Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 339 The Name of the Holy Bell
"What is it? Is there any specific inference?" Calvin asked politely, seemingly interested in these technical issues.

But his real thought is how much material from Mars can be exchanged for this thing.

Like all soldiers, pragmatism limited Calvin's concern with these devices to enhancing their equipment.

And if the answer is no, then the focus of his attention is how many resources can be exchanged from these oil guys.

But the next sentence of the mechanical priest Stoyan broke his indifference in an instant and aroused his high attention.

"Unfortunately, it's still unclear. But from the documents that can be deciphered, we can learn that this is probably the discovery and exploration of some supernatural powers by the ancestors of the golden age in the era of their peak technology."

"Not a navigation device?" Calvin asked with some surprise.

His tone remained steady, but those who were familiar with the Primarch could tell from his body posture that the Primarch had become serious at this time.

However, Stoyan didn't notice it, and he explained to the Primarch in accordance with the original rhythm:

"It does have similar detection functions, but after a rough observation of its main structure, we have denied its possibility as a navigation device."

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

How advanced the technology possessed by the human beings in the Golden Age, Calvin already had enough understanding.It is also the consensus of all people in this era that these ancestors who were famous for their technology eventually fell on the eve of their ascension.

What could destroy such a powerful civilization overnight?

What could make their political system collapse in an instant, and the force that claims to be able to compete with the Eldar in the peak era cannot resist it?
If this question is replaced by humans before the Great Expedition, there may still be doubts;

But after the empire experienced the catastrophe of the great rebellion, the identities of the culprits hiding behind the subspace are no longer secrets worth discussing.

"Chaos Gods!"

In Calvin's brain, all the concepts about the subspace were instantly retrieved.In the end, these words were all brought together into one concept—the Chaos Gods!
He thought that humans in that era relied on the warp as a tool to maintain their political system, and never really realized the threat.

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

At least from the equipment in front of them, it can be known that the human vision of subspace in that era was not limited to the navigator.

"Is there any more information?"

Calvin looked over the mechanical priest in front of him, and looked at the members of the Order of Omen who were participating at the same time behind him.

Because the interests of each other do not completely overlap, Calvin has reservations about Stoyan's words.

On such critical issues, members from the Order of Omens are obviously more trustworthy.

"Yes." Sure enough, the members of the Omen Order did not disappoint him.

Facing the dissatisfied eyes of his peers, the master of the forge, who belonged to the Order of Ominous Order, informed the Primarch of the possibility deduced from some details in the previous cleaning 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 disassembled sample. "

"But you just said that it is a whole set." Calvin reacted instantly, and turned his dissatisfied gaze 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 complete!

And the constituent units of the parts are also complete!

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

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

Calvin understood the difference, but his doubts grew.

Based on his experience, these engine oil guys only have the experience of lowering the price on the spoils and hiding their value.What made these oil guys uncharacteristically exaggerate the value of their loot?

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

"Tell me, what are you thinking. Another point is Mars, do you know what you think?"

Calvin looked down at the mechanical priest who fell into silence, and found that this was another typical technician's "walking alone".

"Walk."

After the suffocating silence lasted for several seconds, the impatient Primarch uttered a cold word, and then took the lead towards the way he came.

The two Custodian guards were not interested in Mechanician's little thoughts, and followed the Primarch's footsteps.

"Please stay!" Mechanical monk Stoyan asked behind the Primarch to stay, but the Primarch obviously didn't intend to give him another chance.

"This is a key technology! It is likely to be related to the exploration of the Warp by humans in the Golden Age!"

The primarch moved on, but already at an ever-increasingly slow pace.

"God of Myriad Mechanisms! I know what it is!"

Stoyan shouted in despair, he knew that if he missed this time, he would never have another chance to fulfill his dream.

And with the last chips thrown, the Primarch was finally moved by his words.

Bang... bang... bang... The primarch's footsteps sounded in front of Stojan, and his threatening voice appeared at the same time.

"I give you one last chance to explain your intentions. By the Emperor, you better remain honest."

Calvin did not say the phrase "otherwise", and with his current status, he does not need to use words to remind others of the price of deceiving him.

"The Bell of Erebus..."

Stoyan languished on the deck, a strange term spit out from his mouth.

"The Bell of Erebus, or it has another name in your mouth - the Bell of Saint-Gestal."

"Continue." Calvin raised his brows slightly as information about this holy object flashed through his mind.

And the mechanical priest was also 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 broken information about the golden humans.

In the parts of that document that can be deciphered, we learn some of the mysteries of the Golden Age of humanity.

At the end of the Golden Age, humanity's use of the Warp was relatively mature.

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

In their continuous observation of the universe, they found 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 various applications based on these technological theories.

They tried to find the reason for this change, and succeeded in finding its source..."

"Subspace?"

"Above all."

Two words with different pronunciations but the same meaning, uttered by Calvin and Stowan at the same time.

And the latter, after hearing Calvin's voice, smiled wryly and looked up at the Primarch in front of him.

"Yeah, that's what they call that space.

The Bell of Erebus was how they found them, and the relic known to you as the Bell of Saint-Gestal was the earliest test sample of it.

Its final form..."

"Understood." Calvin stopped Stowan from continuing to speak, and raised his hand to isolate this space with spiritual energy.

He turned his eyes to the guards of the imperial guards behind him, and ordered in the most serious tone on the communication channel to the bridge and the two soldiers who entered the highest security:

"In my name, the entire ship has entered silent control, and the entire ship has entered first-level combat readiness!
Summon the psionic choir to shield our ship!

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

After the order is completed, it will take effect immediately! "

"Yes!"

The various nodes on the body of the Unremitting Jihad sounded simultaneously in response to Calvin's order.
