The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

"Although this thing is just force-feedback power armor, it still has some basic functions, such as a small servo motor that enhances the user's strength and speed, and two small turbojet engines on the back. Under normal circumstances, these engines can provide a certain amount of thrust to reduce the user's weight and increase the user's agility. At critical moments, they can even allow the user to glide a short distance in the air."

"It doesn't sound like equipment for Space Marines, but as long as it can make the warriors more flexible, that's what we need now." Amidel nodded in approval of the power armor.

Leon confirmed Amidel's judgment. "Actually, I originally intended to give this thing to my good brother Fifty Yuan—the mortal auxiliary army of your time. But now it's good to change the size and use it for emergencies."

"Since this power armor has limited functions, it doesn't require a power pack to provide the energy it needs. Once the Evangelion battery is placed inside, it can provide power to the user for a longer period of time."

"He also has a matching electromagnetic rifle. I call it the C-14 Penetrator Electromagnetic Rifle. There is an integrated system on the gloves of the power armor. When you wear the power armor and hold the C-14 electromagnetic rifle, the electromagnetic rifle will be powered by the battery inside the power armor."

Leon patted the weapon beside him. "This weapon uses electromagnetic acceleration to fire the 8mm solid ammunition at supersonic speeds, and there are basically no requirements for the materials used to make the ammunition. According to the data, as long as the material strength of the ammunition meets the basic standards, this gun is more than enough to penetrate the weak parts of your power armor."

Although human technology in the StarCraft world is not as advanced as that in Warhammer, in a world where superluminal travel is possible, the level of human integration and intelligence is indeed much higher than that in Warhammer.

Even if the power armor used by the ten-dollar buddies was crudely made, everyone still had one. As for the ceramsite power armor used by Space Marines, even if it wasn't exquisitely crafted, it would take a Forge World decades to produce a batch of it. The difference was not something that outsiders could understand.

Although Leon could appreciate the beauty of mass production from these equipment, such a small caliber was obviously not in line with the Warhammer aesthetic that bigger is better. Armidale was obviously a traditional Warhammer aesthetics enthusiast, and he naturally felt uncomfortable with this kind of weapon.

"Isn't the 8mm too small?" Armidale asked. "Even if it penetrates, it won't cause fatal damage. How about using a bolter?"

"We have no choice in the current situation. The bolter may look bulky, but it's actually quite difficult to manufacture. Bolts, self-propelled and explosive projectiles, are not something I can create on this planet right now. Meanwhile, electromagnetic rifles and power armor can both be powered by a single battery."

Li Ang pointed out the problem: "Besides, you all know that the monsters on this planet are resistant to thermal weapons, so don't expect too much. Just deal some damage and hold them back. Just use it as it comes."

This statement convinced Armidale. He paused briefly and began to think about the team's future configuration: "How many days will it take you to build a set of power armor and weapons like this?"

"It takes about two days purely by hand. If you could provide me with more ready-made ceramic steel armor plates, it could be shortened even further. After all, finding ordinary metals and melting and forging them takes quite a bit of time."

But this thing isn't difficult to make. The small turbine engine on the back can be made from materials found in your discarded power packs. I'll draw a blueprint for you to follow, and you can also produce it at a slower pace than I can."

"What about the physical ammunition? It can't be processed directly with ceramic steel, right? We don't think we have the ability to melt ceramic steel and process it into bullets right now."

"This is simple."

Li Ang smiled mysteriously and pointed to the dragon bones he had brought over. "I've tested them. They're as strong as ceramic steel for ammunition, and the key parts are even as strong as fine gold. I just need to polish them into ammunition. It won't take much time."

Armidale examined the dragon bones carefully. "Are these the bones of the green-scaled lizard that could breathe fire and poison that we hunted?"

"To be more formal, I call her the female Rathalos. As for the female Rathalos partner you mentioned who's hunting you down, that's the male Rathalos, of course."

Li Ang corrected him, "And it's not just bones. If you had consciously collected the venom glands from the female fire dragons, I should have been able to come up with something else."

