Arkan Land's Mars Archaeological Mission
On the twelfth day after arriving at the Vigilant Fortress, Arkan Land, engrossed in the sea of data, found Nimrod.
"My lord, I have reviewed all the information in the Archives and have mastered the method to activate the Doomsday Weapon."
"However, it lacks a structural diagram, and it would take four years to disassemble it."
"I think the person who created this Doomsday Weapon probably didn't want future generations to make such dangerous weapons."
Nimrod frowned; there was no structural diagram in the data storage room.
He then thought that Abaddon hadn't actually moved the Void Claws, only taking away the key components, perhaps because he and the Fallen hadn't found the structural blueprints.
"I understand. Please compile the information and send it to me. I'll figure something out."
"My lord, I am ready," Arkan Land, pulling out a Data Crystal. "This is the key information about the Void Claws that I have compiled."
He left immediately, Omnissiah said there was a way, and there must be a way.
After Arkan Land left, Nimrod placed the Data Crystal into the playback device and quickly browsed through it.
Even though he was not a professional diviner, he knew that the more secretive and unknown the Mystery of divination were, the more difficult it became.
The more information you have, the higher the probability of a successful divination.
Astrological charts only require incomplete information, but the structural diagrams for divination of Doomsday Weapon are different.
After a quick scan, the Primarch 'Primarch Superhuman Brain had memorized all the information.
Nimrod took out the Dice of Prophecy from his waist, and the information about the Void Claws flashed through his mind.
The Void Claws does not fire physical missiles; instead, it fires energy streams that bypass all types of force fields and obstacles, causing spacetime to shatter.
The shattered spacetime energy was transferred to a pre-defined coordinate point, opening a tiny singularity and releasing a destructive force similar to that of a black hole.
Black holes can be artificially created to the point that they can reverse the continuity of spacetime and cause gravitational anomalies.
When the Void Claws operates at its highest power, it can create an anomaly similar to the gravitational collapse of a black hole, leading to galaxy-scale astronomical catastrophes.
...]
After silently reciting it eleven times, he reached out and threw the Dice of Prophecy in his hand.
After tumbling several times in the air, the triangular cone plummeted downwards, landing in Nimrod's outstretched hand. At that moment, a magnificent scene unfolded before his eyes.
The silver machines were connected together by a dense network of pipes.
Nimrod took out a blank Data Crystal and recorded the structural diagram of the Void Claws inside it.
After verifying that everything was correct, he found Arkan Land.
The machines in the control room were already lit up, Arkan Land was at the central control console, his hands flying across the console.
Nimrod walked up to Arkan Land and handed him the Data Crystal.
"Structure diagram of the Void Claws."
Arkan Land's eyes widened, and he thought to himself.
How is this possible!
Only six and a half hours have passed.
Arkan Land immediately inserted the Data Crystal into the data Servitor's body and quickly examined it.
When he saw the perfect creation, every pipe and every rune inside, he felt as if he were experiencing the Big Bang.
Arkan Land saw the Void Claws's exquisite and perfect structure, the ultimate manifestation of the Mystery of the God of All Machines.
His mind was in turmoil; as knowledge surged, common sense was overturned.
How is it possible to master the structural diagram of Doomsday Weapon within six hours?
Nobody can do that!
A thought flashed through Arkan Land's jumbled thoughts like lightning.
Lord Nimrod is the Omnissiah!
Only He can do it!
Having become a true "Savant," Arkan Land calmed down, opened his eyes, and looked at Nimrod with reverence.
"My Lord, by Your mighty power, I have grasped the key to the Void Claws."
"I can transfer it from the fortress to the warship."
"I believe that soon we will be able to manufacture even more Doomsday Weapon to serve you."
Nimrod in satisfaction. From Arkan Land's attitude and choice of words, he could tell that he had completely replaced the Old Man in Yellow in his heart.
Sixty Work Cycle later, the people of Vigilant Star were astonished to find that the Volian Sandstorm Vortex, which had been swirling in the sea of sand for thousands of years, had disappeared for the first time.
Upon learning the news, Boylo Agamenus immediately dispatched a large number of his men to explore the sandstorm area.
After fifteen Work Cycle, he received the report.
"What? The Shadow of Order forbids anyone from entering."
"Shortly after Lord Nimrod arrived, the Volian Sandstorm Vortex vanished into thin air; this must have been Lord Nimrod's doing."
"What incredible power!"
Lord Nimrod's image became clearer in Boylo's mind. Before, he only knew that the Primarch was invincible, but it had always been somewhat vague.
He accepted the order from the Primarch's Attendants's servant a day later, requiring the Vigilant Star to obey the command of the Sage of Arkan Land, without the slightest hesitation.
With the assistance of the Lord of the Forge, Arkan Land mobilized the production capacity of the Soul-Grabber Planet, Vigilant Star, and their satellite, Xinhao Star, and completed the magnificent project within five Terra months.
At the top center of the Shadow of the Throne stands a magnificent fortress, the second tallest building on the Gloriana-class Battleship, its top only lower than the base of the Primarch's Palace.
Nimrod ordered the voyage to begin, and before returning to Vostonia, he specifically met with Arkan Land.
"Arkan Land, you shall depart tomorrow and return to Mars."
"No," Arkan Land immediately said, "Please allow me to follow You!"
"Arkan Land, I fully understand your loyalty, but I have a task for you."
Upon hearing that Omnissiah had given him a task, Arkan Land calmed down from his disappointment at not being able to follow the Holy Light.
"My lord, please give your command."
"Mars contains dangerous Underground Catacombs and technological vaults, hiding lost Standard Template Construct, lost artifacts, and technologies. Your mission is to find them."
Once Arkan Land calmed down, he remembered his original plan: he intended to follow the Squats on their planetary towing journey, and then return to Mars to begin excavation.
"I understand. I will definitely complete the sacred task you have entrusted to me."
Nimrod thought of Arkan Land leading a team into the Mars Great Library to search for a working STC Archives.
This expedition became the most successful STC recovery operation during the "Great Crusade".
Arkan Land not only found blueprints for the Land Raider main battle tank, the Land Crawler multi-purpose heavy engineering vehicle, and the Mars Land Crawler, but also found rare anti-gravity plate technology data for the Land Speeder.
All of these pieces of equipment are named after his surname.
He looked at the "Archaeologist" and began to speak.
"Your first stop is the Mars Great Library, where you will find lost secrets."
"In this process, you will master the power I have given you."
"I understand, and I will never let you down," Arkan Land said solemnly.
"I will dispatch a frigate and five Tech Sergeant to accompany you."
"If you discover anything, report it to me through prayer."
"As you command." Arkan Land accepted the order; he had always been isolated and had few subordinates.
Although the Tech Sergeant cannot be certified to enter the core area, their assistance will make exploration operations more efficient.
