"Your warships are too focused on the strength of a single ship. Even if you can print out the warships like a painting, the cost will be very high and the manufacturing time will be very long."
"The celestial engine is indeed very powerful. It is so powerful that when using it, you don't need to consider how many enemies there are in a galaxy. As long as you send it there, control of the entire galaxy is yours. But the problem is that a war often takes place in the entire galaxy or even Spreading out within the star field, there may be hundreds or even thousands of galaxies in one star field.”
"..."
Qin Mo turned to look at Vanessa, frowned and said: "There are less than sixty inhabited worlds in the Tyrone sector. Adding men, women, old and young together as cannon fodder is not enough to fill an apocalyptic war. Furthermore, celestial bodies It doesn’t matter if the engine can only control one galaxy, at least I can ensure that the enemy will never be able to siege the Tyrone Hive, and I won’t have to fight the enemy in person.”
"I didn't say that your army is not good." Vanessa looked helpless. "The characteristic of your army is its high quality. As long as you put the army on the battlefield, you will have a high probability of victory. You should prevent the army from falling into a war of attrition. Tyrone The same goes for the fleet.”
After hearing this, Qin Mo pondered for a moment and felt that his army could only develop in two directions: updating equipment and expanding its scale.
After talking about the army, Qin Mo pondered for a moment and then asked: "What's the situation in Cadia?"
"The Cadian Assault Army is being recalled to prepare for the next war." Vanessa said all the information she knew. "Everyone in the fortress world of Cadia can foresee that a war is coming. They Preparations are being made.”
"It's finally here." Qin Mo closed his eyes and recalled what would happen next.
The plague and raiding ships near Cadia will continue to rage, and the Voskani Iron Cavalry will kill all Cadia's senior officials at the landing site, and then Chaos Warmaster Abaddon will gather the main force to attack Cadia. A long-running war rages on Cadia.
The Thirteenth Black Crusade planned by Abaddon has not yet officially begun, but the war has spread across several sectors. The forge world of Agrippina, supported by the celestial engine, is only one of the more critical areas. , like a key node on a small defense line in a land war.
The Tyron system still had several years to prepare before Abaddon could officially launch his attack on Cadia.
Qin Mo's goal is not only to protect the black stone obelisk on Cadia, but also to use the black stone obelisk to close the Eye of Terror, or even kill Abaddon.
Cawl is of great importance in this war, and he will learn how to use the Blackstone Obelisk.
Although Caul is still in the Tyrone galaxy, Qin Mo knows that Caul in the galaxy is just a copy, and his true body should be on the Eliad 6.
"I have been preparing for this war for a long time." Qin Mo spoke slowly, staring at Vanessa, "I am happy to intervene in anything that is not good for Chaos, but this does not mean that helping Cardia is voluntary labor. .”
Vanessa nodded silently after hearing this. She could understand what Qin Mo meant, that is, Qin Mo might ask for compensation after Cardia was defended, and this was acceptable.
Cadia is different from the forge world of Agrippina. Whether this fortress world can be defended will affect the fate of the entire human race.
The Tyrone army is better at focusing on war within a galaxy. If they participate in the war, it will not be as simple as adding a touch of defense power to Cadia.
"Do you need me to go to Cadillac to be your liaison?" Vanessa asked.
Qin Mo refused directly without even thinking: "No need, I will send a Rogue Trader over there, that is Klein. He will use super-light speed communication, which is much more stable than using psychic energy to send messages back and forth."
Vanessa was not surprised by the rejection, she accepted it gladly.
"The empire's tithe collection fleet has arrived in Tailong. You are responsible for receiving them...and try to get them to agree to replace the tax ship's engine with a dimensional engine." Qin Mo said.
"Leave it to me." Vanessa nodded in agreement.
After everything was said, Qin Mo signaled to Vanessa that she could leave.
Vanessa turned around silently and teleported out of the main control room.
But within two seconds, Vanessa suddenly teleported back.
