"Oh, what a magical little thing."
Sitting on a chair in the office, Kayan, without armor, crossed his legs and stared with interest at the continuously twisting mass of silver metal in the glass bottle in his hand. nematodes.
Then he closed his eyes, and the movements of the twisting worms in the glass bottle slowly slowed down.
But suddenly they were entangled together again and slammed into the mouth of the bottle. They actually knocked the mouth of the bottle open and stretched infinitely like rubber bands, escaping from the small space that bound them. , landed on the huge desk with a clatter, and then squirmed one by one in front of Soshyan, and curled up into a small silver metal ball again.
At this time, Kayon also opened his eyes again.
"This thing used to have some psychic content, but it's hard to say now that it's been through your hands. According to your description, I'm more inclined to think that they were originally unconscious subspace energy entities. The person who invented it is indeed a genius, because this thing has nothing to do with it. There is no doubt that it also has the functions of neural network, signal transmission, energy transmission, self-defense awareness, etc. I boldly imagine that a battleship only needs it and the devil engine you described combined with these nematodes to be able to operate without It is quite scary to operate it without any crew members. Even if it is a warship with demons bound, it is difficult for all systems to be as convenient as normal use. The attributes of demons themselves are chaos and destructiveness. Yes, if it is possessed by demons for a long time, the battleship's own system will also change and corrode, but this system can retain the performance of the original battleship to the maximum extent and avoid many troubles caused by demons. It is amazing."
< br>"Its creator calls himself the Lord of the Soul Forge."
"Well, I know this place."
Kayon picked up the water glass at hand and drank a sip of water before clearing it. Clear your throat.
“Before there was even no Black Legion, I often cooperated with the technical heretics of the Black Mechanicus, and sometimes served as their mercenary to solve some troubles for them. They were experts in the Demonic Engine. , are very attracted to the Soul Forge, and even call it a holy place. Some technological heretics even believe that the "Black Omnisiah" is sitting in the core of the Soul Forge, where there are endless rotating pipes and cables, and endless endless Equipment, as well as violent winds formed by magma and steam. Only the greatest and most knowledgeable sages have the opportunity to visit there and obtain a few words of the Black Omnisiah in their minds. Strictly speaking, I have always been skeptical of this rumor. Attitude, or I never think it may be a god, it is just a more powerful demon at best. But judging from your contact with it, it should be more powerful than a demon, but still not to the level of a god. , I speculate that it should be an existence related to the mechanical field. This kind of thing may not be strong on its own, but it can cause a lot of trouble, just like those technical heretics."
Soshyan shrugged.
"No matter what, I have offended it, and it is clearly supporting Huron. The key now is, do you think this thing is safe to use?"
Kayon nodded.
"Safe, no problem. This is a good thing. Even without the support of the Demon Engine, the subsystems of the battleship can be very highly integrated. This is a qualitative leap in improving the combat efficiency of the battleship. You also know that the empire's warships are often like a giant sampan made up of large wooden boards, and each wooden board must have its own oar. Since there is no developed intelligent command system to integrate the components of each part, The system, relying solely on the machine soul is like a giant beast with a body of a hundred meters and only relying on a brain the size of a walnut to control the body. It will inevitably appear a bit slow, and once one of the dispersed meditator arrays is destroyed, it will basically declare that Some subsystems are completely destroyed. This thing can make up for this shortcoming and prevent the entire area from being out of control if key nodes are breached or destroyed. In this way, piloting a giant ship will be as easy as rowing a canoe."
As he spoke, Kayon thought of something and clapped his hands gently.
"Yes, the Abyss-class ship that should be built is very much in need of this thing. Not to mention the Abyss-class ship, there are many subsystems. In the past, the Word Bearers were sunk when they set out. The important thing is that they They didn't really control their own warship at all. I even suspected that they sailed out without even knowing how many explosion-proof doors there were on their ship. It also indirectly proves that this powerful warship is not so easy to use, and this thing can just It greatly reduces the difficulty of using this kind of super battleship, and can also reduce the number of crew members and thereby reduce the size of the living area, freeing up more space for the battleship to configure more weapons or equipment." Soshiyang raised his right hand. , the ball of silver worms was floating on his fingertips. He stared at these magical creations and said softly:
“I have only recently begun to learn how to use them. Before, I had always sealed them in an obsidian stone. In the container, I got about a whole container of nematodes from the hulk. Dietrian studied them for a year and couldn't come to any conclusion, so I asked him to give up. Now I can establish contact with them and control them. They, but we don’t yet know how to multiply them. If we can’t find this key, we can’t talk about using them, because this number is not enough to control a twenty-kilometer giant ship.”
Kayon thought for a while and gave a suggestion.
“What is created by a subspace existence is most likely a power projected or separated by itself. In other words, its proliferation signal or source is likely to be spiritual energy, but after you—— ”
Before he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes.
A strange symbol appeared in front of Soshyan, and at the same time the nematodes on his fingertips began to expand, or if you look carefully, you will see that the nematodes began to divide.
When the symbol disappeared, the ball of nematodes had expanded to the size of a normal human head. Before, it was only the size of an adult male's palm.
Kayan then sighed meaningfully:
"Soshyan, you have become stronger."
"You should know what's going on, why bother sighing."
"I don't know as much as you think. I only know that someone arranged for you to meet the Void Dragon underground on Mars, but you had I don't know about the changes, but the feeling that was similar to psychic energy just now was really strange."
"Approximately? I always thought it was psychic energy."
Kayon shook his head.
“Nine images, but Suoshiyang, you have to understand one thing. Psionic energy is the power from the soul. Its essence is closely related to the subspace, and the subspace itself is an ocean of emotions. Any psychic energy must have Emotional color, the only difference is strength and weakness. This is why many untrained psykers will go berserk once they have severe emotional fluctuations. Even the most skilled wizards and warlocks will not be able to use their psionic powers when they are used. It will also penetrate emotions, but a skilled wizard knows how to hide and improve his state of mind. This has also become the key to controlling psychic energy, but even so, it is impossible to erase and hide the emotional color of psychic energy. A brilliant psychic The reader must be able to feel it. However, Soshyan, your power just now has no emotional color, so do you understand what I mean?”
