Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Luo Xi can freely access the intelligent computer backend of the Advanced Technology Community. In his sight, the communication and transaction volume between those individual accounts reached a small peak in a short period of time.

Even many mechanical priests who do not have enough contribution points are frantically searching the intelligent computer system for theoretical research on their own research directions.

Oftentimes, what research needs most is guidance on direction. If researchers can get a hint of inspiration from the titles of databases, it may even directly inspire them.

On the contrary, if the research direction you are looking for is not even in the database, you can basically assume that this is a dead end. After all, there were no scientific achievements in related fields during the golden age of mankind. Doesn't this mean that this direction is wrong?

Luo Xi also acquiesced in this kind of half-taken advantage of the situation, since he didn't lose anything anyway.

"Sure enough, driven by interests, the human brain has infinite creativity." Luo Xi sighed after seeing a message.

After realizing that their contribution points were insufficient, some researchers in the same field quickly negotiated and cooperated, aggregated each other's contribution points, exchanged them for research information in the database, and then shared them.

This was also an act of taking advantage of loopholes, but Luo Xi's goal was achieved. What he needed was not to let this knowledge remain motionless in his database like "dragon's treasure", but to make these mechanical priests as active as possible and let the knowledge flow.

Knowledge is wealth, and wealth is valuable only when it is circulated. Otherwise, it is just a string of digital information on the books.

"Some people have already started exchanging their discovered STCs and other technological relics for contribution points. After comparing them with the intelligent computer, 19 of them are missing in my technology tree!"

Luo Xi was also surprised. He had searched everywhere in the Five Hundred Worlds, and even through trades with the Dark Angels, he still couldn't get so many technological relics in such a short time.

And now, he didn't even do anything, and those mechanical priests were rushing to give away their treasures.

Make money while lying down, so cool!

These newly added STCs or technological relics come from various fields, and there is even an incomplete STC of an entertainment-type bionic man produced by a technological giant in the dark technological age.

Looking at the data analyzed by the intelligent brain, Luo Xi suddenly felt embarrassed, because this so-called entertainment-type bionic man was completely a product of human desires of that era. Some humans ordered special bionic men from technology companies to play with and desecrate according to their own weird hobbies.

The information in it was so perverted that even he couldn't bear to finish reading it.

"The humans of the Dark Technology Age are almost the same as the overindulgent Dark Eldar. Is it possible that after a long period of development and finally being able to rest easy, a civilization will only indulge in self-degradation and hedonism?"

Luo Xi sighed and said that these technological relics could give us a glimpse into the living conditions of humans in the past. The demise of the dark technological age could be said to be the evil result caused by the unlimited expansion of human desires.

"Most of the first batch of STCs exchanged are fragments of low value. It would be a pity to just keep them in your hands. So you might as well exchange them for contribution points and exchange them for the knowledge and technological relics you desperately need."

"But the truly useful things are still held in the hands of some people, who are still waiting to see the situation."

Luo Xi was not in a hurry. After all, the advanced technology community was here, and sooner or later they would cash in on the technological treasures in their hands. It was only a matter of time.

In fact, what Roche cared more about was the knowledge of the Mechanicus sages and high-level Mechanic priests. Compared with the vast majority of the poor Mechanic priests, they were the ones who occupied the bulk of the knowledge wealth.

"Hmm?" Luo Xi suddenly frowned.

He saw from the backstage of the intelligent computer a young technology assistant named Belisarius Cawl exchanging a rare technology called "Soul Synthesis" with the intelligent computer of the Advanced Technology Community.

The essence of this technology is to copy a person's thoughts and soul data, and then merge it with another person using bionic mechanical components.

The technology related to the soul and consciousness is undoubtedly the most precious knowledge. After the intelligent brain evaluated the completeness of the technology in this field in its database, it gave Belisarius Kaur 205404 contribution points.

This is an astonishing number. According to Roche's assessment, many wealthy technical sages only have this much knowledge after it is converted into contribution points.

"Kawl was once trained in the field of soul synthesis by the master, Sage Hester Aspetia Σ-Σ, in Trisolian A4. It is said that the Trisolian galaxy was captured by the rebels, and Sage Hester died after betraying..."

A light bulb went off in Luo Xi's mind. Perhaps it was this kid named Kohl who, after learning the soul synthesis technology, merged his mentor's intellectual core with his own thinking.

This sounds like a concept called "possession" in ancient times on Earth, but it is a real technological means.

After discovering Kohl's little secret, Luo Xi was just secretly happy. Of course, he would not be so idle as to expose the other party's secret. This fundamentally violated the confidentiality principle of the high-tech community.

Luo Xi would never tolerate such an act of undermining his own foundation, and apart from him, even the other twelve members of parliament had no authority to inquire about such confidential information.

He can ensure that he himself has no selfish motives, but he cannot ensure that other sages do not have any.

