Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation - Chapter 253

  Chapter 253 Reporting the Mourning Bird (for subscription)

  Those engineering mechs seem to be designed with a lot of emphasis on functionality, rather than appearance.

  The steel bones, coupled with those exposed hydraulic equipment, are full of complicated technical qualities and rough industrial sense.

  The roaring engine rumbles, every step looks very heavy, and the thick exhaust pipe will release a lot of steam.

  The engineering mechs that come out are of different scales, big and small.

  The big one is hundreds of meters high, and the huge fuselage is like a mythical Titan. Just standing there gives people a huge sense of oppression.

  The small ones are only five or six meters high.

  Compared with the big mecha, it is smaller and more flexible, with propellers installed at the back, capable of hovering and flying, and using mechanical tentacles for operations.

  Hold all kinds of mechanical equipment in your hands.

  Those engineering mechas opened up the black tunnel wall, and at the same time assembled those mechanical equipment to form a unique tunnel wall.

   Surprisingly, the engineering mecha has no aesthetic feeling at all, but the tunnel built is very smooth, without any trace of industry.

  Like a polished silver gemstone, under the crystal clear case, the unique glow of electromagnetic lines is shining.

   Even with the naked eye, you can see how smooth the tunnel wall is.

  Such a magnificent tunnel shows a connotation that eliminates all functions and technologies, and shows the ease and detachment of philosophy and art.

  It can be called a work of art.

  The tunnel is huge and can be called a magnificent engineering marvel.

  Pure human beings look a little small standing inside.

  Qiuchen watched those engineering mechs coming out of the tunnel, the golden double-headed eagle emblem was etched on the thick metal body.

   Glitters in dim sunlight.

  The suspension propeller behind it was also buzzing, sending out high-temperature air waves.

  The driver sits in the overhead cockpit.

  With the enhanced senses, Qiu Chen was able to watch the astonishment on the driver’s face.

  They may not have thought of such a scene themselves.

   “Where did they come from?”

   “Did you dig it like that??”

   “There’s nothing behind the gate?”

   “My God, this is incredible.”

  Many passers-by gathered outside the cordon, with surprise and astonishment in their eyes.

  They talked a lot, and they were all amazed and incredible in their tone.

   But those imperial people did not give any explanation to them.

  Let their hearts be full of doubts.

  Qiu Chen originally thought that those engineering mechas would jump down to say hello to them or something.

   Unexpectedly, after those engineering mechs dug through the road, they were very vigilant.

   It seems that those imperial people and traversers are some indescribable monsters.

  They retreated to the depths of the tunnel in an orderly manner, without saying hello to Qiu Chen and the others.

   After a while, a train rushed out deep in the tunnel.

  The front of that train is equipped with a plasma energy stack. When it is moving forward, it will emit high-temperature steam from time to time like an ancient steam train and make a piercing whistle.

   The train stopped at the end of the tunnel, on the other side of the black gate.

   After it came to a complete stop, a group of Imperials wearing scarlet robes and holding gear crutches came down.

   They converse in a weird binary language.

   A moment later, a guy who had been transformed beyond recognition, with little flesh and blood in his body, also walked down.

  Qiu Chen could tell that his status was very high.

  The red robes along the way are saluting him.

  The big figures in the base, Celestine with white wings, Agman in blue power armor, also appeared one after another and went up to meet them.

   After chatting for a while, they returned to the tower with the highest level of secrecy in the base, where no one else was allowed to approach.

  The train quickly returned to the tunnel and sank into the depths of the silver tunnel.

   But soon, there are other trains coming.

   More humans in golden double-headed eagle uniforms and some supplies arrived.

  They have more or less mechanical prosthetic limbs, and their expressions look very rational and indifferent.

   No one talked to the traversers.

  They were all in a hurry and didn’t care about the noisy traversers.

“Couldn’t they all come from the empire?? That empire dug a tunnel?” An old traveler said with a shocked expression, “At that time, they will be able to travel through different universes by relying on this tunnel.” ?”

