Chapter 888: Primaris Space Marines
Primaris Space Marine technology?
Gu Hang frowned and studied it, and soon felt shocked.
It is indeed a good product.
To put it simply, the so-called "Primaris" is an evolutionary modification technology for the most common Space Marine gene seeds today.
The modified gene seeds will transform into the 'Primaris Seed'.
This is not a reinforcement, but a change.
New recruits implanted with the Primaris gene-seed will not only become taller, stronger and more agile, but will also grow three new superhuman organs within the Space Marine's body.
These three superhuman organs are the Steel Wire Tendon, the Hymn Pituitary, and the Kaul's Furnace.
The first two will directly enhance the physical strength of the Space Marines. The Steel Tendon is just as its name suggests, this part of the organ is like steel, which greatly enhances the physical strength of the Space Marines; the Anthem pituitary gland secretes special hormones, which can not only enable the Space Marines to better and more sensitively control their bodies, but also resist psychic energy and the erosion of the subspace.
The last one, the Cawl's Furnace, is a life-saving artifact. It is located in the chest of the Space Marine, near the heart, and is usually dormant. Only when the Space Marine is seriously injured will it be activated, pulsating rapidly, replacing the function of the heart, and quickly secreting a large amount of hormones.
These hormones can play at least two roles:
The first is to allow seriously injured and dying Space Marines to instantly and briefly recover to their peak state as if they had been given a shot of cardiac stimulant or revival injection, so that they can continue to fight for a while.
The second is to allow the severely injured body and internal organs to be repaired immediately. After the effect of the chicken blood fades, at least a life can be saved.
This means that with the help of the Furnace of Caul, unless a Space Marine suffers an injury that is fatal in an instant, such as having his head chopped off or his entire body shattered, all other normal injuries will be transformed into non-fatal injuries under the effect of the Furnace of Caul, thereby greatly enhancing the Space Marine's sustainable combat effectiveness and survival rate.
With these three superhuman organs, it may be a bit exaggerated that the Primaris Space Marines have an absolute advantage over the original ones. After all, even the Primaris Space Marines may not be able to crush the original ones, especially when they meet the masters in the original ones.
But under the same conditions, a 28-to-5 winning rate is probably not a problem.
From a utilitarian point of view, there is no reason for Gu Hang not to promote the full Primarisization of Space Marines.
The added cost is not high. The success rate of the Primaris gene-seed during implantation surgery will not be much different from that of the old version. The only troublesome thing is that in order to transform the mature Space Marines into Primaris, they must undergo transformation surgery.
The transformation operation is quite risky, as it requires taking out the gene seeds from the Space Marines, quickly completing the Primaris transformation operation, and then putting them back.
This process itself is prone to accidents. The gene seed is the most core and life-threatening thing for a Space Marine. It is fraught with danger to take it out - even in an operating room environment.
But ultimately this risk is controllable.
What is even more uncontrollable is that after the modified gene seeds are re-implanted, the Primaris seeds will begin to undergo drastic body modifications according to the genetic information loaded into them, in order to help the old version of the Space Marines grow new versions of superhuman organs in their bodies and comprehensively strengthen their bodies and wills.
This process is much more dangerous than surgery.
The gene seed transforms the body of a mature Space Marine. I am afraid that many people cannot withstand such a transformation and will die in the process.
According to the technical data extracted by Gu Hang, the mortality rate may be over 50%.
This is a number that Gu Hang can hardly accept.
Let all the Space Marines in the Alliance undergo surgery together, and then bear the casualties of more than half, just for the sake of evolution?
If Gu Hang made such a decision, it would be too exaggerated.
Unless it is done by a very small number of people, and the medical department has evaluated that the probability of success is relatively high, and even Gu Hang has time to provide intensive care, otherwise large-scale reconstruction surgery is definitely not possible.
Even if all new gene seeds were transformed into the Primaris version, which was theoretically feasible, Gu Hang still had doubts.
That way there would be no worries about success rate, extra casualties, etc. However, the matter of the Primaris Space Marines itself was enough to cause an uproar.
Space Marines, how did they come about?
Whatever the truth is, the propaganda for thousands of years has been that the Space Marines are super warriors created by the Emperor using the genes of his offspring. They are called the Emperor's Angels of Death.
This matter has very strong political and religious implications.
What is Gu Hang's identity? No matter how powerful his authority is, he suddenly announced that he had a new technology that could change the genes of angels. Would the Space Marines agree to this? Would the state religion agree to this?
The first suspicion is whether this technology is some kind of chaos corruption?
Going a step further, Gu Hang, the person who came up with this technology, might be suspected.
This is when things will shake the rule.
Can Gu Hang's authority alone bring about the emergence of the Primaris Space Marines?
Gu Hang was a little unsure.
However, he has always been quite courageous.
It's a bit difficult to directly launch the Primaris Space Marines. However, there are some Chapter quotas that can be used to create a brand new Chapter, the kind that he controls from top to bottom, so maybe he can give it a try.
When using it, you should also keep it a little secret and increase the confidentiality level.
Even, they could handle it like the Grey Knights: top secret operations, no cooperation with friendly forces. If necessary, they could even silence them.
After recovering a series of new cosmic domains including Guangjin, Yadan, Tianwang, and Qianjin, Gu Hang's current number of total battle group quotas has exceeded one hundred.
It is also feasible to take out three or five newly-created regiments and secretly turn them into the Primaris.
That's what he planned to do.
At the same time, Gu Hang also noticed one point: among the three new organs of the Primaris Space Marines, one was named "Cawl's Furnace" in the technical data.
Who is this Kaul?
He only knew one person named Kaur.
The Great Sage of Mars, who claimed to have lived for 10,000 years, was the one who had made an agreement with Robert, the Son of God.
This original casting technology actually originated from Kaul in essence?
Great sage, oh great sage, I didn't expect you to be exposed in this way, did you?
If one wants to allow the Primaris to appear openly in the world, this great sage is probably an existence that cannot be avoided.
Thinking of this, Gu Hang couldn't help but pay attention to the current situation on Super Starfish.
