The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"Didn't he say that he would leave Mars after completing the research? Is it because he couldn't find another employer?" Ou Ge still remembered that Gregor said he wanted to go to other forging worlds, so why didn't anyone want him now?

But this is good news for everyone, because they are in need of an oil man to "cover their tracks".

"So what do you say?" Apu looked at Brother Ou, "Should we call him over?"

"Of course, our future plans do require a Forge World."

Everyone came to the Londe Yar sector not just to develop the planet Tyria. Their purpose was very clear, which was to emulate a certain Ki Regent and create a small Second Five Hundred World first.

But now everyone has to deal with Tyrael and the galaxy it is in first. In their plan, a matching forging world is indispensable, and they can also have a reasonable source of equipment.

Where there is a forging world, there must be an oil man. At the beginning, everyone was planning to let an artificial human act as the oil man, but now a real oil man has come to their door on his own initiative, and this oil man is in line with everyone's ideas, so why don't they accept him?

"So did I reply to Gregor?" Gloria asked.

"Well, let's call him over first."

Ou Ge has already started thinking about how to entertain Gregor. Once you get on their pirate ship, there is no way you can escape.

Gregor completed his research shortly before the end of the Gothic War, after which he left Mars with his disciples. Over the years, he visited many Forge Worlds, but in the end, they all ended in nothing.

This is not because Gregor's vision is too high. For him, the conditions of the forging world are not important, what is important is the environment. He left because he could not stand the closed environment of Mars. If the forging world he joined is still like this, why doesn't he stay on Mars.

The big foundry world looked down on him, and none of the small foundry worlds were interested in him. He was stuck there.

But this is not a solution, because too much money has been spent on research, and Gregor no longer has much money. If he delays it any longer, he won't be able to afford to eat, and he won't be able to maintain the things he has.

After much thought, Gregor decided to find a place to live out his days, at least to prevent himself from starving to death, but where could he go now?

Gregor thought about his few connections, and then he thought about the strange Astartes Chapter he had met decades ago, and it was this Chapter that funded his research.

"Teacher, is the Nebula Hammer Regiment really willing to take us in?" Berani asked his teacher. The master and disciple had been wandering for more than ten years. If they couldn't find a good place to go, they wouldn't even be able to make ends meet.

"What do you mean by take me in? Can you even speak? We're like birds of prey choosing their own trees. Those Forge Worlds aren't worth our while. We'd be better off cooperating with the Nebula Hammer." Gregor said stubbornly, "Although I'm down and out now, I'm still a half-step Great Sage. If I want, I can go to any Forge World. Joining the Nebula Hammer is a blessing for them!"

"But teacher, have you ever felt better?"

Ever since Berlani became Gregor's disciple, he felt that his teacher had always been in a miserable state.

"Of course not, I was your teacher back then."

Gregor was about to tell Berene about his glorious deeds again when the servitor told him that he had received a message from the Nebula Hammer Regiment.

After reading the message, Gregor couldn't help laughing. He showed it to Berlani and said:

"Look, the Nebula Hammer is asking me to come over. They understand my talent."

Having a place to go, Belaini became happy and asked:

"Where is the Nebula Hammer now?"

Gregor looked at the location mentioned in the message:

"Let me see, the location is...Londe Yar sector?"

(I'd like to wish all my readers a happy new year. I've been dragged back to my hometown these past two days, and various things have kept me busy, so I haven't had time to touch my phone and write anything. I only found some time today.)

Chapter 118 Joining the gang

When Gregor first saw the location, he thought he was seeing things. What kind of godforsaken place was the Londejar Sector? He looked at the coordinates, and it was so close to the edge of the Astronomican, and so close to the Ghoul Stars. Was it trying to trick him into going there and getting his ass chopped off?

Gregor thought to himself that he was poor and he couldn't get any money out of being tricked into the park. Could it be that they were attracted by the knowledge in his head?

After looking at the location, Berlani asked worriedly:

"Teacher, are we still going?"

"... Let's go. We don't have a choice anyway, right?"

Gregor thought for a long time and decided to go find the Nebula Hammer. His life was worthless, and if something really happened, the worst that could happen was that he would go to see Om Messiah. But he felt sorry for Belenni, who had followed a teacher like him and had not had a good life in all these years.

The master and disciple are currently in the Extreme Star Field, not too far from the Londe Yar Star Region. In addition, the subspace has been relatively stable during this period, so the two arrived at their destination not long after.

After arriving, Greg II found that the environment in Tyrael was actually quite good. He had briefly analyzed the environment of this galaxy. It was simply a fantasy that such a garden-like planet could be born in this damn place. It was obviously not purely natural.

But the Mechanicus wouldn't go to a place like this and waste so much resources to blast a garden world out of existence. Could it be that the Nebula Hammer did it themselves? Where did they get the technology to terraform planets?

Gregor met Ogo in the starport of Tyria. The two exchanged a few pleasantries at first, saying things like they hadn't seen each other for over fifty years and how they were doing, but they were just acquaintances and not familiar with each other at all.

