Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 143 The crisis is coming
Deep underground in the Spire Mansion.

After Carter's reminder, Ron searched the mansion and finally found this top-secret laboratory several kilometers underground.

This place has been closed for several years, and the door of the passage is already covered with dust.

The Grant family has been secretly conducting genetic engineering experiments, and the content of their experiments has long exceeded the limits of what the Empire can tolerate.

Unfortunately, the experiment encountered a bottleneck at a certain stage.

This resulted in the death of a large number of guards who participated in the transformation experiment.

And because of the tithe tax, the judge from the Ministry of Justice was brought in.

The previous governor had to completely close the laboratory and deal with a group of related personnel.

But what happened later was beyond everyone's imagination.

The magistrate’s team was attacked, which attracted the Inquisitor.

This brought even greater disaster to the planet Ers, and the former governor even died as a result.

Since then, the laboratory has been almost forgotten.

Ron, as the heir, knew nothing about this.

"My cheap dad is quite courageous..."

As more and more things are revealed, Ron discovers that the former governor is no simple person.

At least not as kind as he thought.

But it is also true that there is no way that a simple person would come out of the Governor's family that has controlled the planet Ers for more than three thousand years.

If you didn't have some courage and means, you would have been taken advantage of long ago.

This is a good thing, at least it left him a lot of inheritance.

Ron came to the gate of the passage and put his hand into the detection machine. Only the blood of the Grant family can open this alloy gate.

Click.

The needle in the detection machine quickly pierces the fingertip to draw blood.

The inspection passed with a beep and the green light came on.

Boom——

The door opens.

After passing through a long corridor full of mechanisms.

Ron was finally able to enter the laboratory.

There was no longer any human figure in the huge laboratory, only dozens of robot servants were doing basic maintenance work.

After asking the servitor, he went straight to the laboratory's freezer.

There, he saw what he had dreamed of.

"The Grant family is so bold that they secretly hid so many gene seeds..."

Ron was surprised by what he saw.

He couldn't help but admire:

"But I like it. Thanks to Dad, all these things are mine!"

Inside the freezer are rows of octopus-like glandular organs, which people call gene seeds.

This batch of gene seeds should come from different chapters.

He didn't quite understand what they were specifically.

Gene-seed is a colloquial term for genetic engineering, referring to the set of genetic material required to create a Space Marine.

It is essentially a series of germ cell and virus-like protein machines that, after complex genetic engineering, can develop into various organs.

By implanting gene seeds into the human body, biological researchers can transform ordinary humans into super gene warriors.

That is what people often call Space Marines or Astartes.

Gene-seed is considered one of the most precious resources by all the major Space Marine Chapters.

Whenever conditions permit, each regiment will recover the gene storage glands of sacrificed warriors after the battle.

The current gene seed storage situation of the major war groups is not optimistic, and many mutations have occurred.

Many Chapters have mutated to the point where they need to be purged.

Even the Black Dragon Regiment grew horns on their heads due to the mutation of their gene seeds.

The regiment did not dare to hand over the mutated gene seeds.

Who knows whether it will be handed over to the supply team or the court of inquiry after it is handed over.

To raise money for the gene seed tax.

Those chapters had to ask other brother chapters for clean seeds, or buy them from the wandering traders of the Black Ships.

The more radical ones might go and kill the renegade warriors to plunder their gene seeds.

This situation has made genetically modified seeds increasingly valuable and has even spawned an industry chain for the smuggling of genetically modified seeds.

Many lawless wandering traders have joined this group.

It is estimated that the Grant family's batch of gene seeds was obtained through the smuggling channels of the black ship.

When other regiments get some gene seeds from the black ship, it is considered official smuggling.

If others do this, they are committing a heinous crime.

I really don’t know how the Grant family avoided the trial.

All I can say is awesome!
It turns out that working hard on your own is not a good idea, and inheriting an inheritance is more cost-effective.

This wave is considered developed.

After learning about the situation in the laboratory, Ron provided Moss with access rights and allowed him to lead his team into the laboratory.

They will continue to develop genetic engineering technology.

Moss sorted out all the data in the laboratory and reported again:
“Due to the inheritance of a large amount of research data, the research progress was greatly shortened.

According to preliminary estimates, the first batch of transformation experiments can be carried out in five years."

Hearing this, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, he can wait even for ten or twenty years.

Five years is fast enough.

Ron patted Moss on the shoulder and gave encouragement as usual:
"You are worthy of being my chief sage. Work hard and do it quickly!"

After dealing with the gene seed issue, Ron felt relieved.

He returned to the ground in a happy mood and enjoyed a comfortable one-stop service in the luxurious bathing center inside the spire mansion.

"comfortable……"

Ron was lying on a lounge chair by the pool, his face covered with a towel.

This is what life is all about.

Suddenly he felt a little monotonous, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind:
"It seems like something is missing. There's nothing to see. How about forming a dance troupe?"

Wouldn't it be wonderful to play some music and watch the beautiful ladies dancing?

After working so hard for so long, what's wrong with enjoying yourself?
Just as he called a maid and was about to give the order, the head maid Linda walked in.

