Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge - Chapter 421

c421 Battle barge

Although there were ten positions, counting Marianne, there were only seven.

Among the seven people, there were some whom Li Meng knew and some whom he had met for the first time.

At this point, the positions of the Imperial Senate were officially determined.

Every time Marianne said someone’s name, someone in the hall would half-kneel on the ground.

“Everyone, the empire is in a critical period now. Don’t let down the “King’s” trust in you. You have only one task, and that is to make the empire machine run at full speed. One day, the Terra Empire will once again rule the galaxy. This would not be possible without your efforts.”

Having said this, Marianne turned and looked at the “king” on the throne.

Facing Marian’s gaze, Li Meng nodded lightly.

Seeing this, Marianne turned around and faced everyone in the hall.

Then he continued: “You should handle the transfer of power on your own. Each department should be established as soon as possible. The Imperial Senate will be responsible for the government affairs of the empire. The Great Sage Donald will stay and others can leave.”

Hearing this, everyone stood up.

He made an eagle salute to the “king” on the throne, then took two steps back, turned around and left.

After glancing at the retreating figures of the five people, Li Meng looked at Donald at the foot of the steps.

“Donald, I give the Mechanicus the right to develop freely. You have only one mission, which is to strengthen the empire’s industrial capabilities at all costs. If necessary, I allow you to establish a skitarii to protect your forge world. The Dark Realm is very large. There are plenty of resources, just do what you want to do.”

Donald bent down deeply.

A mechanical, hoarse voice sounded from the hood.

“King, the Mechanicus will not disappoint you.”

With a wave of his hand, Li Meng said: “Go!”

Donald took two steps back before standing up straight, turned and left.

Imperial industry cannot rely on time gaps alone.

Li Meng has only one goal, which is to liberate the time fault and become a base for mass production of space warriors.

From now on, the Astra Militarum would only be responsible for guarding the Empire, while the Custodes, composed of Primaris Space Marines, would be responsible for foreign wars.

“Marian, the formation of the Forbidden Army is left to you. You can’t rush it now. Let’s set up the framework first. Also, the Forbidden Army is not as good as the Astra Militarum. The warships used by the Astra Militarum may not be suitable for the Forbidden Army. Therefore, it must be To design a battle barge suitable for Primaris Space Marines, it is up to you to negotiate with the Adeptus Mechanicus. I have only one request. Improve the automation of the battleship, reduce the number of people on board, and preferably completely eliminate the positions of ordinary people. , fully automated and handed over to wetware control.”

The Battle Barge is a Space Marine exclusive battleship.

It is a battlecruiser-class battleship.

Usually converted from warships of the same class.

In the post-Imperial Empire era, in order to limit the power of the Space Marines, the ship-to-ship combat of battle barges was much lower than that of battleships of the same class in the Imperial Navy, but in this era, the Custodes do not have this restriction.

The Battle Barge will become the Empire’s most powerful capital battleship.

It will have the strongest ship-borne weapons, more comprehensive functions, and stronger protective and offensive capabilities.

Each Battle Barge can be used as a Custodes mothership.

“yes!”

Lowering her head slightly, Marianne responded.

“Also, inform the Mechanicus to terminate the mass production plan for mecha units, and the technology can be retained.”

Through a series of actual combat simulation battles, in air combat, mechas can indeed defeat the enemy with their own mobility.

But mechas also have fatal weaknesses.

In a 1 vs 1 situation, mechas can often win easily.

But in a 3 vs. 1 or even 5 vs. 1 situation, the mecha will quickly lose.

Moreover, compared with ordinary aircraft, the contact area of ​​the mecha is wider, and no matter how strong the maneuverability is, it cannot make up for this.

Not to mention the defensive power, which is far lower than that of ordinary aircraft.

Not only that, due to its size, both the range and the amount of ammunition available, the refitability is far lower than that of ordinary aircraft.

The most important thing is that in the atmosphere, the power and maneuverability of the mecha will be greatly affected.

After much consideration, Li Meng gave up his plan to install mechas on a large scale.

Of course, the technology can be retained as a technical reserve for the future Mythical Legion.

Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng signaled to Marianne.

Marianne bowed in the aquila salute, then turned and left.

After glancing at Marianne’s leaving figure, Li Meng looked thoughtful.

Before activating the Star Torch, he still had some things to do and couldn’t rush.

Especially the two major threats, the omnic army and the Ork barbarians.

He couldn’t fall asleep in a hurry until he understood the situation of the battle.

As if thinking of something, Li Meng stood up and disappeared into a white light.

——

S-91999 star system.

As always, the huge star gate is suspended quietly in the dark starry sky,

Compared to the past, today seems to be different.

From the huge star gate, no more large or small aircraft appeared.

The giant creation on one side of the star gate seems to have taken shape.

From a distance, it looks like a conical spring.

Suddenly, the spherical battleship guarding the giant creation moved.

The engine at its rear sprayed out a blue sole.

The fleet moved forward slowly.

The giant creation is also shining with various colors of light, and the surrounding space is distorting.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared in the dark universe.

The spherical battleships jumped into the jump space one after another.

Accompanied by a dazzling flash, the giant creature also jumped into the jump space.

At the same time, on the other side, New Terra.

On the Temple, in the bedroom of the “King”.

On the golden sofa, Li Meng rested his head on Ellie’s legs with a comfortable look.

His legs were on Irene’s legs.

Irene’s two small hands were kneading his legs.

Marian worked four positions part-time, which was quite busy.

Bored, Li Meng could only call Ellie and Irene who were meditating to his side.

Suddenly, Li Meng, who was dozing with his eyes closed on Ellie’s legs, opened his eyes.

“King, what’s wrong?”

Seeing that the “King” suddenly opened his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, Ellie asked curiously.

With a slight smile, Li Meng stretched out his right hand and touched Ellie’s face.

“Nothing, just thinking it’s time to marry you home.”

Hearing this, Ellie and Irene blushed.

Irene even glanced at Li Meng secretly.

When Li Meng looked over, she quickly lowered her head again.

Looking at the two shy women, Li Meng smiled.

It has been more than ten years, and it is time to find an opportunity to marry all the women around him.

But when he thought of Mrs. Irina, the smile on Li Meng’s face disappeared again.

The disappearance of Ark 1 was too sudden, and there is still no news so far.

This is very strange, there is not only one astropath on Ark 1.

What happened that caused all the astropaths to die unexpectedly?
