The Absolute Saturn and his party gave Gu Hang strength. There is a long-term risk (Iron Armor Warband), and there is a threat that may erupt in the near future (the Ashes of the Dead).

Regardless of the distance, the reason why the ashes of the dead are a near threat is because since Brevins and his gang can find the door, then they can also do it.

Gu Hang was a little annoyed.

However, now that the tone has been set for a development response to the crisis, the focus should be placed here.

And what is the biggest development boost in the alliance?

That is, of course, the gift points in Gu Hang's hand.

The last time I spent a lot of money was four years ago.

At that time, it was mainly a wave of shipbuilding that boosted the alliance, which directly created today's industry.

And now, after four years, although the alliance has not had any large-scale wars during this period, Gu Hang's current control has stabilized within the scope of the entire Tianma Star Region, with a total population of 61 billion. In the past four years, the life expectancy of the population under the rule of the Union has increased, the fertility rate has not changed, and the key is that the mortality rate has dropped significantly. All of this has led to a very high level of population growth.

The Union population rose by about a billion during this period.

Such a high level of population growth is something that some parts of the world are afraid of.

If the population has increased a lot, then the next time the world's population is approved and taxes are set, it will be all money.

But the Union is not afraid.

More people is a good thing.

Fastces is three stars, Red Arrows, and there is still more population carrying space.

Koroga will continue to move people out of the country.

Outside of the population, the productivity of the Union has been increasing over the years.

The education system of Flying Wing Star is open to the entire star sector, and the higher quality of the population has pushed up the productivity of the Alliance.

And then bring about the improvement of living standards......

These factors, population size, quality of population, average standard of living and happiness, level of productivity...... All of them are strongly positively correlated with Gu Hang's monthly gift point income.

This also made Gu Hang's monthly income soar directly.

Four years ago, before he won the Flying Wing Star, the Three Stars of Fastces, and the Red Arrow Star, Gu Hang's Gift Points income was seven thousand—that still raised Koroga's situation a lot, and it returned to the level when he only controlled the Raging Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star earlier.

Now, that number has grown to 32,000.

That's a 4.5-fold increase.

Of course, this figure has risen gradually, not all at once, and the rate of growth has slowed down a lot recently.

But in general, Gu Hang's monthly income in the past four years has accumulated over one million.

However, although he did not spend a lot of money in one go, Gu Hang has also consumed 600,000 of them in the past four years.

The main uses are basically 'people' and 'buildings'.

More heroes have been activated, a lot of boon points have been spent on the training of political commissars at the Loyal Heir Academy, a lot of money has been spent on army training, and occasionally some genetic seeds have to be exchanged, and through the basic training template of the armor card, the personnel are screened out to replenish the blood of the Space Marines......

Many college templates, factory templates, and even church buildings were exchanged and given to some corresponding buildings in the real world, which played a role.

It is precisely because of these investments that there has been high growth.

Whether it's the growth of alliance revenue, or the growth of Grant Points income.

And now, the more than 400,000 gifts left in his hand are also time to be used in batches.

First, he planned 200,000 points, on the body of the Space Marine.

In the past, the number of immortal bird space soldiers has reached the scale of more than two hundred.

And this time, 200,000 points were smashed, and the number of immortal birds directly rose to 500.

In addition to the genetic seeds that Gu Hang directly exchanged, the first batch of new blood in the early years of the immortal bird had passed five years, and the first seed on his body had also matured and been picked.

Originally, Martins was still thinking about whether to leave some of these genetic seeds in preparation for the genetic seed taxes that the immortal bird would have to pay in the future.

This idea, after asking Gu Hang here, he was speechless.

