Forced to die just after becoming invincible in Warhammer?

He asked his sister another question.

"Another question, why not use the human brain?" The Iron Lord's voice was icy, as if it was filled with endless chill.

Lareo's heart trembled. She realized clearly that Perturabo never seemed to take mortal lives into consideration.

Previously, she had thought that Perturabo's protection of mortals was motivated by a quest for approval, praise, and glory.

But now it seems that things are not that simple. It seems that only blood relatives or people like parents can have some influence on him.

But she didn't express these thoughts.

"Because the human brain is too fragile, young children and the elderly will suffer immediate brain death after brain tissue removal. Even if a young adult successfully undergoes brain removal, even with proper care, their brain will deteriorate within two years and will be far less useful than an alien brain."

Lareo answered in an orderly manner.

"Then why didn't you include this explanation in your report?" Perturabo looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I thought you wouldn't consider the people we are supposed to protect into the scope of this research," Lario responded calmly.

Perturabo was slightly startled when he heard Lario's answer, and a barely perceptible complex expression flashed across his face.

After a brief silence, he slowly spoke, "It seems you have misunderstood me. Although I am the Primarch, shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading the Legion, my style may appear cold, but I do not disregard mortal life. Every citizen of the Imperium is the cornerstone of human civilization. How could I easily ignore them?"

Perturabo seemed to be explaining what he had just said.

Lareo was somewhat surprised. Perturabo's words contradicted her previous understanding. She bowed slightly and said, "I was inconsiderate and misunderstood you. However, in all your past dealings, I have rarely seen you show any particular concern for mortal life. That's why I have this thought."

Perturabo shook his head slightly, his eyes becoming pensive, as if lost in memory. "The cruelty of war has taught me that sometimes, in order to achieve a greater goal, difficult decisions must be made. These decisions may seem cold and heartless to outsiders, but everything I do, in the final analysis, is to protect the Empire, to protect every life in the Imperium of Mankind."

Lario nodded thoughtfully. "Now that you've explained it, I seem to understand a little. Perhaps I should re-evaluate your past decisions."

Perturabo's gaze returned to the report. "Well, in that case, when you discuss this with the specialists later, please fill in these details, especially the consideration of mortal life. Let them know that our research does not disregard life, but rather protects it with a longer-term perspective."

"Okay, I'll do as you ask. I believe the improved plan will be more convincing." Lario responded, feeling more confident in the advancement of this research idea.

The two continued to discuss other details in the report and plan the direction for future research.

Lareo's ability to read people's hearts was astonishingly precise. Every word she spoke seemed to strike the perfect chord with Perturabo.

In fact, the direction of this conversation was already within her expectations.

She knew Perturabo's temperament very well. Although he liked to be praised by others, he extremely hated the blatant compliments from people of lower ranks than him. He would feel flattery and disgusted by it.

Even when facing a fellow Primarch on the same level as him, overly direct compliments were not appreciated.

Therefore, when talking to Perturabo, one must show that one is slightly inferior to him in words, but at the same time, one must not be too deliberate. The right balance is a delicate art.

"This guy is so twisted and troublesome." Lario complained silently in his heart.

During the few short days she had been with Perturabo, she felt as if she had gone through countless trials of the complexities of human nature and was almost becoming the greatest psychologist in history, which was why she could handle communication with Perturabo so effortlessly.

"Just wait, wait until I've used up all your knowledge, your thinking, and your exceptional talents, then I'll take your information and kick you in the face."

Looking at Perturabo in front of him, Lario was full of complaints in his heart.

Despite the mad complaints in his heart, Lario still maintained a perfect smile and focused expression on his face and continued to discuss the research plan with Perturabo.

While echoing Perturabo's views, she skillfully steered the discussion in a direction that favored her own ideas.

"Labo, regarding the technical bottlenecks that may be encountered during the research process, I, Jiuling Liu Si Qi Ba 2 Xia, think we can learn from some of your ideas in military defense engineering.

Your ingenious design of structural stability and energy utilization in constructing a defensive line may provide us with new perspectives on how to connect alien brain tissue to biological wetware."

Lario brought up the topic at the right time, complimenting Perturabo's talents while subtly bringing him into the discussion framework he had set.

Perturabo was indeed drawn to her words and fell into deep thought. "Hmm... that does make some sense. The integration and optimization of various complex systems in military defense engineering does share some similarities with your research. Perhaps we could try to rethink the connection scheme from the perspective of energy conduction and information exchange."

Petula felt very comfortable during this discussion.

It is a very pleasant thing to talk to this blood relative of yours.

Lario: "..."

Chapter 360: Oil Man: Is there a pit? No? Yes?

In the crucial war to liberate the solar system, the Iron Warriors achieved a resounding victory with their outstanding performance in the Battle of Venus, thereby winning a very valuable reward - priority use of all advanced equipment of the Martian Mechanicus.

