After leaving this large warehouse, Soshyan went to check several other warehouses. Most of them contained individual weapons and vehicles. The weapons were mainly melee weapons and explosive weapons. The number was not large and scattered.
There are only more than 700 sets in total, and the number of vehicles is even less. They are basically flying vehicles such as Storm Bird and Flame Eagle.
This result is, on the one hand, due to the failure of part of the stasis field, which resulted in the natural damage of many equipment. On the other hand, the Eighth Legion did not have many customized vehicles at that time, which is also related to their combat style.
Soshyan doesn't feel much about these weapons now, because the weapons in the war group are already very, very abundant, and there are only a few things in them that can attract his attention.
One of them is the Mars-Omega deflagration gun, which is a favorite weapon of the Night Lords tactical support team in the Great Crusade era. Its characteristic is that it shortens the range, but gives the weapon a larger attack fan and terrifying
It has a devastating killing effect and can instantly clear the enemy's queue in narrow terrain.
There is also a detonation cannon exclusive to the Kent Ka Terminator. It adopts an upper and lower dual-link structure, but it is not heavy. The Terminator can be used with one hand, and it is very scary at medium and short range.
Finally, there is the Wutai Contemptor Dauntless, but Soshyan hopes not to use them in the future.
After finishing their journey to the underground secret warehouse, they did not leave immediately, but instead entered another hidden space.
This used to be Bangura's stronghold, used to hide his most important things, but after Mu Hu captured a "thing", he had to hand over control of this place.
It was only then that Soshyan decided to release his "friend".
After passing through a huge underground passage, a huge steel gate appeared at the end of the passage, then slowly rose, and the lights inside lit up.
The three of them walked into the hot hall.
Soshyan stopped after taking two steps and carefully looked at the machinery in front of him. Talos did the same. Only Bangura continued to move forward.
"Hello, friend, Bangura."
A mixture of mechanical and human voices sounded.
"It's great to see you again."
"Me too, Mercer."
This is a war machine with a height of nearly thirty meters. Its general outline is like a perfect ball mounted on a wide three-legged walking device. Its entire body presents a brand-new silvery white color, and there is a string of Soshyan signs on the side.
There is an unknown number. There is a small hole in the center of the sphere. Many silver metal tentacles protrude from the hole, dancing gently in the air, like a spiritual snake gathering momentum, and the sensor shield on the front of it is shining with a soft green light.
"Owner."
A joyful voice suddenly came from above his head. Bangura raised his head and saw a golden thing flying towards Soshiyang at an extremely fast speed, and then landed on the opponent's neck and hid it.
"That is......"
Bangura has always wondered what it is that controls Mercer, making an intelligent being left over from the Dark Ages helpless.
But Soshyan didn't answer, just smiled.
"Ask your friends."
Bangura turned to the combat machine.
"Mercer, what is it?"
"Creator......."
"Your creator?"
"No...it's...our creator."
Bangura frowned. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him if he asked, but at least he knew that Soshiyan also had a creation from the Dark Ages in his hands.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of.
Soshiyang, who was on the side after observing this combat machine for a long time, suddenly thought that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the ancient wreckage he saw in the underground ruins of Armageddon. Perhaps the war machines of humans in ancient times were roughly like this.
appearance.
"Bangura, how do you know it?"
"During an expedition many years ago, I found an ancient human relic and found Mercer in it. At that time, I was trapped underground due to a geological disaster, and Mercer was executing a wrong original order: to pursue
It kills all living things. I struggled with it for a long time before I found a way to cancel its order and restore its logical template."
Bangura said it was plain and simple, but it may not be easy to turn off such a mechanical command.
But Soshyan did not expose it, but smiled and said:
"So what do you think of it?"
"Then it was Mercer who rescued me from the ground. He was my friend."
"But you should understand that there was a reason why the emperor banned artificial intelligence back then, and you must also know the reason."
Bangura was silent for a long time, and then whispered:
"If artificial intelligence almost destroyed humanity, then they must be completely banned. Then when the Astartes launched a great rebellion and almost destroyed humanity, why didn't the Emperor destroy all Astartes?"
Talos laughed out loud.
"You really dare to say that you are not afraid that we will kill you?"
Bangura looked directly at Soshyan.
"I know that Chapter Commander Soshyan is a reasonable person, and I also believe that what I say is reasonable, so I dare to speak out."
Soshiyang looked at those fearless eyes and said solemnly:
"Not only that, you should know that artificial intelligence is too easily corrupted by the power of subspace, and once corroded, it will cause extremely serious consequences. This is the real reason why the Emperor banned them."
"I don't deny this, so if I see other intelligences I will destroy them without hesitation, but Mercer's imaginary enemy is the Eldar, and anti-psionic measures were arranged when it was created, so I never worry about it
It is corrupted by Chaos, and actually hates the Warp more than most."
Soshyan looked at the other party, was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled.
"What do you usually do with it?"
"Mercer is my friend, not my slave. I won't use it for anything. I will just let it help when I need to perform a large number of complex calculations and I don't have a suitable meditator array at hand."
"Then what are your plans for it in the future?"
"I will temporarily let Mercer help me monitor the data network of the entire planet and help it find its kind."
"similar?"
"Mercer once received a weak signal a long time ago. That kind of ancient signal can only be sent by its kind. The signal lasted for a period of time. Based on the trajectory of the signal, it speculated that it might be a starship, a ship, and a starship.
It's the same starship."
"A sentient starship?"
"You can say that for the time being, but it's not necessarily true. It's possible that you just stay on the starship."
Soshyan glanced at the machine. His gaze seemed to make the other person feel a little embarrassed. The metal tentacles kept moving on the sensor shield.
"What happens after you find it? If it leaves, won't you lose your friend?"
Bangura smiled faintly.
"We are friends, so I respect all Mercer's choices. If wandering in the universe with the same kind can make it happier, separation is not something difficult to accept."
Soshyan then nodded slightly.
"That's it. As a friend, I respect your decision."
