Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 432: Wasteful Person
"idiot!"

The Casting General roared and cursed.

The Quadrant, who was about to release psychic lightning to end Kelbo's life once and for all, was stunned for a moment.

Kelbo suddenly pounced on the bionic body parts that were crushed last time, and gathered them in front of him with his limbs and arms as if he was picking up coins on the ground.

"You treat such a precious thing as a consumable!"

Kelber crawled over and picked up one of the bionic legs.

"It's just a bionic body." Quadrant said, "There are many people on Mars who can create bionic bodies. What's so precious about it?"

"Do you think I'm too old to see the technology you're using?!" Kelber suddenly raised his head and glared at the quadrant, "It's certainly very easy to create a humanoid body, but what's the point of creating a shell?"

Qin Xia frowned and thought.

Although he is not a technological master of Kelbo's level, as a person who knows that the Quadrant has studied the ancient stone man data, he can still realize some things as if he has opened his clairvoyance.

It is not difficult to make a bionic body. Quadrant once said that he made some money when he was an apprentice to Kelber by making bionic limbs that were consistent with the human body.

But the problem is that the most advanced bionic technology mastered by the Mechanicus also has its limits, and it cannot have both performance and appearance.

If you want to become stronger, be able to process more information, and store more data, you have to be like Kaul, a natural humanist who gradually gives up his body and even his appearance and becomes a living machine that is taller than the original body.

The quadrant-shaped body combines both performance and appearance.

"How did you do it?" Kelbo picked up the skull fragments that he had just crushed with his gravity weapon. "Your consciousness transmission technology faces the problem of consciousness data storage. How can this thing that is similar to a normal human brain accommodate your transmitted consciousness in such a short time and allow you to quickly control your entire body?"

"It's been several years since you expelled me from Mars. How could my technology not have improved and iterated?" said Quadrant.

"Tell me!" Kelber threw the fragment of the head into the quadrant, "I have taught you knowledge selflessly!"

The quadrant was silent for a moment, and after organizing his words, he slowly spoke: "It's not that I don't want to share this knowledge, nor that I don't want to repay you for teaching me knowledge, but..."

Kelber listened.

"But..." Quadrant continued, "I need ten years to explain it to you and help you learn it, otherwise you won't understand it."

Kelber's expression gradually became grim, and he raised his hand towards the quadrant.

I thought he was going to use the gravity weapon quadrant to teleport again, but the place where he was originally standing was not squeezed by gravity. Instead, a teleportation beam appeared, and then a smart robot appeared.

Intelligent control robots are a type of war creation that the Mechanicum is skirting around the edges. They simply have intelligence that cannot be judged as "abominable intelligence" and require a person to input data to assist in their control.

However, Qin Xia could not identify what model this intelligent robot was. He could only say that it was a Kelbo type.

The Forge General's personal creation opened fire on the quadrant as soon as it appeared.

Quadrant's body burst out with amazing strength and speed, dodging the flying attacks one after another and approaching the intelligent control robot. After approaching the private war machine of the Forged General, he quickly lowered his body and his right hand gradually turned into a sword.

The sword pierced through the robot's head, destroying the chip built into it.

But the mecha still had the strength to fight. Quadrant dodged the swung iron claws, dodged and created some distance, then his right hand transformed into an energy weapon and fired an energy beam at the chip on the mecha's chest armor.

A large hole was opened in the chest of the robot, and its body fell stiffly to the ground.

“I address the lack of human performance through a programmable shape-shifting material.”

"This allows me to have weapons that are incredibly effective without having to implant a lot of weapon prostheses."

Quadrant looked at his left and right hands, which were changing shape under the control of his will.

From cold weapons to energy and thermal weapons.

The hands in the final quadrant are formed into human palms, raised towards the mentor.

"This is a waste." Kelber was still picking up the broken pieces on the ground. "You are wasting things that are precious in the eyes of others just like you are wasting your talent."

"Don't pick it up." Quadrant said calmly, "You can't possibly reverse engineer it. This is the idea of ​​a technical patent. You taught me that."

