Dragon Race: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 346 Lu Mingfei's Genetic Modification Record

The genetic modification record of Lu Mingfei, the leader of the Sword of Revelation Legion and commander of "Zero".

Recorder: Neos.

The main executors of the transformation: Neos and Chief Alchemist Sergeant Norton.

Assisted by: Jörmungandr, Lu Mingze (the remaining part of the Black King)
Location: Second Terra, New Miracle City (When the alien clock is in effect, one Terra hour in the outside world is equal to twenty-three Terra days in the New Miracle City, and all subsequent time units are calculated based on the time in the Miracle City)
Lu Mingfei/Katos Huggins:
The second Terran human, a hybrid cloned from the remaining humanity of the Black King.

(Note) The hybrids are a special class of humans on the second planet Terra, with genes from the dragon race mixed in their bodies. It is precisely because of the changes caused by the mixture of these two different genes that the hybrid humans have outstanding resistance to the corrosion of the warp. Even if their minds and souls are affected by the warp, their bodies can serve as an anchor to strongly resist the mutations brought about by the warp.

The Sword of Revelation Legion will be built with this special kind of human beings as the cornerstone.

It is currently determined that the proportion of dragon blood that hybrid humans have that provides the best corrosion resistance is between 47% and 61%. Hybrids/Deadpools that exceed this threshold will begin to be affected by the warp (pure-blooded dragons have an affinity for warp energy).

The origin of hybrids: first, in ancient times, the dragon clan bestowed power and bloodline on humans as slaves; second, through primitive and bloody methods (which were very cruel) and then selected stable offspring from them.

(Note: Perhaps Jörmungandr and Chu Zihang can be encouraged to conduct experiments to observe the genes of offspring produced by the combination of rare hybrids and dragons - based on the wishes of both parties)
Question: Can the native humans of Second Terra be directly used as soldiers of the Legion?
Denial. The original humans on the Second Terra were only Sigma // Tau-level psionic inert individuals, and their gene sequences were too primitive and fragile. (Note: Before the crazy gene modification in the Dark Technology Age, Terran humans had undergone multiple gene editing optimizations in the first 20,000 years, and the most intuitive manifestation was the immune system that was immune to most viruses). The gap between them was like the gap between humans of that period and late Homo sapiens ten thousand years ago, and they could not directly serve as qualified soldiers for the Legion.

Optimization plan: Through the alchemy technology of the dragon clan, native humans can be transformed into qualified hybrids (the alchemist sergeant has prepared a variety of alchemy potions, but has not yet been tested). In the future, this method may be used to recruit soldiers needed for legion building.

Genetic modification records:
Initial Stage: The Crucible of Faith
This most core special organ is generated by the "gene master" (Note: when the gene master is activated, the internal structure of the affected biological body will be completely visualized and reshapeable) in the center of the upper boundary of the chest cavity, and then further alchemically strengthened.

The core function of this organ is to contain the "power of faith". This special power is not the subspace psychic energy. While avoiding the resistance of the hybrid genes to the subspace, it can also further enhance the immunity of the hybrids to the malice of chaos, just like the evil gods cannot corrupt or pull the demons of other evil gods into their own ranks; (Although this example is very inappropriate, this is the effect of the power of faith)
(Note: The Alchemist said I could use them as my "offspring". I told him that the power of faith is not my gene, and secondly, this example is not much different.)

At the same time, the "power of faith" will exist in the form of an "aura", which will enhance the strength of the warriors to varying degrees when fighting in formation. When fighting in the world with the strongest subspace torrents, the degree of enhancement will be increased to the maximum, and the lifeless in the subspace will feel fear, anxiety or anger - this is how I position this new legion: a special attack against Chaos, like another model of Grey Knights.

(Question: Will the aura be further enhanced when fighting with the devout followers of the state religion? I don’t know, and it’s best not to get too involved.)
How much faith power can the Faith Furnace "store"? There is no detailed unit of measurement yet. (Alchemist: "Piece"? No.)
How to replenish the power of faith? Through the "Great Library" to transport and replenish from another dimension.

(Problem to be solved: Jörmungandr and the newly recovered "Great Library" authority of the Alchemist Sergeant is not enough to make the Great Library a warehouse for storing the power of faith. The authority of the other two Dragon Kings, the White King and even the Black King is also needed)
Except for Lu Mingfei, the "Faith Furnace" of the other warriors will be cultivated through alchemical biotechnology, and the effect is inevitably reduced. I don't have more gene motherboards to equip each warrior with a "native" Faith Furnace. (Note: The existence of the halo can make up for it to a certain extent)
Duration of this stage: 62 days. (Note: When the gene master is activated, the recipient's body rejection reaction has been reduced to the lowest level).

