After asking Rogris to take care of the fearless think tank, Soshyan returned to the heavy work. He knew very well that the end of the Angstrom naval battle did not mean that the war would end soon. The main force of the Red Pirate Fleet was not yet available.
Despite being severely damaged, they are still capable of fighting against the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and what Chaos Force is best at is cunning and cunning. The opponent may not have used any more vicious tricks, so the slight advantage in the frontal battlefield can be completely ignored.
In other words, until now, the expeditionary force and the Red Pirates are still in a stalemate stage, and this stage may continue for quite some time until the accumulated troops and weapons and equipment reach the scale originally envisioned by Soshyan.
Therefore, Soshyan was not in a hurry to return to the Sagan system, but stayed in Angstrom for some time. On the one hand, the battleships damaged in the battle were repaired in the Angstrom dock, and on the other hand,
It is to continue to arrange post-war processing.
Although the red pirates were defeated, they still left some troubles behind, such as the ruined ship.
The hulk itself is very troublesome because of its huge size. In addition, a demon summoning ritual was performed inside it before, which caused it to be extremely corrupted. Its complex internal structure also made it difficult to clean up after the war, even before the battle was over.
In the next few days, we can still receive reports of some red pirate activities slipping through the net. However, if such a huge space junk is ignored, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause any trouble, even if it accidentally interacts with Angstrom's
A collision between orbital stations will cause a disaster.
After considering various opinions, Soshyan decided to dismantle it directly in space.
The specific process is to first use the battleship's light lance to shoot it into several pieces, then use the tugboat's gravity pulling device to separate the large fragments, and then the Mechanicus' engineering ship uses a high-power cutting laser to separate the large fragments into smaller pieces.
Small parts are finally brought to the vicinity of the star and propelled directly into the star using booster rockets.
Originally, the Adeptus Mechanicus considered whether to recycle part of it, but after the Inquisitors arrived on the battlefield, this plan was immediately rejected. The only solution to such a seriously polluted hulk was to destroy it, and it was the most complete destruction.
During this process, more than twenty red pirates were actually caught. Some of them resisted to the end and were eventually eliminated, while others were captured and handed over to the judges - unless there were special circumstances, there would be nothing waiting for them.
Endless torture, until all the secrets in their heads are tortured out, even the powerful Space Marines, the Inquisition has a thousand ways to pry open their mouths.
In addition, some red pirate warships were damaged and unable to move due to various reasons and were finally abandoned on the battlefield. Under the current circumstances where every warship is very important, Soshyan naturally cannot let go of these precious war materials.
The most special and largest among them is an Executor-class large cruiser.
The Executor class is a kind of light spear ship. The left and right sides are equipped with a total of 6 sets of light spears, which makes its production quantity relatively small, but it has a very strong long-range output capability.
However, this model was discontinued after a few batches were produced during the M35 period. Those remaining Executioners continued to suffer battle damage, and their numbers gradually decreased. By the end of the M37, only the last Executioner class led by the Royal Glory remained.
Squadrons, they are also part of the larger fleet stationed at the Cadian Gate.
During a fleet operation against Chaos ships from the Eye of Terror, Royal Glory formed part of a pursuit force with her sister ships. After holding the line and forcing the raiders to retreat, she and a number of ships launched a pursuit
, however, all the ships involved in the pursuit disappeared, and their fate became a mystery. Most people believed that they were lured into a trap and destroyed. However, five centuries later, three missing ships - including the Royal
Glory, identified as part of the rebel fleet.
The Royal Glory went through many twists and turns, and after thousands of years of rebellion, it came into the hands of the Red Pirates and was renamed the Bloody Glory.
During the Angstrom naval battle, the Scarlet Glory was besieged by fighter planes. Because the Executor class did not consider the possibility of large-scale air strikes during its design, its point defense firepower was relatively weak, so when facing a large number of fighter planes,
It appeared to be very fragile, and its powerful light spear array was even more ineffective. Eventually, the upper deck and engine were blown up and it lost its combat effectiveness and exited the battlefield. The red pirates who were eager to escape did not have time to destroy it, leaving it floating on the edge of the battlefield.
Captured by the Empire.
However, it was captured, but the condition of the ship was really bad. Almost the entire upper deck was destroyed. Fortunately, the keel was not damaged, but the engine was almost scrapped. This means that repairing it is equivalent to rebuilding it.
One, and thousands of years of subspace corrosion have made its machine soul irretrievable. It can only be completely erased and replaced, not to mention the parts inside the hull. If the Executioner class is not indeed rare, its sides are derived from ancient technology.
The light spear array is also relatively intact, and Soshyan is really too lazy to repair it, because it is basically equivalent to rebuilding a ship - to put it bluntly, repairing it is all about the reputation of its cannons.
However, the Inquisitors disagreed with this. Most of their opinions were that the ship was severely corroded and had no salvage value. Some people believed that the cost of repairing it was not proportional to the return, and it also took a long time. It could be repaired.
After that, the expedition was over, and it was just a waste of resources.
Soshyan didn't bother to talk nonsense to these inquisitors who had little experience in the military field. He listened to the valuable ones and pretended not to hear the worthless ones. After all, repairing this ship was not just for the subsequent battles - it was a battlefield.
Captured items belong to the war group and can be taken back after the expedition.
So the ship was towed to Angstrom, where it underwent lengthy repairs—according to various accounts, it would take at least three years to completely repair and purify the warship.
In fact, this time has come faster than Soshyan expected. After all, it took almost ten years to repair the Eternal Loyalty. After careful questioning, we found out that the most complicated thing about the Executioner class is its light spear array and energy transmission system.
These items were not on the upper deck, so they did not suffer much damage. Besides the light spear, this ship had no other main weapons, so the structure was much simpler, and it was easier to repair than other large cruisers.
As for other light cruisers and small battleships, those that can be repaired quickly are recycled, and those that do not have much recycling value are dismantled. Of course, not all captured battleships Soshiyan are monopolized. All battle groups participating in the war have received a certain amount of battleship supplements.
, although most of them are small battleships or even modified armed transport ships, they are already very precious trophies for most battle groups with tight ships.
In addition, the weapons and equipment in Angstrom's inventory will also be given priority to replenish the participating battle groups, and then transported to various war zones via transport ships. As the premier forging world in the Maelstrom, Angstrom can produce most space warrior equipment.
, from bolters to jetpacks to power armor, as well as some light vehicles, there is even some brand-new equipment in the warehouse that was to be handed over to the Star Claws before the Badab War. These were directly requisitioned by Soshyan for free.
