Chapter 1326 Titan Factory
Looking around in the carriage, Soshiyang’s line of sight is very wide. He can clearly see the layers of engine workshops, forging plants, docks, ore smelting plants and assembly workshops from the ground to the ground. Stretching to the top of the extinct volcano, with spiers and chimneys clinging to the mountain like moss, these factories are working day and night.
Millions of servitors to workers covered in oil in the sweltering, dark places of factories are all working towards one will and one goal.
Titan Foundry in Ulan Huda.
Those lucky enough to serve Titan's factories live in simple homes that stretch hundreds of miles eastward, and these artifacts have become integrated into the canyon's rugged landscape. Thick layers of smoke hung over the chaotic workers' quarter, with mountains of waste piled around a jumble of buildings and foundries.
Outside the Titan Foundry, thousands of years of development have left scars on the land. Soshiyan can even see the heat haze released by the reactors in the southeast.
To the north of the Titan Foundry is a huge fortress-like building, which is the headquarters of the Phantom Legion. Their home is built at the foot of a gloomy, gray mountain, just like the appearance of those Titan machines. .
Soon, the train arrived at the station. When Soshyan and others got off the train, other entourages also got off from other carriages and quickly gathered around the five people. The people in charge of the Titan Foundry were already waiting. this.
“Welcome, Great Sage Bangura and Chapter Master Soshiyan to the foundry.”
The person in charge of the Titan Foundry is Sage Theodore Rossi, who is also Wanji He was an eyewitness of the coup in the temple and therefore behaved extremely deferentially towards Bangura.
His fat body is surrounded by icy air created by layers of fabric, a cooling network that removes the heat generated by most of his body's gears.
Compared to Bangura, the degree of transformation of this sage is very much in line with the characteristics of a typical Mechanicus believer. The head is a rectangular gold helmet with many lenses installed on it, and a bunch of lenses are exposed under the robe. The cable is like a black tentacle, with a recessed metal plate on the outside, and glowing data lines flowing on it.
"You're welcome, I just came to take a look."
Soshiyang smiled and said hello to everyone in the Titan Foundry, and then began to tour the interior of the foundry.
The first is the huge foundry complex, which occupies the south side of the foundry and is as majestic as a real volcano.
The foundry complex is one of the core facilities of the Titan Foundry. Its role is to integrally cast large parts on Titan, such as shoulder armor, leg armor, etc. These parts have high requirements for strength, so they must be molded in one piece. There are strict requirements on the size of the casting furnace.
This loud casting furnace has a series of carefully designed water gates, overflow channels and pressure doors. Take the elevator to the height of the casting furnace. When the gate is opened, Soshyan can see the molten metal flowing along. A huge gap hundreds of meters wide on both sides flows downward to form a huge artificial lagoon, filled with scorching, bubbling hot metal.
The huge machine trembled and roared. The crane lifted the casting bucket filled with molten iron and poured it downward into the mold.
Normal people would sweat like rain after just being in such a hot environment for a few seconds, but the servitors were unconsciously repeating fixed tasks, as if the high temperatures did not exist, and the water leaking from the pipes The dirty water dripping on the red-hot machinery gave off bursts of steam, mixed with the smoke in the hall, and the smell of rust was everywhere.
During this period, the servitors would constantly lose control or stop working due to overheating. Only then would the technicians in charge appear and take them away for destruction or repair.
When he raised his head, Soshyan noticed that each of the chains hanging from above was thicker than his entire body. The magnificent crane at the end of the chains could allow several Leman Russes to run parallel to each other even in the narrowest place. pass.
Being in it, Soshyan can feel the shock and oppression brought by the huge machinery and steel creations. It is no wonder that humans worship a God of Machinery.
Because these are living miracles, beyond the limits of what a poorly informed mind can imagine.
Even if he is standing here, he will be in awe of his own insignificance. After looking at the forge, Soshyan went to the next place, which was also one of the cores of the Titan Foundry.
Assembly workshop.
As soon as you enter the workshop with a height of more than 100 meters, the sounds of laser cutting machines and ion incinerators are heard. The stamping machines are stumbling and repeating the same work, and the cranes are constantly moving steel materials of different specifications. Moving around, the roaring machines kept blowing dust into the air, and many parts were formed and assembled here.
Generally speaking, even the smallest Titan has millions of parts, and many of the parts are consumables. The previous two operations have already caused huge amounts of losses. At this time, Very busy.
When Soshyan heard the person in charge introduce that tens of thousands of parts must be replaced during one Titan operation, and if the battle is fierce, even one-third of the parts may have to be replaced, he couldn't help but sigh at the delicacy of these divine machines. , and only the Forging World can afford it.
After that, the team came to a spotless hall. Soshyan and others went through several rounds of washing and disinfection when entering to ensure that their armor did not bring in any dust.
Once inside, Soshyan saw many people wearing respirators walking back and forth.
There are no servitors or workers here, they are all mid-level technicians or above.
There are some unformed high platforms on both sides of the hall. One of the high platforms has been basically formed. There is a man who is firmly tied to the machine. He is about 30 years old. He has fine facial features and a clean shaven scalp. He is penetrated all over. He has tubes, but he is healthy and peaceful.
With his eyes closed, he seemed to be just asleep, but judging from the cannula implanted in his arm, Soshyan suspected that he did not fall asleep naturally.
At the same time, there is a brass sound selector hanging under his mouth, and bundles of wires are connected from the device to various recording equipment.
"These are"
"The core of Titan, the Mechanical Throne, is related to the sensitivity of technicians when controlling the divine machine. Therefore, it must be strictly tested before leaving the factory, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Manufacturing the Mechanical Throne is too Precise, many steps require manual installation and repeated inspection, and the output is very limited. "
"That's it."
Wearing a helmet, Soshyan nodded and asked.
“How are ordinary Titan pilots produced?”
Bangura immediately replied:
"The recruitment and training of Titan technicians is the responsibility of the Titan Order."
He paused as he spoke, realizing that the Space Marines might have a negative impact on the Titan Order. I don’t quite understand the structure, so I introduced it in further detail:
“The Titan Order in Ulan Huda consists of three parts, namely the Titan Academy, the War Situation Room and the Sacred Armory, of which the Titan Academy is used To recruit potential Titan pilots and professional crew members to assist Titan technicians, they will study there for 20-30 years after being recruited, and only after passing strict examinations can they be qualified to become reserve pilots, and the situation room is The department that provides corresponding tactical analysis and intelligence instructions for legion operations. The Armory is responsible for the maintenance, transportation and deployment of Titans. There are many branches and small agencies under the three large organizations. They are generally independent of each other and do not govern each other. Accept the final instructions from the Foundry Director”
