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

Chapter 401 Mind Control Tower (Please subscribe)
Sage Rand revealed some inside stories of the Webway War, and then he laughed long and secretively.

Luo Xi understood that the Emperor bore the greatest responsibility and also kept the most secrets. Since he did not reveal it on his own initiative, it meant that he thought you didn't need to know it at all.

He always does.

No one can truly know all the secrets and intentions of the Master of Mankind, and just when you think you have insight into the Emperor's mind, you discover that you only know the tip of the iceberg.

Not even his most extraordinary creation, his Primarch son.

Except for Dorn and Magnus, the Primarchs did not even know why their fathers left the Great Crusade and returned to Terra. Perhaps only Malcador the Sigillite could access the most in-depth secrets.

"The analysis of the Moravec Cube will be carried out simultaneously with the recovery of the original mother copy. I am quite familiar with this laboratory, so let me use it." Sage Rand said.

An outstanding scientist may not be interested in material wealth, but he will definitely accept cutting-edge precision equipment and laboratories that can help him with his research and learning.

He even felt that the laboratory on Ganymede was more comfortable and convenient than his own laboratory on Terra, not to mention that there was an intelligent computer at the planetary control center to provide him with comprehensive computing services.

Akan Rand has been conducting research for so many years and finally has the opportunity to enjoy the treatment of a scientist in the golden age. Shouldn't he enjoy himself?

"Of course, you can freely use any resources on Ganymede and other planets of the Mechanicus." Luo Xi said, "I will send the stone men I just produced to assist you and participate in scientific research activities together."

"Stone men also need a long period of study. Their learning ability is far superior to that of ordinary humans, and their ability to continuously input knowledge is much stronger than that of humans."

Technological advances during the Golden Age and Dark Age of Technology relied almost entirely on the assistance of stone men and intelligent AIs, which surpassed their creators in this respect.

However, the stone men produced by Roche on Ganymede are obviously far from reaching the level of their predecessors in the past. Each stone man is like a blank hard drive, which requires constant input of corresponding knowledge and continuous learning and evolution in order to master more advanced technology.

Luo Xi asked the stone men to assist Akan Rand, not only to help him speed up the research progress, but also to let the stone men learn some of the knowledge that the master is good at.

This is a mutually beneficial process. Now that the Mechanicus has experienced the Martian Civil War, human resources are extremely scarce. The addition of the Stonemen will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm and will greatly unleash research capabilities.

"By the way." Luo Xi called out to Rand, who was about to start working, and tested him with some curiosity.

"Is the only information contained in Moravec's Cube about strengthening Space Marines?"

He searched his brains for the right words, "Is there anything that can be made quickly and put to use quickly?"

Although the Space Marine reinforcement plan is a good one, it is a huge project that will take a long time to transform, and now is the critical moment when the Empire and the Rebels are fighting.

Roche heard that the Wolf King had left the solar system, and Ryan Johnson led a large imperial army to the Beta Garmon Star Cluster to actively seek war.

The newly appointed Imperial commander seemed to be planning to start a large-scale all-out war with the enemy's main force outside the solar system, weakening and dispersing the enemy's forces as much as possible, dragging the enemy's troops and war machines to death on the journey from the Beta Garmon Cluster to Terra, and continuously bleeding the enemy.

"With Jonson's character, he would never rush in rashly. He would turn the Betagarmon Cluster into the deadly jungle of Caliban, using endless ambushes, traps, divisions, and hunts to kill his prey."

"A lion is always a lion. He is the most skilled hunter. Even if the enemy is strong and he is weak now, it does not affect his hunting skills."

Roxi thought he knew the Lion King quite well. Although he had the bad habit of abusing the Extermination Order, Roxi believed that Ryan would be able to display his due strength in this long-distance duel with Horus.

He did not know much about the art of war, and the most sophisticated tactic he mastered was to arm his troops to the teeth and then send them all onto the battlefield to defeat the enemy with absolute superiority.

