Chapter 222 Whisper of Qingshan
Fu Qinghai learned about the results of the space station's face-calling tactics through the hints from the reincarnation world.
At that time, No. 56 ran excitedly to the captain's room to share his joy with Fu Qinghai.
As a reincarnation and participant, No. 56 also received a reminder of the assimilation point reward.
Fu Qinghai had nothing to be proud of, and said:
"To be frank, it was just luck. I happened to guess the Mandeville point that the enemy chose when leaving the warp. If there is any lesson I learned, it is that it is really fun to make a deal with the devil. I will dare to do it again next time."
Number 56 burst into laughter when he heard this.
Even the most radical Inquisitor would not dare to publicly state such a brutal statement as "using the devil to fight the devil", but here there are only two Reincarnations bragging and talking nonsense, so it doesn't matter what outrageous words they say.
Taking this opportunity, Fu Qinghai also began his routine recruitment. He took out a bottle of "Second Best" and two cups from the wine cabinet, placed them on the desk, and said:
"Tell me about your experience, Fifty-Six."
"Why are you called Fifty-Six? Are you related to the Japanese admiral?"
"No, no, no." No. 56 explained quickly:
"The first reincarnation world I experienced was the universe of Hitman: Agent 47. Have you heard of it?"
Fu Qinghai thought for a moment and said,
"I haven't played the game, but I have seen the movie."
A very classic muffler red tie bald killer.
Angelababy played a female agent in the movie, and her awkward and stiff acting left a deep impression on Fu Qinghai.
Number 56 continued:
"Then you should know how I got my name. 47 and I were trained as assassins in the same batch. My code name is 56. I got my symbiote, Deception, by chance in the second reincarnation world of the Marvel Comics Universe, and then came to the Warhammer 40K universe."
No wonder you became Alpha, the strange attraction between bald heads? Fu Qinghai complained in his heart.
"I continued my old job as a killer in the Hive World. During this time, I attracted the attention of the mortal agents of the Alpha Legion, who recruited me into the Legion. However, when I was undergoing the transformation surgery to become a Space Marine, the rejection reaction was very severe. Fortunately, there was Deceit. With the support of the symbiote, I was able to survive the 19 surgeries. Otherwise, I would have collapsed and died on the operating table."
No. 56 was still frightened when he talked about this incident, which means that he was awake when he was undergoing the transformation, probably because the symbiote helped him dilute the anesthetic.
Fu Qinghai's conjecture.
A cobalt blue, gelatinous, sharp-toothed little head poked out from No. 56's cervical horn, took a sip of the liquid in the wine glass, and then spat it out with a "Pooh".
"What are your plans for the future with Sartre Faran? Do you want to join my brotherhood?"
Fu Qinghai spoke straight to the point.
"Um..."
Number 56 is still hesitating.
Fu Qinghai continued to press:
"You fought with Qiao Shida in the training cage, right? With the same weapons, you and Sartre Fran couldn't beat him at all, right?"
No. 56 was helpless and frank:
"In fact, I can't even beat Camille."
Fu Qinghai threw out his chips:
"Aren't you curious why?"
Number 56 had already guessed:
"You added something to their transformation?"
Fu Qinghai nodded in acknowledgement:
"In fact, I directly added two operations to create a new generation of space warriors, which are safe, stable and controllable."
"sharp..."
Number 56 licked the wine from his lips and praised.
"You know what the Warhammer 40K universe is like. Since you've already dropped the anchor of the world, I won't say more. Think about it yourself, buddy."
Fu Qinghai leaned back in his chair with his arms under his head and said.
"Can."
Number 56 nodded:
"I join the Brotherhood of God."
"I will go and convince Sartrefan."
…
Fu Qinghai in the laboratory of the research vessel.
"Master, you're looking for me?"
Fu Qinghai walked up to Master Quinto.
"Both STC systems have been figured out."
Master Quinto said.
As Fu Qinghai was pressing in the space orbit, Master Quinto pulled the STCs onto the ship without waiting to find out their functions and uses. Only now did he figure out what the products produced by these two sets of STCs were.
"What is that?"
Fu Qinghai thought, as long as it wasn't a toaster or a beverage vending machine, even an automatic feather pen would be fine. Although it had no military value, it had commercial value.
