If it was a certain sub-group of the Blood Angels that wanted to use Faya as a recruiting planet, he would never agree to it.
Chapter 45 Ideal City Planning
When he first learned about the gene-seed source of the Flame of Repentance Chapter, Russell wanted to say to Miraak in a rude way, "I know what you are repenting for," but his strong self-control finally managed to suppress the desire to tease.
Russell believed that Gray Wind must have led him astray because of his daily dirty talk.
Along with the stationing of the Dark Angels' Flame of Repentance, a large number of veterans and commanders from the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy also settled on this small and beautiful planet.
They stayed in Falla with half of the Mechanicus and began to prepare for the militarization of Falla.
The special nature of the L-Gate determines that once this transportation network is built, the galaxy where the terminal exit is located will become a battleground. The empire will have to deploy a huge military force here to guard the network hub in order to protect its own transportation safety.
The Flames of Penance are only the first Space Marine Chapter to be stationed in the Falla, and as the dire situation on Espionage eases, more and more Space Marines will be deployed here in the future.
In order to cope with the huge military expenditure that is foreseeable in the near future, the Mechanicus, after obtaining Russell's consent, plans to transform a barren planet on the outskirts of the Faya system.
The Tech-Priests planned to use large thrusters to force the planet into the habitable zone within the galaxy, and in the next few decades, they would carry out massive construction to completely transform it into a new forging world in order to continuously produce war materials for Faya.
Russell felt that he could have some other ideas about this idea.
After the Prophetess left Faya with almost two-thirds of the expeditionary force, Russell found a time and claimed that he had an important matter to discuss with the Technical Sage. Then, accompanied by a team of combat nuns, he boarded the research vessel "The Unsolvable Puzzle".
He didn't mind being closely monitored by the Emperor's daughters all day long, but if possible, Russell would actually prefer to be surrounded by the Sisters of Redemption.
Well no.
With regret, Russell left the battle sisters outside the door and walked alone into a tightly sealed cabin deep in the research ship.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the scarlet glowing artificial eye of the Tech Sage in the darkness, which was pinned to him like a dart shot from a dart gun.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to blame you for asking you to return those Cy, ah... ancient Titans." Russell immediately saw through the reason why the Tech Sage was so nervous.
I'm not here to collect debts... The other party's mood finally calmed down, but his attitude towards Russell was still a little unfriendly. He was probably still feeling pain for the relic warship that was destroyed together with the Zerg. Poor guy.
While Russell was thinking, a long mechanical arm emerged from under the robe of the technical sage, crawled along the wall to the door, closed the door and turned on the light.
After nodding slightly to the technical sage sitting in front of the gear table in the middle of the room, Russell sat down opposite him with confidence.
The oil man was so rude that he didn't even pour a cup of tea for the guests. Russell felt ashamed.
The Star Bullet's messenger came to me, if it wasn't to collect debts, then what could it be? The Technical Sage was worried.
"I got the news that the Adeptus Mechanicus wants to transform the barren planet 'Embra' outside of Faya into a forge world. I think this is a good idea."
Russell placed his hands on the gear table, interlaced his fingers, and went straight to the point: "I think I can provide some help in this regard and reach some cooperation with the Mechanicus."
The Technosage breathed a nonexistent sigh of relief: "I'd love to."
He knew in his heart that Russell, the small governor of a remote planet, naturally could not give him any help. The one who proposed cooperation at this moment was the one behind him.
"I need you to repair and expand the Seekers space station for me."
Russell smiled and said, "You should have seen it long ago with your vision. The frame structure and core specifications of the Seekers are completely inconsistent with its current size. This is because its original design concept was never a small orbital fortress. From the beginning, we built the basic framework of this space station with the specifications of a 'star base' in mind."
The technical sage nodded, making a sound of metallic friction: "You are not lying."
He has long seen that the various modules on the Seeker were put together in a hurry, and the wiring connections in many places were not reasonable, which wasted a lot of space and redundant energy.
But after Bernatita's analysis at the Prophet's Conference, he understood that this was because the Star-Bullet had anticipated the orc war in Faya.
The tight time schedule forced the Faya people to temporarily cram modules into the framework of the star base and build it into a shabby orbital fortress, so that they could form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
After the war, this makeshift orbital fortress should receive the construction it deserves and truly become a large star base capable of sheltering the entire Faya galaxy.
