During the subsequent exploration, Caleb Sage's exploration fleet unearthed a batch of ancient weapons.
That is the equipment left behind by Marauder who invaded the facility, and it is a device that Mortals can use.
These weapons and equipment brought from the Federation military battleship are still in relatively intact condition after tens of thousands of years of silence.
The ancient Pulse Rifle is equipped with Smart Explosive Rounds that can lock on targets. Its size is similar to Imperium Beam Rifle, but its power is comparable to the Boltgun used by Astartes.
This weapon has almost no recoil when fired, and the locked target has almost no possibility of escaping.
The exquisite Plasma Pistol and Volkite Pistol are amazingly powerful and extremely lightweight.
The long-distance focusing Lasgun is even more powerful.
Among the fragmented remains of mechanical guards, they also found some more ancient Bolt Weapon.
These huge Boltguns are larger than those used by Astartess, made of synthetic Plasteel materials, heavy and hard.
Caleb Sage took several intact ancient Bolter for a power test, and the result was that it easily penetrated the Ceramite armor. Its power was much greater than the Heavy Bolter used by the Astartess.
In addition, there are individual soldiers Melta Assault Cannon that can be carried around. Cryo Grenade, Miniature Singularity Grenade, Temporal Stasis Bomb and other items stored in boxes are even more amazing.
After carefully examining the abandoned ruins, the exploration team tried to deduce what happened here.
Those Machine Body didn't seem to take anything with them when they left.
The shattered remains of the mechanical guards had obviously been destroyed for a long time.
People's thinking is always more imaginative than Men of Iron. Everyone in the exploration team quickly came up with a guess that was close to the truth.
But looking at these astonishingly powerful weapons, they had some doubts as to why the invaders failed to leave in the end.
However, someone soon solved the mystery. Explorator Priest, one of the first four Tech-Priest, stood next to a pile of twisted probes. He was holding Laser Cutter but was unable to pick out a piece of metal material from the wall.
Obviously, these Alloy walls are a valuable asset to Imperium.
After realizing this, the exploration fleet began to try to pack up the entire ruins.
As the first exploration team discovered this precious historical treasure, Iax soon discovered that the fleet he sent out was always followed by Adeptus Mechanicus's ships.
These exploration fleets followed Mechanicus Fleet of Men of Iron.
Whenever Men of Iron arrives at an undeveloped Planet, they will stop in orbit and wait.
High-power orbital scanning has been tracking the actions of the "archaeological" team.
When Men of Iron's fleet leaves, these Red-robess will immediately rush to the place where Men of Iron has just arrived to conduct a search.
This behavior did allow many Adeptus Mechanicus's Sage to obtain some ancient technological artifacts.
But there are also many Sage that get nothing.
Over such a long period of time, some facilities have long been missing, and perhaps these facilities have been destroyed long ago.
The unusual movements of Men of Iron and Adeptus Mechanicus naturally attracted the attention of other departments of Imperium.
When he learned that Men of Iron was looking for and visiting ancient human ruins, Guilliman immediately jumped up from his office.
After completing the communication with Iax, Space Marine all over Milky Way also joined in. The order they received was very clear. After Men of Iron left Planet, they arrived at the place where the other party had been, and tried their best to explore and recover useful technological heritage to avoid missing some valuable technologies.
Under normal circumstances, the Federation heritage cannot be desecrated.
But in fact, these ancient facilities have almost lost their value.
Hundreds of research institutions potentially involved in Temporal Technology were actually searched in just a few weeks.
The results were disastrous, as all facilities were either severely damaged or looted.
None of these cutting-edge Research Centers have survived.
Iax knows very well that the truly cutting-edge Research Center will not be marked on Star Map at all.
Just like Energy Research Institute that sank deep into Warp.
It's just that those secretive cutting-edge research institutions have long been impossible to find. Even if we go back to that era, not many people may know their location.
Of course, some research institutions will also use fake code names to study completely unrelated things.
For this reason, Iax chose to start searching and visiting two million Federation official research institutions throughout Milky Way according to Old Star Map.
These large and small research facilities cover the entire Milky Way and involve all scientific and technological projects.
According to Old Star Map, some research institutions occupy the entire Star System, while some research institutions only occupy a corner of Planet.
During the operation, Iax also wiped out thousands of Xenos civilizations, some of which had just begun to develop metal equipment, while others had not yet stepped out of Planet.
These fragile civilizations were completely wiped out without exception under the iron heel of Men of Iron.
It was this huge exploration that gave Iax a new understanding of the disaster of Old Era.
Almost all of these research facilities have suffered devastating disasters.
Most of the research facilities involving weapons and cutting-edge technology were destroyed within five to ten years after the disintegration of Federation.
Various other research institutes were gradually damaged over the next two to three thousand years.
Compared with the once wise Creator, those suspected "successors" began to become brutal and primitive.
They dismantle technological equipment just to make crude weapons to attack each other.
Treasures of knowledge and technology were destroyed and turned into debris.
What made Iax even more disappointed were the 'Imperium people' who followed.
They just look for its unburnt residue in the ashes of technology and try to ignite it further.
Whether it's Adeptus Mechanicus's exploration team or each Space Marine Chapter, they only have those crude 'weapons' in their eyes.
The ignorant Tech-Priest people cheered for joy while holding crude and dangerous inferior products, ignorantly praising the inexplicable gods.
Compared to most Adeptus Mechanicus members, Belisarius Cawl behaved slightly differently. He tried to find clues among the ashes of technology and tried to bring back the glory of the old Creator.
Iax hopes that they can bloom new flowers among the embers and produce new knowledge.
Instead of stumbling on the old road.
Men of Iron understands the value of creativity better than anyone else.
While many Imperium forces were busy following Men of Iron and Milky Way 'picking up rubbish', Jaghatai Khan embarked on a journey with the fleet that had been transformed by Men of Iron and the terrifying weapons presented as gifts.
Men of Iron doesn't like the garbage that White Scars doesn't like either. The equipment in their hands is much more valuable than the garbage in the ruins.
