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

Chapter 238 Miracle World
"I have to admit that if we really compare the beauty of the scenery, Earth is indeed not as good as Pandora, a planet countless light years away. I can't believe that there is such a thing at the edge of the galaxy so remote."

Under the protection of Nikonna Sharokin and the veterans of the Broken Legion, Roshi also boarded the gunboat to Pandora.

The veterans of the Iron Hands piloted the Thunderhawk skillfully. The modified ports on their bodies were connected to this metal creation, and the torrent of data shuttled directly through each other's nerves, allowing them to control the Thunderhawk gunboat as easily as they controlled their bodies to perform their own thrilling maneuvers.

After passing through Pandora's thick atmosphere, the exploration team entered the interior of the planet.

Through the porthole of the gunboat, they could see the blue cyclone of the extremely huge gas planet in the sky. At such a close distance, most of Pandora's sky was covered by the planet, and they could see the spectacular sight of the giant cyclone rotating.

For tiny creatures like humans, it is hard not to have the illusion that they are falling into a huge gaseous planet under such astronomical wonders.

"Look at those multiple moons. The giant gas planet has thirteen satellites. We can see more than ten moons regularly distributed in the beautiful and stunning blue-purple sky."

Under the reflection of the giant gas planet, everything in front of Roche seemed to be shrouded in a hazy blue light.

It is a beautiful sight that most humans will never be able to see in their lifetime. In this uninhabited place that almost reaches the edge of the Milky Way, there is such a shocking scene.

Beside him, Sharokin was gazing at the blue planet with the same longing. He had once longed to gaze at the Earth, the sacred Terra, in the same way.

"There is no doubt that this is a life planet suitable for human survival. The gravity here is slightly smaller than the standard gravity of Terra, only about 80% of the standard gravity." Hill sent the detected information to the helmets of each fighting brother and warned.

"Although Pandora's gravity is slightly smaller, its atmospheric density is very high, and the composition of the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, oxygen and ammonia. Some xenon and methane are also common. The carbon dioxide content exceeds 18%, and the air also contains trace amounts of highly toxic gaseous hydrogen cyanide."

This environment is not absolutely safe for the Astartes. If they inhale too much gaseous hydrogen cyanide, they may damage their superhuman organs.

"Be careful of the turbulence of the spacecraft."

The Iron Hand pilot warned in a loud voice, and then the Thunderhawk gunship began to maneuver, avoiding a giant mountain that suddenly appeared in the clouds ahead in a thrilling manner.

When the clouds dissipated, floating mountains appeared before everyone's eyes. They occupied different altitudes and were thousands of meters apart from each other. Huge rocks of different shapes were floating strangely in the sky at an altitude of tens of kilometers.

"There is some kind of anti-gravity material here that supports these floating mountains off the ground. It's incredible."

The tentacles of some lush green vine-like plants hung down from the rocks like ropes reaching straight to the sky. Some mountains were also gushing out torrents of water waterfalls, which turned into splashes of water floating in the sky under the blowing of strong winds.

The Thunder Eagle gunships they were riding on were as small as ants in front of these floating mountains. Even the Emperor-class Titans always seemed insignificant in front of the wonders of nature.

"Okay, that's enough of the shock. It won't be too late to appreciate the scenery here after we finish exploring Pandora."

Although Luo Xi was shocked by the natural scenery here, he certainly would not forget what he came here for.

A formation of Thunderhawk gunships slowly landed on the surface, and the first thing to deploy on the ground was a small mobile base vehicle. It was much smaller than the large base vehicle on Mustafar, only about the size of an Emperor's Poison Blade tank.

As the base vehicle landed, the moment it touched the ground of Pandora, the metal support unfolded and penetrated deep into the rock layer.

At the same time, the nanorobots stored in the base vehicle began to transform and extend, and a layer of metal armor plate covered the surface of Pandora, blocking the invasion of those unknown native plants.

Luo Xi saw those colorful unknown plants. They were much larger than the ancient plants on Terra. According to simple survival experience, the more gorgeous the plant is, the more dangerous it is.

This temporary base unleashed countless metal drills, burrowing deep into the ground, frantically collecting the raw minerals. After analysis, over ten mining vehicles were produced, gathering the necessary minerals to build a more complete base. A three-meter-high metal wall was constructed in just a few minutes, interspersed with densely packed sentry guns and Tesla arc generators, sealing every potential loophole.

The towering auspicious scanning array is centered on the base and continuously releases reconnaissance signals within a radius of thirty kilometers. All signals are summarized by the intelligent brain to form a detailed holographic projection map.

On the holographic map, every mountain, every river, and even every giant plant native to Pandora has its own corresponding coordinates.

They shouldn't have been so cautious, but the fleeting glimpse of the Eldar in space forced the people of Luoxi to be on high alert.

The Eldar are not a weak and primitive race like the Tau. They ruled the galaxy for more than 60 million years after the Necrons fell into sleep. Although the Eldar Empire was destroyed due to the awakening of the Warp God, Roxi still did not dare to underestimate these dangerous aliens who could survive the destruction.

"How is it? Have you detected the radiation fluctuations of Black Stone?" Roche asked the Mechanicus sages who landed with them.

He was quite excited, waiting for the answer.

The sages of the Mechanicus operate the instruments produced by Roche. When he and Guilliman launched the entire Five Hundred Worlds to search for the Black Stone, they built a batch of machines that could detect the Black Stone signals.

And obviously, these oil men have made appropriate modifications to those machines to make them more in line with their habits and beliefs.

Roche watched as the oil men lit sacred incense and smeared prayer-soaked holy oil on the machines to appease the so-called machine spirits.

They sang hymns praising the Great Machine and chanted the name of the God of Machines and the Omnissiah in worship.

The reaction unique to Black Stone began to become noticeably agitated, and the readings were still soaring. Luo Xi saw that the faces of the oil men began to become extremely fanatical, and their bodies that had been modified by machines even began to splash some kind of sticky liquid.

"We found it. We found it. The huge black stone reaction. I am sure there must be black stone ore reserves here that are beyond our imagination."

A sage of the Mechanicus shouted that after going through untold hardships, they finally found the ultimate goal of this journey.

Black Stone is a substance that has a unique control effect on ether energy. Its polarity changes have attracted countless mechanical priests to become fascinated by it and want to explore its secrets.

On the forging world of Mustafar, countless Om Messiah believers have conducted their own research around the Black Stone. This will be their unique technology independent of Mars, just like Riza's plasma technology and Huangquan No. 8's heretical technology, which are all unique in the galaxy.

However, the scarcity of Blackstone has caused many research projects to stagnate. These mechanical priests who are driven crazy by the desire for scientific research are in urgent need of Blackstone.

In their eyes, from this moment on, this planet has already become the property of the Mechanicus. They will thoroughly develop this life planet, and the most important thing is to dig out all the black stones in it.

"Sage Luo Xi, we have finally been favored. We have found what we need before the end of the last leg of this journey."

“Praise be to Om Messiah, praise be to the All-Merchant, whose treasures and gifts we have found.”

Luo Xi saw the performance of the oil guys and just smiled. As long as they found the black stone, they would have room to carry out their next big plan.

When Blackstone technology is truly implemented, they may be able to overcome the influence of the warp storm and leave the Five Hundred Worlds.

Huge mining equipment will be built on this planet, and ore refining centers will also produce a steady stream of black stone into suitable shapes and sizes, so that it can be more conveniently transported back to Macragge.
