522 The Great Emperor Tai Lun Ming Deng

 History, planet surface. Drill site 3 (drill site 3)

Drilling site No. 3 is located in a concave flat lowland between canyons, connected to mines deep underground. It is desolate and monotonous, and everything you see is dim and hazy dark yellow. It is thousands of years old due to the destruction and pollution caused by mining.

Holes, drilling platforms and silver-grey modular buildings dominate half of the world.

Although they can avoid being hunted by the imperial army in the mines deep underground, the descendants of the founding family, led by Morgan Calabas, can only live in workers' dormitories. There is another world hundreds of feet or even deeper underground.

, the air was turbid and the environment was oppressive. Except for the roar of the mine carts crossing the tracks, the silence was eerie.

There is an oasis a few miles away, but here there is only sand and stone. This mining world is still almost a virgin land, and the living conditions are harsh, far less than the comfortable life on Tarsonis. Morgan and others have to accept canned and synthetic foods.

, sometimes even these are not available.

A wandering and frightened escape is not a pleasant journey to the pastoral world or the tourist world. The pursuers who may arrive at any time are like souls seeking their lives.

In the past few days, Morgan and his companions, who had just arrived on this planet, had hardly slept well, and were becoming increasingly thinner due to fear and the harsh environment.

Every day, various kinds of news come from channels that are still loyal to the Tyranid Federation and the Creation Family. Every day is worse than the day before, and all the good news sounds like endless self-consolation and blindly confident boasting.

First, Augustus Mengsk proclaimed himself emperor on Korhal, and the newly established imperial government began arresting government officials and members of the Creation Family who were accused of sabotaging the Revolutionaries. All the inconsistencies between the federal government and the Creation Family were

All the proceeds from righteousness are also taken as state property...

The news of Augustus's accession to the throne shocked the founding families. They could attack his uprising as an imperial autocracy hidden under the guise of revolution, but they must admit that the balance of strength between the Federation and the Revolutionary Army has changed dramatically.

His identity is also completely reversed.

Shameless kleptocrat, Koprulu warlord, world destroyer... No matter how the supporters of the Federation curse the emperor of the new empire, no matter how they deny this fact. On the land controlled by the empire, the imperial talents

It's the government, and the former masters of the Federation have become rebels.

In many imperial worlds, this emperor who always wears a military uniform or a golden and red cloak is also known as the Eternal Augustus, the Conqueror, the Korhal Wolf Lord, the King of the Tyranids...

And Morgan and his friends have gone from being high-ranking family heirs in the past to political leaders and financial giants of the future Tyranid Federation to wanted criminals. Ironically, the amount is the same as the amount of money that the Federation paid to kill Mengsk family members and the uprising in the past.

The reward offered by important military leaders is not bad.

In the territory of the Tyran Empire, no matter whether it is the drug addicts, homeless people and gangsters in the slums, or the former federal officers and officials who take advantage of the change of regime to engage in military speculation, there is no one who does not want to use them to soar into the sky and become the emperor.

favor, huge wealth and prominent status.

In the federal era, the power to dominate the federation belonged to the many founding families behind the Federal Council, and even these founding families secretly and openly fought and united due to differences and interests. In the empire era of Augustus Mengsk, only

If you need to please someone, power and reputation will come one after another.

Now, Morgan, who had just been stable for a few days, was once again pulled out of his sleep. Morgan and his companions gathered in the central control room inside the No. 3 drilling site and looked at each other, nervously waiting for the latest news.

Find out if this is just a common false alarm or if you must leave for the next place of refuge immediately.

As time went by, more and more people walked into the control center, and no one looked ashen and frowning.

"The shuttle that took off from Mining Station Alpha was shot down by an unknown weapon before it entered the stratosphere. Master Morgan, Shi is likely to have been surrounded. We are under enemy surveillance."

A former federal marine officer wearing blue power armor walked in, followed by several others.

"It must be the rebels. All communication signals sent to the outside world have been intercepted. This cannot be just a failure of a certain communication base station."

This is easy to judge. For more than a month, they have been closely followed by either Zerg or rebel soldiers. The rebels used human methods, and the Zerg used Zerg methods.

