Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 160: The Legend of the Fastest Galaxy

"What I want to know is how many times this conversation has happened between you and me."

In the space elevator leading to Dock No. 3, the White Scar warrior hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his doubts.

"Many, so many that I can hardly count them." Luo Xi answered honestly.

In addition to the White Scars Legion, he had already conducted a research report within the Ultramarines Legion, but the findings of the XIII Legion were not eye-catching.

What the Extreme Marines pursue is the ultimate quantity. They even feel that it is enough to only manufacture old-style warships that have been tested in war, and the construction of new warships can be postponed.

"Our extreme cousins ​​are like this. They follow the doctrine of the mean and never pursue extremes." Guntula even knew the thoughts of Confucius on ancient Earth, which made Luo Xi feel that this white scar warrior with a strong oriental style was more friendly.

"The Ultramarines' fleet ranks among the best among all the legions. They seem to know everything, but are not particularly proficient in anything." The White Scars' evaluation was very objective, and this is indeed the impression of the Ultramarines in the eyes of the Imperials.

"Also, what I want to say is that you who are in front of us now are not your real self, right?" Gantula said.

After some communication, he felt that he could get along well with this mortal advisor of Guilliman, but he felt that Roche's behavior of not coming in person was somewhat disrespectful.

"Yes, my real body is currently in a place with inconvenient transportation. I am communicating with you in the form of a projection."

"The reason why we can illuminate the subspace is related to the place where I am now."

Luo Xi did not point out his location. Fallows' information had to be kept secret until now, so he used vague words to get around it.

"I understand. You don't have to be embarrassed." White Scar seemed particularly insightful. After realizing that Luo Xi's current situation was some kind of secret, he immediately said that the guest should follow the host's wishes.

Gantula's flexible attitude made him very comfortable to deal with. At least he didn't have to worry about one answer like the Imperial Fists did.

The character of the Dornish heirs... everyone who has dealt with them knows it.

To say that they are stones in a toilet is to flatter them.

Roche brought this group of White Scars warriors to the designated location, a space large enough to accommodate a giant hive city with a diameter of more than 300 kilometers.

Walking on the metal ground with artificial gravity, looking up and forward, the core keel of a huge battleship with no visible beginning or end is being built.

"It is much larger than the Bladestorm. As for how much larger it is, it is a number that cannot be measured with the naked eye."

Such a thought flashed through the mind of White Scar Captain Gantula.

"This is the battleship being built in Dock No. 3. Its design concept is exactly what we discussed just now. In other words, its greatest feature is speed."

Gantula did not answer. He just leaned over the guardrail at the edge and stared blankly at the huge warship under construction.

The construction of a battleship begins with the keel. When the keel is completed, the hull will gradually take shape along the skeleton. Everything is like a living organism, from the inside to the outside, from bones to skin.

Although the battleship is only about one-third completed, everyone can see what it will look like in the future.

The overall silver-white hull perfectly conforms to the streamlined aesthetic, and is completely different from the Empire's big, black and rough warships that look sturdy and durable. The completed part of this battleship is extremely simple, without any unnecessary pendants.

The space elevator arrived at the exact tail end of the battleship. Those giant nozzles that looked like skyscrapers were neatly arranged and assembled according to a certain design. The Son of Chagatai could almost imagine how terrifying the propulsion speed would be when the engine was started at full power.

The speed of a warship sailing in the void is almost related to the output power of the engine. Space without resistance is the perfect place for galloping.

"Its material is..." Guntula stared at it for a moment before uttering a single word. The White Scar, the Khan's eagle, had only one thought when he saw the unfinished warship: no matter what, it belonged to the Sons of Chaghatai. Only they, the Star Hunters, could steer this incredibly swift vessel across the galaxy.

"It's not fine gold. Our fine gold is completely incapable of supporting this level of warship engineering. It is an alloy from the old days that was once widely used in the manufacture of warships."

Luo Xi said that the designed length of this battleship is more than one hundred kilometers, and God knows how much refined gold will be consumed to build its keel.

With the widespread popularity of adamantium armor, almost all the adamantium in the entire Five Hundred Worlds was invested in the massive project of casting power armor.

"Although this alloy is slightly inferior to fine gold, fortunately it can be obtained in large quantities and is suitable for use in warships."

"And it has slight self-repair properties. If it's just some minor damage, this alloy can self-repair to a certain extent."

And Gangtula was shocked by the terrifying number of one hundred kilometers.

Even the flagship of the Ultramarines, Macragge's Glory, was only twenty-six kilometers long. The flagship of the First Legion was slightly larger, but no more than thirty kilometers long.

This battleship, which is still under construction, is long enough to easily fit three Macragge's Glory.

"For such a huge warship, how fast do you want it to go?" said White Scar.

"According to our calculations, your Bladestorm will be nothing but dust in front of it. No battleship of the Empire can surpass it in speed."

The example Roche gave might not have been very polite to the White Scars, but it was true.

The giant antimatter engine it carries has an output power far exceeding that of the Blade Storm, and the two are not evenly matched in terms of magnitude.

If we want to go faster than this, we need to completely replace the current material engine, which is impossible for humans. If humans want to travel faster than the speed of light, they still need to rely on subspace to jump.

Roche didn't know whether these warships would be able to be replaced with new engines that could travel at superluminal speeds in the real universe one day, but at least before that day came, the warships from the Golden Age being built in Dock No. 3 were the fastest.

The White Scars warriors couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Since arriving in Macragge, neither the powerful Star-type power armor of the Ultramarines nor the famous battle planet Amaterra could move them so much.

But now, facing this warship that is almost flying, the blood of every son of Chagatai is boiling.

"It has not been officially named yet, but in terms of level, we all call it a planetary battleship, or what I personally call it: Thundercloud."

"This is not only because of its size, but also because the main gun it carries has the destructive power of the Extinction Order level."

"Just one shot can bring devastating damage to the enemies on the planet."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they couldn't tell whether it was an arrhythmia or an illusion in the brain.

This type of battleship is completely overwhelming for the Empire, and even the Queen of Glory-class battleship cannot pose a threat to it.

I'm afraid only the Shanzhen can guarantee that it can defeat this kind of planetary battleship.

Luo Xi continued to explain: "Of course, our positioning of this planetary battleship is not a main battleship. It is better at cutting the enemy with its speed advantage and using its maneuverability to backstab the enemy from an unexpected direction."

"Its main gun is only fatal to living creatures on the planet, but it cannot blow up a planet with one shot. That is the job of the void fortress and firepower ship being built in the dock next door."

"It will rely entirely on energy weapons for output. Macro cannons and other real-round weapons are not suitable for use at ultra-high speeds, but energy weapons do not have this concern. The warship can attack while maintaining full speed."
