[Reincarnator brings back 2K World strategic materials (timber × 10,000 tons, synthetic boards × 5,000 tons), Hive City fills the gap in infrastructure materials by 30%, and the colonial infrastructure progress +12%]

Fu Haoran had just shuttled back to Warhammer Hive City Lower Hive, Wade ran over sweating profusely, holding a surveillance video in his hand.

"Sir, Ronan is completely out of control over there!"

Fu Haoran played the video in Data Pad. In the picture, Ronan was fixed on the bed with alloy straps. His muscles bulged, his nails became sharp, his pupils shrank into a vertical line, and he kept letting out deep roars from his mouth.

It's lycanthropy.

Tech-Priest Kallen said, "Sir, the alienation of Ronan is irreversible. The corruption value of Chaos in the body has exceeded the threshold. It is recommended to implement the purification procedure immediately to avoid the spread of contamination."

"No." Fu Haoran refused without hesitation, "Ronan is a veteran who has climbed up all the way. He is just alienated and did not vote for Chaos. He has not lost his mind. As long as there is hope, he cannot give up."

Kallen's mechanical prosthetic eye flashed a few times. "Sir, I can't find any solution. Under the current technical conditions, mutation is irreversible."

"Just because you can't find it, doesn't mean it's not there. We have to try."

Fu Haoran raised his hand and clicked on the system mall, and the Gene-seed redemption list popped up instantly.

[Astartes Gene-seed, the price of a single copy is 10000 Universal Points. If the fitness is lower than 30%, it will cause irreversible gene collapse. Please choose the host carefully]

[Exchange amount × 5]

There are not many options in the list, and each item has its core bonuses and side effects clearly marked:

[Imperial Fists: Defense +50%, fortification construction efficiency +80%, adaptability 72%]

[Iron Warriors: Siege ability +60%, mechanical adaptability +70%, adaptability 68%]

[Ultramarines: Overall operation +70%, command of all arms +50%, adaptability 78%]

[Space Wolves: Melee resistance +60%, wild burst +100%, fitness 65%, side effects: risk of mutation]

[White Scars: Agility +60%, vehicle control +80%, adaptability 70%]

[Blood Angels: Appearance is permanently optimized, self-healing ability +120%, melee burst +80%, side effects: Black Rage (Enter mad state during battle, attack speed and movement speed are greatly increased, pain perception is greatly reduced, and you will fall into weakness after the battle)]

[Salamanders: Flame resistance +100%, forging ability +90%, adaptability 63%]

[Thousand Sons: Psychic affinity +150%, knowledge mastery speed +100%, non-Psyker adaptability 31%]

[Sons of Horus: Strength +70%, Tactical Planning +60%, Adaptability 61%]

Fu Haoran glanced at it and passed most of it decisively.

Coordinator of Ultramarines?

The presence of JARVIS is purely redundant.

He doesn't like the fortification bonuses of Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists very much.

Salamanders is crossed out directly, Fu Haoran does not want to become a black worm.

Sons of Horus's side effect (bald head) is too conspicuous.

Finally, my eyes fell on the two seeds.

"Replace Ronan with Space Wolves and Gene-seed."

"Space Wolves's wolf gene is homologous to his alienation. Fighting fire with fire might work."

After making the decision, Fu Haoran turned to the page Blood Angels.

"The appearance is optimized, and the melee burst is strong, which is good."

As for Black Rage, he went berserk during the battle, his attack speed and movement speed were greatly increased, his pain perception was reduced, and he was weak after the battle.

Fu Haoran didn't take it too seriously.

"As long as you don't take the lead and rush forward, but sit back and act as the governor, there will be no chance of these side effects happening."

"Besides, when I really need to fight in close combat, going berserk is my trump card."

So, Fu Haoran spent another ten thousand Universal Points.

At this moment, the door of the medical room was pushed open, and Tychus walked in with Cigar in his mouth. He glanced at Ronan on the screen and sneered, "Governor, this thing is hopeless. It's better to burn it directly. By the way, let me tell you something, I have to leave."

