Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 420 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows ([-]) Awakening
Although he really wanted to find out the origin of this "uninvited guest", the growing drowsiness still made Calvin fall into a dormant sleep.

The last point of view in Calvin's consciousness was only the "mature man" Kelbes standing in the crowd, looking up from his low prayer after hearing his call.

The primarch's consciousness sank all the way down, through the continent of the pure land of the soul, and through the black subconscious ocean under the endless tide.

He finally passed through the deepest part of the sea, and returned to his soul source again in another way.

The primarch in the real world was breathing more and more steadily, while the apothecary waited quietly by his bedside.After confirming that the original body had finally entered a deep sleep, the pharmacist called his colleagues, transferred the original body to the oversized living cabin he had prepared, and carefully carried it to the medical department in the middle of the battleship.

Here they can get the help of more medical equipment, so as to conduct more accurate real-time supervision and feedback on the body data of the original body.

The Honor Guard and the Guards of the Imperial Guards monitored the entire process of the transfer.They need to ensure that every body data of the original body has a clear whereabouts, and every test result will not be leaked.

In this way, Calvin fell into dormancy, and the government work at hand also came to a standstill.

Fortunately, this ship is sailing in subspace, so only the clerks of the Inquisition and the Gray Knights are active on the entire battleship, and when the owner of this battleship is no longer busy, only the huge Unremitting Jihad is left. The Gray Knights are still training endlessly.

Pharmacists are an exception, they still need to stick to their posts.Because although Calvin had stopped eating, his body still needed nutrients.

As a result, the still busy medical department will still be brightly lit in the next ten days, and the pharmacists attached to the battleship have been closely watching the data fed back from the life support cabin, carefully adding what the original body needs. substance.

And with the passage of time, the nutrition intake of the original body was slowly decreasing, until the fifth day when the original body entered dormancy, Calvin's energy intake had already dropped to the normal level in normal days.

But what about change?The pharmacist who kept observing from the beginning to the end was puzzled.

He has been waiting for the end of the growth and development of the original body, and he thought that Calvin would have the same intuitive parameter changes in the data as the previous growths.

But until the growth and development of the Primarch ended and the curve of its physiological data flattened, he could not find any significant increase in important data.

Well, not completely unchanged.

At least the body weight of the original body has increased by about 10% compared to before, and the cell activity has also increased by about 5%.

His bone density has increased slightly, but only slightly. If it is not for the accuracy of the instrument, this increase can even be included in the data error.

But instead of growing, his height has shrunk.Besides, the pharmacists did not find any physical data changes from him.

Could this be a failed growth?Or did the pharmacists make some mistakes in their work, so that they failed to keep accurate records of the primarch's physical changes?
Really?of course not.

The Primarch has indeed become stronger, but not at the physical level, or this growth in the physical sense is far less obvious than his spiritual power.

As for this point, although pharmacists cannot use instruments to measure accurate data, as long as you are lucky enough to see the body of the original body that is still asleep, you will have an intuitive understanding.

Bang bang... bang bang...

In the quiet medical room, the white-armored giant was quietly inspecting the equipment, the faint heartbeat sounded in his ears, and he was still calmly implementing the operating procedures in his hands.

Bang bang... bang bang...

The sound of the heartbeat was getting closer and closer, as if it was right next to his ear, and the pharmacist seemed to feel that his own heartbeat was also approaching this frequency, but he knew that it should be an illusion under psychic induction.

He still frowned and continued to operate, and the movements in his hands remained stable to the millimeter level, without any tremors...

Bang bang... bang bang...

The hammer-like heartbeat exploded in the pharmacist's ears, and the bright red blood tore through the fragile blood vessels in the nasal cavity and flowed down from the nostrils, but he ignored the scarlet warning in the helmet mirror and continued to focus on the work in front of him.

Ding!
With the reverse force of the star wrench in his hand and the mechanical arm on the backpack, the last circuit of the faulty instrument was connected again.The pharmacist put down the tools in his hand, leaned on the wall and staggered out of the empty room.

