Chapter 392: Expedition Road: Set Sail
Captain Rena skillfully reviewed the holographic interface in front of her. Her eyes kept jumping from the chaotic parameters and information nodes. She quickly searched for useful information and quickly found the one she wanted. The important part.
"Yeta, how is the repair status of the propulsion engine?" Reina said, pushing away the holographic interface in front of her. She looked down and looked at Yeta, who was standing behind the bird commander. She held the terminal with one hand. At the top, he looked sideways at the information on it.
"The people from the Mechanicus said that the repairs have basically been completed. They are doing the final debugging and should be able to start up soon." "Let them check carefully. Don't overload and burn the control cables as soon as they are turned on like before. "Yes." "I'll inform them."
Yeta said and patted Chief Bird's shoulder. She pointed to the terminal in front of her and began to issue the captain's orders. The operators on both sides were working efficiently. Reina was very pleased to find that although they had already I haven’t been on a ship in decades, but once I got to the terminal, I seemed to recall everything instinctively.
They knew what to do almost immediately without any review or training. The bridge became busy in the blink of an eye, each performing their duties to deal with all the complicated problems. This also allowed them to complete the repairs and repairs so quickly. After debugging work, the entire Emperor's Dream is almost ready to once again roar like the Emperor as its name suggests.
Reina said as she reached out and pulled out a window from the side. She slid her fingers up and down on it. On it was a list recording all the parts that needed repair and adjustment. Those that were not completed will be marked in red, and those that were completed will be marked in red. It was marked green, and to Raina's satisfaction, most of it was green.
"Everything seems to be going well. The efficiency of the crew is surprising and satisfactory, Captain." Captain Sumani came from behind. He stood next to Reina and looked at the huge floating window in front of her with her. The long land list has reached its bottom, which also means that everything is completed.
"Indeed, the situation is going more smoothly than we expected. Company Commander, how are your soldiers doing?" Reina said as she retracted the window inward, then threw it out, and the window quickly flew outward. After exiting, it disappeared at the edge of the holographic projection beam.
"It went very well. The wounded were treated, our power armor was repaired, and the weapons were finally replaced." Sumani said, patting the chain sword hanging on his waist. The sword was made of green leather. The scraps and scraps have been transformed back into the empire's standard manufacturing crafts.
Although Sumani wanted to find a power sword, it was obvious that the ship could not produce that kind of high-end weapon for the time being. In other words, even if it could be produced, it would take up precious production lines and resources, so Sumani just took it. A chainsword will suffice.
Reina glanced at Sumani beside her and nodded. She looked around at the holographic windows around the bridge. From there she looked at the unobstructed holographic scene, especially the deserted settlement below, which was already full of people. The building was empty, and most of the equipment around the building had been dismantled and moved away. Only the abandoned pipelines and broken parts were still there.
"Yeta, has everyone boarded the ship?" Reina leaned on the armrest and looked down. Yeta nodded below. She took the data plate from an officer walking over. After reviewing it carefully, he raised his head and shouted upwards.
"Everyone is on board. The Sun Army is doing the final work, leading the mechanical priests to delete or blow up the data modules that cannot be taken away. But it should have been finished, after all, I haven't heard the explosion for several minutes. "
As soon as Yeta said this, there was an explosion outside. She was stunned for a moment, took a look outside with the data pad, and pointed at the holographic floor-to-ceiling window with the pad, "Well, at least this should be the last batch. ”
Reina nodded with satisfaction. She leaned on the armrest and looked down at the busy bridge below. "Everyone is on board. Everything is ready, except"
"Beyond the Marshal." Captain Sumani said from behind. He clasped his hands in front of him and looked out the holographic bridge window ahead. "Do we know where the Marshal is? We can't leave him alone, and we can't leave him alone." Only he knows where we should go."
Reina glanced at Sumani, then put one hand on the armrest and turned to look at Lilith behind her. She was lying on the throne, nestled in it very gracefully, with her back leaning on the armrest and her legs. It was raised high and hung out from the other side.
Lilith threw away a cookie. The small cookie was thrown high, then rolled and fell into her mouth. Lilith chewed the cookie with satisfaction, a look on her face. face smile.
"Judge Lilith, do you know where the marshal is?" Reyna asked looking at Lilith chewing her mouth. She was very dissatisfied with Lilith eating like this on the bridge. This seriously violated the rules of the Imperial Navy. According to the management regulations, if it were an ordinary sailor, she would have had someone drag her out and give her a few whips, but Lilith obviously couldn't be treated like this. She was Vito's woman, so Reina could only endure it.
Captain Sumani also pressed the hilt of the chain sword and turned around. The action was not out of hostility, but just a subconscious action. He looked at Lilith sitting on the throne, "If I didn't remember, Wrong, you were the last person to see the Marshal on that Eldar transport ship, and then he disappeared."
"Yes, that's right." Lilith said and picked up another cookie from the bowl on her abdomen. She threw it directly into her mouth, chewing it with her teeth, her expression showing. It seems quite enjoyable.
"So, can you tell us where he went?" Sumani spread his hands and asked speechlessly. He really didn't know why Vito fell in love with such a careless woman. It could even be said that he was arrogant. She had an aura about her that made Sumani quite unhappy, just like all the Eldar he had seen before.
