Warhammer III

The Ninth Brotherhood and the Silver Shroud Battle Sisters took the transport boat back to the Black Stone Fortress. Phyllis had been waiting here for a long time with two medical sisters and several medical servants.

The battle sister troops led by Sister Lyudmila suffered nearly one-third casualties, some of whom were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Their extremely loyal faith in the Emperor made them insist on returning to the Black Stone Fortress.

For Lyudmila, the results of this joint attack with the Ninth Brotherhood far exceeded the previous battles. The strength of the Ninth Brotherhood and its expertise in demons allowed her to eliminate the suspicion caused by the alien Varda.

On the way back, she was always concerned about the wounded and tried to stay calm on the surface. After seeing the supporting medical sisters, she immediately ordered the wounded to be transported to the hospital in the fortress for treatment. Those sisters who were not seriously injured also volunteered to transport the seriously injured sisters.

The fortress hospital was transformed from the residential area next to the No. 7 anti-psychic turret. The alien architectural style is the medical facility of the Empire. It can effectively prevent chaos corruption and prevent the wounded from being contaminated by chaotic energy.

"God Emperor Bless!"

The three medical sisters checked the condition of each wounded step by step, and from time to time they used their warm and powerful hands to gently touch the injured parts of the sisters, and gave each wounded encouragement and comfort to keep them hopeful.

The whole hospital was filled with the smell of blood and potions, and was filled with the prayers and beliefs of the nuns. Even though they were seriously injured, their eyes still revealed a firm light.

Lyudmila stayed here until every wounded was out of danger. She looked at the sisters who came back from the brink of death and said "God Emperor Bless" again.

The brothers of the Ninth Brotherhood who were injured in this decapitation operation recovered their wounds with the power of metal cells. Three brothers were so seriously injured that the mechanical heart could not be repaired. They entered a state of suspended animation, but no one died. The powerful protective effect of the mechanical heart was once again reflected.

Taiyue led Nelson and Adrian to bring the brothers in suspended animation to the No. 7 anti-psychic turret, which is now a storage warehouse for gene seeds and a place for dreadnoughts to be stationed and reborn.

After Nelson injected the three brothers with dormant meningeal inhibitors, he put the three into the sarcophagus of three dreadnoughts with the help of Taiyue. Taiyue knew that there would be a large number of casualties in this operation, so he asked Demos Forge World to prepare several dreadnoughts in advance.

"God Emperor, brothers, get up!"

Adrian controlled his dreadnought to step forward and knocked on the ceramic steel surgery of the three new dreadnoughts. He looked at the three brothers who were buried in the dreadnoughts like himself, and he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

The three woke up one after another, and under the guidance of Taiyue and Adrian, they finally accepted their fate.

Taiyue then announced the establishment of the 9th Brotherhood's Dreadnought Squad, captain Adrian, whose usual task is to protect the Brotherhood's gene seeds and metal seeds.

Bruce and Gary also came here soon after. The ten-year period has come. They need to remove the mature gene seed in the chest. The last time the gene seed outside the neck was removed was five years ago. Now another five years have passed.

Taiyue was the first to lie on the operating table and remove the power armor and electronic muscle bundle. In order to prevent the automatic defense behavior of the metal cells, he activated the spirit bones in his body and used psychic energy to drive all the metal cells in his body back to the mechanical heart.

After Nelson cut open Taiyue's chest, he successfully removed the gene seed. He put this gene seed in the analyzer next to him to find out the proportion of metal cells.

"100%!"

After the data came out, Nelson's heartbeat accelerated. It was no longer a gene seed but a completely metal seed. He couldn't help but wonder if this metal seed could split and cultivate more metal seeds.

After the operation, Taiyue used the spirit bone generation organ to shut down the psychic energy. The metal cells quickly flowed out of the mechanical heart and repaired his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bruce and Gary's operation took a little longer. They could not completely control the metal cells. The metal cells that automatically defended themselves even broke Nelson's medical gun.

Their gene seeds were also tested. The metal cell content was high and could develop into metal organs, but like the gene seeds that Taiyue had taken out before, they could only develop into one metal organ and could not split to produce more metal organs.

Nelson's own gene seeds were not taken out for the time being. He wanted to test the correlation between the cultivation time and the metal cell content.

"Our gene seed is different from the gene seeds of other Grey Knights brotherhoods because of the existence of the mechanical heart. Its cystic shell will be occupied by metal cells during the development process. Those with less metal cells can still develop into flesh and blood organs, while those with higher metal cell content can develop into mechanical hearts or spiritual bone-generating organs.

The mechanical heart can develop slowly under normal conditions and can mature quickly in the negative energy field of the subspace. The spiritual bone-generating organs can only mature in an environment full of subspace energy."

Nelson paused and continued:

"This means that we have gotten rid of the metal seeds directly provided by the Great Sage Cawl and have the second generation of metal seeds. After the second generation of metal seeds develop into mechanical hearts, there is no restriction on the activation of psychics. Ordinary people can also implant this organ alone. Sage Dela is the first non-psychic to implant a mechanical heart. After the second generation of metal seeds develop into spiritual bone-generating organs, they are theoretically suitable for all psychics!"

Everyone fell into deep thought. They knew that if ordinary people could use it, it meant that they had found a way to eradicate the corruption of chaos. Then there was another question. As the source of the metal organ, did the Star God Void Dragon intentionally release part of its body and then restore its complete body through the human race?

The gears of fate began to turn. Tai Yue remembered the words of the great sage Kaul on the day of the ‘Unknown Day’:

“The Star God Scroll Clan will rule the remaining humans on your behalf. They will eventually embark on a protracted war, and the mistakes of the old slaves will be corrected by the new slaves!” (This sentence appears in the first chapter of the main text of this book.)

The fate of all races in the galaxy is destined to change from this moment on. No one knows where the road ahead leads to. Only when the ‘Unknown Day’ arrives can we know, and that day will eventually come at the end of forty-two thousand years.

(Here is the issue of the number of gene seeds. A Space Marine undergoes 18 operations, which theoretically consumes 18 gene seeds, two of which are gene storage glands. Two gene storage glands can only produce two gene seeds.

Then the question is, each production of a Space Marine actually consumes 16 gene seeds. Even if the Mechanicus uses slaves for mass production, one gene seed develops into a gene storage gland, and then produces another gene seed. This will continue to consume gene seeds.

So this book adds a setting for gene seeds: the gene seeds newly produced by the gene storage gland are different from those that develop into organs. Simply put, the embryos in the newly produced gene seeds can divide again, but the number of divisions is limited. This process It is carried out in the body of the slave.

After a limited division in the body of the slave, multiple gene seeds are formed. Obviously, they cannot divide infinitely. The genetic material inside is limited. If the number of divisions is too many, it cannot develop into organs. The fewer the number of divisions, the stronger the developed organs are, and the closer they are to the original gene.

The gene seeds after division are the gene seeds directly used to cultivate superhuman organs. These gene seeds are selected to develop into gene storage glands. Through the 5-10 years of gestation of the Space Marines, this time can be delayed. The longer the gestation time, the more genetic material, and the more times it divides.

In this way, the gene storage gland becomes a gene seed that can divide again, which can eventually maintain the consumption of the regiment to produce new soldiers, and can also pay a 5% gene tax to the Mechanicus. )
