Chapter 489 Father’s eyes watch and protect us-
“Tell me about the Maelstrom? Pepe...Pepe?”
Walking on the newly built second-floor walkway in Wandering Port , one of the dynasty's consuls looked at the starry sky outside the new floor-to-ceiling windows with his ice-blue eyes.
From the side where they are now, there are no signs of activity in the terrible subspace storm "Maw" that separates the roaming port from the landing port, but they can see the bloated structure in the Rubicon II system. The light blue gas giant planets and those bright light spots distributed in the asteroid belt will never go out on a daily basis, and only the workers illuminated by them will be replaced in three shifts.
These are the recently opened large number of hydroponic farms and assembly line factories belonging to the Carosini dynasty.
These two mysterious, adventurous and wealthy dynasty governors did not seem to worry at all that these low-value business projects that could not be moved or taken away, and looked like brittle apples and peaches, would be attacked by pirates, orcs, and the dark side. There is the problem of plundering by the Eldar or their peers, who are wantonly expanding their investment here.
Many outlaws or alcoholic pirates with shallow thinking skills may easily regard this as a short-sighted and foolish novice behavior, but senior officials and rogue traders with more strategic vision will see this expressed great concern.
Because the dynasty's "security guards" openly disrespected the laws of the Empire and the Adeptus Astartes, they never attracted more attention from the Inquisition. On the contrary, most of the Inquisitors stationed all year round or they Representatives began to evacuate this place one after another, which left the remaining empire personnel confused and even more afraid to act rashly.
The big businessmen hold a dispensable but not optimistic attitude towards this: In any case, primary agricultural products, fresh water and basic industrial products have begun to be supplied in sufficient quantities. Being in the most remote and barren corner of the galaxy is not a bad thing for them, but it's not a good thing either.
Originally, they could simply transport relatively low-priced food, drinks and other resources from other agricultural star regions here to exchange for rare, unknown but possibly very valuable adventures with aliens or explorers. Harvest, but now they have to choose some rarer and higher-priced goods.
Although this will not reduce their profits, it will increase cost risks and further raise the threshold for small businessmen to enter the industry.
Many small traders with equally meager principals and profits have turned to work in the factories of the Carosini Dynasty, where the survival resources are more stable and calculated to be lower than the risks involved in small business. It would be much better to be robbed by pirates or worse things that might appear out of nowhere one day, or to have your throat cut in the darkness of an alley and all your belongings taken away.
So after the peaceful, natural, and unnoticed period of slow transformation ended, the merchant guild suddenly discovered that the Carosini dynasty had quietly transformed in their own country without any resistance. More than 70% of the workforce in Roaming Port and surrounding areas are gathered in the facility, and this number is still increasing, which makes the remaining big businessmen also start to become wary.
These facilities of the Carosini dynasty with surprisingly abundant and stable energy supplies now house a large migrant population as workers who are willing to exchange labor for food, fresh water and throne coins, and the children of these families are Sent to a school on a newly developed asteroid.
After considering and listening to the itinerant sermons of priests wearing holy skull helmets, most parents choose to use some throne coins from their wages to board their children in schools, because this way they can Mothers and eldest children in the family were freed to work in factories, and older people could also take up childcare jobs in schools.
In short, according to the Emperor's Angels who will come back and forth among mortals to preach, this way a family can earn double or even multiple wages, create more value for the throne, and dedicate more of their loyalty— —Furthermore, factories and schools will provide two meals and drinks, which is much more cost-effective than leaving the mother at home to take care of the elderly and children!
This has given rise to more urgent needs for accommodation around these factories and schools. At the same time, in order to facilitate unified management and planning of school bus shuttle routes in the galaxy, several asteroids have been occupied by wealthy people. The dynasty bought it, and after observing the mechanical temple of the roaming port and more and more Ohm Messiah believers flying over to observe, either openly or covertly, it was skillfully installed with energy systems and gravity generating devices, and subsequently many ecological systems of different sizes. Domes sprouted like mushrooms after a rain.
