"How could we encounter PDF (Planetary Defense Force) here? Has Midnes fallen?"

"The situation is not optimistic, sir. Our original base has been breached by those heretics. This disaster happened too suddenly, and no one was prepared."

Jiang Bing wasn't trying to hold anyone accountable, but rather to establish a preconceived notion about the other party based on this.

The intensity of war in the Warhammer world is too great, with wars often reaching the scale of planets and galaxies.

With only the troops under Jiang Bing's command, it would be difficult to even recover the lower levels of the city. The wisest course of action would undoubtedly be to "learn from the barbarians' superior techniques to control them."

The Empire has no shortage of troops, and these troops could also be used by [Anti-Entropy].

After all, when an apostle looks like Astartes, fights like Astartes, acts like Astartes, and has the same fighting strength as Astartes, then he is undoubtedly Astartes.

Similarly, Jiang Bing claims to be a member of the Empire, and he looks like one, feels like one, and does like one. Who can say he isn't?

As for the name of the battle group "Anti-Entropy", why haven't I heard of it?

Excuse me, but this is a special imperial order, a voluntary act, a secret mission, do you understand?

You don't believe me!

If you don't believe me, send a letter to Holy Terra to confirm. Given the current situation, let's find the Star Speaker first.

Furthermore, even if Holy Terra were to find out, given the current administrative efficiency of the Human Empire, the time required for communication, verification, sending people to confirm, and review would likely be at least ten years.

Even this was only because of the God Emperor's influence, and the progress was expedited.

As for their identities being exposed, the empire eventually sent troops to suppress them.

Jiang Bing said that whether or not they can find them is one thing, but whether or not they can be defeated is another matter entirely.

Therefore, he adhered to the principle that "when you're out in the world, you have to give yourself an identity," and transformed himself into an unknown imperial warband.

As for whether the people on the planet believe it or not, let's put it this way: as long as their fists are big enough, even if Jiang Bing claims to be the reincarnation of the Empire's Prime Minister Makado, these people will have to believe it.

"These demons have indeed been plotting for a long time."

"What are the latest instructions from the planetary governor before you are separated from the main force?"

Commissar Fakla immediately looked troubled. "Sir, since the catastrophe began, the defense forces have not received any instructions from the governor."

'The person is probably dead.'

Jiang Bing was not surprised at all by the other party's answer.

After all, since Tzeentch had meticulously planned such a grand scheme, there was no reason why he wouldn't do it perfectly.

Corruption is not a difficult task for them to deal with the top leadership of an industrial planet.

"Very good," Jiang Bing said, having obtained the information he wanted.

"Political Commissar Fakla?"

"Yes, sir."

Jiang Bing stood up from his chair and examined the first wave of local troops that the [Anti-Entropy] group had encountered.

Almost all of them were injured, and their protective suits were not very good, even inferior to those of the Astral Army, who were known as the "thread-filling babies."

The leaders of the Astral Army at least have some kind of bulletproof armor, but their protective suits are pitifully rudimentary, and their defense can only barely withstand some homemade bullets.

The weapons were also only passable, with outdated M35 "Galaxy" and M36 "Carterell" laser guns mixed with a few explosive weapons, making their firepower level only comparable to that of a ground 'regular army'.

As for individual soldier quality, since the best soldiers were handed over to the Empire as 'tips' and became the Star Guardians wandering the stars, those left on the planets were undoubtedly the second-best soldiers.

Of course, even so, these soldiers, whose physical qualities have been optimized through countless genetic modifications, are generally superior to those of 'ordinary people' in the cyberpunk world.

Using "Captain America" ​​to describe them is a bit of an exaggeration; saying that everyone is a mini-Rambo is not an overstatement.

Their combat strength was actually not weak, but unfortunately the enemy was too abnormal.

Warp demons are all incredibly powerful beings on their own, not to mention they possess tens or hundreds of billions of 'hostages'.

"Can you still fight for the Emperor?" Jiang Bing asked, shielding the nearby subspace beforehand to prevent the Emperor from drawing his attention with their fanatical faith.

Currently, the five Warp Stars haven't paid much attention to this remote, outlying region in a remote star sector.

The fall of a single planet is not enough to attract their attention.

Of course, this only applies up to the present.

Jiang Bing couldn't guarantee when their attention would be drawn to the next series of major actions.

"For the Emperor, we will fight to the last moment, sir!" The political commissar's face flushed red, as if he felt his faith being questioned.

