People gathered at the commanding heights dock are waiting. The reception hall is full of docking facilities. This is the main port of the dock.
The space surrounded by the metal dome is comparable to a small world, and the gravity coating makes the inside of the sphere become an upside-down cave. Above the head, the ground curves into a complete sphere. This spectacular scene is exactly what the Mechanicus
An amazing display of uncanny craftsmanship.
A graceful jungle of butt columns extends towards the center, with a floating dock at the top. Huge lighting panels decorate the interior with binary patterns, impressing everyone who sees it with the power of the mechanical god, until the distance squeezes them together.
Pale yellow glow.
The satellite-oriented structure leads to a huge cable highway, all the way to the central hub pipe.
On the opposite side of the cable, there are a large number of holes opening into the void, and the stars in the distance are dyed light blue by the shimmer of the artificial atmospheric field.
Farther away are the moored void ships, which are locked on the pier. Among them are a large number of giant mechanical arms and cranes, blending into a forest of steel.
The crowd all faced the center of the reception hall, where there was only a landing platform, which was plated with gold and a bright red cloth was dragged down.
Broad banners of holography rolled up and down around it, periodically shattered into swirling particles of electronics as hundreds of servo-skulls passed by, chants of praise drowning out the constant binary chants and copious amounts of gothic.
announcement.
A holographic screen the size of a house showed the platform to the crowd.
At frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum that are invisible to the naked eye, countless data transmission packets are churning throughout space.
Curiosity is permeating the crowd. After all, most people, even members of the Mechanicus, rarely see the legendary superhuman warriors who defend the empire once in their lives.
Not to mention, the warrior among those warriors, a Chapter Master.
There are less than a thousand Chapter Masters in the entire empire, which means that for most people, the probability of seeing a Chapter Master in their lifetime is almost zero.
Eventually, curiosity came to a head just before an aircraft entered port.
The scanner and auspicious device were focused on it, and a magnified image was displayed on the screen - this was a Thunderhawk, very common in all Chapters, painted in the silver gray of the Astral Knights, and without any
Too many decorations.
The most conspicuous thing is the imperial double-headed eagle and a symbol of two swords crossed upward.
As it flew into the reception hall and landed on the platform, the crowd became even more curious.
With the hiss of steam, the Thunderhawk sat on the platform, expelling exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe, while the servitors were silently busy with their work.
The cockpit windows were dark, the beacon lights were turned off, and the machine spirit inside was silent.
Soon, the rotating warning lights flashed at the rear of the spacecraft, and with the hiss of atmospheric balance, the huge rear ramp lowered.
The assembled members of the Adeptus Mechanicus waited in eerie silence.
With a clang, the ramp dropped heavily to the apron of the deck, and thick red light lit up the interior of the spacecraft, making it impossible to see more than one meter inside with any form of vision.
Everyone's eyes widened, and the mechanical prosthetic eyes were also frantically adjusting their focus.
Suddenly, a group of heavily armed human figures appeared from the red interior of the spacecraft, as if they were coming out of a thick fog.
They were all terrifying giants. The first one who came out was a smiling warrior with a handsome face and short golden hair. His vigilant gaze swept across the entire hall, and then nine more warriors walked out.
The other soldiers all wore helmets and stood in a row at the edge of the ramp after leaving the cabin.
Then Soshyan appeared.
He was wearing a specially made ornate ceremonial armor, with an iron-gray cape behind him. The armor was covered with various scriptures and medals. His face was exposed to the public because he was not wearing a helmet. There was an iron halo hanging behind his head and an iron halo hanging around his waist.
A long sword.
The face of this Chapter Master was both tough and terrifying, showing no anger or authority, but not overly forceful. Every pair of eyes in the audience were fixed on that face, and they could never take their eyes away from it.
"Everyone from Zhao-Akada."
Soshyan did not speak loudly, but his voice spread further than a mortal roaring with a trumpet.
"I am Soshyan Alexei, the chapter leader of the Astral Knights. I am here today to witness your efforts. I also feel very grateful for your hard work in the past twenty years.
A sharp blade of the empire, and it will soon strike hard at the necks of those heretics and aliens!"
Just as he spoke, a giant ship covered the dome through the hardened glass.
It is surrounded by a large number of construction machinery, and the dense pipelines and beams seem to support a large group of workers and engineers on scaffolding.
If you look carefully, you can see the church rising high from the gorgeous hull. Its spire stretches out to the stars like a curved finger. Compared with other types of imperial warships, the bow of this warship is less sharp. It is a huge
The golden double-headed eagle is spreading its wings, and its wings are surrounding the huge bow of the ship.
The huge macro-cannon barrels on both sides, divided into upper and lower rows, shimmered against the distant stars. The huge gun base sat on a sharp-edged metal block, which was covered with various viewpoints.
It implies that there are countless operating rooms inside.
Laser arrays are densely arranged along the central axis of the back and belly, and in their gaps, spires rush out from the numerous sub-decks, dotted with more small arms arrays and torpedo rooms.
The powerful weapon gives its owner a terrifying sense of violence.
At the stern, a huge exhaust pipe hood gleamed in the bright light of the hot engines, seemingly preparing to release enough thrust to force the warship away from the satellite.
Seen from a distance, the engine nozzle is so huge and terrifying that if you stare at it for a long time, your sanity will seem to be swallowed up in the unfathomable darkness.
This battleship is the Avengers-class large cruiser that Soshyan captured in the Battle of Ghetsis.
The Avenger is a relic of the Empire's early fleet tactics and was designed as a battle line breaker. It is a powerful but extremely simple battleship, usually deployed in squadrons surrounded by frigates and light cruisers.
As the fleet meets the enemy, the Avengers will advance at full speed until they reach the core of the enemy fleet.
Once in the predetermined position, she will use the heavy weapons arrays on both sides to continuously fire at the enemy, engaging enemy ships at close range.
The Avengers-class large weapon array is very terrifying, about 1.5 times that of other battleships of the same tonnage, and can cause serious interference and damage to enemy fleets at close range.
To put it simply, it has only one tactic: rush up and beat the enemy wildly.
After acquiring this battleship, due to the weak strength of the war group and its relative "poverty", Soshyan did not immediately repair and transform it.
Until twenty years ago, after the Astral Knight had developed to a certain extent, he secretly contacted Zhao Akada of the Forging World, hoping that the other party would accept the contract, and he would ensure that he would give the Forging World sufficient compensation in the future.
Now, the battleship has been repaired and renovated and has been given a new lease of life, and he has received a reward that satisfies Zhao Akada.
And what satisfies Soshyan the most is that in the past twenty years, no one except the staff in the dock knew about the existence of this ship.
His enemies in the future will not know either.
"Here, I name it, Eternal Loyalty!"
At the same moment when Soshyan officially determined the name of the battleship, several engineering ships flew to the bow of the battleship and began to use high-energy lasers to inscribe Gothic language on it.
