Anna spoke with such confidence that many members of parliament looked at each other in bewilderment.

The planetary governor also showed a hint of interest.

"Then I want to see what good ideas you have?"

Anna smiled and said, "Leave this to me. I guarantee that within a week, those damn bugs will start a rebellion. And they will be considered absolute heretics by the State Church and the Inquisition."

"You can tell us your ideas. We will consider what we think." A congressman said coldly.

"This plan can only be implemented by me. If you do it, it will only make the situation worse."

Anna looked at the congressman.

"If you are unwilling to let me do it, then I can only say sorry."

"You want power?" said the Governor.

"This world is very dangerous, and I don't want to be eaten to the bone. I will do for you what you can't do. If I fail to make those low-level bugs rebel within a week, I lose, and all my wealth will be at your disposal."

“If I succeed, I hope to have a seat here.

Anna looked towards the Planetary Governor.

Her tone was extremely crazy, and she was willing to use her entire fortune to fight for a seat in parliament.

In the hall, upon hearing Anna's words, many members of parliament started talking.

They all looked at Anna as if she were a madman.

In their opinion, the woman was crazy.

How foolish it is to risk your comfortable life for the rest of your life to fight for a seat in parliament.

"Okay. Just as you said, I will sign the action order for you." The planetary governor stood up and looked around at the many council members. "If any of you have any objections, you can raise them now, as long as the solution you provide is better than hers."

The planetary governor's words caused many councillors to look at each other.

They had no better solution.

The same goes for those congressmen who hate Anna.

"You have been given power, but you only have it for a week, and I don't like to see you fail," said the Planetary Governor.

"No, Governor, I have it all planned out."

Anna smiled.

She already had a plan.

There is a very good saying from ancient and holy Terra.

Be greedy when others are fearful.

There are huge opportunities hidden in crises.

The emergence of Genestealers is definitely a terrible crisis for Vitria.

But this may be her key opportunity to enter the imperial political arena.

Anna looked at the many congressmen, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This is just the beginning.

She will climb up little by little, step by step, to the top.

Become a being that everyone fears and admires.

Anna is a descendant of a noble family, of course this is just the official statement.

Actually she is not.

She is just a descendant of a commoner.

The noble lady gave birth to a mutant in order to protect the family's reputation.

The nobles had no choice but to exchange the children to prove that there was no problem with their family.

In the empire, it doesn't matter how corrupt the bureaucracy is.

Humans have always been the main theme, and mutants and aliens are absolutely hated.

Once a mutant appears in a family, it is likely to attract the attention of the State Church and the Inquisition.

For a family, the emergence of mutant offspring is definitely a terrible crisis.

It means that the family bloodline has been polluted.

If you are manipulated by hostile forces, you may even be deprived of everything.

The purity of human bloodline is an issue that every noble family must pay attention to.

It was because of this that Anna replaced the mutant child and became the child of the nobles.

However, the nobles did not like Anna, especially after they had a new child, they became more and more disgusted with Anna.

Anna also learned the whole story from an accident.

There was no deep meaning behind her parents' discrimination against her, it was simply that she was not their child.

In order to conceal the fact that their family's descendants had mutated, the nobles also killed Anna's biological parents.

After learning the truth, Anna could no longer tolerate the discrimination and abuse from her adoptive parents.

She planned to kill the other person and his biological child.

It was natural for him to inherit everything from that noble family.

She used some tricks to find her current husband and climbed up the ladder step by step.

After confirming that her husband no longer loved her, Anna decisively killed him.

He killed the mistress by the way and sent someone to kill her child.

That's why she entrusted Shur to find her daughter.

That daughter is actually the mistress's daughter.

Anna admitted that she was a vicious woman who would do anything to get ahead.

But in this chaotic, hopeless universe, viciousness is not a crime but a virtue.

Anna's wish is to climb to the highest position one day.

Make those who once thought she was lowly no longer able to reach her.

Vitria was her springboard, not her destination.

One day, a new star will rise and become one of the most powerful people in the empire.

… ... ... ... ... ... ..

The cold, eternal dark void.

Tyranid's hive fleet is drifting forward with the help of the superluminal channel constructed by the cosmic gravitational field.

If one looks at it from the perspective of the vast universe, one would be surprised to find that the hive fleet seemed to have never moved.

After all, the distance between the stars is too long.

Even if flying at the speed of light, it would take years or even decades to cross this long distance.

