but.

The transformation technology of this information is not complete, because the complete catalog has nineteen biological transformation processes, and it also lacks the most important transformation, a transformation called 'Black Carapace' [Interface System] process.

The exoskeleton armor of Space Marines is different from that of others. They are equipped with the most advanced exoskeleton armor, and the combat environment they deal with is more complex. It is much more difficult to operate than other powered armors. Conventional operations cannot bring out the true strength of the Space Marines, so there is a special modification in the biological modification technology.

It is called implanting the 'Black Carapace', and it is the last and most special implantation process for a Space Marine.

Without this transformation surgery, the Space Marines could not be called Space Marines, and they also lost the title of [War Chapter].

There is not much data about the 'black carapace'. We can only confirm that it is a special substance produced in a culture tank. After being surgically transplanted under human skin, the substance will expand and connect within a few hours. to the nerve bundles within the Space Marine's body.

After a few months, the black carapace fully matures and forms a unique biological nerve sensor that can directly contact the connection points of the exoskeleton armor and is used to detect and analyze the status of the entire exoskeleton armor, including medical treatment, life support, combat injuries, etc. Etc., all of this information is transmitted directly to the brain through nerve bundles.

This is like a biological system specifically designed to assist in the control of interstellar armor.

"There are a lot of missing transformation surgeries in it!" Su Ziyu quickly browsed the information and said to himself: "The data is quite detailed, but what about the gene seeds that are the basis for transformation?"

"Why aren't there any records?"

Gene seeds are the foundation of all modifications. Only by accepting the implantation of gene seeds can one be able to withstand the complete nineteen genetic modifications.

Without gene seeds, ordinary people can only accept three to five genetic modifications at most, depending on their physique.

The imperial soldiers in the underground base are examples of those who have only received one or two genetic modifications. They usually have a 'second heart' implanted. This is the simplest, easiest and lowest-cost modification surgery, a small artificial heart made of bionics. The heart is installed inside the chest to speed up blood flow and maintain intact body functions when the original heart is damaged.

The manufacturing technology of the bionic heart is in the data, and the records are very complete. It can also be manufactured with the technological level of the wasteland plane.

usually.

Ordinary knights in the empire will undergo three to five genetic modifications, including a second heart, bone enhancement, muscle enhancement, multifunctional lungs, etc. If she is a strong person like Holy Blood Rose, she should have undergone no less than She has undergone 10 genetic modification surgeries and may even have had gene seeds implanted. Based on the superhuman reflexes she has shown, this female warrior must have been implanted with a [superconducting fiber nerve tree].

"There is no problem with the information."

"But what to do with these genetically modified materials?" Su Ziyu couldn't help but fell into deep thought and murmured: "If the technology inside is taken to the wasteland, only the simplest two or three surgeries can be performed."

"Save it first."

Thinking of this, Su Ziyu directly ordered: "System, copy the data inside to the database."

These transformation technologies are much ahead of the wasteland plane. The final product of the Space Marines may have a slight change in skin color, but otherwise they basically look like normal people.

The final strength will directly change from ordinary people to supermen, which is roughly equivalent to the legendary level in the fantasy plane.

Reach heaven in one step!

This is the terrifying foundation of the technological plane. As long as they have enough resources, they can mass-produce a batch of legendary warriors.

If you really do it.

The strength of these space warriors is more terrifying than the legends, because their equipment is also very advanced.

"Ordinary knights in the empire have only received up to five transformations."

"Easy to deal with."

"But the high-level knights have undergone a lot of transformations. If they are implanted with gene seeds, their strength will not be much weaker than the Holy Blood Rose." Su Ziyu said secretly: "You have to be careful next."

"More than one of them must have undergone more than ten reconstructive surgeries."

At this time.

