Chapter 44 Warehouse, stock up, stock up
The priest of the Mechanicus used his hands to operate the mechanical screen. After only a minute, he came up with several methods, but the most reliable one was the last one.
"Captain Yifeng, I can change the scanning frequency band of a battleship's bird servant to a similar signal transmission mode, but it will take me about 35 minutes."
"No problem, just do it and leave the rest to us."
Several battleships fought and retreated under the command of Yifeng. The battleship's retreat speed is not as fast as the space manta ray, but a few space torpedoes from time to time always mess up their information system.
After just two repetitions of the same trick, the enemy seemed to have discovered the flaws in Yifeng's tactics, and quickly divided into small groups to surround the fleet from all directions.
Yifeng commanded the fleet to be divided into four to carry out cross-annihilation. To put it simply, my attack will destroy the enemy who wants to attack you, and your attack will destroy the enemy who wants to attack me.
As the battleships turned and moved, Yifeng even commanded four fleets to maneuver simultaneously, leading the enemies pursuing the three fleets to close to a straight line, and then a volley of light spears caused a lot of damage to them.
A large number of Fury-class fighters were informed by Yifeng to return to the ship's hangar after a tough battle.
At present, the enemy has not shown any method of long-range attack, so try to lead the battlefield into an open space. Without any obstructions, the enemy will suffer a lot of damage when it rushes towards us.
The four fleets slowly approached. At this time, the enemy was already close to our warships. The ion weapons no longer dared to be used, and it was easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.
"William, organize everyone to command a frigate and follow my command."
Eleven frigates lined up in a diamond formation, firing at enemies coming from all directions, and in the middle of the diamond were the light spears of four large ships.
Even if a small number of enemies approached the frigate, their numbers could not cause effective damage, and they were quickly annihilated by close-in defense artillery.
These strange creatures flying in space didn't know where the command level was. Anyway, they changed their formations after several attacks, forming twenty medium-sized teams to disperse and pursue our warships.
William saw that the time was approaching and gave the final order to the frigate.
11 frigates began to gather and move in circles along the galaxy. A small group of enemies from the Space Manta Force followed quickly. They were reluctant to pursue these nimble frigates because four large food ships were right in front of them.
These frigates will sail around the system and then come back here.
The enemy is approaching the battleships of Yifeng and the Mechanicus, but now Yifeng has led the fleet to pull them away for a long time, and has been pulling the battlefield into the vast space of the universe.
The important point is that the vast space of the universe is not within the galaxy.
Four battleships jumped into subspace.
A large circle of space manta rays instantly lost their target and turned angrily to chase the frigate formation.
——————————————————————————————————
Floz is the eldest captain among the 11 frigates, but now he is also confused.
Where are people? Where is my fleet? Let me circle the galaxy and you run away? Aren't you here to save me?
Now Floz is in an unusual tangle. He won't sell my ship like before.
They are outside the galaxy. They are very close to the Mandeville Point. Should they evacuate directly?
As a veteran captain, he decided to wait a little longer. The enemy's large force did not arrive. Following closely behind him was a small group of space manta rays. The close-in defense cannons kept firing. The light spear easily penetrated the opponent's mechanized body.
Don't you just need to hold on for another ten minutes?
A quick calculation shows that the overload time of this type of power furnace reactor is only about 8 minutes to ensure absolute safety.
But this also means that if the large force does not come back to rescue them as expected, they will lose the ability to jump into the subspace.
What should I do, should I trust the Astartes and the Mechanicus?
Although he did not trust the personnel of the Mechanicus at all, Floz remembered the words that the "political commissar" of Zijin often said.
There was only one Astartes named Cijin on the ship. He was very lonely and easy-going.
He often chatted with the crew and asked everyone to sit and talk with him.
Although no one could refuse his orders, he still refused to become captain and instead asked to be commissar of the fleet.
He likes to go to the most difficult environment of the battleship, such as the weapons array maintenance area on the bottom deck. Sometimes he will work with everyone, and then preach the theory that everyone believes in equality.
He often told everyone about the Emperor's great ambition to unify mankind across the galaxy, and his Chapter Master's ambition to liberate the entire galaxy.
He said that they believe that everyone is equal, that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, that everyone should be assigned work according to their areas of expertise, and that work ability should be determined through assessments and practical work tests.
He said that they wanted to make the whole galaxy into such a beautiful world, and when the crew members got old and retired, they would be invited to live there, and they could also find a job as a special instructor at the naval school.
