My Desperate Journey in 40k

Despite the situation, the leader did not give up hope. Wang Ming gave him a promise. He said that this world was the home world of his legion and everything could be governed. Wang Ming had allocated a batch of resources to them and formulated the first hundred-year plan.

To be honest, when the leader looked at the century-long plan formulated by Wang Ming, he still felt a little sigh in his heart. The name and layout of this plan were just like the era of his galactic development. He originally developed the galaxy with the Construction Corps, and later he got a quota for a genetically enhanced warrior surgery and officially joined the combat forces.

Looking at the documents of the first centenary plan, he recalled the days when he followed the construction corps to open up wasteland in a desolate world. At that time, they shouted slogans and opened up the stars for the motherland. Looking back now, they are gone forever.

The appearance of Lieutenant Zhou Heng stabilized people's hearts. After all, a living Federation combat hero is more convincing than a few slogans. Human beings are a race that needs hope. They have been able to survive for so long as Federation citizens in a desperate galaxy because they still believe that the Federation still exists. Now the appearance of Lieutenant Zhou Heng further proves that the Federation still exists.

For this matter, Wang Ming organized a small military parade. He mobilized a mortal auxiliary army to play the role of a federal army. Anyway, the local humans could not understand what they said, and they could not understand what the local humans said. If there was any problem, they could just use translation to solve it.

People waved flowers and flags to the parade team, and the mortal auxiliary troops waved to the people. Before they came down, they were told the rules, which was that they were not allowed to talk about anything about the empire with the locals.

The collapse of faith is a very scary thing. This is how human beings are, and it has always been like this. The original purpose of faith is to gather individual human beings in a stable environment. This was the case in the ancient barbaric era, and it is still the case today, as if it has never changed.

Countless beliefs and ideas unite individual humans under flags. This is humanity, this is civilization. After the collapse of faith, humans are crazy. This is why Wang Ming let the time travelers and mortal auxiliary troops play the role of federal forces. Once they know that the Federation has been destroyed and that the empire exists today, their beliefs will definitely collapse. By then, the world will probably have to fight a war against the empire.

This is something Wang Ming absolutely does not want to see. These humans have gone through untold hardships before finally having hope. Now Wang Ming absolutely will not let them despair.

The "Federal" troops marched across the parade ground. People cheered for the strength of the Federal troops. Many old people shed tears. The Federal forces they had waited for so long had finally arrived.

"This is the first 100-year development plan, in which the development of heavy industry is particularly important. Although there are already a lot of heavy industries on the Earthly World, these are still too few. The defense of this world also needs to be strengthened."

In the conference hall of the local government building, Wang Ming was discussing the details of the first centenary plan with local leaders and officials. Most of the plans were carried out according to Wang Ming's arrangements, except for some military details where the locals hoped to use the federal operating model. Wang Ming could understand all this, after all, the world has been like this for thousands of years and cannot be changed at will.

Moreover, as the home world of the 21st Legion, this world is also extremely tax-free. The only thing it needs to pay to the Empire is the new recruits of the 21st Legion. Wang Ming is full of expectations for the new recruits in this world. The physical fitness of humans in this world is much stronger than that of the Imperials in other worlds. If they become Astartes, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be low.

"Okay, that's it. You should first gather a group of new soldiers, and the offspring of genetically enhanced people will be given priority."

After finalizing the first century plan, Wang Ming began to ask them for new recruits. He was very much looking forward to this batch of new recruits.

"How many are needed? There are about 50 million children in our world who meet the requirements."

The old man looked at Wang Ming and spoke to him in a normal tone. He didn't know that Wang Ming was shocked by his words.

"How many!?"

Wang Ming looked at the old man. He was shocked by his plain words. Why are there so many genetically enhanced people in this world?

"It's nothing, Comrade Primarch. The Earth World had a Federation garrison during the Federation era. It was a Federation Marine Corps of 5 million people. These children are descendants of Federation soldiers. Most of their ancestors died in the battle with the aliens. I am just lucky to be alive today."

The old man looked at the surprised Wang Ming, his tone a little lonely. He recalled his comrades in the Federation era. They were all good, warriors who conquered the stars for humanity. They fought the aliens until the last moment, and their descendants also prospered in this world because of their ancestors' identities.

