Technology That Changed the Imperium

"The Imperium is a terrible regime, but even so, it is infinitely better than Chaos."

Scalp shouted, "Stop being so stubborn! Lay down your weapons and surrender, and you will receive a fair trial!"

"Die, you bastard, you damned traitor!" Jona shouted angrily. "No one can judge me. All the Corpse Emperor's lackeys should die."

He stood up from behind the bunker, picked up the Lasguns, and tried to shoot it at his Scalp.

"Madness."

The Scalp reacts much faster than Jona's.

Before the other person could even pull the trigger, he swiftly opened fire, blowing the other person's head off.

"This is a fitting end for you."

Scalp walked up to Jona's body and gave his final verdict on the man's life.

Although Jona promoted him,

But after witnessing the cruel methods this guy used to deal with ordinary people, I really couldn't muster a single bit of pity or mercy.

If the other party were willing to surrender obediently, Scalp naturally wouldn't have to take action himself.

If they resist stubbornly, they will only face certain death.

He had Revenge the Imperium's citizens who had perished.

The surviving guards were killed, Scalp led the rebels to shut down the fortress's defenses and open the gates.

Players from the Emperor's Cattle Warband leaped out of their hiding places, raced over obstacles, and rushed into the fortress.

Titus's squad followed closely behind.

They haven't forgotten their original mission and have continued to investigate the Worm-men.

They vowed to completely eradicate this Xenos threat from the Imperium of Man.

According to several prisoners, the Xenos assisting the Colin Family and their servants had taken refuge in this fortress.

They then followed the God Chosen.

Upon learning of the traitor within their ranks, the rebels quickly arrived, attempting to establish a defensive line to block the invading Imperium forces.

"Killing in the name of the Emperor, killing in the name of Roboute."

Titus was born to kill.

He held Bolter and continuously fired at the traitors on the other side of the passage.

The gunshots and his footsteps were perfectly synchronized.

The helmet's sensor module outlined the poor creatures charging at him in a dull orange silhouette and identified them as low-threat targets.

Titus calculated the damage precisely.

A single bomb could slaughter several pitiful mortal rebels; there's no need to waste it.

The bombs continued to explode.

Before long, the passage was filled with mangled corpses.

The man who dropped his weapon and knelt on the ground begging for his life was ignored by Titus.

He sped past the men and headed deeper into the fortress.

The dead are worthless; only the living can atone for their sins.

The Imperium has other plans for these guys.

They will pay any price for their betrayal.

"Wow, as expected of the two Chosen, their killing speed is too fast."

I can't believe Ten-Timer exclaimed as he followed the Kill Team.

"This guy's shooting skills are definitely top-notch."

Strategist revealed an expression of envy.

"Practice hard, and we'll definitely reach the Hall of Fame level too," the Turtle said. "The filial son is the best example of that."

The Warmaster had just secured a kill, tilted his head and looked at the Turtle.

An invisible question mark appeared on the bright yellow helmet.

A filial son?

Isn't this nickname a bit too outrageous?

"You bunch of damn bastards, all you do is give people nicknames, huh?!"

"..."

The rebels inside the fortress were easily defeated and collapsed like a house of cards.

The Imperial Army advanced with unstoppable momentum, quickly taking control of the main areas.

The Deathwatch squad, led by Titus and Kelt,

With their extensive hunting experience, they followed the trail left by the Xenos and found a large hall deep underground.

Traitors and Worm-men who have allied with the Xenos are attempting to build a Warp array here that can teleport across galaxies.

Entering the Warp without any Aegis is tantamount to certain death.

But faced with the ever-increasing threat of the Imperium, they had no choice but to resort to this risky method.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Titus and the others were too fast.

Before they could finish preparing for the ceremony, the other side stormed in.

Several metal columns support the marble dome.

The hanging luminous lights illuminated the entire space and the crowd gathered there.

Hundreds of people dressed in black robes gathered in the hall.

Between them was a raised platform, upon which stood several tall figures dressed in black robes and wearing hoods.

The figures turned around and looked at Titus and the others who had rushed in.

What's terrifying is that these people have no faces; under their hoods are black, wriggling worms.

Its terrifying appearance subconsciously triggers trypophobia in people.

"Damn, I'm definitely going to have nightmares from now on."

Seeing the Worm-men creature made Wrist Bro feel terrible.

The Warmaster also felt his hair stand on end. "What kind of monsters and demons are the Imperium's enemies?!"

Mount and Blade King: "I finally understand why the Emperor wanted to exterminate these Xenos. Just looking at them makes my sanity drop! How can we cooperate?"

