After an important three-way video conference, Kane had another secret chat with Pope Aduben III for about a quarter of an hour.

The main content of the secret chat is about the past, present and future of the state religion.

Kane is very blunt about debunking some old accounts.

"The birth of the state religion cannot bypass the legion of the Bearers no matter what. As the original body of the Seventeenth Legion, Luo Jia successfully ascended to the demon prince, and the process of ascension was smoother than that of other original bodies, and this alone is enough to prove how many atrocities and sins the Whisperer warriors under his command have committed. ”

"The relationship between the evil gods is not harmonious, the Sadism and Tzeentch are more twisted, and Nurgle and Slaanesh are constantly in discord, you know this. But Luo Jia, who believed in the four evil gods at the same time, received the benefits of the unanimous gift from the evil gods, because of his excessive piety and outstanding achievements, which you probably don't know. In addition, it now lives in a demonic world called Secarus, and continues to watch over and direct its legions to fight everywhere, which you probably don't know. ”

"It's just a matter of being overly religious, and that's a personal problem for Loga. He's the guy who thinks you have to have faith to back it up, or you have to kneel down or something. ”

"But this is a great feat, and it's not just the result of the very pure scum of Erebus. Someone washed the floor for Loga, saying that most of the bad things were done by Erebus, and that Loka was almost forced to rebel, and that Loga was quite honest after the rebellion and didn't make trouble everywhere. ”

"But now you know that the reward of the evil gods is the most telling thing, and if you don't fight on the front line, it may not be of any lower effect. In addition, this meritorious achievement includes the burning of various texts and documents before the betrayal of the Huai Wai by its leaders, and the establishment of the Emperor's Worship (the predecessor of the state religion) represented by the City of Perfection (Temple). ”

"I'm talking to you about this, not because I suspect that there is something wrong with the state religion. After all, since you have no objection to Robert Kiliman's awakening, it is clear that when the Emperor sat on the golden throne and Kiliman represented the Empire, you had already reached a consensus with Kiliman, and decided to use the state religion to bring the empire together to survive the difficult period. ”

"Killiman, who loyally supports the emperor's core decisions (education is enlightened, technology promotes productivity), can accept the state religion as a means of uniting people after realizing that the world is actually very mysterious, and there is no reason for a divine choice like me to let mankind run into the dark on the one-way road of technology. ”

"I want to say that there are two sides to everything, just as I tell you that the price of the Light is the accumulation of darkness. The experience of the Bearer has shown that the establishment of religion is also very good for the evil gods. The Whisperer is the only Chaos Space Marine to retain the Priesthood class, these evil priests called the Dark Apostles, who are superior to the officers, and when the Dark Apostle falls, the entire legion celebrates martyrdom Mass for them, and then the officers of the Apostle's company are executed. ”

"In the holy war before the rebellion, the Whisperers had stories of slow progress, but the occupied areas were completely reformed. This style is still maintained today. And because the people of the empire have a tradition of faith, after converting, they can quickly become qualified cultists of evil gods. This is also an important reason why there are more and more fanatical cult believers. ”

And, you have to notice that the emperor doesn't really answer prayers and answers. But evil gods are okay. There is no need for a professional priest, as long as it is a chaos wizard, or even a newly awakened psionic energy connected to the subspace, he can appear in front of people by summoning evil gods or demons. The two are almost the difference between the true God and the hypocrite. So, don't blame the people of the empire for not having a firm faith. Faith is a double-edged sword, and the more you rely on it, the more you hurt the empire. ”

"You go back and sum it up, and when Killiman wakes up, he will contact the emperor and then sum it up together. Thinking of a charter, it really makes the evil gods completely understand the benefits of a stable supply of the power of faith, and make the world of the contender as the hole card, how can their opponents play?"

It is equivalent to a meal after the number of the three generations of Duben, and the private chat basically came to an end.

Kane's words were a bit rushed, but they were actually well-intentioned, and he believed that with the emotional intelligence of Atsumoto III, he could understand it.

Because the emperor's talent is rough, but he has a low emotional intelligence.