Su Ziyu turned his attention to the resistance soldier wearing a scout-type exoskeleton. He gently raised his hand and took off the opponent's helmet, revealing a capable female face with short hair and two colored eyes. Slightly different, the eye on the right side is dark blue, and it should be a bionic eye implanted. At this time, her expression is quite frightened, and she wants to move but can't move at all.

- "Psychic suggestion!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Su Ziyu's eyes, but he was surprised the next second because the other party was immune to his mental intrusion.

This woman's psychic enhancement level is at most LV3, so it is logically impossible for her to be exempted.

"Is it because of this device?" Su Ziyu reached out to the back of her head and touched a small piece of silver-white metal device.

A faint flicker of electricity jumped.

The next second, the short-haired woman in front of him became confused.

"Follow me." Su Ziyu nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "I will take you to a safe place first."

Finally captured a prisoner, just in time to collect information about this world.

The battle on the other side was over, and all the rebels who had attracted firepower might rush into the street. Su Ziyu didn't want to provoke the empire's pursuers, so he planned to leave the area first.

Along the way, Su Ziyu also asked the other party for information about this world.

The result was a bit surprising.

Although the empire they talk about is an empire, it is not a real empire. It is just a lucky person who inherited part of the ancient empire's technology.

The whole story begins more than three thousand years ago.

At that time, the planet was still in the Middle Ages. Although humans colonized the planet, due to the disasters of unknown subspace storms and alien invasions, the entire human civilization regressed to the primitive civilization period.

The existence of alien beasts in subspace has made human survival more and more difficult, and civilization has been at a standstill for a long time.

But at that time, a powerful medieval empire was also born on this planet.

After the rise of this empire, they began to explore the outside world. They were the true sons of destiny on this planet. Not long after their rise, they dug out the base of a complete ancient lost empire. Since then, the empire has begun to climb the technology tree at an alarming rate. However, because the technology acquired is relatively one-sided, ancient medieval customs are still maintained in many aspects, and the feudal empire system has been used to this day.

Hundreds of years passed.

The empire ruled the planet at an astonishing speed and developed a powerful civilization. They began to realize that there was more than just one type of intelligent life on the planet: humans. In order to deal with threats from the outside and the underground, the empire began a cross-era 'Racial Ascension' plan.

Since the technology tree is incomplete, the empire does not have very strong research capabilities. Most of the technologies come from the relics of the ancient lost empire.

so.

This racial ascension plan, which spanned more than three hundred years, failed just halfway through.

The entire plan was called [Psychic Ascension]. The emperor of the empire decided to adjust the gene tree of the people of the empire through genetic modification, so that they would gain the talent of [psychic sensitivity] from birth.

The initial plan for psychic ascension was successful.

Because all the newborns born in the empire during that time showed at least LV1 level of psychic power, many children showed psychic powers of LV3 and above at an early age.

The empire began to flourish.

The nobles rushed to start genetic optimization. At the same time, they also made breakthroughs in the technological research of the ancient lost empire. They successfully created the [Psychic Amplification Device], which can greatly amplify a person's psychic power through machinery. The nobles of the empire Almost all have superhuman strength.

However, technological progress does not represent the transformation of civilization. The empire still retains the feudal rule of the Middle Ages. The powerful nobles began to indulge in luxury and enjoyment, becoming more and more degenerate, and the lives of the lower class became more difficult.

Especially with the prevalence of genetic modification, many lower-class people have become experimental subjects and victims.

That's when the original resistance was born.

At first, they could only hide underground, looking for opportunities to resist the tyranny of the empire.

But no one thought that the empire's [Psychic Ascension] plan would lead to their own rapid destruction. As a large number of people in the empire underwent genetic optimization and transformation, more and more people gained the gift of psychic energy.

The empire is about to enter a glorious period of great strength.

Suddenly one day.

The inner whispers broke out, stronger than before, filled with more evil thoughts and negative emotions.

Those Imperial people who were born with the gift of [Psychic Sensitivity] directly suffered a devastating blow. Countless people went crazy and died, and countless people became mentally twisted and became lunatics.

