Chapter 217: Complete Primaris Warrior! The First Astartes V!

After a while, Asako Mori, Cage and others began to see the outline of the space elevator, which was becoming clearer and clearer.

The various building complexes outside the carriage were getting closer and closer to them, and the train was about to arrive at the station.

Immediately, everyone stood up from their seats, picked up their own belongings, and stood in front of the cabin door, waiting patiently.

At this time, the train speed has stabilized at 70 kilometers per hour, and while it is still decelerating, the carriage remains stable.

Through the visual window of the cabin door, the four of them saw a brand new large city at the same time - Narowa!

In this brand new and dazzling steel jungle, there are all kinds of large-scale facilities with complete functions and perfection.

As a core city marked as a priority by global giants, Nairobi not only has a complete industrial zone, but also has a large number of troops stationed here.

The fully armed AST power armor team, the Astartes reserve regiment, as well as elite soldiers from Arasaka and the military technology department.

They were patrolling all over Nairobi, with the eye-catching logos of the giant global companies printed on their armbands and military uniforms.

Obviously, as an important asset of a global giant, the security of Nairobi must be guaranteed, and there are more giant cities like this.

In the past two years or so, the changes that the global giant has brought to the Earth in "Edge of Tomorrow" are like pressing the accelerator.

The construction development and technological progress in the whole world have increased significantly. For example, Nairobi has transformed from a semi-urban and semi-backward rural state into a giant city!

It was as if two hundred years had passed.

It is precisely because of the tremendous changes brought about by the global giant enterprises, which have effectively improved the quality of life of local residents and accelerated local development, that they have received so much support.

As for the capital consortiums that were against the giant companies, they had long been attacked by Li Ang's plain "physical business war" and buried in the long river of history.

After all, rules are meant to be broken and reshaped by the party that controls absolute power.

"Everyone, I wish us a pleasant journey."

With those words in hand, the four of them headed towards the space elevator together, ready to enjoy this rare holiday moment.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in Paris, Leon and his senior executives were watching a practical test.

……

"Edge of Tomorrow" Earth, Paris City!

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on this elegant city. After more than a year of development, Paris has become a secret production base of giant companies.

It’s just that those large-scale production areas are not built directly on the surface, but built underground.

At this moment, under the city of Paris, there is an extremely spacious underground city and a complete production chain of various devices.

In addition to producing some basic biological weapons, clones and replicants, there are also other individual equipment and standard weapons, armor and aerial vehicles.

Countless AI machines and 3D printing lathes are working non-stop here, and technical staff control the details and supervise the AI ​​programs.

After production and packaging are completed, clones, replicas, weapons and equipment, and various vehicles will be sent to front-line bases around the world through underground transportation networks.

Finally, it will be distributed by various departments of the company and delivered to various armed units.

There are many production bases like this, not just this one in Paris. Even most of the products of Ideal City are put here.

Since we are actively preparing for war, the transportation of basic supplies is naturally indispensable.

As for the most core area of ​​the dungeon, it is used for the scientific research department and the biotechnology department, as well as for testing various human and weapons experiments.

At this moment, the Universal Corporation has built a simulated town in this underground city for training Astartes warriors.

The Astartes warriors who came here to participate in the training were all low-level "newbies". They had undergone at most three transformation surgeries, which meant that their bodies were just larger.

In order to actively prepare for war and deal with the invasion of the Reaper civilization, Leon specifically ordered the Market Development Department to expand the number of places for recruiting Astartes warriors.

However, even though the enrollment is expanded, the quality of training and personnel quality must still be guaranteed.

Therefore, there will be training camps, transformation laboratories, and training grounds for Astartes warriors near almost every industrial production area.

At this moment, this group of new warriors who have just joined the Iron Hands Reserve Regiment are undergoing actual combat training with the genetic monsters bred by the Biotechnology Department.

During the training process, they will hone their personal combat skills and team coordination capabilities.

Da da da! !

boom--!
Intensive gunfire and the roar of hand cannons sounded alternately.

In this large and spacious town, a fierce training battle was taking place.

These Astartes rookies not only have to face various brutal monsters, but also clones who also attack them with guns.

And a few Netherworld soldiers who sneaked up on them from behind!
These enemy combat units, composed of genetic monsters, clones, and ghost soldiers, numbered as many as 500 people, and they were all gathered in the southern block of the town.