-----

Stage 1: Internal/External Dragon Scale Armor Shell

When a hybrid increases the percentage of dragon blood in its body through bloodline refinement or other means, the energy reaction that appears to be produced by dragon cells is actually a significant mutation towards dragons caused by the power transmitted by the Great Library, also known as Deadpoolization or Dragonization.
This stage has achieved "harmlessness" in Chu Zihang and Finkel. They can remain as sober as usual in this state, and the power of faith can ensure that they will not be affected by the subspace even when the proportion of dragon blood in their bodies exceeds the threshold in this state.

The alchemist sergeant was quite enthusiastic about this stage, hoping that the dragon scale armor shell in the body could be directly used as a permanent power armor. Although this move would allow me to stop considering whether the legion's power armor should go to a forge world to trick them into supplying it, or to build its own production line on Second Terra... I still rejected this proposal -

The Sword of Revelation Legion is going back to the Empire to fight for humanity, but I don't really want them to be treated as aliens and dealt with first.

Therefore, the focus of this stage shifts from "external" to "internal". The energy delivered by the Great Library during bloodline refining will directly act on the body to perform multiple enhancements:

First, it greatly improves the strength of human bones, making the skeleton stronger and larger, the chest cavity highly ossified, and the ribs growing and fused into hard bone plates;
Next is the internal organs. A flexible biological scale structure composed of spirally stacked unidirectional nanofiber sheets will wrap all the internal organs to resist stronger impact and damage.
The third is to stimulate muscle development, increase muscle fiber density, promote muscle group segmentation, and greatly enhance muscle strength and toughness;

Finally, a layer of shell is grown under the skin that is connected to the human nerves, further enhancing the additional protection when not wearing armor.

This is like performing the three-stage surgery of "Bone Strengthener", "Muscle Strengthener" and "Black Shell" at once, which is completed by the Great Library and the Gene Master;

In addition, I still retained the "extracorporeal" part. Once the power armor is destroyed, the Indomitable Warrior can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness - this is harmless, as long as this secret can be kept unknown like the Space Wolves.

This stage takes 295 days. The main time spent is debugging the power armor system that matches the dragon scale armor shell in the body.

By the end, Lu Mingfei's height had increased to 264 centimeters.

(Note: A new discovery about the heterochronic clock. The age of organisms in the domain is also synchronized with the outside world, and is not calculated according to the time in the domain)
-----

The second stage: Yaki's Heart (Lu Mingfei's second heart)

"Yaki" has always been what I value: the super life regeneration ability that comes from the rules and then feeds back to the body's genes. So I customized a second heart for Lu Mingfei called "Yaki Heart".

In addition to the fact that the second heart should provide stronger physiological functions, more reasonable and independent distribution of nutrient vessels, and higher fault tolerance, the most superior feature of this alchemical biological heart is undoubtedly the extraordinary power of "Word Spirit. Yaki" that it inherits, which allows Lu Mingfei to have the ability to truly approach the Primarch - at least in this ability he is very similar to Vulcan.

Although other warriors also have the second heart implantation stage, they do not carry the bloodline and power of "Yaki", but they will more or less inherit some excellent healing abilities through the gene seeds produced by Lu Mingfei himself.

Duration of this stage: 31 days.

(Note: The organs contributed by the Lamenters were only used as samples for cultivating the biological alchemical version of the organs, and were not directly used. I hope Lu Mingfei can forgive me for this "wasteful" behavior.)
-----

Stage 3: The Furnace of Words

The "Spirit of Words" inherited by the hybrids from the dragon clan can play a very good role in battle, refer to Chu Zihang's "Jun Yan" and Finkel's "Bronze Throne"; this organ will amplify the hybrid's own Spirit of Words through the power communicated from the Great Library via the "Furnace of Faith".

(There seems to be no way to remove the "Word Spirit. Forbidden Enlightenment" imposed by the Black King. This Word Spirit restricts the hybrids to only inherit and master one kind of Word Spirit power; it is possible that after collecting all the permissions, the Great Library will be open to freely granting the hybrids the permission of a specific Word Spirit)

In the future, the Legion will be able to form warriors with different duties according to the different types of Word Spirits. In addition to the many Word Spirits fighting on the front battlefield, for example, the "Word Spirit. Linggui" with the ability to heal wounds can serve as a pharmacist, the "Word Spirit. Shengjudgment" that can ensure that ammunition aimed at the target never misses can serve as a special sniper, and the "Word Spirit. Tianyan" with powerful computing power can serve as the Legion's logistics or even a supercomputer.

