Warhammer: Starting with Industrial Revolution

Luo Ning stared at the scarlet warning line in the center of the concrete wall, his fingertips tightening slightly.

He knew better than anyone else present that behind the words "Iron Man Rebellion" lay the complete collapse of humanity's golden age and the millennia-long darkness and war that engulfed the entire galaxy.

Even if the seal truly concealed technology that could elevate him to the top in one step, or war machines that could allow him to sweep across the star sector, he would absolutely not touch it.

Chaos's gifts have a price, but the Iron Man's gifts have always been destruction.

"Lord Victor, Father Moraes, I suggest we immediately conduct a thorough inspection of this seal and reinforce it."

Luo Ning tried his best to calm himself down. There were countless dormant AI cores in this universe. As long as they were properly sealed away, there would be no problems for the next few thousand years.

After Victor personally inspected the seal in detail, he confirmed that the seal was intact, but just in case, they decided to reinforce it with another layer.

The plan was quickly finalized: Victor left behind the Guards of the Faith, while Ronin also left behind his own guard.

They imposed the highest level of lockdown on the area, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.

Victor poured his heart and soul into this new seal:

The innermost layer is a full meter thick electromagnetic shielding layer, with the holy emblem of Omnisiah engraved on its surface. This layer can completely block the leakage of internal electromagnetic signals and soothe the restless machine spirit, thus preventing AI from penetrating mechanical creations at the source.

Outside the shielding layer, a three-meter-thick layer of bulletproof cement was poured in, with a high-density alloy steel mesh embedded inside. Even if the main gun of the Leman Rustank were to fire directly at it, it would be impossible for it to penetrate.

On the outermost layer of the entire seal, he designed an emergency melting device with hundreds of injection holes filled with high-temperature hot-melt coagulant.

If signs of wall breaches or AI infiltration appear in the future, pressing the emergency button will allow the entire passage, and even the first half of the third underground level, to be completely cast into a solid metal block within 10 minutes, leaving no gaps.

At the same time, he deployed all available servo skulls to conduct a millimeter-level high-precision global scan of the entire colony, ensuring that there were no undiscovered gaps connecting the three underground levels to the upper levels.

Finally, a large amount of molten iron was poured in, completely blocking the ventilation ducts, maintenance shafts, and any other gaps that might connect the three underground levels to the upper level.

Luo Ning personally selected the most reliable people from the military camp, choosing those with the highest loyalty and combat effectiveness. Together with the guards who had accompanied Luo Ning to the third underground level, they formed the first wave of soldiers to enter the colonial ruins.

They built a standardized military barracks at the end of the circular corridor, with the location behind the barracks being the seal of the three underground passages.

The massive reinforced wall completely blocked the main passage, and the emergency gate in the center was almost always locked. Anyone who wanted to pass through had to go through five strict inspection procedures and hold a pass jointly signed by Ronin, Victor, and Father Moraes.

Furthermore, there are five inspection procedures, and a certificate jointly signed by Ronning Victor and Father Moraes is required.

The parishes on the edge of the planets already receive almost no resources, and the shortage of clergy in the state religion has always been ridiculously large.

If he hadn't built the Loyalty Academy in the Lower Nest District with Luo Ning, he probably wouldn't have been able to gather enough people to complete the sanctification ceremony.

Even so, Father Moraes only selected three of the most devout students from the academy to accompany him to the colonial ruins.

The four people, holding sanctification detectors, completed three full-area spatial ripple scans of the entire second underground space, inside and out. After confirming that there were no chaotic or heretical signals remaining, they began to apply holy oil to each wall and recite purification prayers word by word.

In this ruin that has been sleeping for ten thousand years, Father Moraes no longer bears the listless and aged appearance of the past; only the solemnity and steadfastness of a truly qualified state priest remain.

He loudly proclaimed the sacred prayers for sealing away heresy, and at the same time used the holy fire of highly concentrated thallium to complete the final purification ritual in front of the sealing wall.

At the moment the ceremony ended, he personally issued an official "Certificate of Sanctification Free from Heresy," signed his name, and affixed the parish seal.

Only then did all the heretical risks surrounding this site finally come to an end.

But that wasn't the end of it. They rushed back to the capital and brought along Governor Karl, who was unaware of the major events happening outside and hadn't seen Ronin for several days, and was feeling depressed.

Governor Karl was stunned as he looked at the thick stack of "Report on the Banning of Heretical Relics on the Imperial Frontier".

"These past few days... haven't you been busy with the infrastructure construction in the lower hive area?" He stammered as he looked at Ronin, but when his gaze swept over Viktor and Morath beside him, his body tensed up involuntarily.

That was his deep-seated fear of the two great mountains, the State Religion and the Mechanism, second only to the Inquisition.

Luo Ning smiled awkwardly and briefly explained what had happened in the past few days.

After hearing this, Governor Karl's face turned red and green in turns. He gripped the governor's seal tightly on the corner of the table, opened his mouth to think for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't say a word.

Luo Ning knew without a doubt that what he was about to say was, "Don't cause any trouble with heresy and get us all burned at the stake by the Inquisition."

"Governor, please rest assured. This operation will not only avoid trial by the Inquisition, but the Empire will most likely issue us a formal commendation. We have sealed the remnants of heresy, which will allow us to produce more equipment and pay more tithes. The Sector Commander is eager to take us on."

After listening to Ronin's words, Governor Karl looked at the people around him.

Father Moraes' face was full of loyalty and honor to the empire and the emperor, and his usual cowardly and complacent demeanor had completely disappeared. He nodded deeply to him.

Meanwhile, Victor remained as calm and collected as ever, the red light from his mechanical eye flickering slightly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Since Luo Ning had already arranged everything, he didn't refuse anymore. His fingertips trembled as he picked up the heavy governor's seal and stamped the report with a bright red seal.

Accompanied by the buzzing of encrypted psionic communications, the "Report on the Prohibition of Heretical Relics on the Imperial Frontier," bearing the seal of Governor Vatos VII and bearing the dual seals of the Mechanicus and the State Religion, transformed into a stable data stream and rapidly transmitted towards the sector capital.
