Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 131 Christen
Gria's technical team arrived at Maimai and Dusk's Sword-class frigate shortly afterwards.

The leader was a female sage with long golden hair, which was rare for an oil man. Seeing her appearance, Mai Mai and Mu Se couldn't help but complain in their hearts that the old man Huang must be a bitch, the smell was too strong.

But no matter how he secretly complained, Mai Mai took the initiative to stand in front of the group of red robes and saluted them, saying: "I salute the servants of the God of All Things. May the Om Messiah bless you. Welcome to the Gabbro. I am the wandering trader Mai Lin."

"Greetings to you as well, Mr. Rogue Trader." The leading female sage gave Mai Mai a gear salute before introducing herself: "You can call me Sage Christen, and these three are my attendants: Sage Serea, Sage Hemer, and Sage Muirseth.

Although according to the job titles within the Mechanicus, you should call me Archimandrite, but this title is too complicated for you, so you can just call me Sage.

In addition, please properly accommodate the Skitarii we brought with us. While we do not mean to distrust you, this is necessary for your safety."

The titles within the Mechanicus are extremely complex. Unless one is an insider of the Mechanicus, it would be very difficult for outsiders to understand the changes in their titles.

"Okay, Sage Christen." Mai Mai naturally didn't want to remember the titles that only the Mechanicum knew how to distinguish in detail. She smoothly addressed Christen as Sage as she had requested and said to them, "I have prepared rooms and a welcome banquet for you all. Would you like to enjoy the banquet first, or go to your rooms to rest?"

In response to Mai Mai's invitation, several sages exchanged information briefly, and then Christen spoke, "Since Your Excellency has already prepared a banquet, we would be remiss to refuse your kindness. Sage Serea and I will attend the banquet, while Sage Hemer and Sage Muirseth need to rest first."

"Okay, please come this way." Mai Mai took the initiative to lead the way and took the four people to the upper deck.

At night, in the captain's room of the spaceship, Mai Mai was discussing issues concerning Christen and his group with Mu Se.

"Master of the Mechanicus, if I remember correctly, this is the title of the Mechanicus's Royal Guard, right?" Although Dusk was not a Mechanicus player, he still had some understanding of it.

Mai Mai only nodded slightly at Twilight's words. "He's the most powerful person in the Forge World, second only to the Forge Director and Deputy Director. It's clear that even if the style of the world changes, the General Director still holds power."

"It sounds like they are in high positions, but do you think these people are really just here for technical exchanges?" Mu Se looked at Mai Mai and expressed his doubts.

In response to this question, Mai Mai just shook his head and did not answer.

They all knew that the sages of the Mechanicus were all powerful figures. It was not easy to see one or two of them at ordinary times, and it was even rarer to see several sages together.

Although an order for an orbital star ring is a big deal, it is not important enough to require the deployment of an entire technical team of sages.

In particular, the leader is a mechanical director, who is the top powerful figure second only to the casting director and deputy director.

"The Mechanicus's technical exchanges... I'm afraid they'll be talking about the General Cannon and the Titans," Mai Mai complained, but then added, "I think they might be more concerned with the star rings I mentioned."

"You mean they went there to build a stellar ring?" Dusk was stunned for a moment, but then he asked doubtfully, "But we don't have the ability to build a stellar ring! Even if we demolish the entire sub-star region, we can't gather enough mineral resources to build such a stellar ring, right?" "Of course it's not enough to demolish the entire sub-star region, but if we can mine materials from stars, then it may not be enough." Mai Mai had some guesses about this. He explained to Dusk, "The oil guys have found a technology called a satellite-borne particle excavator. Although they don't have this technology now, as long as they find this technology, they can dismantle stars and use stellar resources to refine mineral elements.

Although the amount of material needed to build a ring is considerable, it is nothing compared to the amount required to build a star itself."

"Then they must have this technology. From what you said, they don't have it?" Dusk was a little confused. Since the oil guys didn't have this technology, why did they invest so heavily?

"That's the problem. What is the purpose of Christen and this team?" Mai Mai couldn't make up his mind and could only think with a frown.

If the Mechanicus has already found this technology, then it is not surprising that Christen and the others have made such a big fuss.

But even though they haven't found the technology, they still make such a big fuss, which is really suspicious.

"Speaking of this kind of spaceborne particle excavator, is it something GW has written about?" Dusk suddenly became curious about this technology that could be used to repair star rings.

Mai Mai nodded and explained, "GW himself mentioned this in the introduction to the Wotan Alliance. This is human technology from the Dark Age of Technology. The Wotan dwarves brought it to the center of the Milky Way and used it specifically to dismantle newborn stars to obtain elements and energy."

"Holy crap, that sounds awesome! A mining machine that can dismantle stars!" Dusk immediately became interested in this thing and couldn't help but imagine: "If we had this thing, we could dismantle stars and build star rings. Wouldn't that mean we could rotate all the stars?"

"Humans in the Dark Tech Age should have really gotten the Stellaris script, but we probably can't play with it. This technology should only be possessed by the Space Dwarfs and the Mechanicus Headquarters on Mars. The Imperial Palace might..." When Mai Mai paused at this point, he looked towards Dusk with a look of shock and sudden enlightenment in his eyes.

Dusk also understood what he was talking about and showed a shocked expression.

The two seemed to have reached some consensus and chose to 'go offline' together.

The two people who returned to the 3K era opened their eyes and saw Chen Xi and 32 chatting on the side. Guterres seemed to have not come out yet, so the two of them directly checked the exchange list on the servo skull.

"What's wrong with you two? What are you looking for?" Chen Xi noticed their strange expressions and behaviors, so he asked curiously.

"Spaceborne particle excavator, Chen Xi, see if you can exchange for this thing!" Dusk said to Chen Xi a little anxiously.

"Why are you looking for this?" Chen Xi was a little puzzled, but still opened his exchange list and started looking through it.
