A flash of white light.
Fu Qinghai and Shi Lan appeared in the captain's room of the Su Zheng.
Fu Qinghai took off his helmet and said to the communication channel:
"All senior officers of the Chapter, assemble for a meeting."
…
Inside the combat meeting room.
The Space Marines gathered together.
Fu Qinghai glanced around.
Very good, everyone is there except number 56.
Fu Qinghai didn't want to see his men die and disappear after the end of a reincarnation. At present, it seems that the Space Marines have almost no shortcomings in their "sturdy measurements" and extremely strong survivability, so they can safely pass through most reincarnation worlds without any problems.
Putting aside special cases like Lucy and Sentinel where the protagonist's halo + luck burst out, the Space Marine bloodline can be said to be the most solid and reliable transformed bloodline in the world of reincarnation.
Fu Qinghai gave free gifts to Lin Yu, Tristan, Camille, No. 56 and other players who joined the club and the regiment, including a tube of Extremis virus, two transformation surgeries and a set of MK8 anti-insurgency power armor. In addition, they could also pick and choose any mass-produced equipment in the regiment's arsenal.
And so far, Fu Qinghai has not made any demands on them, neither asking club members to hand in assimilation points nor calling on club members to take collective action.
However, none of them were the kind of people who took all gifts for granted. Just because Fu Qinghai didn't ask for anything didn't mean they could enjoy it all with peace of mind.
Everyone knows about Fu Qinghai's amazing scientific research ability. Although it is not clear where this incredible scientific research ability comes from, it does not prevent them from consciously bringing the black technology from various reincarnation worlds to the battle group.
It's comfortable to deal with people with both high IQ and EQ. Having been used to seeing teammates who are all kinds of giant babies in various MOBA games, Fu Qinghai feels that the old buddies in his team are really sensible and sensible. How lucky he is to have such teammates.
"Come on, let's talk about what we have gained."
Fu Qinghai knocked on the table and said.
This is the norm every time you return to the Warhammer 40K universe.
Lin Yu took the lead and said:
"Khan, the Underworld universe was opened for the first time, and Director Ka and I descended there together."
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
Fu Qinghai showed some interest.
The legends of vampires and werewolves run through the entire European and American cultural circle, and blood-themed themes are known as the favorites of middle-aged European and American women. Among them, the representatives of science fiction vampires should be these three IPs - Underworld, Twilight, and Blade.
Their settings are relatively complete, and Blade is a superhero in the Marvel Universe.
As for those fantasy vampires, such as "Dracula", "Van Helsing", "Interview with the Vampire", "Bram Stoker's Dracula", etc., the settings are relatively simple and not widely spread. According to the logic of the Order Alliance, it is difficult to generate a complete reincarnation world.
"What vampires, what werewolves? They are so weak. Director Ka and I killed them all."
Lin Yu said proudly.
The aide-de-camp and the chief pharmacist were both senior officers with relatively high personal combat power in the regiment. Fu Qinghai carefully recalled the plot of the Underworld series of movies -
The worldview is very simple. It is a dark underworld hidden in modern society composed of werewolves and vampires. The wars they fight are at the level of gang gunfights and armed fights. As long as the two are not so stubborn as to take the direct fire of the tank's main gun with their faces, there is really no problem in getting through it.
"The combat power of the natives in the Underworld universe is average. The only ones who caused us some trouble are the perfect humans."
Camille took over Lin Yu's words and added:
"They also came to the Underworld universe. The thirty-man team led by the club's boss, Monroe Melville, wanted to obtain the werewolf genes and vampire genes from the Underworld universe, but they were also wiped out by Lin Yu and me."
"The leader of the perfect human race was killed by me, Khan."
Lin Yu said.
Having said that, there was no pride on his face, instead there was some confusion - why is the club leader so weak?
"That's just a clone of Monroe."
Fu Qinghai casually explained:
"I killed one once, too."
Lin Yu suddenly realized.
Director Ka took out two test tubes and said:
"Ahem, unfortunately, due to the competition between us and the perfect humans, Alexander, Marcus, and William escaped. I was unable to obtain their gene samples and serum samples. This is the ordinary werewolf serum and ordinary vampire serum that I purified by centrifugation, as well as the corresponding gene samples."
Fu Qinghai knew who Camille was talking about.
In the setting of the Underworld universe, Alexander was the ancient European human who was first infected with the plague and mutated to gain immortality. Marcus and William were his two sons, who were bitten by bats and giant wolves respectively and became the ancestors of the vampires and werewolves. In theory, the immortality gene in their bodies is the source of all mutations. Other vampires and werewolves are considered their descendants, so the genes of these three people are the most precious.
When ordinary players think of the Underworld series, their first impression is probably the British rose Kate Beckinsale's black tight leather jacket, but Camille and Lin Yu have followed Fu Qinghai for so long that they know very well what their boss really wants.
"Director Ka, steady!"
Fu Qinghai gave Camille a thumbs up.
The Chief Pharmacist's work has won the heart of the Chapter Master.
Although he didn't know what these things were used for.
