to be thinking about something. After calming down the think tank, he expressed his belief in Lin Heng's ability. After all, anyone who could survive the turbulence of the subspace must have his own unique qualities.
Lin Heng resisted the urge to use his 'Star Vision' to check the other person's face, and quickly walked to an uninhabited area, while Taraxin approached him as if they had telepathic connection.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... This guy is really not simple. I didn't realize his identity at first glance... Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Hey, this priest of the Death Watch has a lot of secrets. Do you want to hear them?"
Lin Heng didn't have the mood to pay attention to this matter right now. After all, everyone has some little secrets. He then bluntly expressed his desire to communicate with the Casting Planet.
"Huh? Are we friends? Are you a little confused about your own position? I'm just in a good mood and I'm letting you out for some fresh air.
If you really don't want to, I'll put you in the exhibition hall in a minute. Do you think we are on equal terms? You're overthinking, young man!"
Lin Heng took a deep breath to calm himself. Although he had only known Taraxin for a short time, he had a deep understanding of his temper.
So he adjusted his attitude and asked again:
"What do you want me to do?"
Taraxin turned his back and turned his head back in a lewd manner, stroking his chin and said thoughtfully:
"To be honest, I don't really have any idea... But, I'm increasingly feeling that this group of fanatical aliens are a group of sand walls, so I'm going to mess with them.
However, given my status, this small population is not worth my effort. So, opening a small account and letting my subordinates handle it is still a different experience.
So, go ahead, Xiaolin Heng, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, you have to go to the Tau Empire and let those self-righteous Ethers see what the real universe is.
Let them...”
"Okay, okay, don't nag me anymore, I'll do as you say."
"Yes!"
Taraxin stood at attention and saluted with a tone full of sarcasm. He trotted away from the scene and came back half an hour later to tell Lin Heng that he was ready.
Later, Lin Heng found several priests and said that through the previous infiltration, he had found the other party’s overclocked planetary information generator equipment.
That is a device that can use the planet's own magnetic field to accelerate signal transmission. After the cumulative acceleration of layers of planets, it can reach the other end of the big rift within a few hours.
Although it is not a signal that ordinary humans can receive, Forge Planet must be able to figure out the meaning of this message.
Moreover, I think we can attach psychic energy to it, so as to protect the information while exploring whether there are any easy-to-pass gaps in the big rift.
The legitimate plan gave everyone hope, so they immediately looked for the location of the equipment and sent 60 killing warriors to the battlefield.
But it is strange that such important equipment is only guarded by two companies of firefighters. Not only is the location remote, but there is not much decent heavy firepower.
The only set of xv95 ghost cover combat suit, and because no one knew how to use it, Lin Heng took it directly. The speed of the battle and the simplicity of the process made everyone feel a little incredible.
To the extent that Lin Heng had to avoid other people's sight, for fear that the other party would feel something was wrong and ask some questions.
However, he still changed the subject by driving an alien mecha. The name of the Ghost Combat Suit suggests that it is an invisible combat suit, but there is no swarm of machine bees here that can provide an invisible force field.
Therefore, it cannot achieve invisibility by itself, but its height is about three times that of an ordinary Space Marine, and its thick body of more than 7 meters in height can carry countless weapons.
xv95, ghost cover, ghost keel, ghost cover combat suit (translation problem), invisible combat suit, which is between Gundam and ordinary combat suit
This immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Death Watch soldiers. After all, modifying and using alien equipment seemed extremely normal to them.
They even expressed more respect for being able to use more and more complicated things. Lin Heng's move naturally won everyone's applause, making him more and more integrated into it. Every soldier felt that they could find some similarities in it.
After 6 Terra hours, everyone finally transported the signal tower back to the mountain base, and through certain interrogation methods, they obtained the control method from the stationed alien.
With the addition of psychic energy, the message for help was finally sent out.
Although they don't know when the other party will reply, this is their only chance now. They can only hope that the Mechanicus will really do whatever it takes for the STC.
So in the remaining unknown time, Lin Heng asked the two think tank pastors for advice on psychic skills and studied the techniques of energy classification in depth.
After the 36th Terra Hour, the battle arrived as expected.
"Report to all angels, the aliens have counterattacked again!"
"There is no need for the defenders outside the position to attack. The real enemy is coming."