"Giant mining excavators, and needle blaster rifles."
Master Quinto added:
"It's not a broken STC fragment, it's a complete, functioning STC system."
Wow...Fu Qinghai raised his eyebrows slightly.
It is very difficult to obtain a complete STC. Most of the STCs unearthed in technological archaeological excavations are scattered and broken fragments. For example, the STC privately kept by the Fanshaul family in the Necromunda hive is the STC of the mirror shield, the only mass-produced individual energy shield in the human empire. However, since that STC is incomplete, all products are accompanied by huge amounts of radiation, causing the Fanshaul family to die prematurely and suffer from cancer. Therefore, Fu Qinghai did not think of taking that STC.
Giant mining excavator, Fu Qinghai knows.
There are many things like this in the world's mining industry that are rich in reserves. They are giant tracked engineering vehicles that are as big as small cities. With this kind of vehicle, there is no need for open-pit mining or setting up mineshafts. It also has the ability to sort, screen and perform preliminary refining. It can directly drill into the earth's crust and chase the veins for several years without coming out. The Human Empire has some, but they are all relic technologies that are getting worse and worse. Now that Master Quinto has brought its STC back to light, it can be produced and reproduced.
The product is huge, and the STC is also very huge. Master Quinto split it into several production modules before transporting it into space orbit. It is now being carried on the back of the Goliath-class factory ship.
"Needle blaster rifle, what is that?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"This is the name I made up. According to the operating nameplate on the STC, the direct translation should be 'Feather Gun'."
Master Quinto directly took out a strangely shaped gun sample, handed it to Fu Qinghai, and then pointed to a plastic steel target in the distance.
Following Master Quinto's instructions, Fu Qinghai put a pile of metal scraps into the hopper at the back of the gun. Through the perspective eyepiece, he clearly saw that the metal scraps were melted by the high temperature. Then Fu Qinghai pulled the trigger, and the liquid metal continued to stretch and become thinner along the barrel, and was finally fired under the action of the electromagnetic acceleration coil.
"Disgraceful!"
The metal jet poked a small hole in the plastic steel plate.
The handful of metal scraps that Fu Qinghai grabbed just now formed five metal jet spikes. The electromagnetic acceleration coil had high precision and hit the same place continuously at close range, eventually causing the plastic steel plate to be penetrated.
The experienced and experienced Astartes Captain immediately began to assess the military potential of this relic technology.
It is quite powerful, stronger than a laser gun, but its range is not as far as a laser gun. The electromagnetic acceleration trajectory is stable, but it is still not as completely straight as a laser.
The ammunition is special, and metal fragments and waste materials found everywhere on the battlefield can be used as ammunition. The very wasteland punk design reminds Fu Qinghai of the universal launcher in the "Fallout" series, which can be used to shoot all the garbage picked up including bottle caps, nails, apples, nuts, etc. at the enemy.
The cost is slightly high, and the heating battery that can easily melt most metal waste has a high energy consumption. For this reason, the feather gun can only be regarded as an advanced weapon of the laser gun, not a replacement weapon.
The key point is that the feather gun completely makes up for the embarrassment of the human empire's lack of miniaturized electromagnetic acceleration coil weapons.
"good."
Fu Qinghai commented.
He put down his gun and said to Master Quinto,
"Master, I want to talk to you."
Seeing Fu Qinghai being so serious, Master Kunto stopped what he was doing and said,
"Come over here."
…
In a special cabin isolated from all monitoring and eavesdropping equipment, Fu Qinghai was having a secret conversation with his teacher.
Fu Qinghai: "Master, so these two STCs are ready to be transported back to Mars, right?"
Quinto: "Yes, this is the request I received from Great Sage Kane."
The Kane here is not the later Kane Political Commissar Caiaphas Kane, but the new Mars Forge Commander and head of the Mechanicus, Kane. He used the cannons of the Titan Legion to gain a permanent seat on the High Lords Council for the Mechanicus.
Archmagus Cain was a staunch supporter of the Emperor. During the retreat from Mars to the defense of Terra, he transformed his lower body into a large tank and fought the traitors to the death during the March Siege.
Fu Qinghai said:
"Master, I don't think you should go back to Mars."
