"It's hard to imagine that a flesh and blood body can ignore the damage of explosive bombs."
"The last time I shot a samurai bug in the head, it took three shots. These creatures are incredibly tough. Even the greenskins are not that tough."
"Do they have no breathing organs?"
"I heard that Tyron can survive in an oxygen-free environment..."
Dozens of Astartes wearing different armors gathered around these display stands, carefully looking at the aliens. A biological sage whose body was highly modified and as tall as an ordinary Space Marine was pointing at the aliens with its eight mechanical arms.
There are several different display panels.
"In these Tyranid organisms, there is obviously a unique organ that can store certain sulfur compounds, heat them when needed, and finally squeeze them out like a flame."
As it spoke, one of its mechanical tentacles picked up a soft yellow piece of meat from the surgical tray next to it.
"This organ has never been mentioned in previous autopsy reports on Tyranids, so I speculate that it is the result of a completely new evolution. These Tyranids must have ingested large amounts of sulfide when devouring the planet and stored it in their
In the incubation pool, this is why there are a lot of yellow spots on their carapace. Their bodies contain a lot of sulfur. This is completely different from the Behemoth Hive Fleet and the Dagon Fleet that attacked the Extreme Star Territory.
In the Hive Fleet, it is even these highly enriched sulfides that promote the development of their brains, especially hydrogen sulfide, which is an excellent regulator of neurotransmitters, which can greatly enhance their learning energy and accelerate the development of new variants.
The speed of evolution.”
Soshyan nodded.
"I asked why these Tyranid creatures always have a stench of sulfur and even spit out biological flames. What a big trouble."
But Malakin suddenly said:
"But this may also be one of their weaknesses. During the naval battle, I discovered that these Tyranid biological ships... are very prone to implosion and internal combustion."
The biological sage also agreed with Malakin's words.
"Yes, after they swallow a large amount of sulfide, the best storage point is those biological ships, and the most convenient storage form of sulfide is gaseous, so we can assume that the interior of those biological ships must be filled with sulfide gas."
Seth grinned.
"Aren't they just flying gas cans? It will be much easier to fight if you know this."
"But sulfide gas will also enhance the reaction speed and attack frequency of the Tyranid biological ship. This time we used a trick to trick it and make it so powerful that it cannot be used. But it will be difficult to replicate it again, and face to face
In the naval battle... they were difficult to deal with. Although we destroyed tens of thousands of biological ships, this was only one-tenth of the size of its main force, or even less. Until now, we still can't figure out this Thai force.
The actual size of the London fleet."
Soshyan's words made everyone's expressions become serious.
Then he looked at the biological sage.
"Is there any way to crack those spore poison smoke?"
The biological sage then brought everyone to a huge glass cover. In the viscous liquid, there was a poisonous smoke beetle imprisoned. It was one of the poisonous tobacco bugs that Nulus and others had captured alive. Countless thin tubes were inserted into it.
, and those chimneys are also connected to metal pipes.
"Our detailed research on them found that these organisms have the ability to adjust autonomously. They can adjust the composition of the spore poisonous smoke they generate at any time according to the situation, and even adjust the DNA structure of those phages. This variability makes the research into a dilemma.
A mystery. I have dealt with hundreds of thousands of different creatures in my life, including alien monsters that contain extremely deadly poisons, but it is rare to encounter any creatures that are as toxic and manufactured as this beast.
The ability of toxins, even in our most advanced laboratories, it is difficult to create or replicate the highly toxic poisons it produces, both in quantity and quality. This is not a living thing at all, it is a miniature poisonous gas.
A factory, all its physiological functions only revolve around one function, producing poisonous gas. It has no digestive organs, no reproductive organs, and even no eating organs. It also abandons all senses for survival. In other words, this kind of creature is actually unable to
Living independently in the natural environment, it has a very single 'functionality'."
"To put it simply, you are unable to create drugs that can immunize or treat their toxins?"
Arash's words were a little ruthless, but fortunately there was no expression on the mechanical sage's face, and he just replied calmly:
"Because this is not poison at all. This is an innate characteristic that all Tyranids seem to have. They are harmful to all life forms with different biological foundations from themselves. This can be understood as being harmful to all life forms other than themselves.
After obtaining enough samples and conducting the experiment for a long enough period of time, we may be able to understand the nature of this hostility."
At this time Soshyan looked at Nulus.
"I heard that Death Watch has a unique warhead that is designed to kill enemies at the genetic level. Is it effective against Tyranids?"
"You are talking about the Hellfire Bullet. This is indeed a weapon specially developed for Tyranids. It contains thousands of needles wrapped with gene-dissolving poison. It can be fired into the target's body through explosion, turning the living thing into a lump.
Unidentifiable organization... However, this kind of bullet is based on the genes of the Tyranid Hives encountered by the Empire, mainly the Behemoth Fleet, and there are also Death Watch against Dagon Hives in the Achilles Theater.
Enemies of the fleet have used this weapon, but the effect is not that good. Small creatures can be killed, but large units such as samurai bugs may take nearly an hour to die. If they are giant targets such as executioners, they can hardly be killed.
It worked.”
The biological sage took over the topic at the right time.
"Research on biological weapons against Tyranids has always been the research direction of many Forge World biological laboratories, but a distinctive feature of Tyranids is that their genes iterate very quickly. The fastest iteration cycle currently observed is... 43 minutes
, and the research cycle of a genetic weapon is usually... 148 years, so this type of weapon can often only be used once in a battle. The combat mode of Death Watch is mostly small-group infiltration operations, and will not carry out long-term operations.
During large-scale battles, they may use special warhead Tyranids because there are too few samples to make genetic corrections, but even so, their genetic weapons and biological weapons must be replaced frequently, so such weapons are in the Death Watch arsenal
The ratio is very low, and soldiers don’t like to use it.”
Nulus nodded slightly, recognizing what the sage said.
Soshyan walked to the glass cover, stared at the comatose poisonous smoke insect, and then sighed softly.
"That is to say, there is currently no solution, right?"
"We will invest more research efforts in the future."
