Chapter 908, The Secret Behind Gene Seeds
Another problem the Blood Angels have is the curse within their gene-seed.
Gu Hang has not done much research on genetic biology, but the technology in this area is only the physical basis for Space Marines, not a decisive factor.
If it is just pure genetic modification, it is impossible to create a Space Marine. The Alliance's Biogenetic Research Institute has conducted relevant research and even created some genetic weapons. For example, the genetically modified horse was created based on the mounts of the Death Legion's cavalry. This thing is still very useful. In some environments, even transport vehicles that have been completely modified for off-road cannot enter, but this modified warhorse can enter. Their load-bearing capacity is quite good, and their digestive capacity has been specially optimized. They have low requirements for food intake and replenish physical strength quickly, so they can shoulder many packhorse transportation tasks in harsh environments.
When necessary, there are also special cavalry units that can carry out desperate assaults. This requires the bravest soldiers to carry a spear and charge on horseback under the hail of bullets. And often, their most critical weapon is a lance with a magnetic bomb on the tip. The knights charge at high speed on their horses, quickly approaching high-value targets and poking them with their lances, which is essentially to launch the magnetic bomb in the fastest and most accurate way to ensure that they can hit the high-value targets.
Such targets are often tanks, bunkers, Titans, mechas and the like.
The most important thing in cavalry tactics is the timing of the attack. Their positions must be correct and the attack must be sudden enough for it to have tactical significance. In the process of charging under the hail of bullets, the only thing they can rely on, besides their own courage and the Emperor's blessing, is their warhorses - the genetically modified warhorses have extremely strong short-distance burst speed and incredible flexibility, and they have strong vitality. Unless their legs are completely broken or their heads are fatally injured, ordinary injuries cannot stop their charge.
In fact, in the previous battle to reinforce the Blood Angels, in a key battle, the cavalry had played a relatively good role. Under the cover of the tanks, they unexpectedly rushed out at a faster speed, smashing and destroying the three most important Zerg Titans and several large Zerg Hive strategic units in a Zerg force that was trying to counterattack.
Although that cavalry regiment was almost completely wiped out with no survivors, the results they achieved far exceeded their own value in establishing the army, making it a completely acceptable exchange.
All of these are inseparable from the effect of the genetic warhorse, which shows that the Alliance Genetic Laboratory that cultivated this thing is indeed very powerful.
They have not only researched genetic war horses, but also other biological weapons, genetic modification, and human body modification. However, the Alliance still cares about some ethics and has not used them on a large scale.
It is mainly used in the development of productivity, such as animal husbandry and planting industry. The promotion of genetic modification can clearly increase output and quality.
However, the Alliance's genetic laboratories had no way to deal with the Space Marine seeds.
If it weren't for the Primaris transformation technology, the Alliance would have no way to improve the gene seeds. Even the most basic way of restoring the effects of those inferior seeds was impossible.
This situation aroused Gu Hang's interest.
He was involved in some research work.
He didn't do much research on biological genes.
But he knows a lot about the subspace.
With the help and disassembly of genetic engineers, Gu Hang was able to understand the core of the genetic seed from a very microscopic level - this thing actually has a trace amount of subspace essence!
Space Marines have a close relationship with the Warp.
This was something that Gu Hang found quite interesting.
When the Emperor 'created' the Space Marines and 'gave birth' to the Sons of God, it seems that he used some special methods.
The gene seeds in each regiment, as well as the common 'talents', 'genetic diseases' and 'characteristics', all originated from this.
The Blood Angels suffer from blood thirst and black rage. The former makes them crave to drink blood when they are passionate, while the latter makes them fall into a crazy rage and completely lose their reason.
But at the same time, these two symptoms also give the Blood Angels a strong fighting power. The Blood Angels of the same level are almost the best Berserkers. Even the Blood Sharks, a warband known for their ruthless melee assault capabilities, have a certain gap with the Blood Angels. And when the Blood Angels fall into rage, their fighting power soars directly.
For example, the Phoenix Regiment pursues perfection and has superb swordsmanship; the Infinite Warriors are calm and rational, good at operations, and have balanced abilities; the Angels of Death are cold and comprehensive, persevering, and good at plotting and forming cliques; the Saints have nothing outstanding in terms of strength, but all of them are fanatical religious elements and have strong resistance to warp erosion; the Punishers are good at frontal assaults and group operations...
These differences all stem from the subtle differences in the nature of the Warp inherited by their gene-seeds, which makes all Space Marines implanted with the same seed have some similarities in personality and talent - of course, this is a convergence in large samples, and individual differences are another matter.
There are also reckless men among the Infinity Warriors, and there are also wise men among the Blood Angels.
Although the amount of Warp essence contained in the gene-seed of each Space Marine was extremely trace, Gu Hang still immediately lost interest in continuing his research on the gene-seeds of the Space Marines.
After he understood its nature, he actually possessed the ability to interfere with gene seeds.
Whether it is strengthening the seeds or removing the genetic disease of the Blood Angels, he can do it.
But it doesn't make sense.
Because that would consume his own subspace essence. Changing a few of them would not make much sense. If all of them were changed, Gu Hang would not be able to bear it.
But through this wave of research, Gu Hang has developed an unprecedented interest in the meaning behind the fact that genetic seeds carry extremely trace amounts of subspace essence.
He didn't want to change the seed, but he was wondering how the emperor created the Son of God?
This thing is so interesting.
According to the "mythology", the Emperor first used himself as a template to create many Sons of God. Then he used the Sons of God as a template to create Space Marines based on them. That's why there are such titles as Gene Father and Gene Heir.
It is a bit difficult for Gu Hang to create a Son of God out of thin air - his biological son does not count, but he is truly a son in terms of biology and ethics.
However, he could try to reverse engineer it from the gene seed.
Now that I have the seeds, let’s try moving forward. Is it possible?
He also thought of the independent seeds in the Legion interface, such as the Phoenix Seed and Blood Shark Seed, which have undergone some changes from the original seeds.
This is a good topic.
