Chapter 72 From Now on You Will Be the Oil Man!
With a clang, Ron threw the welding mask into the pile of parts next to him.
He looked at his masterpiece and was obviously very satisfied:
"Not bad, it looks like it, you will be a machine oiler from now on!"
Standing in front of Ron was a "person" wearing a rusty red hooded robe, with a skull iron mask on his face, scarlet electronic eyes, and an octopus claw-like mechanical arm on his back.
And the most conspicuous thing was the Imperial Sky Eagle logo that Ron had just welded on.
This image is not very similar to the technical priest of the Mechanicus, it is exactly the same!
"Governor, what is a machine oiler?"
Moss, who looked like a "technical priest" of the Mechanicus, scratched his head and was a little confused.
"The machine oiler is a member of the Mechanicus. They like to transform their bodies through various mechanical technologies..."
Ron introduced the Mechanicus to Moss in detail.
The Mechanicus is headquartered on Mars and is an important religious organization within the Empire. Its members have strong technical capabilities.
Although they are nominally part of the Empire, they are actually more like a country within a country.
They have their own exclusive technology, their own forge worlds, armies, and fleets.
Of course, like other organizations in the empire, they worship the God-Emperor, that is, Omnissiah.
They also believe that there is a "mechanical soul" inside all machines.
Because of the existence of mechanical souls, machines can be used.
The technical priests of the Mechanicus are responsible for most of the empire's scientific research, engineering, equipment maintenance, and industrial production tasks.
Another important task of them is archaeology, excavating the technology left over from the golden age of mankind.
After Ron explained, he looked at Moss and gave an order:
"From now on, you must play the role of a technical priest well and are not allowed to reveal your true identity to anyone!"
"Okay!"
"Adjust your voice to be a little cold and hoarse!"
Soon, under Ron's training, a technical priest named Moss, who was cold and worshipped machinery, appeared.
"I always feel that something is missing..."
He stared at it for a while, and then went to the pile of parts to tinker with it, and got a mechanical scepter and handed it to Moss.
This is more like it!
Of course, these are a bit rough.
Use it temporarily, and then Moss will slowly modify his body.
"This Governor officially announces that you will be the chief technical priest of the Royal Court District in the future!"
"Technical priest" is just a general term for members of the Mechanicus, which covers thousands of different roles.
Genetics explore the mysteries of biology; forgers make and repair war machines; logicians are responsible for processing various secrets and data information.
These are large categories, and there are many small and complicated categories.
For example, communication machine monks, thinking machine monks, technical shamans, three-creating wizards, etc.
Outstanding members in a certain field among them can obtain the title of mechanical sage.
Such as technical experts, metallurgical masters, alchemy masters, school masters, puzzle-solving sages, technical assassins, holy artifact maintainers, sacred seekers, etc.
Next are the saints, such as the highest-level saints-chief hermits, lords of doctrine, mechanical old masters, data predators, etc.
These people are often the casting directors of various casting worlds.
Are you a little dizzy?
You are right to be dizzy.
Ron was also a little dizzy, and didn't even know if he was right.
The structural levels within the Mechanicus were intricate, and the titles were used in a superimposed manner, in a state of constant change and complexity.
Just beginning to understand the structural levels of the Mechanicus, which were as tall and majestic as a building, was already far beyond the processing capacity of the human brain.
But in any case, with the technology in Moss's electronic head, it should not be a problem to become a saint in the future.
The title has been thought of, it is called "Old Mechanical Saint".
"Okay.
Sir Moss, let's go!"
"Praise Omnissiah!" Moss leaned on the mechanical scepter and said in a hoarse electronic voice.
Very good, I'm into the role!
Ron quickly took Moss out of the secret room.
From now on, Moss is a technical priest in the Royal Court District, with a special identity and residence, and a mechanical servant is arranged for him.
Then, Ron took Moss to a mechanical factory in the Royal Court District.
The mechanical factory was scattered with various weird mechanical parts, which looked abandoned for a long time.
He brought Moss here mainly to meet the former mechanical engineer of the Royal Court.
Although Moss has mastered the technology, it is still a question whether he can use it under the current conditions.
So he needs a special technician to assist him and help him make what Ron wants under the current conditions.
As soon as Ron and Moss got off the car, a mechanical servant came to greet them.
The mechanical servant was tattered and leaked oil everywhere. It was a little sluggish:
"Dear guests, please follow me..."
It guided Ron and others to a place and opened the steel door.
As soon as the door opened, a man who looked like a mechanical priest in a rusty red robe came out.
The man had slight traces of mechanical modification on his body, wearing a skull and mechanical claws.
He was extremely enthusiastic, even to the point of flattery:
"God of All Machines, Governor, you are finally here!"
Ron looked at the man in front of him named Sally Cole:
"You should not have done any research that you shouldn't have done, right?"
Cole was firm and shook his head:
"I swear in the name of the believers of the God of All Machines, absolutely not!"
Suddenly, Cawl saw Moss and was a little flustered:
"Could this be..."
The person in front of him was obviously a technical priest, and he, Sali Cawl, was just an impostor who had never been recognized by the Mechanicus.
As an impostor, he was of course panicked when he suddenly met the real one.
The Sali family to which Cawl belonged was once a member of the Mechanicus, and his grandfather was a radical exploration sage.
But because his grandfather's mechanical concept was too radical, even the radicals thought it was too radical.
This led to the members of the Sali family being deprived of their identities and titles and expelled from their forging world.
Later, the displaced Sali family came to the planet of Ers, and was treated favorably by the Grant family, who provided them with technical support.
The Sali family has always wanted to restore the glory of the family and continue on the path of machinery.
But they always like to study some taboo technologies, which caused a lot of trouble.
Especially in Cawl's generation, he has always regarded himself as a technical priest.
The so-called machine soul link technology almost destroyed the entire mechanical factory and the surrounding area.
But in view of the contribution of the Sali family for thousands of years, Ron spared Caul.
He only sent people to monitor him and prohibited him from doing any research until now.
Seeing Caul's panic, Ron felt funny, but did not expose him.
"This is Mr. Moss, a technical expert of the Mechanicus..."
Caul became more and more nervous. He turned out to be a high-level member with the title of Sage!
He greeted stiffly:
"Respected Sage, I, I am..."
Facing Moss's cold red mechanical eyes, Caul hesitated and could hardly speak.
Ron rescued Caul and pointed at him:
"Caul, the technical ascetic"
Moss stared at Caul and nodded: "Hello, Caul, may the God of All Machines bless us!"
Since Moss started to play the role of a technical priest, he has been talking nonsense, and from time to time he reads out a series of binary symbols.
But to outsiders, this is very Mechanicus.
"Praise the God of All Machines!"
Seeing that his identity was not exposed, Cawl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ron was not going to let Moss and Cawl know each other's true identity.
Let these two imposters keep pretending...
He planned to gradually rebuild the organizational structure of the Mechanicus through Moss and Cawl, and provide technical support for the Royal Court!