   “Impossible, if this kind of thing can be done, how terrifying is that empire!”

   “They don’t look very strong, and they fight the fog creatures with real knives and guns.”

   “What is strong?”

“Haven’t you seen that kind of supreme power? One breath can blow up countless universes, immortality, rebirth from a drop of blood, the kind that can rule forever?? That kind of level is in line with the level of the multiverse. Look at it They actually want to use engineering mechs to repair tunnels, they are very weak at first glance.”

   “You probably have hysteria from reading too many comics.”

   “The kind of thing that looks as fierce as a tiger at first glance, and the record is zero to five, do you think it is strong?”

   “What he likes is the kind of supreme power that can’t even make a hole except for the avenue being wiped out after three days of fighting.”

“Hahaha, I suddenly remembered a TV series I watched before time travel. It set two cosmic-level powerhouses. They talked about hype, the king is invincible, and destroyed the universe with one breath. As a result, they fought in the community. There are no pits left, and there are still a bunch of people bragging about their combat power.”

“What’s this? I’ve seen a terrific anime. It said that the protagonist is immortal, beyond all boxes, and is a super strong man. Then, the protagonist was locked in an iron cage by the villain organization. Fighting wits with a group of villains who can be killed with a pistol, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and opening a harem there. At that time, I wished I could kill the author with a kitchen knife. What kind of mental state is it to create such a thing? Speaking of Well, I have to write this down, and if I can go back, I’ll kill the author, otherwise it will make people angry when I think about it.”

   “Take animation and novels as reality, and the result is probably a brain hole.”

   “Those multi-level almighty powers are so terrifying they make me shake, hope they don’t break the floor of my house.”

   “I’m shaking too.”

  Many traversers talked about this, and all laughed again.

   Qiuchen looked at the huge tunnel, and he agreed with the old traverser’s statement.

  That may really be a tunnel connecting other universes.

  If that is the case, how amazing is the strength of the empire.

  Duoduo can be regarded as the kind of powerful force at the multiverse level, who can secretly control things like traversers, which belongs to that kind of unimaginable existence.

  Staying from day to night, no one paid any attention to the surrounded travelers.

  Seeing the trains coming and going in the tunnel and the staff wearing the imperial eagle emblem constantly coming out.

   Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Qiu Chen didn’t waste any more time guarding there.

   It seems that this matter will not have any results in a short time, it is better to go back to sleep and rest up.

   Slowly wait for the empire to decrypt it.

  Back home, just finished washing and getting ready to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

   “Who? He only picks people to knock on the door when he’s sleeping.” Qiu Chen was also a little annoyed.

   But he had no choice but to get up.

   When he walked to the door, he looked at the situation outside from the surveillance camera.

   It was Titus who had a good relationship with him who knocked on the door.

  The opponent is wearing heavy power armor.

  Following behind were several soldiers who were also wearing power armor.

   Looks ready for battle? ?

   “Come to check the water meter?” Qiu Chen’s first thought was this? ?

  Has he done anything against the laws of the Empire recently? ?

   Daily prayers are also very pious? ?

   Is it against the law for Kouhe to date the beautiful Miss Celestine? ?

  Let a reckless man like Titus come to his door to make trouble for him? ?

   “Is there something wrong? Titus.” Qiu Chen opened the door and asked in confusion.

   “There is an urgent task, put on your clothes and follow me.” Titus said: “In the name of the great regent, we don’t have much time to lose.”

   “You have to tell me what to do?” Qiu Chen felt relieved when he heard what Titus said. The laws of the empire are extremely harsh. Once he is convicted, it is really hard to justify.

   “I have to be prepared. You know, different environments require different weapons. The more targeted, the better the survival rate.”

  After hearing Qiu Chen’s words, Titus was silent for a moment, but still said something.

“The different universe project needs you. We found a brand new coordinate from the soul of a traverser. If there is no accident, the base will be able to master the way to go to different universes. For safety reasons, we need several traversers to go together .”

