Warhammer: Start with a dog.

Chapter 577 The Second Story
Let's turn our attention to places farther away that are more lively and traditional.

For example, because the enemy that the Chief Librarian and the Primarch Saint said would come did not appear after waiting for a long time, the Ascension of Sanguinius and the Emperor's Ascension the following week began to be celebrated in Magna, the capital of Macragge, in a serious, tense yet lively atmosphere. Let me tell you the second... story.

In the last year of the forty-first millennium, although the universe suddenly realized that something should happen and so many more large and small unexpected events occurred than usual, here, in the five hundred worlds of Macragge, due to the spatial sense of a galaxy and the large and stable input of agricultural and by-products, what happened in other parts of the empire did not affect the sacred, rich and joyful festive atmosphere in Magna City and Hera Fortress.

Housewives, housekeepers, and cooks in the city have begun scrambling to purchase and stockpile fresh ingredients for the festival. According to previous habits, even if people knew that prices would rise during the festival, they would not choose to buy so many fresh vegetables or meats. Instead, they would make a detailed and reasonable combination list, ranging from fresh ingredients that must be eaten on the same day to foods that can be hung outdoors in colder weather, to pickled meats wrapped in coarse salt, baked starch cakes as hard as stone, to canned foods and various sauces served with hot water and soups boiled with plant roots.

A housekeeper's or cook's ability to manage household chores is largely reflected in the cleverly arranged menu. This practice is actually mainly due to considerations of the shelf life and cost of food. However, a revolutionary product from the distant Bellacan Forge World has recently brought about a great change in this customary arrangement.

When it comes to this revolutionary product that was sold here from across the galaxy, we have to mention some recent events in Wandering Port.

----------

"Well... Bella Karn finally sent a message saying that they have selected a new leadership group... It is composed of the Great Sage and three sages from different research directions. This is really good news. Let me see... As expected, they said that they have completed several assembly lines with higher priority and started to produce samples on the drawings. The samples will be delivered with the next batch of communication ships that come here."

Ramizarn moved off the primarch's magnificent hospital bed and used one leg as a fulcrum to maneuver his proud hips onto an anti-gravity hovering wheelchair - the reason it had wheels was because someone had insisted that a backup mechanical structure must be prepared "in case it suddenly loses power."

Then he pressed a button and floated to the desk that had been serving as a dining table. On the table were neatly ironed documents and some organized data pads. Finally, there was a steaming cup of Rekha coffee and breakfast. The Honor Guard Chief Ahlin had finally traveled thousands of miles back to the Destiny Steel. Between angrily shoveling away the hillock to avenge his father and mournfully rushing into the gladiatorial cage to teach a lesson to every Honor Guard member who had not taken good care of his father, he chose to bathe, massage, blow-dry, trim toenails for the Father of Genes, and work overtime to clean and tidy up the office. He also made a new bed for the humanoid father to express his longing and concern for his two fathers.

So far, it seems that both of his fathers have enjoyed it. It is always a pleasure to have the room, bed and table more tidy and clean - and Perturabo BC did not say it, but his tail was curled up high all day, because when Ramizarn sprained his ankle, he refused to take off the camouflage and let others bathe him, so that later in the meeting, Guilliman was always puzzled and even frowned strangely in the direction of his fourth brother - the illusion camouflage can transform anything, but whether the smell of dog is a completely transformed content is obviously very subtle.

Although Ramezane always said that Perturabo BC "has the most wonderful smell of burnt roasted grain" and "a very intoxicating smell of meat pads", because this person believes that the most perfect thing in the world is his Perturabo, the Fourth Primarch is still very sensitive to Guilliman's expression changes.

Obviously, this last member of the Trident who can make a name for himself with his non-combat skills seems to have a well-planned, clearly defined and understood career, which also ensures that even if he is not here, his fathers will not forget him, and his position will be as stable as a rock among the newcomers who continue to emerge.

