Chapter 39: Iron Man and Iyanden
"The Emperor's blessing!"
Taiyue drove the Thunderhawk gunship through the battlefield without any danger. Fortunately, the fighting Tyranids and Eldar did not pay attention to this inconspicuous Thunderhawk gunboat.
After arriving at the edge of Blackstone Fortress, the subspace negative energy turret opened a channel in the crack shield, and everyone successfully entered the interior of Blackstone Fortress.
The outskirts of Blackstone Fortress were basically occupied by the Tyranid Zerg. Under the guidance of Varda, Taiyue and others successfully bypassed the Zerg swarm and successfully reached the command center.
Nelson, Bruce, Varda and others were already waiting here for the return of Taiyue's mentor and brothers, and the military meeting began immediately.
Varda waved her hand and activated the psychic projection equipment in the command center, and the invasion status of various areas of the Blackstone Fortress was displayed on it.
"Master, more than 60% of the area of Blackstone Fortress has been invaded by Tyranids, mainly concentrated in the peripheral areas of Blackstone Fortress and unknown areas that cannot be monitored."
Varda frowned and then added:
"Although I can control the mobile buildings to slow down the Tyranids' invasion, over time these invaders will find the right passage, and not only the Tyranids, but also the aliens that have been hiding in unknown areas have also been invaded by the Tyranids. Driven to other areas!”
As Varda spoke, she magnified the psychic images everywhere. Aliens such as Urgul, unknown worms, and Kroot all fled the unknown area due to the invasion of the Tyranids.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, after the last expulsion operation, there are still so many aliens in the Blackstone Fortress!"
Nelson was speechless when he saw this scene.
"The Blackstone Fortress in Tianyuan Place is so huge, and the unknown area is not within Varda's monitoring range. It is not surprising that these aliens are hidden in the Blackstone Fortress."
Taiyue suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and he noticed a tall gray robot appearing in the picture.
The gray robot has the Empire's double-headed eagle logo and the number UR-025 on its chest, a communicator and a searchlight on its shoulders, and the weapons in its hands are an automatic cannon and a pneumatic nail gun.
There are many strange-shaped automatic machines beside the gray robot, such as spindle drones floating in the air and four-legged beast-shaped machines.
"It doesn't look like the Starfall robot of the Mechanicus, does it?"
Jerome said confused, noticing the gray robot as well.
Logically speaking, the Mechanicum's Starfall robots should not appear here, and the troops sent by Great Sage Caul to excavate relic technology had already left the Blackstone Fortress.
"No, it's Iron Man!"
After thinking for a moment, Taiyue suddenly said that he found that this robot not only consciously detects the surrounding situation, but also directs the actions of other robots around it, just like a truly intelligent creature.
In the golden age of science and technology, humans created robots with artificial intelligence. These robots served as human armies and workers and were called 'Iron Men'.
In addition to the Iron Man, human beings have also created "Stone Man" servants to serve their daily lives. Human beings call themselves "Golden Man", which represents their absolute rule over the artificial stone man and the artificial intelligence Iron Man.
For unknown reasons, a war broke out between the Iron Man who were loyal to humanity and the Iron Man who tried to replace humanity. It is said that the Eldar Empire at that time also joined the battle and finally defeated the rebellious Iron Man.
This Iron Man rebellion ultimately wiped out countless human lives and destroyed the unified human regime in the golden age of science and technology.
After that, humanity dispersed and declined, and only a few human regimes could stand alone in the galaxy. It was not until the Emperor launched the Great Crusade and established the Empire of Man that humanity was unified again.
This is also the reason why the human empire banned artificial intelligence, not wanting the tragedy of the Iron Man rebellion to happen again.
"Are you sure it's Iron Man?"
Everyone was shocked to see the almost extinct iron man or artificial intelligence on the Blackstone Fortress.
"Not only UR-025, but also the automatic robots around him are probably all artificial intelligence!"
Tai Yue nodded and came up with an even more shocking inference.
And he came to this conclusion related to Dragon Guard Sisera. Sisera's friend RM-31 is an iron man. RM-31 will disguise himself as a servitor of the Mechanicum when Sisera is guarding the Void Dragon. Or a general automatic robot learns what is happening in the outside world, and then informs Sisela of the news.
After Sisela became the supervisor of the Ninth Brotherhood, he once introduced the characteristics of the Iron Men to Taiyue in detail. They not only hide their identities to avoid persecution by the human empire, but also possess a high degree of intelligence, far smarter than ordinary humans.
"What now? Are we going to run away with a shipload of Tyranid Locusts and Iron Man?"
Bruce laughed at himself and said that he liked to liven up the atmosphere in a serious atmosphere.
"Has the origin of the Eldar fleet been determined?"
Taiyue changed the subject.
"Based on the world runes on this Eldar fleet, they should come from Yin Yangden's Ark World."
Nelson returned, and he went on to display a pattern found on many Eldar ships: the world rune of eternal fire burning under the torii.
The craft world of Yin Yangden drifts on the eastern edge of the galaxy. It was once the greatest craft world of the Eldar. The halls inside are busy and full of life.
Yin Yangden, the supreme prophet of the Eldar, retrieved the first spiritual stone from the Crone World. The Bonesinger allowed the souls of the Eldar to enter the infinite circuit of the Ark World, and the tribe warriors searched for and guarded the Virgin World.
They fought against the Dark Prince and his demons, keeping the corruption of the Chaos God away from the eastern part of the galaxy; they sent messengers to shuttle through the webway to contact other Ark Eldar, just for the dream of unifying the galaxy and rebuilding their homeland again.
But in the 992nd year of the 41st millennium, the Kraken Hive Fleet invaded the Yin Yangden Ark World, and thousands of Eldar warriors fell in the battle with the Tyranids. Nine out of ten or more Eldar were killed by the Tyranids.
When the Yin Yangden Ark World was completely collapsed, the exiled Prince Yin Lil led his pirate fleet to support them. They finally defeated the tentacles of the Kraken Hive Fleet and avoided the extinction of this Ark World.
After that, the Yin Yangden World was invaded by Chaos and Green Orcs again. The entire Ark World was on the verge of extinction and had become a gloomy and desolate Ark. The Nether Warriors became the core of the army, and the souls in the infinite circuit could not get peace and needed to join the battle at any time.
Hearing this, Taiyue pondered for a moment and made a decision:
"Let's not leave in a hurry. If the Yin Yangdeng Eldar defeat the insect nest tentacles here, I will allow them to land on the Black Stone Fortress!"
