Chapter 579 The Power of Materialism

The Mechanical Ark is the largest and most mythical creature in the Mechanicus fleet.

They are not only the pride of the Mechanicus, but also the crystallization of technology and wisdom.

Each mechanical ark represents endless power, knowledge and spirit of exploration.

These ships are considered a core part of the Mechanicum's knowledge exploration program, and they travel tirelessly across the stars in a never-ending search for new knowledge and technology.

Their goal is not only to explore the universe, but also to reveal its mysteries and the technological heritage that the Mechanicus once lost.

Each mechanical ark is led by a respected exploration sage.

This wise man not only possessed outstanding scientific qualities, but also fearless courage and determination.

He will lead the crew across the galaxy to search for lost relics, ancient intelligent machinery, and any possible technological treasures. Whether it is a still functioning STC (Standard Construction Template) or other forms of relic technology, they are all what they are looking for.

What makes the Ark Mechanical so amazing is that it is loaded with the most advanced technology the Mechanicus has to offer.

These technologies include powerful engines, advanced navigation systems, and efficient energy supply systems. And the weapons it is equipped with are even more astonishing, even surpassing the strength of the Imperial battleships.

They have a longer range, are more powerful, and have significantly better defensive capabilities.

Specifically, a Mechanical Ark is usually equipped with a powerful nova cannon, four light spear arrays and two sets of weapon arrays.

The combination of these weapons gives the Mechanical Ark an unparalleled advantage in combat.

When the journeys of these rare ships were interrupted by war, they immediately demonstrated their amazing fighting capabilities and became formidable opponents in naval battles.

Even the Imperial ships sometimes pale in comparison.

The former Melo Heavenly Palace area, now the Empire No. 2 Rift.

In the boundless universe, a huge crack stretches across the void, like a hideous wound.

At this moment, a huge mechanical ark slowly appeared in front of the crack. This was General Karbo's mechanical ark - the Glory of the Machine God.

This huge warship is 20 kilometers long and is like a mobile mechanical fortress.

On the hull, there is a symbol of praise to the God of Machines engraved. The golden Imperial double-headed eagle logo and the gear logo symbolizing the Mechanicus are engraved on the front of the battleship, shining with dazzling light.

Unlike other Imperial warships, the Mechhanite Glory possesses the unique ability to travel faster than the speed of light, relying solely on its powerful engines without the aid of the Warp.

This advanced technology allows it to travel freely in the real universe without relying on dangerous and unstable subspace channels.

The Mecha Glory is not only incredibly fast, but also equipped with an extremely powerful weapon system.

These weapons are enough to easily destroy a star, making it difficult for any enemy to challenge its majesty.

In addition, the battleship is equipped with a powerful horizon machine that can drag the entire star system into unknown time and space.

At the heart of the Mecha-God's Glory lies Forge-Admiral Kalbor's battleship control room.

Carbone's huge body is surrounded by countless data cables. Through the connection with these data cables, he directly controls every detail of the battleship and deals with various complex situations.

Of course, these alone are not worthy of the title of General of Forging of Carlbo. Some creations from the dark technological age were also installed in the warship.

"Is this the subspace rift?"

Shockwave's sensor looked at the galaxy in the distance that was glowing purple, and then he asked a great sage beside him.

"Yes, there has been a rift between the real universe and the subspace, and the time and space in that area are becoming extremely unstable." The tall Grand Sage of the Mechanicus responded.

"How are you going to fix it?"

"Black Stone..."

As soon as Shockwave finished speaking, a mechanical voice sounded from behind Shockwave, and Carbon's huge body slowly moved forward under the control of countless mechanical limbs.

"Hail, my Lord!"

Several great sages made way for him and bowed humbly.

"Everyone, there is no need to be polite."

Kalbo walked forward and looked at the huge warp crack in front of him and spoke in a serious tone.

"Black Stone? What is it?" Shockwave asked puzzledly.

Kalbo replied: "Blackstone is a special mineral that contains powerful power. It is a powerful tool to restrain the warp. Its power itself can close the Great Rift and even the Eye of Terror."

After that, Kalbo arranged for several great sages to go to the top of the Glory of the Machine God. On the top of the battleship, there was a huge energy transmitter installed, which could emit the energy generated by the black stone, thus completing the arduous task of closing the subspace rift.

Kalbo continued to explain: "Blackstone is a very solid and dense substance. Its density is similar to that of metal, but its strength far exceeds that of the living metal of the Necrons. According to our previous battle reports, even the bombardment of the Space Marines can only leave a shallow mark on the surface of the blackstone. In order to mine this precious blackstone resource, we have paid a considerable price."

Carlbo stared at the black stone in front of him, a trace of awe and excitement flashing in his eyes.

Through the Empire's observations, no black minerals or ores with similar functions to black stone have been found so far. This means that the Empire's black stone resources are currently mainly in the hands of General Karbo and the Emperor.

"I wonder if the black stone in this world can be used..."

Forge-General Kalbo secretly rejoiced that he had once led a group of people to attack a Necron dynasty in the original Warhammer world and successfully seized all the Blackstone resources of the dynasty for himself.

Originally, the Necron Overlord wanted to negotiate with Karbo, but Karbo and his men used macro cannons to blast him away from several planets.

As for the remaining various underworld structures, undead warriors and the like, they were packed up and taken away by Carlbo and his men.

"Have you thought about the next combat mission?"

"Of course, we only need to build launch stations on the two planets around the rift, and then use the Glory of the Machine God as the center to launch the Black Stone energy at the same time, so that we can close this subspace rift."

The main reason why the Empire did not use black to close the Eye of Terror when Slaanesh was born was that Black Stone was extremely precious within the Empire. It became less and less with each use. In addition, the warp energy generated by Slaanesh was too great. Throwing the black stone in Kalbo's hand into the warp was undoubtedly like throwing a stone into the sea.

As he spoke, Carlbo picked up a power axe that was emitting blue electrical energy, and then slowly walked to the front of the battleship.

"Begin the attack..."

Karlbo gave the order slowly.