"That's what I want to remind you of. The monsters you hunt, or the little bugs you find everywhere in the bushes, all contain hidden treasures far beyond your imagination. As long as you can organize people to collect them, I can help you make a lot of props with miraculous effects."

"You claim you've never seen them before, yet you display an unusual familiarity with them." Armidale shook his head. "Father Leon, you're truly unfathomable."

"What's so hard to see? This is just the discernment I should have as a seasoned hunter."

"You're a hunter too...?"

"Yeah." Leon shrugged. "During the imagination training with the help of equipment."

"...?"

Ignoring the puzzled Amidel, Leon immediately began to plan the next steps: "Anyway, first arrange for thirteen warriors who can wear MK2 power armor. Equipped with melee weapons, they will become our main force in hunting those behemoths."

"Arrange about twenty more brothers with outstanding shooting skills. I will gradually prepare CMC force-feedback power armor and matching electromagnetic rifles for them. They will provide firepower and prop support to the brothers in close combat. Oh, and remember not to count yourself among those who need to wear power armor."

"Why? Are you saying the commander can't go to the battlefield?" Amidel's face was a little surprised. "I'm not one of you commanding sages who stand behind and command the Skitarii. It's our honor to personally participate in the battle!"

"No, I just have some extra plans for your power armor." Leon laughed. "But extra plans also require extra materials... Be prepared, Lieutenant Armidale. Our return to the starry sky won't be slow. And the first step begins with hunting the Boom Dragon!"

PS1: According to the data, the fifty-dollar brother's gun can really penetrate the space marine's power armor. Although the actual damage is another matter, the data comparison is amazing, right?

PS2: I looked at it for a long time and found that the small cold nuclear fusion reactor of the good brother is a technology that the imperial army cannot use. It is very annoying. The backpack of the space warrior is powered by the thermonuclear fusion reaction. Even if wearing fully enclosed armor, the radiation during long-term use will kill ordinary people other than space warriors (I don’t know how the crazy women use it)

PS3: Based on the data I could find, I compared the normal map king of Monster Hunter to the basic version of the patrol-class Knight Mech (the one with 5+ special protection against ranged enemies). But more important than combat power is not just letting monsters fight, but also putting them in the framework of Warhammer.

According to my idea, there will be a long storyline on the Canglang Star (about a dozen chapters). The main purpose is to explain these monsters in the original framework of Warhammer and lay some foreshadowing.

But that's all for today, I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

Chapter 15 Hunting the Boom Dragon (I)

It took Li Ang ten days to dismantle the damaged power backpacks and riveted off-the-shelf ceramic steel armor plates, and he finally equipped a five-man CMC power armor team.

With the official completion of the hydroelectric power station, the supply of electricity not only significantly improved the lives of the Astartes, but also liberated the power backpacks.

However, most of the power backpacks are still relying on their own solar energy collection devices to slowly store energy. Leon concentrated the energy of the power backpacks on three backpacks. If only the basic functions of the power armor are enabled, these three backpacks can maintain combat time for about an hour.

This wasn't a long time, a drop in the bucket compared to the long battles the Astartes had to endure in harsh environments. However, Leon's plan was simply to hunt the Boom Dragon, so an hour was more than enough for him.

The key to hunting the Brontosaurus lies in Leon, who has developed the same energy battery as EVA and maintained the three power swords.

Even in the 30th Millennium, where technology still existed, the power sword held a noble status as a weapon. This specialized weapon, often wielded only by Imperial officers, allowed the wielder to activate the weapon's energy cell upon contact, enveloping the blade in a deadly corona of destructive energy, thereby giving the wielder an advantage in close combat.

During their initial encounter with the Boom Dragon, Leon had already verified that the Plasma Pistol was indeed more effective against it than any other weapon, suggesting that the Boom Dragon here was just as vulnerable to lightning as the Boom Dragon in Monster Hunter. If that were the case, a slight tweak to the Power Sword's output would allow it to have the same counter-effect against the Boom Dragon.

Without the Power Sword, even with twice as many men armed, Leon would have to act with caution. However, it was this subtle restraint, present even across the series, that gave Leon the confidence to hunt the Dragonite with such a small force.

He was determined to use this team to test the true level of the monsters and also to test the strength of these Astartes.

