MTLNOVEL Chapter 158: 270
Chapter 270 Tianji Project
Gao Yi looked at the ascending talents coming from the stars one by one.
You can choose an ascension talent for free, and the next ascension talent only costs 1,000 points, so Gao Yi doesn't need to be so cautious in choosing the ascension talent.
With the current cohesion, it only takes one month to point out the next ascension talent.
The four types of Genetic Reshaping, Flesh and Blood Weakness, Synthetic Evolution, and Mind over Matter are not yet available for selection, while some of the original Ascension talents in the game have also undergone some changes to adapt to the Warhammer world.
Option gains such as fleet capacity, diplomatic weight, empire size, and increasing the number of envoys and scientific officers are no longer available. Gao Yi will not be subject to the same restrictions in reality as in the game.
There will be no additional maintenance costs due to too many battleships or too many scientific officers, nor will there be any penalties in the damage mechanism due to the size of the empire.
This is a buff, but at the same time the buffs that reduce construction costs into this category also don't apply to the Warhammer world.
Before making the choice of ascension talent, Gao Yi first checked other interfaces. The first one was the leader interface. The candidate for chief scientific officer was Pavian.
In addition to Pavian, Gao Yi also saw that many important figures under his command also appeared among them.
Rebecca, Will, Ian, Damon, Artanis, and Kerrigan.
Artanis and Kerrigan are both shown as famous heroes in the system, but unexpectedly, Rebecca is also a hero, which also surprised Gao Yi.
It seems that it makes sense for Rebecca to take charge of the entire Mongret dynasty's political affairs.
Although Gao Yi strengthened it with divine machinery, as the territory of the Monget Dynasty grew, Rebecca still managed the affairs of the dynasty in an orderly manner, which shows her outstanding ability.
In comparison, Will is absolutely excellent as a general manager, but it is indeed a bit difficult for him to manage the entire dynasty.
Fortunately, Will also knows his own abilities. There is no intrigue among the top powers of the Monget Dynasty, and everyone does their job within their capabilities.
As he continued to scroll down, Gao Yi also saw Cawl, Guilliman and Ferrus.
These three are also legendary characters at the maximum level, but the character panels of these three people are still in an unselectable state.
And Kohl has a series of enhanced characteristics. The three scientific and technological directions of engineering, physics, and society have a 15% bonus on scientific research speed.
The guy who lived for ten thousand years did not live in vain. During these ten thousand years, Kohl accumulated unimaginable knowledge in all aspects. If Kohl could serve as the chief scientist of the dynasty, he could reduce a lot of resource consumption and time for Gao Yi.
The cooperation that was previously agreed upon with Kaul also allowed Gao Yi to enter into an employment relationship with him.
As Gao Yi checked the science panel again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the panel not only had a few starting technologies like in the game, but also the later technology options were directly displayed in it.
However, it is still necessary to develop relevant prerequisite technologies before unlocking it.
However, Gao Yi also discovered that some advanced technologies were actually shown as unlocked, such as the cold fusion core.
Interstellar combat suits have cold fusion core technology. For example, the servo systems in combat suits and other interstellar vehicles can also be used as substitutes for intelligent computer technology.
This is also a kind of primary artificial intelligence. If we continue to make technological breakthroughs, we can develop real artificial intelligence. Kaul himself is also secretly researching artificial intelligence. Gao Yi feels that after he has truly reached an employment relationship with Kaul, he can develop fewer technologies and save some technology points.
This essentially identical or similar technology was directly added to the original technology tree of Stellaris.
The same is true for some basic technologies in the Warhammer world. For example, the cloning capsule that Gao Yi currently has for cloning soldiers can also be found in the technology tree.
Furthermore, not only can research points be used to unlock specific technologies in Stellaris, but the technologies currently possessed by Dynasty that have not yet been reverse engineered can also be forcibly cracked through the use of technology points without the existence of research barriers.
Just like in the game, you can steal related technology by investigating the wreckage of the enemy's warship.
[Interstellar Jump Engine] [Physical Technology Points: 30,000]
[Eldar Warship Holographic Phantom Force Field] [Physical Technology Points: 30000]
[Antimatter Matrix] [Physical Points: 40000]
"Can interstellar jump engines be developed by directly consuming technology points?! Blackstone technology is also included?!"