The words engraved on Lu Mingfei's Word Furnace are temporarily blank ("Yaki" is the word spirit open to him, not the word spirit he controls). He will make plans after killing the Black King and regaining his power.

(Maybe you can ask him to pick a "Taikoo"?)

Duration of this stage: forty-seven days.

-----

Stage 4: Amplification of the Pituitary Gland

The humans here have healthy brains that will not mutate or awaken psychic powers, but they currently utilize no more than 5% of their brains.

The organs at this stage are mainly used to develop and stimulate the neuronal connections between the left and right brains of hybrids, greatly enhancing the warriors' memory, comprehension, and absorption rate of knowledge so as to learn more knowledge. It is a genetic organ that I once designed for use on the Imperial Guards and Primarchs. Now I can only rely on my incomplete memories, the genetic master copy, and the knowledge of the Great Library to slowly recover.

At the same time, this organ can also accelerate the growth and adaptability of other organs and enhance the functions of other organs.

(Note: Belisarius Cawl also used this technique in his Primaris project, but he only restored the right part of the brain, and the design of the left brain was permanently lost.)
Duration of this stage: 324 days.

-----

Stage 5: Blood Regenerator
In the original Astartes genetic engineering stage, after the organ is implanted in the aorta, it will transform the recipient's blood composition, increase blood flow rate and other blood effects, and at the same time reduce the body's rejection reaction when the legionnaires undergo surgery in the future.

The difficulty at this stage is that the blood of the hybrids themselves is mixed with dragon genes. Improper transformation may cause them to lose their resistance to the subspace, and may even cause a strong rejection reaction.

Afterwards, they changed their thinking and changed the function of the blood regenerator to transform the recipient's blood components into an actively activated "bloodline refinement", which improved the combat effectiveness and healing ability by slightly increasing the dragon gene cells in the body.

Duration of this stage: 103 days.

-----

Stage 6: Laraman Sphere
In the original Astartes genetic engineering stage, this organ was implanted deep in the chest cavity and protected by the dragon scale armor in the body. When the generated and stored Laraman cells sensed the injury of the receptor, they would be released into the blood and adhere to the white blood cells and transported to the wound, reaching the wound surface through the mediation of white blood cells.

Once exposed to air or the outside world, Laraman cells will generate new fibrous tissue to replace the injured tissue and accelerate scar formation, thus achieving the same coagulation and hemostasis effects as platelets. This organ can effectively inhibit the large blood loss caused by open wounds in the general sense, but it still requires timely treatment in the case of severe trauma.

(Lu Mingfei has "Yaki" and does not need similar organs, but the soldiers in his legion do need them)
This organ can cooperate with the hematopoietic organ, and can also be benefited by the aura of "Yachi" and the Furnace of Faith inherited by Lu Ming's non-genetic seed.

Duration of this stage: 17 days.

-----

Stage 7: Tonic Ganglion
Same as above. This organ is implanted in the occipital bone and reshapes the recipient's sleep circadian rhythm and resistance to sleep deprivation.

When there is a special situation of lack of sleep, the tonic ganglion will intervene to shut down different brain areas in a certain sequence so that the receptors can remain highly alert even when sleeping - similar to the alternation of left and right brain in reptiles and some marine creatures - although this process cannot replace normal sleep, it can greatly alleviate the receptor's resistance to fatigue and sustained combat capabilities. Staying vigilant during sleep can also increase the chance of survival.

Duration of this phase: 21 days.

(Alchemist: "Dragons are also reptiles. How about we improve it so that the warriors can fight with half their brains and sleep with the other half?" Denied. There are too many unstable factors.)
-----

Stage 8: Pre-stomach
Same as above. This organ will act as a pre-digestive stomach organ to pre-process the food in the recipient's general sense, with independent detection tubes and manifolds that can detect potential toxins and automatically neutralize or isolate them, sending the truly digestible parts to the gastrointestinal digestive system.

This makes the receptor unaffected by conventional poisons or toxins (Note: for Warp poisons, the newly added Furnace of Faith can greatly weaken their power; but resistance to strange toxins such as the Assassin's Temple and the Dark Eldar is still to be tested), while greatly improving the ability to survive in the wild. When the food is exhausted, other biomass can be consumed to obtain nutrition.

