Chapter 283 The Rise of the Primarchs: The Primarchs

Ravenna Springfield is a researcher in the genetic laboratory. He is very good. At a young age, he became a core department researcher under Dr. Astarte. He is directly in charge of the research and development of core genetic links. He is very talented.

However, if you are familiar with Ravenna Springfield, you will know that this talented guy is also very arrogant and arrogant, and he is the kind of guy who makes people feel bored and dissatisfied just by looking at him.

It is precisely because of this that Ravenna has very high standards. He looks down on almost everyone except Dr. Astarte. It is almost a well-known fact that he loves Dr. Astarte. Although the doctor himself has no reaction to this, it still does not affect his pursuit of the doctor.

But it is obvious that Ravenna probably doesn't know what Dr. Astarte likes, or in other words, his arrogance has prevented him from really understanding his "sweetheart". So it is not surprising that when Marshal Vito Constantine and Dr. Astarte began to officially date, no one was surprised.

But Ravenna was very annoyed and angry about this. Obviously, this guy didn't notice that he might have such a "small" gap with Marshal Vito, but this did not affect his self-confidence. He still pursued the doctor openly and secretly, competed with Vito, and even directly expressed his contempt for Vito in private.

This is really bold, isn't it? But, aren't these scholars, nobles and dignitaries who think they are superior to others so arrogant and stupid? They will only be honest after being beaten up.

Ravenna walked in the corridor of the core experimental area. Usually, few people would go deep here. All the people here are core researchers. Ah, of course, there are also those porters. You can't expect these noble scholars who are devoted to scientific research to go down and move things by themselves, right?

So in this corridor, Ravenna saw a porter. There were only two of them in this corridor, and they were walking towards each other opposite each other.

"Hey! You idiot, who do you think you are? Get out of here!" Ravenna pointed at the porter and shouted, but the latter continued to walk towards this side, as if he didn't hear Ravenna's words at all.

This made Ravenna instantly angry, "Are you deaf? Get out now, go back to move your boxes, low-class person, or I will whip you!"

The porter still walked over without saying a word, and he even showed a faint mocking smile, which made the arrogant Ravenna instantly furious. He strode towards the porter and raised his hand, "You low-class person, I want you to get out!"

Ravenna shouted and slapped the porter, but the latter raised his hand at lightning speed and grabbed Ravenna's wrist, and then before he had time to react, he suddenly locked Ravenna's arm in reverse, and the pain of the wrist joint made Ravenna scream loudly.

But before the talented researcher could continue to shout, the porter grabbed his hair and slammed his head against the wall. Ravenna's forehead hit the steel wall hard, and then he fainted instantly due to the impact.

"Ravenna Springfield? How interesting, it seems that you are my "rival in love"." Vito supported the unconscious Ravenna and lifted the name tag on her chest with one hand.

Vito smiled, then opened the small door of the power maintenance room on the side of the corridor with his backhand, pushed Ravenna in, and fell face down on the ground.

"Ha, it seems that your face will not be very good after waking up, but this is good for you, at least it can make you a little more low-key." Vito said with a smile, his eyes looked around the corridor twice and then walked into the power room, and gently closed the door.

Vito came out soon. He adjusted the collar of his white coat and smiled with satisfaction at Ravenna, who was stripped naked by him and only had underwear left. "Good luck. When you wake up, you won't be seen before you find new clothes to wear."

No, in fact, Ravenna Springfield experienced social death afterwards. He was only wearing a pair of underwear and swaggering around the laboratory, becoming a beautiful scenery in front of all researchers. Then he suddenly disappeared. Well, I heard that he applied for transfer himself. There was nothing he could do. After all, he ran naked in the laboratory once and was seen by Astarte and Erda.

But Vito didn't know it now, but when he knew it later, he did show a gloating smile.

But now, after Vito put on his white coat, he walked deep into the corridor. With Ravenna's ID card, the journey was smooth. Vito only needed to walk to the closed doors one by one, and the automatic sensor lock could recognize Ravenna's identity chip, and then open the doors for "Springfield Researcher".