Ten-Timer: "According to the information, the Worm-men seem to also like to enslave humans and feed on human emotions."

The Twisted Man, "Stop talking, just use Neutron Sweep. Their brains are too fragile to handle this stuff."

"..."

"Block them and buy time for the master."

A woman stepped forward and pointed at Titus and the others.

She is none other than Ms. Percy, the representative of the Eternal Consortium.

The next second, the believers screamed and rushed towards Titus and his group.

"Fire."

Titus's voice was cold.

The other members of the Kill Team and the players carried out the order.

Ten seconds of explosive firing eliminated the threat posed by these heretics.

Ms. Percy watched this scene with a deathly pale face.

The vibrant believers were reduced to scattered, broken limbs within seconds.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Titus's expression remained unchanged throughout.

He had nothing to say to these traitors.

They have made their own choices, and I have simply shown respect and allowed them to receive the outcome they deserve.

After killing the heretics, the Kill Team and the players raised their guns and began shooting at the Worm-men on the platform.

The Worm-men's body is composed of countless maggot-like worms that can fuse together and whose surface is covered with a viscous liquid.

Bang! Bang!

The bomb landed on the Worm-men's body, splattering liquid.

They let out sharp cries of pain.

Only those at the very front were safe and sound.

An invisible, unnamed force field blocked all the incoming bombs.

The resulting explosion only caused faint ripples on the surface of the force field.

The Worm-men let out a threatening roar.

Then, it pounced on the Kill Team's Orpha with incredible speed, aiming to hunt down this veteran of Deathwatch.

Standing to the side, Scalp rushed over and bumped into Orpha, who hadn't reacted yet.

The next second, the Worm-men shattered the armor on the Scalp, surged in, and devoured flesh and blood.

Boom!

The self-destructing bomb implanted in the Scalp was activated.

The terrifying explosion instantly sent the Worm-men flying, crashing into the wall of the hall, splattering disgusting fluids everywhere.

"Damn you, you wretched food?"

Even with the protection of a special shield field, the Worm-men was still severely injured by the explosion at such close range.

"Die, Xenos."

Orpha raised his gun and glared at the Worm-men in front of him.

If it weren't for that God Chosen stepping forward, he would be the one who died.

"Your rotten Imperium will eventually fall, just like many Imperium of the past, swept into the dustbin of time."

The Worm-men's voice was hoarse as he uttered a vicious curse.

"But we are immortal, and we will witness your destruction."

"Immortality? Don't even dream about it. We will definitely find your home world and turn everything to ashes."

After Orpha finished speaking, he pulled the trigger on the other person.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The explosion roared.

The Worm-men was blasted to pieces and died completely.

"No! You damned executioners."

Ms. Percy was devastated as she watched her master die.

Kelt wanted to finish off this despicable traitor with a single shot.

But Titus reached out and pressed the muzzle of the gun down.

Taking advantage of the situation, the nearby technical sergeant Darius fired a tranquilizer dart and captured the heretic traitor alive.

"Why not kill her?" Kelt asked.

"These Worm-men aren't all of them. We need to find their nests and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Keeping this woman alive will allow us to gather more information."

Titus explained to the Kelt

The Worm-men died, and their servants were also killed or wounded.

Fred Colin was captured, and the surviving rebels all surrendered.

This small-scale battle has now come to an end.

In a certain upscale residential area in reality,

A 26-year-old with fair skin, whose greatest suffering in life was simply drinking an iced Americano, a young man wearing a gaming helmet, lying on the living room sofa.

Suddenly, he sprang up with a jolt.

After taking off his helmet, he subconsciously touched his face and hands.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no abnormalities.

The feeling of being devoured by the Worm-men was so real that he felt as if he had already been eaten.

After exhaling, the young man picked up his phone and opened WeChat.

Mom: "Awei, let me introduce you to Aunt Wang's niece next door. She's a homebody just like you, but she's a good girl."

Dad: "You little rascal, we let you work at our own company, and you're always either sick with a cold or fever."

"It seems that all the auspicious smoke from the Li family's ancestral graves has been emanating from me, otherwise how could there be a rascal like you?"

"It's okay if you don't go to work, just don't hang out with those shady friends, don't break the law, and definitely don't get involved in things you shouldn't. It's the weekend, remember to come back for dinner, I'll have someone cook something you like."

Li Wei didn't look at the other people's messages.

I only looked at my parents' messages and replied to them.

