Chapter 210 Malzan

It was a long voyage, and the ultra-small fleet consisting of scientific research vessels and cruisers drifted in the vast void and subspace for seven months.

Camille's transformation was successfully completed.

This surgeon who was eager for excitement but afraid of death turned into a burly and strong man of 2.6 meters.

The transformation of Qiaoshida was also successfully completed.

The bald warrior was skeptical about the transformation at first. He thought, Khan, what's the difference between you and the Emperor's children? Fu Qinghai patted his chest and boasted: The difference is that I am more awesome than the old Chinese doctor!

The Brotherhood of God Machine has two new alien space warriors.

I don't know whether it is fortunate or regrettable that neither Camille nor Joestar experienced psychic awakening.

But the brain of MODOK still gave their brains enough enhancements: photographic memory, fast learning, super calculation, genius understanding...

Joe Star didn't think it was a big deal. When he was young, he was just a gang member in the mining world of Cthonia, and most of his memories before his promotion were already blurred. The hard training of the Space Marines had long been written into his muscle memory.

But Camille was ecstatic. Camille studied medicine from undergraduate to doctoral level. He knew the difficulty and pain of studying. If he had such a magical organ as the Brain of M.O.D.O.K., he could have completed all medical courses in just half a year.

It can be seen that the greatest benefit of the Brain of MODOK is not the awakening of psychic power, but the shortening of the time required to train Space Marines!

At the same time, in seven months, two sets of brand new MK8 anti-insurgency power armor were also produced on the Goliath-class forge.

The MK5 Heretic is a patchwork model. Without making any comparison, compared with the MK4 Extreme and MK6 Raven, the MK8 Suppression Model has the following advantages:

Power backpack: Nyadrazasa reactor, smaller in size, lower in noise, and more powerful in output.

Internal structure: Living metal, more sophisticated and complex, can absorb the energy of the reactor to repair itself.

External armor: Ceramic steel-plastic steel-titanium alloy triple composite armor, with stronger anti-armor penetration performance.

Helmet eyepiece: a black technology of active and passive perspective, more advantageous in special terrains such as street fighting and gang fighting.

The MK6 Raven Power Armor is a special model that sacrifices some defense for the sake of quietness and noise reduction. It is named after the Raven King. Except for the Raven Guard, other legions do not like this armor so much.

Fu Qinghai's own Blue Shell Power Armor has more Vibranium electronic muscle fiber bundles, Qingming artificial intelligence chip sockets, and a bunch of gadgets from Iron Man's Mark series armor than the MK8 anti-insurgency power armor.

As mentioned earlier, the appearance of the Blue Shell is based on the Space Marine power armor, integrating the design elements of Iron Man's armor, making it more angular and muscular.

This is also the reason why the perfect human reincarnation recognized Fu Qinghai at a glance.

This is his iconic armor.

Currently, Qiao Shida is learning hand-to-hand combat techniques from Fu Qinghai, and Camille is taking pharmacist courses from Master Quinto.

…

"He can still fight, heal his wounds. He is no longer wounded, ease his pain. He is dead, take back what belongs to the Chapter. When the gene-seed of a fallen Marine returns to the Chapter, it means that he has never died. Without death, pain has no meaning."

——A certain regiment's chief pharmacist

This passage describes the daily work of a pharmacist very well. In addition to healing wounds and recovering gene seeds, euthanasia for seriously injured and incurable Space Marines is also one of the pharmacist's jobs.

Fu Qinghai and Shi Lan had disassembled Camille's former CMC-405 power armor into parts, and then integrated the "Shelter" medical module originally installed in the large shield into a medical backpack, which was equipped with mechanical tentacles and servo arms.

The left arm retains the A-13 tracer grenade launcher, the UED's blinding gadget, while the right arm is an "executioner" metal piston device, specially designed to bring "Emperor's Rest" to seriously injured Space Marines.

This set of power armor does not have a specific design, but only has a "positive spiral" logo painted on the shoulder armor as a symbol of the pharmacist.

Because Camille's medical backpack is the same as Fu Qinghai's flight backpack, it can be disassembled by itself, and the two devices on the arms can also be disassembled. After all are removed, it becomes a standard MK8 anti-insurgency power armor.

Modular design represents an advanced path.

Subsequently, Qingshan Nayan Khan announced a series of personnel appointment adjustments:

Joestar Ashes is the captain of the Brotherhood's first tactical squad. He is the only member of the squad.

Camille Lim is the chief pharmacist of the Brotherhood's pharmacy department. He is currently the only one in the pharmacy department.

…

Fu Qinghai asked Ron for his opinion and asked him if he was willing to become an Astartes.

Ron expressed his reluctance and said he still wanted to sleep with the woman.

Fu Qinghai did not force it.

