When Gray Wind recognized the emblem of the Holy Hammer Order of the Inquisition, he also recognized the Gray Gu flag of the People's Alliance Fleet. Immediately, the inquisitors' ferocious attitude towards the refugees subsided, and the menacing black ships The fleet quickly became friendly, and a gentle and cordial greeting came from the public radio.

"Hello fellow citizens of the Federation of the Human Federation, I am the High Inquisitor of the Tribunal of Terra, Aimecanthus. Under the orders of Lord Caul, the Founding General of Mars, and His Majesty the Regent, Guilliman, we are executing the retrieval policy. Contact person’s official business.”

The other party's tone was modest, his attitude was sincere, and every word and pronunciation of the standard High Gothic with a hint of Terran accent sounded like an opera rather than normal speech. It was obvious that this person named Emechancius was a native speaker. The popular Terran inquisitor has a high status in the Tribunal and even the Terran government.

"Emecanthus...?" Russell's eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to have some impression of this name.

"Because he is a big buyer of our artificial black stone. He digests about 17% of the black stone goods sold to the Human Empire. This man is very close to Mars. I also glanced at it when I read the financial report. Look at his name twice."

After a moment, Gray Wind quickly called up his personal information: "Aimecansius, a Terran-born inquisitor, was born in the 'Mississippi' family, a traditional Terran aristocratic family. His father, Erdoshan Mississippi, He once participated in the political struggle for the high-lord mobile seat. Although he was not selected in the end, being qualified to compete for the high-lord chairmanship itself shows how powerful he is."

"Recently, due to the return of Robert Guilliman, the original high lords were purged. Terra is in the midst of employing people. After a series of political struggles, Emecanthus's father successfully came to power and is the current Minister of Justice of the Empire. "

Russell became a little interested: "The son of a high lord? It's interesting."

Gray Wind retrieved the information about Emecancius's father: "Erdoshan Mississippi, the current Minister of Justice of the Empire, is conservative and beloved among the people for his generous and benevolent governance philosophy. Specifically, he only tortures and kills every day. 666666 Hive civilians were used for fun, and he killed fewer people than most Imperial officials, so he has always been known as a benevolent and kind person in the Terran government, and was therefore highly regarded by Guilliman."

Russell nodded with deep understanding: "He is indeed a kind person."

With such a kind and generous father, it seems that Emecansius is not a particularly radical judge.

This judgment is correct. In the sound array communication channel, the tone of Inquisitor Amy Cancius was very sincere: "We have no intention to hinder your actions, but these refugee ships hide the precious targets we are looking for. Mars needs the Untouchables now more than ever, just take them away and we'll be gone in a heartbeat."

"Can I ask you why Mars needs untouchables?" Russell asked: "Also, what's going on with the jump engine on your ship."

"This..." Emecancius was a little embarrassed: "The content you asked belongs to the highest level of top secret sealed by the original body. I am not qualified to leak it to the outside world. Sir, please don't embarrass me."

"Then let's get someone qualified." Russell said calmly.

"You!" Emecancius was furious for a moment. Russell's arrogant attitude made him furious. Even though he had been as polite and friendly as possible, why was the other party still so aggressive? Who does he think he is?

"If it weren't for the fact that the original body took the overall situation into consideration and ordered us to try not to conflict with the people of the Federation pseudo-regime, so as not to cause a civil war among humans and benefit the alien fishermen, how could I be so angry..." Emecancius said in his heart Gritting his teeth, but still maintaining appropriate social manners on the surface, he said politely: "Okay, I will connect to the Great Sage and let Lord Kaul talk to you."

"Kaul?" Russell was a little surprised: "Kaul actually came with you."

"It is not the Forge General himself, but a self-aware copy of him installed in the jump engine. The Meditator will make suggestions and judgments on some things based on Lord Caul's memory. This is by no means an evil artificial intelligence." Emekan Hughes said, connecting a special frequency band to the communication with Russell.

Russell nodded slightly: "It seems that this is how Caul controls the jump engine. It is indeed Caul's style. He doesn't trust anyone, he only trusts himself."

So Kaul simply installed a backup copy of his own consciousness in each Echizen engine.

‘Deteriorated Kaul’ connected to the communication.

Russell tried to ask Degenerate Caul about aether giant bugs, biological jump engines, and untouchables, but he only got very formulaic official answers. It was like talking to a rigid machine. No matter how he asked, he got the same answer. Always: The servants of the God of Machines will keep the secrets of the God of Machines.

It wasn't until Gray Wind revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he had a dehydrated starch electromagnetic heating device handed down from the 2K era that Degenerate Caul finally couldn't resist the temptation and gave up pretending to be a rigid thinker, revealing his greedy nature.

After giving the dehydrated starch electromagnetic heating device called the 'Toaster' to Deteriorated Caul, Russell got some progress on the biological jump engine project, as well as things about the untouchables.

"In order to analyze the secrets of the etheric giant worm, Caul mobilized the biological sages from all over Mars, as well as the lunar genetic priests who participated in the Astartes research and development project. The most advanced biological researchers of the human empire were led by the great sages. We worked together to dismantle every protein chain and base of the ether giant worm."

"Kaul discovered that Tyranid creatures themselves are unable to make physical super-light jumps. What allows them to cross time and space and distort dimensions is a special and powerful strange gene. The arrangement of that gene is neat and aggressive, and even It is even more...perfect than the genetic elements of the Primarch."

A small section of the project record was erased here, and several biosages could not accept the existence of more perfect creatures in the world than the Primarch, and tried to accuse Caul's research of heresy.

Kaur killed them all.

Research continues.

"It took a long time and a huge workload to isolate the complete gene chain named 'Dragon Lineage' from Tyran's huge genetic database."

"Kaul initially hoped to clone this mythical creature called the 'Ether Dragon' through biotechnology, but his attempt failed, so he had to settle for the next best thing, using genetic technology to transform other creatures to imitate the Ether Dragon. The process of splitting dimensions.”

"This time, Kaul succeeded. He connected 1,919 complete human brains to form a computing array, successfully simulated the operating principle of the biological jump engine, and achieved the first experimental physical super-light jump. This operation The array was named 'Brain in a Vat'."

"But the next problem came. The Chaos God was extremely hostile to the biological jump engine that could allow the human empire to escape from subspace navigation. After only a few trial runs, the first generation of 'Brain in a Vat' 'Then there were signs of Chaos contamination, and malicious offensive codes began to use the biological jump engine as a starting point, paralyzing the battleship carrying it, and an orbital starport on Mars was destroyed."

"In the end, Caul chose to import the 'Black Stone Obelisk' to the Human Federation and solved the problem of Chaos contamination by installing the Brain in a Vat in the 'Exorcism Death Zone' created by the obelisk array, but this move This has aroused doubts and suspicions from the Terran government - if our self-developed jump engine needs to rely on the protection of the human federation's black stone to operate normally, then what is the meaning of this so-called 'independent research and development'?"

Kaul felt that the high lord's proposition was reasonable. The transportation line was the lifeline of the human empire. Every cell of the biological jump engine derived from the dragon lineage must be completely in the hands of the human empire. Other things could be imported and relied on, but This is the only thing that cannot be compromised.

So Kaul gave another solution, one that could be achieved using the existing conditions of the Human Empire:

"Use the brains of the 'untouchables' to assemble the cogitator array and drive the biological jump engine."
