Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 278 Ah, the Milky Way is connected to the Internet?
Huangquan No. 8 Forging World.

Machinery Factory No. A*VIII1248.

Several giant furnaces and foundries were smelting metal, filling the air with thick smoke.

Inside the factory laboratory.

The Mechanical Sage Parus looked haggard, with tiny arcs of electricity spreading across his body, the result of days of intense thinking.

It caused his electronic brain to overload.

"Great Omnissiah, I beg you to grant me the light of inspiration, your followers are thirsty for knowledge..."

Parus knelt down and prayed devoutly, praying for a glimmer of hope.

After praying, he suppressed his trembling hands and controlled the machine to continue the experiment.

bang——

Sparks ignited.

Once again, the material in the crucible was destroyed.

The experiment failed again...

yah~
"Could it be that the God of Machinery really no longer favors me?"

More arcs of electricity exploded from Parus' body. The continuous failures made the mechanical sage fall into self-doubt.

He couldn't even find the reason for the failure.

In recent years, Parus has repeatedly failed to complete the tasks assigned by the Forge World satisfactorily.

At every Mechanical Sage meeting, he was the one who couldn't hold his head up.

Moreover, they were often mocked by their enemies and their funding was cut.

Not only at work, but even in the research on alien materials, which he regarded as his life's work, there was no progress.

This feeling of having no way forward and no hope is extremely painful.

The lab's circuits flickered and crackled.

A trace of black air emanated from Parus's mechanical body, and something in his consciousness data seemed to be tempting him:
Surrender and throw yourself into the arms of the God of true wisdom, and you will get the answers to all your questions!

Parus clearly realized that as long as he devoted himself to the other side, he would immediately gain the knowledge that he had been seeking for many years.

At this moment he finally understood why those members of the Black Mechanicus resolutely stepped into Chaos.

The road ahead was blocked, but the knowledge he had longed for was right before his eyes. All he needed to do was give his consent.

Few tech-priests could resist this temptation.

Neither can he.

"Great God of Wisdom, I am willing to accept this gift..."

Parus's scarlet electronic eyes were covered in dark green. He knelt in a strange posture, with his palms facing upward, begging devoutly.

Ask the Almighty for knowledge.

drop--

The sudden alarm interrupted everything.

Parus woke up with a start, stepped back and knocked over the medicine shelf, and the turbid liquid dripped onto the ground.

It was only then that he realized that everything around him was covered with a layer of black bacteria at some point in time.

His heart was beating violently, as if he was terrified and regretful: "God of Machinery, I almost went astray!"

The mechanical sage clearly realized that if it happened again, he would no longer be able to resist the temptation of knowledge.

call--

The laboratory fell silent.

The pistons of the mechanical lungs moved slowly and squeaked.

Soon, Parus’ attention shifted to the alarm: “Alarm in the furnace area?

Well, that was the alarm that was set 10 years ago..."

As the electronic brain called up the surveillance information, he saw a strange mechanical box.

On it is the emblem of a Forge World.

He was very curious. Could it be that this thing was sent by that being last time?
The can of fuel drink is still fresh in my memory.

Parus couldn't wait and went to get the mysterious mechanical box back himself.

Then close the laboratory door tightly.

After going through several testing procedures, it was confirmed that the black mechanical box did not contain any high-risk substances or signs of chaos.

He opened the mechanical box carefully.

The moment the box was opened, the rich smell of holy oil filled the air.

Parus could tell that it was the smell of high-quality holy oil, which made him feel at ease.

The only thing that can use holy oil of such quality is a mechanical creation made by our sect’s staff.

However, when he took the things out of the box, he was stunned.

In addition to two cans of mechanical fuel drinks of different appearances, there is also an ordinary data pad.

At the same time, it comes with an instruction manual written in binary language.

Parus scanned the page of binary characters, and instantly a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

Translated into Low Gothic, it would look something like this:

Mechanical Forum, open the door to knowledge!
Sharing knowledge, exchanging theories, making friends and cooperating, doctrinal debates, surfing and cursing, hundreds of millions of oil men welcome you to join.

From the genius Kaur!

By the way, remember to try the best tasting authentic brand of mechanical fuel drink.

Moss's improved cards are even tastier! ——Moss, the Great Biological Sage.

A long binary quarrel:
Kaur: I *******.

MOSS: ************.

After that, there is a tutorial on how to make the "Mechanical Forum Special Edition" data plate.

There is also a signal channel adjustment tutorial, telling him how to find the signal channel on the mechanical forum.

Avoid being unable to log into the forum after the initial data board is damaged.

"Mechanical Forum?"

Parus was quite curious. He could understand what this thing was. It was probably some kind of cluster communication that could send information.

It is usually used in important meetings or combat situations.

But what are forums and surfing for friends?

