Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 882: Obtaining the Osiris Dreadnought blueprints, joining the final research and development of the Saturn-type Terminator.

Magnus’s single eye gleamed gold: “Nimrod, Saint Gilles, Chagatai, my brothers.”

“In the past, when psionicists died, they could not continue to serve the Legion like other outstanding Legion warriors, which was a great loss.”

"After research, I finally overcame this problem."

As he spoke, he raised his right arm, and a dazzling light shone from his palm.

A shimmering crown appeared and slowly rotated.

It is covered with layers of runes.

"This psionic shielding crown envelops the wearer's brain, creating a strong defense."

"I call it Ossilone."

"They enable the user to perfectly utilize any psionic spells they are familiar with..."

“A witch’s hat,” Ruth interrupted Magnus’s rambling tale with a mocking tone.

Mortalian's gloomy eyes, hidden behind his breathing mask, stared at the crown that reeked of a foul stench.

His most precious lost trophy—Nekare's pale head—slowly emerged.

"It should be called the Crown of Slavery, where the sinful wizard is imprisoned like a ghost, unable to find peace even in death."

A voice as hard as rock rang out, and Roger Dorn asked bluntly, "Magnus, can you guarantee it's stable?"

“Of course, it has been verified.” Magnus’s eyes slid from gold to blue as he suppressed his rising depression, then turned silver again.

“I am willing to share the design blueprints of the Osiris device with you.” He knew that if he only provided them to the legions, they would suspect that he had ulterior motives.

Magnus’s one eye turned, and his generous gift went unanswered.

Saint-Gilles avoided his gaze, seemingly forgetting that after the "Battle of Cilioret," he contacted him, expressing an urgent need for the think tank to be buried in fearlessness.

He is now Horus's advisor, and once accepted, it will show that the Warmaster supports psionicism.

This will incur strong dissatisfaction from Mortarion, Angron, and Ruth.
As Magnus pondered this, he understood Saint Gilles's predicament.

"I believe you, and I'd be happy to accept this gift."

Magnus's eyes gleamed gold as he looked toward Nimrod.

“Yeshu would be pleased to see this gift; the shamans of the Heavenly Way should not be forgotten,” Chagatai then said.

"I need it too."

Volkan's words drew the attention of the Primarchs, and he addressed his brothers, who were filled with doubt.

"Since the Emperor entrusted me with the task of re-equipping the Saturn-type Terminator with the various legions, I have been working hard for it."

“I have developed a prototype, and it has already been deployed in small numbers in my legions and the ‘Shadow of Order’.”

He looked at Ning Lu.

“Ninglu, I think you know from Rosicky that all the other problems have been solved, except for one key issue that is preventing it from being converted from a prototype into a standard-issue machine.”

"That is because the Fibian technology used by the Saturn-type Terminator is very different from Martian technology. Its unique interface system can only be manufactured and equipped in the Fibian region."

“I have been trying to break through this limitation until recently when I discovered that its unique interface system is very similar to several psionic control devices found in the Great Expedition.”

Vokan looked at Magnus. "So, I need your help now."

“You and your offspring are skilled in the use of psionic energy, and you can help me find a way to mass-produce the Phibian device.”

Upon hearing this, Ninglu immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

What Vokán said has always been a constraint faced by the "shadow of order".

Although Rosicky Cech led the "mechanical experts" to create replacements for the Fibian device, each one was painstakingly crafted by the "mechanical experts" and could only be equipped by mentally strong extraordinary individuals. This limited the equipment of the Saturn-type Terminator and the Saturn-type Dreadnought. Nimrod's brain spun rapidly, recalling memories.

He recalled that Vokhan dispatched the "Fire Keepers" to the Kolane-Far End system, the edge of the "Great Vortex" region of the Extreme Starfield, in 002, to work with the psionic artisans of the "Thousand Sons" to manufacture and test the Saturn-type terminator.

The Korane-Distant Galaxy is an extremely special region of space within the "Great Vortex" region. Located in the most remote area of ​​the Korane Ring, it is a stable world in the real world of the subspace rift, unaffected by etheric tidal fluctuations.

Thousands of years ago, an unknown alien race established a mysterious network of structures on the planet's surface to protect it from invasions from the warp.

During the grand birthday celebration, while the subspace storm affecting the entire galaxy and the "destructive storm" created by Loga in the extreme star field stirred up a terrifying wave in the "Great Vortex" and destroyed all the surrounding star systems, the Corane-Distant Star System remained intact.

The "White Scar" and the "Thousand Sons" have established a joint research outpost at the edge of the galaxy to analyze the energy flow of the "Great Vortex" and to serve as a storage and research site for psionic items.

Ninglu knew that this outpost was the third largest storage location for psionic items, after Prospero and Hathor Matt's Aksandria IV.

It can also be considered the third most valuable psionic research base among the "Thousand Sons".

Even after the "Nicaea Prohibition" was issued, the outpost continued to operate, and most of the psionicists and psionic artisans who had nowhere else to go in the Empire went to the outpost.

On the surface, the research has nothing to do with the disbanded think tank program, but in reality, the think tanks of "Thousand Sons" and "White Scar" are still conducting research on psionic energy here.

Meanwhile, the final development of the Saturn-type Terminator was also underway.

I must join in; the Corane-Distant Galaxy is a treasure trove.

Saturn-type Terminator manufacturing technology, Xenomorph construction technology to protect structures from warp invasion, "Vortex" energy flow data, psionic relics...

Even the Thousand Sons and psionicists who had nowhere to go after the grand birthday celebration, as well as the White Scar and Salamander researchers, were affected, since the Corane-distant system, though surviving, was isolated from the outside world.
Thinking of this, Nimrod suppressed his desire to seize the treasure and spoke to Vokan and Magnus.

"Rosicky has been involved in the development of the Saturn-type Terminator, and my legion has also used the prototype in actual combat on the battlefield."

“I also discovered several similar devices during my journey, and my think tanks have also conducted some research on them.”

“I will send them to join the research.”

Vokan's eyes blazed with excitement. "Great! With your help, the Saturn-type Terminator will definitely be successfully developed."

Magnus's eyes darted around, looking toward Chagatai.

“I have a suitable research base.”

He saw Chagatai nod in agreement and continued.

"I will send you the coordinates."

Nimrod's obsidian eyes gleamed, already seeing the radiant light of the Kolane-distant galaxy.

After ending his psionic projection and returning to the Shadow of Thrones, he smiled as he went back to his office, stepping out into the "Land of Chaos".

Nimrod's spirituality spread, touching the spiritual orbs of the Forge Master Rosicky Cech and the tech-savvy psionic Miguel Cuesta, pulling the two "astronomers" into the "Land of Chaos."

"My lord."

After the two bowed, he gave his instructions.

"You shall proceed immediately to Caligum Gate and prepare to travel to the 'Great Vortex' in the Kolane-distant system to join the final development of the Saturn-type Terminator."

"Follow Your will."

After sending the two back to the real world, Ninglu then spread his spirituality and issued three orders in succession.

Lord Santiago Bergkamp of the Fifth Chapter dispatched "travelers" to the research station to observe, record, and analyze the "Great Vortex."

Lord Per Koscielny of the Eleventh Warband dispatched the "Corrupted Baron" as a guard, but in reality, he was "corrupting" him.

Pastor Pat dispatched a "Dream Walker" pastor to accompany the team and modify the researchers' subconscious.

He wants everything: planets, research stations, buildings, technology, goods, people, and data.
