The problems faced by Guilliman and Trajann Valoris are actually not difficult to solve.

As long as they accept Iax's suggestion and use artificial intelligence combined with automatic maintenance machinery, they can significantly reduce the number of necessary personnel on a ship.

However, Guilliman not only firmly rejected the suggestion from Men of Iron, but also put forward a special requirement. No matter how the final ship is built, it must ensure that it cannot be directly controlled from the data level.

And this means that no matter how the various components are finally combined, the final produced ship will face a large number of personnel requirements, and each ship or equipment will be equipped with a large number of physical operation buttons and physical linkage operating devices to ensure its operation.

This ancient method of operation seems to Men of Iron to be an extremely inefficient and stupid choice, but Guilliman must take precautions against these threats.

In order to carry enough people, the ship must be very large.

The larger the ship, the more equipment it is equipped with, and the greater the demand for personnel will be.

For this reason, these technical personnel assigned by Guilliman and Trajann Valoris from Terra and Adeptus Mechanicus had to resort to the computing power of Men of Iron in order to obtain a relatively balanced value.

But the results obtained were still mind-numbing.

According to the scale and size of Imperial Fleet, this will be a total number of tens of millions of Imperium Battleship.

This requires close to at least 400 billion naval crew members who have received technical training, Tech-Priest, an astronomical number of Servitor, skilled workers and various high-end talents.

To fill the personnel carried by these ships, at least six to eight hundred billion Astra Militarum are needed.

This means that even all the troops of Imperium cannot fill this 'happy trouble'.

This is already the result of optimizing people as much as possible.

Just when Guilliman and Trajann Valoris were stuck in thinking about the dilemma caused by this data, Iax started his own work.

Necromunda needs a complete overhaul.

Planetary Governor issues a global announcement at the request of Iax.

All Hive City are shut down.

Both Upper Hive nobles and Underhive Slaves must return to their homes.

As for the refugees outside Hive City and the tribesmen in the wilderness, they were labeled as useless and abandoned.

This is Planetary Governor's decision. Men of Iron doesn't care about the life or death of these people.

Van Saar Family also issued a rally, and even those who are not direct family members can go to the new Van Saar Town to get asylum.

Heart of the Forge began to use the Shipyard system below for remote projection printing at the two poles of Planet.

This is a new construction technology obtained by Iax from Akashic Space, which is somewhat similar to the super-dimensional manufacturing technology of Necrons.

But more advanced.

After all, Necrons also needs Canoptek Scarab close-range printing facilities.

Now, Iax can be used for long-distance projection. Although the projection distance is not that far, the distance of one or two astronomical units is still a small problem.

And this means that Iax can use Industrial Ship to make unlimited direct deliveries at any time.

Even Warp Teleportation Technology, once regarded as advanced technology, is no longer so important.

As two giant buildings shaped like inverted pyramids appeared at the two poles of Necromunda and Planet, huge beams of light began to penetrate the entire Planet.

This is a Planet stabilization system, a special device used to ensure the rotation of Planet and maintain the stability of the Planet magnetic field and gravity.

Once Federation Era, many Artificial Planets were built for this device.

As the beam opened up the entire Planet and its core, the active Planet core inside began to try to spurt outward.

However, the high-pressure and high-density core began to surge outward and fill the underground structure that was riddled with holes over the years.

The earth is shaking and the crust is gradually cracking.

The continental plates began to operate again, and the vast amounts of water still contained in the deep underground were evaporated under high temperatures, turning into countless hot steam gushes out from the cracks on the surface.

The temperature on the entire Necromunda Planet began to rise sharply.

As the high-energy beam penetrating the entire Planet gradually extinguished.

The buildings on the two poles begin to fall, and the two components will enter the already empty core of Planet to complete the merger, and generate an artificial planetary core similar to Forge World Lucius.

This huge Fusion Core will maintain its rotation and ensure the stability of Planet's gravity, while also outputting nearly unlimited energy to the entire Planet.

Compared with Imperium Hive City and Plasma Reactor, this Artificial Planet core will not produce any pollution and can accept any raw materials as energy supply raw materials.

The circulation device constructed with ancient technology can extract energy to an efficiency of over 98%.

The estimated service life is more than one million years.

After ensuring that Planet had a stable core and nearly unlimited energy, the surface transformation began.

The artificial core that replaced the original core of Planet can use the generated gravity to artificially subside land.

Everything relies on the terrible computing power of Men of Iron.

Large plains were constructed.

Oceans that are too deep are squeezed and lifted.

Many Hive Citys on Planet were moved together with the ground in just a few hours.

The metal garbage scattered on the surface fell into the gaps of Planet and became new mineral deposits.

The high-temperature molten slurry that previously spewed out from the core of Planet will refine these substances.

In the newly emerged Planet valley, a giant cooling purification tower thousands of meters high was placed.

These devices are giant upgrades to the weather control devices used by tribesmen in the wasteland.

These giant devices can drop the temperature across the entire Planet by three degrees every six hours.

In addition, the astonishingly high-temperature water vapor in the air will be cooled and liquefied, and oceans will quickly form.

The absorbed heat energy will be sent to the artificial earth core, absorbed by the thermal energy converter, and re-stored as energy.

The filtered toxic substances and radioactive dust will be packaged and sent to the artificial core for consumption.

Pure natural water bodies began to accumulate around these giant installations and became a vast ocean.

Soon a large area of blue that can be seen from space appeared on Planet.

A huge Missile was released from Heart of the Forge and exploded in the atmosphere. The blooming green mist spread rapidly.

It contains a strange bacteriophage microorganism.

This artificially prepared microorganism is used to sterilize Planet. At the same time, due to its artificially compiled genes, this microorganism spreads very quickly, but its lifespan is not long, and it will lose its ability to reproduce and become extinct quickly after reaching the designated number of reproduction generations.

Under the operation of the cooling and purification tower, the air flow rate is very fast, and it only takes a few hours for these artificial microorganisms to spread throughout the Planet.

Much of the biological contamination on the Planet was visibly removed.

Along with Lightning and Thunder Cloud, many Necromunda people saw pure rainwater that is non-corrosive and toxic for the first time.

That is cleaner than the filtered water supplied by Hive City.
