Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: The Governor’s Conception of the Phoenix

Before the operation began, Anato and his other two companions were quite nervous.

In fact, Anato did not understand what the word “operation” meant at first.

Later, he figured out that the operation was to cut open his body and implant an organ next to the heart. This organ would slowly develop into a second heart in the following years, and would also drive a series of changes in the body and grow eighteen superhuman organs.

Anato thought about the picture and then trembled all over.

It was quite scary.

However, he soon calmed down.

This even surprised himself.

He thought he would be too scared to continue.

It seems that the huge changes brought about by the short training before are not only reflected in the body and skills, but also include changes in the spiritual will.

Anato doesn’t think there is anything wrong with this. Of course, he prefers a braver self.

His two companions went in first, and it was his turn last.

Lying on the cleaned operating table, Anato saw an old but strong man standing next to him.

Anato knew him. This was Pastor Rizzo, an angel of the Phoenix.

The pastor’s gentle voice sounded in his ears: “Don’t be nervous, it will be over soon. I have seen your performance. You are already good enough. You will get through it smoothly.”

“Yes.” Anato nodded.

Pastor Rizzo’s voice seemed to have a special power, which really made his mind much calmer.

The operation began.

…

Martins, who was standing outside the operating room, waited for Rizzo to come out.

“How is it?”

“No problem, it went smoothly.”

“All three are like this.”

“Yes, all three are like this.”

A strong feeling of joy rushed into his mind, and Martins’ face couldn’t help but show a very strong smile.

Why shouldn’t he smile?

He had been worried about something for so long, and now he finally saw hope.

All three were successful!

The most dangerous stage of implanting gene seeds is when the operation has just ended. 70% of the failed cases occur at this stage.

Of course, completing the gene seed implantation surgery does not mean that it is foolproof. Later, the gene seeds will continue to develop in the recruit’s body, and will gradually stimulate the body to grow more than a dozen superhuman organs.

This process takes from half a year to two years, depending on the patient’s own condition. In addition, in the process of growing new superhuman organs, rejection may still occur, leading to death.

But in general, the probability is not high.

In any case, the current situation is much better than the three operations that their regiment had performed before.

Waiting outside the operating room were not only Martins, but also two other Phoenixes. One of them couldn’t help but say, “How could it be so smooth? Why did our three operations fail before?”

The other pushed him and told him to shut up.

He said angrily, “I think if the three before were also successful, we would have six new bloods now… the total number would be more than when we landed on the Angry Owl Star.”

“That’s impossible.” It was Martins who started to explain at this time, “Did you see the level of those three boys before the operation was completed?”

When Martins mentioned this, the guy who was still mumbling just now suddenly shut up.

Thinking back, it was terrifying.

How could a boy who was only 17 years old have such a strong fighting power?

Those three boys were certainly not their opponents; even if they took off their armor, they could easily suppress them one by one. However, it was already an exaggerated thing to be worth mentioning.

In fact, thinking back to the past, before he became a space warrior, he entered the Phoenix training camp at the age of eleven. In the cruel training and the final screening, he survived a lot and learned a lot before he survived the implantation operation.

And those three boys were much stronger than they were at the same age!

In fact, according to their evaluation, the only thing these three little guys lacked compared to normal Space Marine recruits was their superhuman physical fitness. In other words, as long as they survived the entire transformation operation and all their superhuman organs grew, they would immediately become proper combat brothers. What they lacked compared to veterans like them was only extremely rich combat experience.

This was an outrageous evaluation.

They had no idea where Governor Gu Hang had found these three “little monsters”.

With such qualities, such technical and tactical levels, and such willpower… there would be no problem in getting through the gene implantation operation. Although

the gene seed implantation operation was difficult, it was not really a life-or-death struggle, otherwise the Space Marines would have perished long ago?

At this time, Rizzo spoke up: “Since you are so concerned, why don’t you come with me to take a look?”

“Can you?” Martins was a little surprised.

