Antiga Prime is synonymous with the first contact and war between humans and aliens. Before it was almost completely destroyed by the Zerg, it was once a desolate place with a dangerous environment according to many people.
——General Edmund Duke would say: Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people.
This planet with dotted red mesas, vast deserts and extremely salty oceans can only support very little life. Just like other Tyranid human colonies with harsh environments but still among the colonies, Antiga Prime must have
The reason why his unique advantages enabled the colonists to establish settlements here despite enduring harsh conditions.
Huge amounts of metal and mineral resources, abundant reserves of high-energy gas, or soil for planting. The advantage of Antiga lies in its extremely rich mining resources.
Centered under the Antiga Ticol forest and the surrounding ore-rich mountains, precious mineral resources and extremely valuable Adien crystals are almost readily available. The resources spread across the Delta subcontinent are enough to support one or more industrial centers.
Early the next morning after returning to Antiga Prime, Augustus set off from the Governor's Palace in Ansadar and took a Revolutionary Army Fox Hunter armored vehicle along the city's main road to the Antiga Alloy Armor Foundry.
The factory is located in the Satellite City of Gaspar, a newly founded city named after a revolutionary second lieutenant who died in the Battle of Antiga, and whose story is enough to bring tears to anyone who hears it.
As soon as Augustus returned to the office of the governor's palace in Ansadar, a mountain of work report documents waiting for him to finally read and sign had already accumulated. These clear words and genuine data could enable Augustus to lead the army to Antioch.
Despite the huge changes in the main planet, he was still ready to see the city and its people with his own eyes.
In the early morning, the goose-yellow sun had just risen, and the wind carried the smell of cold rust. Augustus, wearing a thick dark gray military coat, discovered when he walked out of the Governor's Palace that although Antiga could barely meet the needs of human survival
The conditions are better than Haiji, which is accompanied by hurricanes all year round, but the climate is much more stable.
Sarah Kerrigan stood on the right side of Augustus with a smile on her face. She was wearing a long-breasted hand-knitted sweater, the same Revolutionary Army coat, and a pair of small and exquisite leather boots.
.
A heavy armored vehicle painted in red camouflage was parked under the steps of the Governor's Palace office, and the marshal's guards with live ammunition were standing around it. The original Antiga Governor's Palace faced the Central Park of Ansadar, but now there are towers surrounding it.
Raise high walls, automatic turrets and missile towers to ensure that no enemies can break into it.
Every few dozen minutes there would be a not-so-bright meteor shower over Ansadar, which was a transport ship sailing into the atmosphere from a synchronous orbit. When Augustus raised his head, three Wraith fighter planes were roaring.
Passing by in the sky, the orange-yellow propeller tail flame is bright and shining.
Augustus saluted the Wraith fighter planes flying in the sky, and then walked towards the armored vehicle.
"Good morning, Marshal, everything is normal in the Antiga Galaxy today." Corporal Faraday stood next to the armored vehicle and opened the door for Augustus: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"...Yes. Faraday, let's go. I'm going to take a look at the mining base in Stickler Forest in the afternoon." Augustus smiled.
Augustus and Kerrigan sat together in the back seat of the Fox Hunter armored vehicle, while his captain of the guard, Corporal Faraday, drove the marshal himself as usual. This was a responsibility that could never be easily delegated to others.
The armored vehicle drove out of the Governor's Palace and drove along Ansadar toward the western part of the city.
Augustus didn't like the grand way of traveling, but the necessary security measures were still quite necessary. A squad of Marshal's Guard soldiers riding vultures followed the armored vehicle Augustus was riding in to escort him.
The central park outside the Governor's Palace has been transformed into a square open to everyone. The rare flowers and plants inside are still specially maintained by people. In the middle of the park stands a crimson flag with a golden five-pointed star on it, which is powerful.
arms and whip.
The central city has not changed much from the past. After all the bugs and creeping carpets have been cleaned up, most of the buildings have been renovated, and the high-rise buildings and glass curtain walls shine brightly in the morning sunlight.
Most of the people walking on the streets in this area were uniformed Revolutionary Army soldiers, engineers and people working at the Ansadar City Hall, and then Augustus saw the reopened shopping plazas and stores.
This area is even more prosperous and bustling than before the invasion. A large number of refugees from other fringe worlds who came to Ansadar are trying to find a place in this city with their talents and diligence.