Especially the sage Ezekiel, Roxi saw all his little actions, but the other party was an authority in the field of genetics, and his existence played an important role in Roxi's analysis of the knowledge about life genetics on the Red Alert.

He had already seen that the brain STC that he had obtained from the secret vault of the Dark Angels, which recorded all the biological science knowledge of a human pocket empire, had been exchanged for the right to use by the other party.

This was also the first complete STC to be exchanged by the Advanced Technology Community. Ezekiel was worthy of being the second head of Terra's biotechnology department after Ms. Amael Astarte. The resources in his hands were almost unmatched in the Mechanicus.

After paying for six incomplete STC fragments, the old man gained the right to use the brain STC, which enables him to analyze the biological knowledge stored in it.

Luo Xi could also see the other party's intention. Even a mechanical sage would be afraid of death. He was trying every means to find a new way to prolong his life.

"It's hard to judge that he is so rich but still plundered 5 contribution points from his apprentice." Luo Xi complained. He had a much better impression of Sage Akan Rand than Ezekiel.

Then, he switched the background to Sage Rand's account. This super genius with a thirst for knowledge exchanged more than twenty STCs in his hands, two of which were even almost complete.

This is a huge wealth of knowledge. A complete STC is enough for a Mechanicus sage to pilot his own mechanical ark to go on an expedition.

"He really didn't hold back at all, and just went all in with his entire stock."

After obtaining more than one million contribution points, Sage Rand chose to exchange them for something that Luo Xi had not expected.

【Moravec Cube】.

After Roche obtained it from the secret vault of the Dark Angel, he has not had much free time to analyze and study this technological relic, the legacy left by the peerless genius named Moravec.

It contains a large amount of psychic technology and forbidden technology. Even the Dark Angels put it aside and dare not study it too much.

You have to know that the Ikaros Protocol that the Dark Angels are responsible for has the ability and responsibility to check and balance the Mechanicus. The fact that even they dare not analyze the Moravec Cube in too much detail is enough to show its value.

"Interesting, does Sage Rand have any ideas or inspiration?"

Luo Xi also became curious, and he decided to find Sage Rand to find out the truth.

The first meeting of the Advanced Technology Community had just ended, and many mechanical priests had already dispersed. Some of them went to retrieve the technological relics they had hidden, and some wanted to find a quiet place to slowly communicate with the intelligent computer.

Some mechanical priests who have quietly dabbled in the field of abominable intelligence have seized this rare opportunity to interact with Zhinao, a true artificial intelligence, and collect precious sample data.

There are not many opportunities to legally research artificial intelligence, and some mechanical priests even have to use excuses such as intelligent control robots to cover up their actions.

After all, they do not have the Emperor's endorsement. Once their forbidden behavior is discovered by others, they will probably immediately violate the Scarlet Concordat and be liquidated and sanctioned by the Mechanicus.

"Sage Luo Xi, the God of All Things blesses you."

When Luo Xi walked through the crowd, he immediately attracted a lot of blessings. The mechanics performed the gear salute with respect from the bottom of their hearts, paying tribute to the creator of the advanced technology community.

Luo Xi smiled and nodded, and the crowd parted in front of him like a tide, saving Sharokin the effort of clearing the way for them.

In Ganymede's planetary control center, every registered user is eligible to apply for a completely confidential room as their own storage location.

As the great sage of the Mechanicum, Arkan Rand naturally enjoys higher treatment than others. Ganymede has almost all kinds of high-end laboratories, but to use these laboratories, one also needs to pay a certain amount of contribution points.

High-energy colliders that study the microscopic field consume a huge amount of resources once they are started up, and will also cause minor damage to the mechanical equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to collect a certain amount of contribution points.

Accompanied by Sharokin, Luo Xi came to the biological laboratory being used by Rand Sage.

To Luo Xi's surprise, Belisarius Cawl, who made a fortune in silence, was actually following Sage Rand, and seemed to be participating in the analysis and research of Moravec's Cube.

Luo Xi knocked on the door and only stepped into this advanced biological laboratory after getting permission.

At this moment, Sage Rand was working on the clean bench, nervously unlocking the stasis field on the outer layer of the Moravec Cube. He used the laboratory's own high-precision robotic arm to carefully peel off the restrictions imposed on it by the Dark Angels.

This technological relic involving psychic energy is still flipping and changing over and over again even under the influence of the static stance. The Rubik's Cube columns are constantly rotating according to a certain operating law, making crisp interlaced sounds of mechanical operation.

In addition to the two of them, Cawl was accompanied by a companion. Roshi identified the other party's identity information. He was a young mechanical priest named Fredisi, who escaped from the Trisolian galaxy with Cawl.

Sage Rand was accompanied by several of his student assistants, who were busy assisting their teacher in carrying out experiments.

The disciples of Sage Rand are completely different from their teacher who is unwilling to accept any bionic mechanical transformation. Almost everyone of them carries a huge shell-shaped metal object on their backs. Several sophisticated mechanical arms are dancing in the air, and servo skulls connected by neural data cables are floating in the air.

