Chapter 67, real or fake phoenix?
100 points of gift, exchange for a seed.
It's really expensive.
And the seeds exchanged for 100 points of gifts cannot be equated with a space warrior.
How much is a young, strong, determined, and highly talented young man worth?
How much was it worth to have had the implant surgery, survived the transformation, and gone through the long and grueling training in the ways of the Space Marines?
How much is the power armor on your body, which is specially designed and manufactured for Space Marines and can have neural connections with Space Marines, worth?
Gu Hang still likes to use the system's gift point system to calculate the value.
He has been upgraded twice to LV3, with a total value of about 70 points of gifts. 10 points for activation, 10 points for level 2, and 50 points for level 3. When you reach level 4, you will get 200 points of gifts.
He is no match for any Space Marine now, and it is estimated that he will have to wait until level 4 before he can be on par with an ordinary Space Marine. A group of veterans like Phoenix would probably need level 5 to fight against them. And people like Martins, Pastor Rizzo, and a bald warrior that Gu Hang observed were stronger than the other four veterans.
In this way, you can probably think that a space warrior is worth about 300 points of gift, and a veteran is worth about 800 points.
If Gu Hang wanted to use the system to create a space warrior from scratch, he would probably have to exchange 100 points for a seed first, and then do the implantation. If it failed, all 100 points would be wasted. Only if he could survive could he proceed to the next step.
The new recruits who survived had no hardware, no experience and no skills. Gu Hang had to spend at least 111 points to train him to the level of T1 level arms, and then find a way to get a set of power armor. In this way, he can get about a standard can.
After completing this process, the gift points cost at least 200. The set of power armor was assumed to be worth 100, which was indeed similar to the 300 cans he had estimated based on his combat power.
That's why Gu Hang sighed, it's so expensive!
I've been working for a few months now, and I don't even know if the total gift points I've earned are enough to reach 300 points!
But what stopped Gu Hang, and even made him chill when he saw the repeatable branch event of [Phoenix Checkmate] that could be exchanged for gene seeds, was his ability to quickly realize the major hidden dangers contained in this matter.
If he changed his seed and then met Martins and said that this is my support for you, then Martins would definitely not be half grateful. Instead, he would definitely take out his bolter and ask him what the hell he was doing. Get the gene seed, and then send him to the trial court.
There is no use in quibbling, this seed is specially marked as belonging to the Phoenix Chapter.
The gene seeds of each war group will be different. It may be difficult for outsiders to distinguish, but for themselves, they can see it at a glance.
How will Gu Hang explain it then?
He couldn't explain it at all.
This is a function that I dare not use.
But soon, another bold idea came to Gu Hang's mind:
"Then can I... occupy the magpie's nest?"
When you become rich, you can redeem a bunch of gene seeds, secretly find people, ensure loyalty, psychically brainwash, secretly implant seeds, and secretly cultivate. Warframes can also be purchased secretly from certain forging worlds.
When the strength I have accumulated is almost the same, the entire Hongmen Banquet will be called by throwing cups. Seven real phoenixes will be surrounded by 70 fake phoenixes trained by Gu Hang. After they are killed, the real phoenix will be me in the future. It’s Lao Gu’s fault!
"Population replacement plan? Uh... This is too stupid..."
Gu Hang shook his head and put this thought aside.
Am I, Governor Gu, the kind of person who wants to harm allies?
What's more, this matter is easy to say now, but it is still very troublesome to actually do it. I don't know how many details need to be dealt with.
Let’s talk about it later.
Anyway, now, I can't afford such a high-end unit.
……
The Governor-General's Government of Angry Owl and the Phoenix Chapter have since become informal allies. It's informal because they didn't sign any specific agreement or put it into writing. It’s just that the Phoenix Chapter promised to send them a mission invitation if Governor Gu had any trouble. And they will also perform tasks as required depending on the situation, whether they accept it or not.
Except for the mission invitation from the Governor, in principle, all their activities are free, but it is best to say hello to the Governor in order to respect the Governor's right to rule the entire planet.
The Governor is also obliged to provide them with a station on the planet, provide supplies, and continue to provide the necessary help for the Chapter's reconstruction within the Governor's ability to afford it.
In fact, this kind of reconstruction help has already begun.
The first is ammunition supply.
Wu Jiarong received a request from the Governor, and she had to produce bolt gun bullets.
This is difficult. The current industrial base of Raging Owl is completely incapable of production.
Diamond warhead, secondary fire propulsion, mass reaction fuze, secondary explosion characteristics...
It can both penetrate armor and explode. This thing requires very high craftsmanship.
If it really needs to be done, it's not impossible. Wu Jiarong has to rely on her own hands to rub it one by one - the robotic arm modified on her body can complete this job. The few junior technicians under her might be just as competent as the entire workbench.
The yield is very impressive.
Moreover, asking her, the 'technical leader' in the governor's camp, to spend a lot of time doing the work of rubbing bullets with her hands was obviously a waste of talent and would also affect the development of Gu Hang's territory.
But after all, it is a way of supply.
Subsequently, Wu Jiarong also moved some equipment from the Phoenix Chapter's spaceship Fenyu to study how to mass-produce it, so that at least her junior technicians could take over the job.
There is also power armor maintenance, and currently only Wu Jiarong can do this job. Don't make too much damage, just make small repairs. As a technical specialist, she can still do the job.
In fact, technical sergeants are generally responsible for the maintenance of equipment of the battle group. Phoenix's former technical sergeant went to Mars, the headquarters of the Mechanicus, for training. The level is even higher than that of ordinary technical priests.
But what can be done?
As long as this is the case, just be patient.
Rebuilding is not an easy task, it requires hard work!
However, on the other hand, Governor Gu's investment in the reconstruction of the Chapter was still recognized.
An engineering team was specially formed. They will build a monastery quite far away from the camp.
The Space Marines claim to be the Emperor's children and the Emperor's angels of death. They have always considered themselves to be the strongest believers in the God-Emperor in the Empire. They are a military organization, yes, but they are also a religious organization. Many Space Marine Chapters will call their headquarters 'Fortress Monastery'.
The construction site that has already started has also attracted Phoenix soldiers to visit it.
They all couldn't help but think of the war group's former headquarters on their home planet.
This one now is completely different from the one back then.
But at least, this is a good start and the war group is on the right track.
On the next day, the seven Phoenix warriors left the house that the governor had arranged for them and lived directly next to the monastery construction site.
They were to see this monastery built from scratch.
