Chapter 408 Comprehensive preparations
“When will you achieve the set goal and develop a drug that can stably treat the plague?”
At the mobilization meeting, Ron turned his attention to the person in charge of the Plague Research Institute.
Not long ago, he handed over the precious knowledge he gained from the goddess of life to the other party.
Having them conduct an in-depth evaluation of this knowledge and give a clear research timetable is the key to gaining an advantage in the Plague War.
The virtual image of the ever-changing healer flashes, and you can clearly see that the great sage's whole body is covered with traces of the plague.
He hesitated for a moment and replied: "My dear Goddess of Machinery, it will take us eight standard Terran years to digest the sacred knowledge and develop the healing potion you want..."< br>
The savior is quite demanding.
He hopes that the plague research sages will build a set of basic templates for stable treatment of plague, and develop medicines similar to a panacea that can specifically treat various types of plague.
Under normal circumstances, that would be impossible.
Fortunately, the Plague Research Institute had enough accumulation and acquired the knowledge given by the gods, as well as the experience of universal elixir for reference, which made it possible.
But that still takes a lot of time.
Eight years are already quite intense, and this is despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of biological sages participating in the research, and the research process has been improved.
"In five years, your resource investment will double again."
Thinking of the tragic situation when the plague was raging, Ron gritted his teeth and his tone was irrefutable.
His investment in plague treatment has been extremely astonishing. The Plague Research Institute is said to be a research institute, but in fact it is a huge institution that occupies a planet by itself.
In addition to the numerous biological sages, there are billions of people serving it, including a transport fleet.
A massive amount of resources are pouring into that planet every moment.
Of course, in addition to research on therapeutic potions, other related research is also taken into account, such as weapons to deal with Nurgle demons, protective clothing, cleaning machinery for epidemic areas, etc.
Now that the related investment has doubled, it will bring more financial pressure to Wangting District.
Not only the Plague Research Institute, but also dozens of other departments in the Savior Territory have increased their expenditures, leaving the finances facing a deficit.
The fiscal deficit means raising taxes.
Ron suddenly discovered that the territory was getting a little closer to the empire, and he felt the hardships of the empire.
The war is urgent and resources are in short supply. The Ministry of Interior has to increase taxes to obtain resources to alleviate the corrupt situation. However, after the tax increase, the situation in more areas will be corrupted.
Therefore, in order to restore the situation in those places, we have to continue to increase taxes.
In this way, the entire empire fell into a death cycle, stepping deeper and deeper into the quagmire, making it difficult to escape.
Fortunately, the savior territory’s health bar is relatively thick, so such a huge resource expenditure is only a slight deficit, not to the point of breaking the bones.
But it is obvious that the period of rising prosperity has temporarily passed. With the advent of large-scale war, the territory has to tighten its belt and live a hard life.
"Maybe that's not such a bad thing..." Ron thought.
Because he noticed that after decades of prosperity, many citizens who had not experienced war had relaxed their beliefs, especially some high-ranking citizens, who indulged in extravagant enjoyment.
They became more and more like the aristocrats of the empire, lost their enterprising spirit, and even became corrupted.
Born in sorrow and dying in happiness.
Due to the sacrifice and strict defense of the Savior Army, no war has spread to the mainland for many years.
This has caused many citizens to gradually forget one fact:
That is, war has never gone away, and mankind still faces the danger of destruction.
It was only more than thirty years ago that the citizens of the Savior Territory were able to get rid of hunger, fill their bellies, and live a life without starving to death.
However, those new citizens have become accustomed to a stable and well-fed life, thinking that they are born with it and that it is within their reach.
Lost awe.
Even though the propaganda department has been doing relevant loyalty education and telling the miserable situation in other regions of the empire.
There are still some omissions.
It is dangerous to continue like this, because in such a world, the corruption of ideas is often the most terrifying thing.
Perhaps there is also the influence of the Evil God of Chaos.
But no matter what, he did not want to see the shadow of Chaos Cult in the territory again.
Now that the Plague War is coming, it is a good time to take advantage of the tax increase to allow the Inquisition to do more activities, rectify the atmosphere, and curb some bad phenomena.
It also makes more citizens aware of the dangers in the galaxy today.
In short, the Savior Territory will have a hard time in the future until it survives this war.
Including his savior himself, he will also reduce corresponding expenses, and local specialties and small seafood will also have to stop.
Lead by example.
Ron's thoughts were passing by at high speed, his eyes still focused on the ever-changing healer, waiting for the answer.
After he proposed the goal of completing the research within five years, the other party was silent for more than ten seconds.
The All-Changing Healer seemed to have completed his estimated calculations and did not dare to say anything more. He saluted slightly: "As you wish, Lord Savior.
The Plague Research Institute will produce in five standard Terran years. A result that satisfies you..."
This biological great sage also knew that the savior's territory and the human empire were about to face a terrible disaster, so he took on this difficult task.
