Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 49: Gold Armor
"Continue testing. I need to know the limits of the adamantium power armor. Arrange a testing site," Guilliman continued.

Lord Macragge's eyes were glowing. This epoch-making armor came at the perfect time.

As if the next test was even more dangerous, Guilliman forcibly ordered Auguston to leave his power armor. This reckless guy actually wanted to wear the adamantium armor to withstand the frontal attack of the knight mecha and heavy tanks.

Self-confidence is a good thing, but if it turns into arrogance, it is undoubtedly stupid behavior.

Roche replaced the human body with an automatic robot, which was covered with extremely sensitive sensors and could simulate the physical condition of Astartes.

After the test, even Guilliman was shocked by the simple and crude data results.

The adamantium armor can withstand the attacks of the smallest Knight Mech Broadsword Squire's melta spear and the adamantium Reaper Chainsaw Machete. It can also remain completely unscathed when facing the high-speed automatic cannon of the Spear Squire that can fire hundreds of powerful armor-piercing shells a minute.

However, the fact that the power armor is intact does not mean that the combatants inside can remain unscathed. According to data feedback, the attacks of the knight mecha and heavy tank are enough to penetrate the buffering limit of the power armor, and the shock wave can cause damage to the Astartes.

Especially the main gun of the super-heavy tank, which is fully capable of overloading the buffer limit and completely shattering the Astartes inside.

But this is exaggerated enough. The main gun of the super-heavy tank can even pose a threat to the Titan. It is not an anti-infantry weapon, and with the flexibility of the super-heavy tank, it is difficult for them to hit the Astartes without a prior ambush.

As for higher-level Titan-class attacks, data simulations showed that the adamantium armor would be completely penetrated. However, using an Astartes to fight against a Titan machine, even the craziest commander would not issue such an absurd order.

After seeing the power of the adamantium armor, the one who reacted the most was Ms. Euden.

She held Luo Xi's hand affectionately and said in a motherly tone, "Please make sure that the Ever-Victorious Army changes to the adamantine armor. This is simply a masterpiece of genius. Mr. Luo Xi, please accept my respect and praise."

What Ms. Euden valued was not the performance of the adamantium armor, but its excellent protective ability.

Even dense bombs cannot break through its defense, so Guilliman's safety factor will be several levels higher.

She knew her son's temper very well. Guilliman seemed as calm as a thinker computer, but when the situation forced him, he would not hesitate to take action himself.

There is a deep-seated anger hidden in Roboute's bones, but most of the time, his good upbringing suppresses this instinct.

At this time, the Ever-Victorious Army, fully armed with adamantium armor, will be the most reliable shield for the Primarch. They will accompany the Primarch in the charge and bring him back safely.

"Of course, ma'am. These equipments will be given priority to the Primarch's guards. If he is willing, I also have a set of specially customized power armor. It is made of strong interaction force materials, and its defense is even better than that of the adamantium armor."

What appeared before Guilliman was a set of blue and gold tactical dreadnought armor, with a metal relief of the Imperial Lightning Eagle's wings on its breastplate, and the XIII Legion's ultimate mark was branded on the shoulder armor on both sides. Various honor marks were restored one-to-one with reference to the power armor on Guilliman.

The iron halo behind the armor can deflect the hail of bullets, allowing the Primarch to survive safely in the midst of thousands of troops.

"This is specially customized for you, there is only one set." Luo Xi said with a smile.

Guilliman extended his massive hand and gently stroked the Power Armor. It was incredibly smooth, yet held a strange temperature unlike steel. Roche had utilized the force field technology contained within the STC to eliminate the electromagnetic forces within the material's particles, thereby pressing them tightly together. Its surface was absolutely smooth, possessing an indestructible quality, while the particles ceased vibrating, bringing their temperature to absolute zero.

Guilliman's hand did not actually touch the actual surface of the armor, as there was a layer of force field on the outside that isolated the touch.

"This set of armor is compatible with your weapons: the Hand of Domination and the Dagger of Sincerity. It can also be loaded with new Lightning Claws and Power Fists."

Faced with this set of armor, even the Primarch couldn't help but quicken his breathing.

"Thank you."

Guilliman also did not understand and took off his armor in front of the Ever-Victorious Army.

It was a Terminator Armor carefully crafted by the Adeptus Mechanicus, worth even more than a star, but at this moment it was defeated by a more powerful competitor.

"When you return, remember to find some Mechanicus priests to perform the rituals of holy incense and holy oil. It has only been equipped with a basic intelligent system. I want to see how the machine soul is born."

Although Luo Xi believed that the machine soul was a simple kind of intelligence, he wanted to see how the Mechanicus could make a soulless armor give birth to a machine soul. For him, this might be a kind of knowledge that was not within the knowledge framework.

There is no knowledge that is always correct, only knowledge that keeps pace with the times.

Next, Roche took Guilliman to inspect the factory workshop that produced mortal equipment. Those standard carapace armors could operate using force feedback, and could enhance power when equipped with micro-power backpacks. They were almost a castrated version of the Space Marines' power armor.

It is equipped with basic medical functions, and can release hormones and drugs for excitement and hemostasis. The communication module in it can enable battlefield communications to the individual soldier level, which is undoubtedly a significant improvement in the army's command capabilities.

These mortal armors do not require much resources. Compared with the power armor of the Space Marines, Roche's current productivity can produce 100,000 pieces per day.

"I will adopt your suggestion. Important planets such as Macragge, Amatra and Konor will update the equipment of the auxiliary army. Thank you for your contribution."

Guilliman immediately made the decision that transport ships from Macragge would immediately transport the produced equipment to several key defended worlds.

The Space Marines and Mortal Auxiliary Forces there will be upgraded and equipped.

"If my flagship had not been repaired by the Mechanicus, I would have brought it to you. I would have covered every inch of the armor with adamantium. The pressure on our navy is simply too great."

Although the innovation of power armor and the replacement of mortal auxiliary forces made Guilliman happy for a while, the real troublesome thing had not been solved, that is, the problem of replenishing the warships of the 500 Worlds of Ultramar.

Guilliman urgently needs some new warships to join his fleet. After the Battle of Calth, the Ultramarines lost almost half of their warships. Facing the coalition forces of the Word Bearers and the World Eaters, their disadvantage in naval warfare will continue to increase.

"I want to know if you have a way to build a warship with sufficient combat power. Although I know this is an excessive request, I must seize every bit of strength when facing a powerful enemy."

　I received a notification today that the product can be put on the shelves. Thank you for your support. Without further ado, here are the words I wrote:
