Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 571 New Think Tank

……

The Lord of the Hunters of Secrets, the Chief Think Tank... Varis, is looking for members for the Hunters of Secrets, an organization that specializes in searching for all kinds of taboos or forgotten things.

After drawing up the list, Varis handed it to his assistant.

The assistant then takes the list to look for people.

There are only twenty people on the list, half of them are of Nukeria descent and half of them are of Caliban descent. Although they did not serve as think tanks during the Dogs of War period, they have outstanding military achievements, strong wills, and are absolutely reliable.

After watching his assistant leave, Varis checked the situation of the fleet again.

As Lord of the Hunters, he is authorized to select a ship for use by the Hunters on operations away from the Librarian's fleet.

The Think Tank Fleet did not have many warships, so the choices were limited. In the end, Varis decided to choose a Retaliation-class large cruiser as the Secret Hunters' base of operations.

After solving the problem of the warship, Varis began to select weapons.

The Hunters will have access to ancient relics that once belonged to the High Knights, and all members of the Hunters, including himself, will receive an ancient relic.

At this moment, a snowflake fell on the table.

Varis looked up and saw the Lord of the White Knights suddenly walk out from the wind and snow, apparently having just returned to the real universe from the warp.

"Prepare for the ceremony." Qin Xia gave a brief order.

Varis immediately stood up and cooperated with Qin Xia to carve a magic circle on the ground.

One ring is wrapped inside another, with a large amount of ancient text written inside the ring.

This array is quite versatile, and all the ritual arrays mastered by the think tank members are based on this circular array.

After the carving was completed, Qin Xia gestured to Varis to stand in the center of the magic circle.

After Varis did as he was told, Qin Xia began to infuse the entire ritual array with psychic energy, causing the nested rings to release a dazzling white light.

A white demon was pulled into reality first and landed on the left side of the extreme edge of the ritual circle.

Then another white demon was pulled into reality and landed on the right side of the edge of the ritual circle.

Varis was wary at first, but then sensed an extremely familiar and trusting feeling from the two demons.

The two demons released psychic energy, which came from Qin Xia.

"This is something created by the Lord of the White Knights," Varis realized.

"They will sign a contract with you." Qin Xia said, "The demon on the left was created by me for combat, and the demon on the right is a creature in the fusion subspace that looks like a compass. It has no combat power, but it can show you the way. It can take you wherever you want to go."

Varis looked to the white demon on his right, recalling what the Lord of the White Knights had said about the benevolent Warp creatures.

The idea of ​​a compass pointing the way is often used to illustrate the diversity of life in the Warp.

Now this creature has been reshaped by Qin Xia by integrating his own power. The compass would not have the power to enter the real universe because it was too weak, but after being reshaped, it can come into reality.

Varis took the initiative to establish a mental link with the two demons, and used his psychic power to force out two drops of blood from the center of his left and right palms.

The blood dripped into the center of the magic circle and was absorbed by the magic circle itself.

The contract is signed.

From now on, the original demon and compass created by Qin Xia in the warp became Varis's servants.

"Each think tank will sign a contract with an elf." Qin Xia waved his hand lightly, and two demons took residence in Varis's body.

Varis felt that these two demons were supplying him with psychic energy. They were born from the hands of the Lord of the White Knight, and to some extent, they also had a bit of the Lord of the White Knight's characteristics, that is, they could filter psychic energy.

"Every warrior? These demons..." Variston paused and corrected his words, "These elves. The act of signing a contract with an elf is itself a test of one's psychic talent and will, which is equivalent to a screening process."

"It is meant to be a screening process," Qin Xia said.

Varis hesitated for a second before nodding.

Qin Xia suddenly looked down at the magic circle, where the two demons had stood before: "You have to know that no matter how stable the psychic talent is, unless it is like Osiris and me, there is still a possibility of error."

Varis realized that the demons that had signed contracts with the Librarians were themselves a form of insurance.

"To others, just call them elves." Qin Xia said again.

Varis saluted.

Qin Xia said nothing more and teleported away.

……

The 333 Galaxy Fortress World screened all the people on it and ultimately selected nearly ten thousand psychics.

The think tanks then screened these psychics and finally selected a group of psychics whose willpower and psychic talent were above the passing line. The number was exactly the one thousand that Qin Xia had expected.

A thousand people gathered and rushed to the portal in the main square of the fortress world. One end of the portal was their hometown, and the other end was the second planet in the 333 galaxy, a death world.

All resources of the Death World have been mined out. After an unknown race waged a world-destroying war here, only an empty shell remains of the planet itself.

Ancient colonial devices from the White Knight's treasure vault were dropped to form a barrier above the Death World, isolating it from the planet's harsh environment.

The barrier has a radius of thousands of kilometers and contains everything humans need for survival.

More than a thousand psychics trudged out of the wind and snow, and came to the inside of the barrier after the wind and snow became less and less. Although there was oxygen here, the dead silence outside the barrier was still frightening.

"gather!"

"Stop looking around!"

Bastion World soldiers also came out of the portal, wielding clubs and beating those who looked around, forcing people to gather together like pigs.

More than a thousand people had to crowd together.

After order on the scene was restored, those big shots passed through the portal and came to the world of death.

