"Doraemon Workshop can launch a frigate in one Holy Terra day, and if resources are sufficient, they can launch thirty in a month."
"According to the Stellaris combat power algorithm, a frigate has a combat power of 1200."
"This means that Doraemon Workshop's current production capacity can generate nearly 3.6k combat power in one Holy Terra month."
"If the manufacturing scale doubles, it's 7.2k; double again, it's 14k."
"And if armor, shields, artillery, fire control systems, and augurs are all upgraded, combat power will definitely double again, reaching 28k."
"Forming a fleet with several M combat power within five years will be incredibly easy."
Daniel stroked his chin, a smile appearing on his face.
Doraemon Workshop truly gave him a huge surprise.
As expected of something from Paradox Interactive; it may not have other abilities, but when it comes to farming and mass production, it's truly amazing!
At this moment, Daniel suddenly recalled a classic quote from Stellaris.
"Our fleets will blot out the suns, no matter how many there are in the sky."
"Master, I think you're being overly optimistic."
Arale poured cold water on his thoughts.
"The Chaos Gods' power is unimaginably strong; these warships can only ensure our control over the Holy Terra Universe, but they cannot pose a substantial threat to the Gods."
"Please don't interrupt my fantasy moment," Daniel said.
"Alright, Master, Arale was wrong." Arale showed a doting smile.
Daniel: "..."
Sometimes, being too human-like isn't necessarily a good thing!
And what's with that doting smile?!
Who exactly is the Master between us?!
Daniel suppressed his myriad thoughts, reaching out to the control panel to bring up several data interfaces,
which displayed various statistics and event reports for the Calixis Sector.
"Doraemon Workshop's production efficiency proves that humanity's current productivity is sufficient to conquer the entire galaxy, but inefficient administration and communication are hindering development."
"Deep reforms must be carried out to revitalize human civilization."
"Master, what do you plan to do?" Arale asked.
"The reforms in Atoma have shown initial results, proving this path is correct."
"However, the rulers of the various planets in the Calixis Sector are unwilling to make concessions, which makes reforms difficult to advance."
"I must constantly monitor them to ensure that reforms progress steadily."
"If I don't continue to pay attention, they will certainly secretly use various means to resist the reforms, leading to increased implementation costs and ultimately causing the reforms to fail."
Daniel stroked his chin.
Throughout history, the implementation of reforms has always been incredibly difficult, requiring thunderous suppression, supplemented by enticing benefits, until reform becomes an unstoppable torrent, only then can everyone be forced to change.
Before the war with the rebels, Daniel had stated that anyone who failed to defend Imperial territory would lose their legal right to rule.
This measure stripped some vested interests in the Calixis Sector of their foundation, but this was far from enough.
"We need to further develop the Players to unleash advanced labor, and use developed trade and cheap industrial goods to destroy the basic foundations of traditional aristocrats and capitalists."
Policies such as guaranteeing basic rights, increasing investment in education, and improving military benefits have all been written into the laws and regulations of the Calixis Sector government, but the enforcement is far from sufficient, and many powerful figures treat these laws and regulations as mere decorations, completely disregarding them.
Without violent support, laws are an empty talk.
However, to implement these legal provisions and investigate violations on various planets, the Sector government would first have to spend a large sum of money, increasing the budget of the legal department.
This approach is somewhat thankless.
It would not only increase the financial burden, but once something goes wrong, the groups whose interests are harmed would quickly retaliate, leading to the complete failure of the reforms.
Daniel plans to first use commercial means to destroy the self-sufficient, closed economies of various planets, integrating the entire Sector into a large market,
while weakening the influence of those powerful figures, and cultivating a new class of rentiers that he can control.
Then, using economic intervention, supplemented by Imperial law, he would fundamentally change the entire Calixis Sector.
This approach was absolutely impossible to achieve before, because of the risks of Warp travel, coupled with the backward and unstable superluminal communication, building a so-called large market was simply a dream.
Many merchants, to avoid Warp risks, preferred to spend several years traveling at sub-light speed in the Holy Terra Universe to ensure their goods arrived safely.
