Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 576 06.0575: 'A big surprise'

Two gene-seeds are created within every Astartes Brother, and each gene-seed is the key to the continuation of a Chapter.

Each of them produces two gene seeds, and only one is needed to create a 'demigod'.

At this moment, hundreds of containers containing gene seeds were neatly arranged in the storage box, and the faint red light flickered rhythmically, like breathing.

Horatio's pupils contracted slightly, and then he exchanged glances with Thei, Lati, and Louise beside him to express his surprise.

"The equipment, weapons, and gene-seed of the Astartes are truly an unexpected reward."

Horatio hid his inner joy and spoke in a calm tone, asking Farsight with the help of Thei's translation, "Give me all of these?"

“From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes. From where these things came, there they will eventually return.

I don't need this, but it seems that you value it very much." The alien commander's tone revealed respect for these fallen space marines.

"These warriors are all brave and fearless. Although we are enemies, as a warrior, I admire their courage and faith. The glory of these warriors should not decay in a foreign land.

Since you are the only human who has offered to join forces with me to fight against a common enemy, I will take this opportunity to return all these equipment and gene seeds to their original owners."

This sudden surprise surprised Horatio, and he quickly scanned the box and found that there were about 600 gene seeds in it.

Theoretically, it is enough to transform six companies of Astartes Brothers, and half of it is more than enough for a company of chapters.

It also means that at least the same number of Astartes have died at the hands of Farsight over the past hundred years.

The weapons and equipment they returned were enough to arm an entire regiment.

As for why the number of equipment and gene seeds do not match, it is probably due to the fact that not all corpses are complete enough to extract the gene seeds.

Horatio looked at the legendary commander in front of him.

This Fire Clan warrior with many military achievements still had a calm expression on his face. He stood in front of him unharmed, without any obvious signs of injury on his body, which showed how powerful he was.

At some point, an extremely bold and rebellious idea emerged in the mind of this time traveler: What if I don't hand over these gene seeds...

Since the Ecclesiarchy, the Inquisition, and the Ministry of the Interior all have their own exclusive chapters, why can't the Imperial Navy have a chapter that specializes in void combat and boarding?

This extremely ambitious idea made Horatio's heart pound and his Adam's apple swallow.

'Private collection of Space Marine gene-seed'.

If this charge is proven true, the Ministry of the Interior, which normally values ​​efficiency, will demonstrate an efficiency that can only be seen when purging heretics and traitors.

Even if he did it to better serve the Lord of Mankind.

But his idea was too bold and ambitious.

Cold sweat interrupted his next thought.

He knew that it was not appropriate to expose his conflicting ambitions in public.

"Captain, after testing, most of the gene seeds here come from the lineages of the two primarchs, Robert Guilliman and Corax, but some gene lineages are still unknown." Lati came to the conclusion after a detailed scan and analysis using the servo skull floating beside him.

Latti's conclusion was as Horatio expected, because the enemies of the Tau were mainly the Ultramarines, who were also located on the eastern border of the Empire, and the Raven Guard, who had a blood feud with the Tau for killing their chapter leader.

As for other unknown gene seeds, there are too many possibilities.

"I see. Thank you, Father." Horatio winked at Letty and responded with a natural smile.

The experienced priestess understood what he meant and replied with high emotional intelligence: "I will properly preserve and store these gene seeds according to the requirements of the Holy Scripture so that they can be returned to where they belong in the future."

"Excuse me, Father," Horatio made eye contact with her, then turned to Farsight after responding, "What about the rewards we promised in advance?"

"You seem very anxious. Perhaps your ship is about to lose its self-sustaining power."

Although he easily saw through the opponent's pain, Yuanjian had no intention of adding insult to injury: "I, Yuanjian, always keep my word. We will treat you the way you treat us. So, Lieutenant Colonel, you should first be grateful that you were able to convince your men not to fire at us.

However, our exhausted tribesmen also need to eat, and I will not take up my compatriots’ meal time after their hard work. Perhaps we can have a detailed talk at the dinner table.

If you wish, you'd better taste these foods yourself to determine what is suitable for human consumption and what is not, so that you can clearly know what you need and what you don't want. "

——

The Epic's kitchen crew encountered a big problem.

They received an order from the captain to prepare a fine meal using the best supplies at hand.

"Oh, Chef, what should we do? After we made the sailor meatballs, there is nothing left in the Curry."

Head chef Yin Yuanshan put on his apron, put his hands on the stove, and looked at the empty kitchen with only cold machines left. His sharp eyes were like a general examining the few remaining "remnants" after a fierce battle - the empty food stock.

His eyes finally fell on the flour piled in the corner, and then he looked at the stomach medicine prescribed by the ship's doctor, which one of the accountants had placed on the table.

[The main ingredient of this stomach medicine is sodium bicarbonate...sodium bicarbonate...baking powder is also sodium bicarbonate...]

This man, who graduated from the Chemistry Department of Aurora University and had previously eliminated the Kroot people with hypochlorous acid, suddenly had an idea, and his past chemical knowledge quickly emerged in his mind.

[Got it! Since stomach medicine and baking powder have the same active ingredients, they have the same effects.

In this case, why not make a 'stomach medicine cake' to satisfy the captain's request? ]

"Guys, get to work."

"Ah? Chef, we don't have anything, what are we going to do?"

“We can bake cakes.”

"Pastry? But pastries are desserts that only the rich people in the upper class can afford. We are on a warship, and the captain didn't purchase much baking powder at the time. Flour is usually used to make naval biscuits that are durable in storage." His daughter, accountant Yin Shuyao, said in a skeptical tone.

She showed her father, the head chef, the statistics of all the remaining inventory to see if it could meet the captain's requirements.

"As for meat, we only have some scraps of meat left on the bones. We can pick the remaining meat and make a pot of broth later.

Then pour the broth into the baked cake to make a pie, and then decorate the pie with the remaining sugar and energy chocolate, which may make a hearty meal. "

The chef has already figured out how to cook a feast using the leftover supplies on hand.

"As for the missing baking powder, pour these stomach medicines into the water used to mix the dough and use the sodium bicarbonate in it to complete this important step."

"You can still do this?! You are worthy of being the head chef!"

When everyone was marveling at the chef's quick thinking, someone suddenly said something.

"But then again, we have to prepare a feast right after we came out of the warp and fought the aliens. Who are you going to eat with, Captain?"