If he really has some so-called imperial means of entrapment and balance, even if the twenty sons rebel, they will not rebel half of them.

And the emperor was a materialist. When the time comes, the emperor scolds the foolish people for the strategy, so that the empire can return to the way of science and technology to open up the people's wisdom, is it implemented or not?

If you don't implement it, why bother contacting him? Execution can't be carried out at all. Now human beings are the main leeks of the four evil gods, at least in the galaxy, human civilization follows the rules and regulations of science and technology, and the evil gods use unreasonable transcendent cutting leeks, isn't this looking for abuse? It is impossible to carry it out. After all, there are really cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and there are also extraordinary people, which are no longer clear that science can explain, how do you let people be materialistic?

Therefore, there must be a charter for the specific operation of this matter, such as first waking up Kiliman, and then contacting the emperor when he is good, and then sorting out a plan to solve the problem step by step.

Don't be fast, several projects were opened at the same time, the inquisition court contacted the emperor, and was ordered to kill the state religion, what should the state religion do?

As for why the Inquisition contacted the Emperor first, you must know that in the original history, the Inquisition tried several times to pull the Emperor up from the Golden Toilet (the Toilet is said to be because the Golden Throne suppressed the broken network) through the alien (such as the Spirit Death Envoy Ivonne, it is not in vain that there are aliens in the Alien Inquisition) to pull the Emperor up from the Golden Toilet (the toilet is said to be because the Golden Throne suppresses the broken network), but the result was unsuccessful because of the obstruction of the Praetorian Guard. So their eagerness for this is very real, and it's hard to say anything else.

Although Kane can now rely on some information that everyone wants to know and the benefits that everyone wants to obtain, he will hold a high-level meeting. In practice, however, the relationship between these departments is not harmonious.

That's why it's reminded. If you really want the court to contact the emperor first, there may be some turmoil.

The boss meeting is over, and it's time for the event to move its legs and feet. Boarding a ship infected by the plague to inspect it can be regarded as a front-line investigation.

The main visit was to the Emperor-class battleship Sword of Kings, and then a few merchant ships were selectively inspected.

The situation was roughly similar to what he expected, the chain was the focus, and the first wave of plague that killed people was the kind that was more powerful, but had a short survival time.

After killing their hosts, they soon die out on their own. But they provide a living environment for another plague germ.

This virus, which can be understood as tuberculosis virus, is mainly transmitted by droplets, has an incubation time of 7-12 days, and although it is not fatal, it can cause permanent damage to people, making the respiratory system fragile and functional.

But to say, if you have this disease, once you can't treat it in time, even if you are cured later, you will be half-wasted, and you will definitely not be able to do anything with heavy physical work, and you also have requirements for the environment, such as areas with serious dust and haze and exhaust emissions, you can't stay, considering the general situation in the entire empire today, it is really vicious enough, especially once it spreads in the city of Chaodu, it will trigger a humanitarian disaster.

The main resource exported by Chaodu is population. The living conditions of people below the middle level are often very bad, once this disease is a pandemic, the main export resources are hit hard, but there are a large number of mouths that cannot work to feed, making the situation that they can barely feed the people by relying on foreign imports to make the situation more and more severe.

"Miranda, what nests are nearby?"

Miranda quickly listed, and Kane glanced at the location and general situation of each nest, pointing to one of them, "Here, Mobinga!"

Mobinga is a slang term in Lower Gothic with a strong accent.

The Human Empire of Warhammer 40K uses Upper Gothic, which is roughly equivalent to English with Latin features, and Lower Gothic, which is closer to Anglo English.

However, with the great colonization of the galaxy, the same Lower Gothic, two different places can reach the point of having no idea what the other is saying, or even writing.

Of course, the reason for this is that the policy of fooling the people is also the main factor, otherwise it would not be so exaggerated, at least not written.

Upper Gothic is more standardized, but it's like an authentic London accent, and the number of people who play it is very limited.

Mobinga means a mountain-like factory, referred to as factory mountain.

Mobinga used to be a mountain of factories.