This coincided with their plan to militarize Faya, and the technical sages had no reason to refuse.
"As long as you can offer us a price that appeals to us, the Mechanicus is willing to serve you." The Tech-Sage nodded in response.
He did not doubt that the other party could produce all kinds of lost technologies and ancient equipment that made him salivate, but the technical sage was still a little curious. Building Forge Worlds was considered the core practice of the Mechanicus. What kind of help could the Star-Bomber provide in this regard?
"You will be tempted." Russell reached a hand into his clothes, took out a neat white cover plan, and placed it on the gear round table.
The title of the proposal is:
“Integrate the world into one city, and build a city for the world.”
"Planet Project: Ideal City."
The technological sage's artificial eye moved up and down, scanning the complex plan with extremely high efficiency and recording it into his brain.
What was presented before him was a set of perfect planetary transformation specifications that could be used to transform almost any habitable planet. Its level of standardization and modularity could even be called STC.
Yes, a planetary scale STC standard build template.
In the planetary plan, the entire planet is neatly and efficiently cut into functional zones with different purposes with extremely elegant techniques. The different zones are arranged and combined with each other to fit seamlessly into a highly modular planetary city. The required functional zone ratio can even be customized according to specific needs.
This urban planet is far superior to the general foundry world where factories are built according to local conditions in terms of production efficiency expectations and rationality of road planning. It is the most rational and beautiful world at the same time.
The entire planet covered with steel is seamlessly integrated, like a perfectly crafted work of art, which is intoxicating.
The name "Ideal City" is well deserved.
Chapter 46 Preparation
“Amazing design.”
The mechanical arm extended from the Tech Sage's robe and carefully placed the project plan back on the table. At this moment, he really wanted to know what kind of genius had created this perfect STC that could already be called a work of art. So a name came to his mind: Star Launcher.
"I admit that I was tempted. Just like a swordsman cannot refuse a sword that can cut through iron like mud, I cannot refuse such a beautiful and efficient planetary factory."
The Tech Sage's artificial eye moved slightly, staring into Russell's eyes, and then asked:
"But to build the city planet in this plan, we need to use dozens of advanced technologies that we have not yet mastered or have already lost. Without the corresponding technical support, we cannot produce a finished product with just a design plan."
Russell was not surprised at all; this was exactly what he wanted.
When the technological products brought from the stars are connected to the local technology tree, there will inevitably be some incompatibility. Even though the basic laws of physics are common, the application of the laws by different civilizations is extremely different.
Even Russell had to borrow Grey Wind's computing power to perform massive calculations in order to localize the Utopia project using the technology mastered by the Mechanical Order.
This is not difficult to achieve. Although the humans in this universe have experienced a break in civilization and lost technology, the humans in the golden age were too golden. They have been living off their heritage for tens of thousands of years, and the oil men can still easily dig up all kinds of black technology on Mars that can subvert the world.
In short, with the advanced technology mastered by the Mechanicus, building an entire Warhammer-style urban planet is no problem at all.
But while Grey Wind was localizing the planetary plan, he also deliberately retained some key construction links that required the use of Star-specific technology.
It’s for now.
"I can provide the technical support you lack." Russell said considerately, "This is a fair cooperation, isn't it? You help me build the Seekers star base, and I help you build the ideal city. Our cooperation will be very pleasant."
"That's right." The technical sage bowed slightly in greeting.
The cooperation with the Mechanicus was smoothly negotiated. Compared with the Navigator Family and the Merchant Fleet and other forces, the Mechanicus who only pursue technology itself are the easiest to talk to, as long as you can satisfy their endless curiosity... no, it's collecting addiction.
Okay, now, can we talk about the Titans that you have forcibly occupied?" Russell said with a smile.
Looking at his gentle and polite smile, every circuit in the Tech Sage's body became alert at the same time.
However, in contrast to the Techno-Sage's vigilant attitude, Russell did not give up on the matter. He did not even intend to take back the Cyberlux troops that were taken away by the Mechanic Society. He only made some small requests that were not too excessive.
