Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 295 Chen Xi's Thoughts

After Chen Xi's detailed explanation, Hai Tu finally understood his true intentions.

"You mean you obtained the rejuvenation potion and plan to bring it back to the 3K era for your family's treatment? But since the rejuvenation surgery requires the support of a professional medical team, you thought of our hospital?" Sea Rabbit rubbed her temples thoughtfully, looking troubled. "As a public medical institution, even if I can help you coordinate the surgeon and anesthesiologist, the hospital will not approve this project."

The rejuvenation drug currently has no clinical certification and is entirely an unapproved experimental drug.

Even if you dared to shoot yourself, our hospital wouldn't dare take that risk.

“Hospital approval isn’t the key issue,” Chen Xi said, clearly having anticipated this, cutting straight to the point: “I just want to know, from a technical standpoint, does your hospital have the capability to perform this surgery?”

If it's feasible, then there's no need to go to a public hospital. With Chen Xi's current wealth, contacting a private hospital can completely solve the problem.

Of course, if we take into account certain higher-level factors, involving some medical schools is not a problem.

Sea Hare readily agreed on this point: "I've read the technical manual for the rejuvenation surgery you got. It's not complicated. Although it involves some medical technologies that didn't exist in the 3K era, it's still quite simple if you're just using rejuvenation drugs for cell therapy."

Specifically, it can be completed with the cooperation of a qualified surgeon and an anesthesiologist.

However, if it involves advanced treatment modules such as organ function reconstruction, tissue replacement, body reshaping, or limb regeneration, it is beyond the current medical capabilities of our hospital.

Unless you can provide complete 40k-era medical equipment and provide systematic training to all medical staff involved in the surgery, such high-end surgeries are indeed impossible to perform.

Under the current circumstances, the most I can do is find a plastic surgeon to give you a lower-level replacement.

“Okay, it’s good that you can do it.” Chen Xi nodded knowingly.

For him, as long as the medical conditions of the 3K era could perform the most basic rejuvenation surgery, ensure the correct use of rejuvenation serum and achieve the effect of prolonging life, he would have already achieved his minimum expected goal.

As for more advanced medical technology? Chen Xi couldn't help but feel helpless. He still felt that some things from the 40k era were too simplistic and crude.

After all, after experiencing the glorious Dark Ages, the sudden arrival of the Old Night Era caused a devastating disruption to human technology.

Just when they finally saw the dawn of technological revival during the 30k Great Expedition, they were dealt a heavy blow by the Horus Rebellion.

This great rebellion not only severely weakened the human empire, but also caused countless precious technological legacies and irreplaceable STC templates to be destroyed in the flames of war.

For example, the STC template, the panacea stolen by the Dark Eldar, is said to contain a formula for a universal gene potion that can cure all known diseases.

Thinking of all this, Chen Xi wished he could immediately amass a million troops, pull out a million original Astartes to charge into the network, storm into Comoros, and snatch the stuff back.

However, theoretically speaking, he doesn't actually need to do that.

The list of items available for exchange provided by the Emperor does indeed include many precious relics from the Dark Ages.

While not all lost technologies can be redeemed, legendary medicines like the Panacea do exist.

It's important to understand that the technology the Emperor used to create the Imperial Guard—that cutting-edge technology known as "bio-alchemy"—involved genetic engineering and biochemical modifications at a level that would make scientists in the 3K era question their existence and regard it as something magical.

One can only imagine how extravagant the technology of humanity's peak period, preserved by the emperors, must have been.

However, reality is always cruel.

These valuable technologies mostly exist in the form of complete STC templates, and the required redemption points are despair-inducingly high.

Even though Chen Xi has accumulated some points, he can only look on with envy at these exorbitantly priced items. This forces him to continue fighting in this decadent 40k universe, striving to accumulate enough points.

Of course, Chen Xi wasn't without other options, but they were all too far out of reach for him at the moment.

Compared to all that, winning the immediate war and accumulating enough points is more practical.

After all, there are collaborations with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners or figure collectors, but for now, these options seem too far off.

In contrast, focusing on the immediate battle and accumulating points through military merit is more practical.

After all, it's more practical to try to capture a Star God fragment and trade it with Caul than to take huge risks dealing with unreliable beings.

As a sage of the Mechanic Church who has lived for tens of thousands of years, Kaul possesses countless coveted technological secrets.

His technology alone, which allows people to live for thousands of years, is enough to make anyone flock to it.

Although Chen Xi was clear about how the technology worked and its potential flaws, he believed that these problems could be avoided through appropriate means.

"Ah, if only we could dig up a complete STC from the Dark Ages!" Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh, his eyes gleaming with longing.

He couldn't help but fantasize that if he possessed a blue mechanical raccoon's four-dimensional pocket filled with all sorts of all-purpose gadgets, he could head straight to Necromonda's lair right now and repair that legendary damaged STC.

The mere thought of the technological leap the empire would gain as a result filled him with excitement.

Even if he had to settle for second best and didn't have such an overpowered cheat, as long as he had 100,000 original Astartes warriors, he could still organize an expeditionary force aimed directly at the galactic core.

His goal was clear—to seize an ancestral shrine from those stubborn space dwarves.

It's important to know that these space dwarves who call themselves "Wotan" are actually descendants of the clone mining teams sent to the Galactic Center by humans during the Dark Ages.

The “ancestral shrine” that they cherish is essentially a well-preserved STC!

These short, bearded men not only possessed ancestral shrines, but what was even more enviable was that they also had the skill to build new shrines.

If a small clan could be found to seize their shrine, it would be a godsend for the human empire, which is struggling with technological difficulties.

But what fascinates Chen Xi the most are the rumored "ancestral cores" who have awakened self-awareness.

These artificial intelligences, nurtured by the space dwarves over tens of thousands of years and fed with massive amounts of data, are more powerful than imagined.

Each ancestral core contains immeasurable scientific and technological knowledge, a living treasure trove of technology.

If the Empire were to seize and analyze the data stored in one of the cores, it could very well trigger an unprecedented technological renaissance!

A glint flashed in Chen Xi's eyes, as if he had already seen the dawn of the resurgence of human civilization.

However, the weight of reality quickly brought him back to his senses.

After all, with his current strength, these ideas are still just unattainable dreams.

But you should always have dreams, what if they come true someday? Especially since the Primarch is about to return to the Empire, there will be so much room for maneuver then.