It is an important producer of munitions for the Obscure Star Domain Empire's Defense Forces. These include light weapons such as laser guns, shotguns, and shotguns (bullets with rocket-propelled bullets, which are as large as Earth's anti-materiel rifles, and have various types of bullets, including psionic protection), as well as combat vehicles, artillery, sentry mechs, etc., which are mainly based on Riemannus tanks and various derivatives, and of course, ammunition.

And then the planet was drained.

The peaks were flattened to collect the ore within. Rivers and oceans have become pools of wastewater for dumping chemical sewage. Fertile forests have disappeared beneath the rapidly expanding megastructures and industrial plants, man-made peaks are taller than the originals, and reinforced concrete jungles are denser than primeval forests.

When the minerals that are easy to mine are exhausted, then look for them in the depths of the earth and the depths of the ocean.

Eventually, the technology will no longer support deep mining, and the cost will be too high.

The land is full of holes, the wasteland is desertified, the ocean is completely polluted, the sky is almost permanently dusty, and the factories have become a long stretch of ruins, with only huge buildings and a large population.

Well, there are countless years of human beings making all kinds of garbage, including scraps from factories. People are learning to extract value from everything they can find.

It can be said that if the natives of the radiation world come to the nest capital world of Warhammer 40K and look at the broken world outside the nest capital world, they can cry at once, and they have no chance to pick up the rags at all!

The world of the nest capital can be said to be similar, the characteristic is that the resources have been exploited, and the originally good life planet has become a ghost planet with a harsh environment.

However, no matter how bad the environment is, it can't be as bad as people.

The Warhammer 40K universe is called the Universe of Despair, not for nothing. The cyber style that Kane experienced when he first came was quite good, at least with the concept of cyber.

There are no cybers in the nest, and no one has harvested good organs, so how can the poor live? Guess?

Man-cannibalism? almost. To the extreme, it's all people eating people, but the way to eat is not to chop to death and cook it directly in the pot, it's not that there is a trace of the bottom, but that way of eating is a bit extravagant, and it can be more economical.

Worker. That's right, unimaginably cheap.

The corresponding human resources are the last resources of the nest.

This is what the official sells to the outside world, and this is what the gangs fight for.

Then, the social pattern caused by different systems, different management concepts, and different past backgrounds will also distinguish the nests that have nothing but people.

Like the Great Migration of Sector 8 jointly organized by the First Order, the Empire, the Gothic Local Government, and the Gothic Navy.

It involves several nests in the Gothic Star Zone.

In order to be able to migrate smoothly, the First Order came up with a planetary transformation plan, the empire gave policies and loan subsidies (in the form of purchasing imperial equipment), and the local government of the Gothic star district also introduced a local support policy, so as to pull the nest capital out of the negative state, cut out a large number of manpower, change its bloated population at the same time, and make it transform.

The mega-city is still a mega-city, but the vast area has become an agricultural reclamation area, a pastoral area, and the ocean also has agriculture such as sea vegetables, sea wheat, fish and shrimp, and then the mega-city buys agricultural and animal husbandry products from them, processes them, and exports them. This means eating by the sun.

At present, due to the technical bull breaking of the first order, the sky and the earth have changed color when they see it, so in general, the big plan is going smoothly.

Of course, the details are actually very complicated, such a big action, affecting so many people, so it is possible?

However, the empire has always been tough in this regard, the army has political commissars, and the people have courts, all of whom dare to shoot directly, and dare to stand in the way, then you want to die. As for the Astarte monks, they generally don't care about these things, and they are not allowed to take care of them, but if there is an official demand, they can generally be moved. And they have always worked with the pace of not knowing their relatives.

Therefore, what kind of black gang enmity, aristocratic downfall history, Luo Zhu Liang Zhu and other down-to-earth things, Kane can't see it, and he doesn't pay attention to it, it doesn't matter, the pain of change is normal.

And this plague attack on the ship made him have to turn his vision to this part again.

After all, the world of the nest capital is the easiest to detonate public resentment, and once the plague takes the opportunity to invade, it is the easiest to cause a large number of deaths.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he is a chaotic force, after the merchant ship test, the next target must be the nest capital.