Vito whistled and walked leisurely. He did not dodge or hide at all, but walked in the corridor between the laboratories.

Because Vito guessed that based on his understanding of these scientific research geeks, they usually buried themselves in various time-consuming experiments that did not require much conversation with people, so this group of introverted workaholics who were extremely lacking in social skills probably never recognized or even tried to remember how many people were in their department, let alone know them.

So yes, Vito just walked here in a swagger. Those researchers who were doing experiments and walking quickly behind the glass windows on both sides, no one recognized Vito as not from here.

Vito smiled and walked past him. The researcher who buried his head in reviewing the data panel didn't even look at Vito.

Vito stretched his body, put his hands in his pockets as if he was taking a walk, and walked to the facility map on the side. His fingers quickly slid across the map, and then stopped at a place called "Original Body Cultivation Chamber". He looked at the name of the place, and then hummed a tune and went there.

He dared to bet that his dear Astarte must be there. She had a big experiment today, and everything here revolved around the same plan, the most important experiment, the Primarch Plan.

Vito walked in the corridor of the laboratory, humming a tune from a famous movie in ancient Terra. The cheerful song called "Come and Get Your Love" was sung with his arms swinging naturally. In this way, Vito danced briskly through the boring researchers who were immersed in experiments.

Vito spun in front of an open reinforced door and danced into it. He sang the lyrics in his mouth, and his hand seemed to hold a microphone while he walked and sang to the imaginary microphone in his hand.

The cheerful tune attracted the attention of the two people in the culture room. Dr. Astarte and Ms. Erda, who was checking the data report with her, looked at the researcher who was singing and swaying.

Astarte and Erda looked at each other. Astarte was silent for a moment and then turned his head to look at the researcher. He walked to the two ladies while singing. He turned around suddenly, and his white coat fluttered. As he stood still, he raised his arms and clapped his hands suddenly, revealing a bright smile.

"You two beautiful ladies." He said with a smile.

"Are you afraid you are a fool?" Astarte stared at him with a cold face, muttering in his mouth.

"Wrong, it's a handsome guy!" Vito grabbed his face and pulled off the human skin mask suddenly. The scene that looked like a horror movie to ordinary people did not scare the two ladies at all. After all, they followed the Emperor as early as the early days of the Terra Unification War. What storms have they not seen?

"No, still a fool." Astarte said coldly, and Vito snorted and slid to her side, smiling and holding Erda's hand, and kissed her gently on the back of her hand.

"Long time no see, Erda, how have you been lately?" Vito smiled and held Erda's hand, while the latter smiled friendly and gently pulled back her hand.

"Neither good nor bad, but you, how are you and Constantine doing lately?" The ancient lady, who was an immortal like Vito, smiled. She looked at Vito who was walking by her. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the culture tanks on both sides. Those culture tanks made of a mixture of fine steel and plastic steel were extremely sturdy.

"Not very good. What to eat in the Middle East, and I lost a few tubes of blood in the rain forest of South America because of mosquitoes. I was half frozen to death in Siberia, and then I was half dead in Central Africa."

Vito said as he tapped the surface of the culture tank on one side with his fingers twice. The metal echo was very strong and powerful. Vito put his hands on his waist and looked at the glass observation window above with his head tilted.

"But I think you had a good time last night, right?" Erda glanced at Astarte on the side. The latter turned his face slightly, and the slightly red face was so cute that Erda couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it? It's much more comfortable than being blown to death by the blizzard on Mount Ararat." Vito smiled and winked at Astarte, who turned her head and waved her hand gently. This girl was shy, after all, Erda was there. In front of her biological sister, Astarte looked shy like a little girl.

But obviously, Vito was not so decent. He put his hands on his waist and showed a confident and bright smile. Erda looked at Vito and laughed, and she touched her lips with her fingers.

"You are still the same as before, Vito, that's great, only you haven't changed." Erda smiled and suddenly her expression became sad. She sighed softly, and she raised her sad eyes and looked at Vito not far away.

