Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Thought of the Day: Life requires death, not death requiring life.

Anyone who has a little understanding of modern industry should understand the significance of industrial mother machines to a system. It is not so much a specific piece of equipment as it is the embodiment of a set of standards under a mature system.

Of course, the significance of the St. Chris is far more than this, but if Calvin is to evaluate the greatest value of this mechanical ark at this stage, then the core value of the St. Chris is right here.

As the internal decisions of the Order of Omen were issued, the cardinal sages in red robes shouldered different missions, and each began the construction of the entire galaxy with the power of their subordinates.

A large number of exploration ships began to disperse in an orderly manner to the surrounding galaxies. Within a segment of the surrounding area, all galaxies were within their itinerary.

All valuable minerals along the way are marked and then fed back to Constantine sitting on the Mechanical Ark.

Construction within the galaxy was also in progress, and another planet located fifteen astronomical units away was selected to become the capital planet that would later be used as an industrial base.

The large gravity adjustment fleet left the shadow of the Ark and headed straight for the target planet.

After assessing the remaining life cycle of the star in this galaxy, the lucky planet will be towed by the fleet to a suitable position and re-establish the gravitational balance with the star in a new orbit.

After the project of changing the world, the follow-up construction of rebuilding the planet's atmosphere and merging the continental plates has also been put on the agenda.

The planet where Calvin is located is also very busy. Massive construction machinery descends from the sky, and the construction process of a large star port aimed at transporting the population has begun.

The war ahead is over.

After the final battle, Calvin took Constantine and his spaceship together to announce the empire's rule here in front of the monarchs of the three southern kingdoms.

It was not until this moment that these natives, who originally started out serving the Order of Omen, knew that their master had reappeared in this way hundreds of years later.

The transport spacecraft in the atmosphere shuttled between the tribe and the southern countries day and night. A large number of kingdom people were transported by the spacecraft to the star port that was about to be completed in the north.

There they will be transported by spacecraft in orbit and will become the first permanent population of the industrial planet next door.

It was another early morning when he was woken up by the spacecraft engine. Calvin looked at the busy ships in the sky and was not very satisfied with the current working status.

There is a huge generational gap between the empire and the civilization here. This is a fact that cannot be ignored.

The quality gap in personnel determines the capability gap, and the cooperation between the two parties was not smooth from the beginning.

The biggest feature of the agricultural era was the lack of industrial products. Okay, I said bullshit.

An accurate description is that in an era before clocks were common, these people who guessed the time by looking at the sun could not have a precise sense of time.

And this is precisely the first threshold they have to cross when cooperating with the Order of Omen.

Calvin had the illusion that he lived in a large South Asian country for ten years in his previous life and then returned to his motherland.

He knew that the reason lay with the technical staff of the Order, but he still had to patiently appease these men who had never seen a watch in their lives.

It had taken him fifteen years to make these men who could only watch the roe deer baring their teeth in the snow learn to count, how much their monthly salary was, and how many sheep they could buy.

Going further for quality education, Nagar has no conscience and has not even thought about it...

But work must continue, just like a poor author must always update. No matter how difficult things are to survive this period, one day will eventually pass.

Conflicts broke out again and again, and were subsided again and again under Calvin's suppression.

Elvis next to Calvin, like Allen who returned from the front, could not escape this difficult task.

The concentration of work problems during this period is comparable to the total of the past ten years, leaving the three of them mentally and physically exhausted but unable to escape.

Fortunately, the days of suffering will eventually come to an end. After a month of time for the tribe and the sect to adjust to each other, the two sides, who had carried out trial and error to the extreme, finally entered into a relatively stable cooperation.

"It's time to go, we are not needed here now." Calvin said to Elvis with great relief.

"What about me?" Allen asked.

"You...work hard, think of it as training for you." Calvin patted Allen on the shoulder and joked half-seriously.

Calvin had hidden expectations for this Gray Knight who he had bypassed the gene seed procedures and bred with his own blood and psychic energy.