This reward was of great significance, and it quickly established a close relationship between the Iron Warriors and Mars.

Entering the Great Crusade, this close relationship deepened further, with Mars doing its utmost to continuously provide the Iron Warriors with a large number of advanced war machines and provide all-round technical support.

The Iron Warriors are even more powerful and their strength is fully demonstrated during the battle.

Moreover, Inkarati, as a forge world that was once liberated with the help of the Iron Warriors, has a deep friendship with the Iron Warriors.

In addition, many worlds such as Agrippina, Deimos, and Graeae also maintain extremely close relations with the Iron Warriors.

It is precisely because of these deep roots and close cooperation that the Iron Warriors have always been blessed with unique equipment and have never been short of it.

And Perturabo also maintained this relationship with great emotional intelligence.

Among all the legions, if there is one that can surpass the Iron Warriors in terms of equipment resource acquisition and related support, it is only the Ultramarines.

This was largely due to their Primarch Guilliman.

The Lord of 500 Worlds relied on his outstanding leadership and political wisdom to make many Forging Worlds sincerely submit to him, providing a solid resource backing for the Ultramarines.

Oh, I remember there is also Horus. As the first son of the Emperor, the Sons of Horus Legion he leads is also blessed with unique resources.

However, this was not due to Horus' own ability, but rather the Emperor's special preference for him, which gave the Sons of Horus many advantages in obtaining resources.

Lario was keenly aware of the huge advantage of Perturabo and his Iron Warriors, so he carefully planned and chose to approach Perturabo, hoping to use these resources to achieve his goals.

And Perturabo also began to act.

Recently, Perturabo has sent invitations to the Forge Generals of those Forge Worlds with whom he has a close relationship.

In the invitation letter, he expressed his hope to explore new technologies with them and promote the development of military science and technology.

These Forge Worlds responded to the call of the Iron Lord Perturabo.

After all, Perturabo was highly accomplished in mechanical technology and military strategy, and discussing new technologies with him was extremely attractive to the Forge World.

As a result, the forging generals of each forging world set out one after another and headed for the "Iron Blood" where Perturabo was.

Such a large-scale mobilization caused quite a stir and naturally attracted the attention of other Primarchs.

They were curious about what kind of new technology Perturabo was planning and what impact this new technology would have on the future war situation and the development of the various legions.

The person in charge of receiving these people this time was Barabas Dantioch.

Commanding the 51st Iron Warriors Expeditionary Fleet, he was favored by Perturabo for his exceptional tactical acumen and skill in constructing formidable fortifications.

Perturabo entrusted him with the important task of receiving the Forge World's Forge Generals, which showed his recognition and trust in his abilities.

Barabas Dantioch quickly and efficiently set about preparing for the reception.

With rich experience, we first carried out detailed planning for the relevant areas of the "Iron Blood".

The rest area prepared for the casting generals is decorated to be both comfortable and reflect the style of the Iron Warriors Legion. The simple yet powerful decoration reveals a pragmatic atmosphere everywhere.

In terms of security, he dispatched the most elite security forces in the fleet.

These soldiers have undergone rigorous training and have contingency plans for various possible emergencies to ensure the safety of the "Iron Blood" while the Forging Generals or Technical Priests are on board.

At the same time, Dantioch also carefully arranged a venue for communication.

Although he did not know the content of the technical discussion, he was well aware of its great significance and that the exchange venue must be equipped with the most advanced display and communication equipment so that all parties could share and discuss new technical concepts clearly and efficiently.

The venue is designed in an open layout, with a huge holographic projection platform in the center and comfortable seats around it, making it convenient for everyone to sit around and communicate.

As the Forging Generals boarded the ship one after another, Dantioch greeted them with standard yet warm etiquette.

He methodically guided the guests to the rest area for a short break and gave a detailed introduction to the upcoming itinerary.

The casting generals expressed their appreciation for the orderly reception of the Iron Blood and the thoughtful arrangements made by Dantioch, which set a good start for the upcoming technical discussions.

Of course, this may just be verbal praise from Jiu Ming Liu Si Lu Qi Ba Er Ba.

The most important thing about these casting generals and technical detectives is the technology possessed by Perturabo.

After the forging generals had a short rest, Dantioch led them to a carefully prepared exchange venue.

As soon as everyone entered the venue, they were attracted by the advanced and excellent technological equipment, especially some of the novel technological products that had never been seen before, which made everyone present excited, and the holographic projector was particularly eye-catching.

Lareo stood in front of the holographic projection platform and methodically briefed everyone on the general process and purpose of this technical discussion, then gave the stage to Perturabo.

The Lord of Iron walked forward with steady steps, his eyes like torches as he scanned the entire audience, exuding unquestionable majesty.

"Everyone, I invited you here because I need your support," Perturabo said in a low and powerful voice. "We need to explore new technologies that can give the Iron Warriors a greater advantage on the battlefield." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a series of complex simulations of brain structure and brain connections immediately appeared on the holographic projection table.

