"Good afternoon, Your Highness, the eldest son."
A group of pharmacists wearing yellow ceramic armor lined up outside the laboratory door. More than 300 recruits who needed surgery rested in batches in the waiting room at the back.
"Good afternoon, Tyro Wilbur, I am about to send someone to find you. The organ modification surgery of the Imperial Fist Legion soldiers is about to begin."
Alexander asked the servitor to open the door of the laboratory and guide the pharmacists in, while the servo skull scanned their information above.
For this large-scale operation, Alexander deployed a total of 10 operating tables, and a total of ten technical servitors were assigned to each operating table.
In order to save time, Alexander will perform the Space Marine organ modification surgery simultaneously with nine other Custodes brothers.
Castia 02 plans to assign three companies to Alexander, namely Astartes warriors from the Imperial Fists Legion, the Fourteenth Legion, and the Fourth Iron Warriors Legion.
"Your Highness, the recruits are ready and can start at any time."
The great pharmacist Tyro Wilbur directed the recruits to lie down on the operating table one by one, while the other pharmacists with red scanners recorded the information of the entire operation as required.
The recruits of the Imperial Fist are selected differently from other legion warriors. They adopt a voluntary principle, which is the slogan shouted by Roggedian Dorn.
"I want free men, not slaves."
This is essentially different from a certain unstable war group in later generations that arbitrarily collects blood taxes on planets.
When early Imperial Fists recruits are selected, they will have their criminal records reviewed and undergo a series of tests.
Such as physical tests, psychological profiles, psychic ratings, vision tests, intelligence tests, shooting ability, pain resistance, and agility tests.
Recruits who pass the above tests will undergo life training in the base and will participate in a new recruit ceremony called the Terror Tunnel six months later.
In the tunnel, they will face a series of harsh and cruel challenges such as high temperature, severe cold, and nothingness. As the tunnel continues to deepen, the difficulty of the challenge continues to increase.
If these newcomers can finally pass through the tunnel, then they will officially become an Astartes apprentice, and have the Imperial Fists symbol stamped on their hips, and begin to receive the teachings and training of true Space Marines, and to the point of Alexander, Perform space marine transformation surgery.
The laser scalpel can cut through the soldier's flesh with a single stroke, and the genetic testing nerve is safely implanted into the spinal cord between the thoracic and cervical vertebrae.
Astartes warriors rarely undergo two surgeries at the same time, so after Alexander completes one surgery, the servitor will hand over the comatose warrior to the pharmacist, who will detect the mutation and stability of the organ.
The surgical procedures of Space Marines are different. Some require multiple lung transplants, while others require Lyman's ear surgery and pebble kidney surgery.
Ten operating tables were operated at the same time, and it still took Alexander two days and two nights to complete the operation with three hundred recruits.
During this period, when some Forbidden troops had surgical problems, Alexander would add a few more games to remedy the situation.
In the early days of the Great Crusade, the gene-seed from Terra was very stable, so there would not be too many deaths during the Astartes transformation surgery. Even during the gene-seed adaptation period, it was more than a few notches better than in the Chapter era.
Dozens of pharmacists were walking around in the large lounge, monitoring the physical data and mutations of the recruits one by one. Alexander was finally able to return to his own lounge to prepare for the next stage of work.
If this situation continues, just one round of surgery for the three companies will take a week.
When the organ reconstruction surgery that has been completed is stable, the next surgery must be carried out immediately.
It would take Alexander a lot of time to completely complete the organ modification surgery of the Space Marines. No wonder Castia 02 doesn't even have access to the laboratory.
However, this was also in line with Alexander's plan. Originally, he wanted to master the 19 complete organ modification surgeries of Space Marines in order to accumulate experience for subsequent surgeries on Primaris warriors.
"Your Highness, Chief Pharmacist Tyro Wilbur would like to see you."
The Captain of the Just Guard knocked on the door, but did not enter the lounge directly. He opened the door after hearing the sound of permission coming from behind the door.
"Thank you for everything you have done for the Imperial Fists, Your Highness."
Tyro Wilbur was rarely wearing his helmet consisting of three scanning devices. The face exposed under the visor was not serious, but rather looked like a bachelor.
"Excuse me. What you do for your own brothers is nothing."
Alexander pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned for him to sit down and chat, but his eyes did not leave the two gene seeds placed on the table.
According to the testing data provided by the Martian Mechanicus, basically all known Space Marine legions have mutated, but it is just a matter of more or less.
If the Emperor does not provide the information in the private laboratory, there is no telling when Alexander will be able to solve the problem alone, or it may not be possible at all.
"Your Highness, have you also noticed that the gene seeds of the Imperial Fists and other legions have mutated?"
Tyro Wilbur noticed some excitement about the gene seeds on the table. He thought that Alexander was currently busy with a tedious study plan and would not be aware of these problems.
"It's obvious, isn't it?"
Alexander beckoned to a servo-skull, its red eyeball projecting the double-bolted helix of the Space Marine's genetic heritage.
These genetic materials can clearly reflect that the integrity of the gene seed is 93% and the degree of mutation is 2%.
The gene seeds of the first batch of start-up legions are relatively superior in terms of their completeness and degree of mutation.
However, Alexander discovered that during this subspace travel, the mutation level of the gene seeds taken out of the mature glands was increasing, and the integrity was also slightly reduced.
These data do not come from one or two gene seeds, but from the gene seed bank on the Phalanx. It is a subtle result obtained by Alexander specifically asking Castia 02 to conduct statistics.
Although there are good and bad mutations, it would be very intriguing if the factors that affect it come from the subspace.
The Thousand Sons Legion is famous for its use of psychic powers. The more they use psychic powers, the more serious the problem of flesh and blood mutation becomes.
Magnus, that idiot, has read too many psychic books. He only wants to rely on the unknown energy he found through his own cleverness, and has never thought about the source of those psychic powers.
He even refused to communicate with other brothers and refused to use the technology of the material universe to solve problems. Naturally, he was deceived by the evil god Tzeentch.
"Magnus' Folly"
It was because this guy was looking around in the subspace that he was successfully used by Tzeentch.
When Magnus saw Warmaster Horus being bewitched by the Chaos God, he actually sent a psychic communication bomb directly to Terra in order to pass through the subspace storm and send a message, and it was also strengthened by the four gods. Communication bomb.
Only with the information of the Primarch can this psychic bomb break through the layers of screening and blockade and successfully reach the Palace of Terra.
This directly led to the Emperor being forced to sit on the Golden Throne and seal the warp rift through which the Chaos God could reach his home planet of Terra.