"Row."

When Wang Ming heard about the number of gene-enhanced people in this world, he was truly shocked. If all of them were transformed into Astartes... Wang Ming shuddered unconsciously at the thought of this, and then gave up the idea. After all, Astartes requires not only physical strength, but also soul strength and willpower. It is estimated that there will not be many people selected by then.

The candidates for new recruits were soon chosen. They were all selected from five thousand people through layers of selection. Wearing the big red flowers that represented local glory, they walked towards the traversers' transport ship with smiles. They were the first batch of new recruits recruited from this world.

Of course, these new recruits all need to be assigned. For these new recruits, Wang Ming also fought with Leman Russ. Leman Russ also knew how good the new recruits in this world were, but this was not the reason why Wang Ming fought with him. The main reason was that Wang Ming himself wanted to compete with Leman Russ.

In a wilderness, Wang Ming and Leman Russ stood facing each other. They looked at each other and clenched their weapons. For this batch of new recruits, they had to fight.

"Russ, I gave you all the excellent recruits from the previous world. Now give me this batch of recruits..."

Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ in front of him and advised. Wang Ming wanted to exchange the recruits from the Eden World for this batch of recruits. After all, to be honest, Leman Russ still owed him a favor. Although Wang Ming wanted to compete with Leman Russ, he still had to put on a good show.

"Wang Ming..., the recruits from the Eden world are another matter. You must at least give me half of the recruits from this world. I will give you all the recruits from the next world."

Leman Russ held a battle axe in his hand. He looked at Wang Ming in front of him, showing his two small fangs. He smiled at him and said that he must get the new recruits from this world. He had seen the fighting power of the humans in this world before, and he also knew how strong the physical fitness of the humans in this world was.

"Then let's fight."

Wang Ming would never give new recruits from the world of Leman Russ. After all, the best of the previous batch of new recruits were given to Leman Russ. If he gave them from this world again, Wang Ming would really be losing money.

"I beat you..."

When Leman Russ heard what Wang Ming said, he was about to propose some conditions when Wang Ming interrupted him.

"If you win, I'll give you half of the recruits in this world."

Before Leman Russ could finish speaking, Wang Ming said that if Leman Russ won, he would give half of the new recruits in the world to Leman Russ.

After hearing Wang Ming's words, Leman Russ didn't say anything else. His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant and he rushed directly towards Wang Ming.

"Fuck..., why is this happening?"

Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ who suddenly attacked. He knew that Leman Russ definitely needed new recruits from this world, but he couldn't just hand them over directly. The main reason for his fight with Leman Russ was not because of the problem of new recruits, but Wang Ming wanted to test his own strength. He had fought against the Primarchs for so long in the Emperor's illusion, and he didn't know what his own strength was now. It was just right that he took this opportunity to let Leman Russ fight with him.

Leman Russ's figure instantly appeared in front of Wang Ming, and Wang Ming reacted quickly. Wang Ming had no idea how many times he had experienced this situation in the past five years. For the Archangel Sister, this kind of attack from Leman Russ was still something he could defend against. Wang Ming immediately used Eternity to block Leman Russ's giant axe. There was no phase force field activated on the blade of Eternity, otherwise Wang Ming could not guarantee whether Leman Russ's axe would be cut off by Eternity.

In a blink of an eye, Wang Ming and Leman Russ fought for hundreds of rounds. The attacks were not visible to the time travelers watching the battle. Only Lieutenant Zhou Heng used the motion capture device in his eyes to see the movements of the two men clearly. He watched the Primarch fighting, and even he was wondering in his heart whether he could block these attacks.

The battle between the two was like a battle between two Titans. The earth-shaking roar echoed across the plains. When people in the distance heard the sound, they thought it was the federal artillery performing a show. The noise was really terrifying.

Wang Ming fought hard with Leman Russ. He quickly parried Leman Russ's attacks and looked for every flaw of Leman Russ, just like what he had done in the past five years. Although he could not defeat any other Primarch except Afa and Lorgar in the past five years, it would cost a huge price to fight any other Primarch.

When Eternal Cultivation collided with the giant axe, Wang Ming instantly discovered a flaw in Leman Russ. He quickly moved Eternal Cultivation's blade, and then slashed at Leman Russ' neck. As a Primarch, he could stop the blade instantly, which was why Wang Ming dared to attack Leman Russ.

