Chapter 213, Heretic Witcher
Another three months have passed, and it is time for the late spring and summer to come.
In the past, Gu Hang had thought about this problem.
The seasonal cycle of the Raging Star is almost the same as the Earth in his impression. But here's the strange thing: isn't it alien? What daylight hours, seasonal changes, etc., can be so similar?
Later, he got a very likely answer from his memory: this is what the human pioneers of the year did look like this.
It was the era when emperors had not yet become emperors, and it was called the golden age of mankind.
In that golden age, human beings stepped out of their home planet and became the overlord of the universe with powerful technology, in-depth exploration of psionic energy, and super artificial intelligence. They opened tunnel after tunnel of psionic energy and traveled faster than the speed of light; They have transformed one potential planet after another into an environment similar to that of the human home planet through climate modification technology and orbit change technology.
And all of this, suddenly, at some point, ended by some great catastrophe. The human civilization of the Golden Age collapsed in a short period of time, the human federation with a large, unified and efficient system disintegrated, the faster-than-light navigation technology failed, and the human colonized planets instantly became isolated islands in this dark and cold universe, until the emperor appeared and the human empire was established, which reunited countless human worlds again.
The Golden Age, which was already an unverifiable period, was the most esoteric part of historical archaeology.
As far as the current knowledge goes, the collapse of the Golden Age was associated with two wars against certain alien forces; At its core, it's the rebellion of artificial intelligence.
In the current human empire, computer technology is an untouchable ban, that is, because in the current era, all computer electronic products are at risk of 'mutiny'. Even if it is a physical disconnection, it is possible that due to the invasion of psionic energy, the electronic demon will enter it, lurk, and cause heavy losses at a critical moment.
Today's human beings would rather develop and use a less humane-looking wet part like a servo skull to achieve a similar effect, rather than use an electronic computer.
Without an electronic computer, this will obviously have a great negative impact on social production, and many things in Gu Hang's memory cannot be taken out at all.
It's a pity.
He didn't intend to challenge the Empire's ban on this, and he didn't plan to see for himself what the 'electronic demon' was all about.
At present, the development of the Raging Owl Star in all aspects is very smooth, and Gu Hang doesn't want to find any additional stimulation. Those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods don't come to the door to Amitabha, he is not interested in taking the initiative to find trouble.
Farming with peace of mind and stable development will be fine.
During this time, the entire alliance was indeed quite peaceful.
That's not to say that nothing is happening in the league. On the contrary, the changes in the alliance have always been significant, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as changing with each passing day.
There is a war going on in the east, and it is almost over.
Before setting off, Yan Fangxu made a bold promise, saying that it would only take three months to pacify the eastern provinces.
Now it seems that his promise has almost been fulfilled.
There were no bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the east, and they were regular wasteland survivors, and they were swept away.
Today, in the east, the framework of three provinces has been established.
Xiongya Province bordering the Tower Province; Nanwan Province, which borders the sea in the south and borders Beiqing Valley; The northeasternmost province of Wangcha is located. The names of these three places are basically taken from the pre-war era, the most famous city in the region.
Now, the officials of the alliance have been stationed and are establishing the ruling system of the alliance in the three eastern provinces. The Central Army will continue to be stationed there for a period of time, and on the one hand, there are still some uneven points that need to be sorted out; On the other hand, we have to wait for the local defense of the eastern provinces to be built.
In short, they are not in a hurry to come back.
Here in the capital of the alliance, there are still regular garrison divisions, and a number of newly created main divisions have been formed, so there is no need to worry about the defense of the core area.
At this point, it can be said that the eastern provinces have been pacified, and six million people have been brought under the rule of the League.
At the moment, the process of unifying the entire planet is halfway through.
There are still three places in the western desert, the north, and the west of the mainland; In terms of population, the entire planet is estimated to have a population of about 40 million, and there are already 20 million, which are under the rule of the Alliance.
And in the core areas of the alliance, there are also many changes.
Weixing City continues to absorb the population and land a number of new industries, especially the military production of the [Lion Tank]. In all the mechanized composite brigades, the five main combat battalions already had tank companies. And now, this tank company is finally able to live up to its name. Each tank company consisted of three 'lions', which were truly the best at storming cities, and if necessary, the brigade's 18 lions were assembled for use, which was a formidable armoured group.
Don't think of the lion as an ordinary little tank.
A Lion has a crew of nine people, and each of them needs to perform their duties to be able to drive the tank. Bearing the name 'Light' tank, it's actually twice as big as the 'Challenger' tank, and it looks like a steel fortress on the move.
It is said that its upgraded version, the real Astral Army's main battle tank [Lion King Tank], requires a crew of twenty people, which is much larger than the lion, and its firepower is even more exaggerated.
Although the Lion tank is fierce, it is also difficult to produce. The black box can only produce four units a month; At present, the tank factories that are being built can only produce four units a month.
It takes two months to replenish the tanks needed for a synthetic brigade.
With the help of superconducting power grids, basic engineering machines, and construction engineering machines, the overall construction speed has soared all of a sudden.
Spring ploughing in the province of Beiqinggu is almost over, and according to Jason Morgan's report, it seems to have been a success, with new agricultural machinery helping. It is estimated that by the end of the year, not only will the estimated production plan be achieved, but it may be significantly exceeded.
……
Although there are so many changes, these are all promoted by Gu Hang and the alliance government, and these changes are expected, they are what he wants to see, and there are no special surprises.
In addition, the monthly bounty point income in each region is gradually increasing with the promotion of production plans.
The income of the last month has come to 2104 points.
In the last three months, the total income has been 5,988 points.
This number made him feel a little unreal.
In the past, when I was poor, I gave tens of points every month, and I made a fortune by fighting; Now, the monthly fixed income alone is already so high.
