Chapter 736 STC


Chapter 736 STC

“Perhaps this can explain why these factories can still operate even if no one maintains them after ten thousand years.”

Soshiyan checked the ones on the ground Twisted creation and discovered some clues.

Those things that look like flesh and blood are actually not real flesh and blood, but some kind of artificial fiber.

In other words, these are actually mechanical structures.

Soshyan once heard that some self-sustaining factories of the Mechanicus can be completely maintained by servitors and robots, and only need a few administrators or no administrators at all to operate.

“But these things will also be lost.”

Veronica also raised another question.

After listening, Soshiyang nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes, so I guess there must be a factory that stores or manufactures these things."

They then followed the main road, and sure enough, after walking for about twenty minutes, they found the core of this area.

It is a triangular building that looks a bit like a pyramid at first glance, but its outer walls are all huge slots. Those slots are connected to python-like black pipes and extend to the surrounding areas. The doors of all factories and

pyramids are open. After entering, there is a polygonal hall with a height of one thousand meters and a radius of five hundred meters.

The surrounding black walls are covered with various fiber-like pipelines, and dim yellow light is projected from unfathomable places. The space on the floor is filled with almost incomprehensible ancient inscriptions. Orc symbol.

But Soshyan did not pay attention to these trivial matters, because his attention was attracted by the huge structure occupying the center of the room.

It was a great machine constructed of white metal, silver tubes and chrome cabins, a perfect standard building template!

This is an ancient scientific secret that has been lost by mankind for a long time. Since the Dark Ages, the Empire and even the Mechanicum can only rely on the ancient technology they unearthed from the ancient STC to manufacture objects.

The Adeptus Mechanicus gradually relearned the lost technology of manufacturing from the STC fragments unearthed from hundreds of lost worlds, because every STC fragment is a priceless treasure. Find an undamaged one STC is something that will benefit the entire human generation and the entire human empire immensely.

But on the other hand, it is unprecedented to find a lossless STC.

“I suddenly remembered that those machines are very much like imitations of Iron Man. The greenskins may have been studying how to make their Iron Man back then.”

Hearing Veronica's words, Soshyan was slightly startled, and then realized that what the other party said was true.

Iron Man, a mechanical creation with strength and perception but no soul, was regarded as a heretical creation by the human empire, because the war triggered by the Iron Man rebellion almost destroyed ancient human civilization.

If Veronica's conclusion is correct, then the Orc Empire has obviously mastered the basic means of making iron men. Just imagine, there were originally an extremely large number of green skins, coupled with A steady stream of soulless killers, what kind of terrifying army would that be? What achievement cannot be achieved?

Continuing along with this line of thinking, this kind of soulless intelligence is not only very useful on the regular battlefield, but is also a weapon against specific enemies, especially races that are good at psychic power, such as Chaos and Eldar.

If you think about it carefully, the ambition of the Ork tyrant back then seemed to have expanded to the point where he wanted to compete with the subspace.

"Hey, big guy, look over there."

Following the direction Veronica pointed, Soshyan expanded his field of vision and looked at the wall of the hall.

On the first floor, there stood a space surrounded by metal fences. It was an entire stasis field area, with hundreds of green-skinned machines being covered one by one. The huge mechanical claws are hung in mid-air, arranged in an axially symmetrical formation. At a glance, they look like countless hanged ghosts, making people's hair stand on end in the shadows.

Looking carefully, each of them is different, and they are obviously much newer than those encountered before.

It seems that they are sleeping, waiting for the instruction to wake up, waiting for that great machine to create their kind again.

"There should be some kind of program set up here to activate several machines every once in a while to maintain those factories."

Soshiyang gasped excitedly, looked at these things solemnly and curiously, and then Walk up to the giant STC.

"This is really an extremely huge treasure." Veronica turned her head and stared at Soshyan.

“Do you know what this is?”

"I know that this is an intact standard technological manufacturing template and is the most precious treasure of our mankind."

Veronica snorted disdainfully.

"You don't need to add the last sentence. I have no interest in your 'most precious treasure'. In our opinion, your so-called ancient technology is just an inferior imitation of some ancient ones."< br>
“Whatever you say.”

Seeing that Soshyan still looked intoxicated, Veronica frowned.

"Is this thing really that valuable to you?"

"I know an example. Many years ago, a group of Imperial Guard scouts found a relatively complete STC in the ruins of a pyramid. Shard Template, do you know what that is made of? The alloy steel blade made from that standard manufacturing template is sharper and lighter than any knife that could be made before! Thirty Space Marine Chapters are equipped with this new saber. , and those scouts became heroes. Each of them was given a planet of their own, and their descendants still enjoy the legacy of their ancestors. At that time, this discovery was also hailed as the greatest discovery of that century. The discovery of science and technology is the most perfect and greatest rediscovery of STC known in human memory."

"Ah? It's just making knives, daggers, bayonets, swords and so on. , can this be called the greatest discovery?”

“That is a lost technology. Don’t tell me that your Eldar tribe has preserved all the technology completely.”

"Hmph. That's more than you do!"

"I don't want to argue about this, but no matter the value of all the stc fragments discovered before, they are not worth mentioning in front of this thing."

Soshiyang opened his arms, as if to embrace the machine.

“It can ensure the absolute dominance of human beings, and it is a priceless treasure that allows human beings to struggle out of the quagmire of darkness!”

Veronica slowly turned around and observed the hanging behind the cage. In mid-air, there is a mechanical monster like a dead corpse.

"But I...I only felt horror. This is not a treasure, big man, this is a curse."

"You won't understand. I have spent my whole life serving the empire. Now that I have discovered it, then I will perform my duty in the name of our beloved emperor to get it."

"But if there is anything inside What about the Iron Man technology that you regard as a natural disaster?”

Veronica’s words made Soshyan freeze.

"I will not use it."

"But what if some power above you demands their use?"

Soshyan was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"Then I will ruin it."

Veronica smiled playfully.

"It's really strange. Isn't your job just to destroy? You yourself think that you are just a screw in a huge killing machine. Your job is to end life and you enjoy it. Now you have found the way to do it. Something that is a million times better than what you did, and then you actually have doubts? What is this, jealousy?"

"We have power, so we are wary of the powerful power in our hands. My morality There is no word fragile in it. I value life, which is why I have fought so far to defend it. I mourn for every dead mortal soldier and sacrificed warrior under my command. Regardless of their status, they were all once living lives. But machines will not, machines will not have such awe, they will only kill, they will test the will of the user too much, such power cannot be controlled by extraordinary saints, but there is no such existence in the empire now."