Fu Haoran raised his eyes and glanced at him.

A Ogryn, who is born with psychic resistance, is hard to find even with a lantern. He is fed delicious food and drinks, but he still wants to run away?

He opened the system mall with a backhand, spent another 10000 Universal Points, and exchanged it for a Thousand Sons Gene-seed.

Tychus was still spitting "freedom is the most precious", but he didn't notice that Fu Haoran winked at Kallen.

Kallen understood, and two Servitor held anesthesia guns and touched behind Tychus.

"It's better for me to go back and open a car repair shop than to be a cow and a horse here - Huh? What hit me?"

He touched the tranquilizer dart around his neck, took it off and took a look, his face full of confusion.

"Pfft!" Another dart hit her butt.

Tychus shook his head but didn't fall down.

Kallen was anxious, feeling that Mechanicus Cult had been humiliated, and ordered sternly, "Maximum power! Inject all the anesthetics in reserve!"

More than a dozen anesthesia needles were shot out at the same time. Tychus finally couldn't hold on anymore. His eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground like a hill. Cigar was still holding it firmly in his mouth.

Fu Haoran squatted down, patted the dazed Tychus, and said with a sneer, "Want to leave? It's too late. Once you get on my pirate ship, don't even think about running away. Freedom is not suitable for you."

"Come here, put Tychus and Ronan into Stasis Field."

Fu Haoran decided to find a suitable opportunity for Dantioch and Kallen to join forces to perform genetic modification surgery. But before that, he had to deal with some things.

In the open space of Lower Hive, the wood and synthetic boards brought by 2K World were piled up into a mountain.

The shanty house construction project has started.

Female bishop Moria and her followers are building simple shanties.

The speed is not very fast, but for believers, this is hundreds of times better than living in tunnels before.

The speed is not very fast, but for believers, this is hundreds of times better than living in tunnels before.

But just half a day after work started, trouble came to the door.

Yuri was the first to slap the table. "Sir, you want to expand Lower Hive ten times? That is for heretics!"

Ling Shuang said coldly, "If we don't expand, they will have no place to live, so they will crowd into Mid-Hive. When the public security breaks down, will you be responsible?"

Wade interjected. "I don't care where I live, but the weapons production line cannot be stopped. If they dare to cause trouble, I will be the first to lead people in."

Not long after, guild representatives, human worker leaders, business representatives, and the surrendered leader Moria broke into the temporary command tent noisily.

"Sir, we can't let these heretics steal our jobs!" The human worker leader blushed with anger, "They don't want wages and don't care about work injuries. How can we compete with them for jobs?"

Moria said cautiously, "Intercessor, we just want to have food to eat and a place to live. We are willing to do the most tiring work without getting paid. We just want not to be purified."

The company representative covered his nose with a look of disgust on his face. "Sir, these weirdos..."

He thought for a moment and couldn't call heretics in front of others, so he changed his mind, "These Underhive civilians are taking our jobs, we must drive them away!"

There was a commotion in the tent.

Fu Haoran knocked on the table and became quiet instantly.

Fu Haoran had no choice but to realize that killing Genestealers believers was a waste of labor and would cost money to clear out the remnants.

Drive away Genestealers?

The price-performance ratio for ordinary humans is really not comparable to that of Genestealers, and the progress of infrastructure construction will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Ministry of Internal Affairs's Tithe ship is already on the way. At present, the finances are empty and Tithe cannot get it together. He, the governor, must bear the responsibility.

On the other hand, the production efficiency of these Genestealers is three times that of human beings. The quality is not bad, but the cost is shockingly low. As long as they have enough energy bars and water, they can even rest half as much as ordinary people.

On the one hand, there is the immediate Tithe and civil war crisis, and on the other hand, there is the potential risk of infection more than ten years later. All fools know how to choose.

"Stop arguing and listen to me first." Fu Haoran interrupted the quarrel and glanced at everyone, "The Emperor doesn't want to see his people fighting among themselves. Human beings should learn to be tolerant."

