In the real universe, the empire is still under the orders of Sivir and constantly sowing orc 2.0 reproductive spores on various planetary experimental fields, and when these orcs reproduce to a certain level, they will guide them to the subspace.

And after the Empire eliminated the Orcs, the Space Necrocy, as an extremely technologically advanced race, became the main target of the Empire in these years.

The first is the wonderful technology of the space necromancy, which the Empire has coveted for a long time.

The original members of the Mechanic Cult are now absorbed by the Empire's research and engineering departments, but their desire to dig up the graves of the necromancers in space has not diminished at all.

Moreover, under the influence of these former members of the Mechanical, the researchers in the scientific research departments of the Empire have long coveted the technology of the ancient race of space necromancers.

They had already submitted several applications to Sivir to dig up their graves, eager to reverse research new science and technology for the Empire on the bodies of those space necromancers, so that the magical power could be used by the Empire.

However, for various reasons, Siwell did not agree to the researchers' application.

Only a handful of scientific experts are able to lead an exploration fleet to excavate the tomb worlds with the support of the Imperial Navy.

For most researchers in the Empire, Sivir is only allowed to carry out various scientific missions on planets that were once left behind by the Mechonia and "gnawed" by the Mechnists.

Recently, however, Sivir finally relented and approved most Imperial Research Institutes or research centers to explore the necronomical world in space.

In Siwell's opinion, the current empire is undergoing a large-scale psionic awakening plan, and the threat of subspace to this plan has already made the empire a little anxious, and this is really not a good opportunity to take action against the space necromancy.

In the past, the Empire only attacked some space necromantic worlds on a small scale to meet some of the Empire's needs for scientific and technological research and resource acquisition.

At most, these actions will only have an impact on the system or a few surrounding galaxies, and for the entire Empire, these are not at all things that deserve special attention, and the local Imperial government and the military force stationed there can solve these troubles.

But now Sivir has agreed to most of the requested missions to investigate or explore the necromantic world of space, which covers almost the entire galaxy.

Every space necromancy discovered by the Empire is targeted by at least one research department.

With these Imperial research departments sending out dedicated exploration or research fleets, there will be countless space necrons who will not be able to sleep peacefully.

And when they are woken up, except for a few necromantic overlords who sleep badly, all the necromantic overlords will lead countless space necromantic legions under their command to teach uninvited guests who wake up and demolish their homes.

If the Empire truly angers the leaders of the various Space Necromancers, then the Space Necromantic Overlords or Space Necro Lords will completely awaken all the necromantic legions, war machines, and destructive machines in the Catacombs world they rule, and start a fierce battle with the Empire.

And judging from the number and area of the space necromantic crypt worlds in those research applications that Sivir has agreed to so far, once the space necrons launch a counterattack, it will almost mean that the empire will have to face almost all the space necromantic dynasties in the galaxy at the same time.

Even with the current strength of the Empire, it is difficult to guarantee that in the battles of these Space Necromantic Dynasties, it will not affect the other missions and plans of the Empire.

So why did Sivir agree to the researchers' request?

You know, in today's empire, if Sivir does not agree, no one dares to be dissatisfied and opposed. There will be no persecution or threats to make Sivir change his mind.

But Sivir agreed to the researchers' request, which could almost be said to have acquiesced in the Empire's war against the space necromancy.

Why?

The answer is simple, because it is good for the empire.

While a series of actions against space necrons may cause a lot of trouble, they are nothing compared to the benefits they bring.

Some may believe that the technology of space necrons will be of great help to the Empire, which is why the Empire will take the risk of implementing these plans.

But in fact, the demand for high-end technology in the empire is not high today.

For a well-fed person, even if you make him a full table, he won't be able to eat a bite.

Just a part of the empire's own technology, there are still many imperial scientific research departments that have not been fully understood. Therefore, reverse research on the technological creations of space necrons is not very helpful to the empire itself at this time.

However, although the empire has no time to eat now, the Manchu and Han banquets still smell very fragrant. How could the empire not have a single thought about this.

Even if you can't swallow it now, take it out of someone else's pot first and keep it for later. No one dislikes having a lot of technology.

In addition to technology, the reason Sivir agreed to the research missions for the catacombs of the space necromancers was for resources.

As mentioned earlier, the building materials and warships of the Space Necrons are usually made from black stone.

Through Belisarius Kaul's research, the Empire has discovered that this material has a manipulative effect on subspace. Perhaps the Empire will be able to find on the Blackstone the influence of weakening and blocking the subspace on the Empire's psionic awakeners.

In the Empire, all research missions related to subspace are highly prioritized at this time.

Therefore, one of the reasons why the Empire sent a large number of scientists and engineers to the world of the necrons of space was to provide Belisarius Kaul with more blackstone to study.

Moreover, a large part of these mined blackstones will be used as strategic reserves for the empire, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of studying the role of blackstone in the future, only to find that the empire has no use for blackstone.

And in addition to these, the space necromancy itself is also a sweet spot in the eyes of the Empire.

The psionic beacons built by the Empire in the five starfields of the galaxy are also a megastructure. This means that this will consume a lot of resources and time from the Empire.

And only after these megastructures are completed can the Empire's next psionic awakening project continue.

But there aren't many types of megastructures, but there are a lot of them. The Empire has done its best to build these megastructures, but due to the resources and engineering difficulty, the speed has not been able to go up.

Therefore, in order to speed up the construction of these megastructures, a study called the Living Metal Megastructure Project was completed.

Mining and processing rare living metals is extremely difficult, but the benefits of using these volatile metals successfully are immeasurable. Using living metal to construct a megastructure will greatly speed up the construction of the megastructure.

