Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

In their eyes, there is only the Emperor, their Creator, and everything else is nothing but empty talk.

Luo Xi walked in from the front door of the seal holder's office building. It was as bustling and busy as usual, and everything was running closely according to the settings.

Since the Seal Bearer had been notified in advance, Roche did not have to wait long this time, and Terra's Chief of Guards Rogdorn was already in place.

"Let's make it short. This time we are discussing the setting of the Thought Seal. I have sent you the detailed information on the way."

Luo Xi didn't bother with the small talk. Everyone was extremely busy and there was no room for politeness.

"Yes, Mind Control Tower, I already know of the existence of this creature." The Master of the Seal said, and he loosened his stiff back, like a piece of rotten wood stretching out and creaking.

The Primarch of the Imperial Fists, Rogal Dorn, remained expressionless. Like a cold piece of reinforced concrete, he stood silently beside the Sigillite, waiting for orders.

"To be honest, this thing reminds me of some not-so-good memories from the Dark Age of Technology, as well as the blasphemous technology that the Dark Mechanicus reproduced - a creation called the Staff of Servitude."

Luo Xi knew the origin of the so-called Staff of Servitude. It was the staff of Lucas Chrome, the Lord of the Martian Forge, which integrated the results of micro-neuroscience. It only needed to touch the human body slightly to quickly complete the shell implantation surgery and become a soulless body that only obeyed orders. The people of the Dark Mechanicus also gave it a very poetic name - Forget-Me-Not.

"The thought stamp is not the same thing as that thing. It only strengthens a concept in the brain, making people believe it without a doubt, and cutting off those loose and wavering wills."

Roche could not accept Malcador's comparison of the Thought Seal to the Forgotten, which was an insult to the technology.

After all, the latter is an evil technology purely used to enslave and manipulate others, while the former, if used properly, will become an important means for humans to fight against the threat of the subspace.

"What initial definition do you think should be set in the mind control tower to stamp the ideology of the empire's army?" asked Luo Xi.

Since thought stamping places a certain burden on the human brain, it must be concise and precise enough, as well as precise and detailed enough.

"I understand that the main purpose of the Thought Seal is to address the problem that mortals are easily corrupted by words from the High Heaven when they come into contact with enemies in the Warp."

Malcador said, "In fact, the Empire has always been implementing this, but it is not as direct and straightforward as the Thought Stamp."

The concept mentioned by Malcador is actually the imperial truth that has always been preached.

The core of the so-called Imperial Truth is that the universe is rational, and knowledge can defeat fear and save mankind from the terror of the Age of Strife.

Imperial Truth denies irrationality and superstition, and abandons belief in powers and creeds beyond cognition.

The Emperor always seems to want to use the Imperial Truth to explain everything in the universe. He emphasizes rationality and thinking, and opposes blind faith and worship.

"This is a lie. The Imperial Truth is close to bankruptcy." Luo Xi said.

Perhaps during the Great Crusade, the Imperial Truth still had many supporters, but by now, even if one had not witnessed the tides of the Warp Sea rising and the beings called Warp Demons coming into the world, one had at least heard of the existence of demons.

The terrifying existence from the warp preys on human souls and devours their flesh and blood, making countless humans tremble with fear.

The white lie woven by the Emperor has become ineffective. The fewer people know about the existence of the Warp, the less influence the Warp can exert. The idealistic power of the Supreme Heaven is never reasonable. The Lord of Mankind once tried to use this to put humanity on the right track.

"Just because it's bankrupt doesn't mean it's useless. Now with your stamp of thought, the Imperial Truth can be used again," said Malcador.

The concepts that can be reinforced by the stamp of thought also have different depths. If a concept is constructed out of thin air without sufficient subjective impressions to support it, then it will naturally not be as solid as a real concept.

The beauty of the Imperial Truth lies in the fact that it is a concept that has taken hundreds of years to continuously consolidate and strengthen.

It is equivalent to the Empire Truth having already laid the foundation, and then building a house on it, which is naturally more solid and reliable than building a house on a muddy pit.

"The Imperial Truth is not entirely a lie. It makes sense most of the time to use it to explain the real universe."

"How do you describe it?" Luo Xi said.

The seal bearer stroked his long beard, wondering what kind of ideological seal he should add to the imperial army of the solar system.