Ramizane, who began to read the newly arrived report at a speed almost comparable to that of an ordinary person, suddenly had his eyes light up: Although he did not mention it often, the Forge World of Berakan was indeed a world he had high hopes for. After all, in this Hammer 40,000 universe, if there was any world that was explicitly mentioned as being able to resist the path attack of the Zerg Fleet alone, it would be that there were indeed such warriors in the Forge World of the Mechanicus. Regardless of what happened afterwards, they were repelled anyway.

Moreover, the agricultural production area that was clearly planned at Wandering Port is now under construction. Although the grain and non-staple food processed products from the Knightfort Dynasty Trading Company are indeed abundant and good, as a Seres, things like the red line of cultivated land, grain self-sufficiency rate and strategic grain reserves are completely engraved on the soul. Therefore, the land of Wandering Port as an agricultural production area is not chosen casually. Although it does have some advantages as a transit trade port, the other side of the Big Mouth Storm is the lawless and undeveloped star field, which is destined to have a bottleneck in the increase of its trade level and cannot be improved much in a short period of time. After all, this is not the Age of Exploration of Ancient Terra 40,000 years ago, when expedition fleets could bring back large amounts of gold, ivory, spices, slaves and other hard currencies from the wilderness. Outside the subspace storm here can only be more terrifying and unknown things.

And based on his vague memories of the Calixis and Scarus sectors, as well as the 10th Company's reconnaissance team and some news that Lucius had heard during the time he was honing his skills and maintaining law and order in the shadow of Wandering Port, there were definitely a large number of malicious alien creatures more terrifying than the Hrud infiltrating, lurking and observing this damn place.

Before these horrible things are cleaned up sufficiently, the best arrangement for this place is to develop agriculture and set up some free trade pilot zones. If we want to develop high value-added industries, we have to see if we can come up with something new on the three planets with human settlements, Bella Karn, Carrick and Pearl Moon, which are located in relatively safer areas.

Among them, most of Carrick is almost undeveloped. Even with the addition of more than 20 million Cadian immigrants, the population is only a little over 30 million. Moreover, the planet itself is considered not suitable for large-scale construction before a thorough exploration is completed. As for Pearl Moon, it is a planet covered by oceans, and its humid climate makes it even less suitable for industrial bases.

Only Bellakarn, as a Mechanicus forge world with mature trade routes and a relatively good reputation in the Imperial market for dozens of centuries, is obviously their first choice for developing industrial products. When its stasis field production capacity has not yet fully recovered and its competitiveness in selling traditional naval weapons alone is very low, Ramizarn gave them a lot of ideas to open up new markets and raise funds.

For example, Malcador's hot-selling Royal Anti-Gravity Home Living Set is one of the most successful attempts. However, the audience of these things is limited by the Empire's navigation method and the sales policy of a certain old man, which mainly takes the upper-class route. Recently, the market curve has been close to saturation. In this case, the extremely low-cost but estimated profit of Ramizann's drawings is the hope of their next quarter's financial report. Of course, as a lord without any sense of being a lord, he came up with the idea, and the draft of the drawings was drawn by his powerful, perfect and smart dog. The Decima Sage was disdainful of refining the drawings according to the standard requirements. As a result, such a small matter finally fell on the dimensional iron originally carried by the Iron Blood... Technical Sergeant Vostok Pistonhard.

It is conceivable that the former Iron Warrior Dimension Blacksmith, who had finally returned to his old profession and caught the eye of the Primarch, must have been eager to present the Father of Genes with a perfect blueprint. However, his carefully drawn work cannot be said to be completely heretical and evil, but it is also a far cry from its original design purpose.

A certain Primarch who was happily opening the blueprint and was covered in the face by the wind of chaos commented on this in a similar way:

"Oh my god, how can you be so clever... Who told you to install a bristle amoeba-shaped demon in the robot vacuum cleaner instead of a roller brush?! Huh?! Why is there a fire-breathing demon engine in this multifunctional washing machine?! What? For heating and drying? Then what is this... What kind of demon series of household appliances is this! Isn't there any one that uses normal energy? The Empire has easy-to-use fuel like promethium and normal generators! Don't be too path-dependent!"

