Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 130: The Labyrinth of Pharos
"If there is a material that can free humans from the influence of the warp, I think it is most likely the Black Stone."

"Assuming there are enough Black Stones, we can use their magic-forbidden effects to suppress the aetheric currents within the galaxy, while those malicious entities in the warp can only watch in fear."

Before this, humans knew almost nothing about this substance. If it weren't for Trazyn actively telling Roshi the information, he would probably have needed a long time to explore before he gradually discovered the magic of the black stone.

However, trying to figure out the polarity of Black Stone to the subspace is probably another difficult task.

After all, the Empire is now in a state of resistance to psychic power itself. Although Guilliman has lifted the restrictions on think tanks imposed by the Nikea Edict, it does not mean that psychics will be given an exception.

Too many lessons have proven the danger of human psychics. These guys who look like ordinary people are actually burning beacons in the Sea of ​​Souls.

In the chaotic warp, a glittering human soul is undoubtedly tempting those malicious beings.

Once they experience drastic emotional fluctuations or are affected by external forces, the power of the subspace will flow into the real universe through their bodies.

Perhaps they don't want this to happen, but the fact is that the existence of psychics itself is a potential threat.

"Then how do we obtain the Black Stone? According to my experience, most of the planets that the Iron Warriors have visited have never found this material." Dantioch said, "Of course, it is also possible that these materials are buried in extremely hidden underground and have escaped our scans."

Luo Xi replied: "As I said just now, black stone is not a naturally generated substance in the real universe. Although I don't know what kind of existence has the ability to create something that does not conform to the laws of nature, one thing is certain——"

"Black Stone is very rare and only appears on certain planets."

The Warsmith breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and calmed down.

"It's okay. As long as they are not completely gone, we have the ability to find them. If they are unclaimed land, then let those crazy oil men dig them up."

"If it is an owner's land, haha, then we have to go there and make it an ownerless land."

Dantioch's plain words revealed naked blood, but Roche and the other Extreme Warriors around him did not show much disgust.

The entire universe is like this, everyone is killing each other, and there is constant war for the chance to survive and continue their race.

If the human race could still maintain a layer of decency under the absolute suppression of strength in the past, now, with the entire galaxy burning, this layer of decency has long been abandoned.

"Then what you just said, there is another important factor besides the black stone."

There was an iron mask on the war blacksmith's face, and Luo Xi couldn't see his expression, but he still felt something in his heart and realized that the blacksmith should have made a frowning gesture.

"Energy. Activating Falos requires a huge amount of special energy."

A holographic projection was projected in front of Roche, and at the bottom of the entire Faros facility, the area called the quantum pulse engine was highlighted with increased brightness.

"I originally conducted an overall scan and only found that the area had some kind of powerful energy supply mechanism. But now I have carefully calculated that even the energy released by our commonly used antimatter furnace is not enough to provide it with energy."

Now in the Ultramarines Legion, the widely used antimatter furnaces have replaced the original cold nuclear fusion in many occasions, because this energy releases more energy per unit time than cold nuclear fusion.

What war weapons need most is this explosive form of energy.

In addition, actively overloading the antimatter furnace to trigger a powerful matter reaction explosion is also a trump card that can be played in desperate moments.

Although using this trump card also means that the user will be completely destroyed by the antimatter explosion, at least the opponent can be dragged to hell together.

For the Space Marines, and even many of the mortal auxiliaries, this wasn't a terrifying prospect. Contrary to popular belief, they were actually delighted to finally have the means to fight for their lives. Facing an enemy so powerful it was impossible to escape, all one could do was rely on willpower and fight for their lives.

Human bombs appeared in the second millennium of mankind, and they still exist in the thirty-first millennium, and have even become more developed.

"According to the information I obtained, the large space in that energy supply area actually maintains a special existence called the Hypercube Labyrinth."

Roche tried to understand the Necrons' unique vocabulary and translate it into human language.

"[Tesseract Maze]? It sounds like it was built to trap something."

Dantioch savored the word suspiciously. Perturabo had once helped his brother Konrad Curze build a labyrinth on the Legion's flagship, the Nightfall, designed to be used when necessary.

Luo Xi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

In the information given by Trazyn, the part about the interior of the [Hypercube Labyrinth] was covered up and deleted. Unless the labyrinth is opened, there is no way to know what is inside.

But he instinctively rejected this bold idea. No matter what was inside, the fact that it could provide energy for a mechanical creation like Faros that could operate across the galaxy showed how dangerous it was.

"If we want to replicate Pharos, or at least make a castrated version of it, we need to solve this energy problem."

The Necrons can use the hypercube maze for energy, but humans cannot. Roche must find an alternative energy source to replace the energy supply component that is like a black box.

"Be optimistic. At least the conditions we have now are something we never dared to dream of before."

The war blacksmith laughed loudly, although Roshi only felt that the sound of Dantioch, the guy who branded an iron mask on him, laughing loudly was like an old horse that had sprained its throat.

His three bio-enhanced lungs were failing, and judging by his physical age alone, Dantioch was already thousands of years old.

The Hrud's entropy weapons caused indelible damage to him, but Roche felt that this ridiculously stubborn Iron Warrior possessed a tenacity and stubbornness that could never be shaken.

He is like a piece of steel that has been truly tempered and understands what he wants.

Roche and Dantioch were just casual acquaintances, and they had known each other for no more than a month.

But Roche was still moved by the character and will shown by this stubborn Iron Warrior, which was completely different from what he learned from Nikoner, Weiland, Hill and others.

"You're right, we shouldn't worry about things that haven't happened yet." Luo Xi smiled casually.

Then, the bracelet on his wrist vibrated.

Suddenly, a completely new vision that Luo Xi had never seen before emerged in his mind.

The voice of the intelligent brain sounded immediately:

[Unknown technology input detected, hidden protocol 0917 activated]

The voice that came next made Luo Xi feel like he was electrocuted. His whole body trembled and his hair stood on end.

That was the chief's voice.
