Chapter 1189 The Lost Ark
Although Soshiyan has long had the idea of expanding the production capacity of plasma equipment and improving the manufacturing process, the forging world around Nessun IV is not particularly good at plasma technology, and it is difficult to Shi Yang also hopes to diversify his investments and does not want to put all his eggs in one basket. Even if they have a close relationship with Zhao Akada, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen in the future——
The first time he met Reza's exploration fleet, he had the idea of cooperation.
This is not just for the Chapter, Reza also supplies many Chapters and Astra Militarum armaments. This kind of weapon can provide considerable tactical advantages to the Imperial Armed Forces, and Reza is also technically advanced. It is relatively open-minded and may be able to improve on the existing basis.
Many of the empire’s excellent weapons were eventually lost because of the preciousness of the broom. Soshyan did not intend to continue to monopolize this kind of weapon and let these things rot in his own hands. After all
No one can tell what will happen in the future.
"Indeed, I have observed that the workmanship of this weapon is very poor, especially the key plasma energy storage device and heat dissipation device. The processing accuracy of the parts is far from the standard it should be. If To put it more seriously, this is a crime, a crime against the blessing of the God of All Machines."
Digit Katona's words made Dietrian very unhappy, because he was responsible for the manufacture of these weapons. , so a piece of binary language that Soshyan couldn't understand floated out of his audio equipment.
But Deeji Katona obviously had no intention of arguing with him and kept looking at Soshiyang.
"Chapter Commander, what is your request?"
"Technology can be shared, no problem, but I hope you can help us build a large-scale production line that meets Reza standards on our home planet."
Dije Katona almost didn't think about it.
"Okay."
"There is also the strike cruiser we just captured. It is in very bad condition. I wonder if you have any way to repair it now?"
"We have a temporary dock and a large number of repair ships, which can guarantee that it will be repaired within 36 standard Terra hours, at least to ensure that its speed is restored to the original level."
"There is nothing else. I also hope to cooperate with an enlightened forging world like Reza for a long time."
Dij Katona looked at Soshiyang and seemed a little surprised.
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
Digi Katona moved in his chair, then he raised it slightly Lifting his chin, the chattering sages around him suddenly stopped, and then put the weapon on the table.
Then Reza's delegation had a silent exchange for about three minutes. Soshyan knew that they were talking on an encrypted channel, so he was not impatient and waited patiently on his chair.
Soon, they came to the conclusion, but this time it was not Dije Katona who spoke, but the sage Cassim Jo Marte Gonsalves.
It also confirmed Soshyan's guess that that man was indeed the number two person in the fleet.
"In the name of Omnisiah, Chapter Master Soshyan, in order to thank you for your generosity, we have decided to give you a reward."
"Oh? I am all ears."
"This matter is related to the second and most important mission of our trip. The space hulk Oleros has appeared."
Soshiyan blinked.
“A hulk.”
“This is no ordinary hulk, it probably contains the Ark Mechanic Blood Red.”
“Ark Mechanic!?”
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, and finally realized why the other party was so cautious.
The Mechanic Ark is a huge and almost mythical starship in the Mechanicus fleet. These warships are also considered to be part of the Mechanicus' knowledge exploration plan and will endlessly explore the star sea.
The ship, often led by a respected Exploration Magus, travels to the stars in search of their ultimate Holy Grail: a still-working STC or other form of relic technology.
For the most part, the Ark Mechanicus is loaded with the best technology the Adeptus Mechanicum has to offer, equipped with weapons more powerful, with greater range, and significantly better defenses than most of the Imperium's warships. But Mechanical Ark is so precious and extremely rare that the discovery of an intact Mechanical Ark is considered as miraculous as the discovery of a complete STC.
Currently, only a handful of Mechanical Arks are still active.
“How could a Mechanical Ark become a hulk?”
“The Sanguine is from Mars, born in the early days of the Great Crusade, and assigned to the Holy Blood after the Horus Heresy. The Angel was stationed in orbit around Baal before records of it disappeared. When it reappeared, it appeared to be part of the space hulk Oreros, which was discovered by the Rogue Trader Grom before the ship disappeared again. , until now——"
"Then how did you know?"
"During the 892.M41 period, the Cadian 22nd Regiment was dispatched with a small exploration team of ours. The fleet went to explore an undeveloped area on the edge of the Storm Star Territory. Later, the group and the exploration fleet disappeared at the same time. After analyzing the last images, it was concluded that they encountered a storm in the subspace and were destroyed by a huge hulk. Absorb, the ship is most likely Aureros, and we received a distress signal from the exploration fleet two years ago, which is enough to confirm that it once again left the subspace and entered the physical universe."
"Wait, the Cadian 22nd Regiment. I just fought with them."
"The Cadian people concealed the news and rebuilt the 22nd Regiment afterwards."
< br>"So now you plan to go to the location of the hulk and find the lost Mechanical Ark?"
Qasim Jo Marte Gonsalves burst out a burst of code, and then fell into There was silence, and the appendages twitched.
“This is for the glory of the God of All Machines.”
Again, Soshyan smiled briefly.
"Then I guess it's still in the Tempest Domain now, right?"
"Yes."
"Are you the only one who knows this news?"
>
Qasim Jo Marte Gonsalves paused for a moment and shook his head. This was the most humane action he had ever made.
"Not sure."
"The remains of a mechanical ark, this is a fragrant piece of fresh meat that will attract countless predators and scavengers."
Soshi Yang wrinkled He raised his eyebrows, seeming to be deeply absorbed in speculation, his face expressionless.
At this time, Thor suddenly bent down and whispered something in his ear, but the Mechanicus cultists heard nothing.
Apparently there is some kind of hearing-blocking device on Soshyan's chair.
Upon hearing Sol's words, Soshyan's eyes flickered for a moment, then he leaned forward, crossed his hands and moved them under his chin.
"Sage Qasim Jo Marte Gonsalves, what is it about the Blood Red that attracts you so much?"
"Ark Mechanical is the incarnation of the Mechanical God—— "
"No, I said inside, what it carries."
Qasim Jo Marte Gonsalves did not say anything, and Soshyan just waited. It took a while before Deejay Katona took over.
"Captain Soshiyang, this involves a special confidentiality agreement, forgive us-"
"Is it related to the Blood Angels?"
As soon as Soshiyang said this, Di Jay Katona didn't say anything now, but in the eyes of those who were interested, it was already a default signal.
