Chapter 223, a message from the world of the nest

Ms. Wang Qi came and went in a hurry.

After the night, she left in a spaceship.

To go from Raging Owl to Black Arrow, you only need to do one astral tunnel shuttle in between. Combined with the time required for normal navigation in the starry sky, it looks like about six or seven days in total.

There is still some time before the family meeting is held. However, she must have arrived a little earlier, and she needs to remove some uncertainties before the conference starts, so that things can be more confirmed.

After bidding farewell to his mother and three divisions and brigades, Gu Hang returned to his normal working state.

He was waiting for the results of the family meeting, waiting for the crown of his family master, waiting for the five million tax coins that his own mother was going to give him.

With so much money, you can buy a lot of good things.

For example, Space Marine Power Armor; Terminator armor; The key component for the construction of the starport - it can be produced, but it is too slow, and if you have the money, you can import it to speed up the progress.

Even, save more, or ask his mother for more sponsorship, he even wants to make some bigger moves.

For example, the transformation of the planet's surface environment.

The three central provinces and the three eastern provinces, this vast land is dominated by waste soil, which is difficult to cultivate, the environment is harsh, and the waste energy storm is raging...... The Empire must have special technology that can change the planet's environment.

This in itself is a precursor to large-scale interstellar colonization. His ultimate goal is to be able to subside the wasted energy storm.

The greatest value of the Angry Owl before the war was the energy exploitation of the Linghua gas field.

Nowadays, the waste energy storm that is raging in many parts of the planet is essentially the spiritual energy that passes through the crystal wall of the spirit world, and it has lost the environment that is bound and settled in a certain place, and it can no longer form a spiritual gas field; But this energy is there, and it becomes an uncontrollable storm.

And if the wasteland environment of the Raging Star can be revised, and the method of restraining and settling spiritual energy can be regained, and the spiritual qi field can be formed, then the value of the entire planet will suddenly soar to an extremely high level.

Of course, this price is very expensive. If you want to complete the transformation of the climate and environment of the entire planet, it will often cost tens or even tens of billions of tax coins.

Empires are generally not willing to invest huge resources to change the environment of a certain planet and carry out interstellar colonization. With that money, it is better to build a fleet, and maybe you can take back more than one planet from the hands of those enemies of the empire in a certain war.

Of course, if there is something of great value - whether it is the value of the planet itself or the strategic value of its location, then the Empire will still invest in it.

Because of this, the relevant technical capabilities still exist.

Gu Hang can't afford to spend this money.

If he could scrape together tens of billions of tax coins to do things to transform the planet's environment, he would probably not lack the income from the waste energy storm to re-immerse himself in the spiritual gas field at that time.

After all, no matter how coveted the output of the Linghua gas field is, the huge investment in the early stage is here, and it will take many years to recover the investment cost.

However, the fact that Gu Hang can't afford to invest this money at the moment doesn't mean that he can't find it from other aspects.

For example, Gu's.

With such a good investment project, wouldn't the Gu family be tempted?

I, the head of the family, are all moved!

……

Before the results of the family meeting held on the Black Arrow Star arrived, Gu Hang first received another piece of news.

This news comes from the planet Koroga 3.

There are two planets in the Koroga system, of which Koroga 1 is a mineral resource planet, but it is very unlivable, and the resident population may only be one million, mainly miners, and some industries that serve miners.

The Koroga 3 in the same galaxy next to it is the largest and most populous nest world in the Pegasus Star Zone.

There are 41.8 billion people living there!

To be honest, it was really hard for Gu Hang to imagine how a planet could be stuffed into it and inhabited by more than 40 billion people.

He hadn't been to Koroga 3 in person, but he had heard that the wild environment of that world was basically gone, and it was all desolate land. A large population, living in about twenty 'nest capitals'.

The so-called 'nest capital', as the name suggests, is a huge 'nest'.

A lair of man.