"Did the Thunder Warriors leave peacefully?" Erda asked softly, but the words made Astarte stunned for a moment, and then her ruddy face calmed down instantly, and then she turned her head cautiously to look at Vito who carried out the "Emperor's last order".

Vito looked at Erda, and his smile disappeared for a moment, but soon returned to his cheeks, "Well, they left peacefully, as heroes, not out-of-control beasts."

As he said that, Vito turned his head and turned his back to Erda. He did not look at Erda's face, and Erda herself sighed softly and smiled with difficulty.

"What about the test game between you and Constantine? The bloody game, right? Did you go well?" Erda raised her head and asked with a smile, and the sadness that had just briefly spread quickly disappeared, which also made Vito relieved. Since he returned to the palace area, what he feared most was that Erda would ask about the final settlement.

She created the Thunder Warriors. Although she did the work together with the Astartes, she was the one who mainly created the Thunder Warriors. Their biological mother, Vito really didn't know how to explain all that to him. , but fortunately, she didn’t continue talking.

"I'm already standing here, so I must have won." Vito swept away the gloomy mood just now and put a bright smile on his lips again.

"But it's not his fault. The guards in your laboratory are as weak as a bunch of ducks being chased away. I just sent two Assassin Court Assassin Squads to mess them up."

"The Imperial Guard unit brought by Constantine is busy cleaning up the mess for them. The defense line has been disrupted and is full of loopholes. If you ask me, all your security guards have been withdrawn. They can't protect my dear Asta. special."

Vito smiled and turned to Erda and winked, "Of course, there is you too. How could I forget you?"

"Your love words are still so interesting, Vito." Erda said with a soft smile, while Vito laughed happily. He jumped onto the ladder shelf on the side and stood on it. Next to the culture tank marked No. 16, Vito's eyes leaned toward the observation window and peered inside.

He saw the baby floating in the artificial amniotic fluid. The tiny baby was floating in the jar. The umbilical cord on the belly was floating in the light yellow amniotic fluid. At its end, it was connected by a mechanical hose, replacing the original baby. The part of the mother's umbilical cord that continuously delivers nutrients to the long-awaited baby.

"Is this the original body?" Vitor asked in surprise, while Astartes walked to the end of the shelf steps behind him, holding a data tablet in his hand.

"Yes, what's wrong? You look like you're still disappointed."

"Well, I thought they would be bigger and stronger. After all, they are the combination of that guy and Erda's genes, and they were carefully genetically programmed by you. I thought they would be bigger and more powerful."

Vito raised his eyebrows and looked at the babies floating in the amniotic fluid, "But they look no different from normal babies."

"They are still babies after all, but babies will grow up and eventually become extraordinary beings." Erda said, touching the No. 9 culture tube next to her with her fingers, speaking lovingly and gently, like a A real mother caressing her child.

"I hope they will grow up fast enough. I don't want to wait twenty years. The old guy doesn't seem to have the patience to wait that long. He is eagerly looking forward to stepping into the stars and unifying human civilization." Vito said, His eyes followed the baby who seemed to be swimming in the amniotic fluid.

"Do they have names?"

"No, not yet." Erda stroked the culture tank and said, her tone full of sadness, "The Emperor didn't give them any names, he always called them numbers, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3. , No. 18, is like calling a weapon."

"Ha, don't worry Erda, I will give them good names." Vito stood up with a smile, his hands on his hips and grinned, "Besides, that guy's naming skills are ridiculous. No matter what kind of thinker or scholar he claims to be every day, his name is very ugly."

"Twilight Raiders, Death Warriors, etc., what are these weird names? Listen to the names I gave them, Luna Wolves, Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, etc. These names are much more unpleasant. "?" Vito smiled boastfully, with his arms akimbo, turning to Dr. Astarte and raising his head proudly, laughing.

Astartes looked at him and rolled his eyes, "Then you can start thinking about their names. Today is the last test. If everything goes well, the originals will be taken out of the culture tank tomorrow. ”

"The Emperor will also come. He will go to the scene in person to witness and take away these children." Erda whispered, her eyes looking in other directions with her head, as if she didn't want Vito to see her clearly. Eye-like.

