Looking at the magnificent artificial isthmus and the artificial island housing the Titan detachment, Soshyan thought for a moment and said softly:
"Sage Ultramok, there are some things I don't want to hide anymore. I hope this expedition can get Riza's support."
"Terra and Mars have issued orders asking us to support the expedition, and we will comply."
That's what he said, but Soshyan knows very well that perfunctory support and voluntary and full support are not the same concept. The former may only bring out one thousandth of Reza's strength, but the latter may exert this casting power.
One hundred percent of the world's energy.
Just like the Titan Army, even if Reza only sent out a Titan detachment to support Soshyan, he couldn't say anything.
"Great Sage, I think there are still many areas where we can cooperate in various fields."
"oh?"
The visual devices in Ultramok's metal eye sockets flickered slightly, as if simulating the action of a human blinking.
"Don't we always cooperate?"
"It's not just about plasma weapons."
Hearing the hidden meaning behind Soshiyang's words, the great sage nodded slightly.
"So what do you need from us?"
"I am not sure that this expedition will be resolved quickly. It may develop into a protracted war of attrition. At that time, the expedition will need a stable supplier of materials and equipment, and the production capacity of several small forging worlds around the maelstrom
The functions and functions are not as complete as those of Ryza, and they are always under the threat of red pirates, and they may not be able to fully support us."
"But we also have other orders that need to be completed. Mars has assigned us a lot of production targets and tasks. You may not know that the Foundry General has always been hostile to us. No matter how we plead, it will only send us more.
We have production tasks ranging from the Astra Militarum to the Astartes Chapter. Even the ships and equipment of several sectors of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior have to be produced by us. After a large number of production lines are crowded, our trade products have declined year by year, resulting in
The scale of production is further restricted, which is how the generals are cast."
Soshyan took a deep breath, walked to the railing, put his hands on the railing, and looked at the gradually appearing filthy ocean.
Judging from the detailed historical records of Reza, like Ancient Terra, Reza was once a blue planet with most of the ground covered by a liquid ocean. But like Terra, in the highly developed industrial civilization of mankind,
In China, this kind of ocean has long since disappeared, replaced by a large number of super giant reservoirs and giant water bodies composed of industrial wastewater and sewage as wide as the ocean blocked by dams, and the place where these water bodies gather is called
It is the "rebirth sea".
Due to hundreds of thousands of years of continuous discharge of sewage and waste, as well as the destruction of various wastes here, the reactions of a large number of substances in those water bodies are extremely complicated, so much so that even the Reza people themselves do not quite understand the current specific situation of the Regeneration Sea.
What are the ingredients? After all, all kinds of industrial production waste in Reza can eventually be returned to the bottom of this regeneration sea.
However, on the colorful and slightly dark water, Soshyan saw some large tugboats. From this height, they looked a bit like seabirds on the ocean.
Recycling fleets will periodically depart from the Isthmus of Atonement. The only purpose of these fleets is to recover anything that may be useful in the regeneration sea. For this reason, these fleets are equipped with a large number of servitors specially designed to deal with harsh environments.
These servitors will assist the priests in the exploration, archiving and inspection of various potentially useful resources, so that subsequent fleets can transport these resources to various recycling plants in Reza for reuse.
With these methods, Reza has unparalleled self-sustainability under extreme circumstances. Even if there is no input of external resources, Reza can maintain it for a considerable period of time, even in the worst situations in the Age of Strife.
.
"Great Sage, the Maelstrom Area is rich in resources, whether it is minerals, manpower, or other products."
Soshyan paused and turned his head.
"As long as I am in the position of commander-in-chief, you don't need to worry about any trade issues."
"I believe this, but I need to remind you that most trade routes and resource areas are currently under the control of trade lords and red pirates."
"So Reza's investment will have huge returns, but of course there will be some risks."
The lights in the great sage's eyes flickered twice, and then he let out a clear laugh.
"worth."
With these two words, Suoshiyang unexpectedly heard some emotions. Only then did he realize that this great sage had never really let the logic operator dominate him. In the mechanical body, what maintained himself was still human nature and
Consider.
"However, Commander Soshyan, I'm afraid you need more than just supplies and equipment support, right?"
"Yes, and Reza's world-famous army of militants."
"Then those forging worlds that followed your expedition, did they provide such help?"
Soshyan shook his head.
"No."
"Do you know the reason?"
"Know."
"That's it. I have already said that we will obey the orders of Terra and Mars."
Soshyan also knew that it was impossible to take away the entire militant army, but he estimated that he could take away at least two detachments, but now it seems that Reza can take away one detachment.
However, he couldn't force the opponent. After all, Titan was the most precious divine machine of the Mechanicus. If it was damaged too much in battle, it would be a serious blow to the overall strength of the Forge World.
It is easy to let others add to the cake, but it is difficult to let others risk their lives to accompany you.
The airship has now arrived at the coast of the Boshi Continent.
The Boshi Continent is two continents that were developed after the Origin Continent. In the first few centuries of Reza's colonization, there was basically no systematic colonization here. This situation continued until the western corner of the southern continent, where Reza began to establish
It was only the forge of the Human Sacred Mechanism that completely ended the lack of comprehensive development of the Southern Continent.
Among them, the earliest one was a huge fortress built on the basis of a hollowed-out mountain range, the steel fortress of the great Militant Legion. Its suburbs were also surrounded by various Titan Legions dedicated to serving the Militant Legion.
A complex of spaceports and related industries.
The center of the continent is the largest city in Reza today: Endeavor City.
After thinking for a while, Soshyan decided to get to the crux of the problem.
"Great Sage, how much force can the Militant Legion mobilize to participate in the expedition this time? Can the Knight Family of the Forge World provide additional support?"
But the other party did not answer this question, but asked instead:
"Commander-in-Chief Soshyan, do you have confidence in this expedition?"
"have."
"How many are there?"
After a moment of silence, Soshyan said softly:
"I can't answer this question until everything is ready." This chapter has been completed!
