Chapter 740 184. Waning Moon

【One month later】

【Terra】

A full Terran month has passed since the day when everyone lay on the ground in confusion.

During this period, there may have been a lot of friction or disputes between the Primarch and the Emperor, the Primarch and the Primarch, and the Primarch and mortals, but no matter what, the main theme was always work, work, and overtime.

In controlling the work of others, Guilliman has completely unleashed his own potential.

Hades believes that Guilliman has obviously understood the way of a real slave owner. The work assigned to each original body is just impossible to complete, but it always gives them the illusion that "as long as they work harder, they can complete it in advance." ".

For those Primarchs who are unwilling to work independently, Guilliman uses coercion and inducement - the Empire, the Legion, a certain heir you care about... Of course the Lord of the Empire knows what you care about.

In short, everyone has to work, and work is obviously necessary and necessary.

Of course, Guilliman is not really indifferent. He is well aware of the acceptance of official duties by different Primarchs, so Guilliman has formulated a work plan for each Primarch——

And we have to talk every Monday, constantly check the mental state of the original body, and give vacation or psychological counseling to the original body whose mental state is in danger.

In this regard, the Primarch's mental state was assessed by the unnamed Angron, who was reluctant to work.

In return, Guilliman promised Angron less official duties and more vacation time.

Everyone has been assigned to appropriate positions. Hades is fully responsible for the operation of the Mechanicus and the Hades. He is also the special director of strategic management of the Imperial Construction Department and the general person in charge of the Seventh Bureau of Imperial Construction.

As for what is the Imperial Building Department——

Yes, in order to welcome the new atmosphere and situation of the human empire, Robert Guilliman, the Lord of the Empire, gave a speech on the 22nd, clarifying the empire's next goals, main tasks and work priorities.

Robert Guilliman pointed out that the next priority for the empire is to eliminate the "three aliens" that are hindering the empire's progress and are still raging in the empire's territory and unrecovered territory - alien races, aliens, and heretics.

The Lord of the Empire emphasized that in order to complete this task, the Empire needs to further liberate productivity. Under the leadership of Pluto, the Empire should vigorously apply advanced archaeological technology to practice, and establish as soon as possible an army and people fully armed with physical aspects and imperial spiritual powers. .

As an aside, one day before Robert Guilliman gave his speech, the three religions of the Empire, the Imperial Hades, and the Imperial Mechanicus jointly signed and promulgated the "Identification, Judgment and Qualification Standards for Imperial Psychics (M41)" 》,

This action defines what Imperial psionic power is, why it is used by the Empire, and how psykers who violate it are shot.

Imperial psionic energy refers to psionic energy that conforms to the beliefs of the imperial state religion, or the beliefs of regional legions, or the beliefs of the Mechanicum, and whose power comes from the spiritual energy domain of the subspace emperor and the original body.

Psionics who meet this requirement need to obtain a certificate of approval from the religious bureau related to their faith, and also need to pass the hazard level calibration of Hades. If the hazard level is "medium" and below, they can travel freely within the empire.

After the announcement of this regulation, Magnus, the Grand Master of Imperial Psionics, immediately stated that he and the Gray Knights would be committed to promoting the implementation of a legal and compliant psychic education system so that every psionic person can have books to read and have knowledge. Learning is available to prevent every psyker dedicated to exploring the Warp from going astray.

Although there are also rumors that Magnus scolded Guilliman for being inappropriate, at the same time, Corax, the representative of the Tribunal, seemed to have visited the Red King after that, and seemed to discuss with him the possibility of joining the surveillance system, and was successfully persuaded by Magnus. Nusi cursed out.

This is just one of the many quarrels and arguments that go on behind the scenes because of work.

Not to mention that Sanguinius kicked Conrad directly out of the palace, leaving a human-shaped dent on the outer wall of the palace; Vulkan smashed Mortarion's desk with one punch and many other absurd things.

Ahem, let’s go off topic, let’s continue to focus on the speech of Robert Guilliman, Lord of the Empire.

In order to better liberate and develop productivity, Robert Guilliman realized that the current empire needed a department that could truly unite the strength of the entire empire and devote itself to the field of production and construction, instead of being organized by the Mechanicum and local stars. A small fight organized by the border army and the imperial caravan.

Robert studied and summarized the previous production and construction experience of Pluto, and believed that the Mechanicus alone could not meet the size of the empire. Therefore, after consultation, the Lord of the Empire established the Empire Construction Department.

The original body planned to use the unresuscitated Rogal Dorn and his Imperial Fists as the main force, and specially allocated a legion (Imperial Fists) and two battle groups (Silver Skull, Trident) to unite 21 large-scale Forge the world and devote yourself to mass production construction.

Its goal in the first quarter is to establish a quantum slingshot transportation network covering the entire empire network, guided by Pluto's "Slingshot Theoretical Path and Past Path Fitting".