But just when everyone thought that the Carosini dynasty was planning to run some profitable shipyards or rent out these comfortable domes to nobles as villas or places of enjoyment, the consuls The new order made the nobles and businessmen puzzled - according to the order, the "security guards" of the Carosini Dynasty quickly built many so-called "workers' new villages" on it, which seemed to be unreasonable. The low prices for earning money are rented out to the mortal farmers or worker families who work for them!
Multi-story accommodation buildings with a simple exterior painted in cement colors with yellow and black stripes are rare in design, but they are square and square, with solid materials, and each suite is enough to accommodate a whole family. Short-distance passenger terminals have been established on all the asteroids under their name, and small aircraft operated by the dynasty are also used for transportation.
Now, as soon as the end of get out of class or work time stipulated by the Carosini Dynasty comes, you can see the migrating animals from the central observation tower, command deck or the monitor of the Mechanical Temple in the roaming port. Short-distance shuttles swarmed out like migratory birds and began to carry out a large number of inter-galactic transportation activities.
The original shuttle dock guild pilots and workers in Wandering Harbor were a huge force, but now they are as quiet as chickens - most of the workers have entered the factory, and more than half of the pilots in the guild have heard about their wages. After receiving the benefits, they enthusiastically devoted themselves to this new job, which was more stable and had pleasant passengers. The remaining people were also very satisfied: after the number of competitors decreased, the demand of tourists and the port itself improved the income and mood of the remaining pilots at the same time. Greatly improved, service attitude has become more friendly.
The final result is that there are fewer and fewer idlers roaming the harbor doing nothing. The owners of shops and bars feel that people’s tempers have become kinder and business is more prosperous. The missionaries of the state religion They were stunned to find that although the number of donations had greatly increased, they could find fewer people who were willing to follow them on their expedition to the wild galaxy. Even the new arrivals would soon be taken away by the impatient job agents at the dock. Only determined pilgrims will continue to make pilgrimages to the "Torch of Holy Pius" and receive the "Holy Communion Cup" - but it is hard to say how much can be left for the state church after listening to the sermons of those tall angel priests.
Centering the Court of the Dead, where restaurants and specialty stores are located, "security guards" wearing silver power armor were sent to demolish a large number of complex and dangerous old illegal buildings, while the people were You can see them and the "engineers" who are also wearing silver power armor excitedly gesticulating, but no matter what, in the end, the new roads and cabins were re-planned, taking into account both beauty and solidity, even the most picky, Father Ackles, the chief architect of Port Wandering, couldn't fault it.
Nowadays, some non-main roads are almost empty except for cleaners and servitors during working hours, so that uninterrupted walks like this have become possible.
"Why do you suddenly want to know this?" Walking on the left side of Lamizane, Perturabo BC turned his eyes from behind his special eyepiece and looked at him inquiringly.
"Well, I don't know why I'm always paying attention to the extreme star field these days. When I look at the star map, I think of the Maelstrom... I think it might be that Guilliman is about to wake up? But Master Kadu'er The people he led could not find any movement from the Spiritual Death Army or anyone else."
"His psychic abilities are still not as good as before. After all, his divination method is not so popular in the current universe. "The border collie patted its tail lazily, "Besides, it wasn't because you didn't pay enough attention when you were reading that you couldn't remember the specific time and place! I don’t even remember the direction, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack!”
“How can you blame me! Who has the luxury of reading all the relevant books! How can I spend all my time taking care of you! It’s only two hours!”
“Oh, first of all, I’m not your dog, what does the time you spend with your dog have to do with me? Secondly...Hey, wait a minute.”
Perturabo BC maneuvered his fearless vehicle under camouflage and turned around. From the outside, the consul turned sideways and looked at the entrance of the passage they came up from. A face with an excited expression and a pair of sea pine green, radiant eyes first emerged from the shadows, and Lamizane heard Perturabo BC let out a roar mixed with anger or more complicated emotions.
"What's wrong? Isn't that Togaton?"
