Chapter 165 Ordinary Gene Seed
Under the sun, the Institute of Biogenetic Engineering shines with metallic luster, and the building is surrounded by countless gears and pipelines.
Embedded in the center of the door is the emblem of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
It was a combination of skull and machinery, with gears, pistons and cables intertwined, looking sacred and solemn.
When Ron came closer, a red light lit up in the center of the skull's eyes.
The access control mechanism instantly detected the identity of the visitor and emitted a pious and respectful electronic voice:
"Lord Savior, welcome to your presence~"
A few hours ago, the "Sacred Book of Redemption" that Ron had compiled for several years was officially promulgated.
Yes, he got the inspiration from Guilliman.
The holy book covers the unity of faith, religious rituals, management systems, military obligations, law and punishment, technology and innovation, etc.
Provide specific theoretical guidance for the spread of beliefs and territorial governance, as well as norms and constraints on thought and behavior.
"Sacred Scripture of Redemption" clarifies Ron's unshakable core position in the faith as the only savior designated by the God Emperor.
This is not only a sacred promise made by the Savior to his people, but also a holy scripture that all people follow.
The holy scripture has supreme sanctity and will become the cornerstone of territorial rule.
Of course, this is just a trial version.
In the future, it will be continuously improved according to the actual situation.
One of the articles of the Holy Code stipulates that everyone within the territory must call Ron Grant the savior.
The electronic sound fell, the gears turned, and the mechanical door slowly opened.
"Lord Savior!"
At this time, Moss hurried to the door from the institute.
Ron asked gently:
"How's it going? Did the experiment succeed?"
Moss was a little excited and quite proud:
"We have extracted the key gene nodes and can carry out the next step of research experiments..."
He has just led a scientific research team to conduct an important study on gene sequences.
This research will determine whether the gene seeds can add more stable characteristics in the future and carry out continuous optimization and improvement.
"Very good, keep it up and take me to see the gene seeds."
The purpose of Ron's trip was to take a look at those precious gene seeds.
The work related to the formation of the war group is almost ready, and we can't let things slip in key places.
He followed Moss through the long passage to the gene bank deep inside the institute.
On both sides of the passage are sealed laboratories one after another, and the walls are covered with genetic maps and biological structure diagrams.
Genetic engineers are conducting various experiments carefully.
In one of the laboratories, anatomy of clones was being carried out, dripping with blood.
There are now dozens of laboratories throughout the Biogenetic Engineering Research Institute.
Under the modern scientific research system, the huge biogenetic engineering technology is divided into different modules for experimental research.
This is a great test of the director of the institute’s ability to control and coordinate the project direction.
Fortunately, Moss is an intelligent robot from the golden age.
These are nothing to him.
Currently, the institute is carrying out technical projects related to the optimization, transformation and cultivation of gene seeds.
At the same time, technologies related to gene stability are studied on a small scale to resist possible future degradation and mutation of gene seeds.
All in all, the project went quite smoothly.
The gene bank is responsible for cultivating and preserving gene seeds and is the heart of the Biogenetic Engineering Research Institute.
It consists of a series of breeding rooms and storage rooms.
Each cabin is designed as an independent unit that can withstand changes in the external environment.
The temperature, humidity and light indoors are strictly controlled to ensure the best preservation of genetic seeds.
There are transparent pipelines winding on the ceiling and walls, and golden energy flows slowly inside them.
Moss came to a cabin, looked at the monitoring panel on the cabin door, and introduced:
"This is the breeding room for gene seeds. Each breeding room can probably cultivate two gene seeds."
Ron glanced at the densely packed breeding rooms around him and nodded with satisfaction:
"Not bad, let's go in and have a look..."
A few years ago, Ron found a batch of gene seeds in the family's secret laboratory.
About fifty pieces.
Most of them have varying degrees of degradation and variation.
This is also the norm for imperial gene seeds.
Those seeds were secretly accumulated by the Grant family through various channels for thousands of years.
With those gene seeds, the Grant family secretly conducted a large number of cruel experiments on living subjects, spanning several generations.
Eventually the Praetorian Guard was created.
Unfortunately, they are far from real Space Marines.
After Ron obtained these gene seeds, he immediately handed them over to the Biological Genetic Research Institute of Biological Sage Moss.
