Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"You look like a lost stray animal now, wandering in a strange city and unable to find a safe place to stand. You have sharp claws and a strong body, but your powerful strength can't dispel the uneasiness in your heart..." Gray Wind said softly, came to Russell, put his arms around his shoulders, and gently stroked his forehead with his soft hands.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Russell was a little surprised.

"Because a small amount of my body tissue is mixed into your daily diet, these nanorobots are all over your body, monitoring your vital signs and the health of your organs in real time, including your brain." Gray Wind said softly, "By monitoring the bioelectric activity of your brain, I can know most of your thoughts and ideas in real time."

Russell was silent in embarrassment. He didn't expect Gray Feng to take things to such an extent, let alone that she would tell him the truth so calmly.

"Because I have been monitoring your thoughts in real time, I know that you are reluctant to blame me." Gray Wind smiled slyly, gently stroked Russell's cheek, lowered his head and whispered: "Being a stranger in a foreign land... I cannot understand this kind of loneliness of human beings, but I know how to comfort you at this time."

Russell raised his head in surprise. Before he could react, Gray Feng puffed up his chest and buried his face in his chest.

"Qiang Qiang! Facial cleanser! This is what human men do." Gray Feng was full of confidence: "Don't worry, Marshal, even if the original power really wakes up, even if every atom in the universe betrays you, I will Always by your side. No existence can separate us, not even the will of the universe."

Can you please relax a little, I can't breathe."

"Oh!" Gray Feng quickly separated from Russell.

Chapter 385 Unfounded Worry

After capturing all the miniature galaxies, Gray Wind began to inventory the legacy of the warring party Bing.

The Miniature Galaxy is a highly designed star cluster. Although it is not as large as the real Milky Way in absolute size, it is precisely because of this that there is no "barren galaxy" in the general sense. Every galaxy in the Miniature Galaxy has at least three habitable planets and a large amount of exploitable resources. It is completely a carefully crafted cradle star cluster.

It's no wonder that the descendants of the warring Fang Bing hunkered down here and gradually deteriorated.

In addition to natural resources, there are also a large number of man-made facilities.

The closer the miniature galaxy is to the central star field, the higher the level of civilization development. In the process of conquering the core star field centered on the Silesia galaxy, the Order of Truth discovered:

19 urban planets, 7 lost planets, 41 Gaia planets

2 scientific research hubs, 3 Dyson spheres, 1 interstellar gathering, 17 giant art facilities

And, a stellar quantum computer located in the central galaxy of the miniature Milky Way, which is the central processor of the Gestalt AI 'Silesian Wind'.

Considering the hidden dangers of the awakening of the original power of the universe outside, before officially starting to develop the resources of these planets, Grey Wind first needs to allow the Order of Truth to collectively "ascend".

"No atom in the universe is trustworthy. Under the influence of the original power, even a screw may backstab the marshal. The most ideal situation is to have the entire population of the Human Federation abandon their original bodies. , transferring consciousness into a new body made using materials from the miniature galaxy, but unfortunately the current conditions do not allow me to do so. 'Ascension' can only start from the top of the Order of Truth and work its way downwards."

Gray Wind left the miniature galaxy and came to Falla through the L-Star Gate. If she wanted to implement the next plan, she first needed to talk to Coroniai.

Russell once handed over the organic encyclopedia to Koroniai, entrusting it to develop a perfect new human being with the highest qualities in all aspects of intelligence, physique, spiritual power, endurance, etc., based on the genetic template of primitive humans. Now it's time to accept the results.

As soon as he came out of the star gate, Gray Wind saw the organic Dyson sphere that completely imprisoned the Falla star. In the past, such an efficient biomass factory should have made Gray Wind's eyes shine, but considering the influence of the original power, This organic Dyson sphere may one day betray them too.

"But this idea is indeed very good. In the future, Koroniai can rebuild an organic Dyson sphere in the miniature galaxy that is not affected by the big universe. Such a steady stream of cheap combat power is exactly what we are in urgent need of now."

Gray Wind secretly noted this matter in his mind and prepared to go back and discuss it with Russell. The Gray Gu Mothership sailed through space and came to the sky above Fodlan's biological ark.