In order to simulate the real combat environment as closely as possible, these clones are also equipped with fully protective mechanical exoskeletons and various individual weapons.

Under the control of the combat chips, they were fearless and launched a death charge towards the Astartes warriors.

"This group of new rookies is pretty good. They work together very well. One hundred people are facing so many enemies at the same time, but they haven't suffered any loss at all."

Morgan Blackhand on the side smiled and spoke, praising the warriors below.

But Leon shook his head. In his opinion, the advancement and defense of this group of enemy combat units seemed a bit disorganized.

They posed little threat to these Astartes warriors and were simply used as cannon fodder!

"Next time you train, increase the intensity. If you only train with this intensity, it won't have much of an effect."

Leon gave instructions to Morgan beside him.

This is not because he is cruel and ruthless, but because the Astartes warriors represent the strongest branch of the universe's giant corporation.

Without going through the harsh trials of life and death, how can we become powerful and victorious in future civilization conquests?

"Yes!"

Morgan Blackhand restrained his smile and responded in a solemn tone. He did not dare to continue praising the new recruits when Leon expressed his dissatisfaction.

Then, Leon turned his attention to the other end of the simulated battlefield, to the enemy units composed of genetic monsters and clones.

These genetic monsters bred by the Biotechnology Department include the Platypus from Pandora, the small Kaiju from the Pioneer civilization, and other ferocious beasts mixed with alien genes.

But those monsters were, after all, "beasts" with little intelligence, and they were no match for the well-coordinated and well-equipped Astartes warriors.

Even a bunch of new recruits can use intensive firepower to smash all these monsters into minced meat and residue.

At first glance, Li Ang thought these soldiers were here to help the Biotechnology Department clean up waste from biological experiments.

This was not the result he wanted to see.

At this time, at the signal of Morgan Blackhand, the simulated battle that was supposed to have ended was suddenly added with another round of testing.

A group of biochemical tyrants, under the control of polymer devices, launched a surprise attack on the Astartes warriors in front of them.

There are 150 tyrants, each 2.7 meters tall and moving very fast. They will seek cover to hide.

And under the control of the operator, it will make a series of counterattacks.

Soon, the temporary additional test resulted in some injuries among the soldiers. Fortunately, the final result ended with the soldiers' victory.

"One was seriously injured, three were slightly injured, and the rest were not seriously injured. The test result score is 1 points, which is excellent."

"We are now starting to clear the area and arrange for the next batch of testing units to come over. All unnecessary personnel please leave."

After the battle test was over, the executives of the giant companies who were watching the assessment finally perked up a bit.

They came all the way here not to watch these rookies play boring shooting games, but to witness a human miracle!

In other words, it is the glorious moment of the Iron Hands Astartes Chapter!

Soon, with the help of the on-site staff, all the dead monsters and clones in the simulated town were quickly moved away.

After a simple on-site cleaning and some disinfection and sterilization, a new batch of enemy units were ready.

"Boss, can we start now?"

After seeing that the laboratory on site had been almost processed and a new batch of testing units had arrived, Morgan Blackhand looked at Leon and asked.

"Well, let V come out."

Li Ang nodded slightly, allowing Morgan to begin the next test.

Yes, this time Li Ang brought many executives from the giant company here not to observe the training of the new recruits.

But witness the power of the Astartes "Primaris"!

It turned out that not long ago, Li Ang had maxed out his "Gene Seed" technology point level.

As the commander of the Iron Hands Chapter, V can naturally undergo the next step of organ transformation surgery.

Finally, witnessed by many executives of giant global companies, V completed his 22nd organ transformation in the transformation room - the Furnace of Belisarius!
At this moment, this special organ is already in V's chest and begins to beat, providing him with more body functions.

The so-called Belisarius Furnace can help V's body automatically secrete a large amount of combat response hormone mixture when he suffers severe and destructive trauma.

This can help V quickly repair wound tissue, bones, and muscles and restore combat effectiveness.

It can be said that with this organ, it is like placing a resurrection armor in V's body!

For V personally, as a representative of the market development department of a global giant and the commander of the Iron Hands Chapter, he was the first to complete all the transformation operations.

Becoming the first Astartes warrior with the "Primaris" of the Giant Enterprise! But for the Universal Giant Enterprise, this not only means the addition of a powerful human body close to a demigod.

It also means that an iconic warrior has appeared in the Iron Hands Chapter. V will serve as the golden signboard of the giant enterprise to attract more human warriors to join the universal giant enterprise!
This is the political significance of V.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, V came to this simulated battlefield alone.