It is undoubtedly stupid to measure the distance between two stars using kilometers, the unit that humans can best understand.

That would be an unimaginable series of numbers.

Standing on the scale of the universe.

Tyranid fleets require long-term observation to see that they are moving.

The huge biological mothership, like a celestial body, glides in the cosmic force field with the help of superluminal inertia.

Most areas of the biological mothership have fallen into sleep, and only a small number of tentacles are still active, monitoring the surrounding environment for the mother body.

Inside the mothership, most of the Zerg have fallen asleep.

Sleep ensures that they can traverse the vast distances between the stars with minimal effort.

When approaching food, the mothership will wake up, waking up a large number of war units and devouring everything in sight.

Next to the mothership, there are a large number of biological ships, which are also sleeping.

Only a few were awake.

They use bio-energy to break away from the main fleet and sail to different star worlds, becoming the vanguard of the Tyranids and detecting the surrounding environment for the large force.

Allow the Great Devourer to better determine the order of devouring.

Some spore clouds are also slowly dispersing under the influence of cosmic winds, and are spread all over the galaxy like seeds.

The last world the Tyranids passed through was an agricultural world.

They devour everything above them.

Including 35 billion humans and everything on that planet.

All life has been transformed by the Tyranids into the simplest genetic material and stored in vast hive fleets.

These genetic materials will turn into more monsters, more killing machines.

Now, they are still sleeping, waiting for the feast to come.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

Macragge's Glory.

After successfully dealing with the orc warlord Arsonist, a grand banquet was held.

This Glorious Queen-class battleship has once again returned to war status.

In today's galaxy, war is the only main theme.

Chapter servants came and went among the warships.

They perform the day-to-day maintenance of the Chapter's weapons and armor.

Mechanical priests and technical experts repair and inspect the warriors' power armor.

They need to complete this task before the next war comes.

Crew members, officers, and department heads process and monitor the ship's information on a daily basis.

Make sure it is always at its peak.

Able to rush into the battlefield with the most ferocious attitude and tear apart all human enemies.

The tall strategic room vibrated and hummed.

The thick cables winding across the ceiling surge with energy.

The meter was spinning frantically.

There was the thumping sound of heavy machinery beneath the floorboards.

A huge metal projection unfolded across the entire strategic room, shrouding the entire room in a faint glow.

Guilliman sat in his seat, listening to the reports from Calgar and other Imperial heroes.

The threat of the orcs has been eliminated, but the Charadon star region has not yet been completely peaceful.

The Necrons and the upcoming Tyranids are both heavyweight tests that the Charadon sector will soon face.

"The Mechanical Priests are repairing the Heavenly Punishment Colossus. When it entered the Gorod System, it encountered the pull of the star's gravity, causing part of the gravity device to fail. It was pulled by the star's gravity and suffered varying degrees of failure. It cannot be put into use in the short term."

Karga spoke first.

He said the situation was not very good.

The Colossus of Sky Punishment is the strongest trump card of the Imperial Navy today.

It only fired one shot from start to finish before it was put under urgent repair.

It's a bit lame.

But it's normal if you think about it.

After all, it is a giant structure assembled in an emergency, so it is normal for problems to arise.

The God Punishment Colossus can be put into use so quickly.

First: Guilliman and Cawl had already drawn up a complete design.

There are no technical difficulties, just follow the drawings to construct.

Second: Thanks to the sophisticated craftsmanship of each foundry world, the performance of the parts produced by these foundry worlds are all up to standard.

Only in this way can we ensure that the Colossus of Sky Punishment can be built quickly and play its role.

If any part fails, it will probably explode.

Although the Mechanicus has lost its ambition to forge ahead, their obsession with mechanical souls has made them obsessive in the field of mechanical quality.

Mistakes and deviations are unimaginable humiliations for them.

To accuse a mechanical priest of his mistakes is the most vicious curse he can throw at him.

It is precisely because of the many high-quality parts provided by the Forge World that the Sky Punishment Colossus was able to be assembled at the fastest speed.

"It doesn't matter. It's just an experimental product. All we need to do is collect the relevant data." Guilliman didn't care too much about the problems with the Colossus of Punishment.

As for Pinxixi’s approach, don’t be too demanding on quality.

Anyway, these cheap things can be made even if they are not available, so what is there to be afraid of

What matters is quantity.

Even if we can't fire, we have to use numbers to kill the enemy.

Once the war starts, no matter whether we can use them or not, we have to make up the numbers to have hundreds of times more than the enemy.

