Chapter 397, Visit of the Mechanicus

Chapter 397, Visit of the Mechanicus

The alliance's handling of the Winged Stars is actually similar to that of the Farches Three Stars to some extent.

Stable currency reform, nationalization reform of key industries, welfare policies covering state-owned enterprises and government personnel, and finally extending the ranks to all people and all industries, transforming private enterprises with no guarantees into private entrepreneurial enterprises with the characteristics of an alliance system... …

The Flying Wing Star seemed to be much more developed than the Farches Three Stars, but after the alliance actually took over both places, they found that the gap was not as big as imagined.

The development degree of Fachus's three-star is 2, and it was barely raised to 3, and he was already crying for his father;

Feiyingxing is still having a good time with a level 5 development speed.

The biggest difference between the two places lies in the shipyard. This is a profit of around 25 billion a year, and Faches has no place to make up for it;

Coupled with the money that Feiyingxing received from the district government and various academies, especially the Naval Academy, and earned money, it directly covered the imperial tax, and even made him rich.

Apart from these aspects, Flying Wing Star is only better than Fachus Samsung in terms of natural environmental conditions. The overall productivity and social civilization level are not much different.

In this case, the alliance can completely peel off the three major parts of the shipyard, administration, and education, and apply the policies of Fachus Samsung to the remaining parts with some fine-tuning.

The situation in shipyards is relatively simple. As long as the shipyards and various supporting factories can continue to operate, maintain production capacity, and ensure that workers' benefits are guaranteed under the rank system, then there will not be a big problem with acceptance.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

The difficulty of taking over the shipyard is not even as big as the subsequent process reforms.

For some old craftsmen in the shipyard, Feiyingxing has been manufacturing starships of various sizes for hundreds of years. You guys, a bunch of so-called technical experts who came from Raging Owl and from the so-called Alliance, are just a bunch of idiots who came to teach us how to build ships?

Isn't that a joke?

However, with the advancement of power, the initial changes were reluctantly passed - of course, it was also because some more enlightened 'old masters' did find that these improvements had some merit, so let's try it try.

Then, in this trial, facts speak louder than words.

Higher quality, lower cost, higher production efficiency... these things are real, cannot be faked, and can be seen immediately.

The mechanics from the Raging Star Shipyard immediately gained support.

At the same time, there is also a looming exploration.

In the Pegasus Star Region, the Mechanicus does not have too much power. Their forging world is not here. They have not established a Mechanicus Church or clear institution in the Pegasus Star Region.

However, throughout the empire, the influence of the Mechanicus is everywhere, even penetrating into the ordinary.

The most common titles, such as junior specialist and technical specialist, are widely used in many factories and even the army. Some of them graduated from certain technical colleges and obtained certificates; some passed examinations at a later stage. They may not have a strong religious background, but whether it is a technical college or some technical association that issues certificates to them, this qualification is applied to a foundry world.

The teachings of serious technical colleges include the content of mechanical theology; the examinations of technical associations also include theological knowledge assessment and theological exposition content. The more advanced the examination, the more difficult it is.

And what is Forge World? What can be called this name is a world completely controlled by the Mechanicus. The Forge World does not even pay Imperial taxes. The official statement is that both the Forge World and the home world of the Space Marines are serving the Empire in another way, so they do not need to pay Imperial taxes.

This statement is also correct. The Forge World created most of the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army, most of the construction work, and most of the naval ships. In the Astra Militarum, there are countless technical specialists and Mechanic Priests from the Mechanic Sect who accompany the army to handle ordnance. , and even personally participated in the battle; the Skitarii and the Titan Legion belonging to the Mechanicus were simply the main force of the empire that could not be ignored.

But if we take a deeper look, it may be a bit shallow to just understand that the Mechanicus does not have to pay taxes because it assumes these responsibilities.

Some say—just some say—that the Imperial emblem is the double-headed eagle, with Holy Terra on one end and the Forge World of Mars on the other.

