As the Blood Angels arrived, various machines and talents from across Huaxia began to be drawn and mobilized.
Especially after both sides worked together to break down the barriers to information exchange. The sharing and research of various technologies reached a fever pitch.
Tech-Sergeants carefully placed storage devices containing various technologies into their toolkits.
Meanwhile, scientists excitedly stared at the list of technical information names displayed on their computer screens.
Anti-gravity! Power weapons! New alloy materials...
Especially when mechs, this technology, began to be researched and developed jointly by both sides.
Dullens, for one, even took a pickaxe hammer and a monofilament dagger, carved with various Imperial Creeds, from who knows where, and began carving the Emperor's divine words onto the outer armor of the experimental mechs about to be assembled.
Furthermore, among them, Chapter Master Affos even proposed that after returning, the scale of these mechs should be reduced. Combining it with Dreadnought technology, it would allow veterans who had completely lost their limbs to pilot them.
This proposal received unanimous approval from all the brothers in the Chapter. However, in the eyes of the scientists who understood the specific situation, it seemed somewhat a violation of human rights and morality.
But this was the current state of Warhammer 40k!
The mechs were manufactured smoothly. With Huaxia's powerful complete industrial chain and terrifying manufacturing capabilities, after partial technical analysis, all components were gathered in just half a month, followed by assembly and production in another month.
However, the final armor shells were delayed in being attached.
This was because all the outer shells had to be engraved with the Emperor's divine words. And according to tradition, even for every stroke carved, the person carving should perform a ritual akin to three kneeling and nine kowtows to praise the Emperor.
Dullens initially wanted to do the same, but by the final stage, before even finishing the armor for one foot, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from the Chapter Master, who had regained his mobility.
Then, under the Chapter Master's orders, all the Blood Angels began using their monofilament daggers to carve the Imperial Creed Codex onto various parts of the armor.
And the poor Dullens, after being knocked out by the Chapter Master, woke up to be ordered to kneel before the giant mech on one knee, holding the Imperial Creed Codex and reciting it devoutly.
The other brothers listened to his recitation and began carving elsewhere!
Quan Tiehua watched this scene, sniffing. For some reason, he was reminded of the perfect city during the Great Crusade.
The Word Bearers and their great father, Lorgar, were practically religious fanatics. They called the Emperor a god.
But the Emperor refused this title due to matters of the Warp. And these guys, in their zeal to spread the Emperor's faith, slowed down the progress of the Great Crusade. Consequently, the Word Bearers were ordered to kneel and watch the Ultramarines destroy their perfect city.
It was also because of these events that when the rebellion finally occurred, the Word Bearers collectively sided with Chaos.
But how laughable...
Lorgar, who had become a Chaos Daemon Prince, could never have imagined that the Imperial Creed Codex he wrote, which the Emperor deemed heretical, would become one of the crucial pillars protecting the entire human Imperium after the Emperor ascended the Golden Throne.
Such immense irony, anyone would find it unbearable.
What made it even more unbearable was that after becoming a Daemon Prince, he would often be driven to the brink by believers who worshipped the Emperor and held the Imperial Creed Codex he once wrote.
This situation was truly a display of filial piety and a grand act of filial devotion!
Looking at Dullens kneeling below, reciting the Imperial Creed Codex, Quan Tiehua tried even harder to stifle his laughter.
Dullens, for some reason, felt a sense of familiarity with this scene, a familiar yet unpleasant feeling.
Even when he finished reciting, and looked up at his brothers carving on various parts of the armor.
He always felt like some people were secretly laughing.
As the last piece of armor was secured, Chapter Master Affos, having removed his Power Armour, put on a set of specific plastic-like clothing.
However, unlike normal suits, the interfaces on his body that should have connected to Power Armour were exposed.
This was a technology jointly developed by the Tech-Sergeants and scientists.
They combined neural interfacing with this technology on the Power Armour, allowing Astartes to pilot this mech, which was almost second only to an Emperor-class Titan.
As a circular disc at the top descended, mechanical tentacles extended from it one by one, attaching to each interface.
The moment the interfaces connected, the numbers on the laboratory screen showing neural integration leaped violently, then stabilized into a pattern resembling an electrocardiogram.
With the success of the first step, various experiments followed. Utilizing the technology of a Chainsword, retractable chain weapons were mounted on the sides of the arms.
However, due to material limitations and the fact that this was an experimental unit, the saw blades did not use monofilament. Anyway, the technology and experimental data were here; if needed, they could always return to the Imperium to re-experiment with the data and change materials.
Furthermore, the entire mech was equipped with anti-gravity devices. And to accommodate the special environment of the Imperium.
The overall mech was largely modularly assembled. For example, the internal structure and external armor.
If they wanted to use mass-produced cannon fodder, they could change the materials. Just find any machine, even a stamping machine from the current 2-3k era, and they could mass-produce these parts. Then, the engine and other components could be easily fitted, creating perfect cannon fodder mechs!
And this mech had weapon mounting slots on its shoulders, head, waist, and legs, all built according to the instructions of the Tech-Sergeants.
This was so that upon returning to the Imperium, they could directly connect the weapon wire harnesses, assemble them, and tighten the screws to use them immediately.
Four small Plasma Rapid Fire Cannons, modeled after plasma pistols, were placed on either side of the head.
Although they were rapid-fire cannons, due to their obvious drawback, they could only fire rapidly for one minute before requiring cooling.
But even so, it was acceptable. After testing, each shot from these particles could penetrate an Astartes.
And on the back of this giant mech, a large recessed groove was left. This was for equipping a Void Shield upon returning to the Imperium.
After all, its role was defined by the Blood Angels as a high-mobility, close-combat destructive Titan for rapid advances.
Without a Void Shield, it could be shattered by an enemy's shot during a charge.
"Experiment successful!"
As each planned experimental project was completed and marked as qualified. The mech's experimental phase concluded perfectly.
However, as this was an experimental unit, many subsequent technologies could not be analyzed and manufactured in a short period. Therefore, many parts of this mech were simplified replacements.