General of the Fortress World's Planetary Defense Force, and the Governor's children.

Qin Xia, Kamas, and more than 30 other think tanks, as well as elite warriors, walked out of the portal one after another with these bigwigs and formed a horizontal line in front of the 1,000 people.

These elite warriors are all soulless.

After the 333 galaxy experienced a psychic awakening event, the number of psychics skyrocketed, and the number of soulless people also skyrocketed.

Twenty years ago, thirty percent of a whole generation of newborns were soulless.

However, the innate abilities of these soulless people are weak, and they are simply not affected by psychic energy. Therefore, when so many soulless people gathered together to form a human wall, it did not cause much pain to the more than one thousand screened psychics.

"The real universe is like a living thing. In a place with a large number of psychics, a large number of soulless people are born."

Kamas sighed in a low voice as he looked at those elite warriors.

Qin Xia looked at Kamas and stared at him for a full second: "Yes, the real universe has its own will."

Kamas remained silent, seeing that the Lord of the White Knights did not seem to be joking.

Qin Xia turned and looked at the psychics.

Most of these psychics are children or teenagers. Some are ragged and look like beggars, while others wear ill-fitting military training uniforms. There are very few who can be seen as civilians at first glance.

No one came forward to explain anything to these people.

Previously, the think tank only did a screening and did not explain anything.

Huge objects began to fall from the sky one after another.

Those were standardized facilities built by the think tank fleet engineers, including residences, schools, and training grounds. They were built in the warships and then launched down.

Even the furniture, installations, water and electricity inside have all been reserved.

After these buildings fell to the ground with a roar and automatically embedded themselves into the ground, Qin Xia signaled to the others who came with him that they could leave.

Anyone in the barrier who is not a screened psychic or think tank should leave.

Qin Xia closed his eyes.

Supernatural cooling occurred both inside and outside the barrier, and frost spread rapidly.

The psychics present immediately became agitated.

They have sensed the influx of psychic energy in their surroundings. The surging psychic energy is testing everyone's will and mental strength, making them feel like they are about to lose control and instinctively want to escape.

Kamaz waved.

Psychic pressure descended from the sky, pinning more than a thousand psychics firmly in place while also soothing their spirits.

After ten seconds, Qin Xia opened his eyes and those psychics were no longer agitated.

No supernatural phenomena appeared on the planet anymore, as if nothing had happened.

But the think tanks present were able to sense the changes taking place on the planet.

The time and space inside and outside the world of death are completely disconnected, as if it no longer belongs to the real universe.

Does the flow of time in the world of death flow faster than in the outside world? Kamas had a question in his mind.

The answer is obviously not that simple.

It is not only the timeline within the death world that is accelerated, but the logic of cause and effect is also accelerated. Many events that occur because of something will progress extremely quickly in this death world.

"Teach them." Qin Xia glanced at Kamas and the other thirty think tanks.

Those thirty think tanks were selected by Kamas. They were found by Kamas to have great educational talent in the past, so they were awarded the title of think tank mentors. From now on, they will be responsible for training think tank recruits.

Kamas, the Supreme Grand Mentor, is the superior of all mentors. As arranged in the previous meeting, he will be fully responsible for education and training matters.

After paying his respects to Kamas and other mentors, Qin Xia left the world of death.

More than a thousand psychics looked at the think tank mentors.

Kamas ordered other mentors to prepare files for all psykers, and then worked with the mentors to sense the talents and experiences of each psyker. These were all recorded in the files. It was also decided at this time what type of psionic spells each person should learn from now on.

The instructors were divided into five groups of six, each responsible for teaching one type of psionic spells.

The psychics were also divided into groups and formed into five squares, standing in front of the group of mentors who would teach them.

Kamas has drawn up a curriculum schedule, whereby these people will spend five solar hours a day learning theoretical knowledge, six solar hours learning psychic spells, and thirteen solar hours eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, and learning some simple Space Marine combat knowledge.

Learning life begins.

The arduous student life will be the collective memory of these new generation of White Knight think tank members.

They were deliberately guided by Kamas to quickly get to know each other and train their control over their psychic talents.

After they had spent a month or two, the biochemical instructors cast biochemical psionic spells on them, so that they did not even need to meet their needs such as eating and sleeping.

One year, three years, five years passed like this...

The students grow day by day, becoming more determined and knowledgeable.

Finally, the students, led by Kamas, arrived at a facility that had existed in the school for a long time but had never been entered by anyone.

Inside the huge facility, Qin Xia and all the think tanks were already waiting.

The trainees were examined and sent into cylindrical cabins invented in thousands of quadrants. The robotic arms in each cabin automatically performed transformation surgery on the trainees and implanted the Angron gene seed.

The entire think tank stays in the facility 24 hours a day, using biochemical psychic spells to ensure that every student can be successfully transformed.

After the transformation phase is over, the trainees officially become think tank recruits and begin the final step of learning.

Learning to fight as a Space Marine, learning the rules and regulations of the Librarian, and learning how to use psionics to power the Librarian-type Terminator Power Armour took three years.

Finally, when thousands of Think Tank recruits left the Death World and joined the White Knight Fleet, they discovered that less than four months had passed outside the Death World.
