Chapter 277 Blue Mountains
The unremitting pursuit of knowledge is the only way we can seek liberation, but absolute conceit about knowledge is nothing but arrogant wishful thinking.
——Article 10 of the Mechanicum Regulations
The most important discovery during the conversation between Fu Qinghai and Master Buck was not the STC that converted beam weapons, but that he suddenly discovered that Master Buck, like Master Quinto, was also a technical priest of the Foreign Affairs Sect.
It feels like a coincidence, but if you think about it carefully, how could a forge master of the master level of the forge come to Phaeton, a remote advance base on the border, when he is not in charge of casting temples and furnace crucibles on Mars?
Whether it is his own interest in alien technology or the rejection of him by the traditional conservative faction of Mars, I am afraid only Master Buck himself knows.
Once it is determined that Master Buck is not the kind of technical priest who is conservative and stubborn and adheres to his creed, many tasks in the Phaeton Forging World will be easier to carry out, without having to bother to explain the sources of these technologies from different reincarnation worlds.
Everyone understands the principle of learning skills from barbarians to control barbarians. Why is the Cult of Mechanicus so repulsive to alien technology, and even lists it as two major taboos along with artificial intelligence, a red line that cannot be crossed, except for its own conservative and superstitious subjective factors. In fact, there are also some objective factors.
Like artificial intelligence, alien technology has also brought great harm to mankind, because many alien races do not reject belief in the Four Gods of Chaos. They openly and openly believe in chaos as a whole, so their technological creations often have chaos hidden in them. The backdoors, loopholes and certain tricks left by the gods secretly. If the Mechanicus studies these alien technologies at will, once some kind of chaotic waste code or electronic demon is triggered, the entire forging world will be destroyed in a single moment of carelessness.
Not to mention anything else, the stabbing sword that led to the fall of Fulgrim and the enemy blade that led to the Warmaster's fall are strictly speaking alien technological creations, and they are named artifacts in Warhammer 40K.
But Fu Qinghai has never worried about these hidden dangers. Even if the technology he brought from other reincarnation worlds is "alien technology", it is an alien race in other universes and has nothing to do with the Four Gods of Chaos. There is absolutely no chaos. The potential risk of spreading bad codes or being infected with electronic demons.
On the other hand, the Mechanicus claims that it prohibits the research of alien technology, but it is actually very hypocritical. Within the Mechanicus, there is a title called "Necromancer" similar to "Biological Sage" and "Master of the Forge". Refers to those Tech-priests who specialize in Necron technology and are quite successful.
Phaeton Forge World has not yet begun to study the alien technology in Warhammer 40K, but it will definitely be studied in the future, so the attitude of Master Buck is very important. Master Quinto has always been a deeply hidden alien sect, but if Master Buck is a conservative who extremely rejects alien technology, so Fu Qinghai has to find an opportunity and reason to kill him.
When it comes to alien technology, and even the direction in which Phaeton Forge World will research alien technology in the future, Fu Qinghai has thought about it in advance. There are only two research targets: Necrons and the Tau Empire.
The technology of these two forces is very materialistic and has nothing to do with psychic magic or anything like that.
The Necrons are a purely materialistic camp in the Warhammer 40K universe. They are the only race that is completely decoupled from the subspace. They don't even have souls.
As for the Tau Empire, due to their racial talents, ordinary humans are at the lowest level (π/ρ) in the masculine psychic level. However, the Tau's response to psychic energy is slower than that of ordinary humans. They belong to the third level in the feminine psionic scale. Level 1 (σ/τ), naturally psychically inert, but not to the extent of being completely isolated from psychic energy like the untouchable.
One thing to say is that the Tau's innate conditions are indeed very poor. Even if their bodies are weak and not as good as ordinary humans, they are not only unable to use spiritual energy, but will also be harmed by spiritual energy.
Because Fu Qinghai has no psychic talent, his most powerful plug-in is called "Tony Stark Electronic Soul Backup" instead of "a dark personality of Dr. Strange", so he is not interested in studying the Eldar and Eldar. Ork technology is completely uninteresting.
The technological creations of the orcs rely on the waaagh force field to maintain, while the Eldar are more thorough. The Eldar can be said to be the opposite of the Necron in this regard. All their technological creations are closely related to spiritual energy, and the spiritual bones are Ark Spirits. The basic materials of the clan, ranging from armor to battleships, are all made of spiritual bones.
Many of the technologies of the Human Empire are actually related to psychic energy: void shield, teleportation technology, astrological communication, star torch navigation, subspace engine...
