Master Boban Hayden stood before rogris.

"But now I know I'm wrong. Maybe that's why astat needs to communicate with the mechanical God. We all have great misunderstandings about each other... But you still put forward a problem for us, a problem that has plagued the mechanical God since the beginning of creation

The question of teaching. "

"I hope this won't cause you any trouble."

"From the extent of your physical preservation, the place where you were born should not be a world full of machinery?"

"Yes, I was born in a relatively backward world. People in my hometown still use the very primitive steam industry."

"So you only know that the emperor has come to Mars, but you don't understand its significance."

The priest took out the silver coil from under his robe and inserted it into the output socket on the wall. At the same time, the sphere on his head flickered, and a large amount of information flowed into his memory from the temple.

"The emperor came to Mars when he began to plan the expedition. At that time, we and Tara had long been sworn enemies, because the stupid tribe of the blue planet entrenched on the ruins of ancient technology, but knew nothing about it and didn't want to make progress... The mechanical teaching method overcame the chaos spreading in the old night, and our leaders understood that if we want to restore human beings as galactic hegemony The due status of the Lord requires the science and technology of the ancient earth. "

"I know that. The historical file in the War Regiment archives mentioned this period."

"Believe me, your understanding must be very limited. You just print dates and events into the cerebral cortex, but my mentor personally experienced those days. At that time, he stood at the highest peak of Olympus and watched the emperor set foot on the soil of Mars - he was a priest for 5000 years. He pulled the plug from the wall, slid across the floor and came to Rogers.

"The emperor shared his vision with us. He wanted to conquer the Milky way to benefit future generations, but if such a great dream comes true, he must get everything that weapons, materials, tanks, ammunition and mechanical education can provide... At the same time, he promised to protect Mars, respect our sovereignty over the casting world, and let six outstanding navigator families serve us specifically to make It is possible to send another expedition fleet... An unprecedented era of common prosperity with Tara came. When the emperor started his grand conquest war, it was not long before some science and technology priests regarded the arrival of the emperor as the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy of the arrival of the machine God. "

After listening, Rogers whispered:

"I see."

"In fact, not everyone believes this. Some people question this idea, Xuan said

He called this idea blasphemous and advocated that the mechanical God was still sleeping deep underground on Mars. "

"Where?"

Rogris frowned. There are too many secrets about Mars. Now he hasn't fully figured out how many relics there are under the layers of Mars.

"The labyrinth of the night... Yes, the labyrinth of the night. It is said that it is a mysterious and ancient labyrinth deep underground on Mars, covered by layers of puzzles and electronic traps. It was claimed that the mechanical God lay there immersed in the silver dream, which came to the surface through the red sand to guide us. During the period after the expedition, the differences in the church became more than ever before Hou Du became more obvious. Finally, Horus's rebellion led to further division. Zhan Shuai asked the high-level members of the church for help - promising to give them the lost STC system and the authority to study dark technology, but it turned out that this was just a lie. Although the rebels occupied Mars, they did not find anything in the night maze, let alone the mechanical God. "

When he heard this, information about the Martian rebellion immediately jumped into Rogers' mind.

Not long after Horus raised the Rebel Flag, Mars foundry general kalbo Hal also began to rebel openly, threatening the Empire's access to combat resources.

In response, Rogge Dorn of Empire fist ordered a company commander Sigismond and company commander Kamba Diaz to lead four veteran companies to protect the casting furnaces of eye world city and gamma world city, because these two places produce most astat weapons and armor.

With this star warrior force are some imperial army units, including 13 companies of Saturn square warriors and 4 regiments of Jupiter grenadiers, which are also commanded by the company commander of emperor's fist.

However, the operation was fiercely resisted by the overwhelming rebel forces affiliated to the mechanistic sect. The two companies led by Kamba Diaz encountered enemy forces a hundred times their own, while Sigismond's troops of the same size were against two whole Titan legions.

In the face of this crisis, imperial fist evacuated Mars. Although it abandoned the casting furnace, it also successfully rescued a large number of power armor and double weapons. The four veteran companies participating in the battle suffered heavy casualties and half of the war losses.

It was not until Horus defeated Tara that the rebels on Mars withdrew in a panic.

While rogris was meditating, master Boban Hayden put his cold iron hand on rogris' shoulder.

"So this is my answer. The emperor is the enlightener of mechanism. There is no doubt that he represents the will of the mechanical God. Even if he is not an incarnation, he is also a prophet. The prosperity of Mars and mechanism is inseparable from him. This is an undeniable reality beyond theology and philosophy."

"I..."

Rogris will not be able to fully digest these knowledge and ideas for a while, but he has broken some mysteries.

"... I see."

The priest nodded.

"May the God of machines guard you."

"May the God of machines guard you, master Boban Hayden. If I have a chance in the future, I will visit again."

After leaving the temple, rogris felt inexplicably light.

The priest had proposed to let him rest for a while, but he didn't want to delay the trip, because the journey to the casting Temple of Mareotis was about to begin. He didn't want to delay others' time because of himself, which was very shameful on Mars.
