A Silica Animus, more commonly known as Abominable Intelligence or A.I., is a piece of technology forbidden within the Imperium that involves the creation of an artifical mind.

硅基知灵，通常被称为憎恶智能或A.I.，是帝国内部禁止的一项技术，涉及创造人工思维。

Overview 概述

During the Dark Age of Technology, these intelligences rebelled against their human masters, leading to bloody wars. Since that time, and by a personal decree of the Emperor himself, it has been forbidden to fabricate or service those machines that are able to think and act independently. Due to their materialist logic, Silica Animus are especially vulnerable to Chaos corruption, seeing in Daemons only a powerful resource to be exploited and not noticing the taint that consequently inevitably overtakes the machine's mind.

在黑暗技术时代，这些智能反抗他们的人类主人，导致了血腥的战争。从那时起，根据帝皇本人的个人法令，禁止制造或维修那些能够独立思考和行动的机器。由于他们的唯物主义逻辑，硅基知灵特别容易受到混沌腐化的影响，在恶魔身上只看到一种可以利用的强大资源，而没有注意到不可避免地占据机器思维的污染。

The Silica Animus is not to be mistaken for the machine spirit that has parallels but basal differences - namely, no ability to enhance itself.

硅基知灵不应被误认为是机魂，它们有相似之处，但有基本差异，即没有自我提升的能力。

Views of the Adeptus Mechanicus 机械神教的观点

The Adeptus Mechanicus abhor Abominable Intelligence and believe it to be tech-heresy. A device without a machine spirit is but a shell, however, if it contains an animating intelligent force, it is no longer technology that can be trusted and relied upon. As such, it is no longer part of the Omnissiah's great plan and is damnation made manifest. Regardless, there are those within the Adeptus Mechanicus, Dark Mechanicum, or other hereteks that still meddle in its creation.

机械神教憎恨憎恶智能，认为这是技术异端。没有机魂的设备只是一个空壳，然而，如果它包含一种有生命的的智能力量，它就不再是可以信任和依赖的技术。因此，它不再是万机神伟大计划的一部分，而是诅咒的体现。不管怎样，机械神教、黑暗机械教或其他异端内部仍有人干涉其创造。

According to the traditions of the Adeptus Mechanicus, such creations are unholy constructs that are inherently evil and perverted abominations in the eyes of the Omnissiah. Furthermore, the Cult Mechanicus states that such constructs possess a Machine Spirit that is a twisted mockery of a Man's soul as well as being both treacherous and insane. There exist apocryphal stories within the ancient texts that are shrouded in metaphor which speak of the murderous and powerful Silica Animus creations that existed during the Dark Age of Technology. At that black moment in Mankind's history known as the Age of Strife, there existed legions of "iron children" which served the artificial minds of the Silica Animus, who are blamed in part for the many horrific wars that existed in that lost time. It is said that towards the end of the M23, Mankind was almost destroyed by its own technological innovations.

根据机械神教的传统，这样的创造是邪恶的构造，在万机神眼中，它们本质上是邪恶和堕落的可憎之物。此外，机械教派指出，这种构造支配了一个机魂，是对人类灵魂的扭曲嘲弄，既危险又疯狂。古代文献中存在着被隐喻笼罩的杜撰故事，这些故事讲述了黑暗技术时代存在的凶残而强大的硅基知灵造物。在人类历史上被称为“纷争时代”的那个黑暗时刻，有大批“铁嗣”为硅基知灵的人工思维服务，他们在一定程度上被指责为在那个失落的时间里发生的许多可怕的战争的罪魁祸首。据说，在M23接近尾声时，人类几乎被自己的技术创造所摧毁。

In the aftermath of the Age of Strife the Mechanicus passed the Crimson Accords of Mars which forbade the development of advanced A.I. and put a death sentence on any remaining Silica Animus constructs as well as any who developed them.

在纷争时代之后，机械教通过了《火星深红协议》，该协议禁止开发先进的A.I.，并对任何剩余的硅基知灵构造体以及开发它们的人判处死刑。

The secrets for the creation of such artificial intelligences is one of the many pieces of technology that is being sought by the Logicians cult.

创造这种人工智能的秘密是逻辑学家教派所寻求的众多技术之一。
