From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 448

The “Pacific Rim” universe numbered “Zero Six” immediately entered a state of full “mobilization” after learning that the Thousand Sons Legion needed to mobilize six companies and travel to six different universes.

From a position about 20,000 kilometers away from the surface, looking towards Earth Zero-6, one can directly observe that this mother planet, which was originally extremely polluted due to the invasion of alien forces and was extremely harmful to the human environment, has been greatly improved. magnitude improvement.

Although the earth’s surface is still covered by a relatively thick atmosphere, through the clouds, blue and green, representing hope and vitality, are trying to spread across the entire Earth Zero-6 again.

The land is no longer as dry and barren as it once was.

The vast area near the south is covered with grasslands and forests, and is once again full of life.

The rivers that had been eroded by acid rain in the past gradually became clearer. Before the ocean contrast space door was opened, it also changed from turbid gray to deep blue, faintly shining with a tranquil luster.

Antarctica is the most eye-catching part of this ecological reconstruction process.

Antarctica, originally covered with endless ice sheets, has become a true “oasis”

There are freshwater lakes dotted here and there, dense woodlands stretching to the horizon, and even vast grasslands.

All the improvements are due to the full power operation of several atmospheric environment processors.

In addition, engineers from the Engineering Department also deployed various advanced equipment to treat pollutants in the air and water sources, regulate various resources, and repair the damaged crust. Earth 06 was finally able to recover from its former “purgatory” state.

Of course, with the naked eye, it is impossible to observe the pure flower that looks like a crystal peony.

They are also the “heroes” who transform and repair Earth Zero-6.

In addition to large-scale equipment, countless robots are also operating silently in various places, jointly building a new ecological cycle system.

Today’s Earth 06 is no longer a devastated wasteland after the war, but a planet that breeds vitality.

If you look a little closer to the surface, you can clearly see the land of the former Peruvian region, which is covered by a real “steel jungle”.

Dense machinery and factories are spread across the land, forming a spectacular industrial scene. Even outside the atmosphere, you can directly see the scattered and well-organized factories.

Various industrial facilities are operating efficiently and orderly, with robotic arms and automated devices shuttling back and forth, and lights flashing on the production lines, indicating that this “abandoned” and “purgatory” human home planet has been completely transformed into a solid backing for the empire. .

In this prosperous “industrial jungle”, the most eye-catching thing is the “frontline base” established in the former city of Lima. It is not only a strategic center, but also an important transportation hub.

After all, the space gate connecting to the main universe is located in the center of Lima City.

Since Magnus and the Thousand Sons Legion “inherited” the heavy industry system of Universe 06, it has become one of the industrial centers of the empire. Its production scale is second only to the main universe Mars, and has almost reached the level of “Forge World”. ” standard.

The Thousand Sons Legion “cultivated deeply” on this land, combining local and various universe resources, as well as imperial technology, to greatly improve production efficiency.

Moreover, Project Titan has also been verified in the universe of “Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters”.

As soon as the actual combat data was obtained, “Zero Six Foundry” quickly invested in improving the Titan body, and at the same time further promoted the development and improvement of the “Knight” project.

The so-called “Knight” is actually a streamlined version of the Titan.

Although it has less firepower, thinner armor, and a relatively smaller size, it is more maneuverable.

The Knight’s body is about twenty meters tall. Compared with traditional combat mechas such as Cyclops and AMP mechas, it has powerful armed capabilities.

It can be equipped with missile launch systems, Gauss cannons, plasma cannons, and a variety of small-caliber shipborne weapons to flexibly respond to the needs of different battlefield environments.

Both Knights and Titans use consciousness transmission technology. The driver does not need to enter the body directly, but can remotely control the mecha through a consciousness link.

This not only ensures that the driver will not be subject to communication interference or environmental shielding, but can still maintain precise control of the mecha even under severe battlefield conditions.

This allows Titans and Knights who successfully board the Legion battleship to be equipped with disposable heat shields and coordinate with the Astartes and Helltroopers to simultaneously airdrop to the surface.

With the help of remote control technology, the driver remains in a safe position during landing and throughout the battle.