He didn't have much of an idea.

After all, under normal circumstances, the people of the Empire basically use communicators, and under the influence of the subspace, they have no concept of the Internet.

In extreme cases, they even used the most primitive parchment to write letters for communication.

With great curiosity, Parus activated the data pad, and the emblem of the Urs Mechanicus flashed on the high-definition screen.

After that, he quickly entered the interface.

On the interface, there is only a software with a gear pattern and nothing else.

Soon, Parus clicked into the mechanical forum.

Then a registration page popped up, indicating that one needed to pass a test before being eligible to register for a forum account.

"It seems that this is a group organization of a certain mechanical faction. One has to meet the threshold to join..."

Strictly speaking, the Adeptus Mechanicus is an alliance of technicians with a loose organization and too many factions and small groups.

Some Forge Worlds do not even obey orders from Mars Headquarters.

Perhaps the only thing they have in common is their faith in the Omnissiah, and their loyalty to the Empire comes second.

After all, they are a privileged group and the Empire needs them.

Some extreme sects will split off and even join the embrace of Chaos, and are known as the Black Mechanicus.

Not all Black Mechanicus have thrown themselves into the arms of the Chaos Gods; sometimes they are simply too radical in their theories, or carry out too in-depth research into the Warp.

Parus didn't think much about it.

He lowered his head and began to answer the test questions on the page, but the more he did, the more frightened he became.

As he continued answering the questions, they became more and more difficult, and there were even many mysterious questions that were so complex that he couldn't answer them.

Oil began to seep from the forehead of the mechanical sage, and he became serious.

After all, this organization called "Mechanical Forum" is real, and the level of the person who sets the questions is far higher than his.

At this moment, he was fully focused on answering questions and was eager to join the mechanical forum.

I hope that this organization, as mentioned before, can gain the desired knowledge through communication.

"God of Machinery, I need more time!"

When the scarlet countdown appeared on the screen, Parus's nervousness reached its limit.

However, the answer page was ruthlessly closed and entered the scoring stage.

He waited anxiously.

As the progress bar moved forward, his electronic eye detector showed that his heartbeat was far beyond the normal level.

Parus began to doubt himself:
"Is it possible that I haven't reached the entry threshold? How could the Mechanical Forum allow me to enter when I have always failed in my research?"

The progress bar finished and the score appeared on the screen: 60 points.

"Congratulations, you are eligible for registration!"

The red salute exploded, and Xiaoling's mechanical girl animated image congratulated the person who answered the question.

“Praise be to Omnisiah!”

Parus finally felt relieved.

He excitedly registered an account and then gave himself a nickname as required: "Knowledge Seeker"

Then he entered the forum and started browsing the content.

Top content of the forum:

Vote, which one tastes better, the authentic mechanical fuel drink or the Moss improved mechanical fuel drink?
There are various questions and articles on the forum:

What are the nutritional values ​​of ant beef and how to cook it to make it more delicious?

How to improve the defense and durability of coatings?
What innovative applications of special-shaped materials can be used to improve the performance of weapon systems?
What is the true level of the Savior's gaming ability?

Titan rear-mounted aircraft design drawing, please correct me.

Taboo topic: Slaanesh Devil Training Ideas... (Banned and removed from the shelves, account banned for one month!)
I'm offering a reward of 200 gear coins. Please give me a body modification plan that looks cool!

All the Xiaoling believers assemble, I am your dog!
Does anyone know what this place is for? I'm a little scared...

Reply:

1. Anonymous user: Hey, a newcomer? 2. **Sage: Give me two gear coins and I will tell you. 3. Urgent! Please, big guys, the project will be delivered tomorrow, please give me a few gear coins, 30 of them are enough to buy the computing power service of the goddess Xiao Ling...

Can you do this?

Parus seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

At first, he was cautious, worried that this was a conspiracy by some sub-space entity.

But he quickly integrated into the forum and got a general understanding of how it operated.

And understand how important gear coins are.

After browsing the hall for a while, Parus still felt unsatisfied.

The way of thinking and perspective on those issues are very novel, making people unable to stop reading.

Then, he tried asking a question he encountered in the research of alien materials, and attached a reward of 100 gear coins.

He only had so many initial gear coins, which were required to publish academic questions.

Soon, a high-level member at the sage level responded and gave a detailed answer.

"Yes, this is the answer I want!"

Parus was thrilled.

The problem that had been unsolved for many days was solved so simply.

In this forum, the circulation and exchange of knowledge is so natural that it is unimaginable anywhere else.

Few members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are willing to share their knowledge, and the struggle for knowledge may even lead to a war.

However, it has been achieved in this forum.

He couldn't imagine what made these members willing to share their knowledge.

Palu did not continue to delve into the issue. He suddenly thought of a possibility and took a deep breath.

