Chapter 411, Don’t be too honest

Jue Saturn and his team gave Gu Hang strength. There is a long-term risk (Iron Armor Chapter), and there is a threat that may break out in the near future (the Ashes of the Dead).

Regardless of what is far away, the reason why the Ashes Dead is a close threat is because since Blevins and his gang can come to them, Zhong Jihua and his gang can too.

Gu Hang was a little annoyed.

However, now that the tone of responding to the crisis through development has been set, the focus must still be placed here.

And in the alliance, what is the biggest development booster?

Of course, those are the gift points in Gu Hang’s hand.

The last time I spent a lot of gift points was four years ago.

At that time, it was mainly the shipbuilding industry that boosted the alliance, which directly created the current industry.

And now, four years have passed. Although the alliance has not had any large-scale wars during this period, Gu Hang's control has now stabilized within the scope of the entire Pegasus sector, and the total population has reached 610 billion. . In the past four years, the average life expectancy of the population under the alliance has increased, the fertility rate has not changed, and the key is that the death rate has dropped significantly. These reasons have brought about a very high level of population growth.

Coupled with the improvement of living standards...

These factors, population size, population quality, average living standards and happiness, productivity level... are all reasons that have a strong positive correlation with Gu Hang's monthly gift point income.

Faches Three Stars and Red Arrow Stars also have a larger population carrying space.

But all in all, Gu Hang's cumulative monthly income in the past four years has exceeded one million.

Four years ago, before he won the Flying Wing Star, the Falchers Star, and the Red Arrow Star, Gu Hang's gift point income was 7,000. That still pushed Koroja's situation up a lot before returning to the previous level. The level when only controlling the Raging Owl Star and Black Arrow Star.

The main uses are basically for 'people' and 'buildings'.

But the alliance is not afraid.

Such high population growth is something the world is quite afraid of.

A full 4.5 times improvement.

Koruga will continue to emigrate.

Many college templates, factory templates, and even church buildings were exchanged and given to corresponding buildings in the real world to play a role.

The Wing Star's education system is open to the entire star region, and the higher quality of the population has boosted the alliance's productivity.

This also caused Gu Hang's monthly income to soar directly.

Outside of population, the alliance's productivity has been improving over the years.

He activated more heroes, spent a lot of gift points on the political commissar training at Zhongsi Academy, and also spent a lot on army training. He also occasionally exchanged some gene seeds, and filtered out the basic training templates of military cards. personnel to replenish the Space Marines with new blood...

If the population increases too much, then when the next time the world population and additional taxes are determined, it will all be money.

More people is a good thing.

The Alliance population rose by approximately one billion during this period.

However, although he didn't spend a lot of money in one go, Gu Hang spent 60 of it one after another in the past four years.

Now, this number has grown to thirty-two thousand.

Of course, this number is rising gradually, not all at once, and the growth rate has slowed down a lot recently.

It is precisely because of these investments that there has been high growth.

Whether it is the increase in alliance income or the increase in gift point income.

And now, it's time to use the more than 400,000 points of gifts left in his hands in batches.

First, he planned 20 points on the Space Marines.

With the continuous increase in the past, the number of Phoenix Space Marines has reached more than 200 people.

But this time, two hundred thousand points were smashed down, and the number of phoenixes rose directly to 500.

Except for the gene seeds directly exchanged by Gu Hang, the first batch of new blood from the Phoenix in the past five years has already passed, and the first seeds on the body have matured and been harvested.

Originally, Martins was still thinking about whether to keep some of these gene seeds to prepare for the subsequent gene seed taxes that Phoenix would have to pay.

After asking Gu Hang about this idea, he was speechless.

The gene seed tax collected by the empire is calculated based on how many new gene seeds the war group has produced in the past ten years. This can be calculated: in the past ten years, how many new bloods have grown to the five-year stage, and how many old soldiers have sacrificed, that is the total number of gene seeds in the past ten years, one-tenth of which is enough.

