As a fortress ship, the Buzhoushan has the function of a base ship, like a packaged industrial base.

However, in terms of production capacity alone, it is not even as large as a base ship that is less than a third or even a quarter of its size.

The Fortress of Gaine is relatively balanced in all aspects, fully equipped with its own equipment, and also has the functions of a mothership, so it does not need to be paired with other types of ships when traveling.

The rapid farming in the name of Xinxiangxing actually shows the style of Buzhoushan in farming.

It's about providing the core package and then selecting the appropriate environment to spread out and start farming.

Coming to Gradius, it's the same set.

Due to the loss of contact for more than 2,000 years, Gradius's human civilization and technology have regressed even more seriously.

When it comes to this issue, we must not talk about STC, the standard construction formwork.

This thing is the 'interstellar colonization crutch' invented by human beings for themselves.

Of course, that's what Kane thinks about STC. In fact, the humans of Warhammer 40K are quite proud of their own invention, both in the past and in the present.

In the past, when technology was prosperous, STC was known as the 'portable industry', and its main label was fast, portable, and thrifty.

At that time, if you were ready to play the romance of the interstellar age and explore colonization, then one of the choices in front of you was what kind of STC to bring, whether it was a basic set, a deluxe set, a general version, or a supreme version, or simply save a set of your own, which would be more compatible with computers at the beginning of the 21st century.

Because of the convenience and thoughtfulness of STC, most of the pioneers are users, but they do not understand the principles behind it.

Think about it, the technology has developed to that extent, and the degree of refinement and difficulty of each major is daunting. If you use anything, you must master its principle, and it is estimated that you will be studying for the rest of your life.

Even the technicians have learned how to identify general faults and then replace parts. As for the parts that go wrong, either throw them away, or return them to the factory, or simply send the equipment to the 4S store, in short, most people don't want to solve it, and they don't have the energy to solve it.

So once you encounter the so-called manpower majeure problem, you will be all numb.

Ongoing subspace storms, even if it's this kind of problem. The colonized worlds have become isolated islands, just like the earth's 21st century inter-city logistics are cut off overnight.

Later, STC became a black technology in the eyes of mankind, most of which were controlled by the Cult of the Mechanicus, and some were controlled by the powerful.

All in all, even at the height of human science and technology, few people came to colonize with a complete industrial system.

This means a dependence on logistics. On your own, you can only complete a certain stage of development at most. For example, exploration is one phase, the establishment of primary semi-permanent settlements is another, and the identification of advantageous projects, the start of large-scale settlement, and the production and trading with other colonial worlds are at least the third stage.

Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that the human colonists of Gradius were so sad that they were unable to step out of the gravity well after two thousand years.

Although the empire still has ships from 10,000 years ago still in use, it is basically without lack of repair and maintenance.

Another important concept is the cost of maintaining such equipment.

In the 21st century, more than 200 countries on the earth, how many can raise aircraft carriers?

Starships are much more expensive than aircraft carriers.

Gradius is biased towards the kind of nest-like world.

This kind of world is actually the cosmic version of Foxconn, with cheap labor, and the factory is located directly next to the resource point, and then at a low cost, make a hard-earned money + sell raw materials.

It is said that first-class companies do rules, and second-rate companies do brands, so how many are these first-rate?

So, when Gradius was cut off from the outside world, he immediately wanted to cry without tears.

Changeover takes time and technology is required.

Seeing that there is a large group of workers, the environment and technical conditions are not suitable for farming, but the products produced are piled up and cannot be exchanged for living materials, how desperate the situation is, can be imagined.

The Gradius people survived with great difficulty, but they also lost a lot because of it.

Therefore, the locals, represented by Spencer, were wary of and even resentful of the Empire's visitors, and Kane and the representatives of the various institutions of the Empire accompanying him could understand it.

Kane, on the other hand, brought technical support to the Gradius, far from being equipped in the Empire, and, of course, disputes.

The first is to deal with the Tyranid gene thieves who have become tarsal maggots.

The name Tyranid was given by humans after the location of this terrifying creature that was first discovered.

