In two months, a city named New Kurdsburg has risen north of the Agria settlement.
The new city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, located on an alluvial plain at the southernmost tip of the long and narrow main continent of Agria, which is rich in water and grass. It is close to the Tropic of Capricorn. The climate is warm and the spring and winter are very short. The monsoon from the ocean comes every standard year.
It will bring abundant rainfall, thus nourishing the lush green vegetation here.
After many twists and turns, the plant seeds brought by the Korhal people and the animals preserved using embryo freezing technology adapted to the air composition and natural light wavelengths of Agria, and gradually developed an increasingly prosperous population on the planet.
Giant rhinos, iguanas, Umojans, cows and mammoth beetles, native species of the Koprulu sector that have been tamed by humans, were introduced to Agria along with the earth's cattle and sheep. In order to control these docile animals,
As herbivores, the Korhal also introduced their natural enemies: chelicerae, whip-tailed leopards and the famous Korhar wolf.
This fertile land soon gave gifts and gifts to the Korhal people who chose it. The humus soil here can be cultivated to produce rye, wheat and corn without fertilization. The long and stable direct sunlight hours and abundant precipitation throughout the year make it possible
The new settlers began experimenting with another crop from the ancient earth - rice.
Agria's rich marine biological resources also mean that people in the new colony no longer need to worry about protein supplements. The planet's vast ocean has given rise to a complex biological community, similar to ancient organisms such as ammonites and nautiluses.
Communities and early vertebrates evolved diverse biological chains in this ocean.
Fishermen from Korhal soon established the first ocean port in the sea of Agria and named it after a fishing village. Fishing immediately became the focus of Korhal's settlers in Agria.
A pillar industry, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing, make immigrants no longer need to worry about food.
The several crystalline veins and high-energy gas springs in the mountains discovered by geologists and mineralogists around the settlement immediately gave the new Korhal immigrants a shot in the arm.
The newly discovered Adien crystal vein is buried under the deciduous broad-leaved forest south of New Kurdsburg. Two-thirds of the vein is even exposed on the surface, and new immigrants can pick it up casually when walking in the forest.
These beautiful blue crystals, the mining difficulty of this Adeen crystal vein is much lower than that of Korhal IV's deep underground veins.
The high-energy gas refinery with tall alloy chimneys stands among the mountains covered with dense jungle. The workers of the gas refinery started their work in their new home. They drove the SCV space construction engineering vehicle from the refinery.
Remove the sealed cans of green gas from the conveyor belt, and skillfully operate the space engineering vehicle to transport these cans of high-energy gas into the trailer.
Only a few engineers, technicians and supervisors are needed to maintain production in these highly automated factories, and these yellow and black SCVs are like hard-working worker bees in a hive.
The settlement in Agria soon showed a prosperous scene, and their development speed greatly exceeded the imagination of the local immigrants.
When Augustus's revolutionary fleet was preparing to leave the Agria system for the center of the Koprulu sector and enter the core area of the Tyranid Federation, the new settlement established by the Korhal people in Agria was already able to achieve self-sufficiency.
Be self-sufficient and conduct simple trade with local settlers.
At this moment, Augustus, standing on the bridge of the Revolutionary Army flagship Hyperion, was looking at the blue-green Agria and a dark blue companion star through a huge observation window. In Augustus
In front of the holographic projection control panel and console next to the capital are pictures of the city center of New Kurdsburg and pictures taken by geostationary satellites from orbit. All the revolutionary army generals except Warfield, Lundstein and Duke.
Stand by Augustus' side.
The Hyperion is Augustus's first battlecruiser - after the Battle of Tarsonis, the Norad II has always been the flagship of the Revolutionary Fleet, because she is inferior to the Huber with an outdated system.
The Lean is much more advanced in both its weapons system and defense matrix.
It turned out that Augustus was interested in Alpha Squadron's new flagship Norad III and wanted to use it as the new flagship. However, this move was immediately strongly opposed by Duke and criticized by Renault for liking the new and hating the old.
