Chapter 598 Silver Dream
Master Boban Hayden stood still in front of Rogris.
“But now I know that I was wrong. Perhaps this is also the reason why the Astartes need to communicate with the Mechanicum. We both have huge misunderstandings about each other. But you still proposed to us a A problem that has troubled the Mechanic
Education since its inception.”
“I hope this will not cause you any trouble.”
"Judging from the extent of your physical preservation, the place where you were born shouldn't be a world full of machines, right?"
"Yes, I was born in a relatively backward world, and the people in my hometown are still there. Using a very primitive steam industry."
"So you only know that the Emperor has come to Mars, but you don't understand its significance."
The priest said, taking out the silver coil from under his robe. , plugged into the wall outlet, while the orb on his head flashed, and a large amount of information flowed from the temple into his memory.
"The Emperor came to Mars when he began planning the Great Crusade. By then we and Terra were already sworn enemies, for the benighted tribes of the blue planet were entrenched on the ruins of ancient technology. , but knew nothing about it, let alone made progress. The Mechanicus managed to survive the chaos that spread in the long night, and our leaders understood that to restore humanity to its rightful place as the overlord of the galaxy, it would require the ancient Earth technology.”
"I know this. The historical files in the Chapter Archives mentioned this period."
"Believe me, your understanding must be very limited. You just imprint the dates and events into the cerebral cortex, but mine The mentor experienced those days personally. At that time, he stood on the highest peak of Olympus and watched the Emperor set foot on the soil of Mars - he was the first Terran to do so in five thousand years. You Can you imagine such a span of time? Can you begin to understand the secrets that may be lost and recovered at that time?"
"No"
Rogli said calmly:
< br>“Of course not”
The priest nodded.
“I inherited the memory storage unit of my mentor, so I still see those scenes from time to time. When the Emperor and the Director of Manufacturing greet each other, they have similar souls. He is a scientist, and he uses Practical experience solves problems and uncovers mechanical mysteries that have troubled Mars' top geniuses for centuries. As masters of technology, we bow before the discoveries made by this Terran man, who also exercises benevolent rule and allows us to enter Terra. Since then, Terra and Mars have joined forces with Ra's lost treasure trove and ended the war between the two worlds. The Emperor's eagle emblem has now had two heads."
The priest pulled the plug from the wall. Slide across the floor to Rogris.
“The Emperor shared with us his vision, his desire to conquer the galaxy for the benefit of future generations, but for such a great dream to come true, he must obtain weapons, supplies, tanks, ammunition, and the Adeptus Mechanicus Everything that can be provided. At the same time, he promised to protect Mars and respect our sovereignty over the Forge World. He dedicated six outstanding Navigator families to serve us, making it possible to send expedition fleets again. An unprecedented, co-prosperous with Terra. The time came, when the Emperor began his great war of conquest, and it was not long before some Tech-Priests saw the Emperor's arrival as the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy of the coming of the Mecha."
Listen. After finishing, Roglis whispered:
"So that's it."
"In fact, not everyone believes this. Some people question such an idea, declaring
such an idea to be blasphemous, and arguing that the Mechanicus is still Sleeping deep in the underground of Mars."
"Where?" Rogers frowned. Mars has too many secrets. He still doesn't fully understand how many layers of underground there are. remains.
"The Labyrinth of Night... yes, the Labyrinth of Night. It is said to be a mysterious and ancient labyrinth deep underground on Mars. It is covered by layers of obstacles and electronic traps. Some people claim that the mechanical god lies there and is immersed in it. In the Silver Dream, dreams come to the surface to guide us through the Red Sands. In the period following the Great Crusade, this division within the Church became more pronounced than ever before, culminating in Horus's Heresy leading to further After the split, the Warmaster asked for help from senior members of the Church - promising to give them the lost STC system and permission to research dark technology, but it turned out that this was just a lie. Although the rebels occupied Mars, they did not survive in the Labyrinth of Night. Nothing was found, not even the God of Machinery."
When he heard this, information about the Mars rebellion immediately jumped into Rogris' mind.
Not long after Horus raised the banner of rebellion, the Forge-General of Mars, Calbor Har, also began to publicly respond to the rebellion and threatened the Empire's access to war-ready resources.
In response, Rogal Dorn, the primarch of the Imperial Fists, ordered First Captain Sigismund and Captain Camba Diaz to lead 4 companies of veterans to protect the Eye City and Gar The forges of Horse Realm, as these two places produced the majority of Astartes weapons and armor.
Cooperating with this Space Marine force are some Imperial military units, including 13 companies of Saturnian Phalanx Warriors and 4 regiments of Jupiter Grenadier, which are also captained by the Emperor's Fist company. command.
However, this operation encountered fierce resistance from the overwhelming strength of the rebels affiliated to the Mechanicum. The two companies led by Camba Diaz encountered an enemy force a hundred times their own, while Sigismund's same-sized army The troops faced off against two entire Titan legions.
Facing this crisis of destruction, the Imperial Fists evacuated Mars. Although they abandoned the forge, they also successfully rescued a large number of power armor and twice as many weapons. The 4 people who participated in this battle A company of veterans suffered heavy casualties, half of them lost in battle.
It was not until Horus defeated Terra that the rebels on Mars evacuated in panic.
As Roglis meditated, Master Boban Hayden placed his cold iron hand on Roglis's shoulder.
“So this is my answer. The Emperor is the enlightener of the Mechanicus. There is no doubt that he represents the will of the Mechanicus. If not the incarnation, he is also a prophet. The prosperity of Mars and the Mechanicus is closely related to him. Inseparable from the relationship, this is an undeniable reality that transcends theology and philosophy.”
"I..."
Roglis will not be able to completely digest this knowledge and ideas for a while, but he has already broken down some of the obstacles.
"...Understood."
The priest nodded.
“May the God of All Machines protect you.”
"May the God of All Machines protect you, Master Boban Hayden. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to visit you again."
After leaving the temple, Rogris felt inexplicably light.
The priest had suggested that he take a rest, but he did not want to delay his trip, because the journey to the Forge Temple of Mareotis was about to begin, and he did not want to delay other people's time because of himself. This is very shameful on Mars.
Please give me a monthly ticket o(╥﹏╥)o
