For example, the structure and external armor used ordinary mecha materials. But by the time the finished product rolled off the line, it would be made entirely from Astartes Plasteel Power Armour materials.

Moreover, this mecha was built to the specifications of the Blood Angels, to meet the demands of the Imperium's brutal warfare, and not for the current need to face individual monsters.

Therefore, after the successful testing of this mecha, it was directly gifted to the Blood Angels. After all, it was an experimental unit and did not fit the combat role of this world.

When the only difficulty in technological sharing is removed, it's almost instantaneous.

"I wonder if those Adeptus Mechanicus guys will go crazy when they see this technology?"

Vals, holding the technical storage device with a new prosthetic arm made from limited materials, watched Quan Tiehua and Chapter Master Affos drinking beer.

"They definitely will! New technologies and application theories. I estimate that in our Chapter's hands, these technologies probably won't be used to their full potential. Let's keep some backups for ourselves. As for the rest, we can discuss it with the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars. See if we can supplement our Chapter's basic supplies! Then, we can consider holding an auction, and then subdivide some other technologies to some industrial planets..." Chapter Master Affos, over the years, had led this nearly annihilated Chapter through struggles, and had some means and brains for survival.

"Oh, right! I saw them, sometimes they eat toast for breakfast. I wonder if those stories in the Imperium are true?" Quan Tiehua suddenly remembered some jokes he saw in his previous life when he heard about these things.

It was said that in the 30k era, the toasters used by Earthlings were like sacred relics in front of those Adeptus Mechanicus members.

It was like the appeal of a fleshlight to a lonely otaku!

The others were stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant. Chapter Master Affos smiled and said, "There was indeed such a thing at the time! And it was quite widely spread. However, we never witnessed the specific true events ourselves."

It turned out that one of the Adeptus Mechanicus members discovered a toaster during an archaeological dig. Seeing the unique and smooth design, and the machine inside that could almost arbitrarily adjust its functions, he experienced an extreme mental climax.

They all believed it was a weapon, and a very precise one at that.

And they also believed that the Machine Spirit inside must be very, very special!

Then...

It has been widely spread to this day. And even now, the Adeptus Mechanicus is still collecting these machines.

Logically speaking, in the Imperium, almost no one knows what these machines are for.

But now, the Blood Angels have arrived in this world and witnessed the function of that machine.

Then everyone fell into a strange silence. Especially when they asked if these could also be included in the technology exchange list?

The person in charge directly waved his hand and said it was a free gift, as many as they wanted!

Then, this matter slowly became a joke throughout the Chapter. But everyone kept their mouths shut tight.

Because their Chapter Master had given orders that this matter must never be spread back to the Imperium.

And he even specifically took a large bag of toasters!

After the battle in Fusang, Kyoto, the monsters on the other side of the wormhole seemed to have quieted down, remaining silent until 2025.

Then the battle reignited, and it was fierce.

And at the United Nations, as the pressure from the monsters increased, the countries' insistence on forcing Huaxia to hand over its technology became firmer.

However, the Blood Angels paid no attention to these matters. They were currently training the elite soldiers and special forces selected from various armies.

Or perhaps participating in experiments with various equipment and weaponry.

Especially after the Tech-Sergeants presented the shriveled head of the little idiot, which had been dried out, to everyone, having retrieved it from the rebar welded to the back of Quilstein like the World Eaters.

This almost insane collaborative research project was urgently halted.

Because several older individuals present were so frightened that they fainted on the spot. Some young female assistants were so terrified that they screamed hysterically, triggering the entire base's alarm.

Under duress, the Chapter Master and the person in charge held another discussion, and human genetic research was thus suspended. Although both sides could exchange existing technology and science, further research was prohibited.

Gers, his muscular upper body exposed, was powerfully built and imposing.

At this moment, he was kneeling beside a massive piece of equipment, on a floor so smooth it reflected his image, covered with all sorts of tools.

And servitor skulls, created by the Tech-Sergeants, rotated nearby, occasionally handing him tools and solving minor problems.

He was building a motorcycle.

As someone who pursued freedom and speed, he was arguably the Astartes in the entire Chapter who loved and understood motorcycles the most.

But the Chapter was poor!

Until they traversed dimensions, he couldn't even afford a motorcycle of his own.

But now. Especially after seeing the speed of the missiles flying, and the fighter jets that zipped past overhead with a whoosh.

A bold idea sparked in his heart.

Together with Quilstein and other Tech-Sergeants, using the remaining Promethium Fuel mixed with monster blood, They finally matched a new type of energy source.

And the energy conversion rate was very considerable, but a major drawback was that it could not be artificially synthesized from natural chemicals or minerals.

The monster blood had to be extracted from the monster's body.

This was almost a difficult problem for them.

Even Quilstein wanted to bring back some scattered blood and flesh tissues to find a place to secretly clone them after returning to the Imperium.

Gers didn't bother with these matters anymore. As for the fuel, the engine had been modified to accept any kind of fuel.

Especially after the base's person in charge learned of this news, he directly arranged a wind tunnel for him, and terrifying electrical energy was drawn directly from the surrounding cities.

Comparing the existing technology with past wind tunnel test data.

After Gers's modifications, a new motorcycle capable of reaching a top speed of Mach 10 appeared.

It could easily outrun the Ling Clan's Vampire Reavers from a great distance.

However, there was one major drawback: when the Mach 10 speed mode was activated, the Astartes pilot had to be completely plastered onto the motorcycle.

Buckles on the motorcycle would lock him in place, and his vision would be limited to the motorcycle's external viewing equipment.

Maneuvering was also difficult, as sudden turns created immense gravitational forces. While a powerful Astartes could withstand them, the materials used for this cheap and effective motorcycle could not!