Lilith swayed her legs. She picked up another biscuit and turned it in her hands to look at it. "He said it should be kept secret, so I guess I can't tell you."
"Then when will he come back?" Reina asked with a slight frown. She still couldn't stand Lilith's frivolity. To be honest, she was unhappy with this woman staying in the bridge.
"You can guess, there will be prizes. Whoever guesses correctly will give him a cookie." Lilith said and threw the cookie up, and the small square cookie rotated in the air. , and then it suddenly fell towards her open mouth, but this time, she couldn't taste the thing.
Because the biscuit was suddenly caught and held in the air by a hand, Reina and Sumani, who were standing in front of the throne, turned their heads and saw the person standing next to the throne. He was wearing a silver The armored boots took a step forward, and the layered iron plates on them made a clicking sound.
"Eat less of these biscuits. They are made of butter and are frighteningly high in calories." The man said and tapped Lilith's turned forehead with his finger. He covered his head and pouted as he looked away. People who have passed.
"Then you still eat?" "I didn't say I wanted to maintain my weight, and I've been burning calories like crazy before." The man said and threw the biscuit into his mouth, chewed it and walked to the two people in front of the throne. , Sumani looked at the muttering man standing in front of him with one hand on his hips and bowed his head.
"Sir Vito." "To be honest, you'd better call me Vito. Each of you talks to me with the phrase "Sir", which always makes me feel uncomfortable and makes me feel like I have to put on a straight face and pretend to be cool. That’s it.”
Vito said in an inarticulate manner. He chewed the biscuits in his mouth and spoke in a garbled voice. Reina on the other side looked at him and raised her eyebrows in displeasure. She cleared her throat in a low voice and coughed to remind him. , the latter smiled and swallowed the biscuit residue in his stomach.
He scratched the corners of his mouth with his fingers to remove all the residue. He was quite comfortable and glanced at Sumani beside him without any marshal look, and looked at the power armor on his body, "It looks like you guys I’ve already changed my clothes and gone back. I hope my big baby has changed his clothes and is ready to take him out to meet people.”
Vito said with a smile, turning his eyes to look at Reina, who put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, "The maintenance work is all ready, the final debugging is in progress, and it will be launched soon."
"Very good. Have all the passengers boarded the ship?" Vito asked through gritted teeth. Sumani in front of him cleared his throat and raised his head with a displeased look on his face.
"Everyone has boarded the ship, but there are still some unpopular passengers on the ship." "Green passengers." Reina immediately added, and Vito looked at the two of them and shrugged slightly.
"Where are my little green people doing now? I hope they didn't see how attractive my beautiful girl is and couldn't help but take off her clothes."
"Thanks to the Emperor's blessing. No, not yet, but they did try. Colonel Peter and the Astartes almost killed them if it weren't for your order." Reyna clasped her hands behind her back and frowned. Mei said rather dissatisfied. It was obvious that she was unhappy with such a group of uninvited travelers on her ship.
It's like you just decorated your house, and then a group of noisy neighbors you don't know crowded into your home, ate the things in your refrigerator, and played with your precious collectibles. I disconnected the water pipes in your house, and then water sprayed all over the floor and you had to mop the floor.
Vito looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, they will get off the boat soon." "When?" "After a while, when they help me take care of things, they will get off the boat naturally."
Reina and Sumani looked at each other, obviously neither understood what Vito was saying, but the latter obviously didn't want to explain, he just shrugged, "You will understand soon, it will be a surprise. ”
Vito said and walked between the hesitant two people. They all subconsciously moved to the sides when Vito came. The latter passed in front of them and walked to the edge of the captain's platform and looked down at the handrail. Go, he spotted the red-haired Yeta at a glance. She looked particularly conspicuous below.
"First Officer Yeta, are everything ready?" "Yes, sir, everything is ready. I just received news that the last batch of the Sun Army has also boarded the ship, and the people of the Mechanicus have also completed the final debugging. ”
Yeta raised her head and looked at Vito above. The Bird Commander and other operators beside her also raised their heads. Everyone on the entire bridge looked at Vito who was standing high above. , overlooking the people below.
"Your order? Sir." Yeta asked on behalf of all the silent crew members. Her words were filled with expectations. There was an irrepressible enthusiasm burning in her chest, almost about to erupt. Vito could start from there. Look at the passionate flame in your eyes.
He looked around at everyone in the bridge, and everyone had the same passion in their eyes. They had been waiting for this day for too long, not a day, not a week, not a month, not a year, but sixty years.
"Sir, you should give the order." Reina came up from the side, she stood beside Vito and whispered softly, her eyes also overlooking the bridge area below. Vito nodded on her side, he raised his head and immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the bird master.
"Bird master, the reactor power is injected into the propulsion engine, ready to ignite."
"Yes, sir." The bird master turned around immediately, and he quickly clicked on the screen in front of him with his modified mechanical fingers, accompanied by a ticking sound, and quickly pulled up the fuel injection ruler, and the red display bar quickly surged up.
