Chapter 1043: Technological Prophet
…
Orps sector.
Human fleet.
After taking a few minutes to rest, Ryan hurriedly walked into the bridge and came to the tactical table assigned to him. He nervously stared at the rear of each battle zone on the front line.
Barron's Galaxy.
One day ago, the Insight Engine scanned abnormal energy fluctuations on Barron 1.
Just for the Necron to open a dimensional rift, this act involves many fields of technology, and the energy required to open a tiny portal is also staggering.
The abnormal energy fluctuations are not enough for the insight engine to determine that the enemy has opened an entrance and exit behind the battle line, because humans are also using dimensional technology.
The three undead targets that appeared after scanning abnormal energy fluctuations made it a certainty that the enemy would open a dimensional entrance and exit on the Barron 1.
As for now.
The Insight Engine scanned a large number of Necrons on Barron 1, and the Matter Engine had begun to block the dimensional entrances and exits, but as always, the enemy used multiple dimensions to deploy its troops.
"Imotek is an amazing opponent."
At the tactical table next door, Gray, Adam and Qin Mo were discussing the sudden appearance of enemies on Barron 1.
"This was an oversight on my part as the Admiral of the Navy. I mistakenly issued the order for the Insight Engine to use the detection wave as a weapon, which caused Imotek to seize the opportunity when the Insight Engine briefly shut down the large-scale scan on the Barron 1. Deploy dimensional entrances and exits.”
"It is indeed an oversight, but it is not irreparable. The defense line established by the Inquisitors on Barron 1 helped us temporarily block the invasion. I need you to organize manpower to defend Barron 1 immediately."
"..."
After Qin Mo gave the order to Adam, Ryan stared at Barron 1 in silence.
When the Insight Engine scanned the enemy's appearance behind the front lines a day ago, the Tyrone intelligence department immediately launched an investigation.
The investigation revealed that there was indeed an enemy leading to Barron 1, which was the same as the judgment of the main control intelligence inside the Insight Engine.
Secondly, the situation is not urgent, because two Inquisitors have already deployed defenses on Barron One.
The army composed of civilians and PDFs cannot push back the invading undead, but they can at least hold on for a while, preventing Barron 1 and even the entire Barron system from falling too quickly, leaving time for the army to support them.
Ryan's brain repeated the information he knew over and over again, and then his eyes lit up and his expression became heavier.
"No, that's not right."
The imperial war commander suddenly spoke, interrupting the discussion between Qin Mo and others at the tactical table next door.
"I don't think Imotek took advantage of the Insight Engine's mistake in using the detection wave as a weapon when we were engaged in the Void War, and arranged such a plan to attack Barron 1."
"In my opinion, it seems that it has known it for a long time and has made preparations for a long time... I can't tell what the basis for my judgment is, but I just think that Imotek may have such strategic command ability, but It shouldn't react that quickly."
While explaining his thoughts, Ryan looked at the huge insight engine outside the porthole: "How much time has passed from the directional release of the insight engine's detection wave to the restart of large-scale omnidirectional scanning?"
"Did you judge this based on your intuition?" Qin Mo asked.
"Yes, it's intuition." Ryan didn't shy away from it. "I know you Tyrone people prefer to talk about evidence, but there are some things that can't be provided with tangible evidence. I think so based on intuition, and I think my intuition is correct."
"It's not impossible." Qin Mo nodded and paced in the bridge, "The Tailong intelligence department's judgment on Imotek's strategy is not only that it is too powerful, but also another one that they think is possible. , that is, someone went back to the past time to remind or help Imotek.”
"The timeline when we were engaged in the Void War was not smooth and fixed. The Star Gods were aware of this, but this does not mean that someone must have gone back to the past and changed something, because during the war we and the enemy fought The duel on the laws of space and physics will also affect the timeline to a greater or lesser extent."
"I personally think Imotek has a way of exploiting the mistakes we make in the blink of an eye, but one thing is crucial."
Qin Mo stopped.
"When the Celestial Engine was still synonymous with artificial planets, the responsibility for detection was borne by a satellite, namely Tianwei. If Khorne hadn't struck down the Celestial Engine with an ax and paralyzed it, the battle for the Celestial Engine would have been impossible to fight. , because the scanning waves released by the detection array can instantly evaporate the Black Legion's landing force."
"The Insight Engine is much more powerful than Tianwei. The directional scanning waves it releases are concentrated in a small area. There will be communication silence in this area, that is, communication is completely suspended. Even those skeletons can't do anything. Avoid. If no one goes back to the past time to help Imotek, it is impossible to use the short-term insight engine to plan a strategic operation without conducting a large-scale scan. "
After listening to Qin Mo's long speech, Ryan thought for a while and said, "Then you also said that someone disrupting the timeline is a possible guess?"
"Of course it's a possible guess, because we can't rule out that the enemy may have communication methods that ignore all physical rules." Qin Mo replied.
"If the truth is that someone went back in time to help Imotek." Ryan said thoughtfully, "Who could this person be?"
Qin Mo said a name without hesitation: "Orekan."
Lian had read Orrekan's information.
This is an extremely powerful astrologer. In the culture of the Necrons, astrologers are prophets, but they use technology instead of psychic means to predict.
During the Battle of Talon, Orrekan appeared with Trazyn, and then they were beheaded by the Coron Overlord who attacked the star zone at that time.
Orekan is not strong in force.
In addition, this guy has another characteristic-it is the craziest among the Necrons in a certain sense.
Necrons are extremely complicated.
Some people hate all flesh and blood creatures, some people play the role of the Necron, some people have accepted the reality of their metal bodies and souls being destroyed and concentrate on internal fighting, and some people are very interested in everything about other races...
But Orrekan is different.
It wants to ascend to become a god in the material world.
"In fact, at many time points in the past and future, Tyrone's specially formed anti-time and space interference response force and the time order of the Inquisition have fought many battles with the enemy in the past and future." Qin Mo leaned over the tactical table and looked at an hourglass-shaped army logo on it. "They are now looking for traces of time interference at the time point of the void war. If they find it, they will defeat Orikan who interfered with time at that time point, provided that Orikan really interfered. Moreover, Orikan can be found by tracing back the time traces."
Lian felt a little headache after hearing this.
He originally thought that even if there were still enemies in the real universe after the Golden Expedition, it would be easy to solve.
But the facts were unexpected.
This war is no longer as simple as the two races fighting each other in the real universe.
It has even reached other dimensions and spaces, past and future timelines and many other levels.
In the propaganda of the state religion, this war is a bloody war between human warriors and aliens who went out in the heroic tears of the emperor and fought among the stars. Ryan has never wanted to excuse the propagandists of the state religion as much as he does now, because this war is difficult for mortals to understand.
