Chapter 188: Doing Scientific Research

The division of classes, powers, and titles within the Mechanicus is very complex and confusing, but some of the most basic titles are relatively fixed. Master Quinto's current general title is "Sage", which is what the young technical priest calls him. If Master Quinto wants to go further, there is a bigger title waiting for him -

Great sage.

The most famous Great Sage in the Mechanicus, the most outstanding one, is Belisarius Cawl, nicknamed "Dora Cawl" and "Guilliman's Wishing Well". He created the Primaris Space Marines, improved their various weapons and equipment, and set off a new round of technological renaissance in the Human Empire. He is at the level of a Great Sage.

In addition, there is Arkhan Land, a great sage who is famous for his archaeological excavations. The "Land" series of armored vehicles used by Space Marines are named after him. The Land Raider, Land Crawlers, and Land Speeders are all STCs discovered by him. This person disappeared a long time ago while exploring the underground maze of Mars and is said to have died.

Master Quinto himself certainly wanted to go further, and Fu Qinghai, as his student, was naturally willing to push his mentor to go further.

…

The formula and technology of the super soldier serum are already very mature. Compared with the versions of Dr. Erskine and Dr. Nagel, Dr. Zola's Hydra version has three differences: the degree of enhancement is slightly higher, the side effect of personality extremes is not obvious but still exists, and the beta ray irradiation step cannot be omitted.

Master Quinto originally thought that the Super Soldier Serum was the greatest gift Fu Qinghai could give him, but he didn't expect that this was far from the end.

In addition to the super soldier serum, Fu Qinghai also obtained the following four research lines of biochemical technology from the Marvel Comics Universe:

First, the X-gene implantation and activation technology from Essex Corporation.

Fu Qinghai understood this technology thoroughly after a brief calculation in his mind. It cannot be said to be a mature and stable technology, but it is a technology that can be put into practice after all. The villains in the "Deadpool" and "Wolverine" movie series, as well as the reincarnations of the perfect human branch X-Reincarnation, have already used this technology to produce many mutants.

I kept it a secret before and said that the technology used in all the mutant series movies by Marvel, Sony, and Fox all comes from the same person and the same company.

The mystery is solved. The man is Nathaniel Essex, the famous "Mr. Omen", one of the smartest mutants in the universe, the chief scientist of mutants, and the guy who has studied genetics thoroughly. Although he has not appeared directly in various movies, shots of "Essex Company" nameplates, labels, documents, etc. have appeared in various movies, which are tributes to this behind-the-scenes villain among the mutants.

Fu Qinghai has no way to directly use this technology now because there are no mutants who naturally carry the X gene in the Warhammer 40K universe. If there were, it would not be impossible to try.

Just don't try it on yourself.

2. Research on the division and replication of the original symbiont.

Symbiotes are really too mysterious. Although they don't seem that strong, they are indeed high-dimensional creatures. Fu Qinghai studied them in a laboratory in the New York Seaport District for a long time but couldn't figure them out. In addition, the assimilation points required to bring symbiotes into the Warhammer 40K universe were too high, so he gave up.

This research has been put on hold for the time being.

3. The MODOK project originated from AIM pioneering technology.

MODOK is "Magic Doker". When Fu Qinghai led Ron to raid the California headquarters of A.I.M., the super villain MODOK was not far away from being born. In order to allow Justin Hammer to smoothly control A.I.M., Fu Qinghai also deliberately killed researcher George Tarleton, so that the super villain MODOK would no longer appear in the Earth-36 universe. Without MODOK's bloody rule, A.I.M. was easier to be taken over by Justin Hammer.

Fu Qinghai has really paved the way for his sexy hottie daily necessities.

The full name of the MODOK Project, translated as "Super-intelligent Lifeforms Designed Only for Computing", was intended to create a super human brain computer. However, an accident occurred during the experiment, and researcher George Tarleton was transformed into a deformed monster with a head as big as a small room - MODOK, so he had to place himself in a life support device called the "Doomsday Chair".

Through this plan, MODOK did gain super psychic abilities and superhuman computing power. His mental power was strong enough to generate a mental force field shield to defend against attacks, and he could also use invisible mental tentacles to whip others. He could be called the Marvel version of Vega, the big devil in the Street Fighter universe, but his extremely uncoordinated short stature made it impossible for him to learn fighting techniques at the same time like Vega.

Fu Qinghai didn't want to turn himself into a deformed monster with a big head and a small body, but he thought: The Human Empire and the Mechanicus have been using artificial brain slice computers for tens of thousands of years. Regarding the topic of "how to make a smart enough biochemical wetware computer", the Mechanicus may have more say than Vanguard Technology.

So Fu Qinghai handed all the research data of the MODOK project to Master Quinto, and asked his mentor to help think of ways to improve this super-intelligent life form project.

It's the kind of look that a graduate student who can't graduate and then asks his supervisor for help with a smug look on his face.

