Chapter 267 Postwar and Technological Crisis

With the retreat of the Chaos fleet in the void, the ground battlefield also lost its suspense.

Without Abaddon's command, the various Chaos forces could only fight on their own.

It still took a month to clear out all the remnants of Chaos within the Cadia system.

Cardia was saved after all.

Soon news of Cadia's victory spread back to Terra.

The Chaos fleet that failed to escape from the void fought a desperate battle, but their resistance was futile under the siege of dozens of chapters and a large number of fleets.

With the last Chaos warship destroyed, only a large amount of silent wreckage remained in the void.

According to rough statistics after the war, nearly two hundred Chaos warships of various levels were destroyed.

Countless Chaos prisoners were executed, as well as a large number of valuable captives.

All the Inquisitors from the nearby sectors were summoned together.

They need to get more intelligence from these traitors, and I believe that their work intensity will be incredibly high in the next period of time.

The remaining two Chaos Titan Legions were completely destroyed by the Titan Legion from Mars and the orbital strikes of the battleships.

The precious Warlord-class Titans were reduced to metal wreckage, and the Mechanicus was particularly enthusiastic about destroying these traitors.

The Titans are the rulers of the earth, but they are vulnerable to the threat of warships.

Although Abaddon's expedition failed, the damage caused to Cadia and the surrounding star regions was still enormous.

Many planets were destroyed by the extinction order, and some were even detonated. It would take a huge amount of time and cost to rebuild these planets.

These planets are all important resource and strategic planets close to the solar system.

Some planets that had completely lost their value were also directly abandoned by the Empire.

As the Exorcist Death Zone was activated, the Eye of Terror seemed to have shrunk a little. Although it was not completely closed, it was no longer expanding.

Gao Yi achieved his ultimate goal. Not only did he prevent the fall of Cadia, but he also caused great losses to the Chaos forces. It can be foreseen that in a hundred years or even longer, it will be almost impossible for them to gather a fleet sufficient to fight the Empire again.

Among the four gods, Khorne's temptation to mortals was the lowest, and the evil gods' corruption of mortals was never accomplished overnight.

This would reduce a lot of pressure on the empire.

It was a pity that the last Blackstone Fortress and the Spirit of Vengeance could not be destroyed, and Gao Yi did not know that Abaddon had been sealed by Trazyn.

Attempts to locate Abaddon during the final stages of the battle were fruitless, and the Empire speculated that Abaddon eventually retreated with his own fleet.

What Gao Yi cares most about is the battle between DOOM and Khorne.

The Khorne Realm was in a mess, and Gao Yi even asked the Emperor after it was over.

Gao Yi himself cannot spy on DOOM like he can other interstellar units.

The answer he got from the Emperor was that Khorne would definitely feel uncomfortable, but he was still a long way from killing him.

The end of the duration still allowed DOOM to escape from the Khorne domain directly, and Khorne could only watch DOOM leave in helpless rage. In this battle, Khorne lost a large amount of divine power.

Khorne suffered greater losses than anyone else. The lack of worldly faith would make it a luxury for him to recover his strength in a short period of time. He even closed his own demonic realm and went into a rare dormant state.

He not only needs to recuperate but also needs to reshape his demon army.

But as long as war still exists in the real universe, He will continue to absorb power, but without the supply of believers, the process will be much slower.

The weakening of Chaos did not make Gao Yi take it lightly. After all, humans still existed, and it would be almost impossible to kill the Four Gods under normal circumstances... Negative emotions and even positive emotions would nourish their rebirth.

And this chaos of war is not completely without gain.

Post-war intelligence showed that the Chaos side also took away a large amount of wreckage of interstellar equipment when retreating, and even an almost destroyed Gorgon was towed back into the warp by the retreating Black Oilers.

They don't know the true purpose of the jump yet, but they have all seen the effect of the tactical jump.

And these black oil guys will definitely reverse engineer these weapons and equipment.

Gao Yi didn't believe that the jump engine could be cracked by the scientific research capabilities of those black oil guys.

Without Vashtor's blessing, the black oil guys became even more miserable.

After all, although their scientific research is radical and has no restrictions, the lack of the habit and advantage of having a demon possessed has instead limited their innovation.

However, it was almost a matter of time before the combat suits were cracked. After all, the combat suits were spread too widely, and Gao Yi had no way of controlling the whereabouts of all the combat suits that were traded.

Since he first came to this world, the transaction with the Pioneer Fleet made Gao Yi realize that the technology to crack combat uniforms was completely doable in front of the priests of the Warhammer world.

However, due to cost constraints, even though the Mechanicus in the expansion zone had the technology to manufacture combat uniforms, they did not go into mass production.

Instead, they treat it as a kind of technical reserve and produce it in small quantities. After all, if they can buy relatively cheap ones from Gao Yi, why bother to produce them themselves?

The production cost of a set of combat uniforms for the detached barracks is not low. Even if the armor strength is reduced, the cost of the cold fusion core inside it alone is frighteningly high.

Individuals and elites can buy the best equipment, but once it is used on a large scale, the most cost-effective option must be chosen.

If Chaos is willing to put in the effort and pay the price, it can still produce a lot of combat uniforms to arm its own troops.

Gao Yi was worried that in the next war, his equipment would appear among the enemy's troops.

Gao Yi has to find a way to avoid this situation, or always maintain his own technology to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the enemy.

The death of Vashtor caused the Black Oilers to lose a leader, and for the remaining Black Oilers, whoever can crack these technologies will gain a higher status and voice in the Black Oilers' Creation Bishop sect.

There is even a chance to replace the dead Vashtor as the leader of the Black Oilers.

Vashtor is dead, but the forces of Chaos still can't do without these black oil guys.

They are still an important provider of chaos equipment.

Anyone who can produce combat uniforms for a Chaos warband will inevitably receive funding from a larger warband.

However, even if Chaos has a billionth of the ability to crack the jump engine, Gao Yi will nip it in the bud.

With the ability to teleport, Gao Yi knew how disgusting this thing was. He didn't want to end up clearing out the Chaos guerrillas everywhere.

What worries Gao Yi the most is not Chaos, but the Greenskins. Once the Orc forces fight against the Imperial troops with combat uniforms, it is almost certain that they will also be able to figure out the technology of combat uniforms.

Imagine how scary it would be if the green tide of orcs spread all over the world and each of them had a combat uniform.

There's no such thing as costing these guys anything.

However, if Gao Yi can load the third game program, all problems will be solved