“Of course, their conditions are very stable, unlike the previous batch. The gene seeds given by the Governor have very ideal activity.”

When it came to the gene seeds, everyone was a little silent.

Gene seeds vary from one chapter to another. This is mainly because when the Emperor created the Space Marines, he created thirteen different Space Marine Legions according to different tactical demands and strategic goals. The genes of these chapters were different from the beginning.

Later chapters were established after being split from these thirteen major legions.

In essence, all the current chapters are derived from these thirteen founding legions.

The gene seeds of the Phoenix Chapter originated from the second legion: the Phoenix Legion. They were established very early. Even if they were not the first batch of the split legion, they were the second or third batch.

After thousands of years of separation, the gene seeds of the Phoenix have become slightly different from those of the Phoenix.

Not much, but there are indeed. The Phoenix seems to have lost the inheritance of the Phoenix Legion’s famous gorgeous swordsmanship and close combat methods, but it is more tenacious and better at breaking out in desperate situations.

This is also reflected in the gene seeds provided by Governor Gu Hang.

Before, Martins was still worried that the gene seeds promised by the Governor might be from other chapters or even other legions.

This is more reasonable and more plausible. The Governor has some means and channels to get some gene seeds that are accidentally scattered outside, which is more reasonable than getting the out-of-print Phoenix seeds.

Martins is even prepared to turn a blind eye if that happens. The survival of the chapter is the first priority, and where the seeds come from… it’s up to him.

It would be best if it was the seeds of the Phoenix Legion, at least the source was the same; even if it was seeds from other founding groups, that would not be a problem.

Anyway, if the Space Marines were not taken for surgery and gene sequencing, the difference would not be very huge. After all, in addition to considering the differences in the gene seeds themselves, we also have to consider the individual differences between each Space Marine. The difference in the latter is no less than the difference in the seeds themselves.

Martins had heard before that there was a ship-based battle group called “Blood Shark” that was always wandering in the border star region of the empire and had no mother star. They lived by collecting red taxes and gray taxes every day. Their gene seeds were said to be derived from the Seventh Legion Bat Legion, but in fact there were rumors that some strange things were mixed in, making it a mess.

Although I didn’t want to, if that was the result, I had to accept it even if I couldn’t accept it.

What else could I do?

But I didn’t expect that the gene seeds that Governor Gu took out were indeed the real Phoenix seeds.

No matter from which angle or in what way to check, there was no doubt that they were pure Phoenix seeds.

Martins didn’t know whether he should be happy or unhappy.

If he was unhappy, then the blood of the regiment could remain completely pure. Could there be any harm in this?

But if he was happy… the source of the governor’s seed was always a thorn in his heart. He had tried hard to make himself think that all this came from the blessing of the Emperor and from the divine grace. But he always had some thoughts, why would the Emperor choose such a person?

As for the more inappropriate thoughts… To be honest, he had thought about it, but he felt that it was impossible.

Chaos corruption? Impossible! How could Chaos corruption have pure Phoenix gene seeds? That was absolutely impossible!

With all kinds of strange thoughts in his head, Martins and others, along with Pastor Rizzo, met three little guys who had just completed the gene seed implantation surgery and were now lying on the hospital bed.

When he saw them, Martins almost threw away all the thoughts that he should and shouldn’t have in his mind in an instant.

The only thing left was… the thought of hoping that they would grow up well.

He could feel the resonance of the same blood surging in different bodies.

He sincerely hoped that the future chapter would become stronger and stronger and restore the peak of the past!

