The last books Calvin saw were not the same as the ones he came for.
He saw some unexpected gains in the bookshelves on the transparent wall outside the library.
At the end of Calvin's sight, there is a whole floor of bookshelves that looks unusual.
Their all-metal material and the book spines that reflected the metallic luster made Calvin know that these were a batch of books specially prepared for the Astartes.
This is a rare thing. After Calvin became a Gray Knight, apart from the demonic book, he had never seen what kind of books were prepared for the Astartes.
And the books in front of him, which were obviously prepared for them, made him feel the rare but real breath of life in him.
Yes, it is the breath of life.
Calvin was unwilling to call his life of service a life.
Because in his eyes, from the moment he woke up and became a Gray Knight, he no longer belonged to the category of civilians.
Therefore, for a person who was raised by the sacrifices of countless people of the empire and the most expensive currency of the emperor, Calvin had his own consciousness:
As a Gray Knight, he can live and live, but there is no life.
This is fundamentally different from other Astartes, because even the Astartes, as angels, have their own non-combat status and private time.
Private time, private hobbies, private aesthetics, private consciousness.
What does the above mean? It means that even as powerful as the Astartes, there are personal likes and dislikes.
In other words, if you cut open the appearance of these heavily armored, nine-foot-tall god-like warriors, the essence of their souls is still human.
At least, they still regard themselves as human beings in their subconscious mind.
They are not bad at the good and evil, black and white, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy that humans should have, and they have everything they should have.
Therefore, the shortcomings brought by these emotions are not bad either.
Perhaps these shortcomings are not a problem when facing aliens and heretics, but when their enemies include evil gods originating from subspace and capable of playing with people's hearts, their shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.<
/p>
Sora has a god-like body but no corresponding will, that's what they are talking about.
And if we continue to deduce this point of view, then the subsequent rebellion and betrayal will appear to be logical.
But the Gray Knights are different. They are born to face the chaos and evil from the subspace.
They must arm themselves with faith every moment and cannot slack off for a moment.
Whether it's fighting on the battlefield or training on Titan, the Gray Knights never have time for themselves.
In essence, they have given up their identity as human beings, the beauties of human nature and the shortcomings that come with these beauties.
They chose to completely give up themselves, embrace divinity and beastliness after abandoning human nature, and use inhuman cruelty to resist the pollution and corruption of the evil god.
As long as a Gray Knight can still realize that he is alive, then his will will only be prepared for the battle with the devil.
No rest, no sleep.
Their spirit and will are in a state of alert at all times, so that not even a trace of pollution can take advantage of it.
Are you tired? Maybe, but life is so short, and you should sleep forever after you die.
This is Calvin's idea, and in fact it is also the idea of all Gray Knights.
Therefore, death is liberation for them, so death is the completion and end of their duties.
It is precisely for this reason that the Holy Dreadnoughts of the Gray Knights Chapter, which also belongs to the Codex Astartes, are the rarest of all Astartes Chapters.
Because there are really not many Gray Knights who are willing to drag their broken bodies to fight for the Emperor again after a lifetime of nervous fighting against Chaos.
That is really too cruel for them.
Compared with such endless suffering, they have the right to choose eternal sleep.
Calvin turned away from this uninvited "trouble" and chose to walk towards his goal.
The trainee demon judge behind him also chose to stay away from Calvin after receiving a gesture with clear intentions.
The huge library is unexpectedly quiet.
Calvin never encountered a second person while traveling inward. Only servo skulls occasionally flew quietly in response to calls in certain spaces, indicating that there were more than two people here.
The architectural structure of the library is very exquisite. The designer seems to have classified it into independent spaces based on longitude and latitude coordinates according to different content orientations.
The size of each independent space is just right and enough for one or two people to read and study quietly again.
Within this overall structure, each independent space can be dismantled and ejected individually at any time.
This design once again made Calvin determined to borrow the book and leave, never reading here.
After he arrived at this area that was obviously prepared for the Astartes, he quickly found the summoning authority for the Servo Skull based on his experience studying abroad in the City of Vision.
But unlike the quick response he expected, the servo skull here did not start searching for books as soon as he made the request.
