It looks bigger inside than it does from the outside.

At the very front is a ceremonial square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The old-style military assembly areas are preserved on both sides of the square.

Further inwards, you'll find the true administrative buildings.

Guilliman said as he walked:

“There is a complete military camp on the east side.”

"If you only leave behind the direct combat sequence and the heavy guard, that will be enough."

"The west side originally belonged to the Imperial Regent Government's directly subordinate forces, and had its own weapons depot, armory, and training ground."

"The landing pad behind can be used to deploy Flying Bear motorcycles."

"If large mechs are needed, Wolverine and Sabretooth can also enter the outer underground hangar."

Lawson nodded.

This will be useful.

Guilliman continued:

"The southern district is close to the palace and is mainly for administration and reception. It has seventeen council chambers, the largest of which can accommodate 20,000 people."

"There are also hundreds of small meeting rooms. You can handle any meetings you have with the High Lord, the military, the governor, or the alien mission here."

The three entered the central hall.

There is a strategic command room at the back of the hall.

When the ancient system restarted, a three-dimensional star map of the entire Milky Way appeared in mid-air.

Tens of thousands of star nodes lit up one by one.

Lawson looked up and said, "Replace all the equipment and connect to the dark side of the Empire."

"Access fleet, cornerstone sequence, arsenal, sector administrative nodes and frontline sub-brains."

"From now on, this will be one of the dominant nodes in Terra."

Guilliman immediately understood the meaning behind it.

"Are you planning to integrate the administrative system into Terra?"

"Now that I'm here, why would I leave the system on Vigilant Planet?"

That evening, the metal plaque atop the former government building, which had been vacant for ten thousand years, was reactivated.

The faded, ancient symbols were not removed.

The engineering unit simply added new text below it.

The Imperial Seal Holder's Office.

Six high Gothic characters lit up one by one in the setting sun.

Higher up, the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle spreads its wings.

Below is Lawson's own seal of authority.

The reopened complex can be seen from Lionsgate Airport, the Royal Palace Outer Court, and even from several nearby mega-districts.

Many Terran nobles only fully understood what today meant at this moment.

Lawson took over the old regency government that Makado had once overseen in managing imperial affairs.

Ten thousand years after Macardo's death.

For the first time, Terra had a central residence that truly belonged to the Sealholder.

The highest level of the central main palace.

Lawson pushed open the last door.

Inside was a large office.

The table has been replaced, and so have the chairs.

The old maps on the wall have been preserved.

From the window, you can see part of the Imperial Palace, and further away, in the direction of the Lions Gate.

Army, administrative region, imperial palace.

The three directions all converge here.

The palace lights are gradually being lit up.

In the old government's military camp, the first rotation of combat troops has been completed.

The prayers of the fighting nuns echoed again in the west chapel.

Further away, Flying Bear Motorcycles entered the underground hangar.

The heavily armed Xiongwei team has begun taking over the exterior walls.

Meanwhile, in the data hall, the newly installed swarm nodes have begun to connect to the dark side of the Empire.

Next, it's time to have a proper meeting with the High Lords of Terra, as well as the talents of the State Church and the Mechanicus.

Chapter 293: Lawson's massive investigation leads to a bloodbath in Terra.

The residence of the one who holds the seal is extremely large.

Can you imagine Lawson sitting behind a desk every day, overwhelmed by reports, requests, battle reports, tax documents, and personnel appointments from all over the galaxy, like Macardo in the past or Guilliman today?

Don't even think about it, that's absolutely impossible.

The first thing Lawson did after entering the Seal Holder's Palace was to reorganize the entire administrative structure.

The pass-through windows, review halls, and manual sorting areas that administrative staff had used for tens of thousands of years were all cleared out.

The entire Seal Master's Mansion was directly divided into six major areas.

The central location is the core administrative area.

Three thousand key personnel specializing in administration, data processing, coordination, and resource allocation were included.

They deal with top-level data for the entire empire.

All information entering the Seal Holder's Mansion will first be broken down and verified by the swarm intelligence, and then sent to the corresponding node according to priority.

Outside the administrative area are the five major star domain office areas.

Solar Star Region, Hazy Star Region, Extreme Star Region, Peaceful Star Region, Stormy Star Region.

Based on the existing empire's territory, the five major office areas are responsible for the administrative access of their respective regions.

Lawson directly allocated 300,000 administrative personnel from the foundational sequence, with 60,000 responsible for a large star system.

The truly massive portion lies beneath the five major star regions.

The Empire's existing administrative territory has been further divided into 10,384 star sectors.

Further down are 76,219 sub-sectors.

The work that the empire used to rely on countless bureaucrats to do by hand was directly transformed into a constantly updated network.

More importantly, computing power is not distributed evenly.

The Peace District only needs to maintain a minimal level of administrative oversight.

Once war breaks out, swarm intelligence will immediately increase the computing power weight of the corresponding region.

A typical planetary rebellion only requires the assistance of a few nodes.

If the Tyranid swarm enters a sector, the food, fleets, armaments, population migration, and war potential of dozens of nearby sectors will be simultaneously taken into account.

The larger the scale of the war, the more administrative nodes are mobilized.

When the crisis expands to the star-level, the core three thousand administrative units will directly intervene.

The entire system is like having its own neural reflexes.

Where a problem occurs, the computing power in that area increases; where things are stable, resources are automatically released to other areas.

This is only the first phase.

Of the current 10,384 star sectors and 76,219 sub-sectors, many nodes have only established correspondences.

The swarm intelligence has not yet officially taken over the central administration of the entire empire.

It's just building the framework right now.

But this skeleton alone has already made the Seal Keeper's Office far more efficient than any traditional department in Terra.

As the administrative system began to be restructured, another change was also taking place.

It's faster and has a more direct impact.

Within the first twenty-four hours after Lawson entered Terra, the Imperial military forces in the Solar System, especially those surrounding Terra, began to be incorporated into a unified command system.

This task sounds more difficult than rebuilding the administrative system, but it actually went exceptionally smoothly.

The Solar Starfield is the core of the empire.

The Imperial Navy, the Star Force, the Imperial Palace Guard, the Orbital Defense System, the Imperial Guard, the Battle Sisters, various church armed forces, and numerous military bases scattered throughout the solar system are vast.

These forces were previously under the command of different agencies, and it would take several years to reorganize them all.

Lawson only focuses on key moments.

Sun Lord Leontus was the first to complete the integration with the military command system.

He controls the Empire's largest conventional ground military system and has the highest authority to mobilize the Star Guardian Expeditionary Force.

Leontus remained seated in his original position.

All Marshals of the Astral Army, Army Group Commanders, and senior officers of the Solar System still receive his orders through the existing system.

The changes only occur at the top level.

From this day forward, Leontus's highest strategic node was directly connected to the Sealholder's Palace.
