Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"No matter what this place was originally used for, the things built by ancient people have become our trouble now."

"As far as I know, there are ancient self-destruct mechanisms left in the metal above and around the passage."

Klein squatted on the ground, gesturing with his fingers on the drawing he had drawn.

"This self-destruction mechanism is not fancy, but it is reliable and effective enough."

"In short, they are bombs placed in metal walls, connected to a self-healing detonation button."

"When the button is pressed, the bombs in the wall will be detonated. The giant metal fragments peeled off are enough to block the passage, but what's even more terrible is that there is a second ring of bombs in the wall. This ring of bombs has a similar effect. To the melta gun.”

"First, the metal fragments peeled off, and then the torrent of molten metal poured into every gap, turning these metal fragments into a whole, blocking the 900-kilometer-long channel."

"My Lord, I can't imagine what the person who designed this was thinking."

After speaking, Klein picked up the drawing and handed it to Anreda.

"Do you know the self-destruction mechanism of this channel quite well?" Qin Mo asked in surprise.

"Of course, my family is the oldest engineering family on the planet." Klein had an unconcealable pride on his face. "The story of my family's success is all related to these self-destruct mechanisms."

"About 1,700 years ago, my ancestors undertook a secret project formulated by the governor at that time and spent thirty years taking out a melta bomb from the wall."

"At that time, a war broke out in Tyron Hive. Rebels organized by an unknown sect were fighting fiercely with the planetary defense forces."

"Just when everyone thought that the then governor would use the bomb for military purposes, he used bombs to blow up the area where another noble family was located, turning a large number of buildings into molten iron."

After listening to the story told by Klein, Qin Mo said with emotion: "It seems that this is also a skill passed down by governors from generation to generation."

"Their family's skills passed down from generation to generation are not just about playing with bombs," Klein said.

The three of them stood together and stared at the obstacles in the passage.

When the chat was over, Qin Mo raised his hand and tried to see if he could use his ability to get through here quickly.

Klein had no hope for this. After all, he was present when Qin Mo built the fortress. The outer walls of the fortress were attached piece by piece. Compared with the obstacles blocking the entire passage, the fortress was like a small house.

But you have to try everything.

After Qin Mo concentrated on mobilizing the power of the Star God, the metal in front of the three people began to flow, flowing down the slope like a liquid, and then was controlled by Qin Mo to stick to the walls around the passage.

The giant walls made of metal fragments solidified together are rapidly recovering.

At this time, Qin Mo recalled what Mimic said and realized that his power was indeed gradually recovering.

If instead of digging this giant passage and building a fortress, it would only take a second for the fortress to rise from the ground.

Half an hour later, Qin Mo gave up: "It's a drop in the bucket, I feel like I'm trying to fill the ocean with stones."

Anruida didn't know what the ocean was, but Klein did, so he could understand what Qin Mo meant.

"Are these obstacles tightly sealed inside?" Qin Mo suddenly thought, "If we can get inside the obstacles and install melt bombs in the gaps..."

As he spoke, Qin Mo walked towards the obstacle and distorted the physical laws in a large area around his body, allowing metal to be penetrated like air.

Klein and Anruida were already used to it when they saw Qin Mo penetrate the wall and enter.

After waiting for ten minutes, Qin Mo came back and explained the situation to the two of them: "The inside was filled with molten iron, and it's gone."

"What if we don't dig anymore?" Klein asked, "Just like you enter the metal, let others walk around you, and then enter the metal together, digging a big hole for rest every one kilometer, so Is that possible?”

"You don't think I'm always on call like him, do you? How are you going in without me?" Qin Mo pointed at Anruida.

"That's true..." Klein was completely at his wits' end.

Qin Mo began to think about ways to dig the passage.

In fact, it is very simple, just make construction machinery to dig, research small construction machinery and efficient metal excavation devices to dig, or build giant construction machinery equipped with energy beams to melt through the metal blocking the channels little by little.

But just when he started thinking about what kind of construction machinery to build, Qin Mo suddenly had another idea.

Since we want to create a way of interstellar navigation that is not based on subspace in the future, why not start researching it now?

Start with relevant technologies and make some basic things until you expand the entire technology tree and become proficient in its use.

Qin Mo himself didn't know what this technology would be, but he felt that this passage was like the distance between galaxies, and there was always a way to cross it.

Qin Mo looked at Klein, "Not only will I not dig this blocked channel, I will also strengthen it so that it cannot be broken through and destroyed."

"Are we going to stay in the bottom nest forever?" Klein suddenly felt something was wrong.

"No, we can still go in and out, but we don't need to go in and out through this passage." Qin Mo walked towards the train, "Others, don't waste time on this passage. If each regiment can't find rebels who can attack, then Just do training and drills.”

…

After returning to the fortress, Qin Mo decided to conduct a long study, and before that he had to settle everything.

If, as Mimic said, there is a bigger conspiracy on this planet and it is being corroded, then we must make plans to live in the Bottom Nest for a long time, instead of everyone leaving the Bottom Nest together and never coming back.

The establishment of the new city of Cato was imminent.

Qin Mo instructed the main control intelligence to drive the logistics machinery to build a new city. This city should be built like a fortress, and ensure that electricity and water can be connected to every corner of the city, and there should be a large number of arsenals and forts.

Civilians will live under various forts in the city. They will usually be workers in the arsenal. During wartime, they will operate the forts as a family unit and participate in defense.

There would be a shelter in the center of the city, which would be a shelter for children in times of war, but in normal times it would be a school.

Schools will not teach physical arts because they are too extravagant, and students will only learn how to identify the enemy and how to fight the enemy.

Qin Mo will not dream of building a utopian city, but he will ensure that people in this city can easily get what they have to pay to get, which is food and fresh water.

After arranging everything, Qin Mo devoted himself to research. He quickly thought of the direction in which he should conduct research.

That is to create shortcuts that can travel through alternate spaces and dimensions - the human application version of Necron phase transfer technology.
