Space Marines are certainly powerful, but that doesn't mean they can't be hurt.
One of the various modifications they received was an artificial organ implanted in the blood circulation system. This artificial organ, nicknamed the blood plate, can speed up the healing and scabbing of wounds of Space Marines.
Normally, when a wound occurs in a space warrior, the cells produced by this artificial organ will be transported to the wound together with white blood cells. After contacting the air, they will quickly stop bleeding and form a scar to protect the wound.
In fact, it is not easy for Space Marines to leave permanent scars on their bodies. Their powerful self-healing abilities and various modified organs can even allow them to survive attacks that would be absolutely fatal to mortals.
He survived his injuries and awaited subsequent treatment.
But even so, there will still be some Space Marines who lose limbs or suffer irreversible injuries in too cruel and tragic battles.
Usually they would choose to use mechanical prosthetics made by the priests of the Mechanicus instead, but if the injuries are too serious, they will be transferred to a coffin called a Dreadnought and rely on the Dreadnought's life-support equipment.
Slumbering with the stasis field, he was awakened when the Chapter and the Imperium needed him to fight again.
During this battle, the injuries sustained by the two Space Marine veterans were not fatal, but they were difficult to heal.
At this time, they were sitting under a section of the cathedral wall. They had taken off their helmets with the help of other Astartes brothers and were looking at their brothers.
One of the two veterans was from the Blood Angels, and the other was from the Ultramarines. The red and blue power armors looked dilapidated at this moment, and the limbs of the two veterans were also damaged.
Among them, the Blood Angels veteran had been stabbed through the abdomen, and a demonic arm was still stuck in his wound.
Considering the problems of hemostasis and other treatments, the severed hand was not pulled out.
But obviously this hand caused serious damage to this Blood Angel veteran. It was only the Space Marine's strong physique that could support him. If it were a mortal, he would have died long ago.
The veteran of the Ultramarines was even worse injured. The other hand that seemed to be a pair of the Blood Angel's arm stabbed through his chest and penetrated him from the position next to the shoulder armor from all over his body.
chest.
This ultramarine's face was already a little pale at this moment, almost close to the skin color of the Raven Guard, and the expression on his face also looked very painful.
In fact, he was indeed enduring tremendous pain. It could even be said that only powerful and well-trained warriors like Space Marines could withstand and endure such tremendous pain.
Because the modified and implanted one of the two hearts in this extreme warrior's body has been crushed by this hand. At this moment, he can only rely on the original heart that is still beating in his chest to maintain his life, but now
But every time his heart beat, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
This was literally bone-piercing, and an ordinary mortal would have died the moment he suffered such damage.
Only interstellar warriors who have undergone inhuman transformation can still maintain their lives by relying on the various powerful biochemical organs implanted in their bodies.
But this is not a long-term solution. Their injuries are fatal enough to the Space Marines. They cannot last long at all. Even their comrades are already persuading them to use the meninges from the artificial organs implanted by the Space Marines to make themselves stronger.
He fell into a suspended animation, waiting for rescue forces to arrive.
At this time, two Thunderhawk transport planes were on their way, bringing with them Dreadnought mechas specially designed to accommodate such seriously injured Space Marines.
As long as the two Space Marines fall into suspended animation, they can sustain their lives for a longer period of time. When the Thunderhawk arrives, they can be loaded into the Dreadnought to save their lives.
However, for Space Marines, becoming a Dauntless is not something that makes them happy.
Of course, there is the frustration and regret of having to huddle in a coffin from now on, and there is also the fearlessness and discomfort. Every time they wake up and fight, it is a torture, but more importantly, the process of becoming fearless is very important to them.
A bit too cruel for a Space Marine.
So that, except for a very small number of people, very few Space Marines choose to become a Dreadnought when they are about to face death.
Even though the Dreadnought can be said to be the most powerful heavy firepower unit in the hands of Space Marines, it is also a real monument. Becoming a Dreadnought symbolizes a great honor. Those brave Space Marines are more willing to choose to die in battle rather than be killed.
Put it in this living coffin.
Because if you want to put a Space Marine into a Dreadnought, you must first cut off its limbs, and then you can put the Space Marine into a specially built sarcophagus, using a life support system and a stasis field to keep the Space Marine
continuation of life.
And this isn't the end yet.
For Space Marines, even if their limbs are cut off and they have to rely on a movable coffin to survive in the future, it is not an intolerable thing. As long as they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Empire.
However, among the early models of the Dreadnought, there was one type of Dreadnought that had very poor heat dissipation. Often, after a battle, these Dreadnoughts did not die, but instead roasted the wounded inside themselves alive.
At that time, Fearless was also nicknamed the Toaster.
It's just that these two Space Marines don't have much choice at the moment. They are so weak that they don't even have the strength to commit suicide, and the Space Marines on the side don't give them a chance to commit suicide.
Fortunately, the two Thunder Eagles arrived very quickly. They airborne directly from orbit and brought the priests of the Mechanicum, as well as sarcophagi enough to accommodate the two wounded.
Obviously, something as big as the Dreadnought Mecha, and the wounded have not yet been put into the sarcophagus, these priests of the Mechanicus did not carry the entire Dreadnought Mecha body.
Seeing that the two space warriors who were killing everyone just now were about to have their hands and feet cut off and put into such a small box, Chen Mo couldn't accept it. He fell directly from the sky and said to the arriving priest of the Mechanicus: "Fearless
With things like mechas, haven't you ever thought about improving the experience of the wounded inside?
And their injuries are not incurable, and there is no need to stuff them into Dauntless now."
With that said, Chen Mo took out the demon's life purifier that he had previously extracted and pulled out the two severed hands from the wounds of the two wounded soldiers amidst the surprised eyes of the space warriors on the side.
Before the blood spurted out, he divided the life essence into two parts and pressed it into the bodies of the two wounded.
