Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

It is about the Emperor's coming to Mars and the undercurrents within that ancient planet and Order.

"When the Emperor came to us, we all believed that he was the prophet of the God of All Things, Om Messiah, whom we believed in. But Kyberhar was different. He believed that the Emperor was just an invader, a liar, and a false god. He wanted to enslave the priests of Mars with lies to gain power."

"Two centuries after the signing of the Olympian Agreement, Kyberhar became the Forge General due to his outstanding performance and owned Mount Olympus, the largest forging world on Mars."

Luo Xi deeply agreed that this kind of person who endures silently is often the most terrifying. He buried all his regrets and resentments deep in his heart, which continued to swell and fester for two centuries until he turned his hatred into a terrible betrayal.

He must prevent this situation from happening again. Someone like the Casting General, who is capable of acting arbitrarily, should not appear in the high-tech community.

He hoped that it would develop into an academic organization rather than a political entity similar to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

"I will establish basic logical charters for the advanced technology community to prevent possible tendencies towards dictatorship and extremism," Roche said to Rand.

He brought a large group of mechanical priests to a huge conference hall in the planet's control center.

Here, thirteen seats in Martian red mixed with cobalt blue have already been set up in the center of the conference hall.

Outside of these thirteen seats are circles of ordinary seats shaped like conic sections.

Akan Rand looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart suddenly moved, realizing the rules that Luo Xi was going to announce next.

This newly born school organization will elect a group of people who can speak on its behalf.

This means enormous power and status. Having a seat here may have an influence even more terrifying than that of a great sage.

Luo Xi was not humble either, and took the lead and sat in the center of the thirteen senior seats.

There are twelve of these seats made of adamantium alloy left.

"Everyone, in order to better manage the Advanced Technology Community, I will select twelve members from the Mechanicus, and I will personally name it the Sage Council."

Except for Luo Xi, the others have not yet taken their seats, but everyone already knows that Akan Rand and Ezekiel Seidene will definitely have a seat.

"The Sage Council governs and manages the Advanced Technology Community. When faced with important decisions, each council member has a crucial vote, and the Speaker has two votes."

"The Sage Council needs to review all innovations and improvements within the Advanced Technology Community. We are all aware of the threat that the Warp poses to innovation. This is necessary."

Rand nodded in deep agreement. One of the important reasons why the Mechanicus was so afraid of innovation was that in this world, innovation could be toxic, and sometimes a flash of inspiration could lead to terrible consequences.

A strict and complete review mechanism can undoubtedly minimize the possibility of problems and make innovation and progress as harmless as possible.

"But how can we ensure that we can screen out potential Warp corruption? It is difficult to detect, Sage Roshi." Someone asked immediately.

But Luo Xi had already come up with a solution for this.

"You may not understand this yet, but the anti-warp stance of Blackstone that we have now is already very effective. By then, I will cover the entire planetary control center in an anti-warp stance, and any review and inspection will be isolated from the influence of the warp."

Roche once again used the Black Stone Technique. The Necrons' stuff was indeed useful and could block the pervasive Warp erosion.

"Secondly, all innovations and breakthroughs must be reviewed by thirteen councillors and receive two-thirds of the votes of approval before they can be officially implemented. These thirteen councillors are all recognized Mechanicus sages. They can use their experience to discover hidden dangers and threats as much as possible."

The review mechanism envisioned by Roche is almost extremely strict in order to prevent the Chaos corruption of the subspace, but it is necessary in order to strike a balance between progress and safety.

After explaining the importance of the seat, Luo Xi also began to announce the list of members of the first Council of Sages.

He didn't like to be autocratic, but the organization was just established and everything needed to be tested and improved. Moreover, with a powerful enemy at the door, he didn't have the time and energy to hold democratic elections.

Those political games played in peacetime only lead to endless wrangling and inefficiency today.

"Arcan Rand."

Sage Rand immediately picked a seat and sat down next to Luo Xi.

This super genius, one of the most outstanding in the Mechanicus, was considered to have abilities and talents that even surpassed those of Kyber Har. If it were not for his personality, he would have been a strong contender for the position of Forge General.

"Ezekiel Seidene."

The master of the genetics school, who was lying on a suspended vehicle, came to his seat under the protection of his disciples.

