The most important thing to measure the strength of a region is whether its industrial base is complete enough.
After decades of development, Alicia Sector has been able to achieve self-sufficiency. Therefore, it is too easy for Blackwatch to build a Rick Robo-Cat production line.
Maybe it's out of feelings, or maybe it's to leave a trace of your lost youth.
In order to make this group of low-quality robot cats the auxiliary race of Blackwatch, Hogg also equipped them with special equipment.
Hogg shamelessly plagiarized the image of a certain multiverse bully, and also created the same dimensional space pocket for these machines Rick.
Although there is no fourth-dimensional space like genuine products, it is better than nothing. Ricks with a pocket on their belly can provide super-class wartime logistics supplies for Blackwatch and Space Marine.
Each one has a capacity the size of Leman Russ Tank, which is enough to support the ammunition consumption of a high-intensity battle, allowing the boys of Hogg to carry more individual firepower.
And Hogg is quite willing to use materials. Thanks to the good relationship between Blackwatch and Night Lords, most of the high-quality Adamantium mines on Noztramo were sold to Alicia.
These Rick skeletons use Adamantium very extravagantly. If Mars Adeptus Mechanicus saw it, they would have to yell at Hogg for wasting their natural resources.
The Adamantium skeleton and the skin made of liquid metal make this group of Rick Robo-Cat quite able to withstand damage. Even if Bolter hits them on the face, they can quickly repair themselves.
Perhaps it is because they were born from Psionic Energy after Hogg devoured the Maker. This group of short winter melons have superb mechanical knowledge and are comparable to Hogg boys like Ork.
After a Black Watch veteran discovered that Doraemon's pockets were very suitable for hiding stolen goods and that they could imitate him, this group of Cloaked Cockroaches became even more enthusiastic about their friends.
The newly born Rick Mark V was quickly picked out. The Blackwatchs who did not have their own Doraemon strongly requested to expand production, but they did not know that Hogg was powerless.
If you want to become a Rick Robo-Cat with a soul, you must use items with Machine Spirit as the core for reconstruction and assembly, which puts a shackles on their population growth.
For a race, such shackles are fatal, but for humans, only imperfect creations are allowed to accompany them.
Without the influence of human emotions, Machine Spirit cannot germinate, and without Machine Spirit, they cannot reproduce. This is why Hogg is assured of the existence of this emerging race.
In terms of newborns, Hogg has already reached the upper limit of Rick. They can only become vassals of human beings and be controlled by others.
Magos Candice, who wanted to understand this, did not stop Hogg's experiment this time. Instead, she provided a lot of guidance and suggestions to her disciples, but she still had concerns.
"Hogg, although Rick Clan has no possibility of harming humans, other Imperium forces will not listen to your explanation. What will happen when they are held accountable?
You must know that what you did this time has almost touched the red line of Emperor. Anyone who looks at this group of Rick will think that you are engaged in AI. Have you figured out how to explain it to Emperor?"
Hogg, who thought it was some big problem, waved his hand and said arrogantly:
"How dare they! Those losers can't understand and blame me? My Blackwatch is not a free man. If you want to arrange it, I first ask my heirs if they agree."
"My sword is not at all disadvantageous. If you have the guts, just tell them to give it a try, and I will make them all 'loyal' the next day."
But when he thought about Imperium's current unlucky state, Hogg also felt that it was really possible for these gangsters to use this to attack him. There was no way to guard against thieves.
Hogg, who was no longer arrogant, squatted on the steps, thinking about how to rectify the name of his creation. Soon his "amazing wisdom" provided him with an idea.
"Teacher, what do you think we give Rick a new identity?"
"New identity?" When Candice heard Hogg's suggestion, he knew that Hogg was going to make a change, and raised his chin to signal him to continue.
"Teacher, look, the previous Eldar can activate Webway, and Old Man Yellow defaults to them as Abhumans; the later Zerg can engage in attrition wars for Imperium, and Old Man Yellow also recognizes them as pets.
So this time I will give Rick the name Emperor's Spirit, what do you think?╰(￣ω￣o)"
"Poof!" A mouthful of engine oil was sprayed out by Candice.
She suspected that her sound receiver was broken just now. Such a rebellious statement caused her processor to heat up by 7%, and the danger alarm went off, warning her that her biological brain was seriously overheated.
Thanks to the pre-set processing program, the pale white refrigerant liquid evaporated into a cloud, and the biological brain of Candice, which had been used for more than 300 years, was saved.
"Traitor, do you think I don't know the territory of those guys? Your mind has come up with such an unreliable method!"
"Emperor's Spirit, Hogg If you want to die, don't bother me. Alicia Sector is not enough to harm you with your words. Are you awake?"
Unexpectedly, one of his words would cause such a violent reaction from Magos. He quickly supported his teacher and Hogg explained his thoughts carefully.
"My wise Magos, don't panic, I have scientific basis for this." "Huh? Scientific basis." Candice said in his heart that there is a fart scientific basis. Didn't you arrange Emperor to be Chaos God!
Other Primarch loves Emperor like crazy, and is afraid that something will damage Emperor's reputation, but you, on the other hand, are afraid that your old father's life will be nourished.
Seeing his most trusted teacher staring at him with distrust, Hogg felt aggrieved, but a truly strong person will not be trapped by his heart. He continued to explain:
"Listen to me first. Emperor advocates <Imperial Truth> suppressing all supernatural witchcraft, right?"
"Yes, that's right. This is Imperium's current basic national policy, but what does it have to do with Emperor's Spirit."
"Oh! Look, you're in a hurry." Candice straightened his hood that was tilted in anger just now, and Hogg's voice came out like a whisper from Old God.
"<Imperial Truth> said that we should believe in science and analyze the laws of the universe realistically. However, the Rick I created is completely a product of science and technology. You can't say that I am playing with psychic witchcraft!
And even if they were born because of my Psionic Energy, my Psionic Energy is a copycat version of the power of C'tan, and they are very good at handling physics.
You said that my old father would go crazy with joy after seeing such a little thing that can do scientific research, go to the battlefield, and can also smoke, drink, and swear?"
Candice thinks what Hogg said makes sense. Although she still feels a little weird, she doesn't want to refute it anymore.
In this way, several Rick Robo-Cat and a report written by Hogg were rushed to Terra.
And a week later, Emperor, who had just come out of Webway, looked at the robot cat named 'Emperor's Spirit' selling e-cigarettes to him at his feet and roared:
"Hogg, you are itching to step on the horse! I will beat you to death."
