Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 273 Organic Nanobugs

From 019 to 020 in the 40th millennium, for more than half a year, the star gate in Macragge remained open. Groups of fleets crossed the star sea and came to Parmenio to garrison.

The number of battleships was so despairing that the clerk responsible for monitoring the movements of the Star Gate threw his pen down in anger and simply gave up counting.

What makes people feel even more powerless is that, according to the intelligence collected by the Ultramarines in the past six months, the huge fleet gathered in Parmenio, which even if all the production capacity of the Great Ultramar star field is exhausted, cannot compete with it, It is actually just a conventional naval combat force that has been hastily produced by the Far East Star Territory in recent years.

The real destructive power in the hands of the Star Destroyer has not yet been deployed. The hive fleet known as the "Coroniai" has always been entrenched in the southern star belt and has never used a single soldier.

No, maybe it has moved, for example, the giant etheric insect that came from the abyss beyond the river and attacked Parmenio.

Admiral Wagner's impassioned speech convinced everyone, and the entire strength of Ultramar was mobilized. With the comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the star bomber, pieces of intelligence began to surface, and Ultramar's plans for the Far East The current situation of Star Territory has a clearer understanding:

For example, the Order of Truth under Star Bomber is an academic heretic organization that does not believe in the God of All Machines at all; for example, there are actually a large number of Eldar serving in the armed forces of the Order of Truth; and for another example... the shameless Federation The puppet regime just relied on a land cession contract that was not recognized by Terra, and unreasonably forcibly claimed the Far Eastern Star Territory as its legal territory.

It is said that when the general content of the land cessation agreement was investigated and sent to Macragge, Marshal Wagner cried bitterly at his desk all night and vowed to regain the territory occupied by the heretics for the God-Emperor.

He put a lot of effort into this, focusing on collecting intelligence about the combat power of the Star Destroyer. One piece of information attracted his special attention: among the insect swarms controlled by the Star Destroyer, there was a special existence called the Insect Queen.

Unlike the beast-like low-level Zerg, the Zerg Queen has a cunning mind, extraordinary wisdom, and powerful psychic power that even Alpha-level psykers can't match. If Ultramar wants to reclaim the occupied Far East for the Empire, In the Star Territory, the Insect Queen is a serious problem that must be eradicated.

But it seems that since a few years ago, the Insect Queen has been hiding somewhere in the southern part of the Far East Star Territory and has not gone out for any activities.

"What has the Insect Queen been doing in the past few years when she has not been out in public? Is she hiding in secret and planning a conspiracy against the empire?" Wagner frowned.

"Coroniai has been staying in Proxima Iris for so long, but I don't know if he has achieved any results?" Gray Feng's eyebrows were crooked, and he took the biological director Joshua and his men to the biological ark in a good mood. superior.

Ever since Russell ordered Coroniai to decipher the organic canon and reconstruct the human genetic code, Fodlan's biological ark has been parked on the outer edge of Proxima Iris without moving. After not seeing Big Chongzi for several years, Gray Feng even felt better.

Gray Wind entered the Biological Ark with great expectation, led by several Elf Banshees. The monks from the Biological Department following her looked very excited, especially Joshua. They were all extremely interested in .

"Creating new humans is something that the omniscient and omnipotent god 'God' in Terra's ancient mythology can do. I never thought that I would be able to receive this honor in my lifetime and personally participate in God's great cause of creating a new race..." Joshua His tone was filled with emotion, and his steps were a little wobbly as he walked in the spirit bone corridor.

Gray Feng was a little confused: "Don't you guys not believe in God?"

"We believe in objective facts. If God really exists, even if we cannot understand it at our level, it does not prevent us from recognizing it." Joshua spoke righteously.

"You guys are so difficult to understand..." Gray Wind sighed and did not dwell on this issue.

The group of people walked through the corridor and came to the entrance of the Tree of Life courtyard deep in the Biological Ark. As soon as Gray Feng's left foot stepped out of the door, he saw a tall figure running towards him and threw himself down in front of the stunned Gray Feng. .

Koroniai, who was more than two meters tall, lay pitifully in the arms of Hui Feng, who was smaller than her chest. She looked like a pitiful creature: "Gey Feng, it's hard to be a god."

