I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

In Epimetheus, within the Royal Ward, Lee woke up bathed in the light of dawn.

Since the Nidleaven family was annihilated by the Imperial Guard, several other star sectors suspected of harboring the Bone Drinker plague have received the "attention" of the Imperial Guard.

The sector governor was deposed, the sector governor's family was destroyed, but the rebellions within the sector did not subside.

As time passed, long-suppressed conflicts were exposed with the defeat of the sector governor.

Lady Shatana has compiled statistics showing that, to date, rebellions have occurred in 112 Imperial worlds.

Half of these Imperial worlds are located in the Nidleaven sector, with the remainder scattered across various sectors suspected of harboring Bone Drinkers.

The direct losses caused by this have exceeded 30 trillion Throne Gelt.

What is most troubling to the Department of Internal Affairs is that the rebellions have indirectly caused approximately 15 trillion Throne Gelt in unpaid material taxes.

Who will make up for so much material tax has become the most pressing issue for the Imperial Department of Internal Affairs and the Prime Minister.

A proposal from the Imperial Department of Internal Affairs has thus come into the sight of the governors.

...

To All Governors of Imperial Worlds within the Solar System:

As you all know, individual star sectors of the Empire have recently experienced successive rebellions, posing a severe challenge to the stability and prosperity of the Empire.

In the name of the Emperor, quelling the rebellion and rebuilding our homes is of utmost urgency.

We encourage all of you to contribute generously according to your own circumstances, providing assistance within your capabilities to the Imperial subjects in the rebellious areas.

The rebellions in some Imperial worlds have begun to subside, but remnant forces may still pose a threat to the reconstruction of the disaster areas. At the same time, post-disaster reconstruction work also requires a large amount of manpower.

Therefore, for lords who are unable to provide material assistance, we hope that you can provide population resources and armed personnel to maintain security in the disaster areas.

We are well aware that both contributing funds and contributing manpower are significant sacrifices for all of you lords.

We will keep records of all donors and give commendations and substantial rewards on appropriate occasions.

The future of the Empire depends on the efforts of each and every one of us.

We look forward to the active response of all lords!

Imperial Prime Minister Macardo, Imperial Minister of Internal Affairs Locardi, respectfully.

...

This stellar communication, issued by the Stellar Court of Terra, was delivered to the hands of the lords of various Imperial worlds in the Solar System within a few days.

Inside the vast governor's office, Lee, Voges, and Tido were discussing the matter of donations.

The three reached a consensus: to donate to the best of their ability.

This was not purely out of kindness, nor purely because of so-called loyalty, but based on Voges's early experiences.

About 150 years ago, when Voges had just taken office as the governor of the hive city, he encountered a similar situation.

At that time, the Far East Star Sector experienced a large-scale rebellion, with a total of more than 300 Imperial worlds experiencing rebellions, which lasted for two and a half years before being completely quelled.

At that time, the Imperial Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs also called on the lords of the Solar System to donate.

At that time, Voges was young and inexperienced, and only donated a token amount.

After the rebellion was quelled, the Imperial Prime Minister issued a list of rewards, and Voges regretted it immensely.

The more you donated, the more generous the rewards.

The lord who donated the most received a warrant of trade from the Rogue Trader, becoming a true high-ranking nobleman in one fell swoop, with a status far above that of the governor.

The lords who donated from second to one hundredth place could incorporate the Imperial worlds they were responsible for rebuilding into their own names.

The lords who donated from one hundred and first to two hundredth place received second-hand warships as rewards.

Voges's ranking that year was more than five hundredth, and he did not receive any substantial rewards, only a letter of commendation with the personal signature of Imperial Prime Minister Macardo.

This incident became a knot in Voges's heart.

Now, he finally has the opportunity to untie this knot.

Since his father-in-law intends to take his career a step further, Lee will naturally contribute a portion of his strength.

"Tido, how much net profit do we have available from this year's starch industry?"

Tido blurted out a string of numbers without thinking:

"Isabel's side has 5 million to 15 million tons of synthetic starch available each month, and the closer it gets to the end of the year, the more starch is available. The quantity on my side is three times that of Isabel. The two of us together have 20 million to 60 million tons of synthetic starch available each month."

Tido paused and added:

"Based on a consumption of 5 kilograms of starch per person per month, we can support a population of 4 billion to 12 billion each month. Similarly, the closer it gets to the end of the year, the more fully starch production is released, and the more people we can support."

Lee pondered and said:

"In that case, we should be able to sponsor a small hive city or an Imperial world with a population of no more than 12 billion. What do you think, Dad?"

Voges held his pipe and pressed a button on the keyboard.

The holographic device was activated, projecting a planet onto the table between the three.

"I think we can apply to the Department of Internal Affairs to rebuild this planet." Voges took a puff of his pipe, exhaled smoke towards the holographic image in mid-air, and said in a steady tone:

"This is a mining world located in the Hovedi sector in the east-central part of the Nebulous Expanse. The main mineral resources are solid promethium, iron, copper, nickel, and precious metals."

