Chapter 710 Emperor Evangelion
Cauldera star orbits in space.
From the surface of the planet to the orbital space, the atmosphere and space are filled with giant rocks of various sizes covered with soil. These rocks float up and down in the chaotic gravity, sometimes being pulled up by the combat moon's gravity weapons, and sometimes falling down under the influence of the planet's gravity.
The battle moon created countless huge pits on the surface of Cordra that could be seen from space. The surface of the planet looked like it had been gnawed by teeth. These huge pits now turned into a series of irregular giant rocks floating in orbital space, blocking the combined fleet and the battle moon.
At this time, the battleship Rectification was sailing through countless crustal fragments that blocked out the sun and sky. This was not an easy task for a 12-kilometer-long space giant ship, and the same was true for the other battleships around it. Fortunately, the Rectification did not need to avoid every crustal fragment. The smaller ones could be smashed directly or smashed with the Light Lance Macro Cannon. Only the giant crustal fragments needed to be avoided by maneuvering.
The Supremacy sank suddenly, narrowly avoiding a piece of crustal debris that was several hundred kilometers in diameter, then moved sideways and accelerated instantly, passing through a shrinking gap like a giant whale dancing among icebergs.
With such a large maneuver, the gravity simulator inside the battleship didn't even have time to adapt to the instantaneous change in inertia. The mortal crew member who had just grabbed the edge of the table and stood firm was caught off guard and thrown out again. He rolled on the floor awkwardly for a few times, and immediately crawled back to his work station.
Fu Qinghai sat steadily in the middle of the captain's chair, looking up and seeing a giant crustal fragment quickly passing through the armored glass dome, casting a shadow that darkened the entire bridge. He looked back and saw a rock with soil smashed against the light spear turret on the ship's spine, and another hard rock took away a signal antenna spire on the battleship's hull and rolled behind him.
Fu Qinghai was indifferent to all this.
His eyes were fixed on a line of numbers on the screen:
"Distance to Battle Moon, 7349452..."
The green characters jumped and shrank at a very fast speed.
"Is the transporter deck ready?"
Fu Qinghai spoke calmly.
"Transporter deck and First Company are ready."
Qing Ming stood beside him and answered.
The basic tactical requirement of the Iron Pagoda Corps is that the Space Marines cannot teleport to the surface before establishing a teleport beacon, but now is a special case, and Fu Qinghai intends to initiate a teleport directly. The target of the battle moon is very large, so large that as long as the Space Marines successfully teleport to the surface of the battle moon, the error of several dozen meters will not affect anything, and the loss is within an acceptable range. On the contrary, launching assault boats, airdrop capsules and boarding torpedoes will most likely be intercepted by ground artillery fire on the battle moon.
"Enter teleport boarding distance."
The Thinker system issued a mechanical prompt sound.
"Start the boarding."
Fu Qinghai gave the order.
……
Battle on the moon's surface.
In the thin atmosphere, a group of green-skinned boys with thick necks and strong arms gathered in front of a giant squeaking cannon, staring eagerly at the screen in front of the technician boy, expecting a light spot to appear on the cracked screen, a target that could be shot up by the squeaking cannon.
This green version of the Light Spear was removed from a human warship. After a lot of thought and modification by the technician boy, its size has become much larger. The barrel wrapped with a spiral coil points straight into the sky, and the gun mount is surrounded by thick snake-like cables to provide power for this giant laser weapon.
The surface of the Battle Moon is covered with tens of thousands of these cannons, as well as other Ork versions of macro cannons and torpedoes.
"Why hasn't the shrimp battleship appeared yet?"
A green boy shouted impatiently:
"Is your radar broken, Maglotte?"
"They might need to go around those rocks in the sky."
The technician scratched the sparse hair on his head:
"The rocks blocked Shrimp's crispy battleship."
Just when they were looking forward to a brutal and exciting exchange of fire with the human fleet, several white lights flashed, accompanied by the spicy and cold breath of ether, and several black gold steel giants suddenly appeared around the gun mount. Before the green-skinned guys around the gun mount could react, the power lances flashing with arcs of electricity chopped down straight away, and the clustered orcs were instantly cut apart along with the surrounding cables.
The gun mount was instantly covered with organs and blood.
The orcs in other fortresses on the surface realized that the Space Marines were coming, and they all picked up their weapons and aimed them at this side and pulled the trigger. The dense bullets of various calibers were blocked by an invisible film around the iron giant and fell to the ground.