"What are you talking about..." Gray Wind touched Koroniai's head and wrinkled his nose.

"Don't you call the creation of new human beings a great cause of God?"

"Only Joshua would scream like that." Gray Wind helplessly tried to push the tall female insect away from his arms, but Koroniai had no intention of getting up: "Why are you holding me? "

Joshua subconsciously took a step back, looked at the monk behind him anxiously, and then took a few steps back.

"Grey Wind, Gray Wind, please help me. Can you go to the master and plead for me? Let him give me some more time...at least, at least for another 20 years..." Koroniai's four arms tightened together. Holding Hui Feng in his arms, he looked like he was in a miserable state and wouldn't let go unless you help me.

"You can do this kind of thing yourself... But is the Marshal's request so difficult? Even you need twenty years?" Gray Wind helplessly caressed Koroniai's sad face.

When it came to business, the miserable expression on Koroniai's face quickly disappeared, and the insect mother said solemnly in a unique and solemn tone when reporting on work: "Twenty years is just the time required to decompile the organic canon. If If it’s to create a new species as requested by the master...even I don’t have much confidence.”

"Is it that difficult?" Gray Feng was a little surprised.

"It's super difficult." Koroni Ai nodded repeatedly: "With the complete organic gene library as a reference, no matter what the master wants is a powerful warrior or a smart and intelligent species, I am confident that we can create a creature that is special in a certain talent. It is not difficult to find outstanding dominant species, but unfortunately, the owner wants them all.”

"Can't you want them all?" Gray Wind asked.

"It's difficult." Koroniai shook his head: "The brain of organic creatures has been the number one high-energy-consuming organ from ancient times to the present, and it is even worse for intelligent creatures like humans. Even if it is a Zerg, it is difficult to produce an animal with a developed brain and powerful spiritual energy. The biomass consumed by brainworms is much higher than that of knife bugs or gunworms of similar mass, not to mention that the movement of muscles and tendons itself also consumes a lot of energy."

"The ultimate creature required by the master has reached the pinnacle of molecular biology in terms of intelligence, physical strength, and even metaphysical willpower. The opposite is ultra-high energy consumption. No matter how I optimize the digestive system and the efficiency of food absorption, , it is difficult to maintain the operation of the body’s organs.”

"Perhaps, research into a high-energy food specifically for this energy-intensive body?"

"It is possible, but supply is a problem. The products created in that way will lose the ability to survive in the natural environment of the universe. Once the rear supplies are lost, they will not be able to obtain enough energy to maintain vital signs. The master should not want to see future Federation crew members Starved to death on the expedition.”

"Then... speed up metabolism? Solve the problem by improving eating efficiency?"

"Such new humans will excrete more diligently than the birds of Ancient Terra. Moreover, excessive metabolic efficiency will also shorten the life span of the species."

"That……"

Gray Feng made several suggestions in succession, all of which were feasible to a certain extent, but the final product always had a strange style.

After another idea was rejected by Koroniai, Gray Wind ran out of ideas.

"Is it really impossible?" Gray Feng was a little discouraged: "Aren't the physical conditions of the Eldar very close to the requirements of the Marshal? They have a flexible mind, superb psychic talent, and a very strong body... Koroniai, you can try Let’s refer to the Spirit Clan.”

"The genes of the Eldar are a bunch of shit mountain code..." Koroniai lost his temper: "And it is still a shit mountain code that was encrypted by the ancient saints and later the Eldar Empire."

Indeed, the conditions of the Eldar as organic creatures are close to perfection in all aspects. It is not an exaggeration to call them the most ideal life form. However, the problem is that the superiority of the Eldar comes from the handwriting of the ancient saints and the genetic engineering of the Zerg Queen. No matter how powerful his attainments are, how can he be as good as the ancient saints?

Coronialian's slightly deeper Eldar genetic code cannot be decoded. If you want to decode it, you will probably have to find the Haemonculi.

The earliest group of Haemonculi were actually the superior nobles of the original Eldar Empire. They had the most orthodox and complete ancient Eldar biological technology in their hands.

"The Marshal happened to be active near the Eye of Terror recently. He plans to lead his army to invade Commorragh... Why don't we ask him to capture all the Haemonculi in Comorrix alive for you to study?" Gray Wind suggested in a low voice.

