Blood Raven Reconnaissance Team Enters the Grand View Garden, Terrifying Modification Speed

Talon was a recruit who had been in service for over thirty years.

He had not participated in many campaigns, mostly small-scale reconnaissance operations.

Because he served in the Blood Raven Chapter, he understood the technology, culture, and techniques of the Imperium better than others, and sometimes even took on some maintenance work.

Therefore, when he saw them using a type of high-strength alloy to set up a research station, he was extremely surprised.

"You're using this kind of alloy to set up a research station? Isn't that too extravagant?"

"There is a city on our homeworld paved with a tertiary alloy that has an even higher strength than this."

"What a waste, such a waste! If this could be hauled back and refitted into Power Armor, it would be enough to outfit how many of us?"

The alloy used to construct the research station was even harder than the Ceramite on his own body; the level of hardness was almost comparable to his loyalty to The Emperor.

Not to mention the fact that, according to them, their homeworld had used an even higher-grade alloy to build an entire city.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Truly extravagant.

Are the people in the Far East Frontier all living this well?

Watching the soldiers coming and going with mining equipment, Talon felt as if he had discovered a new continent.

He followed behind them, pressing for answers.

"What exactly are you trying to research?"

"Reverse engineering."

"Reverse engineering? I understand that, but why don't you first appease the machine spirits, burn incense, chant hymns, and praise the Omnissiah?"

"."

"There are so many corpses here; according to regulations, they should be burned. If you come into direct contact with them, there will be problems."

"."

"Do you need my help? This thing looks quite good. I have some interesting items in my possession that I could trade with you."

"."

Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One after another, objects resembling Drop Pods plummeted from the sky.

They crashed into the ground.

Then, mechanical units equipped with rollers emerged from the pods. The machines automatically assembled themselves on the ground, seemingly beginning to splice together into some kind of giant mechanical structure.

"It looks a bit like our Drop Pods, but they aren't carrying Astartes."

"Interesting technology! How big is your ship? To carry so many machines?"

Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Drop pods continued to descend from the sky one after another.

They began to link up with one another.

The small machines, after connecting, gradually grew massive.

Before his eyes, they even began to form factory after factory.

Clang!

Clang!

Inside the factories, giant metal hammers struck iron blocks, emitting a violent roar. A massive steel mill was constructed in just a few minutes and began belching thick smoke.

"What is this? So many machines, and the goal is just to assemble a factory?"

"Another factory? What kind of technology is this? I've never seen it in the Adeptus Mechanicus. I knew those guys in the Adeptus Mechanicus must be hiding some good stuff. It's a shame we share our findings with them every time."

"."

These factories were somewhat similar to the mechanical factories of the Golden Age of the Imperium.

During the Golden Age of The Emperor, there was a technology called the STC Template. You didn't need to do anything; it could handle everything from mining to manufacturing, continuously producing all kinds of terrifying weapons without any human intervention. Even now, the STC Templates excavated by the Imperium were still tirelessly forging the super-weapons that conquered the galaxy.

It was a pity that the so-called super-weapons they were building now were merely mining vehicles from the Golden Age.

The true technology had all been lost.

Talon looked at the STC-like factory before him with some envy; it was a bit of a waste to use these things just to build factories.

If these things were transported to their mothership, they could be dropped directly next time to become combat bastions right in front of the enemy—that would be wonderful.

Because the Imperium was wary of artificial intelligence, most work had to rely on human labor. Combined with the slow travel speed of the Imperial Navy fleets, the administrative efficiency of the Imperium was abysmal.

"Captain!"

"You're back!"

Talon saw the figure of Captain Cyrus and ran over, clutching his Bolter.

In the Chapter, every warrior had forged a deep brotherhood under the endless fires of war.

Cyrus also noticed the massive steel mill that had been completed.

When he had arrived earlier, this thing hadn't been there.

It had been fully constructed in just a short while?

In the sky, drop pods continued to descend; some were only a few hundred meters away from them, while others were several kilometers away.

The sky was being paved with the tracks of research stations—they were so small that they could barely see them.

Below, factories were constantly sprouting from the ground, accompanied by explosions and bombardments.

They were transforming this world with an unimaginably savage efficiency.

They seemed to be occupying this world at an extremely rapid pace.

Their science and technology seemed tailored entirely for occupation.

Cyrus looked at Cisrain; he was becoming increasingly curious about this Cisrain who seemed to know everything.

Heavy transport vehicles in standard control mode began to automatically lay tracks.

The scientists brought by Cisrain began to monitor the construction direction of these track-laying vehicles.

"Captain, it seems that in less than half a month, they will be able to completely transform this world into an industrial bastion."

As soon as Cisrain returned, he received a large number of reports.

Commanders behind Brown were sending in battle reports one after another.

"Governor, we are currently transforming the world, but we have discovered a large number of xenos creatures along the way. They are very cunning and insidious; they ambushed our drop pods while we were building the factories, causing us to lose a tenth of the soldiers in one company."

".Why are the xenos on this world never-ending?" Cisrain frowned. "The Imperium's other two research ships are exploring in other directions and cannot return for the time being. Sending troops from the Imperium would take time."

"Governor, I beg you, don't go up this time. If something happens to you, the Chief Diplomat and the Chief Financial Minister will kill me."

"."

Hearing this, Cyrus knew it was his turn to step in.

Their soldiers were, after all, ordinary soldiers; no matter how loyal, they were still just mortals.

Some things required them, the Astartes, to resolve.

Cyrus stepped forward. "Do you need our help?"

"It seems there is no other way." Cisrain had no other options. "This should be the final mission."

Cyrus nodded.

Helping them resolve the xenos problem shouldn't be a problem.

He had observed the xenos on this world; the only ones that could truly pose a threat to them were the Chaos creatures.

As the group prepared to leave, Brown hurriedly ran to the front to stop them.

If Cyrus hadn't heard him, he likely would have stepped right on him.

"Wait, everyone, do you need to back up any data?"
