Chapter 2786 Foreign Affairs Sect
Since the owner has said so, the sages have nothing to say and can only make their own bids.
After that, Soshyan took back all the data boards and asked the sages to go back and wait for 18 hours. After 18 hours, he would send a letter to the desired buyer to determine the final purchase plan.
But just 3 hours later, a sage from Huangquan No. 8 secretly arrived at the monastery of the Astral Knights Chapter.
“Hello, Chapter Commander Soshyan, I hope I won’t disturb you at this time.”
"Of course I won't disturb you, Sage Epsilon. I'm very pleased that you are willing to be invited."
In the spacious secondary reception hall in the main spire of the monastery fortress, a person Wearing a black inner and red outer robe, the towering Mechanicus sage is standing in front of Soshiyang. The meaning of this unique robe can only be understood by the sage of Huangquan No. 8 - this symbolizes the sage. The person is a member of the Secret Council of Foreign Affairs.
As an internal faction of the Mechanicum that studies and even applies alien technology, the priests and sages of the Alien Sect are mostly lone wolves and rarely form an organization, but in Underworld No. 8 , alien research is almost a semi-open secret. There seems to be traces of Priest No. 8 in Huangquan conducting secret alien research throughout the galaxy. Therefore, an organized alien sect has naturally formed within the Forge World. As for whether this is considered technology Heresy, at least currently, the Inquisition and Mars are still in the "investigation" stage, and this investigation has lasted for nearly five thousand years.
And all this is thanks to Terra. Since the munitions products of Hell 8 are vital to the Astra Militarum, the High Lords Council made a ruling when Hell 8's reputation as a heretic could no longer be suppressed. The Forge World of Underworld No. 8 is too important to interfere with.
The high lords may have been motivated by realistic political and military considerations, but the Alien Tribunal did not think so. In the middle of M36, under the auspices of the three great inquisitors of the Alien Tribunal, dozens of soldiers died. The Deathwatch Kill Team launched an invasion of Death Watch under the pretext of "investigating the Eldar Seers missing nearby," and the Forge World of Death Watch Eight was forced to take aggressive measures against the Death Watch Kill Team.
At the same time, in order to erase what they had done, the alien faction in the Forge World of Underworld No. 8 adopted a series of secret attack methods, including destroying or modifying the files in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs concerning the Forge World of Underworld No. 8's research on alien technology, and even He hacked into the data system of the Inquisition and tampered with the archive information about the Forging World of Huangquan No. 8, and used various means to ensure that all the information about the Terran Tribunal and the Inquisition were obfuscated.
This also further angered the Alien Tribunal, and a tragic secret war broke out between the Death Watch and the radical Tech-Priests. The final outcome of this war is unknown. Everyone can see What happened was that the then founding director of Underworld No. 8 announced that he would live in seclusion and focus on "personal research". One of the three Grand Inquisitors ended up dead, one injured and one missing. The Death Watch also announced that it would never guarantee the safety of any priest of Underworld No. 8. "Safe", and after that, the Foreign Affairs Sect also became cautious and formed a secret council. Those sages who studied alien technology gathered together secretly and implemented safer and more secretive rules of action. They even formed a special committee to capture and An action team looking for alien creations to achieve their mysterious goals and prevent unorganized activities from causing huge trouble again.
After the auction, Soshiyang sent an invitation to Huang Quan No. 8, and the other party also knew very well and sent a sage from the Foreign Affairs Sect.
After all, if Soshyan wanted to talk to them about something alone, it would definitely be related to alien technology.
“Yellow Spring No. 8 has given us a lot of help in the process of rebuilding the Chapter. I have always believed that if the empire wants to find a forging world that can study those alien enemies most efficiently, then You must be No. 8 Huangquan. I invite you here because I hope to talk about some topics that other sages may not be able to understand.”
Hearing what Soshyan said, the sage nodded.
"Your attention makes us proud." "About the Necron, we actually got some more important information. This is a race from ancient times about 60 million years ago. They originated from Due to some unknowable change, they chose to sleep in a tomb made of black stone. This race was once very prosperous, so their number was also very large. Most of them were concentrated in the edge of the Extreme Star Territory and the Storm Star Territory. Now they seem to have begun to A large-scale awakening, which is why I always emphasize that they will be a huge threat."
The sages stood there, seeming to be deep in thought, or analyzing. , a moment later, he said with a slightly magnetic mechanical voice:
"It seems that you are really concerned about this alien race. Huangquan No. 8 also sent many investigation teams to the eastern border of the Extreme Star Territory. Those space dead We are conducting research on the areas where the Necron are most active, but the losses are huge. There is still no definite idea of the scale of the Necrons’ awakening. What do you think they are now?”
Soshyan raised his hand to summon a servo skull holding a flexible screen. Then a slightly flickering star map appeared on the screen, and Soshyan marked several positions on it with his hand.
“The clans of the Necron race, or countries generally call themselves dynasties. As far as I know, there are Necron dynasties entrenched in these areas, especially here, on the eastern edge of the Extreme Star Territory. , there is an extremely powerful Necron dynasty, called Sotech.”
“Ah, here, I know, I once went to the area on the edge of this place to conduct archeology, and it was indeed a very dangerous place. Where, I lost half of the Skitarii."
But then the sage changed his subject.
“But these areas are too far away from the Forge World, and it will be difficult for Huangquan No. 8 to stop the expansion of these aliens, but we will continue to pay attention to the alien activities in these areas.”
Soshyan nodded.
“I kept an extra gift for Huangquan No. 8.”
Soon, the star map on the screen disappeared, followed by some battleship wreckage and equipment, as well as some well-preserved Image of the Necrontyr device.
“The enemy’s individual Gauss weapons have absolute destructive power against power armor, but our explosive bombs may not be able to kill the enemy with one hit. Although this is somewhat incorrect, there is no doubt that we Their technology is far behind them. Huang Quan No. 8 has a profound scientific research foundation. I hope that you can allow humans to have weapons that are equal to the enemy, instead of always using the lives of soldiers to offset the enemy's technological advantages."
“Captain Soshiyan really has an extraordinary vision and development thinking. If half of the high lords were as enlightened as you, mankind would have conquered the galaxy with the most powerful weapons long ago, instead of Now I am shivering in the cold wind, guarding a dilapidated house with air leakage from all sides.”
