Chapter 520, come and steal

Within the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, no one can ignore the existence of the Mingyang Sect.

These oil guys suffered a big loss in the Iron Teeth War. Their pride, the precious Mechanical Ark, was destroyed in the war. Moreover, Jindi Star was directly attacked by the Iron-toothed Greenskins on the ground. This forging world was even the primary target of the Greenskins. The brutal ground war may not have lasted too long, but the intensity of the war was quite high.

This kind of war taking place in one's own core base camp is extremely destructive.

A large number of industrial facilities were damaged to varying degrees, and considerable personnel losses were caused, which greatly reduced the productivity of Jindi Star.

In addition to these basic things, the more serious loss was the loss of senior technical personnel in the war.

More than twenty ruling bishops died in the war. As for the upper level, which can be regarded as the upper echelon of Mingyang Sect, and the level of Main Industry Sage, there have been deaths.

The Mechanicus is very special in this aspect. As high-level personnel, they hold power and command military forces. When a war starts, they not only take the lead, but at least sit in the army. Many combat methods and war weapons in the Mechanicus indeed require high-level Mechanicus members to master, otherwise there will be problems in operation.

The ruling bishops, as well as the sages of the main profession, who have undergone extensive mechanical modifications and even directly control some war machines, actually have quite powerful combat capabilities.

However, although these ruling bishops and main business sages have the combined value of management, command, and high-end combat power, in the final analysis, their most important identity is still technical value.

Almost every person above the level of the ruling bishop masters a certain key technology that has a strong irreplaceable effect.

After their death, this technology will not be lost, and there will usually be some records. Since the person is dead anyway, there is no problem in looting his independent laboratory and workshop.

But to get the information, you have to re-master and re-learn, not to mention, if the information is damaged or missing, or the laboratory is simply destroyed in a previous war... these will cause losses in technical details. This in turn causes the production capacity of certain equipment to be affected.

Not only mass-produced equipment, but also the production of some precision products has been completely finished after losing these engine prophets, ruling bishops and even main industry sages.

The production of precision products requires top technicians like them to perform manual polishing and manufacturing. The reason why the so-called 'handmade' is put in quotation marks is because the heavily modified body of the senior member of the Mechanicus, and the mechanical arm that only protrudes from under the red robe, are much more powerful than conventional lathes and machines. More precise process technology is required.

Their body is essentially a high-precision integrated workbench.

And without a large number of senior members, the number of non-mass-produced precision products that symbolize the Mechanicus' heritage will also be greatly reduced.

Loss of production capacity, loss of technology, loss of personnel... The Iron Teeth Green Tide is a catastrophe for the Mechanicus.

And after winning the war, they didn't even get any benefits.

Don't look at it. After the war, the Mingyang Sect expanded its power from basically limited to Jindi Star to the entire Steel Fire Dragon Star District. By the way, it also occupied the surrounding Dragon Tamer and Dragon Pass Star Districts.

But in Gu Hang's opinion, it was an operation more focused on self-preservation.

As far as the Mechanicus is concerned, they don't actually care about territory. The first thing they care about most is technology; the second is precious raw materials; the third is production capacity...

Everything else must be pushed to the back.

After winning the Iron Teeth War, did they get enough supplements for these three parts?

No.

Expanding the control area is a must. They want to replenish the supply of raw materials and manpower from the places they occupy to ensure that the reconstruction and recovery of Jindi Star becomes smoother.

But they don't necessarily have to.

These planets were originally the most important raw material and manpower supply places for the Mingyang Sect.

However, during the green tide, these places were also invaded by green skins.

In order to eliminate the green skin's infringement on the source of raw materials and manpower as soon as possible, they went out to clean up everywhere.

Then, when the Alliance and the Raging Flames faced off, the Mingyang Sect had no interest in it. They just firmly occupied the sphere of influence that originally belonged to them, ignored the disturbances in the outside world, and only focused on licking their wounds.