But at this moment, Leman Russ suddenly laughed, his two small fangs exposed outside his mouth, and he grabbed Wang Ming's neck with a strange movement. Wang Ming had time to grab Leman Russ's arm, and then he was pressed to the ground by Leman Russ.

Dust was flying, and Wang Ming was pinned to the ground by Leman Russ. With his strength, he could easily break free from Leman Russ's arms, but that was no longer necessary. He had lost. If Leman Russ really wanted to kill him, Wang Ming's neck would have been broken by Leman Russ at that moment.

The opportunity just now was a flaw that Leman Russ deliberately exposed. The emergence of this flaw was also very dangerous for Leman Russ himself. As long as Wang Ming was ruthless, his neck would be cut by Eternal Slash, and the Eternal Slash would hit the armor on his neck. But if it was in a real battle, not this kind of sparring, then Wang Ming's Eternal Slash could cut off Leman Russ's neck like a knife cutting butter.

"I lost."

The two said this almost at the same time, and then looked at each other in confusion. Wang Ming admitted defeat because Leman Russ pinned him to the ground, and Leman Russ admitted defeat because he knew that Wang Ming's previous blow could kill him, and he was not a shameless person.

"Hahaha…"

The two men looked at each other, and under the gazes of the time travelers who were watching the fight, they suddenly burst into laughter. Leman Russ stretched out a hand and grabbed Wang Ming's arm. He pulled Wang Ming up. Leman Russ was very satisfied with this fight. He enjoyed the feeling of fighting with his brothers. This was the feeling he had when he sparred with his brothers during the Great Crusade. In this desperate era, his brothers were either missing or fell into Chaos. He only had three brothers left, one was Wang Ming, who appeared at an unknown time, a clone of Fulgrim, and the only one he was familiar with, Guilliman. The thought that it was like a lifetime ago appeared in his mind.

"Half the recruits are yours, my brother."

Wang Ming's words made Leman Russ come to his senses. Leman Russ looked into Wang Ming's golden eyes. He could see no loss after failure in Wang Ming's eyes, but a strange kind of happiness. He smiled and said to Leman Russ.

Chapter 393: A large number of STCs and the next direction forward

393.

After the competition, Wang Ming assigned a group of new recruits to Leman Russ. The number of recruits did not reach half of the total. After all, Wang Ming was reluctant to give too many of these good soldiers to Leman Russ. The gene seed of the Space Wolves was not very stable. If a super werewolf was created, it would be difficult for him to do it.

Leman Russ also knew about this matter, and he did not complain to Wang Ming about the number of new recruits. After all, with the gene seed of the Space Wolves, if someone fails, that person will almost become a big dog of various kinds. After all, there are no wolves on Fenris, only failur...

These new recruits were actually quite a waste for Leman Russ. After all, Leman Russ himself didn't know how many of them could hold out. In comparison, the gene-seeds of the 21st Legion were ridiculously stable, without any mutations. The only problem with the gene-seeds discovered was that they would bite people. A pharmacist was bitten several times by a gene-seed that was accidentally released. However, this was also a special case. After all, who would put gene-seeds in cans of ant bulls?

Overall, the gene seed of the 21st Legion is very stable, and the only mutation was caused by contamination by canned ant-cow food.

After arranging the new recruits, Wang Ming went to the Sun Fortress. He had some other arrangements for this world. The Earth World could not have interstellar navigation capabilities, at least not in the short term, so he had to be cautious in dealing with this federal world.

There is definitely a large amount of federal technology in this world, and the leader did not take the initiative to hand over these things. Wang Ming also knew what he was thinking. The locals still had reservations about outsiders like them, and Wang Ming did not want to give this world a chance to become independent.

Through Lieutenant Zhou Heng's series of actions after waking up, Wang Ming knew that the federal people's fanaticism for the Federation and the tough measures would definitely cause the world to erupt in a war against the empire. He could only boil the frog in warm water and let them join the empire through some suitable opportunities.

However, if some unexpected events reach a point where they cannot be contained, the 21st Legion would not mind using tough measures to make them join the Empire directly. After all, he has a Leman Russ by his side, and he is much more familiar with recovering the lost human world than Wang Ming.

