Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

After the war, there were a series of troubles to deal with.

For example, the Space Wolves left Nirvana overnight and quickly returned to their home planet Fenris with the standard construction template of the L-Star Gate provided by Archsage Musbel.

For example, the sensitive Inquisitors are trying to explore the truth about the huge Eldar fleet that mysteriously disappeared deep into the Lost Dream Nebula.

Another example is that the technical priests who came from other star regions to support them are clinging to the urban planet of Falla, Embra, refusing to leave. At some point, a group of people within the Ecclesiastical Church split up and firmly believed that the star bomber was the emperor walking among men. A small incarnated tribe in the world, this tribe is currently on the verge of heresy.

In addition to the above-mentioned things, there are many other big and small things that happened in Falla during this period, and they all need to be dealt with. Russell, who was afraid of trouble, didn't stay in Falla for long. He walked around the Senate and got familiar with the new elders, and then ran without hesitation.

After leaving the Seeker Base, Russell notified the two battlecruisers Ark of Paradise and Oracle of Truth to return to Falla. All members of the Order of Truth on board also disembarked and returned with him to the underground research base located on the southern continent of Falla.

Although Russell was very concerned about the disappearing Fire of Repentance, he also wanted to try to visit the artificial intelligence core from the dark age of technology as soon as possible, and count the various trophies recovered by the swarm from the corpses of the Arkworld, but before that, Russell I feel that we must first fulfill our commitments.

The promise of leading these monks who follow their own ideas on a "path to ascension."

After being attacked by the Eldar on Nifl Prime, nearly half of the Truth cultivators that Russell brought out were lost. Now including those who stayed behind at the underground research base in the Southern Continent, the entire cult totaled only 1,919 people.

Not even two thousand.

Russell summoned everyone to an open area called the "Altar of Truth" located in the center of the underground research base. Most people don't know why the leader asked them to put down their tasks and gather here. Under the eyes of everyone mixed with doubts and expectations, Russell asked the scientific research director and everyone at the research base a question:

"What do you think is most important to achieve the purpose of seeking truth and spreading truth?"

"reason."

The short-haired, gray-haired scientific research supervisor answered without any hesitation: "There are many crazy and spiritual things in the world. Only after experiencing seemingly unexplainable mysterious phenomena can we still remain ourselves and use a clear mind and rational thinking." Only by looking at things dialectically, seeking the logic behind them, and exploring the principles, can we explore the boundaries of truth.”

"Reason, this is the quality we should have."

The scientific research director's argument was supported by many people, but there were also people with different views debating with him. Russell listened quietly, and there was a lot of noise on the altar of truth.

After a long time, when the crowd calmed down again, Russell finally said the second sentence:

"Reason, patience, spirit of exploration... You each have your own opinions. I can't give you an authoritative verdict and tell you what is most important. But the only thing I can be sure of is that there is one thing that always matters. There’s no way it’s unimportant.”

Russell stretched out a hand and slowly clenched it into a fist:

"force."

In this regard, the dozen survivors on the Oracle of Truth at that time and the Truth monks who participated in the subsequent war in the Lost Dream Nebula were deeply touched. If they had been powerful enough, many things could have been avoided.

As an academic organization established by Star Bomber himself, Russell's positioning of the monks of the Order of Truth has never been as technical nerds who sit in the base doing research.

Russell needs them to drive a scientific research ship on an expedition to the galaxy, to dig out the remnants of the past at the bottom of the hive city where demons are raging, to communicate intimately with ghosts and ghosts in a chaotic world, and sometimes they have to fight for graves with oil guys...Academic discussion Once you get the upper hand, it's inevitable that you'll have to fight.

This universe has never been friendly. Whether it is excavating ancient ruins, investigating the ecology of the hive city, or even discussing scriptures with people who have different opinions, the followers of the Star Bomber need to have something that can protect themselves and convince others with their reasoning. force.

Academic organizations have been full of martial ethics since ancient times.

So Russell gave them a way to ascend.

Gray Wind timely projected a mind-bending and complex theoretical explanation onto the altar of truth, making its obscure content appear in front of everyone - maybe for ordinary people, but for those who have been immersed in the field of science and technology for many years Researchers may not.