The Tau Empire once captured a Lunar-class cruiser. Aether led the scientists of the territorial clan to disassemble the subspace engine and study it, and concluded that it was a bunch of inexplicable witchcraft devices.
The Silent King Szarak once said of the Emperor - "the bacon of sorcery", which may be referring to the transaction of twenty Primarchs between the Emperor and the Four Gods of Chaos.
But the human empire can afford the price of complete decoupling from the subspace. At worst, the above-mentioned technologies will completely fail.
The Imperial Truth is an attempt by the Emperor to reduce the influence of Chaos. The Imperial Truth tells people that there are no strange powers, chaos, gods and magic and witchcraft in the universe - this is of course a complete lie, but it can indeed reduce the influence of the Four Gods of Chaos to a certain extent. Subspace It is a collection of thoughts and concepts. Perhaps if people no longer believe in their existence, their power will be weakened.
But the Eldar cannot. This race is deeply bound to spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is an important part of their lives. The Eldar can never be separated from spiritual energy. They are both controlled by and dependent on the subspace.
Therefore, Fu Qinghai believes that the Eldar are doomed to decline and will not have a future, and it will be difficult for Efreni and her Death Army to lead the Eldar to a new future.
Everything has pros and cons. Although complete decoupling from subspace can reduce the impact of chaos on itself, it also has many shortcomings. For example, the Necrons are known as the "technological ceiling of Warhammer 40K" and do not have faster-than-light navigation technology.
The inertialess engine is the fastest of all sub-light navigation technologies, but it still does not exceed the speed of light. If the C'tan Burner Nia De La Zaza hadn't invented the Tombstone Gate, the Necrons could briefly hijack the ancients. The webway created by the Saint is used for super-light travel, otherwise even the human empire can laugh at the Necron in terms of super-light travel.
Sitting in the captain's room, Qingshan Khan commented on the many forces in the Warhammer 40K universe with a very high attitude, and finally wrote down two core keys for future research on alien technology in the supplementary memo of the "First Five-Year Plan" word:
Dig a grave and find titanium.
…
The Tau Empire has not yet been born. The Fire Caste may be just a group of nomads who are still fishing and hunting. The Earth Clan may be just a group of cavemen hiding in caves and pinching mud. The Air Clan and Water Clan don't know where to huddle to make a living. The Ether Clan may be just a group of nomads who are still fishing and hunting. The magic stick didn't show up either, so even finding the planet of origin would be of no use.
The Necrons happen to have a soft target - the tomb world on a wild alien planet.
It's a pity that the technological generation gap between necromancy technology and human technology is too big to understand at all. Perhaps the key to cracking the code of necromancy technology lies in... the ununlocked mysterious knowledge that the Burner forcibly injected into Fu Qinghai's mind. ?
But the Star God Fragment is not a soft persimmon.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
Those things are too far away.
And the top priority now is...
Big hunt!
Fu Qinghai stood in the weapons arsenal of the Su Zheng and began to take stock of the skills he currently mastered and the equipment he owned.
Among all the weapon technologies from the Iron Man Mark series of powered armors, the one that Fu Qinghai has used the most is the arc pulse cannon, which belongs to the category of laser weapons.
Fu Qinghai will never give up laser weapons.
Don't look at the Imperial Guard's flashlights that scratch the Space Marines. That's because ceramite can resist lasers, and the battery pack power of ordinary laser guns is too small.
This is true of laser weapons, whose power increases with size and caliber. The elite of the Imperial Guard, graduates of the Tadashi Academy - the Storm Troopers. The weapon they use - the Hell Gun, has a very resounding name. It is still a laser gun. The gun body is connected to a huge battery backpack on the back through a pipeline. The power of the hell gun is far greater than that of the laser gun.
The Leman Russ tank's frontal secondary weapon laser cannon can also penetrate powered armor.
The light spears on the battleship are also laser weapons. They can penetrate even adamantine, not to mention mere ceramite.
Fu Qinghai usually doesn't use the arc pulse cannon very much, because he is rather insidious and likes to use this concealed laser weapon as a surprise and devious method.
The weapon most commonly used by Iron Man is this arc pulse cannon that fires a thick golden-white laser. It has considerable power despite its small size, and was retained by Fu Qinghai.
Iron Man also used a cutting ray that fired a dark red thin-line laser, which was exactly the same as the laser ray in the Resident Evil movie. It was too weak and was abandoned by Fu Qinghai.
The way to increase the power of weapons in Warhammer 40K is the same as the process from laser gun to hell gun to laser cannon. It is very simple and crude-increase! increase!