But Vito could understand that these children were Erda's flesh and blood. They were produced by her genes and were cultivated by her and the Astartes. As for the Emperor, apart from occasionally asking about the progress of the original plan, , has no concern for these children. In his eyes, he only has the great goal of unifying human civilization.

"Hey, why did Constantine mobilize the Imperial Guard? It turns out that guy is coming. From the looks of it, I have to mobilize a few Space Marine brigades to replace this useless guard."

Vito said and jumped out of the observation window. He landed next to Astarte and stood up, patted his white coat, stretched out his hand and hugged Astarte's waist very naturally, and hugged him into his arms. inside.

He looked at the cultivation tube beside him and laughed, "Don't worry, kids, your Uncle Vito and Second Mother Astarte will take good care of you."

"Second mother?" Astarte asked in surprise while leaning on Vito's chest, while the latter rubbed his nose and smiled.

"Yes, Erda is their biological mother, and you are the other mother who raised them, aren't you the second mother?"

"Hey, should you call me second uncle?"

"Hey, don't say it, that's not a bad title, Uncle Vito."

Erda looked at the young couple on the side and smiled. She removed her finger from the culture tank and turned around, "I won't be a light bulb and disturb you."

"Xiao A, remember to bring the experimental data to the database. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Erda left, and Vito looked at her back in silence.

Astarte looked at the data board in her hand anxiously. Her eyes were obviously wrong. Vito looked at Astarte in his arms in surprise. Whenever she was uneasy, she would lean her face inward against him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Vito, don't worry about me." Astarte said, holding the data board on her chest, burying her face in Vito's chest.

"I can see when you are angry and happy, and I can also see when you are afraid and uneasy, and now is it." Vito said, holding Astarte's waist with one hand, and gently raised the other hand to stroke Astarte's hair.

"What's wrong?"

Astarte was silent for a moment, then moved her face from Vito's chest, and handed the data panel in her hand to Vito, who took the panel and looked at the information on it. To be honest, Vito couldn't understand most of it.

"Well, I...seem, maybe, I'm not that good at technical work." Vito said with a wry smile, and Astarte motioned him to put the panel down a little. After all, Vito was almost 1.9 meters tall, while Astarte was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, so Vito considerately put the panel where Astarte could reach it.

Astarte pointed to a line of data on it, which was a string of numbers in the center, showing 60%

"This is the final monitoring data when we successfully merged the warp power given to us by the Emperor with the Emperor's genetic experiment to create the Thunder Warrior. This string of numbers represents the perception and probability of the Thunder Warrior and the warp being affected."

"So high?" Vito exclaimed, he was quite surprised when he saw the number, "Why didn't I know about this?"

"The Emperor asked us to keep it secret. He believed that the danger was still controllable, and the Terra Unification War urgently needed Thunder Warriors, so this risk could be tolerated, but"

"The Thunder Warriors showed excessive bloodlust, killing and uncontrollability. In the end, the Emperor gave you an order at Mount Ararat."

Astarte didn't finish her words, but Vito already knew what she meant. It's no wonder that the Thunder Warriors are so unstable and often out of control. Now Vito knows the reason.

And just when Vito was silent, Astarte slid the plane, and the data panel switched to the next page.

"And this is the data of the Primarchs." Astarte buried his head in Vito's chest, and the latter's pupils dilated slightly when he looked at the data.

"40%" he said softly, Astarte leaned on Vito and stretched out his hand, his fingers tightly grasping Vito's clothes.

"Ilda and I thought that using her and the Emperor's genes as the master version could combine and suppress the interference rate of the warp, but the result was not at all what we expected."

"Vito, Ilda and I are worried that the Emperor will... Even if he won't do that for the time being, he needs the Primarchs and the Space Marines who carry the Primarch's genes to fight in the galaxy, but Ilda is worried that he will be like the Thunder Warriors, in the end."

Vito looked at the data board in his hand, one of his hands holding Astarte's head, he looked at the number, 40% of the warp influence rate.

40%