"Five minutes and 13 seconds..." The moment the gate opened, another taller pharmacist standing at the door said to him while pinching the timer in his helmet.

"Huh... so long?" The pharmacist who walked out of the room took off his helmet, and after the sound of the air pressure valve being released, there was a young face covered in blood.

He first raised his arm to wipe off the blood on his face, but then he was worried that he would contaminate the armor, so he took out a disinfection bag from his waist and wiped off the stain on his face.

"You have exceeded the time stipulated in our process. This is a serious violation of discipline. But...for the sake of you getting "it", regarding this violation of discipline, I will stay together next time to pursue accountability."

The taller pharmacist's tone was extremely severe, but as the words continued, the serious warning finally turned into a joke.

"I can handle it, this is what I calculated from the beginning..." The young pharmacist replied with a smile, but the dense blood in his eyes and the faintly visible bruise in his eyes showed the pressure he had been under before.

"Stop talking nonsense... If it's a little later, I'm going to go in and save you." Another pharmacist looked at his face and waved his hands helplessly.His originally relaxed tone finally turned serious, and issued the most formal warning to the latecomers in front of him:
"In matters related to Titan, there is no room for any possibility of mistakes. I don't want to, and I don't want to see any arrogant words full of subjective meaning like "I think" in the next work report."

"Yes!" The young pharmacist finally became serious, and he saluted the elder in the most standard manner, expressing his acceptance of the other party's advice.

The latter inspected the other party's kneeling body for several seconds, and after repeatedly confirming the young man's attitude, finally decided to give him another chance:
"Get up boy, at least this time, you did a good job."

After finishing speaking, the tall pharmacist turned and walked towards the monitoring room next door.

"Yes!" After the young pharmacist stood up, he hurriedly followed in the footsteps of the former.

While using precise body control, he made his pace just half a step behind the former, while turning his head to ask his mentor:
"About Lord Calvin... oh no, was it this difficult before regarding Titan's medical treatment?"

"No..." The elderly pharmacist pushed open the door of the monitoring room while speaking, and the pharmacist, who was separated by a layer of psionic barrier glass, was standing in front of a platform composed of a bunch of complicated instruments and nodded to him.

When he walked in front of the platform, he also waved to the latter, and when he looked at Calvin, who was floating in the life support cabin in the room through the thick psychic isolation barrier, he said in a serious tone :

"At least before this growth, there was no such a strong spiritual response..."

Boom!
The sound of a heavy object falling behind him made the pharmacist suddenly turn around, and what appeared in his vision was the figure of a young pharmacist who fell on the ground...

Yes, this is the growth effect of Calvin this time.

Of course, his body once again broke through the shackles of the holy blood cells, reaching an unprecedented analysis level of more than 40%.

But unlike what he expected before he fell into a coma, his growth this time was not immediately reflected in physical strength.

On the contrary, because of the asymmetry between the strength of his soul and body that existed before him, when his physical strength was given the opportunity to increase again, his instincts drove the various organs of his body to give priority to those that are more suitable for the oppression of his soul. Psionic issues evolve.

The result of this directed evolution is that his physical strength has not been immediately strengthened in the ligaments, muscles, and nerves.

On the contrary, the skin, organs, and hematopoietic system represented by the spine and spinal cord in his body immediately plundered all the energy and substances obtained by the original body through eating, and used it to strengthen the adaptability of its internal circulation superior.

These organs had almost reached the theoretical upper limit of carbon-based organisms before they were strengthened, and after this strengthening, after they broke through the theoretical upper limit of carbon-based organisms, the various data indicators reflected by them began to have Obvious mythology.

What pharmacists can do is actually very limited, because there are not many parts of the Primarch's body that they can recognize.

And from this evolution, the body structure of the Primarch officially broke away from the scope of all their theories and cognition, and entered a field they were completely unknown to.

The previous heartbeat sound is a typical example, because this heart itself, which is like a living thing, is the biggest beneficiary of this strengthening.

The apothecaries of the Gray Knights never imagined that one day the warband would welcome a Primarch of their own; The select elite of these millions suffers.