Then, he tremblingly typed into the post a core question in the study of alien materials.

Seek answers.

This problem has troubled him for decades!
However, the next moment he was stunned.

The post shows that if you want to offer a reward for this question, you need 5 gear coins...

Where did he get so many gear coins?
Soon, Parus found the answer.

In addition to answering other people's questions and publishing professional articles to get rewards, you can also pay for your knowledge directly in exchange for Gear Coins!
Parus clicked on the knowledge base page. He seemed to have entered an ocean of knowledge. All kinds of mechanical knowledge he could imagine were there, clearly marked with prices.

What an amazing database!

You can spend gear coins to unlock the knowledge you want.

If you don’t have Gear Coins, you can also upload your own knowledge in exchange for Gear Coins, and then unlock the knowledge you need.

Parus finally understood why everyone was willing to share knowledge in this mysterious forum.

Because they can get more rewards this way!

That knowledge is so tempting.

After flipping through a few pages, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Heterogeneous material fusion process?"

After seeing the relevant content introduction, Parus was sure that it was the knowledge he had been pursuing for a long time but could not get!

This information will definitely help him break through the bottleneck and continue his research.

However, the price tag is expensive: 10 Gear Coins!

Fortunately, the Mechanical Forum provides a quick way to earn Gear Coins, just upload your own knowledge.

Parus hesitated for a moment, then plugged the data interface on his body into the data board.

Start uploading your own knowledge and data.

He longs for that alien knowledge!
After uploading, he anxiously waited for the acceptance, and was even a little bit afraid.

What if this is a scam?
The knowledge he uploaded included some knowledge unique to the Huangquan No. 8 Forging World.

But he soon dispelled this doubt.

Because he saw knowledge about several other forging worlds that he was familiar with on the mechanical forum.

He was not alone, other technical priests also shared their knowledge.

Such exchange of knowledge will only make them more knowledgeable.

Besides, we are all members of the Mechanicus, and such behavior does not involve heresy.

This is not without danger, he might be punished by the director of Huangquan No. 8 Casting.

But Parus couldn't care less. Compared to falling into chaos, the risk was very small.

As long as you are careful, no one will know that you did it. After all, every technical priest has his own secrets.

Soon, Parus received his reward, about 9 gear coins.

If someone later purchases his knowledge, he can also get a share of the profits.

Not long after, someone bought a piece of knowledge he uploaded and earned one thousand gear coins.

"Soon, I will be able to understand the mysteries of the alien materials!"

Parus continued to participate in the mechanical forum, answering questions from other members and earning some gear coins.

……

A few months later.

Parus drank the fuel drink leisurely and replied to the top post related to the fuel drink:
The authentic fuel oil drink is really delicious. I can taste the fermented holy oil in it.

He wrote a long and eloquent paper on the subject.

Parus has been having a good time recently. He has exchanged for the knowledge he has always dreamed of and his research has made further progress.

These days, he has been hanging out in forums and has acquired more new knowledge than in the past hundred years.

Now he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't check the mechanical forum for a day.

“I’m learning!”

he thought so.

Suddenly, a mechanical pattern with flames burning floated across the page. It was Master Kaul entering the forum!
Parus was familiar with these symbols. High-level members of the Mechanical Forum had special symbols and screen effects.

Unfortunately, his level is not high enough to have these.

"Master Kaul liked my post?"

Parus was quite excited because this mysterious master possessed unparalleled knowledge.

Deeply loved by forum members.

More importantly, this Master Kaul was very generous.

Sure enough, after liking the post, Parus received a reward of one thousand gear coins.

He might not be able to earn so many gear coins even if he worked for a month, which made him more determined to become a genuine fuel drinker.

Soon, Parus charged forward for Master Kaul and denounced those evil oil-drinking schools.

But he didn't realize that he had unknowingly turned into the shape of a mechanical forum.

drop--

The servoskull's communication signal lights up.

It was a communication from the Forge General, urging them to attend the Mechanical Magos meeting tomorrow and deliver the research project.

"Oops, I haven't even started my project yet..."

Parus suddenly realized that he had been busy reading mechanical forums and doing his own experiments these days.

He had only completed half of the task assigned to him.

After the Emperor's own son, the Primarch of the Ultramarines and the Regent Lord Guilliman announced the Indomitus Crusade to seek revenge on Chaos.

With the gathering of a huge army, transportation logistics and large-scale production tasks became more important.

The major forging worlds undertake heavy production tasks and need to optimize and develop more advanced armaments.

As a mechanical sage, Parus was also assigned corresponding tasks.

Moreover, this mission was an urgent one, and the foundry director personally took charge of it.

The task will be delivered tomorrow, and the Mechanical Sage who fails to complete it will be punished.

