Chapter 396, The Mechanica's Visitation
The Alliance's approach to the Flying Wings is actually similar to the Fatcher Star to some extent.
Steady monetary reform, nationalization reform of key industries, welfare policies covering state-owned enterprises and government personnel, and finally pushing the ranks to the whole people and all industries, and reforming private enterprises with no guarantees at all into private start-ups with the characteristics of the alliance system......
The Winged Star looks much more developed than the three Fasts, but after the Alliance actually took over both places, it found that the gap was not as big as expected.
The development degree of Fastces' three stars is 2, and it has barely been pulled up to 3, and he is already crying for his father and mother;
Winged Star carries a level 5 development degree, and it is still having a good time.
The biggest gap between the two places is in that shipyard. This is a profit of about 2.5 billion a year, and Falchers has no place to make up for it;
Coupled with the money that Flying Wing Star has reduced and earned in the star district government, various academies, especially the Naval Academy, it has directly made up for the imperial taxes, and it is even rich.
In addition to these aspects, the Flying Wing Star is only better than the Fasters Star in terms of natural environmental conditions, and the overall productivity and social civilization are not much different.
In this case, the alliance can completely strip away the shipyard, administration, and education, and the rest can be fine-tuned by applying the three-star policy of Fastchers.
As long as the shipyard and all kinds of supporting factories continue to operate, maintain production capacity, and ensure that the treatment of workers can be guaranteed under the rank system, then the problem of receiving is not big.
In fact, it is exactly that.
The difficulty of taking over the shipyard is not even as big as some process reforms later.
For some masters in the shipyard, Flying Wing Star has been manufacturing all kinds of starships of all sizes for hundreds of years. You so-called technical experts from the Raging Owl and from the so-called alliance are nothing more than a bunch of mud legs, who came to teach us how to build ships?
Isn't that a joke!
However, under the impetus of power, the initial changes were reluctantly passed—of course, because some enlightened 'masters' did find some merit in these improvements, so let's try them.
Then, in this trial, facts speak louder than words.
Higher quality, lower cost, higher production efficiency...... These things are real, they can't be faked, and they can be seen immediately.
The mechanics from the Angry Owl shipyard were immediately embraced.
At the same time, there is a looming inquiry.
In the Pegasus region, the Mecha does not have too much power, their casting world is not here, and they do not have a church and a clear organization of the Mecha in the Pegasus region.
However, throughout the empire, the influence of the Mechonist religion was pervasive, even permeating the ordinary.
The most common titles, such as junior commissioner and technical commissioner, are widely found in many factories and even in the military. Some of them have graduated from some technical colleges and received certificates; Some of them passed the exam later. They may not have a strong religious background, but the credentials issued to them, whether by technical colleges or technical associations, are applied for from a foundry world.
In the teaching of serious technical colleges, there is a content of mechanical theology; In the examination of the technical association, there is also a theological knowledge assessment, as well as theological discourse content, and the more advanced the one, the more difficult it is.
And what is the casting world? The name can be called is a world completely controlled by the Mechanics. The Foundry World doesn't even pay Imperial Tax, and the official statement is that whether it's the Foundry World or the Space Marines' Home World, they are all serving the Empire in another way, so they don't need to pay Imperial Tax.
This statement is also correct, the casting of the world is the creation of most of the weapons and equipment of the imperial army, most of the construction work, most of the naval ships; In the Astral Army, there are countless technical specialists and mechanical priests sent by the Mechanic Sect to handle ordnance with the army, and even participate in the battle themselves; The apologists and the Titan legions, which belong to the Mechanic Cult, are simply a major force to be reckoned with in the Empire.
But if you take it a step further, it may still be a little shallow to understand that the Mechanic Church does not have to pay taxes if it takes on these responsibilities.
Some say—just some say—the emblem of the Empire: the double-headed eagle, with the Holy Terra at one end and the Martian Casting World at the other.