"This key technology is the human brain computer." Perturabo explained while using gestures to operate the projection, showing the various parameters of his ideal equipment.

The forging generals gathered forward, some with their brows furrowed in thought, while others were whispering to each other, clearly showing great interest in Perturabo's idea.

One of the generals from the Forge World of Incalati spoke first: "Your Excellency, Primarch, your ideas and innovations are indeed inspiring, but to achieve these, why not use clones? Wouldn't that be more cost-effective?"

Perturabo nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and another set of data appeared on the projection. "This is a computer built from the brains of cloned humans or cloned organisms. However, compared to other beings, they lack spirituality—what we call inspiration, that sudden burst of creativity. Your wisdom and experience are far beyond the reach of these clones."

The general from the Forge World of Inkarati nodded thoughtfully after hearing Perturabo's explanation. "Your Excellency, your insights are indeed unique. However, even if we use the brain, there are still many challenges in obtaining and preserving it. For example, how to extract it without damaging the vitality of the brain tissue, and how to maintain its functional stability over the long term are key issues that need to be addressed urgently."

Perturabo's expression was solemn as he once again manipulated the holographic projection, displaying a series of relevant research data and experimental ideas. "I've already begun research on this and have developed a special extraction device that uses magnetic fields and microcurrent technology to precisely separate brain tissue while minimizing damage.

As for preservation, by simulating the internal environment of the human body, a culture medium rich in special nutrients and energy supply is constructed to maintain the activity and function of brain tissue."

Other casting generals also joined the discussion, raising various insights and questions.

A general from the Agrippina Forge World said, "Even if we solve the acquisition and preservation issues, the core technology for transforming the human brain into a computer is how to ensure efficient connection and information exchange with external devices or ourselves. This technological gap cannot be underestimated."

Lareo added, "Generals, I've also done some research in this area. We can draw on existing neural interface technology and improve it. It can capture brainwave signals and convert them into digital signals that computers can recognize, enabling information exchange with external devices."

Everyone present was filled with doubts, and the doubts grew stronger.

They were all thinking: You seem to have all the technology ready, so why do you still need us here?

Wouldn't it be enough to just start researching?

Is Perturabo really a filial son?

It all depends on the Emperor's mood. If I had this skill, I would have shot all the lives nearby to death long ago.

Or is he really the Om Messiah who has appeared in the world and wants to share his technology?

But it's impossible.

Everyone present here is a shrewd person who has reached their current position. They know that things will not be so simple and there must be some hidden "traps".

However, as oil men, they had no choice but to step into this situation.

The knowledge that “human brain computer” technology brings is an irresistible temptation.

Even though they know that the road ahead may be full of traps, they have no choice but to go ahead, hoping to get a piece of the pie in this complex game while cleverly avoiding potential crises.

On the stage, Perturabo's retina precisely observed their every move.

He summoned them here after discussing it with Lareo.

Although the two of them have acquired all the sophisticated knowledge of technology, they still face many complex and difficult problems in realizing the grand vision of "astronomical human brain computer".

Each foundry world has different specialties, and its top foundry generals have profound attainments in different fields such as materials science, energy regulation, and precision machinery manufacturing. They can provide new ideas and solutions from a professional perspective to help overcome the remaining difficulties.

Large-scale research projects require vast resources, far too numerous for the Iron Warriors to bear on their own.

These forge worlds are rich in resources. Through this technological exploration, Perturabo hopes to obtain their support in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to promote the smooth progress of research.

Furthermore, Perturabo knew that such cutting-edge technological development would greatly enhance the strength and prestige of the Iron Warriors.

Involving the Casting Generals will allow them to be deeply involved in the project, which will enhance mutual cooperation when the results are applied in the future, consolidate the Iron Warriors' position in the field of Imperial military technology, and occupy a more advantageous position in the competition among various legions.

If this plan succeeds, it will be accompanied by endless honors and overwhelming praise.

Perturabo seemed to have seen the Emperor's approving gaze on him, and this achievement would be praised as the greatest creation of the Empire.

His name will also be engraved on the empire's eternal and immortal monument and recorded in history forever.

Even if the construction of this monument required the personal involvement of Rogal Dorn, Perturabo was certain that the Emperor would readily consent.

After all, such an outstanding achievement is worth using all resources to remember.

Thinking of these beautiful visions, Perturabo couldn't help but immerse himself in fantasy, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, as if the glorious future was already unfolding before his eyes.

"Then why did you choose to cooperate with us, sir?" A forging general from the forging world couldn't help but ask.

This sudden voice snapped Perturabo out of his reverie. Without hesitation, he responded, "That's because I have a deep friendship with you all. Furthermore, this research requires enormous resources, and I truly need your generous contributions. I hope you will be willing to support us."

However, this was not what Perturabo really thought.

He thought to himself that those of his blood relatives who were able to participate in this battle had very different personalities and it was difficult for them to work together.
