Taking Stock of Gains and Development
"I will depart for Terra at a later date."
After Qin Yun replied to Guilliman's message at the control panel,
He then began to ponder what he still hadn't done in Baal.
The first mission: to rebuild Baal and strive to transform the barbaric state of Baal Prime and its two moons into a paradise world, is in progress.
The second task: to promote the Primaris of the Blood Angels Chapter and its numerous sub-chambers, rebuild the various Chapter, and enable them to continue fighting for the Imperium, is currently underway.
The third task: to collect soul fragments, seek the help of the Aeldari, and resurrect Sanguinius is underway.
"At present, we have done everything that needs to be done. We can only move on to the next stage after these things have made progress."
After confirming that he had completed all his tasks, Qin Yun summoned Xi Ling.
"Give me an update on the Calixis Sector and the current situation of the players."
"Yes, Master."
Xi Ling nodded, and she summoned several projections, which displayed various information in detail.
Qin Yun reached out and swiped the projection to take a look.
The Calixis Sector is currently developing well.
In the military field,
The Departmento Munitorum established a defensive line at the Footfall to prevent the Xenos races and Chaos forces of the Koronus Expanse from invading the Calixis Sector.
At the same time, they began stockpiling supplies in the Wandering Port, using current technology to solidify the Maw, and preparing for the complete conquest of the Koronus Expanse.
Centuries have passed since the discovery of the Maw, marking the first time the Imperium's influence Koronus Expanse.
Over the centuries, Rogue Trader, adventurers, and ambitious individuals have continuously poured in, occupying many planets in the desolate Koronus Expanse and building human colonies.
The Imperium's conquest of the Milky Way has never ceased, only not as intensely as before.
Whenever a new area is discovered, groups of Rogue Trader, wandering adventurers, and other skilled travelers are sent to scout it out first.
Because of the Frontier Edict, many people flock to new areas as soon as they discover them.
The Frontier Edict stipulates that adventure teams or Rogue Trader who develop planets that did not belong to the Imperium are permitted to do so.
They will gain legitimate rule, a power that can be inherited, allowing their descendants to win without lifting a finger.
Even Qin Yun's reforms didn't target the descendants of these pioneers too much.
The only requirement was that their families must send someone to join the army to earn merit and maintain their family's status.
If one dies in battle, their merits will automatically transfer to the next generation.
Simply put, as long as they don't do anything reckless and honestly govern the planet according to the Imperium laws, their families can basically hold onto their governorships.
If this leads to public outrage and widespread suffering, then it can only be said that "the Mandate of Heaven has been lost," and it is time for someone else to take over.
The Koronus Expanse first came into public view in 101 M38.
As the Imperium of Man prepared to bring Calixis under its rule, intelligence provided by some Rogue Trader and Adeptus Mechanicus' exploration fleets mentioned the existence of Koronus.
They claim to have discovered a stable route at the edge of the Calixis Sector that leads through vast Warp Storm to a completely new star system.
The data also marks dozens of mineral-rich worlds, biospheres that support life, and many areas yet to be explored.
However, there is no definitive record of this stable Warp passage, so at the time, Koronus was only regarded as a footnote to the expedition.
Following the Anjou Crusade, the Calixis Sector came under the rule of the Imperium.
878·M39, Abenicus, a mad navigator from the Benetek family, through studying ancient documents and his own talent of seeing fragments of the future, speculated that there was a tunnel that could safely pass through the Drusus Marches.
Many Rogue Trader and adventurers believed in him and embarked on the path to acquiring endless wealth and great power.
In 997·M40, after dozens of traveling Rogue Trader failed and died, the Rogue Trader Priti Latimen succeeded, discovering and drawing the 'Great Mouth', finding a safe passage to the Koronus Expanse, and thus becoming a legend.
After the discovery of the Maw, humanity officially began its exploration of the Koronus Expanse.
According to intelligence provided by the Inquisition, numerous Xenos Imperium and human colonies that worship Dark Gods exist within the Koronus Expanse.
Those who enter this sector include not only the Emperor's servants, but also scoundrels and scum, who will not obediently follow the Imperium's orders.
To bring the Koronus Expanse under the Imperium's control, a large-scale expedition is essential.
In addition to preparing for the conquest of the Koro expansion sector, the Calixis Sector is also planning to provide support to other sectors.
Of course, the army will not actually be mobilized until Qin Yun gains Guilliman's support and establishes reform as a basic national policy.
Although such a practice is cruel, watching so many innocent people die is unacceptable.
But Qin Yun remained unmoved. In his view, there was no need to waste soldiers' blood in a latrine.
Without his personal command, the Calixis army sent out to provide support would only be tools of the local rulers, unable to truly save the local people.
Loyal blood is spilled on the battlefield, but the ultimate fruits of victory are taken by the nobles who leech off the Imperium.
They made a mess of things and then ran away.
The Loyalist fought to the death to reclaim the planet, and then shamelessly returned to rule, continuing to impose heavy taxes on the lower classes to demonstrate their loyalty.
Once I travel to Terra, gain Guilliman's support, and fully implement the reforms,
The dispatched troops can provide support while simultaneously reforming and rebuilding the local area, transforming it and helping it escape its dreary state.
After learning about the military field, Qin Yun began to examine the economic field.
Thanks to the development of the Imperial Bank and Instant Communication Network,
The economy of the Calixis Sector can be described as soaring, with a surge in interstellar trade and an exponential increase in transportation efficiency, finally achieving the scale that an interstellar civilization should have.
