Chapter 82 Telex and the Webway
The Telex combat robot is a cyborg assault force transformed by a highly mysterious sect of the Mechanicus. The difference between them and other groups lies in their Their uses also lie in their unique degree of transformation.
Talex is not a machine in the true sense, but is modified from the human body and is a semi-machine.
The technology used by the Telex body armor that contained him was the same as the power armor technology used by the Legiones Astartes, but they had entered a completely different direction of development.
The huge body armor houses the main organs, nervous system and brain of the transformer's body, replacing all the bones and limbs with an armor-covered mechanical system driven by a built-in reaction core.
This transformation process is very painful, and it also requires the replacement of the sensory organs that humans are accustomed to. These two points determine that surgical removal of the pain center and emotions is necessary.
So, the transformed Telex is a cold and calculating killing machine, but it also maintains a certain degree of independent human consciousness.
Although some people within the Mechanicus believe that this kind of transformation itself is already on the red line of taboos, fortunately they are not many in number and do not really violate the Crimson Agreement, so they can be used as a Highly difficult techniques remain.
An equally difficult point is that the amount of resources required to produce it is extremely large.
The difficulty of making a Telex also depends on the strength of the individual's survival awareness, which affects how much usable will remains after the transformation.
Therefore, at most times, Telex transformations are reserved for qualified Forge Guards and Skitarii warriors who have been mortally wounded in battle.
Of course, there are also some transformation objects obtained from more mysterious channels by the unfathomable and vicious Source Return Order.
Telex is generally produced only by the Order, but they have also been "given" by the Order's Great Magos to some other factions, such as the Cybertronica Legion, in exchange for allegiance and assistance.
Therefore, the terrible Telex also appeared in the Legion's group.
In addition, Telex's most distinctive feature, the very evil-looking faceless helmet, is actually a mechanical detector array hidden under it.
Through it, Telex perceived the battlefield as a wild storm shaped by electromagnetic turbulence, the heat of blood, and ground shock waves.
But in order to process this storm of data, the organic brain must be surgically cut to remove the only human senses of sight and hearing.
"Number, YT-0001, received the highest authority order."
The Telex's helmet made a dull mechanical echo, and then the Astartes watched vigilantly. Go to Soshyan and kneel down on one knee.
After kneeling down, the Mechanicus symbol on Telex's chest was separated from the middle, and a mechanical appendage held a miniature gene extractor in front of Soshyan.
"Start command authority authentication and genetic identification."
Soshiyang took off the gauntlet of his left hand without thinking, and then pressed his index finger on the collector.
As a subtle tingling sensation came, the tiny needle penetrated Soshyan's skin and took a small amount of blood.
“Gene identification in progress——”
When Soshiyang retracted his fingers and put the gauntlet back on, the other party had also stood up.
"Identification successful, command authority has been authenticated, iris information and facial recognition information collected."
Soshiyang just looked at the other party's strange mirror-like helmet for less than three seconds, and the other party nodded.
"Collection completed and uploaded to the chain of command."
"Can you understand what I am saying."
"High Gothic, identifiable."< br>
Soshyan glanced at Sol, who nodded slightly in response.
"My name is Soshyan, and I am the Chapter Master of the Astral Knights Chapter."
"Hello, Commander."
"Your identities are What, why did it appear here, what is the purpose, and who arranged it?”
“We are the Slosha Group, code-named YT, and we are deployed here under the order of the highest command authority to defend this area. When an anomalous energy field appears, the area is cleared. Since the deployer also executed the erasure protocol, we cannot store any information about it."
"Abnormal energy field?"
Saul on the side suddenly said:
"In which direction?" But YT-0001 didn't seem to hear it, and just stood there quietly.
Thor was stunned for a second, and then realized that he had made a somewhat stupid mistake - even cyborgs still execute the most basic mechanical logic, they only Information will be reported to authorized persons.
"Which direction is the abnormal energy field?"
Soshiyang immediately spoke to relieve Sol's embarrassment.
“Area 1-0-32, this area may be more dangerous, it is recommended that the group approach in combat formation.”
“Okay, take us there.”
< br>"Execute."
After saying that, the green light on the sensors on the heads of all combat robots, including YT-0001, was immediately replaced by dangerous red light.
Then they gathered together neatly at exactly the same pace, forming an assault diamond, protecting the Space Marines behind them.
While following the battle robots, Soshyan noticed that the Eldar seemed to have disappeared for a while.
Finally, in the square, Soshyan saw a blood trail leading straight into the distance. Walking along the blood trail, they found an arch, and the blood trail disappeared in front of the door.
This is an octagonal door with a span of about two hundred meters, surrounded and reinforced by a bone-like substance, and surrounded by runes from ancient aliens.
It seemed that even a Titan could pass through that door.
Perhaps, if there is a chance...
Thor stared at it intently.
"It turned out to be this, I should have thought of it..."
He said in an awed tone.
"A Webway portal."
Soshyan was a little surprised when he heard it, but not as shocked as others, because he had already roughly known the existence of the Webway and its existence through Brother Said's introduction. function and significance.
Then everything makes sense. Long before humans discovered this planet, the Eldar occupied this planet and established the Webway Gate to develop it or do some other conspiracy. .
But they apparently encountered an accident, and the plan was temporarily shelved. In the end, the planet was owned by humans.
Obviously, the Eldar will not forgive this kind of thing.
"They escaped from here."
Since the blood marks have disappeared here, it means that the Eldar entered it not long ago.
“Since this place has been abandoned for so long, it means that they must have fought against the Cybernetic Legion, but were defeated. After a long time, they plan to return here.”
< br>Saul stared at the door and expressed his inference.
"Those scouts are obviously here to investigate whether the Cybertronic Legion that defeated them before still exists. Now that they have got the information they want, they should not invade in the short term."< br>
"Do we need to destroy this gate?"
Soshyan patted the grenade on his waist, but Thor shook his head.
“No, we still lack understanding of this thing. If we do it rashly, it is likely to have catastrophic consequences... Have you ever thought that if this thing can destroy, the people who deploy these fighting groups will let go? Until now?”
“Then leave it here?”
“We have too little information about the situation of the Eldar, and we don’t know how much strength they have now, but I Think... if they are very weak now, then even if they come to this world, they are not afraid. The Astra Militarum in the nearby star area can completely suppress it, or they have become stronger than before, or have other allies, then just rely on We can’t fight it either.”
Although he felt that Sol's theory was a bit strange, Soshyan nodded out of trust.
"That's it."
