Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 181

181. Chapter 181, Gu Hang, You Are So Bad

Those who are not happy about the agreement between Gu Hang and Blackbird Heavy Industry are Ye Lixia and Wang Jiarong.

Let’s talk about Ye Lixia first.

This outstanding young woman of the Fofana family has no legitimate position to oppose this matter, but she obviously hopes that Gu Hang and Blackbird Heavy Industry will fail in the talks. Even in several phone calls, she made it clear that as long as the talks failed, she could completely block the connection between Blackbird Heavy Industry and Starry Sky. In a veiled way, it was said that the behavior of Blackbird Heavy Industry not paying taxes was rebellion and contempt for the authority of the Governor.

Gu Hang evaded it all.

It is your business to attack the Fachers family. If you don’t benefit me, why should I be your thug?

Even if one day in the future, when Gu Hang wants to completely unify the entire planet, he will inevitably confront Blackbird Heavy Industry, but that is not now.

There is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests. Future conflicts will not delay making a fortune now.

Ye Lixia was completely helpless about this.

Gu Hang did not label anyone as a traitor to the Empire and approved their interstellar trade; the Beautiful Girl was a legitimate member of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and had the qualifications to trade. The two parties were engaged in legal trade, and she had no suitable reason to attack and sabotage them.

She could only hold her nose and watch Wang Jiarong, who represented the Gu’s Company, exchange materials with Blackbird Heavy Industry, who represented the Fachers family, ship after ship, and she was so angry that her teeth itched.

In the most recent communication with the surface, she vented her anger on Gu Hang, asking him when he could find a suitable battle for the now injured Quintet to fight and earn some merits?

She even lost her temper and “threatened” a few words:

“If you can’t find some suitable merits, I won’t stay!”

Facing the petty Ye Lixia, Gu Hang smiled and comforted her a few words, and painted a few cakes before feeding her, so that she could go back contentedly and continue to wait.

When Ye Lixia came to her senses, she found that she seemed to have been fooled by Gu Hang again, and she couldn’t help but get angry again.

She also had a very bad idea: This Gu Hang, is he using this incident to help the Gu family repair the relationship with the Fache family? The money paid by Blackbird Heavy Industry is essentially a goodwill to the Gu family?

In fact, is there any unknown sinister business in it?

Thinking of this, Ye Lixia was even more annoyed.

“Gu Hang! You are so bad!”

…

“Cousin, you are so bad!”

Wang Jiarong complained to her cousin during the call.

“I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.” Gu Hang denied three times in a row.

Wang Jiarong rolled her eyes. She had a better relationship with Gu Hang, so some questions were asked more directly: “Cousin, tell me the truth, do you still not want to reconcile with your family, and think it’s better to hold on to the head of Pedes?”

“I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.” Gu Hang denied three times in a row again.

But to say that he didn’t think of this?

That’s not necessarily true.

Blackbird Heavy Industry has suffered a heavy loss this time, and the 3.5 million tax coins are very painful for them. Gu Hang’s surname cannot be changed after all, he is a member of the Gu family. It is said that the Fachers family doubts whether the Gu family is sincere in repairing their relationship with them. The Gu family is also very dissatisfied with Gu Hang’s behavior. Several messages have been sent to him, but Gu Hang did not answer them.

Why bother with him? Does it have anything to do with him? Can you make decisions just because you have the same surname Gu?

In general, Ye Lixia and Wang Jiarong thought too much, or they thought too little.

Governor Gu, he doesn’t intend to hug anyone’s thigh, but he intends to fleece anyone.

Why should I follow the Pedes brothers? They made a governor’s appointment letter that seems to be of high value, but in fact they want to use me to drag my mother into the water. A cruiser was sent over to help, but they didn’t give any resources for building the planet.

Gu Hang is impossible to be grateful for this.

Dream on.

The same goes for Gu’s and my mother’s side. In order to avoid being dragged into the water, they cut off their ties ruthlessly. So what? Who needs to rely on you?

Gu Hang didn’t regard any of them as enemies, but there was no need to regard them as his own.

Fair cooperation and win-win transactions. If the price is right, we will do it. If it is not, we will definitely do it next time.

This is the attitude in Gu Hang’s heart.

Of course, you can do it, but there is no need to say it directly, as it will hurt feelings.

With Gu’s side, it’s like, we are one family and   we don’t have to talk about other people ‘s affairs; with the leader   , it’s like, I will do my best to repay you for your kindness.