“Very good.” Jiang Bing waved his hand and beckoned over an Felyne in charge of logistics, instructing, “You have three standard hours to rest. At the same time, you will receive corresponding supplies. After three standard hours, you will act as guides to assist us in the counterattack on Zhongchao.”

"For the Emperor, I await your sacred command!"

With mixed feelings, Fakla ended the audience and followed the beast-like demi-humans he had never seen before to the rest camp assigned to them.

"Boss, I think the key to counterattacking the Nest is to first capture facilities that may store data and knowledge. We don't know much about this planet or the massive Nest. To win this battle, our warriors need a lot of intelligence support." Eagle continued to express his views on the upcoming battle.

Chapter 954 A Perfect Closed Loop Belongs to...

This is undoubtedly a difficult problem, given the potential for knowledge to be 'toxic,' facilities like public libraries simply do not exist.

The Administrative Archives and the Navigator's Temple do contain administrative star maps of the entire Hive City world and even the entire galaxy, as well as census data, tax records, legal texts, planetary history, and officially recognized, relatively "clean" Hive City main passages, pillar structures, official elevator routes, and other confidential data. However, they are generally located in Upper Hive, usually adjacent to the planetary governor's palace or the highest administrative body.

But once the fighting reaches this point, the outcome of the war is usually clear.

Fortunately, the database of the former mechanical priest 'Fabricator-Unit-ξ' provided Jiang Bing, who was also unfamiliar with the area, with a good starting point.

The holographic projection changed rapidly, quickly displaying a rough thumbnail of the middle layer of the hive city.

"Our target is here," Jiang Bing said, pointing to a spot.

"Industrial Zone 137, this is the location of the temple of the Cult of Mechanism."

If you were to ask where in Hive City the geological data related to the entire planet is located, and where Hive City's design and architecture are located, the Mechanicus would be the first to be considered.

First, the nature of the Mechanicus dictates that this is absolutely the most complete and accurate knowledge base in terms of the technology of the hive.

Secondly, given the Mechanicus's tendency to hoard information, this place must be extremely well-protected, making it very difficult for outsiders to access. Even high-ranking nobles would normally have to pay a huge price or use personal connections to obtain specific information.

In addition, given that the Mechanicus Cult possesses the most abundant weaponry on the entire planet, a highly skilled army of protectors, and all sorts of strange and powerful weapons hidden in their crotches, Jiang Bing could conclude that this place was undoubtedly the toughest nut for the demons to crack.

There is a high probability that this area has not yet fallen.

“Here are 150 men, Flying Eagle. Bring our best equipment and beacons, and carve a path through this turbid soup.”

"Understood, Boss, but with so many troops being diverted, what about the base's security..."

I will stay here.

Jiang Bing's words silenced Fei Ying's doubts.

"Remember to bring the beacon."

Jiang Bing's consciousness was absorbed into 'Heiml'.

The 'Eternal Sundial Workshop' branch is operating at full capacity in the 'AI field,' manipulating complex nano-production lines to produce next-generation power armor and other military equipment at breakneck speed.

For Jiang Bing, the Warhammer world was a treasure trove.

Although the human empire has declined, it still possesses considerable wealth.

Take materials science, for example, which is the cornerstone of all industry.

Ceramic steel is a very strong ceramic-steel composite that combines the hardness and lightweight properties of ceramics with the toughness of steel.

Abrasive gold, an extremely rare and expensive ultra-dense metal alloy, is far stronger than ceramic steel and is virtually indestructible.

Plastic steel, a sturdy material that is easy to shape, can be injected into a mold in a liquid state and then molded in one piece for mass production. Although its protective capabilities are slightly inferior to ceramic steel, it is much lighter in weight.

Of course, a significant portion of these materials cannot be fully synthesized artificially. For example, adamantite, once known as Adamantium, is a unique substance in the Warhammer universe.

Both mining and forging it require special techniques, which are usually only mastered by the Mechanicus.

However, the 'craftsman's' unreasonableness was once again demonstrated. As long as he obtained the relevant 'blueprints,' these raw materials were not mined by Jiang Bing, but were directly obtained by him using 'ether'.

Scrap metal for refined gold, oil buddy!

Based on this alone, it's not an exaggeration for those tech enthusiasts to worship him as Om Messiah.

These materials were superior to most of the raw materials Jiang Bing had on hand, so the moment they obtained the relevant 'blueprint,' the major overhaul plan for [Anti-Entropy] had already begun.

