Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

"Salute, Sage Roshi." Arkan Rand performed a gear salute of the Mechanicus and greeted him.

"Sage Rand, I've heard of your great name for a long time." Luo Xi was not at all pretentious. The Mechanical Sage in front of him was the representative figure of the current Mechanicus and had an extremely high reputation and influence in the Mechanicus.

"Would you mind taking us on a tour of this miraculous city? My colleagues and I have been watching it from space for a long time, but we have never been able to see it clearly. I wonder if you can fulfill my small request."

Sage Rand did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I like your frankness, sage." Luo Xi smiled. He had a very good first impression of Rand.

"Of course, there is nothing to hide here, but before that, you have to answer me a question first." Luo Xi paused and said.

Akan Rand's heart beat faster, and his genius brain kept thinking about what questions the other party would ask and how he should think and answer them properly.

Luo Xi pointed at the pet electronic monkey on the other person's shoulder, very confused.

"I remember that this primate called monkey became extinct in the 15th millennium. An extinction plague spread among various types of monkeys and destroyed the species in a very short period of time."

Sage Rand was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Xi to ask such an irrelevant question.

"This is my pet. It is a biochemical product I created based on the extinct monkeys of ancient Terra. I once studied this lovely species and restored its appearance and functions from ancient times as best as possible. After trying genetic engineering, I created an individual."

The technical level of this Rand Sage is indeed amazing. Based on the monkey gene information he collected, he relied on his own genetic technology to create an extinct "biochemical monkey". This is not the common cloning technology, but a creature compiled from scratch.

Roche was intrigued by the level of skill he displayed.

It’s just that there seem to be some problems with this sage’s research results.

Luo Xi looked at the tip of the monkey's tail with confusion. There was a strange blue stinger organ growing in the hair, and as far as he knew, monkeys did not have stingers.

"Haha, this is the conclusion I came to based on archaeological research. I have written many articles to refute opponents who disagree with me. I believe that the tip of the monkey's tail must have a poisonous stinger, which is used to attack the enemy and protect itself."

As he spoke, Akan Rand rubbed the monkey's stinger with his finger and asked back with a hint of confusion.

"What's the problem? Isn't that what monkeys do?"

Luo Xi was speechless, shrugged and said: "The monkey's tail is just a tool for maintaining balance. If I remember correctly, they don't have stingers."

Realizing that his research was actually wrong, Sage Rand did not get angry, but instead burst into laughter.

"The man who debated with me died in the Webway War. Om Messiah led us against the demons under the Golden Throne. That unlucky guy was out of luck."

"After that old man died, I felt a lot lonelier, but he never had a chance to pick on me again."

For the priests of the Mechanicus, it is normal to have conflicts of opinion with other colleagues in academic research. In order to prove the correctness of their own doctrines, they don't even mind using electromagnetic gear battle axes to point at each other.

If logic doesn’t work, then let’s talk about classical physics.

There are many different opinions in the Mechanicum as to whether the Emperor is the Messiah of Om, and Sage Land is clearly one of those who believes that the Emperor is the Messiah of Om.

He led the loyalist Mechanicum of Mars to escape to Terra, and together with the Emperor he guarded the Webway Gate beneath the Golden Throne.

After the little episode with the monkey, the distance between the two of them was reduced a lot. Roche, with Akan Rand, and the curious mechanical priests following behind them, began to wander around the planet control center.

The oil men behind him were so excited that they could hardly control their lubricating oil pistons. Oil dripped as they walked, and they looked at the incomprehensible equipment in the closed laboratory with great envy.

Although they didn't understand what these devices were used for, based on their years of tomb robbing and their intuition, they were sure that these were definitely good things.

And Akan Rand couldn't wait to ask the biggest question in his mind.

"Sage Roshi, why are you so ostentatious in researching things beyond the Scarlet Agreement? You must know the painful blow that the Iron Man rebellion in the past brought to humanity. We should not touch things beyond our capabilities."

The elderly sage tried hard to persuade him that Rand was one of the few Mechanicus sages who had no selfish motives. He did have a strong curiosity about unknown knowledge, but he knew when to stop.

