Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

"By the way, how are you doing with your work? The Great Crusade is about to begin."

Zhang Lingyou asked while drinking hot tea in his hand.

"The Great Crusade? What to do?"

Sigma was still not in a good state, his head was dizzy, and his internal organs were uncomfortable. He felt that the word was familiar, but he didn't know where it was, so he asked a silly question.

"Of course it's to explore the universe and find your own destiny."

The old star god was talking.

"Human beings' current physique is not strong enough to deal with danger. Can you help me?"

Franz did not say, "You promised us." It was better not to say such words.

"Okay, but I have to tell you, I have to do my own work and don't have time to go out most of the time. My active period outside is probably about 1,500 years, but don't worry, the other party won't send high-end Combat strength..."

One thousand and five hundred years is the time Zhang Lingyou spent preparing for work, inspecting the environment, allocating resources to the superficial plan, setting execution lines to cover up the real plan, presetting smoke bombs, planning trajectories, etc. The workload was huge.

Not only will the big plan swallow up nearly 80% of Zhang Lingyou's production capacity, but how to fool the three veterans into believing that Zhang Lingyou is an idealist is also a big problem.

He briefly introduced the situation, but hid the news about the existence of other ancient saints and star gods. He only said that the four parties had treaty restrictions and they would not encounter powerful people beyond limits.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you encounter them. They will have a Star God Summoner. When necessary, the Star God's incarnation or even Zhang Lingyou's body will come to the line. Moreover, Zhang Lingyou is just busy with big plans, but he will still pay close attention to the current situation of the world, and be on guard against situations where the battle line is getting closer to Terra, and he still doesn't know anything about it.

Everyone was happy except Al.

He knew that if he only encountered a fragment of the Star God, then the matter could be covered up for a while, and it would not be difficult for him to return to the empire; but for a complete Star God, he had not heard of these beings as powerful as his creator. There are legends about the body, and I also heard that the guy in front of me had seriously injured the god he believed in.

He didn't know what to do. According to legend, the Star God was moody and extremely cruel, and he might become a traitor to his race without knowing it...

Just when Al was getting more and more confused, Zhang Lingyou spoke: "That pointy ear, I have a pretty good job, do you want it?"

"Yes (I dare not say no)."

Looking at the gray bean sprouts, Zhang Lingyou decided not to tease him anymore, and explained seriously: "You are from the Spirit Tribe and are familiar with the Spirit Tribe Empire. Are you interested in serving as the ambassador of the Changya Chamber of Commerce to the Spirit Tribe? Although your existence War cannot be avoided, but an effective communication channel can greatly reduce the casualties of civilians on both sides."

"I?"

Al pointed to himself. He knew the Longtooth Chamber of Commerce, which was the foreign trade and exchange department of the Steam Empire. With the endorsement of the Steam Empire, the Chamber of Commerce dares to sell any weapons, technology, industrial machines and products, ranging from the design template of the universal panacea as the people's livelihood Optimus Prime, the sky fortress of the military ceiling, to all kinds of cheap weapons, ammunition and All-round research reports are sold, and there is no worry that humans will fall out after the explosion of technology.

At the same time, this is also the only department with human participation. I didn’t expect that he, an Eldar, could enter today.

Wait a minute, this star god said "reduce civilian casualties"? Is this guy fake?

Al, whose brain was overloaded, felt that the other party must have distorted his perception. He secretly activated his psychic powers to try to wake himself up.

This action failed to escape Zhang Lingyou's perception, he quietly relaxed the barriers of reality, and then launched a sneak attack! Let a large amount of spiritual energy suddenly pour into the body of the Eldar.

Al was shocked and didn't understand why a simple psychic cleansing could go wrong. Fortunately, Zhang Lingyou just scared him, and soon the psychic energy dissipated, and Al's body returned to normal, and he no longer felt any discomfort.

At this moment, Al was shocked. Didn't he say that the Star God is a subspace insulator? How could He...

"Yes, you. Don't be afraid that the Spirit Empire will not accept you. For the sake of the overall situation, washing briquettes is just a trivial matter. These days, they will not fight for some benefits."