Whether this is true or not, it at least illustrates a very important issue: they do not pay taxes, not because of payment, but because of their special status; they pay for the Empire, not because they have any obligations, but because the Mechanicus can almost It is considered the most important original shareholder of the empire.

Only people like Gu Hang, who have redeveloped from a dead world like Raging Owl, are not too infected by the Mechanicus - but even so, the most trusted technical expert under his command, Ms. Wu Jiarong, is also a Mechanicus. Origin: The newly-built technical colleges on the Raging Owl and Black Arrow planets issued technical certificates, all of which were 'pheasant' certificates, and no one recognized them outside.

Moreover, this matter cannot last long. In fact, Wu Jiarong already had a plan to go to the nearest foundry world, Jindi Star, to get this matter done.

Jin Dixing belongs to the Mingyang Sect under the Mechanicus.

The Mingyang Sect is not famous among the complex church factions within the Mechanicus, but it is not a particularly small sect. Their influence in the entire Eastern Universe is the highest among sects.

Within the Tianma Star District, all professional certificates have a small, bright yellow round sun surrounding a fire symbol. This is the symbol of the Mingyang Sect.

In theory, the Wing Star Shipyard has nothing to do with the Mechanicus, but in such a technology-intensive industry, how can it escape its influence?

There is even a ruling bishop in the shipyard. Although he does not preach, but only works as a technical expert and technical consultant, he must wear a red robe when traveling, must hang the brand of the Mechanicus on his body, and carry scriptures. His heavily modified body makes him look inhuman. Yet 'sacred'.

At least it's sacred by Mechanicum standards.

Going down, there are not so many Engine Seers, but there are a lot of Mechanic Priests.

In the past, the alliance was a "little fight". Even if it took out something like a war dog titan on the battlefield of Koroga, it was actually not too serious. Although the Forge World doesn't sell many Titans, it still sells some; as for the technology of the Titans produced, it is a secret that is not confidential - it is unclear whether the leakage of technology is prohibited, but in fact, it is rarely seen outside the Mechanicum. Has the production capacity of a Titan.

The scale of the alliance was still small, and War Dogs did not appear many times. However, despite this, it still attracted the attention of interested people, but this attention did not have any direct impact on Gu Hang.

However, this kind of time of just watching and no action will not last long.

People are staring just to get some action.

But now, add to the starship construction capabilities, Gu Hang directly set up a shipyard on the Raging Owl, which is even more eye-catching.

Starship manufacturing is not monopolized by the Forge World like Titan manufacturing. However, just in terms of technical content and industrial scale, starship manufacturing is a more advanced and complex industry than War Dog Titan construction.

Being able to build a starship is no small matter.

What's more, the starship manufacturing technology of Angry Star seems to have many unique features. It can even provide some guidance to established shipyards like Feiyi Star, so this cannot be ignored.

After the alliance took over the shipyard, they arrested five sneaky people within two days. They peeped out and inspected the alliance's renovation project of the shipyard when no one was around.

To be honest, the current alliance's control over the Flying Star Shipyard is not very high. Even if it was able to catch so many people, the number of people who were not caught would probably be a hundred times a thousand times more. A few days later, Gu Hang received an expected visitor.

Wang Zhaoran, the ruling bishop of the Mingyang Sect of the Mechanicus and the foundry consultant of the Flying Wing Star Shipyard.

What is supposed to come will come.

In fact, Wang Zhaoran's arrival was much gentler than Gu Hang initially thought.

There was no questioning or further drastic action. Wang Zhaoran just performed his duties in the shipyard and at the same time, he politely sent a meeting application to Gu Hang, the leader of the sector.

The reason for the meeting was also clearly stated, it was for the new technology at Feiyixing Shipyard.

The person's intention seemed fair and aboveboard, but it gave Gu Hang no room to refuse.

It’s not that I really can’t refuse, but why?

He is the foundry consultant and the ruling bishop of the Mechanicus.

