How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 189 Although something is wrong, it is right

"I don't think something is right." After thinking for a while, Lindrick silently sent this text message to the helmet of Daibit's void suit.The chief think tank believes that the latter, as the first person to raise the issue of the name "Jerrick", should be the best person to talk about this topic under the current situation. "It all went too smoothly."

Only 20 seconds after this sentence was sent, Debit successfully responded to Lindrick in the same way: "Smoothness is a good thing. But we should not let down our guard."

"Are there any possible parallels in ancient legends?"

"Maybe, maybe not. But the only thing that's certain is that we shouldn't be talking about this in detail above Jerick."

If another chapter brother were to have this conversation, he would probably be angry at such a vague reply.But Lindrick is different. He is a think tank. He is well aware of the magic of language and the subtleties of the thread of fate.This excessive caution was by no means unnecessary when they both believed that there was something wrong with what was happening.

"The subspace near this planet is too peaceful." Lindrick sent a text message to Debit again. "Logically speaking, Jerick is so close to the Eye of Terror, almost on the edge of the great rift. The ether here is The environment shouldn’t be this smooth.”

This time, he waited for about 30 seconds before receiving a reply from Debit: "I have not found any man-made factors in the nearby cosmic environment that may cause this situation. But if you want to explain it as a 'natural phenomenon' , which itself is very abnormal.”

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this exchange should have a conclusion or two, but for Lindrick and Debit, after confirming to each other that "this situation is not normal, but neither of them can find the reason", they The conversation is over.

Enter Jerrick, the curtain of reality seems stable.Both Lindrick and Debit knew that things that "seem" often have some undercurrents "below the surface."Although it is not worth advocating from a strategic point of view, they can only be alert to possible conspiracies through the stupid method of "always paying attention to any abnormalities that may occur around them."

But this conspiracy may not exist at all, at least none of them have found evidence to prove this, so no one can stop Ferrus's plan just based on this "suspiciousness".

The entire team entered the treasure house with the original body leading the way. Except for the dust accumulated for thousands of years, there seemed to be no part that had been obviously invaded by time in the dim corridor.I don’t know what functions Ferus had preset for it when he built this treasure house, but one thing that is obvious is that the corridor that the Iron Hands walked into was very spacious, even allowing them to launch their tactical team without any hindrance. shape, or easily project armor power into the treasure house.There are various unactivated "defense measures" hanging on the almost undecorated walls. Some of the mechanical structures connected to the muzzles of the guns vertical to the ground are modified based on ancient imperial standard equipment, while others are obviously... A great invention from the Primarch himself.And no matter when facing the former or the latter, there will be no fools who would try to challenge its power among the people present.

But there is a design intention that can be easily seen by any Iron Hand present: the excessive firepower settings in the corridor do not seem to be to prevent intruders from outside, but to prevent intruders from entering. Prevent anything inside from getting out.This made many of them realize for the first time that what Ferrus Manus sealed in the Mimir Vault was not only knowledge and technology, but also some threats that might even make the original body feel troublesome.

After realizing this one after another, the mixed guards gathered around the original body felt a little threatened, but Ferrus Manus still walked at the front of the team with his head held high.The shadow cast by Gorgon in the dim lighting in the corridor is like a huge and terrifying monster. Under the threat of this monster, whether it is the defense system of the treasure house itself or the abominable creation dormant behind the locked door inside , all stayed in place quietly and submissively.This made the guards' tension seem a bit out of place.

Perhaps when building this treasure house, Ferus himself never thought of letting anyone other than himself enter here alone.The surrounding walls have the same style as the Iron Hand itself, with a consistent lack of decoration and cover, and the various mechanical structures and pipelines are almost directly exposed.The lights here are dim and there are no clear signs. As long as you turn two or three corners and walk through two or three forked roads, the surrounding scenes are too similar, making it difficult to figure out your location and the route back.

This may also be a manifestation of Gorgon's exquisite design, but this exquisite design obviously cannot cause trouble to its designer.The original body never forgets that even though 1 years have passed, Ferus still knows very well which warehouse and which stasis field the thing he is looking for has been placed in which warehouse and which stasis field he is looking for, and how to get there. route to reach his destination.

Under the leadership of the original body himself, it only took the entire team about 15 minutes to reach the room they needed to find in this intricate, maze-like treasure house.After another round of identity authentication, the adamantine door shook off the dust and opened in front of Ferus, revealing the space guarded by it behind him, in which ten stasis force fields maintained in the activated state flickered quietly. Light.The original Iron Hands paused for a moment, then walked into the room with certainty, and took out the contents from one of the stasis fields: a thing that looked very much like a "toy generator" ...toy generator.

The style of this thing didn't match the rough environment around it at all, so when it fell into everyone's sight, everyone felt psychedelic because of its bright colors and shiny paint.If it hadn't appeared in Mimir's treasure house, I'm afraid anyone would have made the following judgment the first time they saw it: This may be an enlightenment toy for aristocratic children, a classic but backward hand-cranked toy. The shape of a generator is slightly larger for preschoolers, but the original body can still be easily held with one hand. A reasonable guess for its power generation efficiency is that "it can light up one or two light bulbs after shaking the rocker." It is basically no problem. Has no practical effect.

However, this thing appeared in Mimir's treasure house. The whole thing seemed a bit ridiculous at first glance, but there must be something unusual behind this "toy".

"Lindric." The Primarch summoned the team's chief librarian and asked, "I need a psyker's perspective. What do you think of it?"

Lindrick stepped forward, braced himself 12 times, and used various means to conduct a thorough inspection of the...thing in the original body's hand, and then replied in confusion: "...I don't know. , Sir, the only thing I can confirm is that it does not have any connection with the subspace."

After a pause, the chief think tank asked hesitantly: "But perhaps, this may also be because it is not operating in the activated state. If I can make it run, I may be able to see something more."

"It's not wise to do this here." Ferus replied, "Although this thing looks like a hand-cranked generator, in essence, I don't know what it is. This may be something from the dark technology age. It's a bad joke, or some kind of crude imitation of a high-tech alien race. The only thing that's certain is that when it's turned on, the amount of electricity it generates can easily meet the energy needs of a hive world."

Lindrick stared in disbelief at the device that was just like a toy except that it was slightly larger. He guessed that everyone around him had the same feeling as him.Ferus didn't say anything more. He just used the mechanical arm in his backpack to store the equipment in his hand. He turned around and prepared to return to the court with more sophisticated instruments and richer equipment on the Iron Fist. Means to study it——

"There is an emergency." Debit's voice, which was rattled by his helmet, suddenly sounded from the edge of the team. "The corrupted and fallen ship of the Emperor's Children appeared strangely in orbit."

This is of course bad news, but for most people present, it feels like the dust has settled.When it comes to the complete resurrection of a loyal Primarch, it would be unsettling to have everything go smoothly.And when the Emperor's Son, the old enemy of the Iron Hands, appeared on the edge of this matter, it actually made people feel weirdly reasonable.

"We will deal with this problem." A voice in the mixed guard said. "Scattered Chaos warbands will not pose a threat to our fleet, as long as our brothers in orbit can block-"

"That's not the problem. They appeared very strangely." Debit repeated emphatically. "To be specific, their ships almost 'appeared out of thin air' among the Iron Hands' fleet in orbit."

This incident sounded so much like the drunken joking of an ignorant person that almost no one in the audience immediately believed this rhetoric, except for Lindrick:
——The chief think tank of the Iron Hands suddenly had a strong and bad premonition from the bottom of his heart.
