214. Chapter 214, Heretic Demon Hunter


Chapter 214, Heretic Demon Hunter

Another three months have passed by in a hurry, and it’s already late spring and summer.

Gu Hang had thought about this issue before.

The seasonal cycle of Raging Owl is almost consistent with the Earth in his impression. But this is the strange thing: isn't it an alien planet? What daylight hours, seasonal changes, etc. are so similar?

Later, he got a very likely answer from his own memory: This is what the human pioneers did like this.

That was an era before even the Emperor became an Emperor, and was known as the Golden Age of Mankind.

In that golden age, humans left their home planet and became the overlord of the universe with the help of powerful technology, in-depth exploration of spiritual energy, and super artificial intelligence. They opened one psychic tunnel after another and conducted faster-than-light voyages; they transformed one planet after another with potential into an environment similar to the human home planet through climate modification technology and orbital change technology.

And all of this suddenly ended at a certain moment because of some huge disaster. Human civilization in the golden age collapsed in a short period of time. The human federation with its huge, unified, and efficient system disintegrated, and super-light navigation technology failed. Each and every human colonized planet instantly became a world in this dark and cold universe. It was not until the Emperor appeared and the Human Empire was established that countless human worlds were reunited.

The golden age is already an unverifiable period, and related research is the most profound part of historical archaeology.

As far as current knowledge is concerned, the collapse of the Golden Age is related to two wars with certain alien forces; the core reason is the rebellion of artificial intelligence.

In the current human empire, computer technology is an untouchable ban. That is because in the current era, all computer electronic products have the risk of 'rebellion'. Even if there is a physical disconnection, the intrusion of spiritual energy may cause electronic demons to enter, lurk, and cause heavy losses at critical moments.

Today's humans would rather develop and use inhumane-looking wetware such as servo skulls to achieve similar effects than use electronic computers.

Without computers, this would obviously have a great negative impact on social production. Many things in Gu Hang's memory could not be retrieved at all.

What a pity.

He did not intend to challenge the empire's ban on this aspect, nor did he intend to see with his own eyes what the "electronic demon" was like.

At present, all aspects of the development of Angry Owl Star are going very smoothly, and Gu Hang is not looking for any extra excitement. Don't let those monsters and monsters come to bother Amitabha. He has no interest in looking for trouble on his own initiative.

Farm with peace of mind, grow steadily, and everything will be fine.

During this period, the entire league was indeed living quite peacefully.

This is not to say that nothing happens within the alliance. On the contrary, the changes in the alliance have been great, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as changing with each passing day.

There is a war going on in the east and it is almost over.

Before Yan Fangxu set out, he made a grand promise, saying that it would only take three months to pacify the eastern provinces.

Now it seems that his promise has almost been fulfilled.

There were no monsters or monsters in the east, just regular wasteland survivors who were swept away.

Now, in the east, the framework of three provinces has been established.

Xiongya Province borders Gaota Province; Nanwan Province borders the sea in the south and Beiqinggu; and Wangcha Province lies in the northeast. The names of these three places are basically taken from the names of the most famous cities in the area in the pre-war era.

Now, alliance officials have arrived and are establishing the alliance's governance system in the three eastern provinces. The Central Army Group will continue to be stationed there for a period of time. On the one hand, there are still some uneven areas that need to be sorted out; on the other hand, it has to wait for the local defense construction in the eastern provinces.

In short, they are not in a hurry to come back.

There are still regular garrison divisions here in the alliance capital, and several newly created main divisions have been formed, so there is no need to worry about the defense of the core area.

At this point, it can be roughly said that the eastern provinces have been pacified, and a population of six million has been brought under the rule of the alliance.

Currently, the process of unifying the entire planet is already halfway through.

There are still three places left: Western Desert, Northern Land, and Western Continent. Judging from the population, the entire planet is estimated to have a population of about 40 million, and there are already 20 million under the rule of the alliance.