Their lower bodies have been transformed into more efficient mechanical structures, with the roar of gears and steam circulating back and forth, and the power that drives the bodies comes from the reaction of nuclear matter.

Beneath their Martian red robes, there are many relic-level high-energy weapons hidden. When each mechanical priest is at full firepower, the firepower output he unleashes can even surpass that of an entire company of mortal auxiliary troops.

As disciples of Arkan Rand, these mechanical priests were undoubtedly the most senior among their colleagues. Roche had no doubt that the same number of mechanical priests could wipe out the same number of Astartes warriors.

Since Sage Rand did not have many mechanized modifications, his disciples used electronic eyes with multiple surveying functions to observe the specific situation of the Moravec Cube.

"This is indeed a creation left behind by the sage Moravec. Although this is only a preliminary analysis, the wisdom of that genius is indeed beyond the reach of us."

After half a day of decoding and analysis, Sage Rand leaned back in his chair with a little helplessness. The supercomputer configured in the laboratory can be directly connected to the intelligent brain, using the almost unlimited computing power to perform boring and repetitive analysis work.

Luo Xi frowned slightly. Rand was already one of the most outstanding sages in the Mechanicus. Did even he think that he was inferior to Moravec?

"In fact, most people cannot see the value of the psychic technology contained in this Rubik's Cube. But if you study it deeply enough and go far enough on this road, you will find that this guy is simply not a human being." Rand said.

"This cube contains some of Moravec's research theories on psychic technology, with a focus on human psychic transformation. This knowledge is enough for us to take a new step in the field of psychic energy. For today's empire—"

"This seems to mean that we can have a completely new army, one that is stronger than the Astartes."

"What do you mean?" Compared with top researchers like Rand, Roche was a little inferior. He could vaguely grasp the other party's intentions, but he was just short of the finishing touch.

"The Legion of Astartes is the most powerful military force in the Empire today. It can transform the Astartes, upgrade and evolve them to perfection."

Rand's words were very shocking. The Astartes Legion was an important force that the Empire relied on today, although in terms of overall size, it might be far less than the larger mortal auxiliary forces.

If we look at the data on paper alone, the pillars of the Empire are actually the trillions of mortal troops and the power of the Mechanicus, and the Space Marine Legions account for a very small proportion.

However, the Astartes Legion is qualitatively different. In many battlefield environments, no matter how many mortals are deployed, it will be of no avail. The strength of mortals lies in the whole, but often on a single battlefield, it is impossible to mobilize too many troops to join the battle.

At this time, the Astartes Legion with higher quality and capability is needed to solve the problem.

"Are you sure, Sage Rand? Things like improving the Astartes must be considered carefully." Luo Xi said cautiously.

It is well known that the Astartes are superhuman transformed warriors developed by the Emperor in the genetic laboratory of the Terra Palace. They are stronger, more tenacious, and their willpower and learning ability surpass those of ordinary people.

This contains the Emperor's mysterious biochemical transformation technology. The 19 transformation operations of a normal Astartes are closely linked to each other, and each one has its own meaning.

Due to the impact of the Horus Heresy that lasted for several years, all legions were short of manpower, whether loyal or treacherous, and the degraded version of the Astartes, the "Rapid Enlistment Corps", was being deployed to the battlefield more and more.

Some of them omitted several transformation operations in order to complete the troop replenishment more quickly.

The most famous are the large number of crazy and bloodthirsty monsters created by the World Eaters on the conscription world of Bot. These guys who blasphemed the glory of Astartes were given the name of the Speedy Conscription Army.

In addition, the Imperial Fists also carried out a conscription operation in Cthunia, the home planet of the Sons of Horus. Rogal Dorn ordered the cancellation of the implantation of the two modified organs, the "salivary glands" and the "Suan meninges", thereby shortening the modification time by more than 34%.

But this also caused these Astartes to lose their acidic saliva and near-death protection, and according to battlefield statistics, the Imperial Fists' mortality rate increased by 11.4%.

Rand nodded affirmatively. He found that the theories on improving Space Marines recorded in Moravec's Cube were inherently consistent and logical, and at least had the possibility of success.

Sometimes, to verify whether a scientific research has problems, you can analyze its internal logic. If there is a problem with the logic, then there is a high probability that the research also has problems.

After Rand opened the Moravec Rubik's Cube, he was surprised to find that there was nothing wrong with the other party's thinking and logic. What he saw was a technological system that seemed to be formed naturally. Every thread had its own origin and extension. They were so perfect that there was almost nothing wrong with them.

"But I remember that Moravec was once a warlord on Terra. He fled to Mars after being defeated by the Emperor and other Terran technological warlords. Why would he study the improvements of the Astartes?"

Luo Xi was really confused. Why did Moravec want to improve the biological weapons of his mortal enemy?
