Chapter 196 The Sons of Thunder
After the Corpse Tide Guard Battle and the start of the recovery expedition, a considerable number of soldiers who have undergone the technical transformation of the sixth generation variant have successfully upgraded from the fifth generation to the sixth generation veterans.

At the same time, they were also switched or sent to more dangerous situations, so that the soldiers who had undergone subsequent transformations could continue to fight and wait for the opportunity to upgrade.

As for the mutant soldiers who used the fifth-generation technology at the beginning, it will take some effort to complete the upgrade of the sixth-generation veterans.

On the one hand, their bodies have been solidified and stabilized, and it would be risky to continue to make secondary changes.

On the other hand, with the full production capacity of Li Jianghao's camp, their number has gradually decreased compared to mutant soldiers who can upgrade veterans.

According to Crane's words, it's just that there is no value to continue to invest in. It's better to use them for defensive patrol missions, and wait until the follow-up technology is stable or new breakthroughs are made before making plans.

And Thorne, who had been silent for a long time, finally got out of the depression in his heart temporarily. He still couldn't accept the upcoming fate of his companions who were Thunder warriors.

But after meeting Leon and hearing his experience, he also knew that he couldn't escape.

He even realized the fact that he was no longer in the original universe, and the essence of Li Jianghao's mission.

If I can follow this human being who travels between worlds and constantly acquire new power, I may be able to gain the power to change the fate of the Thunder Warriors.

In terms of actual strength, the mutant soldiers transformed by these elementary thunder fighters are already comparable to the marines in the world of StarCraft.

The physical improvement obtained by a person's daily exercise is just slowly approaching the functional upper limit of the original body organs, rather than opening up new limits.

So after much deliberation, he could only operate the first step of Thunder Warrior's transformation first, without transplanting additional body organs, but only increasing the upper limit of the ability of a single organ.

Although their body size is barely similar to that of the general Astartes, there is still a huge gap in their physical strength, but they can indeed wear the ordinary metal steam power armor that New London provides for Thorne and Cagallo. .

Now the upper limit of physical fitness can't be improved, and the only way to increase part of the upper limit of potential is to use Thunder Warrior to transform body organs.

The current mutants' physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, but in fact, their internal cardiopulmonary function has only been raised to the corresponding level, and the upper limit has not been raised enough.

Just relying on weapons of modern technological level is enough to form an army that can push across the entire world.

Even if the Astartes, the descendants of the Thunder Warriors, optimize the body transformation technology, and even have the gene seed of the original body as a stabilizing aid (perhaps more of the negative effects during the transformation), even if the transformation has the highest success rate, the losers are not The success rate of the mortal Ultramarine Corps barely reached half.

The basis of Thunder Warrior's transformation is to first upgrade the existing upper limit of body organ function, rather than just reaching the original upper limit.

The corresponding muscle groups of the inflated zombie were transplanted, and the preliminary results of all Thunder Warrior surgeries created a fifth-generation enhanced plus mutant soldier with a height of about [-] meters, scaled up in equal proportions, and a strong physique.

And this kind of mutant soldiers who relied on the primary transformation surgery of Thunder Warriors were also called Sons of Thunder by Li Jianghao.

Due to the limitations of Thunder Warrior's mutant technology, there is currently no way for it to be directly used by ordinary people.

Perhaps the Emperor had thrown him here for that very purpose.

But at that time, the mortality rate of Thunder Warrior's transformation surgery will be greatly increased, exceeding the risk of forcibly transforming the original fifth-generation mutants to upgrade.

But the risk is that the components equipped on the body are basically foreign, and it takes a while to get used to it. There is a probability that the parts will fall off, and it needs to be returned to the factory for repair.

Transplanting an extra heart or even a third lung is not out of the question, if some are daring.

These mutants were included in a separate establishment, and they completely surpassed the sixth-generation mutants who were upgraded to veterans in fighting alone.

However, it is still possible to complete some of the most basic transformations with the help of the improved physical fitness.

This is not the so-called exercise or the improvement achieved by using ordinary fitness medicine.

It's like an ordinary person and an athlete's body are very different, but they still use the same type of body organ function system.

There is no way to increase the number of organs to increase cardiopulmonary function through organ transplantation, but it can be done by increasing the load capacity of a single organ.

Therefore, these mutant soldiers who were unable to upgrade to the sixth generation of mutants for the time being became the subjects of the experiment.

After all, this world can no longer hold on to the last crisis of annihilation, and infantry combat units with strong mobility can sweep everything away.

No matter how fast humans run, and no matter how powerful their original cardiopulmonary function is, they cannot outrun a car with an internal combustion engine.

The air sacs of the processed venom zombies are sterilized and cut off as a substitute for increasing the capacity of the trachea. At the same time, because mutants will not be infected by prion particles, their second mutant operation does not need to worry about blood infection when the heart is involved. The problem.

If the upper limit of organs is increased, it is equivalent to providing another upgrade path for the existing fifth-generation mutants who cannot be upgraded.

But the transformation of Thunder Warrior is to elevate the internal organs to a more terrifying level.

You can have the same fighting power as a good brother with 50 yuan, but the power armor and weapons can't keep up.

The valves of the heart chambers and the main blood transfusion valve structure are opened by surgery to expand the volume, and new auxiliary blood vessels are opened up at several major arterial and venous blood supply nodes to avoid the collapse of the original blood oxygen system.

After all, the original sixth-generation variant technology is to improve the upper limit of all aspects of quality, waiting to be unlocked after continuous fighting.

He can only hope that when he reaches that step and returns to his own universe, not too long has passed.

But at this point, these original fifth-generation mutant soldiers are already very happy.

Of course, the technical limits of this world are completely incapable of satisfying the upgrade of a complete Thunder Warrior.

That doesn't make much sense, the limit of ordinary human organs is also the function of large beasts in nature.

They are more or less dissatisfied with the juniors who came from behind, and they are happy to participate in the transformation of Thunder Warriors.

It is equivalent to replacing the original engine with a more advanced alternative.

What follows is the lifting of the body skeleton and the stretching and stretching of the muscle groups.

According to the formation of the battle group, there are seven squads.

Of course, this seven was suggested by Typhons.

There are barely a third of an Astartes company in existence.

Dividing into too many squads, or turning into loose warbands, can be counterproductive.
