"But the Imperials here may not know what it is..."
"This is an integral part of the STC, and it is a critical storage component."
Just as the Hammer guys were discussing and trying to figure out what this thing with a weird style of painting was, Big E's voice suddenly sounded in the bridge, revealing the nature of this thing, which also brought stunned expressions to the Hammer guys.
"Wait? STC?"
"Is this thing an STC? STC emotions look like this?"
"STC is not necessarily the fully automated production line you imagine. In fact, most of the STCs found by the Empire are such data records. But what's interesting is that in the timeline I know, no STC has ever been found in the Morton Hess galaxy."
As if he had discovered the blind spot in the knowledge of the Hammer guys, Big E was very happy to talk to them and gave them a detailed introduction to the concept of STC. After looking at the more than 30 different STCs that Big E used as examples, the Hammer guys finally had a reliable understanding of STC, which was originally a very general concept.
"So, what is the value of this STC part...?"
"I don't know. It might be a toaster, or a better and newer weapon. It might bring a new way of life or warfare to the people of the Empire. Or it might be nothing. Let me tell you. You transfer its data to the Queen of Glory, and I'll analyze it. This thing is probably an STC for producing something. If it's valuable, I'll give all of you a satisfactory price as an extra reward for your discovery this time."
Since he was not sure whether this STC was valuable to the Empire, Big E hesitated for a few seconds and gave the Hammers an answer that there might not be a reward. Knowing that Big E was rich but would not spend money carelessly, the Hammers discussed it for a while and then agreed.
"can."
—————————————In Big E analysis——————————————————
"I'm sorry, Big E, I think I'm a little hard of hearing, can you explain this STC again?"
Since Pai Gu had deciphered the data in the STC storage device perfectly, Big E used some tricks to grasp the key words in the data and easily determined what the STC was for. However, since a lot of 40K terms were needed to explain the use of the STC, Big E thought about it and used simple desktop rules to roughly explain the function of the STC. Naturally, the Hammers who heard about the effect of the STC were all blown away.
"Laser weapons deal +1 damage unconditionally. This is the worst possible effect. If we can find all its related parts, there may be other effects. For example, we can optimize the design of some laser weapons."
Big E's 'calm' answer - in fact, after he confirmed the effect of this STC, he was stunned for a few tenths of a second - in the past ten thousand years, the Empire has found many STCs, but there are really too few such unreasonable general-purpose STCs that are almost like panaceas!
"Are you sure it's all laser weapons, not just one or a few?"
"I can't be wrong."
"That......?"
"For this STC storage device alone, I can give each of you a 2000-point fine coating unit. If you find all the parts of this STC, I can give each of you a -point fine coating unit. I have confirmed that this STC is complete from the perspective of the Marco world - how do you think it is?"
Knowing what the Hammers meant, Big E didn't say much and generously put forward the conditions. Seeing Big E's decisiveness, the Hammers also patted their chests collectively.
"No problem! Leave it to us, Big E!"
———————————The dividing line of the Balaton world————————————————
Gary Wolf stood in the shadow of a corner, silently watching the vehicles taking off and landing in the distance. After getting up from the hospital bed and being allowed to do some routine training by his pharmacist, Gary found that he no longer liked to rush.
The feeling of charging into battle actually gave me an inexplicable liking for stealth operations?
Just as the Galilean Wolf was adjusting his breathing and trying to blend into the shadows as best as possible, the sound of light, non-human footsteps reached his ears. Without turning around, the Galilean Wolf knew that the Eldar were visiting.
"Tell me, Ada, what's the matter?"
The Galil Wolf, who had already roughly understood the style of this strange and tough Ada, turned around and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from. As soon as he finished speaking, an Ada warrior appeared in front of him at the right time.
"One of our warriors landed on the world you call Marco because of a problem with the Webway. There, after our warriors fought with the Orks, they discovered something that was suspected to be related to what you call STC."
"???!!!!!!"
The expression of the Galilean Wolf, who had never expected that Ada would bring him such news, was stunned for a second, and then his expression became serious.
"why?"
"The prophecy of Prophet Liang is still the most important thing for our race to follow in this galaxy - in this galaxy, our destinies are one."
"Yeah."
Hearing the name of the old friend, certain memories came back to the mind of the Galilean Wolf. After a few seconds of silence, the Astartes man from the Wolf Group spoke.
"Come on, follow me to meet the other members of the group. Then, we'll go talk to those people from the Mechanicus - if what your people found is indeed related to the STC, then we'll have to make some modifications to the next stage of our operations!"