The genetic transformation and cell evolution in his body were led by Calvin himself, and his degree of evolution and completion far exceeded that of the Gray Knights in the general sense, including his later brothers.

He is born to excel and should shoulder greater responsibilities. Therefore, Calvin, who had more expectations for him, naturally did not refuse the opportunity to exercise his abilities.

Calvin took Elvis out of his mansion and sailed north on a Stormbird that had been waiting for a long time, heading towards Elvis's long-sleeping Chapter Mothership...

The dusty deck was opened again, and the lights beside the two people lit up with their footsteps.

Following Elvis's instructions, the battleship's servo slowly woke up from sleep.

In the quiet and uninhabited space, the weird sound of electricity when the machine soul just woke up and the faint smell of ozone in the air seemed to belong to their breathing, weird and clearly audible.

"Have you thought about where to go next?" Calvin asked the pharmacist as he walked.

Calvin had more than one choice regarding the pharmacist's arrangement, but ultimately he needed Elvis's personal will and obedience.

"Your will. As long as the war group can survive, everything will be subject to your arrangements."

Elvis walked half a step behind Calvin, and his height of 2.4 meters now only reached Calvin's chest.

He looked at the taller body in front of him, and he respected the growing power of the original body.

That was an existence as sacred as the source of blood in his body. Whenever he thought of it, he made himself more cautious in his words and deeds, not daring to be arrogant.

But this was not the reason why he obeyed Calvin.

The Astartes have had no affiliation with each other since the beginning of the Legion's time. As for the Chapter Era, I have never heard of anyone willing to obey the orders of a primarch other than his genetic father. That is no different from betrayal.

The only thing that could make this pharmacist, who was loyal to his own bloodline and his Chapter, bow to Calvin was Calvin's promise - to purify the Chapter's gene seeds and ensure the Chapter's survival.

This was Elvis's reason for playing for Calvin and the purpose of their trip.

laugh!

The air-conditioned door was pushed open to both sides, and two tall figures walked down the silent space of the battleship, and finally arrived at the floor of the core functional area at the rear of the battleship.

This place is under the heavy cover of the battleship's thickest armor and other cabins. It is one of the safest places on the entire battleship.

As the safest place, this is naturally also the place where the most precious treasure of the Chapter is kept.

For example, the battle group's relic storage room, the dormancy room of the Dreadnoughts, and of course their destination - the gene seed cold storage room in the medical department.

"Identity confirmed!"

The bulletproof door inlaid with fine gold and bronze stopped the two in their tracks.

On the operating table next to the door, the newly awakened servo wet parts feebly reminded them of the operating procedures.

Correspondingly, there were arrays of weapons stretching out from all directions in the hall in front of the door, locking their every move with a cold perspective.

Fingerprint confirmation, voiceprint confirmation, pupil membrane confirmation, blood genetic sample confirmation...

The complicated procedures were originally set up by Elvis himself, so as the recipient, he was naturally happy to accept them.

Calvin is not in a hurry, because this will not happen overnight.

Anyway, even if the seed purification is completed, it will still take ten years from the time the soldiers are selected from mortals and undergo transformation surgery to the final recruits taking shape.

Even with the help of the geneticists of the Order of Omen, it will take at least three years to shorten this cycle to the limit...

With the gene seeds successfully retrieved, Calvin and Elvis returned to the tribe, waiting to be picked up by the battleship in orbit.

Among them, the appearance of Elvis putting on the white apothecary power armor again really frightened the warriors in the tribe's ancestral court.

They have been vaguely aware of the special identities of the two legion commanders for a long time. They are as powerful as Calvin and will not age.

This speculation became even more obvious when the two men led the legion to fight in the north and south, fighting on the front line with strength beyond mortals.

They all saw the inhuman strength, agility, and physical ability in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. It wasn't that they didn't understand it, but they just didn't want to think about it in detail.

But when one day their old boss appeared in front of them wearing white armor and in the form of an angel walking on the starry sky, the huge sense of gap still made them feel disappointed.

