Warhammer: Rebuilding the Golden Age Starting with Farming
Chapter 35 A Miracle of Great Strength
Andy locked himself in the core studio, staring at the high-energy biosignals on the hologram.
The location of the signal source is the biggest obstacle in the entire infiltration plan.
A circular underground drainage pipe with a diameter of only 2.2 meters.
This pipeline is located directly beneath the Helios factory, connecting to the underground acid river that leads to the outside world.
The environment is extremely harsh.
The pipe walls were covered with slippery moss and unidentified chemical deposits, and there was half a meter of corrosive water underfoot.
In such terrain, conventional tactics are completely ineffective against a high-level unit that is suspected to be a pureblood gene stealer.
The heavy logging gun was too long, and the feeding mechanism made it even more cumbersome.
In the narrow pipe, even turning the gun around was difficult.
If the enemy pounces from behind or above, Andy has no space to adjust his gun.
Moreover, the recoil of the heavy logging gun can cause serious displacement on slippery ground; Andy might slip into a ditch before he even finishes firing a burst.
As for flamethrowers?
Using a flamethrower in a relatively enclosed underground space will cause the flame to instantly consume the already scarce oxygen in the pipes.
Although an Iron Man doesn't need to breathe, an internal combustion engine needs oxygen. If the fuel sprayed out by a flamethrower doesn't have oxygen to help it burn, isn't it just... oil?
"What about melee combat?"
"How about melee combat?"
Andy glanced at the modified chainsaw at his waist.
Not at all.
The reaction speed of the pure-blooded gene stealers is optimized by the will of the Tyranid hive. Fighting such a thing hand-to-hand in the sewers is not only extremely risky, but once the hydraulic hoses are cut, Andy will become a piece of scrap metal to be slaughtered.
We need a special weapon.
A weapon that can be used in confined spaces, is extremely lethal, and does not damage the pipe structure.
At least it shouldn't be excessively destructive...
Andy connected to the STC database, entered his search criteria, and specifically looked for countermeasures against gene stealers.
[Search: Confined space/Highly mobile creature/Suppression weapon.]
The data stream scrolled rapidly, displaying several impressive-sounding names.
Gravity Crushing Gun
Principle: Emits gravitational waves to crush the target into a pulp.
Requirements: Anti-gravity coil, singularity generator.
Andy glanced at the scrap metal in the warehouse and passed.
[Single-molecule wire mesh emitter]
Principle: Launch an invisible net that cuts the target into pieces.
Requirements: Nanoscale textile machines, polymer filaments.
Andy glanced at the industrial rubber in his hand and passed.
[Neural Tearer]
Principle: Attack the target's nervous system, causing the brain to liquefy.
Needs: Psionic crystals, brainwave modulation chips.
Andy wanted to curse.
Does this STC database have some misunderstanding about the current industrial environment?
The solutions it offers are all top-of-the-line from the golden age, completely disregarding the reality that even screws are hard to come by in a situation like the bottom nest.
"Well, I guess I'll have to rely on myself."
Andy shut down those fancy blueprints.
He began to examine himself.
As a DAOT engineering superstar, what is his greatest advantage?
strength!
Pure and violent mechanical power!
His hydraulically driven right arm can generate several tons of thrust in an instant.
If used to throw objects, the initial velocity can easily exceed the speed of sound.
You could say Andy is a walking, human cannon.
If that's the case, why not create a weapon specifically for "throwing"?
An idea popped into Andy's mind.
A sphere.
Inside the circular pipe, the irregular bouncing of the sphere can cover all the blind spots.
But this can't be an ordinary iron ball; it needs to have some "seasoning."
Andy immediately started using the modeling software and began manually creating the blueprints.
Ten minutes later, a design called "Chainsaw Explosion Bead" was finalized.
The main structure is a hollow steel ball the size of a fist, made of high-carbon chromium bearing steel previously removed from the bearings of armored vehicles, which has extremely high hardness.
Andy designed six spiral grooves on the surface of the steel ball.
Inside the groove, folding blades are inlaid.
These blades are made from scrap shape memory alloy, making them incredibly sharp.
The key lies in its deployment mechanism.
Andy doesn't need complex motor control.
He utilized the most basic physical principle—centrifugal force.
When Andy throws the steel ball at supersonic speed, the ball will spin at high speed due to aerodynamics.
The immense centrifugal force instantly flits the blades folded in the grooves out and locks them in place.
At this point, the steel ball transforms into a miniature cutting machine flying at high speed.
It can not only smash enemy bones with kinetic energy, but also cut through thick chitinous carapaces with its rotating blades.
Inside the steel ball is Andy's newly refined high-energy double-base explosive.
A simple delayed firing pin fuse was installed in the center.
When the steel ball hits a target or wall, the fuse is activated and explodes after a 0.5-second delay.
This 0.5 seconds is crucial.
It ensures that after the steel ball hits the target, it can first cut through and penetrate into the flesh before exploding.
Or it might hit a wall, bounce off behind the enemy, and then explode.
Inside a pipe with a diameter of two meters, this thing is an unsolvable barrage of bullets.
If Andy throws fast enough and throws enough, the space in front of him will be filled with countless flying steel balls, fragments, and shockwaves.
I don't care if you can climb walls or not, I don't care if you can turn invisible.
Under such intense firepower, even the most agile enemy would have to submit!
What does "great effort produces miracles" mean?
Once the design is complete, construction will begin immediately.
Andy rushed into the workshop and started the universal automatic stamping machine.
Replace it with a hemispherical mold.
"Clang! Clang!"
The bearing steel plates were pressed into perfect hemispheres.
Andy sat down at the worktable and began assembling.
The explosives were loaded, the fuse was installed, the blades were embedded, and finally the two hemispheres were welded together.
This job is delicate, especially when loading explosives.
This yellow powder is extremely sensitive; it will explode at the slightest spark.
But Andy's hand was steady, without any tremor.
Two hours later.
Twenty heavy "chainsaw explosion beads" were neatly arranged on the table.
Their surfaces were coated with black anti-rust oil, and the cold glint of blades could be faintly seen through the spiral grooves.
Each one weighs approximately 5.5 kilograms.
Ordinary people can't even throw this thing; even if they did, it would only fly a few dozen meters.
But in Andy's hands, this is a high-tech shell with a range of over 100 meters.
Andy found a tactical belt made from a conveyor belt and hung the twenty iron balls on his waist.
It makes a rustling sound when you walk on it, and it's quite heavy.
In addition to these, Andy also brought along the refurbished chainsaw as a last line of defense.
As for firearms, he only carried two large-caliber automatic pistols with shortened barrels for finishing off opponents.
Finally, he put on the tan heavy-duty chemical protective suit.
This outfit has now become his signature look.
Although moving around inside the pipes is a bit cumbersome, it effectively blocks radiation and dirty water, and can also confuse the enemy to some extent.
After all, who would have thought that a seemingly bulky and clumsy man in yellow might be hiding a steel body capable of tearing apart tanks?
Gamma-9.
Andy walked out of the studio, his yellow robe looking somewhat mysterious under the lights.
"Prepare the car."
"We're going to the Acid Swamp now."
Gamma-9 was giving a speech to the newly formed Storm Squad, and they immediately stood at attention upon hearing the order.
"Yes, Sage!"
