From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 578 Cloning Follow-up
According to the original plan, Athena and Hera would lead a thousand Greek deities and cooperate with a thousand Grey Knights to form a purification force, cooperate with the Word Bearers and the Night Lords Legion, and go directly to the fallen Coruscant to carry out the combat mission of eradicating Chaos.

However, as Darth Vader led the Chaos forces to raid Tatooine, Sui Yang had to temporarily adjust his strategic deployment.

He immediately gave orders to dispatch the battle nuns, battle knights, Iron Wing Knight Company and Nirenhog, who were always ready to go, to directly open a large-scale portal and instantly transport this elite force to the Tatooine battlefield.

This decision consumed a huge amount of psychic energy, but ensured that Tatooine's defenses would not collapse under the first wave of Chaos' offensive.

At the same time, the Greek demi-gods and the Grey Knights continued to act according to their original plan.

After crossing the space gate, they quickly joined forces with the Word Bearers and the Night Lords to form a joint force, heading straight for Coruscant, which had become the core stronghold of Chaos.

Their mission was to completely cleanse the corrupted planet, destroy the Warp rifts, and cut off the main invasion route for the Chaos forces.

On the wider battlefield, Dorn and Perturabo were still responsible for consolidating the Empire's defenses and ensuring stability in the rear.

The Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors Legions under their command not only had to build a solid defense system, but also had to assist the Thousand Sons Legion in wiping out the remnants of the Galactic Empire, while preventing the further spread of Chaos corruption.

Although this series of adjustments disrupted some of the combat rhythm, it ensured the empire's advantage on two key fronts.

The strategic sand table in front of the Golden Throne flashes with countless points of light, each of which represents the steady advancement of the human empire in the Star Wars universe.

Sui Yang stared at the star map, his deep gaze penetrating the superficial data - although gradual expansion requires a lot of resources and manpower, in terms of long-term strategy, this is undoubtedly the safest choice.

As the occupied areas continued to expand, the empire was establishing a virtuous strategic cycle.

Each newly conquered galaxy not only provides rich mineral resources, but also contributes a large number of recruitable population.

The production line of "Forge World" runs day and night, transforming captured enemy warships into imperial ships. In the liberated human colonies, young and middle-aged men line up to undergo conscription tests.

This snowball-like development model of "war to support war" is making the war machine of the human empire run faster and faster.

The empire adopted a relatively pragmatic policy in terms of ethnic integration in the occupied territories.

Some alien races that are "compatible" with human genes, such as the Twi'leks, will be classified as "sub-human".

Although these races have no reproductive isolation from humans, Sui Yang knows that there will be problems with genetic seed compatibility among the mixed-race offspring of humans and "them" without the need for detailed research and conclusions from the Biological Department.

These hybrids were destined to be unable to withstand the Astartes' transformation surgery, as their genetic chains would collapse when the organs were implanted.

In contrast, those "sub-humans" from Terra, that is, the mixed-race descendants of elves, dwarves, and even vampires and werewolves from the main universe, showed amazing compatibility.

After all, their genes are still essentially human, they just express different dominant characteristics.

This difference determines the future conscription policy of the Empire. Only those humans who maintain genetic purity are eligible to join the ranks of Space Marines.

Of course, the human empire in the main universe is still much more "gentle" than the human empire in "Warhammer 40k".

At this time, in the holographic projection of the Golden Throne, a planet completely covered by the blue ocean was slowly rotating.

Sui Yang's gaze penetrated the clouds and fell on those slender cities standing in the stormy waves.
Kamino, an ocean world famous in the galaxy for its genetic technology, is shining with the light of "temptation".

The image of the Kaminoans also began to become clearer in the data stream.

"Their" slender bodies are like precise measuring instruments, with a faint network of light blue blood vessels visible beneath their pale skin.

Those huge glass-like eyes seemed to be able to see through genetic sequences that were difficult to capture even with a microscope. Their slender fingers danced on the genetic encoders ten times more accurately than the most dexterous surgeon.

Among them, the holographic image of Tipoca City unfolded before the Emperor. This maritime city was supported by countless alloy pillars, and its architectural curves were as elegant as the DNA double helix.