Duration of this stage: twenty-three days.

(Alchemist: "Should we add a cooking squad to the organization?" Consider.)
-----

Stage 9: Genetic Detection Neuroscience

Same as above. After implantation, the organ will become part of the brain and central nervous system. It is located inside the spinal cord between the cervical vertebrae and the spine. Four new nerve branches are connected between the spine and the stomach wall of the pre-placed stomach to form a neural signal connection.

This organ is designed to absorb genetic material generated by the tissues in the animal's body that manage memory, experience, and innate abilities. For example, after eating a certain part of an animal, the receptor will automatically absorb part of the animal's instinctive memory, which is of great help to the survival and acquisition of intelligence on the alien planet.

Duration of this stage: thirty-nine days.

-----

Stage 10: Multiple Lungs

Same as above. This organ is not a lung in its physiological appearance. This gray tubular organ plays a role similar to a pre-stomach, processing oxygenated blood and toxic components in it, repairing its own damage through a regenerative system, and continuously converting highly toxic air into breathable gas.

When the poisonous gas is strong, this organ can also protect the lungs by closing the trachea through the associated sphincter and organizing normal breathing; its effective toxin decomposition and neutralization capabilities and regeneration system will not be damaged by breathing poisonous gas, and can enable the recipient to survive and fight in various harsh environments long enough.

Duration of this stage: 27 days.

-----

Stage 11: Transcendental Lobe

Same as above. This organ is located at the base of the brain, has some pineal function and is associated with the optic nerve, which can offset the effects of sudden changes in the light environment. Flash bombs and other means have little effect on the receptors;
At the same time, it regulates the growth pattern of the eye and the photoreceptor cells on the retina, giving the receptors far superior vision to that of ordinary people, allowing them to see objects moving at extremely fast speeds and aim or analyze them, and adapt to rapidly changing perspectives.

Different benefits are gained due to the proportion of dragon bloodline and the Furnace of Words.

Duration of this stage: 31 days.

-----

Stage 12: Lyman's Ear

Same as above. This organ enhances the receptor's hearing and direction perception ability, filters or enhances a certain spectrum of sounds according to the receptor's wishes, and can capture the information intelligence it needs even in an extremely noisy environment;

In addition to enhanced hearing, it also gives the recipient a stronger sense of balance and resistance to vertigo, so that they will not feel discomfort due to extreme loss of sense of direction or high acceleration, which is crucial for adapting to planetary assaults and airdrops in that universe.

Duration of this stage: 30 days.

-----

Stage 13: Pigment Control Organs
Ibid. This organ functions indirectly in a complex manner, detecting the type and intensity of radiation striking the Marine's skin, and inducing biochemical reactions in the pigment to adapt, providing the receptor with good protection from light and limited radioactive radiation (those involving Warp energies are diverted to the Forge of Faith).

This organ can inherit the genetic material of the original gene, resulting in different images using the gene seed. The most intuitive examples are Saint Jarles (whose image becomes handsome) and Vulcan (whose skin becomes dark). This also gives me more ideas. After Lu Mingfei kills the Black King in the future and inherits some of the authority, this part of the power gain can also be shared with all the soldiers in the legion through this organ.

Duration of this stage: thirty-three days.

(Alchemist: "Can you turn Captain Lu's hair white?" Denied.)
-----

Stage 14: Pebble Kidneys
Same as above. This organ efficiently improves and regulates the recipient's circulatory system, coordinates other implanted organs to function effectively, and provides extremely efficient blood filtration and detoxification capabilities as well as emergency detoxification mechanisms.

Able to work with the Second Heart, the Crucible of Faith, to allow the recipient to temporarily survive even toxins that the multiple lungs cannot handle.

Duration of this stage: forty days.

-----

Stage 15: Taste Monitoring Neurons
Same as above. This organ is an extension of the pre-existing stomach and genetically detected nerves, which can help the receptor detect potential toxins from a tiny bite of food and immediately alert it, as well as analyze various chemicals and even help the receptor track prey - Space Wolves warriors usually make maximum use of this organ.

Duration of this stage: 20 days.

-----

Stage 16: Slime

Same as above. Hormonal substances secreted by this organ are absorbed by the colon, ultimately influencing changes in the sweat glands and the modification of sweat - the tear glands are also affected; when activated, the sweat of the receptors becomes a natural cleanser and protective layer covering the skin, providing protection from extreme temperatures and vacuum.