He believes that under the blessing of the Mechanical Goddess, all research can proceed smoothly.
Ron received the answer, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at other virtual images in the conference hall. The people participating in this meeting were basically important members of various departments.
For example, Bayev, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Hand of the Savior, Ari and Keith, the heads of the Military Department, Duke, Prue, and Tong, the Chapter Commanders, Deville, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, and Popov of the Logistics Department, etc.
People from departments such as the engineering department, the people's livelihood department, the commercial department, the Medical Sisters and other departments also participated.
This is the first general meeting of the Savior Territory in more than ten years, and it is related to the future of the territory and the empire.
The issuance of any government order will affect the fate of hundreds of millions of citizens.
He listened to reports from the heads of various departments to understand the latest progress and next goals of some departments.
Today, the number of Space Marines has grown further and is expected to reach 150,000 in five years.
Biological genetic modification technology has made new breakthroughs.
Due to the high adaptability of the savior's gene seeds, the current biological genetic modification surgery for the Ogryns is gradually improving, and Ogryn space warriors will appear within five years.
The normal height of Oglin people is 2.5-3 meters, and individuals who can participate in genetic modification surgery are taller and stronger.
After the transformation, the body shape will probably be even more amazing.
Ron looked forward to these loyal, fearless Ogryn Space Marines joining the battlefield.
The Storm Army is increasing the number of combat armored units, allowing these individual combat armored warriors transformed from Tau combat uniforms to gradually replace ordinary elite warriors.
They will form a new combined combat armor battalion to cooperate with the Imperial Knights and Redemption Titans.
"Savior above, after the new combined battalion is formed, I guarantee that we can crush the eggs of those damn heretics and let them know how powerful we are!"
Arui Diao, commander of the Storm Group Army He smoked a cigar and said fiercely.
"Yes, I look forward to the performance of the Storm Army."
Ron smiled gently.
After many years, that guy Ya Rui is still so rude and hasn’t changed much. Perhaps the only change is that he has more scars on his body.
What this war has to deal with is Nurgle's army, which needs to face large-scale poison gas and biological and chemical weapons. Ordinary armies cannot play a role.
Basically, as many as you go will die, and you can't build a front at all.
These armies, composed of fully-covered combat armored warriors equipped with filtering devices, can better operate on battlefields filled with poisonous mist or biological and chemical weapons.
They will become one of the core main forces in this war.
"Lord Savior, our redemption fleet will be in the next few years..." Navy Commander Keyes gave a standard greeting and said unhurriedly.
The commander became calmer, with a trace of white hair on his head, and his eyes lost the original cunning and treacherous look. Holding a high position for many years has made him change a lot, and he has acquired more characteristics of a manager.
He had long realized that he was not the unknown person he was before, and he did not need to charge into battle like before. Those slick and cunning things would only have a negative impact.
What's more, I am only a mortal, and I can't be like Ya Rui, who can be the boss and charge on the front line.
Ron listened carefully to Case's well-organized report and had a general understanding of the situation of the Redemption Fleet.
The overall Redemption Fleet has not changed much, and its strength will not increase much in the short term. It may be able to launch a dozen large warships.
This is already the limit.
The war is probably only a few years away now, and the casting and repair of battleships requires a lot of time and resources. In such a short time, the battleships of the Redemption Fleet can be polished at most.
Perhaps it can also carry a few more special weapons against the Nurgle fleet.
Can't do much.
Therefore, the next task of the Redemption Fleet is to allow the fleet commanders to receive higher-intensity special simulation training to cope with the new war situation.
After that, it’s the matter of the Medical Sisters.
This sector of the organization is one of the most changing, and will grow tremendously in strength and membership over the next few years.
Because the activity of the Plague Lord has inevitably affected the real universe, the incidence of disease has greatly increased.
Although these diseases are not fatal, they can greatly harm productivity.
Nowadays, highly contagious epidemics such as influenza, fever purpura, and antcow fever often occur in the territory.
It has had a great impact on the working life of citizens.
It also greatly increased the burden on the medical system, making the existing rough medical system in the territory unbearable and causing great trouble.
This is a problem that must be solved.
After this meeting, many planets will establish modern hospital systems to cope with the increasing number of various diseases, and medical insurance-related systems will also be online.
To solve citizens’ medical problems and ensure the stability of productivity.
It is foreseeable that the Lord of Plague will become more active in the coming years.
No matter what, we must ensure that medical resources are sufficient and even wealthy, otherwise the plague war will end in half, because the epidemic will cause the productivity and logistics system in the rear area to be exhausted.
That’s it.
During this period, many of the technological achievements of the Plague Research Institute will first be applied in the military, and then gradually extended to civilian use, promoting the development of related biomedical business institutions.
Any large-scale war will affect the development of science and technology, and even affect all aspects of the territory and even the galaxy. There are too many things to consider.
