Although Men of Iron was not disappointed with this concept, as each exploration team was gradually recovered, Iax had to start trying some other methods to search for new technologies. Data and information would further promote the transformation of Iax and the entire Men of Iron army.
Just like Lucius's Adeptus Mechanicus has successfully developed a new version of the once imperfect Warp Teleportation Technology.
Iax chose to shift the exploration process from those ancient technological research facilities to more Imperial World.
Imperial Inquisition's caution against Adeptus Mechanicus made Iax quickly find a new target among the accessible information.
Those worlds that are judged to have possible existence of technology Heretic or dangerous corrupted technology due to internal struggles within Adeptus Mechanicus.
Whenever Adeptus Mechanicus determines that a world may have technological Heretic behavior or possess some dangerous technology, Inquisition will soon arrange for agents to arrive at these worlds first to obtain information in advance.
Imperium needs to confirm the specific status of the local government and Planetary Governor first.
Whether Adeptus Mechanicus determines that the other party is technical Heretic has nothing to do with the operation of Imperium.
As long as the other party pays Tithe to Imperium normally and follows the basic laws of Imperium, then the other party is not considered a betrayal and will not be punished by Imperium.
As for whether Adeptus Mechanicus will be punished locally, that is an internal matter for those Tech-priest.
No matter how Adeptus Mechanicus acts, as long as the world can complete its mission, Imperium will not interfere.
If Adeptus Mechanicus destroys a world by force for some reason, then Imperium will naturally ask Adeptus Mechanicus for the original taxes of this world.
After getting to know Priest and Sage of Adeptus Mechanicus, Iax knew very well that Adeptus Mechanicus's own Inquisition was actually a place to eliminate dissidents and carry out power struggles.
Some of the technologies Heretic they judged are indeed prohibited Imperium smart technologies or some dangerous Xenos technologies.
But most of them are some newly developed technologies or technologies that Mars has never owned. Those so-called Sage use this method to force the other party to hand over precious technical knowledge or simply use the name Heretic to rob them by force.
Even Archmagos Belisarius Cawl and some people inside Adeptus Mechanicus think that he is an extremely dangerous technical Heretic. So much so that the Soul School led by Cawl is viewed with a strange eye by the entire Mars Adeptus Mechanicus.
It's just that Cawl's power is indeed huge, coupled with Imperial Regent's trust in him, and the extremely close relationship between the two.
Even Mars, Hidden Conclaves and Fabricator-General of Mars are unable to defeat each other.
Iax carefully screened the information, and then several extremely special worlds were listed separately.
These worlds have all been subjected to technological exploration by Adeptus Mechanicus, but in the end these worlds were safe and sound.
Iax does not believe that these greedy Adeptus Mechanicus members will misjudge that a world contains certain technical secrets, but the other party can escape Adeptus Mechanicus's plunder.
Adeptus Mechanicus is undoubtedly greedy for technology. It is obvious that there is something abnormal in these worlds being safe and sound.
Men of Iron urgently needs more technological innovation to increase its capital against Necrons or other enemies in the future.
Even a little bit of technological change and new technology is of great significance to Men of Iron.
Unlike Imperium, Men of Iron's technology popularization speed is unimaginable by Imperium. As long as there is a little bit of useful new technology, even just an advanced design of a heat sink will immediately affect all units.
The pedantic and slow Imperium is completely different.
Until today.
089. M42
Less than a hundred years have passed since Iax was accidentally activated to possess a mechanical army capable of destroying the entire Imperium. Most of this time was lost due to the abnormal passage of Warp's voyage.
This time is almost a short moment that can be ignored in the history of Imperium.
However, more things have happened in these one hundred years than in the past three or four thousand years.
Even so, from the recovery of Guilliman to the present, in addition to the specifically reserved Forge World among Milky Way, there are still some Forge World that have not received new technical data. The Power Armour in production is still the old model MKVIII type rather than the newly developed Mark X of Cawl.
After completing the exploration of the last batch of Federation scientific research institutions, Iax set its sights on the new list.
The first world is a special world located in Segmentum Solar - Necromunda
Although this is not a Forge World belonging to a certain branch of Adeptus Mechanicus, in the records of Inquisition, people in this world were once judged by Adeptus Mechanicus as technical Heretic.
Later, after the investigation team visited and reviewed, the technical mark Heretic was erased.
According to the records of Inquisition, it seems that only the leader Tech-Priest is left in the returned investigation team, while the other agents of Adeptus Mechanicus and Rust Alpha have lost their traces.
According to the sharable intelligence of Inquisition, Iax soon became full of expectations for this world.
According to the existing archival records, the history of Necromunda can be traced back to the M25 period.
This is a Hive World that focuses on mining and manufacturing. Its main industrial products are ammunition and various light weapons.
When the power of Imperium arrived in this world, it was ruled by a special organization called Araneus Continuity (Araneus Continuity).
Iax searched for Database. This organization did not exist in Federation's information. Obviously, this organization was gradually established after the collapse of Federation.
This ruling organization is composed of a group of Techno-nobility (Techno-nobility), and eventually established a small human country.
Finally, when Imperial Fists descended on the land of Planet, the world quickly showed its loyalty to Imperium.
Necromunda remains unchanged to this day. The planet is covered with mines, factories, processing plants and refineries, and raw materials are obtained from other planets for processing.
No natural environment has survived industrialization; towering mountains have been reduced to rubble, their rich content Minerals extracted, and the remaining residue used as building materials.
The former ocean has turned into a huge chemical waste pool, and highly toxic substances are constantly eroding everything on this Planet in the atmospheric circulation.
As for all native life on the planet, they were all extinct a long time ago.
Even the locals don't know what Necromunda looked like before it was industrialized.
Iax quickly started his next plan.
A Men of Iron standard fleet at the junction of Segmentum Solar and Segmentum Pacificus soon separated a Transport Ship and went to the Industrial World Necromunda located southeast of Star Region.
However, when Transport Ship relied on the special passcode given to Men of Iron by Departmento Munitorum to directly pass through the layers of defense platforms around Planet and arrive at Planet in low-Earth orbit, a weak and weird Quantum Signal was immediately recognized by the ship.