As a result, they often needed several years to complete a single commercial transaction, which led to the Imperium's inter-stellar commercial trade remaining at an extremely low level.
The efficiency was too low, logistics costs were too high, and product prices were also high; only local powerful figures could afford goods from afar.
Purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables or even fresh air was a privilege enjoyed only by the powerful in most worlds of the Empire.
Now, with lighthouses that can increase the safety factor of the Warp, and instant communication technology, travel costs and risks have decreased, the Calixis Sector will soon usher in an era of great shipping, and goods on many planets will become very cheap, affordable even for ordinary people.
Besides cultivating a new class of beneficiaries to counter the old powerful figures, building a large market is also beneficial for collecting taxes and supporting a large army.
The traditional tithe was like ancient agricultural tax.
Most of the time, the Empire couldn't even collect money, mostly collecting goods.
An army with several M combat power also has astonishing expenses.
If the Empire did not have sufficiently high productivity, it would certainly not be able to support such a powerful fleet.
Building a unified large market, unifying currency, deep reforms, and releasing productivity are all essential tasks.
"What do you think about establishing a dedicated Imperial financial department for local citizens and merchants?"
Daniel looked at Arale, asking for her opinion.
The financial system previously promoted was for the Players.
The financial department to be established now would face the Empire's citizens.
"A financial department?" Arale calculated for a moment before nodding, "Master, this is a very good suggestion."
"If a financial department is established, it can support the development of large enterprises in various ways."
"The more enterprises there are, the more jobs are needed, employment rates will steadily increase, releasing more productivity, and allowing people to live good lives."
The Human Empire was not without finance, but it was at a very primitive and low level.
Currently, even currency cannot be unified.
Aquila medal, throne, Calixis Sector currency, Corin credit points, and so on, all kinds, diverse.
Local banks were equivalent to feudal era money houses, pawnshops, etc., and could not effectively regulate the financial market and promote industrial development.
In fact, it's not just banks; most institutions in the Human Empire, due to Warp travel and communication issues, are at a very primitive and inefficient level.
This leads to severe internal friction within the Empire, forcing it to desperately exploit the lower-class citizens.
These are all key areas for reform.
"You issue a task to Yuji, asking him to conduct an investigation. Then, have him present a feasible implementation plan and departmental structure to me."
Daniel gave Arale the command,
things that can be done by little Players should not be done by oneself.
Exploiting the Players' productivity is an essential skill for every conscientious operator.
"Understood, Master, I will immediately issue him the task." Arale nodded.
Daniel turned his head and continued to examine Doraemon Workshop's applications.
Many projects being researched are things that do not exist in this universe, and require Daniel's approval and review before they can proceed, otherwise, they are very likely to be deemed non-compliant, leading to warnings, fines, or even bans and blacklisting.
1: Optimize the design of CMC Power Armor and Imperial Terminator Power Armor, adding anti-gravity and engine thrusters.
2: Attempt to reduce the cost of cold nuclear fusion batteries for powering Power Armor, artillery, and other equipment.
3: Research the warhammer series of armor.
4: Research the Gundam series of mechs.
5: Research the Viking series of air-to-ground fighter jets.
6: Research nanobiological suits.
…
Daniel read through the list, his eyes widening slightly.
As expected of the number one among farming-type Players, Doraemon Workshop seems to be aiming to replicate things from other games into the Warhammer Universe.
Optimizing CMC Power Armor and Terminator Armor, adding anti-gravity and engine thrusters to increase mobility.
Agreed.
Cold nuclear fusion: Allows nuclear fusion reactions at room temperature and pressure to obtain clean energy.
Once costs are reduced and it's equipped in Power Armor or artillery units, it will greatly enhance the combat power of the Imperial Army.
It will reduce the reliance of various Imperial legions on logistics and give them stronger striking capabilities.
This must be approved.
Mjolnir armor, special armor specifically for Spartan super soldiers, with a complete life support system, shield device, and sensory module, allowing the user's combat power to skyrocket.
The Empire does not lack gene-enhancement technology.
