Chapter 4 Gene Seed
This accident was too sudden. Sean did not expect that the demon tested would be killed directly. There was no subspace energy fluctuation in the cube. He wanted to know what this meant and immediately reported the matter to the Divination Hall. Bradley the Prophet.
The Divination Hall is located on the tallest silver spire of the fortress monastery. The walls of the spire are composed of mirrors that can gather subspace energy. Through this mirror, the prophet can sense the weakest fluctuations of subspace energy.
The banner of the fourth fraternity, the "Brothers of the Prophets," flies in the Temple of Divination and depicts a black skull, a book and a long sword.
The prophet Bradley sat quietly in the center of the divination hall meditating. The flickering candlelight around him suddenly went out, and vague psychic prophecies appeared in his mind:
A gray knight in silver armor walked out of the trial room. He wore a helmet without showing his face, and the personal markings on the armor were also covered by rune strips.
He looked up at the sky, and an obscure whisper came from his mouth.
A strong flash of light instantly appeared in the sky, illuminating the gray mountains of Titan.
The Titan synchronized orbital defense space station located directly above the monastery, the Broadsword station, exploded from the inside. Countless fragments fell to Titan, and the subspace demons hidden in the fragments also entered the surface of Titan.
Bradley's heart was heavy. Does this psychic prophecy indicate that the person who passed this test and became a member of the Gray Knights has been corrupted by Chaos? He will betray the Emperor, betray his brothers, and bring the demons to Titan!
Or is this prophecy itself a conspiracy of the evil god, who wants these future Gray Knights to die at his own hands?
Even more difficult than prophecy is interpreting prophecies!
Bradley pondered for a while but did not find the answer. The other prophets of the Brotherhood had already left the Titans and were scattered across the galaxy to eliminate demons, otherwise they could communicate with them this prophecy about the fate of the Chapter's monastery.
He decided to test these psykers again when they passed the test and became Gray Knight recruits. If they really got mixed up with the betrayers, they would definitely find clues!
"There is another cube that can be used for testing, but the demons inside are relatively weaker. If that one is used for testing, the number of psykers who pass the test may increase."
Bradley signaled Sean to continue the assessment and told him his prediction.
Sean was extremely shocked by Bradley's prophecy, and agreed to conduct a comprehensive test on the new recruits to determine whether there were signs of Chaos corruption.
He then ordered the demon resistance test to be suspended first, and went alone to a warehouse equipped with a stasis field. There were a large number of cubes in the stasis field, which bound demons and other subspace creatures. Cubes and stasis fields The double insurance prevents these evil creatures from escaping, and of course they cannot return to the subspace.
After retrieving another cube with a demon sealed inside it, the demon resistance test continues.
After a few more hours, the test finally ended, because the demons used for subsequent tests became weaker. In the end, 20 psykers passed the test, and they were given the opportunity to implant the gene seed.
Taiyue discovered that Nelson, Bruce and Terry had all passed the test, and the four happily gathered together and patted each other on the shoulders.
"Fortunately, the next test became a little easier, otherwise I might not pass this assessment!" Bruce was still a little frightened at this moment.
"I would like to challenge the previous subspace demon, that way I can truly pass the test!" Nielsen passed the test easily, and was a little arrogant at the moment.
Sean took these psykers back to the prayer room, and he glanced at everyone with a serious expression:
"Passing the demon resistance test is just the beginning. The subsequent organ implantation surgery and more rigorous training are waiting for you!"
In a secret room in the fortress monastery, the cultivation of gene seeds has begun.
There is a red and white flag in the secret room. A silver-gray pillar decorated with a skull runs across the flag. In the middle of the flag are three crossed swords.
The "Keepers" of the Fifth Brotherhood are primarily responsible for the preservation of the Chapter's gene-seed and the training of new Apothecaries.
The pharmacist who went out to fight was responsible for treating the injured battle brothers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to recover the gene seeds of the brothers who died in battle.
The pharmacist who stayed in the fortress monastery not only monitored the mutation of the gene seeds of the battle group, but was also responsible for monitoring the successful implantation of the gene seeds into the recruits.
Gene-seed is the key for mortals to become Space Marines. It initially comes from the genetic material of the Primarch, and subsequent gene-seeds come from the gene storage glands in the Space Marines' bodies.
When a mortal completes 19 organ modification surgeries, it means he has officially become a Space Marine recruit. Each organ is a perfect creation of bioengineering and subspace mutagenesis technology. The complex structure and superhuman functions of these organs determine that organ modification surgeries must be carried out in accordance with Proceed in order:
Stage 1 - Second Heart
Stage 2 - Bone Strengthening Organs
Stage 3 - Muscle Strengthening Organs
Stage 4 - Blood Rebuilding Organs
Stage 5 - Lariman Organ
Stage 6 - Autonomic Nerve
Stage 7 – Prepositioning the stomach
Stage 8 - Genetic detection of nerves
Stage 9 – Multiple lungs
Stage 10 - Visual Control Organ
Stage 11 - Lyman's Ear
Stage 12 - Dormant meninges
Stage 13 - Pigment Control Ball
Stage 14 – Pebble Kidney
Stage 15 - Taste Monitoring Nerve
Stage 16 - Sweat Gland Improvement Organ
Stage 17 – Venom Glands
Phase 18 - Gene Storage Gland
Phase 19 - Black Carapace
The Mechanicus Archmagos Belisarius Cawl developed three new organs in 10,000 years based on the genetic material of the 22 Legions and the technology of manufacturing Gene Primarchs:
Phase 3+1 - Tendon Coil
Phase 3+2 - Hymn Pituitary
Phase 3+3 - Belisarius Furnace
A Space Marine who has undergone 19+3 organ surgeries is a Primaris Space Marine. The relevant implantation surgery must be performed between Phase 3 - Muscle Strengthening Organ and Phase 4 - Blood Regeneration Organ.
Some Space Marines who have undergone 19 surgeries can also be transformed into Primaris Space Marines after adding these three organs, but the mortality rate during the operation is over 50%.
The Grey Knights do not have Primarchs, nor do they have these three new organs.
Their gene seeds do not come from the original eight founders, but from the gene seeds of the loyalists, the Space Marines who were still loyal to the Emperor in the Rebellion Legions during the Horus Heresy.
At the same time, the Emperor's spiritual power was added to their gene seeds, so they could use the power of the warp without being corrupted by chaos. Their gene seeds had almost no mutations, which was another reason why they would never fall.
Will, the pharmacist of the Fifth Brotherhood, was using gene seeds to cultivate a second heart at this moment, preparing to implant it into the psychics who passed the test. The proportion of psychics who passed the test this time increased significantly, so he had to take out more gene seeds.
In front of him were twenty culture chambers. The gene seeds in the culture chambers mainly consisted of two parts, the cystic shell and the embryo inside. The nutrients and genetic material in the cystic shell were absorbed by the embryo and turned into a transparent empty shell, while the embryo itself had developed into a heart. The monitor recorded the sound of the heartbeat, and the electrocardiogram on the screen indicated that everything was normal.
(19 organs will be implanted later, please recommend and vote!)
