Chapter 298 Four Thousand Gray Knights Future Legion Ban?
Chapter 298 Four Thousand Gray Knights Future Legion Banned?
"We... assist those children?"
After hearing Alexia's words, Athena's expression showed a little surprise.
Athena knew that the "Gray Knight" in the simulated town was indeed far stronger than the more than 600 Greek minor gods under her command, but no matter how you looked at it, the "Gray Knight" was just a group of children.
"That's right."
While browsing the various data on the holographic screen, Alexia said to Athena:
"This is what the boss means. Besides, the number of your adjudicators is too small. You can handle small-scale supernatural events. If you encounter the Mombasa incident in Universe 08 again, you will be unable to cope with it.
The Gray Knights are all Astartes implanted with the boss's gene-seed. Although there is only one boy in every 400,000 who can adapt to the boss's gene-seed, they still meet the conditions for mass "production". "
At this point, Alexia raised her hand and waved the holographic screen away.
Then she slowly left the center console, walked to the left side of Athena, looked through the observation window at the simulated town where the battle had ended, and said:
"You have less than a thousand Greek minor gods under your command, but your current experience is much stronger than that group of newly grown children.
So the boss also hopes that you and the Greek minor gods will serve as the instructors of the Gray Knights. In other words, serve as their mentors.
In this way, you can maximize the value of your Paranormal Activity Control Department. "
The "Grey Knights" that Alexia and Athena refer to are also members of the Astartes.
But there are certain differences from Astartes such as the Dark Angels and Ultramarines.
The first is the gene seed.
As Alexia said, the young adapters of the Gray Knights were implanted with Sui Yang's gene seeds.
Therefore, the Gray Knight's physique, strength, and reflexes are much stronger than ordinary Astartes.
When previous researchers reported, they mentioned the Gray Knight named "Drake", whose basic statistics were six times that of an ordinary Astartes.
In addition, the relationship between the Gray Knights and ordinary Astartes is not "cousin", but "uncle and nephew".
After all, the Gray Knight's gene-seed comes from Sui Yang.
In fact, Sui Yang's original intention to establish the Gray Knights was also inspired by "Warhammer 40k".
In "Warhammer 40k", there is no clear indication of the source of the Gray Knight's gene seed. It is only known that it is a "gift" given to mankind by the Emperor of Mankind.
Therefore, there are different opinions on the source of the Gray Knight's gene seed.
Since there was a Thousand Sons loyalist among the Gray Knights' first Grand Master, they believed that the Gray Knights' gene-seed might be an improved version of the Thousand Sons.
However, the famous Warmaster Abaddon, who was "victorious in every battle" and "unbeatable", said that the Gray Knights did not have any familiar aura.
There is also speculation that the Gray Knights' gene-seed comes from the Emperor himself.
But one thing is certain, the Chaos of the Warp has never corrupted a single Gray Knight.
As we all know, psykers with excellent psychic talents are extremely easy to be watched by Chaos, so they are also prone to listen to the whispers that confuse their minds. If they waver, they will fall into the abyss of Chaos.
However, while the Gray Knights possess extremely powerful psychic abilities, they are "immune" to the Whispers of Chaos and corruption.
It might be because of the gene seeds, or it might be that they received extremely rigorous and extremely confidential training.
But the Gray Knights of Atlas are real emperors.
Really real gene seeds.
In the early days of Sui Yang's gene seed project, Alexia, who was in charge of the project, used Sui Yang clones that could not be formed to conduct continuous experiments and analysis.
The seeds that were first cultivated and used were clones from Sui Yang.
The first batch of Thunder Warriors produced are the best example.
After Alexia and the core team of the Scientific Research Department obtained enough data through the Thunder Warriors, they began to officially cultivate gene seeds derived from Primarchs such as Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Leon.
At this stage, aside from the Ultramarines that were first established,
Blood Angels,
dark angel,
Luna Wolf,
Son of a Thousand Sores,
human fist,
In addition to the seven student groups of the Flame Lizard, a student group headed by Fulgrim, Angron, Riemann, Mortarion and Corax was also formally established.