In the end, Augustus reset the Hyperion as the flagship of the Revolutionary Fleet, not because he was a nostalgic man, but because Rory Swann told him that he and Victor Kaczynski had completed the mission to the Hyperion.
The latter firmly claimed that the Hyperion would become the coolest battlecruiser in all mankind.
At the same time, Rory Swann inserted several Void Crystals that the Revolutionary Army had discovered in Mar Sara and the Kedarin Crystals found in the Darin Base of Baishel Tower into the Hyperion's main engine room.
.
Although Swann still cannot figure out how these crystals work, the Xel'Naga and Protoss crystals are indeed able to continuously power the Hyperion's main engines as well as the battleship's life support and weapons systems.
This pure, sharp-edged artificial crystal energy source is inexhaustible. If humans can figure out how it works, then the Protoss Crystal can undoubtedly replace nuclear fusion reactors and power cities, factories, and buildings far beyond the size of a Behemoth-class battlecruiser.
Battleships provide energy. It is foreseeable that in the eyes of the protoss, human nuclear energy is still a primitive and backward technology, and their energy technology is far more advanced than humans.
From orbit, the new Kurdish city is just a silver-grey dot, and as the camera zooms in, you can see its standard colonial grid town. The new city was built by the Revolutionary Army Engineering Corps and Bernard Hansen's Azerbaijan
Built by the Gloria Construction Company, it combines the architectural styles of Tarsonis and Korhal IV. All square box-shaped houses are made of cast silver alloy plates, with sparkling transparent glass and antennas on the houses.
There are no towering skyscrapers or grand buildings with silver alloy frames and glass in New Kurdistan. All buildings are low-rise single-story and multi-story buildings. Only one high-rise building in the city center stands alone.
Two sapphire-blue rivers flow through the center of the city, surrounded by broad-leaved forests that surround the settlement complex. The silver-white buildings in the new Kurdish City seem like white metal shining in the sun.
In order to commemorate the city of Kurdsburg that was destroyed in the Battle of Korkha, and to commemorate the feat in which all adult men and women of this city joined the revolutionary army, making the once prosperous city look extremely deserted, under the instruction of the marshal of the revolutionary army, people built a monument in front of Kurdburg.
With the affix NEW, it will also be called New Kurdsburg.
"We have one more home world." Augustus opened the star map of the Hyperion's route and manually marked Agria in green and marked it to indicate that it was a planet that could be docked.
.
In Augustus's vision, in five years or more, Agria will become a huge granary, providing supplies for the entire revolutionary army.
When building the new colony of Agria, the construction plan also included its dark blue companion star. Augustus planned to build a biological laboratory and an interstellar airport on the companion star labeled Agria I.
, deploy a permanent fleet in this system.
The strategic significance of Agria lies not only in its rich resources, which can provide abundant minerals and nearly inexhaustible food, but also in that it is located in the easternmost part of the planet Koprulu, adjacent to the Kemerian complex planet Meinhof
And the planet Haven to be immigrated to.
If Augustus wants to establish a solid base in the eastern part of the Koprulu sector, then Agria is the best choice. Through the Agria settlement, Augustus can reach Koprulu.
The Byshel settlement on the edge of the zone and several planets occupied by the Tal'darin Expeditionary Fleet can reach the Sara System and Viridia Prime to the west.
"This is a new beginning." Renault, standing next to Augustus, said: "The Keha people have gone through many hardships and finally a new homeland has taken root."
"We finally have a stronghold of our own." The way Tychus spoke was not like a revolutionary soldier whose mission was to liberate all mankind, but like a gangster: "The people on the two planets of Kalis
It takes a lot of time to develop.”
"I think you just want to occupy those two immigrant planets. When there is a territorial dispute with the Federation, the Camorians or some other messy aliens, we can just say that those two planets are invaders.
It has been an integral part of the territory of the Kazakh people since ancient times."
"Haha——" Augustus took one last look at Agria and said to the Hyperion's navigator.
"Second Lieutenant, send us out of orbit. To go to Umo Yang, we need the support of the Umo Yang National Defense Army." He said.
