Chapter 1009, the prize pool is dry
Gu Hang has been in a good mood for quite some time recently.
Although there were still many things to do, especially after becoming the Chancellor of the Empire—and a centralized Chancellor at that—he faced even more work than before. However, thanks to the increasingly mature Union Government and the assistance of the New Imperial Government, everything was running smoothly.
What made him happiest was that the scarlet scar was getting smaller.
What is the thing that has the greatest impact on the empire now?
There is no doubt that it is this scarlet scar.
Communications and transportation, the two most important things for governance, were deeply affected by the Scarlet Scar.
And if the scarlet scar is repaired, the difficulty of the empire's current expedition will be greatly reduced!
Even, to some extent, the expedition may turn into a quick armed march.
Many of the worlds today are not actually corrupted by Chaos, or conquered by rebels or aliens. They have simply lost contact with the imperial central government for decades or even hundreds of years, and then began to seek independence.
This is perfectly normal.
If we calculate a hundred years, that's five generations. Unless someone has undergone life-extending surgery, no one living on the entire planet has ever heard the voice of the Empire. To them, the so-called Human Empire is just a page in the historical record, something only their grandfathers, or even their grandfathers' grandfathers, had seen.
Furthermore, these oral traditions and historical records don't necessarily portray the Empire as a positive one; it's likely a regime that exploits the local population. If the corruption within the local planet isn't severe, the alien threat isn't serious, and the planet doesn't crave the Empire's military protection, then they'll naturally have strong separatist tendencies.
But if the Scarlet Scar disappeared, the voice of the Empire could be clearly transmitted to every world; and voyages to these worlds would not be so dangerous due to the obstruction of the waves of the Warp, and it would not be necessary to install the Thunder Torch Tower world by world, so many places could be conquered by a single order.
Even if there are really many big problems in the world, as long as there are survivors, the expeditionary force can confirm the specific situation in the area based on the information sent by the locals, and then decide how many troops to send to solve the problem, and the efficiency will be greatly increased.
Furthermore, the weakening of the Crimson Scar will also lessen the impact of the Warp's waves on the real universe. This will make it less likely that Chaos corruption can erode reality. Not only will demons be much more difficult to manifest, but people will also be less likely to hear unwanted whispers. The dark thoughts that once occurred to normal people will be reduced to mere thoughts, less likely to be captured by evil gods and catalyzed into the corruption of the soul, thus reducing the likelihood of cults developing.
All in all, the weakening of the scars is a good thing, marking the end of the disaster.
However, at present, we can only say that there are signs of weakening, and the degree of weakening is far from reaching the level that will produce changes.
Gu Hang wished that the scarlet scar would heal by tomorrow, but unfortunately, he could not help much in this matter.
We can only let the old emperor be busy.
When it comes to reducing the scarlet scars, he is still the main force.
Gu Hang's main focus is still on the real universe.
Part of it, of course, is to protect the country with one's own body and reduce the erosion of the subspace on the real universe - commonly known as "going to jail".
The other part is that as the de facto governor of the new empire, Gu Hang has a lot of work to do.
Even though the new imperial government could give him a considerable amount of work, there were some things that could not be handed over to others and he had to do them himself.
For example, some major and overall directional matters definitely require Gu Hang as the leader of the imperial government to make decisions. As the Prime Minister of the Alliance and the Prime Minister of the Imperial Executive Council, Ossena is of course a high-ranking official of the empire, but she cannot decide some of the biggest things on her own.
Another aspect is the consumption of grace points.
No one can help him with this.
For a long time, Gu Hang's gift points, especially the main expenditure, were actually on the lottery of the technology pool. Spending on technology was not a big deal - as long as there was hope.
After all, whether or not to ship goods can not be achieved by just thinking.
The most important thing to think about is after the technology lottery is over.
How to use the technological awards received and how to arrange new industries are quite difficult to think about.
However, as time went by, in recent decades, Gu Hang no longer put many grace points into the technology pool lottery.
What a waste.
The main reason is that the technology pool has been drained and the rate of return is very low.
At this point, Gu Hang had a general understanding of the nature of the entire system. The technology and black boxes that could be extracted from the system were not created out of thin air. They were basically technologies that had appeared in the history of the empire.
Even if Gu Hang's gift points were used up to the maximum, he could only draw at the 100 million gift point level, no higher. But even if he drew at the 100 million gift point level, there was nothing good to be drawn now.
They always pull out some elite and ordinary-level technologies, and most of them are already owned, just with different models.
The value of these drawn items is quite limited, at least not the same as the hundreds of millions of grace points consumed for one draw.
Of course, there are still some high-level rewards in the prize pool, but the probability has become too low and it is very difficult to draw them out.
Therefore, in the past few decades, Gu Hang's grace points were mainly spent on other places.
Talent enlightenment, military construction, building exchange... these things actually directly bring about a huge increase in the strength of the alliance, which is much greater than drawing from the already drained prize pool.
And all of this requires Gu Hang to spend a lot of effort.
The relevant data was provided by the government. However, this was only part of the basis. Gu Hang could also see a lot of data in the settlement interface of the gift points.
The data in these two parts have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The data submitted by government departments are rich and cover many categories. If there is any data that Gu Hang wants, he can make a request at any time, and the government departments will definitely give it to him.
But the problem is that the data may be distorted or even wrong.
The data in the system is completely accurate, but the content is too limited.
The combination of the two provides Gu Hang with a way to make decisions on where to spend the gift points.