What's more, it was a very large-scale war that might involve many apocalyptic battlefields!
Later, Ron asked about the situation in the engineering department, focusing on the repair of the network channel.
After all, high-speed waterways are the most critical part of the war, and the supplies needed by the army also need to be transported by waterways. This is the greatest advantage that the Savior’s Territory can have.
Due to the impact of the war, the construction of the Network Galaxy Business Center will be postponed, but a part will be opened to be responsible for the collection and transportation of medical drugs and other resources.
This is a huge demand.
After Ron confirmed that the engineering department could complete the project as scheduled, he did not continue to inquire. He had already obtained all the information he wanted.
He stood up, faced the crowd, and formally decreed total war.
From this moment on, the territory will enter a state of total war, and all institutions and all activities must serve the war.
This process may last for years, decades or even hundreds of years, and hundreds of millions of lives may be lost.
But as long as Nurgle’s large-scale invasion does not stop, the fight will continue until the territory wins the war!
The savior’s voice echoed throughout the conference hall through the sound generator.
Afterwards, these sounds will be collected, transmitted in some form to the machine soul host in the Erth Holy Land, and then sent to various areas under the savior's command.
Soon after, nearly two thousand civilized worlds in the savior’s territory will sound the alarm one after another, and the voice of the great savior will echo in the atmosphere of the entire planet.
Declare this decree of war.
This is a law that cannot be refuted, cannot be questioned, and must be resolutely implemented. Anyone who violates or obstructs the execution of war laws will be severely punished by the Tribunal.
In special times, there is no upper limit to trial specifications!
After Ron issued the war decree, he looked at the old but energetic savior's hand:
"Baev, the next thing will be left to you..."
This collective mobilization meeting will last for dozens of days. The heads of various departments will gradually discuss and determine specific implementation details and formulate a government order to ensure the smooth progress of comprehensive war preparations.
You just need to control the general direction yourself, but the details must be left to Bayev, the old manager.
What's more, he also has important plans to complete.
After Ron chatted with Bayev for a few words, he left the temporary conference hall of the Dream, and the virtual projections went out one after another.
This is not a formal meeting venue.
In fact, he was the one who participated in the meeting with a virtual projection. The real meeting venue was in the sacred meeting hall of the Erth Holy Land.
There is a core meeting of dozens of people going on there, followed by dozens of venues and large-scale meetings attended by nearly a million people at the same time, detailing the decree down to the implementation level.
That is a large-scale meeting attended by administrators from many different civilized worlds. Specific implementation details will be discussed taking into account the differences between different civilized worlds.
This is the disadvantage of having a large territory. Too many worlds with different civilizations, different levels of development, and even different races are blended together.
The implementation of any government order must take into consideration all aspects. To avoid doing bad things with good intentions.
In that sacred conference hall, hundreds of thousands of meetings are held every day, so much so that tens of thousands of administrative staff are specially set up to manage the conference hall.
As for the service staff responsible for maintaining the hall, guiding the way, and catering, there are even more service personnel. It is a huge organization in itself.
Perhaps this chaotic situation can be ended when the Savior Territory develops in a balanced manner through transfer payments.
Fortunately, the territory has a complete government and communication system that can handle these situations well.
Otherwise, we can only completely control most of the territory like the empire, and then apply a tithe across the board.
After Ron ended the meeting, he returned to the miniature garden and allowed his body to continue to bask in the artificial sun, while his consciousness returned to the previous Battle Fortress or Dark Demon Temple.
Under the influence of the Chaos Body, the fortress became more and more like the Chaos Realm.
In the fortress hall, chaotic evil energy surged.
His consciousness regained control of the Chaos Demonic Body, and he sat high on the black throne. A dim planet could be faintly seen outside the observation deck opposite.
That is the Black Abyss Star.
Under the tug of the Chaos Warship, this fortress is gradually approaching the Chaos Planet.
Ron will not leave the Eye of Terror for a while.
Now that the war is approaching, the Savior Territory cannot increase its military strength too much in the short term, especially for high-end combat forces such as Space Marines, whose growth is even slower.
This is obviously not enough insurance.
Fortunately, he has new ways to increase his strength. There are many Chaos warriors in the Eye of Terror and they are rich in combat experience.
That is such a precious force, it cannot be wasted.
Ron originally formed the Chaos Force just to prepare for emergencies, but he didn't expect that it would be used now.
He had to take advantage of the war here and seize the opportunity to recruit a group of Chaos troops.
After the Plague War officially begins, take them to quietly dig out the back of Nurgle's army in the galaxy.
Ron looked at the Black Abyss Star.
There are more than two thousand white Chaos warriors there, waiting for you to fish them.
Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a message from subspace.
After Ron saw the specific content, the demon body couldn't help but trembled, obviously shocked:
"Hey~ Lao Ka, Lao Ka, I really have you!"
That was the latest information from Khorne's chicken thief Baal, his half-brother Ka'banha.