The assassins of the Assassin Temple, for example, are all enhanced to an inhuman degree.
If Doraemon Workshop could truly replicate the Thor's Hammer Battlesuit, they definitely wouldn't lack people who could use it.
Imagine a military green MJOLNIR armor, with a golden-masked helmet.
Always the Master Chief!
At that time, there will definitely be Players cosplaying Master Chief in the game.
Agreed.
"Gundam! That's also a good idea!"
Doraemon Workshop had previously launched the Zaku Mecha.
The Gundam Mecha is an advanced version, fully optimized based on the Zaku Mecha.
It possesses greater strength and physique, faster speed, and fiercer firepower.
It can also use various energy weapons, making it a Mecha 2.0 version.
Simply put, the Zaku Mecha is equivalent to a regular army, while Gundam is equivalent to special forces.
Gundam is a man's dream, agreed.
The Viking fighter jet for both air and ground!
Daniel looked at this application project and recalled the veteran pilot in the Heart of the Swarm cinematic who accidentally hit the landing button.
The pose of transforming upon landing was truly cool, but the way he was instantly killed by a Hydralisk was truly pathetic.
To be honest, Daniel wasn't very optimistic about this project.
As the saying goes, a landed Viking is worse than a dog.
This dual-purpose type will definitely perform very mediocrely in all aspects.
However, the research uses Doraemon Workshop's own funds, so let them be.
Agreed.
Lastly, the Nano Biosuit, this thing is also called Nano Mecha.
It has built-in artificial nano-muscle fibers that can comprehensively enhance the user's physical attributes,
and possesses multiple functions and modes, allowing the wearer to better adapt to various battlefields.
If the Nano Biosuit is developed, Players who haven't become Astartes will receive a major benefit.
Agreed.
Most of Doraemon Workshop's application projects were decent, with no major issues,
and even if they failed, they wouldn't pose any risks.
Daniel then looked through the applications from other Warbands.
"Hunter Demon Battle Group hopes to research Rune Marks to enhance the power of Culexus Assassin."
Runes do not require psychic power; they can be released simply by uttering accurate syllables.
Daniel had always wanted to master this, but he hadn't awakened the relevant skills.
He was also busy and had no time to find corresponding information to learn.
However, he heard that in the Custodes' library, there was a book left by the Emperor titled 'Dark Tongue: From Beginner to Burial'.
"If you want to research it, go ahead. When you've researched it well, I'll just take the ready-made results."
Daniel chuckled.
Agreed.
"The Academy of Agriculture Battle Group hopes to research plant-based biological weapons, creating biological weapons similar to Orks, which are both spores and capable of free movement, satisfying nutritional needs and serving as cannon fodder."
"Warhammer 42K version of Plants vs. Warp??"
The first thought that came to Daniel's mind when he saw the Academy of Agriculture's application was this.
Drooling carnivorous plants running wild, peas that can shoot beans? And explosive chili peppers?
It sounds pretty exciting,
Agreed.
After approving the Players' applications, Daniel asked Arale to prepare for a meeting.
They needed to discuss the preparations for the final battle with various forces,
and also urge the various planets to accelerate the implementation of reform bills to lay a good foundation for the future large market and finance.
......
[Your 'Plant-based Biological Weapon' research plan has been approved.]
In a vast agricultural factory, the lights were now brightly lit.
Huge cultivation tanks were divided into dozens of layers, maintained by floating servo-skulls and servitors.
Water rich in nutrient solution gurgled in the nutrient tanks, and unknown vegetables were greedily absorbing nutrients from the flowing water, their leaves green and growing well.
Mushroom, who was checking the growth of crops, put down his monitoring instrument when he heard the prompt and checked the message.
Upon seeing his application approved, Mushroom excitedly clenched his fists and punched the air a few times.
After entering the game, he hadn't gone into combat.
He and his other companions took out loans to contract an agricultural factory, and then immediately began planting grains and vegetables.
After harvesting, they sold them for throne to repay loans and expand production.
He had forcefully turned Warhammer OL into 'My Farm'.
