Chapter 643: The Corpse of a Cyberk
"A reply? Father, isn't this an order?"
Hearing this from Perturabo, Yingzhou couldn't help but chuckle; he looked at Perturabo and said in a gentle tone.
"How could it be? Just as I said, we are family; how could I possibly order you? No matter what choices or decisions you make, I will not stop you. As long as you do not do anything harmful to Human Civilization, I will respect your choices."
After a pause, Yingzhou continued.
"So, if you are unwilling, I will not force you."
"Father... let's go in."
Does this count as agreeing? It really is quite awkward.
Yingzhou brought Perturabo to the alloy gate of the Research Institute. After the blue light scanner swept over Yingzhou's face, the alloy gate of the Research Institute slowly opened.
As the alloy gate opened, Perturabo's pupils suddenly contracted; inside the twelve-meter-high experimental hall, there were all kinds of laboratories.
"The fields currently being researched by the Research Institute are mainly materials, weapons, and production facilities."
Yingzhou walked in front to explain to Perturabo, while Perturabo, seeing the surrounding environment, felt his heartbeat quicken a little.
He could conduct all kinds of experiments here, and he could also use the items he manufactured to change the lives of the residents of the Ninth Defense Zone!
Hearing from Angron that as long as his research was determined to be beneficial to the development of the Ninth Defense Zone after being used by a certain number of people, his research would benefit even more residents!
Thinking of this, Perturabo couldn't help but clench his fists, secretly cheering himself on in his heart.
Come on! Since Father trusts him so much, he must not let Father down!
Perturabo saw several researchers in white coats releasing energy from a purple crystal and shook his head slightly, saying.
"They are performing energy release? What a waste!"
After hearing Perturabo's words, Yingzhou asked.
"Then you can try a more efficient method when the time comes."
The two arrived at the office of Doctor Daoer of the Research Institute. At this time, Daoer was explaining the improved production machine to several researchers. Seeing Yingzhou walk into the Research Institute with a child, he waved his hand to dismiss the researchers around him.
Afterward, he saluted Yingzhou and said.
"Emperor, do you have any business with me?"
"Daoer, this is my child—Perturabo. He likes to research inventions that are beneficial to Human Civilization. I want him to be able to let go and do what he wants to do here. Please prepare a laboratory for him."
Hearing Yingzhou's words, Perturabo's breathing suddenly became heavy.
He silently kept Yingzhou's affirmation of him in his heart, then said to Daoer.
"I am Perturabo, you... hello, Mr. Daoer."
This was what his grandmother had exhorted him to say before he left today; he must not forget it!
After handing Perturabo over to Daoer, Yingzhou got up to leave. Before leaving, seeing that Perturabo had already started his experiment in the laboratory, he said to Daoer beside him.
"Perturabo's way of expressing himself might be a bit special. You still need to tell the others in the Research Institute to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
"I understand, Emperor. I will notify the other researchers."
Daoer followed Yingzhou all the way outside the Research Institute. At this time, Yingzhou turned back and said to Daoer.
"Daoer, I want to establish another organization similar to the Research Institute."
Daoer's body stiffened, but he didn't say much, just smiled and said.
"Emperor, you can decide such things entirely on your own; you don't need to tell me."
"No, Daoer, you misunderstood. Their responsibilities are very simple; they are only responsible for matters related to weapon research. You will be more inclined toward logistics research."
Yingzhou waved his hand and said to Daoer.
"Yes, Emperor."
After parting ways with Daoer, Yingzhou came to a former residential area in the Inner City. Looking at the dust-covered buildings, Yingzhou summoned 50 Tech-Priests.
"Omnissiah!"
At first, he was full of anxiety about summoning Tech-Priests. After all, he certainly needed the knowledge of the Tech-Priests, but if the other party showed uncontrollable behavior, he could not let them impact the current order of the Ninth Defense Zone.
It seems that when the Mechanicus reached an alliance with the Human Empire, the Emperor himself used psychic powers to show off a little, and was considered by some in the Mechanicus to be the incarnation of the Machine God, the Omnissiah. Yingzhou didn't quite understand this claim either.
But seeing how these Tech-Priests addressed him, Yingzhou felt relieved. It seemed that these Tech-Priests had not yet reached his inner red line, at least for now.
Previously, because a missionary misinterpreted his meaning, it led to a certain area of the Ninth Defense Zone excessively misinterpreting his intent, causing the residents of that area to believe that the faith of residents in other areas had deviated, resulting in several armed conflicts.
After having the Training Camp in the Outer City, the physical fitness and combat awareness of the residents of the Ninth Defense Zone had improved significantly, and there were no shortage of people getting injured.
Fortunately, Yingzhou had arranged for the Modian Iron Guard to be responsible for the stability of order in every area, allowing these armed conflicts to be suppressed quickly.
According to Angron's subsequent report, Yingzhou called the missionary of that area to see him. After verbal persuasion failed, Yingzhou had no choice but to erase this missionary and summon a new one.
Based on this lesson, Yingzhou believed that the stubborn thinking of some missionaries could very likely lead to greater hidden dangers to order.
Therefore, since then, Yingzhou began to pay extra attention to the missionaries, meeting them once a month and testing their thoughts for safety hazards.
Yingzhou changed more than 20 missionaries before the thoughts of the 100 missionaries became more normal; at least they wouldn't go around proclaiming that he was a god.
At this time, 50 Tech-Priests wearing red robes with obvious mechanical modifications to their bodies stood before Yingzhou, and Yingzhou stated his requirements to these Tech-Priests in a flat tone.
He also had several Modian soldiers following behind him hand over a corpse of a Cyberk to the Tech-Priests.
The result was as Yingzhou expected. After seeing some of the designs on the Cyberk, these Tech-Priests all expressed that they would carry out their work within the scope set by Yingzhou. In exchange, they needed Yingzhou to continue providing them with these Cyberk corpse materials in the future.
After all, the technology displayed on these Cyberks was still somewhat different from that in Warhammer; at least these Cyberks did not have anything like a Machine Spirit.
For this kind of relatively fresh stuff, these Tech-Priests would at least not get tired of it for a short time.
