Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor

Chapter 62 Blackstone Expedition, Trading with the Engine Oil Guy

The Emperor knew of the Great Rift from Said's prophecy, saying:

"The premise of the Great Rift is that Abaddon destroyed the Black Stone Obelisk in the Rift area through twelve black expeditions."

"The black stone obelisk has a magic field, which can shield spiritual energy and close the cracks in the subspace. The raw material of the obelisk, the black stone, is also an important material for building the webway."

Said probably understood what the emperor meant, and he replied: "Then, Brother Huang wants me to seize the Blackstone World, protect the obelisk, and mine Blackstone deposits?"

The emperor nodded: "That's right, my brother, this gap across the galaxy needs a huge force to occupy it, not the empire, not the Mechanicus, only you, Said, and only the Bingmu Legion can do it! "

This also explains why in the original history, the emperor did not send a special force to occupy the Great Rift, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't do it.

The Great Rift stretches across the galaxy, from one end to the other, and no Legion other than Said is capable of controlling it.

Thinking of this, Said said seriously: "I understand Brother Huang, I promise to complete the task!"

Then he remembered something and asked, "By the way, Brother Huang, can you activate the Black Stone Obelisk and activate the forbidden magic field?"

The emperor nodded: "I can, but it can only last for a few hours, and then it will cool down for a long time. After all, I don't know much about Black Stone."

"That's why the Inuit Bingmu Legion is needed to study the Necrons and find a more efficient way to use them."

Said remembered that when Magnus blasted through the webway, the black stone had no effect at all. If the anti-magic force field was in effect, Xiao Ma's spiritual bomb would not be able to break through the defense at all.

At this time, the emperor seemed to think of something, and regretfully said:

"Actually, I also know that there are six Blackstone Fortresses in the Gothic star sector, each of which is a sharp weapon against subspace. Unfortunately... I only know switches and simple operations, and I don't know anything else!"

In the final analysis, for the emperor, the Blackstone technology is immature and has many unstable factors. Although it is powerful, it cannot be trusted.

Saeed understands the Emperor's concerns. If they encounter races with deeper technical background, such as the Eldar and Necrons, they will become remote-controlled bombs with backdoors.

The most appropriate way is to leave the fortress in the remote Gothic sector and deploy heavy troops to defend it. Said said: "Do you need the Prince's Legion to occupy it in advance?"

The emperor shook his head: "No, the Prince's fleet is going on an expedition to the entire Great Rift. No matter how many troops there are, it is too tight. It is not suitable for dividing troops to occupy a star area, so I handed it over to Ryan."

Known as the Great Keepers of Secrets, Lion's First Legion is armed with many golden-age weapons originally designed to deal with the Mechanicus Rebellion.

However, with Said now, who knows all the technologies of the Golden Age, it is enough to suppress the Mechanicus, so the First Legion has a new mission: to guard the Blackstone Fortress!
After thinking about these joints, Said said: "Then I will let the Prince's Legion set out now, starting from Cartier and the Maelstrom, and clear the entire Great Rift!"

The Emperor said: "The Mechanicus will also follow suit to assist you in researching Blackstone creations and mining Blackstone deposits."

Said frowned: "Mechanicum? What are they doing here? Can I command them? The Prince's Legion can independently complete mining and research tasks!"

The Mechanicus is extremely independent. From a legal point of view, Said’s order can be completely ignored. The Black Stone is the most important weapon of the country. It feels bad for Said to let two forces that do not belong to each other intervene.

The emperor calmly explained: "Don't worry Said, you, like me, have a full set of Golden Age technology, and the Mechanicum knows this."

"In the eyes of the Mechanicus, if I am Omnissian, you are the original power. If you join the Mechanicus, casting generals is just your starting point!"

Said was surprised: "You mean the oil guy will obey my orders?"

The emperor nodded and said: "Yes, until your knowledge is drained, or they really realize that the technology of the golden age is a thing of the past and must find another way, before that, they are more obedient than dogs!"

Said has a lot of knowledge in his head. If you squeeze the toothpaste a little bit, it will last a long time. Moreover, there are many factions in the Mechanicum, and the technology is not in circulation.

This means that Said can sell the same technology many times!

After figuring this out, Said no longer rejected the Mechanicus, nodded and said: "Well, I will let the puppet go to dock with the Mechanicus."

Outside the meeting room, General Foundry found Said puppet and said:

"Your Excellency, in the speech of the God of Myriad Machines, we are very interested in your planetary projection and broadcasting technology. I wonder if you would like to exchange it."

Said puppet replied: "What can you exchange for?"

The Foundry General replied: "Everything! As long as you provide enough knowledge, you can take everything from Mechanics!"

"Whether it's planets, armies, scientific research assistance, religious power, etc., I can give it to you!"

At this moment, the puppet took out a piece of wetware, handed it to General Foundry, and said with a smile: "How much can we exchange for the information inside, plus the planetary projection broadcasting technology?"

Casting General's whole body is mechanized, with multiple mechanical tentacles. At first glance, it looks like a mechanical octopus. It pulls out a wire from its body, connects it to wet parts, and trembles all over in an instant:
"Oh, it turned out to be a panacea! Praise the God of Myriad Opportunities! Are you really willing to exchange such great knowledge?"

The panacea is a black technology of the golden age, which can cure all human diseases. The Mechanicus found the related stc, but it was taken away by the black bean sprouts.

The gods who created the Warhammer universe obviously don't want to make it easier for humans, but since Said is here, he will naturally not let the tragedy repeat itself.

Once the Mechanicus obtains the panacea, it will be mass-produced to benefit more humans.

Said nodded: "I agree to the exchange, but I hope it will be worth it!"

General Casting said: "You ask for a price, I can give you what Mars has!"

Said said: "A mechanical ark also has a supporting machine soul maintenance team. In addition, I hope that during the Blackstone Expedition, the Mechanicus will not send armed forces. After all... your mission is to assist in scientific research and mining!"

The Mechanical Ark is known as a mobile hive. As long as there are enough raw materials, it is enough to produce all items. At the same time, it is equipped with powerful weapons. It is the crystallization of the Mechanicus' manufacturing technology.

Casting General thought for a while, and then said:

"No problem, but we are wondering. The mechanical ark technology comes from the golden age. His Royal Highness should have relevant knowledge. Why not build one yourself?"

Said said: "Because there is no time, even if the puppet infrastructure is invincible, it will take many years for a nest to develop to its limit. The same is true for the mechanical ark. It will take years to build it!"

"And there is no machine soul in the golden age. My puppets don't believe in Omnissian, and they can't appease the machine soul. They need your help."

General Casting nodded and said: "Understood, the Mechanicus will provide a mechanical ark, and the Blackstone Expedition will be led by Your Excellency, and the Skitarii will not be dispatched!"

Therefore, the two reached a technology exchange agreement, and the process was quite pleasant. General Casting said:
"His Royal Highness, can you, like your elder brother, join the Mechanic Church and become the incarnation of the original power?"

Said: "???"

　During the 12th Black Crusade, Abaddon was able to simply manipulate the Blackstone Fortress. The knowledge came from Moliana, the emperor's former servant, so it is speculated that the Emperor knew how to operate the Blackstone Fortress, but not much.

　　It is further speculated that Dihuang also has a certain understanding of the material of the Black Stone. Reminiscent of the Great Crusade, the Second Legion who erased the data was once ordered to explore the world of space necromancers, probably in order to improve the technology of manipulating the black stone's forbidden magic field.

　　So here it is set that the Emperor knows a little bit