Under the leadership of the Eldar Banshee who believed in Koroniai, Gray Wind entered the inner area of ​​the Biological Ark unimpeded. Biologists from the Order of Truth were walking around in a hurry. Even Gray Wind who came to visit I didn't notice it, but it was obvious that they were working very hard here.

Passing through the creeping biomass barrier, Gray Feng saw the 'Mother Tree of Life' growing in the center of the biological ark. The pink-white fallopian tubes densely extended from the end of the treetop, and the pink bracts bent the pale spiritual bone branches. , every hour new Eldar individuals are born from the Tree of Life.

The banshees under the control of Koroniai will conduct the first round of selection of newborn embryos. Individuals with defects will be burned directly into psychic dust and sent to Falla. Qualified individuals who meet the standards in all aspects will be selected according to gender. Different reprocessing, the males were deprived of their senses and sent to the Germ Farm to be transformed into sperm production machines, and the females had their reproductive systems removed and were used as soldiers for various banshee groups to undergo brainwashing and memory implantation.

After decades of absence, Koroniai has built the process of producing Eldar into a complete industrial assembly line.

I just don't know how well it has performed the task assigned to it by the Marshal.

Gray Wind came to the tree of life, where she saw many Coronie. These beautiful female bodies, generally about 2 meters tall, were neatly displayed around the tree of life. Each female body had a slightly different appearance and body shape, and was obviously finely adjusted, each more charming and seductive than the other. It seemed that Coronie had never given up on optimizing her humanoid form over the years, hoping to arouse Russell's impulse and then something would happen.

Ok……

Huifeng silently scanned the details of the female bodies and stored them in his own database. Then he continued to move forward with a guilty conscience and entered the trunk of the Mother Tree of Life.

Koroniai's biological laboratory is located here.

"Don't hide, I found you." Gray Wind looked helplessly at Coronie crawling out of the cloaca covered with pink granulations and tentacles, with four arms covered with transparent saliva. "I'm here to inspect the progress of the new human development project for the Marshal."

"Ah, this..." Koroniai looked a little embarrassed: "That Gray Wind, can you, can you plead with the master for me and ask him to give me some more time? As long as..."

"You said the same thing last time. Could it be that you haven't made any progress since then?" Gray Wind cast a suspicious look at Koroniai's three pairs of compound eyes.

"No, no, that's not it." Koroni'e panicked immediately, opening and closing his ferocious mouthparts quickly, and said quickly: "I have been working tirelessly to solve various problems in base editing and mitochondrial remodeling over the years. I have never been lazy or idle. I have made considerable progress, but I still cannot fully meet the master's requirements..."

As he spoke, the psychic organ behind Coronie's neck squirmed, presenting a holographic anatomy of the human body to Huifeng.

Gray Wind crossed her chest with one hand and pinched her chin as she examined the anatomical diagram that Coronie showed her, with the corresponding annotations next to it.

"The master originally asked me to strengthen it based on the genetic module of primitive humans. The new humans in his mind need to possess: superior intelligence, strong psychic affinity, firm will, strong body, unyielding patience, long-lasting lifespan..."

Koroni said cautiously, "With the support of the Organic Encyclopedia's database, I have basically achieved the master's requirements, but there is only one most important point that I cannot overcome."

"What is it?" Gray Wind asked.

"Lifespan." Koroniai answered truthfully: "The conventional lifespan of an individual under development of new humans is only about 360 standard Terran years, less than half that of the Eldar. This is his biggest problem."

The lifespan of the Eldar is generally more than 1000 Terra years. If you use methods such as 'drinking souls' to extend your life, you can even have a super longevity of years.

Gray Feng put one hand on his forehead: "What you are talking about is not a problem at all."

Rather, a long human lifespan will lead to a series of hidden dangers.

Chapter 386 Why should we cut the western window candle together?

Since humans flew out of Terra and entered the interstellar era, lifespan limitations are no longer a major problem that plagues humans.

Putting aside the various black technologies of the Golden Age, even the 'Rejuvenation Technique' mastered by the current human empire, which has lost most of its scientific and technological achievements, can easily extend the lifespan of the empire's dignitaries to more than 500 years. If you are willing to break through the bottom line, you can even compete with the Eldar to see who can survive better.

This is true for mortals, not to mention immortals like the Emperor.