The main road is crowded with high-end and stylish hover cars, Volkswagen-like cars that drive close to the ground, and large transport vehicles transporting goods. Because now is the season when everything is waiting for sowing, there are many rusty reclamation machines and sowing machines.
The plane is driving from one end of the city to the other.
The driver's seat and the hood behind these large agricultural machines with steam emitting from their tails were filled with farmers carrying tools. They were dressed in various colors. The immigrants from Martell IV were wearing thick clothes and auxiliary breathing masks.
, because it is a planet full of high-energy gas springs, and the air composition is quite different from Antiga.
The Minara people wear thinner clothes, and their home is an ocean planet with a pleasant temperature.
The Altera people with lavender eyes always keep a distance from other people. This is because their hometown is always a stone town filled with a large number of criminals and criminal groups. It is a place where pirates, spies and other religions mingle, and it is also a federal transport.
It is a temporary transition point for dangerous criminals. When walking on the street, you must always be careful whether someone will suddenly rush out from behind and stick the barrel of a gun into their mouths to snatch money.
But no matter what, these people with different identities and backgrounds are all sitting in the same car at this moment, and they are now called citizens of the Republic of Tyran.
The closer he got to the outskirts of the city, the more Augustus could notice that made him particularly happy.
Every mile you drive away from the city, more and more new houses and factories are built. They are fixed buildings built with pipes and metal elevated structures. They are mostly Antican-style light gray polygonal dome buildings. Brown-white buildings
The clusters are factories and newly built modular settlements, used to house those who have just arrived in Antiga and cannot find a house.
As the capital city of Antiga Prime, Ansadar was once built on the ruins of an ancient civilization on a dry ocean. Even among the Tyranid human cities, there are few cities that can match its history.
Under the control of the Revolutionary Army, Ansadar has become a prosperous and enterprising city. Due to the invasion of Zerg, all kinds of people were forced to flow into this city and settle here. Its earth-shaking changes did not surprise Ogu.
Stu's surprise. In some ways, the threat of zerg invasion is far more useful than laborious publicity.
Among the refugees pouring into Ansadar are a large number of skilled technicians, outstanding architects, engineers, teachers, doctors and people from all walks of life. They are tough and tenacious and will not be acclimated to the alien world.
, because its original home may have been a much more dangerous place than Antiga.
The culture of these refugees from other planets may be somewhat different from that of the Antigonians, but a few generations would not be enough time for the differences to become significant.
Approaching the factory, the first thing Augustus saw were brand-new low-rise work sheds and rows of rectangular houses stretching for several miles. The giant vaulted buildings roaring in the distance were storage warehouses for raw materials and finished products.
A large number of twisted and interlaced pipes constitute heavy factories under construction, gas refineries and transportation hubs with heavy trucks driving.
At the center is Ansadar's second airport. The interstellar port shaped like a tall pointed beak is circled with cargo ships about to take off and land. A giant cobalt blue transport ship thousands of feet long.
The crystal ore collected from the Anti satellite and the asteroid belt is sent to the smelting factory at intervals, and then the finished products are sent to the interstellar port in synchronous orbit.
The Antin Processing Industry Center, which has inherited Korhal IV's industrial system and technology, can produce everything from electronic components as small as exquisite to the alloy armor of a battlecruiser. Most of the products are used to supply the industrial chain and industry within the planet.
Equip the Revolutionary Army, and other products, such as explosives for mining mines, are sold as far away as the Camorian Federation.
In addition, souvenirs made from Zerg limbs can also be sold at high prices within the territory of the United States of Umojan.
The Fox Hunter armored vehicle with a crimson flag on the rear drove at high speed along a north-south main road and entered the interior of the industrial residential area. When Augustus saw the flow of people on both sides of the road through the rear window of the armored vehicle, he immediately became confused.
Densely, hundreds of port workers wearing light blue and light gray overalls were riding industrial park buses or walking on foot.
The workers who saw the armored vehicles were actually not very curious. The Gaspar Industrial Zone directly supplies the Revolutionary Army armored forces and the orbital shipyard. It adopts strict military control, and an entire brigade of the Revolutionary Army's 7th Division is stationed next to it.
Augustus remembered that the last time he sat in an armored car and watched passers-by through the window was four years ago in the city of Korhal IV Stillling. At that time, he clearly remembered that his father Angus had eagerly
He called every Korhal he met his own people.