"Governor, there is an urgent message for you, sent by Sage Caul..." Ron waved his hand to let the maid leave temporarily. He took the data pad and opened the urgent document sent by Caul.

After seeing the content, his eyes suddenly went dark:
"Damn oil man, are you asking me for resources again?"

This was the third time that Kohl had applied for resources, and it almost emptied the existing resource storage on the planet Ers.

It’s really not easy to maintain a warship.

This is a ready-made battleship, you don’t need to build it yourself.

Moreover, the plasma engine is a fusion reaction and does not require too much additional energy.

However, the resources consumed in repairing and modifying the battleship alone are enough to make Ron a pauper.

He was somewhat thankful that the "Dream" was only an entry-level ship of eight kilometers long.

If it was the "Emperor's Fantasy" which was more than 50 kilometers long, or the even larger "Mountain Array", he wouldn't be able to afford it even if he pawned his pants.

The reason why the "Dream" is so strong is mainly because its internal golden age technology core is relatively strong, making it one of the top battleships.

It’s a pity that the time weapon from the golden age was not found on the “Dream”, otherwise it would be truly invincible.

Just think about it, the enemy finally destroyed the "Dream", and the next second she appeared in the same place intact.

No matter how many times it is destroyed, it can be restored.

What a heaven-defying technology that is!

When Ron was racking his brains over where to get the resources for the "Dream".

Kaul started a voice call directly, he was a little anxious:
"Governor, why haven't you approved it yet?

I have been waiting for one hour, forty-five minutes and seven seconds. If there is no more supply, we will have to stop working!"

“Are you in such a hurry?

Tell me the truth, have you upgraded the maintenance plan again? "

"It's just a minor improvement. I suddenly had a new inspiration and made up for several flaws in the previous maintenance plan..."

Ron took a deep breath:

"Can't you just stick to the original plan?"

"Don't you want a more perfect dream ship?"

Kohl's voice came faintly, as if carrying some unknown temptation.

……

Ron was silent for a while, then replied:
"You win. I will review it later..."

It turns out that modification will make you poor for three generations. There is no end to the upgrades!
After he hung up the phone, he consulted Bayev.

Subsequently, Wangting District temporarily canceled several projects and invested all resources and personnel into the maintenance project of the "Dream".

For a long time, the main task of these personnel, construction machinery and factories was to provide corresponding resources for the "Dream".

Fortunately, Ers is a mining planet with rich cultural heritage.

Otherwise, it really can't stand this kind of construction.

After all, it is a planet that can bear the first-class upper-level eleventh tax.

If any other planet were to be hit like this, it would probably become a desert planet.

In the end, Ron approved Kaur's resource application.

He slumped in his chair like a salted fish.

My gold coins were exploded again, what a sin!
"Governor, the matter of the dance troupe..."

The maid came over again and asked about what had just been explained.

Ron waved his hand:

"Don't worry about it, the plan is cancelled..."

What dance troupe? That must be Slaanesh's doing.

Now is the time for hard work.

As the governor, he must resolutely resist such behavior that disrupts the imperial morals!
Let’s talk about everything after we become rich.

Now the productivity gap on Ers is too big and the population is not enough.

"Now that food resources are relatively abundant, we must increase support for fertility policies!"

Ron made the decision and quickly issued a series of birth control policies.

The people's livelihood department has even set up a special agency to implement policies to encourage childbirth.

Families who are actively trying to have children will receive more resources and support, including reward credits and incubators.

This means that families with many children can have a better life.

Moreover, one can quickly accumulate enough credit points to be promoted to a fifth-level lower-ranking citizen.

If there is no way to raise the child, it can be handed over to the orphanage under Zhongsi College.

It can be said to be socialized upbringing on a small scale.

With the promulgation of the relevant birth control policy, banners were hung all over Ers:
"It's good to have five children. The Governor will help you take care of your old age."

"Give birth to one more child, and you will receive more blessings from the Emperor"

"For the future of Ers, let us give birth to more life"

At the same time, state churches everywhere also began to carry out corresponding propaganda and encouragement.

……

And for families with more than five children, Wangting District also offers special encouragement.

The children's mother will be called the Great Mother.

Every year they receive a special audience with the Governor and are given various rewards.

After a series of fertility systems were implemented, Ers experienced a rapid population growth.

It can be said to be thriving.
-
Five years later.

Goli Star Sector, Chak Star.

This is a feudal planet ruled by the local royal family, and its main product is a rare biological material.

At this moment, several city-states on the planet Chak were already a sea of ​​fire, with wailing sounds everywhere.

The Governor's fleet has landed here.

This fleet severely punished the local royal family for being ungrateful.

How dare these people question the legality of the Governor-General's imposition of the tithe!
After punishing the royal family, the fleet plundered all the valuable resources currently stored on the planet Chak.

Afterwards, the fleet commander handed the tax order to the last heir to the royal family.

Chak must provide the corresponding tithe to the governor of the star region.

This is a sacred duty that never ends.

After collecting taxes from Chak, some ships returned to Mattila loaded with people and resources.

The remaining fleet turned around and flew towards the planet Ers.

According to the information, it is a wealthy planet and worth their efforts!