Chen Xinlu and the other two were still staying on the cruiser. There was no suitable nest world on the route planned by the navigator for the fleet. When they encountered a mining world and an agricultural world, the three of them found various excuses not to get off the ship. It was obvious that they wanted to hitchhike, so Fu Qinghai just let them go.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

There was a knock on the hatch.

"Come in."

Fu Qinghai leaned over the desk and said without raising his head.

It was the navigator Tracy, who was wearing a navigator's robe and holding a slender golden staff with a hollow eye on the top and white strips hanging beside it.

Tracy walked into the captain's room, handed a data tablet to Fu Qinghai, and said:

"Khan, we will reach Malzan in half a day."

Fu Qinghai picked up the data tablet, on which was the route Tracy had planned for the fleet: Holy Terra → Malzan → Prospero → Moon of Gravia → Schwerin → Holy Terra.

Fu Qinghai's gaze lingered on the data board for a long time, and he slowly said,

"Before returning to Terra, add one more place, the Cheslatan Colonial Outpost, Empire Number 17-974 Planet."

The navigator quickly found the planet on the star map, located on the edge of a distant, hazy star region.

"Is there some tactical objective there, Khan?"

Tracy asked curiously.

The latest updated astronomical data showed that it was an agricultural world waiting to be developed and was currently a wild world. Tracy didn't understand why the fleet had to go all the way around to get there.

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"Just plan the route, navigator."

Tracy kept her mouth shut and didn't ask any more questions.

When she was about to say goodbye and leave, Fu Qinghai suddenly asked:

"You never seem to cover the eyes on your forehead, Tracy."

Most navigators cover their third eye to prevent the psychic influence from causing fear in mortals when they look into each other's eyes.

The Navigator turned around and nodded generously,

"Yes, Khan, this is a sign that I have emerged from the sad cycle of inbreeding. I don't think it's worth hiding."

The woman's words contained some sarcasm towards family and class.

This is a thorn in the side that jumps out.

Fu Qinghai smiled and found it quite interesting.

Tracy doesn't seem to respect her family very much, nor does she respect the traditions of the navigator class. Although I don't know why she sent such a slightly rebellious guy to her warship, so far, Tracy has demonstrated good abilities and is a trustworthy navigator.

"Yes, Ms. Tracy."

Fu Qinghai said.

The navigator bowed, said goodbye and left.

"Tsk…"

Fu Qinghai leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, his eyes were empty, and his mind was drifting to who knows where.

Cheslatan.

Where it all began.

When Fu Qinghai added this place to the route, he hesitated for a long time, and he still felt mixed emotions after making the decision.

Faye.

My Faye.

After experiencing so many reincarnation worlds and so many battles, with his old superior becoming disabled and his old colleagues killed, Fu Qinghai's mentality has also changed a little.

Fu Qinghai's feelings towards Fei Yi are different.

If any man dared to show the slightest thought towards Zhang Yuning, Fu Qinghai would definitely tear him to pieces in rage.

But for Fei Yi, Fu Qinghai's feelings have gone beyond possessiveness and control.

He hoped that Feiyi was doing better than he was.

He hoped that Feiyi would live out her life in peace, prosperity and without worries, without having to face the cruelty of war and the darkness of the galaxy, without having to follow him to experience the baptism of blood and fire, and without having anything to do with heresy, aliens and chaos all her life.

Could it be that Faye was married already?

Married to some ordinary man in the colonial outpost?

Get married, have children?

Fu Qinghai once asked Feiyi to wait for him, but who knows how much weight a promise made during wartime has?

When Fu Qinghai stepped onto the deck of the Short Sword, he didn't even know if he could come back alive, so how could he dare to make a promise? It was just a consolation.

Fu Qinghai's mind was full of random thoughts.

He didn't know why he had to return to the colonial outpost, nor did he know if he would be able to accept the fact if he saw the scene in his fantasy.

"ah!"

Fu Qinghai scratched his hair in annoyance and decided not to think about this problem anymore and to complete the task at hand first.

Fu Qinghai turned on the battleship broadcast:

"All combat personnel, assemble in the combat meeting room."

......

"About to be captured by the planet's gravity."

"It has merged into Malzan's space orbit."

Fu Qinghai was wearing full armor, standing on the bridge, listening to the reports from the augury array. The mortal crew members in charge of various departments were compiling the information, forming a constantly refreshing data stream, which was presented on the screens around the bridge.

"A space station has been spotted ahead, Khan."

A crew member faced the screen and shouted.

Outside the porthole of the bridge is a hazy gray-blue planet. Not far in front of the battleship, a ring-shaped space station has come into view.

"Isn't it said that this is a feudal world? Why is there such a thing as a space station?"

Ron turned his head and asked curiously.

Fu Qinghai explained:

"The feudal world mainly refers to a world with a feudal political system. It does not represent a specific level of technological development. Many worlds that can create Knight Titans are feudal worlds. Of course, generally speaking, the technology in feudal worlds is not very advanced."

