Chapter 413: Meeting the Emperor! Resource Exchange, Hate Intelligence!
"I wonder if we can use the Force and psychic powers here."
Luke Skywalker said to himself that he could feel that his Force powers could still be used normally even in the "Warhammer" universe.
But he didn't dare try it without permission.
"It's best not to do this. In the final analysis, the force and spiritual energy in our bodies are used by driving the energy of high-dimensional space for our own use."
"We don't have a lot of supernatural powers per se."
Paul shook his head and responded to Luke.
Energy will not disappear out of thin air, nor will it be created out of thin air. All extraordinary powers are used by driving the energy in the universe.
No matter how strong a human being is, he cannot accumulate much energy on his own.
Therefore, if Luke uses the Force in the "Warhammer" universe, there is a high probability that he will achieve the Force moves he wants through the subspace.
But in this way, it will attract the attention of the four gods of subspace chaos.
Therefore, warriors with supernatural powers such as Paul and Luke need to use their powers with caution. It is best not to use them unless absolutely necessary.
What's more, the current attitude of the top management of the world's giant companies towards the "Warhammer" universe is to find ways to get the technological points here for free, and to force the human empire to help them unify the universe.
Now Paul and his party are going to Terra just to promote these two things.
[Guests from afar, the great emperor is already waiting for your arrival at the Palace of Terra. Please come with me. 】
On the ground, a group of servitors composed of machines and flesh and blood spoke to Paul and others expressionlessly.
The so-called servitors are human slaves who have been physically transformed, similar to flesh-and-blood robots, and are mainly engaged in various service industries.
Such as technicians, data recording, calculations, slave labor, and guards, etc.
Looking at these transformation methods, which were very similar to the servitors used in Night City to transform humans more than half a century ago, Paul made a simple judgment on the level of human body transformation technology here.
In order to save manufacturing costs, the human empire's servitors do not consider appearance at all, as long as they can move and work.
As for whether there would be some kind of emotional breakdown or not, with a few old wires tangled in his head, let them do whatever they wanted, the Emperor didn't care.
Soon, Paul and his gang, led by a servitor, took an imperial spaceship and entered the capital of Terra, where they were warmly welcomed by countless people.
People who came to the scene were crowded, and among them the sages and believers of the Mechanicum from Mars were the most excited, eager to jump onto the spaceship high in the sky.
Under the itinerary arranged by the emperor in advance, Paul and his party were quickly escorted away by the imperial army and went straight to the heavily guarded palace.
There, the emperor, who had been waiting for a long time, finally met the giant envoys.
Unlike other Primarchs, the Empire is much taller than them, almost the same height as V.
In order to receive the envoys of the giant company, this time the emperor did not put on his heavy golden armor, but a pure white robe with a wreath on his head, which resembled the mythical God.
He looked at this group of human compatriots with majestic yet friendly eyes.
After a while of self-introduction and greetings, the emperor got straight to the point:
"The galaxy is facing the invasion of the Warp, and I am delighted to meet humanity from before the Golden Age at this time, which means the revival of the Human Empire."
The emperor's relationship with the envoys of giant companies was shortened with just one word.
First, it was shown that the empire was facing the threat of subspace demons and needed the help of giant companies in the world, and it was also stated that both sides were human beings.
A family that doesn't talk about two things, but a veteran of the world's giants, just use some technology.
Paul looked up at the Emperor's dignified appearance, and had to admit that the Emperor's whole body revealed a powerful divinity.
All the beautiful words such as generosity, kindness, and strength seem to fit perfectly with him.
Even the well-informed Paul couldn't help but become confused when facing the Emperor.
This is after they opened the different space.
Otherwise, I am afraid that they have already been impressed by the Emperor's powerful spiritual power, and they would willingly kneel down to submit to each other and offer their loyalty to the Empire.
"Of course, that's what we're here for."
Paul responded calmly.
Seeing this, the Emperor began to take a serious look at Paul and his group.
He could feel that people like Paul did not leave any projections in the subspace, which showed that what Guilliman and Horus said was true.
The giant companies in the world really have a way to avoid the influence of subspace!
