Talos had mentioned the World of Forging with Soshyan a long time ago, the Broken Eagle War Gang, the main successor to the Eighth Legion's legacy, also inherited Ulanhuda's secret contact information from the Primrose.
Although Ulanhuda lived a good life with his unique technology for a long time after the Great Rebellion, their lives were getting harder and harder with a series of events such as the Tyron invasion and the Black Expedition, as well as the long-term activities of Death Watch in the Ghoul Star Domain.
Regarding their relationship with Chaos, Talos also specifically explained that it is precisely because they often move in subspace that the sages of Ulanhuda are actually far more vigilant about Chaos than any Dark Mechanical Cult.
Even they still don’t think they are part of the Dark Mechanics.
"There are as many stars in the sky as there are, the Mechanical Divine Cult has as many faiths as there are."
Maintaining the maximum patience, Soshiyan listened to the talk of the Rachi Bangula sage.
"Some people believe that the Emperor is the physical manifestation of the mechanical god, that is, Omnesia, and those who criticize them claim that the Emperor pretends to be their god to deceive their support, believe that the mechanical god is still buried under the sand of Mars, and some even believe that through technological products, they can one day get rid of all flesh and blood and become like the mechanical god."
Soshiyang hugged his hands and looked at the other person with a smile.
"Then what do you think about the relationship between the Emperor and the Mechanical Society?"
Rachi Bangula stared at Soshiyan through the black folded face of her eyes, as if she was discussing whether to answer this question.
After a long time, the other party replied with sincerity:
"Just talk about me personally, I believe that the Emperor is a great man, a superman with great ambitions, a completely rational and natural person. Many people think that his knowledge may exceed the sum of the Mechanical Divine Cult... But even with all these characteristics, I still believe that he is still a human being! His superb understanding of technology and his negative attitude towards superstition make the Emperor a brilliant beacon that guides the Empire and Mechanical Divine Alliance to the future. However, many people within Mechanical Divine Cult deliberately turned a blind eye to this, stubbornly ignored the proofs placed before them, and instead became more and more convinced of their blind beliefs, holding the dogma of decadent superstition tightly in front of their chests."
"Since that's the case, then what do you think of the God of Wanji? If you don't mind my asking."
Rachi Bangula did not answer immediately, but stood up straight, turned to one wall of the conference room, removed a ventilation switch on top with a probe that extended its fingertips, and then returned to the conference table.
"Captain Soshiyang, do you know what this is?"
"Of course, this is a switch."
"Then how would you describe him?"
Soshiyan looked at this technical "heretic" and felt that this was a very interesting person for the first time, so he chose to answer.
"I'm not a professional, I can only say that this is a simple switch, two metal pieces can connect the circuit when they are in contact and disconnect it when they are not in contact."
“How do you think it works?”
"Well, the two contacts are closed when they are in contact, with no space in between, which means that electricity can flow from one side to the other, and when they are open circuits because of the separation between them, they are open circuits, so the current cannot pass through."
"It's totally correct, it's a simple logic based on basic engineering and physics."
Rachi Bangula held the switch in mid-air and continued:
"Therefore, this switch is the simplest technical product we can think of, but those superstitious people who endlessly advocate the concept of the God of All Machines as the real god want us to believe in a certain divine mechanical will. They tell us that only by pleasing an invisible existence can this switch work, and that existence cannot be proved, and can only be believed by faith... I do not deny God of All Machines, but I believe it is a concept, a spiritual coordinate that inspires humans to fight with reason even in the darkness of desperate situations, rather than turning their minds to some illusory spiritual anesthetic when we are in trouble."
Soshiyang felt that this was going to be released, and the seven outside companies that cast the world would definitely open fire on the Eternal Loyalty.
Heresy, pure heresy, has become the fundamental doctrine of directly denying the Mechanical Divine Church.
But on the other hand, as a world that often travels through subspace, there is still primitive mechanical materialism inside it, which is also a strange flower in the Milky Way. To be honest, although Soshiyan is not very familiar with the theory of mechanical teaching, he has also heard of this idea that was once popular on Mars, but it has been a long time ago.
Or is it that these people among them no longer believe in the so-called gods because they have seen too many horrors?
Although heresy is heretical enough, it is not a good thing for Soshiyan. After all, he is not a believer of the God of All Machines, nor does he care about the religious arguments of the Mechanism. These people respect the emperor's attitude, so the two sides have the most basic consensus point.
Astart's duty is to protect the emperor, the empire, and the human race, but it does not include defending the teachings of mechanical religion, after all, it is their own life.
"But... your many actions have broken the red line drawn by the Emperor for you."
Soshiyan put a hand on the table and gently tapped the smooth tabletop with his fingers.
"Technical heresy is also on our sanctions list, you have to understand this."
"That's for survival... Captain of Soshiyang, I have heard some stories about you from some channels. To be honest, you must have used a lot of unconventional means to redevelop a nearly extinct war team into what it is now, right? In this dark galaxy, just survival is an extremely difficult thing."
Soshi raised his brow and glanced at Talos beside him, but the other party shrugged and said that he had said nothing.
"Then is also to survive by uniting with the Eighth Army and intervening in the Imperial Civil War?"
"Of course, we have no right to choose at all. Lord Talos should know better than everyone. The Night King is moody and any world that disobeys him will be completely exterminated. We are not arrogant enough to think that we can fight against the entire Astartes."
Soshiyang looked at the other person and suddenly smiled.
"You are so innocent about what you say, Bangura Sage."
"Captain of the War Chapter, I have no intention of shaping myself into an innocent person, because in the dark forest of the Galaxy, innocence means becoming cattle and sheep, we just want to survive, that's all... After the arrogant rebellion, we have never joined any forces against the empire, have never formed alliances with any alien race, and have not fallen into the dark side of subspace. I think these three points alone are enough to show our attitude."
