But strangely, as time went on, more and more supporters of the Imperial Truth were sent to prison, but the prisons on Fallaia, which were already few in number, were never expanded.

The Anglicans generally believed that the dark cells deep underground had become the tombs of heretics, so they praised the new governor's piety and nobility. Russell did not explain the whereabouts of these people.

Four years passed by like a dream. In the fifth year after Grey Wind came to Faya, six complete teams of Cyberlux combat units were assembled on the First Moon and sent to the hangar of the Grey Goo mothership.

It was also in this year that Russell finally let go and approved the Machina Society's persistent research application on this "golden age of human heritage".

Following the issuance of this warrant, a large number of transport ships that had been repaired or newly built entered the orbit of the First Moon, and countless grassroots technicians and technical priests were eagerly waiting on the ships.

At this time, Gauss, who already holds a high position in the Faya Mechanical Repair Society, is standing on the side of his ship, the "Perpetual Motion Gear" armored ship, looking through the porthole at the huge Gray Gu battleship anchored on the back of the first moon, and his heart is extremely excited.

After spending four years digesting the several technologies that Russell had previously shared with him, Gauss deeply realized how precious the countless ancient technologies carried on this ship were.

At this moment, the door of the treasury was about to open, and he had obtained permission to take away several precious gems.

"In fact, in the hangar of this battleship, there is a group of ancient Titan troops sleeping. Their structure is extremely advanced and completely different from the current Imperial Titans. They should be worth studying for you."

"I have recently obtained the right to activate them, and have specifically allowed you to call upon enough transport ships to transport these divine machines from the hangar for research. Don't let me down."

These are Russell... No, these are the original words of the messenger sent by the God of All Things, the great Governor Faya, His Highness Russell!

Whenever they think of these generous words, Gauss and his technicians are moved to tears.

But even at such a historic moment, Russell was not present. When the mechanical repair was flying out of space, the hardworking governor was still reviewing documents in the Governor's Palace on the surface of Fallas.

Gray Wind, dressed as an Anglican nun, sat on the sofa, swinging her legs, and out of boredom, she turned one of her hands into a tentacle and then back again, and then into the claws of some beast, back and forth. The biodiversity on this planet is not very good, and she couldn't find the materials after playing for a while, so she was so bored that she had to lie on the table and watch Russell flip through the documents.

"Marshal, the transport ship of the Mechanical Society is approaching me." Huifeng said softly, picked up an apple pear on the table and took a bite, making a crisp sound.

"Well, you should pay more attention to the camouflage work and don't let them find any traces of mining on the First Moon." Russell spoke without raising his head.

"Don't worry. A transport ship that is not equipped with sufficiently advanced detectors will not be able to see through the three-dimensional camouflage set up on the surface of the first moon."

Grey Wind chewed the fruit pulp with the skin on, but the syllables of his words were still clear. "Rather than the discovery of the arsenal, I think you should be more worried about me. The way those half-human, half-mechanical technology fanatics look at me now is like Gollum watching The Lord of the Rings. I am a little worried that they will rush up to me and cry loudly, crying and laughing... or something like that."

It had heard Russell tell stories about the Lord of the Rings, and also remembered that when Russell handed over the two technologies of "solid-state holographic molding" and "nano-separator" to the Mechanical Engineering Association last year, Gauss's reaction was like this, which was creepy.

"No, the Mechanicus will not forcefully land on you. I have specifically warned them." Russell put down the documents in his hand, raised his head, and smiled at Grey Wind: "If you find a transport ship trying to dock in the hangar, just open fire and sink it."

Huifeng nodded, put the remaining fruit core in his hand into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

Russell generally fooled the mechanical society like this:

He told Gauss that he only had partial control over the ancient battleship. Now he had only unlocked the power section and the hangar where the Titans were parked. The other sections of the battleship were still in a state of alert with no access allowed. Once approached, they would be attacked by the automatic defense system.

Of course, this trivial matter that threatens one's life cannot scare the oil men who regard knowledge as their life. They will most likely rush up without caring about their lives under the firepower.

So Russell added another sentence later:

"If the battleship's main brain determines that it cannot prevent the intruder from entering the hull, it will start running the self-destruct program."

In this way, the mentality of this group of technology fanatics was finally stabilized, allowing them to concentrate on studying the various new technologies given by Russell and wait until the combat unit was completed.

Gray Wind turned over and lay down on the sofa: "Let's start the handover, Marshal."

At this moment, in the dark space on the back of the first moon, a number of armored transport ships formed a triangular formation on the side of the Gray Gu mothership, turned on the void shield and sailed forward.