The rebels may be polite before attacking, but the zerg are unreasonable.

After the federal officer finished speaking, the control room immediately fell silent. There were no complaints, crying or screaming. The people standing here have experienced too many such scenes before, and even the tears they had have been drained now.

They were still ignorant of the war that was breaking out in the system, and they did not know that the protoss and human alliances were already fighting above their heads with the Prince of Blades, Gabriel Tosh.

"...The shuttle we are traveling on is very likely to be discovered and shot down. We should find other ways to leave Shi." Roderick was beside Morgan.

This is a handsome blond young man, wearing a fashionable cardigan sweater. He has auburn hair and fair skin. He is elegant and quick-thinking. He is always thinking when he is silent, and he is clear and decisive when he acts.

And Roderick is the kind of action person who thinks carefully and takes action immediately when necessary. Among this group of aristocratic scions who are either rich or noble, he is often the one who makes suggestions.

He may be the last Rodrik still on the run, as the rest of the family either died during the fall of Tarsonis or were held captive.

The Roderick family was also one of the first members to found the Terran Federation. However, this family held seats in the Federation Parliament but had never been involved in politics. The Roderick family was engaged in business during the era, and trade spread throughout the federal territory.

By this generation, Roderick's family was still prosperous, but it was much more low-key than the Tagore and Karabas families.

"It's impossible for them to monitor the entire planet, they just located the α mining station." Key wore a black knitted hat and a black jacket and leaned against the alloy steel wall:

"In that case, let's start from the secret underground launch port and start the jump engine below the stratosphere."

Just like other young people here, Ji is also a descendant of the founding family. His family is not only an interstellar merchant, but also an adventurer and a soldier. At the same time, he is also the first among these panicked young people to regain his composure.

Not all nobles are playboys. In fact, the heirs of the family who received strict education can be called elites. Most of the nobles who did evil in Tarsonis are those who lack ability and are not loved by their parents.

people.

Those who can be arranged to take refuge in Terrador are young talents and heirs of various families, the proud ones who have high hopes.

"It's not difficult to leave Shi. What's difficult is where to decide the next destination. I know a few federal military bases where many resistance forces gather, but they may have been exposed now." Morgan nodded in approval at first, and then

Then he said: "Without Shi, we have fewer choices. The Calabasas family has many such planets, but since it is not safe here, the same goes for other places."

"Augustus Mengsk's fleet set out from Korhal, Tarsonis and Daela IV, marching towards those worlds that were still loyal to the Federation. My father was also avoiding pursuers, unless he fled to the Koprulu sector.

The edge, otherwise there will be no stable and safe place.”

Morgan Carabas is now the leader among these people, not because his abilities are recognized by everyone, but because everyone else needs to rely on Carabas more or less.

A month ago, when Morgan and others gathered in Terrador to enjoy the holiday, there were twenty or thirty people. Now there are only nine people in this control center.

Although Tarsonis has fallen, all the founding families except the Terra family have suffered heavy losses. Many founding families still have some strength left. Of course, they will immediately send family armed forces to pick up the scattered and fleeing family heirs. Otherwise, if this team

If something unexpected happens to their friends, they will have no choice but to choose another successor.

For those families that already have few heirs and a small population, they will definitely have to jump on something.

For example, Antonia Tagore and the twins Bess and Coulombs of the Kucinis family have left. In other words, these people are now children without parents, unless they are willing to go to the ghastly place.

In the new Folsom Prison, everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.

For example, the Roderick family was all imprisoned in the terrifying New Folsom Prison, and their lives and deaths are unknown. However, the Key family all died on the day Tarsonis fell, and were massacred by crazy UED assassins.

Even the Tagore family, which had ruled Tarsonis for nearly a century, split after the death of their grandmother Andrea Tagore. One group tried its best to resist, while the other wanted to surrender to the emperor and offer their wealth and dignity to pray.

forgive.

Such an incident made the children present grow up a lot in a short period of time. The frivolous young people also became silent and steady, hiding all their hatred in their hearts and waiting for revenge.