This kind of heartbeat will ignore the spiritual protection of the gray knights, and the longer it is heard, the louder it will be, and the heartbeats of all those who can hear the heartbeat will also dance with it, and finally in an uncontrollable After violent mobilization, it exploded with a bang.

Several mechanical slave workers had already died in this unreasonable disaster. Calvin's unconscious release put the Gray Knight pharmacists into an unprecedented predicament.

As a last resort, they moved the life support cabin containing the original body again, and used a special laboratory with a psychic isolation barrier to maintain the monitoring of the original body.

But even this kind of treatment cannot achieve complete isolation.The primarch's heartbeat can still penetrate layers of thick barriers, resounding in every cabin in the entire medical area.

It's just that this time the destructive power of "it" has been limited after all, at least it is barely within the range that the gray knights can bear.

As a result, the mortal technical officials in the entire medical area were evacuated urgently, and the mechanical slaves in the entire medical area were forced to sleep.

Nuoda's medical area fell into an eerie silence. On the entire large deck composed of hundreds of cabins, only the Gray Knight's pharmacists and the guards of honor were active.

But what about equipment?Equipment is always going to go wrong.

Even if there is no major problem with this equipment, under the continuous tremor of this intensity, some sudden problems will inevitably occur at the connection between equipment and the interface between pipelines.

So there was the thrilling scene just now. The young pharmacist was already the fourth batch of personnel who entered the laboratory to repair the equipment.In the previous three attempts, they probably figured out the limit they could bear.

5 minutes, 5 minutes, not even a second more, and that brave and reckless young man paid a heavy price for it...

Fortunately, it was still early when he had problems, and fortunately, the place where he passed out was the place with the most abundant medical resources on the entire battleship.

The young pharmacist who was rushed to the operating room next door was thrown on the operating table, and the chief pharmacist took over in person.

The thoracotomy was performed immediately under the order of the chief pharmacist, and after the monomolecular ripper sawed through his breastplate and chest cavity, what was displayed in front of everyone was a shocking corruption.

His first and second hearts were severely damaged to varying degrees, and what shocked everyone present was that with such a serious injury, he could still rely on himself to walk out of the previous medical room independently...

Needless to say, extracorporeal circulation and heart transplantation began simultaneously, and with the joint efforts of all the senior pharmacists on duty, they finally snatched his life back from the hands of death after 4 hours.

But he still has to recuperate for a long time, because the simultaneous rupture of two hearts is still alive, which is a medical miracle in the eyes of pharmacists.

Even if he is an Astarte with an inhumanly powerful body, he still needs a long time to adapt to the rejection reaction of his two hearts.

Therefore, the next battle of the Gray Knights in Jamorow has nothing to do with him.

Of course, considering that he was in a coma at this time, he didn't have the energy to think about such things...

Calvin finally woke up on the tenth day after falling into a deep sleep, and the most obvious sign of his awakening was the heartbeat that had been resounding throughout the medical area, and finally began to stop being arrogant under the restraint of its owner's consciousness.

Its thunderous voice began to slowly calm down, getting slower and slower... getting lighter and weaker, until it gradually disappeared...

The Primarch's eyes opened blankly after a long sleep, and before him was a completely unfamiliar scene:
Inside the strange cabin are strange decks and mechanical devices, and under the strange cold light are strange fifteen pharmacists, large and small.

What made him most incomprehensible was the expressions of these pharmacists.They all took off their helmets after seeing the Primarch awaken.

Under Calvin's stunned expression, the pharmacists bowed to him in unison, and then released Calvin from the life support cabin with a speed and efficiency he couldn't comprehend, and kicked him out of the medical area. door.

"Did I say they overreacted a little?" Calvin stood in front of Golden who came to greet him, still holding the half-worn linen robe in his hand.

And the latter obviously has some understanding of what Calvin is doing these days, so he can only forcefully explain for these technical geeks in the confusion of his own monarch:
"Indeed, maybe I'm too tired..."

　Update, well, it's been a long time since I asked for a ticket.No, ask for one?
