Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 315

315. Chapter 314, Cradle Project

[Mage Academy: When you build an academy that teaches the ability to control psychic power and specific psychic spells, and put it into operation, you can redeem this option and grant it to the designated academy. Slightly improve students’ learning efficiency and slightly increase the probability of activatable loyal talents. New soldiers can be trained: psychics. Redemption value: 5,000 gifts. Training price: 100 gifts/person]

As an academy, the effect of this Mage Academy is similar to the other three, but the bonus of training general talents, training technical talents, and training loyalists is put on training psychics.

It is this price, but it has skyrocketed compared to when those academies were first built.

But Gu Hang still clicked on the redemption without a doubt.

The main reason is that the training of the psychic is too good.

The key is that it is quite suitable for his current situation.

The training of psychics, even if there is a system, also requires the trainees to have psychic talents.

This is very normal. Just like when Gu Hang was training new blood for the Phoenix Regiment, he had to train all the teenagers from T5 to T1 step by step. During this process, when many people were promoted to T3 and T4, they could not continue to train, which meant that the level reached the highest potential of this person.

The proportion of people with psychic talents in the population may be even lower than those with the potential to reach the T1 level.

However, compared with the training of T1 soldiers and the way to train new blood of space warriors, it is much “simpler” to directly train psychics.

First of all, there is no upfront investment.

To train T1 soldiers, you have to train them all the way up. Before training, no one knows whether a young man who has not grown up yet has this potential. Only after training can you know. Therefore, this has resulted in 100 points of grace to train a T1 soldier and 100 points of grace to exchange for a seed. But in fact, Gu Hang has to spend one or two thousand points of grace to screen a new blood of space warriors, and it is good enough to find two or three in the end.

Of course, the extra money is not worthless. They are all thrown into the 10th Brigade as special forces. With exoskeleton armor and more advanced weapons, they are also a strong force.

There is no such concern when training psychics. A person can go to the training interface and take a look. If he can practice, he can practice. If he can’t practice, forget it. There is no upfront cost.

Moreover, the training of psychics is very suitable for Gu Hang.

Where does human psychic talent come from?

To put it bluntly, it is the sensitivity of the human spirit to the source of psychic power – the subspace. Those

with a high level are gifted.

In the past, this was a disaster. Psychics with psychic talents, even those who are so high that they do not need training and naturally master certain supernatural powers, will always hear the whispers of the subspace, will suffer huge mental pressure, and will go crazy. In addition, they themselves will be regarded as beacons connecting to the real world by the evil things that fill the subspace.

A person who controls uncontrollable power and is prone to madness is also prone to attract demons… Obviously, this is the source of disaster. In many places, there is a tradition of witch hunting, in order to eliminate these dangers in advance, thus forming customs and religious regulations.

In fact, in the early years of the entire empire, psychics were also subject to the most stringent supervision, and even a large number of psychic talents would be directly executed.

Until the God Emperor ascended, opened up a part of the space in the warp and established a spiritual network.

Uncontrolled natural wild psychics are still dangerous. They have talents, but they don’t know it. Without anyone to teach and watch over them, they will still be very easy to fall into madness, lose their minds, lose control of their power under the whispers of the warp, and even become a signpost for demons to invade reality.

However, trained psychics can direct their psychic acumen to the spiritual network built by the God Emperor, so that they can use psychic power safely. They will not be targeted by those malicious demons in the warp, and the probability of falling into madness and losing control of their power is greatly reduced.

This makes psychics truly a part of humanity that can be used.

At the same time, this also lays the foundation for the importance of the psychic order. They not only train psychics, astropaths, and navigators, but also collect wild psychics.

Those who can be saved will be trained into legitimate psychics, and those who have gone crazy and been corrupted by demons will be dealt with.

In such an environment, Gu Hang “happened” to have two things that were related to him.

First, he got the authority to establish a branch of the Psychic Order on the Wrathful Owl Star from Zhang Guangen, the leader of the Psychic Order. This was something he had to do, and he could get an angle from the Psychic Order to get a ticket to touch the upper-level imperial power field.

Secondly, Gu Hang “happened” to control a piece of the Warp Kingdom. Psychics are essentially sensitive to the Warp, which should not be cultivated, but is innate. But for Gu Hang, it was not. Unless they are the so-called “untouchables” who are completely insulated from the subspace, as long as they have a little bit of psychic talent (in fact, most humans have it), Gu Hang can turn them into psychics.

Even if they have the most stubborn constitution, if they are stuffed into the Kingdom of God for ten days or half a month, they will be thoroughly baptized by the subspace from head to toe, and their sensitivity to psychic power will be instantly improved. After coming back and cooperating with the system and undergoing military training, they will definitely be able to become psychics.

Of course, there is no need to do things so extreme. Gu Hang is not going to create a society where all the people are psychics. The reality veil of the Wrathful Owl Star is much thinner than that of other planets due to the existence of the Kingdom of Storm God, otherwise there would not be resources such as spiritual gas fields. Gu Hang even suspects that this cult, that cult, and the Iron Man Rebellion are all closely related to the thin reality veil of this planet.

In this environment, the probability of psychics appearing among the people of the Wrathful Owl Star is higher. Not to mention that now that Gu Hang has mastered the Kingdom of Storm God, it is harmless but has a large-scale impact on the entire planet, and there will be quite a lot of psychic talents.

In fact, the original Angry Owl Sect is an example. It is very rare to have a high-level psychic in other places, but there are a lot of sorcerers among them.

