I write apocrypha in Warhammer

The secrets of Cologne are well hidden.

Wei Mu and others took the elevator down for who knows how long before they stopped.

Or maybe they actually just dropped one floor, and something lengthened the feeling.

This inevitably reminds Wei Mu of the so-called "non-existent floors" that often appear in mystery novels.

It must be difficult for the enemy to invade here, Wei Mu thought.

Where the property is stored, it is natural to set up a few more defensive measures.

As the elevator slowly stopped, everyone was sent to a dark place.

It's very quiet inside, and the slightest sound can cause a loud echo, like an empty cave.

Foundry General Andre recited the binary mantra in his mouth again, turned on the surrounding lights, and the true appearance of the Cologne Treasure House gradually appeared in front of everyone.

This is a very huge place.

Countless samples and technologies are sealed one by one in a static position, as if they are exhibits for people to watch in a museum.

Some of them are just small pieces of jewelry, while others are larger than War Titans.

Although the body shape and appearance are very different, without exception, every item here has an unimaginable value.

Andre first pointed to the largest bomb object above their heads and introduced: "That is the Final Agreement, a thing that, after being released, can allow young stars to explode into supernovae within six Terra months. , you should know that supernova explosions are one of the most primitive and powerful natural forces, and the impact of high-temperature particles produced will directly devour nearby planets."

Wei Mu couldn't help but complain: "You guys are really arrogant to hang this thing on your head."

Andre said: "Don't worry, it is very safe here under our strict protection."

Having said that, Ke Wei Mu has no rigid need to blow up a certain star.

In fact, when the empire fights with others, it is usually to compete with the enemy for control of the planet. Even if it means overturning the table, there are more convenient things like the Extinction Order. Exploding stars looks very powerful, but its practicality is not very good. .

"How much is this thing worth?"

"Making it requires the use of many aspects of technology, the unremitting efforts of hundreds of thousands of workers, and the cycle lasts for more than fifty Terra years."

"That's okay, not too outrageous."

"And the subsequent one hundred and fifty years it took to appease the machine spirit within it."

Gan!

I almost forgot about this.

In order to prevent the corruption of Chaos, the empire's weapons and equipment often need to undergo various religious blessing ceremonies after production. To put it bluntly, it is the so-called God Dance.

Especially for large-scale war machinery, every steel plate and screw must be baptized by a mechanical priest, which results in a very long production cycle.

But you have to do this seriously.

Otherwise, you will wait for the subspace storm to come, and these mechanical equipment will be corrupted, and they will start to grow sarcomas and other things, and then you will attack your own people.

"Speaking of which, when you were producing gene seeds, did you also do this kind of thing, such as cultivating gene seeds in those small petri dishes, and then surrounded by a group of devout believers singing the Great Compassion Mantra? Some space warriors are born with natural Is it because he is more able to withstand corruption because the people dancing around him are more pious and work harder during the cultivation of his gene seeds?" Wei Mu suddenly asked.

Gene seeds are equivalent to a war group's "household affairs". It is often inconvenient for outsiders to ask. Even when the Terran government collects taxes, it only counts the quantity and does not investigate the source. Therefore, Wei Mu does not know much about this matter. Too many, and I am very curious.

As a result, his words immediately stunned several people next to him.

"Our Mechanicus worships the God of All Machines, and holds various rituals to appease the machine souls in the equipment. However, the gene seeds are flesh and blood tissue, and there is no way to feel our sacred binary language." Andre said.

"Other war groups don't know, but our Dark Angels don't do this anyway." Moore also said.

Unlike mortals, the vast majority of Space Marines do not regard the Emperor as a god, nor do they allow mortals to approach their gene-seed banks, so there are not so many religious rituals.

"I see, then I can really find a chance to give it a try in the future." Wei Mu said thoughtfully.

"Have you not always opposed the emperor's ascension to the gods? Why have you become interested in this set of things?" Moore asked.

"Faith is a powerful force that actually exists in this universe. We must make use of it. In addition, faith does not have to be related to gods. It may also be just a simple blessing. It just has the emperor covering it. Then, these blessings will not be distorted beyond recognition by some malicious existence." Wei Mu explained.

"A very interesting point, young man. I will open a topic for this later and study it carefully. Maybe I can stabilize [it]." The foundry general said.

"What is this so-called [it]?" Wei Mu asked curiously.

"That's it." Andre pointed to a container in the distance.

Like other things, that thing was also placed in a stasis position. It seemed to be some kind of biological organization, some kind of gene seed?

"The Super Raven Guard Project was once the hope of the Raven Guard, but due to the contamination of the traitors, it eventually turned into a tragedy. Over the past ten thousand years, we have been trying to fix the mistakes in it, but the results have been very little. A large number of The gene seed samples were consumed, and only one person barely reached the ideal state, while the others became pathetic defective products, so the technology was not yet ready for use."

Andre said, and took a special look at Tiberius beside him.

Obviously, this is the source of the Shark Chapter Master's power far beyond that of ordinary Space Marines.

When the Emperor launched the Primarch Plan, he had already encountered the rebellion. Therefore, in order to prevent the rebellion from getting out of control, the Emperor deliberately limited the power of superhumans and prevented them from becoming too powerful.

It's just that the Emperor failed to anticipate that the backlash from the warp would be so violent. Technologies that could have enhanced humanity were left behind in the chaotic galaxy, much to the regret of future generations.

Tiberos himself said nothing about the Raven Guard, a subject that must have made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

So Wei Mu decided to talk about something else to divert everyone's attention.

"What are those?" He pointed to some disc-shaped metal lumps next to him.

"That is a data storage, which contains the lifelong wisdom of a certain sage." Andre explained.

"What about the watery stuff?"

"Is that thirsty water taken from the planet Baal, an elemental life that can absorb moisture in the air? It obviously has the attributes of a living thing, but it is far from the characteristics of a regular living thing."

"That green ring?"

"The technological product from the Old Night Era, I think it is some kind of practical application of the power of the orcs' thinking by the sages." Andre said, "It can turn imagination into some kind of temporary reality."

It was just a casual question at first, but Wei Mu was stunned for a moment by this explanation.

waaagh! That's right energy is green.

It is true that I think that the power of thinking can make imagination closer to reality.

But the two are connected with this ring, so why does it sound like they are talking about something else?