New Folsom was once a man-made prison used by the Terran Federation to imprison political prisoners, serious criminals, revolutionaries and rebels. It was also the final burial place of those who opposed the Creation Family. It can only be said that the Federation only created

A torture device that was ultimately used on himself.

"The risk is still very high. I suspect that the rebels know our trajectory well, and it is very likely that it has been exposed here." Morgan Karabas looked at the people around him, suggesting that there might be a traitor among them: "Escape from this planet.

Planet, the rebels will still follow us closely."

The people here are all loyal servants of the Carabas family, but that was when the Creation family still ruled the Terran Federation.

When Tarsonis fell, the Federation was completely defeated, losing almost all its troops, and all the people in the government became prisoners. Currently, the Terran Empire established by Augustus Mengsk controls three parts of the territory of the original Terran Federation.

Divided into two, the powerful imperial fleet repeatedly distinguished itself in foreign wars.

If things go on like this, fewer and fewer people will miss the past of the Terran Federation.

Maybe the servants here and the federal professional soldiers hired here are loyal, but the mining and smelting workers in the mining station are hard to say. They were originally just workers recruited by the companies affiliated with Calabasas, and they just need to work hard.

With such a pitiful salary, it is impossible to work hard for entrepreneurs and bosses.

The emperor of the Tyran Empire was a wise monarch. Internally, he rewrote and established a new legal system based on the laws of the Federation and Korhal. He appointed talents, reduced the size of the bloated government, and severely punished corruption...

...Economically, he promoted the policy of developing science and technology and establishing new industries as the first priority, opening the door to capable talents, and also encouraged the re-establishment of the Kemorian Federation and the United States of Umoyan with the other two brotherly regimes.

Build trade...

The emperor cared about people's livelihood and always put the interests of the common people first. He listened carefully and took the people's opinions into consideration. The new policies he formulated were more designed to protect workers, farmers and other proletarians rather than aristocrats and monopoly businessmen.

Benefit.

Ever since Emperor Augustus wiped out the nobility and monopoly companies in major core worlds such as Tarsonis, and used ruthless iron-blooded methods to suppress all disobedient people, the people at the bottom have discovered that they now work much less time than in the past and earn less.

But more.

The new policies and their swift and decisive implementation brought about huge changes in a short period of time, changes that left every politician, economist, and mainstream newspaper writer with a pessimistic view of the Empire on their toes with gnashing of disappointment.

After the establishment of the empire, a series of means such as a relatively stable social order, a new currency, and government intervention in the prices of daily necessities also made people's lives generally much better than before, and they were able to spend more money on high-end electronic products and so on.

In terms of technological products, since it has improved the overall happiness index of the empire's citizens, it has also driven other industries...

"I Have a Book of Ghosts and Gods"

In fact, most of the policies of Emperor Augustus followed the democratic system of Korhal IV. For a modern democratic system, it can only be said to be very orderly. A considerable part of it was also adopted by his father, the former Senator of Korhal.

These laws were enacted by Angus Mengsk and his staff, and it was actually Prince Arcturus who was in power during the Emperor's personal conquests.

I can only say that the federal government is too indifferent and corrupt to the core. Without comparison, there is no harm.

The Tyran Empire is a highly centralized monarchy, and its enemies are bound to be drowned in the vast sea of ​​people and imperial troops.

Based on this change, every time they fled to a new place, Morgan Carabas and his friends would be surprised to find that the reputation of the Tyran Empire and Emperor Augustus would be better, so good that some people expected to move there.

Augustgrad lived in Korkha.

Then, when compared with the empire's policy of protecting workers' rights and interests, the workers under the Creation Family Enterprises became even more dissatisfied. After all, there are more than just two worlds, and more than just cores such as Korhal, Tarsonis and Viridia.

This is true across the world and across huge empires.

When he heard the people at Drilling Site No. 3 talking about him when they saw him, Morgan would regard it as a conspiracy to get someone else's head. And Morgan also respected and feared the unfamiliar emperor, but he couldn't talk about it.

What hate.

The Founding Family, which had ruled the Tyranids for more than two hundred years, had fallen to this level, all because of Korhal and that Augustus Mengsk.