"Mom, stop thinking about blind dates. I can manage the family's money myself. Your son is so stupid, he'll get tricked and be done for."

"Dad, the auspicious smoke rising from our ancestral graves must be because of me, otherwise how could I be a lazy bum who just gives up?"

"OK, I'll definitely go back this weekend."

After replying, Li Wei tossed his phone aside.

I glanced at the helmet and realized I had to wait another hour before I could revive using Faith Points.

He went to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of electrolyzed water, gulped it down, and then strode toward the study.

Li Wei's study is very spacious.

A wall of shelves was filled with books.

Horus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames, Necronomicon, Pacific Rim, Dawn of the Necronomicon: Into the Void, The Old Republic: Deception, Halo: The Fall of Reach...

They are all science fiction related books.

The cabinet on the other wall displays models.

Famous characters from Warhammer, Cthulhu, Jedi, StarCraft, and many more are included.

Li Wei sat down at the computer and joined the Warhammer Toilers Group chat group.

Night Lord Asks If Your Scalp Is Itchy: "Brothers, does anyone know why? I got eaten alive by Worm-men!!"

Malz Hive City.

Qin Yun looked at the star map projection floating in front of him, then turned to look at Inquisitor Caidin beside him.

"Are these the coordinates of that unknown Star Gate?"

"Yes, we interrogated those traitors several times and conducted lie tests using neural devices to confirm the authenticity of this intelligence," Caidin nodded.

After the battle, the Titus Squad handed over key traitors, including Fred Colin and Ms. Percy, to the Inquisition.

Under the numerous interrogation techniques employed in the Inquisition, these traitors did not last long before being forced to reveal everything they knew.

"You did a great job." Qin Yun nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It is our honor to share your burdens," Caidin said sincerely.

He then withdrew.

Qin Yun looked at the star map projection.

This unnamed Star Gate is located on the edge of the Calixis Sector.

The Warhammer Universe also has Star Gate technology.

The Gate of Hades and the Gate of Elysium in the Solar System were built by humans Golden Age.

They allow ships to disregard the Mandeville Point safety rules and freely enter and exit the Warp.

Besides the Star Gate built by humans during the Golden Age,

Some Star Gate were built by races even older than the Aeldari.

It allows for faster Warp travel.

Some Star Gate not only allow ships to freely enter and exit Warp, but also enable the establishment of a stable Warp route between two Star Gate.

Star Gate are not as advanced as Webway, but they are more advanced than ordinary Warp travel.

The Webway is a special dimension that isolates the Warp and opens up a path between reality and the Warp.

Star Gate are merely a supplement to Warp travel, enabling ships to reach their destinations more safely and quickly.

At present, the Webway is an unattainable dream for humankind.

Even if the Aeldari are allies of humanity, they will not teach humanity how to use the Webway, let alone acquire the technology to create Webway.

Of course, even if the Aeldari were willing to teach humans how to build the Webway, they probably wouldn't be able to.

Because they themselves don't know how.

If we could control the Star Gate, we could also ensure Warp travel.

When used on some important routes, it can increase safety and speed.

At this moment, a golden light screen appeared.

[Mission: Acquire Star Gate Technology]

Star Gate technology is a more advanced technology than ordinary Warp travel. Once acquired, it will enable humanity to establish a rapid transit network in Warp, revolutionizing interstellar travel.

Rewards: Star Gate 1.0 technology and a large amount of Faith Points.

Qin Yun stared at the mission light screen floating in front of him for a while, then turned to look around.

He always felt that some lazy, stay-at-home guy was paying close attention to him 24/7.

Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that every time a new discovery is made, a new mission is launched immediately?

The Star Gate 1.0 version has pretty good technology and rewards.

If Star Gate could be widely adopted, it would certainly accelerate the Imperium's transportation efficiency and further reduce the Imperium's transportation costs.

Of course, we must also pay attention to potential risks.

If Star Gate is opened, could it create a gap in the Warp, triggering a continuous influx of Ethereal tides into the Realspace, leading to events such as an invasion by Chaos Daemon?

"Xi Ling," Qin Yun called out.

"Master." Xi Ling's projection appeared.

"Call Old Bird and Reckless General over here, I have something I need them to do."

Normally, these two guys stay on the Imperial Glory, using Xi Ling's computing power to do their research.

Those two damn involutionary types, they can play games and still slack off on work, they need to be made to go out and do some work.

"Yes, Master Xi Ling will call them for you immediately. Is there anything else you need?"

"There is none left."

Xi Ling's projection flickered a few times and then disappeared.