"Why are you back again?" Qin Mo frowned subconsciously and asked, but then he felt that something was not right with Vanessa in front of him.
Vanessa smiled and suddenly transformed into a silver-haired woman: "It seems you really annoy her."
"I hate everything about subspace." Qin Mo said and began to control the equipment in the main control room, personally adjusting the weapons and equipment of the flagship built for the Weeper Chapter. "What do you want from me?"
"It's okay." Mimic shook his head, "I just want to bother you... No, I just want to see what you are doing."
Qin Mo glanced at Mimic helplessly, and then continued to adjust the design of the Weeper Chapter's flagship.
Since this ship is intended for Space Marines, it will be better able to perform gang-hopping and orbital assault tactics.
Mimic stayed in embarrassment for a while and then prepared to leave: "Since you have nothing to do, then I will..."
"Wait a minute." Qin Mo suddenly stopped the mimic, "Use your illusion ability to help me hold a meeting that all the stone people can participate in. It's all the stone people in the star area, don't implant those two. The judge of the chip was also turned into a stone man and pulled into the illusion."
Chapter 188 Stone Man’s Advantage
The mimicry immediately complied with Qin Mo's request, and it was already used to it.
The environment in the entire control room changed from a metal room to a miniature of the Tyrone Star District, and more than fifty stone men, both male and female, appeared in the illusion.
These stone men are scattered on every world in the sector. They either replace the original governor or become the governor's assistant. Their status depends on whether the original governor of the world they are sent to has ever opposed the sector. Integrate plans.
In the previous time, the stone people were executing integration plans all the time, and they were gradually taking control of their own world.
Qin Mo's purpose of convening this star district meeting through mimicry was to inquire about the work progress of the stone people.
"Give me a brief introduction to the progress." Qin Mo ordered.
The eyes of all the stone men projected images, and through the images they quickly showed Qin Mo everything they had done so far.
The stone people have taken control of the world they are responsible for.
Qin Mo focused on the interpersonal communication part.
Stonemen are not just responsible for management. There are high-level personnel in every world. Among these high-level officials are military marshals and nobles. They have appeal in the world where they live.
If you don't want to spend a long time cleaning them up with the army, you can only let the stone people get along with them and gain their loyalty.
After watching the video, Qin Mo found that the stone man he had built was truly extraordinary.
Stone people analyze each person's likes, dislikes and interests, and then formulate a complete interpersonal communication plan. They have different personalities when facing each person. For example, when facing arrogance, they are humble and generous in praise. , has a strong personality when faced with people who feel uncomfortable without being scolded.
This makes both Shiren's subordinates and the governor assisted by Shiren feel that Shiren is a close friend who can trust everything and a shrewd and capable management genius. Most people who oppose Shiren will soon reconcile and establish Close friendship.
This is not as simple as building a relationship, the Stone Man must also balance the interests of all parties.
Those opponents who really cannot be dealt with will be dealt with by the stone man personally by force. Although the appearance of stone men is no different from humans, their bodies do not need to leave room for biological organs, and some places can be used to stuff weapons.
In short, stone people either become governors who control a world, or they take over all power as assistants to the governor.
Only now did Qin Mo know why humans in the golden age trusted the stone people so much, because these guys were indeed loyal and capable, and they couldn't be more perfect.
"Very good, my creations." Qin Mo glanced at each stone man with satisfaction, and then looked at the mimicry proudly, hoping to hear some neutral and objective praise from its mouth.
"Look what I do, you didn't create me." Mimicry said.
"Ahem." Qin Mo withdrew his gaze and ordered the stone people: "Show me the situation of each world in the star area."
The stone people immediately carried out the order and projected the details of their world in text.
Qin Mo's brain processed information rapidly and browsed through the situation of every world in the Tailong Star District in less than two seconds.
The sector integration plan has been completed.
No matter which world in which galaxy it is, it is the same as the three worlds in Tyrone Galaxy.