Unless the pilots actively cut off the conscious connection with their respective mechas, this will also greatly ensure the safety of the pilots and avoid the risk of direct casualties on the battlefield to the greatest extent.

The maturity of the “Knight” and “Titan” projects has brought more flexible configurations to the Empire’s airborne troops, which not only improves the firepower coverage of the battlefield, but also reduces the losses of one’s own personnel.

Although the machines of Titans and Knights are expensive to build, compared with the Imperial warriors who possess souls and consciousness, the mechas are ultimately lifeless creations, and their value in the eyes of the Empire is far from being able to “compete” with the living warriors.

Currently, Zero-Six Foundry has received “huge” orders from a total of six legions, including the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, and Dark Angels.

According to the plan, by the end of this year, the foundry will deliver 90 Titan-class mechas and 600 Knight-class mechas to these legions.

The huge production demand has brought the operating efficiency of the entire Earth Zero-6 to a new peak.

However, the Zero-6 Space Gate at this moment has caused an unprecedented traffic “peak period” since the integration.

A large number of battleships, transport boats, and maglev trains loaded with supplies, weapons, and personnel are passing through the space gate in an orderly manner, heading to different universes.

Facing the cross-universe mobilization of such a huge military force, large warships with width and height exceeding 700 meters require special treatment by the Engineering Department.

That is, engineers first dismantle these large warships, then transport the disassembled components to various frontline bases via transport boats and trains, and then the accompanying engineering teams and local large-scale robotic arms gradually complete the reassembly.

Such a complex operation not only demonstrates the superb technology of the Engineering Department, but also makes this huge mobilization of military power extremely spectacular.

This large-scale mobilization of military power quickly attracted the attention and onlookers of the residents of the nearby empire.

Although most residents of Lima usually live in underground cities to ensure that normal life, rest and entertainment are not disturbed by the surface environment, there are still many towering mega-structures rising from the surface, providing residents with relatively safe places to live. Viewing platform.

This allows local residents in the giant building to witness the army crossing the space gate without wearing any protective clothing or filter masks. They only need to wear casual clothes.

For residents who love the military, this is an excellent shooting opportunity.

Some military fans even put on lightweight filter masks and took the initiative to go to the outside of the warning line on the surface to record this shocking scene with their cameras.

Seeing the gathering of the imperial army and the momentum of the cross-universe battle, many people’s eyes were filled with pride, and every action of the army seemed to remind them of the empire’s power and unshakable power.

However, these videos and images about the Legion’s movements can only be circulated to a limited extent on the network within the “Zero-6” universe for the time being.

Smart and stupid AIs have been ordered to strictly monitor all relevant discussions to ensure that sensitive information about army mobilization will not be leaked.

This type of protective measures is not simply blocking, but intervening in the spread of potentially risky content in real time through in-depth behavioral analysis and tracking and tracking of information flows.

Any discussions, images or videos involving military operations are quickly intercepted or partially blurred under the fine control of AI to prevent key content from leaking out of Zero-6 Universe.

It can be said that the netizens of Zero Six can still “surf the Internet” and “play ranked games”, but only within the “Zero Six” universe and cannot contact the outside universe for the time being.

Even the ruins base that is the hub of the empire temporarily prohibits any unofficial personnel from entering or leaving the “Zero-6” universe.

Only after the Thousand Sons Legion has completed its deployment and mobilization, and has confirmed contact and confrontation with the forces of Chaos, will relevant discussions be gradually lifted while ensuring safety.

Images and videos will also be released on a limited basis at that time, so that people and military fans in other regions of the empire can obtain an overview of the war front.

Moreover, from the beginning of the establishment of the Empire to the promulgation of the “Human Code”, the Empire did not deliberately conceal the existence of subspace and chaotic forces from the people.

Compared with the harsh policies of the “Warhammer 40k” universe, the current human empire adopts a more “open” control method.

In the “Warhammer 40k” universe, knowing the truth about Chaos will definitely bring mental danger. Once any information about the subspace is leaked, it may cause countless ordinary people to fall into the abyss of Chaos. Therefore, the Empire has adopted extremely strict censorship and Cleaning measures.