"Is Sage Gregor's research complete?"

Ou Ge still remembers his investment. If Gregor's modified organs are completed, they may be able to use them in the future.

"It is precisely because of this that I will leave Mars, Chapter Master Uldren. I also have to thank you for your help, otherwise I would not have been able to complete this research."

Gregor has completed his research on organ modification. This set of organs can allow ordinary people to surpass the limits of the human body. Although the degree of enhancement is not as good as that of an Astartes, it is stable and can be inherited. The side effect of shortening life has also been eliminated by Gregor. Now the only drawback of this set of organs is the cost. Cultivating a set of organs and performing modification surgery is not much cheaper than building an Astartes.

"But I guess this technology of mine will just rot in my hands." Gregor said self-deprecatingly. The technology he researched was of no use to the Empire. Putting aside the safety issues, under the premise that the warriors transformed by this technology were not as strong as the Astartes and the cost was not much cheaper, why didn't the Empire just build the Astartes directly?

As for heredity, it was even more useless. How much could coinage increase the population? Unless the entire population of a planet were transformed at once, the number of people wouldn't even be enough to form an army. This brought up the issue of cost. With such resources, let alone the creation of several new Astartes Chapters, the Empire might as well use the Astra Militarum to increase its numbers. It was cheaper and more effective. After all, the last thing the Empire needed was people.

"That's not necessarily true. Your technology may change the future of mankind, Sage Gregor." said Ou Ge.

When Gregor arrived, Gloria invaded his battleship and got the research data inside.

Gregor's modified organs are technically perfect, with little room for modification. The cost is not a problem for everyone. The only concern is safety. This biotechnology has the risk of being added to by Chaos, and a careless mistake could lead to serious corruption.

Fortunately, Gloria can avoid the risk of chaos. This technology is absolutely safe in their hands, and Gloria can achieve everyone's goals based on this technology.

Gloria's research on escaping the warp has yielded results. As mentioned before, it is impossible to artificially create untouchables. Gloria can only think of other ways, and everyone gave her inspiration. Aren't there six humans who are not involved in the warp in front of her?

Gloria forcibly dragged them into Warhammer 40k. The people from another universe have nothing to do with the Warp, and their souls have no projection in the Warp.

So Gloria came up with an idea. She used everyone as a template and integrated some of the characteristics of the Untouchables to create a genetic modification plan. This plan required a 40k vector. Gloria was still thinking about it when Gregor delivered the vector to her door.

Gloria's modification plan can be added to Gregor's modified organs. The person who undergoes the operation will not change much, but their descendants will have almost no connection with the warp. Except for the soul returning to the warp after death, they are warp insulators during their lifetime, and their souls will not produce projections in the warp. The price is that people with psychic talents will no longer be born. Super soldiers like Astartes who have been exposed to the warp may no longer be created, but is this a price to pay for mankind?

This is why Ogo said that Gregor's technology can change the future of mankind. When this technology becomes popular in the empire, the influence of Chaos on mankind will be greatly weakened, but it cannot be done now.

The empire is too big. Even if the whole empire is united, it will take hundreds of years to promote this technology to the entire empire. But this is impossible no matter how you think about it. The High Lords and the Mechanicus are not people who can accomplish anything. We should be thankful that they don't cause trouble, not to mention what Chaos will do. There is no guarantee that the technology handed over will be replaced after a round, and if something goes wrong then everyone will have to take the blame.

In a nutshell, unless the emperor can stand up and coordinate the overall situation, no matter how much everyone does, it will be useless because the right to speak is not in their hands.

Saving humanity is a long and arduous task, so everyone should first take care of their own territory.

After chatting for a while, Gregor said to Ou Ge a little embarrassedly:

"Captain Uldren, as you can see, my current situation is somewhat embarrassing, so..."

"I understand Sage Gregor's intentions. Nebula Hammer welcomes you. We also happen to need Sage Gregor's help with something."

"That's great. As long as there's something I can do, I'll definitely do it."

Seeing that Brother Ou agreed to take him in, Gregor said that if he needed him, he could just tell him and he would do his best as long as he could.

This is what you said.

"Welcome aboard, Sage Gregor."

Ou Ge and Gregor signed a contract to lock the person down first, so that he wouldn't regret it and run away later.

After signing the contract, Gregor asked:

"I don't know what Chapter Master Uldren wants me to do. Although I'm a biological sage, I'm also good at managing and maintaining weapons."

"Why bother Sage Gregor with such a trivial matter? The tasks I have entrusted to you are far more important than managing the weapons."

"whats the matter?"

Hearing that an important task was entrusted to him, Gregor was happy, but he also had a bad feeling.

"Manage a forging world." said Brother Ou.

"Forge World?"

Gregor thought Ogo was joking. There was no Forge World in this star region. He said to Ogo:

"Chapter Master Uldren, are you sure? There's no Forge World in this system, or even in this entire sector. You're not planning to build a new one, are you? But you can't just build a Forge World whenever you want."