The words dispersed the Eldar's thoughts, and he couldn't remember what he had thought about, but the other party asked a question, and he had to answer it. It must be said that the conditions offered by Zhang Lingyou were very tempting, and Al agreed directly without thinking too much.

"In addition, take this game and promote it to the whole people. Just when you are integrating it, see how it will develop. Take a look at it first, and then think about the position of human beings after watching it."

Sigma and others took the rectangular box given by Zhang Lingyou. On the black metal shell, "Total War" was written in green fluorescent light. Open the introduction, and there are four big bosses recorded in detail: the technological ceiling, the mechanical ascension Necrons; the psychic ceiling, the Ling Fei Slann; Ling Fei's mechanical biological empire, the Quelco Orcs; a little bit of everything, no obvious shortcomings. The Eldar, the psychic race of the Board.

His teammates: the semi-parasitic race Hrud; the Nipeng rat; the psychic flying bear Nikasar; the super large war beast, the son of Behemut.

Optional directions:

Genes have ascended, strengthened the physical body, and can resist psychic powers and crush the opponent to death.

The machine ascends, the consciousness is uploaded, and the whole clan becomes unified.

Psionic ascension, the three existing psionic races have ascension technologies, you can research them yourself.

Sigma read it carefully and immediately decided: "I want them all!"

"You're not afraid of taking too big a step and making a fool of yourself."

Zhang Lingyou couldn't help pouring cold water on the other party. He felt that his words were a bit hurtful, so he came up with his own solution: "Look at this for yourselves, and then talk after reading it."

Sigma took it and looked at it with Orr Persson. This is a complete set of start-up technology trees for interstellar civilization, covering all aspects from military to people's livelihood, from basic materials to psychology and philosophy as leadership. .

They had no idea of ​​looking for technicians to check the technology. The technology of the Star God and the Ancient Saint to support the race was first-rate and they had the richest experience. To match it, they had the materials and resources provided by Zhang Lingyou. These things are scattered in multiple river systems in their natural state, and humans cannot find them, let alone refine them.

There are three technologies that Sigma covets the most: star gate technology, standard manufacturing template technology, and biological evolution technology.

Stargate technology, as the name suggests, creates a stargate inside a star system as a transmission node. The system is completed and can travel at super-light speed in an instant. If the sea route is clear (no ship jams) and the route is smooth without any transfers, it will only take a day or two from one end of the galaxy to the other.

Necrons also have this technology, but it is not as efficient as Zhang Lingyou's. The reason is simple, this thing requires energy from the Star God.

Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about the relationship between the Necrons and the Star God. The fragments of the Star God are a daily grind, otherwise the other two empires would not be qualified to be on an equal footing with the Necrons.

Things are much better on the human side, at least the Star Gods have no ill intentions.

Standard manufacturing templates, referred to as "STC", are divided into master templates and sub-templates.

The motherboard is versatile. It can transform the planet, build various types of factories, produce medicines, food, and robots. If enough materials are input, it can also create battleships.

Subversions can only do one kind of work, those that produce ships can only build ships, and those that are used for planetary transformation can only transform planets.

Biological evolution technology is to change the physiological structure of human beings. There are many "blank areas" in the human genetic sequence that are useless and cannot be replaced. This technology can be filled according to human needs.

You can modify the softness and hardness of bones, grow an extra pair of wings, modify the internal structure, etc.

These three technologies are the cornerstones of interstellar civilization and necessary conditions for mankind to move towards ascension. With these, the technological reserves that take humans tens of thousands of years to accumulate can be shortened to ten or even nine decades.

Sigma's idea of ​​​​wanting to go all out is not impossible. Zhang Lingyou has the strength and confidence to ensure that he does not overturn, but the number of humans is still too small.

And, for the sake of insurance for the big plan, it’s impossible to leave them all.

More than 200 billion people do seem like a lot, but there are many routes to take.

After the group of people had finished reading the plan, Zhang Lingyou, who was thinking about it, began to talk.

Genetic ascension, do you want to transform into a beast? Do humans adopt variable musculature or do they follow the Eldar in deboning?

