Mars.
Every Forge World of the Adeptus Mechanicus is the Imperium's most vital industrial hub, manufacturing various war machines, weapons, and technological equipment with highly efficient and complex production lines.
These worlds are the Core domain of the holy Adeptus Mechanicus, entirely ruled by their faith and technology, combining stc templates with advanced automation systems. The production lines of a Forge World are vast and orderly, filled with the hum of machinery and the roar of steam and fire.
Forge World production lines are typically located in colossal factory cities that may span the planetary surface, or even extend deep underground and into the atmosphere.
Countless conveyor belts, pipelines, and energy conduits crisscross between factories, transporting raw materials and energy to various production points. Factories have almost infinitely expandable tiers and structures, with industrial facilities operating from the planet's Core to its outer atmosphere.
Towering structures house gigantic furnaces and forging equipment, specifically for constructing and repairing massive war machines like Titans and knight mechs, while on the surface and underground, assembly lines churn out smaller armored vehicles, weapons, and Soldier equipment.
The production lines of a Forge World operate under an extremely strict hierarchy, with each stage functioning as an independent assembly line. All processes are divided into several main parts:
First, raw materials are transported from various parts of the planet or other celestial bodies to the factories, where they undergo smelting, refining, and processing to become high-strength alloys, plastisteel, and other materials. Giant alchemical furnaces burn day and night, transforming ore into industrial metals.
Second, different assembly lines specialize in producing single components, such as individual weapons, armor parts, or mechanical body components. Each production line is responsible for processing these parts with extreme precision.
Third, countless servo-arms and mechanical grippers rapidly assemble various components into complete equipment. Tech-Priests and robotic arms collaborate, using precision instruments to inspect the psychic runes and electronic components of every part, ensuring that each product meets the sacred standards of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Finally, once assembled, products are not immediately put into use. Every piece of mechanical equipment must undergo a ritualistic awakening process, where Tech-Priests use prayers, rune engraving, and electronic current stimulation to awaken the machine spirit, allowing it to perform at maximum efficiency on the battlefield.
Li Feng pointed at the indentured laborers and Servitors rolling steel below, and said to the Fabricator-General:
"Why aren't they wearing helmets? Your safety production awareness isn't up to par."
Li Feng then noticed the messy wiring in a corner of the factory.
"Look there, fire safety is substandard."
The Fabricator-General of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the various Wise Men followed behind Li Feng. The atmosphere among them was like a chief physician's rounds in the Japanese drama 'The Great White Tower,' with a group of resident doctors trailing Li Feng, taking notes on clipboards.
Li Feng's rounds now brought him to the Adeptus Mechanicus Academy on Mars, where a large number of Tech-Scholars were 'studying for postgraduate entrance exams.' These Adeptus Mechanicus students truly pushed themselves to the limit, with many even hooked up to nutrient drips while studying.
At this moment, Li Feng approached a Tech-Scholar who had just been resuscitated from a sudden heart attack due to over-studying. Li Feng came to his bedside.
"Where's his test paper? Let me see..."
Li Feng picked up the test paper beside him and looked at it with the Fabricator-General behind him... "This big question is wrong. The answer is 0.3, but he got 0.9. Even I, a liberal arts student, can see that... Also, this composite figure... Look, there's even a placeholder."
At this moment, the scholar slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Feng and the Fabricator-General, and said in a half-dead voice:
"messiah... can... can I still get a recommendation for postgraduate study?"
Li Feng looked at his paper... sighed... "Alas... let's secure your student status first, student."
"I still have an advantage in the comprehensive assessment questions..."
Hearing the other party's words, Li Feng took a 'course' of medicine from the Fabricator-General's hand. He placed a few books beside him... "'Xiao Xiurong' and 'Tang Jiafeng' must not stop, and this 'Principles of Numerical Analysis' must be studied on time. Huh? Who prescribed 'Shenlun' for him? Don't you know 'Shenlun' and 'Xiao Xiurong' will react with each other?"
At this moment, a Tech-Priest stepped forward and said tremblingly: "messiah, it's my fault... I saw he wanted to learn everything, so I..."
Li Feng's expression also became very serious, as if he was about to devour that Tech-Priest the next second... "What did he miss? What did you prescribe for him? You're telling an algorithm developer to go to the front end to learn painting? Do you treat trachoma with norfloxacin? Give him an enema intravenously! As for you, pack your bags tomorrow, don't stay on Mars. I suggest you go find the Tyranids and try to sell them Indian diet yoga."
...In the Adeptus Mechanicus's armor production workshop... leman russ battle tanks moved along the conveyor belt... Li Feng turned his head and asked the Fabricator-General,
"You heard I recently got an assignment for a training regiment, right?"
The Fabricator-General immediately became respectful: "messiah, if you need any equipment, as your servants, we are willing to provide equipment free of charge and dispatch the Skitarii to accompany you on your expedition."
Li Feng put his hand into his pants pocket and generated an stc template in his palm... When Li Feng pulled out the STC, the Adeptus Mechanicus people immediately knelt.
But a look from Li Feng made them half-kneel and then stand up again. Li Feng handed the STC to a Tech-Priest,
"First! I am not a god! And this is called science! Go, plug in the STC and build one for me first."
The Tech-Priest took the still warm STC from Li Feng's hand with both hands and immediately scurried to the manufacturing workshop... Soon, with the machines operating and the assembly line turning... A tank they had never seen before rolled out of the assembly line... It was the hull of a German Leopard 2A8 tank, but its Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore cannon had been replaced with an electromagnetic cannon of the same caliber, and the loading method changed from manual to a 4-second-per-round tail-loading system.
The power pack came from a 40K controllable nuclear fusion engine, and an excellent 40K gearbox, allowing for a top speed of 90 km per hour.
The main armor-piercing rounds were APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot) made of ceramite, adamantium, and depleted uranium. The hull was equipped with a force shield, hydropneumatic suspension, and an anti-gravity device. The hull armor was a composite armor made of ceramite, plastisteel, adamantium alloy, and other materials pressed together. Additionally, the upper glacis, turret, and hull sides were fitted with 40K improved 'Terra Fossil' heavy explosive reactive armor.
The roof was equipped with a 35mm unmanned autocannon with electro-optical lock, while the commander's hatch was fitted with a heavy long-barreled bolter round machine gun. The coaxial machine gun on the turret would just be a laser machine gun.
It also featured the best fire control and observation systems, ultra-clear thermal imaging, and a drone operating platform... The external hull armor was equipped with optical camouflage instruments, allowing for stealth.
(Ground warfare historical performance 40.3... This is using 2K concepts with 40K technology.)
When these Oil Men saw this tank, they all stood frozen in place. Li Feng immediately showed the joy of harvest and said:
"Why are you just standing there? Go take a look."
Hearing Li Feng's words, they uncontrollably stepped forward and began to gaze at and touch this divine machine. Especially when they opened the hatch and looked inside the vehicle, they uttered their first praise.
"There's air conditioning inside!"
"The seat in this cockpit looks very comfortable."
"And this powerful armor combination, these things called composite armor and explosive reactive armor, can be widely promoted."
Li Feng smiled, hands on his hips, happily watching these Oil Men praise his modified war machine. Suddenly, those Oil Men looked at Li Feng, and Li Feng froze... Their eyes seemed to say:
"You still say you're not the omnissiah!"
