Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Russell's casual state was instantly adjusted back to normal, and he put on the appearance of a mysterious and tactful charlatan again, ordering the biological ark under his feet to move forward.

"The Vicious Woman, the Jealous Lady, the Unfaithful Truth, the Unfinished Business, the Eumenides..." Gray Wind arranged for the logistics ships to contact the returning fleet to enter the port for maintenance, and said to himself: "The main battleships are still there, only some small escort ships and destroyers have lost personnel."

Although the 6th Expeditionary Fleet first clashed with Governor Badab's private fleet, and then drifted deep into the Maelstrom for an unknown amount of time after fighting the Word Bearers...but overall the losses were not particularly serious, and the main ships were still there.

"Maybe it's the Emperor's blessing." said Plumeria, commander of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet and psychic director of the Order of Truth.

Chapter 247 Organic Money Printing Machine

"The Emperor bless you?" Gray Wind was curious.

"The Emperor bless you," Plumeria repeated.

Russell silently looked at the golden skeleton that was solemnly carried off the spacecraft surrounded by many devout priests, and thought that it was truly the blessing of the Emperor.

Perhaps the Emperor randomly selected a lucky believer to possess him, and then this lucky unlucky guy was burned dry of flesh and blood by the Emperor's divine power, leaving only a skeleton.

Then this skeleton has to be worshipped as a holy object by the believers of the state religion and worshiped every day... although this may be quite glorious for him?

"The 6th Expeditionary Fleet will stop in Faya for a while. After resting and replenishing, it will return to Badab through the stargate and continue the Terra expedition... But it doesn't matter. Has the Organic Codex been brought back?" Russell asked.

"Yes, yes!" Although she was the full-time head of the Psychic Department, this was actually the first time that Plumeria had actually met the leader. She suppressed her excitement and took out something similar to an electronic file chip from the inside of her coat and showed it to Russell: "I always carry it with me."

Russell nodded: "Very good, follow me."

As he said this, he turned and walked towards the interior of the Bio-Ark, with Coronie and Grey Wind following closely behind him. Seeing this, Plumeria also hurriedly followed.

The Bio-Ark was very large, and the distance from the surface to the interior on foot was equivalent to or even longer than walking around Terra, so not long after walking this section of the road, the group came to an area similar to a neural node and stopped. Then, Russell cast a teleportation spell.

——After a long period of assimilation and transformation by Coronia, the corpse of the Fordlan Ark World has transformed into a huge living biological mothership, and its entire body is covered by a huge biological neural field.

Under the suppression of the hive mind, the casting of all psychic spells without permission will become difficult, and dangerous spells such as long-distance teleportation are strictly prohibited. However, if the caster obtains permission from the hive mind, the effect of his spell will even be amplified.

Such as now.

The wave-like psychic halo flashed by, but the excitement in Plumeria's heart did not subside for a long time. As a powerful psychic, she could understand more deeply how unfathomable the power of the Star Bullet was than ordinary people with low psychic talent and Gray Wind who had no psychic power at all.

It's like... a bottomless abyss.

Before she could recover from the shock of the vast spiritual energy, Plumeria's blurred vision became clear again, the sweet fragrance of flowers drifted into her nostrils, and a blasphemous picture full of depravity unfolded before her eyes.

What appeared before her was a large tree with lush branches and leaves. Its trunk was pale spiritual bones, and its stems and branches were pink flesh with a slight purple tint. Countless filamentous organic veins hung down from the canopy that blocked out the sun, like countless umbilical cords hanging down a forest of flesh and blood, a single tree making up a forest.

At the end of each umbilical cord is connected to a pale pink flesh bud, in which a sticky liquid of suspicious composition flows, continuously injecting into the bud and nourishing the new life inside.

The Eldar." Plumeria was indeed the strongest psychic in the Order of Truth. She could tell the identities of the lives gestating in these buds simply by her spiritual perception.

"Yes, it's the Eldar." Gray Wind said with a smile: "Coroniai calls this tree the 'Tree of Life', the Marshal likes to call this place the 'Elf Factory', and I prefer to call it - the 'Organic Money Printing Machine'."

Organic money printing machine? Plumeria was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and smiled, "This is really, a very appropriate name."

Russell was shy and didn't dwell on this topic for long. He motioned for Plumeria to hand him the Organic Codex and said, "Although genetic engineering is not your professional field, you should know more or less about the Eldar's complex genetic code, which is an unsolvable mystery."

Plumeria nodded. This was basically common sense among the monks of truth.

Even though the genetic information of the Eldar was complex, he still managed to cultivate them on a large scale...

"Every queen life-shaper is a natural master of genetic engineering. Thanks to Coronia's help, I can accomplish some seemingly impossible things." Russell said, while the queen beside him proudly puffed out her chest, looking like she was really awesome.

Russell took the Organic Codex from Plumeria, handed it to Coronie, and said, "Then next, I have a new and important task for you."

"Please give your orders." Coroniai agreed immediately.

"Creating a new human being," Russell said lightly.

"Eh?"

"what?"

"What..." Plumeria was stunned, and for a moment she wondered if she was hallucinating.

"Wasn't I clear enough?" Russell looked at Coronie's stunned expression, a little confused.

"Well, I think I should be more clear." Koroni held the Organic Complete Codex in both hands, feeling uneasy: "What does it mean to create new humans?"

"Literally." Russell shrugged. "Grey Wind's database contains the genetic code data backup of the citizens of the Human Federation. Now, we have obtained the Organic Codex and a huge amount of organic genetic data."

"I require you to use the genetic template of the human federation metahuman as a base and the entire organic codex as a reference to design an ultimate creature that is infinitely close to perfection and create a brand new genetic template. That is the 'new human' I require."

"I require the new humans to have a strong body, intelligent talents, a developed brain nervous system, powerful psychic potential, a wide range of prosthetic tolerance, and extreme adaptability to different environments..."

Russell stated his request in a calm tone, and then looked into Coronie's eyes: "I know this is a difficult task that is beyond the reach of even you, so I will mobilize all the manpower of the three major departments of the Truth Order, namely biology, psychic energy, and machinery, to assist you. Are you willing to do your best to move towards my goal and get as close as possible to the 'ultimate creature' that I expect?"

As for whether the new humans created by the Insect Queen are human beings... I say yes, then they are.

Looking at his serious expression, Coronie felt his legs go weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The insect queen took a few deep breaths, her plump chest rising and falling violently. Finally, she calmed down and nodded solemnly: "If it were the old me, I might not be able to do it at all, but if there are so many organic gene samples as a reference, I... I am willing to go all out and give it a try."

Chapter 248 Differential Treatment

After half a year of rest and replenishment, the 6th Expeditionary Fleet left Faya again, taking the Badab system as its starting point, and once again embarked on the Terra expedition.

But this time there was no psychic supervisor Plumeria to lead them. The command of the expedition fleet was given to a general of the Imperial Navy.

Officially, the Far Eastern Star Region under the rule of the Order of Truth began to sign various military and resource orders with the Human Empire in the name of the "Human Federation", and spread news about the Blood Court through various channels.

Among the civilian population, Badab and Krona, the two star regions that were the first to connect to the stargate network, began to conduct trade exchanges using the Far East star region as a medium.

This kind of communication was tentative in the beginning, but when the first batch of merchants returned safely with a full load across the starry sea through the star gate network, driven by absolute interests, all doubts of the Empire towards this new federation disappeared.

After more than 20,000 years, the human world scattered throughout the galaxy finally broke free from the constraints of time and space and connected with each other through the L-Star Gate.

Government-run merchant fleets and privately owned wandering traders shuttled back and forth through the star gates. Interstellar merchant fleets with heavy artillery and huge ships recreated the bustling scenes of cities on the ground, and demonstrated with practical actions the philosophical words of the ancient Terra critic: if there is a 50% profit, it will take risks.

The profit margin of interstellar trade is far more than 50%.

"Although matter decompressors and nanotransformers provide us with theoretically endless resources, when it comes to some rare elements that are difficult to synthesize, it is more cost-effective and cheaper to import them from the star fields of the human empire than to produce them ourselves." Russell said this while sitting in his office in the Tranquil Black Domain Space Station.

He held a thumb-sized emerald green crystal in his left hand and an eyebrow pencil in his right hand. Three paper documents were placed on the table in front of him, waiting for signatures.

Gray Wind was sitting on the table to Russell's right. He curiously leaned over and saw the three documents:

A trade request from the Krona Mechanicus in the name of Archmagos Cawl, a trade request from the Dark Angels in the name of Primarch Lion el'Jonson, and a letter from the Lion King to the Star-Ballist.

"Who is Cole?" Grey Wind noticed that Russell's eyes stayed on the name for a long time.

"An interesting oil guy." Russell placed the emerald crystal in his hand in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, saying: "Belisarius Cawl is an ancient being who has survived for nearly ten thousand years. He is the most knowledgeable among the living Mekhanite believers... perhaps the only one? Cawl is responsible for the secret missions entrusted to him by the Emperor of Mankind and the Primarch Robert Guilliman, and he has been working hard for this for ten thousand years."

"I see..." Gray Wind jumped down from the table, leaned next to Russell and put his chin on his shoulder, and read the trade request proposed by Kaul in detail:

"It seems that Kaul has secretly collected intelligence about us and knows what we need. He proposed to use some precious ancient technologies as a reward in exchange for permission to consult the Organic Codex..." Gray Wind was a little confused: "Why does Kaul want to consult the Organic Codex?"

Is he also going to create a new human being?

"That's true." Russell put down the emerald crystal in his left hand and picked up a strand of silver hair that fell from Gray Wind's temples. "One of Cawl's secret undertakings was to improve and enhance the Space Marines and create a new batch of enhanced Space Marines. To do this, he used the artifact 'Blood Cup' and some dark technologies that were not worthy of being used on the stage."

And after finishing it, he was so narcissistic that he named a new Primaris organ after himself.

"If I can get permission to access the Organic Codex, I believe it will be helpful to Cawl's cause of upgrading the Primaris Space Marines." Russell picked up the emerald green sulfur crystal again.

Gray Wind nodded thoughtfully: "Should we agree to Kahl's request?"

"Why not?" Russell smiled and signed his name in the lower right corner of the document: "Chaos, Freeman Organization, Green Khan, Boundary Breaker... We are facing too many threats at this stage. Making the Human Empire stronger will also be of great benefit to the establishment of the Human Federation."

Russell was happy to give Empire a sip of milk whenever he had time, at least it could help him resist more injuries.

Apart from anything else, if the fortress galaxies of the Human Empire were not resisting high-dimensional invasions at great cost in various parts of the Extreme Star Field, he would now have to let the underdeveloped Human Federation fight against the Boundary Breakers.

No, that kind of thing.

"But you didn't sign the technical exchange agreement with the Kerenna Mechanicus." Gray Wind said quietly.

The documents about the Mechanicus are divided into two parts. One is the request of the Great Sage Cawl to consult the Organic Codex, and the other is the technology exchange agreement proposed by the Mechanicus. The Mechanicus servants in the star fields such as Krona and Badab want to obtain more little-known advanced technologies... such as the instruction manual of the Nanotransformer.

Russell knew that there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall, so he had already made preparations. The high-tech equipment such as the nano-transformer that was secretly circulated from underground had been deeply encrypted by the Tianji Project. They could be used as soon as they were received, but they could not be repaired if they broke, let alone manufactured.

This made the sages of the Mechanicus very angry... although most of the ancient machines in their hands were actually of this nature.

Russell did not immediately answer Grey Wind's doubts. He put aside the technical exchange agreement sent by the Mechanicus, and instead picked up the Dark Angels' military sales order and signed it smoothly.