The vampire bloodlines in Underworld and Blade barely mention silverware and garlic, but they all have one thing in common - they are afraid of sunlight and will die if exposed to it. It's a bit rubbish compared to the vampire bloodlines in Twilight.
European and American aunts and young girls like pale and feminine handsome vampires, so werewolves are generally supporting roles. Apart from whether they can switch forms freely and whether they can retain their intelligence after transformation, there is nothing special about werewolf bloodline.
But when it comes to technical reserves, the more the better, you never know when they might come in handy.
"What about you, Lao Cui?"
Fu Qinghai looked at Tristan.
The only chaplain of the chapter replied:
"I have returned to the World of Warcraft universe, Khan. I have some friends and subordinates there, my knight squires, they are all natives, not players, but they have a good relationship with me. If I accumulate enough assimilation points, I want to bring them to the Warhammer 40K universe and transform them into space marines."
"Sure. I agree."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Tristan, the Word Bearers paladin, seems to be quite sentimental and nostalgic.
You know, assimilating intelligent creatures is not cheap. Fu Qinghai spent a lot of money to assimilate Shi Lan.
But speaking of which, Joe Star is bald, Tristan is bald, and No. 56 is also bald... The proportion of bald people in our Iron Pagoda Regiment is quite high.
Fu Qinghai turned the pen in his hand and fell into deep thought.
It is not about thinking about the hair transplantation problem of the chapter, but about the problem of the faith of the chapter: Tristan is undoubtedly the future hermit master of the chapter, the so-called "chief priest". Should we persuade him to give up the Holy Light and convert to the God-Emperor?
Fu Qinghai was a little conflicted.
On the one hand, the Warhammer 40K universe itself does not have the power of Holy Light and must rely on rule infection, so the effect is bound to be greatly reduced.
But on the other hand, the belief in the Divine Emperor is very unstable.
First of all, the Emperor's projection in the warp only reached the peak of the power of faith in the 41K era - the Cursed Legion appeared and disappeared, and living saints were born frequently. Now is the 31K era, the Emperor has just sat on the golden toilet, and the Imperial State Religion has only been established not long ago.
Secondly, even in the 41K period, the belief in the Divine Emperor was still more of a simple belief, rather than a systematic, complete, and fully-skilled cultivation system like the Holy Light.
The Black Templars, an extremely devout religious lunatic group, and the Space Crusaders, never had any golden light on them.
The Pope, cardinals, cardinals and battle sisters of the state religion do not possess any psychic powers.
The living saint is indeed strong.
However, according to the cases in the original book, most of the living saints will explode on the spot after their performance because they cannot withstand the power of the Emperor. There is only one living saint who can be resurrected and perform miracles repeatedly - Saint Celestine, one of the Iron Triangle of the Empire.
Choose Holy Light or Divine Emperor?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Fu Qinghai thought again and again...
Let Tristan make his own decision.
He looked up at the hermit, but Tristan talked about something else. He said,
"This time when I returned to the World of Warcraft universe, I met people from the Zero Realm Guild. I used to work for the Knights of the Silver Hand, which belonged to the Alliance camp, so I also wanted to join the first reincarnation society in World of Warcraft - the Zero Realm Guild, but they rejected me."
Tristan looked quite indignant.
"Now that they see that I have become a Space Marine, they come to win me over and actively invite me to join the Zero Realm Guild. I don't know what they are up to."
"I envy the Space Marines for being strong, what else can that be?"
Lin Yu interrupted.
Tristan shook his head.
"Some races in World of Warcraft have talents that are not much worse than Space Marines, such as Draenei and Trolls."
Fu Qinghai turned to look at the regiment's first captain and said with a smile,
"Don't you understand?"
Qiao Shida said in a muffled voice,
"I've been waiting for you to give me an explanation, Khan."
"It's okay. I'll take you to experience it next time, and then you'll understand."
Fu Qinghai said with a smile.
When Fu Qinghai has accumulated enough assimilation points, he will sooner or later lead his own battle group to sweep across other universes, and then he will directly show Qiao Shida what the "reincarnation world" is.
Tristan's complaint did not spark any discussion, and the regiment meeting moved on to the next topic.
"That clone of Amon, has he woken up?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Wake up, Khan."
Camille, who was in charge of this matter, replied:
"According to my observation, although his body is already a complete Space Marine, his personality is almost blank. He also revealed to me that some vivid memory fragments would flash through his mind from time to time: the experience of learning magic on a beautiful planet called Prospero, and adopting and teaching a giant red baby named Magnus..."
Camille hesitated at this point and asked with a worried look:
"Shall we tell him the truth of the matter, Khan?"
Fu Qinghai thought for a moment and said:
"Lies and deception do not bring loyalty. He is a Space Marine, not a babe in swaddling clothes."
"It doesn't matter. Tell him. Tell him all the facts and the truth. Tell him that he is a clone of Amon, the Librarian of the Thousand Sons of the Rebellion Legion, and the entire history of the Horus Heresy. Let him choose the path he wants to take in the future."
Camille's question reminded Fu Qinghai of the "Imperial Truth", the famous "white lie", and the result was that the Space Marines began to question the Emperor.
