Chapter 174 Son of the Void

Fu Qinghai came to the top of a ruin with a wide view and found Koshvito lurking there.

The Spartan warrior lay quietly in the ruins and garbage, his matte black Thor's hammer power armor blending in with the surrounding environment, and he held a long gun in his hand.

This sci-fi-looking gun is painted in light gray and black, and the barrel looks like two metal bars clamped together with a certain gap in the middle.

Fu Qinghai understood what a magnetic rail weapon was at a glance.

Fu Qinghai slowly crawled to his side, connected to the short-range radio frequency communication channel, and said:

"I have obtained enough intelligence. How are the results on your side, Kesh?"

"Hold on."

Koshvito whispered, his face hidden by a golden mask, he moved the muzzle of the gun slightly and pulled the trigger.

A light blue electric arc flashed between the two magnetic tracks of the barrel, and a sharp whistle that broke through the air sounded.

"Bang!"

Fu Qinghai looked in the direction the gun was pointing, and his field of vision instantly zoomed in, just in time to see a corpse with a shattered chest.

Koshvito raised his arms and snapped his fingers.

Several gang members who had been lying in ambush nearby quickly rushed out from various ambush points, stealing equipment and collecting bodies.

Koshvituo looked at Fu Qinghai and said,

"The last one is done. Go ahead, Qingshan."

Fu Qinghai asked,

"Railgun?"

Koshvito nodded and said,

"Yes, the full name is 'Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920', abbreviated as 'ARC-920'. How about it, do you Space Marines have it?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head:

"There really isn't any Space Marine."

It must be admitted that the Imperium of Man and the Adeptus Mechanicus do not have the technology to master electromagnetic coil acceleration weapons. The only one in the Warhammer 40K universe that has mastered similar technology is the Tau Empire.

Koshvito was immediately delighted:

"Wow, I finally got a chance to win the game."

Koshvito couldn't help but continue to show off,

"I also have a needle gun captured from the Covenant. Do you Space Marines have this kind of weapon?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head: "No."

The needle-shaped ammunition fired by the needle gun is something called "Subanis Crystal". Not only does the human Empire in the Warhammer 40K universe not have it, but the UNSC in the Halo universe, which is good at reverse-engineering Covenant technology, also does not have it.

"Hehehehe…"

Koshveto was immediately delighted.

There is a significant difference between Warhammer 40K and other science fiction IPs. The human Empire and the Mechanicus in the Warhammer 40K universe are prohibited from researching alien technology.

In the Halo universe, at the beginning, human technology was very backward, and was defeated by the more technologically advanced Covenant, suffering heavy losses. Many colonies were burned into glass balls by the Covenant's warships. Later, after years of war, human technology continued to reverse-engineer the Covenant's weapons and equipment, and a great explosion of human technology appeared one after another. Many powerful weapons appeared one after another, such as energy shields, magnetic rail weapons, laser weapons, etc., and the evolution from live ammunition weapons to directed energy weapons was completed.

The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) has a special division called the Reverse Engineering and Prototyping Division.

But the human empire is different. Fu Qinghai wants to study alien weapons, which theoretically involves certain risks, and most technical priests will not study alien weapons.

Fu Qinghai looked at the armored warrior in front of him, who was as happy as a two-meter-three-meter-tall child. He really couldn't bear to hit him.

Spartan warriors are also biochemically modified humans. The second phase of Spartan can be regarded as the strongest phase, with an average height of about two meters.

Fu Qinghai thought about it and decided to put an end to Koshveto's arrogance in order to establish the dominant position and the relationship of priority in future cooperation.

Fu Qinghai asked,

"Keshi, besides the railgun and the needle gun, you should have other powerful weapons and equipment, right?"

Koshvito nodded: "Of course."

No one would reveal all their cards to others when they meet for the first time. During the comparison between Koshveto and Fu Qinghai when they first met, neither of them mentioned what their weapons were.

Fu Qinghai then asked:

"So can you make these weapons?"

Koshvito was stunned for a moment and said:

"No, these are weapons and equipment issued by the UNSC. I brought them here using assimilation points."

He looked up at Fu Qinghai with some surprise, thinking, isn't that you?

Fu Qinghai said:

"I will. All the weapons and equipment I use, including this suit of armor, were made by me personally."

Uh this...Koshvito was stunned.

Koshveto was just a soldier and a fighter, with at most the identity of a top instructor. He had only received training in the Spartan Program since he was a child. His micro flamethrower and micro tracking missile launcher were all modified by someone in the Star Wars universe. He subconsciously thought that Fu Qinghai was the same as him.