Whether this is true or not, it at least illustrates an important point: they do not pay taxes, not because they pay, but because of their special status; They pay for the Empire, not because they have any obligations, but because the Mechonia can be considered almost the most important original shareholder of the Empire.
Only someone like Gu Hang, who has redeveloped from a dead world like Raging Owl, doesn't have too much infection from the Mechanistic Sect - but even so, the most trusted technical expert under his command, Ms. Wu Jiarong, is also from the Mechanistic Sect; The technical certificates issued by the newly built technical colleges on the Angry Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star are all 'pheasant' certificates, and no one recognizes them when they go outside.
And it's not going to last long. In fact, Wu Jiarong already had a plan and was going to go to the nearest casting world, Jin Di Xing, to get this matter done.
Jin Dixing belongs to the Mingyang sect under the Mechanistic Sect.
The Mingyang Sect has a small reputation among the many sect branches within the Machine Sect, but it is not a particularly small sect. Their influence in the entire Eastern Universe is the highest sect.
In the Tianma Star Zone, all technical professional certificates have a small, bright yellow round sun around the fire symbol, which is the symbol of the Mingyang Sect.
The Flying Star Shipyard has nothing to do with mechanics in theory, but in such a technology-intensive industry, how can it be free from influence?
In the shipyard, there is even a ruling bishop. Although people do not preach, only serve as technical experts and technical consultants, they must wear a red robe when they travel, and they must hang the brand of the Mechanism on their bodies, carrying scriptures, and their greatly transformed bodies make him look inhuman but 'sacred'.
At least by Mechanistic standards, it's sacred.
Down, there aren't so many engine prophets, but the mechanical priests have a lot of them.
In the past, the alliance 'fought a little', even if it took out something like a war dog-level titan on the battlefield of Koroga, it was actually not too serious. Although the Casting World doesn't sell Titans much, it always sells a little; As for the technology of the Titans produced, it is a secret that is not classified - it is not clear that the technology is forbidden to leak, but in fact, there is not much Titan production capacity outside of the Mechachanism.
The scale of the alliance is still not large, and the number of appearances of war dogs is not much, but despite this, it has still attracted the attention of people with a heart, but these attention has not had any direct impact on Gu Hang.
However, this kind of time of just watching, without action, does not last long.
People are staring, originally to have action.
And now, with the construction capacity of another starship, Gu Hang directly set up a shipyard on the Angry Owl Star, which is even more eye-catching.
Starship Manufacturing, unlike Titan Manufacturing, is monopolized by the Casting World. However, in terms of technology and industrial scale, starship building is a more advanced and complex industry than the construction of War Dog Titans.
It's not a small matter to be able to build a starship.
What's more, the starship manufacturing technology of the Angry Owl now seems to have a lot of uniqueness, and it can even play a guiding role in an old shipyard like Flying Wing, so this can't be ignored.
After the Coalition took over the shipyard, they caught five sneaky people in two days, and they probed their brains to check the Coalition's renovation of the shipyard while no one was around.
To be honest, the current alliance's control over the Flying Wing Star Shipyard is not high, even if it is so, it can catch such a few people, so those who are not caught may have to be a hundred times more than this number.
A few days later, Gu Hang ushered in an expected visitor.
The reigning bishop of the Mingyang Sect of the Mechanic God Cult and the casting advisor of the Flying Wing Star Shipyard, Wang Zhaoran.
What should come will always come.
Even, Wang Zhaoran came much more gently than Gu Hang thought at the beginning.
Without questioning, without further drastic action, Wang Zhaoran just performed his duties in the shipyard and sent an application for a meeting with Gu Hang, the head of the star district.
The reason for the meeting was also clearly stated, it was for the new technology on the Flying Star Shipyard.
The intention of the people seemed to be above board, but it made Gu Hang have no room to refuse.
It's not that you can't refuse, but why?
He is a foundry advisor and the reigning bishop of the Mechanical.
