Chapter 281 The Forged General of Mars: A heretic, an unforgivable heretic!
"Well..."
Ron frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
After all, it's mechanical The forum was an extremely new thing, and even those forge worlds were unable to accept it at first.
Not to mention the extremely conservative Mars headquarters.
As far as he knew, the current Martian Forge General and Supreme Lord of the Mechanicus, Udia Laski, was an extreme conservative.
Even conservatives think he is conservative.
During the Fall of Cadia.
Because Cadia has the only, stable and permanent space channel that can enter and exit the "Eye of Fear".
It is an important fortress world that the Empire stands at the door of Chaos to contain the "Eye of Terror".
In order to save Cadia, an important fortress of the empire.
The Council of High Lords proposed to abolish the Edict of Restriction, allowing the Custodes to leave Holy Terra and go to support Cadia.
However, this decree encountered firm personal opposition from Udiya and failed to take effect.
Eventually, Cadia was destroyed by Abaddon.
The consequences of this are similar to the fall of Shanhaiguan in the Ming Dynasty.
The empire lost the important gateway of Cadia and could only allow Chaos to flow unimpeded, resulting in heavy losses.
It is difficult to say that Udiya is not responsible for this.
Moreover, the Mars-forged general is not only conservative, but also likes to seize power and start struggles.
He is also responsible for the current decay of the Mechanicus.
Now, the rise of the mechanical forum has seriously affected the status of the Mars headquarters.
In this case, it’s impossible for the Mars-forged general Udiya to not react?
"Strange, so strange..."
Ron held his chin, thinking over and over again, puzzled.
Compared to such weird calmness, he prefers Mars to give a little reaction.
This way he can at least have some peace of mind.
In short, the crisis in the machinery forum still exists.
The Martian headquarters of the Mechanicus, or the follow-up actions of the Martian forging general, affects the fate of the Mechanical Forum.
Alas...
Ron sighed.
He stood up from the table and chair and walked straight to the balcony, overlooking the brightly lit planet surface.
"Well, it feels a little like the lights of thousands of houses..."
Now the planet Euse has full access to water, electricity and the Internet.
Wherever there are people.
Even the remote Void Remnant tribe located in the forest can enjoy these infrastructures.
In view of the Void Remnant's outstanding dedication to their territory, and out of respect for their customs.
Ron reserved a large area of primitive jungle especially for them.
In addition to the development of technology.
The territory is also in full swing in terms of people's livelihood, building a large number of infrastructures on various planets to provide protection.
Let everyone enjoy the glory of the Savior.
Doing so will also allow people to provide a higher quality of hope.
But this is only a basic guarantee.
The territory is always promoting the faith of the Savior and warning of the impending war.
A large number of people have joined the army's logistics department, agricultural department engineering team and mining team, working enthusiastically for the future of the territory.
At the same time, high-quality people enter Zhongsi College to study and serve in various organizations after graduation.
Ron looked up at the moon. Several bright golden light spots were shining like stars.
It was a purifying star ring connected to the golden solar energy.
He listened to the advice of the Ministry of Interior think tank and built a purification star ring several kilometers in diameter.
Those star rings are like purification portals.
Provide decontamination and cleaning services for passing ships and old ships towed back from subspace.
When each ship passes through the purification star ring, it will be fully illuminated by the sacred light, completely cleaning out the attached chaotic matter.
At the same time, there are also some cleanup troops and space warriors stationed in the star ring, responsible for cleaning up some chaotic life forms inside the ship.
Ron watched quietly for a while, then returned to the bedroom to rest.
The matter of the Martian headquarters of the Mechanicus will be put on hold for the time being, waiting for them to respond.
Within a few days, he learned about the current situation of Mars from sporadic posts on the machinery forum.
The situation is not very good.
...
The devastated red planet with a turbid atmosphere floats quietly in the void.
On the equatorial belt, the orbital factory surrounds it, forming an iron star ring.
On the surface, there are hive cities stretching for tens of kilometers, and their foundations penetrate deep underground.
This is the empire’s greatest and most sacred forging world, the red star—Mars!