The next test he will face is to face the attack of a thousand enemy combat units alone, and he can only carry the amount of guns and ammunition used in normal combat operations.

Once the ammunition is exhausted, you can only resort to hand-to-hand combat to fight these monsters, clones, and Netherworld soldiers.

"V, are you ready?"

As V's direct superior, Li Ang expressed his concern about V's condition before the test officially began.

[Well, let’s get started! ]

"it is good."

Following Leon's nod, Morgan immediately gave instructions to the operator below.

In an instant, dense genetic monsters and clone soldiers, as well as the Netherworld soldiers lurking in the dark, instantly pounced towards V.

At this moment, V could only see densely packed heat points on the screen of his power armor helmet, with enemies rushing towards him from all directions.

"Come on, bastards!"

Bang——! !

Before a few of the genetic monsters could pounce on V, a unique large-caliber gunfire sounded. It was V's Frenzy Bomb Pistol.

The exploding bullets blew the nearest monsters into pieces. Then the three-meter-tall V transformed into an invincible "tin can" and rushed forward to fight with the enemy.

Bang!Bang!
Amid the distinctive gunshots of the Frenzy Bomb Pistol, the streets that had just been cleaned up were now covered in blood and flesh fragments.

Every time a gunshot was heard, the monster would explode in response, with blood and flying flesh gushing out from the inside out, and a fishy smell filled the air.

Obviously, this is because the bullets of the explosive pistol have secondary explosions, which causes such exaggerated destructive power.

And V never thought from beginning to end that he needed to rationally plan the distribution of ammunition to cause as much effective damage as possible.

Like Leon who was watching this combat test, he wanted to see what his physical limits could reach.

Faced with V's crazy outpouring of ammunition, everyone on the stage frowned, as if questioning V's decision to shoot indiscriminately and not save bullets.

Only a few people who know V well know that he did this on purpose!
At this moment, facing the horrific damage caused by the explosive weapons in V's hands, these monsters and clones controlled by the chip program still attacked V desperately.

But what awaited them was to be beaten to pieces by V one by one, turning into drifting blood mist, and the MarkX power armor on V's body was soon dyed blood red.

After using up most of the bullets in his weapons, V rushed directly into the enemy camp and fought these monsters in close combat with his bare hands.

However, he still had a plasma discharge gun on him that he had not used. This was a gun that V had specifically reserved for dealing with the Netherworld soldiers, and it had to be used at the critical moment.

After all, his fists have no effect on the Netherworld.

When seeing V rushing into the monster circle and killing indiscriminately, the testers from various departments on the stage were also quickly recording data and making various analysis reports.

Because this combat test is also for them to test their own products, V's status data during combat is very useful to them.

Soon, as time passed, V's power armor began to show more damage, and the monsters and clones at the scene also suffered heavy casualties.

Covered with scars, multiple fractures, and even shattered organs, V simply took off the troublesome power armor and prepared to fight the last hundred or so enemies in his physical form.

"Is this guy...crazy?!"

The executives on the stage couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

But Leon understood the reason behind V's action. He was planning to test the effect of "The Furnace of Belisarius"!

As expected, at the last moment of the battle, V, who was already seriously injured, waded through the sea of ​​blood and attacked the remaining enemies with his body broken in many places.

Strictly speaking, V's body is made of half flesh and blood and half generative metal.

The substances in the flesh and blood can generate new metals, and V can replenish his own flesh and blood tissue by devouring the flesh and blood of his enemies.

Therefore, in the eyes of many executives of giant companies, V was almost eating the clones and monsters alive while using iron fists and iron elbows to smash the heads of his enemies.

"V is completely crazy... He used the leg bones of the Kaiju as weapons, and the acid in the stomach of the Kaiju as biological weapons."

"How could he have thought of that...!"

Jack, Reed and others who were watching this battle test couldn't help but shake their heads in amazement.

They haven’t seen such a terrifying V for a long time. He is truly worthy of being the Chapter Master of the Iron Hands. I’m afraid he is already the ceiling among human warriors!
Without the protection of power armor and the lethality of artillery weapons, V completely transformed himself into a deadly weapon, using every available part of his body to inflict powerful damage to the enemy.

After killing the Netherworld soldiers with a plasma discharge gun, V simply spread his arms and swung them around, smashing any monsters in front of him with his iron fists.

