The new star's arrival would trigger gravitational waves, disrupt stable planetary orbits, and potentially cause celestial collisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Vostroya, as an early hub for the teleportarium, required additional considerations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Squats had experience in this area and provided ample data for reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Techmarines used the Simulus Chambers to perform countless calculations, adjusting the fortress-class void shields deployed around Vostroya, its moons, the Symphony of the Sea, and the portal accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Ramilies-class star-fort in the galactic core region transmitted the final stellar parameters of the captured star, adjustments to the fortress-class void shield power settings were completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the third stellar month of 856.M30, the star, having journeyed a great distance, arrived at Vostroya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Vostroya were granted a collective holiday, outside of any festival cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machinery in all factories temporarily ceased operation. Only the planet's thirty-three Punisher-class reactors operated at full capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shining light of the fortress-class void shields resembled miniature suns, illuminating Vostroya's sky and the entire star system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Legion Fortress of the Shadows of Order, the Shadowhold, Martin of the Second Chapter walked along a passage shrouded in black mist between the main and auxiliary towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a junction where paths led down-left and up-right, he took the descending-left route for five steps, then at a three-way fork, chose the ascending-right staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This winding, serpentine passage, modified by the Techmarines and enhanced with psychic arrays by the Librarius, was like an endless maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin still remembered getting lost on these arbitrarily ascending and descending, irregularly placed stairs when he first reported for duty in the Honour Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he learned the Techmarines used a modular design; the stair arrangements were reconfigured daily, with the routes sent to the data slates of relevant personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist was a psychic array deployed by the Librarius to obscure vision and disrupt perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin proceeded, traversing over a thousand steps before reaching a platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the best stargazing spot within his patrol area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted the bronze telescope to maximum magnification and looked towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin found the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a star emitting an iron-gray radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin stared for a long time. Even as the star, under the tow of the Squat Fortress Ship, reached its designated position, he felt not the slightest tremor within the Shadowhold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing the telescope, he looked up at the brilliantly shining fortress-class void shields, thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Without them, the reception process might not have been so smooth.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Rosickiy entered the Primarch's palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the star has been towed to its designated position. No disruptive effects have occurred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth nodded with a smile, then turned to Arsena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done. Immediately conduct a full-spectrum scan of the star and formulate an exploitation plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, my Lord.\" Arsena accepted the order, then spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have received a request. The Mechanicum Magos, Arkhan Land, accompanied the Squat convoy. He requests permission to visit Vostroya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Nareth's black eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Arkhan Land is one of the most outstanding technical minds of this era, having unearthed numerous STCs.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If I can \"corrode\" him, that's another exceptional technical talent gained.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Though I already have the Magos Lian Ramilies and the Tech-Priest Malevolus, I won't complain about having more.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he readily agreed. \"Grant his request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring him to see me after his tour concludes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, my Lord.\" Arsena acknowledged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen work cycles later, after compiling reports from his aides, Arsena immediately went to the Primarch's office to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, calculations indicate the star has a radius of 752,000 kilometers, slightly larger than the star of the Sol system, placing it in the medium range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stellar density in the galactic core region is generally higher than in other sectors. Its mass is approximately 2.83 times that of Sol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It contains one hundred and ninety-two common metals such as gold, silver, and iron, and one hundred and five rare mineral deposits including tungsten, molybdenum, and rare earth elements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch's attendant paused briefly before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The star's subsurface also contains naturally occurring adamantium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Nareth's eyes brightened. As Vostroya's shipyards developed, the adamantium demands were becoming insufficient to meet growing needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New adamantium deposits would inject fresh momentum into the shipyards' development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally occurring adamantium was exceptionally rare. He only knew of Nostramo, homeworld of the Night Lords, having vast subsurface deposits of natural adamantium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mineral trade had brought immense wealth to Nostramo, but it was also the root cause of rampant murder, extortion, and other vile crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nostramo ranked quite high on Nareth's list of targets for plunder after the Triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am pleased with the Squats' gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deploy void particle excavators immediately to mine the stellar deposits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood,\" Arsena acknowledged, then continued. \"Magos Arkhan Land has concluded his tour and has arrived at the Shadowhold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring him to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Arkhan entered the Primarch's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth leaned back on his throne, his eyes fixed intently on Arkhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike most members of the Mechanicum who pursued the sanctification of the flesh through machinery, Arkhan possessed remarkably few mechanical augmentations, fewer than many acolytes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were bright, his white beard hanging before his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth knew part of Arkhan's reluctance for mechanical augmentation stemmed from his reverence for the Emperor as the Omnissiah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor displayed no mechanical augmentation; thus, Arkhan did not obsess over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Arkhan Land, let us see which is stronger: your faith, or my \"corrosion\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nareth pondered, Arkhan stood before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he made the request, he only wished to visit the famed Vostroya. He hadn't expected the Primarch to grant him an audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Nareth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arkhan, what are your impressions of Vostroya?\" Nareth asked, his gaze fixed on Arkhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vostroya is not inferior to most Forge Worlds, though it falls short of sacred Mars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I believe Vostroya still has considerable room for improvement. Efficiency could be further enhanced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth knew Arkhan was inherently proud and blunt, and did not take offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ferrus Manus once said the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since there is room for improvement, you shall stay on Vostroya. You will provide me with daily suggestions for improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arkhan was taken aback. He was about to refuse when he heard the Primarch speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before long, I will recover a formidable weapon created during the Dark Age of Technology. I believe you would be interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Arkhan's eyes shone. He recalled Lord Nareth had previously recovered several holy Templates. He immediately agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy the story, my p@treon is 30 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FDaoistJinzu\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","fdaeea7b795942e3b12420065db0e8f935edcf0582dc27880f4d2417f45704e4","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-464","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-462",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
