Chapter 158 Betrayal in the past and future
......
"Everything is normal in the hive world."
"Visitors from Nu Xing have begun to establish a new order."< br>
Qin Xia slowly walked into the command deck.
The naval officers saluted him, Qin Xia nodded in return, and then came to Angron at the tactical table.
"They are all suitable people." Angron looked at his adoptive father with a smile, and then moved his eyes to the projection of the hive world on the tactical table, "They will completely change that world, not just It’s just to add more people who need their support to the ordinary people there.”
Qin Xia nodded, supporting the edge of the tactical table with both hands, and leaned over to look at the projection of the nest world.
There is only one hive city in this world, standing alone on a wasteland.
Compared to the outside of the hive city, in terms of living environment alone, the inside of the hive city is pretty good.
There are mutated monsters, super worms, living venom pools, and poisonous gases that can corrode organic matter everywhere outside.
So, as far as Qin Xia knows, there are some nomads and the like outside the hive capital buildings in general hive capital worlds, but there are no nomads in this hive capital world, and no one can live in the hive capital. Survive the brutal natural environment outside the building.
“I transferred two redundant Storm Eagles to the Association for Human Creation and History Research.” Angron suddenly spoke, mentioning the association.
"Gunboats? That's fine." Qin Xia thought about it and smiled helplessly, "Maybe they don't need it under normal circumstances, but in this hive world they need gunboats."
"I I think so too." Angron nodded.
Qin Xia was thinking about the association.
Some people from the association will stay in the hive world and continue to excavate ancient relics in the hive world.
Angron stared at the hive world projection.
The original body seemed to be able to see the changes in the hive world.
Nu Xing bureaucrats will first put the hive city into a short period of high-pressure control to ensure that the hive city passes the stage where chaos is most likely to break out, and then distribute the supplies sent by Nu Xing.
If all goes well, they will establish a food production line that converts carbon dioxide into starch, first to fill people's stomachs, and then to meet people's higher dietary requirements by trading more food from Nuxing.
Then an education system will be established, children will receive education, and those who are quite prestigious and have a favorable impression from civilians will receive systematic management training. After graduation, they will replace the soldiers in managing the nest.
Eventually, after this digestion-like process is completed, the World Eaters Legion and the World Eater Lord will have a brand new world that can perform amazing functions.
“The way the empire is managed is simply unreasonable.”
“Just send a group of people to a planet to be the boss and pay tithes.”
"Rough management methods will waste a huge amount of labor and resources."
Brown said as he walked to the tactical table.
Qin Xia looked at Brown with some surprise: "Are you also on the command deck? You are so talkative and talkative that I didn't even know you were there."
"I started from the beginning. In the end, I was working on the command deck. "Brown pointed to a corner, "But I really don't have anything to talk to like before, because I miss home."
"Maybe we can be together after a while. Go back and take a look." Angron said.
Brown's eyes dimmed, as if he thought this was impossible, and seemed to miss Nuceria even more.
Then the stone man continued to elaborate on his point of view: "I just said that rough management methods will waste a huge amount of labor and resources, and also bury unstable factors. The empire seems to particularly want to create a world It turns into fuel for war machines, but I can't see it."
"To be fair," Angron said while holding his chin and frowning, "There may be hundreds or thousands of planets as we speak. Being brought under the rule of the person called the Emperor, it is unlikely that I would be able to establish effective rule."
"But having said that, since I am not the person called the Emperor, I will not do it for the time being. I don’t have to be responsible for the human planets in the entire galaxy. As long as they belong to my planet, I will change them completely.”
The stone man was waiting for Angron’s two words.
"So this is the problem. There are too many planets to recover, and the management ability and energy of natural people are limited after all." Brown spread his hands, "So why can't we let AI help?"
"AI."
Brown looked at Angron and then at Qin Xia.
Qin Xia and Angron looked at each other and said nothing for the time being, but both looked a little helpless.
“An AI can handle the affairs of hundreds of thousands of people in a city in an instant. Even more advanced AIs back then were able to handle affairs in advance through predictions. The more powerful ones were not only able to predict, but even When dealing with affairs in subspace, no matter how many planets are managed, no matter how many affairs there are, they can be handled in an instant.”
"And now, we leave the most painful and repetitive part of management to natural people. Natural people should not handle those trivial matters."
"How did the human race become like this?"
< br>Brown expressed dissatisfaction.
But whether it is Angron, Qin Xia, or Brown, all three of them understand why the empire does not use AI.
AI is called hateful intelligence in the human empire. This is not a good name. Anything related to AI will be resolutely attacked. Machines are not allowed to have their own intelligence, and some places that require AI will be replaced by wetware modified by the human brain.
The 30K modified wet parts are not as interesting in style as the 40K.
The reason why the Emperor banned AI is very simple. It was because of the Iron Man rebellion that nearly destroyed the entire human race. He was an eyewitness to that incident, and he knew the devastation it could cause when things like AI and Iron Man, which humans relied heavily on, rebelled.
Qin Xia didn't know the specific scene of the Iron Man rebellion and what the emperor saw, but he was sure that the emperor must have been deeply shocked and maybe even frightened at the time. "You know the reason, the Iron Man rebellion." Angron said.