The Empire's collection of genetic seed taxes is calculated based on how many new genetic seeds have been produced by the warband in the last ten years. This can be calculated: in the past ten years, how many new bloods have grown to the fifth stage, and how many old soldiers have died, that is, the total number of genetic seeds in ten years, and it is good to have one-tenth of them.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be too difficult for the Empire to get hold of this information. Generally speaking, the loyalty of the Space Marines is still guaranteed, and they will report a number themselves, and the Empire will accept it; If you want to monitor, it's actually a bit difficult, and the number of casualties is easy to say, after all, generally speaking, Space Marines don't fight alone, and other imperial armies will probably have some information; The development of new blood is really a bit difficult to monitor.

But it doesn't matter, the empire won't be so strict. The Mechachana and the Space Marine Management Agency will look at the total size of a warband, calculate an average, and calculate how many seeds you can hand over in ten years according to regular experience - a warband of 1,000 people, usually five to ten seeds in ten years, and if something big happens, the number of hands is about the same.

Only if the quantitative deviation is particularly large, the empire will intervene.

Then now the question arises, where does the empire know how many immortals there are at the moment?

The last time I reported the information, there were only seven immortal birds. According to common sense, a few years have passed, and no matter how much the number of immortal birds increases, there will not be many of them.

Under Gu Hang's hands, the regular experience of the Mechanics Cult and the Space Marines management organization could not be used.

The empire has very little grasp of the situation of the immortal birds. As long as you don't beep, it's hard for the empire to know how many people there are in the warband now, and how much tax they have to pay, and it's not up to them to have the final say?

Now, it is almost ten years, and when the time comes, it will be enough to say that you have a scale of 100 people, and you will have to hand over a seed.

As a result, do you Martins really want to according to the real situation?

That's too much, four or five hundred new blood to five years, forty or fifty seeds...... Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?

You are really abiding by the rules, you are really a loyal minister of the empire, and you are like this now, and you still want to pay the full amount of taxes on genetic seeds?

No wonder you can't beat the iron armor.

But Gu Hang didn't say so bluntly to Martins.

In response, he said that no new seeds should be left behind in the new blood of the warband, and all of them should be used to develop new fighters. In addition, Gu Hang will also screen out young, T1-level seedlings through the military card training system in accordance with the previous routine and give them implantation surgery.

Over the years, out of a total of 500 surgeries, 9 have failed, with a success rate of 98%.

There are two main reasons why it can have such a high success rate:

The first is that the Immortal Bird Seed is not so picky.

The second, and most central, is that each candidate is trained to T1 at the right age. Physical fitness, experience, and skills are all up to standard, and there is no problem with mental will, as long as you are not an individual who has undergone surgery, and the compatibility of your own condition with the immortal bird seed is not ridiculously low, you are unlikely to fail.

Relying on the genetic seeds generated by the new blood before, as well as the seeds exchanged by Gu Hang, the number of immortal birds has now risen to the scale of five hundred, which can be regarded as a recovery.

In the future, Gu Hang would even be able to stop exchanging genetic seeds for the immortal birds. After all, the personnel structure of the war group is very special, it is all composed of new blood, and the number of new seeds they produce in five years is even larger than that of many full war groups, coupled with the ultra-high success rate of implantation surgery, there is really no need for Gu Hang to spend extra seed money in the future, and the number will rise quickly if they continue to give birth.

At this point, the Immortal Bird is certainly not very strong, but at least it looks like a normal warband.

Many Space Marine warbands that have been at war for a long time and are not in a good situation may be on this scale.

As for the warband fleets, warband servants, mortal auxiliaries, armored vehicles, and aviation vehicles that they lacked, Gu Hang didn't have a way to give them all in one go. But there is no doubt that their next actions will not be fought alone in the form of warbands, but will definitely be with the alliance's armies. The associated war needs can be provided and compensated for by the Alliance's armies.

Although the armored vehicles piloted by mortals are not as effective as some proprietary armored vehicles that can make special neural connections to space marines, it is still the first to solve the problem of whether there is or not.

Even if Gu Hang wants to equip the Space Marines with exclusive armored vehicles now, it will be quite difficult. The Rhino Troop Carrier can be produced, but the Marauder Tank is not, let alone the Dreadnought and Apocalypse Mecha.