56. Battle of Marco - Special Forces
"STC?? There is STC in the Marco world??"
In the Imperial Military Conference Room in Balaton, Lord Maldiush stared with his eyes wide open at the Gali Wolf sitting opposite him, and the others who were qualified to enter the conference room also had expressions of surprise or disbelief on their faces after the Gali Wolf opened his mouth - well, there was absolutely no flaw in their expressions.
"Praise Om Messiah - I will personally go to the world of Marko to bring the great and honorable STC back to the embrace of the empire. Therefore, in the next half month, 80% of the transportation capacity of Balaton and Sosekhi will be transferred to serve Marko, and the troops under my command will temporarily withdraw from the sequence of attacking the world of Udal."
Without waiting for Gali Wolf to give an answer to Castle Lord Maldiush, Egg, who walked into the conference room with Gali Wolf, couldn't wait to say very eagerly that before recovering this STC, everything under his command would serve this matter. As for the strategy for Udal?
In the eyes of a normal oil man, is that matter as important as STC?
"Bishop Egger, without your help, our progress in conquering Udal will be seriously delayed, which is difficult for the Empire to accept."
After hearing what Egg said, the Hammer guys who had already arranged the script immediately took advantage of the situation and asked Liang Feifan's Imperial Fist Captain to speak, and Gu also immediately took out a bunch of data to "prove" that without the continuous support of the Oil guys, there would be considerable problems in the Udal strategy.
"I have calculated this, so I will only withdraw my troops. I will hand over the rest of the resources to the Iron Hands. They can make perfect use of the resources we leave behind and provide precise support for the Empire's attack."
Data jumped in the eyes of the egg bishop, and he brought out a large number of things that had been prepared long ago. After realizing that this oil man bishop was not like other oil men who heard the STC and immediately sent all their resources to F2A without thinking twice, but instead left a lot of room for the empire, the sadness in the eyes of the Lord of Maldius and Gary was slightly dissipated.
but.....
"Iron Hands thanks you for your trust, Bishop. But according to calculations, if we use 10% of our transport capacity to go to Marco in the next half month, our attack on Udal will still be delayed by 11 days, 24 hours and minutes. According to the latest intelligence, an extremely abnormal subspace spectrum has appeared on Udal. We have enough reason to suspect that something is happening on Udal."
The Iron Father of Iron Hands, the sister political commissar, stood up and began to speak according to the script. Naturally, his speech made the Lord of Maldiush Castle and the Gallic Wolf frown slightly again - although the sister political commissar did not say it explicitly, could Cardia and the Astartes of the Wolf Group not know what the Iron Father wanted to express?
"However, these transport capabilities are very necessary. Without them, I cannot bring all my troops to Marco."
The egg immediately refuted with a relentless tone.
"The Empire is also very..."
"Cough-cough-"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Gu immediately coughed twice, interrupting the "debate that was about to heat up", and turned his gaze to the Galactic Wolf.
"I suddenly remembered something. The Eldar said that one of their people took the wrong webway and landed in Marco?"
"Yes--wait? Sergeant Gu, what do you mean?"
The Galilean wolf immediately understood what Gu meant.
"Since the Aidas are willing to share STC intelligence with us, I think we have a chance to borrow it.
Use their webway to teleport again - if we can use the webway to reach the world of Marco, then the problem is solved."
"Is this okay?"
While Liang Feifan secretly arranged his Aida chess piece to put the door, he also appropriately expressed his concerns using the captain of the Imperial Fist.
"If it doesn't work, we'll come back and discuss the transportation capacity. If it does, we'll directly arrange a special forces team to go with the Mechanicus to recapture the STC - I'll negotiate with those Aida personally."
Gu controlled his descended body and stood up while saying this. The Galilean Wolf seemed to think for a moment and then stood up as well.
"I will go with you."
————————————Strange dividing line————————————————
Early in the morning, at the warehouse entrance at the Marco PDF concentration area.
Nobe was holding a bowl of something that looked like soup, bathing in the morning sun, sitting on a small bench at the door, scooping up food with a spoon and putting it into his mouth again and again with an expressionless face. Near him, several people who had previously served as leaders of other resistance teams were also squatting or standing, eating breakfast in silence - although they had the possibility of sleeping peacefully at night during this period, and they could easily fill their stomachs in the foreseeable future. However, all this was due to the shadow of the alien's "kindness" that lingered in the hearts of these imperial people who experienced such a thing for the first time, and it was lingering.