Leon inspected the temporary dragon hunting team in front of him. The three leaders, who were holding power swords and wearing power armor, were led by Sergeant Arlo. It was said that they were all masters of swordsmanship with extraordinary skills in the company.

The five-man CMC power armor team that provides firepower and prop support is led by Lieutenant Vigan. Lieutenant Vigan leads the hunting team to hunt various small bird dragons as supplies for the camp all year round. It is difficult for anyone to be more professional than him in interpreting and commanding the hunting situation.

In addition to the basic power armor, these eight people also wore hunting tool bags made from the animal skins they hunted themselves and small bones from dragon species.

The hunting bags filled with props like flash bombs made of light insects and decorative monster bones were both practical tools and a display of hunting honor for them. And in Leon's opinion, their attire really did resemble a blend of the future and the past, like monster hunters.

But it was only a resemblance. After discovering that the female Rathalos' skeleton was as strong as refined ceramic steel, Leon had a basic understanding of the strength of the large dragons on this planet. Knowing this, he could only sigh at the superhuman hunters in Monster Hunter, who could actually hunt such powerful monsters single-handedly.

Fortunately, Leon had twice as many armed men as the hunters who had fired flares.

The Astartes' fighting style also meant that these superhuman warriors didn't rely too much on their individual strength; their secret to defeating humanity's enemies lay in teamwork. Even if the situation wasn't right, they could always take turns providing cover for their retreat.

Leon has full confidence in his team. Moreover, no matter how different the individual strengths are, certain hunting techniques are equally applicable.

After reviewing the team, Leon waved his hand, signaling for them to depart. Armidale and Adjutant Aybo were required to remain at the base and, under the guidance of the Servo Skull, continue construction according to the plans and blueprints Leon had laid out. Therefore, Leon assumed the overall command of this hunting party.

As this was a test hunt to verify the results, Leon didn't hold any departure ceremony. The entire team set out in solemn silence. They soon arrived at the location where the dragon had appeared before - the crashed escape ship and the power armor abandoned in the hasty evacuation were still there.

Li Ang first arranged for people to recover the power armor and small subspace engine that had been hidden previously, and then selected the venue for the planned decisive battle with Honglong, and then waited patiently for Honglong to appear.

The Honglong has never been a patient dragon. Nicknamed the Overlord of the Earth, they possess an unusually bloodthirsty and brutal nature. Even when their bellies are full, they will engage in many meaningless slaughters. Soon, watching the startled birds and herbivorous dragons fleeing in panic in the jungle, Leon had already determined the Honglong's location.

"Prepare to hunt!"

He shouted, then took his solar-powered battle axe and moved forward. Not long after, the dragon appeared before Leon.

The scarred and healing wound on his back showed that he was the same Rumble Dragon that had previously chased Leon, Amidel and the others. At this moment, the Rumble Dragon was holding down the corpse of a herbivorous dragon with its huge claws and feasting on the corpse without even raising its head.

This wasn't a typical hunting habit for a Honglong. Even after capturing its prey, it would still slaughter any prey it could catch within its sight. But seeing the wounds on its body that had begun to heal, Leon's eyes flashed with understanding.

“It’s replenishing the nutrients needed to heal the wound.”

Li Ang explained to the warriors of the Dragon Hunting Team, "It seems that the last plasma shot caused him considerable damage, but the wound probably no longer affects his combat effectiveness, so we still have to be cautious."

"Since I know that electric current will cause extra damage to it, I am confident in the outcome of this hunt." Sergeant Arlo swung his power sword into a sword flower. "Now, what do you say? Should we attack it while it's still eating?"

Li Ang shook his head. "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's still eating. It's actually very alert. Our power armor is not light. It must have sensed our approach from the vibrations of the earth. But it doesn't matter. Just proceed according to the original plan. If there are any changes in the situation, I will inform you through the communication."

Sergeant Arlo nodded, put on his helmet, and he and the other two wearing MK2 power armor spread out, surrounding the Boom Dragon in a circle, and then slowly approached the Boom Dragon in a triangular formation.