Essentially, it's a city. It's just that compared to the city in Gu Hang's concept, there is a huge difference. It tends to hollow out the underground part of an entire area, as the bottom of the nest capital, where a large number of low-level people live; The middle layer of the nest capital may have some industrial output; The upper districts are mainly administrative, commercial, and powerful residences, and key industrial areas.

People living in the middle and lower classes, who make up the vast majority of the population, may never see the sun in their entire lives.

chaos, death, disease, poverty...... These things are entangled with the people of the nest capital.

Their average life expectancy is probably about 40 years old.

Disease, death from overwork, malnutrition, vendettas...... This is their main cause of death.

In addition to these, the main population loss of Koroga 3 comes from...... Imperial Tax.

If there is a specialty of Koroga 3, it is the population.

The empire defines the standard annual gross domestic product of an imperial person as 1 tax coin. And a young and middle-aged living person, when paid as a tax, is worth 5 tax coins.

It is clear that under the value system of the empire, human life has a price: it is only 5 years of output.

Koroga has a population of more than 40 billion people, and they have to pay 4.2 billion yuan in taxes every year. Among them, more than half of the tax is paid by the population.

They pay 500 million people a year, which is 2.5 billion in taxes; And then pay more than a billion yuan of industrial products, processed food and the like, this is where their tax structure comes from.

Koroga 3 is poor, very miserable, and the people above it are in dire straits. But in reality, as a whole, it's a powerful and wealthy planet.

The 40 billion people are the biggest source of wealth.

The entire Pegasus Star Zone, which belongs to Koroga 3 and the capital Flying Wing, can reach four billion taxes a year. Flying Wings is because of its development, and Koroga 3 is a lot of people.

And at this moment, on Gu Hang's planet, there is really a group of guests from Koroga No. 3 - the battle nuns of the Holy Cilily.

This interstellar phone call is also looking for them.

The caller is a bishop of the Imperial State Church on Koroga No. 3, named Zhao Qinghong, who is the head of the State Church in the Diocese of Koroga. He asked Gu Hang about the whereabouts of Sister Gretel, and after learning that he could not be contacted for the time being, he left a message:

"I ask Sister Gurrite to get back to me as soon as possible, I have an urgent matter to inform her."

"No problem." Gu Hang agreed first, and then couldn't help asking, "But ...... May I ask, what is it exactly? ”

Bishop Zhao Qinghong hesitated for a moment, but finally gave an answer: "On Koroga, there are several nests that have broken out into cult incidents that are difficult to contain, we need the strength of Sister Gruette, she has to come back as soon as possible." ”

This statement made Gu Hang feel a little surprised.

What kind of emergency situation requires the elder nuns on other planets to come back and help?

That looks like a serious deal.

But if it's really serious, how much effect can it make for Goritte to go back with twenty or thirty battle nuns?

How do you think about it, how do you think it's weird.

As if sensing Gu Hang's doubts, Bishop Zhao Qinghong on the other side gave an answer: "We need a nun who can control the armor of the 'Valkyrie' to solve some problems that cannot be solved under normal circumstances." ”

Valkyrie Armor ......

This is really the first time Gu Hang has heard of it.

But he didn't want to ask any more questions, people obviously still had something.

After the communication hung up, Gu Hang sent a message to Gray.

Speaking of these battle nuns, they had helped Gu Hang a lot.

When he reclaimed Fuxing City, the nuns of the Holy Lily, together with the space marines of the immortal birds, helped him stand up to the situation with high-end combat power.

Then, this group of fighting nuns who couldn't stay idle and died another sister directly connected with the cultists of the original Raging Owl Sect.

Even, Gruet also shook another group of people from her hometown, and now, there are more than thirty battle nuns active on the Angry Owl Star in total.

They have thoroughly investigated the situation of the cultists, followed the clues, and headed all the way north, and it has been a year now.

Of course, they didn't stay north all the time. They often come back for a period of time to recuperate, replenish ammunition, heal their wounds, and gather information.

At the same time, the alliance has always maintained a military force in the central and northern provinces.