Create a giant structure like the Colossus of Sky Punishment.

The most important thing is not to harvest these structures, but to increase industrial productivity.

When it comes to technology, the most difficult thing is just the technique.

Once the technology matures and the industrial assembly line is formed, building warships will be as easy as making dumplings.

It goes down so quickly, as if it's free.

With industrial capacity improved and operations maximized, you can just close your eyes and attack.

What matters is to break all laws with one force.

Guilliman had no intention of taking a high-tech approach to the Imperial Navy.

Chaos corrupts people for no reason.

It is obviously not appropriate to take the high-tech and sophisticated approach.

The Imperial Navy needs more ships and more guns.

Even if you have to use a boat to attack your opponent, you have to defeat him.

Guilliman even thought about hollowing out asteroids and meteorites.

Install engines, reactors, cannons, and shields inside and use it as a battleship.

If the enemy takes one ship, we will take a hundred ships and pile them up to kill them.

What we want is cheap and durable.

In today's space naval battles, the most important thing is to increase firepower.

Only if the firepower is fierce enough will there be a chance to overload the enemy's shield.

The shield was overloaded. No matter how strong the enemy's ship was, it could not withstand two rounds of artillery bombardment.

In today's void naval battles, different races have their own energy shield technology.

The Empire commonly uses void shields, a magical shield that can deflect attacks into the warp.

As long as the enemy's attacks do not overload the void shield, the attacks will be diverted into the warp.

It can be said that the defensive power of the void shield is much stronger than that of a ship.

In the most brutal defense of Terra the Empire had ever experienced, the Emperor's palace relied on the Aegis to withstand the bombardment of tens of thousands of warships.

According to the historical records left behind at that time, we can get a glimpse of how terrifying that earth-shaking offensive and defensive battle was.

With the help of the gods of the Warp and a huge sacrificial ceremony, the traitor ships led by Horus ignored the gravity of the stars and appeared directly in the inner solar system.

The Phalanx was forced to withdraw, resulting in a situation where Horus surrounded Terra, and the Solar System Fleet surrounded Horus.

Horus' fleet filled all the orbits of Terra.

Countless artillery and rays of light fell at every moment, bombarding the palace day and night.

But thanks to the defense system built by SHIELD, the palace was able to withstand this terrible bombardment.

It began with the Siege of Terra and lasted until the defeat of Horus.

It is conceivable how powerful SHIELD is.

If there hadn't been any SHIELD, the palace would have disappeared without a trace during the first day of bombing.

In today's naval battles, unless high-density materials like neutron stars are used.

Otherwise, there is not much difference between using steel and stone for the hull.

Once the void shield is overloaded, no matter what material the warship is made of, it will inevitably die.

The plasma launcher equipped on the battleship is as big as a 300-meter-high building.

One shot and everything will melt.

In the face of anti-sniper rockets, is it meaningful to discuss which style of bulletproof vest to use?

Navigation in space is really not as complicated as people imagine.

There was once a science fiction novel that described such a scene.

A group of refugees used ice to build a starship, used it to escape from prison, and established a new country.

Although it is science fiction, it does make sense.

It is not impossible to build a starship using ice.

The universe is frictionless.

In other words, once the acceleration is completed, the battleship will move at that inertial speed, and there will be no such thing as being torn apart due to being unable to withstand high-speed flight.

The earth is rotating at a high speed every day, but no one on it has been seen flying out.

Supergravity only occurs when the warship accelerates.

Once the acceleration is completed and inertial movement begins, the supergravity disappears.

It is impossible for the hull to collapse during inertial flight.

The forces acting on every part of the hull are balanced, so how could it possibly disintegrate?

Some things seem ridiculous, but when you peel off the truth, you will find that the absurdity is precisely the subtlety of the operation of the universe.

The orcs' warships were pieced together from here and there, and some of them even relied on burning coal to rush into space.

This naturally relied on the help of the power of WAAAGH.

However, the orcs' own technology should not be underestimated.

Those places that seem ridiculous are actually just the result of the human empire's lack of understanding of the direction of its technological development.

General nuclear fusion reactions use light elements such as hydrogen and helium.

These elements are also the most abundant in stars.

The other elements are basically light elements that form second-class elements after being exposed to high heat and high pressure environment.

Elements such as iron and gold have experienced multiple star destructions and births, and were subsequently born under high pressure and high temperature conditions.

If the Orcs' technology tree lit up heavy element nuclear fusion, then it would be extremely normal for their warships to burn coal.

