Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 66, just cheated a little bit
Gu Hang lied to Martins.

Not much, just a little bit.

Painting cakes can't be regarded as a lie. If the space fighters are willing to help him, and the future of Fu Xiaoxing really develops as he planned, then he doesn't mind supporting a battle group.

He never thought of letting the phoenix serve him completely and thoroughly.

The difference is too big.

In the imperial system, the planetary governor and the Space Marine Chapter Commander are not a system at all, and there is no subordination at all; but in terms of status, the latter is much higher than the former.

If it was the Phoenix Chapter's heyday, then they would dominate their home planet, and the planet's governor is really a mortal steward, doing chores that space marines are too lazy to do; his influence will be in a sector It is extremely powerful within the scope of the entire star field. Every governor in the entire star field will respectfully welcome the arrival of the chapter leader, and pray that when his world is threatened, he can get the help of the nearest neighbor; With the distance of countless light years, the reputation of the phoenix will spread widely.

Once a large-scale war starts and only one chapter participates in the battle, the chapter leader will become the highest military commander in most cases.Although the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Astral Army do not belong to the chapter in name, they will fully respect the opinion of the chapter leader, and even obey the command of the chapter leader-of course, if there is a famous general with a grand reputation, That might be different too.

Although the phoenix is ​​not the phoenix it was 100 years ago, the organization of the war group is still there, and the identity of the group leader is still there. It is impossible for Gu Hang to make a war group completely obey him.

Don't talk about him, even the head of the star area can't do it.

But forming an ally and mutual benefit, that's enough.

You live in my house, drive my car, eat the meals I provide, use the supplies I brought you, and I promise to rebuild the battle group for you in the future... In this case, I have difficulties, You have nothing to do to help me shoot twice, isn't it too much?

As long as this covenant is maintained, Gu Hang doesn't mind fulfilling his promise and rebuilding the battle group for them after a long time.Whether it is the supply of manpower and material resources, or finding ways to build or buy starships for them.

As for where Gu Hang lied to them...

That's the third point he said before, 'replenish enough space fighters'.

Gu Hang actually has a solution.

How to become a space warrior?This is a very difficult thing.

Requires 'Gene Seed'.

After being implanted with gene seeds, the chosen ones will undergo drastic body modification.After a year or two, let the gene seeds completely and meticulously change the entire body.In this way, he became a recruit.

Then, after a lengthy training period, the Chapter deems the recruit to be qualified enough to be given the Power Armor to truly become a Space Marine.

It is easy to say, but in fact this process is extremely difficult.

After the gene seeds are implanted in the body, the drastic transformation is extremely difficult to survive.

The candidates who want to become space warriors are all physically fit and determined people selected from hundreds of millions of people, but even so, most of them cannot resist.Or the collapse of the body, or the collapse of the will, as long as one of them is not supported, it will cause the gene to collapse and die.

After carrying it through, there is still the recruit training stage.Fortunately, this part is only strict, and generally does not have too high a death rate.

During this whole process, the most important things are two things: high-quality soldiers and gene seeds.

The source of soldiers is relatively easy to say. Generally, a battle group has an entire planet as a recruiting world, which is the so-called home planet.People from one planet can be used to select soldiers, choose the best among the best, and generally there is no need to worry; even if it is a ship-based battle group, you can go to certain planets to try to recruit soldiers.It is not realistic to carry out large-scale selection on a global scale, but it seems that hundreds of people want to be taken away for training, is there any governor who will object?
Even if the phoenix is ​​like a bear now, just go to any world and take a few good seedlings away, ordinary planets don't have the heart to hunt down a group of interstellar warriors for a few people.

But even if the problem of the source of soldiers is solved, the phoenix cannot solve the latter, which is the problem of gene seeds.

How the Emperor once created the gene-seed of the space warriors is no longer testable, and there is no technology left over from tens of thousands of years ago.In the current era, Space Marines are 'born' mainly by the Space Marines themselves.

Every space soldier can give birth to two gene seeds in a lifetime.The first, five years after they become a Space Marine, matures in their bodies and can be harvested to develop new recruits; the second, matures after ten years, but cannot be harvested, only after death can be extracted.

Theoretically, one space warrior can change into two, two into four, four into eight...exponential growth.But in fact, impossible.

Space warriors are always fighting in the most dangerous battles. It is very common that the corpses are broken and cannot be retrieved, and there is no time to collect the corpses. The second seed may not be recovered, only the first seed, the source is relative Stablize.

Then, each warband has to hand over 10% of the gene seeds to the empire within a certain number of years as a gene tax, which is used to test whether the warband’s gene seeds are pure, polluted, and mutated. , will also serve as a seed bank for the creation of new Chapters of the Empire.

In addition, the implantation of gene seeds has a high failure rate.Once it fails, people will die.

Under the superposition of multiple factors, it is almost impossible for Phoenix to change from 7 to 14 or 28.

To make matters worse, the seven surviving phoenixes are all veterans of more than a hundred years, and the five-year-old seeds have been picked long ago.If you want to pick them again, you have to wait for them to die.

In addition, it seems that there is no pharmacist in charge of gene seed implantation among them, so they can only let Rizzo do the job.He would, but certainly not as reliably as a professional warband apothecary.If the craftsmanship is not good enough, it may mean that the probability of the subject's successful awakening will be further reduced.

When Gu Hang said that there was no way to help Phoenix in this regard, Martins would not doubt it at all, it was just a topic that was skipped.

No space warrior would expect a mortal to provide Phoenix with any help in this regard.

But the reality is that Gu Hang has this ability.

In the [Event] panel, the event line of [Phoenix will die] has undergone new changes.

[Phoenix will die: gene seed (repeated event, can be continuously selected)]

[Phoenix Squad came to Fury Owl Star and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with you.A Governor who is seeking to control and develop the world, and a warband that is dying but determined to revive are a good match. 】

[The most important thing for the revival of the battle group, the gene seed, is nowhere to be found.If you had this ability, how would you choose? 】

[Pay 100 gift points and get a gene seed (phoenix battle group). 】

Looking at the function of this system, the joy was second to none, and Gu Hang felt more like a cold sweat on his back.
