Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 165: Ordinary Gene Seed

In the sunlight, the Institute of Biological Genetic Engineering sparkles with a metallic luster, and the building is surrounded by countless gears and pipelines.

The emblem of the Mechanicus is embedded in the center of the gate.

It is a combination of skull and machinery, with gears, pistons and cables intertwined together, looking sacred and solemn.

As Ron approached, a red light lit up in the center of the skull's eye sockets.

The access control device instantly detected the identity of the visitor, and a pious and respectful electronic voice came out:
"Savior, welcome to our presence~"

A few hours ago, the "Holy Code of Redemption" that Ron had been compiling for several years was officially promulgated.

Yes, he got his inspiration from Guilliman.

The scriptures cover the unity of faith, religious rituals, administrative systems, military obligations, laws and punishments, technology and innovation.

Provide specific theoretical guidance for the spread of faith and territorial rule, as well as norms and constraints on thoughts and behaviors.

The "Book of Redemption" clearly states that Roan, as the only savior designated by the God-Emperor, occupies an unshakable core position in the faith.

This is not only the sacred promise of the Savior to his people, but also the holy scripture that all his people follow.

The holy book is of supreme sacredness and will become the cornerstone of territory rule.

Of course, this is just a trial version.

In the future, it will continue to be improved based on actual conditions.

One of the rules in the holy code stipulates that everyone within the territory must call Ron Grant the savior.

The electronic sound fell, the gears turned, and the mechanical door slowly opened.

"Lord Savior!"

At this time, Moss hurried to the door from the research institute.

Ron asked gently:

"How's it going? Did the experiment succeed?"

Moss was a little excited and quite pleased with himself:

"We have extracted the key gene nodes and can proceed to the next step of research and experiment..."

He has just led a scientific research team to conduct an important study on gene sequences.

This research will determine whether genetic seeds can add more stable characteristics and undergo continuous optimization and improvement in the future.

"Very good, keep it up, and show me the gene seeds."

The purpose of Ron's trip was to take a look at those precious gene seeds.

All the relevant work for the formation of the regiment has been prepared, and we cannot let down at the critical points.

He followed Moss through the long corridor and walked towards the gene bank deep in the research institute.

On both sides of the passage are sealed laboratories, with genetic maps and biological structure diagrams covering the walls.

Genetic engineers are carefully conducting experiments.

In one of the laboratories, clone dissection was being performed, and there was blood everywhere.

There are now dozens of laboratories in the entire Institute of Biogenetic Engineering.

Under the modern scientific research system, the huge biological genetic engineering technology is divided into different modules for experimental research.

This is a great test of the institute director's ability to control and coordinate the direction of the project.

Fortunately, Moss is an intelligent robot from the golden age.

These are no problem at all for him.

Currently, the institute is carrying out relevant technical projects on genetic seed optimization, transformation and cultivation.

At the same time, relevant technologies for gene stability are studied on a small scale to prevent possible degeneration and mutation of genetic seeds in the future.

All in all, the project went smoothly.

The gene bank is responsible for cultivating and preserving genetic seeds and is the heart of the Institute of Biological Genetic Engineering.

It consists of a series of cultivation rooms and storage rooms.

Each cabin is designed as an independent unit that can withstand changes in the external environment.

The temperature, humidity and light in the room are strictly controlled to ensure the optimal preservation of genetic seeds.

Transparent tubes are winding on the ceiling and walls, and golden energy is flowing slowly inside them.

Moss came to a cabin, looked at the monitoring panel on the cabin door, and introduced:
"This is the gene seed cultivation room. Each cultivation room can cultivate about two gene seeds."

Ron glanced at the densely packed cultivation rooms around him and nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, let's go in and take a look..."

Several years ago, Ron found a batch of gene seeds in his family's secret laboratory.

About fifty pieces.

Most of them have varying degrees of degeneration and mutation.

This is also the norm for Imperial gene-seed.

Those seeds were secretly accumulated by the Grant family through various channels over thousands of years.

With those gene seeds, the Grant family secretly conducted a large number of cruel live experiments spanning several generations.

Eventually the Guards were created.

Unfortunately, they are far from true Space Marines.

After Ron obtained these gene seeds, he immediately handed them over to the Biological Gene Research Institute of the Biological Sage Moss.

Those fifty gene-seeds were supplemented with tissue extracted from fragments of Space Marine armor recovered from the depths of the Warp.