4. The desperate virus plan originated from AIM pioneer technology.

It is difficult to define whether the desperate virus belongs to biotechnology or mechanical technology.

But it is definitely the technology that Fu Qinghai is most interested in.

Tony Stark in the movie universe developed a series of subsequent nano armors by studying the Extremis virus. Tony Stark in the comic universe developed the "Extremis.app" and Model-51 "White Can" symbiote armor by studying the Extremis virus.

What Fu Qinghai got was the research data of the Marvel Comics Universe version of the Extremis virus. It was not the Extremis virus in the movie that could turn people into high-temperature self-destructing bombs. This Extremis virus could fully enhance human functions, and the enhancement strength was no worse than that of the Super Soldier Serum. It could also repair disabilities, treat cancer, and beautify the skin... The most important point was that the Extremis virus was a nanomechanical virus!

This was what Fu Qinghai was most interested in.

Life is the most exquisite and complex mystery in the universe. Even in the 30th millennium of the human empire, the code of life science has not been completely cracked. All biochemical technologies involving serum, virus, gene, bacteria, etc. are very uncontrollable. With the same virus, the same serum, and the same biochemical transformation, some people can survive and become superhuman, some will become mutant monsters, and some will die directly. No one knows the internal principles, it is purely a matter of luck.

But the Extremis virus is different. It is essentially a nanorobot, made of iron and silicon, not protein and DNA. It is artificially made, and its functions of devouring fat, improving skin, devouring cancer cells, and strengthening human body functions are all controllable. Iron Man in the Marvel Ultimate Universe can remotely control the operation of the Extremis virus in the recipient's body through electromagnetic signals emitted by a mobile phone.

The desperate virus means a major breakthrough in nanotechnology and precise control at the microscopic level. Fu Qinghai wants to study it personally and study it carefully.

So, after handing over the Super Soldier Serum and the MODOK Project to Master Quinto, Fu Qinghai began to study the Extremis virus.

However, before all the research begins, Fu Qinghai has to visit a group of people first.

Fu Qinghai asked Master Quinto:

"Master, I heard Ogedei tell me that you know the technical priest of the Micro-Ohm Messianic Order. Is that right?"

Master Quinto raised his head from the laboratory table and said:

"Yes, a classmate of mine from Mars is now working in the Moon of Gravia. He is a logician and has the rank of super rationalist. Is there any problem?"

"Logician" and "super rationalist", the former is a research direction and the latter is a professional title level.

For example, Master Quinto is a geneticist, and his level is biological sage.

A Logicalian is someone who works with data in the Mechanicus, combining the roles of analyst, statistician, and logistics expert into one.

Fu Qinghai said:

"Has the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order sent anyone to Terra this time? I would like to ask you to introduce them to me."

For such a major event as the reorganization of the Adeptus Mechanicus into the Adeptus Mechanicus, no matter whether they agree or not, no matter whether they pretend to obey or not, I believe that all the Forge Worlds will have to send representatives to the Throne World to discuss and inform it.

Master Quinto pondered for a moment, took out a small piece of iron, handed it to Fu Qinghai, and said:

"The Moon of Gravia has sent people to Terra. They are staying in the Monzik Tower next to the Starlight Orbit of the Eternal City, room 2035 on the 837th floor. This is my personal key. Give this to them and they may be willing to see you."

Fu Qinghai took the small piece of iron and said,

"Okay, thank you, Master."

…

Fu Qinghai left the research vessel and returned to the surface from the Lionsgate Spaceport. According to the address provided by Master Quinto, he came to Eternal City.

Eternal City is a hive city near the walls of the Terra Palace. Like other hive cities, it is gorgeous and dirty.

After asking around in the hive, I finally found the place, somewhere in the upper hive area. This group of technical priests were not even willing to live in the spire area.

Except for the First Legion, the Seventh Legion and the Thirteenth Legion which were still fighting outside and had not yet returned to Terra, most of the loyalist forces had now gathered on Terra to discuss how everyone should live after the Emperor sat on the golden toilet.

The Micro-Ohm Messianic Order of the Moon of Gravia also sent representatives, but they did not choose to live in the city of Scathhalax, which was an enclave of the Mechanicum on Terra and the current territory of the Mechanicum. They also did not live directly in the research vessel in the space orbit like Master Quinto, but found a place to stay in the hive city of Eternal City.

This was very strange, but Fu Qinghai vaguely guessed why the representatives of the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order wanted to live here.

It is really hard to define whether studying nanotechnology is considered heresy in the Mechanicus, but there are definitely people who are skeptical and critical of it. Their cautious, low-key and secretive style of doing things is in line with the characteristics of these niche branch sects.

Fu Qinghai came to this ordinary floor. If Master Quinto hadn't told him, he would never have imagined that there were several technical priests living here.

"Boom boom boom!"

Fu Qinghai knocked on the door.