Gauss's vehicle, the "Perpetual Motion Gear", was at the front of the formation. He sat in the control room with a tense expression. His original eyes and prosthetic eyes stared nervously at the beautiful shell covering the side of the battleship on the screen in front of him.

The door of the side hangar slowly opened. With the help of the light of the stars, Gauss looked behind the door. He would be the first to take over this great legacy from the Golden Age.

Chapter 13 Seekers of Knowledge

As the hatch opened, Gauss saw a huge machine as majestic as a mountain and as shocking as a great abyss. It was slowly driving out of the hangar, pushed by a few insignificant flame tails.

The flame tails were from several small thrusters the size of ordinary land transport trucks, located on the shoulders, sides, and legs of the aircraft. Such thrusters were tiny compared to the huge aircraft they were pushing, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were like an ant trying to shake a tree.

The scary thing is, it really shook, and the driving speed was not slow.

Ultraviolet rays slowly climbed up its shoulders along the silver-white seamless armor on the outside of the machine, refracting dazzling light.

This machine is humanoid like a regular Imperial Titan, the only difference is that this Titan from the Dark Age of Technology does not carry a church, nor does it have the iconic Imperial double-headed eagle, nor does it have the skull-shaped design that represents human purity. The difference between the two lies in the difference in design concepts.

The design concept of Imperial Titans has only two dimensions:

Firepower and defense.

Mobility is solved by short-distance space transmission devices and recklessness. The main goal is to blow you up before you blow me up, and you can't blow me up before I blow you up.

This design concept of stacking firepower and armor has resulted in the Imperial Titan, whether it is the largest Emperor class or the relatively small Warhound class, giving people a heavy and sluggish feeling in appearance and movement, even though its actual movements are not slow.

The design concept of the Cyberlux battle body is extremely utilitarian to an unreasonably rational degree. The entire body does not have even a centimeter of excess armor, nor is there any unprotected active node.

The shoulders, hands, head, waist, knees, and every part that can be used to fight the enemy are filled with weapon mounting slots, highlighting a ruthlessness and efficiency-first character.

If the Imperial Titan is a simple heavy tank, it can destroy everything in its path, charge forward under the pouring firepower and dominate the battlefield.

Then the Cyberlux battle body is more like a perfectly designed war machine. While retaining sufficient defense, it uses all the energy that the engine can provide to maximize firepower output, leaving no redundancy for emergencies.

This design...

"So beautiful……"

Gauss fell to his knees, tears filling his only remaining eye.

Besides the ecstasy, there were also some happy worries. The huge size and number of the war bodies made the transport ships prepared by the Mechanical Society useless.

Faya's resources are limited, and the current capabilities of the Mechanical Society can only barely transport small Warhound-class Titans, while the specifications of the Cyberlux Battle Body are much higher than this level. The only one that can surpass it in size and firepower is the legendary highest level of Titan: the Emperor class.

In other words, the Cyberlux's body specifications should be roughly equivalent to the Empire's Admiral-class Titan, the second largest model after the Emperor-class.

This kind of powerful weapon usually appears in Apocalypse-level battles. Even the technical priests of the Forge World rarely come into contact with it, not to mention the technicians on Faya who have never seen the world. Now only Gauss can barely maintain his sanity in ecstasy, and does not rush at full power like the other transport ships behind the team, impatiently rushing towards the huge machines outside the hangar that they cannot move or transport at all.

Because he knew that he did not have enough transportation capacity to bring this combat body back to the surface of Faya.

And from the already opened hangar door, combat aircraft were still being deployed out.

From a common sense point of view, Gauss should go back now to spur the mines in the southern continent to increase production wildly, spend several years building a large transport ship capable of carrying the Warlord-class Titan, and then return here to take the war bodies away in batches.

But in front of these stunningly beautiful machines, he was unwilling to wait even for a few seconds, let alone several years.

"If the Governor can allow me to dock my fleet in the hangar, I can directly build a research station inside the ship. As for the defense system... I, I guarantee it with my life, and swear in the name of the God of All Machines that I will never leave the hangar and enter other sections! Yes, this should be able to convince the Governor..."

The strong desire gave the oil man powerful execution power. After this idea came to him, he immediately connected the communication to the Governor's Palace.

Then, as expected, it was rejected.

Under Gray Wind's strong request of "not wanting anyone to come in", Russell did not agree to Gauss's request.

But he seemed to have prepared an alternative plan - he directly sent the design of a space fortress to the Perpetual Gear. As for the source of this design, it was still attributed to the Dark Technology Age.