The more than 18,000 gifts in my hand before, after making a lot of things, plus ten consecutive draws of 1,000 science and technology prize pools, there are more than 500 points left.
As a result, the total has now reached more than 6,000.
Gu Hang spent 3,000 to find out ten new blood of interstellar marines, and replenished more than 500 elite soldiers into the special operations brigade.
He thought about the remaining gift points and got out the two new buildings that he had unlocked before.
The Anglican Church and the Inquisition.
These two buildings are new things that [The Great Impure: Gwaggar] spawned out of his building list after the event ended.
However, Gu Hang didn't adjust their priority too high, and the previous 18,000 gift points were not allocated to these two things when they were planned to be used.
And now, Gu Hang has another gift point in his hand, and he can consider them.
The main thing is that it's not good to draw technology cards again. On the one hand, the thousand-point grade technology card, which was drawn a little bit last time, is already a relatively good result without the Air Force, and now it is drawn again, the cost performance is not high, and it hurts too much if it is vacuumed a few times; On the other hand, even if they are not available and are drawn, the alliance is now unable to digest more high-level technology.
Anyway, the gift points saved in his hand will not lay eggs, Gu Hang simply spent them, and see how much these two new buildings can help.
[State Church: When you build a church with the Empire's state religion as your faith and put it into operation, you can redeem this option to give it to the designated church. Improve the firmness of the faith of the people in the area covered by the church, reduce all kinds of corrosion, and slightly increase the probability of the emergence of activable religious talents. Can train new troops: Priest. Exchange Value: 1500 Boons. 】
[Inquisition: After you have built an organization dedicated to cleaning up evil with the purpose of the Empire's state religion, you can designate the organization's headquarters building as the Inquisition. Increased the efficiency of all enforcers belonging to the Inquisition in clearing targeted evil targets. Can train a new class: The Witcher. Exchange price: 1500 bounty. 】
[After the construction of the courtroom, it is necessary to select a special target.] There are three types of options: Demon, Alien, and Heretic. 】
……
The construction of the church, Gu Hang is a bit of a loss.
may be because of his previous social cognition, he never felt that religion was so important.
But in reality, it is possible that he has always overlooked this.
As a planet that has already been wiped out once, the religious atmosphere on the Raging Star is actually not that heavy. But in general, almost everyone has heard of the state religion and remembers that some of the teachings and even some customs were developed from religious traditions left over from the past.
When the angry owl encounters something, he also likes to use the phrase 'the god emperor is above' to express surprise, anger, and joy...... It's like people in Gu Hang's previous life saying 'my God'.
However, Gu Hang still had doubts about whether to strengthen religious construction.
As for the new class of military priests, he looked at it and didn't pay much attention to it.
The price, rating, and even the functions overlap in many places, just like the company's political commissar. One emphasizes loyalty, the other emphasizes faith, both of which are morale-boosting and strict military discipline, but the form and method are different.
Then there is not much need.
Among the many specific effects of [Church], only the one that reduces corrosion is relatively important to him.
In addition, to build the inquisition at the back, it was necessary to have a church as a precursor building, so he pinched his nose and built one.
The location chosen is Weixing City.
In fact, if you really want to say where it is needed, it must be Beiqinggu Province. Although the problem in the Qinggu area has been solved, if you are not at ease, it is more reliable to build a building with pressure corrosion.
However, the area covered by the church is limited, and the area of Beiqinggu is vast and sparsely populated, and after the establishment of many farms, the population is particularly dispersed, and the value of building a cathedral is greatly reduced.
On the contrary, in the future, Weixing City will definitely be the most core and most populous city in the entire alliance. In fact, Weixing City has recently continued to absorb two million people.
When there are many people, the difficulty of management will inevitably rise.
Gu Hang didn't want the future Weixing City to become like the bottom of some nest capital world in his memory, where heresies and cults were rampant everywhere.
It still makes sense to build a church with pressure corrosion.
And the [Inquisition] in the back is more interesting.
Among the current institutions of the Alliance, there are indeed no relevant secret services.
And the establishment of the [Inquisition] is a better opportunity.
Among the three categories to choose from, demons need not be mentioned, and aliens mainly refer to interstellar races that fight non-humans. But this Gu Hang is not very useful.
Only the option of 'heresy' is the most interesting.
Heresy refers to traitors among the human race. In essence, they do not believe in the lord of mankind, but they are usually expanded to believe in the emperor, but in the wrong way, they can also be labeled as heretical.
Since it's dealing with human enemies, it's more interesting.
If one day in the future, Gu Hang wants to start a war with Blackbird Heavy Industries, which is on the other side of the planet, entrenched in the westernmost part of the continent, what does he need?
In addition to the military, economic and other aspects of hard power, the political aspect cannot be ignored.
Blackbird is not a homegrown power, and has the backing of the Faches family behind it. If Gu Hang wants to do it, he has to consider the impact of this aspect.
If there is a relevant inquisitor who collects some evidence that can determine that Blackbird Heavy Industries is a heretic, is that 'justified'?
This is called making claims.
On the other hand, Gu Hang didn't know much about the situation in the westernmost part of the mainland. He really needs a team to go over there and see how it goes.
So, he first instructed the Coalition Justice, Lambert Hodgson, to set up a court organization and recruit two teams of men.
Then, the building function was added and it was selected as the Inquisition.
Immediately afterwards, the two teams of people recruited were all trained to become 'heretical witchers'.
A team of people, sent to the west, with the task of 'investigating the heresy situation in the western desert and the western region of the continent', is actually doing the work of collecting intelligence.
The other team secretly patrolled the various territories of the Alliance, with the task of 'investigating heresy within the Alliance', and was actually doing anti-corruption work.
Under the Union system, corruption is heresy, and that's fine.