As the headquarters of the Mechanicus, a large number of technical priests have lived here for generations, forming an immeasurable knowledge base.
"Nothing will stop you from pursuing knowledge; no one will stop you from pursuing and obtaining sacred technology; no one will stop you from standing under the seat of the God of All Machines..."< br>
That was once the true mantra of the Mechanicus.
However, in the 41st millennium of the Empire, all this was crumbling.
Strict hierarchical system, widespread scholarly atmosphere, and information barriers formed over thousands of years.
Almost blocking the flow of knowledge.
Conservative, decadent, feudal, and monopolistic, this association of academic personnel is increasingly declining.
Like a pool of stagnant water.
However, not long ago, the mechanical forum emerged, igniting the spark of knowledge.
Information barriers are broken.
Those technical priests at the bottom can study freely and gain access to noble knowledge that has been difficult to access for generations.
Not long after, the mechanical forum spread to Mars.
However, those spreading intellectual sparks were stifled by conservatives and were quickly extinguished.
Today, Mars is silent and everyone is in danger.
Buzz~
on track.
Several large, ugly signal jamming devices affect communications from the outside.
To be more precise, it is specifically designed to isolate signals from mechanical forums.
Acid descends on the hive city.
A light mist filled the air.
For a long time, these acid mist have corroded the buildings of the hive city, causing mottled dark green rust to form on the exterior of the buildings.
“Run!”
The sudden voice sounded shrill, but the person who made the voice was quickly subdued.
A figure rushed out of the mist.
That was a young technical priest wearing a dirty robe.
His name is Buna.
Buna held the things in his arms and struggled forward to escape.
Behind him, there was the rhythmic sound of metal tapping the ground.
Buna is being hunted by the Dracula.
This is one of the scariest things on Mars.
However, he did not give up, nor did he intend to hand over what he had in his arms, because... that was hope!
More hydraulic pressure was injected into the mechanical limbs, and Buna's speed further increased.
In a few seconds, he escaped a hundred meters away and disappeared into the complex mechanical alley.
However, the mechanical limbs of the Guardian Troopers are more advanced, faster, and equipped with a divination device.
They soon tracked Buna's trail.
"Warning! Warning!"
The stiff electronic voice of the guardian robot seemed particularly cold: "Contraband detected, hand it over immediately to await trial!"
"The target escapes and the pursuit procedure is executed. , the use of lethal force is allowed..."
"Target locked!"
The guard robot raised his plasma gun and aimed at the running figure.
Zi~
A few rays shot away.
The young tech-priest's limbs were fused.
He suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. The data pad in his arms flew out and fell to the street.
The security guards grabbed him and locked him up, and pronounced him guilty: "The arrest is complete, the charge is...technical heresy, the punishment is...deprivation of the body and hard labor!"
"Those are not heretical technologies!"
Oil is constantly dripping from Buna's body, flowing freely along the ground.
He roared angrily:
"There is no evil technology in the mechanical forum, and all the knowledge and information there comes from the sharing of knowledge seekers.
The network there , cleaner and more pure than any communication network on Mars!
We just want the opportunity to learn, what’s wrong with that? ”
But the defensive robots ignored the words of this technical heretic at all, and any of his narratives and excuses were invalid.
Moreover, he had no right to appeal.< br>
A guard soldier walked up to the data board with several Xiaoling emblems on it, scanned it, and then issued an order:
“Find the prohibited object and destroy it! ”
"No!!!"
Under Buna's angry gaze, the guard robot raised his foot and trampled the data board to pieces.
Then it is completely melted into molten iron by spraying it.
At this moment, Buna's heart was filled with despair.
Hope is gone.
The coveted knowledge and learning opportunities were ruthlessly crushed.
Buna was born into a family of technical priests at the bottom of Mars.
Compared to hard labor and labor, it is a good background.
For generations, their family has been serving a mechanical sage, responsible for maintaining and repairing machines in a weapons manufacturing factory.
All the knowledge the Bunners had was about that old machine.
Apart from this, they have no access to other knowledge and are not allowed to.
This is true no matter how talented you are.
Buna’s life can be said to have been shaped from the moment he was born.