Should the mechanical ascension retain their own consciousness, learn from cyberpunk, and only add enhanced prosthetics; or should they learn from the Hive Mind and combine all their consciousness into one ball?

Or maybe a mix of muscles and machinery?

There’s more to psychic ascension.

Dividing the 200 billion people down, a billion or so per road would be good, but it is not enough to form a database for reference.

Well, one more thing.

What kind of armor do humans use?

The answer is stroller modification.

Because some of the previous events were too explosive, the Eldar high-level officials were almost crazy about the Tau Empire and the Terminator Armor.

If you use it carelessly, you should probably be prepared to fight with the Eldar. Zhang Lingyou doesn't want to fight with the Spirit Clan now. Everyone has their own work to do. In order to complete the task, there is no way to fight. If you fight to complete the task by the way, there is no priority.

Moreover, the main reason why power armor can be used in situations where there are many parts, difficult to repair, and there are many restrictions on the battlefield is that it is very suitable for the physical enhancement of the Astartes monks.

Astartes is already very expensive, so it is more reasonable and acceptable to give a canned skin to further increase the added value and make the can worth the money and exert a higher value.

Now this thing is not very useful. There are too many armor-breaking weapons. The weapons held by the fire dragon warriors of the Eldar can easily melt gold and burn jade. The Necrons' atomic activation weapons can break the reinforcement of microscopic particles and allow atoms to spread quickly and freely; the Orcs' dimensional radiation cannons can ignore armor, penetrate the skin of cans, and heat the meat inside.

Moreover, in order to be flexible, the power armor must have some parts that require soft materials to connect, and it cannot be made to fit perfectly.

Oh, now that I think of it, there are weapons.

Attaching various tactical accessories to the gun can effectively improve the combat efficiency of soldiers.

However, not only are tactical accessories expensive, but accessories management and teammate versatility are also poor. Everyone’s preferences are different, which can cause all kinds of trouble.

Anyone who has played games knows that as long as the line-filling army can occupy the space, the less it costs, the better. The human empire of 40K gave big hair a flashlight, which is its own national situation, but the light gun is not usable now, it is just a piece of garbage.

Needless to say, the power of these combined, the price can also cause myocardial infarction.

Separate equipment and logistics explode; distribute it collectively and military affairs rise to the sky.

[This is really annoying to calculate. War weapons don’t require so much work. You can hit wherever you point it, so you don’t have to worry.]

Besides, for large-scale equipment, the versatility must be good, the gun shield and sight must be integrated, and it must have excellent scalability. It is best to record personal preferences in the form of parameters to ensure that changing guns can also achieve personal needs. muscle memory, so...

So subroutine number one took out the deflagration ray gun.

The power is very good. As an individual weapon, it has a range of seven kilometers. It is highly effective in igniting organisms and electromagnetic interference in metal objects. It is very suitable for its positioning.

The problem lies in the appearance. Looking at this weapon, which is almost the same as the water spray gun of the Titanium Lehuo clan, Zhang Lingyou threw the design into the trash can. This thing is unlucky for Titanium.

The damage of spectral weapons is average, and the electromagnetic weapons Necrons are already maxed out.

Faced with the current situation, the individual weapon launched by Zhang Lingyou is a modified version of the nerve herniation crushing gun.

As a weapon of the Death Mark Assassin, it is extremely damaging to nerves, circuits and other equipment. To release psychic energy, a psyker needs his or her own neural circuits to participate. If this thing is burned, what will it be used to cast?

The same goes for the Necrons. If the logical core is destroyed, they will be finished.

Zhang Lingyou remembered clearly the nerve crushing gun, Gaussian disintegration cannon, and some atomic disintegration weapons. These weapons were commonly used in the dark technological era of mankind. The later human empire could not afford them, which made it appear that the empire was stretched.

It doesn't matter, the Star God created it, and the revision is just to weaken the power, otherwise it will cause damage to the world structure if it is too powerful.

Considering that the battlefield is a comprehensive confrontation zone, weapons and armor must be organically combined.

It must not only have excellent adaptability to harsh environments, but also have the versatility and adaptability of modules that can be replaced at any time. Finally, it must have all-terrain adaptability and flight capabilities, and have a means of protecting internal personnel.