The Governor General suggested that Gauss build a large space station directly in orbit of Faya that would combine a research station and a fleet anchorage.

And what a coincidence, this space fortress has now completed the first phase of construction in the Falla orbit.

The skeleton of this space fortress is highly compatible. The Mechanical Repair Society only needs to make some relatively minor modifications to its transport ships, combat ships, research ships and other ships. They can then install the hulls themselves as modules with different functions onto the already built space station framework and complete the construction of this star fortress as quickly as possible.

After the star fortress is built, the war bodies can be directly loaded into the larger space station hangar, which is undoubtedly the best way for them to quickly obtain the site conditions for studying these ancient Titans.

Although he vaguely felt that something seemed wrong, Gauss still relayed this proposal to several other technical priests with great emotion.

After a not-so-intense discussion, it was passed unanimously.

Afterwards, the transport fleet led by the Perpetual Gear turned back and rushed to the star fortress frame in the Faya orbit. At the same time, countless technicians in the starport on the ground were busy modifying the ships that were about to fly out of orbit. The Mechanical Repair Association began to promote this huge project with all its strength.

The construction progress of the space station, which had just started, was shortened to the point of being completed.

While things were going on in orbit, Russell was dealing with the various daily matters that a planetary governor had to deal with on the ground as usual.

These tedious tasks actually didn't consume much of his energy as a psychic, but they helped him create the image of a responsible leader. He would slack off during the day and tell stories to Gray Wind at night, and the peaceful time would pass day by day in an orderly manner.

Thanks to the dedicated work of the technical priests and technicians, the "Seekers" space station finally completed its final assembly after six Terra months.

The core framework and energy system of the space station were provided by Russell, and the rest of the main modules were divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The middle layer was the widest hangar module, the top layer was the living and research area for the mechanical repair personnel, and the bottom layer had a space anchorage for the fleet.

The Cyberlux combat unit consists of three machines. In the past four years, a total of six teams with 3 machines have been built. They are now parked in the hangar module of the Seekers space station.

Chapter 14 Waaagh

!!!

In order to protect these precious machines and their own research, the Mechanical Society deployed almost all of its heavy firepower macro cannons on the space station, and Russell also sent 6 free ion cannons up. The powerful three-dimensional firepower, coupled with thick armor and large void shield generators, made the Seeker Space Station a heavy and dangerous war fortress.

As the combat aircraft were parked in the hangar one after another, technical priests such as Gauss could not wait to rush to the scene with their technicians to begin their own research.

Ah... these sharp and efficient metal edges, these simple and beautiful energy supply lines, the heavy power contained in these mechanical joints... Ah...

The huge consumption of resources and several months of hard work received the sweetest reward at this moment, and it was all worth it.

But before they could fully savor this charming flavor, something unexpected happened a few days later.

On this day, the psychic detector of the space station suddenly detected a strange subspace signal. It was the "water waves" generated when a ship was about to "surface" from the subspace voyage and come to the real universe.

The rippling water indicates that a tsunami is about to come.

The reason why this signal is strange is that the location where it appears is unreasonable.

Interstellar ships generally use warp drives to achieve de facto faster-than-light travel by skipping long distances of the physical universe through the warp.

However, the Sea of ​​Souls is not calm, and the stellar gravity wells also have a certain interference with the subspace. For safe navigation, ships usually have to sail to a galaxy's "Mandeville Point" before they can jump out of the water. That is the minimum distance for safely entering and exiting the subspace and the target star system.

If a ship jumps directly from the subspace into the star system without passing through the Mandeville point, the ship making a blind jump will need to bear the interference caused by many factors such as the changes in the subspace itself, navigation calculation errors, and the gravity of celestial bodies. The consequences of such interference are often catastrophic.

It is no exaggeration to say that only the most insane lunatics would choose to make a warp jump without going through a Mandeville Point.

Such a crazy and strange signal appeared in the detector of the Seekers Space Station.

Soon, the doubts in the hearts of the technical priests on the space station disappeared, and were replaced by fear and anger.

A fleet of tattered garbage ships, which looked like they were forcibly pieced together from space junk, leaped out of the warp like locusts and staggered towards Faya.

It was a junk fleet that looked like it would fall apart at any time, but never did. It was hard to imagine any creature being able to fly into space and sail across the starry sea using such makeshift ships.

The good news is that humans don't have to imagine what kind of creature would be driving such a boat.

The bad news is that this creature is called a Green Orc.

Across the vast distance, everyone on the space station heard a roar from the depths of their souls, echoing in the vast expanse of space:

! ! ! "

! ! ! "

“Wow~Wow~”