He never looked down on anyone, and he would listen carefully to even a small complaint from the humblest laborer and make improvements.
No matter whether they are young or old personnel on the fleet, they have never seen or heard of such Astartes. Even the Salamanders Chapter, which is closest to mortals, has never reached the dark and dirty lower deck of the battleship. .
Why not trust him? Why not trust the Chapter that trained him?
Floz issued an order to everyone, "All warships give unified orders. After two minutes, all will enter the reactor overload state. All energy, including light spears, will be transferred to the power pack. They will sail overload for eight minutes and support until the scheduled time."
"Captain Froz, are you sure? That way we won't have enough power to enter the subspace."
"Since Political Commissar Nian Cijin doesn't want any of us to die in battle, we can't let him down. It's our mission to survive ten minutes intact, so don't let him down."
"But the way out..."
"I believe Political Commissar Ni Cijin will come back."
"Ship 00301 understands."
"Ship 00303 understands."
......
At this time in the subspace, Nian Cijin once again heard the long-awaited Yifeng-like whispers. These whispers had been with him for ten years. It's strange that I'm not used to it. I really wanted to hear those whispers again, but now that I heard them again, my head started to hurt again.
Just when the space manta rays were about to reach the distance where they could attack the void shields of these battleships, these frigates suddenly turned off their void shields and close-in defense guns, and the light spears no longer charged.
The 11 battleships sailed at a speed slightly faster than a space manta ray, abandoning all defense and offense.
Even the crew members inside the ship felt very uncomfortable under this powerful acceleration, but they did not reach the point of death.
The battleship was sailing around the galaxy. Even though the battleship rolled ninety degrees on the spot, allowing the ceiling to face the stars, everyone felt tremendous pressure. (On how space dwarves are made)
Time passed by, and the scheduled time was getting closer and closer.
The battleship's power pack also began to have problems. The overheated reactor emitted a terrifying wave, making people afraid to approach it.
"Captain, the reactor is about to collapse."
"How long until the scheduled time?"
"Twenty-two seconds left."
"Turn off the power pack and the engine power output drops to 30% of its original value."
11 battleships used inertia to suddenly slide out of the galaxy. It's like being thrown out by the middle star after being continuously accelerated.
Many space manta rays didn't have time to react and got sidetracked.
The subspace rift that emitted a strange light finally opened again, and four battleships jumped out.
The frigates have lost their ability to maneuver at high speeds, but the powerful cruisers and fire support vessels of the Adeptus Mechanicus have returned.
The space manta rays that formed a large "bundle" did not react for a while.
No need to think too much, Yifeng immediately ordered. "The Bird Servant Ceremony is activated."
The frequency-modified birdserver emits a specific scanning radio wave. A large number of space manta rays have lost their "sanity".
They fly aimlessly, fall into convulsions immediately, or crash into other space manta rays out of control.
The crew of the frigate cheered loudly, venting their emotions loudly after a ten-minute journey as close to death as possible.
Even in the communication channel with other battleships, words such as "Captain Yifeng's Kamui." and "Long live the Red Torrent" can be heard in the background.
At this time, the leader of the Yifeng battle ordered the bird servant to scan continuously, and then catch fish for me!
These greedy fish actually ate my entire 7 frigates. Do you know how much that costs? Do you know how many meetings I have to hold with those nobles and how many tons of food I have to eat to get it!
Even if these space manta rays sell me scrap metal, I still have to get it back.
I, Yifeng, will not engage in loss-making transactions.
The biological sages of the Mechanicus are also very interested in these strange creatures and plan to study them in their "free time".
Everyone made a large number of arrests at Yifeng's strong request.
But the Mechanicus' ships always have capacity. After the storage tanks for living creatures are full, the warehouses for dead objects are also filled with the corpses of these things.
The cabins of Yifeng's frigates and cruisers are also full, and there are a lot of these things.
No, leave now. The more I think about it, the more angry I get.
Didn’t your Adeptus Mechanicus establish a foundry base here? Build a temporary warehouse for me and stuff it full.
In the end, with everyone's tireless efforts, it took only half a month to complete the construction of the enlarged version of the foundry base warehouse.
The corpses of these things were piled up in the warehouse. The Mechanicus even wanted to charge the rent of the warehouse, but Yifeng choked back when he said it would be deducted from the guards' wages.
The packed warship flew back to Atris to rest and recuperate. After unloading its cargo, it would return to the foundry base for continued escort missions.
Someone needs to study these large numbers of space manta rays.
