Warhammer begins in 2026

Huang Feng and Neos walked side by side into the deep gene laboratory. Twenty-one temperature-controlled incubation chambers were neatly arranged in the vast space, the culture medium inside shimmering with a soft glow, the still-developing prototype bodies sleeping peacefully within. Huang Feng frowned: "We must ensure comprehensive protection; there can be no oversight whatsoever."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and released her wide-ranging psionic energy. Layer upon layer of suppressive barriers surrounded each incubation chamber, isolating all external psionic fluctuations and warp penetration.

"Neos, come here." Huang Feng raised his hand and took out a personal eagle flag engraved with the word "Silence". "Relocate one hundred Silent Sisters and fifty Imperial Guards to guard this place permanently."

She set a strict rule: Erda was not allowed to set foot in the laboratory until all the Primarchs had emerged from the incubation chambers intact.

The Silent Sisters and the Imperial Guard squads, who had been waiting outside, entered in formation. Huang Feng handed the Silent Eagle Flag to the leaders of the two squads and solemnly instructed them: "No living being with spiritual power is allowed to approach the laboratory. If discovered, suppress and detain them immediately."

She then left the commander of the Imperial Guard and the head of the nuns alone to explain the guard regulations and emergency response plans in detail.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The two bowed in unison, performing the standard military salute reserved only for Neos.

Huang Feng glanced at Neos beside him, his voice filled with helpless complaints: "Are you really planning to treat me like a beast of burden?"

Only now did she realize that Neos had already secretly assigned her a high-ranking position of authority over the legion, armaments, and psionic defenses, placing all sorts of trivial matters on her shoulders.

Neos didn't offer any further explanation, and Huang Feng had no choice but to give up. He then turned and instructed the two teams of guards: "You two should do your duty and keep a close watch on this place."

With the overall situation at hand as the priority, we must unify the entire solar system as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the continued weakening of the subspace storm, we must quickly launch a grand expedition to search for the network tunneling machines left behind by the ancient saints throughout the galaxy and build a safe passage to escape subspace.

After arranging security for the Primarch Laboratory, Huang Feng led his team of Thunder Warriors directly to the next battlefield—the Orioc cult city-state in the northern ice plains.

The inhabitants of this place fanatically worshipped a primal psychic god, relying on a vast network of underground geothermal fortifications to defend their territory. Ordinary assaults would result in heavy casualties. Huang Feng dispatched the 17th Legion, the precursor to the Word Bearers, whose soldiers detonated the geothermal energy core. The scorching lava instantly engulfed the entire cult city-state, a swift and decisive act to deter all other factions across Terra that relied on their faith in the cult. The remaining forces were utterly powerless to mount any effective resistance and were quickly wiped out.

After pacifying the icy city-states, the army marched south to sweep away nomadic tribes and various genetically mutated tribes in the radiation wasteland of North Africa, opening up a complete battle line across the entire African continent, seizing a large number of military industrial equipment left behind in the wasteland, and at the same time absorbing a massive number of ordinary human soldiers to enrich the reserve forces.

With the war temporarily over, Huang Feng spearheaded the construction of a new comprehensive military academy. Meanwhile, Neos simultaneously advanced the mass production and modification project for Space Marines, and Huang Feng established a basic training system for all citizens: all eligible young people in Terra must first enroll in the academy to complete systematic general education, and after completing their studies, they will uniformly participate in standardized military training.

Only those who meet the physical and mental requirements are eligible to undergo Space Marine human modification surgery.

All Space Marines who have completed the transformation will undergo three years of intensive training, regardless of their Legion affiliation, to complete the Eagle Standard Psionic Imprint transformation and unlock the universal basic talent that Huang Feng created for all Space Marines—[Adaptive].

[Adaptive] Full Effect Features:

No matter what extreme terrain you are in, such as frigid ice fields, scorching deserts, muddy swamps, rugged mountains, barren Gobi deserts, deep seas, thousands of meters in the air, highly toxic fog areas, miasma-filled forests, or thin atmospheres, your physical functions, respiratory system, energy circulation, and body temperature regulation will instantly adapt autonomously, completely eliminating all the negative effects of the environment.

Fighting on icy plains will prevent frostbite and sluggish movement; marching in the desert will prevent dehydration and heatstroke; traversing swamps will prevent sinking and additional energy consumption; in toxic fog environments, the body automatically neutralizes corrosive toxins, preventing continuous damage, dizziness, and disability. The darkness of night, the glare of bright lights, and the visual interference caused by sandstorms will all be simultaneously canceled out, making the unit as efficient as if it were operating on a flat plain in any harsh terrain.

When faced with attacks of fire, ice, lightning, or strong acid corrosion, the body will develop corresponding resistances in a short period of time. It can continuously break through the resistance limit even when continuously enduring the same type of damage, becoming more and more resistant to attacks.

Against fast and agile enemy forces, one's own neural reaction speed and limb movement frequency automatically increase; when facing heavily armored and brute force enemies, skeletal resilience and force dissipation and exertion techniques are simultaneously enhanced; when engaging in long-range firefights, the body subconsciously makes slight adjustments to posture to greatly avoid being hit by projectiles.

After prolonged marches and fierce battles that exhaust their physical strength, the body autonomously reduces its basic energy consumption, and with the same supply of materials, its endurance is 1.5 to 2 times that of ordinary soldiers; minor external injuries and muscle strains can be slowly healed by the adaptive mechanism, greatly reducing non-combat casualties after the war.

Huang Feng originally intended to reserve this set of talents only for the Thirteenth Legion, but later she changed her mind: the unified basic survival abilities would be made available to all Space Marines, while the unique talents exclusive to each Legion would be left for the corresponding Primarchs to develop and refine themselves. She was only responsible for laying the foundation for everyone's basic abilities.

As for young people whose physique and willpower failed the Space Marine transformation screening, they were uniformly incorporated into the Mortal Auxiliary Army, responsible for logistics, engineering, garrison, transportation and other supporting work to support the front-line legions in combat.