Then, Fu Qinghai elaborated on his reasons:
"The research we are currently conducting, whether it is the transformation of space marines or the study of alien technology, is controversial and may be classified as heresy."
"I think we shouldn't take root in a crowded place like Mars. As the center and pearl of the Forge World, it is too conspicuous. Moreover, it is too close to Terra, the Inquisition, and the Assassin's Court."
"I'll tell you the truth, Master. These alien technologies are just the beginning. I will continue to provide you with various magical technologies."
"You probably don't want to do research every day and be wary of spies and agents, and have to spend time, energy, and even use force to deal with interference from those who don't agree with your ideas, right?"
Master Quinto raised his head:
"So what do you mean?"
Fu Qinghai said,
"We should find a less conspicuous forge world like the Micro-Ohm Messiah and the Moon of Gravia, and then conduct our research as we please."
"Apply for an assignment to Mars, Master, to command a Forge World on your own. These two unique STCs are our bargaining chips for development."
"But..." Master Quinto pondered:
"But these two STCs are to be sent back to Mars."
Master Quinto agreed with the idea of setting up his own business, and Fu Qinghai's lobbying was half successful.
Fu Qinghai patiently said:
"That's easy. A mere light cruiser is escorting two precious STCs. Is this enough manpower? If it's not enough, then if we encounter some Eldar pirates, greenskin bandits or traitor remnants, do we have to find a nearby forge world to put the STCs down and hide them there to ensure safety?"
Sage-level technical priests are all big shots within the Mechanicus. These two sets of STCs were discovered by Master Quinto and originally belonged to Master Quinto, but which Forge World to place them on was a problem.
Mars will certainly not allow it to be placed on powerful forging worlds such as Ryza, Lucius, and Acheron VIII. This will not be beneficial to maintaining Mars' leading position.
Fu Qinghai took out a data tablet with a partial star map of the Misty Star Region on it. Fu Qinghai pointed to a forge world and said,
"This is the forge world closest to the Schwerin Hive. I think it is very suitable."
Master Quinto took a closer look and saw the name of the Forge World:
Phaeton.
"Again, Master."
Fu Qinghai whispered in his ear.
"Mars is too close to Terra, and too far from the God of All Machines."
…
Fu Qinghai is performing the last two promotion and transformation operations on No. 56 and Sutter Fran.
At the same time, on Master Vanak's side, the new Extremis virus has been produced, and Fu Qinghai wants to inject the Extremis virus into all the Brotherhood's Space Marines.
But the control terminal is here with Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai had the confidence to say to Master Quinto that he would personally check loyalty.
Using nanorobots to control his subordinates makes him feel like an evil villain in a movie.
Fu Qinghai called all the spellcasters to the laboratory of the research vessel, and then under their support, he carried out the final transformation operation.
Facts have proved that Fu Qinghai's caution was right.
Number 56 and Sartre Fran awakened their psychic talents at the same time!
Mosaic blurs began to flicker on the instruments, the hard steel began to twist and stretch like cotton candy, inexplicable hazy voices whispered in my mind, and the shadows in the laboratory began to flow and spread as if they came alive.
When visions of the Warp began to emerge in the laboratory, all the spellcasters present instantly tensed up.
Fu Qinghai said that many of the subspace invasions into reality described in the original novel actually happened because a very powerful psychic could not control his own power, and his head ended up exploding, creating a gap in the subspace, into which subspace creatures swarmed.
Why the human empire treats psychics so strictly and cautiously is all due to the lessons learned through blood and tears.
Fortunately, the subspace phenomenon came and went quickly, and the vision that distorted reality soon disappeared without a trace.
Fu Qinghai reached out and opened the hatch of the culture tank.
"laugh--"
The sound of air pressure leaking was heard.
In the white mist, No. 56 had a dazed look on his face.
Fu Qinghai asked hurriedly:
"Well, Fifty-Six, what did you see?"
The Alpha Warrior blinked and came back to his senses:
"I... I didn't see those red, purple, blue, green, and gold light balls you mentioned before, Qingshan. I just... I just suddenly heard the voices of all of you for a moment."
I heard everyone's voice...
Fu Qinghai seemed to understand something.
