Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

He did not know much about the art of war, and the most sophisticated tactic he mastered was to arm his troops to the teeth and then send them all onto the battlefield to defeat the enemy with absolute superiority.

The tactic commonly known as F2A is still very effective until the st millennium of mankind.

Sage Rand glanced at Roshi, slightly confused. His hesitation was obvious: "How do you know I have found something? I think I have hidden it well."

Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Luo Xi also laughed out loud.

"Sage, you are not good at hiding your thoughts. If you have any concerns, why not tell me about them?"

"I'm not a dictator."

Seeing this, Rand sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and then projected another piece of technological information analyzed from the Moravec Rubik's Cube onto the holographic projection on the desktop.

"This is an extremely dangerous technological artifact."

What appeared before his eyes was a tall building with a gray-black color mixed with brass. Countless energy veins spread across the surface of the tower like blood vessels.

At the top of the tower, five giant transparent cylinders stood symmetrically, and inside the fluorescent green liquid, some psychics in a coma were floating.

When the holographic projection began to demonstrate the operation of the tower, concrete mental shock waves spread out in circles, creating a powerful mental stance within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

That tower is the source of the spiritual stance. It can extract and amplify the psychic energy of the psychic, thereby releasing a wave that can strengthen the human mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and strengthen the only belief in the heart.

"Moravec named it the Mind Control Tower. It is a dangerous creation that can play with the human mind." Rand said solemnly, his tone full of fear.

"The psychic shock waves it releases can directly enter the brain and influence the neural network, thus leaving a mark of the mind control tower in the brain."

"We can call it a thought stamp. For all humans within the influence range of the master control machine, if they do not take protective measures, the mind control tower will input the set information into their brains. The most basic form of this is mind control."

Control the mind...

Luo Xi also realized why Rand wanted to cover up this information and not let him know.

This technology is too blasphemous and too dangerous. Some psychics do have the ability to control the minds of others and can even erase their consciousness and turn them into advanced puppets similar to servitors.

But even for psychics, this is a difficult operation, and it has extremely high requirements for the mental state and willpower of the controlled person, as well as the psychic strength of the controller.

Some determined Space Marines are completely immune to this kind of invisible and intangible interference, while for mortals with weaker wills, the effect can sometimes be very significant.

The mind control tower recorded in Moravec's Cube is slightly different from the psychic's direct mind control of others.

Its effect is to use psychic power to imprint a mark in the target's brain, constantly reinforcing and amplifying a certain concept. It acts directly on the brain and is not mind control in the standard sense.

In other words, even if the source of psychic energy dissipates, the imprint of thought will not disappear.

Even to the extreme, if you use a mind control tower to implant information into the target such as "people can fly" or "water is highly poisonous", the target will 100% believe the implanted information.

Because the human brain really "believes" this.

Even when the target drinks the water, their bodies will actually react to the extremes of the brain, as if they had taken a highly toxic compound.

But in a flash, Luo Xi also thought of how to use the mind control tower correctly.

This technological creation can enhance the mental resistance of mortals when facing enemies in the Warp, just as the more resolute the will of a warrior is, the longer he can persist when facing the Warp.

Mortals who have their thoughts stamped into their brains and constantly strengthen concepts such as "loyalty" and "rationality" will undoubtedly be able to greatly enhance their ability to resist subspace.

What is even more commendable is that it exerts a wide-range influence, that is, everyone within the set range will be affected by the thought stamp. They will be extremely calm and indifferent, and face the evil power of the Supreme Heaven with the attitude of imperial truth.

"What should I do?"

Luo Xi's mind was in a dilemma, at present the Empire needed this kind of technology that could greatly enhance the Warp resistance of mortal armies, but he was also extremely wary of its power to play with the human brain and mind.

The Mind Stamp is a creation more dangerous than any real weapon. It can directly modify the human brain's reaction mechanism, and the impact it causes is extremely difficult to eliminate.

It is even more vicious than faith. Faith is still a subjective choice of the individual, while the stamp of thought is a real external intervention. It is undoubtedly a double-edged sword, which can hurt oneself if used improperly.

