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

Chapter 488 Iron Man Planet (Please subscribe)

In the center of the Mechanicus support fleet, the huge celestial body temporarily named Iron Man Planet is transforming according to Roche's will.

Countless industrial iron men walked out of the newly built foundry. They had completely different body structures to adapt to the production work requirements in different environments.

Some are more suitable for working deep underground, so they are relatively shorter and more flexible; while others need to undertake the task of factory construction, and they have a huge body comparable to knight mechas and can move heavy materials on their own.

Huge material transportation platforms are built at an incredible speed thanks to the efforts of the Iron Men. They will drill into the ground and collect various mineral resources like countless capillaries.

After being purified and refined at the ore refining center, these raw materials are transported to manufacturing plants to replicate industrial iron men and various large-scale and efficient production equipment.

Even rocks can be converted into metal materials through heavy nuclear fusion. You know, those reactors can even burn rocks and convert them into energy.

Any waste of materials is a luxury, and extreme efficiency is transforming all materials into usable war resources.

Compared with humans, iron men can perform production tasks around the clock. They don't get tired, don't complain, and are not afraid of accidents in dangerous working environments.

Such a large-scale transformation of the planet will inevitably bring about various geological disasters and dangers. Even iron men will encounter dangers, such as being buried and squeezed by the sudden collapse of geological layers, or failures in the operation of production equipment.

The most basic industrial ironman has only simple consciousness and can perform some relatively fixed production operations without the remote control of the node ironman.

Even if their bodies are damaged beyond repair, their consciousness can be uploaded to the node iron man's processor and injected into the newly produced blank bodies in the foundry.

The node iron men control other iron men around them, and these node iron men are directly influenced by the planet's main control brain. Strictly speaking, they have a common will and thinking.

Industrial iron men have an extremely simple body structure. They are born for production, and under the calculation and simulation of the intelligent brain, they have abandoned all unnecessary, inefficient and redundant designs.

There are so many of them. The number of these simple-structured guys has soared to millions, and they are transforming the planet like industrious worker ants.

The ultimate goal of this planet is to produce war-type iron men, based on the universal iron man originally designed by Roche, and then to carry out specialized modifications for various war environments.

The foundry is running non-stop, with a large number of war-type iron men lying on the production line. In addition to the integrated alloy skeleton, other structures and details are manufactured with the help of the printing device.

Various energy cables and electronic nervous systems were implanted into it, and then powerful electronic muscle bundles and other transmission systems grew out like flesh and blood.

Hard alloy armor covered the Iron Man's body, and finally the main control brain initialized the protocol for it, enabling it to have the ability to access the main control brain and scan its own body.

Iron Man is able to transform his physical condition into a visual virtual panel to monitor the extent of physical damage, energy reserves, weapon operation, etc. in real time during combat missions.

They are larger than Space Marines, and their bodies are made of high-strength alloys with additional armor added to key locations such as the energy source and the thinking core in the head.

Even the high-powered bombs unleashed by the Space Marines' bolters can be effectively defended by the War Iron Man.

These iron men can freely switch between arc weapons, Gauss weapons or melta weapons that have extremely strong lethality to heavily armored units according to the needs of the war. For close combat, they are also equipped with power weapons similar to those of Space Marines.

On the Iron Man Planet, tens of thousands of these most widely applicable war-type Iron Men have been produced. They are now quietly sleeping in war bases and space battleships, ready to be deployed to the battlefield at any time.

……

The rebels had not yet heard of Roche's imminent arrival at the battlefield, but at this moment Betagarmone had already become a mess, with the imperial army and the rebels fighting each other.

In such a chaotic situation, no one realized whether the empire would have follow-up forces to provide support.

At the outermost edge of the battlefield, the Thousand Sons Legion's Brilliant Light and the Iron Warriors Legion's Iron Blood were cruising in this star field. The former chose to avoid the battle directly, while the latter learned its lesson after being badly tricked once.

Rather than risking their lives for Horus, it was better to take care of themselves first. Compared to the united Imperial Fleet, the various Legions under Horus's command had already begun to split, each with their own distinct demands and objectives, which erupted directly in times of crisis.

"Those simple-minded but strong-limbed reckless men of the Iron Warriors have learned to be smart, but it's a pity that there is one less person they can exploit."

The chief wizard Azak Ahriman smiled at his brother. He felt no shame for betraying the son of Perturabo. As long as he could save himself, it would be fine even if everyone else died.

"We are here to assist the Warmaster remotely and have completed the mission assigned to us by the Primarch. We have done our best. Every Thousand Son is precious. We cannot be compared to those short and stocky guys who grow up one after another."

There is an overbearing arrogance in the words of the Thousand Sons. Every Thousand Sons Astartes is a psyker. They are the descendants of the Scarlet King, and the seekers and spokespersons of knowledge and truth.

The Iron Blood followed the Brilliant Light from a distance, but did not dare to get too close, presenting an ambiguous attitude.

"But why do I feel a little uneasy? This is not normal." The chief wizard thought to himself.

Ahriman is a powerful psyker second only to Magnus, and the leader of the School of the Raven. For him, predicting the future is a piece of cake.

He also believed in his premonition very much, and immediately began to use his psychic power to seek answers about the future from the subspace.

The souls of the captive human slaves were extracted by Ahriman's psychic power, and they were blown away by the wind like grains of sand, while the suffering souls were led to the chief wizard, who was casting a powerful psychic spell.

The other Thousand Sons waited patiently for Ahriman's predicted results. They had great trust in this Templar lecturer of the School of the Black Crow. As the school that was best at predicting the future, they could always guide the Legion in the darkness.

Ahriman is an outlier among the Thousand Sons Legion. His love for his legion surpasses that of all his brothers, and this love even surpasses his respect for the Primarch.

It was for this reason that Ahriman did not hesitate to let the Iron Blood be his scapegoat when the Legion's flagship was in danger.

The Thousand Sons Legion has been dwindling in numbers due to severe flesh and blood mutations, and Azak Ahriman has been desperately seeking a way to redeem himself.

What few people know is that on the eve of the Great Heresy, the Black Crow School's ability to predict the future became increasingly weak due to certain factors, so that the school once declined.

However, at the end of the Burning of Prospero, when Magnus and his descendants accepted the invitation of the Lord of Change, the Black Crows regained their original ability to predict the future, and it was even more powerful than before.

Ahriman's psychic sorcery communicated with the subspace, and his soul transcended time, quickly watching scenes of the future.

He saw that in some timelines, the Blackstone Fortress defeated Lion's two celestial warships, Horus' army wiped out the Empire's expeditionary fleet, and reached Terra with great momentum.

In some timelines, Horus lost all his war fleets under the siege of the Lion and had to flee into the Eye of Terror in the hope of making a comeback in the future.

Tens of thousands of futures appeared before Ahriman's eyes, and he needed to find the one with the highest probability, while the others were nothing but interference and misleading.

Ahriman never worshipped Tzeentch, or any Chaos God for that matter.

He believed only in his own power and knowledge, but he also knew that since Magnus made a deal with the Lord of Change, they could no longer break away from the Warp.

"The future, what exactly is it about the future that worries me?"

Just when the chief wizard was about to discover the future that made him uneasy, an unknown will in the warp space suddenly blew silently.

He obscured Ahriman's vision, causing him to believe that nothing would happen in the future.

An invisible evil laugh sounded in the sea of ​​souls, and then disappeared.