Archbishop Froes of the rebel forge world said that we are busy building battleships and other equipment and materials for you. If you want to research it, you can also give us food.
The Mechanicum of the Stolov Forge World said that it was completely unavailable. While it was busy creating biological organs for you, it also needed to build battleships and supplies. It also had other important research to carry out (eldar spacecraft). How could it find the time to help you research this? ah.
Technical Sergeant Anos said he was busy, and the STC fragments had not yet been studied clearly.
The great pharmacist Situ Val said, "Look at what I do, I won't make any new soldiers."
Okay, let's just pile them there first.
A huge warehouse was built locally in Atris to store these things, and it was a freezer type just in case.
It's not that Yifeng doesn't give face, there are quite a lot of things that have bothered Atris recently.
Atris was "generously" given a frigate.
Anyway, if you come to them for something, they will definitely come. Is there any difference between leaving it with them and leaving it with us?
This will make it easier to clear your name. If these loyal Mechanicus ask where your ship comes from, Yifeng will have to think carefully before answering. The excuse he makes will most likely be pretending to be related to the Angel of Dawn Chapter. , but others asked Atris where did your frigates come from?
Gifted by the leader of the Crimson Torrent Chapter. The other party will most likely not continue to inquire. After all, if you ask him where Red Torrent got this ship, they will most likely not know.
Yifeng was thinking about whether Atris should hide some soldiers, but there was really no reason to hide them. Alas, the prefect loved him so much that he couldn't do it.
Forget it, go back and stay there quietly.
The cruiser took more than 30 Astartes who had nothing to do, and the space manta rays that the Atris warehouse couldn't accommodate for a while went to the recruitment planet to find the big pharmacist.
The planet that is currently recruiting troops is called Pucci. This planet is half ocean agriculture and half hive planet.
There are many breeding cages, or super-large breeding nets, floating on their oceans, which provide almost all aquatic food for the surrounding planets.
There are two hives on the other side of the land, scattered on both sides of the continent.
This is a planet with a parliamentary system. They decide planetary affairs through parliament. When the Astartes came here, they held a meeting for two days at a stretch and came to a conclusion that the nobles would be notified first and then follow-up matters would be discussed later.
The big pharmacist ignored their decision and shot three congressmen who said "wait and discuss again" in front of their faces, and the whole process became extremely fast.
It's obvious that this planet has inherited some of the bad habits of the Empire, but the Astartes don't care about these. Now they are racing against time. Every day they transform new recruits, the Chapter will have more warriors.
After losing three councilors, the management of the entire planet...is completely fine.
The entire planet is rotating at a super high speed that has not been seen in hundreds of years.
All parties are no longer engaging in political games. It doesn’t matter which family contributes more and which family contributes less. Just sign up as many people as you can. Even if people from Zhongchao who received the news came to inquire, no one came to inquire. Exceptionally, I signed them up.
According to the great pharmacist Situ Val, according to the theory that Yifeng preaches every day, more than half of the people in these councils can be transferred to the lower nest.
It's a good planet, all supplies are consumed by political internal friction, and few people are actually doing anything.
Cunning politicians are needed, but there is no need to put them all together to cause chaos and disgust everyone on the planet.
The aristocratic elite were quickly summoned, and of course they shot some players who lied about their age... and the families behind them.
What are you trying to waste my precious biological organs? Believe it or not, I've sentenced you to being a Chaos spy?
After a round of thunderous tactics, the entire planet began to work honestly. In order to achieve efficiency, various departments omitted a lot of complicated review and signature procedures. The leaders above issued a death order. If I was shot for neglect, I would be fired. Buried with all of you.
Did the great pharmacist feel that he had been busy reforming new recruits for thirty years, causing his temper to become grumpy?
Or rather, like an Astartes?
Yifeng's cruiser jumped out from Mandeville Point and drifted into the space port leisurely.
It's time for the mortal auxiliary army to replenish food. Brothers, let's eat some seafood.
——————————————————————————————————
Fei Lin, Yifeng's royal chef, went down to the planet Pucci. He stayed at the beach for a full hour without the sea breeze for a long time, enjoying the natural scenery that he could only see on vacation before.
Marine breeding bases are all in the deep sea, and the shallow sea is a beautiful holiday destination. Some families in Zhongchao improve their lives after the holidays. It is a good choice to stock up on food and have a picnic on the beach outside the nest city. After all, there is no charge.
"Come and take a look at the delicious charcoal-grilled scallops, the crispy fried crab legs, and the huge and satisfying grilled Aileqi deep-sea fish."
