第1章 钢铁与低语

Steel and Whispers

In the fortieth millennium, knowledge is an eternal curse.

Tech Priest Exanders Statcali discovered a distress signal from ten thousand years ago, originating from a forgotten, dead world—Xerath.

There was no life there, only a steel ruin stretching across the continent, and a black pyramid that looked out of place, bearing the emblem of the Mechanicus.

When the exploration team entered the silent sanctuary, they discovered not the expected relic, but a terrifying creation, half-human, half-machine, imprisoned in a vessel. Its final warning was not a gift to humanity, but a death knell tolling for the entire galaxy:

"They're awake! Run!!!"

Now, Exanders must confront a harsh truth: some knowledge is not for mortals to grasp; some silences, once broken, are the end of eternity.

在第四十个千年，知识是永恒的诅咒。

技术神甫艾克桑德斯·斯塔特卡利发现了一段来自万年之前的求救信号，源头指向一个被帝国遗忘的死亡世界——泽拉斯。

那里没有生命，只有一片横跨大陆的钢铁废墟，以及一座格格不入的、印有机械神教圣徽的黑色金字塔。

当探索小队踏入寂静的圣所，他们发现的并非期待的圣物，而是一个被囚禁在容器中、半人半机械的恐怖造物。它留下的最后警告，并非给人类的赠礼，而是为整个星系拉响的丧钟：
“他们醒了！快跑！！！”

现在，艾克桑德斯必须面对一个残酷的真相：有些知识，凡人不应触及；有些寂静，一旦打破，便是永恒的终结。
