A Small Instance?

The Void Dragon, Magradros, perfectly encompassed the domain of the Trinity machine spirit.

Or rather, nothing that exists in the mechanical realm can escape the control of the Void Dragon, unless a new god is born in the Warp and exists in a realm that can rival him.

Vashtor, a demigod of the Warp and creator of the Daemon Engine, walked this path.

However, as it stands, Vashtor is still a demigod, far from being just one part of the Eight-pointed Star, and is not yet able to contend with the C'tan of the Materium.

"How are you feeling?" Alvin asked.

"Not bad." Magradros smacked his lips as if savoring the moment. "Their data processing mode is different from the current mode of the Mechanicus, much more efficient—and it also hides a huge database, which I can brute-force if you need it."

"Not needed for now."

Alvin shook his head. "Keep them for now, they might come in handy."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the Trinity machine spirit trembled, especially the Logic Soul, whose face was filled with bitterness. It never expected that the agreement it casually proposed would end up trapping it!

If it were Alvin, they believed that with their abilities, they might still be able to find a weakness.

But now, the protocol controller, who was the fourth pillar, has been changed to "Void Dragon." This C'tan controls the mechanical field of the Materium, although still a fragment, has an almost unreasonable power to control the Machine Spirit life!

Want to escape control?

It's impossible in this lifetime. With just a thought, the Void Dragon can completely obliterate the rationality they've accumulated over tens of thousands of years!

"I don't understand—" The Logic Soul looked bitterly at Alvin and asked its question, "Why would a great Materium C'tan obey your commands so readily? In our database, even the 'Necron' of the past never made C'tan willingly submit."

"Hmm?" Alvin suddenly turned his head, his eyes like those of a hawk, staring intently at them. "Necron - how did you learn that name?"

The Necron are the precursors to the Necron.

But now, including the Aeldari, they only refer to them as "Necron" instead of the ancient name "Necron".

Faced with his questioning, the Logic Soul fell silent, while the Anger Soul gave a cold laugh, half fearful and half annoyed. "What's wrong with that? We know a lot more than just the Necron."

"It seems you have more secrets than I imagined." Alvin looked at them meaningfully, then turned to the Void Dragon and said, "They're yours to keep an eye on. Do a good job—and I'll reduce your sentence by fifty years."

Upon hearing the words "reduction of sentence," a glint flashed in the Void Dragon's eyes. It turned and grinned maliciously at the Trinity machine spirit: "Don't worry, with me here, they can't cause any trouble!"

One month later.

On planet CV-7721, the remaining minerals and other resources, including the Adamantium- like vein, have all been mined out and transferred to other worlds.

With Alvin around, their fleet had an advantage over other Rogue Trader.

That means there's no need to worry about supplies; with Alvin backed by several worlds, ample resources, iron ore, food, and so on can be readily supplied.

The 30,000-ton Adamantium vein was handed over to Sentinel Prime.

The technical team it led was responsible for overcoming the challenges of replicating the alloy's composition.

However, if a replica is not possible, then it can be integrated into Power Armor to create a new generation of more comprehensive and powerful Power Armor designs. As for the blueprints, Alvin can only rely on his memory and the few remaining oaths of the family to have Sentinel Prime imitate the "Gold Corn" design as much as possible.

Once the warships have completed their resupply and emptied the planet, their new voyage will begin.

What suggestions do you have?

Alvin stood in the bridge command room, gazing at his predecessor, his cheap father, "Edras."

"Advice?" Edras remained arrogant, laughing loudly, "A truly mature Rogue Trader doesn't need anyone's advice. This is your route, a completely new, undiscovered route. Everything is unknown; you'll have to explore it yourself. Of course, if you want to choose my route, I have no objection."

You can shut up now.

The old man kept saying that you were immature, which made Alvin glare at him irritably before turning his gaze to the star map.

Their current position is slightly to the left of the planned flight path, about tens of light-years away. If they enter Warp, they can return to the main course in just a few days.

After a moment's thought, Alvin made a decision to continue along the current course.

As long as the destination, the endpoint marked on the star map, remains unchanged, the method of travel and the direction of travel are actually unimportant.

Warp Engine Activated!

The Trinity machine spirit was officially integrated into the warship's secondary Machine Spirit control panel, and the cold voice of the Logic Soul echoed across the bridge.

"Orbit prediction initiated, Warp navigation activated, Star Whisperer access activated, Route map access activated - Begin route planning."

It must be said that with the addition of the Trinity machine spirit, the Warp route of the Sword of Redemption has become clearer and more straightforward.

Previously unavoidable or even unpredictable Warp Storm have been almost entirely avoided by the addition of the Logic Soul!

Moreover, with the "Eternal Forge" in place, their speed of travel in the Warp was increased by dozens of times, almost like skipping stones at the speed of light!

Several days later, we arrived at the Mandeville Point predicted by the Logic Soul, and were able to drive out safely.

"Very good."

Just as Alvin was about to send the fleet out of Warp for a short rest, he suddenly heard a notification from the long-absent system.

[Bite!]

[Dear Navigator, a small traversable node has been detected ahead. Do you wish to proceed?]

What does "small traversable node" mean?

Alvin was stunned for a few seconds. This was the first time he had ever heard of small nodes. Were they all large nodes before?

[Small traversable node worlds, accessible only once, cannot be anchored, consumes a huge amount of energy, and cannot be expanded]

The system's explanation was rather vague, but he still managed to grasp a little bit; it was like a mini-game.

Unable to re-enter; the outcome is unknown.

After careful consideration, Alvin nodded. "Okay, may we bring other people?"

[Can be carried]

"Understood."

Alvin remained calm and instead pressed the communication button. "Winnie, Ilya, Hilda, come to the bridge command room to find me. The rest of you, rest."

This is a perk from the system, might as well take it!

He pondered for a moment, then, fearing it wasn't enough, added, "Bring Ollsen along, and another company with him."

That should be enough, right?