If the power of a single ordinary explosive bomb is not enough, the caliber is increased to become a heavy explosive bomb. If the firepower density of ordinary explosive bombs is not enough, two shots are combined in parallel to become a storm bomb.
Although simple and crude, it is undeniable that this method contains an intoxicating aesthetic of violence.
Large-caliber doctrine, multi-turret cult...
Fu Qinghai's idea of adding a pulse firing method to the bolt gun is not so violent aesthetically.
Fu Qinghai looked at the various imperial weapons and expensive materials in the arsenal, and his mind started to twist.
…
One month later.
Fu Qinghai raised his hand and stroked a brand new set of powered armor that stood quietly in front of him. It had a huge body and thick limbs, wide shoulder armor that was as high as the top of the helmet, and almost integrated thick armor. Compared with traditional power armor, the waist and joints have fewer exposed weak parts.
Tactical Dreadnought Armor, or Terminator Armor for short.
First, overhead is a Cyclone missile launcher, consisting of two cubic twin missile compartments with a sensor and sight array installed in the middle.
Then, there is a thick conversion beam cannon on the left shoulder armor, and a heavy plasma cannon on the right shoulder armor. Both of these sizable weapons exist in the form of shoulder cannons. Predators all use shoulder cannons, so how could a majestic Space Marine not have shoulder cannons?
Finally, the left-hand weapon is a belt-fed heavy explosive bomb, and the right-hand weapon is a parallel double-barreled melta gun.
This is a new set of powered armor that Fu Qinghai used during this period of time to create based on the design of the Iron Cavalry Terminator. It is his first set of Terminator armor.
Name: Cyan Mountain Heavy Power Armor.
Tony Stark in the MCU once launched a "Family Reunion" plan to create Mark series power armor with many special functions and models.
Fu Qinghai did not plan to take the same route at first, because it was very troublesome to switch armors frequently, and it was not cost-effective to assimilate multiple sets of armors, so he integrated most of the small functions of the Mark series into one, which is now the Qingzhi Shell powered armor.
But when it comes to the tactical fearless armor, there is finally a fork in the road with different functional positions.
Defense and speed are incompatible.
Firepower and maneuverability cannot have both.
Because of the powerful power supply of the Nyadrazaza reactor, the shell of the entire armor is no longer a triple composite armor, but directly uses adamantine homogeneous armor, which is heavier but stronger.
A major flaw of the Iron Cavalry Terminator is that the helmet is almost wrapped in the armor, and the field of vision is very limited. Fu Qinghai's solution is to have three reconnaissance servo skulls floating around to provide field of view compensation.
At the same time, due to the huge ammunition consumption of heavy explosive bombs and melta guns, Fu Qinghai will be accompanied by two heavily equipped servitors when traveling, carrying huge ammunition boxes and promethium boxes to replenish ammunition for Fu Qinghai at any time.
"It would be great if there was some kind of space technology that could connect to a remote ammunition supply station..."
Fu Qinghai looked at the huge Terminator armor, which was a head taller than the Blue Shell, and murmured to himself.
Most other terminators use melee weapons, but Fu Qinghai's understanding of terminators is different from others. In his understanding of melee combat, strength and agility must be balanced. Terminators are powerful but slow. Powered armor should not be used for melee combat.
It should be a long-range fire tank.
Ultimate, violent long-range firepower output, this is the positioning of the Cyan Mountain Power Armor.
It can be regarded as a derivative model of the Blue Shell Power Armor.
Fu Qinghai took off the Blue Shell Power Armor, wore a black vibranium-woven electronic muscle fiber suit, and walked into the Cyan Mountain Heavy Power Armor with an open chest.
The vibranium lining involves rare materials, so of course it will continue to be used, and there is no way to create another one.
After feeling the unique feeling of being wrapped in the Terminator armor, Fu Qinghai was preparing to activate the servo skull and reinstall the servitor in sequence for a practical drill.
The hatch slid open and Camille walked in and said:
"Qingshan, all the disabilities and hidden wounds on Latani Kalamanda have been completely healed by me. He wants to see you."
"oh?"
Fu Qinghai turned his head in his armor.
"Did he say anything?"
Camille said:
"He said he had important information to share with you."

Thank you, Life 586, Wind and Rain Qingyin, vertigo111, Arctic Monster, Butterfly True Colors, Skin is My Belief, and thanks from several book friends.
I forgot to mention that Mara, the fifth evil god, has completely lost his book due to copyright issues caused by the departure of the GW screenwriter and will not appear again. And "if the human empire is destroyed, the emperor will become the fifth evil god" is just the nonsense of fans. , and it is not an official setting. Of course, this possibility is not ruled out in my book.
