Chapter 824 Valier’s Technology
“This is both a transformation and a struggle.”
Just as the man was struggling, a steady voice sounded from above his head.
"Hold on."
It was then that he noticed that there was a pair of iron boots in front of him, and at the same time, a hand covered with armor was gently placed on his shoulder.
"Can you hear me?"
The man shook his head vigorously a few times to drive away the dazzling tinnitus, and then found himself in a white hall surrounded by life-support capsules.
Around him, the machine slaves were busy pulling muscular warriors into the world.
He looked down at his arms again. They were huge and covered with well-developed muscles.
These were not his hands, and when he realized they were different, he finally remembered who he was.
"I...am...Astartes?"
"Yes, now you are a glorious Angel of Death."
The voice sounded, and the man blinked again Blinking, he saw a stalwart warrior wearing gorgeous silver-gray power armor bending down to look at him.
“Do you remember me?”
The man was sluggish for a few seconds, and then his eyes widened——
"War Captain!"
"It seems that your memory is not bad."
Soshyang's marble-like face relaxed with relief.
“You are no longer a candidate!”
As he spoke, Soshyan stretched out an armored hand to him.
"Get up, recruit."
The recruit grabbed Soshyan's hand and stood up. He felt that he had become stronger and bigger.
When he stood up, he could even look straight at Soshyan's shoulders, and raised his hands in surprise.
"I——"
"You slept for a year to transform. After you fell into sleep, you were implanted with the sacred gene seed, and you survived and passed One final test, and blessed by the crystallization of the Emperor's knowledge, you are now an Astartes."
The recruit turned his head and saw others emerging from their own life-support pods, also covered in gel and leaving puddles of sticky liquid on the ground.
There are also some familiar faces among them. This time, there are many more people who successfully entered the transformation stage than the first batch, because Soshiyang also relaxed the selection ratio in consideration of the increase in gene seeds.
"Chapter Commander, am I really an angel already?"
"Almost yes. There are still many years of training waiting in front of you. If you can survive it, These, then you will be implanted with the black carapace. This last gift is the organ that truly defines us - it is used to interface with the power armor. Without it, our armor will become useless. "
At this time, Valer walked towards Soshyan, so he said goodbye to the new recruits and met with the pharmacist.
"Captain Soshyan, there are forty-five new recruits who have been successfully transformed. This is their data."
Taking the data board handed over by the other party, Soshyan looked at it carefully for a while. There are 150 people selected in the second round, so the transformation success rate is close to 30%, which is very excellent data.
Although Valier was a heretic in the past, we have to admit that this guy is really talented. He is worthy of being the person who single-handedly supported the Star Claw's military expansion plan back then. He especially has amazing skills in transformation surgery. and proficiency.
And his grasp of some key details is also very unique, so he not only used his superb skills to double the success rate of the Star Knight's transformation, but also made other pharmacists make great progress. progress. Soshyan can foresee that with the help of those golden age auxiliary medicines, the Star Knights will soon usher in a wave of personnel explosion in the future.
It is possible to transform a company of new recruits at one time!
"You did a good job, I will reward you——"
Before he finished speaking, the alarm suddenly sounded, and then the lid of a life-support capsule suddenly flew out and flew along the ground Slided far away.
The recruit inside rushed out, his skin was wrapped with many wires, his face was covered with gray veins, and he roared and threw himself at a machine slave who was serving his awakening with both hands. Human strength snapped the cyborg's neck.
Valier raised his bolter with an indifferent expression and fired a shot. The loud noise produced when the bullet exploded made the new soldiers frown.
The next second, the headless corpse that lost its mind fell to the ground.
"Sorry, Chapter Commander, there are 44 now."
Soshiyan did not blame him, because he knew that even the last step might get out of control, and gene seeds are not So easy to control.
So he turned to the still shocked recruits and said loudly:
"Although we have reached the last step, this process does not always work. What you just saw is a beautiful But this wild new world is not the last time you will face death. Come on, it's time for you to eat. You have been kept alive by complex drugs for the past year, but what it takes to fully awaken your bodies is real. Food.”
By the time he finished speaking, the dead recruit had been covered with a white cloth. Then the servitor dragged the body away, and the recruits were taken out of the lobby one by one.
Only Valer and Soshyan can hear the next words.
"The one who died just now was the one who implanted the gray marrow. If we remove him, there will be only five gray marrow recruits left."
Valier said and sighed. tone.
“This substance is still too mysterious for me. I can only barely capture some of its patterns, but the success rate of transplantation is still astonishingly low. A total of fifty recruits have been implanted with gray marrow. , there are only five left in the end, if you can give me more time and equipment——"
"The equipment will be available, but time-"
Soshyan shook his head.
“We don’t have much time. Speed up the progress of gray marrow transplantation and double the number of transplants in the next batch!”
“But there are too few suitable soldiers. The potential has been almost exhausted."
"I will find a way to recruit troops from other worlds. You just need to be responsible for the job at hand. This time I brought back a lot of golden age medical technology from Armageddon. , take a look, these will be used in the transformation of new recruits in the future.”
With that said, Soshyan handed him a small data pad.
"Oh? This is a good thing."
Valier rubbed his hands and took the data pad excitedly.
"It seems that you have gained a lot this time."
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
After dealing with the transformation of the new recruits, Soshyan came to the barracks of the 10th Company. Here he could see many soldiers wearing power armor walking out carrying huge packages.
One day ago, the first batch of recruits completed the promotion ceremony. They received their own power armor and bolt guns. They are no longer recruits, so they will also go to the barracks of their respective companies—— Most people will go to the fourth company, because Lothar's side is still empty at present. He does not even have ten people under a fleet master, so Soshyan gave priority to assigning new recruits to him.
However, considering that Armin will be under great pressure to lead troops in the future, Soshyan also gave him a few places so that he could keep a few people to help him manage a larger number of new recruits.
Armin's choice is to stay with the Bahram team, including Haoma, Robin, Zod, and Oscar.
These five people will be the captains of the recruit company in the future.
When he arrived at the recruit company, Soshyan found Armin, told him about the handover of recruits later, and asked him to put the five recruits who had successfully transformed their gray marrow into a small team.
After spending a whole day dealing with these trivial matters, Soshyan finally had time to see what the forbidden technology was that made Dietrian deeply uneasy.
