Regarding Malakin's words, the biological sage made a sound of agreement.
"The description of Chapter Master Malakin is very accurate. Yes, the killer, all its designs are centered around this function. It is precisely because of the discovery of this creature that we have a deeper collective awareness of Tyranids.
cognition.”
"Indeed, this means that the collective consciousness of Tyranids knows how to distinguish the level of opponents, and has even evolved highly specialized biological weapons to carry out assassination and beheading missions... This is terrible."
Andal on the side changed the subject.
"How was such a creature killed? In my memory, no one seems to have reported the discovery of this thing."
"Probably destroyed accidentally when covered by long-range fire."
This explanation was actually a bit far-fetched, but Andal did not continue to delve deeper and just glanced at Soshyan.
"So when you are fighting, you must pay more attention to this kind of creature. Tyranids will not make just one. I guess it intends to use this weapon against human commanders."
Soshyan nodded when he heard this, and then stretched out his hand.
"Thank you very much for your efforts, Sage, and the other mechanical priests. We will not disturb your work any more."
After shaking hands with the other party, just when Soshyan was about to take the people away, the biological sage stopped him.
"Captain Soshyan, there is one more thing."
"What's up?"
"It can be concluded that this insect nest is a new insect nest that has never been recorded in the empire. According to past practice, it needs to be given a code name. I think... no one is more qualified than you."
In fact, this kind of thing is usually done by the Alien Tribunal, but since the other party said so, Soshyan also felt that he was running back and forth and racking his brains to compete with the insect nest. There was really no one better than him.
Qualifies to name his opponent.
After thinking for a moment, Soshyan said a name.
"Then this Hive Fleet will be named...Cerberus."
Hearing the name, Seth nodded.
"The three-headed vicious dog from the brimstone hell, a very apt name. Now this vicious dog has two heads chopped off by us."
Soshyan smiled slightly.
"If we don't try anything, its severed head will still grow back."
Not long after the meeting ended, the fleet arrived at the Westeros star system in the Archdiocese of St. Casperon, which is the closest star system to the war zone. It withdrew from the Winoshi star system, the Longo Bardi star system and the St. Trigo star system.
The refugees will be transported here first, and then transferred to other star systems in the parish. Therefore, when the fleet arrives, the airport here has already been occupied by transport ships. Not only that, even the only three habitable planets
It was also overcrowded at this time, and there were simple refugee camps everywhere.
Therefore, all kinds of overwhelming problems rushed towards Soshiyang at the first time, such as hunger, disease, public security... The local primitive feudal administrative system could not withstand such an impact at all, and fell into a state of complete paralysis from the beginning, and even
There are also people who take the opportunity to make huge war fortunes, hoard food, drive up prices, and try to squeeze the last promethium coin out of the hands of refugees. There is even a large-scale buying and selling of people. Although there is a fixed standard of subsistence rations per person,
But less than half of them may actually fall into the hands of refugees. Less than five days after arriving in the galaxy, Soshiyan saw a shocking corruption case, and even senior servants of the war group responsible for material allocation were involved.
Among them, the relief food involved amounted to more than 8,400 tons. They colluded with the upper and lower levels to deceive the upper and lower levels, and used forged personnel lists and false reporting of losses to embezzle a large amount of food, medicine, clothing, daily necessities and other emergency supplies that were already extremely tight.
supplies, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths that should not have occurred.
But this is even good, at least there is a relatively spacious environment on the planet, and the refugees who are forced to crowd into the transport ship are even worse. Not only do they have to endure the dirty air, but they also have to endure the situation where they are about to collapse.
Due to the poor sanitary conditions and the severe shortage of supplies, many people have to take risks and commit crimes in order to survive. There are also many women who have to sell their bodies and become prostitutes in order to obtain survival supplies to feed their relatives. The dark environment and poor public security
, further spawning hostility and anger in people's hearts. Riots occurred from time to time, but captains often chose to suppress them harshly. Some captains even claimed that they used more bullets than food. In order to survive, young refugees resorted to
They had to band together and form gangs, and what was even worse was that some cult groups began to appear within them.
The people of the Archdiocese are devout and fragile. When they face the deepest darkness and despair and find that their faith is completely useless, it is very easy to turn to other things.
As for why such a chaotic situation is caused, of course one of the reasons is that the level of development of the galaxy is low and there is almost no ability to modify the environment. Many planets are uninhabitable because of their relatively harsh environments. It is even impossible to build orbital settlements. Satellite cities are all just ideas.
Don't even want to.
Considering that the number of refugees gathered in this galaxy has reached 2.4 billion, even an industrially developed hive city cannot accommodate such a huge population in a short period of time. Although the transport fleet is constantly transporting refugees to the arranged
The better ones are further back, but due to the greatly reduced number of habitable worlds in the archdiocese, communication problems, and the speed of decision-making, only 13 million people can be transported out every month.
Crowding is one of the root causes of the problem. The second reason is that the archdiocese has always had a relatively backward administrative system and industrial capabilities. Priests are often in a hurry when facing emergencies.
In this situation, Soshiyang had no good solution. He could only do it himself, quickly and resolutely establishing order with an iron fist. All refugee camps were managed militarically, with families as units, ten households as one armor, and ten armors as one guarantee.
If a family has two adult males or above, one of them will be the security guard, who will carry out military training in his spare time, and perform orderly patrols, stand guard and other tasks of maintaining law and order. The chief and security chief will be given priority by those with certain military experience.
, followed by those who have held administrative positions, then those with wealth, status and reputation, and finally by the policyholders themselves.
For those homeless men, women, old and young, young children enter orphanages under unified management, young adults are incorporated into faith guards, receive complete military training as militiamen or hold other positions, and the elderly or disabled are taken care of by the church.
arrange work.
Matching this is a strict joint-sitting system, in which each household jointly insures each other and has a joint indemnity bond.
This temporary system was recommended to Soshyan by Andal. He told Soshyan that this armor-protecting system was very popular in the Achilles War Zone. Its main advantages were that it could save a lot of military investment and establish a tight security network.
Although this also greatly limits personal freedom, and it is difficult to avoid severe oppression and slavery, freedom is the most useless thing for the empire, and within the empire, oppression and slavery have long been the norm.
