Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 279 Distribution of Benefits

The power displayed by Mei shocked all the nobles.

The statement that if you had absolute power you wouldn't be attending this meeting is also incomplete.

Absolute power also has different levels, and the power that Mei possesses may not be enough in front of the orcs, but in front of the mortals in this room, Mei has mastered absolute power.

Therefore, under such deterrence, the nobles finally gave up their bargaining thoughts and began to face this issue squarely.

But the first words these nobles said after facing the problem still surprised the retreating nuns.

A nobleman asked:

“What can we get?”

At this time, Howard noticed that the nun's expression seemed to be amused by this question.

At this point, using energy sources as a bargaining chip to exchange interests may not impress these nobles. The last time the Mechanical Sage used energy sources as the ultimate benefit to persuade them to send troops, they ended up losing everything. It is impossible to let them take risks in the same place again.

Mei's answer was straightforward:

"My tribe has collected some technological storage devices that you left behind during the Dark Ages. Some of the technologies inside conflict with ours, so I can transfer them to you."

The technology storage device mentioned here is STC. STC is made by humans, but not all owners of STC are humans today.

Because the stc does not have a fixed landing point when it is lost, theoretically any race may obtain these lost devices.

But STC is not applicable to all races. Take the large shield generating device mentioned earlier as an example. The manufacture of this shield requires a series of prerequisite technological conditions.

If a race that has not mastered these advanced technologies obtains this STC, it will not be able to build such a giant shield. However, if it attempts to master advanced technologies just for this shield, it will cost a huge price, which is often not worth the effort.

For example, two low-level Astra Militarum soldiers once discovered an STC that could improve the melee weapons of Space Marines. The two discoverers were eventually rewarded with two planets by the Empire, completing a class leap that ordinary people might not be able to achieve in ten thousand years. But at the same time, this STC is completely useless to races outside the Empire.

After all, Space Marines are a specialty of the Empire, and there is only one of their kind.

As a race with a long history and influence throughout the galaxy, no one would believe that the Eldar said they didn't have a few human STCs. However, most of the time, the Eldar would rather keep these completely useless devices in storage and let them gather dust than give them to the Empire.

Mei's offer sparked renewed discussion, clearly tempting the nobles. If investing in the promised research results of the Mechanical Sage was a gamble, the STC offered by the Eldar offered tangible benefits.

Even if these nobles really destroyed this planet, they discovered an STC, which was enough to make up for their mistakes. Even after offsetting the punishment, this achievement was enough for the empire to assign them to a more prosperous and rich planet.

However, these veterans were not all blinded by the immediate benefits. Someone asked:

"Then... Miss Eldar, can you please take out the stc you mentioned now?"

The Eldar shook his head and replied, "I don't have an STC on me right now."

"Then where is the stc you promised?"

After hesitating for a moment, Mei turned on her communication device. After a short wait, someone connected to the signal.

On the other side of the communication was the prophet Charandi who stayed behind with the human army. The Eldar's technology allowed their signals to pass through electromagnetic and psychic interference that human communication signals could not transmit.

"Brother." Mei greeted Chalandi briefly, and Chalandi responded just as briefly. It was obvious that they had communicated many times while carrying out the mission with Howard.

"I'm negotiating with humans. Please show them our bargaining chips." Mei said.

But Charandi did not respond immediately. The Eldar prophet asked his sister with a worried look on his face, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," May said.

In the end, Chalandi said nothing. Under the gaze of all the nobles, Chalandi on the other end of the communication got up from his seat on the spaceship, walked to the end of the spaceship, verified his identity, and opened the innermost storage room.

At this moment, two cubes immersed in liquid nitrogen appeared on the communication device screen. The texture of one cube was like white porcelain, while the other cube was translucent. Through the silicon green shell, you could see the constantly flowing character strings inside.

After Chalandi showed the STC, Mei did not immediately close the communication, but asked:

"Brother, are you okay over there?"

"There hasn't been a major disturbance yet, but we can't hold out for much longer," the prophet replied. "The orcs have already sensed our approximate location, but they're still unsure. Today, a swarm of orcs broke in. We killed them all and prevented them from returning, but if this continues, we'll be discovered sooner or later."

"I'll come and rescue you as soon as possible," Mei said.

"We don't need help from others at all!" Unexpectedly, Chalandi suddenly became a little excited after hearing this: "As long as...as long as..."

But he didn't finish his words in the end.

However, Howard easily guessed what Charandi had not finished saying. What he meant was that as long as they ignored those humans, these Death Army would be able to escape on their own.

"Brother, are those humans okay?" Mei asked again.

"Their number has decreased by 5 percent since you left. They are all those who were too seriously injured to be saved," Chalandi said. "But that's not the most important thing. Their morale is very low now. They feel abandoned, which is not a good sign."

"I understand." Mei nodded: "Brother, I'll leave that to you."

Chalandi nodded in response, and before ending the call, he repeated, "I hope you know what you are doing."

Communication is closed.

Mei looked at the nobles and said, "As you can see, the STC is now on our spaceship, with your soldiers. Do you have any questions?"

“How do you prove this stc is real?”

"We have no reason or need to falsify information. If you are determined to doubt everything, our cooperation can be discontinued. I believe others will also be happy to have one less person to share this STC."