The dog curled up his canine-toothed lips and lowered them. He unconsciously licked the tip of his nose - of course, this was The hallucination camouflage was handled appropriately, and the brown-eyed Archon licked his lips.
"You are right." He murmured, "He is Taric Torgadun."
Lamizan gave Perturabo BC a strange look , turned to ask Togaton who walked up to them and saluted the two His Highnesses.
"What's wrong? What kind of urgent matter makes you come here to see us directly? The Black Templars are not satisfied. They went to see Magna's duty list one by one, or Lucius is clamoring to find his Highness Angron again, otherwise Are you about to die of a broken heart? I told Tavitz to shut up Lucius and stop shouting Angron's name so obsessively that everyone can hear it!"
"No! , No, Your Highness! It's the goods we purchased from the Ultramar Sector..." Shadow Moon Wolf said excitedly, "It was robbed by pirates!"
"...We ordered it. Why are you so happy that the goods have been pirated? "
"Of course! Your Highness! According to tradition, we must have an expedition immediately as a punishment! , decide who will be the commander of this expedition fleet! Now the emperor champions of the Black Templar have started fighting among themselves!"
"..."
"..."
Perturabo BC looked at the account books in front of him that were growing excitedly in silence, and bared his canine teeth again.
-
The other side of the universe... less than halfway there.
Although the Maelstrom is not as large as the Eye of Terror due to the sudden tearing of the real universe caused by the birth of Slaanesh, as a large vortex, most research now believes that it is in the natural environment. The "overlapping" area between the "emerged" subspace and the real universe. Its superior geographical location makes it a more popular haven for pirates and a prosperous shady trade zone.
Galactic center.
The geographical location of the center of the galaxy makes the distribution, distribution and trade of any stolen goods possible.
As one of the long and digitized administrative names set by the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, the name of this area in the official imperial documents before the Badab War was "Imperial Resource Exploitation Network 004- 357 Maelstrom Adjacent AutonomousImperialResourceExtractionZoneGrid004-357), and is described in the document below as "the galactic center region between the Sun Star Domain and the Ultimate Star Domain".
So it is obvious that the wealth of this area, especially the extreme star field, is an important foundation for supporting the large and small in the maelstrom, which combined exceeds hundreds of alien empires, pirate groups, chaos warbands and the world. .
This is of course not to say that there is anything wrong with being rich, but being rich to a certain extent that can always be rebuilt is an undeniable factor that allows these guys to harvest every once in a while.
As a spaceship pilot or half-navigator in some of the original plans of "Honso of this time", the remaining storage crystals of Cecillin, the mechanical priest who had been invaded by the Destroyer virus, were mastered by the master of pharmacy. The recovery technology extracted a series of destination data.
Since he could not judge very well which planet his original self planned to go to plunder... well, get some decent food and drink, so he decided to turn on the astrology scan on the way to the extreme star field. Array to see if you can find any merchant ships that happen to be passing by.
Although Vanus and Grendel are both pessimistic about this, after all, even for mature routes, the void is too empty compared to the ships sailing in it, not to mention that they cannot know in advance the passing ships. What kind of cargo would the merchant ships carry? Maybe they would only get a shipload of unhusked grains or worse pastries after working for a long time. It's like throwing a net into the sea, hoping to catch a net full of fat Grox.
"How?" Their new captives were loaded with customized fresh fruits and vegetables, various processed cans and bottles of secondary agricultural products, as well as a large amount of rare metals and materials that could be processed well. On the merchant ship carrying weapons, melted ore ingots and a large amount of accompanying processing equipment, Hong Suo stood up from the cargo hold with a smile and clapped his hands. "Let me just say that my father's eyes are watching and protecting us."
"Maybe." Vannas looked around cautiously, "I don't know why, I feel like I'm being watched, and it's very ominous. "But when the former Raven Guard looked over, there were only horrified looks from the captured merchant crew.
"Ha! Don't worry about those worldly opinions, Vannas, let us first take stock of this harvest. Then we decide whether to go to the original planet..."
