Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 554: Legacy of the Dark Ages

After solving the energy problem, Taylor's mood suddenly became very good. After all, this was a short-term concern for him.

Of course, he didn't want to use such means. After all, harmony is his motto. But the other party was not interested in doing business and just wanted to use blackmail and raise the price, and there was nothing he could do.

It's really disgusting that this guy deliberately raised the price just because he knew Taylor was a big customer and was doing a pioneering task.

Of course, Taylor did not kill them all in order to leave them a way out. He had already made plans about what they would rely on for the next few thousand years.

If the world of Cadia continues to develop, they will not become poor. On the contrary, if they no longer want to make money, then he will no longer need to show them any mercy.

Now it seems that his behavior was a bit too kind. After all, if those people still hold a grudge, it might cause bad things.

But Taylor didn't want to be a real villain, he just needed to take his design a step further.

Of course, he is not a perfectionist. He can only say that it is something that can be solved at hand. Secondly, it can be done to prevent future problems. Taylor also cares about this very much.

He is a guy who can't sleep well when he has something on his mind. This is a pretty bad trait, but it is not completely useless.

The so-called battlefield requires swift and decisive action, and this kind of character has indeed enabled him to achieve many tactical miracles.

However, this action actually had more positive effects. It could be said that many worlds that originally looked down on Skadi began to relax their attitude towards him.

After all, this person has the relationship with the Regent behind him. Those things before were just rumors, but now there is solid evidence.

After all, the intricate network of relationships within the Empire has always been a headache for Taylor, and he had been hiding his special relationship with Guilliman because he needed a trump card.

If Guilliman's friendship with him had been made public from the beginning, he would not have been able to see the problem now, not knowing that those guys didn't think highly of him.

He was born a civilian and his home planet was an occupied area, so he was obviously not a person of high status.

This was probably the reason why those guys looked down on him and Skadi from the bottom of their hearts. After all, they more or less believed that their ancestors followed the Emperor or Macharius into the pass, which meant that they were superior in terms of bloodline.

Such views were common within the empire, perhaps even too common.

Although it was not pleasant, Taylor was actually protected by this view. Because of his background, many despicable things were ignored by the nobles.

That's why he can do things that even Guilliman can't do. It can even be said that this is Taylor's privilege.

With this in mind, the Damocles also docked above the Forge World. At the same time, the exploration and planning for other areas during this period had also been clarified.

This star region is very rich. They found several planets rich in ice and could directly mine water from them.

The second step is to install plasma heaters. Those huge devices next to the star can quickly capture the plasma, turn it into an energy source, and then be carried to the planet by ships.

In this way, the energy brought back and forth will be quite sufficient. As long as the number of transport ships is guaranteed, the energy needed by most planets can be sufficient.

The fact that such equipment can be mass-produced is of great significance to industrialization, and even Skadi's industrial chain will be accelerated.

Taylor is now quite satisfied. After solving the energy problem, the factory's development speed has become very fast. At the same time, although it cannot yet cast knight mechas, light armored vehicles are no problem.

As the war intensified, orders for soldiers and equipment poured into Skadi. Most of the resources and money were quickly reinvested in further development, creating a positive cycle that attracted more and more people to Skadi.

Most of them are desperate people. They are refugees from wars in nearby worlds. Coming to Skadi, they can find peace, enough food, and a good job.

At least the income is definitely higher than before.

It can be said that an agricultural world and a forging world brought hope to this desperate hell of a star zone. It is also because of the existence of these two worlds that the power of Chaos did not expand again due to the war.

And now Guilliman probably understood what his father saw in this mortal.

Hope is the primary means to severely damage Chaos, and war is the way to drive those guys out of the Imperial homeland.

We cannot support war by war, but we must give people faith and hope. In this way, the power of the Emperor will increase and the power of Chaos will decrease.

And now Guilliman is proceeding with those very things, just as the Emperor had foreseen.

Once the resources arrive on the front line, those heavy sentinel mechas will be able to solve a lot of problems.

Guilliman looked forward to it.

But he had no idea that the good stuff Taylor was going to bring was not that simple.

That wasn't a turning point in the war, but a miracle that rivaled the Imperial Fists' flagship, the Phalanx...

At the same time, on the Skadi forge world, the busy forging days finally began.

However, compared to the continuous output of weapons and equipment, input is obviously also very important, but the chaos's siege and blockade prevents many resources from entering.

Although Taylor's standard has always been self-sufficiency, it does not mean that he does not need external things, otherwise the resources of the two worlds would be too scarce.

Today, many refugees have shelter and food, some have begun to pursue a better life, and some hope to become higher-level managers.

Obviously, if this continues, the current resources of the two worlds will not be able to maintain the happiness of the residents. Taylor has to play both the father and the mother role, which is quite tiring.

And the biggest problem is the corruption and decay of the management, but there is no need to think about this in the short term. After all, it is Skadi’s old brothers and retired soldiers who are managing those things now.

But they are still old-school imperial people with a strong character and will not take action in this regard.

So the question is, how to break through the chaos's siege...

While Taylor was having a headache, the members of the Mechanicus reported their discoveries in the human technological ruins.

Those guys were so mysterious, they kowtowed to those things, and the crystals inside really surprised Taylor a little...

How to say it, at this moment he completely understood why the sage would risk his life to study the planetary-level subspace engine.

Because the technology in this relic is the means to turn a planet into a planetary engine.

A terrifying plan to turn stars into warships!