Don't make any decisions, both of you. I won't help anyone. I'll kill anyone who messes with me.

That's about it.

Naturally, Wrath Flame and the Alliance would not offend them.

After the confrontation between the Alliance and Raging Flame ended, the Bright Sun Sect still occupied territory in three star regions. The Alliance had just taken over a large area of ​​the entire Dragon Eagle Star Territory at that time, and it was too late to digest these fruits. How could there be time to take advantage of the Mingyang Sect?
However, just because you don’t care about it for a while doesn’t mean you don’t care about it forever.

Steel Fire Dragon, Dragon Tamer, and Dragon Pass are all part of the administrative division of the Dragon Eagle Star Region. As a foundry world certified by the Mechanicum, Jindi Star has no affiliation with the star domain government. However, they are located within the star field after all, so it is impossible for them to have no contact with each other.

In fact, Gu Hang has ambitions for Jin Di Xing.

It's not that Gu Hang wants to brave the world and seize and control Jindi Star.

It's neither possible nor necessary.

However, as a serious foundry world, Jindi Star is the strongest in the entire star field in terms of production capacity.

The Mingyang Sect is not famous for its shipbuilding industry, but the shipbuilding industry currently developed by the alliance is nothing more than similar to that of Jindi Star.

They have announced that they will restart the construction of Ark Mechanical; and they have suspended all external orders. The two shipyards building battlecruisers and eight cruiser shipyards are operating at full capacity. The ships built will be retained in the new fleet. in.

The Mingyang Sect has indeed not suffered such serious damage directly for many, many years.

After this experience, they decided to learn a lesson.

External orders are nonsense, the most important thing is that you are strong!
If the Mingyang Sect had not sold out every battle cruiser it had produced in the past, leaving six or seventy-eight more ships in its fleet, would it have been so miserable during the Iron Teeth Green Tide?
Absolutely not!

The situation is similar for other production capacities.

On Jindi Star, what is most severely controlled now is the construction of starships.

Other production capacities will not completely stop accepting external orders, but at least they will be significantly reduced. The Mingyang Sect is determined to significantly strengthen its military strength until they feel safe. Moreover, a considerable part of their production capacity has to be invested in the reconstruction of their own planet, and they are not that wealthy to accept external orders.

But Gu Hang's headache was caused by this.

He has a lot of money now. Not only the financial revenue of the alliance and the saved imperial taxes, but also the war support given by the Eastern Space Territory. With this money, he hopes that the Mechanicus can produce some equipment for the alliance.

Especially starships.

However, after many communications and exchanges, the Mingyang Sect decisively rejected the alliance's need to purchase ships. Even if Wu Jiarong is there to mediate, it won't work.

……

All these pieces of information were revealed by Wu Jiarong through repeated communications with the alliance and Gu Hang.

Her current status is incredible.

Back then, when she was sent by Gu Hang to the Mingyang Sect for 'exchange and study', she obtained the official identity certification in the Mingyang Sect and became the ruling bishop of the Zheng'er Ba Jing.

It stands to reason that this was Wu Jiarong's ultimate goal when he came to Jindi Star.

After becoming the ruling bishop, she should return to the Alliance and continue to preside over the work of the Alliance's secret research institute. By the way, she can start planning to establish a small Mechanicus sect belonging to the Alliance.

The ruling bishop barely has such qualifications.

However, no one expected that the Iron Teeth War would break out so suddenly and progress so quickly.

The east and west are isolated within the Star Territory. Wu Jiarong cannot come back, so she can only hang out with the Mingyang Sect.

As a ruling bishop, of course she also participated in this war.

And the performance was very, very impressive.

The many unique techniques she mastered allowed her to gain a large number of supporters during the war, and she was also appreciated by the foundry general Chen Haixu, who gave her a lot of additional resource support.

And with the help of this support, she built strong armies one after another, and led them to fight many battles with good results.