The 9th Garrison Division of the Union, which has always been there. In addition to suppressing the locals, they also have an important task, which is to cooperate with the actions of the Battle Nuns.

Further north from the central northbound province is the so-called Northland region. According to the clues obtained by the Battle Nuns, the lair of the Primordial Raging Cult and the place where they have the most influence is located.

Their operations in the north have been supported by the 9th Garrison Division.

The alliance is not without its benefits.

The most direct embodiment is that the Ninth Division of the Central and Northern Provinces has obviously never had any major military operations, but the area of the province has also expanded a lot in this year.

That's what it was up to the fighting nuns.

During the year, they conquered a number of settlements—not necessarily by force, but sometimes by mission.

Often, when they find clues or traces of a cult somewhere, they rush over to remove the influence of the local cult elements, and then leave in a hurry to move on to the next target.

And the army of the alliance happily followed behind and took over the settlement.

Of course, the 9th Division is not completely playing soy sauce and picking up cheap.

In fact, the Sisters of War sometimes run into some troubles that they find difficult to deal with.

In a small number of small-scale confrontations, the battle nuns who had nun power armor and the blessings of the Divine Cult were not afraid of those indigenous cultists. However, after all, the Primordial Rage Cult is deeply entrenched in many places in the north. They sometimes mobilize the masses and use the power of the settlements to gather a large number of men and armed forces to encircle and suppress them.

And often at this time, that is when the Ninth Division comes out.

Although it is a garrison division, it is a second-line unit of the alliance, but it is always a regular army. More than 6,000 soldiers, 60 artillery pieces, and more than 300 trucks. Every time the nuns moved, there were always soldiers from the 9th Division on standby outside.

When they were in big trouble, at the sound of a shout, 155 howitzers fell from the sky, bombarded their enemies, and opened a bloody path for them.

If necessary, troop trucks would rush with at least one battalion, if any, several battalions of soldiers.

At the moment, such a combination still looks invincible.

In the Northland region, the Primordial Rage Cult has carried out several encirclement and suppression operations so far, but they have not been able to deal with the Battle Nuns.

For example, in Fuxing City, the reason why they were able to make such a big battle was because they had prepared several years in advance, established a windmill array, and called for the evil god to come.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, where is the opponent of the battle nuns.

To be honest, the battle nuns are leaving, and Gu Hang is still quite reluctant.

Who doesn't like working for nothing?

The Primordial Raging Cult had never made trouble in the south for more than a year. That's because the battle nuns are in the north, and the pressure on them is very great, they are too busy to take care of themselves, where is the time to go to the south to do things around?

And now, they are leaving, and the pressure on the north side has to be borne by themselves.

However, Gu Hang couldn't do anything to suppress the news and keep silent.

That's shameless.

The point is that in the future, it is easy for the originally harmonious relationship to turn against each other.

There is no need.

If it had been before, he would still have been worried about whether the Primordial Raging Owl Sect would have a relatively large negative impact.

But now, the alliance has long since emerged from its nascent fragility. The alliance, which united a population of 22 million, was already a behemoth that the original Raging Owl Sect could only look up to. Even if they want to make trouble, they can only hide in the dark and be rats.

What's more, now he also has other options that he can use against these guys.

He planned to recruit another group of heretical witchers, and after training them, send them to the north to take over the unfinished business of the Battle Nuns.

……

Three days later, Gu Hang met Gorit in Fuxing City.

Through the smooth communication between the Central and Northern Provinces and Gerant, Gu Hang had already told her about the letter from her hometown.

In fact, they have met more than once in the past year.

When people work day jobs and come back to rest, Gu Hang, who is the boss, has to go to condole.

And this meeting, as in the past, Gruet seemed dusty.

"Bishop Zhao is telling me to go back now, but it's really not the right time." Sister Gretel looked helpless, "We've got a crucial clue, the sisters have found a stronghold at the heart of the Primordial Raging Cult, and we've even got a handle on what they're going to do next...... But this is the time! ”

She was very unwilling.