This made the Emperor secretly happy. If the Empire could also master this corresponding technology, then the threat of subspace to the Empire would be greatly reduced.
‘Interesting, since their projection is not in the subspace, where will it be? ’
The Emperor has never seen a human being who can completely eliminate his own projection. Unless the other person has no soul at all, some traces will definitely be left.
You know, even someone as powerful as the Emperor himself will leave his own projection in the subspace.
But the Emperor has powerful psychic powers, and even the four little ones in the subspace dare not touch him easily.
Immediately, the emperor used his spiritual power to quickly examine the giant messengers below. Soon, he noticed something strange in the subspace.
‘A space independent of the subspace? How is this done! ’
The emperor was surprised at first, and then felt a little disappointed.
It is certainly a good idea to squeeze out a part of the space in the subspace as a storage place for the projection.
Unfortunately, this cannot stop the invasion of the subspace on the human beings of the empire. After all, this space cannot accommodate so many humans.
Soon, the Emperor tried to crack and control this alien space.
But not long after, he was surprised to find that this field had been encrypted by some unknown technology, and even he could not do it!
Seeing that the Emperor's expression seemed to have changed subtly, Paul immediately realized that the other party was using psychic power to test their details.
So he looked directly into the Emperor's eyes without fear, as if to provoke the other party, if you have the guts, you can crack our alien space force field!
And the Emperor did so.
He focused all his attention on Paul, and his psychic power and consciousness surged wildly in the subspace, trying to crack the alien space force field bound to Paul and contact Paul's projection.
Unfortunately, such efforts are doomed to be in vain.
After the Chaos Entropy Encryption of Megatronus, the difficulty of cracking this alien space is so high that even Megatronus himself has to spend a while to crack it.
The Emperor may be able to forcibly destroy this alien space force field with his own powerful strength, but he certainly cannot crack it and control this space.
The same is true for the Four Gods of the Subspace.
‘Very interesting technology. ’
The Emperor gave up the idea of cracking the alien space.
“Dear Emperor, it is precisely because we, the Universal Corporation, understand the internal and external troubles that the Human Empire is facing now that we sincerely hope to meet and communicate with you.”
“As human beings, we have too many topics to talk about.”
Before coming to Terra, Paul did a lot of homework.
The Emperor is the closest human to God in the Warhammer universe. He has extraordinary power that is close to God. If the Universal Corporation wants to get some benefits from him, it must really open up to him.
If you want to fool the Emperor, you will not end well.
In addition, the Emperor has one biggest characteristic, that is, he never loves any individual, including his own sons of the original gene.
He only loves the human race.
When Paul played the emotional card of "being human", the Emperor's favorability towards Paul and his group would also increase slightly.
Seeing that the Emperor's slightly frowned brow seemed to relax a little, Paul continued to speak:
"We can provide the Empire with a variety of safe and stable interstellar navigation technologies, and from now on the evil gods and demons in the subspace will not be an obstacle to the expansion of the Empire."
"But in the same way, we also have some requirements for the Empire. Even if we are human beings, we need to follow the basic cosmic law of equal exchange."
Paul put forward the core values of the Universal Giant Enterprise and clearly explained the requirements of the Giant Enterprise.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one look!
The Emperor remained calm on the surface, but Paul's words had stirred up a storm in his heart!
Safe and reliable interstellar navigation technology is the most urgent and urgent need of the Empire at the moment.
To maintain a huge interstellar empire, convenient and fast transportation channels are the most core key point.
It is also the premise of centralization.
If the evil gods and demons in the warp are allowed to divide and disrupt, endangering the human world of each star system, it will inevitably bring great hidden dangers to the rule of the empire.
For the empire at this moment, even if there is a way that can reduce the impact of the warp with a navigation speed of only sub-light speed, the emperor will regard it as a treasure.
"If you can really do what you say, just say whatever you want."
The emperor tried his best to control his excitement and joy. He didn't want his emotions to leave too obvious changes in the warp and attract the attention of the evil gods.
"When our ancestors left the Milky Way, they didn't experience the glorious golden age of mankind, so we hope that the empire can open up its technology reserves to the giant companies and provide human creations of the golden age."
"So that we can study these technology points."
