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

Chapter 395 Praise for the Sage Luo Xi (Please subscribe)
The High Technology Community was established under the witness of all the mechanical priests who visited Ganymede. This news will spread rapidly throughout the solar system and even the entire galaxy in the next very short time.

Arkan Rand had not been so excited for a long time. One of the most powerful figures in the Mechanicus, he even expressed optimism that those fools who followed Cable Harr were the ones who missed the real big opportunity.

Did those fools think that by following Kyberhar and founding the Dark Mechanicus, they could arbitrarily unlock the knowledge granted by the Warp, break through the red lines set by the Emperor, and obtain the truth of the God of All Machines?

Wrong, extremely wrong. Making a deal with the subspace will only end up being eaten up without leaving anything behind.

He has foreseen that the Advanced Technology Community will replace the Mechanicus and become the cradle of truly cutting-edge technology.

An organization with a reasonable reward and punishment mechanism, which encourages innovation and scientific research and is as fair and just as possible, is definitely not comparable to the inheritance model of the Mechanicus, where disciples follow their master and apprentice, rely on their own efforts to learn and study, and dig graves everywhere to find lost scientific and technological knowledge.

Whether in terms of size or efficiency, the two are not on the same level.

"I will take the lead and set an example by sharing some of the technologies in the Red Alert database that are suitable for research with the STC. These human heritages from the Golden Age are too attractive to the oilmen who believe in the Om Messiah. There is no way they can refuse them."

"Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to gain knowledge, you must make corresponding contributions. Only then will you be qualified to touch those precious treasures of the God of All Machines."

Luo Xi has already designed a set of organizational operating mechanisms and reward and punishment mechanisms in his mind. He will leave a responsible intelligent computer on Ganymede, and let it make the most fair decision.

The logic of artificial intelligence is rigorous. As long as it is not affected by chaos and corruption, it will not be disturbed by selfishness like humans, and will only firmly execute its underlying code.

At that time, every mechanical priest, or anyone else, who has registered with the Advanced Technology Community will have a personal account that records their respective research areas, personal contribution points, and specific information on the contributed knowledge or STC.

For some contributions that are easier to evaluate, the intelligent brain can make a direct judgment and convert them into contribution points, while some things that are difficult to evaluate will be transferred to the thirteen members for evaluation.

"At that time, we will set up a more detailed ranking system based on the amount of contribution. People with higher ranks can enjoy better treatment and higher levels of authority..."

Mutual benefit and win-win can indeed create greater profits. There are knowledgeable people within the Mechanicus who have proposed this idea, but the prerequisite is that there must be a leader with sufficient strength and prestige to drive the creation of a positive cycle.

The existing treasure trove of science and technology is open to all seekers of knowledge, and the participating researchers can exchange and contribute their own treasures. In this cycle, the database of the advanced technology community will become more and more complete.

However, there is no original sage like Roche in the Mechanicus who holds a large amount of Golden Age heritage in his hands. Even the Forge General does not have such strength.

What's more, people who have such thoughts will never become the Forging General. This position is originally reserved for the most capable and powerful mechanical teaching valve on Mars who controls the largest forging world.

It can be said that compared with Roche, all of their mechanical priests combined are complete paupers.

……

"There is actually a great and selfless Om Messiah believer like Sage Roshi in this world. Praise the God of All Things and Sage Roshi."

"There was no contract with harsh terms, no requirement for me to sell my body and soul, and no one forced me to hand over my research results and put his name on my results!"

The jubilant mechanical priests whispered to each other, and binary encrypted communications flew everywhere in the space. They cheered that a smooth and fair road to heaven had appeared before their eyes, and they were fortunate to be the first registered users of the advanced technology community.

The treasure of Om Messiah is at the end of this road, within easy reach.

All the mechanical priests present, if they are willing, can sign a contract with the Advanced Technology Community and become officially registered users. At the same time, they can also obtain 5 initial contribution points given by the intelligent computer.

With precious contribution points, they could freely select and redeem the knowledge they needed from Ganymede's intelligent database. While five contribution points was a drop in the ocean compared to those precious STCs and cutting-edge research results, it ultimately gave them hope. Before today, unless they had the incredible luck to unearth an STC fragment and use it as a token of their loyalty to a prominent academic, they would likely never have access to truly cutting-edge research theories.

"The key is that these contribution points can still be obtained through some means, and they can even be traded with each other."

Many mechanical priests who had little capital and ability were fascinated by reading the data tablets distributed by the intelligent computer, which recorded some civilian ways to obtain contribution points.

"Participate in the research activities of the advanced technology community, including but not limited to becoming a researcher, and contribute intellectual and time labor. The intelligent brain will automatically reward contribution points according to the time and workload."

"Join the Imperial Army and be responsible for maintaining warships or war vehicles, or rely on your own Skitarii to kill rebels on the battlefield. Contribution points will be automatically converted based on the merits you gain."

The mechanical priests' eyes suddenly turned red, and many of them even cried. The mechanical priests who had not yet replaced their electronic eyes shed tears, while those who had already replaced their mechanical modifications struggled to squeeze out a few drops of engine oil.

"Praise to Sage Roshi. Working in the Advanced Technology Community, they can actually get contribution points as a reward for their labor. Shouldn't we charge them a [knowledge tax] and exploit them instead?"

This is really very conscientious. After all, they are now learning from some prestigious and accomplished predecessors, and they need to hand over materials and resources to them.

Some mechanical priests, who had a considerable number of crusaders under their command, began to excitedly prepare for war. Since the heads of the rebels could be turned into contribution points, then wasn't this naked wealth? !

They themselves had an irreconcilable hatred with the rebels and the Dark Mechanicus. Because of those damn traitors, they were forced to leave their homeland of Mars and flee to Terra like stray dogs.

But now, they were secretly glad that they had come to Terra, otherwise how could they join such a conscientious organization as the Advanced Technology Community.

They are all being exploited, so why not be exploited and served by the higher technology community? It would be an honor!

"Colleague, why are you crying? Are you crying for joy? Is there something wrong with the external thought processor?" Some kind-hearted mechanical priests asked their companions around them in confusion. Although they may not have been familiar with each other before, it didn't matter. Now they were all members of the advanced technology community and were their own people.

The mechanical priest's emotions collapsed even more. He muttered to himself as if he was infected with a garbage virus, saying something that no one could understand.

"No, colleague. My mentor is Ezekiel Seidene. He has just sent us a communication request, ordering us to transfer the contribution points in our hands to him for redistribution."

"5 points. He wants all 5 contribution points?!"

"Ezekiel must be open source!"

The grease man in the genetics lab cursed madly in his heart, but Ezekiel Seidene was right there, so he dared not say anything.

The onlookers immediately looked at him with pity. Following such a mentor was really unlucky. Not only did they not get any benefits, but even the pitiful 5 contribution points were taken away from them.

The advanced technology community cannot possibly intervene in such matters, and they have no way of controlling it.

Ezekiel Seidene could have said that his disciples "voluntarily" handed over the contribution points to him. Could his disciples and apprentices still deny it?

"Praise to Sage Roshi, I don't have such a mentor." The mechanical priests chanted in their hearts, and unknowingly replaced the position of Ohm Messiah with the name of Roshi.

A prophet of the God of All Things who exists in faith and is far away does not seem to be as attractive as a sage who is right in front of him and can pay out real money for knowledge and technology.