When you see new technologies, isn’t it natural to ask about the sources of these technologies?

On the contrary, if Gu Hang chooses to refuse, it will appear that he is guilty.

Although he does feel a little guilty.

However, Gu Hang also made plans for such expected events.

After confirming the meeting time, Gu Hang also called in his most important technical expert, Ms. Wu Jiarong.

Taking over the Feiyingxing Shipyard is a major event for the alliance, and there is no room for technical mistakes. Wu Jiarong came here in person with the technical team she had trained personally to handle shipyard matters.

It was just right for her to face Wang Zhaoran.

At the beginning of the meeting, Gu Hang was also there. But soon, he found another reason and left the scene, leaving Wu Jiarong and Wang Zhaoran, two people with technical backgrounds, to talk on their own.

Of course, Gu Hang was fully capable of monitoring the content of the conversation. He also has full trust in Wu Jiarong, and Ms. Wu will not talk nonsense.

This was what Gu Hang had already thought about earlier, how to deal with a series of technical sources such as black boxes that he could not explain: put them all on Wu Jiarong's head.

No matter what, let's just say that Wu Jiarong researched it. She knew these and brought these technical abilities to the Raging Owl Star and helped the development of the alliance.

As for how Wu Jiarong learned these techniques, it was the inspiration from the God of All Machines, the divine inspiration she received during prayer, plus some knowledge she already knew, and she integrated it all.

This sounds ridiculous, but it's not completely impossible.

And Wu Jiarong indeed dealt with Wang Zhaoran according to these arguments that had been prepared long ago.

The two people actually didn't talk about this issue for a long time. Later, more content will still be carried out on technical exchanges.

In this regard, Wu Jiarong will not have any problems. For so many years, she had been alone in a sea of ​​countless black boxes. She gained a lot of research experience and her level gradually increased. Now, when it comes to saying that she has knowledge and skills at the level of a ruling bishop, there may be a slight gap. After all, she is not yet fully versed in many technologies. However, if it is just a theory, just an academic discussion, she will not have any problems.

After so many years of research, some of the technical ideas and ideas she put forward were very groundbreaking and inspiring for Wang Zhaoran.

There was even a clear hint of excitement in the mechanical voice of the ruling bishop.

The two chatted for a long time, and when they finally left, Wang Zhaoran still had some unfinished thoughts.

He took advantage of the situation and invited Wu Jiarong to go to the shipyard the next day to have a detailed discussion.

Wu Jiarong readily agreed.

Then, he mentioned that he wanted to visit the Raging Owl Star, especially Wu Jiarong's research center.

Wu Jiarong also agreed.

What's not to come?

I felt guilty before, but now, all the black boxes are hidden in the Kingdom of Storm God. As long as Gu Hang doesn't want to, who can break into his territory in the subspace and overturn his old reputation?

If you want to go see it, then go ahead and go see it openly.

In fact, if the ruling bishop made any request for exchange students in the future, Gu Hang would be ready to agree directly.

Not afraid.

After seeing Wang Zhao off, Wu Jiarong said to Gu Hang, "He must still have doubts."

"Let him put his doubts aside. No matter what we do, we can't dispel these doubts, can we?"

"really."

"Then do it openly. These things are very troublesome and even dangerous. However, it has already reached this level. Shouldn't we not use it because of the risk? That is even more impossible."

Wu Jiarong nodded. She faced Gu Hang and said, "Now, Mr. Governor, you are not what you used to be. Back then, perhaps just because of a suspicion, there would have been a recovery fleet of the Mechanicus to the Raging Owl Star and take us away. Their territory has been turned upside down. But now, your status has forced the Mechanicus, which has always been maverick, to treat it with caution. Without clear evidence, they will not go too far openly. As for private methods , we are not afraid.”

After thinking for a while, she continued to add: "I look forward to the alliance becoming stronger in the future. At that time, even if we use the black ideas openly, people will not dare to comment."
