Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 72 From now on you are the oil man!
With a clang, Ron threw the welding mask into the pile of spare parts next to him.

He looked at his masterpiece, clearly very satisfied:

"Not bad, it looks like you. You'll be the oil man from now on!"

Standing in front of Ron was a "person" wearing a rusty red hooded robe, with an iron skull mask on his face, scarlet electronic eyes, and an octopus-claw-like mechanical arm on his back.

And the most eye-catching thing is the Imperial Sky Eagle logo that Ron had just welded on.

This image is not very similar to the technical priest of the Mechanicus, it is exactly the same!
"Governor, what is a motor oiler?"

Moss, who looked like a "tech-priest" of the Mechanicus, scratched his head, somewhat confused.

"The Oil Man is a member of the Mechanicus. They like to transform their bodies through various mechanical technologies..."

Ron introduced the Mechanicus to Moss in detail.

The Adeptus Mechanicus, headquartered on Mars, is an important religious organization within the Empire whose members possess strong technical capabilities.

Although they were nominally part of the empire, they were more like a state within a state.

They have their own exclusive technology, their own forging world, army and fleet.

Of course, like other organizations in the Empire, they worship the God-Emperor, the Omnissiah.

They also believe that there is a "mechanical soul" inside all machines.

Machines can only be used because of the existence of mechanical souls.

The Tech-Priests of the Mechanicus are responsible for most of the Empire's scientific research, engineering, equipment maintenance, and industrial production.

Another important task of theirs is archaeology, unearthing the technology left over from the golden age of mankind.

After Ron finished explaining, he looked at Moss and gave the order:

"From now on, you must play the role of a technical priest and are not allowed to reveal your true identity to anyone!"

"Ok!"

"Adjust your voice, make it a little colder and hoarser!"

Soon, under Ron's training, a cold, mechanical-loving technical priest named Moss appeared.

"I always feel like there's something missing..."

He stared at it for a while, then went to tinker with the parts pile and made a mechanical scepter which he handed to Moss.

This makes it more like it!

Of course, these all seem a bit crude.

Just use it temporarily, and then Moss will slowly modify his body.

"This Governor officially declares that from now on you will be the Chief Technical Priest of the Royal Court District!"

"Tech-Priests" is just a general term for members of the Mechanicus, which covers thousands of different roles.

Genetics explore the mysteries of biology; blacksmiths build and repair war machines; logicians are responsible for processing various secret methods and data information.

These are the major categories, and there are many more complex subcategories.

For example, the communication monk, the thinking monk, the technical shaman, the three-creation master, etc.

Outstanding members in a certain field among them can obtain the title of Mechanical Sage.

Such as technical experts, metallurgical masters, alchemy masters, school masters, puzzle-solving sages, technical assassins, relic maintainers, sacred seekers, etc.

Next are the Sages, such as the highest-level Sages - Chief Hermit, Lord of Doctrine, Old Master of Machinery, Data Predator, and so on.

These people are often the foundry directors of the various foundry worlds.

Does it make you feel a little dizzy?

Just feel dizzy.

Ron was also a little dizzy and didn't even know if he had said it right.

The structure and hierarchy within the Adeptus Mechanicus are intricate, with overlapping titles and a constant state of flux.

Simply beginning to comprehend the structural hierarchy of the Mechanicus, its towering, edifice-like structures, is beyond the processing capabilities of the human brain.

But no matter what, with the technology in Moss Electronic's head, it shouldn't be a problem for him to become a saint in the future.

The title has been decided: it’s “The Old Mechanical Lord”.

"alright.

Sir Moss, let's go!"

"Praise Omnissiah!" Moss said in a hoarse electronic voice, leaning on his mechanical scepter.

Very good, really into the show!
Ron quickly took Moss out of the secret room. From now on, Moss was the technical priest of the Royal Court, with a special identity and residence, and a robot servant was arranged for him.

Afterwards, Ron took Moss to a machinery factory in the Royal Court District.

The machinery factory was littered with all kinds of strange mechanical parts, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

He brought Moss here mainly to meet the former mechanical engineer of the Royal Court District.

Although Moss has the technology, it is still a question whether it can be used under the current conditions.

Therefore, specialized technicians are needed to assist him and help him make what Ron wants under the existing conditions.

As soon as Ron and Moss got off the car, a mechanical servant came to greet them.

The robot was in tatters, leaking oil everywhere, and it was a little sluggish:

"Dear guest, please follow me..."

It guided Ron and others to a place and opened the steel gate.

As soon as the door opened, a man who looked like a mechanical priest and was dressed in a rust-red robe walked out.

The man had slight signs of mechanical modification on his body, and was wearing a skull and mechanical claws.

He was extremely enthusiastic, even to the point of flattery:

"God of All Things, Governor, you are finally here!"

Ron looked at the man in front of him named Sally Cole:
"You're not doing any research you shouldn't be doing, are you?"

Kaul was firm in his attitude and shook his head:

"I swear in the name of the followers of the God of All Things that there is absolutely no such thing!"

Suddenly, Kaul saw Moss and became a little flustered:

"Could this person be..."

The man in front of him was obviously a technical priest, and he, Sari Cawl, was just an impostor who had never been recognized by the Mechanicus.

As a fake, he was of course very panicked when he suddenly met the real thing.

The Sali family, to which Cawl belongs, was once a member of the Mechanicus, and his grandfather was a radical exploratory sage.

But because his grandfather's mechanical ideas were too radical, even the radicals thought they were too radical.

This resulted in all members of the Sali family being stripped of their identities and titles and expelled from their forging world.

Afterwards, the displaced Sali family came to the planet Ers, where they were treated favorably by the Grant family and provided with technical support.

The Sali family has always wanted to restore the glory of the family and continue on the path of mechanics.

But they always like to study some forbidden technologies, which caused a lot of trouble.

Especially when it comes to Kaul's generation, he has always regarded himself as a technical priest.

The so-called machine soul link technology almost destroyed the entire machinery factory and the surrounding area.

But in view of the Sally family's contributions over the past thousand years, Ron spared Kaul.

They just sent people to monitor him and prohibited him from doing any research until now.

Ron found it funny to see Cole's panic, but did not expose him.

"This is Lord Moss, the technical expert of the Mechanicus..."

Kaul was becoming increasingly nervous, as he turned out to be a high-ranking member with the title of Sage!

He greeted stiffly:
"Respected Sage, I, I am..."

Facing Moss's cold red mechanical eyes, Kaul stammered and could hardly speak.

Ron came to Cole's rescue and pointed at him:
"Kaul, the technical dervish"

Moss stared at Kaul and nodded: "Hello, Kaul, may the God of All Things bless us!"

Ever since Moss started playing the role of a technical priest, he has been muttering in a mysterious way, occasionally uttering a series of binary symbols.

But to outsiders, this looks very Mechanicus-like.

"Praise the God of All Things!"

Seeing that his identity was not exposed, Kaul finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ron was not going to let Moss and Cole know each other's true identities.

Let these two imposters keep pretending...

He plans to gradually rebuild the organizational structure of the Mechanicus through Moss and Cawl and provide technical support to the Royal Court!