Even if the 'Domain' suspends all other unnecessary computing power expenditures and operates at full capacity, its productivity still does not meet Jiang Bing's requirements due to the computing power limit of 'Xiyong'.

Then a great will descended from the heavens, and the surging 'etheric furnace' ignited with blazing flames.

With just a frown from Jiang Bing, 150 brand-new powered armor suits were 'forged' from nothingness.

To be honest, if it weren't for saving ether, Jiang Bing would have even planned to handcraft everything on-site. (Replacing the raw materials and then synthesizing them would definitely be more economical than directly converting them into higher-grade finished products.)

Fortunately, time was not too tight. The plastic steel bulletproof vests and bolt guns prepared for the planetary defense forces did not need to be all taken out in a short time. Let the fully automated production lines, forging furnaces, and precision machine tools take their time to produce them.

That's considered breaking even.

After all, Jiang Bing had spent a lot of money to buy some of the machinery from Kang Tao.

However, the delivery cycle couldn't keep up with the growth rate of Jiang Bing's strength, and the interval between Little Sweetie becoming Mrs. Niu was indeed a bit too short.

"Also, you will lead the selected 'Apostles' to the temporary armory to change their equipment later. You will have two hours to familiarize yourselves with the new equipment."

After arranging these things, Jiang Bing waved his hand to signal Fei Ying to get busy, while he himself immersed his consciousness in 'Honey'.

Above a phantom field of reeds, there exists the soul of a bald woman.

This is a psionicist that Jiang Bing secretly acquired from the Warhammer world.

Jiang Bing's previous idea was indeed true. Her existence served as a bridge between 'Ru Mi' and the subspace. As long as this soul existed, it could continuously draw energy from the subspace for Jiang Bing.

However, he still needs to continue researching new methods for more stable and efficient batch energy extraction from subspace.

This is mainly because his previous thinking had significant flaws.

Based on the psionicists Jiang Bing has encountered recently, the holes in their souls on the 'veil' are too small. This means that even with a steady stream of activity, it would be difficult to meet the requirements for 'Honey-like' advancement without at least a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand ordinary-level psionicists.

This is undoubtedly a long and complicated project.

Unless he can find a more powerful psionicist.

After all, the more powerful a psyker is, the more tightly they are integrated with the warp, and the larger the hole their soul makes in the 'veil'.

So the question is, who is the most powerful psionicist in the galaxy?

That's a good question, and the Emperor must have a lot to say about it.

So, relying on his memory, Jiang Bing turned his attention to the 'subspace network' built by the ancient sages.

These intricate and complex channels, spanning higher dimensions throughout the Milky Way, were independent hyperdimensional channels carved out from the warp by the ancients millions of Terrans years ago using advanced technology and psychic energy.

With just a tiny bit of modification, the network distributed throughout the subspace would be enough to become a stable channel for siphoning subspace energy.

So the question is, what technologies are related to 'Network Channel' and need to meet Jiang Bing's requirements?

Alas! In order to suppress the collapse of the network and keep the star torch burning, the emperor, who has had to sit on the golden throne for tens of thousands of years, has something to say again.

A closed loop between questions and answers is a valid approach.

Jiang Bing felt a constant itch in his buttocks.

Chapter 955 Eating, the Traditional Culture of Reversing Entropy

Political Commissar Fakla looked at the rationed food in front of him and felt a little itchy in his buttocks.

Not only him, but all the soldiers around him looked like they were sitting on pins and needles.

They are now shocked, bewildered, and even somewhat at a loss.

As we all know, eating is very important in [Reverse Entropy].

Eating enough and eating well are the basic requirements.

Even though Jiang Bing was stingy and unscrupulous, deep down he still intended to provide a meal for these soldiers who were about to go back to the battlefield.

Although these planetary defense forces are not employees of [Anti-Entropy], as a temporary armed force, their meal standards are similar to those of regular employees.

The cat "Fat Orange" has been equipped with a modern, high-tech kitchen. Through its tireless efforts, the primitive and the technological, the stone pot and the electromagnetic grill have been blended together. While retaining the characteristics of "cat food", the addition of modern kitchen equipment has greatly improved the efficiency of food preparation.

This allowed dozens of soldiers to eat hot meals at the same time.

According to regulations, this group of planetary defense troops is entitled to a Level 3 fixed meal in the combat sequence.
