Volume Summary, Next Volume Preview, and Leave of Absence Note

The title of the next volume is "What's Wrong with Space Robots!?", you know, Necrons are obviously a kind of space robot.

The volume opening quote is "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind," from "Dune." This sentence actually has two versions in the original work. One version is the most famous "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind," which is Paul's quotation, while the original sentence comes from the "Orange Catholic Bible": "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."

In terms of background, this is the commandment after the Butlerian Jihad in the Dune worldview, which is not to manufacture intelligent machines that can think. The Iron Men rebellion in the Warhammer worldview and the prohibition against artificial intelligence are largely based on this.

I think "Thou shalt not create a machine that thinks like a human" can be used to describe the Imperium after the Iron Men rebellion.

And the sentence "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind" is just right to describe the Necrons, because the Necrons are not the original Necrontyr. The true Necrontyr died long ago in biological transference, whether it was the body or the soul was destroyed, and the Necrons are just a group of machines that have partial Necrontyr memories and pretend to be Necrontyr minds.

Also, a coincidence, a few days ago GW released a new book... "Dawn of Fire: The Silent King," the content is about the Silent King and the Pariah Nexus. I hope it won't backstab my outline.

Then I'm taking two days off to see a doctor, organize the outline, and rest. V me 50.
