The Space Apes, of course, didn't mind Ovilia recording their technology; in fact, it was hard to say if these monkeys had any sense of technological secrecy.
To a large extent, they were actually similar to the Orks' 'I fink it works' mentality, only remembering what technology they possessed when they encountered or needed to use it.
Moreover, these monkeys, much like the Ork Mekboyz, largely couldn't comprehend the technology they were using; they only knew that it had to be done this way.
This was precisely the strength and terror of the Old Ones: inscribing technology into DNA, and after billions of years of inheritance, it could still function normally.
In fact, the Imperium also had applications of related technology, such as the famous Astartes; their Gene-Seed could inherit combat experience, and even the memories of previous Space Marines, which to a large extent was a similar principle of imprinting information into DNA.
However, Space Marines still hadn't managed to stably and naturally transmit their gene sequences like the Space Apes and Orks; artificial intervention was required.
(Correcting a classic rumor: 'All Astartes are castrated' is pure rumor and nonsense. They have reproductive functions and no reproductive isolation with humans, giving birth to ordinary humans, but Space Marine blood has a contraceptive effect.)
Because of this, even during the several months of field generator installation and modification, despite Ovilia using every method at her disposal, she still didn't gain any noteworthy insights.
However, regarding the Space Apes' already modified field generators, Ovilia did research some things that she claimed were quite inspiring.
Planetary-level field generators were, of course, not that easy to produce. Even if Ovilia claimed she could produce planetary-level field generators, she still started by installing city-level field generators first.
Ovilia produced a total of three sets of field generators and installed them at three different locations in the city of Rostov. Each set had three generators, totaling nine generators.
The protection level provided by a single generator was roughly equivalent to the strength of a frigate's Void Shield. When three generators worked together, the strength of the protection field they erected was already equivalent to cruiser-level protection and was sufficient to cover the entire city of Rostov.
According to Ovilia's design, as long as two of the nine generators were still functioning normally, the protective field covering the urban area could still be maintained.
And for every additional field generator, the strength of the protective field deployed over the city would increase.
Under normal circumstances, two of the three field generators in each set would be powered on and working, with one serving as a rotating backup.
When maintenance was required, it was only necessary to turn on the backup generator to shut down the working generator for maintenance.
It could be said that this system absolutely maximized redundancy, and when all units were powered on, it could withstand orbital bombardment for a long time, which was already quite powerful.
After the field generators were installed, the Space Apes also modified these generators, upgrading them into Ape Force Fields.
While maintaining the original defensive effects, energy consumption was further reduced, and they gained the ability to isolate Warp contamination.
Luka was very satisfied with this city-level defensive field. After the activation test, he praised Ovilia: "Excellent design. This system is better than most defensive fields I've seen. How did you manage to combine different field generators without them interfering with each other?"
In Luka's impression, most field generators operated independently. Even the Void Shields on warships and Titans, although there were multiple sets, operated similarly to a rotation mechanism; multiple Void Shields could not merge, but rather operated separately.
When the Void Shields of two Titans overlapped, their Void Shields would push against each other due to their immense energy, erupting in violent thunderous flares.
Therefore, Void Shields were usually arranged in layers like an onion, or a long string of Void Shields were set up separately.
"Field harmonics, an ancient technology I found in the data stacks of a Forge World. It allows two different fields to be combined by frequency modulation." When Ovilia talked about her work and technology, she appeared very proud and confident, even with a hint of smugness in her expression: "This is my exclusive technology. No one else in the entire Imperium can provide you with this modular field except me."
Hearing this, Luka, while complimenting Ovilia, also asked curiously, "Can this technology be applied to Void Shields?
If so, it might bring about a revolution for the Imperium, and I think the review of your Tech-heretic issue would also be more likely to pass."
"The technology I found was originally applied to ordinary protective fields. As for Void Shields…" Ovilia hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to study it before I can give you an answer."
Because Ovilia was previously exiled for being labeled a Tech-heretic, she had not been able to test this technology on Void Shields.
And there were no Void Shields on the Rostov II for her to test, preventing her from verifying the effect of this technology on Void Shields.
However, she was also very interested in it; as long as Luka provided her with Void Shields to research, she wouldn't mind applying her technology to them.
"No rush, take your time studying it. Anyway, for the Imperium, this kind of thing is always just icing on the cake." Luka was indeed not in a hurry; he merely mentioned it casually.
However, after discussing this matter, Luka's expression was slightly hesitant, but after a brief pause, he spoke: "Ovilia, could you provide some basic knowledge about field technology?
I hope to cultivate some people on Rostov; they might become new cogs, or skilled field operators and maintenance personnel.
After all, I can't always have the Adeptus Mechanicus Priests maintain everything, especially since your field technology is so useful; we can definitely try to develop new products to equip the army."
Although Luka's request was a bit strange, Ovilia considered it for a moment before nodding and saying, "I will try to compile some simple basic theoretical manuals. I will try my best to lower the reading threshold; anyone who has received the Imperial standard education should be able to understand it.
Any lower would not be suitable, after all, if one hasn't even received the Imperial standard education, you shouldn't expect such a person to maintain technical equipment."
"Okay, I understand." Luka had no objection to this; after all, illiterates only needed to know how to kowtow.
However, he then added another question: "Are you interested in spreading the wisdom and faith of the god of machines on this planet?"