Half an hour later, two iron lumps, each nearly four meters tall, walked into the hall where Qin Yun was.

After seeing the various high-tech weapons on Cawl's body

The two, Old Bird and Reckless General, went further and further down the path of Mechanical Ascension.

They have more and more mechanical prosthetics installed on their bodies, and their size is much larger than that of ordinary players.

They euphemistically call it: 'Knowledge is power'.

The more knowledge you have, the stronger you become.

Even in the Warhammer Universe, implanting too many mechanical prosthetics can cause self-perception disorder and lead to related personality disorders.

This is also known as Cyberpsychosis.

Fortunately, when players change jobs, the Emperor provides targeted upgrades for different classes.

Those who love battle will be given genetic enhancements and Battle Intuition, becoming Astartes.

Those who enjoy piloting mechs and fighter jets typically enhance their neural reflexes, battlefield data processing, and Machine Spirit compatibility.

Those who prefer to use their brains and choose mechanical paths will enhance the stability of their brain nerves and soul.

The Emperor enhanced the brains and souls of Old Bird and Reckless General Mech Party members.

This allows them to tolerate more mechanical prosthetics while maintaining self-awareness.

"Guide".

"Guide".

Both players' throats were modified.

The sound it emitted was mechanical and cold.

Qin Yun sized up the two men and noticed the guns and cannons implanted in them; his lips twitched slightly.

If you put these two on your desktop, they'd be considered behemoth units.

"There's a mission that requires you to lead a team to carry out."

The Old Bird and the Reckless General exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing curiosity and eagerness.

"It is our honor to serve you, sir," the Old Bird replied.

"The Inquisition has extracted some valuable information from those traitors, including the coordinates of an ancient and unknown Star Gate. I need to send someone to investigate this matter."

"Star Gate?" the Old Bird repeated in a questioning tone.

"Yes, Star Gate." Qin Yun nodded. "It may be a remnant of Dark Age of Technology, or it may be from an even more ancient race. In any case, we should keep it firmly in our hands."

"That sounds interesting." Reckless General's expression turned expectant. "Is the Guide going to entrust us with this task?"

"Yes, is there any difficulty?" Qin Yun asked.

"Of course not," the Old Bird shouted. "It is our honor to serve you, and we will certainly not let you down."

Qin Yun nodded. "Very good. Once your Scalp recovers, you can set off."

"Once you reach the coordinates, if you find Star Gate, scan it and submit the data. That will complete the mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, the database of the Old Bird and the Reckless General popped up with a task.

[Mission: Acquire Star Gate Technology]

Star Gate technology is a more advanced technology than ordinary Warp travel. Once acquired, it will enable humanity to establish a rapid transit network in Warp, revolutionizing interstellar travel.

Basic rewards: 100,000 Contribution Points, 15,000 Honor Points, and 35,000 Faith Points.

Commission rewards: Awarded based on performance evaluation of completed tasks.

After accepting the mission, the two players returned to the Imperial Glory, formed a team, and waited for Scalp to respawn.

Qin Yun provided them with a research vessel and several escort ships to ensure that they could successfully complete their mission.

The Old Bird and the Reckless General are very fast.

They have consistently served as technical advisors and maintenance supervisors for the Imperial Glory.

A group of Tech-Priest assisted them.

Upon hearing that they were going to research new gadgets, these Tech-Priests became incredibly excited, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.

One by one, people rushed to sign up, and they almost got into a fight.

The internal promotion rules of the Adeptus Mechanicus require mastering a sufficient amount of technology.

Advanced knowledge often requires a great price to acquire.

Acquiring new technology means being able to exchange it with others, thereby gaining a wealth of knowledge.

This is why members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are so fond of archaeology, digging up the graves of Necrons.

Because once you discover something new, you can exchange it for knowledge with other Magos and grow rapidly.

Within the Adeptus Mechanicus, there are numerous examples of Magos after discovering rare STC fragments.

Just as the Old Bird and the Reckless General had selected suitable helpers to form a research team, Scalp came looking for them, followed by Warmaster, Ten-Timer, and other players.

The Emperor's Cattle Warband also received a mission to protect the safety of the research team.

After all, the Warhammer Universe is fraught with danger.

Without some fighting skills, you can't even do scientific research.

After confirming the supplies needed, the group set off, heading straight for the Warp Star Gate.

Not long after they set sail, the Magos Morio, the head of the Forge World Las, sent Qin Yun a communication request.

