Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The snow-white light shines on that smooth surface. I have seen many ships and many more metals, ancient, modern and future, but I dare say that none of them are as beautiful as it.

Different from the strangely shaped spirit bones of the Eldar, different from the mysterious creations of the Necron, and not even the weird beauty contained in those demonic engines, this is a kind of pure beauty, a smooth mirror reflecting its Essence, and the essence of everything around it.

On the smooth surface, the fiery red hair was reflected one by one. Yeta looked at herself in the mirror. Every strand of her hair, even the tiniest eyelashes, was completely reflected. On the surface of this thing, it is like the most transparent mirror in the world, reflecting the most flawless beauty, but Yeta knows that it is not a mirror, it is a boat.

The Skyhawk docked quietly on the deck. Its body was unique. Its smooth body was like a spindle-shaped drop of water, suspended a few inches above the ground. It was smoother than the Eldar aircraft, but it was stronger. On the surface, it is comparable to the creations of the Necron.

Compared with the creations of the current human empire, even those from the Great Crusade era, the Glory Queen-class battleships in front of it are like inferior exhibits hammered with stones by rough barbarians. No, they are not comparable to it. , Thunder Eagle, Storm Bird and everything you can imagine are as inconspicuous as dust in front of it.

It is a true work of art. When it is suspended on the deck, it is like a miraculous workmanship that has gathered the wisdom of all human master craftsmen and is displayed in a display cabinet. Its smooth hull is as if It is transparent, and it is difficult to see it directly from any field of view. Only the reflective bright strips on the edge that are deliberately displayed prove that it is indeed here.

Yeta admired this beautiful creation in surprise, unable to hide his admiration for it on his face, "It's so beautiful." "Indeed, the almighty Emperor, how could such a dazzling thing exist in the vast ocean? ”

It was Cole who responded to Yeta, and he did not hide his surprise and appreciation. Yes, this ship had been docked on his ship for many years. As early as many years ago, when the Mars-class battle cruiser boarded, it It already existed, but this was the first time Cole had come into contact with it so closely, and Vito insisted on maintaining and keeping it himself.

Like Cole, most people rarely see it, and those who have seen it can only watch it land from a distance on the deck and leave alive. This is the first time that everyone has been so close. Touch it from a distance, even.

Cole tapped his fingers lightly on its smooth surface, carefully, like a child who was afraid of breaking a piece of glassware, but he soon realized that his caution was completely unnecessary. On its hard surface, even There is no tremor, all the molecular structures are firmly locked together.

"Strong force materials, even the decomposition rays of the undead, will not leave scars if shot at it." Vito explained on the side. He obviously knew this, and he was not merciless when he struck, but he was also the last to It specifically shows its strength.

Ragna also came up and knocked on it. The Aquila was a little taller than the Space Marines, but not too much. It was a compact and smooth battleship, but even the burly Space Marines used their fists to hit it hard. Even when hit on it, it didn't make any unnecessary reaction and hovered quietly.

"Damn, it's so hard." "Of course, this material was also a rare item at the time, and it was enhanced with quantum entanglement technology inside, so it is even rarer. It can self-reflect the surrounding environment, and can even simulate the surrounding environment. Materials, such as sand, rocks, etc., can even simulate temperature. I almost missed it several times when it was parked on the ground. "Listen to you, this was also a precious creation in the golden age. How did you get it?" ?”

Cole asked curiously, but Vito just shrugged and knocked on the hull of the boat in front of him, "A long time ago, I celebrated my birthday again. Of course it was a fake one. I have long forgotten my birthday, but in At that time, a friend of mine, a female friend. ""Ah." "Don't think too much, Ragna, she is just a friend, named Cathy, and she is a doctor. She developed this material at the time and used them to create a line. Such a ship was given to me conveniently.”

Cathy was also an outstanding scholar back then, proficient in many fields. Helen was created by her. She was not only proficient in physics, biology, electronics, etc., everyone called her "the library" because The knowledge in her mind is as diverse as the books in a library.

