Chapter 66, just cheated a little bit

Gu Hang lied to Martins.

Not a lot, just a little bit.

Painting cakes cannot be considered a lie. If the Space Marines are willing to help him and the Raging Owl Star develops in the future as he planned, then he does not mind supporting a war group.

He never thought about letting the Phoenix serve him completely and completely.

The difference is huge.

Within the imperial system, the Planetary Governor and the Space Marine Chapter Master are not the same system at all and have no affiliation at all; but in terms of status, the latter is much higher than the former.

If it were the heyday of the Phoenix Chapter, then they would dominate their home planet. The governor on the planet would really be a mortal steward, doing chores that the Space Marines were too lazy to do; his influence would be in a sector.

It is extremely powerful within the scope of the star field. Every governor in the entire star field will respectfully welcome the arrival of the chapter leader and pray that when his world encounters threats, he can get help from his nearest neighbors; within the scope of the entire star field, even if they are separated

With a distance of countless light years, the reputation of the Phoenix will spread far and wide.

Once a large-scale war begins and only one Chapter participates in the war, the Chapter Master will in most cases become the highest military commander. Although the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Astra Militarum are not affiliated with the Chapter in name, they will fully

Respect the opinions of the Chapter Master, and even obey the Chapter Master's command - of course, if there is a famous general with a great reputation, the situation may be different.

Although the phoenix is ​​no longer the phoenix it was a hundred years ago, the organization of the war group is still there, and the identity of the leader of the war group is still there. It is impossible for Gu Hang to make a war group completely obey his orders.

Don't talk about him, even the head of the sector can't do it.

But forming allies for mutual benefit is enough.

You live in my house, drive my car, eat the meals I provide, and use the supplies I bring you. I also promise to rebuild the battle group for you in the future... In this case, I am in trouble,

You're so free that you have nothing to do but give me a couple of shots. Isn't that too much?

As long as this alliance is maintained, Gu Hang does not mind fulfilling his promise and rebuilding the battle group for them after a long time. Whether it is the supply of manpower and material resources, or finding ways to build or purchase starships for them.

As for where Gu Hang lied to them...

That's the third point he mentioned before, the point of 'replenishing enough Space Marines'.

Gu Hang actually has a solution.

How to become a Space Marine? This is a very difficult thing.

Requires ‘gene seeds’.

After the selected candidate is implanted with the gene seed, he will undergo drastic human transformation. After a year or two, the gene seed will completely and meticulously change the entire body. In this way, he will become a new recruit.

Then, after lengthy training, the Chapter deems the recruit to have met the requirements and is awarded Powered Armor, thus truly becoming a Space Marine.

It sounds easy, but in fact this process is extremely difficult.

After the gene seeds are implanted into the body, the drastic transformation is extremely difficult to survive.

Those who want to become interstellar warriors are all selected from hundreds of millions of people with strong physiques and strong wills. However, despite this, most people cannot withstand it. Either their bodies collapse, or they

When the will collapses, as long as one thing is not supported, the gene will collapse and die.

After getting through it, there is still the recruit training stage. Fortunately, this part is only harsh, and generally there will not be a high mortality rate.

In this entire process, the most important things are two things: high-quality soldiers and genetic seeds.

The source of soldiers is relatively easy to say. Generally, war groups have an entire planet as a recruitment world, which is the so-called home planet. People from one planet can be used to select soldiers, and you generally don’t have to worry about choosing the best. Even if it is a ship-based war group, you can go to a certain planet.

Some planets are trying to recruit soldiers. It is unrealistic to conduct large-scale selection on a global scale, but if hundreds of people want to be taken away for training, is there any governor who would object?

Even if Phoenix is ​​now like a bear, he can just go to a world and tie up a few good seedlings. Most planets have no intention of hunting down a group of space warriors just for a few people.

But even if the problem of soldier resources is solved, Phoenix cannot solve the latter problem, which is the problem of gene seeds.

It is no longer known how the Emperor created the Space Marine gene seeds, and no technology has survived from what happened tens of thousands of years ago. In the current era, Space Marines are mainly 'born' by the Space Marines themselves.

Each Space Marine can give birth to two gene seeds in their lifetime. The first one will mature in their body five years after they become a Space Marine and can be harvested for the development of new recruits; the second one will be produced within ten years.

It matures after a year, but cannot be picked. It can only be picked after death.

Theoretically, one Space Marine can become two, two can become four, four can become eight... exponential growth. But in reality, it is impossible.

Space Marines always fight in the most dangerous battles. It is very common that the body is broken and cannot be recovered, and there is no time to collect the body. The second seed may not be recovered, only the first seed, the source is relative.

Stablize.

Then, each war group must hand over 10% of the gene seeds to the empire within a certain period of time as genetic tax, which is used to test whether the war group’s gene seeds are pure, contaminated, and mutated. At the same time, the collected gene seeds are collected

, will also serve as a seed bank for the Empire to create new chapters.

In addition, the gene seed implantation operation has a high failure rate. Once it fails, the person will die and the gene will disappear.

Under the superposition of multiple factors, it is almost impossible for the Phoenix to change from 7 to 14 or 28.

What's worse is that the seven people who are still alive in the Phoenix are all veteran warriors for more than a hundred years. The seeds have been picked five years ago. If you want to pick them again, you have to wait until they are dead.

In addition, there seems to be no pharmacist among them who is responsible for gene seed implantation surgery. They can only let Pastor Rizzo do this job. He can do it, but he is definitely not as reliable as a professional pharmacist. His skills are not good enough.

, which may mean that the probability of the subject's successful awakening is further reduced.

Gu Hang said that there was no way to help Phoenix in this regard. Martins would not doubt it at all. It was just a passing topic.

No space warrior would expect a mortal to provide any help to the Phoenix in this regard.

But the reality is that Gu Hang has this ability.

In the [Event] panel, the event line [The Phoenix is ​​Dying] has undergone new changes.

[Phoenix Checkmate: Gene Seed (repeating event, you can continue to choose)]

[The Phoenix Chapter has arrived at the Raging Owl Star and has reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with you. A governor who is seeking to control and develop the world, and a war group that is on the verge of death but determined to revive, are a good match. 】

[The most important thing for the Chapter’s revival, the gene seed, is nowhere to be found. If you had this ability, how would you choose? 】

[Pay 100 gift points and get a gene seed (Phoenix Chapter).]

Looking at this system function, his happiness was secondary. Gu Hang felt more like a cold sweat on his back.
Chapter completed!