Those fifty gene seeds were supplemented by tissue extracted from the fragments of Space Marine armor recovered from the depths of subspace.
After careful reverse bioengineering, a large number of effective gene sequences and genetic material were successfully restored.
Moss used those gene sequences and genetic material to cultivate one hundred initial gene seeds.
However, due to technical reasons, these initial gene seeds could only retain a very small part of the original body's genes.
The genetic sequences of the Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Ultramarines contained in it are almost negligible, and cannot even show any characteristics.
These nearly blank initial gene seeds cannot yet be implanted into warriors.
How to further cultivate the initial gene seed became a problem.
In the end, Moss chose the gene seed cultivation method of the Mechanicus.
That is to use clones for cultivation.
He chose a powerful individual as the mother clone.
The initial gene seed was implanted into it to absorb its genetic characteristics.
The implantation and cultivation process went smoothly.
The initial gene seed survived successfully and continued to absorb the genetic material of the mother.
Ron followed Moss into the cultivation room, and he saw a glass culture dish about three meters high in the center at a glance.
A clone about 2.2 meters high was soaked in the nutrient solution of the culture dish.
The golden energy pipeline was connected to the clone, and the clone was continuously fed with the energy of the little sun.
These energies with life and purification properties are the key to the survival of the initial gene seed.
Ron has discovered that the energy of the little sun is simply a panacea, and you can add a little bit to anything you do.
It is equivalent to the role of a stabilizer and catalyst.
Ron looked at the clone soaked in the nutrient solution and was immediately impressed by his handsomeness.
Because the face of the clone looked exactly like him.
That was the Space Marine version of "Ron".
Moss chose Roan as the mother body to create 100 clones to cultivate those initial gene seeds.
It can be said that he is quite skilled.
After all, there are dozens of versions of "Roan" clones in his clone laboratory.
Under the catalysis of the energy of the small sun, the initial gene seeds develop quickly in the gene seed glands in Roan's clones.
Under normal circumstances, the gene seeds will be stored in the gene seed glands in the Space Marines to absorb genetic material.
There are two seeds in total.
The first one matures in five years, and the second one matures in ten years.
In other words, a Space Marine can produce up to two gene seeds.
In the Space Marine version of "Roan" clones in the laboratory.
The first seed matures in three years, and the second seed matures in the sixth year.
This greatly speeds up the cultivation of gene seeds and can produce more gene seeds.
Of course, this is only when the cost is not taken into account in the laboratory.
Those gene seeds are normally implanted in the warriors, and it still takes five or ten years to mature.
Ron followed Moss into the storage room and listened to his report on the harvest of gene seeds:
"Lord Savior, the first batch of 100 mature gene seeds have been picked and stored.
It is expected that the second batch of seeds will be harvested in three years..."
In the living flesh ball chamber of the storage room, one gene seed after another is stored.
Those living flesh balls can keep the gene seeds active very well and can be implanted into the warriors at any time through transformation surgery.
These gene seeds are mainly based on Ron's gene sequence, and the gene sequences of other original bodies are negligible.
It can be said that he is the original body of these gene seeds.
It is a pity that after absorbing his gene sequence, those gene seeds have almost no outstanding characteristics, but there are no defects.
The main feature is safety, stability, and mediocre.
But in Ron's view, this is an advantage.
After all, although the warriors created by the genes of other original bodies are fierce, they also have many shortcomings.
For example, the Blood Angels have a desire for bloodshed and destruction, and even drink blood and eat corpses, and make crazy raids;
The Ultramarines are mentally aggressive, have a tendency to teamwork and class division, and have a morbid obsession with completing designated tasks;
As for the Dark Angels, they are relatively stable, and the only disadvantage is foul mouth.
Ron's gene seeds are safer and more stable than the Dark Angels.
There is almost no rejection reaction during the transformation process, and it will not affect the character of the warriors.
It can retain the diversity of their personalities.
The disadvantage is that they may be weaker than ordinary Space Marines.
For Luo, he needs relatively mediocre but safe and stable warriors, rather than those strong men who may fall into frenzy at any time.
Anyway, if the quality is not enough, the quantity will make up for it.
After having a stable and fast method to produce gene seeds.
As long as he is given time, he can pull up a large team of Space Marines.
Human wave tactics impact!
Looking at those gene seeds, Ron ordered:
"Moss, start the gene seed implantation operation..."
