Chapter 164 Ron: I Bet Guilliman Will Faint in the Toilet

Ron's answer is:

No.

This is a choice based on the population of Ers.

The characteristics of the little sun do not allow him to conduct such a cruel screening behavior.

Besides, the screening process of many battle groups in the empire is not very reasonable.

The process of selecting newcomers can be summarized as follows:

Use a bunch of unnecessary and extremely high mortality abuse to torture the candidates half to death, and then select the surviving individuals for transformation.

The Dark Angels will select strong teenagers from thousands of dangerous primitive worlds, and these people will be evaluated through various strength, agility and endurance competitions.

Those who fail to pass the trial at this stage due to physiological discomfort or weak will will be euthanized.

Then perform implantation surgery without anesthesia on an open-air operating table on the top of the mountain, and those who survive can join the battle group.

The Blood Angels will select thousands of candidates from the mother planet Baal and hold violent game competitions on Baal, but only fifty winners can be selected.

Then they are taken to the monastery to participate in more tests, and then have to lie in the coffin for a year.

The Wolf Priests of the Space Wolves will select candidates from primitive tribes that frequently go to war.

They will be taken back to the Fang Castle for training.

The recruits need to drink the liquid with the Wolf Spiral, and then be thrown into the ice and snow thousands of miles away at a temperature of dozens of degrees below zero in extreme pain.

Only those who can walk back can become rookies, and they will be attacked by werewolves in the process.

In short, the main theme is cruelty, and a lot of people die at once.

The only normal ones are the blue canned Ultramarines.

They recruit candidates from the population of the nine worlds of Ultramar.

Then those people are sent to military camps in various parts of Ultramar for high-intensity military training.

Some candidates will be sent to the tundra world to survive in the wilderness, some need to go to the agricultural world to pick the fruits of semi-activated vines, or be thrown into the mining world to dig huge amounts of ore.

Although these trials are cruel, they are not directly fatal.

They are relatively humane.

So the number of Ultramarines is also the largest.

Another data.

Today, the Empire has millions of planets and countless civilized worlds, but the number of Space Marines in each regiment is so scarce.

But during the Great Crusade, the Emperor, relying on the population of Holy Terra and the Moon alone, produced 20 legions based on the genes of 20 Primarchs.

Before that, he also produced 20 Thunder Warrior Legions and a full set of 10,000 Guards in his Himalayan nest...

Just ask you if it's scary.

Ron guessed that such a terrifying speed and number of troops were not only due to the Emperor's amazing skills.

Another reason is that he didn't do so many cumbersome and deadly routines.

I guess he is like this:

This guy looks very healthy and determined, let's see if he can be transformed...

So in theory, the regiment can produce Space Marines.

In Ron's opinion, without transformation and the blessing of special external forces, the difference between people is really not that big.

No matter how powerful a bicycle is, it is still a bicycle.

Could it be that in the Gene Warrior Academy, those who have been receiving various nutritional potions since childhood

Young men who have been tempered, learned various weapon combat skills, and participated in various practical trainings with people and monsters.

Are they not as good as those malnourished teenagers in Baal who need to use a few pieces of broken wood and canvas to glide on the wind for ten hours before they can go for genetic testing?

Even if they are not as good, these gaps will be narrowed after genetic engineering transformation.

Even if the gap is not narrowed, it can be made up by the number of people. Two can always beat one, right?

Otherwise, come with three or four.

The main point is that there are more people!

In Ron's expectation, only the top 5% of the 200,000 warrior students in the Gene Warrior Academy will have the opportunity to become space warriors.

Those who are eliminated will become storm troopers.

Reasonable use of resources.

Of course, the number of people in the current galactic war groups is sparse, in addition to the strict selection system for new recruits.

More importantly, the restrictions of the war group system.

Here we have to mention our Ultramarines Primarch and farming strategist Robert Guilliman.

After the great purge at the beginning of the 31st millennium, he wrote the famous "Astartes Codex" with his amazing wisdom.

Its content covers military organization, strategy and tactics.

It provides for the moral behavior, tactical order and tactical thinking of Space Marines.

