Infinite Metaverse

Chapter 457 Coronation

Graf Hautmann solar brine converter.

Essentially, it uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen, and the device itself only acts as a catalyst. If the vehicle is in a night world with no sunlight at all, then this device will not be effective.

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 will most likely not invest too many ground troops on this planet.

So it seems like the potential is indeed huge.

Phaeton Foundry World has another great product!

"The tentative name is: MK1 Phaeton adaptive solar liquid hydrogen injection brine reformer reactor engine. It can also be referred to as: MK1 Phaeton power engine."

Fu Qinghai agreed.

Different engine standards are provided according to different tank models, including light tanks, main battle tanks, heavy tanks, super heavy tanks, corresponding to MK1, MK2, MK3...

"As you wish."

Master Buck said.

Just decided on a new product.

A lot of things came to my door again.

Fu Qinghai just walked out of the laboratory.

Butler Man... Attendant Lin Yu came up to greet him.

"Khan, the joint bidding for the Chapter's gunships has ended. Tigrus Forge World and Anverus Nine Forge World 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.

There is no need to come forward in person for this kind of thing.

Counting the captured gene seeds and the recruits undergoing training, the Iron Buddha Chapter currently has thirteen companies, but the entire Chapter only has six Thunderhawk gunships, which is a serious shortage of projection power. Now the Phaeton Forging World is very wealthy. , Fu Qinghai decided to buy ready-made directly.

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

Fu Qinghai got the STC of the Space Marine landing craft. Unfortunately, it was a gunboat specially used to transport armored vehicles. It could not directly carry Space Marines, and its firepower was not enough. It could only be used by the fourth company's first boarding group.

There are many gunships in the Astartes vehicle sequence: Stormbird, Stormhawk, Stormcrow, Storm Falcon, Stormclaw... But Fu Qinghai only chose the Thunderhawk gunship and the Flame Raptor gunship. One is focused on transportation and delivery, and the other is focused on ground support and is responsible for licking the ground with firepower. The Flame Raptor is a special gunship that sacrifices carrying space to enhance ground firepower. As for why we chose these two gunships, the reason is very simple:

The former Thunderhawk gunship is the most versatile and can be manufactured in many forging worlds. This way, more people will participate in the bidding, which will help keep the price down. As for the latter, the Flame Raptor gunship has a record of "almost killing two fallen 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 Tiefutu Chapter to conduct centralized procurement according to the plan of one company equipped with three Thunderhawk gunboats and one Flame Raptor gunboat. The next thirteen companies, excluding three cavalry companies, one tank company and one flying company, will require a total of eighteen Thunderhawks and eight Flame Raptors. The price of one gunboat is already very expensive, let alone twenty-six of them! This is definitely a sky-high military purchase order.

After the star language message was sent out, many forge worlds with gunship manufacturing capabilities came to hear about it, including Mars, of course. However, Mars asked for too high a price and did not win the bid. The last two forge worlds from the Storm Star Territory lowered their unit prices and successfully won the bid. Won this large arms purchase order.

Fu Qinghai had just sent his attendants to handle these social events when a technical priest came over again:

"Khan, the Draconis family wishes to see you."

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

Fu Qinghai said to himself.

There are not many men in this knight family anymore, only a group of female family members are left. The men are basically minors. The so-called knight family has long existed in name only. Phaeton Forge World is willing to accept them, firstly because of Zofia, and secondly because they covet knight manufacturing technology - the Draconis family is one of the few knight families that has mastered complete knight manufacturing technology, and it is also they who dare to break away from the Mechanicus. The confidence lies.

There are two main sources of population in the Phaeton Forge World. One is the forced migration from the Schwerin Hive World, and the other is the synthetic humans in the mechanical test tubes of Master Quinto's cloning factory. The two have now been mixed into one, and their appearance characteristics have begun to become obvious. Adapted to the special geographical environment of Phaeton - pale skin and large pupils. This is a sign of lack of UV exposure for a long time. 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, which had a sunny and comfortable climate, the Phaeton Forge World was indeed not a livable place. Considering this, Fu Qinghai specifically placed the Knight Family in a special urban area. Living there, the earth's crust is thin, and several giant light wells can be opened up on the surface to allow natural sunlight from the surface to enter the underground world through a series of refraction and reflection to provide lighting.