“You are so powerful that no one can match you. Even those weird creatures are definitely not your opponents? Why do you want to go with us?” Qiu Chen turned around and returned to the room, put on his clothes, took up his weapon, and showed a puzzled look on his face. asked.

“If you rush from one universe to another, there may be a crisis. The physical rules of the misty world have been distorted by the subspace. The gods have invaded this universe and destroyed the physical rules of this universe. They have also provided us with Convenience, access to this universe that is about to be destroyed and completely swallowed will not be subject to any restrictions. Just like a planet with space cracks, demons can easily enter and exit without blood sacrifices.”

   “The traversers you have been screened out may be able to help us avoid those crises. Let’s go, the gunboat is waiting outside, we only need a few minutes to reach the base.”

   “It sounds like my role is like a mourning bird.” Qiu Chen shrugged and said as he walked.

  Qiuchen lives in a building with a landing platform for suspended vehicles.

   Walk out of the gate and you will see a floating gunship.

  The imperial double-headed eagle emblem is inlaid at the position of the hatch.

  The anti-gravity array emits an electromagnetic hissing sound, releasing a powerful anti-gravity force field, keeping the gunship in a suspended state ten centimeters above the ground.

   Unless the gunship does not need to go out to perform tasks, it will not turn off the anti-gravity array if it stops temporarily.

   “Mourning bird?” Titus strode onto the buzzing hovering gunboat, his helmetless face showing a daze.

“In my world, when it first entered industrialization, the automation of mines was very low, and there were not so many devices for detecting toxic gases. Many miners were poisoned and died without knowing it. For the sake of safety, the miners at that time thought of a way , that’s when you go down the mine, take a canary with you, as long as they don’t make noise, it means danger is coming.”

  Hearing Qiu Chen’s words, Titus laughed.

“If you think so, it’s not unreasonable. But I still want to tell you that this is a rare opportunity. If you succeed, you will have the opportunity to go to the next level, be accepted into the huge system of the empire, and even one day, You will be sent back to the universe you are in as a model, so that the humans in that world can swear allegiance to the empire.”

   “I understand, wealth and wealth are found in danger.” Qiu Chen said.

   “Let’s go, those guys are already waiting for us. If all goes well, we will be able to set off soon. The empire needs more information about the universe, which will be of great use.” Titus said.

  The outpost is very huge.

   It was built based on the small town at that time.

  Now, this outpost has become the bridgehead of the misty world and the largest gathering place for humans.

   Sitting on a suspended gunboat, watching the city.

  Ranging Qiuchen’s heart is also full of mixed feelings.

   Outside the outpost city lies a dangerous world of mist, where hideous, twisted monsters lurk.

   Those ruined cities and ruins proclaim the horrors of the old days.

  The huge wall of the outpost city separated the two.

   Inside the walls are safe gathering places, flashing neon lights, where people work.

   Enjoying a life no different from the normal world.

  The buildings in the outpost city are getting taller and taller. At this point in time, there are flashing neon lights everywhere.

  Taverns, barbecue stalls, and hidden bad places have all opened for business.

  People have finished their day’s work and are releasing excess hormones and relieving stress.

  The flying traffic is like a school of barracudas on the bottom of the sea, flowing continuously, flying in an orderly manner according to the specified height and road.

  The gunboat that Titus is on has the highest road authority.

  The empire takes the military as the first priority.

  Military vehicles take precedence over social vehicles.

  The imperial gunboat skimmed across the air lane, even though there was a constant flow of traffic, it went unimpeded and did not delay any time.

   The center of the outpost city is also the tallest building in the city, tall and majestic.

  The gunboat stayed on the dedicated landing pad, and Titus jumped off the vehicle with Qiu Chen and others.

   Qiuchen noticed that the number of guards here had increased.

   There are also some nuns in power armor patrolling back and forth.

  Holding a gear scepter, the mechanical priest who has not much flesh and blood on his body stares at Qiu Chen.