There was a slight annoyance on the old man's face. Arkan Rand was actually ranked ahead of him, which made the sage who claimed to have served the Emperor the longest feel dissatisfied.

However, he still accepted the seat. Compared with these, he hoped to find technology in the Advanced Technology Community that could prolong his life. He also hoped to serve the Emperor forever.

"..."

"Bucker Dylan."

Roche read out the names of the members of the Council of Sages that he had selected. There were twelve Mechanicus Sages other than him. They were all authorities in their respective fields, but only Rand and Ezekiel were present at the scene.

As for that old fellow Buckle Dylan, although he is not in Terra, he represents the Mechanicus power of the entire Five Hundred Worlds, and his influence may not be inferior to that of the Mechanicus.

All the mechanical priests watched this historic moment, and they desperately used various recording devices to record this moment.

There is no doubt that the scene they are witnessing now will be an important research material for future generations. The birth of the behemoth Advanced Technology Community may also inspire many Mechanicus sages to study history.

Luo Xi sat in the central seat of the parliament, looking at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Yes, he did it, integrating the behemoth of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and next he will command this behemoth and better arm the human empire with technology and knowledge.

The High Technology Community was established under the witness of all the mechanical priests who visited Ganymede. This news will spread rapidly throughout the solar system and even the entire galaxy in the next very short time.

Arkan Rand had not been so excited for a long time. One of the most powerful figures in the Mechanicus, he even expressed optimism that those fools who followed Cable Harr were the ones who missed the real big opportunity.

Did those fools think that by following Kyberhar and founding the Dark Mechanicus, they could arbitrarily unlock the knowledge granted by the Warp, break through the red lines set by the Emperor, and obtain the truth of the God of All Machines?

Wrong, extremely wrong. Making a deal with the subspace will only end up being eaten up without leaving anything behind.

He has foreseen that the Advanced Technology Community will replace the Mechanicus and become the cradle of truly cutting-edge technology.

An organization with a reasonable reward and punishment mechanism, which encourages innovation and scientific research and is as fair and just as possible, is definitely not comparable to the inheritance model of the Mechanicus, where disciples follow their master and apprentice, rely on their own efforts to learn and study, and dig graves everywhere to find lost scientific and technological knowledge.

Whether in terms of size or efficiency, the two are not on the same level.

"I will take the lead and set an example by sharing some of the technologies in the Red Alert database that are suitable for research with the STC. These human heritages from the Golden Age are too attractive to the oilmen who believe in the Om Messiah. There is no way they can refuse them."

"Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to gain knowledge, you must make corresponding contributions. Only then will you be qualified to touch those precious treasures of the God of All Machines."

Luo Xi has already designed a set of organizational operating mechanisms and reward and punishment mechanisms in his mind. He will leave a responsible intelligent computer on Ganymede, and let it make the most fair decision.

The logic of artificial intelligence is rigorous. As long as it is not affected by chaos and corruption, it will not be disturbed by selfishness like humans, and will only firmly execute its underlying code.

At that time, every mechanical priest, or anyone else, who has registered with the Advanced Technology Community will have a personal account that records their respective research areas, personal contribution points, and specific information on the contributed knowledge or STC.

For some contributions that are easier to evaluate, the intelligent brain can make a direct judgment and convert them into contribution points, while some things that are difficult to evaluate will be transferred to the thirteen members for evaluation.

"At that time, we will set up a more detailed ranking system based on the amount of contribution. People with higher ranks can enjoy better treatment and higher levels of authority..."

Mutual benefit and win-win can indeed create greater profits. There are knowledgeable people within the Mechanicus who have proposed this idea, but the prerequisite is that there must be a leader with sufficient strength and prestige to drive the creation of a positive cycle.

The existing treasure trove of science and technology is open to all seekers of knowledge, and the participating researchers can exchange and contribute their own treasures. In this cycle, the database of the advanced technology community will become more and more complete.

However, there is no original sage like Roche in the Mechanicus who holds a large amount of Golden Age heritage in his hands. Even the Forge General does not have such strength.

What's more, people who have such thoughts will never become the Forging General. This position is originally reserved for the most capable and powerful mechanical teaching valve on Mars who controls the largest forging world.

It can be said that compared with Roche, all of their mechanical priests combined are complete paupers.

