Easy-to-Deal-With Sage

"Of course, as a Bio-Sage, my main research project is how to construct a complete self-circulating ecosystem on a planet." Ovilia appeared very confident in her professional research: "In fact, I am trying to improve the planet's ecosystem, transforming it from a Desert World to a Paradise World.

Although I don't expect you to understand the greatness of my research, I still hope that you can provide enough support for my research, just like the previous governor in the contract."

Chen Xi was surprised when he heard that Ovilia's research was actually about transforming a Desert World into a Paradise World.

This technology is not particularly rare in the Warhammer world. To be precise, whether it is the Imperium of Man, the Eldar, or the young T'au, each faction actually has similar technologies, but it is just a matter of efficiency.

The T'au have a real need for this technology because their territory is small, so they have studied it in depth. Therefore, they do have unique insights in transforming planets, and their efficiency is very high.

As for the Eldar, that is purely the heritage of an old galactic overlord. Sixty million years of civilization is enough for them to have a few individuals with equipment to transform a planet from a Death World to a Paradise World in a short period of time.

As for the Imperium of Man... if you ask whether the Adeptus Mechanicus has such technology, of course they do.

Large-scale planetary transformation technology is not difficult for the Adeptus Mechanicus. The agricultural worlds of the Imperium can even adjust a series of data including lighting, planetary axial tilt, and orbital period.

When necessary, the Adeptus Mechanicus can even drag planets to change their orbits, flatten all the peaks and rugged terrain on the planet, and then transform the entire planet into a vast plain for large-scale mechanized agriculture.

Driving agricultural machinery larger than a Warlord Titan, cultivating land filled with fertilizer in the air, this is the agricultural world of the Imperium.

In fact, the Imperium does not carry out planetary environmental transformation to make the planet's environment better, more because the Adeptus Mechanicus believes that this is too inefficient.

After all, they are a group of religious fanatics who believe that radiation is a blessing from the Omnissiah, and that the human flesh should be abandoned. It is somewhat difficult to expect them to understand what natural ecology is.

"I can understand the greatness of this technology, and I may also understand why there are no Adeptus Ministorum around you, Sage Ovilia. I'm afraid you are often called a Heretic, right?" Chen Xi looked at Sage Ovilia, the expression on his face revealing a bit of joy.

He didn't expect to encounter a 'Heretic' Tech-Priest, which is a very rare thing.

"Although I am skeptical of your words, you are right, I am indeed a 'Heretic'. It is precisely because of this that I do not have the treatment that a Sage should have, neither the Adeptus Ministorum nor a Forge Ark." When Ovilia said this, she was somewhat lonely and even indignant: "But as long as I can complete my research, I will be able to make a comeback! Let those fools in the Forge World see the value of my research!"

"Uh... to be blunt, even if you succeed, I'm afraid this technology will not be valued by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Shouldn't this conflict with the teachings of the Omnissiah?" Chen Xi bluntly pointed out the biggest predicament Ovilia faced.

Chen Xi suddenly felt a death stare, as if the gear-shaped forge axe was about to chop his head off in the next second.

But in the end, Ovilia gave up this impulsive idea and instead said: "You are right, my colleagues whose brains are muddled by the Omnissiah's teachings will not understand how important it is for the Imperium to transform a planet into a Paradise World, nor will they understand that there are ways to practice the Omnissiah's teachings other than turning flesh and blood into metal and machinery.

My mentor once taught me that we should not call ourselves priests, but scientists. This is what the pioneers in the field of technology in the Golden Age of Humanity called themselves."

Hearing Ovilia say this, Chen Xi suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, Sage Ovilia, could your mentor be..."

"It seems you've heard of my mentor's name?" Ovilia revealed a surprised look. She didn't expect Chen Xi to know her mentor.

"High Sage Belisarius Cawl, I have long admired him. I didn't expect to meet his disciple." Chen Xi said the name he guessed.

"It seems you really know my mentor, but it's a pity that I only studied with him for a period of time. He probably doesn't remember having a student like me, right?" Ovilia revealed a lonely expression.

Listening to Ovilia's words, Chen Xi didn't know what to say. After all, based on his understanding of that High Sage, Ovilia was probably telling the truth. She might not even be Cawl's student.

Because Belisarius Cawl had replicated himself. Just on his Forge Ark, there were at least dozens of Cawl clones, each clone shouldering different tasks.

Ovilia quickly adjusted her emotions and said to Chen Xi: "If you are willing to support my research, then I can contribute my knowledge to you, or even sign an agreement to work for you as a consultant.

After all, in my current situation, all I have to trade with is my knowledge."

"No need to worry, Sage Ovilia, knowledge is the most precious wealth in this universe." Chen Xi didn't think that the bargaining chip Ovilia offered was low. On the contrary, he thought it was exactly what he needed.

Huang Laohan really gave an SSR as a newbie bonus! A student of Belisarius Cawl, even if she might only be a student taught by a Cawl clone, she is still a genuine Adeptus Mechanicus Sage!

Moreover, she is a Sage who is being ostracized and doesn't even have Adeptus Ministorum by her side. This is the best target to win over and recruit!

Thinking of this, Chen Xi suddenly had a brilliant idea in his mind: "Sage Ovilia, I wonder if I can provide you with enough resources and help, can you build your own Forge World?"

"Why do you have such an idea? The construction of a Forge World is not as simple as you think. Rostov II's output is not enough to support the construction of a Forge World, and there is already a Forge World in this sector. The Adeptus Mechanicus will not approve a new Forge World to compete with it for orders." Ovilia looked at Chen Xi strangely, not understanding why he had such an idea.
