Chapter 67, Real or Fake Phoenix?
100 points of grace, in exchange for a seed.
It’s really expensive.
However, the seeds obtained in exchange for 100 points of grace cannot be equated with a Space Marine.
How much is a young, strong, determined, and highly gifted person worth?
How much is it worth to have completed the implant surgery, survived the transformation, and undergone the long and extremely harsh training in the way of the Space Marines?
How much is the power armor on your body, which is specially designed and manufactured for Space Marines and can establish a neural connection with Space Marines, worth?
Gu Hang still prefers to use the system's gift point system to calculate the value.
He has now upgraded twice, to LV3, with a total value of about 70 points of grace. 10 points for activation, 10 points for level 2, and 50 points for level 3. When he reaches level 4, he will get 200 points of grace.
He is no match for any Space Marine right now. He probably needs to wait until he reaches level 4 to tie with an ordinary Space Marine. For veterans like Phoenix, they may need to reach level 5 to fight. And people like Martins, Rizzo priest, and a bald warrior that Gu Hang observed are stronger than the other four veterans.
In this way, it can be roughly considered that a Space Marine is worth about 300 points of grace, and a veteran is worth about 800 points.
If Gu Hang wanted to use the system to create a space warrior from scratch, he would probably have to exchange 100 points for a seed first, and then perform the implantation. If he failed, all 100 points would be wasted. He could only move on to the next step if he could survive.
The new soldier who survived had only hardware conditions but no experience or skills. Gu Hang had to spend at least 111 points of grace to train him to the level of T1 soldiers, and then find a way to get a set of power armor. In this way, he could probably get a standard can.
After completing this process, he would spend at least two hundred grace points. Assuming that the power armor was worth one hundred, it was indeed similar to the price of 300 per can that he had estimated earlier based on his own combat power.
That’s why Gu Hang sighed, it’s so damn expensive!
I've been working here for a few months now, but I don't even know if the total number of gift points I've earned is enough to reach 300 points!
But what stopped Gu Hang, and made him feel a chill in his back as he watched the repeatable branch event of "The Phoenix is about to die" that could be exchanged for gene seeds, was that he was able to quickly realize the major hidden dangers contained in this matter.
If he changed the seed and then met Martins and said that this was my support for them, Martins would definitely not be grateful at all. Instead, he would definitely take out his bolter and force him to tell how he got the gene seed, and then send him to the Inquisition.
There's no point in quibbling, this seed is specially marked as belonging to the Phoenix Regiment.
The gene seeds of each chapter are somewhat different. It may be difficult for outsiders to distinguish, but for them, they can see it at a glance.
How will Gu Hang explain it then?
He couldn't explain it at all.
This is a function that I dare not use.
But soon, another bold idea came to Gu Hang's mind:
"Then can I...take over the magpie's nest?"
When you become rich, you can exchange a bunch of gene seeds, secretly find people, ensure their loyalty, brainwash them with psychic power, secretly implant seeds, and secretly cultivate them. You can also buy armor secretly from certain forging worlds.
When the strength accumulated is enough, the whole Hongmen Banquet is held, with the cup-smashing as a signal. The seven real phoenixes are surrounded by the seventy fake phoenixes trained by Gu Hang. After they are killed, the real phoenixes will belong to me, Gu Hang, from now on!
"Population replacement plan? Uh... this is too bad..."
Gu Hang shook his head and put the thought aside.
Am I, Governor Gu, the kind of person who would harm my allies?
What's more, this matter is easier said than done now, but it is still very troublesome to do it, as there are so many details to deal with.
Let’s talk about it later.
Anyway, we can’t afford such high-end troops now.
…
The Governor's Government of the Angry Owl Star and the Phoenix Legion became informal allies from then on.
It was said to be informal because they had not signed any specific agreement and it was not written down. However, the Phoenix War Group promised that if Governor Gu had any trouble, they could send them a mission invitation. And they would accept the invitation and carry out the mission according to the requirements, depending on the situation.
In principle, they are free to do anything except for the Governor's mission invitation. However, they'd better inform the Governor before doing anything to respect the Governor's rule over the entire planet.
The Governor is also obliged to provide them with a base and supplies on the planet, and to continue to pay for the necessary assistance for the reconstruction of the chapter within the Governor's affordability.
In fact, this kind of reconstruction assistance has already begun.
The first is ammunition supply.
Wu Jiarong received a request from the Governor and she had to start producing bullets for the grenade launcher.
This is difficult, as the current industrial base of Angry Owl is completely unable to produce it.
Diamond warheads, secondary fire propulsion, mass reaction fuzes, secondary explosion characteristics...
It can both penetrate armor and explode, so this thing requires very high craftsmanship.
If she really wants to do it, it's not impossible. She has to rub it one by one by hand. The mechanical arm modified on her body can complete this task. The junior technicians under her may be able to do the whole workbench carelessly.
The output is impressive.
Moreover, letting her, the "technical leader" in the Governor's camp, spend a lot of time doing the work of rubbing bullets by hand is obviously a waste of talent and will also affect the development of Gu Hang's territory.
But after all, it is a way of replenishment.
Later, Wu Jiarong also moved some equipment from the Phoenix Regiment's spaceship, the Burning Feather, and studied how to achieve quantitative production, so that at least her junior technicians could take over this job.
In addition, there is the maintenance of power armor, and currently only Wu Jiarong can do this job. Don't make it too bad, just do some minor repairs, and she, a technical specialist, can barely do it.
In fact, the maintenance of the regiment's equipment is usually the responsibility of the technical sergeant. Phoenix's former technical sergeant went to Mars, the headquarters of the Mechanicus, for further training. His level is even higher than that of the average technical priest.
But what can we do?
Just bear with it under these conditions.
Reconstruction is not an easy task, it requires hard work!
However, on the other hand, Governor Gu's efforts in rebuilding the regiment were recognized.
A special engineering team was formed to build a monastery far away from the camp.
The Space Marines call themselves the descendants of the Emperor and the Emperor's Angels of Death. They have always considered themselves to be the most staunch believers in the Emperor in the Empire. They are a military organization, but they are also a religious organization. Many Space Marine chapters call their headquarters "Fortress Monastery".
The construction site, which has already started, has also attracted Phoenix warriors to visit.
They all couldn't help but think of the regiment's former headquarters on the home planet.
The present one is totally different from the one back then.
But at least, this is a good start and the chapter is on the right track.
The next day, the seven Phoenix warriors left the houses that the governor had arranged for them and moved directly next to the monastery construction site.
They were going to see this monastery built from scratch.
