Chapter 166: 'Not Difficult' Surgery
Although he intended to perform a thorough autopsy on all seven Weepers, under the "persuasion" of Chen Xi and others, Cawl only conducted non-life-threatening examinations on the seven Astartes who had undergone the Primaris transformation surgery.

"It's unbelievable that the transformation result is so stable!" Cawl exclaimed in amazement. He was amazed at how well the seven Weepers could adapt to the Primaris transformation surgery, and also at how smoothly the surgery went.

Due to the lack of sufficient experimental samples, even Belisarius Cawl, the developer of the Primaris technology, lacked experience in how to transform old Space Marines into Primaris Space Marines.

And the more crucial point is that the three new artificial organ implants need to be implanted in the early stages of the Primaris Space Marine transformation surgery.

For a Space Marine who has already completed the final transformation surgery, the black shell, adding three implants is tantamount to peeling off the entire person's skin, pulling off the black shell, prying open the rib plate that has grown into a piece of the chest, and then adding new organs into the body.

The three new organs are the Coil of Tendons, the Choral Pyramid, and the Forge of Belisarius.

Among them, the tendon coil is a semi-mechanical creation similar to an earthworm. It is shaped like a cable and resembles human nerves. It will actively drill into the body of the modified Space Marine and eventually grow together with the muscles, thereby greatly enhancing the power of the Space Marine.

The Primaris Space Marines can easily crush the old Space Marines' bones that are comparable to ceramsite steel because of the tendon coils.

It took the seven Weepers a while to adapt to the sudden increase in strength and their current strong physiques.

As for the Belisarius Forge, it is an implant inserted between the two hearts of a Space Marine.

Its effect is to make the Space Marine's skeleton grow again, from 2.1 meters to 3.04 meters! From big guy to super big guy!

But this is not the main purpose of Belisarius's furnace.

Dora Kaur designed this organ primarily to provide Primaris Space Marines with immense resilience.

This organ itself stores a special repair factor, which will be released in one breath when the Primaris Space Marine is under fatal threat, thus providing the Primaris Space Marine with super strong physical recovery ability.

Space Marines themselves possess the ability to quickly recover from injuries. The special cells produced by the Laraman organs will attach to the Space Marines' white blood cells, which can quickly stop bleeding, repair skin, and quickly form scabs.

With the Belisarius Forge activated, a Space Marine can even be resurrected and repair his own mortal wounds, much like a werewolf whose skeleton is metal and whose skin can heal after being cut.

However, this recovery ability is not continuous. The repair factor that Belisarius's furnace can store at one time is limited. Once it is consumed, it will take a long time to restore it.

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of matter, rapid regeneration also has consumption.

This part of consumption is a huge consumption even for Space Marines.

The last organ, the pituitary gland, was even derived from the modification technology of the original gene body, although only half of it remained.

The Primarchs relied on this organ to gain a strong physique and a super-powerful brain far superior to that of the Astartes, and the Holy Pituitary Gland can also achieve a similar effect.

It will further strengthen the Space Marine's muscles and bones, making them bigger, stronger and more powerful. At the same time, it will also promote the strengthening of the Space Marine's brain, greatly enhancing his thinking, reaction and wisdom.

In simple terms, the Holy Pituitary will allow the Primaris Space Marines to possess a certain degree of power of the Primarch. Even if it is only a small part of the Primarch's physical strength and wisdom, it is still the power of the Primarch.

However, because of this, it is a very troublesome and unfamiliar task to implant these three organs into the body of an old Space Marine that has already completed the transformation.

It had never been done before, and even Belisarius Cawl himself had spent his previous years focusing more on developing Primaris Space Marine technology than considering how to perform the surgery.

Without sufficient data support and practical experience, even Belisarius Caul was not sure that the transformation would be successful.

It can even be said that at this stage, even Cawl himself does not know exactly how to transform an old Space Marine into a Primaris Space Marine.

But Olivia, a young apprentice who had only obtained the lowest level sage title, performed Primaris transformation surgery on seven seriously injured and dying Astartes without any experience or preparation!
(Alien creature sage, this is the normal style of the Mechanicus)
"This is simply incredible! An inexperienced young apprentice actually managed to perform seven operations successfully. This is such an outrageous feat! This is simply the appearance of Om Messiah!" Kaul exclaimed again, but then he looked at Olivia: "I admit that I underestimated you, my student! I don't know whether you have been blessed by Om Messiah, or are simply lucky, or something else.

But since you were able to complete the Primaris transformation surgery, I must admit that you are indeed qualified to be my student, Belisarius Cawl!"

Kaur's words made Olivia overjoyed.

Although she called herself Caul's student, she also understood that this master-disciple relationship was just a nominal title. Otherwise, she would not have been labeled a technological heretic, had everything taken away from her, and then been driven out of the Forge World.

But now, Kaul's words were an acknowledgment that Olivia was qualified to be his real student, no longer just a student in name only.

"But teacher, I really don't feel any difficulty. Although I have never done a similar operation before, implanting artificial organs into a body is a very simple thing, isn't it?" Olivia still didn't understand why her teacher attached so much importance to this matter.

Kaul looked at Olivia, and seeing that her expression did not seem fake, he had to be sure that Olivia really did not think the Primaris transformation surgery was difficult, and was not saying it on purpose.

This caused Kaul to let out another sharp explosion, and even felt that his logic had collapsed.

He really didn't expect that his students would actually think that the Primaris transformation surgery was not difficult.

So the problem isn't these data and these seven Astartes, but his own students?

Kaul couldn't help but look at Olivia with a scrutinizing gaze, thinking that perhaps he should keep her by his side and observe her for a while to see if this student had any talents that he had not yet discovered.

Or maybe it was the effect of that strange implant.

While Cawl was pondering this, Chen Xi spoke up, "Your Excellency, Great Sage, are you aware of the prophecy regarding the Primarch's imminent return?"

"The Primarch is about to return? What kind of prophecy is that?" Cawl didn't understand why Chen Xi suddenly asked this, but he was extremely alert in his heart.

Because of the two tasks entrusted to him by Robert Guilliman, one was to develop the Primaris Space Marines, and the other was related to the return of the Primarchs.