Under normal circumstances, it is not too difficult for the empire to obtain this information. Generally speaking, the loyalty of Space Marines is guaranteed. They will report a number themselves, and the empire will accept it if it is almost the same. It is actually a bit difficult to monitor. The number of people killed in battle is easy to say. After all, generally speaking, The Space Marines will not fight alone, and other Imperial armies will probably have some knowledge of the situation; the development of new blood is really difficult to monitor.

But it doesn't matter, the empire won't be so strict. The Adeptus Mechanicus and the Space Marine Management Organization will look at the total number of people in a war group, calculate an average, and use conventional experience to calculate how many seeds you can make in ten years - for a war group with a thousand people, it will usually be five in ten years. If you get to ten seeds, if something big happens, you'll have to pay extra - the number you turn in is about the same.

Only when the quantitative deviation is extremely large, the empire will intervene.

Now the question is, how does the empire know how many Phoenix people there are currently?

The last time information was reported, there were only seven Phoenixes. According to common sense, after a few years, the number of phoenixes will not be large no matter how they grow.

Under Gu Hang, the conventional experience of the Adeptus Mechanicus and Space Marine management organizations was of no use.

The empire has very little information about the Phoenix situation. As long as you don't go beeping, it will be difficult for the empire to know how many people there are in the war group and how much tax they have to pay. Isn't it up to you?

Now, it is almost ten years. When the time comes, if you say that you have a hundred people, it will only make sense to hand over a seed.

In the end, you, Martins, really want to pay according to the actual situation?

That’s a lot to pay. Four to five hundred new bloods will be handed over for five years, and forty or fifty seeds will have to be handed in... Aren’t you asking for trouble for yourself?

Do you really abide by the rules? You are really loyal to the empire. Now that you are like this, do you still want to pay the gene seed tax in full?

No wonder you can't beat Iron Armor. But Gu Hang didn’t tell Martins so directly.

He responded by saying that none of the new seeds produced by the new blood of the battle group should be kept, and all of them should be used to develop new warriors. Moreover, Gu Hang will follow the usual method and use the military training system to select young, T1-level talents and perform implant surgeries on them.

The success rate of Phoenix's gene seed implantation surgery is quite high. Over the years, out of a total of 9 surgeries, only 98 have failed, with a success rate of %.

There are two main reasons for such a high success rate:

First, Phoenix Seed is not that challenging.

The second and most core thing is that every candidate has been trained to the T1 level at the appropriate age. Physical fitness, experience, and skills are all up to standard, and there is no problem with mental and willpower. As long as the individual is undergoing surgery and the compatibility between his own condition and the Phoenix Seed is not ridiculously low, he is unlikely to fail.

Relying on the gene seeds produced by the new blood and the seeds exchanged by Gu Hang, the number of Phoenixes has now increased to 500, which can be regarded as a recovery.

In the future, Gu Hang may no longer even need to exchange gene seeds for the phoenixes. After all, the war group's personnel structure is very special. They are all made up of new blood. The number of new seeds they have produced in five years is even greater than that of many full-man war groups. Coupled with the super high success rate of implantation operations, Gu Hang really won't need to spend extra money on seeds in the future. If he keeps growing, the number will increase quickly.

At this point, the Phoenix certainly can't be said to be very powerful, but at least it looks like a normal war group.

Many Space Marine chapters that have been in war for a long time and are in poor condition may be of this size.

As for their missing Chapter Fleet, Chapter Servants, Mortal Auxiliary Army, Armored Vehicles and Aviation Vehicles, Gu Hang currently has no way to provide them all in one fell swoop. But there is no doubt that their next actions will not be fought individually as a battle group, but will definitely be together with the alliance's army. Relevant war needs can be provided and made up for by the alliance's military.

Although the armored vehicles driven by mortals are not as effective as some proprietary armored vehicles that can provide special neural connections to space warriors, they still solve the problem of whether or not.

