Lay a Solid Foundation First
In an instant, a list with a complex yet crystal-clear structure unfolded in his mind.
He scanned the pages quickly, his gaze sharp as lightning.
"First, the ' Vitruum Body Repair Pod ' can be redeemed in quantities of one thousand units."
[confirm.
The Vitruum Body Repair Pod originates from the pinnacle of medical technology of the Vitruum civilization.
By utilizing directional energy fields and bio-information reshaping technology, most physical traumas, genetic damage, and moderate energy erosion can be effectively repaired.
Unit price: 50 Governance Points.
Quantity: 1000.
Total cost: 50,000 Governance Points.
Confirm?
"Confirm."
Guilliman did not hesitate.
With these 1,000 repair pods, they were distributed to various main warships and important fortresses around the world.
His descendants will be able to recover most quickly and completely after the fierce battle, and non-combat casualties will be greatly reduced.
This is a crucial investment to maintain the legion's sustained combat effectiveness.
[Redeem Completed]
The item has been stored in the system's secondary space.
"Next, exchange for ' The Foundational Principles and Blueprint of the FTL Engine '."
[confirm.
This blueprint includes a theoretical framework, core formulas, key materials science and engineering data, and its theoretical peak speed is approximately 10 billion times the speed of light.
Warning: Due to differences in the fundamental rules of the universe, direct copying of the application has a low success rate; localization and adaptation development are required.
Unit price: 5000 Governance Points.
Confirm?
"Confirmed." Guilliman's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He knew, of course, that simply copying it was impossible.
But buying the corresponding faster-than-light engine directly is too expensive, so let's leave these troublesome matters to our D.A. Sinclair.
The value of this blueprint lies in pointing the way and providing theoretical possibilities that transcend the Imperium's current Warp navigation and conventional propulsion technologies by countless levels.
He believed that entrusting this task to the Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, who was always capable of creating miracles, and supplementing it with the wisdom of the Adeptus Mechanicus research team, would be ideal.
Even if we can only develop a "low-spec" faster-than-light engine that increases speed by a hundred or a thousand times.
Control over the Imperium's territory, the allocation of resources, and the projection of military power will all be revolutionary.

The blueprint data stream is encrypted and can be transmitted to a designated memory node or data carrier.
"Then, biological resources: ' Megaphage Worm (domesticated and bred group)', five males and five females, totaling ten."
[confirm.
The Terra Megaphage Worm originates from the rainforest world of ' Seelos ' in the Invincible universe. This planet has an extremely harsh ecological environment, filled with biological toxins and radioactive minerals.
This worm is one of the planet's top decomposers and primary producers, with a wide diet (including poisonous plants, carrion, and various minerals), and grows rapidly, with adults averaging 1.2 kilometers in length.
Its meat is high in protein and rich in essential amino acids; it is extremely docile and easy to raise in captivity.
Unit price: 300 Governance Points /unit.
Quantity: 10.
Total cost: 3,000 Governance Points.
Confirm?
"Confirmed." Guilliman seemed to have already seen the future.
This giant creature, which can practically "eat soil and produce meat," is paired with highly adaptable Blue Corn.
This will completely solve the basic food supply problem in Ultramar and even in the future, in a much larger territory.
With ten individuals as breeding stock, their reproductive and production potential is enormous in a meticulously planned ecological farm.
However, given this species' voracious appetite and unique appearance, Guilliman thought it would likely attract the attention of the Chaos Gods Nurgle.
"We'll need to dedicate a few planets as breeding grounds and assign hundreds of offspring to guard them."
I don't want something I intended to use to improve people's well-being to become a deadly weapon in the hands of Chaos Gods."
Just imagine a group of bizarre creatures over 1000 meters long, exuding a foul stench and poison, covered in pustules from head to toe.
The thought of crawling on his own planet sent chills down Guilliman's spine.
All necessary protective measures must be taken.
[Exchange complete.]
[Living organisms have been incorporated into the system's stable ecological space]
"Next, redeem the ' Vitruum Repair Pod Blueprint '."
[confirm.
Unit price: 1000 Governance Points.
Confirm?
"Confirm."
Guilliman knew that true stability of rule lay not only in a strong army, but also in the health and support of the people.
He wouldn't be stingy with items left on the battlefield; he would directly exchange them for readily available items from the system.
Because every second on the battlefield can represent a huge change, and while Governance Points can be earned again, time on the battlefield cannot be extended.
However, in ordinary people's daily lives, this can be slowed down a bit.
The difference between repairing the body in 10 minutes and repairing it in 10 hours is at most the difference between missing out on lunch and dinner.
Therefore, Guilliman intended to give the blueprint for this body repair pod to our D.A. Sinclair so that he could develop a civilian version of the body repair pod.
If civilian repair technology can be widely adopted, it will greatly enhance the happiness, loyalty, and productivity of the Imperium's citizens.
[Redeem complete.]
Finally, Guilliman's attention fell on a seemingly insignificant project.
"' Symbiotic Exoskeletal Tech Jacket,' redeemable."
[confirm.
This item is a concept design inspired by the fusion of cutting-edge nanotechnology and biomechanics from the Invincible universe.
It is not merely armor, but rather something that can deeply coexist and adaptively optimize with the user's existing mechanical modifications.
Intelligent exoskeleton systems that provide additional computing and energy support are particularly suitable for highly mechanized individuals.
Unit price: 800 Governance Points.
Confirm?
This was a gift Guilliman intended for Cawl, since he was always assigning tasks to people.
A qualified ruler must be fair in rewarding and punishing.
He believed Cawl would like the gift.
This person has already reached the limit in modifying his own body, but due to the traditional beliefs of the Adeptus Mechanicus, they certainly hope to replace more flesh and blood with machines.
This Tech Jacket is perfect for the opponent; it can even partially replace a part of their brain and enhance their combat capabilities.
In the world of Invincible, the combat power of the Hero Tech Jacket is comparable to that of some ordinary Viltrumites.
But this is also because the manipulator and the Tech Jacket are highly compatible.
However, Guilliman believed that as the most mechanically skilled person in the entire Imperium, Cawl's compatibility with the Tech Jacket would certainly be quite high.
This way, the opponent won't need to rely on a large protective force to maintain their safety, and even their research efficiency will be much higher.
Guilliman could almost picture Cawl's reaction to receiving this "gift"—a look of unprecedented curiosity would surely gleam in his mechanical eyes.
"Confirmed," he said with a smile.
After the exchange, there was still a large surplus of one million Governance Points.
Guilliman closed the exchange interface with satisfaction.
The system seemed ready to launch another "Milky Way Conquest Speech," but he mentally muted it beforehand.
He slowly rose from his throne and walked toward the viewing window.
Outside the window, his fleet sailed orderly along its orbit; further into the depths of space lay the now peaceful and prosperous Five Hundred Worlds.
And... the vast and dark Milky Way awaiting rekindling by the fires of order.
"One must take things one step at a time."
He muttered to himself, as if speaking to the silent being, or perhaps reminding himself:
"First, solidify the land beneath our feet, ensure the people are well-fed and clothed, relieve the soldiers of their worries, and allow science and technology to see a new dawn... Only then can we reach for the stars and the sea."
Eighth watch! Eighth watch!
My father's loyalty to all readers shines as brightly as the sun in the sky!
I'm still begging for free little gifts and five-star reviews.