Before long, the thousand-man combat unit consisting of genetic monsters, clones, tyrants, and Netherworld soldiers were all killed.

All that was left was blood and dead bodies on the ground.

V, who was covered in wounds, forced himself to hold up his exhausted body, feeling the "Belisarius Furnace" in his body working like crazy, repairing his wounds.

At the same time, applause broke out in the observation room above the town. Such a horrifying test of the limits of human beings has refreshed everyone's cognition!
At the end of this day, V will surely become a legendary warrior of the world's giant company.

The various groups of testers on site were also collecting and organizing data, preparing to report to Li Ang.

"This combat test has ended!"

"All one thousand test units have died. The duration was 28 minutes and 17 seconds. Subject V suffered varying degrees of injuries all over his body."

"But the overall situation is still able to be deployed in new battles. It is estimated that V's single-soldier combat limit can reach 5,000 combat units."

"More accurate and specific data statistics and analysis reports need to be completed in 10 minutes and will be uploaded to the headquarters database at that time."

"..."

The staff sitting in front of the control panel were reporting information to the executives of the giant companies and Li Ang present in an orderly manner.

The head of the Biotechnology Department and the doctors from the Transformation Department discussed with each other with looks of shock and horror on their faces.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really wouldn't have believed that the limits of human beings could actually reach this level.

What’s even more terrifying is that V seems to have enough energy to conduct at least two rounds of combat tests. These combat units don’t seem to have pushed V to his full limit!
Morgan Blackhand, who was standing by the observation window, had V taken away to heal his wounds. He then turned to look at his boss, Leon, and said excitedly:

"Boss, one against a thousand enemy units, this killing intensity and fierce fighting ability are really too exaggerated. It seems that our company's 'gene seed' has been fully developed!"

As one of the senior executives of a giant corporation, Morgan Blackhand naturally knew about the existence of gene seeds.

But what he didn't know was that this thing had to rely on Leon's upgrades and points to slowly unlock so many functions.

Ever since Li Ang extracted the gene seed technology point more than 20 years ago, he relied on accumulating corporate currency to upgrade and gradually unlocked all the functions of the gene seed.

Today, the Universal Corporation has the technology to create Primaris Astartes warriors and perform 22 full organ transformations!
V's astonishing combat performance this time has proven the powerful effect and perfect applicability of the gene seed.

Leon nodded thoughtfully. The perfect version of the gene seed could greatly reduce the soldier's rejection reaction and integrate the soldier's body transformation as much as possible.

But this does not mean that everyone can undergo the organ transformation of an Astartes warrior.

Because the results show that ordinary people with poor physical fitness will experience obvious collapse, necrosis, or even death after undergoing transformation.

So after many experiments and tests by the Biotechnology Department and the Transformation Department, they found that in order to mass-produce warriors of V's level.

Either rely on careful selection, then meticulous training, and daily maintenance and inspection.

Or they could create a dedicated cultivation chamber and use cloning technology to produce this high-strength super Astartes warrior.

But the resources consumed in cultivating each clone alone are almost as much as the resources needed for ten Vs in a year.

Therefore, the most cost-effective approach is to train as many as possible and select some elite humans as Astartes warriors.

After all, cloned warriors need polymer devices to be controlled, and their flexibility is far less than that of pure humans.

"Make a special column of the test results and publish it on various Earths. Then instruct the Reconstruction Department to expand the operating rooms in each war zone."

Leon knew very well what the Primaris warriors meant to the Astartes warriors of the Iron Hands. This was a perfect start.

With V, the first Primaris warrior, more Primaris will appear in the future.

It won’t be long before a large group of elite troops composed entirely of original cast members will emerge to carry out more difficult combat missions!

Therefore, the results of today's operational tests are as significant to the world's giant companies as the establishment of new giant buildings.

"Yes!"

Morgan nodded solemnly in response.

A month later.

There is less than a year left until the arrival of the Reaper civilization.

Under Li Ang's supervision, the Market Development Department has accelerated the expansion of the troops and the construction progress of various departments.

Since we have to fight against this group of alien civilizations, we certainly cannot fight on Earth.

After all, there are too many basic buildings and factory areas here, and if they are destroyed, these resources will be wasted.

Therefore, Leon decided to deploy the first line of defense on the moon, first building a space city there and establishing various front-line bases.

If you can wipe out the enemies at your doorstep, don't let the alien heretics in and dirty your house!
