Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 21 Transformation (2)

Calvin just kept his original posture, quietly watching the champion veteran leave.The ground under the feet is still warm after being baptized by heavy artillery. In the distant night sky, the landing modules dotted like meteors across the atmosphere on the horizon, leaving brilliant trails.

The champion Calvin from Ultramar waited for Calvin's arrival at the last moment of his life.Then he gladly chose to give up the honor of engraving his name at the foot of Macragge's majestic colossus after his death, and also gave up his life's work.From then on, no one except Calvin knew of his bravery and combat skills, loyalty and dedication.

But as the champion said before, he did not leave, but went to face new battles with Calvin.His spirit and will will be with Calvin, and his memory will be with Calvin in future battles to drink the blood of the enemy with the edge of the sword.All of this is for the future of mankind, to realize the vision of the Lord of the Earth.

Perhaps, he will no longer have the opportunity to stand under the command of the great Primarch and fight side by side with those equally passionate brothers, but in the longer time, they will eventually meet again at the end.

Calvin calmed down and stood up, looking in the direction of Terra with a smile, and walked to the next battlefield.

Three days passed in a flash.in the real world.Calvin's physiological indicators printed out long strips of paper on the medical monitor.Led by the chief pharmacist, the surgery team carefully read the data on the note while observing Calvin's surface wound healing through the life support cabin.

"Is it my illusion? This guy seems to have grown taller again." One of the pharmacists said.

"No, this guy has indeed grown taller. His height has exceeded 7 feet, and his height has increased by more than 5 centimeters in three days, and his bone density is still increasing." The pharmacist who was guarding the monitor said without raising his head.

"But I remember that the normal rapid development period starts after the second stage, when the large-scale transplantation is completed?" It was still the pharmacist next to the life support cabin, and he looked at the chief pharmacist with some uncertainty.

"Normal, after all, you haven't seen a few freaks whose pre-transformation syndrome can be close to 60% of the regular Astartes, have you?" The chief pharmacist put down his holding arm.Turning back to the others, he said:

"There is no abnormality in the data, and the basic data is up to standard. Preparations for the second stage of transformation."

The second stage, or the reconstruction operation starting from stage 2, will comprehensively and at one time transplant a total of 2 organs from stage 18 to stage 18 into the target body (stage 4 has two organs).Except for the black carapace, the delicate hormonal balance between the newly transplanted, fragile and new organs is the most difficult point of the whole operation.

Except for Terra Throne Court and Mars, only the warband apothecary brothers who have received nearly a hundred years of professional training have the relevant knowledge.

And only they know how to treat these sacred and fragile gene-seeds.Therefore, the best of them are also entrusted with the duty of recovering the sacred gene-seeds of the sacrificed brothers on the fierce battlefield.

In a sense, what the pharmacist brothers undertake is the continuation of the responsibility of the entire battle group.

It is also for this reason that pharmacist brothers who are active on the battlefield enjoy more careful protection than anyone else.To protect the pharmacist brothers is to protect the future of the warband.

The operation had already begun, and Calvin, who was lying on the operating table, was cut into two huge open incisions by the entire operation team at the same time.

Because the parts involved in this transplant were all over Calvin's chest, abdomen and cranium.

Therefore, in order to gain valuable operation time, the pharmacist brothers made a 55 cm incision at one time from Calvin's collarbone to the upper lower abdomen. Organ implantation.

At the same time, two additional pharmacist brothers had to open a gap in Calvin's skull to transplant the remaining five organs.

The names and locations of specific organs are as follows:
Stage 2, Bone Strengthening Organ, Tubular, Transplantation Site Spinal Cord.The role is to strengthen bone strength and optimize bone shape.Through the hormones secreted by this organ, the transformed space warriors can absorb ceramic compounds to strengthen bone strength.During the two-year follow-up development cycle, the cartilaginous properties of the ribs are ossified, and the shape of the ribs is adjusted to be wide and long willow-shaped overlapping each other, so as to enhance the strength of the chest cavity and better protect the organs therein.

3. Muscle-strengthening organs, located in the chest cavity, as the name suggests, function to strengthen muscle strength.

4-1. Blood modification, a random aorta in the thoracic cavity is used to increase the content of blood nutrients (not just oxygen) and improve circulation efficiency.

4-2. Rebuild the blood organs, with the same position as above, to monitor and balance the organ functions in stages 2 and 3, and to further strengthen the blood-carrying ability.

5. Lariman's organ, located in the thoracic cavity, is also known as the rapid healing organ, which can quickly stop bleeding and heal wounds by attaching the cells to the white blood cells.

6. The ganglion, located on the inner side of the occipital bone at the back of the head, is used to adjust the biological rhythm of the space warriors, so that the space warriors can obtain the function of taking turns to rest in different areas of the left and right brains similar to dolphins.

7. Preset stomach, located near the original stomach, is used to filter and store toxic components in food, and secrete corresponding hormones according to the internal detection nerve feedback to neutralize the toxicity.

8. The gene detection nerve is located in the posterior spine of the esophagus and is connected with the esophagus.The function is to obtain related memories after eating a specific target.

9. Multiple lungs, location, near the original lungs.The role is to filter and isolate toxic gases.

10. Vision control organ, located at the back of the eyeball, improves vision in dim conditions and enhances dynamic vision to a certain extent.

11. Lyman's ear, position, ear (replacing the original ear), which is used to enhance hearing and selectively filter noise.

12. Sus-an's meninges, located in the cerebral cortex, are used to obtain a dormant state of severe injury and suspended animation after undergoing correct chemical substance stimulation and corresponding training.The longest known record of being awakened from suspended animation is 567 years, and this record comes from the Dark Angels Chapter.

13. Pigment control balls, located subcutaneously, function to make compensatory growth of cosmic high-energy rays in the space environment by secreting hormones, so that the skin color of the space warriors will produce corresponding changes.

14. The pebble kidney, located near the original kidney, strengthens the original blood filtration and detoxification functions of the kidney.

15. Taste detection nerve, located at the back of the mouth, distinguishes specific chemical components through chewing, and strengthens the detection ability of space fighters.

16. Sweat gland improvement organ, located in the lower part of the intestinal tissue, causes changes in sweat gland secretions through specific hormones that can be absorbed by the intestinal tissue.Provides some protection against extreme environments and even vacuum environments. (Also a natural surface cleanser for Space Marines)

17. Betcher's organ, located inside the mouth, can secrete corrosive liquid.

18. Gene storage glands (two), located in the neck and deep in the chest cavity, have different maturity periods, 5 years and 10 years respectively, and function to grow new gene seeds after absorbing hormones secreted by all the above organs.It is the only means for the continuation of the warband, and it is also the source of the "blood tax" imposed by the Terra Council on the warband.

This is a lengthy operation, with a period of up to 160 hours. Except for the transformed space warrior itself, it is difficult for mortals to withstand such a long and high-intensity work at one time, and maintain concentration and stability throughout the process.

Calvin performed particularly well in this operation, and his original physical condition provided enough margin for the entire transplant operation.

Although it is a pity that he was unable to express his opinion on the operation throughout the whole process.

However, as a source of excellent surgical materials and pleasant surgical experience, the chief pharmacist could not bear the joy in his heart after the successful completion of the operation, and gently patted Calvin on the head as a sign of encouragement, and welcomed him to come often in the future.

It is a pity that he failed to accept this kindness.Calvin, at this moment, is busy watching a good action movie (not the kind you think).

　Water, sorry.