Qingshan Khan is really heartwarming.

Follow the technical priest to this urban area.

Enter a gorgeous Gothic hall.

After entering the hall, Fu Qinghai found that everyone was there. Zofia, Janiko, and a group of women from knight families. The elderly woman held a sleeping baby in her arms, and the younger woman held an ignorant child in her hand. They were all standing together now, waiting for the arrival of the chapter leader.

Fu Qinghai cast a questioning look at Zofia.

Zofia responded with a sweet smile.

It shouldn't be a bad thing...

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"Khan."

The old woman at the head bowed and saluted.

"Hello, ma'am."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly and said calmly.

The chief relic guard of the Draconis family stood next to the old woman. His claws blended with muscles and metal held a small metal box. Several silver mechanical appendages on both sides of his body slid to open the box. , and took out a ring made of emerald, agate and gold.

Mrs. 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 raised the metal ring devoutly.

"This is?"

Fu Qinghai looked confused.

"salute!"

Mrs. Janiko said loudly,

Her resonant voice resounded throughout the hall.

"To the great Qingshan Khan, the Stormborn, the Tiger of the Iron Belt, Chapter Master of the Iron Stupa, Master of the Forge World of Phaeton, Protector of the Marcus King Sector, Knight of the Orestes World. Savior, kneel down and salute!”

"Crash..."

The whole hall suddenly knelt down.

All the female members of the knight family, whether they were holding babies or leading children, including the group of sacred objects guarding the phalanx behind them, all bowed their heads and knelt down on one knee.

"Long live Qingshan Khan!"

shouted Mrs. Janiko.

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

"Here……"

Fu Qinghai looked down at the crown in his hand.

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

"Khan."

At this time, the old woman at the head 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 a Chapter Astartes?

It sounds very weird, but if you think about it, it seems to be no problem - the Knight family can either be loyal to a certain forge world or directly loyal to Holy Terra, and the Draconis family can choose to be loyal to the Phaeton Forge World and the Catastrophe Titan Legion. But after coming to Phaeton for so long, they have long understood that this forging world belongs entirely to Qingshan Khan alone.

So why bother?

Simply bypass the Titan Legion and pledge allegiance directly to Khan.

Fu Qinghai held up the crown in his palm.

He looked down at this exquisite ring.

I thought to myself, you nobles are the ones having fun, and you guys understand the sense of ceremony and atmosphere better. I think I, Qingshan Khan, am also well-informed and have experienced great storms, but when I was suddenly messed with like this, I actually felt... A little excited?

The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Even breathing was deliberately suppressed.

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Qinghai had already made a decision in his mind - he did not wear the crown on his head because it was a mortal-sized crown and it would look a bit funny on his head. Just hold the edge gently with your hand armor.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and said seriously:

"I accept your allegiance."

"Huh...long live Khan!"

The nervous 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 step onto the Mechanical Throne and pilot the Knight Mecha to gallop on the battlefield of the empire. But... it will be in another form."

"In what form, Khan?"

The old woman at the head asked.

A smile appeared on Fu Qinghai's lips:

"Form of a Space Marine."

Fu Qinghai walked on the road leading to the spaceport, accompanied by four Iron Buddha Terminators escorting him.

He keeps playing with this exquisite crown in his hand. It is neither a psychic equipment nor a relic technology. It is simply a valuable item with symbolic significance, symbolizing the supreme authority and allegiance of a loyal knight family.

Originally, this crown should belong to Janiko Tan Draconis, the new family patriarch. But the chief knight knew that according to the current situation: all the knight mechas were wiped out, all the adult men were killed in the battle, and the female relatives of the family were left behind. He was no longer able to lead the family to revival, so he came up with a plan - simply declare allegiance to Qingshan Khan and let him lead the knight family to revival.

