After destroying the void shield generator of an orbital station, the tactical team immediately set about deploying the transmission beacon.
The void shield can block teleportation. After the void shield fails, teleportation can be forced even without a teleport beacon, but the landing point is often random and can easily get stuck in the wall, so most chapter leaders choose a safer method.
An attack on a rebellious forge world also implicitly involves a competition for honor among various chapters, a competition that has continued since the Legion era - who can be the first to occupy the core hub of the Zhelas Space Station, who can be the first to kill the forge director of the Zhelas Space Station, these implicit competitions concerning the honor of each chapter have been going on since the beginning of the boarding.
However, Fu Qinghai is a pragmatic person.
The Iron Pagoda Regiment is also a pragmatic regiment.
This kind of honor and competition of "who gets there first" is meaningless to him, although the successful infiltration of the tactical team represents the first Astartes Chapter to land on the Zhelas Space Station, and through the transmission beacon, his Space Marines can land and deploy faster, and it is very likely that they will be the first Astartes Chapter to occupy the entire Zhelas Space Station.
But Fu Qinghai doesn't care about these.
He only cares about what benefits he can get.
Concrete and tangible benefits.
…
Geras Space Station.
A large, cleared hall.
The Iron Pagoda Terminator activates the teleport beacon.
White lights flashed one after another, and the spicy and cold breath of ether filled every corner of the hall. The three companies led by Qingshan Khan were the first troops to arrive here. They had a brief exchange with the first company commander, and after understanding the situation here, they quickly began to deploy for battle.
"Chief Pharmacist, lead the Fourth Company and follow the route the tactical team took to rescue the Iron Pagoda Terminator who collapsed on the road. I think he is just faking his death."
"Yes, Khan."
Camille agreed.
White lights kept flashing in the hall.
More companies were teleporting in one after another.
Fu Qinghai arranged:
"All companies should not rush into anything and should proceed step by step. Remember that this is a foundry world. After each foundry is conquered, the technical sergeant must check all the surrounding data interfaces to find out if there are any undiscovered standard manufacturing templates, even if they are just fragments of them."
Fu Qinghai emphasized to his warriors that
the Zhelas Space Station is a forging world.
An ancient forge world that has existed since the Age of Strife, an old forge world that has experienced the Great Crusade and the Great Rebellion. Although according to Grand Inquisitor Sid Nora, because they once refused to submit to the human empire and took the initiative to provoke war, the Zhelas Space Station was deprived of many industrial production capacity and core technologies by Mars, but they still dared to start a new round of rebellion and still had the confidence to launch a rebellion, which means that many taboo technologies have been quietly preserved.
The Forge World is different from the Hive World, the Feudal World, and the Death World. There are so many good things here.
Fu Qinghai brought so many imperial transport ships not just to deploy the "Pojun Golden Armor".
Although the Iron Pagoda Regiment does not have a think tank, it is rich in technical sergeants, especially those warriors who use the Iron Warriors gene-seed. They have good technical talents. Each company can be equipped with three to four technical sergeants, and the mopping-up efficiency is very high.
"Now, follow me!"
…
After the Iron Pagoda Terminator opened a gap in this orbital station, the Zhelas Space Station did not sit idly by. Several surrounding orbital stations disconnected their connection channels in an attempt to prevent the Space Marines from using this as a breakthrough point to spread to the surrounding areas.
Isolate the spread of internal war.
However, the Space Marines' power armors are capable of moving in space. The power backpack can maintain the internal circulation of oxygen for a period of time, and the waste heat and exhaust gas from the two nozzles can be used as forward momentum. Disconnecting the channel connection cannot stop the Space Marines from attacking in all directions.
The Zheras Space Station was sad to find that it had never fought a street fight with others on its own territory. The various regiments rushed along the internal passages, wreaking havoc along the way. The macro cannon turrets, light spear arrays and void shield generators on the surface of the Zheras Space Station were misfired one after another, which allowed more Space Marines to board and form a vicious cycle.
It starts with the successful infiltration of the Iron Pagoda Terminator.
At the Zheras Space Station, defeat is inevitable.
Many of the Dark Mechanicus's technical means were developed and honed during the Martian Civil War, and are often very effective against loyalist Mechanicus and Forge Worlds, but are somewhat ineffective against Space Marines.
For example, Chaos Scrap Code, or simply Scrap Code, is one of the most basic and common offensive methods of the Mechanicus. It is somewhat similar to the Denial of Service (DOS) attack and the most basic logical dead loop virus in the real world: self-replicating mechanical code that continuously circulates and spreads from the broadcaster. If the receiving party fails to identify the signal as Scrap Code, the Scrap Code will rapidly replicate itself like a virus and overwhelm it, forcing the other party to shut down or be damaged.