"According to the Mechanicus's exploration report half a year ago, the progress of mineral resource exploitation on the planet is less than 15%. That is to say, there are still 85% of the mineral resources underground that can be exploited, with an estimated total value of 15 trillion Throne Gelt. Before the rebellion, its total population was 7 billion, and now it is estimated to be only 3 billion."

The planet's name is Granit V, the 5th planet in the Granit star system.

The planet's ordinal number is determined by the distance between the planet and the star; the closer it is to the star, the earlier the ordinal number.

Granit V alone constitutes a mining world. The planet's governor has been confirmed dead, and his planetary defense force has also been completely wiped out.

Now controlling this planet is a rebel army composed of local miners and criminals.

Conservatively estimated, the number of armed personnel in the rebel army is about 30 million, and the rest of the population on the planet are ordinary people without weapons and equipment.

The plight of these ordinary people is extremely miserable.

Mining worlds only produce mineral resources and do not produce food.

The rebels are people and cannot eat stones and iron blocks, so the source of their food goes without saying; those who understand will understand.

Lee knew that Voges chose the mining world as the object of sponsorship for his own sake.

Because according to his own plan, the future Epimetheus will embark on a path where the starch industry and the promethium industry go hand in hand.

Promethium ore is essential on this path.

If Granit V is allocated to his side by Macardo, then the future path of Epimetheus can be described as smooth sailing.

Tido understood her father's intention and couldn't help but worry and said:

"But, Dad, there are still many rebels on the planet. It may not be enough for us to bring this planet under our name just by sponsoring them with starch."

"Yes, child, I know that." Voges took a deep breath, "So, I plan to lead Epimetheus's planetary defense force to suppress the rebellion and seize control of this planet as soon as possible."

"That's too dangerous." Tido pursed her lips tightly, her brow furrowed with worry.

Voges smiled kindly:

"Don't worry, child, I will take Delton with me and let him command the battle. Other than staying in the base to oversee the situation, I won't go anywhere else."

If Delton is taken, who will be responsible for the affairs of the intelligence agents?... Lee secretly considered the candidates.

Voges noticed the change in Lee's expression and said with a smile:

"Lee, Delton has praised your talent in the intelligence agent business in front of me more than once. The measures you have taken to prevent the Bone Drinkers from infiltrating the hive city are effective, practical, and easy to implement, and you are also from an intelligence agent background. I think you can perfectly take on the command of the intelligence agents."

Lee checked his schedule in his mind and nodded in response:

"Okay, Dad. When do you plan to leave?"

Gathering manpower, mobilizing ships, and loading supplies cannot be completed in less than ten and a half days.

Also, the planetary defense force needs to obtain approval and authorization from the Department of Military Affairs to leave its territory.

Only after the manpower and weapons and equipment are registered can they be reported to the Department of Military Affairs for approval.

According to the operating efficiency of the Human Empire, the approval process may be delayed for about half a month.

Voges estimated the schedule and estimated that it would take at least a month before he could set off for Granit V.

This month will be just enough time for Lee to familiarize himself with the work of the intelligence agent leader.

In addition, Voges is currently responsible for managing the Voges family's business.

The Voges family's contribution to the total material tax accounts for one-third of the total material tax of Hive City.

This part of the work will be undertaken by Tido, which is undoubtedly a test for her.

She may not have time to freeload dinner at Leeno's place in the future, let alone chat and relax with Leeno after dinner.

Opening her eyes every morning and being busy until one or two in the morning will become the norm.

Tido looked tragic, but for the future of Hive City, she had to shoulder this heavy burden.

Leeno is optimistic about this.

He has a way to help Tido reduce the burden, and it is a great burden reduction, making the other party more relaxed than now.

Before time-traveling, Leeno often heard that governors, heads of imperial departments, high lords of Terra, and others died of overwork in their posts.

After time-traveling, Leeno knew what was going on.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Four-fifths of the daily workload is highly repetitive work, and it cannot be replaced by intelligent devices, so it's no wonder they die of overwork.

Taking the daily work of the synthetic starch industry—calculating the daily production and sales situation—as an example.

In the information society before time-traveling, inputting the collected production data and sales data into an Excel spreadsheet could automatically calculate the daily production and sales situation using the formulas in the spreadsheet.

Calculation results below the threshold are marked in red, and calculation results above the threshold are presented in blue, so that you can directly see whether the daily production and sales situation meets the planned arrangements.

You can't do this in this damn Warhammer world.

Calculating data is allowed.

Logical judgment is not allowed.

The Machine God believes that when machines simultaneously master the power of calculation and logical judgment, the tragedy of the Iron Men rebellion may be repeated.

Therefore, all work involving logical judgment must be completed by a cogitator or a logic engine produced by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

The logical judgment speed of the cogitator is relatively slow, similar to the computers of the 1970s and 1980s before time-traveling.

Also, don't forget to appease the machine spirit, otherwise our lovely machines will go on strike.

Leeno's comment on this is:

The Machine God is purely asking for trouble.

They can't control the machines they make, so they blame it on the machine spirit.

In comparison, High Tech-Priest Collier Jersey is more like-minded with Leeno.

Jersey does not believe that the Emperor is the incarnation of the Omnissiah and denies the existence of the machine spirit.

