Chapter 143 The crisis is coming
Deep underground in the Spire Mansion.
After Carter's reminder, Ron searched the mansion and found this top-secret laboratory several kilometers underground.
This place has been closed for several years, and the door to the passage has long been covered with dust.
The Grant family has been secretly conducting genetic engineering experiments, and the content of their experiments has long exceeded the scope of what the empire can tolerate.
Unfortunately, the experiment encountered a bottleneck at a certain stage.
As a result, a large number of guards who participated in the transformation experiment died.
And because of the tithe tax, the magistrate of the Ministry of Justice was provoked.
The former governor had to completely close the laboratory and deal with a group of related personnel.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's imagination.
The Inquisitor's team was attacked, and the Inquisitor was attracted.
This caused a greater disaster to the planet Erth, and the former governor died as a result.
Since then, the laboratory has been almost forgotten.
As the successor, Ron knew nothing about it.
"Cheap old man is quite courageous..."
As more and more things are revealed, Ron discovers that the former Governor is no simple man.
At least not as kind as he imagined.
But it’s also true that the governor’s family, which has been in control of the planet Erth for more than three thousand years, could come up with such a simple person.
If you didn't have some courage and means, you would have been eaten up long ago.
This is a good thing, at least it left him a lot of legacy.
Ron came to the door of the passage and put his hand into the detection machine. Only the blood of the Grant family could open this alloy door.
Click.
The needle in the detection machine quickly penetrates the fingertip to draw blood.
The test passed with a beep and the green light turned on.
Boom——
The door opens.
After passing through a long corridor full of agencies.
Ron was finally able to enter the laboratory.
There is no one left in the huge laboratory, and there are only dozens of servitors doing basic maintenance work.
After questioning the servitor, he went straight to the laboratory's freezer.
There he saw what he had dreamed of.
"The Grant family is so audacious, secretly hiding so many gene seeds..."
Ron was surprised by what he saw.
He couldn't help but admire:
"But I like it. Thanks to dad, these things are all mine!"
Inside the freezer are rows of octopus-like glandular organs, known as gene seeds.
This batch of gene seeds should come from different battle groups.
He didn't quite understand which ones they were.
Geneseed is the colloquial term for genetic engineering, broadly referring to the set of genetic material needed to create a Space Marine.
It is essentially a series of germ cells and virus-like protein machines that, after complex genetic engineering, can develop into various organs.
By implanting gene seeds into the human body, those biological researchers can transform ordinary humans into super genetic warriors.
Also known as Space Marines or Astartes.
Gene-seed is considered one of the most precious resources by all major Space Marine Chapters.
As long as conditions permit, each war group will recycle the gene storage glands of sacrificed warriors after the battle.
Nowadays, the gene seed storage situation of various war groups is not optimistic, and many mutations have occurred.
Many Chapters have mutated to the point where they need to be purged.
Even the Black Dragon Chapter has horns on their heads due to the mutation of their gene seeds.
The war group did not dare to hand over the mutated gene seeds.
Who knows whether it will be handed over to the supply team or the Inquisition after it is turned in.
In order to collect enough gene seed tax.
Those war groups had to ask other brother war groups for clean seeds, or the Rogue Traders of the Black Ship to buy them.
The more radical ones may go and kill the renegade warriors to plunder the gene seeds.
This situation has made gene seeds more and more precious, and has given rise to an industrial chain of gene seed smuggling.
Many lawless Rogue Traders joined the ranks.
It is estimated that this batch of genetic seeds of the Grant family were obtained through the smuggling channel of the black ship.
The other war group obtained some gene seeds from the black ship, which was regarded as official smuggling.
And when others do this, it is a heinous sin.
I really don’t know how the Grant family avoided the Inquisition.
All I can say is awesome!
Sure enough, it is not advisable to work hard on your own, but it is more cost-effective to inherit the inheritance.
This wave is considered to be developed.
After understanding the situation in the laboratory, Ron provided Moss with access rights and allowed him to lead his team into the laboratory.
They will continue to develop genetic engineering technology.
Moss compiled all the data in the laboratory and reported again:
“Due to inheriting a large amount of research data, the research progress has been greatly shortened.
According to preliminary estimates, the first batch of transformation experiments can be carried out in five years.”
Hearing this, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.
In his expectation, he could afford to wait even ten or twenty years.
Five years is fast enough.
Ron patted Moss on the shoulder and offered encouragement as usual:
"As expected of the chief sage under my command, do your job well and do it quickly!"
After dealing with the gene seed matter, another stone was lifted from Ron's heart.
He returned to the ground in a happy mood, and went to the luxurious bathing center inside the spire mansion to enjoy a one-stop service.
"comfortable……"
Ron was lying on a lounge chair by the pool, a towel covering his face.
This is called life.
Suddenly he felt a little monotonous, and a thought came to his mind for no reason:
"It seems like something is missing. There's nothing to watch. How about forming a song and dance troupe?"
When the time comes, play music and watch cool beauties dancing. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?
What happened to enjoying yourself after struggling for so long?
Just as he called a maid and was about to execute the order, Linda, the head maid, walked in.
"My Lord Governor, I have an urgent message for you, sent by Sage Kaul..."
