Van Saar's artificial intelligence didn't say much, it just opened its thin data wall.

He is very aware of his vulnerability in front of the top military AI from later generations.

There is no possibility or need to escape.

From a certain perspective, more than 80% of the first-generation colonists who survived the crash died because of the defective creations produced by STC Template.

They were supposed to have a long enough lifespan, but they died painfully under the influence of radiation.

During these thousands of years, countless descendants of colonists have also repeated this process.

When he realized this, he was able to accept everything calmly.

Iax easily erased Program, the core of Van Saar's artificial intelligence, and retrieved a large amount of data at the same time. As for the main body of the ship in the distance, it was of no value.

The wreckage of Van Saar Colonial Ship is no different from the technological garbage that can be seen everywhere around it.

In the churning sea of data, the crude shadow has disappeared, leaving only Iax standing in it, and records are being unfolded one after another.

At the end of the last data record just created, Iax saw a line of temporary annotations.

"Help me take care of them."

Its data source happens to be the Van Saar shipboard intelligence that was just deleted.

Iax casually erased this learning record about data flow applications and continued to streamline some meaningless information.

With the deconstruction of large amounts of data.

Iax also became extremely clear about the past seven thousand years of history on this Planet.

And all the technological equipment produced by the Van Saar Family on Planet experienced a brief operating pause in an instant.

According to the data records, Iax has screened out all the descendants of the Federation colonists. They have exact sources of information and verifiable identity information, and they are eligible for protection by Federation.

In the chaotic Secondary Hive, a Archaeotech Specialist is leading a group of technical hunters to look for the hidden Data Crystal.

Relying on ancient and advanced technological creations, their ability to survive in this dangerous abandoned Hive City is the highest among many forces.

However, two of them stopped moving at the same time.

The Implants in their bodies suddenly became uncontrollable, and reversely robbed the control of their bodies and began to run wildly toward the outside and soon disappeared.

Several others looked confused.

However, no matter how they shouted in the communication, there was no response from the two compatriots.

The members of the Van Saar Family who were active among Hive City also experienced abnormalities. The implanted organs in their bodies took away control of their bodies, and warning reminders popped up in their artificial eyes.

These mechanical components have been with them for a long time, storing the characteristics and habits of each of them.

Everyone watched their bodies move uncontrollably. The feeling made them want to scream in fear, but they couldn't make a sound.

A large number of the Van Saar Family members began to gather. They came from various industries and had various identities.

Van Saar Family spent a lot of energy and time to make these descendants become elites in various industries, gradually embedded in all systems of Hive City and tried to gradually erode the world.

Van Saar Family The abnormal behavior of everyone immediately attracted the prying eyes of other forces.

However, the order from Top Hive arrived at this time.

Planetary Governor Girontius·Hemal gave the order to all the families in the most serious, panicked and formal tone.

No one is allowed to engage in any dangerous behavior toward these Van Saar Family members.

At the same time, Planetary Defence Force read several signals.

An entire standard fleet of Men of Iron arrived at the outer orbit of Planet with great momentum.

An overwhelming number of airborne devices are passing through the atmosphere of Planet.

Countless Machine Body are logging in directly to Planet.

When everyone in the Van Saar Family regained control of their bodies, they didn't know what to do.

What I saw was disturbing and scary.

Several mountains of garbage outside Garbage Town have completely disappeared.

The silver metallic fluid flows everywhere on these metal mountains.

The originally dirty and messy floor has been leveled again.

Toxic wastewater is decomposed directly, and stains and soil on the ground are swallowed up.

As the silvery fluid wave recedes, the appearance becomes extremely smooth.

A large number of cold machines that have never been seen before are surrounding the surroundings, and the electronic eyes are constantly scanning everything around. The scene is frightening and unsettling.

For the ordinary Van Saar Family gang members responsible for Garbage Town, today was beyond anything they could have imagined.

They are not the descendants of the colonists, they are just peripheral gang members who have taken refuge in the Van Saar Family.

These people were not qualified to use the more precious relic weapons, and their equipment was relatively simple, but they were lucky enough to witness it all this time.

Over the course of thousands of years, the number of direct descendants of these colonists was actually very small, only a few hundred thousand.

What supports Van Saar Family is actually a large number of local people who have subsequently absorbed it.

Under the name of the huge family Van Saar, only those in key positions and important roles will be descendants of colonists.

The damage caused by radiation made it difficult for them to continue to produce healthy offspring, and the mutual contamination of the local 'Imperium people' and their genes caused these descendants to have some problems. They must rely on various technological devices produced by the STC system to ensure their own survival.

Iax Machine Body walked out of the Colonial Ship fragments that had sunk into the ground, and the synthesized mechanical sound echoed through every descendant of the colonists at the scene.

"According to the Federation regulations, today you will regain the Federation Citizens identity certification. The defective technology products on your body need to be replaced and receive correct basic medical treatment and genetic repair."

However, this caused the descendants of the colonists at the scene to fall into confusion.

"Federation?"

"Is it the Federation in our records?"

"Federation actually exists. I always thought it was a fabricated past based on historical data."

Noise exploded among the crowd.

Even Archaeotech Specialist, who is two to three hundred years old, is the same.

No one can remain absolutely calm in the face of this situation.

But soon Archaeotech Specialist walked out of the crowd.

"What do we have to pay?"

In the long time of Necromunda, these descendants of the colonists have long lost the concept of Federation.

It was just a footnote in the family history record, the damaged 'fine' defective products manufactured by STC reminding them of their glorious past.

"Pay?"

Iax fell silent for the first time.

Creator's descendant's inquiry made Men of Iron somewhat incomprehensible.

"Maybe it's your imagination and desire to explore?"

Before the disintegration of Federation, the word work had disappeared for a long time.

People pursue their own interests, light up each colony, and build the life they want. People only pay for all kinds of wonderful creations.

Men of Gold, Men of Stone and Men of Iron are responsible for transforming these ideas into real objects using technology.