……

"There is actually a great and selfless Om Messiah believer like Sage Roshi in this world. Praise the God of All Things and Sage Roshi."

"There was no contract with harsh terms, no requirement for me to sell my body and soul, and no one forced me to hand over my research results and put his name on my results!"

The jubilant mechanical priests whispered to each other, and binary encrypted communications flew everywhere in the space. They cheered that a smooth and fair road to heaven had appeared before their eyes, and they were fortunate to be the first registered users of the advanced technology community.

The treasure of Om Messiah is at the end of this road, within easy reach.

All the mechanical priests present, if they are willing, can sign a contract with the Advanced Technology Community and become officially registered users. At the same time, they can also obtain 5 initial contribution points given by the intelligent computer.

Relying on precious contribution points, they can freely choose and exchange the knowledge they need in Ganymede's intelligent database. Although 5 contribution points are just a drop in the ocean compared to those precious STCs and the most cutting-edge research results, it can still give people hope.

Before today, unless they were extremely lucky enough to dig up an STC fragment and use it as a token of allegiance to an academic elite in a certain field, they might never be able to access truly cutting-edge research theories in their entire lives.

"The key is that these contribution points can still be obtained through some means, and they can even be traded with each other."

Many mechanical priests who had little capital and ability were fascinated by reading the data tablets distributed by the intelligent computer, which recorded some civilian ways to obtain contribution points.

"Participate in the research activities of the advanced technology community, including but not limited to becoming a researcher, and contribute intellectual and time labor. The intelligent brain will automatically reward contribution points according to the time and workload."

"Join the Imperial Army and be responsible for maintaining warships or war vehicles, or rely on your own Skitarii to kill rebels on the battlefield. Contribution points will be automatically converted based on the merits you gain."

The mechanical priests' eyes suddenly turned red, and many of them even cried. The mechanical priests who had not yet replaced their electronic eyes shed tears, while those who had already replaced their mechanical modifications struggled to squeeze out a few drops of engine oil.

"Praise to Sage Roshi. Working in the Advanced Technology Community, they can actually get contribution points as a reward for their labor. Shouldn't we charge them a [knowledge tax] and exploit them instead?"

This is really very conscientious. After all, they are now learning from some prestigious and accomplished predecessors, and they need to hand over materials and resources to them.

Some mechanical priests, who had a considerable number of crusaders under their command, began to excitedly prepare for war. Since the heads of the rebels could be turned into contribution points, then wasn't this naked wealth? !

They themselves had an irreconcilable hatred with the rebels and the Dark Mechanicus. Because of those damn traitors, they were forced to leave their homeland of Mars and flee to Terra like stray dogs.

But now, they were secretly glad that they had come to Terra, otherwise how could they join such a conscientious organization as the Advanced Technology Community.

They are all being exploited, so why not be exploited and served by the higher technology community? It would be an honor!

"Colleague, why are you crying? Are you crying for joy? Is there something wrong with the external thought processor?" Some kind-hearted mechanical priests asked their companions around them in confusion. Although they may not have been familiar with each other before, it didn't matter. Now they were all members of the advanced technology community and were their own people.

The mechanical priest's emotions collapsed even more. He muttered to himself as if he was infected with a garbage virus, saying something that no one could understand.

"No, colleague. My mentor is Ezekiel Seidene. He has just sent us a communication request, ordering us to transfer the contribution points in our hands to him for redistribution."

"5 points. He wants all 5 contribution points?!"

"Ezekiel must be open source!"

The grease man in the genetics lab cursed madly in his heart, but Ezekiel Seidene was right there, so he dared not say anything.

The onlookers immediately looked at him with pity. Following such a mentor was really unlucky. Not only did they not get any benefits, but even the pitiful 5 contribution points were taken away from them.

The advanced technology community cannot possibly intervene in such matters, and they have no way of controlling it.

Ezekiel Seidene could have said that his disciples "voluntarily" handed over the contribution points to him. Could his disciples and apprentices still deny it?

"Praise to Sage Roshi, I don't have such a mentor." The mechanical priests chanted in their hearts, and unknowingly replaced the position of Ohm Messiah with the name of Roshi.

A prophet of the God of All Things who exists in faith and is far away does not seem to be as attractive as a sage who is right in front of him and can pay out real money for knowledge and technology.
