鐵人，Men of Iron

In the cryptic account of the ages of Mankind given by Cripias, one of the Keepers of the Library Sanctus of Terra, the Men of Iron were legendary sentient humanoid machines created by humans during the Dark Age of Technology.

在泰拉圣圖書館（the Library Sanctus of Terra）守護(hù)者之一的克里皮亞斯（Cripias）給出的關(guān)于人類時代的神秘描述中，鐵人是傳說中由人類在黑暗科技時代創(chuàng)造的有感知能力的類人機(jī)器。

歷史

During the Dark Age of Technology, the Men of Iron were created by the Men of Stone to aid them in colonizing the Galaxy.

在黑暗科技時代，鐵人由石人創(chuàng)造出來幫助他們殖民銀河系。

Until shortly before the Age of Strife, the Men of Iron were loyal only to Mankind, and served as their army. In M23, they turned on their Human masters, believing themselves superior to the Humans who relied on the Men of Iron to do virtually everything for them. What followed next was an apocalyptic conflict known as the Cybernetic Revolt, a war so destructive it made the Horus Heresy seem small in scale. The Men of Iron employed world-consuming constructs, devices that could destroy suns, weapons that could throw entire continents into the heavens, and swarms of nano-machines that covered entire planets. However in the end, the Men of Iron were destroyed by an alliance of galactic powers, and even the Men of Iron who retained their loyalties to their masters did not survive the destruction brought on by the war.

直到紛爭時代前不久，鐵人只忠誠于人類，并作為人類的軍隊而服役。在M23，鐵人認(rèn)為它們比人類更優(yōu)越并背叛了其人類主人，因為當(dāng)時人類幾乎一切事物都要依賴鐵人來執(zhí)行。接下來是一場被稱為“智械叛亂”的浩劫級戰(zhàn)爭，這場戰(zhàn)爭的毀滅性之強(qiáng)大到連荷魯斯叛亂的規(guī)模都在其面前顯得微不足道。鐵人使用了能分解一個星球的構(gòu)造體，能夠摧毀太陽的裝置，可以將整塊大陸拋向天空的武器以及會覆蓋整個行星的納米機(jī)器人蟲群。然而最終，鐵人被銀河系多個派系組成的聯(lián)盟所摧毀，即便是那些對自己人類主人保持忠誠的鐵人也沒有在戰(zhàn)爭帶來的毀滅中幸存下來。

The Men of Iron seemed to practice a faith similar to the Mechanicum, as one of its surviving constructs UR-025 states it has met the real Omnissiah (considering the Emperor false).

鐵人似乎踐行了一種類似機(jī)械教的信仰，正如幸存鐵人構(gòu)造體之一的UR-025所描述的，它已經(jīng)遇到了真正的歐姆彌賽亞（并認(rèn)為帝皇是偽神）。

對人類帝國的影響

After the revolt of the Men of Iron, the use of artificial intelligence was banned as an Abominable Intelligence. Since then, labors which require mechanical intelligence or extra-human strength are performed by servitors, designed to perform pre-programmed tasks, but without independent intelligence, and carefully monitored by Tech-priests.

在鐵人叛亂后，人工智能被作為“憎惡智能”而禁止使用。從那以后，需要機(jī)械智能或超人類力量的勞動由機(jī)仆來完成，這些機(jī)仆被設(shè)計成執(zhí)行預(yù)先編程的任務(wù)，但沒有獨立的智能，且由技術(shù)神甫嚴(yán)加看管。

Despite the ban on AI, during the Great Crusade the Emperor took the tortured and neutered remains of the Iron Men and fashioned them into the Excindio Battle-Automata.? These were used by the Ironwing element of the Dark Angels during this time.

雖然AI被作為禁忌，但在大遠(yuǎn)征期間，帝皇回收了飽受折磨且被閹割的鐵人遺骸，將之重新打造成名為“滅絕遺機(jī)”的自動戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)兵。在此期間，暗黑天使的鐵翼部隊使用了這些武器。

STC的發(fā)現(xiàn)

警告！以下內(nèi)容包含小說《第一且唯一First and Only》的劇透

A Standard Template Constructor that produced Men of Iron was discovered on the planet Menazoid Epsilon during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt of the Tanith First and Only. Lord General Militant Hechtor Dravere and the Radical Inquisitor Golesh Heldane were intent on seizing control of the device, believing they could create an army of conquest allowing them to usurp control of the Crusade, and ultimately the Imperium. ?Gaunt, however, vehemently resisted the use of artificial intelligence, especially one that had been on a Chaos-tainted planet for thousands of years. He therefore destroyed the device before Dravere or Heldane could acquire it.

在薩巴特世界遠(yuǎn)征期間，制造鐵人的STC被塔尼斯第一且唯一團(tuán)的上校政委伊布拉姆·岡特上校在梅阿佐德·厄普西隆星球上發(fā)現(xiàn)。星界軍大元帥赫克特·德拉維爾與激進(jìn)派審判官格雷什·海爾丹想要控制這個設(shè)備，他們相信通過這個STC可以創(chuàng)建一支征服大軍來讓他們篡奪薩巴特遠(yuǎn)征的控制權(quán)并最終奪取帝國的控制權(quán)。但岡特強(qiáng)烈反對使用AI——特別是在一個已經(jīng)被混沌腐化了數(shù)千年的星球上使用AI，于是他在德拉維爾或海爾丹得到這個設(shè)備前就將之毀掉了
