That's why District 100 went to the bottom nest to clean out the gene stealers.
From an individual point of view, the Gene Stealers have little to do with District 100. They have not launched a rebellion for the time being, and even the top brass of the hive city may not know about the existence of Gene Stealers...
So Yaoen asked He Qizheng a question.
The latter replied calmly: "Revenge. In the 100th District, a total of twenty-five babies and sixty-three teenagers were stolen in seventy years."
"What a damn bug." Yaoen suddenly thought of his children. He suppressed the urge to go to the bottom of the nest and kill them, and continued to ask: "How did the usurpers in the nobles' mouths die?"
"Those nobles are pouring dirty water on his head. My grandfather is not a usurper." He Qizheng raised his head and looked at the roof. This question made him fall into memories. "My grandfather and I were together a hundred and twenty years ago." Just the same, just an ordinary person in the next nest, a bug in the mouth of those nobles."
Yaoen did not interrupt He Qizheng's memories and listened quietly.
"Although he later became the Governor, he was no different from anyone else when he was young. When the then Governor wanted to find a wife for his mechanical hound, there was a man in the 100th District whose lover was taken away. Mine My grandfather only laughed at the unfortunate guy in the pub with his other friends."
"Until his best friend's wife was to be married off to the then Governor's mechanical hound."
Speaking of this, He Qizheng looked at the psychic.
"His grandfather and I were born together and grew up next to each other." The psychic nodded.
"Then my grandfather and he worked together to find a way to save people and kill the mechanical hound. When they came back, they found that they had become wanted criminals, so the two of them went to hide in the bottom of the nest... The governor easily resurrected the dead hound, and continued to give this A hound seeks a wife.”
"After my grandfather secretly returned to District 100 to meet with relatives and friends, he learned everything that had happened so far, and suddenly realized that some things could not be ignored, so he decided to completely end the atrocities of the then governor."
"The rebel army is overwhelming. When the rebel soldiers, who are as poorly equipped as the militiamen here, come to the streets, the gang members and civilians will come out with various weapons, and they will join the team without saying a word. They went from nest to nest and then to the top of the tower, and even the priests and nobles of the state church joined their ranks."
Speaking of this, He Qizheng suddenly became excited, as if he was in the midst of those past events that made his blood boil.
"My grandfather killed the governor and his hounds and was crowned governor by a priest in front of everyone."
"He began to improve the living standards of the hive people, established connections with the agricultural world of Beisiu No. 7 to exchange supplies, and established process standards for many things that were decided by only one idea... He did a lot."
He Qizheng's eyes moved from the roof to Yao En, and his tone suddenly became low: "Then he was assassinated when he was old. A psychic who can predict the future, a man who has been guarding my grandfather since the first war. Guard captain for ten years..."
"Even the toilets in the mansion are guarded by guards. There is no corner that is not within the sight of the guards."
"Then my grandfather was assassinated anyway, and just as the captain of the guard moved his eyes from him to the candle, he fell to the ground with most of the guards in the room."
Hearing this, Yao En looked at the psyker: "Didn't you foresee his grandfather's death?"
"The prophecy is not a complete picture, but a flickering picture that seemed to have no meaning at the time and a voice that echoed in my ears. I spent a hundred years honing my talent before I could sit down and be able to Listen to the words of the prophecy and put them into order," the psyker replied.
"But it's not that everyone didn't see the assassin." He Qizheng recalled with his eyes closed. "At that time, I walked to my grandfather's room and wanted to ask him for money. In the corridor, I suddenly heard a noise in the ventilation duct. When I When looking towards the entrance of the pipe..."
Yao En listened with wide eyes and ears.
He Qizheng took a deep breath and continued: "I saw a tail, a long and slender tail."
Chapter 310 Ancient Relics
With his slender tail, he was clearly a pureblood genestealer.
Very pure, so pure that it has a decomposition force field on its claws.
He Qizheng continued to recall what happened after his grandfather's death.
"My grandfather is gone, and the things he brought to the hive are gone with him."
"The tyrant is back again. The 7.5 million families in District 100 are forced to draw lots. Only the person who wins the lot in a family can survive."