Ron waved his hand to ask the maid to leave temporarily. He took the data pad and opened the emergency file sent by Call.
After seeing the content, his eyes suddenly darkened:
"Damn oil man, are you asking me for resources again?"
This is the third time Kaul has applied for resources, which has almost emptied the existing resource storage of Erth Star.
It is indeed not easy to raise a battleship.
This is a ready-made warship, so you don’t need to rub it yourself.
Moreover, the plasma engine is a fusion reaction and does not require much additional energy investment.
However, the resources consumed in repairing and modifying the battleship alone were enough to turn Ron into a poor man.
He was somewhat fortunate that the "Dream" was only an entry-level model with a length of eight kilometers.
If it were the "Emperor's Dream" that was more than fifty kilometers long, or the even larger "Phalanx", he wouldn't be able to afford it even with his pants down.
The reason why the "Dream" is strong is mainly because its internal golden age technology core is relatively strong, allowing it to rank among the top battleships.
It's a pity that the golden age time weapon was not found on the "Dream", otherwise it would be truly invincible.
Think about it, the enemy finally destroyed the "Dream", and the next second she appeared in the same place intact.
No matter how many times it is destroyed, it can be restored.
What incredible technology that is!
When Ron was thinking hard about where to find resources for the "Dream".
Kaur directly initiated the voice communication, and he was a little anxious:
“My Lord Governor, why haven’t you approved it yet?
I have been waiting for one hour, forty-five minutes and seven seconds. If there is no more resources, we will stop working! "
"Are you so anxious?
Honestly, have you upgraded your maintenance plan again? "
"It's just a small improvement. I suddenly had new inspiration and made up for several flaws in the previous maintenance plan..."
Ron took a deep breath:
"Can't you just go as planned?"
"Don't you want to have a more perfect Dream?"
Kaul's voice came faintly, as if carrying some unknown bewitchment.
…
Ron was silent for a while and replied:
"You win, I will pass the approval later..."
As expected, it is a poor third-generation modification, and the upgrades are endless!
After he hung up the communication, he consulted Bayev.
Subsequently, Wangting District temporarily canceled several projects and devoted all resources and personnel to the maintenance project of the "Dream".
The main task of these personnel, construction machinery and factories for a long time is to provide corresponding resources for the "Dream".
Fortunately, the planet Erth is a mining planet and has rich heritage.
Otherwise, I really can’t stand it.
After all, it is a planet that can bear the tithe tax of the first-class superiors.
If it were any other planet and this was done, it would probably turn into a desert planet.
In the end, Ron approved Kaul's resource application.
He slumped in the chair like a salted fish.
Another gold coin was fired, what a sin!
"Mr. Governor, the matter of the song and dance troupe..."
The maid came over again and asked about what she had just explained.
Ron waved his hand:
"Don't worry about this, the plan is cancelled..."
What kind of singing and dancing group? It must be Slaanesh who is doing something wrong.
Now is the time for hard work.
As the governor, he must resolutely resist such behavior that disrupts the atmosphere of the empire!
Let’s wait until we are rich.
Now there is a huge gap in the productivity of Erth Star, and the population is not enough.
"Now that food resources are relatively abundant, we must increase support for the fertility policy!"
Ron made a decision and quickly promulgated a series of fertility policies.
The people's livelihood department has even established a special agency to implement policies to encourage childbirth.
Families that actively have children will receive more resources and support, including bonus credits and incubators.
This means that families with more children can achieve a better life.
And he can quickly accumulate enough credit points to be promoted to a fifth-level lower-level citizen.
If there is no way to raise it, you can also give it to a nursing home affiliated with Chuji Academy.
But it is said to be a small-scale socialized upbringing.
With the promulgation of relevant fertility policies, banners were hung up everywhere on the planet:
"Five children are good. The Governor will help you take care of them in old age."
"Having one more child means one more blessing from the God-Emperor"
“For the future of Erth, let us give birth to more lives.”
At the same time, state churches everywhere also began to provide corresponding publicity and encouragement.
…
And for families with more than five children, Wangting District has special incentives.
The mother of the children will be called the Great Mother.
They receive a special audience from the governor every year and are given various awards.
After the implementation of a series of fertility systems, Erth Star ushered in rapid population growth.
It can be said to be thriving.
——
Five years later.
Goli Star District, Chuck Star.
This is a feudal planet, ruled by the local royal family, which mainly produces a rare biological material.
At this moment, several city-states on Chalk Planet were already a sea of fire, with wailing sounds everywhere.
The Moff's fleet has arrived.
This fleet severely punished the local royal family who did not know how to praise.
These people dare to question the legitimacy of the District Governor's imposition of the tithe!
After punishing the royal family, the fleet plundered all the valuable resources currently stored on Planet Chuck.
Afterwards, the fleet commander handed over the tax order to the last heir of the royal family.
The Chalk Planet must provide the corresponding tithe to the Moff.
This is a sacred duty that never ends.
After collecting the taxes from Planet Chuck, some ships returned to Matila fully loaded with people and resources.
The rest of the fleet turned around and flew towards the direction of the Erth Star.
According to the information, it is a wealthy planet and worthy of their efforts!