The existence of the Mind Control Tower is undoubtedly a very powerful trump card. It can forcibly unite the will of mankind, eliminate all human doubts and weaknesses, and make the people of the empire fight like cold-blooded machines.

"There are currently hundreds of billions of imperial troops gathered in the solar system, and the vast majority of them are mortal auxiliary troops from various worlds, as well as civilians or merchants who have taken refuge here."

"Not everyone has an absolute resistance to the enemy, sage. When the number of humans reaches a certain level, there will inevitably be resistance, neutrality, and compromise and surrender."

Luo Xi stared into the light green eyes of Sage Rand with a stern expression.

"I understand that our actions may be blaspheming humanity and manipulating the only remaining free will of humanity, but both you and I understand that we have no choice."

Rand instinctively wanted to persuade Roche that if this technology was misused, it would cause terrible consequences, as it was a manipulation of human thinking.

But he then reacted and realized that it seemed that anyone could say such things except the Mechanicus. The large number of demented servitors used within the Mechanicus alone was an even more extreme blasphemy against humanity.

In the past, in order to avoid the use of artificial intelligence creations, the Mechanicus promoted servitors, a type of creation transformed from humans, on a large scale.

After a special brain surgery, the robot servants whose frontal lobes were removed have been deprived of most of their sanity. Some of them are criminals who have committed serious crimes, and some are clones produced in laboratories.

But whether the Empire used innocent civilians to create mechanical servants is an extremely sensitive topic. Although the Mechanicus has completely denied it, Roche has seen countless times in investigation reports from various places about the ugly things that the Mechanicus did to humans after collecting population taxes.

No matter how it is whitewashed, the Mechanicus, like the Empire, is a merciless and evil political entity. The advanced yet primitive technology of the Mechanicus often requires a terrifying price to be paid before it can be used.

However, it is this rigid scientific organization full of religious ignorance that searches for and protects the lost human technology and knowledge after the Dark Age of Technology. The priests of the Mechanicus have no mercy on mortals, and are ruthless to themselves.

In order to protect the extremely precious scientific and technological knowledge, they can pay any price, including their own.

Rand was silent. He held his head with both hands, feeling the beating of the blood vessels in his head.

The warm surging blood made him feel that his blood was still hot, and he was not yet an extremely cold-blooded person.

"Sage, the empire has reached the most critical moment. The rebels are about to arrive at the city. Although we have organized forces to fight back, no one knows what the outcome will be."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. As long as I can tip the balance of this war towards the Empire even a little bit, I will do it."

"We need to unify everyone's will. In order to win this war in front of the Warp, we must strengthen the will of all mortal armies to resist the Warp. Not everyone is loyal enough to be unshakable, and the Thought Seal can make up for this."

Luo Xi did not lie or exaggerate.

Even though the reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds, more than 100,000 Astartes and a huge war fleet have arrived in the solar system, no one can say they are safe when facing Horus, who was chosen by the four gods.

In fact, Roche's mentality, which had improved slightly, took a sharp turn for the worse after meeting the Emperor.

In the future that the Emperor saw, he would have to fight an extremely sad father-son battle with Horus no matter what. Does this mean that the Rebels have a way to break through the defenses and reach the Throne World directly?

Luo Xi could only keep piling up chips on his table and make more preparations to face the enemy.

"If I were Horus, then the hundreds of billions of mortals gathered in the solar system would be a perfect breakthrough point. I would only need to send a psychic force into the galaxy, and with the help of these mortals' souls, I could release the vicious Warp curse ritual."

"The mortal auxiliary army is a force that we must master, and it is also a weak point that is very likely to be exploited and broken by the enemy. Do you understand what I mean, Sage Rand?"

Akan Rand's face was heavy. He was an optimist and always used to looking at things from the bright side, but his brain told him that naked rationality was the best solution.

Seeing that the Mechanicus sage in front of him was persuaded by him, Luo Xi also began to strike while the iron was hot.

"I once heard a quote from a veteran who survived the war: If the caliber of the cannon is not large enough, the flower of peace will not bloom brightly."

"We must be cold-blooded and rational enough so that the people of the empire will have the opportunity to rebuke us. If we choose to be weak, then they can only eat the corpses in the ruins. How can they have time to rebuke us?"