Koroniai nodded: "This is also a way..."

At this point, we can only hope to get some more advanced technologies from the Haemonculi.

"Well... I have a proposal." A voice out of breath suddenly came from the spirit bone tunnel behind him.

Coroniai and Gray Wind followed the sound, and it turned out to be the biological director Joshua and his assistants who had been scared back by the insect queen's coquettish behavior just now.

Joshua patted his chest lightly, calmed down, and said seriously: "Please allow me to participate in the academic discussion between the two of you... I have an immature idea about the issue that the new form of human beings cannot cover all abilities. "

"What do you think?" Koroniai asked.

"—Multiple creatures," Joshua said.

Koroniai thoughtfully rubbed her chin against Gray Wind's chest, gesturing for him to continue.

Joshua gained some confidence and continued: "Thanks to Ms. Tokoloniai, I have done some research on the social structure of the Zerg. A unified will dominates countless independent individuals to form a complete system. I think this It is a very ideal life form.”

"What you mean is that you don't have to stick to having a single individual possess a variety of extraordinary abilities that exceed the individual's load. Instead, you can design a brand new Gestalt organic creature based on the social form of the Zerg. Let the human body Every cell in the body exists independently, allowing humans to reshape their own cell structure at will..." Gray Feng thought for a while and shook his head: "It's a very good idea, but it can't be called a human being like that. For humans? Maybe they should be merged directly into the insect swarm."

Koroniai also held the same opinion. This could meet the requirements, but he felt that the owner would not buy it.

Joshua quickly said: "I also have my own solution to this problem, such as referring to your body shape, Miss Gray Wind..."

"Huh? Me?" Gray Feng was a little confused.

"Yes, you." Joshua said slowly: "I know that the essence of Miss Gray Wind's life is a high-level consciousness born from the micro-mechanical cluster, and the main body is a highly integrated nano-robot. The appearance mimics that of a human being and serves as the leader’s secretary.”

"Ugh...you saw it." Gray Feng looked helplessly at the sky.

The time to convince them is now... Joshua struck while the iron was hot and said hurriedly: "So, I think the model of organic life does not need to completely simulate the Zerg, nor does it need to create multiple individuals with different shapes to perform their own duties. We should start from Start researching at the most microscopic level and create an 'organic nanobug' that is small enough to edit atoms, as the most basic unit of life."

"On this basis, human consciousness is transplanted into it, and countless organic nanobugs imitate the human form...perfectly."

Joshua's voice was trembling. He was very satisfied with his plan and very excited.

"No, let me tell you... when matter reaches the atomic level, is there really any difference between 'organic' and 'inorganic'?" Gray Feng sighed:

"Human life forms have been modified to this level. Instead of lying to ourselves and others about genetic modification, we might as well just call it 'micro-mechanical ascension'."

"...You are trying to persuade us by changing your concept and let us allocate federal resources to satisfy your own research desires, right?"

"I'm very sorry, but... yes." Joshua was a little embarrassed: "But I still think this is the best plan."

Gray Feng shook his head helplessly.

Really, I was actually looked down upon by a human scientist...

Koroniai did not retort with Gray Wind, but rested his chin on Gray Wind's shoulder, looking thoughtful.

"No, Koroniai, are you really going to do what he wants?" Gray Wind was shocked.

"I won't make any progress if I continue like this, so why not try in another direction?" Koroniai smiled:

"It will take time for the master to return from Comoros. In this way, little fellow of the Order of Truth, it will be about a few years from now until the master returns home. During this time, I will allocate resources and manpower to assist in your research. , as to whether this idea can be turned into reality, and to what extent you can implement your ideas during the research process...it depends on you."

"Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down!" Joshua was overjoyed.

"Let's tell the master this when he comes back... I really have no direction, so I decided to place some bets on you." Koroniai shrugged, and then hugged Gray Feng's thin shoulders tightly, He knelt down on the spot:

"Grey Feng, Gray Feng, can you help me beg the master for mercy?"

"Okay, okay, okay...I'm going, I'm going, I'm going." Gray Feng felt like he was becoming more and more like his mother.
