Chapter 520, Come and Steal

In the Dragon Eagle Star Region, no one can ignore the existence of the Mingyang Sect.

These oilmen suffered a great loss in the Iron Tooth War. Their pride, the precious mechanical ark, was destroyed in the war. Moreover, Jindi Star was directly attacked by the Iron Tooth Greenskins on the ground. This forging world was even the primary target of the Greenskins. The tragic ground war may not have lasted too long, but the intensity of the war was quite high.

This kind of war that occurred in its own core base camp was very destructive.

A large number of industrial facilities were damaged to varying degrees, and there were considerable personnel losses, which greatly reduced the productivity of Jindi Star.

In addition to these basic things, the more serious loss was the loss of senior technicians in the war.

More than 20 ruling bishops died in the war. As for the next level, they can be regarded as the high-level of the Mingyang Sect, the main business sage, and there were deaths.

The Mechanicus is very special in this respect. As high-level personnel, they hold power and command military forces. When the war starts, they will not lead the troops, but at least they will be in the army. Many fighting methods and war weapons in the Mechanicus do require high-level Mechanicus members to handle, otherwise there will be problems with operation.

The ruling bishops who have undergone a lot of mechanical transformation and even directly control certain war machines, and even the main business sages, actually have quite strong combat power.

However, although these ruling bishops and main business sages have the composite value of management, command, and high-end combat power, in the final analysis, their most important identity is technical value.

Almost everyone above the level of ruling bishops has mastered a certain key technology with a strong irreplaceable role.

When they die, this technology will not be lost, and there will generally be some records. Anyway, the person is dead, so it’s always okay to search his independent laboratory and workshop.

However, after getting the data, you have to master it again and learn it again, not to mention that if the data is damaged or missing, or the laboratory is destroyed in the previous war... These will lead to losses in technical details, which will in turn affect the production capacity of some equipment.

Not only mass-produced equipment, but also after losing these engine prophets, ruling bishops and even main business sages, the production of some precision products will be completely ruined.

The production of precision products requires top technicians like them to perform manual polishing and manufacturing. The so-called "handmade" is put in quotation marks because the bodies of the senior members of the Mechanicus who have undergone significant transformation, and the mechanical arms that extend from under the red robes, are more precise than conventional lathes and machines.

Their bodies are essentially high-precision integrated workbenches.

And after the loss of a large number of senior members, the number of these non-mass-produced precision products that symbolize the foundation of the Mechanicus will also be greatly reduced.

Production capacity loss, technical loss, personnel loss... The Iron Teeth Green Tide is a catastrophe for the Mechanicus.

After the victory of the war, they didn't even get any benefits.

Although the Mingyang Sect expanded its power from the original Jindi Star to the entire Steel Fire Dragon Star after the war, and also occupied the two surrounding Dragon Tamers and Dragon Pass Stars.

But in Gu Hang's opinion, it was a more self-protective operation.

For the Mechanicus, they don't really care about the territory. What they care about most is technology; the second is precious raw materials; the third is production capacity...

Other things have to be put in the back.

After the Iron Tooth War was won, did they get enough supplements in these three parts?

No.

Expanding the controlled area is something that must be done. They have to replenish the supply of raw materials and manpower from these occupied places to ensure that the reconstruction and recovery of Jindi Star becomes smoother.

But in fact, they don't have to do this.

These planets were originally the most important raw material and manpower supply places for the Mingyang Sect.

However, in the green tide, these places were also invaded by the greenskins.

In order to quickly eliminate the greenskins' infringement on the source of raw materials and manpower, they went out to clean up everywhere.

Later, when the Alliance and the Fury of Flame War Group confronted each other, the Mingyang Sect had no interest in it. They just firmly occupied the sphere of influence that originally belonged to them, turned a blind eye to the disturbances in the outside world, and only cared about licking their wounds.

Don't bother with either side, I won't help anyone, whoever provokes me I will do it.

That's about the attitude.

Fury of Flame and the Alliance will naturally not provoke them.

After the confrontation between the Alliance and Fury of Flame ended, the Mingyang Sect still occupied the territory of three star regions. The Alliance had just taken over a large area of ​​the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, and it was too late to digest these fruits, so how could it have time to think about the Mingyang Sect?

However, not caring about it for a while does not mean that it will never care about it.

The three star regions of Steel Fire Dragon, Dragon Tamer, and Dragon Pass are all part of the administrative division of the Dragon Eagle Star Region. As a forging world certified by the Mechanicus, Jindi Star has no affiliation with the Star Region Government. However, they are located within the Star Region after all, so it is impossible that they have no connection with each other.

In fact, Gu Hang has ambitions for Jindi Star.

It's not that Gu Hang wants to take the risk of the world and occupy and control Jindi Star.

It's impossible and unnecessary.

However, as a serious forging world, Jindi Star is the strongest in the entire star field in terms of production capacity.

The Mingyang Sect is not famous for its shipbuilding industry, but the shipbuilding industry that the Alliance has now developed is nothing more than similar to that of Jindi Star.

They have announced the restart of the construction of the mechanical ark; and they have suspended all external orders. The two battlecruisers and eight cruiser docks are fully operational, and the ships built must be kept in the new fleet.

The Mingyang Sect has indeed not suffered such a big loss for many, many years.

After this time, they decided to learn a lesson.

External orders are nonsense, and the most important thing is to be strong!

If the Mingyang Sect had not sold every battlecruiser it had produced in the past, and kept six, seven or eight more in its fleet, would it have been so miserable during the Iron Teeth Green Tide?

Absolutely not!

The situation is similar for other production capacity.

On Jindi Star, the most severely controlled production capacity is the construction of starships.