After careful reverse bioengineering, a large number of effective gene sequences and genetic materials were successfully restored. Moss used those gene sequences and genetic materials to cultivate 100 initial gene seeds.

However, due to technical reasons, these initial gene seeds can only retain a very small part of the genes of the original body.

The genetic sequences of the Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Ultramarines contained therein are almost negligible, and cannot even show any characteristics.

These almost blank initial gene seeds cannot yet be implanted into the warriors' bodies.

How to further cultivate the initial gene seeds has become a problem.

Ultimately, Moss chose the Mechanicus' gene-seed cultivation method.

That is to use clones for breeding.

He chose a strong individual as the mother clone.

The initial gene seed is implanted into it to absorb its genetic characteristics.

The implantation and cultivation process went smoothly.

The original gene-seed successfully survived and continued to absorb the genetic material of the mother.

Ron followed Moss into the cultivation room, and he immediately saw the three-meter-high glass culture dish in the center.

A clone about 2.2 meters tall was soaking in the nutrient solution of the culture dish.

The golden energy pipeline is connected to the clone, continuously inputting the energy of the little sun into the clone.

These energies, which have life and purification properties, are the key to the survival of the original gene seeds.

Ron has discovered that the energy of the little sun is simply a panacea, and a little bit of it can be added to anything.

It acts as a stabilizer and catalyst.

Ron looked at the clone soaking in the nutrient solution and was immediately struck by his handsomeness.

Because the clone's face looks exactly like him.

That's the Space Marine version of "Ron".

Moss chose Ron as the mother to create 100 clones in order to cultivate those initial gene seeds.

It can be said that he is quite skilled.

After all, there are dozens of versions of "Ron" clones in his cloning laboratory.

Under the catalysis of the energy of the small sun, the initial gene seed developed rapidly in the gene seed glands in Ron's clone.

Normally, the gene-seed is stored within the Space Marine's gene-seed glands, which absorb genetic material.

There are two seeds in total.

The first one takes five years to mature, and the second one takes ten years to mature.

That is to say, a Space Marine can produce a maximum of two gene seeds.

And inside the body of the Space Marine version of "Roon" clone in the laboratory.

The first seed matures in three years, and the second seed matures in six years.

This greatly speeds up the cultivation of genetic seeds and can produce more genetic seeds.

Of course, this is only the case when it is cultivated in the laboratory at all costs.

Even if those gene seeds are implanted normally into the warrior's body, it will still take five to ten years to mature.

Ron followed Moss into the storage room and listened to his report on the gene seed harvest:
"Savior, the first batch of 100 mature gene seeds have been picked and stored.

It is expected that the second batch of seeds will be harvested in three years..."

In the living flesh ball chamber of the storage room, one genetic seed after another is stored.

Those living flesh balls can keep the gene seeds active very well and can be implanted into the warriors' bodies through transformation surgery at any time.

These gene seeds are mainly composed of Ron's gene sequence, and the gene sequences of other original bodies are negligible.

It can be said that he is the original body of these gene seeds.

Unfortunately, after absorbing his gene sequence, those gene seeds had almost no outstanding characteristics, but there were no obvious defects either.

The main focus is safety, stability and nothing special.

But in Ron's opinion, this is an advantage.

After all, although the warriors created by the genes of other primarchs are powerful, they also have many shortcomings.

For example, the Blood Angels have a thirst for bloodshed and destruction, and will even drink blood and eat corpses, and launch crazy raids;
Ultramarines are mentally aggressive, have an inclination towards teamwork and class division, and are morbidly obsessed with completing assigned tasks;

As for the Dark Angel, it is relatively stable, and its only shortcoming is its foul mouth.

Ron's gene seed is safer and more stable than the Dark Angel.

There is almost no rejection reaction during the transformation process, and it will not affect the soldier's character.

Able to preserve the diversity of their characters.

The disadvantage is that it may be weaker than ordinary Space Marines.

For Luo, he needs relatively mediocre but safe and stable warriors, rather than those strong men who may go crazy at any time.

Anyway, if the quality is not enough, we can make up for it with quantity.

Now that we have a method to stably and quickly produce gene seeds.

As long as he is given time, he can raise a large team of space warriors.

Human wave tactics attack!

Looking at the gene seeds, Ron ordered:

"Moss, start the gene seed implantation operation..."