Even if they cannot fully understand the true meaning of this theory in a short period of time, it does not prevent them from roughly understanding the general purpose of this theory.

——Quantum neural connections.

By applying quantum theory to neurobiology, this theory can completely unlock unexplored areas of the human brain and further optimize the connection and interaction of human brain nerves, allowing modified humans to possess incredibly powerful thinking abilities and truly Thinking and reaction speeds that reach physiological limits.

Only new humans who have been transformed by quantum neural connections can perfectly control the various powerful bionic prosthetics that will be implanted in the body.

"As the pace of exploration crosses the sky and heads towards the sea of ​​stars, we can no longer tolerate the weakness and inefficiency of the human body. In order to fully unleash our potential, body modification and prosthetic implantation are imperative."

The flesh and blood are weak and the prosthetic body ascends. This is the path of advancement given to the monks of truth by the star bomber.

"I will not force you to make a choice. Whether you accept this power or not is entirely up to you." Russell said lightly.

With understanding, Gray Wind removed the theoretical outline of "Quantum Neural Connection" from the altar of truth, and showed instead the general process of the ascension of the prosthetic body.

Nearly two thousand people at the altar stared intently at the theoretical knowledge that had been recompiled locally by Gray Wind, and from time to time communicated in low voices with the people around them.

They are actually no strangers to prosthetic implants.

The Adeptus Mechanicus, which represents one of the two heads of the sacred imperial double-headed eagle, many of their members are very keen on mechanizing their bodies and installing prosthetic bodies. As time goes by, the degree of transformation becomes more and more profound, until Transform yourself into a completely non-human mechanical monster.

Many physically disabled workers, soldiers, and nobles also choose to have prosthetics customized by the Adeptus Mechanicus to repair their own disabilities. There are also many war madmen who implant prosthetics simply to gain greater strength. For a high enough price, the Adeptus Mechanicus can even transform a mortal into something more powerful than an Astartes.

Generally speaking, the human empire's mechanical prosthetics and artificial implant technology are quite developed and perfect, but they are generally not systematic.

Every forging world, or even two tech-priests belonging to the same forging world, rarely have much the same style and degree of body modification. There are various types of prosthetics and implants, and the same body part can be reshaped. There are thousands of different models of prosthetics, and different items may not be compatible with each other.

Prosthetic implant surgeries performed by the Adeptus Mechanicus are always accompanied by a very high risk of death and great pain, and they refuse to admit that this is the same as their magic behavior of burning incense and praying for half an hour every time they tighten a screw. What's the connection?

But at this moment, the road to ascension of the prosthetic body that Russell placed in front of the Truth Religion Society was a standardized, safe, complete, and systematic route to strengthen and transform a sound human body.

The basic adamantine skeleton that carries everything, artificial muscle fibers, synaptic nerves, nanorobots that replace red blood cells to supply oxygen to the body while also maintaining and repairing damaged tissues, crystal implants that enhance vision... Various artificial implants fit together, Supporting each other and being in order, an almost perfect human body system has been rebuilt almost from scratch.

Coupled with the quantum neural connections that can perfectly integrate and control these implants, every truth monk present understands how perfect and great this path to ascension is, and can even lead a race to ascend.

Although the prosthetic man who has undergone perfect transformation is already extraordinary, he still looks the same as an ordinary person. There is no additional mechanical arm or weapon, but his physical fitness alone is enough to make the Emperor's carefully designed angel of death: Ah Start was at a disadvantage.

Although ordinary prosthetics do not have the strict selection criteria of the Astartes monks, and the hell-like training that has no humanistic spirit at all, and they lack the combat experience of years of high-pressure combat, they will probably suffer a loss in a real fight. of.

"I have a task for you next." Russell looked around and said: "This task requires driving a ship to wander around and go to various human planets in the Far East. This trip will pass through large war-torn areas and may encounter many things. Dangerous. Therefore, I will only send monks who have completed the ascension of the prosthetic body there."