He also did not want to seize Roche's research and collections. He was simply persuading Roche from the perspective of a pioneer not to go astray like Cab Hal and others.

"Sage, I understand your good intentions, but the Blackstone technology I master can effectively suppress the influence of the Warp and minimize the possibility of Chaos corruption."

Roche slightly revealed the existence of the Black Stone, and Rand was stunned. He played an important role in the Emperor's Webway War, so he naturally knew how important it was to have technological creations that could suppress those Warp Demons.

If so, maybe...

Luo Xi then said, his expression was a bit mysterious: "I am not studying iron men and stone men casually, sage, I have the support of the backstage behind me."

Rand smiled silently. Apart from him, the only person left in the Mechanicus now was the new Forge General Kane who was still in the Webway. Who else could be his backer?

It can't be Ohm Messiah himself, ahahahaha.

However, Luo Xi's answer shattered his luck.

"Yes, it was Om Messiah who ordered me to study and unban these things. The Emperor is my backer."

Sage Rand was speechless. He was silent for a long time, and finally shrugged his shoulders, accepting this somewhat outrageous answer.

If this is true, then Ohm Messiah is really too biased. Is it possible that their Mechanicus on Mars was raised by a stepmother?

Ohm Messiah Adam is your backer, so what do we have to do with him? Or, among you, is there anyone who thinks he can surpass the prophet messenger of the God of All Things?

Sage Rand came to Ganymede this time, not only to explore the unknown technology here, but also for a very important purpose, which was to teach Roche a lesson, so that he would know the awe of urgent knowledge.

But now with the emperor as a guarantor, their behavior seems extremely ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

"That's it, that's it."

Akan Rand murmured to himself. He finally understood why Roche could build a new forging world on Ganymede with such fanfare.

Why did the Sigillite acquiesce to the other party's big move? If it hadn't been allowed, Terra would never have tolerated a being that used hateful intelligence and forbidden technology to appear around the Throne World.

Ganymede is too close to Terra. If anything goes wrong, the solar system may even fall apart.

There was already a tough guy named Mars, who would make some noise from time to time to scare Terra.

"I have met with the Emperor, and he has allowed me to use Blackstone technology, with reasonable permission, to lift the ban on artificial intelligence technology."

"The Blackstone Array has shown outstanding results in anti-warp. The productivity that we had to abandon due to fear of warp corruption may be gradually released."

Luo Xi was not talking nonsense, he did have authorization from the Lord of Mankind on the Golden Throne.

Abandoning artificial intelligence, humans can indeed use Wetware and other Thinker processors to maintain the operation of the empire, but such inefficiency is undoubtedly chronic suicide.

"So what you mean is that only by following you can we legally study artificial intelligence, including iron men and stone men?"

Sage Rand was breathing rapidly, and even his fellow Mechanicus behind him began to get excited.

They wanted to push Arkan Rand aside and rush up to reach a cooperation with Roche. That was the relic technology they had been dreaming of. No scholar of the Mechanicus could turn a blind eye to artificial intelligence. After all, the human civilization of the past relied on the advanced iron men and stone men to gradually build a galactic-level civilization.

Abandoning the iron men and stone men was a heavy blow to humanity itself.

Because many technologies and knowledge, after continuous development and iteration, cannot even be learned and understood by normal humans. The amount of knowledge and difficulty they contain have exceeded the scope that the human species can bear.

"You can understand it this way, Sage Rand, and I have gathered you here for this purpose."

"Let me show you the legacy of past humankind."

Luo Xi continued, and he clapped his hands, and lifelike holographic projections appeared on the surrounding silver-white metal walls.

He showed a small part of the vast amount of information stored in the Red Alert database, even including detailed information on various STC templates.

These human legacies from the Golden Age horrified the oil men so much that they were speechless. They unconsciously murmured the binary language of 01010, and their language modules began to malfunction under the overly intense stimulation.

From astrophysics to high-energy physics, from genetic life sciences to artificial intelligence informatics, the various fruits of past human wisdom dazzle these loyal engine oil men.

