Chapter 66, just a little bit of deception

Gu Hang deceived Martins.

Not much to deceive, just a little.

Drawing cakes can't be considered a lie, and if the Space Marines are willing to help him, and the future of Fury Owl does develop as he planned, then he doesn't mind supporting a warband.

He had never thought of making the immortal bird work for him completely, completely.

The difference is too great.

In the imperial system, the planetary governor and the star marines are not the same system at all, and there is no subordination to them; But when it comes to status, the latter is much higher than the former.

If it was the heyday of the Immortal Warband, then they would dominate their home planet, and the Governor of the planet would really be a mortal steward, doing some chores that the Space Marines were too lazy to do; His influence will be extremely strong within the confines of a sector, and every governor in the entire sector will respectfully welcome the arrival of the warlord and pray that his world will be helped by his nearest neighbor in times of threat; Throughout the scope of the star field, even at a distance of countless light years, the reputation of the immortal bird will spread widely.

Once a large-scale war is fought and only one warband participates, the wargroup commander will most often become the highest military commander. Although the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Astral Army are not nominally affiliated with the warband, they will fully respect the opinions of the warband, and even obey the warband's command - of course, if there is a famous general with a great reputation, the situation may not be the same.

Although the immortal bird is no longer the immortal bird of a hundred years ago, the establishment of the war group is still there, and the identity of the war group leader is still there, so it is impossible for Gu Hang to make a war group completely obey him.

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

But to form allies and mutual benefits, then it is enough.

You live in my house, drive my car, eat the food I provide, use the supplies I give you, and promise to rebuild your warband in the future...... In this case, I'm in trouble, and you don't have anything to do to help me shoot two shots, isn't it too much?

As long as this kind of alliance is maintained, Gu Hang doesn't mind fulfilling his promise to rebuild the war group for them after a long time. Whether it's the supply of manpower and material resources, or finding a way to build or buy a starship for them.

As for where Gu Hang deceived them......

That's the third point he said earlier, 'Replenish enough Space Marines'.

Gu Hang actually has a way.

How do I become a Space Marine? It's a difficult thing to do.

'Gene seeds' are needed.

After being implanted with a genetic seed, the chosen person undergoes drastic human modification. After a year or two, let the gene seed completely and meticulously change the whole body. In this way, he became a recruit.

Then, after a lengthy training, the warband deems that the recruit has met the requirements and will award the Power-Powered Warframe to truly become a Space Marine.

It's easy to say, but it's actually extremely difficult.

After the gene seed is implanted in the body, the drastic transformation is extremely difficult to survive.

The Chosen to become a Space Marine are all physically fit and determined from hundreds of millions of people, but despite this, most of them can't resist it. Or the body collapses, or the will collapses, as long as one thing is not supported, it will lead to the collapse of genes and death.

Carried over, there is also the stage of recruit training. Fortunately, this part is only severe, and generally does not have too high a mortality rate.

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

The source of soldiers is relatively easy to say, and the average warband has a whole planet as the conscription world, which is the so-called home planet. The people of a planet can be used to select soldiers, the best of the best, and generally don't worry; Even if it's a ship-based battle group, you can go to certain planets and try to recruit troops. It is not realistic to conduct large-scale selection on a global scale, but if hundreds of people want to be taken away and cultivated, will there be any governor who will oppose it?

Even if the immortal bird is now like a bear, go to a world casually and tie up a few good seedlings to go, the average planet has no intention of chasing a group of interstellar soldiers for a few people.

But even if the problem of the source of soldiers is solved, the immortal bird will not be able to solve the latter, that is, the problem of genetic seeds.

How the emperor once created the interstellar soldier gene seed is no longer known, and there is no technology left about what happened tens of thousands of years ago. In the current era, Space Marines are mainly 'born' by Star Marines themselves.

Each Space Marine, in his lifetime, can give birth to two genetic seeds. The first, five years after they become Space Marines, will mature inside them and can be plucked for use in the development of new recruits; The second one, which matures after ten years, cannot be plucked, only after death.

Theoretically, a Space Marine can change from one to two, two to four, and four to eight...... Exponential growth. But in reality, it can't be.

Space Marines are always fighting in the most dangerous battles, and it is very common for the corpses to be broken and cannot be recovered, and there is no time to collect the corpses, and the second seed may not be recovered, only the first seed, and the source is relatively stable.

Then, each warband must hand over 10% of the Empire's genetic seeds for a certain number of years, as a genetic tax, which is used to test whether the genetic seeds of the warband are pure, contaminated, and mutated, and the collected genetic seeds will also be used as a seed bank for the empire to create new warbands.

In addition, the implantation of genetic seeds has a high failure rate. Once it fails, people die.

Under the superposition of multiple factors, if the immortal bird wants to change 7 to 14 and 28, it is almost impossible.

What's worse is that the seven people who are alive now are all veterans of more than a hundred years, and the seeds of five years have long been picked. If you want to pick it again, you have to wait until they die.

In addition, there doesn't seem to be a pharmacist among them who specializes in genetic seed implantation surgery, so Pastor Rizzo has to do the work. He would, but certainly not as reliable as a professional warband apothecary. If the craftsmanship is not good enough, it may mean that the probability of the recipient's successful awakening will be further reduced.

Gu Hang said that there was no way to help the immortal bird in this regard, and Martins would not doubt it at all, it was just a passing topic.

No space soldier would expect a mortal to be of any help to the undead in this regard.

But the actual situation is that Gu Hang has this ability.

In the [Events] panel, the event line of [Immortal Bird Checkmate] has undergone new changes.

【Undead Checkmate: Gene Seed (Repeating Event, Selectable Repeatedly)】

[The Immortal Bird Warband has come to the Raging Star and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with you. A governor who is seeking to master the world and develop the world is a good match for a warband that is dying but determined to revive. 】

[The most important thing for the revival of the warband, the genetic seed, is nowhere to be found. If you have this ability, how will you choose? 】

[Pay 100 Gifts to get a Gene Seed (Immortal Bird Warband).] 】

Looking at the function of this system, the happy mood is secondary, and Gu Hang's greater feeling is that there is a cold sweat behind his back.
