Chapter 183, The technical expert you want

Gu Hang couldn't let Wu Jiarong give up his job.

Without her, we can't rely on the remaining people who are at the level of junior technicians to solve those scientific research problems.

Wu Jiarong went to teach students, and all scientific research work had to stop at half its efficiency.

But if he doesn't teach students or run a school, the difficulties Gu Hang will face will always be there.

If it were someone else, there might really be no solution.

But Gu Hang still has it.

"You have to wait for a while." Gu Hang said, "The school construction will start soon. If you sacrifice half of your time then, you can sacrifice half of your time, but I believe that this half of the time will be made up soon."

Wu Jiarong said: "It is very difficult to teach a qualified technical specialist or even a mechanic. It takes many years of study."

"I know, but maybe there is a genius among us in the Raging Owls?"

"I hope so."

Gu Hang's solution is to first build a technical college, and then use the [Architecture] interface to add the [Architecture School I] template, which is consistent with the operation plan of Zhongji College.

The exchange value of [Technical College I] only requires 500 gift points.

This building actually has two functions:

1. Improve students’ learning efficiency.

2. Increase the probability of emergence of activated technical talents.

The former is of course useful, but it is the latter that can quickly solve Gu Hang's current predicament.

Once there is such a technical talent that can be activated, the gift points will be activated. Even if it is an N card, the attribute points will be given immediately when activated, which will quickly improve its technical level.

It will definitely not reach Wu Jiarong's current level, but at least he can become a qualified assistant, or independently do some research work that has already determined the direction or even the plan.

It would also be good to relieve Wu Jiarong's work pressure a little more.

As for this college, Gu Hang planned to build it in Weixing City.

After all, compared to Fuxing City, which has more emphasis on administration, commerce, and light industry, Weixing City is the production center that needs more technical talents. When Wu Jiarong comes to class, there is no need to travel dozens of kilometers to work in Fuxing City.

Reducing the time this valuable technical talent spends on the road saves the time needed for planetary development.

With the rapid development of the entire league, if we want to be healthier, there are still too many foundations that need to be supplemented.

Sometimes, Gu Hang still thinks that it would be great if he could pick up another master of science and technology for free.

……

Sometimes, Hu Ke still thinks that it would be great if he could have a stable life and allow his children to grow up healthy and happy.

At this moment, he was among a group of refugees, holding a pot of gruel in his hand.

This is the food quota received by their family of four.

A bowl of gruel lasts a day.

Returning to the residence - this is a simple and broken tent, built with rags and construction waste, it can only be three or four square meters at most. He, his wife, his six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter all live here temporarily.

The conditions are undoubtedly harsh. Not only are the living conditions poor, but the sanitary environment is also terrible.

But in fact, Hu Ke was relieved.

At least, it's better than when I fled before.

The experience of escaping all the way north from the southern end of the Qinggu area reminded him of his experience when he fled from his hometown to the Raging Star more than two hundred years ago.

Of course, the so-called more than two hundred years ago was a real time, and in fact, his own physical sensation was not that long.

He came from the 'Forge World of Heavy Forge', and when he left there, he was already an 'Engine Seer' - a 'professional title' within the Mechanicus that is higher than the Mechanicus Priest.

He is a technical expert.

As for why he left Heavyforge...

Because of the war.

Today's Heavy Forge should have been dragged into hell and is no longer in the real universe.

During that war, he fled for his life. At the last moment, he fled into a spaceship in shock and left his hometown.

After boarding the spaceship, wandering in the stars for a few years, and hanging around in the Astra Militarum for a few years, he really couldn't accept the war anymore.

He knew that in this unstable universe, war existed all the time. But as long as it doesn't happen in front of his eyes.

He admitted that he was a coward, but he never wanted to go to the battlefield again and see fighting in person again.

As for those wars still happening, let them happen. Speaking of which, the status of an engine prophet is not low, but when zooming into the infinite universe, what can he decide?

