Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Except for the sporadic sounds of buttons and indicator lights changing, the bridge was almost dead silent.

The officers looking at the navigation monitoring screen couldn't help but sweat.

At this time, the Epic had activated the shadow field, mixed in a group of asteroids, and she was attached to a large rock, as if she was anchored on it.

Almost all equipment except the life support system was turned off, minimizing the probability of being detected by the enemy.

The interior of the entire ship was a dark blue, like the bottom of the sea.

Horatio stared at the blue light in front of him.

The Tau Empire patrol ship with lake blue lights made a faint sound and passed over his bridge.

The light illuminated the bridge and everyone's face. This part of the shadow field looked slightly unnatural in the reflection of the glass structure of the bridge.

If you look closely, you can quickly find this abnormality.

But fortunately, Horatio asked the crew to moor the ship in the middle of the meteorite in advance, and according to the description of the Thei Inquisitor, the Nicasar people have no eyes.

"The universe is so magical. There are actually meteorites as thin as needles."

The Nicasar operators sensed the asteroid belt next to them through unique sensors and communicated in a unique language.

They have ivory fur and short clawed limbs. They have no eyes, but rely on the psychic sense of the head organs to perceive the surrounding environment.

This happened to be what Horatio wanted. He and Inquisitor Thei bullied these Tau Empire vassal troops because they had no eyes and could not see the loopholes of the Epic.

These Nicasar people did sense the existence of the Epic, but they passed it by as a floating meteorite.

Although there were some Tau warriors stationed on these mast ships who were responsible for supervision and management, and promoted their heretical doctrine of the Greater Good.

But those meteorites that continued to float irregularly well covered up the loopholes of this immature technology on the E-type attack ship, confusing the eyes of the Tau warriors on the bridge, so that they over-reliant on the Nicasar people did not find anything unusual when they passed over the Epic.

No one spoke on the bridge of the Epic, and everyone stared nervously at the two large and deadly (for attack ships) patrol masts passing by less than 10 kilometers above their heads.

It turns out that if the enemy does not discover and pursue, hiding in the gas cloud and asteroid belt can better cover the whereabouts of the warships without actively turning on the detection wave, even without turning on the shadow field, not to mention the blessing of the shadow field.

Boom! Hey! ! Just when everyone held their breath and prayed that the two Nikasar masts passing by would not discover them.

Suddenly, a harsh collision sound came from the right rear of the ship, and the whole ship moved slightly.

"What's the situation?" Horatio felt the unpleasant forbearance of the Epic machine soul, and then asked with a frown.

"A floating meteorite hit the front hull of the right rear fin of our ship, and the pressurized bulkhead was slightly damaged. The air leakage rate is 35 cubic meters per second."

"Immediately let the damage control team conduct damage control. I hope it won't be a big deal."

"Yes, Captain. The fifth damage control team, immediately go to the front hull of the right rear fin closest to you to repair the leak, but don't make too much noise."

The damage control team members who were ready to go immediately set out. They put on heavy void suits, took electric welding, and dragged a small trailer loaded with repair tools and consumables to the destination.

The impact gap was large. The sharp part of the asteroid pushed open the side armor plate of the Epic, causing several pieces of adamantium armor plates to even deform.

But this is not the worst. A section of the pipeline laid on the ceiling above was squeezed by the rock and deformed. The "hissing" sound of air leakage can be clearly heard.

As the heavy servitor pushed the asteroid that hit the cabin out again, the fifth damage control team was able to start maintenance.

The skinny old man first used a homemade copper tool to listen closely to the pipe, and then took out a yellow hammer and knocked it lightly.

He felt the slight vibration of the air leakage along the hull. When other damage control team members were still looking for holes in the tall bulkhead with flashlights, old man Joe had already found the leaking position of the pipe through his old friend.

"Close the valve."

After the other damage control team members tightened the valve, the old man with green-skinned skills did not take long to connect the damaged part.

But soon, he found another problem.

The valve that supplies coolant to the right auxiliary engine was damaged in the collision, and others could not tighten the valve to cut off the delivery of coolant.

They reported the situation immediately, and the chief technical priest Lati learned about the damage through the servo skull and servitor sent over, and connected the captain's communication.

