Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"What is it? Is there any specific inference?" Calvin asked politely, seemingly very interested in these technical questions.

But his real idea is how much material this thing can exchange for Mars.

Like all soldiers, pragmatism limited Calvin's focus on these devices to whether they could enhance their equipment.

And if the answer is no, then his focus is how many resources he can get from these oil guys.

But Mechanical Priest Stoyan's next words instantly broke his indifference and aroused his great attention.

"Unfortunately, it is still unclear. But from the documents that can be deciphered, we can know that this was probably the discovery and exploration of some supernatural powers by the ancestors of the Golden Age at the peak of their technology."

"Not a navigation device?" Calvin asked in surprise.

His tone was still calm, but those familiar with the original body could tell from his body posture that the original body had become serious at this time.

However, Stoyan did not notice it, and he continued to explain to the original body according to the original rhythm:

"It does have similar detection functions, but after a rough observation of its main structure, we rejected the possibility of it being used as a navigation device."

"Go on." Calvin's tone was calm, but his brain was already running at high speed.

Calvin already knew enough about how advanced the technology possessed by humans in the Golden Age was. The eventual demise of these ancestors who were famous for their technology on the eve of their ascension is also the consensus of everyone in this era.

How could such a powerful civilization be destroyed overnight?

What could make their political system collapse in an instant, and make it impossible for them to resist the force claimed to be able to compete with the Eldar at their peak?

If this question were asked by humans before the Great Crusade, they might still have questions;

But after the empire experienced the catastrophe of the Great Rebellion, the identities of the culprits hidden behind the warp were no longer a secret worth discussing.

"Chaos Gods!"

In Calvin's brain, all concepts about subspace were retrieved instantly. In the end, these words are brought together into one concept - Chaos Gods!

He believed that humans of that era relied on subspace as a tool to maintain their political system, and never really realized the threat in it.

But judging from these "relics" discovered today, humans at that time had not a simple view of subspace.

At least from the equipment in front of us, we can know that the human vision of subspace in that era was not limited to the navigator.

"Is there any more information?"

Calvin looked past the mechanical priest in front of him and towards the members of the Order of Omen who were also participating behind him.

Because their interests did not completely overlap, Calvin had reservations about Stoyan's words.

On such a critical issue, members from the Order of Omen are obviously more trustworthy.

"Yes." As expected, the members of the Bad Omen Order did not disappoint him.

The Forge Master, who belonged to the Order of Omen, faced the dissatisfied eyes of his colleagues and informed the original body of some possible details derived from the previous cleanup work.

“First, judging from its production number, it is not a mature industrial product, but should be one of the samples belonging to a certain experiment.

Second, it's not even a complete part, but a sample after it's been split. "

"But you just said it was a complete set." Calvin reacted instantly and turned his dissatisfied eyes to the mechanical priest in front of him.

The other party felt the pressure of the original body and explained to him:

“But the drawings are a complete set!

And the component units are also complete!

This means that it will still work even if parts are missing, but will only lose some of the missing functionality! "

"That means this is not a manufacturing drawing, but an assembly drawing?"

Calvin understood the difference, but his doubts were even greater.

Based on his experience, these motor oil guys only had the experience of lowering the prices on their trophies and hiding their value. What makes these motor oil guys go against their normal behavior and start to exaggerate the value of their trophies?

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

"Tell me, what do you think? One more thing, Mars, do you know what you think?"

Calvin looked condescendingly at the mechanical priest who fell into silence, and not surprisingly found that this was another typical technician's "walk alone".

"Walk."

After the suffocating silence lasted for a few seconds, the original body lost his patience and uttered a cold word, and then took the lead to walk towards the way he came from.

The two Custodes guards were not interested in the little thoughts of the Mechanicus and followed the footsteps of the original body.

"Please stay!" Mechanic Friar Stoyan shouted from behind the original body to urge him to stay, but the original body obviously did not intend to give him another chance.

"This is a key technology! It is likely to be related to mankind's exploration of subspace in the Golden Age!"

The Primarch continued to move forward, but at a slower and slower pace.

"God of All Opportunities! I know what it is!"

Stoyan shouted desperately, knowing that if he missed this time, he would never have another chance to fulfill his dream.

And with the final chips thrown out, the original body was finally moved by his words.

Bang... Bang... Bang... The footsteps of the original body sounded in front of Stoyan, and his threatening voice also appeared at the same time.

"Give you one last chance to explain your intentions. In the name of the Emperor, you better remain honest."

Calvin did not say the words "otherwise". With his current status, he did not need to use words to remind others of the cost of deceiving him.

"The Bell of Erebus..."

Stoyan slumped on the deck, and an unfamiliar term came out of his mouth.

"The Bell of Erebus, or as it is also known in your mouth - the Bell of St. Gerstard."

"Continue." Calvin's brows raised slightly, and the information about this sacred object flashed through his mind.

The Mechanic Priest was relieved after revealing the key information. He recalled his past and simply told everything he knew.

"When I was an apprentice, during an expedition with my mentor, we got some incomplete information about the golden humans.

In the decipherable portions of that document, we learn some of the secrets of humanity in the Golden Age.

At the end of the Golden Age, humanity's use of subspace had become relatively mature.

And it is in this context of mature technology that the golden humans who have reached the peak of technology have obviously discovered some unexpected threats:

In their continuous observations of the universe, they discovered that the most basic structure of physical rules is quietly changing.

Although this change is not obvious, it still has a devastating impact on human technology and the various applications relying on these technological theories.

They tried to find the cause of this change and succeeded in finding its source..."

"Warp space?"

"The highest heaven."

Two words with different pronunciations but the same meaning were spoken simultaneously by Calvin and Stowan.

After hearing Calvin's voice, the latter looked up at the original body in front of him with a wry smile.

“Yeah, that’s what they call that space.

The Bell of Erebus was their method of finding them, and the holy object known to you as the Bell of St. Gerstard was its earliest experimental sample.

Its final form..."

"Understood." Calvin stopped Stovan's intention to continue speaking, and raised his hand to isolate the space with his spiritual energy.

He turned his gaze to the Imperial Guards behind him, and in the most serious tone on the communication channel, he ordered the bridge and the two soldiers who were on the highest alert:

"In my name, the entire ship has entered silent control and the entire ship has entered level one combat readiness!

Summon a psychic choir to shield our ship!

The combat readiness duty room immediately patrols the entire ship. If there is any abnormal subspace reaction, shoot and kill!

The order is completed and takes effect immediately! "

"yes!"

Various nodes on the body of the Relentless Jihad sounded simultaneously in response to Calvin's orders.