(The activation process has been improved, and the receptor can activate or deactivate the slime device at will)
Duration of this stage: 19 days.

-----

Stage 17: Furnace of Rage (tentative)

Inspired by Kaul's technology, this organ is located between the two hearts and is usually dormant. When a person is seriously injured or in the most critical situation, the organ will automatically activate and burst into violent combat power. The dragon scale armor shell outside the body will also be activated at the same time.

Side Effects: The recipient will die after the Raging Furnace effect ends.

(Note: The prerequisite for this organ implantation surgery is that the preparation for the eighteenth stage has been completed)
Duration of this stage: sixty days.

(Note for the 42nd day: The rage generated will not flow to Khorne)
-----

Stage 18: Soul Cocoon (The Core Secret)
This organ is not in Lu Mingfei's body. It is inspired by the Dragon King's resurrection mechanism.

The Great Library can reshape the life of a dead Dragon King, provided that the Dragon King has made the bone bottle/cocoon/egg necessary for resurrection. By gathering the authority of the Great Library, the top-secret knowledge obtained from it, and the cooperation of the two Dragon Kings, I successfully bound Lu Mingfei's soul to the newly made soul cocoon.

Even if he died in that world, his soul would be escorted back to this world by the power of faith, and reshape into a new body, waiting to return to that world to fight again. (There is no specific conclusion as to why Lu Mingfei's soul went to that world, but his soul did return to this world)
Theoretically, the Great Library can reshape every dragon that makes a bone bottle, but due to the blockade and monopoly of the Dragon King Bone Bottle manufacturing technology, the "Great Library" Mechanicus-style procrastination (referring to the slow reshaping process caused by the incomplete output state), and the huge amount of energy consumed in reshaping a Dragon King-level dragon, this theory has not been realized.

It is not yet clear what the limit of the power that the Great Library can produce after it is fully activated, but it has been assumed that all legionnaires are bound to organs of this stage (except Lu Mingfei, the energy consumed by a normal legionnaire to bind his soul and reshape his body is not high), and cooperate with the seventeenth stage of the Raging Furnace.

(Note: This is also the reason why I don’t consider implanting “Su An’s meninges”. If I can be resurrected directly, there is no need to fake death.)
Duration of this stage: 391 days.

(Note for the 111th day: After the Sword of Revelation Legion popularizes this stage of organs, it is highly likely that there will be no units like the Dreadnought. However, you can refer to the Iron Hands, where the Dreadnought does not necessarily require a human to control it.)
(Note for the 200th day: The alchemist said that he realized belatedly that the Sword of Revelation Legion that could be resurrected was like my own "demon" in a sense. I just calmly told him that your imagination is too rich.)
-----

Stage 19: Gene Seed Storage Gland

The importance of this organ is only reflected in Lu Mingfei. As the leader of the legion, the gene seeds he grows, in addition to the growth hormones and secretions of other implanted organs, inherit the three strengthening characteristics of "Yaki", "Source of the Furnace of Faith" and "Black King's Authority (using Soul Cocoon)" for other warriors.

It seems that the warriors of the Sword of Revelation Legion can indeed call Lu Mingfei "father" just like they call their primarch.

Of the two gene seeds that were stored and generated by the gene storage glands placed by warriors other than Lu Mingfei, one will be taken out and used as the binding medium for the soul cocoon, and the other seed sealed in the gene storage gland will burn and self-destruct as the "fuel" of the furnace after the rage furnace is activated - I can't let these special gene seeds fall into anyone's hands.

(Gene seed tithe? Robert can find a way to grant the Legion a special tax exemption.)
Duration of this stage: 281 days.

-----

After a two-hundred-day observation period without any unusual discomfort, the genetic modification surgery based on Lu Mingfei as the model for the legion was completed. The gene motherboard had lost its function and turned into a piece of waste.

Should I consider Lu Mingfei as my twenty-first offspring?

Never mind, this kind of question is not important, he is a good boy.

……

Alchemist's New Concept: Beyond the Legion

It is known that the clones of Lu Mingze/Lu Mingfei are soulless zombies. Perhaps they can be mass-produced to serve as some kind of container. After all, there is no shortage of loyal and strong souls around "me". After these souls have new bodies, they can unconditionally enter the real world to fight, giving the chaotic enemies a huge surprise.

I thought of Ferrus and Saint Jarles... Let me think about it again. The unstable factors in this concept will only become more numerous and uncontrollable.

Part of the original description of the Astartes surgery process comes from the B station column up host: Zahariel Big Brother.
