Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 269 Medical Servant
The great purge has begun.

The first to be purged were all the Blood Oath members in the Rostov sub-sector.

Of course, Chen Xi did not make a complete sweeping generalization, but rather divided them into the Blood Sacrifice faction and the non-Blood Sacrifice faction based on the information he obtained.

The Inquisition's interrogation methods were efficient and brutal. The psionicists' mental probing, the Mechanic's data mining, and even the most primitive physical torture were used to clearly distinguish the members of the Blood Oath Order in the shortest possible time.

Because the Blood Sacrifice Faction was suspected of heresy, those identified as members of the Blood Sacrifice Faction were immediately purged, and the relevant personnel were subjected to rigorous investigation by the court.

Those less directly involved were transformed into medical servants. Although they couldn't compare to human doctors in any way, it must be said that, thanks to the custom-designed features by the sages of the Cult of Machines, these medical servants were still able to handle some minor injuries quite well. This can be considered a certain degree of waste utilization and has indeed alleviated the severe shortage of medical resources.

The remaining Blood Oath members remain imprisoned and will be dealt with after the Blood Sacrifice faction has been completely eliminated.

To deal with this matter and these personnel, Chen Xi temporarily kept the Black Sanctuary behind instead of sending them to the front lines. They worked with Inquisitor Wayne and other Inquisitors who came to support them to carry out the purge of the Blood Oath Order.

Throughout the Rostov sub-sector, Blood Oath altars and churches were destroyed and confiscated, and in the process, more evidence of Blood Oath heresy was discovered, which also implicated more people.

The underground chamber was unearthed, the hidden ritual artifacts were exposed, and the forbidden documents secretly kept by the Blood Sacrifice faction were analyzed one by one by the heretical inquisitors of the Antichrist Order, ultimately becoming irrefutable evidence to condemn them.

This undoubtedly provided more raw materials for the modification of medical servants. Even the mechanical cult has iterated on the modification of medical servants, and has launched medical servants with better performance and more of their pre-death medical capabilities on the original basis.

Even Chen Xi now has a custom-made medical servant who has been modified and equipped with the Thinker Array, responsible for providing him with personal medical services.

While they cannot treat serious illnesses or handle any difficult problems, the medical servants are able to manage routine minor to moderate injuries and common ailments quite well.

If it weren't for the slightly creepy design, this would be a very useful product.

This gave Chen Xi even more inspiration. Ignoring his personal preferences, he immediately sent an order to Christensen, asking them to produce more medical servants and even allowing them to build a servant factory on the Rostov II star ring.

Of course, the raw materials this time are not natural people, but bio-engineered humans cultivated in the womb of life.

These cyborgs grow in incubation chambers, their genes carefully tuned to ensure their bodies can withstand subsequent mechanical modifications.

They are custom-cultivated using cloning technology and rapidly matured. During this process, a memory implantation device instills a large amount of medical knowledge into their minds. Once they grow into qualified adults, they also acquire a complete knowledge system.

This medical knowledge came partly from the Blood Oath members who were dealt with. After all, as a sect that had been rooted in the grassroots for hundreds of years and used medicine as a primary means of missionary work, their knowledge in this area was quite solid.

Their experience was extracted, their skills were copied, and their memories were transformed into data and input into the Thinker Array of the new generation of servants. Another part came from the summaries of the Astartes Chapter's apothecaries, who compiled a medical manual based on the ever-changing and complex situations on the battlefield, which detailed the treatment methods for various common battlefield injuries.

Now, this knowledge has also been implanted into the core of the machine servants' thinking, enabling them to quickly assess injuries on the battlefield and take the most effective treatment measures.
After being simplified, this content was printed and distributed to every soldier to ensure that they could learn how to provide first aid to their comrades on the battlefield.

The imparting of this knowledge to the servants undoubtedly enables the medical servants to handle more and more complex situations.

Of course, the customized version will have more content, and may even include targeted medical assistants specially formulated according to individual health conditions, but such high-end products are not available to ordinary soldiers.

These raw materials, infused with knowledge, are pulled onto the production line for modification. The frontal lobe is removed, various prosthetics and devices are installed, and most importantly, the Thinker Array is added to preserve basic thinking and judgment abilities, ultimately transforming them into a medical servant.

Although the medical servants that eventually emerge from the production line are quite valuable, especially the specially customized types which can cost a fortune that would make even a planetary governor wince, their emergence immediately filled the expeditionary force's severe shortage of medical resources.

At least now, lightly wounded soldiers on the battlefield don't have to worry about not getting treatment, and seriously wounded soldiers don't have to worry about just waiting to die.

On the battlefield, their comrades would treat them immediately when they were injured, and after being transported to the rear, they would receive further treatment from military medics trained as Space Marine apothecaries.

If the military medics don't have time to treat them, they can choose to receive treatment from medical servants.

The medical operatives' metal arms extend as they fall, their mechanical voices ring out as they suffer, and their drug syringes inject a life-saving drug into their veins when they are on the verge of death.

Although the treatment provided by medics is certainly not as good as that provided by military doctors, at least their lives can be saved.

This special product undoubtedly won the great favor of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which placed an astonishing order for 100,000 medical servants, and this was only the first batch of trial products.

However, these are all things for later. At present, the number of medical servants is still relatively limited, which makes Chen Xi want to deal with the Blood Oath Order as soon as possible.

On the one hand, they themselves are a ticking time bomb, and no one knows if they will explode.

In particular, to maintain secrecy, Chen Xi did not report the Blood Oath Order's suspected heresy to the star sector authorities for the time being; he only carried out a cleanup in the Rostov sub-sector.

After all, there was only suspicion at the beginning. Considering the influence of the Blood Oath Order, Chen Xi naturally wanted to keep things under control.

On the other hand, the space necromancers had begun their counterattack, and Chen Xi needed to replenish the expeditionary force's medical resources as soon as possible to get the battlefield medical system up and running.