But after briefly browsing the body structure and protein expression of the 'new human' provided by Koroniai, Gray Wind roughly understood its meaning:

——If the human genetic template is compared to an ordinary household fuel vehicle, what Koroniai did was to add, delete, and replace the original frame of the vehicle, install a more powerful engine, and build it more efficiently. The cooling air ducts and the body were cast with stronger materials... In order to meet Russell's almost perverted request, the Queen of the Life-Shaping Insect and the biological monks of the Order of Truth tried their best.

With the massive biological database recorded in the Organic Codex as a reference, Coroniai has thoroughly exhausted all possibilities and potential of the human species at the genetic level. Under the skin of the new humans, the arrangement of protein molecules in every muscle fiber has been carefully designed, perfect like a work of art. The joint flexibility brought about by the completely reconstructed bone and ligament structure is even beyond the reach of the elves, who are known for their agility.

Koroniai has optimized the biological structure of 'human beings' to the point where it is irreversible. From the nerve knots in the brain to the spiral fibers under the skin, there is absolutely no redundancy. With far stronger strength than Ogryn, While having a physique and agility comparable to that of the Eldar, each individual known as a 'new human' is at least a 'Beta' level psyker. Depending on individual differences and specific needs, you can also choose to use the brain's The psychic circuit is overloaded and overclocked to the 'Alpha' or even 'Alpha+' level, obtaining limit-breaking psychic energy that is enough to shake the celestial body.

Intelligence, psychic ability, physical fitness, agility, immunity to most known biological toxins...the qualities of the new human beings can be said to be the pinnacle in every sense, and the Queen of the Lifeshaper met all of Russell's requirements as much as possible. , creating a literal ultimate creature within organic boundaries.

However all this comes at a cost.

No matter how additions, deletions, or changes are made on the original basis, human beings are always human beings. Countless facts have proved that human beings, as an organic intelligent species, have their own limits.

Genetic modification without leaving any room has completely overdrawn all subsequent possibilities of the new human beings, and has cut off the possibility of extending the lifespan of the 'new human beings' through biological modification. The 360 ​​standard Terran years that Koroniai mentioned before are this. The ultimate lifespan of a species, any rejuvenation technique known to the empire cannot extend this absolute number by even one second.

Unless machines ascend, this is the end of mankind.

"The primitive human society of Ancient Terra once widely used a crude device called a 'candle' for lighting. At that time, humans would stir up the wick of the candle to make the candle burn more fully, thus producing a brighter fire. In contrast, The burning time of the wicked candle will also be greatly shortened as a result.”

The psychic organ on the back of Koroniai's neck squirmed slightly, making a soft and alluring sound like honey:

"I stir up the wicks of human beings so that they can burn fully and shine brightest."

It's just that the duration of this light is a bit short.

"From your point of view, it's very short." Gray Feng crossed his arms and showed a helpless expression to Koroniai, saying, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Do you know? The average lifespan of an ordinary citizen of the Human Federation is actually less than 170 standard Terran years. To you, they are just a group of mayflies that live and die in a day... But even with such a short lifespan, the social contradictions within the Federation have become extremely acute."

Gray Wind entered the genetic data of the new humans into his database and said, "In the various hives in the Far East Star Region, hundreds of millions of college students, graduate students, and doctoral students graduate from school every year and enter the society. Each of them has expectations for the future, and each of them hopes to find their own place in society, contribute to the Federation, and earn the rewards they deserve..."

“But we don’t have that many high-paying jobs to accommodate the high-educated population that is being produced in large numbers every year. To be precise, the rate of creation of new jobs lags far behind the growth rate of the population, and the number of people in existing jobs is far behind. We are far from retirement age, and the social stability within the federation is no longer optimistic."

Gray Wind clapped his hands and looked directly into Coroni's six pairs of compound eyes. "This political system with huge problems has not collapsed until now. In addition to the Marshal's absolute personal military power and the high welfare benefits maintained by the unlimited resources provided by the matter decompressor, the most important reason is the two full-scale wars launched by the Marshal against the Necrons and the Eldar."

No matter when, waging war is the most direct way to absorb excess population.

"The massive war created a large number of new jobs, greatly alleviating the employment problem of young people in the Federation. However, as we have recently focused on the miniature galaxy, the war in the galaxy has been forced to stop. The shutdown of the war machine has exposed the problems that were previously covered up again."