After a long time, he finally calmed down and gave his answer.

"The universe and humans are rational."

Malcador's answer was a little surprising. He did not choose loyalty-oriented ideas such as "loyalty to the Emperor, loyalty to the Empire", nor did he have extreme emotions such as "hatred of the Warp, hatred of Chaos".

This experienced Eternal Prime Minister knows the truth about the Warp. In fact, both extremely negative emotions and extremely positive emotions will resonate in the Warp.

Extreme hatred is likely to be distorted by the other party into the opposite form.

And blind loyalty is not what he and the emperor want to see.

The fundamental purpose of the empire's existence is to save mankind. Such a corrupt and rigid existence as the empire itself is not worthy of being saved. The real meaning of the empire's existence is to allow as many humans as possible to survive in this dark universe.

He also hopes that every human being can have his or her own iron will and look at humanity and the universe, including the evil existence in the subspace, with a rational attitude.

It is extremely difficult for humans to remain rational, but under the influence of thought, they may be able to get infinitely close to rationality.

After the secret meeting between Roche, Malcador and Rogal Dorn, the content of the ideological seal was quickly finalized.

The Universe and Humans Are Rational

【Everything for humanity】

This is a thought stamp that the three people came up with after comprehensive consideration, which can effectively target the cognitive pollution and chaos corruption of the subspace, while not causing too much negative impact on the human brain and personality.

Humans who are constantly stamped with thoughts by the Mind Control Tower will instinctively view the world in a rational way at the brain level, even those demons who are full of the power of the subspace and look like ghosts, thus greatly increasing their resistance to the pollution of the subspace.

Sage Rand also made rapid progress. Together with his disciples and the newly joined stone men, he completely analyzed the mind control tower recorded in the Moravec Cube.

Moravec had already conceived and designed it, so it would be almost a complete and mature technological product after it was analyzed.

When they input the organized data model into the intelligent brain core on Ganymede, this new technological star began to operate, and the industrial system that had been ready long ago began mass production with absolute precision.

Metal minerals from the asteroid belt and a large amount of gaseous matter from Jupiter gathered here through the cooperation of gravity wells and space mining ships.

The ore refining center and the matter fusion center can produce the necessary materials to support the operation of the system.

The STC suitable for standardized manufacturing operated perfectly under the control of artificial intelligence. Structural components and functional elements were produced one after another. Later, with the efforts of the team led by Arkan Rand, the Mind Control Tower Unit 01 finally stood on Ganymede.

"We have found another lost treasure of the God of All Machines. Praise the God of All Machines, praise Om Messiah."

“It’s time to experiment and see how well it works.”

Many sages of the Mechanicum, as well as representatives of the Sigillites and Space Marines from Terra, came to the scene on Ganymede. They stayed outside in a safe location, waiting for the upcoming experiment.

The existence of the Mind Control Tower is no secret. In fact, many scholars who study and work on Ganymede know that Sage Arkan Rand is working with Sage Roshi to restore and create a relic technology that can change the human mind.

This is something that cannot be concealed. Roche and Malcador's goal is to stamp the thoughts of all mortals in the solar system, so there is no point in keeping it secret.

"I have mobilized a company of soldiers from the Solar Auxiliary Army. They will serve as the second batch of subjects in the experiment." Luo Xi said to Akan Rand.

The sage raised his brows, and the electronic monkey on his shoulder scratched his wig, and then he held it down.

"Of course, the first batch of experimenters will not use our precious loyal warriors as guinea pigs. Even in Terra, the throne world of mankind, there is no shortage of Chaos cultists and enemy spies."

"Let's squeeze out a little bit of value from their worthless lives."

Luo Xi sneered and pointed at a group of mortal traitors who were being brought to the scene. Most of them had horrific tattoos and tattoos on their bodies. Even though they had been completely detained, they still kept on spouting blasphemous words.

"The false emperor will eventually fail, and only the gods of the subspace can save humanity!"

“Ahahahaha! Humanity is hopeless, hopeless. Why don’t we join me in believing in the God of Wisdom…”

With cries, curses, and weird laughter, these cultists demonstrated the diversity of human species. They even attacked and fought each other because of their different beliefs.

This is the epitome of Chaos belief. In fact, Chaos’ greatest enemy is not humans, but other Chaos.

