Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 279 Government Platforms and Technology Forum
This device was also manufactured using the Star Pioneers and the servo system on Gorgon, and unlike the Empire's existing Thinkers, it is closer to the computers that Gao Yi understands.

Numerous marks of purity were affixed to this creation to prevent it from being corrupted.

Gao Yi has no mechanical prosthetic modifications, but if someone has a brain-computer interface, they can directly connect to the server system in front of them through the brain-computer interface.

This also allows the priests under Gao Yi's command to better monitor the entire system.

Gao Yi, however, had a more direct method: he perceived everything through the Magic Steel Neural Plexus.

As the machine started up, Gao Yi could sense an incredibly massive machine spirit awakening.

The previously incomprehensible binary data stream began to transform into understandable information and flowed into Gao Yi's mind.

The server system has started loading.

Gao Yi logged in with the highest level of access that was exclusively his own.

Now Gao Yi can clearly view all the data within the dynasty at any time.

Rebecca and her officials spent a great deal of time importing all the data, including documents, decrees, and outputs from within the dynasty, into the system.

Pavian and Kaul also built a preliminary government platform for Rebecca and other officials to coordinate resources and handle government affairs more efficiently.

These massive data operations are coordinated and calculated by the loaded low-level artificial intelligence.

Karax also made some contributions, with some of the memory data of the fallen Protoss who were stored as Purifiers being uploaded into the system in front of him.

These beings, who were originally the purifiers of data life, have transformed into special guardians, protecting and supervising the ocean of data before Gao Yi.

This government affairs system is what Gao Yi wants to provide to Guilliman.

It could help Guilliman gradually abandon the old, inefficient administrative processes in order to deal with the problems that the Ministry of the Interior was facing after its reorganization.

As this envisioned system is rolled out across the entire empire, it will enable the monitoring of troop movements, resource allocation, and even the internal conditions and political affairs of each planet.

As mentioned before, the empire's vast territory is not lacking in resources, but most of them are wasted due to information lag.

Excessive tithes on some planets can drive a large portion of the planet's population to death, or even force some loyal planets to rebel.

Gao Yi also hoped to prevent this situation from happening. If successful, the stability of the entire human empire would take another step forward.

Moreover, the empire's policy of not interfering with the governor's rule as long as a tithe was paid will gradually become a thing of the past.

This system can make the tithes levied on planets more reasonable, and adjust the amount of tithes in real time within the required range.

However, Gao Yi could foresee that implementing this system would not be too smooth. Some planets might be begging the Empire to promote it, but some governors who wanted to continue their tyrannical rule might not be so.

The local governor's bloody and oppressive rule is also forcing the planet's inhabitants to embrace chaos and rebel.

The five hundred worlds ruled by the Ultramarines prove that the Empire's strength does not necessarily mean that the lower classes live worse than livestock.

A rational and stable social system, where everyone can live a stable life, can provide the empire with more stable output, whether it be resources or soldiers.

Guilliman wanted to promote the management model and system of the 500 Worlds, but this was originally impossible due to distance and information timeliness issues.

However, Guilliman saw the feasibility of Gao Yi's system.

These patterns will also affect the interests of some governors, who can no longer act as local tyrants or rule the entire planet with impunity. War will be inevitable and may even lead some governors to actively seek the power of Chaos. The empire will experience the pain of removing these malignant tumors, but in the long run, it will be worthwhile.

Although the Unyielding Expedition to save the Empire's dark side has disappeared, a new expedition to change the Empire is beginning to brew in Guilliman's plans.

Fleets assembled under Guilliman's orders.

Gao Yi curiously examined everything within the system, and only after seeing the information did he realize just how vast his Montgerd dynasty had become.

This made Gao Yi a little embarrassed; the ruler of the dynasty had such a vague understanding of these data before.

Gao Yi has already gotten used to the hands-off lifestyle of being a boss.
The population under the direct rule of the dynasty has reached more than 200 billion. Just think, when we first arrived here, the Montgomery dynasty only had a population of one or two billion.

Gao Yi wasn't very familiar with the government affairs interface, so he couldn't make too many judgments. He would ask Rebecca or Guilliman for suggestions on future improvements. What Gao Yi cared more about were the other functions that he had Pavia and Caul design.

With Pavian's guidance, a platform completely different from the government system appeared before Gao Yi.

This is a forum exclusively for the Holy Machine Cult. Within the Holy Machine, Gao Yi is determined to prevent academic factional disputes. If the Holy Machine Cult had previously been limited to the star system where the Montgomery Dynasty was located, this forum would have seemed somewhat superfluous.

However, as the Holy Machine Order spread throughout the entire expansion region and even to many worlds within the Empire, the importance of this platform became apparent.

Members of the order can earn contribution points by contributing to the dynasty, and these contribution points can be used to learn the scientific and technological knowledge publicly available within the Holy Machine Order.

If you encounter any problems, you can seek help from others on the forum, or even mark your contribution points for paid academic exchange.

The Holy Machines Order encourages its priests to express their creative ideas on it.

You can also submit your research findings to the dynasty through the platform. Once you prove their importance, you will gain a lot of contribution points, and your talents will be discovered by the dynasty and promoted to a higher and more suitable position.

The punishment for the heinous act of forcibly seizing and appropriating the scientific research results of others is extremely severe.

In some of the Empire's existing forging worlds, if you create something more practical and effective that infringes on the existing interests of a more powerful sage or a more powerful forging world.

The creations made may even be subject to review for hundreds of years. The review process can be so long that it can kill the inventor. Before the review is approved, these creations are not allowed to be put into mass production. Forced production will only result in them being labeled as heretical and taboo creations.

Compared to Pavian, Kaur was more interested in the platform, even registering an account himself and sometimes answering questions from priests.

This open communication on the platform seemed to open the door to a new world for the priests.

Kaul even dedicated a portion of his computing power to monitoring the forum for an extended period. During this time, some of the more ingenious ideas uttered by lower-ranking priests would sometimes provide Kaul with new insights.

A person's thoughts and ideas are limited, and different people can see different things from different angles when looking at the same thing.

As it turns out, once the conservative constraints that bound these mechanical priests were broken, their innovative abilities were quite high.

"Lord Gao Yi, if I had to pick the creation I'm most satisfied with, it would be this forum right here."

Kaur couldn't help but sigh to Gao Yi.

"I'm fine with you if you like it, but the more important this forum is, the more we need to pay attention to the review of the participants. It's okay to express your opinions, Pavian. Once you discover any valuable technology, add it to the Empire's technology database immediately."

Gao Yi did this to minimize the possibility of leakage using the Tianji Project.

"I have arranged for core members of the order to monitor the forum 24 hours a day. Although it is good to speak freely, sometimes some priests will say some inappropriate heretical things because they are too unrestrained. We will also warn these priests!"
