Fu Qinghai, who was fully armored, had already sat in the torpedo after removing the charge, and was looking down to inspect his new gun.
The surrounding crew and servitors were making preparations for launch.
The gun in Fu Qinghai's hand is what Wo Kuotai calls the "new toy".
After replacing the standard curved magazine of the bolt gun with a drum magazine, Fu Qinghai, who returned from Moradigan, went into Master Quinto's laboratory and started tinkering.
The result this time is a composite weapon. The principle is very simple. It combines a small flamethrower and a bolt gun, similar to how the earth hung a grenade launcher under the barrel in the previous life.
But the complication is that the standard composite weapon of the imperial military has a bolt mechanism and combination method designed from the beginning of manufacture, but Fu Qinghai had to use a standard Agrippina-type bolter to modify it. , it will test the modification technology and processing methods.
But it's not hard to blame Fu Qinghai, who has a backup copy of Electronic Iron Man in his mind.
There is also a technical priest beside him. For Fu Qinghai, this level of modification is as simple as a primary school student doing crafts.
But at this time, Fu Qinghai was thinking about other things.
Wokuotai arranged for him to deal with the pirates alone. Is this a test for himself or a protection for himself?
Anything involving psychic powers is never easy to deal with. This is not dealing with an indigenous planet. Psykers deserve to be taken seriously by every Space Marine, so it is okay to call it a test.
As for the Gladius frigate, it faced a Moon-class cruiser that was unknown as an enemy or a friend. If it was an enemy, the Gladius would basically be bombarded to a pulp, and there would not even be a chance to join forces and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
From this perspective, it is also a protection for Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai thought a little further. If the other party is a rebel, according to the plot in the official novel, the rebels' goal is directly at Terra, and they should ignore the existence of space pirates. In fact, the more pirates and aliens there are in the galaxy, , the more advantageous it is for the rebels, these minions will involve more loyalists, which will facilitate the main force of the rebels to attack the solar system.
Therefore, the Moon-class cruiser most likely belongs to the loyalists.
The hatch closed and his vision briefly fell into darkness. Fu Qinghai shook his head, thinking about these things no more and focusing on the task at hand.
As soon as his dim-compensated vision recovered, Fu Qinghai felt a huge push.
At the edge of the meteorite belt, the frigate Gladius launched a torpedo at the two spacecraft hovering in space.
Judging from the size, the cargo merchant ship was larger than the Gladius frigate, and its shape was more bloated.
What's more, when facing a stationary target, the torpedo will almost never miss.
Fu Qinghai, who was sitting in the torpedo at this time, felt deeply that the torpedo was designed without any user experience. In the small and dark space, there was no dashboard or screen in front of him, and he could not see any scene from the outside world. A flashing red light. When the light turns green, it means that the target has been hit and it is time to go out.
Then there was a loud noise and a huge vibration accompanied by the impact, shaking Fu Qinghai in the small space.
The small charge on the head of the torpedo exploded the hull of the merchant ship and inserted the torpedo into the merchant ship.
The flashing red light turned green.
Fu Qinghai thought that the design of your indicator light was not unnecessary.
The hatch above the head slowly slid open, but got stuck halfway.
Fu Qinghai reached out and punched the top of his head, then tore the hatch open with all his strength.
Then, a ferocious and burly Space Marine with scarlet eyes appeared in the corridor.
Fu Qinghai looked around. There were pale lights flashing in the dark passage. There was no one there. The air was quickly escaping towards the gap created by the torpedo, making a hissing sound. The hatch in the distance was automatically closing and sealing. .
Fu Qinghai ignored the closing hatch, but took out the teleportation beacon device and began to arrange it. Whether to summon the Terminator armor or not was one thing, he had to arrange it first.
After setting up the transmission beacon and the indicator light on the beacon lighting up, Fu Qinghai held a gun in one hand and walked towards the depths of the quiet passage.
No matter how slow the enemy was, they must have been alerted by the shock of the torpedo impact.
Fu Qinghai's keen hearing caught the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the depths of the passage.
Then he saw a group of people in tattered clothes and armed with various weapons rushing toward him.
The moment they saw Fu Qinghai, the group of people shouted, turned around on the spot and started running back without firing a single laser.
Fu Qinghai fired several bursts from his bolter, beating the pirates into pieces.
Keep moving forward.
…
At this time, in the main control room of the merchant ship, the crew members were tied up in the corner. A middle-aged man with black hair and a horse face slapped a fat businessman in rich clothes on the face, and cursed in low Gothic: Turn on the surveillance for me!"
This middle-aged man has a long face, small triangular eyes, thin cheeks, and slightly protruding cheekbones. This appearance makes people feel that he always has a gloomy face.
The fat businessman who was slapped by the horse-faced man rushed to the console and started operating it in a hurry.
…
In the passage, Fu Qinghai met the first person who dared to face him directly.
A man wearing a black mask, only a pair of eyes exposed, and a black close-fitting special combat uniform.
Just from this outfit, Fu Qinghai couldn't tell where the other party was from.
Psykers? However, according to the training content Talal gave him before, he did not find where the psychic amplifier on the opponent's head was.
The other party was also looking Fu Qinghai up and down, observing this 2.7-meter-tall armored warrior, and seemed to have no idea what to do.
In the main control room, after some operations by the fat businessman, the dark screens lit up. Several people in the main control room quickly found the figure of the intruder Fu Qinghai on a screen in the lower right corner.
The horse-faced middle-aged man frowned slightly and asked in Japanese in confusion: "What is this? A bulky armored man?"
A young man with yellow hair next to him chimed in with a smile: "Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Iron Armored Little Treasure?"
Another added: "Yes, cockroach bully!"
"It's Lailai the Scorpion!"
No one took this bulky armored man seriously.
For a time, the main control room was filled with happy air.
Only the fat merchant ship owner was stunned. He stared at Fu Qinghai on the surveillance screen and muttered a word that no one had heard before:
"Astartes..."