Will the aliens really return this world to the Empire? If the aliens do not fulfill their promise, then have I betrayed the Empire? If my behavior is a betrayal, then after the Empire retakes this world, will I be used as a negative example and become the best "teaching material" to warn the new residents of this world? According to the laws of the Empire, this is almost inevitable, so is the peace they are enjoying now the last peace? [Welcome to join the monthly free group of the Night Raid]:.6;9?.4?:9.,3:""6!，1:3";5?."
Of course, everyone who had served as a commander, including Noble, knew that such troubles were only experienced by those who knew something about some things. After a few days of peaceful life, other people - even Noble's deputy - actually became slack to varying degrees. And Noble and others had no intention of spreading such troubles to them. After all, after being displaced on the line between life and death for so long, being able to take a break like this was really the best reward for their subordinates.
Just as Nobel frowned slightly, scraped the last bit of food in the bowl and put it into his mouth, a slight electric sound suddenly came into his ears. Knowing that this meant someone was contacting him, Nobel quickly put down the bowl, held his ear with his right hand, and listened carefully.
The next moment, Nobe, who heard the shouting voice clearly in the earphone, froze in expression, and his heart was beating so fast that he even thought he could hear the voice.
".....Angels of Death! It's the Angels of Death! We are saved! Our world is saved!"
57. Battle of Marco - Negotiation with the Alien
Will I ever have the chance to meet the Emperor's Angel of Death in this lifetime?
As a PDF who has never left his home planet, when Marko was still a peaceful agricultural world before Nobe, he would occasionally brag, imagine, and yearn with his friends after dinner. The Emperor's Angel of Death is the existence that these PDFs like to discuss the most - although the retired veterans of the Astra Militarum who drink with them always mention to them that it is an honor to see the Emperor's Angel of Death, but seeing the Emperor's Angel of Death in non-peaceful circumstances also means stepping into a battlefield where mortals are in danger of death - but young people are always full of energy.
And now, facing the Ultramarines sitting in front of him, Nobe, who had imagined this scene hundreds of times, suddenly found that the words he had laughed about with his friends before had dissipated in his mind, and the only emotion he could feel was reverence - facing such a demigod who was about to save his world from danger, how could a mortal not admire him, how could a mortal not be grateful for the grace of the Emperor?
"Relax, mortal. We already know about your bravery. Now, I just want to learn more information."
Holding a stack of information, Gu, who was actually one of the "culprits" of the current situation in the Marco world, controlled his descended body and looked at Nobe, who was sitting in front of him at a loss, and spoke in an official tone. Hearing the words of the Emperor's angel of death being so gentle, Nobe felt a little lost.
"Dear Angel of Death, we are just... just..."
"Don't be so nervous, mortal, calm your breathing and organize the things you will report to me later. However, before I start chatting with you..."
Gu said this as he gently pushed a piece of paper in front of Nobe, with a more amiable smile on his face.
"Fill out a form first?"
————————————HappyGu and PDF are chatting————————————————
"If what these mortals say is true, then the situation in the Marco world is more confusing and complicated than we previously estimated."
In 'seriously
'After talking to several PDFs one by one and encouraging them to persevere and letting them relax, Gu brought a lot of intelligence information and found the Galilean Wolf. He 'very seriously' shared the intelligence of this world with him. Naturally, when the Galilean Wolf heard that in this world, in addition to the greenskins crawling all over the ground, there were also ribs jumping around, he immediately fell into deep thought.
"Yes, this almost means that our scheduled combat plan has to be completely rewritten - we can't let down our guard against these aliens just because they promised the mortals that 'this world will return to the Empire' and brought these mortals to a safe zone."
Guu seriously began to choreograph silence using a very Astartes thought process. Of course, Gary, who had no idea that the only real enemy in Marco's world was the greenskin, nodded in agreement.
"You are right, Brother Gu. Almost all aliens are not trustworthy. Therefore, we have to consider the worst possibility. For example, these mortals themselves are traps dug for us by the aliens."
"This is undoubtedly the worst possibility, but based on my little knowledge of this alien creature called the Necrons, I am more inclined to believe that they are - Bishop Egg, what's the matter?"
Gu, who had successfully led the Galilean wolf into a small pit, continued to struggle with the wild wolf while secretly sending a message to Ji Dan. In less than three seconds, the communication symbol representing "Bishop Egg" appeared on the communication device.
"We have encountered an alien and are in the process of a standoff."
————————————A few minutes later——————————————
"...Let us reiterate once again that the Dynasty has no interest in your world. The Dynasty's goal is one and only one mutant insect. The Dynasty's goal does not conflict with yours - if you insist on being hostile to us, the Dynasty will not mind annihilating you all together."