Gao Yi still remembered that the jump engine among the stars required a lot of prerequisite technologies to be developed, and because the interstellar battleship had this technology, Gao Yi could directly use technology points to forcibly break through its technical difficulties.
Go beyond those advanced technologies.
This means that it has become a foregone conclusion that Gao Yi possesses the manufacturing technology for the jump engine. There is no need to worry about the failure of the reverse engineering. All Gao Yi needs is time.
Warp Drive is also a rare technology in Stellaris.
Not just Human technology, but also Eldar and Necrons technology can be reverse engineered.
Looking at the technological points required to create a jump engine stealth force field, Gao Yi calculated that it would take another six years to break through.
It will take even longer to exorcise the dead.
Four years is a very short time in the Warhammer world, and it can even be said to be incredibly fast to crack these technologies in four years.
After all, Gao Yi himself has been in this world for quite some time. Even with all the strength of the Holy Mechanic Order, he has only been able to relocate the jump engine, and has no idea how to manufacture it.
But Gao Yi couldn't wait. He was only 20 years old before he traveled through time. Four years was already a very long time in Gao Yi's concept. He was completely different from those old guys in Warhammer who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
This made Gao Yi more and more eager to expand his power. Only more scientific research points could allow Gao Yi to achieve technological breakthroughs faster.
Looking at the dazzling array of technologies in the technology interface, each of which requires a large amount of technology points. Now Gao Yi can only look at them but does not have enough points, which makes him itchy.
Gao Yi temporarily closed the technology page. He needed some time to study carefully how to choose the order in which to unlock technology.
Looking at the many talents for ascension, Gao Yi did not directly rely on the first free unlock of the Creation of the Universe or the Star Sea Punishment.
After the former is unlocked, you still need to spend technology points to develop the synaptic condenser first. The technology points consumption of this thing is no less than that of the jump engine. After the research and development is completed, it will take time to build it. The latter does not mean that you can directly build the ether phase engine.
Gao Yi doesn't have a month to spare, so he might as well choose an ascension talent that can produce immediate effects as his first ascension talent.
After a period of struggle, Gao Yi finally set his sights on the two ascension talents.
The effects of these two ascension talents are the most direct, and Gao Yi believes that they are the most helpful to him now.
The first one.
[Technology first: Those black technologies that were once indistinguishable from magic are now within reach, and a new era of technology has arrived]
[Research speed +10%, the probability of rare technology appearing increased by 1.5 times]
Looking at the introduction, it is very simple and crude. It seems that the improvement is only 10%, but it is not small.
The points saved are enough for Gao Yi to choose another technology.
The research of cutting-edge technology takes a long time, and the longer it takes, the more significant the reduction this 10% can provide, which can save Gao Yi a lot of scientific points and time.
Technology is important to Gao Yi, but it is not so important at the moment. Even if 10% is saved, it will still take years.
The fact that it would have taken up a lot of time made Gao Yi's need for it not so urgent all of a sudden. Moreover, with Kaul working for him, his own research acceleration ability could allow Gao Yi to put this ascension talent aside for the time being.
Moreover, it is imperative to develop the synaptic condenser next. There is a conflict between the two. The synaptic condenser can provide a much faster speed bonus for technological research and development.
Judging from the system's past performance, the cohesion required to subsequently point out the ascension talents will definitely increase. The second one will be one thousand, the next one will be ten thousand, and the next one may be one hundred thousand.
It would be a bit of a loss to use a precious ascension quota to choose technology supremacy.
Instead of loading the results now and still spending a lot of time on hard work in technology, it is better to wait until you have a greater power and more technology points before conducting research.
Finally, Gao Yi looked at another ascension talent that he had his eyes on.
[Tianji Engineering: Technology is not a rigid knowledge that can be explained once mentioned, but a product of our extraordinary transcendence. Ordinary people cannot understand our progress at all! ]
[The attempt to steal technology from us will automatically fail]
[The wreckage of our destroyed warships cannot be studied by other hostile forces]
[Small chance to obtain Lost Empire building technology]
The introduction of Tianji Engineering is also very impressive.
Looking at the effects of the Tianji Project, Gao Yi felt that this was the ascension talent that could allow him to gain immediate benefits.
