"Dear Lord Adeptus Astartes, what can I do for you?"

Fu Haoran was the first to speak, and his attitude was unprecedentedly sincere, much like the sinister boss who had tricked him into stationing at Eagle Nation's house.

However, Dantioch, who inherited the bad temper of his father Primarch, obviously does not have a good temper either.

Dantioch opened his mouth with a standard bad temper. "My battleship needs repairs, I want to choose a place to build a fortress monastery, and finally, don't bother me no matter what happens!"

He kept silent as soon as he finished speaking, the air pressure around his body was so low that it could freeze someone to death, and he looked like he would immediately take action if he said another word.

Who would have thought that in the past, IV Legion was the core of Trident, and Warsmith was one person outnumbered by ten thousand people in the army. Now the only requirement is to find a place to quietly do civil engineering work.

Facing the bad-tempered Dantioch, Fu Haoran was not impatient at all. "Okay, if you need manpower or machines, please give us your orders at any time, Hive City will allocate all resources to you first."

Now it was Dantioch's turn, a little uncomfortable. "Why don't you ask me what I want to fix?"

"No, it's my honor to serve the angels of the Emperor." Fu Haoran answered without missing a beat, adding silently in his heart, "Anyway, I make the profit in the end."

Dantioch's eyepiece flashed red, obviously he didn't expect this mortal to be so smart.

He nodded slightly, turned around and strode away with the two veterans without saying another word.

[Dantioch favorability +1, current favorability 17]

Fu Haoran lowered his head and smiled.

Expressions can be deceiving, but the system's favorability prompts cannot.

Lucifiel joked, "I didn't expect you to be so humble. In your human terms, you are a----shaking M?"

Fu Haoran looked at Lucifiel with black lines on his head and warned solemnly, "Where did you see these messy works? If you continue like this, I don't know if you will become a believer of Tzeentch, but Slaanesh will definitely welcome you."

"Oh? I saw it from your laptop----"

"Ahem!" Fu Haoran interrupted forcibly, making sure that no one was looking nearby, and explained, "Those are study materials, used to deal with----Drukhari."

Fu Haoran is talking nonsense seriously.

Lucifiel did not hesitate and returned to the topic. "Tell me about your plan. From what I know about you, you will not be attentive for no reason. At least so far, you have not shown the attentive attitude that a male creature should have when courting a mate."

Fu Haoran always feels that this chat seems to have reached a dead end, always going back to men's hobbies.

"Ahem, please don't be so superficial. I just appreciate his talent and want to learn more skills from him and let him contribute to the development of Hive City."

"Are you trying to squeeze the other party's labor and knowledge?" Lucifiel thought for a moment and agreed, "It's a good strategy, but the premise is that your production capacity and efficiency can keep up with the other party."

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Lucifiel's straightforward interpretation, Fu Haoran still smiled proudly, "I'm not talented. I graduated with a major in civil engineering and was born with the holy body of civil engineering."

"Believe me, no one knows more about engineering than me."

After all, when it comes to project planning, cost control, and construction schedule compression, he, a civil engineer like 2K Era, is proficient in deception and deception.

You can spend one penny as two cents, and you don't have to worry about the other person looking down on you.

Lucifiel tilted his head and asked, "Oh, is it the so-called talented person of your era? Or is it the top-notch person?"

Fu Haoran:----Can we still chat happily?!

However, one thing Fu Haoran and Lucifiel know very well is that with Dantioch's ability, it is impossible to be content with just making small fuss.

You say you are satisfied?

This fortification seems to be not as well repaired as Seventh Legion Imperial Fists?

You say they are garbage and don't know how to deal with dust?

Really? I'll ask someone from Imperial Fists to come over and take a look.

Well, to deal with the people of Iron Warriors, all you need to do is bring out your mortal enemy Imperial Fists, and you don't have to worry about them not being popular.

With the bad temper in Iron Warriors's genes, there is no way he can withstand this kind of stimulation.