Assessing the threat level as low, the group of Iron Pagoda Terminators actually shut down the atomic shield generator in the thick shoulder armor, which is a very energy-consuming device, and allowed the bullets to hit the outer shell of the power armor. Bathed in the continuous dense barrage and splashing orange-yellow fire lines, the Terminators walked towards the fortifications at a leisurely and unwavering pace, towards the orcs who rushed out of the tunnel with a howling sound.
The leading Terminator stepped forward suddenly, holding the power lance tightly with both hands hanging at his waist and thrusting forward with all his strength. The four strong greenskins emerging from the tunnel were instantly pierced through, and hung on the lance like a string of candied haws. The Terminator pulled out the lance, stood aside holding the power lance in one hand, and raised his other hand to aim at the firing hole of the bunker next to him.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
The heavy explosive bullet on the arm poured into the shooting hole, and the greenskins and various debris in the bunker were instantly chopped and smashed by the shrapnel bouncing everywhere, turning into a ball of debris spray.
After clearing out several bunkers and surrounding fortifications, some Terminators continued to advance downward along the slope of the tunnel, while others stayed where they were and began to deploy transmission beacons.
……
The surface of the battle moon was blossoming at this moment. The White Scars warriors used the crustal debris to cover their arrival at boarding distance and launched teleportation boarding. As more and more space warriors descended on the surface, the paralysis of the weapon array on the battle moon's surface was spreading uncontrollably. These surface defense systems against space battleships failed before they even opened fire.
At the same time, the Final High Wall fleet was also bypassing this piece of crustal debris and attacking the Battle Moon from other directions and angles, which also attracted a large part of the surface firepower.
At this time, on the surface of the battle moon, at a temporary landing site built by the Iron Pagoda warriors, two technical sergeants gathered together to study a slightly strange-looking weapon in their hands.
"The measured air density is 0.774kg/m."
A technical sergeant looked at the measuring instrument in his hand and said:
“40% lower than the average air density in Kuitun.”
"The speed of the sonic projectiles will become slower."
Another technical sergeant analyzed and recorded:
"But the sound wave energy attenuation will also be smaller."
This weapon is roughly cylindrical in shape, and its size is roughly the same as a double-barreled melta cannon, which means that even for a Space Marine, this is a heavy individual weapon that needs to be held with both hands. This strange weapon has no barrel, only a bud-shaped metal ball in the middle of the muzzle connected to a straight rod, and a circle of petal-shaped trapezoidal iron plates around the muzzle. The expansion or contraction of this circle of iron plates can adjust the opening and closing of the muzzle.
"These changes in environmental parameters need to be taken into account."
The tech sergeant traced his finger across the data tablet:
"Do you need to adjust the output power of the sound waves?"
"Not for now, we will adjust it after testing."
Another technical sergeant gave the order:
"The sonic vibration frequency has been locked. Target type: Orks. Now, all these sonic shockwave cannons can be deployed to the tactical teams on the front line to replace the plasma annihilators, double-barreled melta cannons or Fat Man launchers they originally used. At the same time, inform them that according to the Khan's requirements, all kills caused by sonic weapons must be photographed and saved in the helmet eyepiece for analysis by the Phaeton Forge World."
"clear."
The technical sergeant agreed. The mechanical tentacles behind him came around and took the recorded data tablet and put it into the backpack. The other two mechanical tentacles clamped the grip and handle of the sonic shockwave cannon and lifted it to the side.
Yes, the weapon that Fu Qinghai is about to test on the Battle Moon is the sonic shockwave cannon. The basic principle of this weapon comes from Wakanda. The Wakandans have been developing and utilizing vibranium for a long time, and have also found out the fatal weakness of vibranium - sound waves, and have developed a technology tree for sonic weapons based on this. Master Buck simply increased the power of this weapon to a level that is enough to match the intensity of war in the Warhammer 40K universe.
The Iron Pagoda Regiment's sonic shockwave cannon is different from the sonic weapons of the Emperor's Children Noise Warriors, such as the Funeral Speaker, Doomsday Whistle, and Deadly Resonance. These noise weapons are essentially a kind of psychic transmitter. Sound waves are only a carrier of psychic energy, and it is the psychic energy that really causes damage.