The owner of the barbecue stall below was shouting hard. He occupied an area close to convenient transportation and relied on his extraordinary barbecue skills to make a living and save a lot of money.
Feilin got interested and wanted to buy the best local ingredients. It would be a good strategy to go to local food stores to inquire about information.
"Boss, what's your signature dish?" Felin entered the barbecue stall. This barbecue stall mainly sells to people who come here for camping, so there are only a few seats in the store.
Felin found a seat at random and sat down.
"Charcoal-grilled scallops, deep-fried crab legs, and grilled Alechi deep-sea fish are all extremely delicious. Once you try them, I guarantee you won't forget them for three days and three nights."
"Okay, just give me the same ones you just said."
There are still few people now, and few people start having barbecue in the afternoon. It usually becomes popular after dinner.
Felin started chatting with his boss.
"How is business lately? Sales are good, right?"
The boss was bored baking alone, so he just wanted to chat for a while.
"Business was pretty good the first two days, but it's probably going to be bad next. It's said that the Astartes are recruiting troops here, and everyone has gone to watch the fun."
"Boss, why don't you sell it over there? This is a business opportunity."
"Haha, I think so too, but if I have a hukou, wouldn't I be asking for trouble if I go there?"
Also, strict hierarchy has always been a characteristic of the hive world.
The fastest fried crab legs have been made. Feilin looked at the golden and crispy fried crab legs. The coating is very delicate and has no damage at all. It is topped with a special bright red sauce. It smells like a country atmosphere, with some fine brown spice particles, which brings the aroma of the crab legs to a new level.
The whole crab leg is very thick, and you can open your mouth wide enough to taste all the sauce and pastry in one bite.
It is full of juice after one bite, and the crispy golden shell and smooth meat of the crab legs are vividly displayed in the mouth. The whole crab legs are not only not greasy, but there is a faint sweetness in the crab legs. It is topped with unknown vegetables mixed with fat. The sauce made with seafood stock is sprinkled with mysterious spices from deep in the mountains, and the whole dish actually gives people a refreshing taste.
After finishing the entire dish, I was left with the deep-fried aroma of the crispy dough shell in my mouth.
The oil used for deep-frying is also specially made!
"Boss, this is so delicious."
Before Felin could ask how to make this dish, the charcoal-grilled scallops were also served.
"Try this dish again. You can add chili powder according to your own taste."
Feilin looked at the delicacies served for two. He was amazed by the last dish, and he couldn't help but increase his expectations for this delicacy. The grilled, sizzling shellfish meat accounts for more than half of the shell. It is rich, plump, smooth and oily. At first glance, it looks like shellfish that have lived in the ocean for a long time. It is sprinkled with a little rose-colored sea salt and light yellow. plant seasonings.
Hold the outer edge of the shell with two fingers, hold the plate of delicacies with your whole palm, and take a sip. The tender shell meat slides into your mouth with a bit of sour flavor, blooming with a rich umami flavor in your mouth, as if The entire sea is contained in this shell. Felin felt like the happiest person in the world.
Felin took another charcoal-grilled stoker shell and carefully sprinkled it with a little spicy powder. Adding too much would affect the chef's taste. Felin felt that this shell was not suitable for adding too much spicy element.
With a sip, this piece of shellfish entered your mouth. The spices hidden in the chili powder showed its power without scruples. The fresh, smooth and juicy shellfish seemed to be the richest soup in the world, and this little bit The chili powder is the last bit of chives, which perfectly resolves the greasy feeling of this dish after eating. It makes people want to eat another after eating one.
A huge grilled Aileqi deep-sea fish was served. This huge piece of fish might be as big as Felin's face.
Feilin looked at the boss suspiciously, but the boss just smiled and made a gesture that said you should try it first.
A huge fish bone temporarily became the handle of the grilled fish.
Felin picked up a huge piece of fish meat and took one bite, eh? wrong.
Felin immediately took another bite.
This is? taste.
The barbecue stall owner laughed.
"Have you never tasted this kind of fish? Aileqi deep-sea fish is famous for its rich and evenly distributed fat. When it is cooked properly, it has a soft taste, just like your first love caressing your lips. Same skin.”
The boss sprinkled a few fine grains of white sugar on top, and the whole Aileqi deep-sea fish exuded a sweet aroma. Even Chef Felin, who thought he was proficient in meat dishes, had to admire this unconstrained style. As expected.
Felin never thought that he would be so resigned to being inferior in cooking in this life.
