Heat Capture System: What is one of the biggest problems with weaponry in the Imperium? The answer is the heat build up they experience with use. Their mechanisms channeling energy and warming the material. Every weapon from the bolters of the Astartes to the humble lasgun have this issue. It is especially prominent in plasma based weaponry. No surprise there though considering their nature. Even industrial machinery suffers from this issue. As do certain pieces of hardware such as cogitators from processing large amounts of information.
The Undead heretics have sadly found a way around this issue. Through the use of their sorcerous technology they found a way. Not just to eliminate the problem, but to make it beneficial to them.
A series of runes and spell work integrated into their technology. This holds certain elements I have already brought up before. Greater metal strength and reducing the issue of heat build. The runes capture the heat and transfer it elsewhere. Converting it into a more beneficial form. Typically by channeling it back into the weapon. Adding extra power to its attacks. Alternatively it is transferred elsewhere for use.
Thankfully this is not a simple working and seems to only be found in their more complex technology.
Solar Capture System: The primary difference of this piece of hardware from the previous topic is one of scale. The former is relegated to individual weapons and machinery. This one however is far from discriminating in its effect. Rather it covers every single thing in its intended radius. Showing off just how wide the effect of the heretical hextech can be.
The second is the exact form of energy that it targets. The intended purpose of this is to capture solar energy. Namely in the form of light, heat, and the radiation put out by stars. This is how the Midnight worlds maintain their constant shrouds of nighttime. The effect of this heresy extends across the planet. Reaching up into the atmosphere and doing its vile work. Absorbing the light en masse all across the planet at once. Not all of it just most to maintain the darkness.
This is also why they are so frequently colder. The heat energy being captured in much the same way. Causing temperatures across the planet to drop by noticeable amounts. It may not seem like much energy wise, but it is very substantial. This allows the colonization of desert worlds or others with high temperatures. By making it so the heat is no longer a concern.
The same can be said of radiation. Certain worlds are incapable of supporting life due to high radiation from their stars. Only the Mechanicus possesses the knowledge to reliably inhabit such worlds. Now the Ascendancy can say the same.
All of this energy it then funneled into their Astromantic Web. Providing yet more power for their industry.