And the nest capital, naturally, chooses the easiest one to start, and the impact is big enough after the thing is done.

So much of it is Mobinga.

Without further ado, Kane gave Miranda an order to send a search and reconnaissance team from Khulna to dig up the Plague Claw.

At the same time, send an escort fleet to bring the attacking ship regiment back to the fortress of Antioch for repair.

Because the ships over there were repaired every day, and when they left, the ships carried some goods, and all the merchant ships that had been attacked were taken away. As for the specific situation, you can contact the company or individual to which the merchant ship belongs, and ask them to discuss the treatment plan with the owner of the repaired ship.

As for the ship, the official directly sent the money, and when he turned around, he gave the ship to the official, and then made other arrangements. These details are not the point, but they need to be taken care of as well as possible. Don't get resentment because of these subsections, a lot of hatred erupts, that's how little it comes. Kane still has this emotional intelligence.

Then it was time to contact the branch of the imperial administration in the Hazy Star Domain, he was going to Mobinga on business, and it was still necessary to make a temporary official tiger skin, and it would be more convenient to give the official face. The face of a saint is not suitable for this kind of trivial matter.

So less than a quarter of an hour later, the search and reconnaissance brigade of the First Order poured out.

This unit was also newly formed, and the ships used were all newly built.

Including three Queen-class search and reconnaissance motherships, USS Victoria, USS Elizabeth, and USS Margaret.

Each mothership carries 36 Wheel of Fortune-class reconnaissance ships.

This reconnaissance ship belongs to the Great Alcana-class series of light ships, and its appearance resembles an enlarged rudder, and it is not a ship.

The parts that resemble rudder rods and analogue scales are large energy generators. The principle is the same as radar, but it is extraordinary. Therefore, this kind of ship is actually the product of the combination of science and magic, and in this universe, it can be classified as the ancient saint series.

The search and reconnaissance mothership is like a disc rack, and the search and reconnaissance ships are usually inserted into it one by one, forming a neat column.

The mothership has the shape of a killer whale at the front and a massive powertrain at the tail, allowing it to gain a non-jump cruise speed of 50% of the speed of light.

Search and reconnaissance carriers and search and reconnaissance ships are both unmanned ships.

Whether it is reaching or descending from 50% of the speed of light, the process is extremely dangerous for normal humans.

Overcoming this danger requires a series of specialized load-resistant designs.

It would be a great simplification to omit it.

Of course, there are autonomous robots on the ship that can replace some of the roles of humans.

Kane's technology is not a problem even if the whole system is nanoscaled.

But combined with the actual situation, he did not come up with top-level technology, at least not all at once.

Traditional mechanical units and maintenance modes can be seen everywhere on the search mothership. It's just that if you don't have a certain cognitive concept in advance, it's not easy to recognize them.

These robots don't need to pay attention to their appearance in order to please human sensory needs, or even deliberately design them into human form. They have a variety of strange appearances, many of which are more like an ugly and changeable device.

But their expertise is powerful. And it's all self-contained units. It is also equipped with an extraordinary corrosion resistance system.

It can be said that it is simply impossible to expect a wave of EMP strikes, or a spell, to paralyze the intelligent devices on the entire ship or change allegiance.

Moreover, these ships are not purely mechanically controlled, but also manned.

A dedicated remote control team, through quantum entanglement instant communication, to control the ship, army mode, shift system, the same lot, occasionally handed over to AI, but even in that case, there are humans on duty.

Human-machine hybridization, this is already the highest level of routine operation that Kane said can be given. No matter how high it is, it will have to carry his will carrier to make the ship even more transcendent.

Although there are many advantages to doing so, it is also tantamount to giving his enemies a way to peek into the secrets of his deity by means of capture and explanation.

With the dispatch of the three search and reconnaissance motherships, the three large nets gradually spread out in the hazy star field.

According to the estimation of the Milan segment, after 12 hours, it will be able to envelop the vast space of a quarter of the hazy star field, forming an invisible net that is not leaky, and then it will be a dragnet advancement.

At that time, the entire hazy star field will be filtered and marked as targetable, and then there will be a more targeted tracking search......