They are:
son of man,
war hound,
space wolf,
dawn raider,
Raven Guard.
Moreover, the seven student groups that were first established can no longer be called "student groups" anymore.
Because the first batch of students were all adults, they also underwent twenty special transformation surgeries.
Among them are "implantation of a spare heart", "implantation of a third lung", "carbon fiberization of bones", "further strengthening of the sensory system", and "compilation of genetic information on the 24th pair of chromosomes", etc.
(Part 23 of the previous chapter was written incorrectly and has been revised)
After twenty special transformation surgeries, the first batch of students became Astartes in the true sense.
Leaving aside the "abnormal" height of the Flame Lizard, the average height of an adult Astartes without titanium power armor is two meters and a half.
After wearing titanium type power armor, he is about 2.6 or 7 meters tall.
The net height of the flame lizard is about 2.7 or 8 meters, and some of the extremely strong ones can even reach more than three meters.
On the other hand, the Grey Knights who adopted the Suiyang gene seed had a net height of "only" 2.7 meters because Alexia and the core team of the Biology Department deliberately adjusted their psychic talents.
This is why the Drake Knight's height exceeded 3 meters after wearing the heavy armored Holy Shield Terminator.
Of course, even if the Grey Knights do not use psychic power, they can still completely defeat ordinary Astartes in one-on-one or one-on-many situations.
At present, the size of the seven cadet groups has been expanded to varying degrees, and the recruitment authority has been completely delegated from the original Atlas to each Primarch.
For example, the second batch of gene seed implanted adapters of Dorn's Human Fist were selected from the local area of Terila.
And the total number of the second batch is ten times that of the first batch, about 10,000.
Guilliman's Ultramarines were even more exaggerated, with a total of 40,000 people in the second batch.
There was no other way. As the first Primarch Governor to rule a universe, Guilliman's Edge of Tomorrow had sufficient manpower and was the first to achieve self-sufficiency.
Except for the Ultramarines, only Horus's Luna Wolves had a total of more than 20,000 in the second batch.
Although the Zombie World War universe, where Horus served as Governor, was riddled with holes, the situation was quickly stabilized after the fake vaccine was available.
Hundreds of millions of zombies were deliberately controlled in a small area, and new recruits were responsible for gradually eliminating them to accumulate practical experience.
In comparison, the Thousand Sons had the smallest number of people in the second batch, with only more than a thousand.
The human population in the Pacific Rim universe has dropped sharply. Even after several years of reconstruction and repair, it is still a long way from recovering to its peak population.
What's more, Magnus pays more attention to the psychic potential of the adaptors and whether their will is firm.
This makes it difficult for the Thousand Sons to expand rapidly.
But no matter what, the seven cadet groups, or the prototype of the legion, with the supply provided by the multiverse, make the total number of young Astartes exceed 100,000.
After two to three years, the young Astartes will also complete the transformation surgery and become a real legion member.
On the other hand, the total size of the five cadet groups, the Sons of Man, War Hounds, Space Wolves, Dawn Raiders, and Raven Guard, which have just been established and recruited the first batch of adaptors, is only more than 5,000.
In addition, the more Astartes, the better, but when Atlas officially establishes the Human Empire next year, it will no longer continue to provide weapons and equipment for each legion for free.
From small bolt guns, plasma cannons and titanium tank power armor to large ships, all of these are borne by the original body of each legion.
However, Atlas will give the latest equipment or certain military subsidies according to the merits of each legion.
Of course, in the economic and political fields, each legion and each universe behind it will still be directly controlled by the current Atlas and the future Human Empire.
Because the Primarchs are direct descendants of the Atlas owners.
And the Primarchs have no objections to these policies.
If there is, it may be in the post of Governor of the Halo universe.
After all, the human population and resource volume, even if the main universe and the universes of Edge of Tomorrow and Doom are counted, are not as good as the Halo universe.
Fortunately, the Halo universe is still continuing the unification war, and Sui Yang is personally in charge, so the post of Governor is temporarily undecided.
As for the Grey Knights.