In the core area of ​​​​the alliance, there are also many changes.

Weixing City continues to absorb the population and has launched many new industries, especially the military production of [Lion Tank]. Among all mechanized combined brigades, the five main combat battalions already have tank companies. Now, this tank company can finally live up to its name. Each tank company is composed of three "Lions", which are really top-notch experts in attacking cities and strongholds; when necessary, the entire brigade of 18 Lions is assembled for use, which is an even more terrifying armored group.

Don't think of the Lion as an ordinary little tank.

There are nine people in the crew of a Lion, and they need to perform their respective duties to drive the tank well. Although it is called a "light" tank, it is actually twice as big as the "Challenger" tank. It drives like a moving steel fortress.

It is said that its upgraded version, the real Astra Militarum main battle tank [Lion Tank], requires a crew of twenty people, is much larger than the Lion, and its firepower is even more exaggerated.

Although the Lion tank is powerful, its production is also very difficult. The black box can only produce four units a month; the tank factory currently under construction can only produce four units a month.

It would take two months to supply the tanks needed for a combined brigade.

Infrastructure construction is underway throughout the three central provinces. With the help of superconducting power grids, basic engineering machines, and construction engineering machines, the overall construction speed has suddenly skyrocketed.

The spring plowing in Beiqinggu Province has almost ended. According to Jason Morgan's report, it seems to be very successful so far. The new agricultural machinery has helped a lot. It is estimated that by the end of the year, not only will the estimated production plan be achieved, but it may also be significantly exceeded.

……

Although there are so many changes, these are all promoted by Gu Hang and the alliance government. These changes are expected and what he wants to see, and there are no special surprises.

Moreover, the monthly gift point income in various places is gradually increasing with the promotion of production plans.

The income in the past month has reached 2104 points.

In the past three months, the total income totaled 5,988 points.

This number made him feel a little unreal.

When I was poor in the past, I would be given dozens or hundreds of gift points every month, and I would make a fortune by fighting. Now, my monthly fixed income alone is already so high.

The more than 18,000 gift points in my hand before, after getting a lot of things, plus ten consecutive draws of 1,000 technology prize pools, I only spent more than 500 points.

As a result, the total now adds up to more than 6,000.

Gu Hang spent three thousand to find ten new blood warriors, and recruited more than five hundred elite soldiers to join the special operations brigade.

With the remaining gift points, he thought about it and built the two new buildings he had unlocked before. [National Church] and [Judgment Hall].

These two buildings are new things that were added to his building list after the [Great Unclean One: Gawaja] incident.

However, Gu Hang did not raise their priority too high. When planning to use the previous 18,000 gift points, he did not allocate them to these two things.

But now, Gu Hang has gift points in his hand and can consider them.

The main reason is that it’s hard to draw technology cards anymore. On the one hand, technology cards with a level of 1,000 points were drawn a bit badly last time. Without the air force, it was already a relatively good result. Drawing it now is not cost-effective, and a few vacuums would be too damaging; on the other hand, , even if they don’t have time and win the lottery, now the alliance is unable to digest more high-level technologies.

Anyway, since he had the gift points in his hand and wouldn't lay eggs, Gu Hang simply spent them to see how much help these two new buildings could help.

[National Religion Church: When you build a church with the Empire’s national religion as its faith and put it into operation, you can redeem this option and give it to the designated church. Improve the firmness of faith of the people in the area covered by the church, reduce various types of corrosion, and slightly increase the probability of the emergence of activated religious talents. New unit can be trained: military chaplain. Exchange value: 1500 gifts. 】

[Trial House: After you build an organization based on the imperial state religion belief and dedicated to eradicating evil, you can designate the organization's headquarters building as the trial house. Improves the efficiency of all law enforcers belonging to the Inquisition in clearing specified evil targets. New unit can be trained: Demon Hunter. The exchange price is 1500 gifts. 】

[After building the trial court, a special target must be selected. There are three categories of options: demons, aliens, and heretics. 】

……

Gu Hang suffered a little loss in the construction of the church.