He will get a license agreement and follow his father to learn the maintenance knowledge of that machine.
After he officially becomes a technical priest, his whole life will revolve around that machine, without any other possibility.
What's even more frightening is that Buna has no right to refuse at all. In view of that technical confidentiality agreement from hundreds of years ago.
They must stay in the mechanical sage's factory for generations to prevent precious mechanical knowledge from leaking out.
Even if that mechanical knowledge no longer has advantages, it has become a common knowledge system for all the major forging worlds in the empire.
Buna also wants to appeal to readjust the agreement to gain more freedom.
But they are not qualified to meet the mechanical sages.
Although the Buna family has served the Mechanical Sage for generations, their family has not seen that sage for nearly two hundred years.
It is not even clear whether the other party has stayed on Mars or is alive.
Those low-level technical priest families can only follow the agreement hundreds or even thousands of years ago, receive meager salaries, and repeat the exact same fate.
Continue to maintain the operation of the weapons manufacturing factory.
Even if that factory has had no new orders for hundreds of years.
They maintained the machinery, manufactured the weapons, and then sent them to the warehouse, and then a spaceship came and transported them away at the same time.
It goes on year after year.
Buna is smart and quick to learn, and he mastered the skills of repairing machines in a very short time.
Under his management, the centuries-old machine ran very well with almost no failures.
If given the chance, he could even build a better machine.
After work, he always wants to learn new things.
However, Buna did not have any channels to obtain new knowledge.
Those information barriers are like a big mountain, isolating most of the seekers of knowledge.
Unless he is willing to risk going to the black market of knowledge to obtain unauthorized knowledge.
But the risks are too high.
The knowledge in the black market is often mixed with unknown dangers, and is severely attacked by the Skitarii.
One of Buna's friends was judged as a technical heretic because he went to the black market to obtain unauthorized knowledge.
Thereby depriving the electronic brain and becoming a hard labor.
Many years have passed since the boring days of looking at the earth at a glance.
Finally, Buna couldn't help it and went to the black market of knowledge.
There, the members of the Mechanical Goddess believers group gave him a data pad and the badge of the Little Spirit Goddess.
These things became the only light in his life.
Via datapad.
Buna entered the Mechanical Forum, a coveted new world where there is endless knowledge waiting for him to explore.
There, he learned the mechanical knowledge he was interested in and published many ideas.
Received constant praise from forum members.
Many sages even praised his talent, saying that he would definitely become a mechanical sage in the future.
Sometimes, Buna also thinks about it.
It would be great if the sage their family serves was as enlightened as the sage in the forum.
However, this is just fantasy.
Because the Mechanical Magus whom Buna serves belongs to the faction of Mars Forge General Udia.
They are extremely conservative, pay more attention to the class system, and are almost unwilling to share and update any knowledge.
Even the weapons manufacturing factory is still manufacturing the weapons that were developed hundreds of years ago.
There is no longer any competitiveness.
It belongs to a category of weapons products that are expensive and poor.
However, due to the Martian Forge General's status within the Empire, the weapons manufacturing factory still received permanent orders from the Astra Militarum.
If there are no accidents, all this will continue for hundreds or thousands of years.
When will it end?
It mainly depends on how long the Martian forged general can live.
Many people hate the Martian Forge General Udia, but there is nothing they can do.
As a great sage, Udia has average knowledge, mediocre talent, and little management ability.
But he still became the Forging General of Mars and the Supreme Lord of the Mechanicum.
Because he is conservative and extreme enough, he devotes almost all his attention to power struggles.
Although Udiya is often self-defeating, he is vicious and destructive enough to be feared.
What's more.
He is "orthodox" enough.
Not only did it receive the support of the Titan Order and the Imperial Knight Family, but there was also great help from the "Void Dragon" Guardian Order.
It can be said to be the leader of conservatives.
Even if Udiya is incompetent, corrupt, and stubborn, he likes to start fights and engage in foolish fights that harm others and do not benefit himself.
It caused too much damage to the Empire and the Adeptus Mechanicus, resulting in the death of many people.
But in any case, Uldia is the Forging General of Mars and the Supreme Lord of the Mechanicus.
