To live, to eat, to reproduce new individuals, these basic and ethereal and indescribable needs and desires are imprinted in the depths of the genetic code of every real organism by the actual sequence of bases and cis-acting elements, if a creature does not have these...... Let's talk a little bit about the food problem in our world and in the entire sector.

The Great Rift that has opened now has caused an almost absolute chaos in the physical galaxy, both in time and space, and the side that can see the Torch is still in the chaos of the Torch being temporarily extinguished, and those who are struggling to survive on the dark side of the Empire can only use all the resources they can find to survive the difficulties in front of them.

And as we said earlier, living, eating and reproducing, obviously living is closely related to eating, and the importance is still ranked before breeding.

The key to satisfying these two desires for human beings is fresh water and food, these two resources undoubtedly determine the life and death of hundreds of millions of mortals in the empire, even if a nest world or a savage world has a certain ability to sustain the cycle of food production, but relative to the number of people, its food reserves cannot meet the long-term needs of all people without relying on large imports.

As a result, one of the harshest and most terrible punishments that can be inflicted on a hive world is the Isolation Order, which prohibits any Imperial ship from traveling to the world where the punishment is executed until a long enough time has passed, when the original population of those worlds disappears and the planet becomes suitable for new colony ships to land again.

As for the practical application of such measures, the world of Argos Hive in the Jericho Star Sector, which is dying in the same agony and horrific as the sister planets, is an excellent example and deterrent example, and the fate of Argos Hive is undoubtedly a good warning to everyone of the punishment for those who betray the Empire and those who try to start a divisive rebellion.

Just as the medieval lords of Guterra Europa, after hanging the robbers and traitors in their realms, would leave their corpses on the gallows, erected on the sides of the road for birds to peck at and bask in the wind and sun for a long time, and the rows of rickety bones on the poles demonstrated their authority and dominance until the corpses themselves rotted enough to fall off - even though this was 10,000 years after humanity was lifted up by something of its own creation and soared into the deep sky and stars.

Perturabo had previously discussed this issue with his guardian during an afternoon of leisure, and they eventually agreed that it was the Empire's own practice of dividing planets into overly monolithic island worlds that made it feasible.

Before we can fully grasp the subspace itself, or replace the methods of safe, efficient, and reliable interstellar communication or travel in subspace, the simple and crude transformation of each planet into a functionally isolated island is undoubtedly a very brainless and quite clever way for the rulers, or colonists, to plunder resources in the shortest possible time without incurring a lot of administrative costs and energy.

Well, so with all of the above, if you happen to be an inhabitant of an agricultural world, and you live on a planet that has not been affected by war, and is itself used to produce food, might the situation seem much more reassuring than anywhere else?

Of course it is not.

In the forty-second millennium of the galaxy, an imperial agricultural world has not been, for the most part, an idyllic place of peace and relaxation as the Guteras thought it would be, with the advancement of technology and the development of human exploration.

The agricultural world, in the simple and crude nomenclature of the Empire, as the name suggests, is only a world where the Empire needs to be built into a planetary farm that transports food from the spaceport all year round.

One might think that a farm of this size can't even rest for a day, but the truth is that planets that can be transformed to the level required by the agricultural world are extremely rare, and the output of an agricultural world may need to feed the population of the surrounding galaxy and even the entire sub-sector, which in turn is related to the output of industrial products, soldiers, and tithes.

A large part of the Human Empire's vital source of rations to maintain its large Astral Corps is also produced from raw materials supplied by the agricultural world, and of course, when ration sticks and starch biscuits are not enough, the Mechanistic solution will be a by-product of promethine extraction.

If the conditions of an agricultural world itself are favorable to the level where the workers and servants above can perform regular agricultural operations in the planet's own atmosphere with little protection, then the planet itself is already a paradise and a rich place that is not one in a million, such as some agricultural worlds in World 500 or the famous Crimson Fist Warband's former home world, Ryan.

More often than not, in the agricultural world, which has been in constant operation for many years, workers must work in the fields in a haze of pesticides and fertilizers – because it doesn't take long for specially cultivated high-yielding crops to drain the fertility of the land, turning them into yellowish, flying, unnutritious dust, and the fertilizers and pesticides brought by Starship are the key to ensuring high yields.

Many more agricultural planets don't even have such privileged conditions, they could be giant cultivation cages that cover the entire planet's oceans, huge hollow hydroponic farms made of hollowed-out mountains, or huge tanks of algae and microorganisms that multiply rapidly under the high radiation energy of stars, or mysterious giant mushroom colonies underground, and even insects are the source of many protein powders - a Glocks Beast Farm would certainly be a better option.

Considering that after the Great Rift, due to the complete severance of distant subspace transport cargo ships, the demand for the production of the agricultural world in the panic of the dark side will only increase, so Anglon's proposal is that before the Governor's Mansion of Kalisis can figure out what happened, send troops to control the agricultural world on the route from Bela Karn to the port of settlement, as long as one or two vital agricultural planets in this star region are controlled, then the right to speak and the initiative will undoubtedly be immediately in the hands of the Iron Blood.

Moreover, Angelon has been very considerate about the planet they need to capture in advance, and Lady Lothara said that as an Imperial ship, the database of the Desert Ark can also provide some valuable information for their rapid strike operations.

As for directly using the authority of His Majesty the Emperor and the Genogen to declare ownership of the agricultural world in this region?

All tacitly avoided the topic.

Lamizan nodded very understandingly, "The gun is still better and more efficient than the so-called royal authority." You see the inquisitors shouting what is going on, but in fact, which one is not fully armed and will shake people? After all, our side has loyalty this time...... With the original body of the empire, it shouldn't be like my previous governance concerns after it is defeated. ”