She has many inventions and creations. Vito's flagship, the Executor, was designed by her, and Helen was born together with the Executor. Cathy once said that Helen is her proudest work, and this is true. Helen is indeed worthy of the excellent Dr. Casey's evaluation, and what many people don't know is that Helen was actually created by Casey with his own personality, so she is very similar to Casey. Many times, Vito Everyone will mistakenly think that Casey is still alive.

Of course she died, after all she was a mortal and could not live that long. Cathy was killed during the Iron Man Rebellion at the end of the Golden Age, murdered by her own creations, those artificial intelligences, an inventor, and eventually It was a vivid fable that the Emperor would have used as a warning against artificial intelligence if he had known it.

But Vito never told him, he knew what he would do, and Vito was disgusted with him using his friends as political tools. Believe me, he did do that. That time, Vito was very angry and they had a big quarrel. There was a fight, and the final result was not very pleasant.

But fortunately, this kind of thing never happened again. Although Cathy passed away unfortunately, she survived in some unique way. Her personality and memory will always live in Helen's body, making her Whenever Vito sees her, he can think of that long-lost friend, that smart, but rebellious, eccentric but considerate friend.

Vito leaned on the Aquila very proudly. He patted the silver-white ship behind him, "It can solve all our problems. All the greenskin's technology cannot detect it. Only the Eldar can, but I I doubt how much of the technology from the Eldar Empire period is left since the Great Fall of the Eldar, so I guess they can be removed.”

"Yeta, you will drive." "Me?" "Of course it's you. Yarick only has one hand. I don't want him to use that mechanical arm to scratch my cabin. Don't worry that you can't drive." , I will teach you.”

Vito stood up as he spoke. He came to Yeta, patted her shoulder and pointed to the cabin at the back. The cabin door then fell down, suddenly appeared from the originally smooth surface, and then suddenly Falling, as if it suddenly grew out of the boat, "Go in and take a look first, I know you are already curious, Cole, if you are interested, you can also go in and take a look, but please stop, Rag Na, it’s not made of powerful materials.”

Yeta nodded. She couldn't wait for a long time, so she got in. Cole didn't hide his curiosity. He also walked in from the hatch. Yeta's voice of exclamation came from the hatch. Come.

Vito showed a smile and looked at the little girl's back. Ragna and the others stayed outside, including Yarick. He might be worried that his mechanical arm would scratch the things inside as Vito said. Already?

"Yarek, do me a favor, watch her and teach her something." "What can I teach her? She already has you, doesn't she?" "Believe me, I'm not a good teacher, she learned from me I haven’t learned anything, at least nothing good, so I hope you can teach her something really useful.”

Yarick looked at Yeta who was snooping around in the cabin. She accidentally opened something on the bulkhead and curiously took out a tight-fitting suit. It immediately turned into a nanostructure and quickly covered her. The body was tight and fit perfectly, which made Yeta exclaim. Cole came to her side and looked at the tight clothes carefully, while Yeta showed Vito outside with a smile that belonged to her age. , the latter also smiled back.

"She is still very young and is prone to passion, but this is also a common characteristic of her age." "That's true. I remember that when I was her age, I was not afraid of anything, and I was the most troublesome in the group. "Be confident, you are still like a child, always young, Ragnar." "What do you mean, you are old?"

Vito smiled after listening to their words, and then pressed Yarick's shoulder, "That's why I let you go. You are the commander of this journey. Can you help me keep an eye on her? Don't let her do it." Stupid thing." "If she is really like you, my friend, I can only say that I try my best." "You remind me of someone who said the same thing to me." "Who? "Astartes." "Them?" "No, their mother."

Yes, her name is really Astarte, which has also appeared in previous stories, but it can also be translated as Astra (the name of the Greek goddess). However, considering that domestic readers are more familiar with the former one, it will be written here That’s it, but everyone should pay attention when thinking about it to avoid thinking of strange things (funny)