This Magos was once the head of the Occulum Forge, and distinguished himself in the fight against the traitors of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

After reclaiming the Forge World Las, he was promoted to head of the entire Forge World.

As for the Dragon Lord and Council that originally managed the Forge World Las, Qin Yun dismantled them.

Those who have made contributions will be given new positions, while those who have not will be relegated to some unimportant worlds to serve as guardians of the Magos.

"Request approved."

Qin Yun finished speaking,

The projector placed next to it started humming.

Embedded in the wall, the neatly arranged Cogitators grimaced in pain as data flooded in, their bodies twitching slightly.

The electrostatic beam of light leaped and outlined an iron mountain covered with cables and prosthetics.

Qin Yun once thought that the iron mountain was some kind of mechanical device.

Until I saw something that looked like a head on top.

"Living Saint." Magos Morio's voice came from a brass speaker.

His head looked somewhat comical atop his mountain-like mechanical body.

"Magos Morio." Qin Yun nodded.

"The thing you entrusted to us to build has been completed as expected," said Magos Morio.

"So fast?"

Qin Yun was somewhat surprised.

The speed the other party displayed was so exaggerated that it felt somewhat unreal to him.

Although, before entrusting the other party, he repeatedly emphasized that we should not delay the progress and should not repeat meaningless actions.

However, he was also prepared for the possibility that the other party's project progress would be slow and that he would need to constantly push them forward.

Who would have thought that, right after defeating the rebels, they would send him good news?

"The Beacon is a great creation of Omnissiah, and we naturally dare not neglect it. We have gathered several forces that Forge World and are prioritizing its operation."

The Magos Morio explained.

Before their expedition, the Living Saint entrusted them with the technology of Beacon.

They claim this is the wisdom of the Omnissiah.

Let them build a brand new Beacon in the Automata Hive World.

Used to guide ships across the galaxy and create Instant Communication Network between star systems.

The Magos Morio was overjoyed to have acquired the new technology.

Immediately mobilize all factories that have resumed production to manufacture the relevant components.

They were then transported to the Automata World for assembly.

Other Forge World in the Calixis Sector also participated in this project.

The requirement is that the Forge World Las must share the wisdom of the Omnissiah with them.

Magos Morio agreed to the request, which is why the entire Adeptus Mechanicus of the Calixis Sector was able to gather its strength in such a short time to build the new Beacon.

"Very good, Omnissiah bless you." Qin Yun showed a satisfied expression. "I will also remember your contributions."

"It is our honor to serve you, Living Saint."

The Magos Morio was very humble.

The fact that the Living Saint shared various techniques with them, enabling them to glimpse more of the truth, is already an immeasurable grace.

How could I possibly take credit for this?

"Activate it immediately and integrate it into the current communication network," Qin Yun said.

"Understood. Praise be to Omnissiah. We will follow your will."

Having received Qin Yun's permission, Magos Morio immediately went to preside over the activation ceremony.

With three chimes, the giant Beacon device suspended in near-Earth orbit in the Automata World was activated.

The massive Quantum Engine roared, and a violent tremor swept across the huge platform in an instant.

Under the guidance of the monks, the believers of the Ecclesiarchy chanted the "Lectitio Divinitatus" in unison, guiding the torrent of faith toward the Beacon to protect it from being corrupted by evil.

A bright beam of light shot into the depths of the Void and disappeared into the Warp.

Navigators in several star sectors near the Calixis Sector spotted the beam immediately.

On the Imperial Glory.

"Master, the Beacon of the Automata Hive World is online."

Xi Ling immediately reported to Qin Yun.

"Very good. With this new Beacon, it won't matter if the Imperial Glory leaves," Qin Yun said.

Previously, the Calixis Sector only had one Beacon Imperial Glory.

Once a movement is initiated, all galaxies must be notified promptly.

They need to correct their reference coordinate system for proper navigation.

Otherwise, there will be huge deviations.

Now that we have a new Beacon, it's not so complicated anymore.

Ships that need to conduct Warp navigation can simply use the Automata Beacon as a reference.

Furthermore, instant messaging no longer needs to rely on the Imperial Glory; the Automata Beacon can perfectly replace it.

In this way, it becomes more reasonable for the Automata Hive World to be the capital of the Calixis Sector.

The Automata Beacon had been activated for only a short time.

The maintenance crew of the Pharos Beacon and the Macragge's Honour discovered this brand-new Beacon.

"Has another area been lit up?"

Guilliman, who was preparing for the Indomitus Crusade in Terra, received the news immediately.

"Make contact immediately and see how they are doing."