Even though time was so tight, he didn't worry too much.

Because of the existence of the mechanical goddess Xiaoling!

Parus was assigned a complex data calculation task that would require him to use only his own electronic brain to calculate.

It takes a lot of time.

However, with the assistance of Xiao Ling's computing power, he can complete the calculation at several times or even dozens of times the speed.

The computing power is a bit expensive, and the specific speed depends on how many gear coins he can come up with.

Fortunately, Parus still had a lot of gear coins left. He immediately spent more than two thousand gear coins, connected to the data board and uploaded the relevant data.

Accompanied by Xiao Ling's intervention.

The capacity of his electronic brain seemed to have expanded several times in an instant, swimming in a sea of ​​data.

What a wonderful feeling...

"Praise the Mechanical Goddess!"

He praised devoutly, and then immediately began the measurement task.

The night passed.

Parus went to the Foundry Palace refreshed to attend the meeting of the Mechanical Sages.

at the meeting.

The Foundry Director was furious because half of the Mechanical Sages failed to successfully complete the urgent tasks assigned to them.

When it was Parus' turn to deliver, he handed in the test results with ease, completely crushing his old rival in terms of accuracy.

Make him furious.

Moreover, because he completed the task well, he was praised by the casting director, who called him the valuable brain of Huangquan No. 8.

Not only was Parus praised, but several other mechanical sages who delivered perfect research results were also appreciated.

"Sure enough, with the Mechanical Forum, we can be 'far ahead' in the research path as the forum said!"

Parus was secretly excited, and he looked at the other mechanical sages who were praised.

He knew how these mechanical sages came up with such good research results.

Because they are also members of the Mechanical Forum.

He developed it himself!

……

Agrippina Forge World.

In the machinery hall.

"Damn idiots, how dare they leak out this world's precious knowledge!"

A Master Alchemist clutching a captured datapad found on one of his Tech-Priests.

He was furious: "I will report this to the foundry director and have you traitors completely eliminated!"

The Alchemist Master was resolute in his attitude. Such behavior would not be allowed to happen again in this forging world.

He flipped through the data pad, trying to see what had bewitched those idiots.

"Praise the Omnissiah, what a wonderful alchemical ritual!"

It wasn't long before the Master Alchemist's electronic eyes widened as he anxiously sought to acquire knowledge.

But there is no way to unlock it.

As a last resort, he ordered the mechas to release the technical priest and raise the barrier at the same time.

Quietly ask him how to use the mechanical forum...
-
Ers planet.

Spire Mansion.

Ron sat at his desk, looking over papers.

After reading the relevant documents of the online trade shopping software, he began to check the development report of the machinery forum.

These days, the Mechanicum Forum has attracted millions of Mechanicum members and provides them with relevant services.

At the same time, a series of content has been updated, such as titles, special effects, personal spaces, tens of thousands of sub-forums, etc.

Moreover, due to the activity of giving gear coins to new members, the membership of the Mechanical Forum is still expanding.

Just as Ron thought.

The Mechanical Forum provides a communication platform for the Mechanicians that is not disturbed by Chaos, and is very popular among the members of the Mechanicus.

The exchange of knowledge has brought immeasurable benefits to every member.

Those members of the Mechanicum uploaded a huge amount of knowledge.

In addition to personal research knowledge, it also includes core knowledge of certain important vehicles.

This has enabled the database of the Urs Mechanicus to accumulate terrifying technical data.

If things continue to develop in this way, one day the Ers Mechanicus will surpass Mars and possess the largest database in the galaxy.

Of course, the Empire also benefited from the overall improvement in the strength of the Mechanicus members.

However, the biggest benefit was that he got his territory. The immeasurable rich knowledge accelerated the development of the territory.

Today, the territory has launched vigorous scientific research and production.

In addition, given the huge amount of data accumulated and the worship of the members of the Mechanicus, the little spirit has become more powerful.

Ron had a vague feeling that Xiao Ling, the machine soul, had a tendency to become some kind of conceptual god.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

But as the Mechanical Forum expands, it will inevitably be exposed and may be attacked.

At the same time, the lives of forum members were threatened.

This was something he didn't want to see.

Ron frowned, thinking about how to crack it.

He didn't want this incident to cause bloodshed or even a war within the Mechanicus.

But at this point, he couldn't stop.

Ron thought of a way, gritted his teeth and sent a message to Kaul: "No matter what method you use, recruit more members and speed up the expansion!"

……

half year later.

Huangquan No. 8 Forging World.

Mechanical Palace.

boom--

The huge mechanical feet crushed the metal floor.

"We must wage war, take back the knowledge, and catch those traitors!"

The Casting Director clutched a data tablet in one of his robotic arms.

The anger caused thick black smoke to rise from its more than ten-meter-tall mechanical body...
