Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 42 Subspace

The existence of the warp can be traced back to an extremely ancient age, and the endless ancient knowledge contained in it is enough to drive any scholar who studies it crazy.

However, its significance is extremely important.For most races, being able to develop a ship engine that can enter the subspace symbolizes that the race has the qualifications to set foot in the galaxy.

In the ancient era that was not recorded by much information, human beings relied on this technology as the cornerstone, and almost developed into a powerful empire that surpassed the entire galaxy. It was an unknown past called the Dark Age of Technology, and it was also The golden future that is now out of reach for mankind.

At any time, any historian will meet a desperate end to the work that has exhausted their life.

Yes, in the ancient era when prosperity and chaos coexisted, too much information has been damaged in the irreversible entropy increase, too many precious technologies have been lost, and the rationality of every human being who tries to find out the truth will eventually be swallowed by madness .

On their corpses that still retain their crazy faces, there are only some broken, ancient, and even incomprehensible information.There is only a brief record of a brutal war called the 'Iron Man Rebellion', and its results and impact: the development of mankind towards a new future was completely cut off by this indescribable chaos-the AI Since then, smart technology has been abandoned, and a large number of ancient technologies have been sealed up. Most of those who know the secrets have been reduced to ashes in the torrent of time, and most of those who explored the secrets have been tainted by madness.

As for the human empire, it can only stagger and continue to move forward.

However, the good times didn't last long.Five millennia since the human empire came to No.20 slowly and tiredly, the chaotic storm from the subspace has thrown the entire galaxy with the remains of the ancient empire, and the long era called the "Era of Dispute" has been completely unveiled. This not only caused the filthy energy from the subspace to gradually pollute the physical universe, but also completely blocked the connection between the human empires in the dark age of technology.

Since then, the dark age of science and technology, where reason and progress once existed, has been called the "Old Night" by humans struggling to survive in the endless darkness.

If the Iron Man Rebellion was a nearly fatal blow to the human empire, then this subspace storm born from the remains of the ancient empire completely tore the human empire apart.

When the boundless darkness completely shrouded the sky above each world, any ship that went to the subspace to try to find the rich routes of the past would lose contact. In the terrible silence among the stars, countless human beings in the entire galaxy In the world, all reason completely collapsed as if they had lost their foundation—their pride was completely crushed by the endless darkness, and their order kept regressing amidst madness and atrocities.

Obviously, the impact of this subspace storm is far more serious than humans imagined. This subspace storm that completely disintegrated the human empire lasted for five thousand years. During this period, countless lost human worlds were destroyed by various aliens. Occupied, oppressed by mutants, or even nastier cultists.

This has led to the ubiquitous presence of people today who are tainted by cursed energies from the Warp.

Mage, Wizard, Psyker.Their name has different names in every world, and the only characteristic of this group of people is that they have an extremely close connection with the subspace. With this strange talent beyond ordinary people, they can often Bring storms to a lost world...or introduce something more dangerous and nasty into the world.

The chaos and ignorance continued until the No.30 millennium. After five thousand years of endless darkness, the huge subspace storm that swept the entire galaxy finally dissipated slowly.

A brand-new empire originating from the human home planet Terra was re-established, and on the flaming blade of the Lord of Humanity, a grand war to launch an expedition to the entire galaxy began.

Yes, to this day, the human empire is still using the ancient subspace engine - however, today is different, in the dark universe of No. 30 millennia, there is nothing like a plunge into the chaotic subspace The subspace that has gone through the entire era of strife is full of incomprehensible dangers that are enough to dissolve reason.

Moreover, in subspace, the concept of time and space does not exist at all.

When a ship sails from the most stable warp rift 'Mandeville Point' in the sector into a relatively smooth warp lane, it can arrive at its destination too early or too late land.

You can travel from the future to the past, or from the past to the future.

Because of its very special characteristics, it also makes No. 30 millennium, the dangerous and unknown subspace channel, extremely dangerous.

No matter when and where, one must carefully follow the opened subspace route.

Once caught in the turbulence and storm of this sea of ​​souls, anyone will know that the next voyage will be full of dangerous unknowns, whether it is surrounded by dangerous warp creatures in it, or it is too long. During the journey, the supplies are exhausted, or they are simply directly involved in the storm and get lost completely, never to return to the material universe.

However.Even though all kinds of crises are waiting in this chaotic and unknown sea all the time, the great journey of the human empire can only rely on this dangerous way to ride the star sea—because people who have experienced the era of strife do not want to wait for the rebirth of new technology , the glorious past has long been an unknown ancient history. For human beings who have struggled for five thousand years, the moment they can return to the starry sky from the endless darkness is enough to move them.

In fact, no one knows when the next warp storm of great scale will come, and no one knows whether the age of strife, already painful enough for mankind, will become another old night.

Therefore, on Terra, the home planet of human beings, the Lord of Humanity built a majestic building called 'Astronomical Torch'.It guides the incomparable majestic spiritual energy of the Lord of Humans, and ignites a blazing light in the subspace that can illuminate the entire galaxy, guiding the human ships to no longer get lost on the subspace channel.

In this way, during the short period when the subspace storm dissipated, the human empire could find the lost worlds scattered throughout the galaxy along a safe route.

This is also the basis for the Great Crusade launched by the Lord of Mankind to the entire galaxy.

This is also the basis for the No.12 Legion to dare to directly enter the subspace.

No matter when and where, the light from the Holy Terra will bless them from losing their way forward.
