Chapter 165: 277
Chapter 277 Iron Hands: How could I not know whether this father is real or fake?
It took Guilliman a full year to reorganize the High Lords.
The problems of the Ministry of Internal Affairs occupied a lot of Guilliman's energy. The workload of selecting and reorganizing the Ministry of Internal Affairs was too complicated. After all, the Primarch was not a god, and the chaos caused by Chaos was still not over. It seemed that the humans living in the bottom of Hell were a constant source of soldiers for Chaos.
The situation of Terra's lower nest and bottom nest is far more complicated than that of ordinary nests.
However, with the help of Gao Yi, the combination of SCV, medics, ecological circulation system and massive amounts of mushroom man food, Guilliman gradually took control of the situation.
The SCVs were forcibly repairing the dilapidated air circulation and purification systems under the hive, the medical soldiers were healing people's injuries for free, and the ecological recycling technology could even allow the bottom nest to see a touch of natural green, and most importantly, the change in food rations had improved their lives.
Gao Yi did not choose to take the credit for himself, but gave it to Guilliman instead. This made the people of Terra begin to believe that the return of the Primarch would really change their lives and prevent them from being easily seduced by Chaos.
The last high lord to fall was Pope Leicester. Relying on the prestige he had accumulated in the state religion and the uniqueness of the state religion itself, he fought to the end.
But in the end, he met his end in an unexpected way.
The last thing he should do is use the rumors spread by the followers of Slaanesh that Ferrus was no longer the real Ferrus to launch a final resistance.
If Ferrus had not yet entered the throne room to meet the God-Emperor, then perhaps this would have had some effect. However, no matter what Ferrus's body had become, Ferrus who walked out of the throne room safely was in a state recognized by the Emperor.
He was still the Primarch of the Imperium.
The Iron Hands and two successor chapters that came from Medusa to reunite with their Primarch were immediately furious. How could the state religion, which openly did not allow the state religion to have its own armed forces, possibly stop an entire furious Primitive Chapter and its successor chapters?
They absolutely would not allow anyone to question their Primarch, and they had been looking forward to their Primarch's return all the time for tens of thousands of years.
I finally have a father again, but you insist that my father is fake?! Don't I know whether my father is fake or not?
Look at my dad's perfect mechanical body. I'll be angry with anyone who says he's fake!!!
Mechanical modification is not considered heresy in the empire, but it is too rare to see 100% pure machinery without a trace of flesh and blood.
However, the veterans of the Iron Hands are in a similar situation. They are essentially a group of mechanics wearing power armor.
In Ferrus' absence, the Iron Hands became a group of twisted people obsessed with hatred.
Without informing Ferrus, the current Chapter Cardan Stronos directly organized a commando team and rushed into the church of the State Religion to carry out a swift decapitation operation, killing Leicester on the Pope's throne that he loved so much.
Afterwards, the Iron Hands Chapter received only symbolic punishment from Ferrus and Guilliman.
Who made Lester so angry that he slandered the Primarch?
Looking at his offspring who were staring at him fanatically, Ferrus felt extremely troubled.
The Iron Hands' acceptance of Ferrus's mechanical body is surprisingly high. Isn't this the mechanical ascension that the Iron Hands are pursuing now?
Ferrus's current state represents that the path they are pursuing is the right one.
Faced with the current state of these offspring, Ferrus, who upholds the supremacy of mankind, is not happy at all. But he has no choice. He has no way to change his own body, and his offspring are ultimately developing in a direction he does not want.
He could only plan in his mind that he must do everything he can to regain a body of flesh and blood that could carry his soul.
In the end, the positions of High Lords were replaced by people whom Guilliman trusted.
After becoming the High Lord, Gao Yi presented Guilliman with his first gift, which was a quantum communication system, which was more important than the turmoil that the jump engine might bring to the empire.
The negative effects of this technology are much lower.
Under the promotion of Guilliman, the Astropathic Tribunal also began to reorganize this year. The emergence of quantum communication caused a large number of Astropaths to become "unemployed".
In order to maintain the stability of this group of people, Guilliman also began to establish a new communications department between the Astronomican Tribunal and the Adeptus Mechanicus to make up for the lack of power within the Astronomican Tribunal.
The head of the Astronomical Court did not have any major objections to this. After all, in addition to training astropaths, the Astronomical Court also trained official psychics in various fields for the empire. Now they still hold some communication-related rights. Although their rights have been weakened, they no longer need to face the extremely dangerous subspace.
Astropathic communication is not a comfortable job. Every time of astropathic communication is a torture to the will and body.
Regarding this technology, Gao Yi generously stated that he would not charge any fees for the planets in need. His dynasty and the Holy Mechanic Order would manufacture and install it for free. Compared with other forces in the galaxy, human communication methods are the most constrained and are also the most needed.
The existence of Tianji Engineering means Gao Yi doesn't need to worry about this technology being cracked.
Gao Yi had selfish motives in doing this. Only by promoting quantum communication technology throughout the empire could he carry out his next plan.
Free infrastructure is not really free; it often has other political purposes and other needs.
And this benefit is the Internet in the Warhammer world that Gao Yi has always envisioned. He hopes to use it to connect the seemingly unified but actually divided empires, and humanity will burst out with power far beyond its current capabilities.
Once successful, Warhammer, a medieval empire in the guise of an interstellar empire, will be able to truly centralize its power and exercise real-time supervision over its planets, and quickly check and regulate the vast amounts of materials within the empire. The huge empire does not lack resources, it's just that too many of them are wasted.
If there are too few users, then the Warhammer network will lose its meaning. Only when there are enough users can Gao Yi get more benefits from it.
During this year, Guilliman began to change his policies before he fell asleep.
For example, the Astartes Grand Ceremony. However, it is not so easy to reform this holy code that has been followed by the Astartes for thousands of years. Something that has been followed for a long time is suddenly said to be wrong, which has caused serious impact among the various chapters.
Cawl has also begun to bring the transformed Primaris Space Marines that he and Guilliman had agreed to accumulate over tens of thousands of years to the Imperium.
Along with it came a large number of Primaris gene-seeds.
With the help of Gao Yi's nano-healing gun, the transformation process for the first batch of Extreme Warriors who underwent Primaris transformation went extremely smoothly, and the probability of failure was suppressed to the lowest level.
As long as one has the willpower to do so, the operation can be successfully performed, and any physical accidents that occur during the transformation process can be compensated by the nano-treatment gun.
Most Astartes have strong wills, otherwise they would not be able to become Astartes.
Following Guilliman's orders, teams led by the Custodes, carrying Primaris gene-seeds, nano-healing guns and hastily produced quantum communication equipment, went to various chapters and planets. Even according to Gao Yi's request, 2,000 gene-seeds were sent to the Mongt Dynasty, so that the number of Blood Ravens Chapters within the dynasty could be expanded again.
Gao Yi also plans to transform his Night Guards to improve their combat effectiveness and survivability on the battlefield