"The nobles tolerate the workers, and the workers tolerate these surrendered believers, so that the situation can be stabilized in a crisis."

He looked at the nobles and business representatives, pulled out his hair and said, "You are worried about damage to your interests. I can guarantee that Genestealers only does infrastructure and rough machining work. The core technical and management positions are all left to humans. You will make a lot of profits."

Fu Haoran looked at the financial officer again and sighed, "The finance department has no money to pay wages. These free labor can help us save Tithe's material gap. You no longer have to worry about not being able to make up the quota."

Finally, he looked at Wade and Yuri: "The army is responsible for supervision. Genestealers has formed a militia committee, which is at your disposal to wipe out the remnants of the old aristocracy of Lower Hive. This not only solves the security problem, but also does not require additional military expenditures."

Everyone looked at each other with shame evident in their expressions.

They only think about their own interests, but fail to see the overall considerations behind it.

At this meeting, only one resolution was passed unanimously, which was to thoroughly cleanse Genestealers of purebreds at the suggestion of Adeptus Arbites, and at the same time increase the scrutiny of various industries to prevent the infiltration of unconquered Genestealers.

Fu Haoran knows in his heart that being Planetary Governor is never as simple as being a saint.

It is necessary to feed the common people to prevent them from rebelling, and to feed the nobles to prevent them from revolting. It is also necessary to protect the interests of the family, and it is also necessary to deal with the layers of pressure from Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At present, it is the optimal solution to rely on Genestealers to revitalize Lower Hive.

Closer to home, Fu Haoran's plan was quickly implemented.

His first order was to seal off the southern area of Lower Hive and classify it as an exclusive residential area and industrial area for Genestealers, so that it would be physically isolated from human settlements and not interfere with each other.

The second order provides Genestealers with sufficient energy bars and water sources, announces a ten-year tax exemption policy, encourages them to produce at full capacity, and clearly stipulates that Genestealers is not allowed to enter the core area of Mid-Hive and is not allowed to have access to core technology.

The third order is to let Moria serve as the chief executive of the Militia Committee and lead Genestealers to eliminate Chaos Cultist of Lower Hive.

The officers of the militia committee are all human officers, who firmly control the command.

At the same time, Fu Haoran had someone write a "Hive City Solidarity Directory" and distribute it to all residents.

The catalog clearly stated that "Genestealers and humans are all believers of the Emperor and should live in harmony." However, it secretly attached a Genestealers identification map and an emergency suppression plan to humans, and also asked workers and gangsters in the industrial area to voluntarily form patrol teams to keep an eye on Genestealers's movements.

For those Genestealers who do not want to go to the south and want to stay in human settlements, Fu Haoran will be directly labeled as unwilling to sacrifice and sent to abandoned factories in the wilderness to do the most dangerous ore mining work.

What's even more shocking is that the illegal Psyker raised by Fu Haoran disguised himself as a remnant of the old aristocracy, quietly killed the purebloods hidden in Genestealers, and deliberately left traces of the rebels.

Genestealers thought it was the revenge of the old nobles, and their gratitude to Fu Haoran deepened, and they worked harder.

In just the past month, Lower Hive has taken on a completely new look.

Rows of shantytowns rose from the ground, and steel plants and machinery factories started construction one after another. The industrial products produced by Genestealers were extremely low-cost and quickly opened up sales. Lower Hive's finances turned losses into profits, and Tithe's material gap was completely filled.

Moria led the Genestealers militia to wipe out the remnants of the old aristocracy of Lower Hive, and even volunteered to be incorporated into the defense team, always ready to fight on the front line.

Fu Haoran followed suit and organized the Genestealers militiamen into a death squad, and sold them to Mechanicus Cult as experimental products, in exchange for a large amount of industrial equipment and rare materials.

Everything seemed to be back on track, but a new fiscal deficit appeared, but this time it came from 2K World.

Shipbuilding, recruiting people, research and development, all free of charge.