After Wang Ming arrived at the Sun Fortress, he immediately ordered the fleet to begin operations. Various instruments were placed in various locations in the galaxy. These things were used to guard against ships. Their main purpose was to prevent the world from having ships that could sail out of the galaxy. Although Wang Ming knew that they had no navigators, he still had to be on guard against others.

The humans in the Federation can see these things through space observation equipment, but Wang Ming used galaxy defense to dispel their concerns.

"Comrade Fang Jinglong, is there something you haven't told me?"

In the local planetary government building, Wang Ming looked at the old man in front of him. Wang Ming stared at his face with his golden eyes and asked him with a smile.

"How could that be? Comrade Primarch..."

Fang Jinglong looked at Wang Ming in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat, but he still maintained his most relaxed appearance. He spoke to Wang Ming with a puzzled look on his face, as if he was an old man who had no idea what Wang Ming was saying.

"Comrade Fang Jinglong, you know what I'm talking about... the standard template construction system, I think I'm right."

Wang Ming looked at the old man in front of him who was pretending to be calm. He smiled and told him directly about the STC template. This thing can be found more or less in the world of the Federation, but Fang Jinglong had never told him about the STC template.

"Hey... So it's this... You didn't ask me before, do you need these equipment?"

Fang Jinglong looked at Wang Ming. There was no emotional reaction in his eyes because of Wang Ming's words. As an old fox who had lived for 20,000 years, he could still control his emotions easily.

"Huh..., luckily they didn't find out that I was hiding a scientist..."

Fang Jinglong looked at Wang Ming and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wang Ming did not discover the hidden scientists. As long as he did not discover this, he would give Wang Ming as many STC templates as he wanted. Anyway, the scientists in their world have mastered the core technology. They spend some time and resources on things like the standard template construction system. As long as those scientists are not dead, they can get as many standard template construction systems as they want.

The key point is the advanced artificial intelligence programming technology. As long as these artificial intelligences are programmed well, the manufacture of STC templates will not be a big problem. They are different from the Mechanicus. They are the true direct successors of the Federation. They have a lot of technology in their hands. Except for interstellar navigation technology such as subspace starship manufacturing technology, they have almost all the civilian technology of the Federation, as well as some small military technology. As a federal colony, the number of these STC templates is still small. It's not that there is no technological gap in the Earth World, but this technological gap has been pulled back as much as possible by those scientists. Even so, the Earth World has still lost a lot of technology.

"Oh? How many?"

Wang Ming looked at Fang Jinglong in front of him and asked him curiously, it seems that there are many STC templates in this world.

"We have 158 standard template construction systems for civilian use and 15 standard template construction systems for military use. If Comrade Primarch needs it, we can hand them all over to the Empire and do our part to protect the path of human civilization."

Fang Jinglong looked at Wang Ming and said with a smile. The ease in his tone surprised Wang Ming a little. So many STC templates were given to him just like that. If he took away these STC templates, what would happen to the world's production and people's livelihood?

Wang Ming didn't know that the scientists in this world still existed, and their descendants had inherited their scientific research capabilities. These talents were the most precious things in this world. The production and genetic enhancement of civilians in this world were all done by these scientists. The genetic enhancement of the entire population to 300 years old had been completed 10,000 years ago. If there were not enough resources, those scientists would have wanted to transform the entire world's population into the standards of genetically enhanced soldiers.

There is no other way around this. After all, the world's population is almost 100 billion. Even if they have the will, they don't have the strength to transform all of them into the genetically enhanced soldiers of the Federation. There were not many genetically enhanced soldiers transformed by the Federation in the human population, not to mention the productivity of this world.

"So much... If I take all of it, what will happen to the production and people's livelihood in this world?"

Wang Ming looked at Fang Jinglong curiously and asked him puzzledly. He was still worried about the humans in this world. After all, these humans were the few orthodox federal humans. Their rarity was comparable to that of giant pandas.

"Don't worry, Comrade Primarch. Our world's production has entered a self-sufficient mode. Those standard template construction systems are no longer in production."

Seeing that Wang Ming's attention had been diverted to STC, Fang Jinglong immediately smiled and spoke to Wang Ming, as if these STC templates were no longer important to their world. This was the advantage of mastering core technology. The things they looked down upon might be good things in the eyes of others, but in their eyes they might be rare treasures.