When Galilee Wolf led his team and Gu's team to the place where the Egg chess piece and the Silent chess piece were "confronting each other", the first thing he heard was the extremely "arrogant" words spoken in High Gothic by the Silent chess piece - naturally, Galilee Wolf's inner anger was aroused by these contemptuous words.
However, before the Gallic Wolf could do anything out of anger, Gu, who had anticipated the mentality of the Wolf Group Astartes, raised his hand to stop him and spoke in a deep voice.
"I am as angry as you are, my battle brother, but don't forget that we have an important mission in this world. As long as these aliens do not prevent us from recovering the STC, then we can give them some tolerance strategically. Moreover, I am a little concerned about a word these aliens just said."
"Alien bug?"
Gary was not the kind of Astartes who was unaware of the overall situation. After being stopped by Gu, he immediately controlled his anger and went through the words that the alien said that made him angry in his mind - it was very simple, Gary Wolf extracted the strangest word in this sentence.
"Yes, so now we have a small goal to figure out what this alien worm is."
——————————The dividing line between the Hammer guys————————————————
"Well, now that the first stage of the show is almost over, for the second stage, Abathur, you have to do well! You are the most important actor!"
After Gu used various means to finally make the Galio Wolf let go of a little hatred for the new aliens, and went to join the Egg's chess piece to start the process of "negotiating" with the Silence's chess piece. The Hammers on the Queen of Glory all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Abathur - according to the Hammers' script, if everything went well, then the next script would be for Silence to "hunt" Abathur's Tyranids, and the two of them would "unluckily" involve the Orc Warboss whose location had been roughly determined. When the three parties were fighting in pieces, Egg led the Wolf Group and Gu's team "just happened" to cut into the battlefield and successfully picked up the three parties - after all, according to the anti-tracking of the Silence chess piece, the Hammers had determined that the other parts of this STC had been taken away by the orcs. If they wanted to recover the STC, they had to defeat the orcs!
"No problem, I promise to follow the script, but what if something goes wrong?"
Abathur expressed his thoughts with "solemnity" and "great worry" at the same time - after all, in this damn place called Warhammer, there are too many things that can be planned from beginning to end but will be ruined at the last moment!
"Um......"
Silence, the proposer of this plan and one of the actors in this script, pretended to think for two seconds, and then threw out an answer that made Abathur cover his face.
"If the car fails, then... we can just counter it with our moves?"
58. Battle of Marco - The 'Runaway' Greenskin
"......"
Gali Wolf felt a bit overwhelmed, Tolom also felt that his world view was a bit collapsed, and Dur's mouth twitched slightly, with an expression that he wanted to say something but couldn't - except for these three people, the other wolf group men had different expressions, and the three words "what's going on" were written on their faces at the same time - and the source of all this was caused by the information that Gu brought back to them.
"Allfather...are you sure those
The alien didn't talk nonsense?"
After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the many questions in his heart, Gary spoke in a cautious tone.
"Bishop Egg and I watched the video footage brought by the aliens, and the biological fragments brought back by the aliens. We also watched their battle up close under the guidance of the aliens. I personally believe that what happened is true."
Gu, who was talking seriously about something that was actually not reliable at all, took out some more information and handed it to Galio Wolf, and looked at the increasingly solemn expression on the face of the Space Wolves Astartes with satisfaction. Before, although he had persuaded Galio Wolf to talk to the Necrons first, in order to prevent the old wolf from losing control of his emotions during the negotiation, Gu kindly suggested that the negotiation be left to him and the Oil Man, and the Space Wolves should make some preparations before the war. Naturally, this suggestion was agreed by Galio Wolf, after all, the Astartes of the Wolf Group knew...
Now among the Astartes of the Empire, the Ultramarines say that their negotiation skills are second to none, but no Astartes dares to say that they are first!
And the result... is that Gu and Jidan took the information compiled by the Hammer guys, and after wasting some time, they confidently delivered these things, which were actually the Hammer guys' scripts, to the Wolf Group brothers, and successfully used these incredible information to severely burn the CPUs of the Wolf Group men - most of the STCs taken away by the orcs were still within the comprehension of the wild wolves, but what about the green hive tyrant that could command the Orc orcs?
What the hell is that?
"I think that if we want to complete the mission as smoothly as possible, it is crucial to use the power of the aliens - there is no doubt that the goal of these aliens coming to this world is to capture that weird Tyranid Hive Tyrant, and our goals do not conflict with theirs."
