Chapter 276 Half-Elven
"I want to know what you think about this matter."
While speaking, Otto turned around calmly. At this moment, according to the picture sent back by the drone, the warrior named Levin in the landing field was hunting those Chaos Space Marines in black armor like a beast.
The frenzied appearance was no less imposing than the Chaos Spawn that had been rampaging on the battlefield before. The opponent at this time did not look like an elegant angel at all, but more like a barbarian wearing advanced power armor, or a berserker of Khorne.
The one who shouted "I am Sanguinius" while beating people with his fists until they were bruised and swollen was really a bit sick. Like a madman who was possessed, compared with the [Black Rage] of the Blood Angels, there was not much difference except that he would not call everyone Horus.
The Ash Angels call this state "Echo", mainly because when they fall into this state, they will always involuntarily imagine themselves as the legendary Archangel, imitating the actions of the Primarch Sanguinius through a series of illusions.
What confuses Otto even more is that according to a large number of experiments, these recruits in the "Echo" state do have some memories that do not belong to them, such as the childhood experience of the Primarch, the various past events during the Great Crusade, and even obscure history such as the Second Empire.
For all the above reasons, the Blood Angels dare not make their existence public. Since the provider of the gene seed is the Ash Alliance, the Blood Angels have always believed that this is a feature retained by the Alliance for some special purpose, but in fact Otto and the scientists of the Alliance are also confused about this.
Faced with the question, William Godwin, who stood in front of Otto, just stared at the screen with a pale face, and his slightly open and closed lips kept repeating the combination code of protein and gene sequence. It can be seen that the other party did not know which step had gone wrong.
After an unknown amount of time, Clara, who was standing next to William, suddenly expressed her opinion.
"Perhaps we should impose more restrictions on the individual's mental and memory levels. Judging from the performance of the experimental subject Levin, this overly rich emotion and empathy are obviously the main reasons for this consequence."
Obviously, the other party was dissatisfied with the attitude of Levin and his team towards civilians during the operation. The appearance of those survivors was an accident in this operation. If these recruits could be more resolute at the beginning, then theoretically there would be no subsequent disasters.
According to Clara's suggestion, they should further suppress the emotions of these soldiers during the transformation of the recruits to ensure that they can complete the task more efficiently. Although they are actually doing so now, the effect does not seem to be very obvious at the moment.
As time went on, the command room fell into silence, leaving only the mechanical noise of the electronic equipment in the room.
The reason why Otto was so concerned about this matter was mainly because he had made a decision now and planned to follow the Astartes system to establish a super legion led by the original knights.
Although the alliance now has a large number of gene warrior corps, they are indeed good at attacking cities and strongholds with the firepower of the front battlefield. A corps composed of gene warriors is like an indestructible wall, enough to crush most enemies on the battlefield with suffocating pressure.
But when it is necessary to make a breakthrough in certain specific locations or to carry out a long-term battle in a complex behind-the-enemy environment, the performance of these gene warriors is not so satisfactory.
In this case, a sharp knife team composed of super soldiers such as space warriors is the best choice. Although the [Wandering Souls] made by William can also complete similar tasks, compared with the former, the wandering souls are more like some kind of disposable props and are not suitable for long-term investment in a single action.
Originally, Otto planned to directly adopt the production method of the Ash Angel to mass-produce the offspring of Sanguinius using artificial wombs according to the plan, but the emergence of the [Echo] feature interrupted the progress of the plan. Before figuring out whether this thing is harmful, the alliance had to consider the backup plan prepared in advance.
Thinking of this, Otto once again set his eyes on William. At this moment, the young man with a gloomy face and pale skin was still staring at the screen, lost in deep thought.
"William, I want to know how your research on the Eldar is going?"
Hearing Otto call his name, the other party's lifeless eyes were obviously flustered for a moment. After briefly recalling what the other party had just said, he replied nervously.
"The success rate of gene chimerism has increased. I have found a very good Eldar mother for the experiment. Now the survival rate of subject No. 27 can reach more than 37%."
Fusing the Eldar with the modified human genes to give birth to a new individual with the advantages of both races is one of the backup plans proposed by Otto for the Alliance's Super Soldier Plan.
The offspring of elves and humans, if placed in other works, this is not a rare setting. The elves in some health books are even powerful enough to give birth to orcs and goblins.
But the Eldar in the Warhammer universe are different from their cousins. The fertility rate of these guys is simply terrible, and the complex gene sequence makes it almost impossible for them to combine with the genes of other races.
However, with William's efforts, he still found a faint possibility. Using the Eldar girl named Aisha who was brought back from the Ark of Asuryan not long ago, through nearly a hundred experiments, the newborn code-named 27 not long ago successfully survived in Aisha's body for more than a week.
If he is lucky, it may not be long before Otto can see the birth of the first half-eldar, and it may bring a new race to this galaxy.
Thinking of this, Otto couldn't help but smile, and then said to William in front of him in a joking tone.
"You did a great job. Perhaps the Regent of the Empire will need this technology very much."
What Otto didn't expect was that his casual remark made William deeply engrave this sentence in his mind.
"I will continue to work hard"