But beneath this elegance lies a disturbing "essence".

According to the report submitted by Magnus, the Kaminoans regard gene editing as pure artistic creation.

"They" have customized dancers who can secrete venom for black market clients and bred killers without the sense of pain for criminal groups. The most famous, or most notorious, is that they mass-produced millions of childhood-deprived clone soldiers for the Galactic Republic.

These lives under white armor have been programmed to die from the moment they were born in the test tube.

Sui Yang's fingertips lightly stroked the void, and more holographic images unfolded like ripples.

Hundreds of identical "faces" were suspended in the dark blue liquid of the culture chamber. Some were lumps of flesh in an embryonic state, while others were nearly adult warriors.

This mode of industrialized life manufacturing not only amazed the technicians of the Biological Department of the Human Empire, but also made them feel instinctively "disgusted".

Because these data comparisons clearly show the core differences——

The clone soldiers produced by Atlas and the Human Empire are like sophisticated mechanical creations, with a set of instructions for absolute obedience implanted in their brains.

Those pale faces will never dream, will never question orders, and will not even feel fear when death comes.

The technicians in the Biology Department were accustomed to this; they were just breathing tools of war.

But when the scene switched to the cloning facility on Kamino, each clone was having a different "dream" in the culture fluid, and their brain wave monitoring graphs showed a unique fluctuation curve.

Even more astonishing were some of the spectrometer readings, and those pale blue energy fields showed that these replicated bodies were most likely inhabited by real souls.

The human empire's cloning chamber can produce a standard combat unit in twenty days, while the Kaminoans need a full two years.

In addition, the holographic image shows a comparative diagram of the neural development of the two in a timely manner.

The clones of the Prime Universe Empire are like carefully trimmed bonsai, but the synapses of the Kamino clones grow freely like wild trees.

At this moment, Sui Yang's gaze was fixed on a clone who was "observing" the outside world through the glass of the culture chamber.

The young fellow blinked slowly in the liquid, his pupils flashing with a gleam of curiosity, the kind of look that shouldn't appear in the eyes of a mass-produced war machine.

Sui Yang finally understood why the Jedi Knights fought for the rights of clones when watching the films, animations and TV series of the Star Wars series. Because those were not just "tools", but "people" with death dates written in advance.

The data stream unfolded before Sui Yang's eyes, revealing the unique nature of this marine race.

The Kaminoans are like sophisticated biological computers, and their ethics are completely different from those of conventional civilizations.

This race, which reproduces through asexuality, views genetic engineering as a pure art form, and the hologram switches to their archives, which display customized biological weapon designs for hundreds of civilizations, each marked with a customer satisfaction score but no ethical risk assessment.

Sui Yang had to admit that Kamino's cloning technology was indeed impressive.

Intelligence obtained by the Investigation Department based on the Battle of Scarif showed that their clone soldiers were comparable to the biological weapons cultivated by the human empire using biochemical agents and viruses in terms of muscle density, nerve reaction speed and battlefield adaptability.

Particularly noteworthy is its genetic stability, which can maintain very stable original characteristics even after dozens of generations of continuous replication.

Therefore, as the integration of "Star Wars" progresses, he plans to incorporate the Kaminoans into the Empire's ruling system and comprehensively improve the production chain of clone soldiers.

But the premise of all this is that a strict control mechanism must be established.

The corresponding treatment plan immediately appeared on the hologram, which was to retain the precision of its gene editing, but to implant the standard control protocol of the Human Empire.

The most important thing is to completely eliminate the "breeding" module of the clones, so that only absolutely obedient combat shells will be born in those culture chambers.

Sui Yang is well aware of the uncontrollability of the soul. Even the most perfect clone, once it has free will, it may become a breakthrough for chaos corrosion.

Then, he lightly stroked the air with his fingertips, and a holographic image emitting a faint blue light dissipated in the air of the meditation hall like smoke.

Then, Sui Yang completed a brief review of the battle situation in the Star Wars universe.

After losing Darth Vader, the core commander, the heretics and demonic forces fell into the expected chaos. The enemy forces in various areas are now like a group of beheaded snakes. Although each broken limb is still twisting wildly, they have lost their unified offensive rhythm.