The sonic shock cannon is a type of infrasonic weapon. Its principle is to use low-frequency, high-energy mechanical transverse waves to resonate with human organs or brain nerves, causing deformation, displacement, or even rupture of organs in the body, or causing mental breakdown and trance, thereby causing damage to the enemy's vitality.
Because the killing principle is resonance, unlike conventional weapons that rely on kinetic energy or high temperature to kill, so sonic weapons must find a special frequency that can resonate with the enemy's internal organs or brain nerves. This is why the sonic shock cannon was installed on a large scale by the Iron Pagoda War Corps a long time ago, but it has to wait until now to be used on the battlefield.
Because the sonic shockwave cannon had only two imaginary enemies: humans and space marines, and the sonic frequency was adjusted according to the internal organs and brain nerves of these two. During the Beast War, after conquering two battle moons and obtaining a large number of orc corpses and orc captives, the Phaeton Tech Priests conducted repeated tests and finally found the two frequencies that were most likely to resonate with the internal organs and brain nerves of the Orks.
Sonic shockwave cannon can be used against Orks.
……
Battle Moon is inside an underground passage.
A tactical squad of the Iron Pagoda Regiment is replacing new heavy weapons. The Space Marine who was originally responsible for using the double-barreled melta cannon has switched to a sonic shockwave cannon. He lifts the handle on the back of the barrel with one hand and pulls the trigger on the grip with the other.
"Set off."
The Space Marine officer waved forward.
The soldier holding the sonic shock cannon walked to the front of the team, and two soldiers holding pulse bolters covered him on both sides. The tactical team took a short break and changed their clothes before continuing to move forward. The winding passage ahead was empty except for the orc corpses on the ground. However, the Space Marine walking in the front adjusted the muzzle iron plate and rotated it, pointing the muzzle at the empty passage in front of him and pulled the trigger directly.
There was no fire or explosion. Invisible ripples spread forward along the muzzle. The air began to twist and swell visibly to the naked eye, but no sound was heard. The only sound in the passage was the faint footsteps of the Space Marines.
The tactical team advanced at a steady pace. The leading Space Marine kept moving forward, his finger firmly on the trigger. Circular ripples spread out in front of them, echoing in the empty passage and spreading towards the deeper parts of the passage.
……
At the same time, in this section of the tunnel winding and spiraling deep into the ground seven or eight kilometers away, an orc leader led his gun-flaunting villains and stolen gun boys to run forward quickly. They gathered a group of new fighting experts and prepared to regroup and retake the entrance to the tunnel occupied by the shrimp cans.
A group of fart spirits followed the greenskin boys, carrying long ammunition chains on their thin shoulders and pushing wheelbarrows piled with armor-piercing grenades and fire grenades with their hands. They were so tired that their tongues hung out and they were panting. They had to try their best to keep up with the pace of the greenskin boys.
Suddenly, the orc leader stopped.
A fart spirit who was pushing a cart behind him failed to react in time and bumped into the boss's calf with the wheelbarrow, causing the bullets and bombs in the cart to scatter all over the ground. The fart spirit was immediately frightened and trembled all over. He froze in place and looked up, fearing that the angry boss would kick him to death.
However, the orc leader ignored the reckless fart spirit at his feet. It narrowed its scarlet eyes, and the two small pointed ears on the side of its huge head kept twitching. The orc leader seemed to hear something, but it was not clear, like tinnitus, it seemed to be a kind of faint humming sound, and the look in its scarlet eyes was cunning and hesitant.
“Pack it up and keep moving!”
The orc leader kicked the fart monster.
After a brief interlude, the orc team continued to move forward.
Then, the orc leader stopped again.
It covered its chest, and rubbed its large palms on the composite plate armor on its chest. The orc leader felt an indescribable sudden suffocation and nausea. It bent down and opened its fang-like mouth. Its esophagus moved violently and contracted, and a muffled roar came from deep in its throat:
"Ouch——"
The orc leader vomited a large amount of stomach contents, and a sticky slurry of broken bones and meat spurted out like a waterfall.
“Ugh!” “Ugh!” “Ugh!”