Of course, not everyone is so depressed, and there are still smart people who are sensitive enough to find the key.

For example, there are some new recruits who have never seen the ferocious power of Elvis on the battlefield and do not know whether to live or die.

Another example is the awkward little Mal in front of Calvin in the depths of the official residence. He was asking Calvin a question that was neither surprising nor surprising to him:

"My lord. Can I be someone like you?"

This young man, who had just stepped on the tail of his youth but had been fighting for half his life, was nervously waiting for Calvin's answer.

"You can, but it's difficult and dangerous."

Calvin waved his hand to interrupt the rebuke that Alan, who was standing behind him, was about to say, and responded gently to the young man in front of him.

He had no intention of explaining to Mal the difference between him, Eren, Elvis, and the other Astartes. That is knowledge beyond what mortals know, and it is something that does not need to be explained.

If one day, little Mal can pass the test and stand in front of him in a new form, then he will naturally understand the existence of Calvin;

Vice versa, if Mal does not have the courage to participate, he may die during the genetic modification process. So what does Calvin's holiness and greatness mean to him?

He seriously emphasized again to the young man in front of him:

"Yes, but it requires great perseverance to endure inhuman pain, and a little blessing from the Emperor. The Empire will not reject your loyalty, go and tell your partners. All warriors who intend to serve the Empire, Everyone will have the opportunity to become an angel under the emperor’s throne.”

The thing that had been on his mind finally got a positive answer. How could the excited young man still hold back?

Little Mal just ran out with the wind all the way. He wanted to tell his brother what he knew as soon as possible.

Tell them that as long as they are willing, they can one day be as glorious and great as Mr. Calvin, regardless of the weird looks in Allen and Elvis's eyes...

The vigorous selection process began. This was Calvin's opportunity to promise these people in the North who were loyal to him, and it was also his explanation to Elvis's regiment.

After that, Calvin returned to the sky. While he focused on the work on the industrial planet on the St. Chris, he also fulfilled his original promise-to purify the gene seeds of the Fire Eagle Chapter with his spiritual power. .

As his spiritual energy was further unsealed, his body was already close to its previous height.

Calvin, who knew he was pressed for time, rarely appeared above ground except once at Mu's funeral.

Yes, all mortals will eventually die, and Mu will be no exception. She rejected Constantine and Calvin's suggestions for life-extending surgery and resolutely embraced the end of her mortal life.

"Death is the end of life, and it is also the respect for life."

This was the last motto left by this taciturn Northern woman to Calvin.

Calvin accepted all this silently and buried this tough and great woman at the place where he first met her. And in his heart, he also remembered this precious family affection that would never be seen again.

Another few decades have passed. The industrial planet has begun to take shape after decades of continuous construction.

The once divided continents were pulled and merged into a huge plain, and the mountains were leveled and filled into lakes.

The clouds and rain in the atmosphere are artificially modulated and irrigated in the endless organic farmland according to the plan precisely.

The newly established factories are arranged on flat land in accordance with strict industrial logic, relying on transportation lines constructed of steel;

The constant flow of ships in the sky between the star port and the ground, the orbital manufacturing iron ring and the mining planet proves that the industrial manufacturing capabilities here are close to maturity.

The older generations have all passed away, and the elites of the Mesozoic era, such as Mars, have also become the new generation of Astartes in the genetic modification cabin on the Ark.

Wearing power armor with the same insignia as Elvis, they continue to serve Calvin and the Order of Omen.

These newly born Astartes genes have been tested and found to be extremely pure. With a perfect posture that Elvis could not believe, they became a new generation of angels in the eyes of humans on the surface, traveling back and forth between the Mechanical Ark and the two planets.

Malvasia is the current name of the former little Mars.

As the first batch of recruits to pass the screening and successfully complete the transformation surgery, he is also the most powerful among all the new Astartes.

At this time, he was accompanying his chapter leader Elvis to the North Pole of his former home star - the place where their mothership was buried.