Kelbohar looked down and found that the fragments he had gathered were gradually disintegrating.

The material disappears into thin air, revealing to onlookers that this patented anti-counterfeiting method is a form of psychic technology.

"Anything else you want to say?" The quadrant's palm condensed into leaping lightning, "My cruel mentor."

"You can't kill me. I have benefited from you, your consciousness transmission technology." Kelbo said.

"No, fundamentally, I want to kill one of your many identities." Quadrant released psychic lightning, "Farewell, my mentor."

Kelbohar was struck by psychic lightning, and before he died, his equipment that could resist all material attacks flashed, but this material technology had no effect on psychic energy, and the only equipment that could resist psychic attacks had just been paralyzed.

Eventually the Quadrant mentor turned into a pool of snowflakes scattered in the air.

This psychic effect is proof that the psychic energy used by Quadrant comes from Qin Xia.

The outer shell on Quadrant's chest opened, revealing three psionic crystals stored in a cavity inside.

One had completely dimmed, and one of the remaining two was only flickering.

"I thought it wouldn't be enough." The outer shell of Quadrant's chest closed, and he looked up at Qin Xia, "Although this bionic body has been mass-produced, the stock of psychic crystals is limited."

"Did your mentor learn the consciousness transmission technology from you?" Qin Xia glanced at the snowflakes on the ground.

Quadrant nodded.

"So he is not dead yet." Qin Xia said.

Quadrant nodded again: "But his identity as the Quadrant Mentor is dead, and the connection between him and me has been completely severed. When I meet his true form again in the future, I can kill him as if he has nothing to do with me."

Qin Xia recalled the simple battle strategy of the quadrant just now, as well as Kelbohar's various performances, and finally came to a conclusion: "It seems that he didn't use his full strength."

"Kelbor has a large collection of ancient artifacts, so it's obvious that he didn't use his full strength." Quadrant agreed.

Hearing this, Qin Xia felt that the quadrant was more like completing a ritual without the effect of the subspace. Perhaps the two had already agreed, or perhaps it was a tacit mutual choice to end the master-disciple relationship in this way...

It seems that although Quadrant is too stubborn, he is not stupid after all, and he will not lose his life on Mars in a confused manner.

Thinking of this, Qin Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned to look at Kowa.

Kova was sitting in the cockpit of the transport plane. The air combat ace of his home world and the brave man who faced the Leviathan mutant mothership alone, seemed extremely nervous at this moment.

The transport plane's void shields have been opened, and Kova is obviously worried that the battle between Kelbo and Quadrant just now will destroy everything around.

"There's nothing to worry about anymore, right?" Qin Xia pointed at the transport plane.

Quadrant turned around and looked at everything around him. He glanced around the No. 3 smelter and then turned back and nodded to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia exhaled slightly and walked towards the transport plane with his hands behind his back.

The cabin door opened and closed, and Kova, who had been eager to leave Mars, quickly drove the transport plane out of the Martian atmosphere.

There was a briefcase next to where Quadrant was sitting. He had brought it with him before the trip to Mars, but he did not take it out when he got off the transport plane.

Now, Quadrant opened the suitcase and handed it to Qin Xia.

"These are the scientific and technological achievements I have made during this period. I originally planned to give them to you after my death, but now...it can at least serve as an explanation."

"Perhaps you think I was doing it with ease just now, but to be honest, I really thought I was going to die. Kelbo has a conceptual virus in his hand, and he can kill my consciousness directly."

While Quadrant was explaining, Qin Xia took the briefcase and saw a document inside.

The document records a brief introduction to the various technological achievements and where they are stored in the White Knight laboratory.

Qin Xia first looked at the technology related to psychic power.

Quadrant has researched a more advanced way of using psionic crystals, which is a technology that allows someone like him who has no psionic talent at all to cast psionic spells. The foundation of this technology is psionic crystals and a creation called a psionic circuit.

The psychic circuit is made of a material that is extremely compatible with psychic energy, and it looks like a circuit board...