The tactic commonly known as F2A is still very effective until the st millennium of mankind.

Sage Rand glanced at Roshi, slightly confused. His hesitation was obvious: "How do you know I have found something? I think I have hidden it well."

Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Luo Xi also laughed out loud.

"Sage, you are not good at hiding your thoughts. If you have any concerns, why not tell me about them?"

"I'm not a dictatorial person." Seeing this, Rand sighed, as if he had made up his mind. He then projected another piece of technological information analyzed from Moravec's Cube onto the holographic projection on the desktop.

"This is an extremely dangerous technological artifact."

What appeared before his eyes was a tall building with a gray-black color mixed with brass. Countless energy veins spread across the surface of the tower like blood vessels.

At the top of the tower, five giant transparent cylinders stood symmetrically, and inside the fluorescent green liquid, some psychics in a coma were floating.

When the holographic projection began to demonstrate the operation of the tower, concrete mental shock waves spread out in circles, creating a powerful mental stance within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

That tower is the source of the spiritual stance. It can extract and amplify the psychic energy of the psychic, thereby releasing a wave that can strengthen the human mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and strengthen the only belief in the heart.

"Moravec named it the Mind Control Tower. It is a dangerous creation that can play with the human mind." Rand said solemnly, his tone full of fear.

"The psychic shock waves it releases can directly enter the brain and influence the neural network, thus leaving a mark of the mind control tower in the brain."

"We can call it a thought stamp. For all humans within the influence range of the master control machine, if they do not take protective measures, the mind control tower will input the set information into their brains. The most basic form of this is mind control."

Control the mind...

Luo Xi also realized why Rand wanted to cover up this information and not let him know.

This technology is too blasphemous and too dangerous. Some psychics do have the ability to control the minds of others and can even erase their consciousness and turn them into advanced puppets similar to servitors.

But even for psychics, this is a difficult operation, and it has extremely high requirements for the mental state and willpower of the controlled person, as well as the psychic strength of the controller.

Some determined Space Marines are completely immune to this kind of invisible and intangible interference, while for mortals with weaker wills, the effect can sometimes be very significant.

The mind control tower recorded in Moravec's Cube is slightly different from the psychic's direct mind control of others.

Its effect is to use psychic power to imprint a mark in the target's brain, constantly reinforcing and amplifying a certain concept. It acts directly on the brain and is not mind control in the standard sense.

In other words, even if the source of psychic energy dissipates, the imprint of thought will not disappear.

Even to the extreme, if you use a mind control tower to implant information into the target such as "people can fly" or "water is highly poisonous", the target will 100% believe the implanted information.

Because the human brain really "believes" this.

Even when the target drinks the water, their bodies will actually react to the extremes of the brain, as if they had taken a highly toxic compound.

But in a flash, Luo Xi also thought of how to use the mind control tower correctly.

This technological creation can enhance the mental resistance of mortals when facing enemies in the Warp, just as the more resolute the will of a warrior is, the longer he can persist when facing the Warp.

Mortals who have their thoughts stamped into their brains and constantly strengthen concepts such as "loyalty" and "rationality" will undoubtedly be able to greatly enhance their ability to resist subspace.

What is even more commendable is that it exerts a wide-range influence, that is, everyone within the set range will be affected by the thought stamp. They will be extremely calm and indifferent, and face the evil power of the Supreme Heaven with the attitude of imperial truth.

"What should I do?"

Luo Xi's mind was in a dilemma, at present the Empire needed this kind of technology that could greatly enhance the Warp resistance of mortal armies, but he was also extremely wary of its power to play with the human brain and mind.

The Mind Stamp is a creation more dangerous than any real weapon. It can directly modify the human brain's reaction mechanism, and the impact it causes is extremely difficult to eliminate.

It is even more vicious than faith. Faith is still a subjective choice of the individual, while the stamp of thought is a real external intervention. It is undoubtedly a double-edged sword, which can hurt oneself if used improperly.
