Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Why don't you see Ellie?"

Looking around, Li Meng asked.

He hadn't seen Ellie since he woke up in the morning.

This is not normal, the two sisters are inseparable on weekdays.

With a slight flush on her face, Irene said in a low voice: "She... she's having her period, it's inconvenient, she won't be here until a few days later."

Hearing this, Li Meng showed understanding.

No wonder there were days every month when either Ellie or Erin was away.

Women always have a few days of trouble every month, which is indispensable.

"There is a message from the bridge, and the unknown signal source sent a message again. The content is: "Brother, I have no malicious intentions. We are all human beings on Earth. It is rare to be so close. Come together, it can be regarded as a support."

001's voice sounded again, bringing a new situation to Li Meng.

If Li Meng didn't know his purpose before.

It is now determined.

He probably wanted to form an alliance, but couldn't find anyone, so he could only send out high-frequency signals.

As long as someone receives and replies, both parties can communicate.

Stuffing a green fruit into his mouth, Li Meng began to think quickly while chewing.

"Can you find the source of the signal?"

001: "Lack of corresponding electronic equipment, unable to locate the source of the signal."

Li Meng asked again: "How is the radar scan result?"

The radar system on the Far Walker is the most commonly used Auspex array in Warhammer 40 for the Imperium of Man.

It is an integrated radar with comprehensive functions.

001: "No discovery yet."

Can't be careless...

The signal he sends is not directional, but non-directional.

Take the place where you are as the center point, and send out low-frequency signals.

People within a certain distance receive the signal, and once they reply, they will reveal their location.

Maybe he had good intentions and just wanted to unite the nearby humans.

But the human heart is sinister, no matter in which era, the wicked will never be absent.

In the era of the big universe where there is no order at all, people's hearts cannot stand the test.

but……

"Notify the bridge, don't turn off the auspicious array, and monitor the star field of the S-24 star system 01888 hours a day."

No matter at any time, you can't be careless, and you can never go wrong with being cautious.

Li Meng suddenly thought of the "Cobra" destroyer.

There are still more than two months...

As long as the "Cobra" destroyer is launched, he has the ability to protect himself.

By then, he'll be able to be a little more aggressive.

Thinking of this, Li Meng said to 001: "001, open the hull data blueprint of the "Cobra" destroyer."

As Li Meng's voice fell, a blue light shot out from 001's electronic eyes.

A holographic screen formed in front of Li Meng.

In Warhammer 40 Imperium of Man, naval warships are divided into five classes.

The smallest are destroyers, then escorts, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships.

As the smallest starship in the Imperium of Man, the "Cobra" destroyer is 1.5 kilometers long and 0.5 kilometers wide.

As a torpedo-type destroyer, the bow of the "Cobra" destroyer has 10 torpedo ports with a caliber of 20m.

It can fire powerful anti-ship torpedoes.

In addition to anti-ship torpedoes, the "Cobra" destroyer is also equipped with two ten-meter-class medium-range small-caliber light spears.

The close-in weapons have 164 double-mounted six-tube automatic guns with a caliber of [-] mm, which can effectively intercept small aircraft at close range.

From the outside, the "Cobra" destroyer is not bloated.

The reason why there is a width of 0.5 kilometers is that the front and rear of the hull have structures similar to flying wings.

The tips of the flying wings each had a huge gate of fine gold, like four shields.

The shield-shaped part can resist fire from the side and effectively protect the bridge and the torpedo storage room at the bow.

1.5 kilometers in length...

Looking at the blueprint of the "Cobra" destroyer in the picture, Li Meng murmured in his heart.

In most sci-fi movies and anime, the 1.5-kilometer-long ship is at the battleship level,
In Warhammer 40, the 1.5 km long battleship is only the smallest destroyer.

The construction speed is not slow, and it can be completed in about a year.

Although it occupies 70.00% of manpower and material resources.

But this also shows that the "Cobra" destroyer can be mass-produced.

Seeing this, Li Meng waved his hand slightly.

The holographic screen suddenly dissipated...

Turning his head to look at the star ring outside the glass wall, the starry sky, and the earth-colored No. 1 star.

The expression on Li Meng's face was only calm.

After the "Cobra" destroyer is launched, there are many things to do.

Yuanxing cannot move, and other small aircraft do not have the ability to fly faster than the speed of light.

Even if he wanted to do something, there was nothing he could do.

……

Another new day.

On the other side of the planet, the sun slowly rises to announce the dawn of a new day.

Early in the morning, Irina hurried to the maintenance room.

She's received a message from Donald Tech Sage that she must make a trip to the maintenance room.

Walking in the long metal corridor, Irina was wearing a purple dress with a low cut and tight waist.

She lowered her head, with a pensive look on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Why are you calling her?
Since the Draven family was awakened, it has taken all the power.

Of course, this right comes from the Regent.

Without the Regent, the Adeptus Mechanicus would not have cooperated with them in exercising their rights.

With the development, as the scale of the Ark Project became larger and larger, more and more slave laborers were awakened.

Today, the five thousand slave laborers have all been awakened.

There are nearly two thousand "slaves" mining machines working in the dark universe outside.

They were divided into three groups, three management departments.

One is the mining group, which is mainly responsible for mining mineral resources, and the number is about 1000 or [-].

One is the engineering group, which is mainly responsible for engineering construction, and the number is about [-].

One is the logistics support group, which is mainly responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of mining machines and engineering machines.

Among the three management departments, the logistics support group is in charge of the Mechanicus.

The maintenance machine it uses is also transformed from a "slavery" mining machine, with some maintenance equipment added.

The slave labor driving the maintenance machine is not an ordinary slave labor, but a machine slave, a slave labor transformed by machinery.

They can be well integrated with the machine and use the maintenance machine more accurately.

The number is small, only more than 150.

She is not the head of the Draven family, just the mistress.

At least on the surface, it was Otis, his husband, who held the power.

Although she often goes to the palace to report government affairs to the regent.

But her positioning of herself has been consistent from beginning to end.

She is only her husband's assistant, assisting him in managing all government affairs.

If the regent did not expressly object, it was tacit consent.

Donald Tech Sage should be calling her husband, not her.

After all, it was Otis, her husband, who was in charge, and she was only Otis' assistant.

Irina had guessed about the purpose of Donald Sage of Technology telling her to go to the maintenance room.

But she still couldn't figure it out.