…

[Phoenix is dying: the third stage]

[The Phoenix Chapter has already bowed to you, either openly or by conspiracy. They have sworn to become your private army. ]

[But this is still just the beginning. Building a standard Space Marine Chapter and completing the reconstruction and revival of the Phoenix will require more efforts from you. ]

[Gene Seed: You can exchange 100 points of grace for a gene seed. ]

[Space Marine-related technology tree: You can select this option while conducting a technology research and development to limit the results of this technology development to only technologies related to Space Marines. Please note that the success rate and level of technology extraction are not affected by this option. ]

[Unlock Space Marine Training: You can spend grace points to train a Space Marine to a higher level. Veteran level requires 200 points of grace; Sergeant requires 300 points of grace; Company Champion requires 400 points of grace. 】

【Growth acceleration: You can spend 100 points of grace to accelerate the growth rate of superhuman organs and complete the growth within one month. 】

…

The above are the new changes that occurred in the event line of [Phoenix will die] that has been hanging in [Events] in his system interface after the Phoenix Regiment swore allegiance to Gu Hang.

This is not an event at all, it is simply the opening of a new series of functions related to Space Marines!

Space Marine-related technology roughly determines the level of equipment; the training level of Space Marines is the same as the [Soldier Card] function, with many more training options.

Of course, it is many times more expensive.

There is even this thing called growth acceleration.

If there were no other concerns, Gu Hang might really use growth acceleration to accelerate the three guys directly and form them in one month.

But after thinking about it, Gu Hang still didn’t do that.

There is no urgent need for the number of Space Marines for the time being. Let them grow slowly. He doesn’t need to provoke poor Martins anymore. He has been stimulated a lot recently, so let him calm down first.

The Phoenix’s full oath of allegiance has brought more than just changes in events.

Gu Hang can also see the special item [Phoenix Warband] in the soldier card system.

After clicking it, he can see the details.

[Phoenix Warband: Special, cannot be upgraded]

[Quantity: 394]

[Space Marines: 4 people]

[Space Marine New Blood: 3 people

] [Warband Servants: 387 people]

[Warband Arsenal: Omitted]

The two numbers 4+3 are easy to say. The other number of 387 Warband Servants should be the group of people they found when Gu Hang authorized Phoenix to find and select young people on the Wrathful Owl Star earlier.

These nearly 400 people are almost impossible to become Space Marines. But despite this, they are still counted as the property of the Phoenix Warband and become Warband Servants.

They will then take on a series of tasks such as maintaining the logistics of the warband, maintaining armor, maintaining weapons, cooking, cleaning, etc. Even when necessary, they need to take up weapons to fight with the space warriors.

But this situation is something Gu Hang does not want to see for a long time.

In the future, his ideal appearance of space warriors is that the Phoenixes only need to take care of their own personnel and equipment.

As for the others, what mortal servants, what warband fleets… forget it.

It’s not that there are none, but even if there are, Gu Hang will definitely not put those things into the sequence of the Phoenix Warband.

The warband leader only needs to take care of the space warriors. If necessary, the planetary navy and the planetary army will provide them with support unconditionally, but that must be authorized by Gu Hang. Including the actions of the space warriors themselves, they also need to be authorized by Gu Hang.

It is impossible to expect to become an independent warlord in the starry sea like a traditional warband.

Gu Hang raises space warriors, which means raising high-level fighters and top combat forces, hoping that they can play a decisive role on the battlefield, not raising a group of uncles or a group of independent elements with separatist tendencies.

Gu Hang almost intends to cancel the configuration of mortal troops in all battle groups.

Need aircraft? Need air support? The Alliance Air Force is at your service!

Need orbital bombing? The future planetary fleet is at your service!

Need heavy vehicles to coordinate the attack? The Alliance Army Armored Regiment is at your service!

Need logistical support? The Alliance Military and Political Department and the Logistics Equipment Department are at your service!

Anyway, in Gu Hang’s plan, the Phoenix is a concentration of super soldiers, not an independent warlord. Gu Hang will give it everything else that the regiment should have, but in another way.

Martins can command the Alliance forces authorized to him, but these authorizations are only one-time and limited to this mission, and do not change the ownership.

Unless something like the Land Speeder and the Rhino Transporter are developed, which can be regarded as exclusive equipment for Space Marines, Gu Hang plans to distribute them directly to the Space Marines.

After thinking about it, it was indeed a bit confusing, so I changed it.
