Chapter 164 Ron: I bet Guilliman will faint in the toilet
The answer given by Ron is:
No need.
This is a choice based on the population of Erth.
The characteristics of Little Sun do not allow him to carry out such cruel screening behavior.
Moreover, the selection process of many battle groups in the empire itself is not very reasonable.
Their process for selecting new recruits can be summed up as follows:
Use a bunch of unnecessary and extremely high-mortality abuse to torture the candidates until they are half dead, and then select the surviving individuals. Transformation.
The Dark Angels select strong teenagers from thousands of dangerous primitive worlds and evaluate them through various competitions of strength, agility and endurance.
Those who fail to pass the trial due to physical inadaptation or weak will at this stage will be euthanized.
Then, the implantation surgery is performed on the open-air operating table on the top of the mountain without anesthesia. After surviving it, you can join the battle group.
The Blood Angels will select thousands of candidates from their home planet of Baal and hold violent game competitions on Baal, but only fifty winners can be selected.
Then they were taken to the monastery to participate in more tests, and then had to lie in a coffin for a year.
The Wolf Chaplains of the Space Wolves select candidates from primitive tribes that are prone to frequent wars.
They will be taken back to the Wolf Fang for training.
The recruits need to drink the liquid containing the wolf's spiral, and then in extreme physical pain, they are thrown thousands of miles away into the ice and snow at dozens of degrees below zero.
Only those who can walk back on foot can become newcomers, and they will be attacked and killed by werewolves in the process.
In short, the main theme is cruelty, killing a bunch of people.
The only normal one is the blue canned Ultramarines.
They recruit candidates from the populations of the nine worlds of Ultramar.
Those people were then sent to military camps throughout Ultramar to receive high-intensity military training.
Some candidates will be sent to the tundra world to survive in the wilderness, some will need to go to the agricultural world to pick the fruits of semi-activated vines, or be thrown into the mining world to dig huge amounts of ore.
Although these trials were cruel, they were not directly fatal.
It is more humane.
So the number of Ultramarines is also the largest.
Let’s talk about one more data.
Today the Empire has millions of planets and countless civilized worlds, but the number of Space Marines in each chapter is so few.
But during the Great Crusade, the Emperor broke out twenty legions based on the genes of twenty primarchs based on the populations of Holy Terra and the Moon alone.
Before this, he also exploded twenty thunder warrior legions and a full set of ten thousand guards in his lair in the Himalayas...
Just asking you if it is scary.
Ron guessed that such a terrifying speed and quantity of explosive troops was due to the Emperor, a man from the sky, whose skills were superb.
Also, he didn’t do so many cumbersome and deadly tricks.
I guess this is what his old man is like:
This guy seems to be in great health and has a strong will. Let’s see if he can be transformed...
So in theory, the war The regiment is capable of mass-producing space warriors.
In Ron's view, without transformation and the blessing of special external forces, there really is not much difference between people.
No matter how powerful a bicycle is, it is still a bicycle.
Could it be that in the Genetic Warrior Academy, those who have been receiving various nutritional medicines since childhood?
Young men who have had their bones and muscles polished, learned combat skills with various weapons, and participated in various practical trainings with people and monsters.
Isn’t it better than those malnourished teenagers in Barr who need to slide in the wind for ten hours with a few broken pieces of wood and canvas to get a genetic test?
Even if they are not comparable, after genetic engineering, these gaps will be narrowed.
Even if the gap does not narrow, it can be made up by the number of people. Two can always beat one, right?
Otherwise, just three or four.
The main thing is that there are many individuals!
In Ron's expectation, only the top 5% of the 200,000 warrior students at the Genetic Warrior Academy would have the chance to become space warriors.
Those eliminated will become the storm leaders.
Use resources rationally.
Of course, today's war groups in the galaxy are sparse in number, except for the strict selection system for newcomers.
What is more important is the restriction of the battle group system.
Here we have to mention our Ultramarines Primarch and farming strategist Robert Guilliman.
After the Great Purge at the beginning of the 31st millennium, he used his astonishing wisdom to write the famous "Code of Astartes".
The content covers military organization, strategy and tactics.
