Chapter 28: Wow! Don’t cut it! ! ! !
In recent days, there has been a rumor circulating in Blackwatch that Ace, the former captain of the 4th Company, cheated while playing cards with other Dreadnoughts and was beaten so hard that his condenser tubes burst. What was even more unfortunate was that he was discovered by the Primarch who was in a bad mood and was dragged to the laboratory and shaved bald from his cool green hair.
The hair-loving Black Watch were so frightened that they dared not cheat anymore.
Our rumored protagonist Ace does have his head shaved now, but it’s not because Hogg lost money.
Ace was also unlucky. In the attack and defense of Els, the 4th Company was the main force on the front line. The entire 4th Company was wiped out. The surviving Ace relied on the powerful recovery ability of Blackwatch to hang on to his life. After all, the high temperature of plasma is the most restraining for these blood-recovering warriors. The sky-blackening plasma artillery fire directly shattered Ace's body, basically amputating below the neck.
The good news is that he can continue to fight for the Father of Genes, but the bad news is that he has to bid farewell to his torso. After completing the excessive self-castration, Ace was placed in the Dreadnought as a veteran, assisting Ginny, the captain of the newly formed Fourth Company, in managing the company.
"But now the only cool hairstyle I have left is gone," thought Ace, who had grown out of his body but was still in a life support cabin.
Hogg has been completely immersed in the laboratory these days in order to strengthen the firepower of the basic squad.
Combining the mainstream weapons and ammunition of the Empire, a single-soldier rocket launcher was created using the Predator Missile, with the intention of giving each soldier a few to increase firepower. The rest of the time was spent on improving the Tactical Dreadnaught.
To be honest, the tactical dreadnought is a life-support armor for disabled soldiers. Some Space Marines are beaten so badly that they cannot wear power armor to fight and can only survive by relying on sanitary equipment. Then he may be put into the iron coffin of the dreadnought to continue fighting.
In fact, entering a dreadnought is a different kind of torture, unlike the cybernetic body we imagined in Cyberpunk 2077, which can provide perfect services. The dreadnought in Warhammer is actually quite rough, and the drivers in it will be driven crazy for various reasons after staying in it for a long time. And the dreadnought in 30K is actually just like that.
Hogg was aware of Dorakor's general improvement plan for the Ultramarines Legion's tactical dreadnoughts in later generations, so the initial improvements were easy. The crude life-support devices were improved to be more comfortable and humanized, and the Lizardmen's efficient cooling system replaced the Imperial-made ones that would overheat after high-intensity combat.
A set of green shield generators are added to the thicker armor. The standard heavy bolter machine guns and plasma rapid-fire cannons are fully sufficient, and the modular design allows for further weapons to be added in the future.
The real difficulty lies in the fragile life-support capsule. Even if the pilot's life-support capsule is wrapped in thick ceramic steel, the fragile pilot will not be able to escape if he is crippled. However, the pilot who can escape does not need to enter the Dreadnought at all.
After much thought, Hogg decided to break away from the test-taker's mindset. No matter how much Wuwei changed, it would still be like this. He wanted to improve himself.
The Empire's technology can completely transform Ace, who only has half of his body left, into a candidate version of Kamen Rider. Some mechanical sages may not even have as much flesh and blood left as Ace.
Hogg decided to embrace change, reduce costs and increase efficiency, make every effort to optimize labor costs, attribute value to the Empire's technological structure, and let Black Watch soldiers enjoy the human fantasy of the 3K era.
To put it simply, Hogg, who is proficient in biochemical modification, directly used his own flesh and blood and alien technology to create a flesh and blood uterus.
According to Hogg's genetic compilation, as long as enough nutrients are put into the entrance, the damaged biological body is placed in, and the huge red lever next to it is pulled, the missing body can be printed out.
Of course, the new limbs are more fragile and may not be as strong as the original ones, but with care and adequate nutrition intake, they can return to their original state.
In fact, Hogg had the technical ability to create this kind of living device before, but he stopped the plan when he thought of the pollution of Chaos. However, enough necromancy technology and black stone materials were seized in Kollel, making the plan possible to develop.
[Flesh Remodeling Chamber G01]
The overall size is 5*5*5 cube. The outer shell is made of black stone material and has an independent three-in-one energy device to power the micro-death zone carried by it. The outer shell is finely polished by precise CNC. The dark red phantom energy that lights up from time to time can better reflect its noble technological connotation.
Standard gene coding technology is used internally. It only needs to put in the marked biochemical organic materials to continuously supply energy for one standard Terran day to obtain perfect limb printing service. The experimental results are very gratifying. Ace, who only has a head left, has regained his body. However, if he wants to become a space warrior again, he must undergo 1 operations and implant gene seeds.
But here comes the most annoying problem. We can't cut up the already intact Ace and put it into the Tactical Dauntless.
It was at this time that Hogg, who was mad at himself, saw Ace, who had a new body, squatting in the corner and grinning foolishly, so he shaved his green short hair bald.
Seeing Ace looking like his father had died, Hogg felt much better. But when he remembered that he was his father, he shaved his hair again and announced his ugly photo to the entire army.
"The previous Dreadnought transformation plan needs to be revised again." Hogg sighed and felt a lot more comfortable.
The disassembled Dreadnought in front of him, with scarlet lightning lighting up, the scattered parts floated in the air and reassembled, and the cables were connected one by one. Now that the man has been repaired, then transform the Dreadnought into an oversized power mecha, this is Hogg's plan.
The original life support chamber was replaced with a crudely installed driving compartment in the middle. As long as the Space Marines implanted with the black shell sit in it, the interface equipped with the neural interface will connect to the nervous system, and the programmed program will control every action of the Dreadnought, which is exactly the same as the previous direct-connected Dreadnought. At the same time, the heavy armor and shield are still installed in front of the cockpit.
It would be interesting to see a big guy suddenly jump out of the Tactical Dreadnought and fight the second stage of the boss battle when you think you have scrapped it.
In the remaining time, Hogg adjusted the manufacturing parameters of the Tactical Dreadnought one by one according to the existing manufacturing process of the Empire. After all, the Empire's forging world could not be made directly by hand like his own. Standardization was the basis of every weapon, and this kind of weapon would definitely become the backbone of the legion's individual soldiers.
"Father! Can you let me out?" Ace, who was still bloated from soaking in the life support cabin, asked pitifully.
For some reason, Hogg got angry when he saw Ace's miserable look. It was definitely not because he cheated when playing cards with him. When Hogg walked to the life-support warehouse and looked at Ace, suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
"Ace! As you know, most of the soldiers in the Fourth Company are new recruits. We really need elites like you to help build the company. So, for your future work, I decided to help you integrate better into the group of female soldiers."
Opening the life support cabin, the considerate Hogg handed him a towel.
After wiping off the residue on his body, Ace was overjoyed, "Father really loves me." He immediately asked:
"Father, how can you help me?"
Patting Ace's shoulder, Hogg took him to the front of the flesh and blood reshaping chamber like a kind old father. Where Ace was not paying attention, a needle of potion marked with special effects sedative was injected into his neck.
"Father, what are you going to do?" Ace, who had turned into a mortal, was quickly knocked unconscious and asked the original body in front of him at the last moment.
"Don't worry, little one! The operation will be a success, and the Fourth Company will have a new battle sister when you wake up."
"Quack! No! Don't cut it! I was wrong, I will never cheat again." Without showing any mercy to Ace's screams, he kicked the man in front of him into the machine with a big kick.
"Shut up!" Hogg with a sullen face began to input data, preparing to make a pleasing-looking assistant for his little cotton-padded jacket Ginny.
