In the large training ground of the monastery fortress, the bloody sunset cast brilliant shadows through the flower windows of the dome.
Soshiyang stood in the colorful reflection, waiting quietly——
Then, the door to the training ground opened, and the ground shook.
"...The transmission of the two legs needs to be improved, and the left arm also needs to be improved. How did the empire's technology regress to this point? A set of cavalry-type tactical dreadnoughts is actually one-third heavier than the same model in the past?"
Amid complaints, Savita, who was wearing the only Terminator armor in the group, walked into the training ground accompanied by Thor.
Just from the walking posture, Soshyan noticed that Sevatar was completely different from the previous user of this armor. Although the Prince of Crows was wearing a terminator that did not fit that well and had never been used, he moved and moved. The time is very freehand.
When Savita stood still in front of Soshyan, he could only look up at him.
The official name of the Terminator armor is the Tactical Dreadnought Armor, although the latter is not as well known as the former.
Terminator armor is an advanced powered armor specifically optimized for close-quarters combat. It places greater emphasis on power output than the flexibility of the armor, but it can also play the role of a mobile heavy weapons platform in attacks in open areas. .
The earliest history of the Terminator can be traced back to the Unification Era of thirty thousand years. During that period, a prototype of some kind of fully enclosed heavy individual armor had already appeared. The Mechanicum improved those primitive weapons and the Terminator was born.
However, according to some other documents, it is revealed that as early as the dark period of human history, there are records of the development of exoskeleton armor technology, and it has also been widely used.
This equipment is to ensure that astronauts can perform tasks in extremely dangerous environments, such as vacuum environments, strong radiation environments, high temperature and high pressure environments, etc.
In addition, it should be able to withstand micro-high-speed orbital debris impacts, so a thick plastic steel shell is also essential.
The suit was able to move freely even within the containment of a plasma reactor or in a container of highly corrosive chemicals - all characteristics said to be inherited by later tactical Dreadnought power armor.
Regardless of its origins, Terminator armor has been focused on defense from the beginning.
When the first batch of Terminator armor appeared, it was only intended to replace the power armor in the Great Crusade Legion. However, due to its lack of flexibility, it was eventually added to various legions as a supplement.
There are also rumors that Warmaster Horus was once the main supporter of the Terminator project, so the Luna Wolves Legion was also the legion with the largest number of Terminator equipment during the Great Crusade era.
As the Great Crusade progressed, the powerful defensive role of the Terminator was finally reflected, especially in gang-hopping battles with huge casualties.
The shell of the Terminator armor is composed of thick ceramic plates, with plastic steel reinforcements on the outside - the armor on the chest is especially thick. These armor decks are driven by strengthened electronic muscle bundles, and their skeletons are made of adamantine. . All of this is closely connected to the Space Marine's nervous and muscular system through the servo interface built into the armor, thus greatly enhancing the wearer's movement capabilities.
Its protection is so good that even individual missiles using armor-piercing warheads cannot penetrate its chest.
However, the thick armor also increases the weight of the Terminator armor, causing the wearer's walking speed and flexibility to decrease to a certain extent.
In order to support this weight, adamantine material is used on the armor frame of the Terminator armor, and a suspension system is also set up inside the armor to ensure that the armor can carry more powerful and heavy weapons.
Relying on a powerful power system and structure, the Terminator can be equipped with a variety of powerful shooting weapons (usually twin bolters or storm bolters) and powerful melee power weapons (mainly power weapons). They are generally deployed In areas where conventional power armor cannot ensure the safety of the wearer, where the battlefield environment tests protection and durability more than agility? Terminators step into the battlefield in place of ordinary Space Marines.
Beginning in the middle of the Great Crusade, each legion has formed its own Terminator company, such as the Blood Guard of the Blood Angels, the Black Guards of the Night Lords, the Scarab Guards of the Thousand Words, the Death Shrouds of the Death Guard, and the Deathwings of the Dark Angels. Wait, at the same time, most of these troops also serve as another position - the personal bodyguard of the original body.
It was from this time on that only the strongest and bravest Space Marines were given the honor of wearing this sacred battle gear.
Since its birth, Terminator armor has been divided into many models due to different ways of use. The earliest and most popular model in the Great Expedition is the iron cavalry type that Savita currently wears.
The iron cavalry type can be said to be the prototype of the Terminator armor, and it is also the model that most perfectly implements the "defensive" attributes of the Terminator.
The Iron Cavalry Terminator is very similar to the most common Indomitable type in the 41st Millennium in many aspects, but its large layered plate-like shoulder armor and tassel-like vertical strips can still easily distinguish it from the latter.
In addition, the helmet of the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor is very similar to the MKIII "Steel" type power armor at that time.
As the earliest terminator armor installed in the army, the iron cavalry terminator attaches great importance to protection to the extent that it affects other aspects of performance - it installs a high-power deflection generating device on the shoulder armor, allowing the wearer to obtain more Good protection? You can survive even in a hail of bullets.
But as a price, these additional stance generating devices will seriously hinder the mobility of this type of armor, making it less likely to respond in time when facing enemy fire. The iron cavalry type has also become synonymous with bulkiness.
It is this flaw that caused the Catastrophic Terminator armor to be gradually withdrawn from the front lines before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. However, legions such as the Sons of Horus and the Iron Hands still retain a considerable number of this type. armor.
After the end of the Great Rebellion, most of the Iron Cavalry Terminators had been consumed in the war, but some remained and were passed on to newly established sub-regiments during the second founding of the army.
Most of these ancient pieces of armor are carefully preserved as holy relics of the Chapter and will not be used except as a last resort.
"I won't go into the theoretical stuff. You haven't used a Terminator before, so you may not understand what I'm talking about. Why not get started directly and let you know what the concept of a Terminator is first."
As he spoke, the former leader of the Black Armored Guards once again put on the Terminator's Savita and activated the chainsaw halberd.
"good."
Soshiyang also activated the Sheng Yan Sword, and the two began training.
From the beginning, Soshyang used all his strength to attack the opponent without mercy. Every time the weapons intersected, it would trigger a collision and eruption of the force field.
But every one of his attacks was easily neutralized by Sevatar, and then returned with several times the power.
After only ten seconds of fighting, Soshiyang realized what a massacre looked like.
In battle, Sevatar is like a savage weapon. His advantage lies in the impact of the attack and the ruthlessness of the attack.
When meeting him on the battlefield, everyone will understand what it means to be unstoppable and as fast as thunder.
He doesn't fight, he just kills - not that he lacks skill.
The Crow Prince's talent is unparalleled, and his concentration is beyond ordinary people. He is like a violent wind full of murderous intent. The slightest tension and change in the opponent's muscles cannot escape his eyes.
Sosh Yang was soon at a disadvantage and could only barely parry.
The collision light of the weapon force field reflected the armor, and the flag hanging high above seemed to be caught in a thunderstorm. The intersection of the sword blades caused the air to electrolyze, and the resulting breeze gently blew those thick flags.
