Chapter 1290 A Strange Flower
Talos had mentioned this forge world to Soshiyan a long time ago. As the main inheritor of the Eighth Legion’s legacy, the Broken Eagle warband also inherited it from the original body. Got Ulan Huda’s secret contact information.
Although for a long time after the Great Rebellion, Ulan Huda lived well with its own unique technology, but with a series of events such as the Tyranid Invasion and the Black Crusade, as well as the death watch under the Ghoul With the long-term activities in the Star Territory, their lives have become increasingly difficult.
As for their relationship with Chaos, Talos also specifically explained that precisely because they often move in the subspace, the sages of Ulan Huda are actually far more vigilant towards Chaos than any dark machinery. The education must be high.
Even now they do not consider themselves to be part of the Dark Mechanicus.
"There are as many beliefs in the Mechanicum as there are stars in the sky."
Maintaining maximum patience, Soshiyan listened to the eloquent talk of the sage Lach Bangura.
"Some people believe that the Emperor is the physical manifestation of the Mechanicus, the Omnesia. Their critics claim that the Emperor pretends to be their god in order to defraud their support. It is believed that the Mechanicus also buried Under the sand of Mars, there are even some people who believe that by strengthening and transforming their bodies with technological products, they will one day be able to get rid of all flesh and blood and become like the mechanical god."
Soshiyang crossed his arms and said, Looking at each other half-smilingly.
"What do you think of the relationship between the Emperor and the Adeptus Mechanicus?"
Rakhi Bangura stared at Soshiyan through the black folds of his eyes, as if debating in his mind whether to answer the question.
After a long time, the other party replied with sincerity:
“Just talking about me personally, I believe that the Emperor is a great man, a superman with great ambitions, and a completely rational nature. Many people think that his knowledge may exceed the total of the Mechanicum, but even with all these characteristics, I still believe that he is still a human being! His superb understanding of technology and his negative attitude towards superstition make the Emperor The Emperor should be a shining beacon guiding the Empire and the Mechanicum Alliance into the future, but many people within the Mechanicus turned a blind eye to this, stubbornly ignoring the proof before them, and instead continued to believe in their blind faith even more. The dogma of decadent superstition is held tightly to the chest. "In that case, what do you think of the God of All Machines? If you don't mind me asking."
Lucky Bangura did not answer immediately, but stood up straight, turned around and walked to one side of the conference room wall, used the probe extended from his fingertips to remove a ventilator switch on it, and then returned to the conference At the table.
"Chapter Master Soshyan, do you know what this is?"
"Of course, it is a switch."
"Then how would you describe him?"
< br>Soshiyan looked at this technical "heresy" and felt for the first time that this was a very interesting person, so he chose to answer.
“I am not a professional, I can only say that this is a simple switch. Two pieces of metal can connect the circuit when in contact and disconnect it when not in contact.”
"How do you think it works?"
"Well, the two pieces of contact close together when they make contact, with no space between them. This means that electricity can flow from one side to the other when they are separated by space. They are open circuits, so the current cannot pass through them. "Exactly, it's a simple logic based on basic engineering and physics."
Rach Bangu. Pulling the switch in the air, he continued:
“Therefore, this switch is the simplest technical product we can think of, but those superstitious people who endlessly advocate the concept of the God of All Machines as the real god , but they want us to believe that some kind of divine mechanical will exists inside. They tell us that only by pleasing some invisible existence can the switch work, and that existence cannot be proven and can only be believed by faith. I don’t I deny the God of All Machines, but I believe it is a concept, a spiritual coordinate that inspires human beings to use reason and science to fight even in the darkness of despair, instead of turning our hearts to some illusory reality when we are in trouble. Psychotropic drugs.”
Soshyan felt that if these words were to be spread out, the seven forging worlds outside would definitely open fire on the Eternal Loyalty soon.
Heresy, pure heresy, this is a direct denial of the fundamental teachings of the Mechanicum.
But on the other hand, as a world that often travels through subspace, there is still primitive mechanical materialism within it, which is also a strange flower in the galaxy. To be honest, although Sosh Yang was not very familiar with the theories of the Mechanicus, but he had heard of this idea that was once popular on Mars, but it was a long, long time ago.
Or is it that some of them no longer believe in the so-called gods because they have witnessed too many horrors?
Although heresy is heretical enough, it is not bad for Soshyan. After all, he is not a believer in the God of Machines, nor does he care much about the religious arguments of the Mechanicus. The emperor's attitude is respectful, so both parties have the most basic point of consensus.
The duty of the Astartes is to protect the Emperor, the Empire, and humanity, but it does not include defending the teachings of the Mechanicum. After all, that is their own job.
"However, many of your actions have broken the red line drawn by the Emperor for you."
Soshyan put one hand on the table and tapped the smooth surface with his fingers. desktop.
"Technical heretics are also on our sanction list, you have to understand this."
"That is for survival. Chapter Commander Soshyan, I heard from some channels I told you something about your deeds. Frankly speaking, you must have used a lot of unconventional means to re-develop an almost extinct war group into what it is today, right? In this dark galaxy, just surviving is a matter of course. Extremely difficult thing.”
Sosh raised his eyebrows and glanced at Talos beside him, but the other person shrugged, saying that he didn't say anything.
“So allying with the Eighth Army and intervening in the imperial civil war is also for survival?”
“Of course, in fact, we have no right to choose at all. Lord Talos should know better than everyone else, Night The king is moody, and any world that disobeys him will be completely exterminated. We are not arrogant enough to think that we can fight against an entire Astartes army."
Soshyan looked at the other party and suddenly smiled. .
“You think yourselves are too innocent, Sage Bangura.”
"Chapter Master, I have no intention of portraying myself as an innocent person, because in the dark forest of the galaxy, innocence means being reduced to cattle and sheep. We just want to survive, that's all. Since the Great Rebellion, we have never joined. We have never formed an alliance with any alien race, nor have we fallen into the dark side of subspace. I think these three points alone are enough to express our attitude."