"Yes, Khan."
Camille agreed.
Fu Qinghai then asked questions one by one:
"How is the construction of our Chapter Homeworld, Recruiting World, and Kuitun Death World going?"
"Phaeton has dispatched the Goliath-class forging ship and the Imperial transport ship as per your request. The preliminary exploration work has already begun and we can start the construction immediately."
"How is the development of the Phaeton Foundry World? Are the goods for the merchants ready?"
"The production lines for 31 types of Nuka-Cola have been set up. This drink has become popular among the Skitarii of Phaeton and is beginning to spread to ordinary residents."
"Two-headed cows, brain fungi, luminous fungi and other special creatures from the radiation universe have all been cloned successfully. Master Quinto is trying to expand the population. It is expected that within half a year, various strengthening potions and radiation treatment potions can be mass-produced at low cost."
"In addition, Master Quinto wrote to say that the underground environment of Phaeton is very suitable for fungal reproduction, and luminous fungi can also provide some lighting. It is recommended to promote it on a large scale."
"Can."
"All departments of Holy Terra have placed a large number of orders with us. Needle blasting rifles and giant mining excavators are in short supply. The research and development of gravity tools and stasis weapons is progressing rapidly, and it is expected that mass production will be possible within half a year."
"very good."
Phaeton does not have many product series.
But almost everything is an exclusive product.
With Phaeton's current production capacity and output, it is simply unable to meet the massive demand for orders. The Solar Star Region is the core area of the Human Empire, and Phaeton can only prioritize the supply of goods to the Solar Star Region. Orders from the Calixis Star Region, which is adjacent to the Marcus King Star Region, are scheduled for three years later.
Fu Qinghai thought for a moment and said,
"Tell the person in charge of purchasing that if you want to buy the needle blasting rifle and the giant mining excavator, you must buy Nuka-Cola at the same time, otherwise you will be disqualified from trading."
Bundled sales?
Lin Yu was stunned and couldn't help but remind him:
"Khan, all trade with Terra is government procurement."
"What's wrong with government procurement? Every Forge World is a state-owned enterprise under the Mechanicus. They are the other end of the double-headed eagle. So which one is inferior to the other? Don't worry, just make your demands to them boldly!"
"Yes, Khan."
Lin Yu wrote it down.
Unlike feather guns and mining carts, which are both B2B sales and have a certain rigid demand attribute, Nuka-Cola, a food and beverage product that targets a large number of C-end users, cannot be distributed by waiting for wandering merchants to come. Yolanda Atella is just an accident. Normally, few wandering merchants would go to such a remote place as Marquez Wangxing District, so we have to find ways to expand more sales channels.
Bundling Nuka-Cola with a gun minecart seems like a good idea.
As for who opened up the trade channel from Phaeton to Terra?
The order from the Munitions Department was related to Ilia Lavallee.
The orders from other Terra departments are related to the hundreds of cheap brothers and sisters from Lin Yu's original family.
Fu Qinghai then asked:
"The planet-breaking mining ship, hasn't the first mass-produced model been manufactured yet?"
"No, Khan. Phaeton Forge World does not have its own space dock for the time being. We can only perform simple repairs on warships, and we cannot manufacture new spaceships in a short period of time."
"All right."
The space dock can't be built overnight. The Graeae Forge World is nicknamed "Crown of Miracles" because their main forging facilities are located in the space orbit, which looks like a "big crown". You can imagine how big its space dock is, and it can fly away by itself when encountering a strong enemy. The surface of the planet is full of low-end industries.
"Tell Master Bart that I have a set of STCs for jet bikes. Ask him to find a way to mass-produce them."
"Tell Master Quinto that I have a serum formula for curing blood genetic diseases. It has side effects - it causes gastrointestinal degeneration and can only survive by sucking human blood. But it comes with some enhancement effects, such as ultrasonic hearing and gliding flight. Give this formula to him to study and see if it can be applied to Space Marines."
"Yes, Khan."
Lin Yu wrote them down one by one.
All matters in the three main worlds of the Marcus Wang Star Region, the Kuitun Death World and the Phaeton Foundry World, have been dealt with, leaving only the Schwerin Hive World.
"Uh..." Lin Yu considered his words:
"Khan, the planetary governor wrote you a lot of letters, and I think I might not be suitable to read and repeat them."
Originally, Lin Yu thought that Gladys, as the planetary governor, must be writing to Fu Qinghai to discuss official matters, so as an aide-de-camp, he opened the letter in advance to check, but the more he read, the more he felt something was wrong... The words vaguely revealed infatuation, admiration and dependence... As he read, Lin Yu felt that he could not continue reading.
Let the Chapter Master come and see for himself.
"Okay, anything else?"
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and suddenly said:
"Oh yeah, there's one more thing."
"What is it?"
"There is a forge world I have never heard of called 'Karonia'. There is a technical priest on it, whose rank is 'Forge Agent'. He said he wants to meet you, Khan."
"Charonia?"
Fu Qinghai looked around blankly:
"Have we ever had any intersection with this Forging World?"
Everyone shook their heads:
"No, Khan."
...
