Chapter 54 The beginning of the journey
707.M39. Solar star domain. Solar star domain. Solar system sub-section. Solar system galaxy. Saturn. Titan.
Five years have passed since Calvin accepted the transformation of the Astartes Warriors and the Holy Blood Trial.
For an angel or demigod, this time is probably just a slightly longer combat mission, but for Calvin, it means that his gene seed gland located under the neck has finally matured for the first time.
Seed extraction itself is just a simple operation. What is more complicated and technical is the storage of the seeds themselves after extraction and the observation and processing experience of various possible mutations related to the seeds.
On the day when the seeds were confirmed to be absolutely mature and removed, all the instructors in the battle group who had not gone out attended and observed the entire process of the operation.
The chief pharmacist from the Fifth Company, who was also the Grand Master himself, gently inserted the seed extractor into the already prepared incision on Calvin's neck.
The operation went smoothly and the seed quality was perfect. There are no abnormal data except that the cell activity of the seeds themselves is far higher than that of similar species.
Under the personal escort of the Supreme Master of the battle group, this precious gene seed was also sent to the training base on Mars. There, the training base, which had been vacant due to advance booking, was waiting for the arrival of this seed.
For the Gray Knights Chapter, this surgery means that their problem with follow-up recruitment will most likely be solved; for Calvin, it means that he has finally fulfilled his basic obligations as the Primarch—— Leave at least one seed of pure origin for the future of the war group.
After this most critical obligation was fulfilled, the Chapter Mentors finally no longer placed severe restrictions on Calvin's scope of action like the mother-in-law who was guarding the expectant mother-in-law.
Although the Primarch is still the most valuable asset of the Gray Knights Chapter, now that the bloodline has been left behind, taking into account Calvin's own strong will and the embarrassment of insufficient manpower faced by the Chapter, the Grand Masters finally agreed with Calvin. Wen can participate in some battles on a limited basis.
In five years, Calvin was not without gains.
First of all, the descendant of the unlucky Salis who was sealed under Titan has shrunk by a third of its size due to Calvin's five years of continuous consumption. The intensity of spiritual pressure and pollution it displays is only half of what it was originally.
In the visible future, Calvin will most likely carry out complete judgment and destruction within the next century.
Secondly, after three years of iteration, on the basis that Calvin's psychic power has become stable, his psychic command system has also gained initial trust in several years of continuous testing.
The members of the Honor Guard have also undergone long-term adaptation and passive transformation, and the nature of their psychic side has begun to move closer to the direction of order.
In the actual combat against demon samples inside the base, the psychic power with the concept of order has a huge increase in the damage effect on chaos. As for whether there will be loopholes on the battlefield in the future, it can only be decided by time.
Finally, Calvin's body shape has continued to grow for five years, and is finally close to being finalized. It is possible that his three-dimensional shape will increase with time in the long future.
However, the rapid development period of the original gene has been successfully passed, which is a reliable conclusion reached by the pharmacists after long-term and careful observation.
Calvin's latest data is as follows: He is 2.99 meters naked and nearly 3.1 meters with armor on. The naked body weighs 840 kilograms. (The author is a scumbag in mathematics. Well, in this regard, he is very suitable for writing about Warhammer. When he wrote about weight, he was corrected more than once by readers. However, he struggled because there was no specific reference object. The final reference object was the polar bear, which is 2.6 meters tall. The observed maximum weight is 800kg. Specifically, the ratio of normal bone density to water is 1.138:1, and the density of fat is close to water. Again, the body fat ratio of polar bears can reach nearly half in autumn, and with reference to humans. The standard weight for a strongman with a height of around 2.0 meters is also over 200 kilograms. It is recorded that a strongman with a height of 2.08 meters weighs 244 kilograms. At a height of 1.8 meters, the weight will be drastically reduced to about 60%. It can be inferred. When the height increases by nearly one-third, the weight increase is not linear, but is likely to be close to doubling, so the final figure is approximately 840 kilograms, and after subtracting the skeletal data of 160-170 kilograms, 670 kilograms remain. This is barely consistent with the background conditions of his height and muscle density, and can roughly correspond to the weight of a two-meter-tall human Hercules doubled. The above results are by no means rigorous, but they are indeed the author's limit. Welcome. Everyone corrects me, but I don’t want to change it anymore ToT)
After wearing the armor, he weighs nearly 1.6 tons, and his maximum running speed is unknown, but with the support of his strong cell vitality, his muscles can easily resist the heavy constraints of the tactical fearless power armor when the power source is lost. The electromagnetic muscle bundles equipped with the heavy armor did not increase his strength significantly, and were even slightly burdensome. This is also the main content of his complaints to the armored sergeants in the battle group many times.
According to other rumors, under the premise that the Gray Knights pay a high price, Mars is conducting a customized power armor project for the Gray Knights using data samples from unknown sources and obviously abnormal ones. The project is highly confidential and this source would not disclose it.
It seems that the integrity of the priests and manufacturing directors on Mars is indeed questionable today when the Emperor has not seen anything for a long time.
But there is nothing wrong with it. After all, when the price is reached, many other procedures will become insignificant.
In this day and age when the entire empire seems sluggish, manufacturing directors do occasionally have special needs that go beyond their personal responsibilities.
As long as your channels can reach those big people who really have the power to do things, then some reasonable and reasonable small needs will always be rewarded accordingly after generosity.
Such examples are common among the upper echelons of the Empire, especially among the Forge World factions represented by the Chapter Astartes and Mars.
Even requests that are less illegal, but less legal, can be responded to in some special forging worlds with enough effort, such as an unknown world called Huangquan No. 8.
This is not surprising, after all, it is a business, not shabby. If you don’t believe me, look at this STC and that STC, which one is noble and which one is depraved?
As for Calvin's weapons, after comprehensive consideration, he chose the other two weapons that Calvin was best at in his memory: the single-wielding heavy sword and the lightning claw.
This configuration can make full use of Calvin's best martial arts, making him not only flexible enough on the battlefield, but also able to fully utilize the agility brought by his powerful body in close combat with cold weapons.
Presumably, the enemies he faces on the battlefield in the future will pay a lot for it when they see this "fast and heavy" style of play.
All in all, after Calvin himself has been limitedly lifted from the ban, he still needs to wear the tactical fearless power armor modified by the Chapter and not so suitable for him for a long time.
But that's not important. What's important is that our protagonist, after five years of staying in the ten-mile slope of Titan, is finally able to participate in the battle of front-line warriors to a limited extent.
The champion knights of the Honor Guard who accompanied them were indeed the powerful support that the great mentors on the front line desperately needed. Although such a powerful unit requires more complex considerations when delivering.
The war never stops, the war is about to begin.
I don’t want to name the chapters anymore. Ever since book friends in the book review section said that I can tell the content just by looking at the names, I feel a little bit PTSD when I think about chapter names.