Isn't it natural to see new technologies and ask where they come from?
On the contrary, if Gu Hang chooses to refuse, it will seem that he is weak-hearted.
Although he does have a bit of a weak heart.
However, for this kind of expected thing, Gu Hang also has a plan.
After determining the meeting time, Gu Hang also found his most important technical expert, Ms. Wu Jiarong.
Taking over the Wingstar shipyard is a big deal for the Alliance, and there is no room for mistakes in technology. Wu Jiarong and the technical team she trained by herself came here in person to deal with the shipyard matters.
It was just right for her to face Wang Zhaoran.
At the beginning of the meeting, Gu Hang was also there. But soon, he found another reason and left the scene, letting Wu Jiarong and Wang Zhaoran, two people with technical backgrounds, talk by themselves.
Of course, Gu Hang is also fully capable of monitoring the content of the conversation. He also has full trust in Wu Jiarong, and Ms. Wu will not talk nonsense.
This is also the method that Gu Hang had already thought about earlier, and he would deal with a series of technical sources that he couldn't explain, such as the black box: all of them were pushed to Wu Jiarong's head.
Anyway, it is said that Wu Jiarong researched it, she knows this, and brought these technical abilities to the Angry Owl Star and helped the development of the alliance.
As for how Wu Jiarong learned these techniques herself, it was the inspiration from the God of Ten Thousand Machines, the divine revelation she received when praying, plus some knowledge she already knew, and she understood it thoroughly.
It sounds, but it's not entirely impossible.
And Wu Jiarong did deal with Wang Zhaoran according to these statements that had been prepared for a long time.
The two of them didn't talk about this issue for a long time. Later, more content is still in the process of technical exchanges.
In this regard, Wu Jiarong will not have any problems. For so many years, she has been immersed in the sea of countless black boxes alone, and she has learned a lot of research, and her level has been rising steadily. Now, it may be a bit of a gap to say that she has the knowledge and skills at the level of a ruling bishop, after all, she is not yet proficient in many techniques. However, it is just a theory, just an academic discussion, and she will not have any problems.
After so many years of research, some of the technical ideas and ideas she put forward are very groundbreaking and enlightening for Wang Zhaoran.
The archon's mechanical voice even clearly brought excitement.
The two chatted for a long time, and when the end ended, Wang Zhaoran was still a little unsatisfied.
He took the opportunity to propose it and invited Wu Jiarong to go to the shipyard the next day to have a detailed chat.
Wu Jiarong readily agreed.
Then, he brought it up again and wanted to go to the Raging Star to have a look, especially to see Wu Jiarong's research center.
Wu Jiarong also agreed.
What can't come?
I used to be weak-minded, but now, all the black boxes are hidden in the Storm God Kingdom. As long as Gu Hang doesn't want to, who can break into his territory in subspace and overturn his old bottom?
If you want to see it, then just go and see it generously.
Even, in the future, if the ruling bishop made any request for exchange students, Gu Hang was ready to directly agree.
Fearless.
After sending Wang Zhao away, Wu Jiarong said to Gu Hang: "He must still be suspicious." ”
"It's good to let him doubt it, no matter what we do, we can't dispel these suspicions, can we?"
"Indeed."
"Then let's be generous. These things are very troublesome and even dangerous. However, it has reached this point, don't we need to use it because of the risk? That's something even more unlikely. ”
Wu Jiarong nodded, she faced Gu Hang and said, "Now, Lord Governor, you are not the same as before. If it had been just because of a suspicion, there would have been a recovery fleet of the Mechanics that would have run to the Raging Owl and turn our territory upside down. But now, your position makes the Mecha Sect, which has always been a maverick, have to be treated with caution. Without clear evidence, they won't go too far in plain sight. As for private means, we are not afraid. ”
After thinking for a moment, she continued, "I look forward to the future of the alliance to be stronger, and at that time, even if we openly use the black thoughts, people will not dare to beak. ”
