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

Chapter 393 Knowledge Open Source Sharing (Please Subscribe)
Luo Xi naturally would not know the secret talks between the Emperor and Malcador. This was a secret that must be kept secret. In a sense, the Dragon of Mars and the God of All Machines were actually the same concept.

When he announced the establishment of the Community of Advanced Technology on the top floor of the planetary control center on Ganymede, an organization derived from the Mechanicus had already been born.

In the past, the Mechanicus and the Empire were in a parallel double-headed eagle relationship, and the signing of the Olympia Accords made the two close allies.

After the Martian Civil War, the severely damaged loyalist Adeptus Mechanicus was forced by the situation to reorganize into the Adeptus Mechanicus, a subordinate organization of the Terran Senate.

The gap between making progress on par with others and falling behind others is hard to accept for most of the oil men, but now that their days are numbered, they have no choice but to accept this fact.

"Actually, objectively speaking, what the empire did was indeed not fair." Luo Xi thought to himself.

"No wonder Mars is so divided."

"When Mars asked for help, the Empire, for various reasons, sent a small force to directly move 20,000 to 30,000 sets of Terminator power armor and other scattered production equipment. In the end, Sigismund directly decided that Kane would become the next Forge General and perfunctorily dealt with the matter of supporting Mars."

"The Oilers actually remembered everything. As soon as they returned to Terra, they were sent by the Emperor to fight in the Webway War. Resentment has already begun to grow in their hearts. After all, they held their bottom line and did not betray the Emperor, but ended up like this."

The Advanced Technology Community founded by Roche is actually a completely new organizational structure that is independent of the Mechanicus.

The purpose of this organization is the shared development of technology and knowledge. If Roche wants to truly bring together this group of Om Messiah believers, it cannot be accomplished just by talking.

This requires him to contribute real skills and knowledge, use interests to unite people, and use interests to induce the formation of fertile soil suitable for the development of science and technology.

Today's empire is simply a nightmare environment for the development of science and technology. Rather than innovating, the oil guys are more like digging graves, digging the graves of past human technology and the graves of various alien civilizations.

It is not impossible to dig up relics and conduct scientific research, but today's empires and mechanics often only know the results but not the reasons. When they dig up technological relics from the past, they have neither the ability nor the vision to analyze and reproduce the scientific system behind them.

When they unearthed the STC fragments, they only thought about how to use the STC instead of understanding the principles and theoretical system contained in the STC. This also led to the extremely distorted technological level of the empire.

It's like a group of primitive monkeys who found a chip left over from a past civilization, and their choice was to grind the chip and tie it to tree branches to make a bow and arrow, using technology in a mind-blowing way.

Although this example seems ridiculous, it is true. Many things in the empire today were not actually used in the field of war in the past golden age and dark technological age. It's just that today's humans have invested all technology in war in order to survive in this cruel universe.

The knight mechas widely deployed by the Mechanicus are the armored vehicles used by colonists in the past when they were developing colonies, and now these vehicles are used in the field of warfare.

"Everyone, I must make one thing clear. The Advanced Technology Community has no threshold restrictions for any knowledge seeker. You can think of knowledge as being shared and circulated here."

Roche's words caused a commotion among many mechanical priests. Their thought processors quickly analyzed the truthfulness of Roche's words, and then one by one they fell into a red temperature state.

"Creative sharing, are you sure you want to do this?" Akan Rand asked.

Luo Xi nodded slightly, acknowledging the sage's question.

"Whether it's the former Mechanicus or the current Adeptus Mechanicus, you always have a shabby attitude towards knowledge. Every Mechanicus priest who discovers a technological relic of the past will only carefully collect it and bring it back to his own laboratory to slowly study it." Luo Xi said. He was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the Mechanicus.

There is a saying that goes, "There are as many beliefs in the Mechanicus as there are stars in the sky." In fact, this can be extended to mean, "There are as many schools of thought in the Mechanicus as there are stars in the sky."

For some young mechanical priests, if they want to learn real skills, they must become a disciple of a senior who has made achievements in some field. Only after a long period of tempering and testing, the other party may pass on his doctrines and research.

For example, the biggest figure in the field of biological genetic inheritance is Ezekiel Seiden who is now present. He was directly involved in the genetic engineering led by the Emperor and made outstanding contributions to the research on the black shell of Space Marines.

The students who followed him were young scholars who came to study under him in the hope of learning the true teachings.

However, it is completely unknown whether the tutor is willing to teach sincerely and how many secrets he will keep after teaching. A relatively kind-hearted mechanical sage like Arkan Rand can teach wholeheartedly, but as far as Luo Xi knows, the old and dying Ezekiel Seidene is not very friendly to his students.

"The extreme dispersion of knowledge has made the establishment of a complete knowledge system a fantasy. Each mechanical priest cherishes his own knowledge and doctrines. Only when knowledge of equal value is exchanged with others can information be exchanged."

All the mechanical priests listened to Luo Xi's words, and no one thought there was anything wrong with what he said. Knowledge is precious and private, and it is the most precious gift of the God of All Machines. How can it be shared with others so easily?
For these believers of Om Messiah, knowledge and STC are more important than their own lives. They are all part of the truth, and life is worthless compared to them.

They tend to be extremely secretive about their own secrets, knowledge and STCs, and then covet the knowledge and treasures of others. Some Mechanic Priests will even murder others and seize their external thought processors and memory storage in order to plunder their knowledge.

"As the initiator of the Advanced Technology Community, I will share all my technology, knowledge, and STC templates. As long as you make enough contributions, such as the STC technology relics that I am missing, you can get the rest."

It is impossible for Luo Xi to do charity, and humans never cherish things that are easily obtained.

He can first open source and share his knowledge, but others must also pay a price and make contributions before they can join in the sharing.

No one had ever done this before, because getting them to share their knowledge and secrets was almost more difficult than killing them.

Luo Xi knew that these mechanical priests, as well as mechanical priests in other parts of the galaxy, must have the missing parts of his technology tree, but they were too fragmented and there was no possibility of them being unified to play a real role.

All he had to do was to leverage the power of all those who seek knowledge, and let them actively collect and contribute technological relics to complete the technology tree that Luo Xi had been working hard to complete.

As the saying goes, many hands make light work. When these mechanical priests tried to exchange for the knowledge and theoretical systems in their respective fields provided by Roche, only Ohm Messiah knew what kind of enthusiasm and drive they would burst out.

Especially for many mechanical priests, the knowledge and STC relics they obtained may not be the types in their own areas of expertise. For example, a mechanical priest in the field of life sciences obtained the STC of a certain ancient war weapon by chance, which was completely useless to him.

However, in the advanced technology community, he can choose to convert it into contribution points and exchange it for the knowledge and technology he urgently needs.

In this way, knowledge circulated, Roche obtained the missing pieces of the puzzle, and contributors obtained the technology they needed. For mankind as a whole, the entire scientific system became a more complete part.

This is the true vision of the organization founded by Luo Xi, to open source knowledge, share it, and then sublimate it again.