Aside from the Forge Worlds recovered by the Empire during the Great Crusade, permission from Mars Headquarters was required to build new Forge Worlds.

In the ten thousand years after the Great Heresy, the Empire had been building new Forge Worlds, but in very small numbers, because building a Forge World was too difficult. Many of the newly built Forge Worlds did not have any good products and could only follow the other Forge Worlds to survive.

"I'm not kidding, Sage Gregor, but you are right. We want to build a new forge world. I know you want to talk about the issue of permission. Would I mention this if there was no permission?" Brother Ou took out the permission to build a new forge world. The Emperor had prepared everything for them.

Gregor took a look and saw that it was indeed a permit from Mars, and the seal on it could not be faked.

"Are you serious, Chapter Master Uldren?"

"I'm serious. The Nebula Hammer's target is not just this planet. We need a forging world to provide support." Brother Ou said. This forging world may be useless, but they must have it.

Gregor fell into deep thought, and after a long while he continued:

"Even with permission, building a new Forge World is not easy. It would take at least several hundred years, and the resources required would be astronomical, not to mention the population."

Gregor listed a bunch of things he would need to build a new Forge World, but none of them were the most important.

"For a forging world, the most important thing is the technology that serves as its foundation."

Those famous forging worlds all have their own unique skills, such as Ryza's plasma technology, Belacken's stasis stance, etc., and most of these technologies are monopolized. If there is no technology that is sufficient to gain a foothold, then they can only ask other forging worlds for technology authorization, which is equivalent to having their lifeblood held by others.

"Although I consider myself a genius, I am just an ordinary sage. My knowledge cannot support a forge world. Captain Uldren should seek help from someone else." Gregor knew his own limitations. Managing a large laboratory was no problem for him, but forging a world was a bit too much.

"Who says we don't have the technology?" Ou Ge took out a black mechanical cube and said, "Come in and try, Sage Gregor."

Gregor didn't doubt anything. If the other party wanted to harm him, why would he use this method? He connected a data cable to the cube and began to check the data inside.

"Oh my God..." After taking a look at the data in the cube, Gregor's voice began to tremble.

"How's that, Gregor the Sage."

The cube in Ou Ge's hand is actually an integrated 'STC'. The technology stored in it is beyond imagination. Basically, it contains all the technology that can be thought of, as well as many technologies that the empire has long lost and has not discovered. There are even a lot of alien technologies. Many of these technologies are beyond Gregor's understanding.

Gregor quickly unplugged the data cable, fearing that if he looked at it any longer he would become addicted.

After a long pause, Gregor said to Ou Ge excitedly:

"Do you know the value of this, Chapter Master Uldren?"

If the news of this 'STC' gets out, the Mechanicus will turn the galaxy upside down for this thing, and it is not impossible that a civil war will break out within the Mechanicus.

"I know. I believe Sage Gregor won't tell anyone about this, right?"

After hearing what Ou Ge said, Gregor realized that he was on a pirate ship. Once he connected to STC, he had no choice.

"What is your purpose?" Gregor asked. What exactly did the Nebula Hammer want to do, being able to come up with something that was enough to drive the entire Mechanicus crazy?

"Saving humanity is our goal," said Ou Ge, waiting for Gregor's decision.

"Save humanity..."

Gregor was stunned for a moment. Could this be a lie? But why would the other party lie to him?

With the STC in hand, the Nebula Hammer could win over any Forge World, but they chose to build a new one of their own and let a down-and-out sage like me manage it. What did the Nebula Hammer see in me?

After much thought, Gregor made up his mind:

"Okay, I did it!"

Since the Nebula Hammer has lofty ideals, why shouldn't I join? I have no choice anyway, so I might as well do something big.

"We were right about you, Sage Gregor."

Brother Ou held Gregor's hand. He had set a lot of traps for Gregor just now, but Gregor avoided them all. He was worthy of being the oil man that everyone had their eyes on.

"How long will it take for construction of the new Forge World to begin? Chapter Master Uldren," Gregor asked.

"Sage Gregor, don't worry about this. There is another matter that needs your attention."

"What's the matter again?" Gregor asked doubtfully. What else did he need to do?

"Does the sage have any like-minded companions?"

"Chapter Master Uldren wishes to..."

Brother Ou nodded. Gregor was not the only mechanic who wanted to progress and develop in the Mechanicus. However, in order to avoid being destroyed, most of these mechanics had gone into hiding. What Brother Ou wanted to do was to dig all of them out.

"I see, there must be, but there might be a bit too many people." Gregor thought of some of his old friends and those hidden schools.

"The more people, the better. I'm just starting to develop here and I'm really short of people."

The more ambitious oil men there are, the better, but everyone will also screen the people Gregor brings to prevent bad guys from sneaking in.

"Well, I won't let you down, Chapter Master Uldren."

Gregor said nothing more, as he prepared to set off as soon as he had his supplies.

"Teacher, have you finished your talk with Chapter Master Orton?" Berani asked when Gregor returned. "Is it possible that you are being disliked?"
