'One that crashed long ago,' said Illiad. In the novel Salamander by Nick Kyme, Brother Sergeant Dak'ir discovers the wreckage of a ship from the 154th Expeditionary, part of the Great Crusade (Spoilers below - it's only background info for this answer)īroken apart, forcibly disassembled, it was a ship nonetheless. While Thaddeus' answer does answer the question as it was asked, I thought I would post this to provide some extra context to his answer by providing evidence of the longest a non-interred (as in non-Dreadnought) marine could live for. Commander Dante - Codex: Blood Angels (4th Edition) so fear not and be proud, for we are the sons of Sanguinius, the protectors of Mankind. I have fought what you must fight, and I have slain what you must slay. I have seen all the evil that the galaxy harbours, and I have slain all whose presence defiles the Emperor. I have seen the vileness of the alien and the heresy of the mutant.
Getting old isn't even calculated as part of their personal equation for life.įor eleven hundred years, I have fought and I have seen the darkness in our galaxy. Dying may be part of the job description, but not before a huge number of enemies precede them into death. Since there are only a thousand chapters with an average of a thousand members each, spread across the millions of worlds of the Imperium, Space Marines are built to survive conditions no other fighting force in the galaxy can easily compete with they have to survive fighting the most fearsome forces ever seen. They are the shocktroops of the Empire whose lives are spent only on battles which affect the ultimate longevity of the Empire. The number of modifications and the nature of them ensure the only way for a Marine to die is on the field of battle.
There are also Chaos Marines who are still alive (such as it is) for over ten thousand years, living in the Eye of Chaos. Several Chapter Masters boast lifespans of over a thousand years of age. If heat-based perceptrons can be adapted for manufacturing with existing methods, like being made on chips, the resulting computers could be useful for generative AI and tasks like derivative pricing in finance, he says.A Space Marine enjoys the dubious type of longevity called "immortal until killed".
Patrick Coles at Normal Computing, a start-up focused on creating “thermodynamic AI”, says that the researchers’ conceptual framework could translate into small-scale laboratory experiments, but using it as a basis for devices that can be mass-produced may be a challenge. He says that because the laws of physics, and specifically thermodynamics, dictate that any operation by a computer must “cost” some heat and entropy, building a device where heat is part of the computation process rather than a nuisance could lead to more energy-efficient machines. It is very conceptually interesting and unusual to build a perceptron purely with these thermal flows,” says Marcus Huber at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna. “If you simulate a perceptron using a conventional computer, you’re going in a roundabout way. Computer made of DNA works out prime factors of 6 and 15