"The priests who believed that my grandfather was the person chosen by the God-Emperor were taken away by the Inquisition. The New Church priests will not be held accountable for anything in the past."
"I was escorted by psykers and guard captains to the 100th District. The people here did not hate us because of the disaster our family had brought to them. Instead, they chose to follow me."
"When escaping from the top of the tower, the guard captain exchanged his life for mine and the ancient books passed down by our family from generation to generation."
The story ends here.
Yaoen frowned and thought about the whole story, and suddenly felt that something was very suspicious: "Your grandfather was a descendant, right? He was not a down-and-out noble, nor was he a man who received priest education in the state church."
"Yes." He Qizheng nodded.
"Then he should just be a kind and good person, not a capable person who is very capable in management." Yaoen said, "A person may have talent, but he will not have innate knowledge. Even if he has No matter how fast you learn, you still need to learn, otherwise you won’t know how to manage a hive city, let alone manage the hive city better. And how can Xiachao have an environment for him to learn?"
He Qi, who was being questioned, lowered his head and thought, his expression did not look like he had been exposed, but hesitant.
After hesitating for a long time, He Qizheng made a decision, got up from the bed and motioned to Yao En to go to the basement with him.
The psyker left the house, and Yao En followed him with confidence.
The basement is very large and contains all the underage children in District 100.
When Yao En came, he noticed that there was a relatively better house than this one in the residential area. If He Qi was the leader of District 100, then he should be in that better house.
So there is only one reason why He Qizheng lives in this dilapidated house.
That is, if outsiders break through the wall and come in, they will first kill He Qizheng and the psyker before killing the adults in District 100.
He Qi was leading Yao En through the children and walked to an alloy door.
After the electronic device next to the door scanned He Qizheng's irises, the door opened with a bang.
Yaoen felt that the door that was unlocked by an electronic device was quite novel to see in Beisu No. 1. After all, wet items were usually placed next to the door.
The scanning results of the electronic eye showed that the electronic door lock is an antique-level technological relic. It even has the functions of self-repair and self-destruction. The principle of locking the door is not to rely on opening and closing the door, but to generate an invisible energy on the door. Membrane, if the device is damaged, the energy membrane will disappear along with everything within a diameter of seventy meters.
The door closed after the two entered the secret room.
On the steel bookshelf in front of you are an ancient book and a medicine bottle with three pills left.
"This is a relic that our entire family has inherited to this day." He Qizheng walked to the ancient books. "Our family has always been very poor, but even if we sell the respirator, we will not lose these relics."
Yao En looked at the medicine bottle, and the electronic eye scan showed that it was a bottle of water purification medicine.
The ingredients in the tablets inside have a strong purifying effect.
There was a line of difficult-to-understand text written on the medicine bottle, which was translated in Yaoen's eyes after comparison and analysis in the database.
[Ancient Terran Language. 】
【Translation result: Emergency water purification medicine, produced by the Relaxation Travel Group. 】
[After the escape capsule crash lands, please throw the medicine into any liquid you can find, and then use the included detector to detect whether the liquid has been over-purified and turned into ultrapure water. 】
[Do not add more than half a tablet to liquids below the ocean level. 】
"Is this why District 100 is not short of water?" Yaoen asked, pointing to the medicine.
He Qizheng glanced at Yaoen in surprise. He didn't expect that he knew the function of the medicine before he explained it.
But that's not important. He Qizheng took out the ancient book from the bookshelf and opened it.
Only then did Yaoen realize that it was a container that looked like a book. Inside was a small sphere that was inlaid on the container with rough craftsmanship.
When He Qizheng recited a spell in a language that Yao En could not understand, a physical image was released from the sphere, turning the entire room into a classroom.
Two stunningly beautiful brunette women appeared out of nowhere, both wearing glasses and holding books.
The two women walked up to He Qizheng and Yaoen, then took out a connecting cable from the brain-computer interface on the back of their heads and inserted it into Yaoen and He Qizheng's brain-computer interface.
Yao En suddenly found that he shared his senses with the woman in front of him.
Just when Yaoen thought this was a way for teachers to instill knowledge into students, the woman in front of him suddenly leaned down, and then...
