Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 496 Weapons and Equipment

After Tiberus and his party arrived at the Astartes camp on the recruit training planet, time passed quickly and five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

On the first of these five days, all the Astartes engaged in a massive melee. After the fierce battle, the Astartes, who were originally strangers to each other, unexpectedly developed a sense of mutual respect due to this fierce battle.

For a group of soldiers, what better way to quickly draw closer than to fight with their comrades with all their might? They convey their inner passion to each other with their solid fists and fearless courage.

From the second day on, the Astartes began training in the gravity chamber, where they worked hard to adapt to their increased strength and use it to perfection, ensuring that they could exert maximum combat effectiveness against the enemies of humanity.

With hard training day after day, these Astartes gradually felt the shock brought by the technological products from the Lord of the Stars. The gravity slowly increased from one times to a hundred times. Such a huge range of changes can be adjusted at will!

This advanced technology undoubtedly provides strong support for their familiar and enhanced bodies.

Although only a very small number of people can currently withstand a gravity environment of more than twenty times, such a comprehensive technologically assisted training method is unprecedented in the empire.

"Thump, thump, thump!" A dull and dense sound of footsteps, like bursts of thunder, exploded outside the gravity training room.

When the Astartes who were training hard heard the rapid footsteps, they immediately realized that the Star Marines were coming.

Inside the spacious training hall, numerous Astartes were sweating profusely as they engaged in intense physical training. However, when they sensed the approach of the Stellar Space Marines, they stopped their movements without hesitation and rushed to the various training rooms like lightning to inform the Chapter officers who were concentrating on their training.

"Lord Tiberus, the Star Army is here!" The champion of the Carcharodon Regiment rushed to the door of a gravity training room anxiously and reported loudly to Tiberus who was undergoing twenty times gravity training.

Upon hearing this, Tiberus' muscles tensed up, and every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength. He moved his heavy body with difficulty and walked towards the exit of the gravity training room step by step.

Every time his strong and powerful legs landed, they left a deep, sweaty footprint on the ground, as if carving a mark of his perseverance on the hard floor.

The moment Tiberus successfully stepped out of the gravity training room, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and the twenty times gravity that had made it almost impossible for him to breathe disappeared instantly.

He even felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling of relief, as if a person who had been carrying a heavy burden suddenly took off all the baggage on his body, and the whole person became light, as if he could rise with the wind.

Tiberus took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and walked quickly towards the training room hall, passing by the regiment champion.

He tilted his head slightly, signaling with his eyes that they should go together to greet the Stellar Space Marines. The Chapter Champion nodded in understanding and quickly followed behind Tiberius.

When Nak entered the training hall with the fully armed Star Marines, the Astartes officers who had already come over greeted Nak politely.

"Captain Nak!"

"Captain Nak!"

Nak looked at the assembled Astartes and spoke directly to Tiberus, Azrael and the others at the front:

"Your exclusive weapons and equipment have been manufactured. Now follow me to get them!"

"So fast?" After hearing the news, everyone's faces showed astonishment and they looked at each other in disbelief.

Who could have expected that customized weapons and equipment for thousands of Astartes could be completed in just five days? After these Astartes underwent physical enhancement, their height and body shape had changed dramatically, and the weapons and equipment of the past were obviously no longer applicable.

Only by carefully crafting exclusive weapons and equipment based on the specific size of each Astartes can we ensure that these warriors can fully exert their strength.

In the past, when they were in the Empire, even if the Astartes' height and body shape changed, they often had no choice but to use their previous weapons and equipment.

Even if there are some minor incompatibilities, at most the technical sergeant will be asked to make some minor modifications and adjustments, and then the soldier can continue to fight the enemy in battle.

There has never been such a luxury as to obtain tailor-made weapons and equipment. Only people at the level of the regiment commander can get such an opportunity.

After all, even if the weapons and equipment were mass-produced by the Mechanicus through assembly lines, it would take at least decades or even hundreds of years to meet the needs of thousands of Astartes.

Not to mention the tailor-made weapons and equipment, it can be said that people have been dying in battle for hundreds of years, but the weapons and equipment are not even half completed and are still being produced.

Although they already knew that the Star Army had an astonishing speed in manufacturing weapons and equipment, these people expected that it would take at least ten days to half a month to get this batch of brand new weapons and equipment.

However, the facts before them once again overturned their cognition, making them feel even more awe for the powerful strength of the Star Army.

"It's just making a few thousand sets of weapons and equipment. It's not some advanced scientific research project. Five days is considered slow." Nak responded to everyone with disdain.

If it weren't for the need to redesign the power armor for this group of Astartes, it wouldn't even take five days; half a day at most would be enough.

It is impossible for all Astartes to wear the Assaulter Power Armor worn by the Astral Space Marines. This is something that all Astartes Space Marines will not agree to.

Although these eight Astartes Chapters have pledged allegiance to the Lord of the Stars, all the Star Marines do not want these guys to be on equal footing with them. If the newcomers are treated the same as they are, what will be the point of all their efforts over the years?

"But this kind of thing is still extremely shocking to us." Tiberus showed a wry smile on his face, feeling very emotional about it.

Nak chuckled, "It's okay. You'll get used to it after you've been shocked so many times."
