Chapter 59, from the golden age
"Do you believe it?"
Wu Jiarong didn't believe it.
Productivity comparable to Forge World? It's possible;
Can the standard of living be comparable to that of Garden World? It is not without such examples.
But having both?
That's a joke.
The Garden World has a beautiful environment, abundant resource supply, and excellent people's quality of life. It is usually an administrative planet or a business hub planet. As for the Forge World, the environment is usually not much better. The entire world will look like a huge factory, with countless
People have to contribute their sweat and even their flesh and blood to it.
Can these two things be fused at will?
How many such examples can be found among the countless stars throughout the empire?
Can Holy Terra, the capital of the Empire, live up to what the Governor says it will?
have no idea.
She heard the propaganda, but she had never been there or seen it with her own eyes, so she didn’t dare to believe it.
She couldn't even believe that Holy Terra looked like what the Governor said, let alone on this remote wasteland planet.
Rationally, she felt that the Governor was just talking nonsense and painting a pie.
That cake was big and round, but it was so distant and unreal that it was a bit ridiculous.
But emotionally, she could feel Governor Gu's lofty ambitions.
Of course ambition cannot be eaten as food. She had the ambition to be promoted to a machinist back then, and even further to a technical priest, but in the end, wasn't it treated as imperial tax?
But she felt that she could believe in Governor Gu's ambition.
Believing that he has ambitions and believing that this ambition can be realized are two different things.
But just by believing in the governor's ambition, she could probably picture in her mind that her future governor should not just want to live and die, only want to levy excessive taxes, and only want to deal with the imperial tax every two years.
The rest of the time is spent enjoying yourself.
So working under such a governor, it seems, seems, probably... is a good opportunity that I have never had in the past?
Ten years ago, when she was in the forging world, she thought she was talented and talented, but all she wanted to do was to be promoted to a mechanic; on the starship, her future was cut off, and all she could think about was finding a better man to marry and have a child with.
Baby, and then eat and wait to die. One day, I will be too old to retire, but it is also very likely that before that, the 'Quintet' will be destroyed in a certain war, and all the people on board will become
Becoming another part of space junk.
Following a governor and becoming the most important technician under his command, her future achievements may not be just a mechanic or a mechanical priest. Perhaps, she will have the opportunity to become a mechanical bishop, or even...
She didn't dare to think about it any more. It was too difficult to be promoted to a sage. Thinking like this would be as futile as the Governor's fantasy that the Raging Owl Star could become a combination of the Forge World and the Garden World.
All this is still far away, but not that far away either.
Indeed, the Governor is now very poor. The population under his direct supervision has not even exceeded 10,000. Even the administrative power of the Governor cannot be extended to the whole world. But then again, if the current Governor has such power, he can still think so much of himself.
A small technical specialist? I'm afraid it's not possible to recruit a bunch of more senior experts just casually.
It is now, when starting a business, that we have the opportunity to provide help in times of need, and that we have the opportunity to continue to grow as the governor continues to take power.
What's more, the Governor also has a black box making machine...
The value of this thing is extremely precious.
According to legend, they come from the distant golden age, a time when empires have not yet been established and are almost unverifiable. It is said that at that time, humans were the masters of the entire universe, and every human being had dignity and could enjoy the best life.
, everyone can engage in any industry according to their own interests, or it doesn't matter if they don't work at all.
The black box manufacturing machine was a product of that era to ensure that humans can obtain products easily and quickly under any environment. As long as interstellar colonists have a black box, they can quickly build a suitable home on a new desolate planet.
.
It is precisely by relying on black boxes that mankind in the golden age was able to spread its footprints throughout the universe and maintain a fairly similar technological level in every world.
In today's era, the empire's technology is completely different from that of the golden age.
Scientific research relies on archeology, this saying is no joke.
A subject that cannot be solved even in a hundred years of research in the forging world, maybe one day you discover an ancient ruins, get a few tips from it, and solve the problem.
In fact, many of the various technologies now widely used in the empire were restored through archeology, and their level is less than one percent of what it was in the golden age. The precious Titan armor may have been just some kind of vehicle driven by lumberjacks in the golden age.
Just a tool.
And things like black box manufacturing machines are the top priority of archaeological...er, I mean scientific research work.
This thing can directly produce finished products and has extremely high research value.
Although the three black boxes that Governor Gu currently has in his possession are all items that have long been on the streets in the empire, they have little value in themselves. After all, what normal world can't produce rifles, alloy plastic steel, and grindstone engines?
Already?
However, the most valuable thing is the black box itself.
The output product is not that important, but the technology from the golden age contained in the black box itself is enough to drive the Mechanicum crazy.
…
Gu Hang listened carefully as Wu Jiarong introduced the situation to him.
Some he knew from rummaging through his memory, and some he didn't.
These messages are important, but not that important.
According to Wu Jiarong, he has basically given up on the idea of selling the black box manufacturing machine. In fact, it is not impossible to sell it. It will take a lot of effort for others to grab it. If you can buy it for a little money, it is not a less labor-saving approach.
However, Gu Hang would not sell it.
It's too dangerous.
Compared to the Mechanicus, which is extremely powerful throughout the entire empire, his little governor is nothing.
What's even more dangerous is that if he sells a few units, will the Mechanicus keep an eye on him, intending to obtain more? Or want to know how he obtained the precious black box?
As for the unimportant point, it is that the Raging Owl is too remote and inconspicuous. It is difficult for what happens here to reach the ears of the Mechanicus.
Currently, the only interstellar communication on the Raging Owl is with the Quintet. If the news is not leaked to the sky, this matter will be ignored.
What's more, it's impossible for Gu Hang to ignore the black box and not use it.
He had been careful before, but it was inevitable that some of it would be exposed, and there was nothing he could do about it as long as he used it.
In the future, he will be more careful.
At the same time, he also needs someone to help him.
Gu Hang looked at Wu Jiarong with expectation.