There is a saying in the East that it is called eventful.

When it comes to a harvest that has been hard for a year, it's a big deal. Whether it is a bumper harvest or a reduced yield, it will often become a major reason to use the knife.

Bumper harvest, abundant grain and grass, suitable for expanding the territory.

If you reduce production and don't go to the grass valley, you will be sad in winter, whether you will die of hunger and cold, or go out to grab a chance to live, this seems to be not difficult to choose.

And in the Warhammer 40K universe, the 41st millennium of the human era, even if it is an eventful year for the Empire. More important events have occurred in this millennium than in the previous 10,000 years.

The Tyranid invasion is one of them.

But that was in the second half of the millennium, and now at the end of 140 years, no one in the entire galaxy has seen the horror of the Tyranids.

Even Kane's well-informed face of the Tyranid is cheering up.

There are two main reasons for this.

1. The Zerg of Warhammer 40K, in terms of its temperament, is wilder than the swarm of the StarCraft universe.

The Tyranid is not as literary as the Zeg Worm, and it pursues the meaning of life.

The Tyranid is the transcendent version of the marching ant in the universe, with only one idea, the people live on food. It's either sleeping, eating, or on the way to find food, it's as simple as that.

Moreover, unlike the Zeg Zerg, which only has extremely rare brain worms, blade queens or something, which involve ghost energy, the extraordinary power of the Tyranid Worm is quite popular.

It can be said that the so-called Zerg biotechnology is actually more or less extraordinary.

Even the lowest-level cannon fodder Swift Worm can strengthen the claws with a monolayer if conditions permit, not to mention the power armor of the Astarte monks, or the well-known Rand Rapid Attack Boat, which can be torn apart.

2, the Tyranid does not have a scientific research boss like Abbather, which seems to be rational, but is actually a little incompatible with the Zerg race.

The Tyranid Worm is basically a frontal battle, a majestic division, and a three-plate axe.

But these three axes, like the housekeeping skills of wild predators, are perfect, they are good, they are ruthless, because if they can't do it, they will starve to death.

To put it simply, it is pure.

Don't play with what adaptive gene loading. In the case of the Tyranids, this approach, like the various series of weapons developed by Germany during World War II, seems to have their own characteristics and advantages, but from a logistical point of view, it is completely a disaster.

The Tyranid only grasps one core, and that is the specific resource throughput.

At first, there are many, and then there are more and more.

In the original history, humans, spirits, the Titanium Empire, and orcs all felt helpless in front of the Tyranids.

It is clear that one battle after another has been won, but there are more and more enemies, so that those victories that can be sung or wept or glorious seem meaningless.

This is so because the point was mistaken from the start.

Tyranids are not afraid of the dead, and their ox-breaking recovery mechanism allows them to make full use of resources, including the corpses of their own people and enemies, as well as non-ferrous metals, fuel, and so on.

Therefore, the Tyranid rarely fights people in the backwoods, such as the deep space of the universe between galaxies.

No, that's not Tyrannical mode.

The Tyranid will only be fought in places where supplies are abundant, usually in the target home world.

The plates have long been stepped on, and the route of the march has been drawn up. It came suddenly, violently, and with great momentum.

Then the production line is built on the front line.

The war is cruel and crazy losses, and it is nothing more than putting less money in your pocket, and converting the acquired resources into combat power, sending them to the front line, and not afraid of death, as long as you can ensure that you have been mining resources here.

This is the competition of throughput efficiency.

In this regard, the Tyranid is almost the pinnacle of the Warhammer 40K universe.

Therefore, the Eldarins who took the route of elite soldiers, as well as the Astarte monks in the Human Empire, who have always been known for their own self-reliance, were very uncomfortable when they encountered the Tyranids.

The Tyranid is not just that type, as resources continue to be acquired and the war machine deepens and operates, some very powerful, nightmarish-level demonic monster-level bugs will also appear.

And even if the most basic bugs have enough resources, there will be an increase in added value, from the initial death, to the danger later.