Other production capacity is not to completely reject external orders, but at least it has been greatly reduced. The Mingyang Sect is determined to greatly strengthen its military strength until they feel safe. Moreover, a considerable part of their production capacity must be invested in the reconstruction of their own planet, and they are not so rich that they can accept external orders.

But Gu Hang's headache is here.

He has a lot of money in his hands now. Not only the financial income of the Alliance and the saved imperial taxes, but also the war support given by the Eastern Universe. With this money, he hopes that the Mechanicus can manufacture some equipment for the Alliance.

Especially starships.

However, in many communications, the Mingyang Sect decisively rejected the Alliance's demand for purchasing ships.

Even if Wu Jiarong mediated, it would not work.

...

All these intelligence were revealed by Wu Jiarong in her communications with the Alliance and Gu Hang again and again.

Her current status is incredible.

Back then, when she was sent by Gu Hang to the Mingyang Sect for "exchange and study", she obtained formal identity certification in the Mingyang Sect and became a formal ruling bishop.

In theory, this was Wu Jiarong's ultimate goal when she came to Jindi Star.

After becoming the ruling bishop, she should return to the alliance and continue to preside over the work of the alliance's secret research institute, and by the way, she can start planning to establish a small mechanical sect belonging to the alliance.

The ruling bishop is barely qualified for this.

However, no one expected that the Iron Tooth War broke out so suddenly and the progress of the war was so fast.

The east and west were isolated within the star field, and Wu Jiarong could not come back, so she could only follow the Mingyang Sect.

As a ruling bishop, she certainly participated in this war.

And her performance was very, very eye-catching.

The many unique technologies she mastered allowed her to gain a large number of supporters in the war, and also won the appreciation of the casting general Chen Haixu, who gave her a lot of additional resource support.

With the help of these supports, she built a strong army after another, and led them to fight many battles with good results.

After her achievements and reputation became more and more grand, Wu Jiarong soon found that she might even take this opportunity to take a step further and be promoted from the status of the ruling bishop to the level of the main business sage in a short period of time.

This is the title second only to the great sage in the Mechanicus.

There is no real great sage in the entire Mingyang Sect. You need to go to the solar system and the Mars world to get the recognition and assessment of the Mechanicus headquarters before you can be promoted.

In fact, the main business sage also needs to go through this process. However, there are eleven places for the main business sage in the Mingyang Sect. If it is not exceeded, the main business sage elected by the sect can also be recognized.

If it were in the past, an outsider like Wu Jiarong would never think of grabbing such a rare place no matter how great his achievements were.

But didn’t many sages of the main profession die in the war, leaving many positions vacant, and many ruling bishops who were qualified to compete for these positions also died?

This gave Wu Jiarong hope.

Chen Haixu hinted to Wu Jiarong more than once that as long as Wu Jiarong promised not to return to the Alliance and stay in Jindi Star wholeheartedly in the future, the position of the sage of the main profession could be given to Wu Jiarong.

Wu Jiarong agreed without hesitation on the surface.

She made a judgment in her heart at that time. In front of Chen Haixu, she could not make any other reaction.

Otherwise it would be too abnormal.

In the ‘hometown’, in Jindi Star, a serious forging world, the title of a sage of the main profession, how great a temptation is this for a member of the Mechanicus?

If it was the identity of the ruling bishop, it would be fine. There are many ruling bishops in Jindi Star, dozens or hundreds of them, and their preciousness is limited; when you go outside, such as to the Alliance, there are at most two or three ruling bishops, and their status is different.

Some ruling bishops who don't want to continue to roll in the Forge World will indeed choose to jump out.

But the main business sage is different.

Once Wu Jiarong became a master of the main profession, she would become one of the eleven people with the highest status on Jindi Star and a true ruler.

According to common sense, if she had any hesitation, she would look very fake.

However, she knew clearly that she could not leave the alliance so easily. The secrets of Governor Gu that she knew were too important. Once she left, Governor Gu would definitely kill her.

It only took a thought. Her soul had long been sold to Governor Gu.

As long as she dared to betray him, Gu Hang could easily wipe out her soul, and there would be no loss: so many black boxes could train one of her, and immediately train another senior member of the Mechanicus.

And, even if this was not the case, she didn't want to leave the alliance so much.

She used to be just a low-level technician who could be driven out of the forge world at will. What made her grow up in just twenty years?

It was the countless black boxes in Governor Gu's hands.

She felt that she still had room for improvement.

Everyone thinks that the fastest progress must be made in the Forge World, but she knows that the fastest progress must be in the secret research institute of the Alliance.

Although she has studied many black boxes owned by the Alliance in the past, she knows that Governor Gu can come up with a new one every once in a while. Moreover, the technology represented by these new black boxes is often constantly improving.

After leaving the Alliance for such a long time, she didn't know what black boxes Governor Gu had obtained, and she was itching to do it.

So, after having to agree to Chen Haixu on the surface, Wu Jiarong immediately reported the message to Gu Hang and found an opportunity to have a star language call with Gu Hang.

During the call, she fully expressed her loyalty and said in a very sincere attitude that she would completely follow Gu Hang's instructions on what to do next.

Gu Hang was actually not worried that Wu Jiarong would leak the secret.

She couldn't do it.

When he let her go to the Mingyang Sect, Gu Hang had already dealt with her soul.

Now, when he knew that Wu Jiarong had a chance to go further, Gu Hang rejected the idea of ​​picking up Wu Jiarong who had sneaked out.

He asked Wu Jiarong to accept Chen Haixu's conditions and become one of the eleven main sages of Jin Dixing.

Since the Mingyang Sect could not be dealt with by conventional means, why not use other methods to "steal" Jin Dixing?
