You must continue with your work immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's words left Kaul thoroughly perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no time for explanations. Right now, we need people with your talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden warmly clasped Kaul's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You keep working on that Machine Spirit Link... let's see this thing completed as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul had truly surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he described, the Machine Spirit Link was essentially an enhanced version of the network—an interconnected system combined with AI, all in one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since it involved machine spirits, it even had some metaphysical defenses against Chaos corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as long as he wasn't foolish enough to power it with raw Warp energy, the chances of it blowing up were slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Machine Spirit Link was so advanced, why waste time on a vulnerable network? Supporting Kaul's research was clearly the better path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor, are you deceiving me? Previously, you outright opposed my Machine Spirit Link research, calling it heretical junk...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden frowned. \"Did I really say that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul, still a bit indignant, insisted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember clearly. June 14th, four years ago, at 7:34 a.m., after a minor experiment mishap, you arrived and said those exact words, even banning the Salii family from all experiments...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden thought for a moment, vaguely recalling the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Kaul had blown up an entire workshop. Though it hadn't triggered a Chaos event, the explosion was far more powerful than this recent one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Salii family weren't so tightly bound to the Grant family, providing numerous invaluable technological services, he'd likely have faced execution a hundred times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But talent in technology was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Emperor Himself had to endure the reckless antics of those under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Magnus, for example. The primarch had shattered the Webway passageway that the Emperor had painstakingly worked to repair, allowing daemons to invade reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor had nearly ascended from sheer anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden forced a smile, fixing his gaze on Kaul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be mistaken, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Kaul, as stubborn as he was, quickly caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a stoic expression, he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, you're right. I must be mistaken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden didn't mind. He waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any case, your family's Machine Spirit Link Technology is highly valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I promise, on behalf of the Grant family, that the Royal District will unconditionally support your experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Machine Spirit Link is perfected, it will be deployed throughout the district.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul finally believed Eden's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technology his family had painstakingly researched for nearly a millennium was finally acknowledged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord governor, have you come to understand the greatness of the Machine Spirit Link Technology?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allow me to explain, 010101010111000001010101010...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, he began spewing binary code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, fully understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden nodded and shifted his seat a bit farther away to avoid getting splattered by any mixture of blood and other unknown fluids that Kaul's wounds might spew out in his enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Kaul calmed down, Eden inquired about the challenges in his experiment, seeing if he could help resolve any issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most troublesome problem was energy. The main Machine Spirit unit required vast and stable psychic energy as its power source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Eden could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to let Kaul harness the psychic energy of the mini-sun as the power source for the Machine Spirit core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy source would not only be stable but also controllable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything went wrong with the Machine Spirit core, he could immediately cut off the energy, forcing a shutdown or even destroying it outright. With the sun's psychic energy enveloping it, the Machine Spirit core's resistance to corruption would be further strengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden looked at Kaul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you had a stable psychic energy source and full support from the Royal District, how long would it take you to create a functional Machine Spirit core?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressing issue was whether Kaul could finish it quickly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his family had spent nearly a thousand years on this research, and Kaul had only recently developed a prototype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew how many years it might take to go from prototype to practical application?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden couldn't afford to wait that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Eden's inquiry, Kaul hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I'm not sure. It depends on whether I get the right inspiration...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden was dumbfounded—did he really lack confidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He offered a sincere suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all else fails, maybe seek a bit more... inspiration from the Changer of Ways, Tzeentch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul looked horrified. As the child of a tech-priest, he knew of Tzeentch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't even dare mention the name of such a forbidden entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Tzeentch was one of the Mechanicus' most despised and feared foes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tech-priests, nothing was more abhorrent than having someone tamper with their creations, inserting bugs and backdoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why Eden dared to say it... perhaps he was unique, with substantial backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kaul's nervous expression, Eden reassured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just kidding. Take it easy and focus on your research.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, it wasn't entirely a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tzeentch's influence was minor, Eden might still be able to cleanse and pull Kaul back from any corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Tzeentch was a true master of technology, genuinely providing the knowledge one might need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, of course, with some \"extras\" included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Kaul's device for extracting Warp energy could well have been inspired by Tzeentch—and it worked quite effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it had even helped Eden strengthen the mini-sun's influence on reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, Tzeentch, for your technical support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul wiped the oily sweat from his visor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such jokes should be kept to a minimum. The great Omnissiah would punish such disrespect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Salii Kaul, will never have any association withthat one.Such things are for the traitors of the Dark Mechanicum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I believe you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he gave Kaul an ultimatum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Royal District will meet any of your needs, but this support isn't unconditional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must show progress within six months, or your experiments will be banned again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little pressure was necessary; otherwise, who knew how long Kaul might keep tinkering or if he'd come up with some other dangerous idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether Kaul could produce a functional Machine Spirit core, Eden wasn't too worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he planned to bestow a blessing upon Kaul, enhancing his capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blessing would be well worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, advanced power armor and even starships would require Kaul's technical expertise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, back at his tower residence, Eden spent one million points of hope energy to bless Kaul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his psychic core, locating the essence of Kaul's soul, and infused it with the energy from the mini-sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Mechanicus workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak, creak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of grinding metal echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaul was flipping through a thick technical manual, a mechanical arm scratching his head as he pondered the Machine Spirit Link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a refreshing, invigorating scent of machine oil filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mechanicus bell tolled, accompanied by a complex and beautiful binary hymn.
