"...The current total length of the ship is 8.3 kilometers, and the widest point is about 1.9 kilometers. When fully loaded, the mass is 45 million tons, and the required crew is between 140,000 and 150,000."
The passageways of the battleship have been renovated, and a red carpet has been specially laid out to welcome Soshyan and his party.
As the Chapter Master entered for his inspection, he was accompanied by Ja'da Evra, Supreme Ruler of Zhao-Arkadar.
From this sage, one can clearly feel the highly non-organic trend within the Mechanicus.
Jada Evra is very tall, probably close to five meters, and wearing a long and thick robe, she looks like a performer on stilts at a village gathering.
Although the sage was tightly wrapped, Soshyan could still see from the edge of the robe that his body had been completely transformed. In the chest were ribbed tubes and tendril-like servos, replacing organs and veins.
and body.
At the same time, this sage no longer has a face in the conventional sense, but wears a cold metal mask with three holes on it, with green spherical diodes implanted in them to replace the eyes.
In addition to the arms, a set of mechanical dendritic arms protruded from the sage's back, just like the claws and arms of an arachnid, covered with mysterious machinery.
In addition, Soshyan deduced that the other party's vocal cords should have also been modified. The voice lacked all emotion and was completely synthesized through artificially implanted sounds, full of indifference.
"...Her main weapons are eight large weapon arrays on the left and right, each equipped with a destruction macrocannon."
Hearing this, Soshyan stopped.
"Destruction type macro cannon? I don't seem to have heard of this model. Can you explain it to me?"
"Of course, the destruction macro-cannon is our unique design. It is a type of heavy-duty macro-cannon. It is launched with the assistance of a linear accelerator, which greatly increases the range of the artillery shell. With professional special warheads, it can effectively penetrate enemy armor.
, achieving the effect of a fatal blow.”
"That's great, let's take a look."
With that said, Soshyan turned into a gun room.
The macro cannon is huge, just like a building. There are gantry, crane, power lines and pipelines inside the gun chamber. The shells are usually installed in a separate explosion-proof room to prevent the explosion from causing greater damage.
Soshyan first looked at the grand gun room for a while, then entered the explosion-proof ammunition room and looked at every type of ammunition.
The one that attracted him the most was a shield-breaking bullet. The head of this bullet was equipped with a force field defuser, which could dissolve a large circle of surrounding void shields at the moment of collision with the void shield, and last for a period of time. During this period
Here, other warships can focus their fire to bombard the gap.
At the same time, the characteristics of the Nirvana Macro Cannon allow it to use another special type of ammunition, namely the hot melt bomb. The weight of this type of projectile is 1.3 times that of ordinary ammunition, but the destructive power is at least twice as high. The main disadvantage is the temperature during launch.
Extremely high, may damage the barrel, but the destruction macro cannon can
The lower speed pushes it out of the barrel, thereby reducing damage to the barrel.
In addition to inspecting weapons, Soshyan also inspected the artillery and watched a skillful loading operation.
It has to be said that Zhao Akada handled this matter very authentically, and the personnel he deployed were of extremely high quality. Even the servitors were of the highest quality, making the artillery reloading almost reach the theoretical speed.
This also means that there is no problem with the Eternal Loyalty being pulled out for combat now, and there is no need to run in at all.
"By the way, I remember Sage, you said you prepared a gift for me?"
After walking to the bridge and looking around, Soshyan suddenly joked.
He is also very satisfied with the deployment of the bridge. Not only is there no clutter like most imperial battleships, but each key system position is backed up in other areas of the battleship. Even if part of the bridge is destroyed, the backup system can immediately accept that part.
Continue to operate.
It's just that the decoration inside is a bit too luxurious and noble in Soshyan's eyes, especially the golden command throne——
Too much!
"Of course, Chapter Commander Soshyan, please come with me."
After walking for a while, Jada Evra brought Soshyan to the bow area of the ship.
Originally, a nova cannon or a torpedo launcher should have been installed here, but these are now absent and have been replaced by another mysterious weapon.
"The Rift Cannon is a medium-range directional weapon that can fire high-energy beams. After hitting the target, it creates a shattered subspace rift, tearing apart and sucking in everything around it."
"This thing——"
Soshyan took a step forward and looked at the huge energy supply device, but suddenly another person appeared in his mind.
"I heard that the Eldar also have a similar weapon called the Ghost Cannon. It can also cause an area of the material world to collapse instantly and open a small subspace cave. The size of the cave depends on the size of the launcher itself and the corresponding response.
energy supply, there is some relationship between the two
?"
After a moment of silence, the governing sage replied coldly:
"We once studied related weapons."
The subtext was already obvious, so Soshyan naturally would not continue to ask further questions.
"Obviously such an advanced weapon must be expensive to make. It is indeed a great gift. Thank you very much for your and your furnace's help to the battle group."
Soshyan turned around, smiled and stretched out his hand.
The ruling sage hesitated for two seconds, and then held the other person's hand, obviously not used to this kind of salute.
"Sage, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
Then, Soshyan glanced at the followers behind the ruling sage.
Jada Evra immediately turned around and ordered:
"You guys get out."
Soshyan also issued orders to his guards.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the spacious gun room, which seemed cold and empty.
Then Soshyan took out a small data pad, handed it to the governing sage, and said:
"I have another commission here. You can take a look. The project volume and difficulty are very large, but the war group will also pay a very high value. You must have heard about the auction not long ago."
Jada Evra silently took the data tablet and immediately began to read the data inside.
The moment he came into contact with the data, Soshyan clearly saw the other party's shoulders tremble, and it was obvious that the content inside was very impactful.
After a few seconds, the ruling sage completely stopped moving.
In this way, Jada Evra hung his head and remained silent for nearly half an hour. During this process, he said nothing. The only sound was the ticking sound of the bionic devices on his body.
Soshyan didn't know whether the other party was thinking or communicating remotely with other people, but he kept waiting patiently.
Finally, when his patience was about to run out, Jada Evra raised his head again.
"Chapter Commander, let's be honest, this is a huge project, and the difficulty level exceeds all the projects and facilities that the Forge World has participated in and built in the 10,000 years since its establishment. Most of the Forge Worlds are unable to afford it."
