Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 472 Olive Branch

"Time is limited, so I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Howard, do you know Terra?"

When Cecil asked this question, both parties in the communication fell silent.

Because this question is a bit too stupid.

"Okay, okay, I was stupid." Cecil's voice came again after a while: "Based on this, have you heard of the Second Terra?"

"Brother, you said you are the second... second what?" Christina couldn't help but question after hearing the name.

"Calm down, Christina," Cecil soothed. "I was also surprised when I first heard the name, but now is not the time to discuss naming."

Terra is the planet of human origin. In this worldview, Terra in the 3K era is the Earth in Howard's era.

In the 3k era, humans also named some planets outside the solar system "Second Earth" and created a "Second Ecosphere" through experiments. But now it is 40k, and this planet of human origin has been given a sacred religious status.

Therefore, the naming of this "Second Terra" is like naming a city "Second Jerusalem" or "Second Mecca" when there are religious fanatics all over the world.

Unless the person who chose this name is an incurable idiot, anyone with normal thinking ability would know the huge controversy that this name will bring.

Even if this planet was so important that it had to be related to Terra, it could have been given a more gentle name, such as Secondary Terra, or Companion Terra, etc. However, the final name was Second Terra, which was of the same level as Terra. The inner thoughts of the person who decided on this name were very clear.

Cecil: "The galaxy we are in is the center of the Tessarell sector, the Anvor galaxy. According to the navigation map, there are a total of seven planets in this galaxy. However, I have speculated from some highly confidential documents that there may be an eighth or even more planets in this galaxy. The name of one of these planets is Second Terra."

"That's impossible, brother," Christina said. "This is the intersection of the routes of more than a dozen nearby star regions. If there really is a planet outside of the records, it would be impossible not to be discovered."

"Those routes only exist in the material world. I didn't say Second Terra is in the material world." Cecil replied.

Howard: "This Second Terra, in the Warp?"

After hearing Cecil's description, Howard's first thought was whether some idle god had followed Freya's example and created an ecological sphere in the subspace, so he asked this question.

"My psychics have conducted a thorough investigation, and we can confirm that in the spiritual realm parallel to this part of the material world, there is no target that fits the description." Cecil wanted to keep the suspense going. "It's strange, isn't it?"

In the past, Howard might have taken some time to think about it, but after coming here and seeing those Necrons, he figured out the truth very easily.

Howard: "This Second Terra, is in hyperspace, right?"

"Tsk!" Cecil on the other end of the line smacked his lips. "No, Mr. Howard, you know much more than I expected. Where did you get all this knowledge? I was thinking of showing off in front of you."

"What is hyperspace?" Christina asked puzzled.

"The elusive mechanical sniper we encountered on the Deep Blue Universe moves by generating a hyperspace independent of the physical universe and moving within it. While he can observe and influence the physical universe from within the hyperspace, it's difficult for us in the physical universe to influence the existence within the hyperspace," Howard explained.

"If it's really as Mr. Cecil said, then there may be a hyperspace inside this galaxy, and it's even larger and more stable, and can even accommodate planets."

"This is alien technology," Cecil said. "Christina, Mr. Howard, what I'm going to say next is confidential. But since you've come this far, you probably won't turn back, right?"

At the same time, he had not forgotten his secret agent: "Of course, there is also you, Miss Ian Hola, you can't hide either."

Ian Hola had been sitting on the sofa and started fishing, but after hearing what Cecil said, he woke up with a start.

Howard: "Go on."

Cecil: "I used to take it for granted that the Anwo Galaxy and even the Tessarell Sector were human territory, but now some examples seem to disprove my view. There is no doubt that a powerful alien empire exists within the Tessarell Sector, and there is much evidence that the Helvenson family has some kind of cooperation with this alien empire. The most likely person responsible for this cooperation is our mother and the unidentified psykers around her."

"For example," Cecil explained, "these so-called seeds have undergone multiple rounds of screening, and their genetics are very close to those of primitive humans from ten thousand years ago. According to family records, the Helvetic family collects a batch of these materials every once in a while, and the last collection dates back over one hundred and fifty years."

Cecil: "We announced to the outside world that these human materials would be used for experimental research to improve some common genetic diseases among humans in the Tessarell sector, or to research a new generation of enhanced surgery based on these original genetic templates. However, these human materials quickly disappeared after being put into experiments. In the past, we thought they were consumed in the experiments, but now we know that they may have been transferred to this planet called Second Terra."

"I don't know when our family began cooperating with these aliens, nor do I know what benefits were exchanged between the two sides... But selling out one's own kind to them is never a good thing, especially in the current political environment of the empire. If this matter were to leak, we would be in endless trouble." Cecil's tone was slightly lowered. "Mom... Mother must be aware of this. Maybe she has her own considerations, or maybe she was coerced. But no matter what, we must understand everything behind this. Aliens are not trustworthy, especially now that conflicts seem to have broken out among them."

After Cecil said this, Howard understood: "Those aliens on the Deep Blue Universe were not sent by you?"

Cecil: "You think too highly of me. I can get you a Space Marine Legion for a small price, but assigning these aliens is indeed beyond your scope."

Based on this premise, the behavior of the Necrons on the Deep Blue Universe can be explained. This batch of seeds was prepared for the Necrons, but at that time on the spacecraft, the Necrons were moving to destroy these seeds.

"These aliens have been more active than ever in the past decade or so. This is not a good sign," Cecil said. "Therefore, Mr. Howard, I need your help."