Luo Xi raised his voice to the maximum, almost in the form of a roar.

"I have to make this decision. If someone hates me, curses me, or even wants to kill me, then let them come to me. I only do what I think is right. If this is a necessary evil, then I will do it."

There was a struggle flashing in the eyes of Rand Sage. In fact, few people knew that in addition to the Land Raider series of war vehicles, he also had the Rand series of agricultural and industrial production vehicles.

What he was truly proud of was never the weapons of war that took human lives.

"You are right, Sage Roshi. It is foolish to talk about humanity and human rights at the moment of life and death. Only those who survive are qualified to make choices."

Luo Xi finally smiled, he realized that he had convinced this giant of the Mechanicus and the Advanced Technology Community.

Orders under the suppression of power are fragile. Roche does not want to cause dissatisfaction among this extremely important scientist. It is better for the contradiction to break out than to hide under the scar and slowly fester.

"I need you to analyze it quickly, and with the help of the mature automated productivity on Ganymede, deploy mind control towers on every planet and every warship in the solar system."

The mind control tower conceived by Moravec does not have a ready-made STC template to use, but with the industrial power of Ganymede, it is not particularly difficult to build such a technological creation.

"Regarding the issue of ideological stamps, I still need to discuss with the think tank and the primarchs, but the general principle is that ideological stamps must be as concise as possible and must not be abused or misused."

On the issue of designing the content of the ideological seal, Luo Xi must consult with the seal holders and the primarchs. Any rash action will lay the groundwork for future threats.

"I understand. This won't take long." Sage Rand said, and immediately led his disciples to the work of analyzing and manufacturing the mind control tower.

Looking at this scene, Luo Xi also smiled sincerely.

The establishment of the Advanced Technology Community has brought him so much good news. This organization, which has liberated the backward technological productivity of the Mechanicus, will bring more scientific and technological achievements like a blowout.

The Mind Control Tower and Space Marine Reinforcement are just the first, but definitely not the last.

It is foreseeable that as long as the Empire does not perish under the fire of Horus' betrayal, this vibrant organization will continue to shine in the years to come.

Chapter 403: Imperial Truth 2.0 (Request for Subscription)

Roche, who was on Ganymede, quietly returned to Terra under the protection of his guards.

He has sent Sharokin to Belisarius Cawl to assist him in recovering the original mother of the Gene Sect on the moon. Currently, only Iron Father Wayland, Tassa of the Salamanders and others are left by his side.

These veterans who have followed him since Istvaan have always been the people Roshi trusts the most.

With Conrad's departure, the Iron Man Veronica, who originally served as the Midnight Haunter's portable prison, also resumed its original mission. It has been quietly protecting Roche's personal safety in secret.

As the head sage of the Advanced Technology Community, Roche's safety is no longer just his own business. The interests of countless people are tied to it, especially the priests of the Mechanicus, who are extremely afraid that something might happen to Roche.

Oh, Om Messiah, the treasure house of the God of All Machines has just opened a crack to them, and they have already glimpsed countless treasures of knowledge from it. Those golden knowledge have opened their arms to them, and they must never let the door close again.

This time when Cawl went to the moon, the Mechanicus who were evacuated from Mars put in a lot of effort.

They dispatched a legion of Titans that were rescued from Mars and regarded as treasures, and ordered them to follow Cawl to reminisce with the Selina Gene Sect on the Moon.

Although the biochemically modified weapons of your Selina Gene Sect are powerful, my Martian Titan is not at a disadvantage either.

Although the Mechanicus has now retreated to Terra, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and it is still easy for them to control a half-dead lunar genetic sect.

Even Malcador expressed the wish of the Custodes to send two Imperial Guards to protect the safety of this key figure in the Empire.

But Roche didn't want those golden corns to follow him around all day long, as the tribune Diocletian had left a deep impression on him.

When Luo Xi thought of the Imperial Guards, a perfect but contemptuous face appeared in his mind, which made him feel intimidating.

These products of perfect alchemy created by the Emperor seem a little too ruthless, and it is unclear whether this is right or wrong.