On the previous tactical star map, the red threat area that was originally connected is now broken into dozens of isolated spots.

Some heretic fleets and troops have already formed organizations of the nature of Chaos war gangs, and have even begun to kill each other for resources, that is, for star regions and planets with large populations, or large numbers of sacrifices.

Although such enemies are still terrifying, they are no longer an absolute threat.

And this divided situation greatly reduced the pressure on the Empire's defense line, especially the pressure on Sigismund and others who were forced to stay on Tatooine. However, Sui Yang knew very well that as long as the subspace rift in Coruscant still existed, the situation of the war could be reversed at any time.

Therefore, Lorgar and Curze must deal with the hidden danger of Coruscant as soon as possible, otherwise once the demon primarchs and chaos Astartes from the "Warhammer 40k" universe get involved in the reality on the other side, it will become a protracted tug-of-war.

The Alphas sent by Sui Yang to "Warhammer 40k" were unable to pass information and intelligence to him by any means. After all, it was impossible to achieve it through technological means, and if psychic power was used to "send dreams", it would most likely be detected by the group of demons.

The group of children could only rely on themselves at the other end, but Sui Yang had absolute confidence in them.

Even if they encounter danger, they can turn it into safety.

At this time, Sui Yang on the golden throne leaned back slightly.

Sui Yang doesn't need to worry too much about Luojia and Koz.

Although the fighting styles of these two Primarchs are completely different, the fanatical faith of the Word Bearers is like golden flames, and the treacherous tactics of the Night Lords are like dark fog, but they both have similar blood.

After all, she is the descendant of his original body. No matter what, she is much stronger than Athena and Hera, so there is no need for him to intervene directly.

Just as a human father must eventually let go and allow his adult children to stand on their own, Sui Yang is also well versed in the "art" of ruling the Primarch.

Excessive intervention would not only undermine their dignity, but would also hurt the self-esteem of those proud souls, because these perfect creatures hate being treated as children who need to be over-protected.

Therefore, unless it concerns their lives, Sui Yang will not easily give up. Then, he will focus on other matters.

One Earth Day later.

When the reinforcements from Yavin 4 finally tore through the veil of reality and appeared in orbit around Tatooine, the light of the twin suns dimmed.

Nearly a hundred Imperial Fists ships opened fire simultaneously. The gunfire from the bows looked like revived war totems in the reflection, launching the first round of artillery attacks on the heretic fleets and demonic creatures entrenched here.

This sudden volley of fire instantly formed a metallic storm, instantly obscuring the star's brilliance.

The azure arcs of the electromagnetic cannon and Gauss cannon, and the fiery blue fireballs of the plasma cannon, intertwined into a web of death, tearing the formation of the Chaos fleet into pieces.

On the battlefield, Athena's spear of victory turned into a golden lightning across the sky.

The artifact pierced through three Chaos cruisers attempting to escape, blasting a cloud of fire mixed with Warp energy into space.

Hera stood at the highest point of the desert and chanted an ancient spell, causing thorny olive vines to grow continuously in low-Earth orbit in violation of the laws of physics. These sacred plants madly entangled the Chaos ships, purifying their corrupt crew and hulls into ash petals flying all over the sky.

At this point, the situation on Tatooine was completely eased.

However, the Imperial Fists led by Sigismund and the innocent people of Tatooine suffered heavy losses.

The bodies of civilians piled up like mountains. Those who failed to evacuate in time were either corrupted by Chaos and turned into zombies, or became sacrifices to the demonic carnival.

The most regrettable thing is the ending of Jabba the Hutt.

This criminal giant who once dominated the Outer Rim star region had his bloated body torn apart by the Nurglings like a cake.

When the demon's teeth bit through his fat layer, the gangster godfather actually smiled with relief amidst the severe pain. Perhaps compared to being slowly corrupted by chaos, an instant death was a mercy.

At the same time, the fleet that evacuated millions of people from Tatooine also returned to Yavin 4 to receive supplies.

After crossing the space gate, the Word Bearers and the Night Lords led by the two Primarchs ended their jump voyage and arrived at the star system where Coruscant was located when the results appeared in the two locations.