"Mechanic priest, three rings awaken the machine soul and start the program." Vito pointed to the red-robed Mechanic priest on the side below. The latter nodded with his neck turning gears, then turned to look at the three mechanical servants embedded in the wall. They immediately began a vague and complex whisper.
At first, only one mechanical servant was whispering, but soon they all started chanting. Their words were chattering in binary sacred mechanical words, and with the hoarse voice, three deep bells rang in the entire bridge.
As the third bell ended with the last tremolo, many screens in the entire bridge lit up. Yetta looked at the screen behind her and smiled happily. She raised her head to look at the countless terminals that were shining around her, and listened to the roar of the Thinker engine starting.
"Fire control officer, shield charging, close the outer deck." Vito calmly turned his head and looked to the other side. The fire control officer sitting in front of the long-shot screen on the side of the bridge immediately nodded, and his fingers performed a series of short but dazzling operations on the complex instruments in front of him.
"Shields begin to charge, and the outer armor begins to close."
Before the fire control officer finished speaking, a heavy armor collision sound came from outside, which gave him enough support for his words. Vito looked at the flashing blue shield outside the window, and the shield covered the window with shining light.
"Old Barbosa, helmsman, let us fly." "Yes, sir."
The helmsman standing on the disc steps below Vito immediately pulled down the handle next to the control panel. He quickly clicked on the holographic interface in front of him. With a thunderous roar, the old helmsman suddenly lifted a handle next to his feet. The moment the small handle was lifted, it released a powerful force.
There was a violent tremor under Reina and Sumani's feet, and the entire bridge seemed to have an earthquake, but Vito stood there calmly, with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene outside the window, watching the mountains and the white clouds in the sky sliding down quickly.
The huge Emperor Fantasy warship ignited the huge thrusters on its belly, and the entire row of thrusters from the bow to the end ignited instantly, and a huge plasma flame sprayed down the surface. After the huge vibration, the bulky warship slowly floated up from the ground, and it tore off the entire ground when it was lifted from the surface.
Under the broken surface, there was a whole row of plasma flames that violently sprayed downwards. They rumbled and lifted the hull into the air. The bright flames illuminated the settlement buildings on one side of the warship. Along with the vibration of the giant ship, the strata that were torn up also began to disintegrate with the vibration.
The broken land smashed into the surrounding ground, and the unmanned buildings in the settlement were instantly pressed down. In the dust, the Emperor Fantasy completely broke away from the earth, and slowly rose to the sky with huge flames.
The towering mountains on one side collapsed under the impact of the close-range thrusters, and a large amount of rubble rolled down, flying along the mountain to a newly appeared huge rift below. In the shadow of the valley, countless rubble smashed into it, and some of the stones hit the shield of the battleship, and then slid down after being crushed.
Vito looked at the mountaintop sliding down out of the window. There was nothing outside him, which meant that the battleship had left the highest altitude point of the planet. The old helmsman quickly pulled the remaining handles on both sides, and the jet nozzle on the belly of the battleship adjusted the steering. Under the huge thruster flames, the bow of the battleship was gradually lifted up and aimed at the sky.
Vito smiled at the bright sky outside the window. He raised his head slightly and leaned on the armrest. "Let's go to the stars."
"With pleasure, sir." Old Barbossa said, and with a smile, he pushed down the longitudinal tilt push rod at hand. The handle quickly hit the top, and then came the release of unparalleled power.
The huge main thruster at the end of the Emperor Fantasy instantly ignited, and the surrounding auxiliary thrusters also ejected dazzling flames. Hundreds of meters of flames instantly shot from the end of the warship to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the uninhabited settlement below was instantly engulfed. The raging fire swept the earth and caused a sea of fire in the surrounding forests.
Against the backdrop of the burning flames on the surface, the dragon-like Emperor Fantasy rushed to the sky after a roar that resounded through the sky. Vito stood behind the captain's armrest and looked at the clouds rolling quickly in front of him. When the warship rushed into the atmosphere, a raging fire burned outside the window.
The bright flame instantly passed through the holographic window and shone into the bridge. Yeta grabbed the long chair in front of her and looked up at the blazing fire that illuminated everything around her. With a smile on her face, she looked at the Atmospheric clouds flew quickly around her, and Vito, who was above her behind her, also looked at the burning fire layer.
The blazing fire disappeared in a sudden moment, and a sky full of stars appeared outside the blazing fire. Old Barbossa pulled the handle that was pressed down, and the auxiliary jet port at the end of the battleship instantly turned again, turning on the heavy transformation base. Driven by the force, the vector nozzle instantly sprayed backwards, and the battleship returned to its horizontal posture under the strong driving force.
Yeta raised her head. She looked at the starry sky outside the window above her head. Her face showed the most pleasant smile for the first time in her life. Vito also smiled when he looked at her. Reina next to him leaned closer. Coming up, holding on to the armrest and leaning aside, Vito asked, "Where are we going now?"
Vito laughed for a while. He turned around and walked towards the silver throne behind him. Lilith, who was sitting on it, jumped up very consciously. She turned around and sat down on the armrest. She looked at him and turned around to sit down. Vito sat on the throne with his legs folded in front of him.
"go home."