"Where is Ariel Hansen?" As the Hyperion accelerated into the hyperspace channel, Tychus said in a somewhat familiar tone of Augustus: "Why don't you take your little lover away?
I thought I couldn’t see you flirting with her if she wore glasses~”
"Why are you willing to leave that little black-haired beauty in Agria? I can't bear to-"
"Don't act like a pedophile, Tychus, Augustus is not as bad as you." Before Augustus could speak, Kerrigan pointed at Tychus' nose and cursed.
"She is right, Tychus," said Augustus.
"Tychus, everyone knows you are a bastard." Raynor also helped Augustus speak.
"Come on, you are just jealous of the boss." Harnack would speak from Augustus's point of view in everything.
"Ariel Hansen is going to college in Tarsonis soon. How can she join us as a revolutionary army? This is a revolution. Do you think she is playing house or being a dashing bandit?" Renault said.
.
"That's what I said... You shouldn't be like this, right?" Tychus was speechless by the rebuke. He originally just wanted to tease Augustus.
"Especially you, Jimmy, the revolver in your hand was something I fought tooth and nail to snatch from Tarsonis, otherwise you would have had to wait at least five or six years to get it," he said sourly.
"How heartless."
"Okay." When Renault was thinking about what to say, Augustus pointed to the main screen on the bridge of the Hyperion and said.
"Looking at the recent news, we don't have much time to vacation in Agria anymore." Augustus looked at the portrait of the mechanical adjutant on the screen.
"Adjutant, play the UNN frontline briefing for August 12th."
Therefore, the media signals arriving in Agria came from more than two months ago. These delayed news are one of the basis used by the Revolutionary Army to understand the recent major events in the Tyranid Federation - because when an incident occurs, even the UNN begins to
When reported, it shows that the federal government has been unable to cover up their scandal.
"I want to announce the unfortunate news that Colonel Edmund Duke of Alpha Squadron has been confirmed to be controlled by Augustus Mengsk's rebel psychotropic drugs..."
"I am Gordon, the military reporter... The First Fleet of the Federal Navy has arrived in Mar Sara... The rebels fled in panic and were defeated. The people of Mar Sara were devastated by the rebels.
We were given a warm welcome and the atmosphere was warm!”
The main screen switched to the camera screen. Next to the host's feet was a pile of burning Molotov cocktails and wooden obstacles. A federal marine wearing power armor could be seen from the edge of the deliberately blurred lens.
He was roughly dragging the struggling Ma Sala out of his own house.
"You have to be examined because you dare to put jam on a piece of bread! There is a flag in your room, and it is not the red and blue star flag of the Confederacy." Tychus narrated the silent video in a sinister voice.
"I can imagine what happened to the Mar Sara people after we left, but that will only make them hate the federal government even more." Renault's expression was very ugly, and he couldn't imagine the town and tavern they had stayed in.
What happened.
"In fact, according to the reports of the troops staying in Mar Sara, they caused a lot of losses to the federal troops who landed through guerrilla warfare. At the same time, the Mar Sara people who supported us also caused a lot of trouble to the federal troops."
Augustus said.
"check it out."
The picture on the main screen began to change as Augustus spoke, cutting to a series of reports.
"The high-altitude one-way suspended train track in the main city of Tarsonis was blown up, and a suspended train derailed and fell. More than 800 people died - a member of the Dorian family was also killed in this accident."
"Ander Tagore was found dead in his family's bathroom. He had previously been considered the most potential successor to 'Queen Tagore' Andrea——"
"Senator Tyran Doyle of the Federal Parliament is involved in an unprecedented sexual assault scandal. It is reported that hundreds of federal government officials are involved in this scandal——"
"After twelve years, the Abram rebels who had been declared to have been completely wiped out appeared on Antiga Prime."
"—The Sons of Korhal claimed responsibility."
"Your brother did a good job." Tychus commented: "Kill all those founding families, that's what you should do."
Under the bridge of the Hyperion, a dozen iron-gray Behemoth-class battlecruisers were sailing in at the same time. By the time this fleet reappeared in the material world, it would already be the year 2491.
