Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 96 Preparations for Encampment
"I only need 100 times, and only for demanding construction materials for the Warband planet!"

The sudden words made the still-frenzied Archsage Yuramirs freeze in his tracks. The tense atmosphere in the room slowly dissipated, like a deflated balloon.

"Wh...what?" She was a little incredulous for a moment and asked again uncertainly.

"I only need 100 times!" Tie Hui affirmed his words once again.

This silenced Archsage Yuramirs. To be honest, a standard Holy Warband possessed far more resources equivalent to it.

However, if we're talking about building materials or equipment, that's a different story. We can simply convert Throne Coins according to the official market prices of various equipment within the Empire.

Furthermore, these materials and equipment can be produced in any casting world, so their value is not very high!

While their current cooperation may seem to offer no apparent loss, in reality, converting all the resources of a standard Astartes Chapter into building materials and equivalent industrial equipment for a planet's surface would be a huge financial loss.

Even if you exchange for several times more materials and equipment, it's still a loss compared to the total resources of a standard Astartes Chapter.

After all, to paraphrase someone from the 2K era, "How much are bricks and cement worth?" (Our timeline has changed again; from now on, the 2K timeline will be the general guideline.)

"Speak, what other conditions are there?" The Great Sage Yuramirs agreed to the condition. But having lived for a thousand years, she was clearly not a simple-minded person.

"Great!" Tie Hui exclaimed. For some reason, the smile and sincere look in his eyes gave the Great Sage Yuramirs a chilling feeling, as if he had become a herbivore being targeted by predators on the ancient Terra plains.

Tie Hui spread his hands and placed them on the table, then slowly stood up. His height of 3.2 meters, which he had grown over the years, exerted immense pressure and a sense of oppression on the five-meter-tall Great Sage Yuramirs.

"During the upcoming collection of the derelict spaceships, Great Sage... you and the technology you possess will serve us fully..."

Seeing the Great Sage pause for a moment, about to wave her hand to speak, Tie Hui immediately waved his hand, interrupting her, and continued, "We will not steal your existing technology. Furthermore, during our cooperation, you can handle all the knowledge and technologies you acquire and develop from us, provided that we also retain a copy. And we must have a successful product based on that technology."

Tie Hui smiled and asked the Great Sage Yuramirs, who was now in a daze, "Well? Do you agree?"

She began to suspect that they were spying on her existing technology. After all, what knowledge did they gain from us...?

That's a joke. What new knowledge could a crippled warband possibly have?

Although Archsage Ymirir was among the lowest-ranking Archsages of the Mechanicus, she possessed technological reserves of the Empire's publicly known technologies, as well as most of its industrial equipment and warships. Could a small warband possibly possess technology that would tempt her?
Furthermore, she can make subtle adjustments to these techniques, further improving production efficiency, and she also possesses several secret, top-secret techniques.

Even the orthodox faction of the Martian Mechanicus wasn't entirely clear on this.

These technologies include those from humanity's golden age and dark ages, as well as those from aliens and even chaos; she even attempted to combine and rearrange existing technologies.

This incident led other members of the Mechanicus faction to classify her as a radical.

But she doesn't actually belong to any faction. Moreover, the Tura Horon Forging World she controls is a completely independent forging world separate from the Cult of Mechanics.

The Mechanicus is a feudal system of governance, which allows for the existence of some independent casting worlds.

But the Empire is the Empire, and the Mechanicus is the Mechanicus. Even though she had separated from the Mechanicus, she still needed to maintain a public facade of loyalty and submission to the Empire. "I think, Great Sage, you would certainly disdain this," Tie Hui said, voicing her thoughts without wanting to elaborate further. "But this is a collaboration! After all, we've found such a large wrecked spaceship. We're entrusting it entirely to you! Asking for a little something shouldn't be unreasonable, right?"

The Great Sage Yuramirs nodded. "Indeed, not excessive!"

"Great! That's great!" Tie Hui laughed and clapped his hands, then had someone bring the contract over.

The Great Sage Euramils ​​glanced at the two copies of the parchment contract, then at Tie Hui, who was looking at her with an expectant smile. Finally, he murmured something in binary language and signed his name.

Tie Hui picked up his own parchment contract and looked at the signature on it with satisfaction.

mock up!

Once your basic equipment and supplies arrive and construction is complete, you'll be taken along to the next world.

Let's see if you're tempted then?
Don't wait until you've collected all the wrecked spaceships before you kneel down and beg me!
……

After the contract was signed, the Cult of Mechanics assigned a group of guards and explorers. The rest, including Archsage Yuramir, led the majority back to their own world.

She might have to live in the world of Sirix for several hundred, even thousands of years. This span of time is quite a long time, even for members of the Cult of Mechanics.

She had to coordinate all kinds of supplies, items she used, and the technology and personnel for mining the wrecked spaceships.

So her purpose in returning was to prepare these things, including the aid supplies that Tie Hui had requested. This was because Tie Hui had used one of the aid opportunities immediately after the contract was signed.

The equivalent construction materials and equipment for a standard Astartes Chapter is no small amount.

And the wrecked spaceship is still there; it's likely that nearly half of the power of the Tura Horon Forging World will have to go there next.

However, after obtaining the data from the Hillix system, the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

Two gas giants, with about a dozen solid moons orbiting around them. Three solid planets, one of which has become a completely barren wasteland.

However, there were once remnants of human structures on it, but they have all turned to sand. It seems that after the decline of human civilization, a war broke out here due to the lack of supplies, leading to the destruction of humanity on this planet.

There is another planet close to its star, whose internal iron content is almost 75% of its mass.

Nice planet!
She also applied to Ironbey for the planet with the remains of human architecture as a temporary base. However, she was refused. Knowing their nature well, the Great Sage Yuramirs could only helplessly offer to exchange three Lunar-class cruisers for ownership of the planet.

But who would have thought that Tie Hui wouldn't agree to that and would add some more demands at the last minute.

For example, allowing the Astartes to maintain a long-term presence on their planet and to excavate archaeological artifacts and technologies there. The Seraphim Chapter has priority in handling these artifacts.