After a while, a vigilant voice came from behind the door:

"Who are you?"

"A captain of the White Scars. My name is Qingshan."

Fu Qinghai replied.

"I don't know you, what are you doing here?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The voice behind the door was still full of distrust.

Fu Qinghai shook the small piece of metal in his hand towards the cat's eye and said:

"Master Quinto asked me to come here. This is his token."

There was silence behind the door. After a moment, the sound of a lock being unlocked was heard, and then with a creaky sound, the door was opened.

A technical priest draped in a gray-black robe appeared behind the door.

Fu Qinghai handed over the small piece of iron in his hand.

The technical priest extended his mechanical tentacles, picked up the small piece of metal, and inserted it into the interface on his chest. After verification, he nodded, handed the small piece of metal back to Fu Qinghai, and said,

"It is indeed Quinto's key. Who are you to him? What do you want from us?"

Fu Qinghai said:

"I'm a technical sergeant. I once studied under Master Quinto. I have a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

The Tech Priest asked,

"What deal?"

Fu Qinghai looked at the passages on both sides and said,

"I don't think this is a good place to have a conversation."

The technical priest hesitated for a moment, but finally let Fu Qinghai into the room.

In the room, there were several younger technical priests who did not have many mechanical parts embedded in their bodies. Fu Qinghai explained in detail the research data he had on the desperate virus and proposed a joint research plan in which Fu Qinghai would provide the technology and the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order would provide the materials.

Fu Qinghai learned from Master Quinto about the current level of nanotechnology of the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order.

Their technical priests have three types of nanorobots in their bodies:

structural nanorobots and microscopic repair and construction nanorobots.

Deconstruct nanorobots and dismantle and destroy at the micro level.

Interface nanorobots to build temporary neural connections.

In general, they are not even close to the desperate virus, so although Fu Qinghai cannot reach the level of technological gap compared to them, he definitely has technological advantages, and they can complement each other's advantages to a certain extent, which is the prerequisite for discussing transactions and cooperation.

With the support of his classmate relationship with Master Quinto and the experience of fighting against the Midnight Lords alongside the White Scars, after a little negotiation, Fu Qinghai successfully reached a secret cooperation agreement with the technical priests of the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order. The two sides conducted academic exchanges and technical exchanges in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

"The microscopic level of the God of All Machines exists in all machines. Therefore, the finer the scale of the machine, the closer it is to the microscopic existence of Ohm Messiah, and accordingly, the more perfect and harmonious the mechanical creation will be."

This logician named Vanak was introducing the ideas of their Micro-Ohm Messianic Order to Fu Qinghai in a tone full of devout faith.

In a word, it is only at the microscopic level that the true Ohm Messiah can be found!

Fu Qinghai nodded and agreed:

"The significance of nanotechnology for the development of science and technology cannot be underestimated."

Seeing that Fu Qinghai agreed with his ideas, Vanak was even happier. He took Fu Qinghai aside and introduced his branch sect in detail.

Perhaps because they had suffered too much doubt and denial from within the Mechanicus in the past, many Forge Worlds believed that the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order was following a heretical path. It was rare to meet someone like Fu Qinghai who not only understood nanotechnology but also recognized the development prospects of nanotechnology. Sage Vanak immediately regarded Fu Qinghai as a close friend, and they talked about everything that should and should not be said here.

It turns out that the reason why the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order chose the Moon of Gravia as the forging world is because they want to use a special kind of silicon crystal produced in its veins to manufacture their core product - nanomechanical dendrites.

The Moon of Gravia has been providing internal control systems for the Imperial Fleet in the past. The internal circuits they produce enjoy a high reputation in the Imperial Navy and are one of the main suppliers to major Imperial shipyards.

Fu Qinghai gave them a thumbs up.

At the same time, Sage Vanak, who was having a great time chatting, came up to Fu Qinghai and whispered,

"Do you know, Captain Qingshan, even the flying needles of the flying needle sniper rifles used by the Assassin Court were made by us?"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey…" Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai quickly raised his hand to stop talking:

"Master Vanak, there's no need to talk about this. I'm not interested in which Forge World the Assassin's Court uses as a supplier."

Fu Qinghai was afraid that if he continued talking, the Vindicare assassin hiding outside the tower would shoot a needle in.

Otherwise I'd better put on my helmet.

Fu Qinghai thought.

But it is said that the level of the Vindicare Assassin is enough to shoot through the gap of the Space Marine helmet eyepiece from several kilometers away.

It's useless to wear it.

This is Holy Terra, the headquarters of the Assassin's Court. The seven major Assassin's Temples are all here. Why are you talking about the origin and specifications of the flying needle rifle? Aren't you afraid that the walls may have ears?

Putting this little episode aside, in short, after reaching a cooperation with the Micro-Ohm Messiah Order, Fu Qinghai's full-line research progress was no longer delayed and was carried out in full swing.