Vomiting seemed to be contagious. All the green-skinned guys started to lean over and vomit. The muffled sound of esophageal spasms echoed in the passage. A group of fart spirits stood there, looking at each other in confusion. They didn't feel anything unusual.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh—"
The orc leader had vomited out all the contents of his stomach, drained out all his saliva, and spat out all his bile, but he was still vomiting, and still vomiting... He lay on the ground with all four limbs powerless, and sticky blood began to flow from his mouth, along with some tiny pieces of internal organs mixed with blood plasma.
"Lao Da, Lao Da, what's wrong with you!?"
The fart spirit circled around the boss at a loss.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...Pull, burp."
However, the orc leader no longer had any strength to answer the fart spirit. It rolled on the ground, its abdomen and chest filled with piercing pain and desperate suffocation. Its nose and throat were blocked by blood clots. It inserted its fingers into its nose and mouth and scratched hard, trying to get even a wisp of air.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang.
The orc leader's head exploded.
Its suffering was ended.
"Da da da da da da!"
A large group of armed Space Marines rushed into this passage and began to shoot at the kneeling Orks. The Orks did not put up any resistance and allowed the Space Marines to shoot them in the head one by one. This was not a real battle, but a one-sided massacre. The fart spirits threw away the ammunition belts and carts on their shoulders and scattered, but they could not avoid being chopped to pieces by the chainsaw swords.
All the orcs in the passage were wiped out.
The Space Marines suffered zero casualties.
When a new type of weapon is used on the battlefield for the first time, it can often cause completely asymmetric results.
The same scene was repeated in many places in the Battle Moon, and the orcs were collapsing and disintegrating in the sound waves.
……
The battleship Supremacy.
Fu Qinghai stood in the middle of the bridge with his hands behind his back, looking up at the large and small screens around him. The servo skull transmitted the images from the front line intermittently. The shaking camera showed how the space marines in various channels used the new weapons.
The Iron Pagoda Fleet was hovering above the Battle Moon at this time, because the Battle Moon's ground defense system had basically been paralyzed and would no longer pose any threat to the fleet.
After the Iron Pagoda Regiment took out the sonic shockwave cannon, the Orks suffered defeat on all fronts. They were completely unable to adapt to this new type of weapon that had drastically changed the traditional mode of warfare. They were caught off guard and suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Fu Qinghai glanced down at the strategic table.
A holographic projection of the battle moon was suspended on the table. Countless blue lines spread deep into the outlined channel, just like ink seeping into the tiny pores in paper. The red dots representing the orcs collapsed at the touch and quickly disappeared.
The battle line advanced so fast that it could be described as a total collapse.
The way sonic weapons work is indeed very unique.
Fu Qinghai observed the battle scene and analyzed silently.
First of all, the speed of sound waves is not fast, it depends on the propagation medium. The air on the battle moon is artificial air, the air is thin and the density is very low, the speed of sound waves here is even slower, any ordinary bullet speed is faster than the speed of sound.
Secondly, the damage of sonic weapons is not direct, and it can even be said to be a little slow. It cannot kill a person with one shot like a grenade launcher or a laser gun. It is more like a DeBuff that continuously causes blood loss to all enemies. This continuous negative state will not cause the enemy to die immediately, but will gradually lose its combat capability in the sonic waves.
In other words, in a sudden face-to-face encounter, the sonic shockwave cannon is almost useless. It cannot kill the enemy instantly. This weapon is more suitable for continuously suppressing the enemy from a distance to reduce the damage.
Because the range of sonic weapons is very long. As we all know, the lower the frequency of sonic waves, the farther they propagate. The infrasound waves produced by artillery explosions can propagate 80 kilometers, and the infrasound waves produced by hydrogen bomb explosions can circle the earth several times. Sonic shockwave cannons can attack the enemy from dozens of kilometers away, and this attack is invisible and extremely difficult to detect.
As for being silent, that is not necessarily the case. Because different species have different hearing ranges, for humans, sound waves with a frequency below 20 Hz cannot be heard, but dogs can hear them. Sonic shockwave cannons are silent for humans, but not necessarily for Orks, Eldar, Tyranids, Kroots and other alien races.
In addition to its long range, sonic weapons also have strong penetrating power. Unless the enemy knows in advance and has prepared special sound-absorbing materials to build fortifications, trenches, bunkers, fortresses, city walls, and even power armor are useless for sonic attacks. Low-frequency sound waves will only consume a small amount of energy to penetrate these solid materials.