Perhaps realizing that it was surrounded, the Dragonite raised its head from its food, swung its tail angrily, and let out an impatient growl.

Sergeant Arlo remained unmoved and continued to advance with his two brothers, while Lieutenant Vigan and his firing squad also dispersed and each sought a favorable cover shooting position.

Sensing the threat, Honglong looked around, realizing that a fight was inevitable, and seemed to be looking for someone who would be easier to attack. When Honglong saw Li Ang, his eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils were full of blood red.

Of course it recognized this person... the despicable guy who had ambushed it and dealt it a cruel blow ten days ago!

The dragon raised its head and roared, then folded its wings together, exerted force with its feet, and rushed towards Li Ang regardless of anything!

But Leon, who had been prepared, disappeared into the jungle and gave instructions to everyone:

"The hunting of the dragon blast has officially begun!"

Chapter 16: Hunting the Boom Dragon (Part 2)

The charging Honglong like a large dump truck seemed unstoppable, but after all, the distance was too far. Leon, who had already escaped, did not get a chance to be caught by the Honglong's charge. In the end, Honglong's opening dragon car only broke a dozen trees and ended in failure.

Sergeant Arlo, who had been waiting for an opportunity, took advantage of the pause behind the Honglong car to move forward and slashed at the tendon connecting the Honglong's body and membrane wings!

The power sword, gleaming with a brilliant blue halo, easily tore through the dragon's armor and sliced ​​into its flesh. The dragon's muscles subconsciously tensed, trying to stem the flow of blood. But the residual energy from the power sword sizzled in the wound, charring it black. It was clear there was no chance of immediate healing.

The electric current also relieved the strength of Honglong's originally tense muscles, causing Honglong, who was using his front paws to turn himself, to stagger suddenly.

The damage caused by the power sword made the Boom Dragon tremble all over. It stared at Sergeant Arlo in disbelief, as if wondering why this little man who was being chased by it before had become a threat to it in the blink of an eye.

But as the overlord of the land, the reaction of the Honglong was not vague. It tightened its waist and then suddenly exerted strength again. The rotation of its body made its claws and dragon tail become powerful weapons to force back anyone who got close.

Sergeant Arlo did not dare to take the blow head-on and could only dodge and retreat to avoid the range of the roaring dragon's rotation.

The Honglong pursued the enemy with victory, and after finishing its rotation, it stopped at the position where Sergeant Arlo was dodging. Facing the Sergeant Arlo who had just rolled to avoid it, it opened its bloody mouth.

Sergeant Arlo adjusted his movements in time and narrowly avoided the first forward bite of the Honglong, but the Honglong took a step forward and bit again, vowing to bite Sergeant Arlo in two!

But Sergeant Arlo was not fighting alone. When Honglong was concentrating on biting Sergeant Arlo, the other two fighting brothers had already come up from behind Honglong. They each slashed Honglong's back with a sword.

The pained Honglong's force was greatly reduced, and its fangs finally missed Sergeant Arlo by an inch. However, Sergeant Arlo, who had dodged, was not in a hurry. He even had time to strike Honglong's head with his sword before turning and increasing the distance between them.

After launching a round of attacks, the three people dispersed tacitly and observed the status of the Honglong that had been hunted for a round.

"Sergeant Arlo, how's the hunting experience?" Leon asked over the comms device. "Is the power sword effective?"

"The monomolecular blade can break through its scales, and the energy field on the power sword can also prevent wound healing and cause it to become slightly stiff. However, its counterattack is very fierce, and there is rarely time to inflict more damage to it."

Sergeant Arlo replied, his tone sounding confident. "But as long as I can inflict damage, the rest is just a matter of time. I'm confident I can complete the hunt before my power armor runs out of energy."

"Then proceed as planned." Leon nodded. He was collecting data from the battle between the Boom Dragon and the Astartes from a distance, while also making arrangements to prevent the Boom Dragon from escaping. "Before the Boom Dragon becomes enraged, lead it to the battle site we've decided on earlier."

Sergeant Arlo confirmed Leon's order and directed his two other brothers to retreat in unison. Although Honglong didn't know what these villains were doing, it didn't understand what it meant to lure the enemy deeper, nor did it understand what it meant to protect itself.