Even if Gu Hang now wants to equip space warriors with exclusive armored vehicles, it will be quite difficult. The Rhino personnel carrier can be produced, but the Raider tank is really not produced, let alone things like the Dreadnought mecha and the Apocalypse mecha.

If you want to get it, you have to rely on outsourcing.

But outsourcing...that's just not worth it.

If the alliance produces its own products, what is actually consumed is the cost price. To put it bluntly, it is the working hours of the personnel, the raw materials, and the food and daily necessities paid to the workers... Although the prices reflected in the alliance's books are still calculated using the empire's standard prices. , the budget is so much, but in fact it doesn’t cost that much at all.

If you outsource it, you really have to consume the alliance's tax currency, and you can't lose even a dime. Even something with a relatively high technical content will most likely have a considerable premium.

We can only make do with this for now.

……

After 20 were thrown at the phoenixes, and it was expected that the number of phoenixes would be increased to , he would not be too worried about the problem of the ashes of the dead.

That Chaos warband was able to support more than two hundred Space Marines to death. He had prepared about 2.5 times the quantity. Even if the dead from ashes rushed to his face and caused trouble, Gu Hang would still have enough strength to deal with it.

If they had arrived a little slower, a few years later, they might have faced a standard battle group full of thousands of people.

When the time comes, Gu Hang really wants to see what expression Zhong Jihua will have on his face.

Aren’t you eager for the blood of the phoenix?

There are a thousand bloodlines lying around here, come and get them if you have the ability.

Of course, the 20 gift points thrown at the Phoenix also brought nearly 4 T2-T level senior soldiers.

Although these people are by-products, they cannot be said to be without value. As usual, part of it was stuffed into the 10th Brigade, and the other part was thrown into some units with special designations, such as the 1st Breathing Wind Brigade, the 2nd Beast Slayer Brigade, or several skeleton divisions.

The number of the 10th Brigade is tens of thousands, all of them are elite, and they are fully equipped with special equipment, so I won’t go into details. The other divisions and brigade units have deployed elite soldiers and generals, and have even formed all T4 level personnel, plus comprehensive Replace exoskeleton armor and LR series and GHS series rifles, plus more armor and firepower ratios.

Such a unit could defeat an enemy twenty times the size of an ordinary Astra Militarum army.

But the key point is that such troops do not compete with the enemy on the battlefield, but are deployed on key battlefields and play a key role in the overall battle situation.

In short, this also greatly strengthened the alliance's function in military construction.

As for the remaining 200,000 gift points, Gu Hang thought about it and took out 100,000 for the technology lottery.

In this level of 10,000 gift points, it is far from being drained. However, after the previous draw, the probability of shipment now is definitely far worse than at the beginning.

However, if one hundred thousand points of gifts are thrown away, there will always be some splashes.

Upgraded technologies such as some advanced construction machinery and some less important technologies will not be mentioned in detail.

Among these ten consecutive draws, one of the more important gains is the elite-level technology [power weapon].

The power sword in Martins' hand belongs to this type of weapon.

This kind of thing is, to exaggerate, indestructible. In this universe, except for a few materials that cannot be mass-produced, there is almost nothing in conventional armor that can withstand the attack of power weapons.

Moreover, it is not just power swords, such as 'Thunder Hammer', 'Force Field Scepter', and 'Power Gloves' which are often equipped on Terminator armor... These are all within the category of power weapons. inside.

Power weapons are not only applicable to Space Marines.

Just like many of the elite warriors of the Alliance's 10th Brigade use chain swords, power weapons can also be used by mortals after some modifications and adaptations. Just don't make them so big and heavy.

And if you want to further increase the power of the weapons, these power weapons can also be made into sophisticated versions. Although the cost will increase significantly and it will be difficult to mass produce, it doesn't matter. This was originally equipped for cutting-edge combat forces. The goal is to be of greater use when dealing with some powerful individuals.

At this point, Gu Hang had consumed 300,000 points of gifts.

The remaining 100,000 he had on hand was to be used as a reserve fund in case of emergencies.