Malcador generously sponsored a group of Chaos cultists captured by the Assassins' Court and the Custodes from Terra's intricate hive cities. These traitors who had fallen into the Warp's faith had been trying to incite riots on Terra in order to disrupt the normal operation of Terra.

According to the usual practice, these rebels were directly executed on the spot by the Imperial Guard and any traces of the warp contamination were dealt with. However, considering the ongoing experiments on Roche's side, the Sigillite generously transferred a group of traitors who had not yet been executed to Ganymede.

It is called waste utilization.

"As for the Space Marines, Dorn has sent a squad of Imperial Fists and some Black Shield Astartes. They will experiment with the specific effects of the Thought Seal on the Astartes."

As the Emperor's genetically modified warriors, it goes without saying that the Astartes are determined. Before the results came out, Roxi didn't know what the situation would be.

It is worth mentioning that the Astartes leading this Imperial Fists team is Captain Alexis Pollux, who is very familiar to Roche. Considering that he knows Roche, Dorn specially asked him to participate in this experiment.

Next to the Imperial Fists painted in bright yellow are a group of Space Marines whose armor paint has been changed and their legion emblems have been erased.

They all wore helmets, and Luo Xi couldn't see their faces clearly, nor could he tell which legion they were originally from.

The so-called Black Shields usually refer to those warriors in the rebel legions who were loyal to the Emperor or those warriors in the loyal legions who betrayed the Emperor for various reasons after the Horus Heresy.

Some of them had to leave because of mental disorders or serious physical mutations, while others left because they felt distrustful of both sides of the rebellion and became discouraged.

The black shields that now appear on Ganymede are naturally the loyalists among the rebel army.

"Malcador is still worried about them. Although they have proven their position many times, the seal holder still wants to stamp their thoughts on them as an extra layer of insurance."

Luo Xi thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud. After all, doubting loyalists is an extremely sensitive thing, especially for those who are deeply trapped in the swamp of rebellion but still remain staunchly loyal.

The traitorous mortals were escorted into bright rooms made of silver-white metal. Each mortal cultist had a separate space to observe their reactions.

The constantly rotating mind control tower standing in the center of the square, under the operation of the mechanical priest, began to gradually release waves that could impose a thought stamp.

As their energy levels increased, the psychics immersed in the transparent glass tower at the top began to wail and scream. Their psychic energy was continuously drained away, and their bodies began to become thin and shriveled as if they were drained.

Psionic energy is closely related to consciousness and soul. Every second that the Mind Control Tower operates requires a huge amount of psychic energy. This is one of the reasons why Sage Rand believes that this technological creation is extremely cruel.

"Fortunately, the Empire lacks everything except uncontrollable psykers. Since the emergence of the Eye of Terror, more and more people with volatile psykers have appeared in the human community. The power of the Aether is becoming more active than ever before."

"We only need to bring more people to the Black Ship of the Sisters of Silence to meet the needs of the Mind Control Tower."

The experiment is underway, and those rebellious mortals who believe in the evil gods of the Warp are beginning to be influenced by the Mind Control Tower.

They suddenly became motionless like machines that had stopped working. The blasphemous religious rituals and the endless curses fell into silence, and the imprint of thoughts was being imprinted on their brains.

The Universe and Humans Are Rational

This concept was recorded into the brain. The huge machine was roaring, white light was flashing on the metal array, and the space seemed to be distorted at this moment.

About fifteen minutes later, when the high-speed rotating mind control tower stopped running, the subspace believers who were undergoing the experiment had completed the implantation of the thought stamp.

"Now, it's time to see the results. I hope it will be successful." Luo Xi couldn't help but hold the railing in front of him tightly, muttering to himself.

At this moment, everyone present felt nervous, even Akan Rand, who led the team to analyze the mind control tower. He didn't know whether the technological relic he retrieved would work as expected.

The air was filled with heavy breathing sounds, and from time to time there was the sound of dripping equipment and instruments running, accompanied by a burst of sticky white mist gushing out. The rooms where the mortal cultists were imprisoned were also opened one by one, and the sound of mechanical gears turning rang out one after another.

Afterwards, the cultists walked out one after another. They looked dazed, even indifferent, completely different from their previous crazy and arrogant appearance.

Luo Xi noticed that their previously distorted eyes were now calmer than ever before, without any emotional waves surging.