It's not a bad idea.

But what she didn't know was.

Aoyama Khan is a Grand Astartes.

In his plan, even the Titan Legion was piloted by Space Marines, let alone the Knights? In return for loyalty, the Draconis family's nobility status and detached treatment can still be retained in the future forging world, just like the hive world also retains the Sommerfeld family's aristocratic status and detached treatment. , a truth.

but! In the future, there will no longer be a knight family in the Phaeton Forge World. The knight family provides a group of men every year. After leaving their heirs, they will participate in the selection of space warriors. They must first become space warriors and then become knight pilots.

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

Don't tell me, it really does exist.

The Heavenly Punishment Dread Knight mecha.

In the process of killing subspace demons, the Gray Knights Chapter often faces an ultimate demon - the Chaos Demon. Whether it is the bloodthirsty demon of Khorne, the Changing Lord of Tzeentch, the Great Unclean One of Nurgle or the Great Keeper of Slaanesh, their body size is within the size of a Knight Mecha and a Warhound Titan. Between them, far more than the Dreadnought Mecha. Therefore, the Gray Knights Chapter needs a special equipment that can increase the height, weight, strength and psychic power to rival the Chaos Demon.

The Dread Knight of Heavenly Punishment came into being.

It is unknown to the outside world whether the Divine Punishment Dread Knight Mecha is a relic technology left over from the Dark Age of Technology or an alien technology from some unknown alien race, but this case at least illustrates that Space Marines can pilot the Knight Mecha. Your Gray Knights Chapter has knight mechas. Why can't our Iron Buddha Chapter have knight mechas?

The Knight Mecha is one thing.

The question of nobility is another aspect.

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

Based on the historical outlook and values ​​formed since childhood, Fu Qinghai personally does not like their class position. In his ideal society, there is no such thing as "nobles".

The reason why Fu Qinghai decided to retain the status and treatment of these traditional nobles in the knight world and hive world was not entirely to reward their loyalty. For example, the first captain Severus Agyman, the second captain Cato Sicarius, and the third captain Mikael Fabian of the later Ultramarines Chapter are all Ultramar. Aristocratic birth.

The Five Hundred Worlds have been ruled by the Ultramarines Chapter for a long time, and a traditional concept has been formed: many nobles are proud that their family heirs can join the Ultramarines Chapter. They will start to cultivate the physical fitness, knowledge and martial arts of the family's children when they are very young, making it easier for them to pass the selection and assessment of the Ultramarines than civilian children.

For Fu Qinghai, this kind of behavior is naturally popular. 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. Similar to the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, it is much better for aristocratic families to generally maintain a positive martial spirit than for many hive world aristocratic families to rely on hereditary power and quickly become corrupted.

Even several major families in Necromunda's hive world know that they need to train their children through "Lord Hunting" to prevent them from turning into a bunch of waste and waiting to die. Instead of engaging in such boring activities as Lord Hunting, join the Astartes Isn't the war group better? The hive world of Necromunda is one of the two recruiting worlds of the Imperial Fist. Unfortunately, Rogal Dorn's sons are not as good at governance as Robert Guilliman's sons.

Think all the way and walk all the way.

Fu Qinghai strolled to the space port.

Toss this delicate crown up and down in your hand.

But what I was thinking was: Tonight, I want Zofia to put on this crown and then raise her buttocks and kneel down...

"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 combat training content."

The space marine explained:

"According to your request, the daily training content of space warriors must include the KWOON training system. However, the first company commander believes that he does not fully understand this mecha combat technology, so he would like to ask you to teach it in person."

Qiao Shida is not only the first company commander, but also the chief training instructor of the Iron Buddha Chapter. Although five Titans are still in the construction stage, Fu Qinghai has started the air martial arts hall training system to prepare for a rainy day and reserve Titan pilot crew members in advance. There is just one problem at the moment: only Fu Qinghai and Zofia in the entire battle group have experience in driving Titans.

So Lao Qiao didn't know how to teach him.

The main focus of the Khan-class Titan is agile melee combat.