The mechanical devices she manufactures do not need to appease the so-called machine spirit, and they all work well.

Not only her, but the mechanical devices manufactured by her students also do not need to sing hymns or smear holy oil, and they still work dutifully.

Those Tech-Priests who believe in the machine spirit are simply looking for excuses for their carelessness.

They would rather use the "believe it exists" characteristic of the Warp, creating machine spirits through acts of faith to let the machine spirits adjust the machines themselves, than carefully tighten every screw.

This erroneous idea of trying to replace hard inspection with faith is the crux of the Adeptus Mechanicus. (Note 1)

Anyway, every machine in Leeno's own laboratory is maintained and serviced by him personally. No Tech-Priest or servitor has ever helped him, and there hasn't been a single problem so far.

This is enough to show that the so-called machine spirit can completely not exist.

After Voges left, Leeno asked Tido to use the calculation device in his office to handle official business.

This thing has extremely strong logical computing power, and its performance is close to the logic engines of the Mechanicus sages.

In the future, Tido will finish a day's work in one hour, and spend the rest of the time reading, recharging, exercising, and taking care of herself, so that she can experience what automated office work is like.

In the blink of an eye, most of the day was spent discussing sponsorship matters.

Later that day, the three tentatively finalized the plan, and would adjust it according to the actual situation while implementing the plan.

Voges convened a meeting of supervisors the next day, asking the supervisors of various important departments to closely cooperate with Leeno and Tido's work.

Delton invited Leeno to the agent base after receiving the news.

He provided Leeno with a key card, which stored the agreement data of the agent base.

Only by using the key card together with Leeno's own genetic code, iris, voiceprint, biometric identification code, and other identity information can the use permission of the base's cogitator array be unlocked.

While Leeno was familiarizing himself with the new permissions on the cogitator array, Delton suddenly said:

"When I'm not around, Amy is entrusted to you."

Leeno was stunned, turned his head, and blinked in confusion:

"Amy should still be in school, right?"

"Yes, she is still in school." Delton rarely revealed a trace of melancholy:

"As you probably know, I am not actually Maltz himself. The other people in the Maltz family have no blood relationship with me, only Amy is my own flesh and blood."

Every head of the Maltz family is the head of the Epimethian agents, except for Delton.

The Governor's database records that the previous head of the Maltz family died in an assassination before leaving offspring.

Voges sensed the undercurrents in Hive City and applied to the Terra Progena for support.

The person assigned by the Progena to serve as the head of the agents was Delton, a retired officer who had served as a commander in a certain regiment.

In order to conceal Delton's true identity, Delton appeared as the illegitimate son of the previous head of the Maltz family, became the head of the Maltz family, and succeeded to the position of head of agents.

Leeno thought and replied:

"I have seen your information with the Governor's permission. I know that Amy was not born through natural reproduction. She comes from the amniotic tank of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and was transformed from your genetic template and bloodline. She has no mother, only you as a relative. Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"With your words, I have no worries." Delton smiled with relief, seemingly completely assured of Leeno.

Leeno didn't take it seriously and casually asked:

"Do you think Amy can handle the job of head of agents?"

Delton restrained his smile, thought seriously, and gave the answer after a long time:

"If you want her to become your future head of agents, I think she can handle it, and be as good as me."

Leeno asked:

"Is it because she inherited your genetic template? If your template is used as a benchmark for comparison, what is her genetic purity?"

"At least 97%."

"So high? Doesn't that mean that you father and daughter are very similar in other places except for gender and age?"

"Yes, you can think that way." A light of memory appeared in Delton's eyes:

"To be honest, I'm a little looking forward to the scene of Amy working hard to become the head of agents. I used to be very naughty and liked to tease my father's Custodes…"

"Custodes?" Leeno felt strange and subconsciously thought of the Emperor's Custodes.

"My true identity is the son of a lord in a city on Terra. The lords on Terra worship the Emperor, so they privately call their guards Custodes. You should be able to understand the connotation of this approach."

"Oh~ I understand, I understand."

Leeno and Delton smiled at each other.

Delton continued:

"I always felt that my father's Custodes could not perfectly protect my father, so I often played the role of an assassin, infiltrating my father's palace and searching for loopholes in the Custodes' defenses. Any Custodes who were careless would be taught a lesson by me. At first, my father thought I was teasing the Custodes, but later he gradually recognized my approach and handed over the work of managing the Custodes and defending the palace to me. That was my childhood."

"Sounds interesting." As a Warhammer enthusiast, Leeno didn't think there was anything wrong with the story Delton told:

"I'm also a little looking forward to the scene of Amy working hard to serve as the head of agents. She might be like you, severely teaching those lax agents a lesson."

"She will." Delton nodded slightly.

Leeno raised his index finger:

"Then I'll give her a permission and an identity, so that she can keep an eye on the agents for me when I'm busy."

Delton's eyes showed anticipation, as if he saw his daughter's future appearance:

"No problem. As long as you give her a little time and let the instincts in the genetic template play out, she will definitely become the best agent."

"It's a deal."

Leeno stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Delton.