The Adeptus Mechanicus and those local nobles had no interest in improving the quality of life for the lower classes, always producing the same old things.
The Guide had also forced various regions to improve workers' rights.
With money in their hands, the common people also began to pursue a better life, but their strong demand had nowhere to be released.
As long as the products were good, many people would eagerly buy them.
Especially in agriculture,
as long as they could produce various agricultural products that were good quality and inexpensive, they could make a fortune.
Water mixed with nutrient solution flowed in the cultivation tanks, along with high-yield grain varieties that had undergone multiple genetic modifications.
Within a month, they could cultivate a season's worth of grain.
Vegetables were harvested once a day.
Strong demand and output allowed them to quickly recover funds,
and they also took out multiple loans to expand production and sell agricultural products to more regions.
They also planned to promote new research projects.
Plant-based biological weapons were the Academy of Agriculture Battle Group's initial attempt.
In this universe, war is the eternal main theme.
To expand further, they had to lean towards war.
Of course, this project was not just about manufacturing biological weapons,
but a revolution in the plant field,
giving humanity the technical ability to control plants at will.
Once successfully researched, it could be used not only on the battlefield but also for planetary transformation and even in the field of crops.
"Not only was it approved? They also gave an interest-free loan. It seems the official really encourages ordinary Players to actively explore new technologies and gameplay."
Mushroom smiled, "It's time to get some Orks for research."
"The Mushroom Party is the correct way to play Warhammer OL."
Not just the Academy of Agriculture, other approved Warbands also began their own paths of scientific research.
......
Holy Terra,
Fred scratched his head, pondering the task he had just received in the game.
[Task: Establish a suitable financial department for the Empire and build an effective financial system.
As technology develops, the Empire's various systems are severely lagging, becoming stumbling blocks for humanity's stride towards glory.
The Empire's current financial system is too inefficient and cannot adapt to current development.
Please conduct a detailed investigation of the Calixis Sector and submit a construction report based on the investigation results.
Task Rewards: eagle medal, 150,000 Contribution Points, 5,400 Honor Points, 75,000 Faith Points.
The Empire will bear the expenses required for the investigation.]
The task rewards were generous.
In addition, the official also specially approved several slots for him, allowing him to invite financial talents to enter the game to assist him.
"Who should I find? How about I check on with my frend!"
Fred took out his phone and found his friend's number.
The other party was also a big shot in finance.
The call connected quickly,
"Fred how could you bear to call me?"
"I missed you, what else could it be?"
"Stop it, I'd rather believe that iron trees bloom than believe you'd miss me. Tell me, what's up?"
"Hehe, I just can't hide it from you. It's like this, are you interested in games?"
"No interest, you know, successful people like me never indulge in low-level pleasures."
"That game is very good. Once you experience it, you'll never forget it."
"No interest. I'd rather stare blankly than waste time on games."
"Alright, I'll look for someone else."
Fred was a bit troubled.
Anyone who could make it in the financial field was an elite among elites.
It was difficult to get them to play games with him.
"Fred , I'm not criticizing you, but you're such a big person and still full of thoughts about playing games. You need to learn to be more mature. By the way, what game are you playing that you're so addicted to?!"
"I'm currently playing the internal beta of Warhammer OL. I received a task that requires a few people's help, and the official specially approved a few slots for me to find people to enter the game."
The other end of the phone fell silent. After a while, the other party spoke again.
"Are you talking about that Warhammer OL that's been so hot recently, the one domestic game manufacturers are crying and screaming to get the agency rights for?"
"Yeah, I'm not talking to you anymore, I still need to find people!"
Just as Fred was about to hang up, the other side hurriedly shouted.
"Wait! Fred, what did you just ask me?"
Fred looked confused and repeated his question.
"I asked if you were interested in games?"
A slapping sound of a thigh came from the other side, followed by a loud shout, "Oh my god, how did you know I'm a middle-aged internet addict?! I must play this game, even if it means selling everything and abandoning my wife and children."
"I'm coming to find you now, and then you give me one game slot. I know you have a lot to say, but you don't need to say anything."
"It's settled then, see you in half an hour."
