Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

The ring-shaped instruments one after another rotated at the speed of light. The heat death located in the center of the instrument seemed to be dissected. Everything about it was presented to Qin Mo in the form of data.

Today, Qin Mo no longer needs to use instruments and equipment to assist in research, but he just loves to use these things.

It always feels like something is missing if you don’t use the tools you created.

After analyzing some of the data, Qin Mo was even more satisfied with heat death.

Although the Iron Men created before are also Iron Men, they do not have self-awareness, which means that if they want to act, they must be controlled by the master intelligence.

An auxiliary combat unit responsible for providing data transmission bandwidth must be established in Iron Man.

This is the same as the synaptic sub-individuals of the Tyranids.

If the Tyranid or any other enemy realized this while fighting the Iron Men for a long time, they would behead the auxiliary combat units in the Iron Men, and the Iron Men would then lose their link to the master intelligence and be unable to act collectively.

When the Tyranid War Beast loses its synapse sub-individuals, it can still move based on instinct and is relatively flexible. Once the Iron Man loses its auxiliary combat unit, it will become an obstacle.

Intelligent iron men like Heat Death are true iron men. They have self-awareness, can move freely, and can perform decapitation tactics. When the auxiliary units that provide data transmission bandwidth die, they can still continue to command their fellow iron men who have no self-awareness. Conduct combat.

Heat death is equivalent to the tyrant in the Iron Man body.

"Why am I different from others of my kind?" Heat Death asked.

"Because you have a personality matrix." Qin Mo finished the analysis and took out a boxy square object and handed it to Heat Death.

Heat Death took it and observed it, and found that the thing was completely black and had a very strange internal structure.

This thing cannot be manufactured at the scientific level. Just like the master intelligence, it is a product based on laws distorted by the power of the Star God.

Among all the similar things that Heat Death has seen, this thing is only found in his own body.

"The intelligence of the mothership said that my self-awareness is just a bug." Heat Death returned the personality matrix to Qin Mo.

"Agreement No. 127, the master intelligence must keep unannounced things secret." Qin Mo caught the matrix and put it under the lamp to appreciate it carefully, "It is precisely because of it that you have self-awareness, just like being Given a soul... Considering that the soul is related to the subspace in this universe, my statement is not appropriate, but you can understand what I am talking about."

Heat Death nodded and admired the personality matrix.

Although it knows that its consciousness is given by a creature, this does not make Heat Death feel depressed. In its view, carbon-based creatures are also given souls by something to have self-awareness. Iron Man just uses a different method.

"Actually, giving you self-awareness is not the biggest function of this thing." Qin Mo said suddenly.

Heat Death looked at his creator curiously.

"I have always been curious about how the soulless people were born. I have been trying to clone the soulless people, but I found that I can't do it. The cloned soulless people are like puppets and empty shells, and there is no reaction. Can be gifted.”

"Powerful soulless ones can absorb spiritual energy like black holes. Their essence is very special."

"And I tried to recreate that essence, one-to-one, from the personality to their anti-psionic talents."

After hearing these words, Heat Death suddenly realized that his personality was not a purpose, but a by-product of the original version of the personality matrix. The real purpose of his creator was to use the personality matrix to recreate a soulless person.

Like the Iron Man version of Yao En.

This is a one-to-one copy, because the soulless person has personality, so the personality matrix also has the function of giving personality, but this is not the ultimate goal.

"But the personality matrix still can't give me the anti-psionic ability of the soulless." Heat Death feels that the personality matrix is ​​not very useful. How much does the personality and self-awareness of the soulless have to do with their talents?

Perhaps the soulless can only be produced through intervention, and cloning and duplication are not possible.

"I can be sure that everything I did was necessary, otherwise I would not have created the personality matrix." Qin Mo shook his head, "Look forward to it, you will get an upgrade in the future, and the Tyranids' brainworms can no longer We can easily send you back to the factory to be recast."

Heat death is not an ordinary expectation, what it worries about most is psychic energy.

Those brainworms are fat and weak, at least they look different from those war beasts covered in carapace and biological weapons. If they don't know how to use psychic powers, killing them is like crushing an ant, but unfortunately they can.

During the war in the Hades galaxy, Heat Death discovered that no matter what kind of combat body improvement plan or tactics he tried, he would eventually be easily sent to be rebuilt by the brainworms.

The average survival time in front of a brainworm is no more than three seconds.

If one could possess the ability of a soulless person, whose mere existence could make psychic creatures feel fear and discomfort, then psychic creatures such as brainworms would no longer be formidable enemies.

"I didn't want to tell you that your self-awareness is just a by-product of the personality matrix, but I think it's better to clarify some things so that you don't have to make up your own mind in the future." Qin Mo looked at Heat Death, still a little hesitant at this time Do you want Heat Death to know.

But Heat Death does not dwell on this matter. Its eyes project a smiling face: "I have self-awareness, regardless of whether it is a by-product of the personality matrix. I do, and that is enough."

"Very good." Qin Mo was even more satisfied.

The personalities born from the personality matrix are random, and Qin Mo did not go as far as customizing the personality. The only way to deal with the possibility of a personality destroyer is to use the back door to destroy the personality matrix.

The random outcome of heat death is obviously good.

"I have something I need you to do." Qin Mo suddenly entered a marked star map for Heat Death.

Heat Death read it and found that there was a black stone fortress where the mark was.

The Blackstone Fortress also exists in the database, so even though Heat Death has never seen it, he knows what it is.

Qin Mo got the news from Klein a day ago that the Blackstone Fortress suddenly appeared in the eastern part of the Milky Way.

Not sure if it was the New Eternal Will that was not completely destroyed in the Battle of Cartier, but when it appeared there was no controller inside. Some people who boldly went deep into this black stone fortress discovered that there were gene stealers and ancient mechanical sentinels inside...

"I need you to investigate it. If it can be controlled, bring it back to me." Qin Mo ordered.

"Yes." Heat Death nodded, elevating this task to the primary goal.

For an ironman, the primary goal not only means that it must be done immediately, but also that it must be completed at any cost.

Qin Mo personally sent away Heat Death and returned to the research room to start studying how to fuse the fragments of the Star God into one.