Facing the endless corruption and traps of Chaos, as well as the “stew”-like galactic environment, ignorance has become a different kind of blessing.

The empire led by Sui Yang adopted a different strategy.

Through the Human Code, which contains pure spiritual energy, and encourages the people to maintain respect and loyalty to the Emperor and the Primarch, the general population of the Empire also has the ability to resist the whispers of Chaos and spiritual bewitchment.

It is the layers of protection that make ordinary people safer and less susceptible to corruption, unless they are subject to some kind of targeted subspace curse or consciousness erosion.

Among the people with high psychic potential, the forces of chaos may still find some breakthrough points, but it is usually difficult to obtain them easily, and more complex methods are required to control them.

As the core of the Empire, the Astartes are more immune to the “conventional” corruption of Chaos due to the gene seeds originated from Sui Yang implanted in their bodies. Their wills and bodies are especially vulnerable when facing the spiritual temptation of Chaos. Tenacity.

Despite this, the Astartes are not completely invulnerable. When subjected to physical erosion or coming into contact with some particularly powerful Chaos entities, the Astartes’ souls will still be devoured by demons, and their bodies will be twisted into deformed slaves. .

Therefore, for the Astartes, the best defense is not ignorance, but a clear understanding of the nature of chaos, and staying alert in battle and faith.

The first legion to know the nature of Chaos was the Thousand Sons, who were extremely talented in spiritual powers.

Even if Sui Yang did not capture the figure of the Sons of Thousands of Sores in the shattered scene of [Foresight], he would send the Sons of Thousands of Sores to deal with this Chaos invasion.

In addition to their superior psychic acuity and understanding of the power of the Warp, another reason is that the Thousand Sons do not often fight among all the legions of the Empire, and many companies have been “idle” for many years.

Therefore, it is suitable for large-scale mobilization, and it can also allow the Thousand Sons to obtain corresponding military exploits.

As for the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, Magnus, he led the company guards and used the exclusive train built for their “giant size” to cross two space gates in succession and arrived at the “Avatar” universe numbered “02”.

On the side of Pandora where the space gate is located;

Although this terrestrial planet, which is originally habitable, has also deployed an atmospheric environment processor, its initial operating efficiency is far inferior to those in “Pacific Rim”.

Before the Biological Department of Atlas collects all the species samples on Pandora, the imperial officials will try their best to maintain the balance of the ecological environment.

In the past, the imperial officials wanted the Biological Department to use genetics and nanotechnology to make the native species of Pandora quickly adapt to the human living environment, and then the Engineering Department would fully operate the atmospheric environment processor.

In this way, the native species of the planet can be preserved, and they can gradually approach the ecological standards for human habitation.

As a habitable planet similar to the Earth, Pandora has unparalleled ecological diversity and rich species distribution, which can be regarded as one of the extremely rare planets in the multiverse.

Because of this, Pandora was treated with caution during the development and construction process to promote adaptive development while maintaining its natural ecology.

However, after the Pure Flower was planted on the surface of Pandora, local animals, plants, and even microorganisms began to actively adapt to human ecological standards.

At the same time, the Pure Flower, combined with the atmospheric environment processor, is enough to transform Pandora into a “paradise” that is more habitable than the Earth in the next four years.

The environment of Earth 06 has been greatly improved, which is also directly related to the Pure Flower.

At this time, the exclusive train carrying the Primarch and the Honor Guard had already crossed the space gate at the front-line base and sped along the elevated track towards a city comparable to New Accra in size.

“.”

Sitting in the train, Magnus, dressed in formal clothes, frowned slightly, staring at the natural scenery passing by quickly, and there seemed to be a hint of memory in his eyes.

After a while, he felt the train slowing down until it stopped.

Then, Magnus stood up and, escorted by a group of Honor Guards equipped with Terminator power armor, left the train and stepped onto the platform.

And the atmosphere on the platform suddenly became solemn and dignified because of his arrival.

However, a familiar shout full of enthusiasm suddenly rang out:

“Hahaha! Long time no see, my brother!”
