The launching ceremony of the first Starship-class ship was held as scheduled at the Mars orbital dock.
After completing the necessary ritual procedures, Osiris set off for the Encyclopedia Temple located in the Martian equatorial region.
As a high priest who holds the titles of Magos in both the fields of forging and exploration, he enjoys considerable access to data in the Encyclopedia Temple.
The Martian landscape flashed past the shuttle's porthole.
The vast, rust-red wasteland is crisscrossed with ravines, and the bottomless canyons, like scars on the surface of a planet, meander and stretch to the horizon.
The enormous foundry, like a metal behemoth, lay prostrate on the horizon, its towering chimneys constantly spewing out thick industrial fumes that formed streaks of gray-black clouds in the thin atmosphere.
Countless thick pipes and conveyor belts intertwine on the surface, forming a dense network, as if the entire planet were covered by a giant metal spider web.
The fusion reactor at the energy station emitted a deep blue light, dotting the reddish-brown background with tiny specks of bright color.
Transport boats shuttle back and forth between the factory area like worker bees, creating a busy yet orderly industrial scene.
In the distance, the spires of the Encyclopedia Temple gradually appeared on the horizon.
The towering spires are covered with intricate mechanical reliefs, and Gothic flying buttresses are marvelously combined with hydraulic transmission systems.
The outer walls of the main temple building are inlaid with huge gear-shaped decorations, each gear slowly turning and emitting a deep and regular mechanical sound.
The entire building retains an ancient sense of mystery while showcasing the unique technological aesthetics of the Mechanics Church, standing like a grand industrial wonder on the Martian desert.
The shuttle landed smoothly on the designated take-off and landing platform.
As Osiris' massive mechanical body stepped out of the hatch, he immediately sensed the dryness and metallic smell unique to the thin Martian atmosphere.
At the entrance to the temple, two rows of guardians stood in neat rows, their optical sensors simultaneously focused on the visitors.
"Identity verified." The array of thinkers at the temple gate emitted a synthesized voice, "Welcome, Magos Osiris."
The heavy alloy door slowly opened, revealing a dark and solemn interior space.
Osiris entered the main building of the temple and first passed through the front hall area.
This place displays many historically significant mechanical artifacts, from the most primitive steam-powered devices to sophisticated electronic instruments, showcasing the development of human technology.
Osiris stepped into the main data hall of the encyclopedia temple.
This is a vast space where a holographic image simulating the starry sky is projected onto a dome hundreds of meters high.
The hall was surrounded by countless data terminals, each with a technical priest reading or uploading data.
The air was filled with the smells of ozone and coolant, and the Thinker Array hummed as it operated.
He walked toward an idle advanced data terminal.
The terminal recognizes his identity, and the interface automatically switches to the access level corresponding to his permissions.
As a high-ranking priest who holds the titles of Magos in both the fields of forging and exploration, Osiris enjoys high access to data within the Encyclopedia Temple.
Thanks to his contributions from the warp drive technology, his account has ample data exchange quota.
The terminal screen lists downloadable knowledge categories: from fundamental physical laws to advanced starship design, from biological genetics to materials science, covering almost every field of human knowledge.
Each knowledge entry is marked with the required contribution value and the corresponding access level.
Osiris began browsing the accessible knowledge directory.
He first searched for research materials on the primordial particle, and then consulted multiple databases of physical constants.
Although he has not yet obtained the official title of Biological Magos, the system has already opened up the corresponding level of biological knowledge base to him based on his qualifications as a Geneticist and his experience in participating in the Imperial Fist healing project.
His mechanical tentacles moved rapidly across the control panel, accessing a series of professional documents in the field of biology.
From gene editing technology to organ cultivation protocols, from neuroendocrinology to gene seed stability research, a large number of professional documents have been included in the download queue.
Just as Osiris was focused on filtering data, a casting Magos dressed in a red robe approached his terminal.
The Magos' mechanical eye swept over the list of documents Osiris was browsing and emitted an interested electronic sound.
"It seems you have in-depth knowledge of the biotechnology field," the Magos said. "These materials are quite professional. I recall you were primarily in charge of the warp drive project?"
Osiris politely replied, "This is to complete the task assigned by the Primarch of Dorn. The Imperial Fist's gene seed repair project requires a more comprehensive theoretical foundation. Currently, we have encountered some technical bottlenecks and need to refer to more professional knowledge."
"Gene seed research is indeed a complex field," the wise man said understandingly. "I noticed you pay particular attention to literature on gene expression regulation. Is this the focus of the current project?"
"That's right." Osiris continued in a professional tone, "We discovered that the expression patterns of the genetic seeds of the soldiers in the Rapid Expeditionary Force underwent subtle changes when they were missing key organs for a long period of time. To solve the rejection reaction, we must start from the genetic level."
This answer is reasonable.
The Magos nodded and sent out binary code indicating understanding: "May Omnesia guide your research. If needed, I know several sages specializing in genetics who I can introduce you to."
"Thank you for your kind offer," Osiris replied. "The theoretical foundation of the project is already sufficient. If I need more professional support in the future, I will contact you."
The Magos sent out another confirmation binary code, exchanged contact information with Osiris, and then left.
In fact, Osiris had a deeper purpose in downloading these materials.
Having successfully treated the conscripted soldiers, he was ready to implement the second phase of the Lady Astartes Legacy Program.
The upcoming gene seed repair work will provide him with an excellent opportunity to incorporate some of Ms. Astartes' research findings into the treatment process.
He carefully sifted through the download list, ensuring it covered key areas such as gene seed stability regulation, genetic material repair, and biological tissue regeneration.
This knowledge will not only help him better complete the healing mission of the Imperial Fist, but will also provide important reference for his research on the Genesis Particle.
More importantly, they will provide the necessary technical cover for implementing Ms. Astartes' genetic seed optimization program.
The data terminal continued to operate, and a large amount of biological data was stored in Osiris' private database.
During the download process, he paid special attention to collecting research papers on gene seed expression regulation and organ synergistic development.
These areas were key components of Ms. Astartes' original design and were also the focus of her planned technological breakthroughs.
With the last piece of data transmitted, Osiris disconnected from the data terminal.
He now possesses the theoretical foundation needed to implement the next step of the plan.
This biological knowledge will help him quietly advance Lady Astartes' unfinished research while treating the Imperial Fist warriors.
