In the large training ground of the monastery fortress, the bloody sunset cast brilliant shadows through the flower windows of the dome.
Soshiyang stood in the colorful reflection, waiting quietly——
Then, the door to the training ground opened, and the ground trembled.
"...The transmission of the two legs needs to be improved, and the left arm also needs to be improved. How did the empire's technology regress to this point? A set of cavalry-type tactical dreadnoughts is actually one-third heavier than the same model in the past?"
Amidst the complaints, Sevatar, who was wearing the only Terminator armor in the group, walked into the training ground accompanied by Thor.
Just from the walking posture, Soshyan noticed that Sevatar was completely different from the previous user of this armor. Although the Prince of Crows was wearing a terminator that did not fit that well and had never been used before, he moved and moved.
The time is very freehand.
When Savita stood still in front of Soshyan, he could only look up at him.
The official name of the Terminator armor is the Tactical Dreadnought Armor, but the latter is not as well-known as the former.
The Terminator armor is an advanced powered armor specially optimized for close-range combat. It places greater emphasis on power output than the flexibility of the armor, but it can also play the role of a mobile heavy weapons platform in attacks in open areas.
.
The earliest history of the Terminator can be traced back to the Unification Era of thirty thousand years. During that period, a prototype of some kind of fully enclosed heavy individual armor had already appeared. The Mechanicus improved those primitive weapons and the Terminator was born.
However, according to some other documents, it is revealed that as early as the dark period of human history, there were records of the development of exoskeleton armor technology, and it was also used on a large scale.
This equipment is to ensure that astronauts can perform tasks in extremely dangerous environments, such as vacuum environments, strong radiation environments, high temperature and high pressure environments, etc.
In addition, it should be able to withstand the impact of micro-high-speed orbital debris, so a thick plastic steel shell is also essential.
This protective suit can move freely even inside the containment vessel of a plasma reactor or in a container of highly corrosive chemicals - all characteristics that are said to be inherited by the later tactical Dreadnought power armor.
Regardless of its origin, the positioning of Terminator armor has been focused on defense from the beginning.
When the first batch of Terminator armor appeared, it was only intended to replace the power armor in the Great Crusade Legion. However, due to its lack of flexibility, it was eventually added to various legions as a supplement.
There are also rumors that Warmaster Horus was once the main supporter of the Terminator project, so the Luna Wolves Legion was also the legion with the largest number of Terminator equipment during the Great Crusade.
As the Great Crusade progressed, the powerful defensive role of the Terminator was finally demonstrated, especially in gang-hopping battles with huge casualties.
The shell of the Terminator armor is composed of thick ceramic plates, with plastic steel reinforcements on the outside - the armor on the chest is especially thick. These armor decks are driven by strengthened electronic muscle bundles, and their skeletons are made of adamantine.
.All of this is closely connected to the Space Marine's nervous and muscular system through the servo interface built into the armor, thus greatly enhancing the wearer's movement capabilities.
Its protection is so good that even individual missiles using armor-piercing warheads cannot penetrate its chest.
However, the thick armor also increases the weight of the Terminator armor, causing the wearer's walking speed and flexibility to decrease to a certain extent.
In order to support this weight, adamantine material is used on the armor frame of the Terminator armor, and a suspension system is also installed inside the armor to ensure that the armor can carry more powerful and heavy weapons.
Relying on a powerful power system and structure? Terminators can be equipped with a variety of powerful shooting weapons (usually twin bolters or storm bolters) and powerful melee power weapons (mainly power weapons). They are generally deployed.
In areas where conventional power armor cannot ensure the safety of the wearer, when the battlefield environment tests protection and durability more than flexibility? Terminators will step into the battlefield in place of ordinary Space Marines.
Beginning in the middle of the Great Crusade? Each legion has formed its own Terminator Company, such as the Blood Guard of the Blood Angels? The Black Guards of the Night Lords, the Scarab Guards of the Thousand Words? The Death Shrouds of the Death Guard? The Death Wings of the Dark Angels.
Wait, at the same time, most of these troops also serve as another position - the personal bodyguard of the original body.
It was from this time on that only the strongest and bravest Space Marines were given the honor of wearing this sacred combat gear.
Since its birth, Terminator armor has been divided into many models due to different ways of use. The earliest, and the most popular model in the Great Expedition, is the iron cavalry type that Savita currently wears.
The iron cavalry type can be said to be the prototype of the Terminator armor, and it is also the model that most perfectly implements the "defensive" attributes of the Terminator.
The Iron Cavalry Type Terminator is very similar to the most common Indomitable Type in the 41st Millennium in many aspects, but its large layered plate-like shoulder armor and fringed vertical strips can still easily distinguish it from the latter.
In addition, the helmet of the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor is very similar to the mkiii "Steel" type power armor of the time.
As the earliest terminator armor to be deployed in the army? The iron cavalry terminator attaches great importance to protection to the extent that it affects the performance of other aspects - it is equipped with a high-power deflection generating device on the shoulder armor, which allows the wearer to obtain more
Good protection? You can fight head-on even in a hail of bullets.
But as a price, these additional position generating devices will seriously hinder the mobility of this type of armor, making it less likely to respond in time when facing enemy firepower, and the iron cavalry type has also become synonymous with bulkiness.
Is it this flaw that caused the Catastrophic Terminator armor to be gradually withdrawn from the front lines before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy? However, legions such as the Sons of Horus and the Iron Hands still retain a considerable number of this type.
armor.
After the Great Rebellion? Most of the Iron Cavalry Terminators had been consumed in the war, but some were still retained and passed on to newly established sub-regiments during the second founding of the army.
Most of these ancient pieces of armor are carefully preserved as sacred artifacts of the Chapter and will not be used except as a last resort.
"I won't talk about theoretical stuff. You haven't used a Terminator before, so you may not understand what I'm talking about. Why not get started directly and let you know what the concept of a Terminator is first."
As he spoke, the former leader of the Black Armored Guards once again put on the Terminator's Savita and activated the chainsaw halberd.
"good."
Soshiyang also activated the Sheng Yan Sword, and the two began training.
From the beginning, Soshyang used all his strength to attack the opponent without mercy. Every time the weapons intersected, it would trigger a collision and eruption of the force field.
But each of his attacks was easily neutralized by Savita, and then returned with several times the force.
After only ten seconds of fighting, Soshiyang realized what a massacre looked like.
In battle, Sevatar is like a savage weapon. His advantage lies in the impact of the formation and the ruthlessness of the attack.
When meeting him on the battlefield, everyone will understand what it means to be unstoppable and what it means to be as fast as thunder.
He doesn't fight with people, but simply kills - which is not to say that he lacks skills.
The Crow Prince's talent is unparalleled, and his concentration is extraordinary. He is like a violent wind filled with murderous intent. Even the slightest tension and changes in his opponent's muscles cannot escape his eyes.
Sosh Yang was soon at a disadvantage and could only barely parry.
The collision light of the weapon force field reflected the armor, and the flag hanging high above seemed to be caught in a thunderstorm. The intersection of the sword blades caused the air to electrolyze, and the resulting breeze gently blew those thick flags.
