Chapter 689 Tyranids
The Great Mess Hall received an urgent transmission from the Tau Empire - the Tyranids were coming.
The newly formed New Spirit Communication Department is busy again. Anya and Yawensi summoned the Astropaths, who will transmit the message for the second time.
The room made of spiritual bones is bright and clean, and runes used to stabilize and encrypt information are everywhere.
Yavinth stood among the Astropaths. She was the architect and protector of the ritual. She and Anya were stunned by the brutal and wild use of psychic powers by the Empire's astropaths. After teaching them for a long time, these astropaths were able to stably control their powers.
"Relax your mind and carve runes."
Yawensi reminded her, her necklace was shining brightly, and it contained an Eldar rune that had a calming effect.
The astropath holds a spiritual bone in his hand. They close their eyes and divide the spiritual energy into as many parts as possible.
Part of it is used to protect the soul, part is used to carve spiritual bones, and part is used to spread the news.
This job is not easy for the Eldar, and the Astropath will almost collapse from exhaustion every time he completes the communication.
But at least they won't be polluted by crazy nonsense. It's better to hurt the body than to hurt the spirit.
"The swarm is coming, estimated to number 240 billion, divided into five fleets and attacking the eastern edge of the Tau Empire."
The information traveled through the subspace and reached Lin Fan and his fleet before the demons could react.
The Eldar and Astropaths in the fleet responded quickly, guiding the information to rest on the spiritual bones, and the complete information was recorded through the Eldar runes.
"Oh ho, there's going to be a war again." Lin Fan didn't have much thought after reading it. The insect swarm is easy to fight even though it's hard to fight. It's hard to fight even if it's easy to fight.
It is difficult to fight not because there are too many insects, but because their combat capabilities are ridiculously strong under the control of the insect hive consciousness.
Not only were the Empire's slow-moving armies not as numerous as the Insects, but their mobilization efficiency was also not as high as those of the Insects.
In particular, the Hive Fleet will become the node where the Hive Will extends. The majestic subspace projection of the Hive Will will suffocate all surrounding subspace fluctuations, making navigation and communication impossible.
As long as the insect swarm launches an attack on a planet, the planet will not have the opportunity to send out any distress signal. Being eaten alone and helplessly is the only outcome.
The reason why it is easy to fight is also due to the control of the insect swarm by the Hive Mind. These brainless and fearless creatures lack the mental ability to connect over long distances. Controlling an entire Hive Fleet requires larger creatures as nodes.
Synaptic creatures will serve as relay stations and communication nodes in the Tyranid spiritual network. As long as these things are killed, the swarm fleet will change from a uniform killing machine to a group of unorganized and undisciplined hungry beasts.
The chaotic insect swarm fleet will also have a probability of regenerating a synapse creature to establish contact with the hive mind. Therefore, in order to eliminate the insect swarm, it is best to speed up the action and wipe out all the new synapse creatures before they are born.
"Then let's separate here. You and the Eldar cruise ship will go to support the Tau Empire first. I'll go back and lay out the production line for the Tree of Life, and then organize troops to support you." Odemeyer said to Lin Fan.
"You don't need to support me. What can happen to me? I went in and found the synaptic creatures in Quan Yang, and killed all the most dangerous Titan-level bugs. Maybe the Tau Empire can handle the rest. Lin Fan sat on the stool and clenched his fists twice, feeling very confident.
"Okay," Odemeyer nodded, assigning tasks to the originals, "Don't go to the battlefield yet."
"Why?" the Primarchs said in unison.
"It would be a waste if you only use your talents to fight alone on the battlefield. You can become good managers and keep several star sectors operating stably. Come here first and help me promote the vaccine to the areas currently controlled by our government. Let’s talk about the planet.”
"If it were my father, he would definitely not think this way. He would only dislike the fact that our conquest speed is too slow and not enough planets have been included in the empire." Petula Bo said angrily.
"Now and then, the first great expedition cannot be slow, and the second great expedition cannot be hasty." Lin Fan said slowly, "We had no choice before, but now we have the ability to slowly clean up the mess."
"Then it's settled, you go there first, and we'll arrive later." Odemeyer continued.
"I'm afraid it will take a few years for this to happen soon." Lin Fan joked.
"If it was an imperial fleet, it might take them several centuries." Perturabo also told a little joke.
For a time, the ship's conference room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
VK-01 galaxy, this galaxy was discovered during the Tau Empire's fourth eastward expansion plan. There are several desolate planets in the galaxy. They are either too close or too far away from the stars, making it impossible to breed a reliable biosphere.
But the Tau Empire used a certain amount of effort to transform these planets, so that the surfaces of these planets were covered with lush low grass.
If you want to ask why, then you have to start with the suggestions Lin Fan made to Ying Yang and Yuan Yuan.
"If you are not sure about the direction of the insect swarm's attack, just add more greenery on the border planets. The insect swarm will not give up these pre-dinner desserts."
Among these green planets, there is one with the greenest degree. There are no animals eating grass in the pasture, and there are only countless flame mines hidden under the soil.
"For the Emperor and the Greater Good."
Volani, a human living in the Tau Empire. During the era of Ether's rule, they were called Guvisa or Gura with a contemptuous meaning. Now, under the propaganda of Shadow Sun and Farsight, they are only called humans. .
As the commander of the Tau Empire's Human Alliance Legion, Volani possesses outstanding knowledge and a willingness to die for the Emperor and the Greater Good.
"For the Emperor and the Greater Good." Tau commander Ketan greeted Volani. Although they were senior generals of the same level, they would not waste their energy on meaningless political strife.
There is no such ugly thing in the culture of the Tau Empire, it is just about everyone doing their job and doing their best.
But Ketan is not a member of the Fire Clan. He comes from the Earth Clan, which is good at construction. This is thanks to the clan liberation policy introduced by Yuan Yuan.
People from any clan can take on jobs from other clans, but of course you must first prove that you are indeed qualified for the job.
The truth that those who are not qualified will suffer the consequences is not something only humans understand.
"K-1 Galaxy is probably lost, right? They haven't sent any news for more than two years." Volani said in a heavy tone.