It stipulates the moral behavior, tactical order and tactical thinking of the Space Marines.
Of course, the main purpose of the Codex Astartes is to limit the size of the Legion to avoid another Horus Heresy.
According to the decrees in the Codex Astartes.
The Empire's existing Space Marine Legions must be broken up and reorganized into 1,000 smaller fighting organizations called Chapters.
And the number of Space Marines in each chapter must be limited to 1,000.
As a result, the huge Space Marine Legion was divided into many small battle groups. And Chapters must comply or be considered traitors.
Eventually, the Traitor Legions retreated into the Eye of Terror, while the remaining Loyalist Space Marine Legions obeyed the Codex Astartes.
Consider it the only holy book of Space Marines.
Ten thousand years have passed, and it is now the forty-first millennium of the empire.
The Space Marine Chapters still use this codex.
This holy scripture has been used for nearly ten thousand years without any modifications and repairs. It has become extremely old and rigid.
It can be said that it is completely inconsistent with the current situation of the galaxy.
It was even nicknamed toilet paper.
Because the existing number of Space Marines simply cannot resist the increasing number of enemies from within and outside the galaxy.
Even if the chapters want to expand the number of Space Marines, they can only sneak in non-staff personnel under various names.
But they are actually Space Marines.
But adding people secretly like this still doesn’t solve the problem.
It is estimated that Guilliman himself did not expect that the code he compiled has been running for thousands of years without any changes.
What he was probably thinking was:
“In order to prevent large-scale interstellar wars and adapt to the fragmented and miniaturized environment of the empire’s enemies.
We must deal with the huge and bloated
This is a trial version and will be continuously improved according to the actual situation..."
It's a pity that before he could perfect or explain it, he was fucked by the demon primarch Fulgrim.
I have been lying here for thousands of years, and I still haven’t woken up.
Ron guessed that when Guilliman wakes up, he will probably ask about the situation of the holy scripture:
"What edition of the holy scripture is it now? Will it still be used when I just published it?" That version?
No?”
Then I fainted in the toilet holding the toilet paper I had written on.
Of course, that was just Ron's imagination.
But what is certain is that when Guilliman wakes up, he will improve the content of the Holy Code.
Those Space Marine Chapters will be expanded accordingly to cope with the new situation.
So Ron does not intend to follow the Holy Code and limit the number of Space Marines to 1,000.
It’s about adding as many people as possible, the more, the better.
Explode troops and attack with endless legion!
In addition to the restrictions of the Holy Code, there are more important reasons for the scarcity of Space Marines.
That is the number of gene seeds.
Gene seeds are the most important genetic material for manufacturing space warriors, and they are also a precious resource that each battle group relies on for their survival.
Many Chapters now do not have enough gene-seed.
There are many reasons why there is not enough:
For example, the empire charges a high proportion of tithe tax on gene seeds.
The battle was too fierce and the number of troops was reduced too quickly, causing the gene seeds in the soldiers to be unable to be recovered.
The crude and crude transformation process resulted in a high mortality rate for newcomers and resulted in waste.
Gene defects lead to serious degradation of gene seeds.
Chaos energy mutates gene seeds and more.
These circumstances have led to a lack of gene seeds, and even the inability to maintain the flow of genes in the war group stably and reliably.
Making it difficult for the war group to expand its numbers.
The Chapters had no choice but to obtain gene seeds in various ways.
Including but not limited to borrowing previously paid seed taxes from the empire, trading on the black market, etc.
And the gene seeds may be plundered by Chaos warbands at any time.
Those Chaos Space Marines are even more lacking in gene seeds.
These circumstances also make gene seeds even more precious.
Nowadays, within the empire, gene seeds are becoming increasingly scarce, and it is almost difficult to obtain those precious gene seeds.
But if the gene seeds cannot be obtained, Ron's formation of the war group will be just a fantasy.
Fortunately, he inherited the Grant family's inheritance and obtained a small batch of gene seeds.
After inspecting the situation of the warrior students, Ron left Zhongsi Academy.
After that, he transferred to the Institute of Biogenetic Engineering in Moss:
“It’s time to take a look at those precious gene seeds...”
