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

Chapter 402: Thought Seal (Request for Subscription)

The existence of the Mind Control Tower is undoubtedly a very powerful trump card. It can forcibly unite the will of mankind, eliminate all human doubts and weaknesses, and make the people of the empire fight like cold-blooded machines.

"There are currently hundreds of billions of imperial troops gathered in the solar system, and the vast majority of them are mortal auxiliary troops from various worlds, as well as civilians or merchants who have taken refuge here."

"Not everyone has an absolute resistance to the enemy, sage. When the number of humans reaches a certain level, there will inevitably be resistance, neutrality, and compromise and surrender."

Luo Xi stared into the light green eyes of Sage Rand with a stern expression.

"I understand that our actions may be blaspheming humanity and manipulating the only remaining free will of humanity, but both you and I understand that we have no choice."

Rand instinctively wanted to persuade Roche that if this technology was misused, it would cause terrible consequences, as it was a manipulation of human thinking.

But he then reacted and realized that it seemed that anyone could say such things except the Mechanicus. The large number of demented servitors used within the Mechanicus alone was an even more extreme blasphemy against humanity.

In the past, in order to avoid the use of artificial intelligence creations, the Mechanicus promoted servitors, a type of creation transformed from humans, on a large scale.

After a special brain surgery, the robot servants whose frontal lobes were removed have been deprived of most of their sanity. Some of them are criminals who have committed serious crimes, and some are clones produced in laboratories.

But whether the Empire used innocent civilians to create mechanical servants is an extremely sensitive topic. Although the Mechanicus has completely denied it, Roche has seen countless times in investigation reports from various places about the ugly things that the Mechanicus did to humans after collecting population taxes.

No matter how it is whitewashed, the Mechanicus, like the Empire, is a merciless and evil political entity. The advanced yet primitive technology of the Mechanicus often requires a terrifying price to be paid before it can be used.

However, it is this rigid scientific organization full of religious ignorance that searches for and protects the lost human technology and knowledge after the Dark Age of Technology. The priests of the Mechanicus have no mercy on mortals, and are ruthless to themselves.

In order to protect the extremely precious scientific and technological knowledge, they can pay any price, including their own.

Rand was silent. He held his head with both hands, feeling the beating of the blood vessels in his head.

The warm surging blood made him feel that his blood was still hot, and he was not yet an extremely cold-blooded person.

"Sage, the empire has reached the most critical moment. The rebels are about to arrive at the city. Although we have organized forces to fight back, no one knows what the outcome will be."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. As long as I can tip the balance of this war towards the Empire even a little bit, I will do it."

"We need to unify everyone's will. In order to win this war in front of the Warp, we must strengthen the will of all mortal armies to resist the Warp. Not everyone is loyal enough to be unshakable, and the Thought Seal can make up for this."

Luo Xi did not lie or exaggerate.

Even though the reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds, more than 100,000 Astartes and a huge war fleet have arrived in the solar system, no one can say they are safe when facing Horus, who was chosen by the four gods.

In fact, Roche's mentality, which had improved slightly, took a sharp turn for the worse after meeting the Emperor.

In the future that the Emperor saw, he would have to fight an extremely sad father-son battle with Horus no matter what. Does this mean that the Rebels have a way to break through the defenses and reach the Throne World directly?

Luo Xi could only keep piling up chips on his table and make more preparations to face the enemy.

"If I were Horus, the hundreds of billions of mortals gathered within the solar system would be a perfect opportunity to break through. I could simply dispatch a psychic force into the system and, with the help of these mortal souls, unleash the vicious Warp curse ritual." "The mortal auxiliary army is a force we must master, but it's also a weak point that the enemy could easily exploit and break through. Do you understand what I mean, Sage Rand?"

Akan Rand's face was heavy. He was an optimist and always used to looking at things from the bright side, but his brain told him that naked rationality was the best solution.

Seeing that the Mechanicus sage in front of him was persuaded by him, Luo Xi also began to strike while the iron was hot.

"I once heard a quote from a veteran who survived the war: If the caliber of the cannon is not large enough, the flower of peace will not bloom brightly."

"We must be cold-blooded and rational enough so that the people of the empire will have the opportunity to rebuke us. If we choose to be weak, then they can only eat the corpses in the ruins. How can they have time to rebuke us?"

Luo Xi raised his voice to the maximum, almost in the form of a roar.

"I have to make this decision. If someone hates me, curses me, or even wants to kill me, then let them come to me. I only do what I think is right. If this is a necessary evil, then I will do it."

There was a struggle flashing in the eyes of Rand Sage. In fact, few people knew that in addition to the Land Raider series of war vehicles, he also had the Rand series of agricultural and industrial production vehicles.

What he was truly proud of was never the weapons of war that took human lives.

"You are right, Sage Roshi. It is foolish to talk about humanity and human rights at the moment of life and death. Only those who survive are qualified to make choices."

Luo Xi finally smiled, he realized that he had convinced this giant of the Mechanicus and the Advanced Technology Community.

Orders under the suppression of power are fragile. Roche does not want to cause dissatisfaction among this extremely important scientist. It is better for the contradiction to break out than to hide under the scar and slowly fester.

"I need you to analyze it quickly, and with the help of the mature automated productivity on Ganymede, deploy mind control towers on every planet and every warship in the solar system."

The mind control tower conceived by Moravec does not have a ready-made STC template to use, but with the industrial power of Ganymede, it is not particularly difficult to build such a technological creation.

"Regarding the issue of ideological stamps, I still need to discuss with the think tank and the primarchs, but the general principle is that ideological stamps must be as concise as possible and must not be abused or misused."

On the issue of designing the content of the ideological seal, Luo Xi must consult with the seal holders and the primarchs. Any rash action will lay the groundwork for future threats.

"I understand. This won't take long." Sage Rand said, and immediately led his disciples to the work of analyzing and manufacturing the mind control tower.

Looking at this scene, Luo Xi also smiled sincerely.

The establishment of the Advanced Technology Community has brought him so much good news. This organization, which has liberated the backward technological productivity of the Mechanicus, will bring more scientific and technological achievements like a blowout.

The Mind Control Tower and Space Marine Reinforcement are just the first, but definitely not the last.

It is foreseeable that as long as the Empire does not perish under the fire of Horus' betrayal, this vibrant organization will continue to shine in the years to come.
