Warhammer: My brother is the Emperor

Said's attitude was tough, and a group of big puppets behind him raised their bolters and pointed them at the mechanics, ready to fight if they disagreed.

Before the mechanic could speak, a large number of troops armed with explosive mechas also rushed out of the factory, but the number was far less than that of Said.

They are technology hunters, the armed forces of the mechanic camp.

The two sides fell into a tense confrontation, but after a few breaths, other puppets opened the armory of Rebirth Town and found a large number of weapons and several Sentinel mechas.

In an instant, hundreds more puppets, armed with live ammunition, surrounded the factory with a roar, and the wheel-axle machine guns on the sentry mecha were aimed at the mechanics.

The mechanic was instantly at a disadvantage. Finally, he sighed and gestured to his men: "Put down your guns!"

Then he said to Said: "New conqueror, you can take over here, but please understand the consequences, we will no longer serve you!"

"Without us, you won't be able to operate the machines here, you won't be able to make weapons, and this town won't be able to protect itself!"

Said said calmly: "How do you know I can't operate machinery? Human beings have passed 30 thousand years and are still using internal combustion engines from the 2K era. They are so backward!"

The mechanic was furious: "Behind? You barbarian knows nothing! Do you think I don't want to use advanced machinery? Those hateful things can only kill us in minutes!"

"I forgive your ignorance, but please listen to my advice. There must not be another Iron Man rebellion!"

Underground in the factory, there are many production machines from the golden age, which generally use artificial intelligence. When the Iron Man rebels, these machines become scrap metal, even killing machines, and cannot be used.

Even if artificial intelligence is excluded, it is difficult for mechanics to understand the operating principles. For them, the inside of the machine is a technological black box.

The golden age was extremely dependent on AI, and even machine R\u0026D and manufacturing were done by AI. At that time, humans did not understand mechanical principles, and today’s mechanics do not understand it even less.

Mechanics need to dig deep and research for many years before they can apply a machine to production. So far, there has been little progress.

The specific manifestation is that for a bolt gun, 80% of the production process is done by slaves, resulting in extremely low efficiency. Mortal armies use flintlock guns.

Said said disdainfully: "That's because you are useless. Give me time and I will help you realize mechanized production and reduce the number of workers to one-tenth!"

The mechanic became anxious and said angrily: "Okay, if you do it, I will be your slave!"

Said took the puppet into the factory and went straight to the underground warehouse, where there were production machines from the dark technological age.

These machines have a common feature, that is, one machine can complete a large number of processes, pour the raw materials in, and the finished product comes out.

For mechanics, the inside of these machines is a technological black box, but Said is not. His long life has allowed him to accumulate enough knowledge and easily understand the principles.

He controlled the puppet and dismantled the machine. This move immediately made the mechanic look anxious:

"What are you doing?! How can a sacred object be disassembled casually! How can you study it if it's broken?"

Said rolled his eyes and said coldly: "If it is dug in my land, it belongs to me. I can do whatever I want with it!"

"You..." the mechanic was furious.

Said thought the Mechanic was quite cute, at least he wouldn't yell like the Mechanicum's bastard, "You're blaspheming the sacred machine soul!"

Soon, Said opened the machine casing and removed the production components inside. Each component corresponded to a production process.

He reassembled these parts to form a production line. Finally, with a wave of his hand, he turned on the electricity, asked workers to deliver raw materials, and let the puppets replace the AI ​​to operate the machines for production.

The raw materials pass through machines one after another, continuously melting, deforming, and cold casting... A bolt gun is finally formed, and the manpower used is less than one-tenth of that of a manual workshop.

The mechanic was shocked and lost his voice: "You... do you know how to exclude artificial intelligence and use these machines?"

Said patted the machine and smiled: "To you, this is a technological black box, but to me it is not. It is as simple and easy to understand as reading lines on the palm of your hand."

"Great Mechanical Sage, please bow to your apprentice Kaos!" The mechanic quickly knelt down and bowed loudly.

Behind him, other mechanics fell to the ground.

Said was confused: "Didn't you say you wanted to be my slave?"

The mechanic explained: "Slave is what the barbarians call them, and we mechanics call them apprentices."

Said nodded: "In other words, I am now the master of this place!"

The mechanic said respectfully: "Yes, you are the master here now. Also, do you allow me to contact my mentor and tell him about your great power?"

Said was curious: "Is there an organization behind you?"

The mechanic nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty the Great Sage, we provide technical assistance to all human forces in order to better collect resources and revive the Golden Age."

All for the rejuvenation of mankind...

Said nodded and said: "Okay, I hope to contact more mechanics to work for me. You go down and I'll take a look around here."

After Mechanic Caul left, Said began to fulfill the Emperor's instructions and went deep underground to search for the database of the Golden Age.

There are so many machines here, and the appearance of the database is the same as other machines. Without the emperor's coordinates, Said would never be able to find them in his life.

"I wonder what is in the database that makes Brother Huang so interested..." Said said to himself.

Said kept approaching the emperor's coordinates, and finally stopped in front of a machine, calling to the emperor in his heart: "Brother Huang, is this it?"

In Said's perception, the internal structure of this machine is exactly the same as other machines, and there is really nothing special about it.

The Emperor said: "Yes, activate it, there is no hateful intelligence in it."

Said was confused: "How to activate it? There is no energy here?"

The Emperor replied: "Use psionics!"

Said did as he was told, and the next moment, the machine shot out a projection that was suspended in the air. Said discovered that it was a star map, with a red dot indicating his position.

Next to the red dot, there is a green dot, which is marked on the moon of Said's planet.

Said asked: "Brother Huang, am I going to go to the moon next and find something on it? Can you tell me what it is?"

The emperor calmly replied: "It is a portal, and the other end is connected to Terra. It is the latest result of human research on the webway in the golden age. If found, it will undoubtedly accelerate the research plan."

Said was overjoyed: "Brother Huang, then I can come back to you?"

The emperor said calmly: "Let's wait until we find it!"

The psychic input stopped and the database self-destructed, but Said had already recorded the star map and obtained the positions of hundreds of nearby star systems.

When looking at the star map, he saw a familiar place name "The Bay of Damocles"!

Said instantly remembered the famous Damocles expedition in the Warhammer story, which meant that the target of the expedition, the Tau Empire, was nearby.

Said was overjoyed. Titanium King's technology is not weak. If it can be absorbed, it will undoubtedly greatly promote the rejuvenation of mankind.

Said instantly thought of his next plan, to improve technology, conquer fleets, colonize outer systems, and seize the Tau Empire in advance!

But the problem is that the Titanium Monarchs are still in a paramecium state, and their real rise will have to wait until 10,000 years later...

Popular science: The technology of the golden age relies heavily on AI, and all technological products are inseparable from AI.

Therefore, even if the Emperor is a humanoid STC, he has a complete technology tree, but most of the technologies in it involve AI. Most of the technologies in the technology tree cannot be used, and a new technology tree must be explored.

Later, cutting-edge technologies such as the Empire's star battleships and Titans were only civilian technologies in the golden age... Just like a machine gun mounted on a bicycle, the Mechanicus dug graves everywhere and regarded stc as a treasure.

But the Emperor didn't tell them the truth...

This is my personal understanding. It is just the overall situation of the empire. It is not ruled out that there are special cases.