Therefore, sonic weapons have changed the traditional mode of warfare. Just imagine how terrible it would be if people behind trenches, people in fortresses, and people wrapped in armor were all unable to resist such attacks. However, loose and porous sound-absorbing materials are often not strong enough, and few people would use these materials to build military fortifications.
Theoretically, sonic weapons can cause damage to buildings in addition to the human body, but this damage comes more slowly. For example, if a sonic weapon is used at a very high power to continuously act on a dam or a wall for several months, the resonance generated may only cause a few cracks in the wall or dam, but it will not collapse immediately, provided that the resonant frequency of the building is found.
For a war, this method can basically be ignored as its cost-effectiveness and feasibility are too low.
Summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the sonic shock cannon:
Disadvantages: Slow speed, slow damage.
Advantages: long range and strong penetration.
Fu Qinghai concluded, stroking his chin.
After this actual combat test, he has some general ideas about how to deploy this weapon in the future.
……
"Hear the Emperor's Word, you xenos!"
Inside the underground passage of the Battle Moon, the Iron Pagoda warriors strode forward with their sonic shockwave cannons and laughed wildly. The muzzles of the cannons continuously released circles of ring-shaped sonic waves. As they watched the orcs wailing, rolling, twitching and convulsing in the sonic waves, their laughter became more and more rampant:
"You will be purified in the sound!"
New weapons are always a delight.
Especially its actual combat power is so amazing.
The battle brothers around him rushed past him and towards these orcs who had lost their fighting ability, swinging their chainswords and power swords to easily behead them. The resistance was minimal and they were not even willing to waste bombs and electricity for this.
The Iron Pagoda Corps' sonic shockwave cannon can adjust the width of the sound beam by changing the iron plate at the muzzle, so that the sound waves are concentrated in a straight line instead of spreading in all directions. This directional sound wave technology also exists in the real world and has been widely used by government departments in many countries, mostly to expel protesters.
"Re-adjust the frequency of sound wave vibration."
The technical sergeant behind him spoke:
"Test the neural infrasound."
Infrasonic weapons can be divided into neural and organ-type. The Space Marines have been firing organ-type infrasonic waves, and the vibration frequency is mainly aimed at the internal organs of the orcs. Hearing the technical sergeant's request, the Space Marines adjusted the frequency settings accordingly.
New sound waves surged out from the muzzle.
The tactical team continued to advance rapidly.
The Space Marines soon noticed that the orcs who had been coughing up blood and vomiting due to the effect of the sound waves began to show some kind of madness symptoms under the continued effect of the new sound waves. They either became mentally disturbed and madly shot at everything around them without distinguishing between friend and foe, or they turned around in circles in a daze until they fainted and went into shock.
"The killing effect is not significant."
The Space Marine reported aloud what he saw:
“But the duration of action is shorter.”
……
Battleship HMS Regent, bridge.
Compared with organ-type infrasound, neural-type infrasound seems to have better practical effects because it takes less time to take effect.
Fu Qinghai analyzed the information sent back from the front line.
In fact, from the perspective of the Orcs, they are not completely unable to resist attacks from sonic weapons.
The thin air in the Battle Moon is artificially created. As long as the orcs choose to shut down the large air-making equipment in the Battle Moon and let the air escape into space, the sonic weapons will lose their propagation medium and naturally will not be able to work.
The Space Marines are not affected because they have an internal circulation breathing system in their power armor. However, all the Orcs in the battle moon who are not equipped with fully enclosed power armor will suffocate due to the vacuum.
Fu Qinghai couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
Although this method causes zero harm to the enemy, it will only cost you 10,000.
But there is a way anyway, right?
"Hussar Battalion, prepare to deploy to the surface of Caldera."
Fu Qinghai leaned over and gave an order into the communication channel:
"You have only one mission: find Vulkan."
During the boarding of the Battle Moon, the Hussar Battalion among the three cavalry companies was always kept as a reserve force and was not used, just for this moment: the Battle Moon has basically been confirmed to have fallen, and Fu Qinghai would be best if he could find Wokan before everyone else and make some preparations for the subsequent operations.
After being whipped and ravaged by the combat moon's gravity storm weapons, the entire surface of Cordra must be in ruins, no less than being hit by an asteroid. In this case, jet motorcycle cavalry is the best choice for searching for the Primarch, and Fu Qinghai sent out an entire company.
"Understood, Khan."
The cavalry company commander agreed straightforwardly.