"The Dark Angels knew how to exercise restraint. They did not directly ask to purchase finished warships, but instead made a second choice and asked for the priority supply of fluorite ore in exchange for the manufacturing templates of weapons and equipment such as psychic shields and fragmentation cannons."

Russell said to himself, "In addition, we also commissioned some industrial orders for ship keels, large plate armor, etc., which are not very technically demanding but very difficult to produce."

The Dark Angels plan to hand over the tedious parts of the ship production line with the lowest technical content to the Order of Truth, purchase the finished frames directly from the Human Federation, and then assemble equipment such as cogitator arrays and weapon shields themselves to improve their explosive ships. efficiency.

The current situation in the galaxy is not optimistic, and now that Ryan has returned, he will naturally use all the means within his reach to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Dark Angels.

This OEM order is a very smart move. While making full use of the powerful productivity of the Far East Star Region, it also avoids the embarrassing situation of being technically controlled by others. Buying the finished fleet directly from Russell like Governor Banhart Medius did can certainly form combat power as quickly as possible, but there is a risk of the Order of Truth secretly laying a backdoor program.

Obviously the Dark Angels did not want to be controlled by others, and they were willing to pay more for this. Russell saw it clearly.

"Don't you have a bad relationship with the Dark Angels? Why did you agree to sign an arms sales order with them?" Gray Wind was even more confused.

She really didn’t understand that the Adeptus Mechanicus, which was also a human empire and purely pursued the Gospel of the Machine God, should be a better partner to cooperate with. Why did the Marshal refuse the technical exchange with the Adeptus Mechanicus, but agreed to work for the Dark What about Tianzuo OEM?

"The cause and effect behind this...it's a bit complicated to explain." Russell thought for a moment and said, "I haven't told you a story for many years. How about I tell you one now?"

"Okay!" Huifeng narrowed his eyes happily.

Chapter 249 Ikaros Protocol

Gray Wind sat sideways on Russell's lap, holding a steaming cup of tea in his palm and sipping it in small sips.

Russell sorted out his thoughts and said, "Among all the 20 Astartes Legions, the First Legion is the most special one."

"Many have heard of the Space Wolves' Executioner Legion's notoriety, but few know that the Dark Angels, the First Legion, the Lion's Sons... are the true 'Executioners'. This Legion has been doing all kinds of shady things for the Emperor since its birth."

As Russell spoke, he casually picked up the Technical Exchange Agreement of the Mechanicus on the table, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and then said: "Gray Wind, what is your impression of the Mechanicus?"

Gray Wind opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air. After thinking for a while, he said, "If I have to say anything, it should be a group of conservative technical warlords who are self-centered. They monopolize almost all military and manufacturing industries within the human empire in the name of the servants of the machine god. Even the vast civilian industries and a large number of mineral planets are under the full control of the oil men."

"That's a very accurate summary." Russell nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the subject: "The Adeptus Mechanicus is so important and so powerful, and the influence of the Tech-Priests is deeply bound up with every aspect of the Imperium of Man. So have you ever thought about what would happen to the Imperium of Man if the Adeptus Mechanicus rebelled one day?"

"It will destroy the country." Gray Wind answered without hesitation: "Mars is as important to the human empire as Terra. No matter which head the two-headed eagle loses, it will only die."

"That's right." Russell nodded in agreement with Gray Wind's answer, took a sip of tea to moisten his lips, and continued, "And the existence and positioning of the Dark Angels is a strong insurance for the Adeptus Mechanicus."

"This insurance is called the Ikaros Protocol."

"The Great Crusade launched by the Emperor of Mankind is also known as the 'Reconquest Movement' by some people. 20 Astartes Legions and a large number of Imperial fleets set out to the starry sea under the leadership of the Emperor, across the galaxy. They searched for lost human colonies, slaughtered all aliens they saw, defeated feudal warlords who controlled one side, and... discovered the lost Golden Age technologies, mainly STCs."
