In the voice of the conductor, when the fleet approached Jupiter, Soshyan couldn't help but be shocked by the planet, not because of its colorful colors and huge, indistinct rings as a gaseous planet, but because of the surrounding
Those huge metal structures surrounding it.
Jupiter plays a very important role in the history of the Human Empire. It is well known that since the Emperor set foot on Mars, the human Empire's technical equipment and war machines, large and small, have basically come from the Mechanicus. However, the Lord of Humanity probably knows that eggs cannot be placed there.
A basket of principles, the people of Jupiter, the Void Clan, have been reused by the Emperor and given a lot of resources and technology.
During the Great Crusade, the Jovian Clan and their shipyards were known for producing many high-quality warships, thanks to the technology they protected even from the Adeptus Mechanicus.
It will affect the giant shipyards that only belong to the imperial organization - such as the Emperor-class battleship, Tyrant-class cruiser and Dominator-class cruiser are examples of the products of the Jupiter shipyard.
During the Horus Heresy, Jupiter was also the center of the Imperial Guard's third defensive perimeter in the solar system, commanded by Captain Alfrid of the Imperial Fists.
In the late stages of the Solar System War, the Iron Warriors led by the traitorous Primarch Petrabo occupied a large number of Jupiter's moons and orbital settlements. However, the Iron Warriors did not weaken the resistance of the loyalists, nor did they waste time in occupying the settlements around Jupiter.
There was no time to carry out systematic destruction, because the battle to siege Terra was already imminent, and even the Iron Warriors only hurriedly plundered some equipment and went to Terra to join the battle.
After the traitors were defeated in the siege of Terra, the Empire quickly recovered Jupiter and its moons during the Great Purge. At this time, there were even a large number of resisters protecting the Empire's important facilities, so most of Jupiter's magnificent shipbuilding equipment could be saved.
Save it.
From a distance, the space terminals and forges surrounding Jupiter look like a ring of steel. It is the largest industrial body in the solar system after Mars. It is dotted with residences, factories and forges. The energy of the entire ring world comes from here.
Radiation gushes from a huge planet, and most industries depend on the rich minerals of the planet and its surrounding moons.
Such a magnificent shipyard naturally makes Soshiyang yearn for it.
"If a shipyard of this scale could be built, the losses in the Maelstrom Expedition would be negligible, and the Chapter would not need to be controlled by various forging worlds all the time..."
After saying that, Soshyan himself sighed. This was simply a more beautiful dream than the emperor standing up from the throne.
"Actually, it's not that there is no chance. It just depends on whether you have the determination."
The sudden voice did not surprise Soshyan. He did not even turn around and turned his back to the visitor and said:
"I thought you were not interested in such 'mundane things'."
"Then you think too highly of me."
Wearing power armor and a helmet, Amnak walked to Soshyan's side, covering his chest with his hands, staring at the approaching Jupiter.
"How can I say it? I was once a king, and I was the wisest, most merciful, and most just king."
"Are you here just to brag to me about your past stories?"
"I just came here following my confused ambition."
Suoshiyang stared at the scenery outside the window and replied calmly:
"Then you've come to the wrong place. There's no ambition here."
“The greatest ambitions are often packaged as aspirations to save everything.”
"If you understand something just from some of my exclamations, then I can only say that you think too much."
"Then let's take it as such, but I can tell you..."
Amnak drew an arc forward with his finger.
"If you want to achieve your ambitions, you must be determined to have this power. In fact, you know that you are capable of it. You have broken off some chains, but not enough."
Suddenly, Soshyan chuckled, turned around and said:
"Did you whisper this into Horus' ears back then?"
Amnak was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I had no interest in participating in that incident at first. What I longed for was to defeat the strongest champion, or to put it more bluntly, I was born from the strongest desire to win, and you really think that everything is caused by the subspace.
What do you think will be the final result if the old enemy's blade cuts on someone like Dorn or Vulkan? This is the most ridiculous point. Human beings, including the original body, are always unwilling to admit one thing.
Horus's rebellion was by no means out of nowhere. Some seeds had long been rooted in his heart, and those who planted these seeds were none other than the former rulers and managers of this empire, named the Emperor and Malcador.
Of the two, you believe this, you know this better than anyone else..."
Soshyan frowned slightly and remained silent, but some of the scenes and fantasies that had appeared in his mind under Armageddon suddenly resurfaced in his consciousness like ghosts.
The angry Horus, the indifferent Jaghatai Khan, Alpharius who always wore armor without showing his true face, the helpless Malcador...
Questioning, quarreling, and eventually turning into conflict——
The most powerful demigods and the wisest sages seem to be unable to escape from the whirlpool called emotions.
Horus may not be able to appreciate the painstaking efforts of the Emperor and Malcador, so couldn't the Emperor and Malcador be aware of the doubts and confusion in the head of the Primarch? Or were they from the beginning——
If everything is a decision made for the sake of the overall situation, then when the decision itself destroys the so-called overall situation, everything seems so ridiculous, just like countless foolish acts that have happened in human history.
At this time, something that Willets said jumped into Soshyan's mind.
Human history is always surprisingly similar, but it will not simply repeat...
Perhaps this is the dilemma the Emperor faces?
"...If it is said that the corruption of primarchs such as Fulgrim and Lorgar is a trap of great destruction, then how should Alpharius, Curze, Perturabo and others explain it?"
"Okay, what's the point of talking about these old things? Tell me, why did you come to me?"
"In a prison on Saturn, there is something very important to you...or rather, there is something."
Soshyan's frown deepened.
"Explain clearly."
"A relic left by Xerxes, something that the original body of the Eleventh Legion discovered in the giant stone tablet in the Yemenga starry sky. It was a creation located in the extreme star field, the Attila galaxy.
He discovered it when he led the Legion on his first expedition and took away a very key thing. Xerxes was kept deep in the palace of Terra after his death. During the Horus Heresy, Malcador seemed to intend to
He used it, but was forced to give it up because it was too far away. Then he gave it to his men, the first members of the Inquisition, who took it to Saturn and placed it in a secret warehouse... It is now estimated
It has long been forgotten.”
After listening, Soshyan turned around, stared at Amnak, and asked a question.