If you want to get it, you can only rely on outsourcing.

But outsourcing ...... That's too much to do.

If the alliance produces itself, what is actually consumed is the cost price, to put it bluntly, it is the man-hours of the personnel, the raw materials, the food and daily necessities paid to the workers...... Although the price reflected in the alliance's books is still calculated in the standard price of the empire, the budget is so much, but in fact it does not cost that much money at all.

If you buy it, you really have to consume the tax currency of the alliance, and you can't miss a dime, and even this kind of high-tech thing has a high probability and a big premium.

I had to make do with it for now.

……

200,000 smashed into the body of the undead birds, and it is expected that after the number of undead birds rises to five hundred, he will not be too worried about the problem of the ashes of the dead.

That Chaos Gang has survived more than 200 Space Marines. Preparing about 2.5 times the amount, even if the ashes of the dead immediately rushed to their faces to make a fuss, Gu Hang would have enough strength to deal with it.

If they come a little slower, a few years later, then they may have to face a standard full thousand-man battle group.

When the time comes, Gu Hang really wants to see what kind of expression will be on Chong Jihua's face.

Aren't you the blood of the greedy immortal bird?

A thousand bloodlines are placed here, and if you have the ability, you can take it.

Of course, the 200,000 gift points that smashed on the immortal bird also brought nearly 20,000 high-level soldiers of the T4-T2 ranks.

Although these people are by-products, they cannot be said to be worthless. As usual, some of them were stuffed into the 10th Brigade, and some of them were all thrown into some units with special numbers, such as the 1st Breath Brigade, the 2nd Beast Slayer Brigade, or a few skeleton divisions.

The number of the 10th Brigade is already tens of thousands, all of them are elite, and the special equipment is full, so I won't say much; The other divisions and brigade units have even formed a T4 level for all personnel, plus a comprehensive replacement of exoskeleton armor and LR series and GHS series rifles, plus more armor and firepower ratio.

Such a force, fighting an ordinary astral army, I am afraid that it can defeat twenty times the enemy.

But the key point is that such a unit is not a fighter with the enemy on the battlefield, but a sharp knife that is thrown into the key battlefield and plays a key role in the overall battle situation.

In short, this has also greatly strengthened the league's function in military construction.

And the remaining 200,000 gifts, Gu Hang thought about it and took out 100,000 for the science and technology lottery.

In this tier of 10,000 Gift Points, it is far from being drained. However, after the previous extraction, the probability of shipping now is definitely far worse than it was at the beginning.

However, if you throw away 100,000 gifts, there will always be some splashes.

For example, some advanced construction machinery and other upgraded types of technology, some less important technology, will not be mentioned.

Among these ten consecutive draws, one of the more important gains is the elite-level technology [Power Weapon].

The power sword in Martins' hand belongs to this type of weapon.

This kind of thing, to put it mildly, is indestructible. In this universe, except for a small number of materials that cannot be mass-produced, there are almost nothing in conventional armor that can block the attack of power weapons.

In addition, it is not only power swords, but also 'Thor's hammer', 'force field scepter', and 'power fists' that are equipped with a lot of Terminator armor...... All of these fall under the category of power weapons.

Power weapons aren't just for Space Marines, either.

Just like the elite warriors of the 10th Brigade of the Alliance, many of them have used chainsaw swords, and the power weapons have been modified and adapted, and they can also be used by mortals, so don't make them so big and heavy.

And if you want to increase the power of the weapon even more, these power weapons can also be made into a Seiko version. Although the cost will increase dramatically and it will be difficult to mass-produce, it doesn't matter. This was originally intended to be used for cutting-edge combat power, and the goal was to be able to come in handy when dealing with some powerful individuals.

So far, Gu Hang has concentrated on consuming 300,000 points of gifts.

He still has 100,000 on hand, and he wants to use it as a reserve fund in case of emergency.