  The rotating electronic prosthetic eye listed all its information in the mind under the response of the database in milliseconds.

  If there is a problem, they will take action directly and require the target to be inspected without any reason.

  They can even kill suspicious targets who are unwilling to cooperate with the inspection.

   Walking through the corridor, Qiu Chen was brought into a magnificent hall.

  A gigantic sculpture of the Emperor sits in a shrine at the end of the hall, a suspended servo-skull holding a censer or candlestick with mechanical tentacles.

  Incense smoke enveloped the hall, surging on the ground like a tide opening a floodgate.

  A group of high-level empire officials are standing around the projection, and the pale projection light is reflected on their faces.

   Sitting in the main seat is Agman with a serious face and sharp lines like a knife and an axe. Beside him is Celestine with a handsome face, a good figure, a sacred aura, and a pair of white wings.

  Qiu Chen glanced at those people, each of them was a powerful person who could easily decide his life or death.

   This is no joke.

  Anyone here who speaks can shake the outpost.

   Absolutely no traveler is stupid enough to come here to provoke anyone here.

  Whether it is force or power, they stand at the pinnacle of this world.

  Qiu Chen noticed that there were other time travelers who had been summoned, and counted silently in his heart. There were a total of eight time travelers here.

  Obviously, like him, he was one of the candidates selected to participate in the trip to another universe.

   Eight mourning birds.

   It seems that the danger of this operation is really “tsk tsk”.

   Wealth and wealth are in danger.

  Once it succeeds, the future is limitless, and it will definitely be noticed by the highest figure in the empire.

  Such a terrifying empire, as long as you can join it, the benefits are unimaginable, and you may become a big man walking in many universes, deciding the life and death of millions of living beings with every move.

   It goes without saying that it failed.

   “It seems that everyone is here, so let’s start.” Agman waved his palm, and the huge projection changed accordingly, and a row of names and images appeared.

  Qiuchen saw his image, obviously, this is a member of the different universe exploration team.

   “Please explain the plan for the next stage to everyone participating in the meeting, Sage Stern.” Agman looked at a high-level participant in a red robe, all of whom were mechanically transformed.

   Qiuchen followed the other person’s gaze and looked over, it was the man in red robe who he saw coming out of the train before.

  The other party’s name is Sage Stern.

  After years of understanding, Qiu Chen knew that the main scientific research institution of the empire was an organization called Mechanicum.

  This organization calls researchers of different levels as apprentices, priests, sages, and it is said that there is a higher level of foundry generals.

  Qiu Chen had only seen the mechanical priest before, not the so-called sage.

   This made him look a few more times.

  The mechanical sage has a tall body, which may be related to his highly mechanized transformation.

  There are seven or eight mechanical tentacles on his body, each of which is like an extension of his body, and it is used smoothly without jamming.

“The first section of the tunnel has been built, which represents the staged success of the empire’s work, but it is still far from the final success.” Stern stood up, and a mechanical tentacle clicked in the holographic projection, “This universe is only of scientific research value to the empire. A large number of worlds have been completely corroded, and the laws of physics have been distorted to the point where it is difficult to recover. For this reason, we cannot invest too many resources in this universe.”

   “We need to continue to study the characteristics of the subspace in depth. On the basis of today’s, find the way to other universes. And them.”

The words of Sage Stern stopped, and another tentacle pointed to Qiu Chen and the others and continued: “These foreigners are our best breakthrough, even though they have lived here for a long time, they still have some traces The traces of the original universe, these traces are the coordinates we need.”

“Starting from these coordinates, we may be able to reach those universes. Of course, this is an extremely risky behavior. We know nothing about those universes, and those universes may have complete laws of space and time, and have never been distorted and destroyed by subspace. If so, our presence will inevitably cause some possible defenses. Just like the demons who want to enter our universe will be expelled by the laws of physics.”

   Originally, I wanted to write 10,000, write the bird of mourning, and enter other universes, but after a short sleep, it was too much.
