Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 283 05.0282: ‘Enter the Warp’

The Indefatigable ignited its blue plasma engine, and the entire strike squadron was slowly heading for a lonely void building in the distant void.

It was a space megastructure, with an opening in the middle that was large enough for the largest warships of the Empire to pass through, like a star gate.

This is the Mandeville Point beacon, under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Fleet.

All ships in this system will enter the Warp channel from here.

When the defensive artillery on the megastructure fired 24 salutes at the fleet that was about to sail away.

Inside the ship, the priests of the Church of England murmured hymns, and thousands of gray-robed servants began to sing along.

When the Indefatigable sailed into the Mandeville Point beacon.

Click, click, click!

The huge roller curtain slowly dropped from above, tightly covering all the portholes of the ship.

This was the final preparation for entering the Warp.

From this point on, the Indefatigable and other ships will lose all external observation vision, relying only on the auspex detection equipment and the external coordination of the communications department to ensure that the ships will not collide.

"'Sacred Shield', you are too close to the 'Star Fire', evade your ship in the 36° direction!" Horatio used the points on the auspex to represent the flagship to adjust the safe distance to other ships.

This is just the beginning. When the ship enters the subspace, turns off the engine, shuts down the void shield, activates the Geller force field, and drifts with the turbulence of the subspace.

They also have to work with the astropaths to ensure that several unpowered floating warships and supply ships around will not collide with each other.

It can be said that they are shouldering a mission of great significance.

"Geller force field is ready!" The captain of the power department reported.

"The subspace engine is debugged normally!" The lieutenant of the power department reported.

In the subspace engine compartment, binary chants sounded in strange chanting.

The mechanical sage on the ship led many priests to start debugging the final parameters.

The members of the navigator family closed the heavy explosion-proof door outside the navigation tower.

As a wave with a strange sound covered all the cabins of the ship except the navigation tower, the process before the subspace jump has been fully prepared.

When the ship enters the subspace, in fact, only the fragile bodies of the navigators of each ship will be directly in the subspace vortex.

Horatio heard from the crew privately that when the ship enters the subspace, the sealed navigation tower is an extremely terrible scene that cannot be imagined.

Soon, the strange sound disappeared, which means that the Geller force field has completely wrapped the entire ship.

Buzz!

As the Mandeville Point beacon building emitted a buzzing sound.

Swish, swish, swish, the sound of the distortion of the physical universe came from the bow of the ship, even through the blocking steel curtain and the heavy explosion-proof void glass.

"The subspace channel is stable, and the controllable subspace rift is unfolding. The rest of the warships are ready for the jump."

"Allowed to enter!" Commodore Perru gave the order.

"Start advancing! All equipment terminals are ready for jump self-inspection!"

The 5.3-kilometer-long Indefatigable was the first to break through the curtain in the distortion of the physical universe, and was sucked in by the torn rift.

Horatio stood on the bridge, concentrating and holding his breath. He didn't know what it looked like outside, and he didn't want to know.

In a burst of uncomfortable tinnitus and flatulence, he could guess that he had arrived in the subspace.

This feeling was like someone holding his head in the water, which was a bit uncomfortable.

"First time in the subspace jump? It feels wonderful, isn't it?" The captain next to him asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Horatio really wanted to use his little finger to reach into the ear hole to dig it out to relieve the discomfort.

But in front of so many officers, he didn't want to be the first to make such an indecent move.

"Take a breath, then press your eardrum, but don't use too much force." The captain could see that the rookie lieutenant was not used to it yet, so he gave him a tip.

"It's indeed much better." Horatio did as he was told, and the discomfort was indeed relieved a lot.

"When we enter the subspace from the physical universe, even in a warship protected by a Geller force field, its physical laws will be slightly distorted. But you will adapt after one jump."

"How long does a subspace jump usually last?"

"It's hard to say, but as long as it's not a super long-distance jump, it usually won't exceed a few months each time.

Jumps between sub-stellar intervals usually only take a few days, and cross-sector jumps usually last for a few weeks."

Horatio knew very well that this was mainly caused by the inability to use any engines in the subspace.

Warships can only wait for the subspace turbulence to push them to their destination like large sailing ships floating on a windless sea.

But with the arrival of the end of M41, the subspace turbulence became more and more turbulent.