Titan fighting is not the same as human fighting.

What fighting moves a human can make depends on the human body structure. Similarly, what fighting moves a Titan can make also depends on the Titan's body structure.

"Okay, I get it."

Fu Qinghai took a deep breath and nodded:

"Let Xiao Fei organize a wave of screening first, and arrange for all the soldiers in the battle group to enter the simulated Pons bridge device and the simulated mental pulse unit. First, we will screen out those soldiers who have too strong rejection reactions, and then I will personally conduct the teaching."

"Okay, Khan."

…………

End of a day of training and teaching.

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

As soon as the cabin door slid open, a burst of laughter was heard from inside. Fu Qinghai walked into the captain's room and took a look: Astropath, Navigator, and Rogue Trader, three women were all in his captain's room. Inside, he was sitting in the sofa area eating fruit and chatting, covering his mouth and chuckling from time to time.

I saw Fu Qinghai come in.

Yolanda Atela quickly smoothed her skirt and stood up:

"Khan."

He looked obviously still a little nervous.

Astropath and Navigator Shi Shiran stood up and saluted.

His demeanor is relaxed and relaxed, not as restrained as that of a rogue trader.

"Uh, what's the matter?"

Fu Qinghai asked curiously.

"Ah, that's it, Khan. You previously ordered us to gather the battleship crews needed for six cruisers. We have been recruiting extensively in the Five Hundred Worlds and the Sun Star Territory. As of now, 190,000 contracted shipwrights have been All arrived at the Phaeton Forge World and can enlist immediately."

Yolanda first reported the results of her work.

"Oh, good, very good."

Fu Qinghai nodded repeatedly.

The Rogue Traders worked very efficiently, gathering 190,000 qualified crew members in a short period of time, which was no small feat. Although the number of crews required by the Astartes fleet is not as exaggerated as that of the Imperial Navy, such a large number of crews is also difficult to recruit. The Rogue Traders usually poach people directly from the navy fleet and hire experienced seamen with high salaries, because the Rogue Trader fleet often provides higher wages, and naval crews are usually happy to join the Rogue Trader fleet.

One issue of the famous "Weekly" describes how the Imperial Navy warned the grassroots sailors, telling them that the so-called high salary and safety of the Rogue Traders were all fake. Don't be deceived by them. The right way is to stay in the Navy honestly.

And actually.

Safety is fake but high salary is real.

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

Fu Qinghai asked immediately.

"No, you don't need to pay any remuneration. You sold us four escort warships in a package, which is more than enough to offset the price of 190,000 contracted shipwrights. On the contrary, I need to pay you an additional 90 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 Earth. In his previous life, labor costs in all countries on Earth were rising, especially for technical talents like seamen, whose wages were even higher. But this is the Warhammer 40K universe, and human life is notoriously worthless. A total of 190,000 experienced and qualified crew members are not enough to offset four small battleships.

"Please sit down, sit down and talk."

Fu Qinghai invited Yolanda to take a seat.

The Rogue Trader is really effective at doing things.

Worthy of being the military contractor of Iron Buddha.

The three of them sat down again.

Fu Qinghai was about to open the wine cabinet:

"Try the wine from Quatis..."

"We've all drank."

Xia Lu, the director of Star Language, said.

Although Xia Lu was blindfolded, he raised his chin with a rather wild look on his face, as if to say:

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

Fu Qinghai smiled:

"Okay, you can drink if you want."

Yolanda saw this scene next to her.

There was some hidden surprise in his eyes.

She never expected that Xia Long would use Qingshan Khan's wine to entertain her. This matter was not allowed by him at all, and he was not even informed. But looking at their expressions and tones, Khan seemed completely unconcerned - this was far beyond the female captain's expectations. This was not like the relationship between the Chapter Master and the Astropath. The two of them didn't even look like superiors and subordinates.

How is this going?

What she didn't know was.