No problem. Gu Hang didn’t want to talk more about this with Wang   Jiarong, so he changed the subject and talked about another thing: “By the way, I already have a demand list for the goods on your merchant ship, and I already know how to pay.” Wang Jiarong rolled her eyes: “The money that Blackbird Heavy Industry gave you, right?”   Gu Hang also smiled: “Yes! That’s right! They are really kind people!”   He didn’t intend to keep the 3.5 million tax coins that Blackbird Heavy Industry promised to give him, and he couldn’t lay eggs.   As for using tax coins to offset taxes later? That won’t work either.   Wealth is worthless if it’s not used. Gu Hang would rather invest all of them in production and territory development.   As for taxes? Let’s talk about it in a year and a half.   The greater the investment and the more output from Gu Hang’s territory, the less of a concern the imperial tax will be.   As for the things Gu Hang wants to buy, many of them are related   to Space Marines. First of all, they are the things he promised to give to Space Marines.   He promised to bring a high-quality advanced gene studio that can perform gene implantation surgery to the Phoenix Regiment.   Wang Jiarong quoted a price of 500,000 tax coins for this set of equipment.   According to her, this thing is not expensive, and some powerful regiments also use this thing. The success rate of gene seed implantation surgery mainly depends on the qualifications of the person undergoing the surgery; in addition, it depends on the level of genetic technology of the person performing the surgery.   In general, a regiment will have a special position called “pharmacist” to be responsible for this work, including collecting gene seeds from comrades on the battlefield and creating new soldiers to provide new blood for the regiment.   At present, the Phoenix Regiment does not have this position, but it is said that the old priest Rizzo used to work as a pharmacist. I just hope he is not unfamiliar with it now.   In addition, a set of Terminator power armor is needed, which is also what Gu Hang promised to give to Martins.   The price of this set of Terminator power armor is 800,000 tax coins.

Looking at these prices, Gu Hang could only say that Space Marine-related things are damn expensive.

Gu Hang has estimated the value of his army.

Currently, he has three types of brigade-level organizations: synthetic divisions, motorized infantry divisions, and garrison divisions.

The most expensive army, which is the mechanized synthetic brigade like the 1st Wind-Quiet Brigade and the 13th Brigade, has a total cost of about 200,000 tax coins, including equipment and lives.

The cost of a motorized infantry division is only half of that, only worth 100,000 tax coins.

The garrison division is only worth 75,000.

One Space Marine Terminator power armor is worth the total cost of four synthetic divisions or eight motorized infantry divisions, including the total cost of lives and equipment!

It’s outrageous!

According to Wang Jiarong, she didn’t make much money from the batch of things she sold to Gu Hang. Basically, she sold them to him at the same price as she bought them.

Gu Hang still believed this – he asked Ye Lixia and got a similar answer.

Either of these two women could cheat him, but no matter how good their relationship was when they worked together for benefits, they were naturally conflicted in the matter of trying to win over Gu Hang. If there was a chance, no one would give up on the other.

In the case that the price was not a problem, Gu Hang couldn’t help but doubt the cost-effectiveness of this thing.

Can a Terminator veteran kill eight divisions?

Gu Hang didn’t believe it.

Even if you pile it up, it will kill you. No matter how thick the Terminator armor is, it is still a single-soldier armor. The 155 gun can’t open a can. Fire a hundred or a thousand rounds, the machine guns on the armored vehicles bombarded, the explosive machine guns fired hard, and the cans could be smashed by firepower.

It’s nothing more than a few more deaths.

However, he soon realized that the account couldn’t be calculated in this way.

If you have a top-level individual soldier and use him to fight against the regular army, it means that the commander is crazy.

In some key strategic nodes, some places where the enemy cannot deploy heavy firepower, some special combat missions, in short, places where large-scale troops cannot go, these super soldiers can show a higher value than a large army.

But no matter what, this total of 900,000 tax coins is what Gu Hang promised to give to Phoenix, so he should keep his promise.

Anyway, Martins, who took the Terminator, also worked for him, and rounding it off is equivalent to buying it for himself.

The same is true for the gene seed implantation equipment.

In addition, Gu Hang also bought 20 sets of unpainted, brand new space warrior power armor.

They are the seventh-generation tactical power armor, known as the “Skyhawk type”, which is the most common, most widespread, and… cheapest power armor. The most typical feature is the breathing grid on the helmet.