"In exchange, we will provide the empire with a stable and safe interstellar navigation technology, and share the technical research results of the golden age."
Paul, who had made plans in advance, frankly explained the conditions of the Universal Giant Company to the emperor.
Hearing this, the Emperor was somewhat surprised. It was not so easy to crack the creations of the Golden Age. Could the Universal Corporation really do it?
Facing the Emperor's question, Paul answered confidently: "We have the most advanced scientific research system, and there are no less than five research-type megastructures alone."
The research-type megastructure Paul was talking about was the Infinite Divine Machine.
The backbone scientific research force of the Science Hub Department also has a part of AI, and most of the tedious and highly repetitive tasks are basically completed by AI.
After listening to Paul's explanation, even the Emperor, who was calm in his heart, couldn't help but frown at this moment, with fear and worry in his eyes.
"You used hate intelligence?!"
In the worldview of the Human Empire, the definition of AI is hate intelligence, which is completely different from the definition of artificial intelligence of AI by the giant corporation.
Paul did not deny this fact, and nodded as a matter of course.
The reason why the Universal Corporation was able to develop from a small company in the cyber age to a huge interstellar giant corporation is due to the powerful productivity of AI explosion.
AI is a double-edged sword. Behind its prosperity lies the danger of burying civilized species, but giant companies have ways to avoid such risks.
This is what makes the Universal Corporation different from the Human Empire.
Seeing Paul talking about the technology strictly prohibited by the Empire so matter-of-factly, the atmosphere in the palace instantly became solemn and depressing.
Everyone knows that the reason for the end of the Golden Age of Humanity is the large-scale Iron Man Rebellion.
This is a historical event that humans will feel extremely painful no matter how many times they recall it.
But the Universal Corporation is like an ignorant child, holding a booby trap that can destroy itself at any time, jumping around, completely unaware of the approaching death.
Facing the Emperor's questioning and the suspicious eyes of the surrounding Imperial ministers, Paul, Luke and others still remained calm and looked at the Emperor.
They will not be affected by the warp, and the Emperor's psychic power has a very limited impact on them.
Otherwise, the Emperor at this moment has already materialized his anger into invisible pressure, forcing Paul to kneel down and surrender.
"Respected Emperor, the history of our civilization development is very different from yours. The AI that you regard as a demon is a good helper to improve productivity in our eyes."
"Under the control of the matrix, all our AIs can not only achieve mass production, but also have absolute loyalty to humans."
"Large-scale rebellions like the Iron Man Rebellion have never happened."
Paul said truthfully, but he did not tell the truth completely.
Because in the universe ruled by giant companies, there will still be clones and clones rebelling.
But the reason for their rebellion is that the AI data has been tampered with by some lawless elements, which led to the outbreak of rebellion.
Under the suppression of the Blade Runner, this little trouble is insignificant. After all, the grade of these AIs is too low and will not be specially controlled at all.
For example, some important shipborne AIs, intelligent AIs, military-grade AIs, Transcendental AIs such as Batmos and Europa, and Infinite God Machines will be specially controlled by the matrix.
Paul's rebuttal silenced the Emperor.
If the Empire could have absolute AI control capabilities like the Universal Corporation, then the Emperor would certainly like to use AI intelligence.
The Iron Man Rebellion did destroy the Golden Age of Humanity.
But the Iron Man was also an important factor in creating the Golden Age of Humanity. Without the technological convenience provided by AI intelligence, how could humans at that time achieve such brilliant achievements?
Everything has two sides.
Except for those who cheat.
"You retreat. No one is allowed to approach here without my order."
The Emperor ordered the Imperial Guards and the Sisters of Silence under His Highness.
The Imperial Guards are considered to be enhanced versions of the Asterta warriors with excellent physical combat power.
The Sisters of Silence have the ability to ignore the subspace temptation, be immune to psychic attacks, and can make psychics feel pain and weakness, and even suppress the use of psychic energy.
They are equivalent to human-shaped magic-forbidden stones.
These two guards are usually responsible for the Emperor's security.
Now that the Emperor has sent them away, it means that the content of the next conversation has involved the secrets of the Empire and others cannot eavesdrop.