After confirming Calvin's borrowing authority and level, the other party first summoned the "colleagues" on the entire floor.
Not long after, these little guys who relied on miniature anti-gravity engines to float were working in pairs to carry out the books Calvin needed one by one.
A total of 150 metal-encapsulated heavy books were placed in front of the stunned Calvin through the hard work of 30 servo skulls.
"I was careless..." Calvin looked apologetically at the little guys in front of him.
He does not know the internal structure of the Mechanicus, so he does not know whether each of these servo skulls has its own consciousness, or whether they are all the bodies of a certain main consciousness.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But such an ineffective instruction obviously made him feel a little apologetic when facing these skulls, but he didn't know how to express it.
So, in the quiet air, Calvin looked at the skulls, and the skulls looked at Calvin quietly.
"This is so stupid..." Calvin patted his head.
So he selected the two books he wanted to read recently in the order he set, and then watched the little guys in front of him once again lifting the remaining books one by one in pairs.
Go back.
Having achieved his goal, Calvin tightened the books under his arm and walked out quickly.
The impression this library gave him was really bad, and in this cosmic environment where spiritual energy is the embodiment of spiritual power, if it feels bad, then it is bad.
An instinctive feeling seemed to tell him to stay away from this place as soon as possible, otherwise something bad would happen.
He strode away from the library on the ropeway he came from. It wasn't until he passed through the huge gate and watched the heavy door panel closing in front of his eyes that this strange feeling disappeared from his heart.
.
"Strange thing..." Calvin shook his head and put the matter behind him.
This kind of old ship likes to do such weird things, even the Gray Knight's ship is no exception.
This has nothing to do with the pollution of Chaos, otherwise the Geller force field detectors all over the ship would have discovered it immediately.
Even if it is a more secretive invasion, the purity marks and rituals that have been carried out throughout the entire process from the steel smelting process in the early stages of manufacturing will never fail to be felt.
What's more, this whole ship of Gray Knights are themselves the sufferers of the subspace.
"Invade a Gray Knights battleship?"
If you express this idea, the bloodletting demon will probably think you are heart-burning because of the sulfur wotou you eat.
However, this kind of thing has indeed happened many times to those warships that have served for too long in various fleets of the empire. However, after many investigations by all parties, no recognized results can be found, and they can only be classified in the end.
Making trouble with the machine soul...
On the surface, the priests and bishops of the Mechanicum have no objections to this.
Because this does increase the mystery of the Ohm Messiah in a certain sense in the empire, but only the almighty Ohm Messiah knows whether the binary language in the belly of the bishops and priests is cursing.
After leaving the library area, Calvin returned to his living area and began a new period of his life on the ship.
The concept of time in the subspace is chaotic and disorderly, but this has little to do with the crew members living inside the Supreme Order.
The true state of the Supreme Edict in the subspace, which is covered by the Geiger force field in every inch of the entire hull, is actually a bubble of the real universe floating in the current of the subspace.
The space inside the hull is the space within the Geiger force field, where the rules and laws of time and space are no different from reality.
Calvin, like all the crew members, adheres to the time accurately calibrated by Terra in the ship to maintain his schedule and training.
But unlike ordinary crew members, he needs to bear more responsibilities and obligations.
As one of the top five quasi-high-level personnel in the actual command sequence of this space city with more than 200,000 crew members in a fully-prepared state.
Whether Calvin wants it or not, he needs to be deeply involved in the command of the entire ship.
This doesn't mean that the whole ship really lacks him.
Rather, as a large military organization equivalent to one of our standard military regions, all staff officers and combat personnel of the Supreme Order are preparing as detailed as possible for various situations that may be encountered throughout the battle every second before entering the battle.
, a solid plan.
Of course, there will be issues regarding the orderly transfer of command positions when top command personnel are no longer able to perform their duties.
So even if the probability of it happening is slim, Calvin must spend at least 4 hours every day to understand the entire battleship's command and operation system and its principles from the middle-level staff.
This job is undoubtedly complex and heavy, but fortunately Calvin is not a pure newcomer.
The previous service experience on the Revenant Redeemer saved Calvin's quality of life on the ship at this time, preventing him from being entangled in these systematic tasks and affecting other aspects of training and learning.
