If you’re familiar with science fiction and enjoy playing games, you should not find the name "Warhammer" unfamiliar.

This war game tabletop series created by a British tabletop game company is known for its grand setting and intricate design and has a considerable number of enthusiasts around the world.

The entire Warhammer series is divided into the Medieval era, the 30K era, and the 40K era. The Medieval era has a fantasy setting, which greatly differs from the 30K and 40K eras’ space opera-style science fiction themes.

Chen Xin, as an online writer, is also an enthusiast of Warhammer, but he mainly enjoys the science fiction series of 30K and 40K. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In these two series, human civilization has developed to an incredible level, with the empire’s territory spread across the entire galaxy, a population numbering in the trillions, fleets outnumbering the stars, and enormous legions recorded only by designation in casualty lists, fighting relentlessly with countless enemies capable of destroying the entire galaxy.

Among the entire lineup of the human empire, the most famous and distinctive are undoubtedly the Space Marines.

The eighteen unique Space Marine Chapters and their combat prowess akin to semi-divine beings undoubtedly make Space Marines the absolute protagonists of the Warhammer series.

Each of the eighteen Space Marine Chapters has unique appearances and Chapter features, and the one Chen Xin likes the most is undoubtedly the Space Wolves, whose prototype comes from Vikings.

Their slightly primitive and rugged aura, Viking characteristic design, and wolf-like combat style make this Chapter extremely distinctive even among the eighteen Space Marine Chapters.

In the background setting of the Space Wolves, their most distinctive and legendary feature is their Wolf Gene.

This unique gene, obtained through oral pharmaceutical means, causes drastic changes in the Space Wolves’ warriors both mentally and physically, increasing body size by 80%, reshaping most of their skeletons, growing lush hair and massive wolf fangs, and possibly transforming them into "Werewolves."

Not only does it change their form, but warriors possessing the Wolf Gene also harbor savagery and bloodlust deep in their souls. Though they can usually suppress it through training and rationality, it resurfaces as instinct under extreme pressure and roaring battles on the battlefield.

What Chen Xin wanted to do was to create a real-life version of the Space Wolves.

They are true semi-divine beings, whose sheer physical strength is enough to oppose an entire army, and it is said that a single squad of Space Marines is enough to suppress a planetary rebellion.

Of course, due to the background setting, the modification technology of Space Marines carries a considerable degree of mysterious essence, including their birth, manufacturing, growth, and combat processes, all influenced by mysterious elements, which are almost impossible to replicate in the real world.

Moreover, it’s crucial to note that the Warhammer 30K and 40K series settings are set in a distant future, thousands of years from now, where human technology has developed to an unimaginable stage, making it very difficult to realistically replicate such distinct entities as Space Marines, especially Space Wolves.

Even with the assistance of a system, it’s difficult for Chen Xin to achieve, especially in terms of equipping each modified warrior with a full set of gear, nor does he have hundreds of years to wait for them to grow.

But if it’s just a certain degree of replication, such as through the implantation of the Wolf Gene to enable ordinary soldiers to quickly grow their physiques and have powerful combat abilities, it is still quite feasible.

This is exactly what Chen Xin wanted to do.

Genetic modification technology and the manufacture of the Wolf Gene is not something Chen Xin cannot achieve.

Although the system’s upgrade feature can’t be used on humans or other animals and doesn’t even affect plants, it is still capable of manufacturing an instrument that can conduct genetic modification or genetic compilation.

Chen Xin only needs to manufacture the relevant instrument and then use it to create the Wolf Gene as well as the Genetic Seed required for the nineteen surgical modifications of Space Marines, thus being able to replicate the existence of Space Marines, comparable to semi-divine beings, in reality.

Even the most ordinary Space Marine stands taller than the giant Yao Ming, with a physique even more robust and muscular than the great shark O’Neal.

Imagine a group of warriors over two meters tall, with robust physiques akin to Wolverine, appearing on the battlefield, equipped with powerful weapons and armor—how terrifying would that be?

Someone might think, why would we need such formidable warriors in the current environment? Every nation must take care of its own; who would initiate war at a time like this? Is there a need for such powerful soldiers?

To this question, Chen Xin only wants to answer with one sentence: having no sword and having one that is unused are two different matters.

And indeed, perhaps every country now really is preoccupied, but the more that’s the case, the more careful one should be, because there will always be those who, unable to survive, will act recklessly and desperately.

Ordinary small countries are not frightening, but the northern bear of the Flame Country is certainly not a pushover.

Among the five rogue powers, the history of wars between it and the Flame Country is more than once. That country sandwiched between the two was originally Flame Country’s territory, forcibly split apart by the northern bear to become a so-called nation!

Perhaps due to the changes of time, the two countries had times as close as brothers, and relations are friendly now, but when faced with a nation’s survival, any hope placed in an enemy’s goodwill is akin to massacring their own country’s people.

Moreover, it is vital that Space Marines are designed for combat in space environments; their physical strengths are extremely formidable enough to withstand any harsh environment.

Especially Space Wolves, who live on a planet where half the year the seas are frozen, the immense power endowed by the Wolf Gene even allows them to stride across thousand-mile ice plains.

In such a situation, having a force capable of combating extreme environments is great not just for warfare but also for disaster relief, as our country’s army has a long-standing tradition of leading rescue efforts.

After carefully considering, ensuring his thinking was correct, Chen Xin then organized his thoughts, deciding to make the creation of Space Wolves his next undertaking, and pondering how to commence it.