What's more, it's not for nothing that the lowest-level war bug is named after the speedy bug. They are very similar to the velociraptor of the dinosaur era, and can be said to be very intelligent and know how to use tactics as group hunters. Their fangs and claws are much more fierce than wolves, and they have shooting weapons (crossbow-like biological weapons, meat guns).

The knife worm, which is one level higher than the speedy worm, has the ability to stealth and penetrate, although it does not have a shooting weapon.

This ability, described in terms of game effects, is that when the knife insect swarm approaches the target group (squad or squad mode), it is often not allowed to allow the target group to shoot guardian (or alert shooting), but first let the knife insect rush to kill a wave.

This is very hurtful, the typical first strike is strong, and it is a wave of close kills. In reality, the target group is likely to collapse, unable to organize an effective counterattack, and fall into chaos.

And in the original history, IG's battle against the swarm has also confirmed this situation many times, and in that situation, it is often really necessary for the political commissar to shoot some people on the spot in order to save the declining situation.

The combat power of the swarm is not weak, but it still uses a simple, fancyless, and extremely difficult strategy to break.

Under this strategic effect, most of the tricks are difficult to play their due role, and they can be regarded as one force to reduce ten meetings.

Kane thought to himself that although he had called himself a swarm of iron-blooded insects from the beginning, in some ways, he was not as good as a real bug.

Human nature, and the habit of farming, the habit of creating rather than destroying, can become an invisible constraint.

Even because he is always traveling through different worlds, he gradually gets used to the elite flow, and unconsciously substitutes this kind of thinking into his actions. He was clear about that.

A majestic world-destroying war like the Tyranid Worm, he actually refused from the bottom of his heart.

Because he subconsciously felt that things like the living planet and the like, this is all part of the fruits of victory, and they are all smashed, what is the picture?

Therefore, compared to the bug, his thinking is too complex and adds too much additional meaning to things. It is precisely because of this that he is not as pure as the worm, and there are more loopholes.

Speaking of which, the Tyranid worm was the most bug-like swarm he had ever seen. Pure, wild, not literary and artistic, it is to devour all resources.

If the evil god is a spiritual-oriented nightmare, then the Tyranid is a material-oriented nightmare, and it is this double nightmare that makes the Warhammer 40K universe seem particularly desperate.

It is precisely because of this that Kane has long been thinking about whether to be deliberate, so that the imperial bosses can see the horror of the Tyranid as soon as possible.

In this way, maybe there will be a little less intrigue and internal tilting?

After thinking about it, forget it. Even if they do, most of them are kept secret and shelved, because it is not easy for the world to know, so as not to cause panic.

And the intrigue or something, it will even intensify because of this, staging 'after I die, who cares about the flood'.

When there is too much external pressure and there is no effective regulation, it is likely that this will be the case when it is all self-conscious.

This is one of the drawbacks of totalitarianism, which demands too much from those who hold authority, and those who are not extraordinary saints cannot really do it.

Whether you can see the Tyranid worm depends on the arrangement of fate, but fate is quite face-wrenching, and you will encounter it.

Since it is also F4, it means that it has been dormant for at least a few hundred years, and Kane thinks that the chicken thieves may attract the swarm to Patronize Gradius to deal with it.

Judging from the military power that the Gradius people now say they have, I'm afraid they can't even count as shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

After some thought, Kane decided to investigate and execute the chicken thief breed as secretly as possible, so as not to cause damage and bring heavy losses to human society.

He used it directly after the fact, and strictly controlled the initial number of people who knew about the existence of the chicken thief.

Then there is the sweet jujube and the stick to collect the military power.

Like Xinxiangxing, the production base is not built on a planet, but in space.

Gradius also doesn't have moons, but this time Kane didn't rush to bring a dwarf planet over. Mainly because Gradius is buried with a lot of secrets, in addition to the space undead, there are also the relics of the ancient saints.

It is better to have a certain sense of awe and vigilance.

If you don't have a dwarf planet, you can also get a small celestial body.