"What is the damage, Father Lati." He asked, feeling a little worried.

"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first, Captain?"

"Good news."

"The good news is that the damage is not serious, and it can be repaired without returning to the dock."

"What about the bad news?"

"The coolant of the right auxiliary engine continues to leak, which will form a conspicuous liquid cooling mist in the void, which may make the enemy discover something unusual.

What's worse is that because of the liquid gasoline film, the shadow field of the Epic will be affected. The shadow field will be unstable in the parts blown by the liquid gasoline film. If you observe carefully, this will be a very obvious flaw. It is more obvious than the reflection interference of the bridge glass on the shadow field that you are worried about."

"Have the fifth damage control team cut off the valve immediately."

"The valve has been damaged."

"The God Emperor is above! Let them find a way to deal with it. This is their responsibility! It must be fast!"

"As you wish, Captain."

The pressure was placed on the fifth damage control team.

Everyone was whispering.

"Today, if you want to block the leak, you can only go outside with a plugging felt. The Epic is in danger of being discovered by the enemy. Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Every second counts now. "said the captain of the fifth damage control team.

"But - there is no maintenance entrance nearby that can allow us to reach the outside of this cabin in a short time." A damage control team member said hesitantly.

Just when everyone is thinking about how to enter the outside as quickly as possible.

Old man Qiao had an idea.

"Isn't there a close-defense artillery position above us? Go there and try it!"

A group of people immediately rushed to the side defense gun position of the Epic.

With the coordination of the gunnery commander and the help of the Adeptus Mechanicus maintenance nurse, they moved a close-in defense gun and gained a way out.

Each smaller member of the fifth damage control team tried to get out from the firing port of the close-in defense gun protruding from the ship's hull, but the thick void suit and strong muscles made them all fail unsurprisingly.

Even Old Man Qiao only reached out halfway, but ended up getting stuck in his butt.

Even if you apply oil or use other methods, you can't get out from there.

Just when everyone was wondering what to do, Old Man Qiao suddenly looked at his younger son who was doing the trick next to him.

"Boy, come here."

Old man Qiao caught his youngest son,

"What are you doing? Dad."

"Wear it!"

Old man Qiao put his void helmet on his youngest son's head.

Of course, the equipment warehouse couldn't find a void suit suitable for the youngest son's body type - no one would think of producing an extra-small void suit for a boat boy who was not part of the crew.

Fortunately, the ingenious old man Qiao had already considered the situation that his youngest son would need to walk in the void for some reason. He collected several sets of scrapped void suits and various scraps, trying to use his green-skinned tech master to Transform the technology and piece together a set of "extra small" void suit semi-finished products.

Now he was finally allowed to take apart a brand new void suit, and with the help of several other people, he finally completed it.

"Listen, get out from here, cover this leak-proofing felt from the outside, and then reinforce it.

When you're done, use this communicator to tell us to pick you up. "

"Dad, are you sure I can survive until I come back alive?" The younger son looked embarrassed, and his timid voice came out dully through the helmet.

"I'm lucky! Go! There's no time, go quickly!"

"But dad, here, here, and here, they are all taped together! I can't see any seams in other people's covers. Is this one secure?"

"I promise, this thing will keep you alive for at least half an hour."

"Dad, you didn't deceive me, did you?"

"Silly boy, have I ever fooled you once when you have grown up?"

At Old Man Qiao's urging, his youngest son, wearing this tattered version of the 'Void Suit' that looked unreliable, fearfully peeked out.

Since this void protective suit is tailor-made to a special size, it can just fit through the firing hole of the close-in defense cannon, but it would not be possible if it were any thicker.

In this way, the young man was forced to dive into the cold and ruthless void, and immediately broke out in cold sweat - the original intention of making it was to make do in a short time to save his life, and the final process was even more hasty, so the craftsmanship was not guaranteed at all.

He could clearly hear the creaking of every joint in this tattered body—the sound of air leakage.

"Dad, it's okay. I--I'm out."

"This is a leak-proofing felt. You learned how to do it during training. Don't let the captain down!

If you accomplish this, you are the tough guy who saved everyone on the ship! Those melons will never dare to rub your cockscomb again.

It's done, dad, I'll risk my life again, please captain, you'll have it in your life! "
