Chapter 45 Dark Eldar Invasion
The engineering ship is specially used to build various space projects. In addition to basic structures such as engines, it also has two functional modules: parts and puppet modules.
The parts module stores parts produced in the planetary hive, and the puppet module stores puppets, which replace AI robots and serve as construction labor.
The engineering ship arrived at the target location and put down an oversized platform base with countless puppets on it.
The puppet took out the parts from the engineering ship and began to assemble them on the base. Over time, this base will grow into a star base.
Star bases break away from the constraints of planetary gravity and can build larger objects, such as cruisers, battlecruisers, or battleships...
Until then, Said could only build light cruisers.
However, Said was not idle either. In the planetary orbital dock, a new light cruiser fleet began to be built. Each light cruiser fleet contains four light cruisers.
They are the Macrogun class, the Light Spear class, the Mothership class, and the Dreadnought class. When completed, Said will have two light cruiser fleets.
If the stellar base is completed by then, we will continue to launch larger warships and form a more powerful battle group.
At the same time, the scientific research fleet was divided into seven groups to explore other planets.
The result surprised Said. Each one has massive resources and can meet all the needs of industrial development. It has no shortcomings and is enough to be used for a long time.
The only fly in the ointment is that these planets are not habitable, and only industrial blocks and military blocks can be built. There are also aliens on two planets.
But Said didn't care, because the current population was only over one billion, far from saturation. As for the aliens, they were just a group of Stone Age natives.
Their genes have traces of humans, and they are probably the same as the Ash Herdsmen, mutations produced by the survivors of the Golden Age in order to adapt to the environment.
However, regardless of the origin, Said did not intend to delve into it. After microscopic scanning and positioning, Said dispatched a fleet of law enforcers and launched a precision orbital bombing.
After the smoke, 90% of the aliens on the surface were wiped out, and then ten thousand giant soldiers were sent out to eliminate any fish that slipped through the net with loyal explosive bombs and chain swords.
Since it was a purely biological mutation and no signs of Chaos contamination were found, Said gave up using the Extermination Order after consulting Brother Huang.
According to estimates, the extinction order will reduce the planet's resources by at least 10%. Although 10% may not seem like much, but when put on an entire planet, it is an astronomical figure.
Although the extermination order was not used, Said was still extremely cautious. After killing the giant god soldiers once, he once again invested 200 million Krieg puppets.
Vast numbers of Kriegs spread all over the equator, and countless Lemanus tanks, Warlord Titans, and Valkyrie bombers landed on the surface along with the module warehouses, equipped with Krieg puppets.
Positions were constructed, and hundreds of millions of troops advanced from the equator to the poles. The battle line continued to shorten, and the density of troops continued to increase. Many Krieg puppets stayed behind to clear out the garrison.
It is almost impossible to miss a microscopic scan. Even an alien fertilized egg will be found based on its genetic sequence and die from orbital bombing and precision strikes by Titan soldiers. Therefore, Krieger is more like an armed march.
The few opportunities for fighting were attacks by wild animals on the planet, and Krieger suffered almost no casualties during the entire process.
However, Said was not doing it in vain. He was rehearsing the entire attack steps and testing the coordination of multiple services.
In later empires, due to the need for checks and balances, the naval fleet and the Astra Militarum usually fought independently. When the Astra Militarum pushed the battle line, air support was always absent.
This is because after the Horus Heresy, in order to avoid another rebellion, the military services were split to prevent any army from being able to fight independently.
Said's Gestalt consciousness does not have this problem, and his ability to exchange information and coordinate arms has reached its peak. Whether it is the fleet Titan Soldier or Krieg, he can command it like an arm.
However, this exercise also exposed many problems, such as landing site selection, airport construction, position setting in complex terrain, etc., which were completely different from what Said had learned in the past.
His military knowledge comes from the golden age. It may be useful to rely on AI, but now that AI cannot be used, the situation is bound to change, and true knowledge must be practiced again.
As a result, Said held large-scale and multi-arms coordinated combat drills on all planets to strengthen the military's combat capabilities in complex environments.
During the military exercise, the development of the planet did not stop. Each planet established a military area and industrial area. Soldiers and nest cities sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Most of these initial blocks are built around space elevators to receive various resources and machines from the main star.
Infrastructure, industry, and military are booming, and the Inuit star system has entered a new era of major construction.
A few months later, the first phase of construction of the stellar base was completed. It was the size of several battleships, with countless macro cannons, light lances, missile silos and carrier-based aircraft platforms densely distributed on it.
The fortress does not need to be moved, and does not need to consider the influence of gravity. It can be built larger than a battleship, carry more weapons, and create stronger defense facilities.
There are 30,000 Titan soldiers and 200 million Krieg puppets stationed on it. Microscopic scanners monitor every place, and they are basically armed to the teeth.
The first phase of the construction target is the space fortress. After the weapons are fully equipped, various supporting facilities will be constructed in the second phase.
For example, giant shipyards, stellar defense command rooms, subspace observation arrays, communication centers, etc.
When completed, Said will have the ability to build larger battleships. Before that, the second light cruiser fleet was completed first.
Said named them: Second Light Cruiser Squadron!
"I order the first light patrol team to guard the main star, and the second light patrol team to perform patrol missions!"
The galaxy is not safe. Who knows that a pirate fleet passed by that day and got interested in plundering the Inuit.
Although it does not happen often, even once in a hundred years, Inuit is the land of Said Longxing, and it is not something to be careless about.
As the days passed, the stellar colonization project progressed steadily. Within the initial block, the industrial hive continued to grow, and its production capacity continued to increase, and was about to reach its limit.
This means opening up new areas and expanding industrial capacity.
If nothing unexpected happens, within ten years, the Inuit will develop to the limit, and then form a huge fleet to launch an expedition to nearby galaxies.
However, if nothing unexpected happens, an accident will come soon. One day, in the wolf's den, Said suddenly trembles and looks surprised.
Just now, a satellite of Inuit 8 crashed, followed by a violent explosion on the orbital platform, and a large number of puppets that were working in an orderly manner were blown away.
Just when Said was surprised, a large number of slender warriors wearing black armor and two meters tall suddenly appeared on the platform. They wielded sharp blades and killed the unarmed worker puppets!
Watching their movements, Said felt a sense of familiarity. When they took out a black rifle, he blurted out:
"That's a poison crystal rifle...damn it! It's a black bean sprout!"
The Dark Eldar invaded Inuit 8. The orbital platform defenders were caught off guard and were massacred by the flashing Eldar, and the orbital platform was lost.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of strange-looking vehicles rushed into the atmosphere and bombarded the surface hives...
