Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 163 Kaul Arrives
When the huge casting ark jumped out from Mandeville Point, Chen Xi almost thought that Kaul had really come in person.

It was not until he saw that the person who appeared before him was a Casting Sage with a normal body shape, rather than the Great Sage who was as big as a beast, that Chen Xi knew that the one who came was just Kohl's clone.

However, Chen Xi did not point this out.

Chen Xi knowing about the Primaris might not be a big deal to Kawl, but if Chen Xi knew that he was playing with clones and abomination intelligence, it would be no small matter.

In order to keep it secret, Cawl actually dared to drop an atmospheric incineration torpedo on the planet.

After all, Cawl had obtained the Primarch's permission and order for the Primaris Space Marines. If the matter were to be exposed, he could say that it was Guilliman who asked him to do it. If you have any problems, go to Guilliman.

Abominable intelligence? This is a topic that we really don't want to touch.

Simply put, even in the 30K era, if you were discovered researching abomination intelligence, the Emperor would come and kill you and chop you in half vertically.

The Crimson Accords are one of the few bans imposed by the Emperor himself on the Mechanicus, and can also be regarded as one of the few insurmountable bottom lines of the Empire.

Of course, over the past ten thousand years, there have always been some ruthless individuals in the Mechanicus who have studied this, and Cawl himself was one of them.

After all, the empire's ban at the time prohibited the repair or creation of machines that could think for themselves. If you found an ancient machine that could think for itself, it would be like finding a loophole.

(A thinking machine)

Also, it's not that Chaos will corrupt AI (GW never wrote this), the Empire does not research AI, it's just a ban from the Emperor himself.

Although there was a mechanical sage who spent a hundred years studying artificial intelligence in the M34 period and even established a school of thought, he was eventually dealt with by the Empire.

As for the Kanrian faction formed under his influence, although it has been passed down to this day, this faction has now been targeted by the Inquisition.

"Welcome, Great Sage Kohl!" Various thoughts were running through Chen Xi's mind, but in the end he suppressed his suicidal desire and just politely welcomed Kohl.

"Hello, Governor, I received the message you sent. I would like to know the authenticity of this matter and its specific ins and outs." Kohl did not exchange pleasantries with Chen Xi. He directly expressed his wishes.

"Of course, Great Sage. This is exactly why we invited you here." Chen Xi was already accustomed to the temper of the Mechanicus's mechanics, so he didn't beat around the bush with Cawl and directly asked Olivia to provide him with detailed data.

Kohl did not delay either. He quickly received the data transmitted by Olivia and then made a sharp explosion.

Chen Xi blocked his ears with two fingers and even used his psychic power. His expression was slightly painful, but the smile at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

This was understandable; after all, the greater Cawl's reaction, the greater the chance of his plan succeeding. "Without any special preparation, you performed Primaris transformations on seven half-dead Space Marines? And all seven were successful? Impossible! This is unscientific! Om Messiah, have I been mistaken? Have my students received the Om Messiah's blessing?" Cawl was already mired in intense self-doubt, muttering like Xianglin Sao, "Could it be that ancient relic from back then? But that can only preserve the physical body... I didn't realize it could grant the Om Messiah's blessing!"

What's wrong? Why can't I complete the Primaris transformation of a normal Astartes? What am I doing wrong?

"Great Sage, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go to the forge in the star port first? You can sit down there and think slowly." Chen Xi didn't intend to let Kohl continue talking here, so he took the initiative to interrupt him.

Kohl looked up at Chen Xi, as if he was really thinking about something, then he nodded and agreed to Chen Xi's proposal.

The group came to Olivia's laboratory in the forge. Before Kohl even sat down, he began to ask Olivia for more detailed data. He could see that the data Olivia had given him before were already sorted out, and what he wanted was the most original data records.

Of course, Olivia did not dare to disobey her teacher, and quickly brought all the data to Kaul.

However, at this moment, Chen Xi suddenly said, "Sage Caul, the seven Astartes who underwent the Primaris surgery are still on this planet. Would you like to examine them?
Perhaps seeing something in person might give you a different perspective.”

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Kaul nodded hurriedly. "Please call them over. I'd like to give them a thorough inspection! It would be best to go to my casting ark! I've brought a full set of inspection equipment."

"Okay, Sage Kohl, I'll go invite them right away." Chen Xi had been prepared for this and had communicated with the Weeper before, so there was no problem with this matter.

However, after sending the invitation and contacting them, he reminded Kaul: "Respected Great Sage, although this sentence does not make any sense, I still hope that you can pay attention to the impact when dealing with these seven Astartes.

A colleague of mine from the Adeptus Mechanicus, who is from the House of Discipline, will be arriving soon. Please don't cause any trouble that no one wants to see."

"An Inquisitor of the Mechanicus of the Discipline? Damn it..." Cawl's expression suddenly turned a little unpleasant, but he nodded and said, "I understand. I will be careful not to leave any obvious traces."

Chen Xi nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with Kaul's approach.

"Then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll go see if they've arrived." Chen Xi left Olivia's laboratory. Before he had taken a few steps, he saw Christen, Saria and other sages from Gria who had come together, as well as Tonya who could represent Mariupol.

(Female Mechanical Sage, believe me, her human content is no higher than that of a Night City legend)
A group of sages gathered in front of Olivia's laboratory, obviously they were here to visit the famous sage Belisarius Cawl.

"Everyone, the great sage Kohl is currently analyzing an important research project. If you want to visit him, please be patient." Chen Xi certainly would not let them disturb Kohl at this time, so he took the initiative to stop them.

Christen and the others naturally didn't want to leave just like that, but they also didn't want to be stopped by Chen Xi. So Christen asked, "Sir Chen Xi, may I ask what kind of project is Great Sage Kaul currently researching? I wonder if we can help?"
