Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

What Luo Xi needs is not some powerful killing weapons. What he cares about is the lost scientific and technological knowledge that may be contained in those relics. Knowledge is the most valuable thing, and weapons are just external manifestations.

However, the secret vault of the Dark Angel was so huge that he couldn't even see the end, not to mention the huge display cabinets with several layers, which contained some melee or ranged attack weapons classified into different categories.

"Where do you store the STC templates here? I'd better look at those directly to save time." Luo Xi asked.

Ryan nodded immediately: "Of course, but you didn't say it, so I let you go by yourself."

Luo Xi's brow was immediately filled with black lines. This petty-minded guy had been taking him around in the huge secret vault. It turned out that he had no good intentions.

Chapter 213 Dark Watcher

Just as Luo Xi was happily strolling around the Dark Angel's high-tech vault, some short figures began to sway in the dark room.

These hooded figures, whose height was not even higher than an adult's knee, moved back and forth between the stagnant positions and slowly approached the strange combination of two primarchs and a mortal.

Their eyes, hidden deep under their hoods, stared at the mortal curiously until the leading figure made a sound, then they dispersed.

Ryan, who was walking, suddenly noticed something unusual. Although the figures in the dark did not make any sound, Ryan still discovered their existence through his intuition.

"Why did those Dark Watchers... come out?"

The lion was surprised and quickened his pace without leaving a trace, trying to disperse them before Roche and Guilliman.

He didn't want these little secrets of the Dark Angels to be discovered.

Guilliman's eyes turned. Others might not have noticed it, but he knew Lion too well.

Even the slightest movement could not escape his eyes. It was obvious that the old man was trying to hide some secret again.

He quickened his pace without leaving a trace, put his right hand on Luo Xi's shoulder, and pushed him forward a few steps.

"Why are you pushing me? I haven't even finished reading it yet... Shit!"

Luo Xi was checking the marks of different colors. He had just found some STC technologies involving biochemical transformation technology, which were exactly what was missing in his technology tree.

According to the summary, Red Alert's technology tree is better at mechanical creation, so it can mass-produce warships, vehicles and individual equipment, but it is relatively weak in psychic power, biochemical transformation and basic technology.

So he planned to focus on psychic power and biochemical transformation. The Dark Angels' black technology secret library contained a large amount of technology related to psychic power and biochemical transformation.

But just as he staggered, a short man in a robe suddenly appeared in front of Luo Xi. He saw clearly that the thing appeared suddenly.

"Lion, something has escaped from your secret vault of high technology!" Roxie quickly took two steps back and protected Guilliman in front of him.

Although it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, he was sure that the thing was definitely not a human being.

In addition to the environment they are in now, the Dark Angels have hidden too many secrets in this room. Who knows if the containment device suddenly failed, allowing some ghost things to escape.

Anyway, the first impression that the Dark Angels gave him was already unreliable. Ryan, who had been playing hide-and-seek with Conrad Curze for sixteen weeks, had allowed the Midnight Haunter to escape to the landmark of Macragge and dropped four hundred airdrop pods.

Guilliman drew his sword immediately. His vision was much better than Roche's. The person shrouded in the robe was definitely an alien.

His brother was in league with the xenos? Guilliman began to get excited.

"stop!"

Ryan quickly grabbed Roboute's hand and stopped him from attacking the robed man.

"Those are not aliens. They are allies of the Dark Angels and native to Caliban."

The lion quickly explained, and the little robed figure in the darkness slowly walked out.

"ally?"

Guilliman exclaimed, he discovered that the old man Lion had hidden more things, not only did they have a secret relationship with the aliens, but they also called something that was obviously not human an ally.

The little robed figure was obviously deliberately revealing his presence. Their aura was erratic, and even Guilliman was unsure of the alien in front of him.

The little man in black robe did not react to Guilliman's hostility. Instead, he was very interested in Roche and even approached him to look at him carefully.

【Follow me】

A strange voice suddenly emerged in Luo Xi's mind, and he immediately realized that the little man in the robe in front of him also had the ability of telepathy.

However, the somewhat shrill child's voice and the other party's short stature made Luo Xi suspect that the person hiding under the robe was a virtual image called Minions from the distant past.

So suspicious.

Not only Roxi heard the telepathy, Guilliman and Lion also heard the voice in their hearts.

Unlike Guilliman who remained alert, Lion had a gloomy face. He felt that the situation was somewhat out of control.

Dark Watchers should not come into contact with those outside the Dark Angels.

These robed figures, formally known as Dark Watchers, are a native inhabitant of Caliban.

The Dark Watchers are an extremely mysterious existence. As far as Ryan knows, they never take off their robes, and they are almost immune to physical and psychic attacks. These little guys who control powerful spiritual powers will take the initiative to act as servants of the Caliban Knights.

They claim to be the enemies of Chaos, and are an unusually mysterious and gentle race to humans.

Ryan didn't understand why these people, who were very mysterious even within the Dark Angels, chose to show up in front of Roche.

Their special psychic powers allow them to easily walk through walls on a warship. It can be said that if they don't want to show up, you won't be able to find their traces even if the entire warship is turned upside down.

Because of the appearance of the Dark Watcher, Lion's aura in front of Guilliman also weakened. This was the secret of the Dark Angels, but now this secret has been leaked.