"Black stone?" Qin Xia looked up suddenly. "The material from the underground of Planet No. 3 during the Randan Battle... How did you come up with the idea of ​​using this thing to create a psychic object?"

"After the Battle of Randan, I collected some planetary fragments and began to study the material called black stone." Quadrant said frankly, "I found that black stone has the effect of resisting psychic energy, and at the same time it also has the effect of amplifying psychic energy. It's very contradictory..."

"No, there is no contradiction at all." Qin Xia shook his head, "Black Stone is a double-edged sword. It can resist psychic energy, but it can also amplify psychic energy."

Hearing this, Quadrant was a little surprised. He felt that Qin Xia seemed to know a lot about this material, but he did not issue any order to collect black stone during the Ran Dan battle.

Qin Xia frowned: "That material is often used to counter psychic energy, but we don't know how to use it. Only a race that has existed for tens of millions of years knows how to use it, and those black stones have not been activated and used. I have seen black stone materials, but I racked my brains and couldn't figure out how to use them."

"You mean that although the black stone has many uses and is powerful, it is difficult to use and activate, and it is almost impossible for us humans to master the method of using the black stone? But when I found the black stone fragments at the end of the Randan battle, it was not as dull as you described, and could be activated and used by psychic energy." Quadrant said.

Qin Xia wanted to say that this was impossible, but then he thought of something.

The Void Dragon is a star god that has a very good affinity with Black Stone, and it can use Black Stone even when it has not been processed and activated.

The Emperor deployed Void Dragon Shards during the Battle of Randan.

"No." Qin Xia rejected the answer that suddenly came to his mind. "If the black stone is activated to suppress or amplify spiritual energy, I will definitely be able to sense it..."

"Most of the black stones I tested were useless. Only a very small number of them could have the effect I mentioned and be made into psionic circuits." Quadrant said, "Science requires not only a flash of inspiration, but also the patience required to repeat a large number of tests, as well as the belief that a new discovery must be useful."

Qin Xia stroked his chin: "Perhaps the power of the Star God fragment only affected the black stone a little bit."

"We can talk about Blackstone later. The key point is the bionic human technology." Quadrant said, "The most critical information given to me by the forging engine engineer is actually a material, a molecular material. Brown's various abilities are based on this molecular material. I can't reproduce it completely, but I can reproduce some of its functions."

Qin Xia suddenly asked: "How many bionic people can you control at the same time?"

Quadrant immediately realized what Qin Xia wanted to do.

Building an army of bionic men is like building an army of iron men. In short, this army will be large in number, easy to produce, and have strong individual combat power.

It’s not that there are no Iron Men in Nuceria, but such things would make the Emperor and Malcador stressed, so they can only be deployed and used at the most secret moments.

If we could have an army of bio-humans that could be controlled by humans, it would be like playing a marginal ball with the intelligent robot soldiers...

"I can control twenty bionic bodies at the same time." Quadrant answered after thinking for a while.

"Too little." Qin Xia put down the suitcase. "When we have time, I will study the consciousness transmission technology with you. We can..."

"But I can create nodes, like the center of a psychic ritual, that can ultimately control an entire army of bionic human bodies," Quadrant added.

"Perfect." Qin Xia patted his thigh.

The cabin fell into silence.

Quadrant believed that Qin Xia's attitude was to instruct himself to continue developing the two technologies.

Qin Xia suddenly sighed: "Sometimes, I think at least one of what Kelbohar said is right."

"what?"

"You have amazing talent, but you love to squander and waste it."

Qin Xia recalled what had just happened and continued.

"You pioneered two new directions for technological development, but you chose to use these two technologies to sever your master-disciple relationship with Kelbohar first."

After hearing this criticism, Quadrant was silent for a long time.

If I don't resolve this knot in my heart that I want to explain myself, I won't be able to do anything else.

But he also felt that Qin Xia understood, but even though he understood, he still felt that this behavior was wasteful and extravagant.

Finally, the quadrant could only nod: "I admit it."