Subroutine 1: Where are you making a stroller? Just build a baby-caring robot, and say "Baby, please get on board~" to the driver when it starts.

Zhang Lingyou: Okay, thank you very much! Just make a stroller!

After a long discussion of tens of thousands of words, Zhang Lingyou decided to combine the Victory Mecha and Modis Dauntless.

It also puts a complete pilot into the sarcophagus, and then puts the sarcophagus into the fearless control center. The driver controls Fearless through neural links. Once damaged, the phase transfer field inside the sarcophagus is activated, pulling the driver back.

This vehicle has many advantages: few parts and easy to replace; modular design, no complicated structural design, strong battlefield adaptability; the fire control system is simple and practical, and it is difficult to make mistakes; auxiliary aiming and other equipment are integrated, and data can be transferred , the driver adapts quickly; the design of two short legs ensures the adaptability to the battlefield and can travel in any area; the anti-gravity engine on the back is the main means of movement, and it moves quickly.

Compared with power armor, the flexibility is definitely a bit worse, but the firepower, survivability and logistics supply difficulty are greatly reduced.

Weapons, such as atomic disintegration weapons, are paired with adaptive twin-barreled short assault cannons that can fire a variety of bullets, from mini-nuclear bombs to searing killing rays that draw their energy from the planet's magnetosphere.

The most important thing is that this kind of equipment can effectively cooperate with Zhang Lingyou's combat system.

Not only humans are on the ground battlefield, there are also other races that are loyal to Zhang Lingyou or are controlled. The giant Son of Behemut, because of his huge size, was equipped with thick armor and a mini version of the magnificent prism that could pull the power of stars. It acted as a mobile war fortress unit, providing dual air and ground fire support.

Zhang Lingyou said that he would talk to the other party first and send his troops to fight the three empires twice to ask them to exercise restraint. After that, he would go to work in the high-dimensional secret room and contact him if anything happened.

Sigma received a mission letter from Zhang Lingyou, which stated the direction, goal and final mission of the expedition.

The target areas given in the book are scattered here and there. In many areas, there is no sense in capturing them at all, but I still know that I have to make heavy sacrifices to capture them.

There are also some areas and locations where Zhang Lingyou has given preset plans. Although the combat plan is simple and obviously divorced from reality, Chang Kaishen cannot make such an outrageous script-type strategic plan, but Zhang Lingyou is not the kind of person who is idle. The existence of boredom will waste human resources.

Everyone saw that Zhang Lingyou had arranged everything. Maybe there were some unacceptable regulations in it, but no one said anything. They gave it to them for free. It would be rude to mention that he had difficulties.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Lingyou was obviously in a good mood. He looked at the starry sky and said, "A guest is coming from the plateau of Cathay. Sigma, how about you go and meet him?"

"Who is coming? I'm so prepared."

"Ah, some homeless reformers for freedom and equality."

PS: The content of this chapter is difficult to break up. Anyway, the word count has reached the standard, so it is combined into one chapter.

This chapter uses the official prototype of the setting

Archaeological pistols are ancient handguns dating back to the Dark Ages of Technology. The pistol can fire a variety of bullets, from miniature nuclear bombs to searing killing rays that draw energy from the planet's magnetosphere. During the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, the Archaeological Pistol was often the secondary weapon of high-ranking Imperial officers and Space Marine commanders.

Atomic disintegration weapons are a type of ancient human technology. A relic from the dark age of technology, these weapons can reduce their targets to atoms in the blink of an eye. Very dangerous and rarely used.

A metal spiked electromagnetic rifle that fires thin needles of liquefied metal. It can be replenished using almost any metal raw material. The user simply feeds the metal chunks or pellets into the large hopper at the rear of the gun. Its internal battery can melt them into ammunition, which is then fired through electromagnetic acceleration. When fired, the weapon tapers down the barrel, firing short, ultra-hot, ultra-sharp metal needles in a series of 4-6 stings.

This kind of weapon should be the weapon used by early human colonists for self-defense and convenient supply.
