At the same time that all sentry weapons were disarmed, the two entered the middle area. This space was divided into two concentric areas: an outer ring composed of an array of meditators, and a sealed outer observation chamber composed of image recorders and scanners. The interior core is made up of thick bulletproof glass screens that provide a secure viewing position for the entire laboratory, with sentinel weapons monitoring the entire room.
Li then said to the mechanical sage in a very respectful tone:
"Sage Belisarius Cawl, I hope my uninvited visit has not disturbed you."
"of course not."
When standing in front of the two people, the sage named Caul showed that he was several times taller than ordinary people.
At this time, Dalia suddenly said:
"Such an important plan is hidden in a place where the entire Mars is hostile. Is it really safe enough?"
Before Lee could explain, Kaul spoke first.
"Ma'am, I can confidently say that while there are some inherent risks here, there is no safer facility in the entire galaxy."
Daria turned to Lee.
"You come to check on me every once in a while."
"I can't say inspection, it's mainly to determine what Sage Kaul needs."
"Is this the alternative?"
At this time, Kaul interrupted the two of them.
"Lee, I welcome you to observe all proceedings as your rank and responsibility allow, but I must concentrate all my energy on doing my job right now, so if you'll excuse me..."
"Sage Caul, I want to see the Armor of Destiny."
Hearing Li's words, Kaul's visual equipment flashed, then turned around and pressed the console on the side.
Soon the observation chamber shuddered, then a floor of the inner chamber parted and a rising platform rose from the enclosure below, supported by four crackling colonnades, within which rested a stasis field generator.
In the rippling blue energy, a huge, gorgeous armor with blue as the main body and gold as the embellishment appeared.
Li took a step forward and stared at the armor, seemingly lost in some thought.
After Dalia looked at it for a while, she said softly:
"Is it time to use it now?"
Li shook his head.
"This alone is not enough."
As he spoke, he looked at Call.
"This Sage Caul has the most say."
"Relying solely on the function of the Armor of Destiny, according to the calculations of all my processors, the probability of successfully reviving the Thirteen Primarchs is less than 10%, so we need another force to awaken it safely first, and then give him clothing. With this armor, the success rate can be as high as 87%."
Daria lowered her gaze slightly.
"Psychic power."
"It seems like now is not the time, and when the time comes, we're going to be the ones moving the gears."
After Li finished speaking, he asked Caul to put away his armor.
"Is the plan for the new legion going well?"
"Everything is just waiting for the Thirteen Primarchs to wake up."
Kaul inserted the metal tentacles into the console, and then the platform they were on separated from its original position and slowly rose. At the same time, a hole opened in the ceiling of the laboratory, and the platform sent the three people and the observation room where they were. In a dark space.
"Turn on the lights."
When Caul issued a command to the servo skull, all the lighting strips came to life instantly, illuminating a crowded hive-like space.
It is in the shape of an oval as a whole, with glass covers in every direction, filled with translucent liquid, and one can see highly developed strong bodies. Although they all closed their eyes tightly, they seemed to be at the same time. Looking down at the three people.
Their physiques have surpassed all existing space warriors. They all have different colors of skin and different colors of hair, but they have the same terrifying muscles. Many red and blue pipes are connected to the interfaces on their bodies. They also wore respirators on their faces to maintain their minimal physiological functions.
Looking up, there are thousands of them densely packed.
After taking a quick glance, Li suddenly asked:
"Sage Caul, have you ever made a finished product using the genes of the Eleventh Legion?"
After a brief silence, Kaul replied:
"I've tried it, but it doesn't work, or there are some technical doubts. The gene seeds of the Eleventh Legion have inconspicuous but very mysterious differences from other legions. I can't yet figure out the reasons for these differences."
"You won't find out."
Dalia suddenly said lightly.
Call looked down at her.
"Give me that sample and let me extract some genetic material from him. This doubt can be solved. The empire will no longer need any additional plans. Primaris is enough to achieve the goal of re-rising mankind."
"Then you won't live long."
Kaul didn't say anything, but Li, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"Where is the Second Legion?"
"also not--"
"Sage Caul, I am asking you now on behalf of the throne, where is the Second Legion?"
Li's tone was very calm, but it carried an undoubted majesty, which was extremely inconsistent with his decaying appearance.
“There is a very small amount of finished product.”
"Wake them up immediately."
"You want to take them away?"
"No, it's not me, but you don't need to ask that much."
"Lee, I have to remind you that I am under orders from Robert Guilliman."
"He never ordered you to use the seeds of these two legions, right?"
After a few seconds of silence, Kaul responded with a cold voice:
"I need a standard Martian day."
"Then I'll come find you again then."
After that, Li and Dahlia left the laboratory.
After that, the two of them went non-stop to Mount Arcia, which is close to the equator. This is a huge volcano surrounded by a rare "garden residential area" on Mars. Thanks to the efforts of the biological sages and the huge bubble protection Cover, it has extraordinary natural ecology and dotted with luxurious residences. Therefore, the land price here is no different from the most expensive area of Terra. Only the most distinguished Mechanicus executives are qualified to enter here.
Li's aircraft passed through the layers of security without any hindrance, entered this space, and then landed in a mansion that nominally belonged to a certain genetic sage.
Leaving the shuttle and entering a long corridor composed of crystal and bronze, the two came to a hall.
The polarizing wall filters out severe air pollution and provides the entire mansion with an unparalleled clear view. A lonely figure stands on the viewing platform, staring at the vast wasteland in the distance.
When the footsteps of the two men sounded on the metal floor, the man turned around. Lennart Meyers, who looked dozens of years older, already wrinkled, saw Li and smiled.
"Thank you, Lee."
Li didn't say anything polite, just dropped the sentence.
"They'll wake up in a day."
Lennart looked at Daria, then nodded slightly.
"Dragon Guard, thank you for your efforts over the past ten thousand years."
"I'm just fulfilling my mission."
