“It’s been a transformation and a struggle.”
Just as the man was struggling, a steady voice sounded from above his head.
"hold onto."
Only then did he notice that there was a pair of iron boots in front of him, and a hand covered with armor was gently placed on his shoulder.
"can you hear me?"
The man shook his head vigorously a few times to drive away the ringing in his ears, and then found himself in a pure white hall, surrounded by life-support capsules.
Around him, the machine slaves were busy pulling muscular warriors into the world one by one.
He looked down at his arms again. They were huge and covered with well-developed muscles.
These were not his hands, and when he realized they were different, he finally remembered who he was.
"I...am...Astartes?"
"Yes, now you are a glorious Angel of Death."
The voice sounded, and the man Titan blinked and saw a stalwart warrior wearing gorgeous silver-gray power armor bending down to look at him.
"do you remember me?"
The man was stunned for a few seconds, and then his eyes widened——
"Fight...chapter leader!"
"It seems you have a pretty good memory."
Soshyan's marble face relaxed with relief.
"You are no longer a conscript!"
As he spoke, Soshyan stretched out an armored hand to him.
"Get up, recruit."
The recruit grabbed Soshyan's hand and stood up. He felt stronger and larger.
When he stood up, he could even look straight into Soshiyan's eyepiece, and raised his hands in surprise.
"I--"
"You slumbered for a year to transform. After you fell into slumber, you were implanted with the sacred gene-seed. And you survived, passed the final test, and were blessed by the crystallization of the Emperor's knowledge. You have An Astartes now."
The recruit turned his head and saw others emerging from their own life-support pods, also covered in jelly and leaving puddles of sticky liquid on the ground.
There are also some familiar faces among them. This time, there are many more people who have successfully entered the transformation stage than in the first batch. Because Soshyan thought about the increase in gene seeds, he also relaxed the selection ratio.
"Chapter Commander, am I really an angel already?"
"Almost yes. There are still many years of training waiting in front of you. If you can survive these, then you will be implanted with a black carapace. This last gift is the organ that truly defines us - it is used for Connects to the power armor's interface, without which our armor would be useless."
At this time, Valer came towards Soshyan, so he said goodbye to the new recruits and met the pharmacist.
"Captain Soshyan, there are forty-five new recruits who have been successfully transformed. This is their data."
Taking the data board handed over by the other party, Soshiyang looked at it carefully for a while. There were 150 people who passed the second round of screening, so the transformation success rate was close to 30%, which was very good data.
Although Valier was a heretic in the past, we have to admit that this guy is really talented. He is worthy of being the person who single-handedly supported the Star Claw's military expansion plan back then. He especially has amazing skills and proficiency in transformation surgery.
Moreover, his grasp of some key details is also very unique, so he not only used his superb skills to double the success rate of the Star Knight's transformation, but also made other pharmacists make great progress.
Soshyan can foresee that with the help of those golden age auxiliary medicines, the Star Knights will soon usher in a wave of personnel explosion in the future.
It is possible to transform a company of new recruits at one time!
"You did a good job, I will reward you——"
Before he finished speaking, the alarm suddenly sounded, and then the lid of a life-saving cabin suddenly flew out and slid far along the ground.
The recruit inside rushed out, his skin was wrapped with many wires, his face was covered with gray veins, and he roared and threw himself at a machine slave who was serving his awakening with both hands, using inhuman strength to kill the half-slave. The robot's neck is broken.
Valere raised his bolter with an indifferent expression and fired a shot. The loud noise produced when the bullet exploded made the new soldiers frown.
The next second, the headless corpse that lost its mind fell to the ground.
"Sorry, Chapter Leader, the number is 44 now."
Soshyan did not blame him, because he knew that even the last step might get out of control, and the gene seeds were not so easy to control.
So he turned to the recruits who were still shocked and said loudly:
"Although we have reached the final step, this process does not always work. What you have just seen is a beautiful but brutal new world. It is not the last time you will face death. Come on, it is time for you to eat. In the past For a year you have been kept alive by complex medications, but what your bodies need to fully awaken is real food."
By the time he finished speaking, the dead recruit had been covered with a white cloth. Then the servitor dragged the body away, and the recruits were taken out of the lobby one by one.
Only Valier and Soshyan could hear the next words.
"The one who died just now was implanted with gray marrow. If we remove him, there will only be five new gray marrow recruits left."
Valere said and sighed.
"This substance is still too mysterious for me. I can barely capture some of its patterns, but the success rate of transplantation is still astonishingly low. A total of fifty recruits were implanted with gray marrow, and only five were left in the end. If you can give me more time and equipment——"
"The equipment will be there, but the time -"
Soshyan shook his head.
"We don't have much time. We should speed up the progress of gray marrow transplantation and double the number of transplant recipients in the next batch!"
"But there are too few suitable sources of troops, and the potential of Nessen 4 has been almost hollowed out."
"I will find a way to recruit soldiers from other worlds. You just need to be responsible for the job at hand. This time I brought back a lot of golden age medical technology from Armageddon. Take a look, these will be used in the transformation of new recruits in the future. .”
With that said, Soshyan handed him a small data pad.
"Oh? This is good stuff."
Valier rubbed his hands and took the data pad excitedly.
"It seems like you have gained a lot this time."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After dealing with the transformation of the new recruits, Soshyan came to the barracks of the 10th Company. Here he could see many tactics wearing power armor walking out carrying huge packages.
One day ago, the first batch of recruits completed the promotion ceremony. They received their own power armor and bolt guns. They are no longer recruits, so they will also go to the barracks of their respective companies - most of them will go to the fourth camp. The company, because Lothar's side is still empty at present, and he does not even have ten people under a fleet master, so Soshyan gave priority to assigning new recruits to him.
However, considering that Armin will be under great pressure to lead troops in the future, Soshyan also gave him a few places so that he can keep a few people to help him manage a larger number of new recruits.
Armin's choice is to stay with the Bahram team, including Haoma, Robin, Zod, and Oscar.
These five people will be the captains of the new recruit company in the future.
When he arrived at the recruit company, Soshyan found Armin, told him about the handover of recruits later, and asked him to put the five recruits who had successfully transformed their gray marrow into a small team.
After spending a whole day dealing with these trivial matters, Soshyan finally had time to see what the forbidden technology was that made Dietrian deeply uneasy.