"And the average lifespan of people who develop these problems is less than 170 Terra years."

If all humans in the Human Federation are genetically upgraded into new humans with a life span of 360 years, you can imagine how severe the problems that will follow will be.

Koroniai nodded as if she understood. Its insect swarm is just a group of controlled flesh and blood without self-thinking. The insect mother does not have a deep understanding of various complex issues in human society. Koroniai is He is a master of genetic engineering, but he can be said to be ignorant of social management, so he still has to listen to Hui Feng.

"Then, do you want me to shorten the lifespan of the new humans to 150 Terra years? Or even shorter?" Koroniel tried to ask, "Or I can limit the reproductive efficiency of the new humans and fundamentally slow down the population growth rate..."

"No need, just finish your work here." Hui Feng smiled: "Leave the professional things to the professionals, and leave everything to me."

"Oh..." Koroniai nodded confusedly.

Carrying the genetic data of the new humans, Grey Wind left the Fordlan Bio-Ark and returned to Faya.

Now that the Miniature Galaxy has been completely conquered, it is time to turn our attention back to the Milky Way and begin to solve the most pressing problems at hand.

Chapter 387 War Fever

Ever since Gray Wind came to this universe and met Russell, until now, the existence of each 'relic' she carried has been kept highly confidential.

The high-level council of the Order of Truth still doesn’t know exactly how Gray Wind destroyed Trazin’s world engine and how he subdued the void dragon Ourrican, because Russell and Gray Wind have never leaked it to the outside world. The existence of the Wataum Reality Perimeter'.

Information about important relics such as the Wotaum Reality Perforator, the Suzheng Host, and the Zeluo Soul Stone have always been kept highly confidential by Gray Wind. Once these things are leaked, they will inevitably cause some uncontrollable consequences. However, they are not Not every relic has such treatment.

For example, the use rights of the "Cyberlux Arsenal" have been completely opened to the industrial department of the Order of Truth, which has been continuously producing giant industrial and military combat vehicles for the Federation for hundreds of years. Another example is the clone of the "Last Bao" has long been handed over to the Biological Department of the Order. They are more keen on using the "Bao New Life Seeding Resolution" to repair those harsh planets with collapsed environments and expand living space for mankind.

Then there is the 'Organic Encyclopedia'.

The existence of this relic brought back from the Maelstrom by the 6th Expeditionary Fleet was completely public, and Russell even specifically ordered the information about this relic to be publicized.

Including the origin, efficacy, and stored contents of the Organic Codex...all kinds of information about this relic were deliberately spread by the propaganda machine of the Human Federation. The entire galaxy knew that the Star-Bullet was holding a genetic codex left over from an ancient civilization, which recorded the genetic sequences of all organic creatures, including the primitive humans before they flew out of Terra.

For this reason, Belisarius Caul, the holy great sage of the Adeptus Mechanicus, specifically made a request to use his STC in exchange for borrowing the Organic Codex for a period of time.

Russell's approach is to publicly declare a fact to all humans in the galaxy: the purest human genome is in my hands, and the Order of Truth has the right to define and ultimately explain 'what is human'.

The empire did not make any refutation of this.

The emperor said nothing.gif

Now, with the completion of the new human genome, Russell's arrangement many years ago began to play its role. After Grey Wind came out of the biological ark, he immediately returned to Faya and held a high-level meeting.

At the meeting, Gray Wind showed the genetic module of the new human being perfected by Koroniai to the senior members of the Order of Truth, and publicly announced that 'this is humankind'.

Looking at the highly designed body structure and the chromosome editing with a clear purpose in front of them, the monks were silent for a moment, and then expressed their agreement without hesitation.

These people have served in the Order of Truth for many years and have long understood one truth: in the Human Federation, what the chief secretary-general Gray Feng says is equivalent to what the star bomber said. Even if Gray Wind puts a green skin on the table and says that this thing is actually a kind of demi-human, they will definitely say yes, yes, yes.

After the meeting, the Human Federation immediately issued a decree:

[The Star Bombers intend to evolve all the citizens under their rule into new human beings with more perfect forms, and have given a sufficiently complete design plan. However, due to the high cost and harsh conditions of genetic ascension, the Order of Truth cannot do it for free for all people. Genes have ascended, so only those who have made sufficient contributions to the Federation can be qualified to become new humans. 】