Fu Qinghai pointed to the skull gear symbol on his shoulder armor and said:

"Do you know what this sign means?"

Koshvito shook his head:

"Hulda told me that it is the symbol of the Martian Mechanicus, a powerful force in the human empire."

"A force that occupies half of the human empire."

Fu Qinghai emphasized this, and then asked:

"Can you create a Spartan warrior?"

Koshvito said,

"That's something that ONI's scientists from Section 3 are researching. It has nothing to do with me."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said,

"I can create space warriors."

That's right, since Master Quinto is a geneticist among technical priests, and also a powerful biological sage, strictly speaking, Fu Qinghai is not only a technical sergeant, but also a pharmacist. At least he is proficient in the entire process of the 19 transformation operations of Space Marines, from cultivation to implantation.

The Spartan warrior was speechless. Without turning on the perspective, Fu Qinghai could guess the deflated expression on Kosheveto's face under the golden mask.

Fu Qinghai patted Koshveto's shoulder armor and smiled without saying anything.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Koshveto squeezed out a voice from between his teeth:

"You are awesome."

You are awesome! For a man, these four words are the highest level of praise.

In the second round of competition, Koshveto was defeated again.

While the two were chatting, the Spartan gang's thugs had already surrounded them with the weapons and equipment they had captured.

Koshvito said,

"As usual, distribution according to work. This group of hunters was led into the ambush by Buzz Dulles, so he made the greatest contribution. This laser sniper rifle belongs to you, Buzz."

Koshveto handed a laser gun with a sight from the trophy to a man wearing a cloth hood on his head, and he took the weapon with peace of mind.

Fu Qinghai stared at the man with the cloth bag on his head for a second and asked softly:

"Son of the Void?"

The man in the cloth cover turned around, with a look of doubt in his eyes through the two round holes in the cloth cover, and asked,

"Can you see my face?"

His accent is weird.

Koshvito was also curious:

"Qingshan, does your eyepiece have a perspective function?"

Fu Qinghai looked at the man in the cloth coat in front of him and nodded slightly.

Koshvito explained,

"You're right. Buzz is indeed the Son of the Void. He was kicked off the ship by his captain. His identity caused him to be discriminated against in the Lower Nest. No one was willing to accept him, but I didn't mind, so I took him into the gang."

The time span of the Human Empire's regular interstellar voyages is very long. Some ships never even stop. The crews gradually adapt to the disruption of real space by the subspace, and breed generation after generation of offspring in the cold cabins. These people born in spaceships are called Sons of the Void, and are a legend widely circulated among various worlds and interstellar travelers.

In fact, changes in gravity, cosmic radiation, and subspace distortion have caused these humans who have stayed on the spacecraft from pregnancy to birth to undergo a certain degree of mutation, including pale skin, slight deformities, strange language and gait, or an unusual appearance. Even if some people appear to be fine on the outside, outsiders can still feel that something is wrong from their aura.

It was through the perspective function of the eyepiece that Fu Qinghai saw the man's strange blue-white skin and sparse, fine black hair.

The Void Children suffer discrimination in the Empire. Many citizens of the Empire believe that these people will bring bad omens and misfortunes, and are unwilling to get close to them. It is rare to see a Void Child on the surface of a planet. Most people will never get off the ship from birth to death.

Koshvito smiled and said:

"You don't believe in those superstitious beliefs, do you, Qingshan? Buzz is very familiar with the dark environment. He is like home when he drills the pipes in the Schwerin hive. He is a capable man under my command."

"The stinky bottom nest is about the same as the deep end of the ship, maybe even better."

The man named Buz echoed the words, his voice coming through the breathing valve and the cloth bag, sounding a little muffled.

Fu Qinghai ignored Koshvito's words, stared at Buzz's face, and asked directly:

"How long have you been in the Schwerin Hive?"

"Uh, two or two years."

Boots scratched his hood, and was obviously nervous and stuttering in response to the Space Marine's questions.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

"According to the information I just learned, after the rebellion, the Schwerin hive has been shrouded in a subspace storm for decades, and no fleet has ever visited the hive during this period. Which ship were you driven off from? Could it be... the Goddess of Luck?"

Hearing the familiar term, Koshveto was startled and quickly turned to look at Buzz.

The Son of the Void was also slightly stunned, and said,

"Yes, it is the Goddess of Luck."

Koshveto cried:

"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier?"