Alexia said it was to deal with the threat of the warp, but in the final analysis, she wanted to cultivate a group of real direct Astartes for it under Sui Yang's instruction.
As early as the establishment of the first seven cadet groups, Alexia selected suitable orphans aged 14 to 16 in the main universe and various universes.
The total number of these teenagers is 4,000.
After receiving relevant special training and psychological counseling, the improved Sui Yang gene seeds were successfully implanted.
However, these 4,000 teenagers have never officially appeared in the company's internal vision, nor have they participated in any cosmic integration war.
When Atlas announced to the society of the main universe that it would establish a lunar colony, the base on the back of the moon had been completed.
And these 4,000 teenagers were transferred to the lunar base, where they received training from the retired rapid response force (ARS) and elite investigators.
During this period, Sui Yang also took time to go to the lunar base in person to teach them how to use psychic power.
When they became adults, Alexia selected Drake, who had the best overall performance, and took the lead in arranging a customized operation to make him a real "Grey Knight".
On the basis of the original 20 special operations, the Grey Knight added a "nano gland".
This gland is located in the abdominal cavity and can release, recycle and produce multifunctional nanorobots.
When the Grey Knight is injured, while other glands and the immune system will instantly stop bleeding and treat, the nanorobot will also work automatically to quickly stabilize the Grey Knight's physical condition.
If the Grey Knights are parasitic or contaminated, even the Astartes cannot resist, the nanorobots will also attack to achieve the effect of physical removal and "sterilization".
And eating normally and replenishing calories are enough to allow the "nanoglands" to produce more robots.
However, the labor cost of this operation is extremely high, because Alexia and her core team need to perform it alone.
And the "nanoglands" of each Grey Knight are also customized according to the genes of each Grey Knight.
So in terms of "cost" and "mass production", the Grey Knights are higher than the Legion.
In addition, the data of the Grey Knights will also help Alexia and others to create the future "Imperial Guard".
According to Sui Yang's expectation, the Imperial Guard will also take his personal gene seed and have a single-soldier strength second only to the Primarch.
But at this stage, Alexia's focus is to complete the transformation surgery of the remaining Grey Knights, and she has no spare time to consider the Imperial Guard issue.
At this moment.
Alexia continued to say to Athena: "In the next five months, my team and I will get all the Grey Knights ready.
By then, you and your Grey Judges will lead the group of children to familiarize themselves with their business, to help the company, humanity, and the boss."
"I know." Athena nodded in response, and asked:
"Boss Sui, he hasn't returned to the main universe yet?"
"Why?" Hearing this, Alexia glanced at the other party with her peripheral vision:
"Ask about the boss's whereabouts, is there something important that needs to be discussed in person?"
"That's not the case." Athena shook her head slightly, "It's just that after joining Atlas, I haven't been able to discuss the details of the supernatural space with the boss in person."
"He is still in the 08 (Halo) universe." Alexia retracted her gaze and turned to walk towards the center console.
Then he instructed the researchers: "Send technicians into the simulated town to collect the bodies of those D-level personnel.
Also, let Knight Drake go to the nearest equipment room, remove the Holy Shield Terminator on him, and accept detailed inspection."
"Yes, supervisor."
The researchers responded in unison and began to deal with the matters arranged by Alexia.
When she walked to the center console, she added to Athena: "Although the boss is still in the 08 universe, the space gate is about to open. It should not take long to return to the main universe."
"Okay, thank you for reminding me."
Athena nodded again, and also turned away from the observation window, walked to the center console and said:
"Can I go to the equipment room with you later? I want to talk to the knight named Derek."
"Of course."
Alexia naturally had no reason to refuse Athena's request.
Although Alexia herself did not have much affection for the so-called "God", Athena's ability to resist the corruption of the subspace was still worthy of her respect.
Moreover, Athena, the semi-secluded Hera, and a group of Greek minor gods will also be mentors of the Grey Knights.
As for Sui Yang
At this time, he, Perturabo, Queen Tinas and others, had already arrived at the frontline base of the Harvest Star using the Ark transmission device.