"alright."

Wang Ming looked at Fang Jinglong, who nodded to him. It seemed that the guy in front of him didn't know the value of the STC template in the empire. Moreover, since he had taken away their STC template, their technological development would inevitably be hindered. At that time, he would restrict the materials given to them for manufacturing starships and allow them to operate only within the galaxy. Anyway, they didn't have a navigator, so even if they had a subspace engine, it would be a one-way voyage.

The two looked at each other, and they both felt that they had made a profit. Wang Ming got all the STC templates in the world, and Fang Jinglong shifted Wang Ming's attention from those scientists whom Wang Ming had never thought about to those STC templates.

The two men smiled and shook hands with each other. In fact, neither of them noticed the point. Wang Ming hoped to suppress the speed at which they re-entered the stars, while Fang Jinglong hoped to have the STC template to protect those scientists. In fact, neither of them gained anything. Wang Ming might have obtained some insignificant STC templates, while Fang Jinglong had no idea that Wang Ming didn't know those scientists at all.

Just like that, something that didn't mean much to either of them was finalized. The STC templates of the Earth World were dismantled, and then all of them were moved to the traversers' atmospheric transport ships. All of these things would be transported to the Sun Fortress and then sealed up.

In fact, it was fortunate that they encountered the 21st Legion. If it were other Imperial merchants or Imperial fleets, then with the technology and STC templates in their hands, their fate would not have been so good. After all, the Empire could really mobilize a large number of Astartes regiments and Imperial naval fleets to seize these things. By then, it is estimated that this world would be forcibly incorporated into the Human Empire by the Empire no matter what. This world is not worth the Empire paying countless costs to seize.

After receiving these STC templates, Wang Ming left a company of time travelers in this world. These people were all time travelers. This was the task assigned to them by Wang Ming himself. Although the leaders of this world had joined the empire on behalf of this world, they were actually only afraid of the 21st Legion. At that time, Lieutenant Zhou Heng had communicated with Fang Jinglong about the empire. Wang Ming knew that in their eyes, the empire was just a group of primitive people driving civilian ships.

Only an entire federal fleet of the 21st Legion can allow them to safely provide assistance to the 21st Legion and the Empire, and these traversers are the agents of the 21st Legion. As long as they are in the Earth World, the leaders of this world will not dare to act rashly. After all, if they want to build a subspace spacecraft to gain independence, the traverser company will immediately tell the fleet through the astropath, and then they will have to face the wrath of an entire federal main fleet. Fang Jinglong knows this.

In fact, he did not want the human race to split. It was just a kind of distrust. Think about it, a suddenly appeared heir of the Federation, learned through Lieutenant Zhou Heng Fang Jinglong that the Federation in their hands actually had very little complete federal technology, and only the 21st Legion had a large amount of complete federal technology. For various considerations and distrust, he did not want to reveal everything about the Earth God world to the traversers.

What this world provides to the empire has also been determined. The local world's weapons and equipment and some special products are among them. Although its taxes are special tax exemptions, in order to make the humans in this world feel that they have returned to the Federation, some trade is still indispensable. What they produce will be sold to some worlds in the empire. Similarly, these trades also bring resources to this world from the traversal fleet. These things are included in the first centenary plan. In other words, in a hundred years, the resources and trade of this world are controlled by the traversers, and it is almost impossible for them to get news from the outside world.

After confirming the affairs of this world, the fleet began to determine the next destination. The fleet now has two choices, one is to continue exploring towards the Kronos expansion area, and the other is to return to the dark side of the empire and continue to help the Thirteenth Master continue his Indomitable Expedition.

Finally, Wang Ming continued to explore the Kronos expansion area, because according to the information on the Sun Fortress, there is a dense star cluster 100,000 light-years away from the Earth World. There are many human colonies in this star cluster, and Wang Ming hopes to find more Federation remnants. The Wolf King thinks so too. As a gene primarch, Leman Russ is actually not as barbaric as he shows to outsiders. He is very smart. He knows the importance of these Federation remnants and the technology in their hands. He also attaches great importance to those human genetic enhancement technologies and various human Federation technologies.