A leisurely sigh sounded nearby:

"In fact, Malza was once a technologically advanced and prosperous human colony during the Dark Tech Age. It has now degenerated into a backward feudal world because the technology of the Old Night Age has been lost and cannot be understood by the people today."

It was Master Quinto, who also appeared on the bridge of the Fiery Horse.

Fu Qinghai already knew this information when he accepted the mission. He asked the mortal officer in charge of the augur array:

"Scan results of the space station."

"No signs of life, Khan."

Fu Qinghai said to Qiao Shida and Camille who were waiting on the side,

"Follow me and go check it out."

"Yes, Khan."

The three went to the boarding deck and boarded the Thunderhawk gunboat, and soon arrived at the space station. The space station was not designed with a platform for the Thunderhawk gunboat to dock, so the three flew out of the Thunderhawk and used the jets of the power backpack to move forward.

The three men, holding guns, formed a triangular search formation and walked silently in the space station corridor.

"The air circulation system is working, Khan."

Camille reminded:

"There's air to breathe here."

Fu Qinghai looked around vigilantly and said,

"Someone visited here in advance."

"That's right."

Qiao Shida quietly opened the sealed breathing valve, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"I smell blood."

The three advanced to the deep core of the space station, where they found three bodies.

Three corpses wearing power armor, as tall and strong as them, with iron gray paint, and the iconic yellow and black diagonal stripes on the shoulder armor, which resembled the "warning" sign in traffic signs. They were unique to the MK3 steel power armor and had vertical grille iron helmets similar to the medieval knight's helmets.

"Iron Warriors."

Fu Qinghai came to the conclusion.

"These guys have come to join in the fun."

For some reason, Iron Warriors are particularly fond of MK3 Iron Power Armor. This type of armor is designed mainly for boarding and fighting in confined environments. It is not intended to replace MK2. The armor is thick but a bit bulky.

Qiao Shida squatted down and carefully examined the wounds on the body, and said,

"Bolt gun, power sword, the killer is the same as us."

Fu Qinghai examined the scene more carefully, the positions and postures of the three bodies, as well as the traces of fighting. He narrowed his eyes and said slowly:

"Very strange."

"Very strange."

Camille asked in confusion:

"What's strange about that?"

Fu Qinghai said:

"From the traces at the scene, the murderer was standing between the three Iron Warriors before he suddenly attacked and killed them. The Iron Warriors were killed by a surprise attack."

Fu Qinghai said in a playful tone:

"I don't think a giant who is two meters and five meters tall and wearing power armor can rely on stealth technology to hide next to the Space Marines."

Qiao Shida suddenly realized:

"So... you mean, they had an internal conflict?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head:

"It was so quick and decisive, more like a premeditated murder."

Fu Qinghai raised his head:

"Tell me, is there any legion of Space Marines that can blend in quietly among the Space Marines of other legions?"

Qiao Shida answered without hesitation:

"Alpha!"

After thinking about it, he frowned and said:

"But there is no evidence that Alpha did it."

Fu Qinghai took off his helmet, dipped his hand in the dried blood on the ground, and said:

"You'll know after you try it."

After saying that, he inserted his finger into his mouth.

The scene in his mind suddenly changed, and broken fragments flashed back, extremely unclear. Fu Qinghai could only "see": his face fell to the ground dejectedly, and he watched a tall figure leave, with only the last trace of cobalt blue left in his pupils.

Cobalt blue.

Fu Qinghai opened his eyes:

"It's Alpha."

What puzzled Fu Qinghai was that if an Alpha had infiltrated the Iron Warriors, his armor should have been painted the same color as the Iron Warriors. Why did it become the Alpha's cobalt blue?

Qiao Shida was confused:

"Who is the traitor?"

Fu Qinghai pursed his lips:

"It's hard to say."

The Iron Warriors and Alpha are both Rebel Legions.

During the Horus Heresy, there were loyal Space Marines within the Iron Warriors Legion. The famous warsmith Barabas Dantioch was one of them. This guy helped the Ultramarines and Roboute Guilliman a lot.

At the same time, Alpha is also a very uncertain Space Marine Legion. The purpose of their rebellion remains a mystery. Even during the rebellion, the battle cry of many Alpha warriors was "For the Emperor".

In addition, there are many contradictions among the traitors. Lorgar once tried to assassinate Horus, Fulgrim and Angron did not listen to the Warmaster's command at all, Alpharius and Omegan also played their own games, and only Perturabo and Mortarion could communicate a little.

The three searched the space station thoroughly but found nothing else. All the data modules in the space station had been destroyed.

Fu Qinghai bared his teeth, feeling that the matter was becoming increasingly complicated, and ordered,

"Call it a day, return to the cruiser."