Luo Xi felt that these strange little things seemed to have no ill intentions, so he followed the Dark Watcher and quickly rushed into a hidden space.

These are the things you need

The voice of the little man in the robe sounded again, pointing to the static positions in the inventory one by one, guiding Luo Xi.

Luo Xi looked in the direction and saw a flesh and blood creature soaked in a transparent glass jar.

It was a sealed container about two meters high, with silver-white metal materials at the upper and lower ends, and what seemed to be some kind of transparent glass in the middle. Some fine bubbles rolled back and forth in the container, forming a subtle small cycle.

Although the thing soaked in liquid was partially deformed, Luo Xi still recognized it as a brain.

The human brain.

[That is one of your STCs, storing content in the field of biology]

Luo Xi approached slowly and put his hand on the surface of the glass-like material. He felt a faint warm feeling, and the brain with a diameter of half a meter actually twitched visibly.

"This is a biochemically modified brain. What on earth did they do to the human brain?"

Roche had seen many STC templates, some of which were huge mechanical devices made of shiny white ceramics, silver pipes and chrome chambers, while others were simple blueprints or fragmentary digital data.

However, this kind of STC that is completely transformed from the human brain is indeed the first time I have seen it.

The brain soaked in liquid seemed to have a strong sense of self-awareness. It was eager to leave this small space where it had been trapped for a long time.

Luo Xi had a strong premonition that if this modified brain could be fully analyzed, many difficult problems in biochemical technology would be solved.

Ryan's face looked a little ugly. He still remembered the origin of this item. It was a creation of a human pocket empire that the Dark Angels once destroyed. That human civilization gave up all mechanical creations and invested all its energy into the research of biochemical technology.

They even gave up their bodies, leaving only a brain for all the people. This blasphemous act led to the destruction of the Dark Angels, and they did not even pay attention to the surrender request of this civilization after its defeat.

This trophy has no use since it was put into the secret vault of black technology. The Dark Angels prefer to use relics with great lethality rather than this blasphemous creation that has no direct use.

The lion's intuition told him that if this seemingly useless biotechnology STC fell into the hands of the immortal, it might really be able to play its due value.

But this kind of value will not be held in the hands of the Dark Angels.

Chapter 214 Moravec Cube

"Why would you help him? We can't even make sure he remains firm. This might be a mistake."

Ryan spoke telepathically to the Dark Watcher.

"It is no exaggeration to say that we do not know whether these technological relics, if out of control, will evolve into a disaster for the empire."

"I must ensure that this possibility is nipped in the bud. This is my duty given to me by the Emperor."

In response to the lion's question, the dark watcher responded.

[You have fallen into a narrow trap, son of Caliban. Our ultimate enemy is always Chaos. If you cling to the legacy of the past and do not seek a breakthrough, you will be waiting for death.]

[Those things can only play their greatest value if they fall into his hands. He is a valuable ally and an important member in the fight against the forces of chaos. We should unite.]

Ryan fell silent. He was well aware of the foresight of these Dark Watchers. These little guys had existed for tens of thousands of years before humans on Caliban began to multiply.

They chose to assist the Dark Angels and become squires of the Knights of Caliban because these humans are also important members of the resistance against Chaos.

Like the Dark Angels, they all have their own secrets, but one thing is certain, both sides belong to the same camp.

After admonishing Ryan, the Dark Watcher continued to take Roxi to another corner.

These robed figures were somewhat disappointed with the Dark Angels and Ryan. Their biggest goal in cultivating the Dark Angels was to fight against Chaos. The malice from the High Heavens was the mortal enemy of all life in the real universe, and the Dark Angels were simply too extreme.

The war among creatures in the real universe is a contradiction within the real universe, but the subspace is different. It is another dimension, another world.

The Dark Angels put the Emperor first in their hearts, making it simply impossible for them to work with xenos beings other than the Dark Watchers.

But in Luo Xi, they saw another possibility, that is the possibility of unity.

So it decided to stand up at this time and give Luo Xi a helping hand.

Seeing the Dark Watcher's enthusiastic attitude towards Roxi, Ryan felt a headache coming on. Even his own robed figures began to move outward. If Roxi stayed any longer, he would probably be pulled away by him.

Because he saw that Luo Xi was also enthusiastic about getting familiar with the Watcher, he was even allowed to touch the head of the robed man to bring the two closer together.

"Enough, enough, send this guy away!"

The lion roared in his heart. He had had enough of this mortal and his annoying brother.

【Come with me, there is one more thing you need to take away】

The robed man took Luo Xi's hand and led him to another stasis position.

Luo Xi stopped and stared at the technological relic marked "Scarlet" in front of him.

[This is Moravec's Rubik's Cube. If you know him, you should know what this thing means.]

The mark in front of him did not describe this metal hexagonal Rubik's Cube trapped in a stagnant state. Its record was nothingness, and the robed man told Luo Xi its name.

This mechanical creation in front of us is still rotating even though it is constrained by a static position, and its multiple metal surfaces are moving back and forth regularly.

"Moravec..."

His pupils contracted suddenly as he remembered the name he had found in the Empire's database.

If one were to make an assessment of scientists after the Dark Age of Technology, Moravec would certainly be on that list.