He controls the Mechanicus, which represents the other head of the Imperial Sky Eagle, and half of the empire.
After all, most of the empire’s battleships, firearms, power armor, Titans, Imperial Knights, heavy vehicles, etc.
They are all manufactured by the Forge World controlled by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Theoretically, even a former emperor should give him some respect.
In terms of status, he is not inferior to the original body.
Even the returned Primarch Guilliman had to hold his nose and recognize Udia's status and philosophy.
Unless he wants to provoke a struggle between the Mechanicum and Holy Terra, plunging the Empire into chaos.
In short, the status of the Mars Forged General is unshakable!
Buna saw these secrets in the secret complaints section of the machinery forum.
The posts greeting the Martian Forged Generals occupy a considerable part, and have been specially marked and refined.
Buna did not pay too much attention to these, the Martian Forging General was too far away from him.
What will happen to that noble being is not something he is qualified to speculate on.
If nothing else happens.
He will continue to be tied up in the dark factory, spending his life around that complex and old machine day after day.
Buna can accept these.
Because he has a mechanical forum.
In that virtual world, there is endless knowledge to explore, and you can make friends from all over the galaxy.
Moreover, the people in the Mechanical Goddess Order are very good, and they jointly believe in and support the Little Spirit Goddess.
They will help each other, make all kinds of beautiful coats of arms, and are willing to share more knowledge and resources with people who share common interests.
When Buna was in the black market, the believer of the Mechanical Goddess just glanced at the badge and asked him if it looked good.
After getting a positive answer.
The believer generously gave him the data pad for free and also gave him several badges.
They are all made of very rare metal materials.
For Buna, this was enough and he wanted nothing more.
However, his beautiful life soon shattered.
Suddenly, the mechanical forum signals on Mars were blocked by interference.
Under the orders of the Forged General of Mars.
The entire planet is under martial law, and the Apostolic Mechs are hunting down any Tech-Priests who use the Mechanical Forum.
For a time, everyone was in danger.
More and more people were captured or brutally killed in the hunt, and even the believer who originally gave him the data pad lost contact.
Now, it's Buna's turn.
“Dirty technological heresy and stinking faith!”
The guardian robot stepped on the pile of molten iron again and kicked it away into the garbage heap.
"Asshole, I'll fight you!"
Buna struggled. Without his mechanical limbs, he had no power to fight back.
He was quickly dragged away by the protective machine soldiers.
In the shadows, many Tech-Priests watched all this angrily.
But there is nothing we can do.
They are simply unable to fight against the guardian robots and those more noble beings.
That unshakable existence extinguished the spark of knowledge on Mars with an unstoppable momentum.
And no one can stop him.
……
The Temple of the God of All Machines.
In the magnificent and sacred mechanical hall.
The senior members of the Mechanicus are holding an important meeting to discuss the final disposition of the Mechanic Forum.
On a mechanical base more than ten meters high, there is a huge mechanical creation.
The gears buzzed.
That is the Martian forged general Udia, because his body has a large number of reinforced implants.
As a result, it is more like a mechanical building than a person, requiring the use of eight super-heavy cranes.
To move it.
Therefore, when the Martian Forge General went to attend some meetings, it required a lot of logistics and construction work.
A few months ago.
Udia, who was attending a meeting in Holy Terra, received the message from the Mechanical Forum and immediately interrupted the meeting and left.
Return to Mars.
However, due to his huge size, almost a month had passed by the time he arrived on the surface of Mars.
Subsequently, Udia immediately blocked Mars and convened a meeting with relevant high-level members.
Wait for all senior members to arrive at the Temple of the God of All Machines to attend the meeting.
It took another month.
It can be said to be very imperial.
Of course, there is also a deliberate element in this. The Martian Forging General needs time to plan.
To deliver the fatal blow at the right time.
“The Mechanical Forum is a heresy, and it is an unforgivable heresy!”
The roaring electronic sound echoed in the hall.
Martian Forge General Uldia said in an irrefutable tone:
“That dirty, ugly platform is the enemy of the Mechanicus and a complete heresy.
We must Gather all your strength and destroy it completely, even if it triggers a large-scale war!"