Hu Ke, who is tired of everything, just wants to find a stable, peaceful and beautiful planet to spend the rest of his life.

Indeed, the entire universe is at war all the time. But that's looking at the entire empire. If you shrink your gaze and focus on each planet, each one will be different.

Among many choices, he chose the Raging Owl Star.

The scenery here is good, the productivity is fairly developed, the energy industry relying on the Linghua gas field is not particularly complicated, the social atmosphere is stable, and more importantly, there have been no wars for thousands of years, and there are very few invaders or civil strife on the planet. Or at least the impact is minimal.

This is a place that suits his requirements.

So he came.

With his own abilities, he applied to join a genetic research institute on the planet Angry Owl.

This is not difficult. He is an engine prophet who was born in the Adeptus Mechanicus. He has made outstanding achievements in genetic engineering - it is not that he does not understand other aspects, but he is slightly weak.

After applying for the job, his life began to feel comfortable. He felt that this place was simply paradise. The hard conditions such as climate and environment were countless times better than those of his hometown, which was actually a deserted place and the entire planet was a huge factory.

Moreover, the working status has also been greatly improved compared to the past. He is almost the best genetic engineer here. Some projects are normal and not difficult. He just needs to do his own thing step by step. Unlike in the past, we had to fight for resources and engage in political struggles within the Adeptus Mechanicus.

He settled down to live peacefully on the Raging Owl Star, found a woman who could soothe his soul, and gave birth to a pair of children together.

At this point, he realized something that he had never experienced in his past life. He felt that this might be what happiness looks like.

However, the good times do not last long, and 'happiness' may be the most luxurious thing in the entire universe. When his daughter was only three years old and his son was only two years old, the Raging Star War broke out.

The war did not affect him at first, but he was still keenly aware of the danger.

He is quite experienced in this.

Hu Ke immediately accompanied the evacuation team, taking his wife and children to the place he felt was safest.

It was a shelter, built to the highest standards. Logically speaking, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, the location is hidden, and the planet can be evacuated immediately. In fact, as far as he knew, the spacecraft to evacuate these high-value talents should already be on the way.

However, there is no lower limit to how unlucky a person can be.

First, the evacuating spaceship was shot down midway, and then the shelter he was in was discovered by the enemy, and a large number of demons rushed towards it.

At the critical moment, before the shelter was breached and before the commander of the shelter desperately issued the self-destruct order, he used the facilities at the lowest level of the shelter to freeze his wife, children and children, and then collected as many reserves as possible. He had no backup power, and when he rushed to self-destruct, he also froze himself into the dormant cabin.

He didn't know if he could escape this way, but as a husband and father, this was the last thing he could do.

And it turned out that he succeeded.

When he was dug out by his former colleague and student, a native of Angry Owl named Gawaja, he met his wife and children again, and the whole family was still alive.

He cried with joy and couldn't help praying to the Emperor, thanking him for leaving his most precious things in the world.

At the same time, he also learned that this was almost two hundred years after the end of the war. His former student Gawaja is alive today through life-extending surgery. Now, he has established an organization called the 'Natural Salvation Society', striving to build a paradise on the ruined Raging Star, and then extend outward from here, and ultimately restore the natural ecology of the Raging Star and save it. The purpose of the whole world.

To be honest, Hu Ke was not interested in this matter. He has long passed the age where he wanted to save the world.

There are too many worlds in the empire to save, and it doesn’t matter if a few are destroyed.

He just wants to live his life.

However, at this point, they do have similar interests.

Gewajia needed the technical ability of his teacher, while Hu Ke needed the stable order that his students had established at the southern end of the Qinggu area.

This is a seaside town with pleasant scenery and no worries about food and drink. It is still suitable for his family to stay for the time being. He is also willing to use his knowledge and labor to exchange for the power of life for his family.

But while working, he gradually discovered some problems.

There seems to be something wrong with his students.

