"Dietrian, since you have come into contact with this kind of anti-gravity vehicle, do you think it is difficult to make it?"
Dietrian tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied in a monotonous voice:
"It's quite difficult, mainly because its anti-gravity engine is too complex and requires a lot of high-precision parts. If I have a forging world, then I may be able to restore it to a certain level of production, but if it's just a few factories, then...
...If you save a little bit by hand, you may not be able to make a few cars in a year."
"In other words, the difficulty in making it is not the technology, but the scale?"
"It's just that compared to technical conditions, scale conditions are more demanding, just like manufacturing a Knight Titan requires about 2,300 supporting factories."
"Can't the stc template reduce this requirement?"
"The material technology and parts processing accuracy cannot be improved. With only stc templates, the defective rate will be extremely high. We don't have so many resources to waste."
Soshyan rubbed his forehead. Such issues involving industry and industry were not his specialty, so after thinking for a while, he said to Dietrian:
"Let's consider this as an option and send the information to them."
After that, Dietrian introduced 6 more individual weapon templates, 3 of which are deflagration weapons, namely the deflagration snake gun, the deflagration assaulter and the deflagration lance. These three types, from light to heavy, are all Great Expedition weapons.
Common Astartes weapons of the era, there are also 2 types of arc weapons and 1 type of radiation weapon, all of which are equipment of the Mechanicum system.
Soshyan is not very interested in individual weapons, because there are still many explosive weapons in the flagship warehouse, and he does not intend to waste resources to produce them, but it also depends on the wishes of his allies.
As for the equipment of the Mechanicus, we will not consider it at all, because it is basically matched with the Skitarii and combat robots.
The remaining 8 non-ordnance templates disappointed Soshyan even more. They were basically production and research equipment templates within the Mechanicus system, but one of them interested him very much.
"...The Candis jet pack is a heavy-duty jet pack with six nozzles and a huge load capacity. It can even allow bulky Dreadnought mechas to jump short distances. However, due to the corrosion of the liquid fuel inside
Sex can basically only be used once."
"If it can drive Fearless, can it also drive Terminator?"
"Theoretically, yes."
Soshyan leaned back on the chair and started thinking.
There are currently a large number of cavalry-type terminators in the battle group, but the biggest problem with the cavalry-type terminators is that they are slow in movement, unable to pursue when attacking, and may even get out of touch with the assault troops.
If they can use jetpacks, this problem can be greatly alleviated.
However, the price/performance ratio of disposable backpacks seems to be too low.
At this time, Dietrian seemed to figure out Soshyan's thoughts and said softly:
"Its structure is not too complicated. I think... maybe it can be improved by replacing the liquid fuel engine with a small plasma engine. This will not only be easier to control, but can also be reused."
Soshyan's eyes lit up.
"Are you sure?"
"Try it, there are still 60-70%."
"Okay, I'm very optimistic about this thing. I believe that other people should have similar visions. Let's use it as an alternative and pass the data to other chapter leaders."
"yes."
"Remember to announce these analysis results to those mechanical sages to save them from bothering me every day."
"clear."
"Go and do your work."
After Dietrian left, Soshyan sat alone in the conference room and meditated.
At first, his mind was still filled with the entanglements between various forces, but gradually, the figure of a certain person occupied most of his thoughts.
Why did the Dark Eldar capture Veronica?
Will they do something bad to her? Will they hurt her?
"No, Soshyan, you are the leader of the chapter, you must deal with the matter at hand first."
Soshyan muttered to himself and rubbed his face vigorously. When he put down his hand, he saw a smiling Kayan already standing at the other end of the conference room.
"Ah, is something wrong?"
"Didn't you ask me to come?"
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had indeed summoned Kayan half an hour ago.
"Sorry, I just finished my work and my mind is a little confused."
Still smiling, Kayan walked to Soshyan, then pulled out a chair from the edge of the table and sat down.
"You see your mind is not confused at all, it's just that your heart is confused."
Soshyan knew that most of his thoughts could not be hidden from Kayan, but he did not respond. Instead, he took off the gauntlet on his right hand and showed off the plain and uncarved golden ring on his thumb.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"It's called Amnak."
"A great demon of Slaanesh?"
"Um."
"What did it do to be hunted down by its master? And for what purpose did you ask me to protect it? Also, it hasn't responded since it left the hulk. Could it be that it escaped?"
"Don't worry, it can't escape in your hands."
At this time, a weak but angry voice finally sounded from the ring.
"Kayon! You cheated on me!"
Kayon smiled and said:
"Amnak, what did I lie to you?"
"He is obviously...why didn't you tell me in advance!!!"
"You didn't ask me either? I thought you knew."
"You$%%$*——"
Kayan waved his hand, and the voice gradually became quieter, while Soshyan glanced at the ring and said:
"you have not answer my question yet."
"It betrayed Slaanesh, so it was hunted down, and its subspace body was destroyed more than a thousand years ago. As for being able to bewitch the nest master, it took a long time to accumulate strength again.
It did it, but after you destroyed the nest master, the power it accumulated disappeared again, and now there is only one consciousness left."
"Then why keep it?"
"Because it knows a lot of secrets that you will need in the future, believe me."
"But with a demon—"
Kayon pointed to the ring and said with a smile:
"It can no longer be called a demon. All subspace characteristics have been stripped away and it has become a pure entity."
"So it won't be discovered?"
"Even if you send it to the Gray Knights, they won't notice anything strange."
Soshyan looked at Kayan, was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly lowered his voice.
"Is it also related to gray marrow?"
Kayon raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.
"What did you guess?"
"Guess."
"Then your sixth sense is pretty powerful, but it involves a lot of things that I can't explain for a while. But don't tell anyone about its existence. Remember, it's no one."
Kayan's rare serious attitude made Soshyan more interested in Amnak, so he nodded.
"I see."
"That's good."
Saying that, Kayan stood up, and then suddenly patted Soshyan on the shoulder.
"Soshiyang, don't be ashamed of your emotions, and don't be afraid of them. That will give Chaos an opportunity. Some things are not as terrible as you think, otherwise mankind would be finished long ago. Face your own heart, don't
Don't deceive yourself if you avoid it. As I once told you, it is passion that makes us warriors, not weapons."
After saying that, he turned and left the conference room, leaving Soshiyang who was leaning on the chair behind him and slowly closed his eyes.