Perhaps because of his social cognition before time travel, he never felt that religion was very important.

But in fact, it is possible that he has ignored this all along.

As a planet that has already been destroyed once, the religious atmosphere on Raging Owl is actually not that heavy. But in general, almost everyone has heard of the state religion and remembers that some doctrines and even some customs were developed from the religious traditions left over from the past.

When people from the Raging Owl Star encounter something, they also like to use the phrase 'The God Emperor is above' to express surprise, anger, and joy... just like people in Gu Hang's previous life said 'Oh my god'.

However, Gu Hang still has doubts about whether to strengthen religious construction.

As for the new unit of military chaplain, he looked at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

The prices and ratings are the same as those of the company political commissar, and even the functions overlap in many places. One emphasizes loyalty and the other emphasizes faith. Both are meant to boost morale and enforce military discipline, but the forms and methods are different.

Then there's not much need.

Among the many specific effects of [Church], only the one that reduces corrosion is relatively important to him.

In addition, the construction of the trial house at the back required a church as a front building, so he built one without hesitation.

The chosen location was Wei Xing City.

In fact, if you really want to say where it is needed, it must be Beiqinggu Province. Although the problem in the Qinggu area has been solved, if you are not at ease, it is more reliable to build a pressure-corrosion building.

However, the church's coverage area is limited, and the Beiqinggu area is vast and sparsely populated. After many farms were established, the population was extremely scattered, and the value of building a cathedral was greatly reduced.

On the contrary, Wei Xingcheng will definitely become the core and most populous city in the entire alliance in the future. In fact, Weixing City has recently attracted a population of two million people.

When there are more people, management difficulty will inevitably increase.

Gu Hang didn't want Wei Xingcheng in the future to become like the bottom of some hive worlds in his memory, with heresies and cults everywhere.

It still makes sense to build a church to suppress corrosion.

The [Judgment Hall] at the back is more interesting.

Among the current institutions of the alliance, there is indeed no relevant spy agency.

The establishment of the [Trial House] is a better opportunity.

Among the three optional categories, it goes without saying that demons and aliens mainly refer to interstellar races that attack non-human beings. But Gu Hang didn’t have much use for this.

Only the option ‘heresy’ is the most interesting.

A heretic is a traitor among mankind. Essentially, those who do not believe in the Lord of Mankind are usually magnified to believe in the Emperor, but if they believe in the wrong way, they can also be labeled as heretics.

Since it is dealing with human enemies, it is more interesting.

If one day in the future, Gu Hang wants to go to war with Blackbird Heavy Industries on the other side of the planet, entrenched in the westernmost part of the continent, what will he need?

In addition to all aspects of hard power such as military and economics, politics cannot be ignored.

Blackbird is not a local force, and has the support of the Faches family behind it. If Gu Hang wants to take action, he must consider the impact in this regard.

If there is a relevant inquisitor who collects some evidence that can determine that Blackbird Heavy Industries is a heretic, will that be 'justified'?

This is called making a claim.

On the other hand, Gu Hang didn't know much about the situation in the westernmost part of the mainland. He really needs a team to go over there and see what the situation is like.

Therefore, he first instructed the Union Justice, Lambert Hodgson, to establish a trial organization and recruit two teams of people.

Then, the architectural functions were added and it was selected as the Inquisition House.

Immediately afterwards, the two teams recruited were all trained as 'heretic demon hunters'.

A group of people were sent to the west with the mission of 'investigating the heresy situation in the Western Desert and the western region of the mainland', and they were actually doing the work of collecting intelligence.

Another group of people secretly patrolled the various territories in the alliance's homeland, with the mission of 'investigating the heresy within the alliance', and were actually engaged in anti-corruption work.

Under the alliance system, corruption is heresy and there is no problem.