Regardless of the series of interstellar technologies that Gao Yi currently possesses, this ascension talent can also ensure that after the development of the star technology, it will not be reversely researched by other forces.
Especially those Necrons, their technology and research and development capabilities are not low. Once the war starts, there will always be armed equipment falling into their hands. If they are cracked, Gao Yi does not want to see them fall into a quagmire of tug-of-war.
The main reason why Gao Yi chose this ascension talent with such confidence was due to some special circumstances within the expansion area.
That is, the orc pirates roaming around in the expansion area also began to show some abnormal changes, and the orcs' waaagh stance began to exert its idealistic and outrageous effect again.
The characteristics of the orcs as a race make it impossible to completely wipe them out in the entire expansion area.
Even though the crackdown on these space pirates has been increasing, they always appear from unexpected places.
The existing strength of the Expanse Orcs cannot pose a real threat to the dynasty, and it has been a long time since the greenskins have broken through a planet or destroyed a fleet within the Gaoyi Alliance. However, in some fringe star systems and the entire main fleet of the jump engines manufactured by the starports, they have not yet had the luxury to migrate to freight ships or caravans.
Trade ships traveling between galaxies and dynasties are still occasionally looted by these greenskins.
And within the expanded area, it is not just Gao Yi's Traveling Merchants and Rogue Alliance that trades in combat uniforms and other interstellar equipment; the trade has spread to different official combat units of the expanded empire.
Although it was difficult for the greenskins to win when fighting against trading ships or official imperial forces, they still stripped the combat uniforms from the bodies of fallen human soldiers when retreating, and were able to win small-scale battles by relying on numbers.
This is almost an unavoidable situation, but no one took it seriously at the beginning. The warships in the void cannot ensure that every combat uniform will be recycled after the war.
After a while, some orc troops wearing combat uniforms made of various scraps began to appear in the expansion area.
The effect of the seemingly tattered armor is actually no less than that of Gao Yi's trading version of the combat suit.
It goes without saying that these greenskins have used my ideas to replicate the combat uniforms in their own way, which has greatly increased the threat these greenskins pose to the expansion zone.
There have even begun to appear large groups of greenskins wearing orc-style combat uniforms to attack some marginal planets.
Even the weakly defended marginal planets began to lose to these special orcs.
The orc clan that first came up with the idea of developing combat uniforms has begun to integrate the orc forces in the expanded area.
More and more young technicians gathered together, making my thinking power stronger and stronger, and there seemed to be a tendency for them to gather into a huge waaagh.
Not only the combat uniforms, but other interstellar technologies also show signs of being cracked, such as the orcs' tattered Thor, or the tattered orc fighter jets with stealth force fields.
Once a Gorgon is destroyed and taken away by the greenskins, or if they somehow obtain a jump engine, perhaps these greenskins will have the ability to truly create mechanical creatures before Gao Yi.
When Gao Yi obtained the Star Pioneer, didn't he rely on the thinking power of that group of orc technicians to successfully bring the Star Pioneer back to the dynasty?
Gao Yi doesn't want everything he does to become a wedding dress for these greenskins.
Given the nature of Warhammer's idealism, God knows what kind of trouble these greenskins can come up with.
If we follow the system's usual priority in terms of rules, Gao Yi believes that the effect of the Tianji Project will definitely have a restraining effect on the greenskins.
If you are an idealist, then I will use the golden finger to play with you!
Gao Yi knew that he could no longer allow these orcs to grow stronger. He did not want to face such a large orc waaagh. There was no benefit at all in a war with this group of orcs.
Cleaning up the spores they scattered is also a big task.
And the last building of the Lost Empire can also provide some help to Gao Yi.
Some of these specific buildings can even create resources out of thin air after being unlocked.
However, this bonus is not as good as other effects.
"I've chosen you! Unlock the Scourge next! A month will go by very quickly, and it should be ready once the trip to Terra is over!"
Having made the decision, Gao Yi immediately chose Tianji Engineering.
[Ascension Talent Selected]
[Successfully loaded Tianji Project]
[Effect has taken effect]
Soon a high-dimensional force with Gao Yi as its own began to spread to the entire galaxy.
All races are unable to sense its existence, but are all affected by it