"Then make your choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people came forward. Russell noticed that most of them were crew members who had worked on the Ark of Elysium and the Oracle of Truth. Obviously, they had experienced war and were better able to understand how important strength is. .

Most of the remaining truth monks finally came forward after hesitating. Only a small group, including the scientific research director, still chose to refuse.

They are the first group of people to support the truth of the empire, and they are also the most conservative in their thinking. Regarding the transformation of the prosthetic body that destroys the "sacred human body", the attitude of this small group of people is that if you change it, I will not say it, and if you say it, I will not change it.

It is similar to the overall attitude of the Human Empire towards the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Russell respected their wishes and did not force it.

"Thank you for trusting me and embarking on this path of ascension. I am deeply pleased." Russell smiled slightly, and then said: "But I can feel the suppressed resistance and a little fear in your hearts. So, I will In this base, a complete body modification and comprehensive prosthetic implantation are performed on a person to complete the first prosthetic ascension - who is willing to be the pioneer who clears the doubts of other colleagues?"

"Me me me! Please choose me! Leader please, wow-!"

Before Russell could finish his words, a short and thin figure rushed out from the crowd and pounced directly on him. However, this figure was obviously too thin, and he was tripped by the loose trouser legs of the research uniform when he started running. He fell down and fell in front of Russell.

Gray Wind quickly supported this thin and clumsy guy, and he did not hesitate to provide help to the mortals who actively responded to the marshal's call.

But when this person looked up from Gray Feng's arms and saw her face, Russell's heart became filled with mixed feelings.

Because he knew this person.

Sensing Russell's subtle reaction, Gray Feng quickly recalled the entire history of the person in his arms:

——Listia, female, 21 years old, from Falla. At the age of 12, she took the initiative to become a slave worker of the Adeptus Mechanicus in order to study. During the period of labor, she showed her extremely devout faith in the God of All Machines and her extraordinary talent. , thus being appreciated by the technical priests.

But just 2 years later, 14-year-old Listia drained all the knowledge of the technical priest who took her in;

In order to learn more knowledge, she gave up her belief in the God of All Machines and switched to the state religion. She faked her identity and sneaked into Beili Cathedral and became a nun.

Three years later, Listia was sentenced to death for peeking at the magic books collected in the church's forbidden room. She successfully escaped from prison the day before her execution. She gave up her belief in the God-Emperor and switched to the Empire's Truth Sect. Later, he learned about the existence of the Order of Truth and joined decisively.

The infinite knowledge from the Star Bombers mastered by the Order of Truth truly satisfied Listia's thirst for knowledge. This is probably the organization she has stayed in the longest... for a full 5 years.

I really don’t know how the Truth Cultivator recruits people.

Listia does not believe in the God of All Machines, nor does she believe in the Emperor. Although she agrees with the dialectical materialism espoused by the Order of Truth, she only agrees, and this identification needs to be put in quotation marks.

Such a person actively asked to be the first human being to accept the ascension of a prosthetic body. No wonder the marshal felt embarrassed... After understanding the current situation, Gray Wind loosened his hand holding Listia's thin body and retreated to Russell's side.

This delicate girl straightened her clothes and smiled sheepishly at Gray Wind. Everyone around them felt that this scene was extremely absurd. Listia's eyes when looking at Russell were full of admiration and longing, so passionate that people dared not look directly at them. Her overly dazzling gaze.

The moment she saw the theory of quantum neural connections, she fell in love with this profound and beautiful knowledge, and couldn't wait to see the practical effects of this theory in practice.

It’s best to practice it on yourself.

Looking at Listia's earnest look, Russell seemed to be able to feel the extremely hot temperature in her eyes. Gray Wind watched his reaction without saying a word. It wanted to reject Listia on behalf of the marshal, but it didn't. Open your mouth.

"Okay, it's you." Russell nodded helplessly.

"Praise you! Great and wise leader! Our guide to those who seek knowledge! Praise you!" Listia jumped for joy, wishing she could lie on the ground and hug Russell's thighs... knees.

Gray Wind saw this and said nothing more. It respected Russell's decision.

Next, it will be done by Gray Wind himself, making this thin girl the first human to embark on the path of prosthetic ascension.