Aroused by its previous wound, it now glared at the Astartes, who primarily dodged, fighting and retreating. The battleground was shifted to the foot of a cliff in this process of pursuit and being pursued.

Sergeant Arlo stood with his back to the cliff, taking a stance in front of the dragon. He waved his sword provocatively and raised his middle finger.

It turns out that contempt can be easily understood even across races. Although Honglong may not understand the meaning of the middle finger, he was clearly angered by the contemptuous aura of Sergeant Arlo.

Hong Long, who always relied on his dragon chariot to win the battle, once again took up his stance and roared as he began to charge at Sergeant Arlo. But Sergeant Arlo was no novice. He dodged Hong Long's dragon chariot with a graceful sidestep and even raised his sword to cut a thin line of blood along Hong Long's neck.

Seeing that the first move failed, Honglong wanted to change direction and charge a second time, but now it was facing a cliff. How could Leon miss this opportunity?

Seeing that Honglong had not yet completely stopped its charge, Li Ang decisively gave the order.

"Flash bomb, fire!" he shouted in the communication.

The CMC power armor team responsible for long-range fire support had been sitting still. After receiving Leon's order, they took out flash bombs made from light insects from their leather hunting bags.

This firefly-like creature, previously used only as a natural light source, was transformed into a crude flash bomb by Li Ang after his arrival. This was the first time it was used in actual combat, with power comparable to modern technology, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

When the flashbang was launched from the simple launcher into the path of the Dragon, the Dragon, completely unaware of what a flashbang was, made no move to dodge. When the flashbang exploded, emitting a dazzling light, the Astartes instinctively turned their backs to avoid it, but the Dragon was the only one who was hit hard.

Thrilled by the bright light and the loud noise, the Honglong suddenly lost its sense of direction. Without control of its body, it couldn't even stop its charge toward the cliff, let alone turn the dragon cart. It crashed into the cliff with such force that the entire cliff shook. Huge rocks fell, hitting the Honglong, causing it to howl in pain.

Leon didn't need to remind them of such a good opportunity. Sergeant Arlo and his three companions immediately stepped forward and slashed wildly at the dragon, which hadn't yet pulled its head out of the cave it had created. At this moment, they didn't need any skills, just to inflict as many wounds on the dragon's tail and back as possible.

The CMC team, which had been hiding themselves, no longer hid themselves under the leadership of Lieutenant Vigan. Taking advantage of the unexpected flash bomb, they held their C-14 Penetrator electromagnetic rifles and unscrupulously poured their firepower onto the Boom Dragon.

Although the creatures on this planet are resistant to thermal weapons, Lieutenant Vigan and his men were shooting at wounds that had been cut by the power sword and could not heal. The dense solid bullets were shot into the already torn body of the Boom Dragon at high speed, further aggravating the Boom Dragon's injuries.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Dragon was stunned by the flashbang, the hunting team had already inflicted considerable damage on it. However, knowing the Dragon's tough skin and flesh, Leon knew that this level of attack would not truly end the hunt.

Looking at the Honglong who had finally recovered from the shock of the flash bomb and pulled its head out of the rock wall, Leon narrowed his eyes after keenly observing that the Honglong's head and forelimbs began to turn blood red, knowing that this hunt had entered the final stage.

The final outcome between them and Honglong will be decided in the remaining few minutes!

Chapter 17: Hunting the Boom Dragon (Part 3)

"The Dragonite has entered a violent state. Pay attention to its roar and dodge!"

Leon reminded them loudly over the comms. He had previously instructed the Astartes on how to deal with a raging dragon. But theories don't always solve all problems.

Seeing the enraged Boom Dragon raise its neck and let out a deafening roar, Sergeant Arlo and his three companions immediately locked the hearing systems of their power armors, trying to block out any external sounds.

But the roar of the Boom Dragon was not a simple sound. This roar, which could be transmitted to dozens of kilometers away, had already created a wave of air that seemed to be real. The huge energy hit the power armor along the sound waves, forcing the extraordinary warriors, who weighed nearly half a ton in their power armor, to retreat again and again.