Of course, small is only relatively speaking, it is a big ore in itself, and it will be built into a base by the way while planning and mining.

There are four deformed warships that have captured black bean sprouts and become nanometers, which is equivalent to having strong labor and technicians for large-scale infrastructure, and the construction efficiency is considerable.

And as early as before Kane and his entourage descended on the planetary earth, the engineering project had already begun.

While engaged in construction, we also engaged in investigation.

In order to re-establish contact with the Empire, representatives of the defense force and navy from Terra personally assessed and selected our own Stormtroopers in various units.

Stormtrooper, also known as the Loyal Heir Stormtrooper. Hearing the name, you know that the source of soldiers is from the Loyal Heir Academy.

As mentioned before, the orphans of officers and nobles are relatively easy to become imperial officials such as political commissars, so what about the orphans of ordinary military martyrs?

As a military school with a completely closed management and a heavy political course, most of the personnel trained by the Loyal Heir Academy are loyal and even fanatical.

It is precisely this training that makes them often surpass those ordinary conscripted defense soldiers in terms of military literacy.

It can be said that the storm soldiers are elite soldiers with excellent political consciousness and professional quality. Their equipment, compared to ordinary soldiers, is also similar to that of Earth Special Forces and Field Soldiers, and generally makes it instantly recognizable to laymen, and the Empire has invested more money in the Stormtroopers.

The Stormtroopers are all from the Loyal Heir Academy, but for the IG Legion with sufficient resources and enough good veterans, it is not difficult to build their own Stormtroo-like troops.

For example, the famous Kadiya Infantry Regiment, also known as the Kadian Blitz Army, their Kashezin unit is the elite, which is equivalent to the special forces in the army, and is not inferior to the Storm Troopers.

There's also the famous Krieg Death Corps, who have a very old-school in-house team called the Grenadiers. It's also elite.

There is also the Katachan Corps, the only and 1st regiment of Tiness, which has its own elite troops.

Now Kane's pie is to build such an elite force in Gradius.

It's not just to check the chicken-thief mix, it's really to be built.

This news naturally encouraged the entire garrison of Gradius.

They are still uneasy, after all, they have been lost for two thousand years, and after being separated from the empire for so long, does the empire still recognize them? Will they simply be demoted to the planetary defense force, or will they be strictly assessed and all the unqualified ones will be eliminated?

Unexpectedly, the empire actually accepted it all. And what a great honor is it to select the elite from among them, to be on the same level as the legendary Stormtroopers?

Moreover, they also heard that even ordinary soldiers will have improved benefits, as well as a change of clothing, more advanced weapons and armor, which is all good news!

This kind of news spread not only in the light infantry regiments, but also in the tank regiments, artillery regiments and other different branches of the army.

The betrayal of the Space Marine legion led by Horus has done the most and deepest damage to the Empire, but it is not the only one. It can be said that in the long history of tens of thousands of years, the empire has experienced numerous betrayals.

In addition, the rulers of the empire also had a certain degree of self-knowledge about their own behavior of not taking the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously, so the classification of military branches was very strict, in order to prevent the mutineers from mastering a sound military force.

Like Rodriguez's independent regiment, it is essentially a light infantry regiment that does not even have an official number.

Their equipment is also lackluster, with bulletproof armor and a laser rifle, not even anti-infantry fragmentation grenades, nor anti-armor fragmentation grenades, let alone molten bombs against vehicle vehicles.

The poor equipment also means that there is a lack of training in other types of weapons, as well as training in corresponding tactics. To put it simply, Rodriguez's Independent Regiment is actually a security force capable of dealing with civil unrest, not a field army.

However, it is such a unit, and the discipline is quite good.

Although the Imperial Defense Force has always emphasized faith, discipline, and sacrifice. But two thousand years after breaking away from the imperial administration, the state religion, and the military, there is still such a military appearance, and Kane feels that the commander here has a lot of credit.

"Cinderella becomes a princess, at least Cinderella must have that good foundation. The foundation of this army can be, and I believe that the effect of becoming a princess will be particularly eye-catching......"