As she spoke, No. 56 looked at Chen Xinlu with a gossipy look on her face, which made the lady with glasses feel confused and uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"No, nothing."
Number Fifty-Six blinked and said nothing.
Are you here to be a riddle teller?
Fu Qinghai said:
"Mind reading belongs to the category of psychic power."
Number 56 nodded:
"Yes, do you have any training materials from the Legion's think tank? I remember that the White Scars have quite a lot of think tanks, right?"
Fu Qinghai was about to speak when No. 56 raised his hand to interrupt him:
"Okay, I heard you, you didn't."
Fu Qinghai rolled his eyes in anger:
"You'd better be more restrained in front of your leader."
After saying that, Fu Qinghai turned around and asked in confusion:
"Oh, by the way, where's Sartrefan?"
As soon as Fu Qinghai said this, everyone suddenly realized that the culture tank next to them had been opened and was empty.
"I'm here."
The Raven Guard warrior walked out from the shadow of the instruments with his upper body naked. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, with long black hair draped on the sides of his face and his pupils as dark and deep as ink.
Fu Qinghai frowned slightly:
"No...didn't anyone see a 2.6-meter-tall giant passing by just now?"
Everyone present looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Qingshan, I have also awakened the psychic power of invisibility."
Sartrefan said.
Are you sure it's psychological invisibility and not physical invisibility?
Fu Qinghai didn't say anything. He lowered his head and picked up the data tablet. He tapped the screen with his fingers and called up the surveillance video in the laboratory. The video from a few seconds ago showed:
Just as Fu Qinghai was talking to No. 56, Sartrefan silently pushed open the hatch of the incubator, stepped out, and then found a shadowy place and squatted down comfortably.
Yet no one noticed him.
Fu Qinghai: "…"
It's really psychological invisibility.
Wow, the Brotherhood of God Machines suddenly has two more think tanks.
Fu Qinghai nodded with satisfaction.
Although he is not a magic master like Yesugei and Ahriman who have various strange methods, but having psychic power is always an extra means to fight the enemy.
…
Although no one knew what this guy Laust was going to do in Prospero, since his sudden intention to cause trouble was thwarted, Prospero was removed from the fleet's route.
The small fleet of three ships made their way to the Moon of Gravia, the satellite of the Graf World.
At the spaceport, Fu Qinghai held Master Vanak's mechanical tentacles affectionately and said goodbye reluctantly:
"Master, our cooperation is not over. To be precise, our cooperation has just begun."
Master Vanak nodded heavily,
"Yes, Qingshan, your achievements in nanotechnology are unmatched, and your foresight for the future development of technology is unmatched. It is a blessing from the God of All Things that the Micro-Ohm Messiah Sect can meet you."
Fu Qinghai and the Moon Forge World of Gravia agreed on a verbal cooperation framework, and then Master Vanak led his students off the ship. The small fleet set off again and headed straight for the Schwerin Hive City.

Thanks, I don't know what name to change to, listen with compassion, book friend 20220306221418195, Dreamer369, Eighteen Years of Snow Falling, Ji Xiuyi, The One Who Walks Forward Silently, xdld2020, and rewards from several book friends.
1. The feudal world of Malzan is the place name mentioned specifically in LEX. It only says that there is STC buried underground, but it does not say what STC it is.
2. The Phaeton Foundry World is a glimpse of the Foundry World in the original novel. There is no information about it, it is just a background board. The word "Pheaton" is the same as the Volkswagen Phaeton. I think it is very interesting, so I use this Chinese translation, which means "light four-wheeled carriage".
3. Many people got into Warhammer 40K because of my books, so from now on I will indicate which content is my original work and which are settings in the original books.
4. By the way, let me also talk about the distinction between original and researched works in this book. All the characters in the main character group are original characters, and no characters from the original book will appear in the main character group. The geographical names are half original and half researched. All the black technologies, magic moves, force skills, special items, etc. in this book are all researched thoroughly, and there will be no things I made up. This is the infinite flow gameplay. It is also very simple to make up skills and technologies, but it is not the infinite flow.
5. A small easter egg: The full name of Laust, Cordel Gray, is a virtual character that appeared in World of Warcraft. He is an alchemist who studies necromancy. No WOW player has discovered this small easter egg yet.