The emperor of the empire.

A peerless strong man who had lived for nearly six hundred years turned directly into some kind of terrifying monster.

Disaster struck.

The entire empire suddenly collapsed overnight. Those Imperial people who were born with powerful psychic talents died one after another. The once glorious city also turned into ruins. The survivors who were lucky enough to survive could only hide underground. Relying on the psychic suppression barrier to survive.

So far, the nobles of the empire cannot live on the ground for a long time. They can only be active in the outside world for a short period of time, and must hide in underground bases the rest of the time.

Civilization has once again lost its inheritance.

Fortunately, the former empire had rich heritage, and they had obtained more than one technology from the ancient ruins. As the psychic ascension plan failed, they began to study another technology tree.

The failure of psychic ascension frightened the Imperials.

Although they possess a large amount of mechanical bionic technology and biological modification technology, they still dare not carry out a second 'race ascension' plan.

Huge resources were consumed, and the empire's foundation was gradually exhausted.

A failed 'psionic ascension' completely drained the empire of its wealth, and it has not been able to recover to this day.

Now the top officials of the empire can only survive in underground cities.

"What a bunch of lunatics!"

After hearing about the empire's past, Su Ziyu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is the plan of racial ascension so easy to complete?"

The current imperial nobles have been thinking of ways to modify the genes of future generations.

After a certain degree of genetic correction, the descendants of today's imperial nobles can now move a little on the surface, but they are still unable to resist the whispers of the soul. The sudden facial distortion of the wizened old man Su Ziyu saw before is a side effect of an overly sensitive soul.

This talent brings powerful spiritual energy, but the price is quite heavy.

at present.

The empire's strategy has shifted to biological modification and bionic modification. However, due to the lack and rarity of gene seeds, except for a small number of high-level officials and lucky people who can accept gene seeds from ancient ruins, everyone else can only accept the most basic ones. Road reconstruction program. The nobles of the empire are very resistant to bionic transformation, because accepting bionic transformation means that they have to give up some of their luxurious pleasures. In order to satisfy their desires, they are willing to live in an underground city.

"so."

"There aren't many space warriors in the empire itself?" Su Ziyu said secretly.

All gene seeds come from ancient ruins. It seems that the ancient lost empire buried part of the gene seeds deep underground before some terrible disaster broke out.

Because gene seeds are too scarce, bionic transformation is currently being promoted within the empire.

Initially, they chose the 'spiritual ascension' route because the empire's resources could just meet the conditions for ascension, but they did not expect that it would lead to the fall of a powerful empire.

"The risk of racial ascension is very high!" Su Ziyu murmured.

I have to remind people in the wasteland plane in the future, because the technology tree in the wasteland plane is about to reach the route of mechanical ascension.

Today the empire is in tatters.

The empire currently implements a governor-general system, but in fact it is a small independent kingdom.

But fortunately, the imperial royal family still has powerful military power in their hands, especially the transformation surgery of space warriors and advanced bionic technology. Only the imperial royal family has complete scientific and technological information.

However, the current queen of the empire, Isabella II, also has big problems.

Isabella II was known as the 'bloodthirsty queen'. It was rumored that she was quite cruel and liked to skin people to death. She had headaches from birth and was moody by nature. Although she held the power of the empire, The reason why she stayed inside the Forbidden Palace for a long time is said to be because she was born with extremely amazing spiritual talents. Even within the protective barrier, she was not completely immune to the whispers of the mind, which directly led to her distorted personality under the torture of the whispers of the mind. .

After the failure of psychic ascension, the successive royal heirs of the empire all suffered from "psychological abnormalities".

Queen Isabella would enter the dormant chamber to rest at regular intervals. Currently, the rule of the entire empire was maintained by the ministers of the interior, and the feudal nobles from various places formed small kingdoms with complete autonomy.