Carbon is not a metallic element, so it is not as difficult to fuse as metal elements, but the energy released far exceeds that of light elements.

The principle of fusion is to use high temperature and high pressure to make atoms fuse into a new atom, and the lost mass will be converted into energy.

The more mass lost, the more energy released.

The number of electrons in metal atoms is basically stable, and metal atom fusion is rarely used except when special materials are needed.

Basically, the cost outweighs the gain.

When the orcs burn coal, they actually use the carbon element in it to cause a fusion reaction, thereby obtaining energy to propel their warships.

WAAAGH can assist orcs in erasing the distorted laws of physics and help them ignore some technical details.

As long as the general structure is good, it can be used.

But this cannot deny the advanced technology of the orcs.

Some things are ridiculous, but the universe operates according to these ridiculous principles.

Just because you think something is ridiculous, you can’t think the other person is fake.

What we think is normal is just what we think.

In the interstellar age, not everything looks high-end and sci-fi.

Interstellar battlefields pursue practicality rather than science fiction.

Inlay some circuits on some glass to create various gorgeous patterns and build a sense of technology.

It does look very grand, but what's the use of it?

Is there anything else you can do besides doing some face-saving projects

Such a tall and majestic thing can't even stop a bullet.

Guilliman doesn't have the problem of formalism, he just wants practicality.

“Any further news?” Guilliman asked.

We have collected some information about the Undead Dynasty. According to our investigation, there are two Undead Dynasties located around the Charadon Sector. One is called the Sotai Dynasty, which awakened 1,000 years ago, and the other is called the Sakken Dynasty, which awakened 1,500 years ago. "

"After the Sarken Dynasty awakened, it launched attacks on multiple imperial worlds, causing heavy casualties. After that, they attempted to attack Obelias but failed, and fell into a brief period of silence."

"It was not until the Sotai Dynasty revived that they resumed their activities. However, their target now is no longer the Empire, but the Sotai Dynasty. The Saken Dynasty seems to want to control the Sotai Dynasty, so conflicts have been breaking out between the two sides."

"The Empire has never intervened, but has allowed the two undead forces to continue fighting, allowing them to consume each other."

The head of intelligence opened the information interface and briefed Guilliman on another threat in the Charadon sector - the Undead.

Guilliman tapped on his desk, listening to the information given by his chief of intelligence, and thinking about how to deal with the threat of the Necrons.

The Undead are a race that have fought against the Ancients.

What’s even more terrifying is that they have also stabbed the Star God in the back.

The only race in the galaxy with a confirmed history of killing gods.

The most fatal point is that they have mastered the most advanced technology in the galaxy.

Those technologies were given to them by the Star God and are extremely powerful.

With the help of the Star God, they mastered a lot of mysterious knowledge such as time, space, and dimension.

It has reached a level where technology is almost divine.

Fighting the Undead is no easy task.

The uncrowned king of the Necrons, head of the Triarchy, the Silent King has returned from beyond the galaxy.

Once Guilliman destroys those Undead dynasties, it will inevitably prompt the Uncrowned King to speed up the pace of awakening the many Undead dynasties.

At that time, Guilliman might be facing a fully armed dynasty of undeads.

That is definitely a terrible nightmare that no civilization wants to face.

Even if the Undead have been sleeping for 60 million years.

But their technological strength is still the strongest.

This is undeniable.

They possess all kinds of incredible technological creations.

It can easily create black holes, annihilate stars, and reverse time.

Of course, they would not use these terrible weapons casually.

After all, if they disrupt the celestial bodies and time in the galaxy, they will also suffer greatly.

But once a brutal war breaks out and both sides become bloodthirsty, it will be difficult to ensure that the undead will not go to extremes.

In order to kill the ancient saints, they directly sold their flesh, blood and souls to the Star God.

God knows what terrible things they will do to kill humans.

You must be fully prepared to go to war with the Undead.

Guilliman tapped the tabletop, brow furrowed, comparing the power between the Imperium of Man and the Necrons in his mind.

Once the war breaks out, he will definitely destroy the two Undead dynasties with great force.

But that would mean that an all-out war might break out between the Human Empire and the Undead.

After all, his identity is here.

It represents the entire human race, the entire empire.

As the head of the Three Holy Council, it was impossible for the Silent King not to react.

"Sir, what is our next plan?"

After the intelligence chief finished his introduction, Calgar looked at the Primarch and asked in confusion.