Xialu Frospin's feelings for Qingshan Khan have long developed into a complex mixture of admiration, admiration, attachment and other complex emotions. It seems that she had just graduated from the Psychic Academy and served on the cruiser HMS Raging Horse. During this period, she also experienced the Slaanesh demon possession incident. At that time, Khan ordered two female illegal psykers to perform an exorcism and successfully rescued her. Next, the pharmacist then removed her mutated parts.

Xia Long is not an ignorant girl. When she was studying at the Psychic Academy, she saw poor classmates who were possessed by evil spirits because they were unable to control their own psionic powers. The empire's method of dealing with these people was very simple - execute them directly, which is safe and trouble-free. . Xia Lu knew very well that it was Khan who saved him and gave himself a new life at great risk.

As for Xia Long, she also knew a lot of little secrets about the Chapter Leader. For example, Khan often summoned a female illegal psyker named "Zhang Yuning" in private, and there was a woman's bra in Khan's bedroom. Underwear and stockings!

So the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

Saw the surprise in Yolanda's eyes.

Tracy smiled slightly and said nothing.

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

It was not war time, and Space Marines had to train hard to prepare for battle even in non-war times, but Navigators and Astropaths did not need to, so they were socializing and having fun normally. He had no objection and had no intention of interfering.

"What were you talking about just now and laughing so happily?"

Fu Qinghai asked casually.

"We were talking about our experiences in the Throne World. Xia Lu and I both grew up in Terra. Yolanda went to Terra when she was a child. We have some different impressions of the Throne World."

Tracy said with a smile.

Khan is usually very busy, so busy that he can hardly touch the ground. It is difficult to see him leisurely chatting with him. Therefore, the Navigator is very happy today, feeling that it is a rare opportunity to raise a glass with Khan and talk about romantic affairs rather than military analysis.

Fu Qinghai thinks this is a good topic.

Just about to say a few words.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded deep in his mind:

[In the Warhammer 40K universe of the main world of Samsara, the slave war, a major plot event, has ended, and the Black Legion camp's plot line has won the final victory! 】

[Start calculating assimilation points...]

[Deduct assimilation points... 3012 points! 】

It's over, the slave war is actually over!

Fu Qinghai remained calm on the surface.

He just raised the glass slightly and took a sip.

Because this result did not surprise him.

The reincarnators could not change anything.

Abaddon eventually won.

It’s just...damn it, Qingshan Khan suffered his first defeat in his career.

This thing is a little bit worse.

Then the cold voice continued:

[About to enter the next reincarnation world, countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...]

Fu Qinghai's expression suddenly changed.

He immediately stood up, picked up his helmet and said:

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

After speaking, he strode quickly towards his personal arsenal.

The three women all looked stunned.

Xia Lu pursed her lips slightly, not happy.

Tracy thought, what else is important at this time?

Yolanda couldn't help but sigh that Khan was really busy with everything.

Su Zhenghao, the Chapter Master's personal weapons arsenal.

Fu Qinghai had just closed the white suitcase.

The countdown is over.

His vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness instantly.

His vision was pitch black, and his consciousness was wandering.

In a hazy state.

Only the low sound of the cello was heard.

A piece of magnificent music full of epic feeling was played.

Fu Qinghai suddenly felt something familiar.

…………

Thanks, check the points, _ cheong, Lazy Demon, Jie Jiao Great Emperor Tongtian Cult Leader, Ao Ao Xiao Ao, KHANTIE, several book friends rewarded.

1. I spent some time and reorganized the character cards and added a lot of new characters, including characters created by book friends. For each character, I carefully matched the avatar and some randomly found character covers. I just gave it a try. You can try it out. Upload it yourself based on your own character image.

2. Some book friends said that this book is invincible... This book is really not invincible. Just before it was put on the shelves, I discovered that many readers of online books now simply do not want to see the protagonist suffer a loss at all. Regardless of the causes and consequences, no matter the reason, as long as the protagonist suffers a loss, he will immediately shout loudly, "Destroy the intelligence! Decrease the intelligence! Forcibly suppress the intelligence!", compromising. Compromising, it becomes like this, giving people a feeling of invincibility.
