Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 241 The Shadow of the Moon, and the Impossible

There isn't much to write about Palmer's war as usual.

When the sprinkling and pouring of iron and fire become an established process, when killings and casualties become fleeting rows of data on the statistical list;

Calvin didn't want to look at these narrow characters anymore, because they couldn't describe what happened to the sacrificed souls in the actual battlefield.

The orc fleet during the naval battle was still the same, except for the frontal charge or the frontal charge.

Occasionally, when the psychic boys' signal is full, Calvin can also look forward to the gang-jumping tactics from the orcs.

But that's all there is to it, Dajiba obviously didn't think too much about the design of the battleship;
According to past experience, until their number and volume have not reached a certain threshold, lack of tactics will be the normal state of the Orc Navy, and there will be no unexpected changes;

Yes, the orcs have a threshold.

Though times have passed, thousands of years have passed since that disgraceful orc war that saw the heroes of Terra as dirt;
However, the empire is still vigilant about the civilization and wisdom of the orcs at that time when the number and size reached a certain level.

And as the orc who revived under the Emperor from the Ullanor War, the scar that brought lasting shame to the Empire;
The concept of the battle moon was also deeply engraved in the minds of all the members of the Alien Tribunal established in later generations.

The focus of the post-battle cleanup and intelligence statistics of the first two galaxies is here:

Accompanied by members of the Mechanicus, the Tribunal reviewed the number of existing natural celestial bodies in the galaxy over and over again with an extremely serious attitude;
And all the gravitational field environments that are confirmed to be suitable for manufacturing artificial celestial bodies are naturally the top priority of the inspection work.

The statistical results of Hicks and Palmer were sent to the command headquarters that had arrived with the large fleet on the eve of the fleet's arrival in the Bowen galaxy;

A piece of green statistical logo also made the high-ranking generals who took time out of their busy work to attend the meeting feel more at ease.

But after the Bowen galaxy was successfully captured, Calvin and others finally waited for the first boot that fell.

In the galaxy after the war, the Alien Tribunal and the Mechanicus counted the number of celestial bodies officially registered by the empire in accordance with routine procedures;

What is different from the past is that this simple task was delayed for several hours without being able to be completed.

The court clerk in charge of this work activated the emergency response mechanism and reported it to the senior members of the Alien Tribunal who accompanied Calvin:

The position of Bowen 6, a satellite located on the ring belt of the lost secondary foundry world Bowen 9, was finally confirmed to have disappeared after several searches and checks.

The unexplained disappearance of this tiny celestial body with a diameter of nearly [-] kilometers triggered the vigilance mechanism of the Alien Tribunal;

After just a few hours, all the chief officers of the command were notified urgently.

Considering that the satellite has only disappeared at present, and its final destination has not been confirmed;
A small-scale but extremely high-secret meeting was led by the Revenant Redeemer and started as a video conference.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Because the empire's current warship design blueprint does not have star-level weapons and corresponding warship standards.

In the list of weapons used in the Judgment's Excommunication Order, the two-stage cyclone torpedo, which has the most complete damage to the planet, may be the live ammunition weapon closest to this goal.

But this torpedo is not born for the battlefield, it is used on the premise that the unit that releases the weapon must be in orbit;

Being in orbit itself means that the target does not have air defense capabilities.

In a word, this thing is a large firework for killing things;
For the celestial body-level combat units that are likely to appear on the orc side, its role is not only unique, but also better than nothing.

The atmosphere in the venue became very depressing for a while, and those who were qualified to attend the meeting were all professional soldiers who had experienced battles and senior war technical experts;
None of them could open their mouths to promise arrogantly to all the colleagues present, saying that as long as the orcs don't resist, the two-stage cyclone torpedo is barely enough for this absurd argument.

"The Planet Killer?"

Calvin was the first to think of what he had gained in Layak before, and asked Reza's representative, the deputy supervisor of the foundry, Father Constantine.

"Can't do it."

Constantine flatly denied it, and explained to everyone's puzzled eyes:
"That weapon system is just a theoretical oath product, and after checking the ships on the orbital shipyard, we found that it is just the most basic test ship..."

"Oh..." Calvin fell into silence, and the senior naval officers present were also silent.

They are clear about the concept of the experimental ship, which means that it is only cast to verify the feasibility of a certain theory;
All the components on board are just to meet the minimum standard for the operation of a certain system;
Not to mention that this fragile standard can withstand several shots at the actual combat level;

To put it pessimistically, even if this kind of experimental ship can be fired, the other structures on him will be blank.

Without the corresponding energy system, Geiger stand, weapon array and protective armor root, it has no practical significance;

Even if there is no problem with the main gun itself, the addition of every part of the other important components to the outfitting is enough to make the design center of gravity of the entire hull unbalanced, and the counterweight structure of the entire hull needs to be readjusted.

In a word, there is no possibility of Planet Killer joining the service sequence in a short time.

"Then what if we just want to use it as a weapon?"

Calvin asked again, this is already a ten thousand step back idea.

This being the case, large celestial units of the orcs could appear at any time.

They don't have time to slowly study for Mechanicus, and come up with a complete battleship system;

That being the case, is it feasible to only have a weapon that can fire?
"I'm afraid it still won't work..." Constantine said:

"We have tried to calculate the basic parameters required for the operation of this weapon. The energy supply it needs has exceeded the energy supply standard of all types of plasma reactors known to the Empire;
Not only that, but the force-bearing structures of some of its key positions are simply not something that can be handled by the existing technology in the physical environment in the real universe. "

Facing Calvin's gaze, Constantine gave the final conclusion that the people present were least willing to accept:
"Even if the technology improves in the future, it won't work. Theoretically speaking, its joints can only be melted and cast in the subspace environment, and can only appear in the real universe after reaching a balance of forces!"

　One more, ask for tickets at the end of the month.