As for the cultural aspects, the new education system, which incorporates the Ecclesiarchy religion, has been fully implemented.
While strengthening the people's loyalty to the Imperium and the Emperor, they were also encouraged to learn various kinds of knowledge, including even some harmless knowledge about the Warp.
Religious studies were listed as the most important subject.
With the Great Rift unfolding, it has become impossible to conceal the existence of the Warp from the public.
Humanity must learn to coexist with the Warp, understand Warp dangers, and learn to fight against evil with faith.
In the field of scientific research, the Adeptus Mechanicus has also begun to show new vitality.
While ensuring safety, we will begin to attempt to supplement the foundations of human science.
If other races have successfully used the technology, humanity should follow suit and establish corresponding disciplines.
Most technologies, as long as they do not involve the Warp, have an extremely low probability of being corrupted.
Only those domains that utilize or even actively engage with the Warp susceptible to corruption.
To address this problem, the Adeptus Mechanicus proposed a solution.
All technologies related to the Warp realm were separated and a new subject was established: Occultism.
The study of Occultism could only be conducted by Magos loyal to the Emperor, and under the supervision of various departments such as the Inquisition.
"Very nice."
Qin Yun praised him.
The current development of the Calixis Sector can be considered a significant step forward, proving that humanity still has the ability to reach the pinnacle.
As long as we develop steadily in the years to come, that will suffice.
Qin Yun checked the players' conditions.
Since the game's launch, a total of eleven batches of players have joined.
15, 30, 80, 200, 600, 1500, 3500, 8888, 18000, 50000, 100000.
Roughly estimated, there are about 200,000 players.
The number of people was not large, not even a fraction of the number of casualties in a single battle.
But players aren't meant to be cannon fodder; they're meant to be disruptors.
Clearly, they did a good job.
They are active in fields such as technology, culture, military, and even food.
It has breathed new life into human civilization, which had been stagnant.
In terms of player levels, the highest levels currently held by Warmaster and Ten-Timer are both level 17.
It needs to be upgraded to the next level before it can Primaris.
In terms of promoting technological development,
Dora Workshop is conducting research using the remains of Necrons.
With the powerful computing capabilities of Xi Ling and the assistance of numerous Magos, they were able to reverse engineer Dimensional Space, teleportation, and fundamental materials science, among other technologies.
Once a breakthrough is achieved, it can further advance the development of human technology.
Qin Yun was quite optimistic about this and even secretly communicated with Xi Ling, urging her to pay more attention to Dimensional Space.
How could his little players not have Personal Inventory?
That's a must-have for every game.
Without Personal Inventory, you can't carry pets, mounts, equipment, or health and mana potions.
Qin Yun was thinking of using Dimensional Space technology to create small spaces that could serve as Personal Inventory for players.
Seeing that they couldn't compete with Dora Workshop in the field of physical technology, the MC Dynasty took a different approach and prepared to pursue the biotechnology route.
With the help of numerous Biologis Magos and the Xi Ling, they have initially gained control of the Norn Queen and stolen the Tyranids gene pool.
The Great Devourer reacted strongly to this, attempting to connect to the Norn Queen an effort to delete the database.
Unfortunately, the MC Dynasty was very good at preventing this, and the Great Devourer failed in its attempts many times, and could only watch helplessly as humans stole the fruits of their labor.
The Great Devourer: "So, all my hard work collecting these things just went to you bunch of bastards, huh?"
In addition to stealing the gene pool of the Great Devourer
The MC Dynasty also conducted research on Brain Bug, aiming to advance human evolution.
They plan to use genetic and other methods to give the human brain capabilities comparable to, or even surpassing, those of silicon-based computers.
Qin Yun had seen their plan and could only say it was insane.
Of course, there is a certain possibility.
Currently, there are brain evolution projects underway.
The MC Dynasty project aims to create a human brain computer comparable to a mountain.
Besides brain-computer interfaces, MC Dynasty also has many other projects related to biological evolution.
These projects all revolve around one theme: how to ensure the purity of human genes while giving humans greater intelligence and strength.
Besides MC Dynasty and Dora Workshop, another major player organization researching technology is the Eastern University Research Institute.
This organization was founded by Old Bird and Reckless General, and those gathered around them are elite talents such as PhDs in reality.
They are not focused on physical or biological technologies, but rather on fundamental theories, aiming to complete the foundation of human science.
This matter is of great significance.
Because basic science is the foundation of all technology.
Qin Yun also provided them with a lot of resources and computing power to support their continued research.
Regardless of their motives, improving basic science will benefit humanity, and Qin Yun must support them.
The remaining Chapter were also being researched, but their scale was far smaller than that of the three major organizations.
For example, the Agricultural Academy's research on Ork, the Witcher' research on Word of Darkness, and Hogwarts' research on psionic magic.
Qin Yun didn't pay much attention to them.
Besides conducting scientific research, players also adventure and complete quests.
However, at present, the scope is limited to the Calixis Sector, Ultramar, the Baal System, and the most important heart region of the Imperium of Man — the Sol System.
Qin Yun inquired in detail about the players' recent activities.
Having confirmed that they were still diligently working towards their goals, like oxen and horses, to change the status quo of the Imperium, he turned to ask Xi Ling about another matter.
"How's the reverse engineering of the energy-to-matter technology progressing?"
PS: There will be another update tonight, with a minimum of 6,000 words, and I'll try to reach 10,000 words.