In other words, there was something wrong with the small town called "Singers" where he lived.

His technical level was excellent enough. Through some of the projects he participated in, he could tell that Gawaja was working on some very new things.

It's not just ecological restoration, but a lot of genetic research and human research.

He saw some achievements made by the Natural Salvation Society, which were called biological weapons and natural weapons.

If that's all, forget it. He tried hard to convince himself that he had to turn a blind eye and develop biological weapons. What's the big deal? In this post-apocalyptic world, there must always be something to protect yourself.

Even if they broke through the bottom line of skull purity, he could turn a blind eye.

The so-called "skull purity" refers to an iron rule that the Empire and the Adeptus Mechanicus have when carrying out human body modification and genetic technology: no matter what shape the person is transformed into, the skull must not be moved.

The empire's culture is all kinds of strange, and every world is different. However, some things are consistent.

Among them, the empire itself has three major symbols: skull, eagle, and gear.

The skull in it symbolizes sacrifice, but also symbolizes human purity. The bodies of traitors, heretics, and aliens are often far from pure humans, and one of the most obvious changes is their skulls. It is for this reason that the normal skull is used as a symbol of human purity and the sacrifices made to defend that purity.

Throughout the Imperium, from the Wall of Martyrs to the Skull Emblem, from the decoration of Space Marine armor to the Seal of Purity... the image of the skull is everywhere.

Moreover, whether it is the research of the Adeptus Mechanicus or the theological research of the Imperial State Church, there is tangible evidence that ensuring the purity of the skull is an important means and factor in maintaining the human soul from being eroded. Changes in the skull are signs of corruption, mutation, and betrayal.

The Adeptus Mechanicus makes servo skulls, makes servitors, modifies the brain, and performs large-scale human body modifications... These are all common, but they will not destroy the shape of the skull. They usually only move the skull's eye sockets, mouth, auricles, etc. hands and feet.

Many of the studies conducted by Gevaga have already exceeded this bottom line.

Even if this is the case, Hu Ke can ignore it.

However, in the end he still couldn't deceive himself.

There is a problem with the technical source of Gevaja.

First, there was something wrong with what his student was calling life-extending surgery. This is very advanced biotechnology, and it is not easy to live for two hundred years. Even he himself didn't have the ability to perform this kind of surgery, let alone his students?

Then, he discovered that there were traces of supernatural powers in many studies.

This in itself is not unusual, and the studies of the Adeptus Mechanicus certainly involve psionics and the belief in the Emperor's alter ego as the God of Machines. Whether it is the former or the latter, it will bring extraordinary power.

However, he does not think that the transcendent part of the technical route of the Natural Salvation Society comes from orthodox beliefs or normal psychic research.

As for where this technology specifically comes from, he has a guess, but dare not say.

But at this point, he still remained silent.

Although he made a lot of preparations in secret, he didn't mention these things at all in front of him.

He was very hesitant.

He knows that the world today has become completely uninhabitable, and he is not alone. After leaving the town of Singers, can he and his family survive in the harsh wasteland environment?

What's more, escaping itself is dangerous enough.

While he was struggling on the night shift, a final straw helped him make a decision: Gewajia asked him to use the technology learned by Nature Salvation to genetically modify his family. The reason was that it would be better in this wasteland. survive on.

Many residents of the town have undergone relevant transformations, and Hu Ke even did it himself.

But when this kind of technology was to be applied to his family, his bottom line was finally exceeded.

He agreed on the surface, but secretly started all the preparations he had made in the past six months.

A large number of biological weapons rioted, and the accumulated modified alien monsters protected him and his family, and escaped from the place that seemed like a paradise but was actually a hellish cave.

After arriving in the outside world and initially confirming safety, he let all the monsters self-destruct.

He didn't dare to run away with these things, because he knew that the technological source of these aberrations was abnormal and could go out of control at any time.

Then, he and his family went through a hellish escape, heading north until they were taken in by the Alliance.