"Sorry, I misplaced it." He Qizheng quickly switched to the next scene.
It's still the same classroom.
What appeared this time was not two women, but a black-haired man wearing strange clothes. This man looked similar to Anruida, He Qizheng, and the Lord of Tailong.
"I am Teacher He, whom everyone is familiar with. I will pick up the book and talk about Lesson 121: Colonial Management."
"As I said in the last lesson, if you can't even buy two yuan for basic learning equipment, you'd better be patient and listen to what I say."
"Our last lesson explained in detail the first step from purchasing a colony ship to establishing a colony. In this lesson we are going to learn how to manage a colony. I invited Jayne, a management professor who is well-known throughout the federation. "
"Come on, Jayne, say hello to everyone."
A blond man appeared out of thin air and greeted Yaoen and He Qizheng: "Hello, I am honored to participate in the course recording of Beixiu Galaxy University. Next, I will teach you how to manage the colony together with your teacher He."
"Starting from establishing a closed economic system that can operate in cycles, to how to build an army to more effectively clean up alien natives, to how to formulate laws."
The two men in the next video kept giving lectures, teaching Yao En and He Qizheng everything they knew about managing the colony.
This knowledge is a bit too advanced, and would be out of place in the hive world of the 41st millennium.
Although this video course was created tens of thousands of years ago, it is indeed very scientific. They even have a language system that allows students to understand knowledge faster.
At the end of the course, Yao En realized that there was no need to use this physical video to learn. The teacher said that this video was only used for knowledge continuation in the most extreme situation where there is no basic learning equipment. It is stored in a self-repairing computer. in durable playback equipment.
The playback device hidden in a container like an ancient book only had two videos, and the video course was incomplete except for lesson 121.
But these two videos are enough to give an ambitious nester what he needs most - knowledge and comfort.
Chapter 311 Prophecy Warning
After answering Yaoen's question about how his grandfather obtained the knowledge with practical actions, He Qizheng turned off the player, closed the ancient books, and handed them to Yaoen together.
When Yaoen didn't know why he gave this thing to him, He Qizheng asked with a smile: "You seem to be able to scan things. Can you tell me the ingredients of the medicine? As long as you tell me, this thing will be yours." ”
Yaoen looked at the medicine bottle containing water purification tablets, and the ingredients of the medicine appeared in his electronic eyes one after another.
None of these ingredients are natural. Some of them are extracted in the Tyrone star sector using the most sophisticated instruments and equipment and used to make nanorobots used in therapeutic medicines.
The Beisu Nest City obviously does not have the ability to synthesize drugs, but this does not mean that you have to drink dirty water when the bottle of medicine is used up in the 100th district.
"If the purpose is to purify water, there is an easier way." Yaoen turned his head and looked at the wall, shooting an energy wave from his eyes to engrave a drawing on the wall, as well as a detailed manufacturing process for parts.
It was the equipment that Qin Mo used to purify water in the bottom nest. This thing is simpler and more convenient than medicine, but if you need a machine that can never break down and continue to purify water, nothing is more suitable than it.
This thing has even been miniaturized and put into soldiers' Army-standard power armor to purify body fluids into drinkable water.
After the engraving was completed, Yaoen took the ancient book from He Qizheng, but did not put it into his backpack immediately: "Are you sure you want to give this to me? Didn't you say that your family would not sell this even if they sold the respirator? ?"
"I will die." He Qizheng replied very calmly, "Maybe one day I will be killed by a monster with a slender tail just like my grandfather."
Yaoen nodded, thinking that this would most likely be the case.
"Everything my grandfather did will dissipate with his death. I don't want to lose everything when I die. At least I have to leave a long-term water source for the people in District 100." He Qizheng continued.
"Will you give this drawing to other residential areas?" Yaoen asked again.
He Qizheng felt that Yaoen might be afraid that he would monopolize the blueprint. He thought about it carefully and decided to tell the truth: "No. Because those gangs and speculators will hoard a lot of water crazily, and then unite to destroy the 100th District. The machines used to purify water were destroyed along with the blueprints, so they would have a more profitable way to make money than those powders."