Once the transportation network is completed, even if there will be a transportation error between a single quantum slingshot, the quantum slingshots in its adjacent star field will make up for this error, and the transportation error will be reduced to about 15%.

With the arrangement of Pluto and the Mechanicum within the empire, this quarterly target plan will be completed within ten years.

In addition, countless advanced technologies have passed the three-party review of the Academy of Athens, the Hades, and the Mechanicus, and have also entered the stage of production, becoming one of the countless small goals of the Empire's Construction Department in the first quarter.

Once the goal of this quarter is completed, according to the calculations of Pluto and Fenus, the Lord of Nirvana, the Empire will smoothly enter a period of explosive economic and military development.

This will be the key to determining the rise and fall of the Empire, so within this month, in addition to communicating with the Primarchs (coercion and inducement).

Guilliman worked in the office with Hades and Fenus, calculating all kinds of data until he was dizzy and dizzy-

The door of the office has been kept open to facilitate the mechanical sages holding various confidential documents and official seals to rush in.

For this, Robert Guilliman sincerely thanked Fenus and Hades. These two made him realize that in addition to the miserable him, there are still people in this empire who are willing to work seriously, desperately and responsibly.

A deep friendship was established, which came from a kind of mutual appreciation after being exploited-although Guilliman forced others to work, he was indeed the one who exploited himself the most.

This will be a wonderful memory in Guilliman's life, although it may not be so wonderful for the other two people-

Fenus has no big emotions about anything and has become a chosen worker.

Hades himself is fine, but the Hades son, Buzz Bella, who came to work with him, fell directly beside Hades' desk after working hard, so Hades had to give this poor man a holiday, and this also awakened Hades's rare conscience. He seemed to squeeze them a little bit.

Because Robert Guilliman himself did not directly connect with various Mechanicus and construction teams, Hades and Finus did not leave their desks for a whole month, and they were actually bored in the office for a month.

Guilliman, on the contrary, used many matters such as "Motarion sent a letter of challenge", "Angron applied for leave", "Neos applied to go out", "Sevatar complained bitterly and hoped to improve the treatment of the Primarchs", etc., to be busy in the palace where the Primarchs returned and were already in chaos.

By the way, after the seven-day contract ended, the Pale Lord Mortarion rushed directly to Guilliman's office, but after seeing the three people with cow-horse faces, he silently took a half step back. After a long silence, the Pale Lord realized that Hades was working overtime voluntarily.

Then, Mortarion invited Guilliman to go out and fight.

And he was happy to get seven days of work again.

Finally, one month later, on a full moon day, Robert Guilliman, who had worked hard for many days and was the great slave owner and the largest slave in the empire, decided to give everyone a day off.

This was a reasonable concession based on the degree of pressure from various official duties, and it was also the result of Angron's persuasion of Guilliman for many days.

Yes, Angron would persuade Guilliman to rest whenever he was free.

So, Guilliman used the excuse of preparing for Rogal Dorn's return to persuade himself and allow himself to take a day off.

【? ! Are you okay, brother! 】

The Lord of Red Sand, who was carrying a plate of dessert, suddenly shouted, and the Primarchs who had already gathered at the open-air balcony of the palace turned around and saw the real cow-horse trio.

Guilliman had a psychic aura bonus, Hades relied on his overwhelming physical fitness, and Finus was completely mechanical, so the three of them still looked like they were at the beginning, without dark circles under their eyes or other byproducts of overtime work -

But the expressions on their faces revealed a strong sense of death, their eyes were dull, and their steps were stiff.

It seemed that they would nod and be willing to rest in peace in the next moment.

Angron was about to go up and use psychic guidance, but Mortarion took a step ahead of him. The Primarch who was lying in the corner and silently releasing poison gas sat up and raised his hand to Hades.

Then Pluto walked over like a zombie and collapsed on the recliner next to the Primarch at the first time.

Karas, who was sitting near Mortarion, laughed loudly. He nodded to Sevatar who was talking to him, and then walked towards Hades' position, ready to launch a taunt.

However, Hades was already snoring, so Karas's taunts were probably ineffective.

Sevatar was staring at Guilliman cautiously. Beside him, Dante, the Blood Angel who had started to reorganize the Legion, was full of sorrow, with dark circles under his eyes that looked like blood dripping. In his hand, he held the blood wine that the Archangel had just poured for him.

[I'm fine, thank you for your concern. ]

Guilliman said, taking the hot tea brought by Angron. He listened to Hades' snoring and wished he could fall asleep right now - but he obviously couldn't do that.

First, Guilliman didn't allow himself to lose his composure like this,

Second, Guilliman knew that his brother might not be so convinced of him, at least not as convinced as he was of Hades, so the necessary etiquette was necessary.

