Chapter 283, The Mystery of the Genetic Seed

"Nirvana?" Gu Hang frowned, quite puzzled.

After the Immortal Birds had completed their raid behind enemy lines, the Warband Leader Martins had come running for him.

Originally, Gu Hang thought that this was just a simple report on the battle situation, and he was still thinking about why he didn't hand in a report and it would be over, so he had to say it in person.

As a result, what I didn't expect was that Martins said a special situation.

He informed Gu Hang of the special situation that happened to Anato.

"Yes." Martins Salas explained to Gu Hang in detail, "'Nirvana' is...... A characteristic of our immortal birds. We have a long history, almost in ...... After the era of the Great Rebellion, the first warbands were formed. Our mother group is the founding group - the Phoenix Legion, which flows with the blood of the Phoenix. But after a long time, our genetic seed ...... Something strange has changed. ”

Now that the relationship between the two sides has reached this point, there is nothing that cannot be said to the Governor.

Martins continued: "We seem to have lost some of the talents of the Sons of the Phoenix, we don't seem to love art that much, we don't like the flamboyant fighting style that much, we have lost the sharp swordsmanship, and the fighting style has become unpretentious...... But instead, we seem to have become more patient and stronger. ”

"And the so-called 'nirvana' is a more drastic change that occurs in addition to those ordinary changes, which will only occur in a small number of people. It is possible that they will miraculously recover from their injuries while seriously injured or even near death, and will have more strength, agility, and combat awareness than normal. We call this situation 'nirvana'. ”

Gu Hang listened thoughtfully.

Although the Space Marines are generally similar, in fact, when the Human Emperor created this kind of inhuman warrior, he designed a variety of genetic templates, and through different templates, he formed different legions.

This was the first group of start-up legions.

They are generally the same, but in some details, there will be differences, which will lead to the 'production' of different genetic seeds of the Star Marine, which will naturally have certain differences in physiology. It shows that each type of space soldier will be different in talent and what he is good at.

The subsequent Star Marine warbands were all dismantled after the era of the Great Rebellion, and split into a war group with a maximum number of no more than 1,000 people as stipulated in the "Star Marine Sacred Codex". All the warbands are separated from these start-up groups.

But even though they have been split, many warbands will not forget their 'roots'. Often, warbands will have a close connection with their parent group. In fact, they originally had the same blood, the same kind of genetic seeds.

Just like the immortal bird, it was separated from the Phoenix Legion of the Second Legion. All the descendants of the Phoenix Legion are called the 'Sons of the Phoenix', some are closely united around the mother group, and some are relatively independent and detached.

But the source of genes is always the same.

From this point of view, what happened to the immortal bird is quite special.

Gu Hang opened his mouth and said, "Is it brought about by the mutation of the gene seed?" It's a possibility, but it's not very likely......"

Speaking of which, Gu Hang observed Martins' expression and didn't see any changes.

So, he simply said: "Another situation with a higher probability is that the gene seed bank of the immortal bird is 'polluted' in the process of inheritance...... Forgive me for using that word, but the trait you're talking about is more akin to the rumored similar abilities of the Fourth Legion's Blood Angels, though they didn't burst out of their dying state, but in the heat of battle. But in the end, this shouldn't look like the Son of the Phoenix. ”

Martins sighed and said with a wry smile: "Now I am extremely sure that the genetic seed you found does belong to the immortal bird, and even the immortal bird's original exclusive genetic ability is possessed, who can say that it is not?" ”

Gu Hang smiled: "This point should never be questioned. ”

"But there will be trouble." "The warband has finished the Atonement Crusade, and it stands to reason that we should pay the genetic seed tax. ”

When it came to this, Gu Hang remembered that there would be such a thing.

The Space Marines warband also have to pay taxes. It's just that the taxes they pay are a little different: not in kind, but on genetic seeds.

The amount required to pay is one-tenth of the genetic seeds harvested by the warband in each period of time.

These collected genetic seeds will be sent to the Imperial capital of Holy Terra and Mars.

There are two main uses:

First, it is used to check the genetic seeds of the war group, so as to avoid the situation that the gene seeds are contaminated, the war group is corrupted, and the enemy rebels into chaos.

This situation ...... Although it will not be reported on the surface, it is actually a lot. After the Great Rebellion, almost every legion except the Thirteenth Legion, the Infinity Legion, had traitors. Among them, the Tenth Legion, the former Guardian of the Moon, and now the Sword of Chaos, are almost all in rebellion.

The Chaos Space Marines warband, now always a great enemy facing the Empire, is the backbone of the Chaos forces.

And in the countless years after the Great Rebellion, there have also been many cases of warbands corrupting and throwing themselves into chaos. The empire is very vigilant about this, and the regular inspection and control of the genetic seeds of the warband is naturally the top priority.

As for the second purpose, it is naturally to collect enough genetic seeds to be used to build new warbands.

From this point of view, the change in the genetic seed of the immortal bird is a very alarming thing.

"How did you deal with the gene seed tax in the past?" Gu Hang asked this question.

"We ......," Martins recalled, "In the past, when there were pharmacists in the warband, they would check every genetic seed and try to choose the ones that were more like phoenixes to turn in. In addition, we have always been in contact with the mother group and will explain the situation to the mother group. The Mother Group understands our predicament and will help explain the situation to Terra and Mars, but they are also increasingly confused by the changes that have taken place in us......"

Speaking of this, Martins pursed his lips and added another piece of information: "Once we had a war leader, and we once tried to contact the Blood Angel, hoping to do a detailed comparative experiment on the genetic seeds of the two of us to find out the specific situation...... But was rejected by the Blood Angel. ”
