Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 122 Pancake Fearless

Tomorrow morning is the time to launch a counterattack on the clock tower. It will inevitably be an unpredictable and brutal battle. Even if they have made sufficient preparations, it is hard to say whether they can win this battle that determines the fate of everyone in the entire Middle Nest and how many people can survive.

So many people are destined to be unable to sleep tonight. In this quarantine point, the survivors found firewood and other combustible materials to build a huge bonfire. They sat around the fire and sang songs, and some people played harmonicas and string instruments.

Now the plague is raging, and tomorrow's life and death are uncertain. Those who are about to go to the battlefield go to bed early in their clothes, and a very small number of people with heavier responsibilities still cannot sleep.

Howard is one of them.

Now he is working overtime to make the pancakes.

The place where the bonfire was lit was not far from where Howard worked. If the wind was favorable, Howard could even hear a few words of the lyrics.

This song seems to be sung by a boy about to go to war to his beloved girl. There is no sadness in the lyrics. The boy tells the girl that he will be a cavalryman. He boasts about riding a warhorse and galloping on the battlefield. He says that his enemies will be terrified when they see him. The whole song has this cheerful tone.

However, Howard had no interest in listening carefully, because according to his past experience, the prototype stories behind such cheerful folk songs were mostly tragedies. The artistic conception of this song was quite suitable for a girl to sing in front of the boy's grave after he died in the battle.

And now he is very busy with his work.

After the initial battle to pick him up from the space elevator and the defense of the isolation point, the Jianbing Guozi was almost exhausted.

The number of men currently assigned to the attack on the clock tower was confirmed to be 400, with each man receiving 80 silver-laced bullets and two Jianbing Guozi. This alone would require 800 Jianbing Guozi, and with the daily expenses of non-combat use, Howard would need to produce at least 1,500 Jianbing Guozi.

But this is just the basics. There will be only 400 people participating in the battle against the clock tower tomorrow. These 400 people are the elite among the elite, but it is difficult to count how many people will assist these elites.

However, these auxiliary troops are not qualified to be equipped with silver bullets and pancakes.

But so far, he has only made more than a thousand pancakes. Adding the small amount of inventory, there is still a shortage of two or three hundred pancakes. He needs to work at least two more hours.

He used the fully automatic pancake machine numbly and efficiently. After five or six hours of repetitive work, Howard felt that he had turned into a robot. His muscles and bones could only move within a limited area. Once he exceeded this range, he would immediately feel a vague soreness and discomfort.

However, as he became more proficient in using the machine, his speed in making Jianbing Guozi increased from 20 seconds to 17 seconds. If he ran it at full speed, he could make a Jianbing Guozi in 15 seconds, but that was too energy-consuming, and he would have to stop and rest after 10 minutes. But if he kept the speed of 17 seconds, he could keep making it forever.

Ivan had done another job before. He recorded all the movements Howard made while making a pancake, and then made a hollow mechanical device.

This mechanical device is a bit like a complete set of exoskeleton armor, which is just big enough for Howard to lie down in.

But after lying in it, Howard could no longer control his body. His entire body, including each of his fingers, would be controlled by the preset movements of this mechanical device. In this mechanical device, the only things Howard could move were his eyeballs and tongue.

In this suit of armor, all Howard needs to do is relax his whole body, and then the mechanical device will guide Howard to operate with the same posture and steps as he usually does when making pancakes, except that the speed is set to three times Howard's maximum speed.

According to Ivan's idea, if the pancakes made in this way are effective, he will further improve the mechanical device. He will anesthetize Howard to make him unconscious, and then add a life support system so that Howard can produce pancakes around the clock at a speed three to five times the usual speed.

Ivan called this thing the RT-01 fully automatic pancake production auxiliary prototype machine.

Howard thought to himself, don't make it so complicated, just call it Pancake Fearless.

But I don’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but in the end the pancakes made by Howard using the mechanical device did not have the effect of curing the plague, so Ivan had to give up on this idea.

But then Ivan had a new idea. He thought that perhaps the pancakes were made by the active operation of Howard's muscles.

So he planned to insert electrodes into Howard's joints, using external electrical signals to replace nerve electrical signals to issue instructions to the muscles, which would also allow Howard's limbs to keep working at full capacity. Although this would inevitably cause serious damage to Howard's limbs, he could give Howard recovery injections to allow Howard's muscles and bones to regenerate while being damaged.

Then this crazy idea was unanimously stopped by Char, Arabel and Howard himself.

In fact, if Jianbingguozi Wuwei and this electrode solution are really useful, Howard would not refuse it. After all, efficiency is the most important thing in the current situation.

However, Slaanesh had also conducted similar experiments on himself, and his experiments were more comprehensive and in-depth. Slaanesh could not find a way to make himself produce effective pancakes against his will, so it was even more impossible for Ivan to find it.

……

Howard folded the pancake mechanically. Now he can fold the pancake into a standard cube.

Then the folded pancake is immediately sent to the next step by the conveyor belt for packaging and storage.

After finishing the pancakes, Howard stretched, then took a few steps back and sat on the sofa. Arabelle brought him freshly brewed coffee and pastries in due time.

"Thank you!" Howard took the coffee, then picked up a pastry and took a bite. It was a small anise-flavored cake.

After Howard got the coffee and pastries, Arabelle put the plate of small cakes on the table, then walked around behind Howard and massaged his shoulders.

"How much longer?" Arabelle asked.

"It'll take another two hours...or an hour and a half." Howard washed down the pastry in his mouth with coffee and said, "Don't worry, I can get up tomorrow."

He also has to participate in tomorrow's battle.

Logically speaking, in a battle of this magnitude, his combat effectiveness would be a complete drag.

But everyone who attended the pre-war meeting unanimously agreed that Howard should join this action. After Howard's performance and various things that happened in these days, they have basically acquiesced that Howard is the key to ending this plague.

Therefore, Howard must be included in tomorrow's operation no matter what. Although no one, including Howard himself, could explain clearly what the purpose of bringing himself along was, everyone voted in favor of this proposal.