Fortunately, Ramizane was present this time, so although Vostok Pistonhard had drawn the blueprints to great lengths, he was still very lucky not to be knocked into the wall by a plush tyrant with a powerful mechanical arm, and then contribute to the expansion of the Destiny Steel Fearless Team. Instead, he was only scolded from his name to the blueprints, and then asked to modify his blueprints on the spot until they could pass the review of the Father of Genes.

Finally, the blueprint of the former dimensional blacksmith was completed, but Vostok, who walked out of the chapter leader's office, looked pitiful like an old white flower ravaged by a storm, with tears in his eyes and his head down. The gene fathers stuffed him with a library card of the Destiny Steel with pitying eyes, so as to complete his punishment as soon as possible: he was required to start retaking a series of majors ranging from mechanical design and manufacturing and automation to new energy vehicle engineering and even agricultural and forestry intelligent equipment engineering, and he needed to pass the final exam with the highest grade point to absolve him of the crime of modifying the original blueprint without authorization.

The reason why Bellacan has not been able to officially start building these new production lines is precisely because of the righteous and unforgettable "Takeover Operation" led by the promising priest brother Julius from the "Silver Skull" regiment. The members of the Supreme Mechanical Sage Council of this Forge World were swept away, and even a few intermediate mechanical sages were not spared. Ordinary slaves and low-level data technicians were not in any serious trouble because they did not come into contact with the chaos pollution of the core.

But someone has to be in charge here, and the understaffed Destiny Steel can't always be left to manage and remotely control it. Finally, the members of Bella Kahn's temporary management committee came up with a very reasonable solution.

Under their orders, the geneticists of the Forge World urgently dug out the inventory of organisms left behind by the mechanical priests who had worked or studied here over the years from the warehouse, and worked overtime to inject stimulating factors, maintenance factors, growth hormones and a bunch of other new and old technologies into them.

In the end, they really managed to cultivate a group of mechanical priest clone apprentices from the cloning tanks. Although their bodies might be full of cruel technology, their brains were of strong quality and could withstand the short-term bombardment and indoctrination of massive amounts of knowledge data. They were used to fill the various middle and low-level positions that had become vacant due to upgrades.

It is said that there are a very small number of extremely gifted and talented scholars among them who have rocketed into the management level. In short, with enough manpower, the new production line of Bellakarn Forging World can finally be opened.

After inspecting and accepting a series of "Warrior" brand home appliances - including refrigerators, sweeping robots, electric heating cushions, toasters, coffee thermos pads and even coffee machines - into the office and ward, and after being personally used by the noble Primarchs and deemed to be inappropriate, these products that were later mass-produced were loaded onto giant freighters from the Far East star region that transported agricultural products - it just so happened that they had been almost empty before because of the small amount of goods that could be brought back. As a long-term partner, the Knightfall Dynasty also responded very positively to this.

Finally, these novel civilian goods were placed outside the shelves of Shen's Kitchen, the most famous chain food store in Macragge, and began to be displayed to the citizens of Macragge under the introduction of professional salesmen.

Among them, after the prices, usage and performance of refrigerators, washing machines and sewing machines were announced together, a buying frenzy was triggered on the same day. Five thousand refrigerators alone were sold, and more than ten times the orders were received. These orders turned into hundreds or even thousands of times the pre-orders after a week, requiring them to pull the goods to the designated port terminal one by one and unload them directly. They wanted as many as possible. Families in Ultramar have suffered from housework for a long time!
For a time, as the best gift for husbands or wives, "Warrior" brand home appliances became the most popular products in the Ultramar star region, and then gradually began to spread outside the star region...

The mortals had more time to rest and do other things, and Mr. Ramizarn and Kant Cratchit earned resources and money.

Everyone was satisfied, except Robert Guilliman, who was puzzled as to why he had been feeling uneasy recently but could not find the reason.