However, as it is said, this living metal is not easy to mine and dispose of and is very rare. So where do you get enough living metal to build a megastructure?

Space Necrons!

The body of every space necronomicon is made up of living metal, which means that every space necronomicon is a walking living metal mine.

How could the Empire allow these living metal ores with legs to slip out of their hands?

With every space necro defeated, you're one step closer to the completion of the Empire's megastructure.

The corpses of these space necrons will be transported by the Empire's transport ships to some casting worlds for simple smelting or refurnace. The newly exposed living metal material is then transported to the vicinity of the base site of the monostructure.

It can be said that in the future, every giant structure of the empire will be buried with the corpses of countless space necrons, or in other words, the giant structure of the empire is composed of the corpses of countless space necrons.

Jun Du did not see that in the huge structure, the bones of the dead were supporting each other.

And it's very gratifying that these space necrons, as a mechanical race, have something called the Rebirth Protocol.

When a Space Necrologist dies, or the processor is destroyed, he will be recreated in the Catacombs World or on the Space Necro's warship.

This means that the reserves of living metal of space necrons must be staggering.

In the crypt world of the necrons who have their brains asleep, the Empire can simply defeat them at a small cost, and then take away all the resources stored on their planets.

It was precisely because of this interest that Sivir would agree to the requests for research into the world of the Necromantic Crypts of Space.

...

...

While the Empire was preparing to take action against the space necromancers, the Psionic Awakening Project was actually still going on little by little.

But on a certain planet, an army of Sisters of Silence unknown to the Empire has contacted the Empire. They refused to accept this ritual of psionic awakening.

Because it would make them lose their footing.

The Sisters of Silence, also known as psionic nemesis or Sisters of Silence, are a radical monastic order with a long history of anti-psionic powers.

They are made up entirely of women, and all of the Silent Nuns are psionically isolated. Because the Sisters of Silence are recruited from the untouchable, they are a curse to the psionics.

The presence of the Sisters of Silence disrupts psionic activity, and they are also believed to be immune to the vast majority of psionic attacks. Therefore, the main task of the Sisters of Silence is to find and arrest psionics within the Empire.

The Sisters of Silence are both investigators and combatants, involved in all aspects of the mission to capture and transport psionics, and are members of the Black Ship Fleet.

They belong to the Star Court, which calls them the Investigation Department. However, there is only a symbolic subordination between the Silent Sisters and the Court of the Stars.

In fact, the Sisters of Silence are a fully autonomous armed force, reporting directly to the Emperor himself and the Imperial Commander. The Silent Nun and the Praetorian Army are known as the Emperor's two claws, and the Silent Nun is the one on the left.

During the Great Horus Rebellion, the Sisters of Silence participated in a number of major military operations, including the defense of the palace.

Perhaps their greatest achievement was the attack on Propecius, when the Emperor deployed a troop of Sisters of Silence to provide specialized protection to the attacking Space Wolf Legion.

Because of their untouchable nature, the Sisters of Silence can withstand psionic attacks from the defending Thousand Sons Legion, providing a solid shelter from incoming attacks. In the battle to prevent demons from ravaging Terra, the Sisters of Silence played an important role in the cyber war.

Unfortunately, after the Great Horus Rebellion, the Sisters of Silence fell apart.

The Great Horus Rebellion was ended in Terra, the Emperor was put on the Golden Throne, and the Sisters of Silence found themselves disoriented. Many nuns have been killed or exiled to eternity, forced to disperse and exile from this war-torn universe.

Suddenly losing the Emperor's leadership, they had to join other departments of the Empire to continue their service to the Emperor.

Among the stars, they hunt down fallen scholars and witches with an unquenchable zeal; Some nuns entered the Court of Astrology, while others were alone but still loyal, settling in the crowd.

On rare occasions, these psionic hunters have learned to suppress their anti-psionic aura, live with others and give birth to their own bloodline.

The term Untouchable was not coined out of thin air, as it was difficult for a Silent N who wanted to settle down to live in the same place for a long time because of this lineage.

Wherever the Sisters of Silence want to live again, people's disgust with the untouchable will once again displace them.

Of course, not all nuns are verbally abused or even burned at the stake for being witches.

Although it was difficult for the Silent Sisters to have children, their genetic sequences were passed through generations and spread widely among the human population. Many people believe that the Sisters of Silence have been dissolved or even extinct, but this will never happen.

That's right, the untouchable's special ability is due to a special gene.

Although the evidence suggests that it is not just a gene. The Emperor strictly forbade research on the issue of the untouchable, as research into the issue by a team of Automata and Imperial archaeologists in the early days of the Great Expedition ended in disaster.

The origin of this "gene" is unknown, and related theories include the results of human research in the Age of Dark Technology, the Alien Intervention, and even the adaptation of humans to the natural evolution of the subspace.

The consciousness of most sapient beings is connected to the subspace, and their mark in the subspace is often referred to as the soul. Psionics are extremely connected to the subspace, so their souls are also extremely bright.

However, the untouchable have no connection to the subspace, and instead, their brains will drive the subspace away from the real universe for some reason.

For any entity with a soul, the presence of untouchables provokes irrational unease and hostility.

To the average person, this feeling may not be serious, but to the psyker it is too strong to bear. Untouchables struggle with ordinary people, whose lives are often short and painful, and who are often marginalized in society.

After the end of the Great Horus Rebellion, the status of the Sisters of Silence deteriorated day by day, and became a mess. Presumably because the presence of psionic isolators can be uncomfortable, the Sisters of Silence were driven out of Holy Terra after the Great Horus Rebellion was ended.