After Wu Jiarong's achievements and reputation became more and more grand, she soon discovered that she might even take this opportunity to take a step forward and be promoted from the status of a ruling bishop to the level of a sage in a short period of time.

This is already the title within the Mechanicus, second only to the Great Sage.

There is no real great sage in the entire Mingyang Sect. Those who need to go to the solar system or the world of Mars and obtain recognition and assessment from the Mechanicus Headquarters can be promoted.

In fact, the main business sage also needs to go through this process. However, the Mingyang Sect has a quota of eleven main business sages. If the quota is not exceeded, the main business sages elected within the sect can also be recognized.

In the past, an outsider like Wu Jiarong would never have tried to grab such a rare spot, no matter how great his achievements were.

But didn’t it mean that many sages of the main profession died during the war, leaving a lot of positions vacant, and many ruling bishops who were qualified to fight for these positions also died?

This makes Wu Jiarong hopeful.

Chen Haixu hinted to Wu Jiarong more than once that as long as Wu Jiarong promised not to return to the alliance and stay in Jindi Star wholeheartedly, the position of the main industry sage could be given to Wu Jiarong.

Wu Jiarong agreed without hesitation on the surface.

She made a judgment in her heart at that time, and it was impossible for her to react in any other way in front of Chen Haixu.

Otherwise it would be too abnormal.

In his 'hometown', in such a serious forging world as Jin Dixing, how big a temptation is this for a member of the Mechanicus to have the title of a sage whose main profession is his?

As long as the identity of the ruling bishop is enough, there are many ruling bishops on Jindi Star, and there are dozens or hundreds of people, so their preciousness is limited; when going outside, such as the alliance, there are at most two or three ruling bishops, and their status is not Same.

Some ruling bishops who do not want to continue to roll in the forging world will indeed choose to jump out.

But the main business sages are different.

Once Wu Jiarong becomes the main business sage, he will become one of the eleven highest-ranking people on Jindi Planet and the real ruler.

According to common sense, if she hesitates at all, she will look very fake.

However, she knew clearly that she could not leave the alliance so simply. The secrets she knew about Governor Gu were too important. Once she left, Governor Gu would definitely kill her.

All it takes is a thought. Her soul had long been sold to Governor Gu.

As long as he is obsessed with betrayal and dares to betray her, Gu Hang can easily erase her soul without any loss: with so many black boxes, if she can be cultivated, another high-ranking member of the Mechanicus can be cultivated immediately.

Moreover, even if there was no such thing, she didn't want to leave the alliance that much.

She was once just a low-level technician who could be kicked out of the forging world at will. What made her grow up in just twenty years?
They are the countless black boxes that Governor Gu keeps in his hands.

She feels she still has room for improvement.

Everyone thinks that the fastest progress must be made in the forging world, but she knows that the fastest progress must be in the alliance's secret research institute.

Although she had studied many black boxes owned by the alliance in the past, she knew that Governor Gu would be able to come up with a new one every once in a while. Moreover, the technologies represented by these new black boxes are often constantly improving.

After leaving the alliance for so long, she didn't know what kind of black boxes Governor Gu had obtained, and she felt extremely itchy.

Therefore, after having to agree to Chen Haixu in person, Wu Jiarong immediately reported the text message to Gu Hang and found an opportunity to have a star language call with Gu Hang.

During the call, she fully expressed her loyalty and said in a very sincere manner that she would completely follow Gu Hang's instructions on what to do next.

Gu Hang was actually not worried that Wu Jiarong would leak the secret.

She can't.

Gu Hang had already processed her soul when he let her go to the Mingyang Sect.

But now, when he knew that Wu Jiarong had a chance to go further, Gu Hang rejected the idea of ​​picking up Wu Jiarong and sneaking out.

He asked Wu Jiarong to accept Chen Haixu's conditions and become one of the eleven main industry sages of Jin Dixing.

Since the Mingyang Sect cannot be defeated by conventional means, why not use other methods to 'steal' Jin Di Xing?
