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

Chapter 394 The Sage Council is established (seeking follow-up)
Luo Xi has no interest in power.

He didn't want to be the Forge General of the Mechanicus. Instead, this position, which allowed him to command all members of the Mechanicus, analyze and read all the knowledge systems of the Mechanicus, and remotely control thousands of Forge Worlds in the universe, was a burden to him.

If he was really interested in these, then he would not have given the Mustafar Forge World directly to the old man Baker Dylan. It was a planet with an industrial capacity comparable to that of Huangquan No. 8, Shana and other forge worlds, but such a thing was not very valuable to him.

When he looked at the problem from the perspective of humanity as a whole, Roche was deeply disappointed with the current state of the Mechanicus, humanity's largest scientific and technological preservation and research institution to date.

He could even tolerate the Mechanicus's religious worship of scientific knowledge, but he could not tolerate them putting it on the shelf and hoarding it for themselves.

Most of the mechanics are as stingy with knowledge as the legendary dragons. They would rather hide the STC in their own laboratories or safes, and then admire and observe it over and over again, just like a dragon counting those precious gold and silver treasures.

Even some precious relics of ancient knowledge and technology, which had clearly been excavated and reappeared in the world, were once again lost and buried due to the death or disappearance of the discoverers.

"This is a great breakthrough, Sage Roshi. Perhaps your breakthrough can really lead us to new glory." Akan Rand said sincerely. He laughed so loudly that even the wig on his head shook.

“In fact, it’s not that no one has thought about reforming the Mechanicus, but every move of this huge organization will cause a stir in the galaxy.

No one has the ability or the will to promote the Mechanicus's reforms. After all, this will affect the interests of countless people, and they will probably be shot dead by eight plasma bullets from behind. "

"The former Cable Hart may have had this ability, but he was a hypocritical and ambitious guy. He was indeed a super genius, but he had no respect for technology and progress."

Rand also took advantage of the establishment of the Advanced Technology Community to begin telling some secrets of the past.

It is about the Emperor's coming to Mars and the undercurrents within that ancient planet and Order.

"When the Emperor came to us, we all believed that he was the prophet of the God of All Things, Om Messiah, whom we believed in. But Kyberhar was different. He believed that the Emperor was just an invader, a liar, and a false god. He wanted to enslave the priests of Mars with lies to gain power."

"Two centuries after the signing of the Olympian Agreement, Kyberhar became the Forge General due to his outstanding performance and owned Mount Olympus, the largest forging world on Mars."

Luo Xi deeply agreed that this kind of person who endures silently is often the most terrifying. He buried all his regrets and resentments deep in his heart, which continued to swell and fester for two centuries until he turned his hatred into a terrible betrayal.

He must prevent this situation from happening again. Someone like the Casting General, who is capable of acting arbitrarily, should not appear in the high-tech community.

He hoped that it would develop into an academic organization rather than a political entity similar to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

"I will establish basic logical charters for the advanced technology community to prevent possible tendencies towards dictatorship and extremism," Roche said to Rand.

He brought a large group of mechanical priests to a huge conference hall in the planet's control center.

Here, thirteen seats in Martian red mixed with cobalt blue have already been set up in the center of the conference hall.

Outside of these thirteen seats are circles of ordinary seats shaped like conic sections.

Akan Rand looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart suddenly moved, realizing the rules that Luo Xi was going to announce next.

This newly born school organization will elect a group of people who can speak on its behalf.

This means enormous power and status. Having a seat here may have an influence even more terrifying than that of a great sage.

Luo Xi was not humble either, and took the lead and sat in the center of the thirteen senior seats.

There are twelve of these seats made of adamantium alloy left.

"Everyone, in order to better manage the Advanced Technology Community, I will select twelve members from the Mechanicus, and I will personally name it the Sage Council."

Except for Luo Xi, the others have not yet taken their seats, but everyone already knows that Akan Rand and Ezekiel Seidene will definitely have a seat.

"The Sage Council governs and manages the Advanced Technology Community. When faced with important decisions, each council member has a crucial vote, and the Speaker has two votes." "The Sage Council needs to review all innovations and improvements within the Advanced Technology Community. We are all aware of the threat that the Warp poses to innovation, and this is necessary."

Rand nodded in deep agreement. One of the important reasons why the Mechanicus was so afraid of innovation was that in this world, innovation could be toxic, and sometimes a flash of inspiration could lead to terrible consequences.

A strict and complete review mechanism can undoubtedly minimize the possibility of problems and make innovation and progress as harmless as possible.

"But how can we ensure that we can screen out potential Warp corruption? It is difficult to detect, Sage Roshi." Someone asked immediately.

But Luo Xi had already come up with a solution for this.

"You may not understand this yet, but the anti-warp stance of Blackstone that we have now is already very effective. By then, I will cover the entire planetary control center in an anti-warp stance, and any review and inspection will be isolated from the influence of the warp."

Roche once again used the Black Stone Technique. The Necrons' stuff was indeed useful and could block the pervasive Warp erosion.

"Secondly, all innovations and breakthroughs must be reviewed by thirteen councillors and receive two-thirds of the votes of approval before they can be officially implemented. These thirteen councillors are all recognized Mechanicus sages. They can use their experience to discover hidden dangers and threats as much as possible."

The review mechanism envisioned by Roche is almost extremely strict in order to prevent the Chaos corruption of the subspace, but it is necessary in order to strike a balance between progress and safety.

After explaining the importance of the seat, Luo Xi also began to announce the list of members of the first Council of Sages.

He didn't like to be autocratic, but the organization was just established and everything needed to be tested and improved. Moreover, with a powerful enemy at the door, he didn't have the time and energy to hold democratic elections.

Those political games played in peacetime only lead to endless wrangling and inefficiency today.

"Arcan Rand."

Sage Rand immediately picked a seat and sat down next to Luo Xi.

This super genius, one of the most outstanding in the Mechanicus, was considered to have abilities and talents that even surpassed those of Kyber Har. If it were not for his personality, he would have been a strong contender for the position of Forge General.

"Ezekiel Seidene."

The master of the genetics school, who was lying on a suspended vehicle, came to his seat under the protection of his disciples.

There was a slight annoyance on the old man's face. Arkan Rand was actually ranked ahead of him, which made the sage who claimed to have served the Emperor the longest feel dissatisfied.

However, he still accepted the seat. Compared with these, he hoped to find technology in the Advanced Technology Community that could prolong his life. He also hoped to serve the Emperor forever.

"..."

"Bucker Dylan."

Roche read out the names of the members of the Council of Sages that he had selected. There were twelve Mechanicus Sages other than him. They were all authorities in their respective fields, but only Rand and Ezekiel were present at the scene.

As for that old fellow Buckle Dylan, although he is not in Terra, he represents the Mechanicus power of the entire Five Hundred Worlds, and his influence may not be inferior to that of the Mechanicus.

All the mechanical priests watched this historic moment, and they desperately used various recording devices to record this moment.

There is no doubt that the scene they are witnessing now will be an important research material for future generations. The birth of the behemoth Advanced Technology Community may also inspire many Mechanicus sages to study history.

Luo Xi sat in the central seat of the parliament, looking at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Yes, he did it, integrating the behemoth of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and next he will command this behemoth and better arm the human empire with technology and knowledge.
