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

Chapter 387 We call it efficiency (seeking follow-up subscription)
A delegation of the Adeptus Mechanicus, led by Archmagos Arkan Rand, landed on the "Star Ring" that was emitting beautiful aurora colors.

With their arrival, countless eyeball-shaped intelligent machines floating in the universe suddenly gathered around.

"They are watching us."

Rand could feel that these things were not stupid and low-intelligence creations, they were likely to have their own intelligence.

After the eyeball-shaped intelligent machine discovered them, other intelligent machines on the star ring quickly rushed to the group's surroundings.

They were some non-humanoid intelligent machines with a very simple and efficient triangular frame. Rand did not see any processing marks or engine openings on their silver-white shells, which meant that their casting process had reached a level of perfection.

"Beautiful, so beautiful, the beauty of simplicity, these little things."

The simpler the technological creation, the higher the technological content it contains. Rand was amazed by the beauty of these little things.

Rand praised, and even the animatronic monkey on his shoulder was dissatisfied with his joy and grabbed the fancy wig on top of the Great Sage's head.

In a sense, this extremely intelligent sage is really "extremely intelligent". Perhaps it is because his overdeveloped brain absorbs most of the nutrients. Since his teenage years, Akan Rand has had a shiny bald head.

"Ganymede uses a large number of omnics. Doesn't Sage Roshi of Macragge know about the Scarlet Accords? Or, does he not even want to act?"

Rand felt a little uneasy. Everything here was indeed very intelligent, but it was a little too much.

Even those Mechanicus sages who secretly crossed the line and studied abominable intelligence and iron men would often use various names and reasons to explain their research.

He had never seen anyone as open and honest as Luo Xi.

+Carbon-based life detected: Database query complete - Welcome, Sage Arkan Rand+
+Welcome to Ganymede+
A group of triangular robots floated in the air, linking together to form a combined shape similar to a human face.

+Sage Roshi is waiting for you at the planet's control center, please follow me+
Everyone followed the triangular robot towards the area that was suspected to be the space elevator. In the face of many strange-looking robots, a mechanical priest could not resist his curiosity and activated the plasma gear cutter on the mechanical arm behind him, trying to catch a triangular robot for research.

There are so many robots on this star ring, and if I sneak one away, no one should notice, right?
Once they arrived at the unfamiliar and novel venue, these mechanics became restless again. These unprecedented triangular structure robots on Ganymede were most likely the product of some unknown STC template.

+Warning! Danger detected+
The mechanical robots that noticed the abnormality immediately emitted red light from their bodies. They combined tightly together to form a closed wall similar to an eggshell, and enclosed the mechanical priest who was about to take action.

The Oil Man, who was frightened by the sudden rise of the intelligent machine, panicked immediately. He started his plasma gear cutter with all his strength. At the same time, he took out various weapons with amazing firepower from under his Martian red robe and began to bombard the intelligent machine barrier that bound him.

+Energy weapons, medium threat level+
+Allow execution of control protocols+
Under the gaze of Great Sage Rand, a golden beam of light suddenly began to flash from the surface of the surrounding star rings. It hit the intelligent machines, and then the extremely smooth surfaces of the intelligent machines added a variety of tactical modules as if they were printed with hard light.

An electromagnetic pulse weapon appeared on the surface of the intelligent machine. The triangular-structured robot cracked a gap and simultaneously created an energy field and an electromagnetic field to shield the range damage of the electromagnetic pulse weapon. A series of electromagnetic pulses instantly paralyzed the oil man with dishonest hands and feet.

He had already performed a lot of mechanical modifications on himself. Under the targeted attack of the intelligent machines, his external processor immediately began to smoke and overload, and the modifications on his body also twitched and became paralyzed.

Rand was worried about his colleagues. Being dishonest was a common problem among all mechanical priests, but these people obviously did not realize that they were now on someone else's territory.

"Ahem, listen to me, everyone should be more cautious. If you make a scene, it will embarrass us."

"Stop bringing shame to our Adeptus Mechanicus. There's not much left."

He did not try to save the mechanical priest who was the first to speak out. Anyway, it seemed that the other party was not in danger of life, otherwise those intelligent machines would not have just paralyzed him with electromagnetic pulses.

After this unpleasant incident, the Mechanicus delegation calmed down considerably. They realized they were the technologically backward party here, and like primitive people entering a grand garden, they were filled with curiosity about everything around them. In a space elevator constructed of transparent, high-strength material, the delegation traveled at high speed from the surface of the ring to the planet's control center at their destination.

Until someone was surprised by an unusual phenomenon in the sky.

"Oh, Oh Messiah, that thing is, it is devouring the mass of Jupiter?" a mechanical priest screamed, his voice mixed with the hissing sound of leaking oil.

Through the walls of the space elevator, everyone can clearly see the rows of steel buildings below. The original ice layer on the surface of Ganymede has been completely covered by metal, and most of these materials come from Jupiter.

The only difference from what they imagined is that Ganymede does not obtain resources by collecting materials via spacecraft and then transporting them to refining centers for processing.

At the focal point covered by the star ring, there seemed to be some kind of powerful mass reaction. The detection equipment brought by Great Sage Rand could sense that terrifying energy was surging there.

It’s just that they were originally on the star ring, so their perception of this thing was blocked a lot.

As the saying goes, one cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because one is already inside the mountain. When the delegation of the Mechanicus was on the surface of a celestial-level megastructure system, they were instead shrouded in a fog.

"This is... a gravity well?!"

The great sage Rand suddenly began to breathe rapidly. He recognized what the giant structure formed by the star ring was.

Under the pull of the gravity well created by the ring, a large amount of matter in Jupiter's outer atmosphere was siphoned in like a giant straw, directly crossing the long space scale to the mineral refining center of Ganymede.

With the gravity well as the core, Jupiter and Ganymede are connected as if by an extremely thin umbilical cord. Ganymede is hungry for supplies of materials from its parent planet, and those materials from Jupiter are mined and transported to designated locations with an extraordinary efficiency.

"What the hell, building a gravity well just for mining, do you have to be so arrogant?"

"This, this, is the precious relic technology of the gravity well."

Akan Rand was roaring inside, but the manners he had developed over the years allowed him to control his facial expression.

Only the electronic monkey he raised noticed the ups and downs in his master's heart. It immediately calmed down, grabbed Rand's ears and trembled.

Gravity wells are relic technologies inherited from the Dark Age of Technology. To the Mechanicus, this thing may not be considered rare. Some ancient forge worlds have remnants of this super technology and can be used normally.

But for the oil men, this thing is something they need to worship devoutly, appease the machine spirit carefully, and use the most sacred lubricating oil to maintain the machine before it can be used.

In reality, the Mechanicus currently makes very limited use of this super technology, and it is a measure that they will only use when it comes to life and death.

Rand felt mixed emotions as his precious relics, which he had painstakingly collected, were used by others as a means of mining.

It's quite a complicated feeling, as if the goddess who you take good care of and maintain at home is treated like a shared bicycle and has to stand up and pedal hard.

"Why are you doing this? Is it just for mining?" Rand tentatively asked the guiding intelligent machine in front of him.

After receiving the inquiry request, the intelligent machines immediately turned around and faced Rand.

+ Authorize to answer: Affirmative reply, Sage Arkan Rand, the existence of gravity wells is to obtain gaseous planetary materials more quickly. For the forging world of Ganymede, we call it high efficiency. +
+Efficiency is productivity, productivity is everything, everything is for Ganymede+
+I hope you can get used to everything here soon, wish you all the best+
