Warhammer in a box

Chapter 80: Nuln City

Everyone arrived at the door. Mudifar, Belegar and Bourne got on the only Chimera troop carrier in Terra. Gulman followed on a warhorse. The rest of the people either walked or took carriages.

But what no one expected was that Mudifar, who was on the Chimera, felt particularly intense.

"Oh, Om Messiah, what on earth have you done to this Chimera? It has been a long time since it was maintained! I can even hear the wailing of the machine spirit inside it."

After saying that, he took out a holy incense, placed his hand on the Chimera and began his prayer to try to soothe the machine spirit within.

It’s no wonder that under Mudifar’s operation, the Chimera seemed to run more smoothly, and the continuous operating noise inside the car seemed to have decreased a lot.

"Bourne, what on earth is this guy doing?" Belegar asked Bourne with a confused look on his face.

But Bourne was also confused. It was the first time he met Mudifar, and the first time he saw this kind of operation.

"Hey! The guy in the red robe, what are you doing?" Belegar asked directly and casually.

Mudifar simply replied coldly: "I am trying to appease the machine spirit in this chariot."

"Machine soul?"

"Every machine has its own soul. Only when the machine soul is happy can it operate normally. Otherwise, it may malfunction at an important moment."

"Are you a craftsman? A blacksmith?" Belegar also vaguely heard some meaning in it.

"Craftsman? Forger? If you want to understand it that way, it's not wrong, but I am just a humble believer in Om Messiah, a small cog in the operation of the human empire."

"It's really hard to understand what you said. But then again, this machine was also invented by you?!" Belegar had always been very curious about the Chimaera and Leman Russ of Terra. He had also asked the craftsmen of his clan to visit them, but the answer he got was that this was far beyond the existing technology of the dwarves, and they couldn't even figure out the materials used to make them.

"Invent? No, we don't invent. We just use divine reason to reconstruct something that has always been implicit in the logical structure of the universe. The God of Machinery has already created it. We are just learning or borrowing it. I am very curious about your rune technology. If there is a chance, I would like to communicate with your craftsmen. I believe I can learn a lot." Mudifar continued.

"This is the special technology of our dwarves. We can't let you, the guy in the red robe, learn it casually." Belegar's first reaction was to refuse.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. There will always be a chance."

Belegar felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat, and felt that there was something strange about Mudifar in his eyes.

The only way to get to Nuln is through the road network that connects various places. Without the threat of Beastmen, these roads in the dense forests and wilderness are obviously much safer.

Passersby or caravans would look at Terra's group with curiosity when they encountered them, but most of them were truly afraid. The huge metal monster made people dare not approach it after all.

During this time, the existence of Terra had begun to spread among the nearby Elector Counties, and the common people also knew that there was a new earl in the south. The earl was a great nobleman, and the emblem of his soldiers and family was a golden double-headed eagle.

According to legend, Terra is a beautiful place. Many people who went there did not want to come back, and many people sneered at it. After all, nowhere is good these days. There is only who is worse off, not who is better. But after all, there are some people who are not refugees or speculative businessmen who spontaneously go to Terra to find out what it is like.

Along the way, Gulman saw two caravans heading towards Terra, but when he saw that their trucks were carrying a considerable amount of dry food and dried meat, he knew that these merchants might not make any money this time.

There is no shortage of food in Terra, but the increase in population has also led to a very high demand for daily necessities, and Zhang Heng has no plans to send in even daily necessities.

"Everyone, look! These merchants are probably going to bring back the food again."

Gurman's teasing words also caused laughter from the surrounding soldiers.

Mudifar also got out of the car, probably because he was curious about everything around him, and he also had some yearning. Entering the Mechanicus and becoming a clergyman did not mean giving up his desires. People like him who had not chosen to transform most of their bodies still retained emotions and desires.

Even in the Forge World of the Mechanicus, people still choose to get married and have children, and he also comes from a priest family in a Forge World. Even though he received a good education since childhood and his parents, who had become priests, gave him special treatment, he only passed the exam with difficulty.

The amount of study and knowledge a person needs to acquire to become a priest is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Mudifar showed excellent talent in hands-on ability and was later assigned to a Cadian legion to become the head engineer responsible for maintaining weapons and equipment. He also completely left the forging world where he grew up.

Looking at the vibrant forest around him, he also felt the long-lost tranquility.

He hasn't seen a world like this for a long time.

Mudifar took a deep breath.

Feeling the fresh air entering his lungs, he couldn't help but groan.

For several years, he was either in the battleship's maintenance room filled with the smell of engine oil, or on a battlefield filled with artillery fire. Even when he was resting, it was in the dark nest city.

It took the team two days to reach Fardorf, and then continued towards Nuln, not arriving at the city of Nuln until the fourth day.

Zhang Heng also relied on the faith he had accumulated in the past few days and the benefits he had gained from harvesting the leeks before to throw down the second worker.

The task that Zhang Heng assigned to this engineer was to assist Marcus in maintaining Terra's equipment.

And make further plans for the city of Terra.

For example, in terms of energy, the city of Terra can only be illuminated by torches at night.

When Zhang Heng put forward his request to it, the engineer agreed immediately.

A solid reserve of basic knowledge gives engineers confidence in this task, it just takes a little more time.

He guaranteed that within half a month, Terra City would have a solar-based electricity source and basic lighting equipment.

Next time you cut leeks, you can put in a third worker, and I believe the efficiency will be greatly increased.

He turned to look at Gurman and others who had already arrived in Noon.

This huge team was even a few kilometers away from the city of Nun when it was stopped as expected by the nervous soldiers who arrived.

The scouts said that something like a steam tank was coming from the direction of Sol Territory!

The officer in charge of guarding the surrounding area immediately stood up in panic.

"My Lord! My Lord! Steam tanks!"

"Are you kidding? There are only a few Imperial steam tanks. Are you still asleep?"

"Sir, if you don't believe me, come and see! I will lie to you and you will die!"
