Three Terran months later.
The battlefield cleanup of 106 is still going on. Because of the war, large areas of black stone have been exposed on the ground, and the artillery fire in the war has crushed them into fragments suitable for mining and transportation.
The pitch-black black stone passes through the mining line of Graeae, then through the warp channel, and is flowing continuously to the star ring of Barbarus.
In the warehouse where Barbarus stored black stone ore, Jin stood there, watching his "colleagues" from another world who were responsible for the storage of black stone.
These foundries are not like Jin's previous colleagues on Mars. The foundries working under the sages would generally try their best to reduce their losses in the work, but these Graeae foundries are different. They are doing this work with a pious attitude
Jin felt a little confused, but he seemed to know why this happened. The mysterious words of Sage Kirkland were still echoing in his ears.
This virus file named "KKL" has occupied two of Jin's four logic engines, which makes Jin feel that his thinking has slowed down significantly.
But unfortunately, the virus file could not be killed, and after occupying his two logic engines, it had no further plans. Jin was not sure whether it was Kirkland or just represented an extension of his calculation formula.
But it doesn't matter. King doesn't care whether Kirkland lives or dies, nor does he worry about a series of accompanying philosophical issues.
After receiving Hades's Black Stone Obelisk experiment report, Kirkland became much more honest. Jin could only feel that his logic engine was full of power, and Kirkland was no longer annoyed with him.
Maybe Kirkland doesn't have any more computing power to bother people.
"Good morning, Kim!"
A familiar voice sounded, and Hades, who had finally signed a subsidiary treaty with the Forge World of Graeae, walked in from the door.
King Kong is ready to say hello—
"Hey! Little Herrera, get out of here!"
Ignoring him, Hades hurried over to a pile of ore and pulled out a vague human figure from it.
Little Herrera made a face, muttered "OK, OK", then broke free and ran away.
"Brother Hades hasn't come to play with us for a long time!"
Before Hades could refute, the little ghost ran away with a sizzle.
Hades stared helplessly at the direction where little Herrera ran away. As an untouchable, this little guy's ability to hide was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that no one could see little Herrera except himself. Just when he entered the door, he saw little Herrera playing with stones there.
By the way, why hasn’t the black ship of the Sister of Silence arrived yet? It’s too inefficient. Bad review!
But what Hades didn't know was that the black ship was coming soon, but the premise for the black ship to come was that he could let the black ship bring back some other good things.
Hades turned his head, ready to chat with Jin—
"Praise Om Messiah!"
"Sir, are you here to inspect your devout followers?!"
Under his helmet, Hades froze visibly, and the bad memories of dealing with the Sage of Graeae for many days came to his mind.
NOOOOO!
Jin looked cautiously at Hades, who was obviously in a bad mood. The Death Shroud had just carried Jin away from the fanatical siege of the Graeae casters.
Although Hades was more than twice as tall as Jin, Jin still felt that the way he was carried out was extremely stupid. And those obviously crazy Graeae casters actually made envious noises towards him
Is there something wrong with you
Jin thought, while trying his best to raise his middle finger to these Graeae casters.
Hades sighed. The speed of delivery of these black stones was obviously much faster than he expected. But it was obvious that there was a reason for such high efficiency.
Hades smiled bitterly.
The war in 106 has ended. After secretly hiding a lot of individual weapons of the Necromancers, the main fleet of the Death Guard began to return.
What? You said the Death Guard's weapons warehouse glowed green in the middle of the night? Oh, our Death Guard's paint is green, so of course it's normal for it to glow green.
In order to transport the vast quantities of supplies from the Graae, the Death Guard's main fleet currently shuttles between the Forge World of Graae and Barbarus.
Hades returned to Barbarus. With the support of huge black stone deposits, he could further verify his conjecture.
The materials and equipment requested from the Graeae Forge World also began to be transported in large quantities. Above the landmark of Graeae, the Crown of Industry roared day and night, providing materials for the construction of Barbarus and Galaspa.
A semi-finished cast satellite frame also began to hover over Barbarus. This satellite echoed the huge Barbarus star ring and formed the cornerstone of carrying the main functions of Barbarus in the future.
Hades had some ideas about this half-finished satellite, but before that, he had to find an assistant.
Hades looked at Jin in front of him and waved his hand in front of Jin.
"gold?"
"What is it, my Lord?"
"Your reflexes have slowed down."
Hades said firmly,
"That's because—"
"Praise Om Messiah!"
There was a sudden sound of an explosion of electricity, and the sound of the gold exploding obviously startled both of them at the same time.
"My Lord, I'm still alive!"
A cheerful little tune rang out from Jin's speakers, and Jin made an angry face in disgust.
"My Lord, I have been infected with the virus. You don't have to—"
"Praise Om Messiah, it's great to be alive! Give me a familiar hug! Lord Hades!"
We have never hugged each other in a familiar way.
Hades watched with a mixture of laughter and tears as Jin started to fight with his left and right hands. Hearing the familiar sound, Hades realized something. Could this be the backup of Sage Kirkland's consciousness in Jin
In the research of the Mechanicus, there are indeed related studies on consciousness and soul backup. The most famous scientific research result in this area is the Personality Symphony of the Future Belisarius Kaur.
However, compared to the absolute leadership of Kohl's main personality, Kirkland Sage's personality obviously has the same control over this body as Jin's personality.
Hades sighed.
"Don't make any noise."
No one paid any attention to him.
Hades decisively controlled the black domain, spreading it out and then taking it back.
"That's it!"
With Sage Kirkland's satisfied scream, the two bickering people finally quieted down due to the Black Domain's suppressive effect on the soul.
Hades pretended to be serious. In fact, this trick was very effective. Under Hades' questioning, Sage Kirkland told him in detail how he packed up his thoughts and sent them out at the last moment.
"I didn't expect that I could wake up. Maybe this is the consciousness of the God of All Machines! I am destined to help you, Lord Hades!"
Hades was speechless. Kirkland seemed to become more "loving of life" after dying once.
Something like "I knew that guy was not a god, the real God is Hades" was heard.
Hades ignored the fanatical Kirkland. He decided to let this guy calm down before trying to discuss the next arrangements. Hades was thinking about his plan. In fact, all the people sent by Graeae to build and garrison this forging satellite were fanatics. Hades could let these people realize some of their own ideas about weapons, and maybe even reveal some undead technology, but for the part about Blackstone technology, Jin and Kirkland are the best candidates.
Although Hades can use these technologies, he cannot keep an eye on their large-scale applications and the construction of assembly lines. It may be a time-saving and worry-free way to hand over the corresponding work to the Mechanicus personnel who are responsible for the supply of weapons to the Empire.
In the early stage, the other party is one of our own. Graiai's personnel may need some time to settle down, and Jin and Kirkland should not -
"Lord Hades, when will we overthrow the false god?"
Kirkland's voice rang out.
"ah?"
"What false god?"
Hades looked confused without reacting, but the next word from the Kirkland Sage made Hades jump up, his heart rate soaring to the highest speed.
"The Emperor."
Sage Kirkland said confidently that he had died once, so what was he afraid of
What the hell?!
Hades almost vomited blood.