But it is still worth 40,000 tax coins per set.

A total of 20 sets of tactical power armor cost Gu Hang another 800,000 tax coins.

This made him sigh: “Now I know why a Space Marine regiment needs an entire planet as its home planet to supply them with resources. Poorer planets really can’t afford it.”

Wang Jiarong sneered: “This is just the beginning. Your current investment in the regiment has not even touched the more expensive level.”

She was right.

A standard regiment not only needs armor and superhuman warriors, but also various vehicles and equipment unique to Space Marines, a large number of auxiliary troops, and even a fleet.

Especially at the fleet stage, it is a bottomless pit for capital investment.

But fortunately, Gu Hang doesn’t need to worry about these things now, and he may never configure a fleet belonging to the regiment for the Phoenix alone, which is not in his interest.

He just needs to meet the current needs of the Phoenix. He can always afford the four living warriors.

Gu Hang only plans to give Martins five of the 20 sets of tactical power armor he bought. The reason is that it is a gift for the other two warriors besides Martins and Rizzo who have special armor, to replace their old battle-hardened and tattered armor.

The old armor will be given to Gu Hang, saying that it is used to trade in.

Of course, Gu Hang actually kept it for himself.

There are also three armors, which are gifts for the three new Space Marines who are coming.

As for the remaining 15 sets, Gu Hang plans to keep them for himself first.

If there is still a need after the Phoenix, then some of these 15 sets can be taken out for them.

It is also possible that Gu Hang will try to exchange gene seeds and create new Space Marines in the future, and these armors can also be used.

The Angry Owl Star is still a long way from being able to manufacture Space Marine power armor. Gu Hang doesn’t even know what level the manufacturing technology of power armor is in the technology tree interface.

Anyway, it is definitely not the basic level or the advanced level.

If you want to extract it, it is estimated that it is still a long way behind.

At present, the only way for him to obtain armor is through interstellar trade.

Then don’t miss this opportunity.

After the departure of the Beautiful Girl, it is unknown when the next large-scale caravan will come.

In addition to these armors, Gu Hang also bought some other things that the Wrathful Star is unlikely to produce in the near future.

For example, hot melt weapons, power weapons, etc.

These things will also be given to the Phoenix Warband in part, and they will also keep some for themselves.

In any case, the four warriors of the Phoenix Warband have upgraded their weapons in this wave. Not only did the warband leader Martins get a Terminator power armor, but all weapons have also been upgraded.

If they encounter some orc heavy armor bosses, greenskin warlords, etc., at least they have some means to deal with them, and the fight will not be so tragic.

These weapons and equipment cost Gu Hang another 400,000 tax coins. The most expensive one is a “Blade of Honor” type power sword, worth 200,000 tax coins. Gu Hang gave it to Martins and replaced the chainsaw sword in his hand with a chain that was almost broken.

With this calculation, 3.5 million was extorted from Blackbird Heavy Industry, and 2.5 million was gone in a snap.

There was still 1 million tax coins left, which Gu Hang did not keep.

He bought a lot of odds and ends, including soilless planting farm technology, water purification technology, high-quality grain populations…

These technologies and equipment can help Gu Hang build five large soilless farms. This type of technology should be consistent with the technology used by the Western Desert people on the Angry Owl Star in the pre-war era.

With these five large farms, plus the synthetic starch technology production line that Wu Jiarong has conquered, the alliance’s food self-sufficiency rate can be greatly increased.

There is no need to say much about the equipment and technology for water purification. The water on the Angry Owl Star is not particularly clean, so any solution is a good solution. This set of equipment can handle wastewater treatment and reuse, and even seawater desalination.

In addition, a power exoskeleton production line has been introduced.

This thing is also quite expensive. Gu Hang estimated that it should be considered advanced technology, or the better ones among the basic technologies.

However, this thing is far from the real power armor. It is not difficult to realize. After introducing the production line, it can be mass-produced, and it will also facilitate Wu Jiarong’s subsequent reverse technology. As long as he conquers it, he can expand the production line himself.

At this point, the last one million tax coins have been spent.

————

The setting of the exoskeleton is similar to that of the movie Edge of Tomorrow. I’ll put a picture later.

In addition, a sentence was deleted about the farm. Are the four words “jiti farm” so sensitive? If you delete it, why don’t you keep the second half of the sentence about the food self-sufficiency rate? . . .

It has been added.