Of course, there are still some differences. After all, psychics are “scholars” and “mages”, and they are trained by people with psychic talents. The so-called sorcerers are directly infused with the power of the evil gods, which is a bit similar to Gu Hang’s previous idea of “stuffing a person into the Kingdom of God for baptism”, and the requirements for talent are greatly reduced.

Let’s put this aside. After being able to cultivate psychics almost at will, the benefits that Gu Hang can get are obvious.

First of all, the number and quality of psychics double determine the status of the Angry Owl Star Psychic Order he leads in the entire Psychic Order system. This is the quality of the “admission ticket to the high-level power field” he thought of before.

Moreover, the psychic order can ask the empire for funding, and the amount of funding depends directly on the size of the order.

Secondly, the more psychics are trained, the greater their value.

The combat effectiveness of psychics is very strong. At low levels, they are not very reliable and may not have a powerful laser gun, but who stipulates that psychics cannot hold a gun themselves? What’s more, they have a higher development ceiling. When they reach the level of C, which is about the ability of Gu Hang himself at level two or three, they can already affect the victory of a company-level battle.

They also have strong functionality, and are a good supplement to conventional elite forces in reconnaissance, interrogation, infiltration, special operations…

Moreover, we should not only focus on fighting and killing. After the astropaths are trained, the astropathic tower can be built, which is a powerful export weapon; the star guides are even more necessary for ships for interstellar navigation.

After these people are trained, whether they are used by Angry Owl Star itself or sent out to work for others to earn wages, it is good.

Especially the fact that they go out to earn wages is not because Gu Hang is black-hearted, but it is a common practice under the system of the Psychic Order.

The Navy, various planets, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, the Mechanicus, the State Church… and even the Space Marines, as long as there is a need for interstellar navigation and interstellar communication, they have to ask the Psychic Order for people. When people go, they have to pay, and part of this money will belong to the order that trained the psychic.

Whether it is a regular share or a one-time buyout training fee, anyway, it is a huge profit to raise one.

And the best part is that even though psychics work for others, the actual jurisdiction is still in the order to which they belong. Once summoned, they can be recalled, and the only thing they have to do is pay some money. When the contract expires, they can choose not to renew it.

As an organization of the highest level that can even enter the Imperial Supreme Council, the Psychic Order is not as large as the Mechanicus or the State Church, but it still has a certain confidence.

Gu Hang has a lot of motivation to train psychics.

The construction of the Mage Academy has already been selected. The Minister of Education also came to ask about the name of the academy. Gu Hang almost blurted out “Hogwarts”, but he held back in the end.

He decided to be honest.

“Let’s call it Storm Mage Academy. The future Mage Corps will also be called this name.”

…

In terms of construction, Gu Hang spent a total of 11,500 points of grace.

He still has more than 40,000.

The second big expense is on talent.

In the alliance, people like Ossena, Yan Fangxu, Perbov, Thadius, Wu Jiarong, etc., Gu Hang activated them with the [Hero] system.

He has experienced the benefits of activating heroes. No matter what their initial qualifications are, after being activated as heroes, not only will their current abilities be greatly improved, but they will also gain high growth potential.

Not only can the level be improved with the experience of doing things, and the ability will be improved, but the so-called rarity will also grow – but it is much more difficult, and it seems to require some key opportunities.

But no matter what, these early activated “heroes” have now grown into independent figures in various fields of the alliance.

Then next, we must continue to work hard.

In the past, when the alliance had only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people, and at most hundreds of thousands of people, there were several candidates who could be activated. Now, the total population of the alliance is 45 million, and even the number of non-military government civil servants has reached nearly 130,000. The number of [heroes] that can be activated has naturally increased significantly.

So far, Gu Hang can see more than 500 activatable [Heroes] in his talent interface.

This is a very large number.

Gu Hang himself was complaining in his heart, what kind of [Heroes] are these, they are wholesale, right?

However, from another concept, they can be understood as people with the potential to become [Heroes].

Most of them are the most ordinary N-level. There are less than 20 people who have reached the R-level and above, and there is only one SR-level.

Gu Hang plans to activate them all, which is nothing more than 6,000 points of grace.

Some of them are already in important positions; some are still unknown.

For the former, there is nothing to say, and Gu Hang will not give them any special treatment. After their [Hero] attributes are activated and their own abilities are greatly improved, I believe they can stand out in their original lives and work under the alliance system.

As for the latter, Gu Hang plans to promote them to some higher positions.

Talents in government affairs and talents in business have corresponding positions for them under the alliance system. It won’t be too high, but at least it will be a position that can give full play to their abilities to a certain extent. For example, the deputy director of an office, the deputy of a project, the deputy manager of a factory…

In the army, command-type talents will be given positions at about the deputy company level or the regular platoon level; individual talents will be transferred to the 10th Brigade.

In these positions, Gu Hang believes that most of them can show their talents.

Of course, before that, they have to undergo a special training.

Gu Hang wrote a list of these more than 500 people and handed it to the Alliance Government. Later, officials from the Ministry of Education will check their resumes according to the list, mainly to see if they have studied at Zhongsi College.

And the twenty R-level and one SR-level were specially marked by Gu Hang.

They will not be forced to grow, and they will be treated the same as others. However, in the alliance’s top management, the names of these people have been specially marked, and they will also receive more attention.

As for the training of such a large number of people, Gu Hang gave it a name, called the “Cradle Plan”.

I hope that a group of true heroes can emerge from this cradle.