"Brown, take you for example, you always say that you are a low-power stone man." Qin Xia looked around the entire command deck, "But you can modify the voice and change what others hear. What we have discovered is not psychic energy but science and technology, but its principle is difficult for us to even guess and imagine.”
There were many people on the command deck, and they also saw Angron, Qin Xia, and the man with a good brain talking about something together.
But the content is: what did you eat, what did you eat for lunch, and when did we leave the hive world.
“I can’t imagine what kind of terrifying abilities they would have if they were the more advanced stone men you call, stone men who really became warriors or scientists.” Qin Xia said.
“I know the reason, but I still don’t think AI should be banned.” Brown shook his head, “This is no different from removing the stomach, esophagus and intestines when someone is choking.”
Angron looked at Qin Xia again.
"The Iron Man rebellion really happened. I have heard about it and seen the news."
"But the stone men all stand on the side of the natural man and defend their creator. There are also a large number of iron men who also side with the natural man. Here, they helped the natural people eliminate the Iron Man rebellion, just like they used to help the natural people do anything in any way."
"The emperor does not trust AI, but he can trust the demigods he created. Even if there are people like Perturabo among these demigods," Brown said, shaking his head with helplessness and sorrow.
In the heart of this stone man came something that he could not say to Qin Xia and Angron: I cannot see the possibility of the human race returning to its former glory.
"That's enough, Brown." Angron stretched out his hand to hold Brown's shoulders and said seriously, "A Primarch like Perturabo is indeed extremely weird, but at least the Primarch has never rebelled. Regardless of the specific reason, the Iron Man rebellion is It has brought about terrible consequences. It is not clear who is on whose side."
Brown was speechless and couldn't think of how to respond to what Angron just said. Argument.
I opened my mouth to speak, but I didn’t know what to say.
He originally wanted to suggest that Angron let himself manage a world where he could deal with things in two days that a natural person would need to deal with in a year.
But he knew why Angron and Qin Xia wanted to keep him by their side.
"No matter what, we will do things that are beneficial to our entire human race." Angron added, "No matter what, Brown, no matter what, the Great Crusade will not be the final undertaking. We will continue to work after the Great Crusade. Do one thing."
Hearing this, Brown shook his head slightly and looked at Qin Xia again.
The stone man wondered why Qin Xia was so silent at this time and did not tell some truth like Angron did.
This man is always eloquent on such occasions.
Qin Xia really wanted to say something, but because she felt like she was in a different world, she was silent and thinking about another thing.
Angron said that the Primarchs never rebelled, but the Iron Man and the AI did.
This sentence is undoubtedly extremely accurate at this time, but if it is placed in the future...
If the Horus Heresy would still happen, if Angron acted as a reluctant The loyalists defended the Emperor, facing half the galaxy in chaos and war. I wonder if he would be embarrassed when he faced Brown again and recalled that the Primarch's rebellion rate was around 50%.
The Horus Heresy.
Qin Xia frowned and thought about the catastrophe that would happen in the future.
He had thought of taking advantage of the Emperor's arrival on Nustar to meet with Angron, to directly ask the Emperor for a private conversation and tell the story of the future Horus Heresy.
Who are the rebel primarchs besides Angron, and why would Horus rebel?
But Qin Xia did not do this in the end, because the emperor was obviously still a fan of the authorities at this point in time. He most likely knew that the original body would rebel, but he was not sure who would be involved.
Horus was the Emperor's favorite son, Warmaster of the Imperium of Man, and the most admired among the Primarchs.
Accusing such a Primarch of being a rebel leader may not necessarily elicit the Emperor's gratitude or nip a potential rebellion in the bud.
But that being said, the Emperor still had to know. Even if he didn't believe it, his Markmaster Malcador, as a Primarch Questioner, would have made preparations in advance, but not by talking directly to the Emperor in private, or by The method of running to Terra to complain was a more tactful and effective method that would not involve the Twelve Legions and Angron.
"Father, right?" Angron asked.
Qin Xia was in a daze for a moment. He didn't hear another conversation between Angron and Brown at all. He could only vaguely agree: "Ah, yes."
Angron nodded.
When the original body wanted to say something to Brown again, Qin Xia spoke first: "From now on, I will sort out some knowledge and things and tell you slowly. They may be very shocking and difficult to accept. But you have to know that I will never lie to you, and whatever I tell you in the future will be the truth.”
Angron nodded again without any hesitation.
He never questions or doubts his adoptive father, even if he cannot sense his adoptive father's emotions.
"You..." Qin Xia smiled helplessly, turned and walked towards the huge porthole on the right side of the command deck.
Looking at the stars outside, Qin Xia made a decision.
From now on, find a way to let the Emperor or Malcador know about the Horus Heresy through a series of means. Euphemistic means.
And also let Angron know what may happen in the future, instead of waiting until the rebel primarch has secretly launched a wave of rebellion in an attempt to win over Angron before Angron is aware of their emotions.
Then no matter what the Emperor or Malcador plans, from now on they must plan to deal with the future Horus Heresy, and at least the Twelve Legions must be prepared in advance.