This also corresponds to Augustus's original intention of forming the Pan-Taylon Nationalist Party. Whether they are Korhals, Tarsonis, Antiga or Mar-Sala people, one of the most important prerequisites is that they are all Thais.
The Revolutionary Party wants to unite all Tyran people and establish a new political power based on this.
It has to be said that Augustus actually didn't care much about how he lived. He could cope with both a luxurious lifestyle and a simple life. But when he saw that the people he called his people at least lived
When he was happier than before, Augustus felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. He was happy to see his people live happily and regarded it as his own responsibility.
"Stop, Faraday." Augustus shouted, and the car stopped steadily on the side of the road next to a row of low-rise modular houses. Rows of close-knit houses were separated by a dozen feet wide
The pedestrian walkway is full of workers on their way to work.
When Augustus stepped down from the armored vehicle, people walking by immediately recognized him as Augustus Mengsk, the current actual ruler of Antiga Prime. His cold gray hair and eyes and other
The weathered dark gray cloak is the most distinctive feature.
Of course, the main reason is that the large poster next to it shows a portrait of Augustus waving and leading the soldiers, with the slogan: Unite, unite, the freedom of the Federation is not the freedom we want, fight for the future!
There were whispers in the crowd, but Augustus noticed that not all of them were praises for himself. Some people were saying that Marshal Mengsk was really wise, brave, wise, and mighty. Some people were asking tiredly about the guy who looked so attractive.
Who is the gray-haired boy? I hope this guy will not find some extra work for them to do.
But no matter what, Augustus received a warm welcome when he walked towards them.
Augustus asked where these workers came from, their living environment and working conditions, and told them that once the interstellar trade navigation with the United States of Eumoyan and the Kemorian Commonwealth is completely connected, the current situation will definitely be improved.
The workers passing by were still full of gratitude to Augustus and the Revolutionary Army. They originally had nothing, but the Revolutionary Army saved them and gave them a bite to eat. The workers here are all war refugees from other planets.
, for them, just continuing to live is the greatest luck, especially since the life in Antiga is actually better than what many people originally lived.
The factory conditions in Antiga are based on the standards of Korhal IV. Not to mention unparalleled in the edge worlds, they are much better than most core worlds of the Federation.
After the Gamu swarm and Sutur swarm evacuated Antiga and the Antiga defense war ended, the planet seemed to have been developing on the bright side. People's livelihoods were restored, and a large number of light and heavy industries linked to military industrial orders were
The prosperity and the influx of a large number of foreign labor force have brought about more than just economic recovery.
In fact, this is entirely an opportunity for Antiga's rapid development. It was on the verge of destruction due to the war between humans and zerg, but now it is prospering because of it. The population of Antiga's main planet is still expanding. Under the influence of the revolutionary army,
In the "Census", the officially registered population exceeded 13 million people the day after Augustus arrived on the planet.
The large-scale influx of population did not lead to disorder. Strict militarized management and a strong crackdown on criminal activities eliminated all unstable factors. Antiga Prime is not only a refugee settlement, it also has Ogu.
Stud came from Korhal IV, a man of law and a man who would enforce the law with blood, passion and love for the people.
There were many young idealists and passionate youths in the revolutionary army. What they lacked most was enthusiasm for work. Augustus would call these people people of faith.
The large number of garrisons and fleets also make Antiga Prime the safest planet in the Zerg invasion star field - if it were not under the control of the "rebels", then those who fled to Antiga would still be there.
Much more than now.
It is precisely because of this that Augustus and the Revolutionary Army will be considered the saviors of Antiga. A planet that was supposed to be destroyed by the Protoss after the Zerg invasion has instead become a sanctuary. This should be attributed to the Revolutionary Army.
them.
Augustus took Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday as they walked through the crowded workers' residential area. They saw not only the muscular workers but also their families. Outside the industrial park was the attached school, where people who had fled to Anhui were
Teacher in Tijalai.
Children are going to school in groups against the direction of the crowd. The children in the marginal colonies are very independent. They carry the school bags issued by the school with the revolutionary army emblem on them, sing songs as they walk, carry candies in their pockets, and have hope in their eyes.
Seeing them laughing, Augustus also smiled. Only Kerrigan could understand what Augustus was thinking at the moment. She wished she could have met Augustus when she was a child.
Antiga is a place where countless people who have lost family members to the zerg huddle together for warmth in the cold nights. Suffering is tightly linking these people together.
