Chapter 344 The Beginning of Transformation
His Majesty the Emperor communicated with the commander of his imperial army for a long time. During this period, Lu Mingfei stood aside and listened quietly and carefully;
Until the "Emperor's Claws" reluctantly said goodbye to the boy on the bronze throne, the tall and majestic figure was engulfed by the golden light of the teleportation matrix, returning to a universe that would be even more dangerous and terrifying in the future.
"What's your impression of these soldiers?" The boy then looked at Lu Mingfei again.
"Strong, calm, wise, and determined... Even if I were in the ten Astartes era, I would be defeated within a second if I met any of them." Lu Mingfei said truthfully.
Whether it was Trajan Valoris, the commander of the Imperial Guards, or the mysterious Imperial Guards wearing black and gold power armor, he was not confident that they could compete with each other; in addition, they were wearing unnamed golden armors. And advanced weapons, I am afraid that one person can match twenty Astartes warriors.
"Well, the Custodes are indeed ahead of the Astartes in all aspects," the boy nodded lightly, "They are the most perfect warriors I created in the Old Night, using the most advanced biotechnology of the Dark Ages to Their bodies and minds have been transformed and evolved in all aspects; and in addition to fighting, each of them is the top scholar in history, mastering countless things such as military, command, politics, history, art, diplomacy, management, philosophy, and craftsmanship. Knowledge."
"They are the embodiment of my most ideal human form. I have imagined that one day in the future, the entire human race will be able to sublimate to this perfect form..." The boy sighed quietly.
Lu Mingfei remained silent - the "Horus Heresy" that completely shattered all of this must be a permanent scar on His Majesty the Emperor.
"But you don't need to be discouraged." The boy seemed to comfort the wounded child inside. Instead, he took the initiative to comfort Lu Mingfei and stroked his shoulder. "Although you are not as good as them in terms of combat effectiveness and knowledge reserve, you have The one quality they lack now is the compassion to sacrifice one's life to protect the weak."
"The Forbidden Army is not perfect. Although they have extraordinary force and wisdom, during these ten thousand years, they have been locked up in the palace because of their obsession with me and the sins they have imposed on themselves. They have even become dull in their thinking. It was so transformed that even after the commander was killed, he would fall into temporary chaos, and things would not get better until Valoris took over as the new commander;"
The boy said, seeming helpless or having a headache and sighed.
"And you, once a cowardly soul who needed the protection and guidance of others, eventually grew into a warrior who protected others. Just like your Weeper brothers, you remained steadfast even if you were plagued by misfortune, not understood or even ostracized because of your origins. Go anywhere and sacrifice your life to protect humanity in my name.”
"This is the most precious quality, shining like a star in the darkness of that universe."
It was a supreme honor to be personally praised by His Majesty the Emperor, but Lu Mingfei still suppressed his inner joy very calmly. The Weeper's brothers needed this honor more than him.
"It is time to begin preparing you and your Legion for the surgery. Sergeant Alchemy."
"Come on, come on!"
A new transmission blue light appeared in the Star Hall, and Ronald Tang's figure appeared from the blue light, with a smile on his face as if he had been waiting for a long time. After saluting the boy, he immediately set his sights on the two extra black metal boxes, gearing up and looking impatient.
The boy raised his palm, and the golden light flowing from his fingertips turned into thin lines and floated towards one of the long metal boxes, as if printed on the box. The dark metal surface lit up with simple golden patterns. The boy Some mysterious and mysterious blockade on the box was lifted.
The moment the box was opened, Lu Mingfei clearly felt that the flow of time here seemed to have changed in some way.
The box contains a simple piece of technological equipment that is clearly different from the empire's rough military industry. The most eye-catching one is the hourglass device that stands in the center of four silver-white metal pillars and is constantly flipping upside down. You can peek through its transparent transparent glass. The fine sand that moves inside the hourglass is constantly dancing. After the box is opened, each grain of fine sand lights up, giving people the impression that the stars in the universe are dancing inside the hourglass.
"The 'Alternative Clock' is a time technology relic from the dark technological age;" He told Lu Mingfei and Old Tang about its origin and function. "After it is fully activated, the time it divides into its own domain will be directly It is independent from the outside world and grows at a high rate. One point and five Terra years in the domain are equivalent to one day at the normal time flow rate outside the domain.”
Lu Mingfei immediately understood the role this mysterious technological relic would play: to speed up the formation of the Sword of Revelation Legion!
Let’s take a look at the efficiency of the Human Empire’s Astartes army building, from the formation ordered by the Council of the High Lords of Terra, to the Cult of Mechanicus using mortal farms to cultivate a thousand sets of Astartes (the number of people in a Codex Chapter )'s gene storage glands will take nearly a hundred years;
Except for special cases like the Blood Angels, the normal time required for other Astartes Chapters' transformation surgeries is five to ten years (surgery begins in childhood), plus thousands of people are not undergoing surgery at the same time. Surgery, damage caused by the failure rate of surgery, weapons and equipment warships manufactured by the Mechanicum's Forge World were not available in time (some chapter establishments will have a special budget from the parent group, such as when the Emperor's Scythe Chapter was established) Several forge worlds supply equipment) and a series of complicated factors...
It takes at least two to three hundred years for a canon-sized Astartes to officially set sail to fight for the Emperor.
And now the Sword of Revelation has no gene seeds, no equipment, no forging world, no new soldiers... and it has to be a legion of more than 10,000 people. Lu Mingfei feels that it will take a long time to take shape.
But they have something that other Astartes legions don't have... They have the will of His Majesty the Emperor to preside over the overall situation!
"Put the Alien Clock in the core of the City of Miracles, and it will directly include this place in its domain."
The metal deformed and closed autonomously, and the boy handed the technological relic to Old Tang, while the alchemist sergeant carried the box and ran to another place on the teleportation matrix. Just when Lu Mingfei was curious about what magical technological relic was in the other metal box, he heard the boy change the subject:
"The technological relic just now is used as the establishment process of the legion, and before starting the transformation operation, you also have your own preparation process."
"My preparation... process?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.
"You need to learn more authentic historical knowledge and secrets of the human empire, not just one-sided records and oral legends, including the details of the Horus Heresy and the behind-the-scenes, the stories and secrets of the other 17 founding groups and their primarchs besides the Blood Angels, the foundation of the Imperial Church, the Grey Knights of the 666th Chapter... and so on."
"As the Lord of the Legion, you are nominally equal to your father, Saint Jervis, and you are qualified to know this sealed knowledge;" the boy's calm face showed a little helplessness, "and I don't want my new offspring to be stupid and bullied by the Inquisition when he returns."