For example, he asked for some STC templates with a wider range of applications and were not too precious. Another example was that Russell hoped that the Mechanical Society could build a small-scale private fleet for him, and even explicitly stated that there was no need to install subspace engines on it. Naturally, all these small matters were agreed to by the Technical Sages.
After the pleasant conversation, Russell and several combat nuns boarded the landing craft and left the research vessel "Unsolved Puzzles".
Looking out the porthole, the fleet anchored in Faya's orbit had formed a light blue belt around the planet, which was spectacular. The landing craft Russell was riding passed through the belt and took him to the northern continent where the Governor's Office was located.
In the outer orbit of Faya, the priests of the Mechanicus were driving armored ships in the airspace of the Second Moon and deploying various heavy engineering machinery to dismantle and recover the wreckage of the battle moon.
In addition to large-scale engineering machinery, there are also many technical priests with mechanical servants, driving small combat barges equipped with live ammunition to cruise in space and salvage and recover the wreckage of ships that crashed in previous naval battles.
The number of these wreckages is so large that they form a faint belt around the second moon. During the salvage process, you can occasionally pick up one or two greenskins that are not yet dead, so you need to carry some basic self-defense weapons with you.
For example, the Destroyer Macro Cannon.
The oil men work so hard mainly because of the poverty of Falla.
Whether it is the ideal city project, the construction of the Seekers star base, or the maintenance and construction of a new naval fleet, a large amount of mineral and metal resources, as well as energy, are required.
What Faya lacks most is resources.
The meager output of the southern continent's mines is far from enough to support such a huge project. In order to efficiently obtain raw materials, the Mechanicus has worked tirelessly to create multiple space mining sites in the gravel belt within the Falla system. It has also taken the lead in organizing a large number of cheap fleets using traditional nuclear fusion engines to develop the various uninhabited asteroid belts around Falla.
But none of these methods are as fast as picking up the garbage directly.
The wreckage of the battle moon is a pile of ready-made semi-finished raw materials that the Mechanicus can easily pick up. It all depends on whether they are willing to bend down. If they are lucky, they may even find some Orc technology that humans can barely understand.
Although in principle the Empire does not allow the recycling of materials that have the risk of Chaos contamination, in reality, the Mechanicus has always done a lot of things like salvaging damaged ships of unknown origin, refurbishing them and continuing to use them.
The risk of corruption exists objectively, but as long as the ship is locked in the dock and some holy water is sprinkled on it, and some people do some dancing and praise the God of All Things and the Emperor, it will be almost purified after a few sets of processes. They have been doing this for nine thousand years.
The oil guy thinks it's ok.
This behavior even continued until the return of the Ultramarines' Primarch, Robouti Guilliman, who assumed power again, before being systematically curbed, but that was nearly two thousand years later.
Watching their hard work, Russell also realized some problems.
The evil gods of the subspace of this universe are too powerful. If the technological creations in the stars do not have corresponding anti-corrosion measures, they are very likely to be contaminated by chaos.
This problem was exposed when the Cyberlux warbodies landed on the Battle Moon. The tentacles under the armor scared Grey Wind, and in the end it was the orcs who figured out their loyalty and eliminated the corruption.
As for public facilities like the L-Star Gate, which will be used by hundreds of millions of people after its completion, the situation will only be more serious.
There is no need to worry about Nirvana. The mechanical repairmen will kowtow three times and kowtow nine times for each part of the project, and by the time it is completed, the machine soul will be worshipped out.
As for the main gate on Faya's side, in fact, as long as Russell stays here, the probability of facility corruption is equal to 0%, but he can't stay in Faya forever as a public facility cleaner, so he has to make preparations in advance.
And we have prepared for both situations.
Chapter 47 "Guide"
It was a dark night in the northern continent with its back facing the stars. Russell entered the Governor's Mansion and returned to his bedroom as usual. The team of combat nuns followed him into the bedroom as usual to prepare for the night watch, but they found that the Governor had no intention of resting today.
Russell simply pulled out a silver-haired maid who had been squatting in his bedroom, and then dragged her all the way to the Governor's office.
"Yuan... Governor, what's wrong with you?" Grey Wind sat on the sofa in front of the desk in the office, looking at Russell with confusion.
It was fishing happily when it was suddenly pulled up.
"This is hard to explain. Anyway, please help me draw a picture," said Russell.
"Oh……"