During the Horus Heresy, the Traitors used Chaos Waste Code for the first time to attack the Loyalist Astartes Legion, and it worked well because at that time Chaos Waste Code was targeting large equipment and facilities such as vehicles, warships, and communication centers. If Chaos Waste Code was used against a single Space Marine - like Joestar did.
At most, I will let you hijack my communication channel. I will just shut it down. I speak with my mouth and don't communicate through the communication channel. What else can you do to me?
Space Marines are not technical priests.
All of the Mechanicus's soldiers, vehicles, Titans, armed servitors... rely on data links to communicate. In fact, many of them don't even have mouths, so Chaos code attacks are still quite threatening to them.
In addition to Chaos Code, there is also a heretical technology called "Raging Thorns", which can quickly cause servitors or servoskulls to go crazy and attack everything around them without the control of the Tech-Priests. Many Tech-Priests are suddenly attacked by Raging Thorns and will be killed by the armed servitors and servoskulls around them. However, Space Marines do not rely on armed servitors to assist in combat, and servoskulls are only used as reconnaissance auxiliary equipment. They are usually not equipped with weapons. At most, they lose a few cameras and drones.
In addition, there is the "Staff of Slavery" invented by Lucas Chrome, the master of the forge and the famous traitor of Mars. Once this heretical technology is touched, it can quickly complete a neurosurgical implant operation, turning the victim into a soulless body that only obeys orders, which is basically equivalent to a mechanical servant, and then drive them into the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder.
All of the above methods are common ways of fighting used by the Dark Mechanicus against the Loyal Mechanicus. These methods are taboo and heretical. Loyalist technical priests are very afraid of them, but Space Marines are usually not very afraid of them.
…
In a dark passage.
Mechanical parts and fragments of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere.
It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
Fu Qinghai picked up a piece of broken machinery the size of a refrigerator, held it up with one hand and observed it in front of his eyes.
Vulture-type intelligent robot.
Fu Qinghai recognized its model and
said, "This is a good thing..."
The Chapter Master muttered to himself.
The Drones of the Tau Empire are an essential element in the Tau Army. This type of reconnaissance and strike-in-one artificial intelligence all-weather anti-gravity drone has always been a good helper for the Fire Warriors. Combined with the nuclear hunting teams composed of different types of Drones, it is flexible and comprehensive, with high combat effectiveness, which once caused the Empire to feel difficult and troublesome.
Doesn't the human empire have similar weapons?
In fact, it existed at the earliest.
The Vulture-type intelligent robot is a similar product.
Unfortunately, during the Horus Heresy, the Forge World of Antabacus, which mastered the manufacturing technology of the Vulture-type intelligent mechas, was torn apart and melted by the warring parties in the Great Mandala Invasion Campaign, turning it into an extinguished death forge.
And this is just a small example of the many cases of lost technology between the Imperium of Man and the Adeptus Mechanicus.
In fact, Fu Qinghai has always speculated that the STC of the Vulture-type intelligent robot should not have been destroyed in the war, but was taken to the Eye of Terror by the Dark Mechanicus. The classic demon engine in the Nurgle camp - the Plague Drone, looks almost exactly the same as the Vulture-type intelligent robot. Excluding the demonic flesh, not only are they similar in appearance, but also in function.
The similarity is telling enough.
Fu Qinghai looked at the wreckage in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Now it depends on what kind of situation the Zheras Space Station belongs to: did it just buy the Vulture-type intelligent robot soldiers from other forge worlds to equip itself, or has it completely mastered the manufacturing technology of this type of intelligent robot soldiers?
Sid Nora said that the Zheras Space Station is a forge world famous for its intelligent robot army, and it has mastered many forbidden technologies banned by the Mechanicus.
Maybe there will be a surprise?
Fu Qinghai put down the pile of shabby debris.
Although he couldn't wait to completely uncover the entire Forge World and find out what was going on, Fu Qinghai understood that he couldn't put the cart before the horse. First he had to completely defeat this group of dark technological heretics, or at least paralyze the command center of the Zheras Space Station before he could seek to divide up this Forge World. He couldn't ignore the overall situation for the sake of immediate petty gains.
At this moment, a Space Marine came to report:
"Khan, Captain Karamanda searched the deep passages of the Forge World and found an unusual place."
"Where?"
Fu Qinghai said casually.
"It looks like an interrogation room."
"…"
Fu Qinghai was speechless.
This guy Kalamanda could find an interrogation room even after clearing a forging world. How could he have a connection with such a filthy place? Did he find it just by smelling it?
But Fu Qinghai was also very curious.
The Dark Mechanicus also has torture?
How is their torture different from ordinary torture?
"Take me over there and have a look."
"This way, Khan."
...
I wanted to save up 4,000 yuan before posting, but there are too many things to write about.