The average sailing time was greatly shortened.

But the price is that if you are not careful, the ship will collide with nearby ships and ruins that will always remain in the warp channel.

Avoiding ship collisions is the responsibility of the Communications Department, and avoiding ruins collisions is the responsibility of the Lookout Department.

Although they have lost their vision, they still control the advanced divination array.

"Lieutenant, as a newcomer who is sailing in the warp for the first time, I, as the captain, must remind you of a few key points you need to know during your journey in the warp."

"Please feel free to teach me, Captain."

"First, when the ship bell rings the sixth time in the early morning of Terra.

If you are walking in the corridor and hear someone calling your name, don't look back, otherwise you may be devoured by the "Siren" soul.

At 7 o'clock on Terra time, you cannot use the toilet or have sex.

The former will make something you will never forget come out of your stomach, and the latter will make something you will never forget come out of your bed partner's stomach.

When Terra time is 8 o'clock in the evening, do not hold any sharp objects in your hands unless you want to see someone die in your hands.

Also, at 9 o'clock in the evening, do not go up and down the stairs on the floor with the number 9, otherwise you will find that every floor you go up and down is the original floor, and you will never be able to get out of it.

Finally, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon (13 o'clock), the bell rings, stand still, follow the compass, and perform the Eagle Salute in the direction of Holy Terra. ”

[Subspace weird talk is true.]

Horatio was choked, but then he remembered it firmly in his heart.

After all, this is the Subspace, nothing is impossible, and these seemingly unreasonable taboos are bloody lessons learned after tragic cases.

"During the Subspace voyage, you can eat, drink, and sleep. You can use the ship's living and entertainment facilities at will, or try to find a few bedmates. Whatever makes you comfortable, you must have a good attitude. Negative emotions will only put you and others in danger. But everything should not be overdone.

Also, unless you want to have a son of the void as an heir, remember to take contraceptive measures.

The supplies can be found in the bedside table of the officer's bedroom. The accountant will send servants to replenish the room regularly, so there is no need to worry about running out of supplies. ”

"...Understood, Captain. ”

[Officers on warships really live the life of an aristocrat in a flying hive city.]

But as mortals with normal emotions, this is still within a reasonable range, and there is nothing to be surprised about in the human empire.

The ship's bell rang again.

The captain looked at his watch and then at the shift schedule. The eight hours of the first shift had passed.

"Gentlemen, now is the navigation duty state. According to the shift schedule, I am responsible for the next shift, and you can be dismissed."

"Yes! "Horatio and the two lieutenants saluted.

At this time, two-thirds of the officers on the entire command bridge left one after another.

Captain Peru also left his fleet command throne, and the battleship was replaced by Captain Lord Sterling.

Compared with the three-shift rotation system of the ship's departments, the captain and the lieutenant only have two shifts.

One person has 12 hours, and leaving the position does not mean that you can rest.

The captain has to check the first day's navigation log, and the lieutenant has to write the lieutenant's log prescribed by his duties when it is time to take a break.

The third log is the navigation log written by the captain of the navigation department.

These three logs will record the situation of each day of the voyage from different angles, estimate the number of deaths, material reserves, route planning, officer rewards and punishments, and keep them for record.

In case of any accident, the naval military court will cross-verify the contents recorded in the three logs to determine whether the captain and his subordinate officers are guilty or derelict of duty. Behavior.

Before leaving his post, Horatio checked the communication log recorded by the clerk of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and checked the communication sending and receiving time according to the backup he recorded.

After confirming that there was no problem, he walked onto the officer elevator.

He was going to see where he would live in the next few months.

The Farida uniform extra chapter after 279 has been sent to the full subscription group.

I had never thought of setting up two groups before, but until one day, someone came to my book friend group and said proudly that he had moved my book to Biquge, and also sent a link in the group.

I was sick of jumping on his face.

The reason why I had to delay the posting of the extra chapter for a day was that I hadn't created the group yet.jpg

I'll do it when I have time today.

It's done. Qidian's "only for full subscription users" does not include VIP discounts (raw grass).

VIP users may have full subscriptions but not enough points.

In this case, you can join the book friend group, and then send me a private message with a screenshot of the full subscription, and I will pull it in.