Vulcan also left Magnus, who was talking to him, and walked towards Guilliman, so Guilliman received a generous, warm, and somewhat suffocating hug.

Guilliman looked at Vulkan's smiling face, thinking that the Fire Dragon Lord's army was regrouping, and the Salamanders and their warbands were reorganizing according to Vulkan's will.

Guilliman caught a glimpse of Magnus in his peripheral vision. The Red King stood on the edge of the rooftop with a glass of wine, admiring the moon, but he was reluctant to look at Guilliman. Guilliman knew that Magnus was dissatisfied with his arrangement for the psykers.

But it didn't matter, the rest of the people in the parliament all passed Guilliman's proposal.

[You always hope too much - don't squeeze your body too much. ]

The Fire Dragon Lord said that he was also one of Guilliman's "less work" list. The Fire Dragon Lord was not suitable for government affairs, so Guilliman decided to send Vulkan out to fight, or continue to go back to guard the Webway.

There was also new progress on the webway, and Guilliman's thoughts diverged again, but the premise was to let Hades meet the two Necrons again--

Guilliman still didn't fully understand the matter in this regard, and he needed to figure it out as soon as possible. What made the Primarch a little dissatisfied was that both Hades and the Emperor had too ambiguous attitudes towards some of the Necrons.

[You are thinking about something else again, so you should eat something. ]

Angron's voice pulled Guilliman back. Guilliman blinked a little dazedly, took the food handed over by the Lord of Red Sand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth as a conditioned reflex.

Most of Guilliman's meals during this month were Angron carrying a plate into the office, forcibly interrupting his work with Hades and Finus, and then Hades would automatically take the food, and Guilliman needed Angron to force the food into his hand--

Otherwise Guilliman would never put down the documents in his hand.

In fact, his servants still carefully delivered every meal on time, but Guilliman was mostly obsessed with work at that time, so those meals with a strong Macragge flavor were automatically picked up by Hades.

A strong mint flavor burst out in his mouth, which immediately made Guilliman shudder. The Lord of the Empire looked at Angron hesitantly, but Angron just shrugged in response.

[Don't think about work today. ]

The Lord of Red Sand said that Guilliman's first reaction was that Angron used suggestive psychic persuasion on him. His instinct almost made him subconsciously fight back, but Guilliman successfully suppressed this impulse.

He understood that Angron was kind, and Guilliman didn't need to blame the Lord of Red Sand so much, even though Angron did less work than Conrad Curze.

Apart from anything else, their bat brother who was creeping in the corner really liked to judge others, and the bills that had been backlogged for many years were approved almost overnight.

Of course, Guilliman cleverly arranged for Sanguinius, who was originally unemployed, to watch over Conrad.

So Sanguinius began to work - mainly to reject all the death sentences approved by Conrad.

Finally, Sanguinius, who could no longer bear it, had a big quarrel with Conrad on how to judge. The archangel successfully kicked Conrad out of the desk and picked up the pen.

Sevatar, who witnessed everything silently, decisively put the next batch of documents on Sanguinius's desk. The archangel glanced at Sevatar and buried his head in work.

Corax got a rare vacation. Well, like the Lord of Fire Dragons, the Ravens have been mainly gathering their legions recently.

Just yesterday, Terra received a report from the Sons of Ravens. They seemed to have received some setbacks from a new alien race - Titanium.

This is a small report, only Corax and Guilliman received it, but out of some intuition, Guilliman thought that his beloved son Corax might have to go out recently.

[Wait, I have something to ask you, Guilliman. ]

Angron spoke, and stopped Guilliman who was about to sit down to rest.

【? 】

【Lord of Mankind... I mean where is our father? I haven't seen him recently. 】

Angron asked in a low voice, and he glanced at Sanguinius who had been silently looking at the moon since he arrived, indicating that Archangel Guilliman might care about this.

【He is now on the moon, in the genetic laboratory on the moon. 】

Guilliman said calmly, he realized that Neos seemed to talk to him, but Guilliman was too busy to talk to Neos about those unimportant things, so he sent Neos directly to the moon.

【The job I gave him is to improve the genetic defects of the Space Marines and upgrade the Space Marines again. 】

Relying on the genetic keys preserved by Belisarius and Luther of the First Legion, Guilliman believed that the Lord of Mankind would complete this task--

After all, except for Neos, perhaps no one in the Empire can continue this mission.

In addition, Guilliman himself did not quite agree with the plan proposed by Belisarius before.

As for now... Guilliman silently looked up at the full moon in the sky. The Lord of Mankind was now in a daze, and seemed to be a little sad.

Guilliman accurately sensed this matter. He hoped that Neos was sad for his work, not because of Horus.

Throwing Neos into the genetic laboratory on the moon... Another metaphor is that Guilliman decided to turn a blind eye to Neos's search for Horus.
