This STC production system is not currently producing any items, but its damaged circulation components are constantly releasing ultra-high-intensity radiation through some key pipelines.
The intensity of radiation here can even turn a piece of meat into a puddle of filthy liquid immediately.
All cells will be killed instantly and then become riddled with radioactive substances.
Iax looked at this set of ancient creations carefully.
There are densely packed cables underneath the entire module.
The STC production system has an adaptive energy component. This component allows the device to be deployed anywhere and adapt itself to surrounding energy devices.
According to the difference in energy intensity of the energy supply facilities, the production system will automatically adjust the energy lines and extraction devices it needs to arrange.
The energy generated by the entire Hive Settlement is indeed amazing, but its supply range is also extremely large.
The amount of energy required by the STC production system is staggering.
According to Colonial Ship's records, while the production system components are still installed in the ship, the ship's damaged energy system can easily be powered by two main energy pipelines alone.
But what appears in front of Iax now is an energy pipeline that is like a tangle of tree roots.
The large-scale energy supply intensity of Hive City is far beyond what the independent energy supply pipeline of Colonial Ship can compare with. This results in the entire production system arranging thousands of cables to connect to the surrounding energy pipelines and automatically increase the energy intensity when adapting to energy.
Several Servitor came out from the Machine Body that arrived with Iax.
Under normal circumstances, this ancient STC production system needs to be shut down through its self-checking system and control components, and then cut off energy for maintenance.
However, this ancient set of production components has been damaged, and the missing parts are even the critical self-test modules and safety systems.
Another way is to cut off the energy supply terminal.
STC production components that lack energy will retry to adapt energy. As long as a suitable energy supply component cannot be found, the system will be forced to enter Suspended Animation.
However, it is impossible to close Hive City and Plasma Reactor.
In that era when Men of Iron was not yet born, this was indeed a problem, but fortunately, this was not a big problem for Men of Iron.
Servitor found several etching gaps with missing metal on the damaged gap, then changed the structure of his hand and connected himself to the damaged component.
This fixed wire port etched on the shielding structure can avoid any accidents caused by loose cables to the greatest extent.
However, the collision caused physical damage to the entire production system.
Iax quickly downloaded all the STC module data and correctly closed this set of ancient STC production components for the first time.
The STC production system, which had released tens of thousands of years of radiation, stopped for the first time.
The terrifying high temperature caused by radioactive Ray began to drop rapidly under the cooling system built by the Van Saar Family for Light Chamber.
With the release of Nano-Swarm, the entire production system was wrapped in a little silver light.
Defects and damage in the production system are like biological wounds, which begin to 'heal' at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Metal breaks are repaired and defects are filled.
Iax, on the other hand, stood where he was and began to analyze the data he had just downloaded.
These ancient STC Template data are no longer original data over the long years, and there are many new things in them.
At this moment Iax made a discovery for the first time.
These descendants of colonists are different from those Tech-Priest of Adeptus Mechanicus, or even Cawl.
They are not superstitious, nor do they ignorantly worship ancient technological creations.
Not to mention that these technological products are regarded as creations of gods and knowledge is regarded as a gift.
They know very well that technology comes from technological development and research.
Throughout the long years they never gave up.
They downloaded the original template from the system. In order to avoid radiation damage from the production system, they found a way to imitate some manufacturing factories to produce STC Template creations by themselves.
Although its efficiency is not as high as this ancient system, it is indeed an innovation.
At the same time, in order to solve the radiation leakage problem caused by these defective original templates, they made a lot of improvements and re-introduced the improved templates into the STC system.
So much so that when Iax is downloaded, there are often dozens of versions of modifications under each incomplete equipment item.
From the changes in these modifications, we can see their progress.
The colonists gradually reduced the radiation damage caused by these incomplete STC creations, starting from the most basic modification of the energy line direction, to expanding new components and redesigning some devices.
At the same time, they also have many new ideas.
For example, the Gravitational Pull weapon in Colonial Tool Kit is redesigned into Grav-gun, multiple single weapons are combined and designed and energy lines are remade into composite weapons, etc.
Iax quickly analyzed all the data.
Most of these technical information do not mean much to Men of Iron.
The scientific and technological reserves of the Van Saar Family are indeed ahead of Imperium, not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also the manufacturing process and assembly technology are much more advanced than Imperium.
But for Iax, many designs appear very old and inefficient, although this is already a quite amazing improvement compared to the original old material.
After all, they had been lost in Warp for a long time. Even though the various data stored in Database of Iax were decades different from the time before Federation was disintegrated, what Van Saar Family had was equivalent to being nearly two thousand years ahead.
In that Dark Age of Technology, technology will advance every three to five years, and large-scale technological innovations will occur in more than ten years.
The technological achievements produced by the descendants of these colonists in the past nearly 10,000 years are quite limited.
But this information is not without merit.
In some components, Iax found some optimized designs with higher performance, and further conducted data simulation to further refine and deduce this "crude" design.
After further deducing the improvement directions envisioned by these colonists to the extreme, Iax quickly obtained some brand-new scientific and technological information.
For example, part of the design of the Magna Needle-Type MK X weapon, which is a composite of Laser and Melta, was re-optimized and integrated into Focused Laser Emitter to create Composite Meltdown Weapon.
Utilizing the high energy supply characteristics of Men of Iron itself, this Composite Meltdown Weapon has the power comparable to the Melta weapon, and can carry out uninterrupted continuous attacks like the Melta weapon.
Perhaps few people know that the essence of the Melta weapon is actually very close to the thermal Ray Welding Torch. However, due to the high energy intensity of its instantaneous burst, the shooting distance is relatively short, and long-term shooting is rarely carried out.
The redesigned Melt Weapon by Iax is much more powerful than the Meltagun that is assembled on a large scale like Imperium, but it has a weapon that is comparable to Astartes With the range of Bolt Rifle, this slightly weird Composite Meltdown Weapon with four ring-shaped unique heat dissipation devices on the top was installed on the basic Sentinel on a large scale to replace the original Neutron Beam Emitter.
Some melee weapons can also use these new components.
For example, Meltdown Hammer with Melta bombardment mode.
The grip of this melee weapon has a series of unique heat dissipation structures that look like decorations. The grip of Warhammer has a one-way locked energy input port. The weapon itself does not have an independent energy source to ensure strength.
Energy supply is provided by Machine Body or Power Armour.
This kind of Warhammer and Melta are passive firing, and the impact switch is on the striking surface of the hammer head.
When the safety is removed, you only need to swing the hammer head hard towards the enemy.
The energy will turn into Melta Ray and burst out directly from the impact surface.
Different from weapons originally used for long-range attacks, this melee-equipped Melta is even more powerful. During the test, it was able to easily create a penetrating wound on the two-meter-thick Ceramite board, and the splashing metal molten metal could be sprayed out more than ten meters away.
Even some Titans of Imperiums can be knocked off their support structures with one blow.
However, this Melta release mode that pursues ultimate power results in its maximum power range being only thirty centimeters at most.
If it is controlled by Machine Body or Power Armour with intelligent assistance, it can also directly fire the weapon to temporarily serve as a long-range attack method. The exhausted Melta Ray may still have a good killing effect on light units.
The attack surface of Warhammer is a tripod-shaped leg design with a central hollow and four protruding corners. The center of the hammer head has a unique embedded design and is extremely strong.
The entire weapon is filled with unique beauty.
