Chapter 530 06.0529: ‘There is another hidden story’

“Wow! Today is really tiring!”

Horatio collapsed on the soft velvet blanket, not wanting to move at all.

He turned his sweaty face to the side and quietly watched the sun slowly set behind the layers of mountains outside the window.

In order to ensure safety, the officers’ residences are different single-family buildings.

Among them, the ‘Phoenix Building’ is a special residence allocated to Horatio.

This is an ancient building, which is a thirteen-story tower standing on the surface of the ground. On the top of the building, there is a bronze sculpture of a phoenix that dares to chase the sun.

Looking east from the top of the building, you can see steep and rugged mountains that look like they were cut by knives and axes, and on the west side are layers of low peaks and vast lakes.

This is one of the state guest residences specially built by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce to welcome important officials of the empire.

"It's so beautiful, much more beautiful than the residence of Vice Admiral Hood."

Horatio looked at the magnificent sunset, and sighed that the scenery in front of him was not like the style of the Warhammer world.

He stood upright in the triumphal carriage for nearly five hours, driving through 54 blocks, almost running through every prosperous street in the metropolis of Cathay. Now he was sore all over, literally fidgeting.

Alas, it can only be blamed on this civilized world being too "civilized". Although the occupancy rate of Abyss Port is comparable to that of Cathay, it is much more crowded and more like a traditional nest city, leaving no room for so many spacious streets.

On the way, to kill time, he listened to his chief accountant Yin Shuyao talk a lot about Cathay, and learned a lot about this strange and familiar world.

The advanced civilized world of Cathay, which is deeply influenced by the five hundred worlds of Ultramar and has its own civilization style, is different from most worlds of the human empire.

In the symbol of Zhendan civilization, sunlight is sacred, and everyone should be illuminated by the warm sunshine.

Under this guidance, their buildings are evenly scattered on the surface of the entire planet.

The entire planet has been carefully planned by skilled craftsmen, and even pays attention to an architectural style called "Feng Shui".

There is almost no underground residential area on the main planet, which is where the industrial area is located.

The entire surface has been shaped into a livable paradise. Under the tradition of "Five Elements Feng Shui", mountains and rivers are consciously preserved, and people seem to have a special respect for nature.

In Zhendan, all land and housing are allocated.

When a Zhendan person grows up to 18 years old, he can get a house and a piece of land.

The Zhendan authorities hope to use this as a guarantee to encourage this person to be determined to study and study with confidence.

When Zhendan people complete the twelve-year compulsory education, they can choose to enter a higher vocational college or a graduate school for further study, or go out of Zhendan and go to Macragge to study.

His family can use the land allocated by the authorities for production operations, or lease it to other large-scale mechanized agricultural groups, thus ensuring the path to study.

After completing their studies, the people of Zhendan often return to their hometowns because of their strong attachment to their hometowns and bloodlines, or simply because such a place with such generous treatment is rare in the galaxy. They use what they have learned to give back to this land, making this land as civilized and beautiful as Macragge, allowing the elderly and the younger generation to enjoy more generous treatment than they did at the beginning, and providing a better environment for future generations to study in the more distant territories of the human empire.

'Poor in literature, rich in military' is another culture of Zhendan. Because it is classified as a special tax-free world in the Five Hundred Worlds, there is no longer a poor person in the strict sense in Zhendan without the trouble of the Ministry of the Interior's tithe and the proactive rulers. This culture has been interpreted as an alternative rule in Zhendan today:

\u003c/ins\u003e

Zhendan has strict requirements for military service standards - only citizens who have received higher education are eligible to join the Ultramar Auxiliary Army, and the more outstanding ones can be selected into the 'Zhendan Triumphal Army' as elite warriors of the God-Emperor to serve the Empire.

But this is not incomprehensible.

Macragge, the capital of the Ultramarines, and a series of other planets in the Five Hundred Worlds already have a tradition of aristocratic politics. The descendants of the nobility have additional resources, and joining the army is to select the best from the best. Zhendan has simply implemented it more thoroughly and fairly.

The thresholds in physiological function and knowledge and literacy cannot prevent outstanding Zhendan people from joining the army enthusiastically.

In the eyes of the people of Zhendan, if you can't be both civil and military, you'd be embarrassed to say that you're the 'Ultramar Auxiliary Army'. You'd be better off being a hinged shackle that drags you down.

From this, we can see that Zhendan is the pinnacle of the 500 worlds of Ultramar, and a model planet that fits the needs of the Ultramarines and their various groups.

Its unique significance and culture cannot be replicated in the current human empire.

"Excuse me, Captain." The elegant wooden door behind him was opened, and a woman in silver-white power armor stood in front of the door.

"Come in, Sister Arabella." Seeing that it was this nun with the same black and shiny hair, Horatio sincerely expressed his welcome.

"Good day, Captain, in order to promote recuperation, the Zhendan Chamber of Commerce arranged me and Officer Diana to your lower level. I saw you, so I came to say hello to you. I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, how is Officer Diana now?"

"Just out of danger, she's still in hibernation, but she sometimes suffers from nightmares and shouts, I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

"There's no need to worry, Sister." Horatio made a cup of tea for Sister Arabella and welcomed her to the elegant wooden table: "As a member of the Imperial Navy, I can survive the loud noise of the macro cannon firing. Sleeping is nothing.

But speaking of which, why is it that Lieutenant General Alexander Hood is still unconscious but his vital signs are normal? "

"What concerns you, Captain?" Sister Arabella saw clearly.

"You also know that Commissioner Farida Hood has my child. Although the Ministry of Interior can register our genealogical connection, if Lieutenant General Alexander Hood is not awake, I think a very important person will be absent from the wedding. After all... …”

Horatio's expression became serious: "Strictly speaking, my marriage to the Lieutenant General's daughter has not been approved by the Lieutenant General himself. Although he is unconscious, his eldest brother Samuel Hood can definitely The decision is made, but I still hope to get the blessing of the Lieutenant General himself.”

"Lieutenant General Alexander Hood's coma was not actually caused by the explosion. Captain, this is internal information. Please do not reveal this secret to others." Sister Arabella looked around warily, and then whispered.

Horatio put his face close to the nun's and nodded.

"In fact, the lieutenant general's coma is now caused by poisoning."

"Poisoned?"

"Yes, a... complex chronic neurotoxin."

"Can you describe your findings in detail?"

"He may not have been poisoned before the explosion."

"You mean...?!" Horatio opened his eyes in disbelief.