--

As for whether your own production capacity can keep up?

It would be too small to underestimate the title of 2K Era infrastructure madman.

As soon as things here were over, Fu Haoran rushed to the training ground without stopping.

On the way, Fu Haoran couldn't help complaining. "I'm just a dignified Planetary Governor. I'm no different from 007. I can't even get half a day off."

He complains on his lips, but Fu Haoran's body is honest.

Even walking is fast walking.

When I think that one year later, the rebellious Iron Warriors will kill Lesser Damantyne, and then after a year of fighting, the opponent shamelessly throws out Titan, Fu Haoran, it feels big.

If you fight, just fight. If you can't win, just throw weapons like "mushroom bombs". Isn't that what you can't afford?

Unfortunately, I don't have a general cannon on hand that can blast through Titan Void Shield and armor in one hit.

As for the farther Horus Heresy and Fu Haoran, I don't even dare to think deeply about them.

Even Primarch died in this catastrophe. EMO's EMO, even if he was lucky enough to become Space Marine, he would be just an inconspicuous soldier thrown in and would not survive for three minutes.

In the corner of the training ground, two hundred sets of modified auxiliary exoskeletons and smart glasses were piled up into a hill.

These customized active exoskeletons from 2K World use Plastisteel. The lightweight frame wraps the forearm and upper arm, and there are high-power motors at the joints to assist in generating force. It was originally a rehabilitation equipment for the disabled elderly to restore their mobility, but now it has become a corrector.

The manufacturer pats its chest and assures Fu Haoran that even the strongest gorilla, as long as it wears this exoskeleton, it will never go west if you tell it to go east!

Of course, the manufacturer has repeatedly emphasized three times that this device must not be used by humans, and has signed a disclaimer stating that once it is used by humans, the company will not be responsible for any fractures, amputation, or disability caused by it.

With the manufacturer's repeated guarantees, Fu Haoran is also looking forward to the results.

Fu Haoran waved his hand to distribute, while Ling Shuang looked doubtful.

--

"Will this gadget work?"

Ling Shuang knows very well that in the past half month or so, she has been completely tortured by this group of Ogryn. She really does not believe that any equipment can train these stupid people.

"You'll know after you try it." Fu Haoran said firmly.

Ling Shuang didn't ask any more questions and turned around to direct Servo-Skull to assist in the distribution.

Servo-Skull buzzed between Ogryn. The metal arm put the auxiliary exoskeleton on their thick arms and legs, and put on them the smart helmet made by Priest Kallen.

"If you feel someone pulling you, don't be confused. It's reminding you what to do. Just follow it."

"Inside the helmet, there will be a red mark on the enemy, just shoot at them."

Fu Haoran shouted loudly to the Ogryns, explaining in words they could understand as much as possible.

"Follow the instructions in front of you. If you do the right thing, you will have a happy fat house with enough water at night!"

Ogryn's eyes widened instantly, and they roared excitedly.

Ogryn people said they like sweet water with bubbles the most.

Ling Shuang looked at the group of people staring blankly at the lenses of their glasses, some reaching out to pick out the red dots in the lenses, and some Ogryn was so frightened by the vibration of the exoskeleton that he jumped three feet high, and his heart instantly went cold.

Sure enough, he is still a fool.

But once training starts, the changes are visible to the naked eye.

Ling Shuang shouted "Raise the gun". Although Ogryn's movements were at different speeds and their postures were crooked, no one grabbed the gun and waved it around.

The exoskeleton sent a "vibration" prompt of pulling, and they awkwardly adjusted the angle of their arms.

It seems to work quite well.

But the next second, a burst of black smoke suddenly emitted from the exoskeleton on Tychus's arm, and the sound of electric current rang out.

Tychus shook his arm blankly, brought the exoskeleton to his eyes and looked at it, then looked up at Fu Haoran who was walking over, and murmured two words in a loud voice, "It's broken."