Everyone is entered into the information database and undergoes psychological testing regularly. Drones and logistics machinery are flying around... There is order in every corner, no chaos.
The stone people will use the information database to screen out people who are suitable to become soldiers or crew members, let these people receive training, and be assigned to the army or warships that have just left the factory.
The stone people even screened out those suitable to become guards among the hundreds of billions of people in the entire star region. Each of them was selected through an extremely complex testing process and was a perfect candidate for the guards.
There are ten candidates for the Imperial Guard.
Hundreds of people would have been screened out, but it is not just the guards that need top talents, the army and fleet also need them.
After checking the overall situation of the star area, Qin Mo was extremely satisfied, and then thought about the ban on scientific research.
A few years ago, the Tyrone Galaxy banned anyone from conducting research and creation, and then this order was implemented by the stone people throughout the entire galaxy.
Some technologies that are urgently needed but of little value cannot be researched in time. Even if there is a master control intelligence responsible for auxiliary research, the scientific research gap cannot be filled.
This is not efficient enough.
Qin Mo wanted to lift the ban on scientific research because he found that with the recovery of his star god's power, psykers in the entire star area were weakened, supernatural phenomena no longer appeared, and no one had been corrupted by chaos for a long time.
Although it cannot completely isolate subspace and cannot affect other galaxies outside the sector, at least there is no need to worry about large-scale chaotic corrosion in the Tyrone sector.
After much thought, Qin Mo decided to lift the ban on scientific research. He conveyed this order to the stone people: "The ban on scientific research will be lifted from now on, and you can train scientific researchers."
The stone men wrote down the order.
"The meeting is over, send the consciousness of the stone people out of the illusion." Qin Mo ordered the mimicry.
Mimic immediately asked the stone people to exit the illusion, and then asked: "Do you have any other instructions, Lord Tailong?"
"Help me contact Klein." Qin Mo made another request.
Mimicry still follows the instructions.
The illusion changed, from a miniature of the Tyrone sector to a merchant ship bridge.
Klein, who was far away in the Agrippina Foundry World purchasing goods, suddenly felt his brain tremble, and then he saw Qin Mo and an unknown woman appearing in front of him.
The crew members on the bridge continued what they were doing, completely unaware of the two people who suddenly appeared, because only Klein could see them.
"Governor." Klein saluted respectfully. He didn't look very panicked, because he knew that Qin Mo's power was gradually getting stronger. He could easily build a fortress when he was in the bottom nest, and it was not surprising that he could create illusions now.
Qin Mo went straight to the point without explaining too much: "Hurry back to Tailong to install the super-light communication facility, and then go to Creed. You are responsible for helping deliver the message."
"Yes." Klein agreed without hesitation, but then felt confused. He couldn't understand why Creed was taken so seriously. Creed was not the castle owner of Cadia, nor was he the commander of all the regiments of the Cadian Assault Army.
Doubts remain doubts, but things still have to be done.
Klein immediately turned around and ordered everyone on the bridge to plan a route back to the Tyrone system, preparing to install communication equipment on the ship before finding Creed.
After completing one more thing, Qin Mo signaled the mimic to dispel the illusion.
"What's next?" Mimic asked.
"Develop and wait." Qin Mo replied.
Chapter 189 The long road home
……
Two months later.
In a system still far away from the fortress world of Cadia, the Zealous Advance loaded with Cadian assault troops is docked outside the hive world to receive supplies.
Usaka Creed was on the ship, and he and other colleagues gathered in the bar to kill the boring time on the road.
As the officers enthusiastically discussed the recall orders issued by the fortress world, Creed and his deputy sat at a table in the corner, drinking strong drinks and listening.
"It will take at least several years for us to get back to our hometown. It's a long journey."
"I can finally go back. I miss my parents..."
"I heard that the Tyrone sector has started to pay tithes. If they can pay the tithes earlier and let us use the dimensional engine, then we can get home faster."