Although in the field of cutting-edge theory, these scientific studies of the Golden Age are inferior to the crazy science of mankind in the Dark Technological Age, but if we compare comprehensiveness and completeness, Roche undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage.

That is the system knowledge completed by the technology tree stored in Red Alert, plus the new knowledge analyzed by Luo Xi from various technological relics.

These include Necronic technology, some psychic technology of the Ark Eldar and the Savage Eldar, Blackstone technology, and the technological crystallizations of many alien civilizations that cannot even be named.

Among them were the Moravec Cube that Roche had exchanged from the Dark Angels, and an artificial brain that recorded all the biological knowledge of the human pocket empire.

It can be said that this is a weakened version of the technology tree that is comparable to the legendary Mechanicus's Codex.

The so-called STC of All Machines is not an STC that can manufacture specific things, but an STC that manufactures science itself. It can even be simply understood as an ultra-large AI model that can be used for scientific research.

During the dark technological age of mankind, technology had completely exceeded the limits of human understanding. The development of human technology had to rely on stone men and advanced artificial intelligence. Most humans could not even understand their own technology without AI, let alone promote progress.

If humans find the Book of All Machines, they will not only be able to restore the technological level of the Dark Age of Technology, but also be able to restore the original scientific research system and capabilities.

It can be said that Roshi, who controls this technology tree, is more worthy of the title of Om Messiah than the man sitting on the golden throne.

None of the oil men present dared to make any noise or quarrel. If the modified parts on their bodies made any noise, their colleagues around them would kill them with murderous eyes.

Never before had they been so close to the truth of Om Messiah, so close that it seemed they could reach out and touch it.

Luo Xi felt countless fiery eyes moving over his body, which suddenly made him feel a little frightened.

After all, it is quite terrifying to be surrounded by these oil men who are wearing Martian red robes and have more or less biochemical mechanical modifications all over their bodies.

Especially a few people in the crowd, Luo Xi could barely make out some human figures from them. The degree of their mechanization transformation was at least over 90%, and the whole person looked like a giant abstract machine wrapped in a red robe.

"Very good, the atmosphere has been set."

Luo Xi looked at this scene with satisfaction. He had put in so much effort, wasn't it just to hope to integrate this group of people?

It is true that he has mastered an ever-increasing technology tree, but this technology tree seems too sparse compared to the scientific theory system of mankind's heyday, and it is impossible for Roche to complete it on his own.

After all, the power of an individual has its limits.

What he has to do now is to find some suitable people to train for each branch of the technology tree.

Just like cultivating fruit trees, Luo Xi needs to select energetic and creative people for each branch as much as possible, and let them continue to delve into and explore in their respective fields in order to develop the branch.

Only when countless branches move forward in parallel can humanity truly regain its former glory.

"I know that you are all scholars who are loyal to the Empire and to Om Messiah. I admire your abilities and loyalty, but now, we can no longer be divided."

Luo Xi stood in front of everyone, and all the mechanical priests present listened to him quietly.

They had foreseen that a moment of great importance for the Mechanicus had arrived.

Perhaps today they will end their scattered situation and truly unite around one person.

Today's Forge General is the newly appointed Kane of the Empire. He was originally Cable Hart's deputy, but due to disagreements, Kane did not follow Cable Hart to defect.

Today, Cain is still in the Webway, helping the Emperor fight against the endless stream of Warp demons, so he did not come to Ganymede to find out.

Kane's loyalty is commendable, but his ability is limited. Even though many high-ranking officials have betrayed him and defected to Horus, his ability is not top-notch among the Mechanicus.

When the Imperial Fists and the Saturn Legion went to support Mars, Sigismund temporarily appointed Cain as the new Forge General, which was criticized by many Mechanical Priests after the Martian Civil War.

It's ridiculous. The Fabricator-General is the supreme leader of the Mechanicus. In terms of status alone, he is on par with the leader of the Empire, the Emperor. How can a mere captain of the Imperial Fists be qualified to be appointed?