Of course, the main purpose of the Codex Astartes is to limit the size of the legion to prevent another Horus Heresy.

According to the decree in the Codex Astartes.

The existing Space Marine legions of the Empire must be broken up and reorganized into smaller 1,000 combat organizations, called chapters.

And the number of Space Marines in each chapter must be limited to 1,000.

In this way, the huge Space Marine legions are divided into many small chapter organizations.

And the chapters must obey, otherwise they will be regarded as traitors.

In the end, those traitor legions have retreated into the Eye of Terror, and the remaining loyalist Space Marine legions obeyed the Codex Astartes.

Consider it the only holy book of Space Marines.

Ten thousand years have passed, and it is now the 41st millennium of the Empire.

Space Marine Chapters still use this codex.

This holy scripture has been used for nearly ten thousand years without any revisions and repairs, and has become extremely old and rigid.

It can be said that it is completely inconsistent with the current situation of the galaxy.

It was even nicknamed toilet paper.

Because the existing number of Space Marines simply cannot resist the increasing number of enemies from inside and outside the galaxy.

Even if the chapters want to expand the number of Space Marines, they can only sneak in non-staff personnel under various names.

But they are actually Space Marines.

But adding people in such a sneaky way still doesn't solve the problem.

Guilliman himself probably did not expect that the code he compiled has been running for thousands of years without any changes.

What he was thinking was probably:

“In order to prevent large-scale interstellar wars and adapt to the fragmented and miniaturized environment of the empire’s enemies.

The huge and bloated army establishment must be broken up.

This is a trial version, and we will continue to improve it based on the actual situation..."

It's a pity that before he could perfect or explain it, he was beaten to death by the demon primarch Fulgrim.

I have been lying here for thousands of years, and I still haven't woken up.

Ron guessed that when Guilliman wakes up, he will probably ask about the Holy Code:

"What edition of the holy book has it been changed to now? Are you still using the edition I just published?

No way? "

Then I fainted in the toilet holding the toilet paper I had written on.

Of course, that was just Ron's imagination.

But what is certain is that when Guilliman wakes up, he will improve the contents of the Holy Code.

Those Space Marine Chapters will be expanded accordingly to cope with the new situation.

Therefore, Ron does not intend to follow the Holy Code and limit the number of Space Marines to 1,000.

It’s about adding as many people as possible, the more the better.

Explode troops and attack with endless legion!

In addition to the restrictions of the Codex, there are more important reasons for the scarcity of Space Marines.

That's the amount of gene seed.

Gene seeds are the most important genetic material for manufacturing space warriors, and they are also a precious resource that each chapter relies on for its survival.

Many Chapters now do not have enough gene-seed.

There are many reasons for not having enough:

For example, the empire charges a high percentage of tithe tax on gene seeds.

The battle was too fierce and the number of troops was reduced too quickly, making it impossible to recover the gene seeds in the warriors' bodies.

The crude and crude transformation process resulted in a high mortality rate for newcomers and resulted in waste.

Gene defects lead to serious degradation of gene seeds.

Chaos energy causes gene seeds to mutate and so on.

These circumstances have led to a shortage of gene seeds, and have even made it impossible to maintain the flow of genes in the war group stably and reliably.

This makes it difficult for the war group to expand its numbers.

The Chapters had no choice but to obtain gene-seed in various ways.

Including but not limited to borrowing previously paid seed taxes from the empire, trading on the black market, etc.

Moreover, the gene seeds may be plundered by Chaos warbands at any time.

Those Chaos Space Marines are even more lacking in gene-seed.

These circumstances also make gene seeds even more precious.

Nowadays, within the empire, gene seeds are becoming increasingly scarce, and it is almost difficult to obtain those precious gene seeds.

But if the gene seeds cannot be obtained, Ron's formation of the war group will be just a fantasy.

Fortunately, he inherited the Grant family's legacy and received a small batch of gene seeds.

After inspecting the situation of the warrior students, Ron left Zhongsi Academy.

After that, he transferred to the Institute of Biogenetic Engineering in Moss:

"It's time to take a look at those precious gene seeds..."