Fu Haoran squatted down and took apart the control module of the exoskeleton. He saw that the gear inside was broken, the drive motor was burnt to black, and even the wiring was fused together.

He looked up at the two-and-a-half-meter-tall Tychus, then looked at the scrapped exoskeleton in his hand, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

When the power of this device is fully turned on, it can force the limbs of adults to complete movements. In the eyes of normal people, it is a completely anti-human design.

As a result, when they arrived at Ogryn, the machine was almost dry and smoking, and they just felt like a child was pulling their arm.

Fu Haoran What can I do? I can only comfort it like a child and get a new one.

The only sad thing about Fu Haoran is that I wonder if the manufacturer would shut down the factory overnight and run away if they knew this equipment was being used like this by Ogryn.

For Ogryn, this exoskeleton is like someone gently pulling on him and reminding him what to do.

Whether they do it or not depends entirely on their mood.

Fortunately, there are fat house happy water hanging around, and they are very willing to cooperate.

If you do something wrong, you will not be punished; if you do something right, you will be given happy water.

Among them, Tychus has made the fastest progress. It can always receive instructions accurately and can steadily win two buckets of happy water every day.

Fu Haoran looked at him twice.

"This big guy seems to be a little smarter than the other Ogryn."

In the next few days, when he switched to the fourth set of exoskeleton, Fu Haoran was too lazy to feel distressed.

Fortunately, we finally have soldiers on the training field.

Ling Shuang took a deep breath, raised the signal flag high, and shouted sternly, "Raise the gun! Aim! Fire!"

Fifty black shadows simultaneously raised Autogun and pulled the trigger.

The gunshots rang out loudly, no longer a sparse and chaotic sound, but actually revealed a somewhat neat rhythm.

As long as you don't care about the appalling hit rate, everything is fine - out of fifty rounds of Autogun bullets, thirty of them landed firmly within the target area.

Although only five shots hit the bullseye, for Ogryn, who couldn't even hold the gun firmly half a month ago, it has already been an earth-shaking change.

[Ding! Achievement achieved: Commander Ogryn]

[Reward: Universal Points+666, free attribute point +1]

[Unlock tactical command: primary salvo formation]

[Description: Troops holding long-range weapons can be ordered to perform a round of synchronized shooting to cover the designated area.]

Ling Shuang stood there, looking at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable relief, just like an old mother who saw her child take the first grade in the exam.

"Sir, this plan will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

Priest Kallen also stood at the side of the training field at some point and said in a solemn tone.

"Once the equipment is damaged, these Ogryn will still return to their original form."

"When they encounter flexible and fast opponents, they don't even have time to react."

"I know, this is a temporary measure. We don't have any more time at the moment. We must deal with the present first, and we must be able to survive this period to deal with subsequent matters."

Priest Kallen frowned even more and asked in a low voice, "Sir, is the situation really that bad?"

Fu Haoran said nothing, but looked in the direction of Underhive, his eyes darkening.

According to the Auspex scanning results, the Xenomorph signals of Underhive are so dense that they cannot be counted.

"I really don't know what kind of trash the previous governor is. He raised so many Genestealerss and didn't even notice them!"

"You deserve to be kicked out!"

In the shadows outside the training ground, Dantioch stood with two veterans for a long time, nodding almost imperceptibly in the direction of the training ground, and watched the entire training.

He has served for hundreds of years, fought countless battles, and seen countless demihuman auxiliary armies. No one has ever been able to train a demihuman with a straight-thinking mind like Ogryn to this extent.

No complicated tactical explanations, no harsh military punishments, just a set of simple mechanical aids allowed these stupid guys to develop basic combat effectiveness.

[Dantioch favorability +1, current favorability 18 (neutral approval)]

Fu Haoran was just about to finalize the follow-up training plan with Ling Shuang when an accident happened first.

Wade slammed open the door of the training ground, his face was livid, his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't even speak coherently, "Sir! Something big happened! The third armory----the third armory was----ransacked! All the weapons inside are gone!"
