Korhal's low axis inclination and moderate rotational speed have given birth to a lush, warm and pleasant Eden, a highly developed complex industrial system and an idyllic world of pastoral red flowers and leaves.
When this generation of Korhal took over this prosperous and prosperous world from their ancestors, Korhal IV was already the jewel among the thirteen main star worlds of the Tyranid Federation.
But like all other Federation worlds, Korhal is nothing more than a vassal and colony of Tarsonis. The oppression and blood-sucking of the Federation eventually triggered the uprising cry of Korhal revolutionaries, and the revolutionary wave eventually caused the founding family of Tarsonis to lose its
Billions of dollars.
The Federation's inhumane nuclear bombing followed closely, turning this lush and beautiful garden into a nuclear wasteland covered with black glass.
Huge mushroom clouds rose up, radioactive dust fell in ribbons, and a black rain began to fall on Kohal. The entire planet was dead silent, and the huge crater permanently changed the landscape, twisted steel bars,
The black crystals and simmering remains are covered with layers of radiation dust.
Since Emperor Augustus Mengsk defeated the Earth Federation Expeditionary Force and recaptured Tarsonis to establish the Tyranid Empire, the first decree issued by the emperor was to invest a large amount of money in the purification and reconstruction of the imperial capital Korhal.
By February 2494, giant cities rising from the ground in the radioactive wasteland and dangerous wasteland had already taken shape.
The stubborn resistance of the Korhal rebels was not completely ineffective. The Federation fleet actually only delivered more than 400 Apocalypse-class nuclear bombs to Korhal instead of the 1,000 as planned. Therefore, although the radiation was still frighteningly high, the natural environment in many areas
The environment recovered on its own within two years after the nuclear explosion. Nature once again demonstrated her greatness and tolerance.
Although many official agencies such as the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the Imperial Immigration Department and the Palace Spokesperson have promised that most of the area in Korhal IV has become suitable for human habitation again, no matter how convincing the analysis report is, the immigrants
You must have made a great deal of determination before deciding to come to Korhal.
On thousands of square miles of land, tens of thousands of super cranes, cranes, bulldozers, and high-energy gas tank trucks are operating day and night. Tall buildings rise from the ground every day, and there are rail tracks in the sky every day.
The train tracks are laid, and the steel city made of countless tons of steel, concrete and glass is expanding outward every day.
Since the first bricks of the reconstruction plan were laid, to factories, power stations, food processing plants, laboratories, and trading ports, Korhal is rapidly transforming into a global city (ecumenopolis). Under UNN's tireless reporting, all the imperial worlds
Everyone is paying attention to the changes in Korhal, and those thoughtful people see the development opportunities in this newly built imperial city.
Korhal IV, which was declared dead by the Federation, once again took on new life, and interstellar shipping routes were once again re-planned, with all roads leading to Korhal.
Encouraged by the emperor's call and a series of decrees and policies, Korhal IV ushered in the first large-scale immigration wave, attracting immigrants from all over the world. The immigration wave soon led to the real estate, industry, manufacturing, and high-tech industries.
The technology industry and service industry provide the basis for development.
In four months, the resident population of Keha IV reached the size of its former heyday, while the floating population was twice that number.
Not only the Tyranids, but also the Kaimorians and Umoyans came to live in this emerging imperial world. People believed that a strong and open empire era had arrived.
Augustgrad, New Styrling (technical city), Aurora (a map in StarCraft I, an orbital platform of Korhal), Simonson (Simonson Military Center
), Wolfrec (port city), Fairstens (Fairstens industrial center). The new city not only inherits the name of the past, but also commemorates the sacrifice of revolutionaries and soldiers.
In February, the news that Emperor Augustus returned from the expedition that defeated the zerg and protoss aroused widespread attention in Korhal without any need for publicity.
By the 14th of that month, the Imperial fleet arrived in the Korhal system after a long jump voyage and anchored in the Sky Shield and Bennett Port under construction to carry out necessary repairs and maintenance work.
When Augustus successfully arrived at the Augustgrad Capital Airport on a gray shuttle plane, hundreds of holographic news media, newspapers and freelance writers from all over the world had been waiting for a long time, with trembling mouths and flying automatic voices.
Cameras and microphones both reached towards this heroic emperor.
This is not the first time that the emperor has appeared in public and in front of the people in military uniform, and this navy uniform looks extraordinary on him.
Standing next to him were Queen Sarah Kerrigan, who also wore military uniforms, Imperial Navy Marshal Horace Warfield and Captain of the Royal Guards Faraday, all important figures who had followed the emperor on many overseas trips.
The interior of the airport was also covered with a red carpet, with the words in capital letters: Peace, Law, Order. (Empire propaganda slogan: Peace. Law. Order.) and the slogan Korhal will shine again. (Korhal will be great.
again- Arcturus Mengsk)
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say about this great victory over the protoss?" A tall, thin man with blond hair was the first to ask the emperor a question. The symbol on the microphone indicated that he
He is a reporter from Today's Empire. This is not a news agency that was founded recently. Its predecessor was Today's Federation.
"The significance of this victory is self-evident. It is the first victory since the Terran Federation lost power and humiliated its country in a foreign war. This means that the evil alien forces represented by the Tal'darin protoss are not invincible. This is humanity, and this is Tyranid.
The power of the Roman Empire!" Of course Augustus knew about this interview.
Now that we have won, we need to publicize it.
"Once the Tal'darin Protoss and Zerg attack, the Empire will defeat them once." He said to the camera:
"Glory belongs to Horace Warfield and all the Imperial soldiers, and victory belongs to the Empire."
"Does this mean that the Empire's system is superior to that of the Federation? You can say yes or no." After the reporter from Empire Today asked this question, he was crowded away by other reporters.
"I create history, I compose history, and the descendants who have been affected by this will comment on it." Emperor Augustus smiled and said with a little humor: "If you ask me, the Empire is better than the Federation.
"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this is Joey Floyd from the Augustgrad Daily. I would like to ask if it is true that there is an unprecedented outbreak of zerg infection and pandemic disease in Agria, the agricultural world?
"This is a dark-haired female reporter of medium height. It is not easy for her to squeeze out among these crazy reporters:
“Is Capital World’s quarantine policy related to this infection crisis?”
"It's true. The Empire has never concealed the invasion and terrible disaster that Agria suffered." Augustus noticed the trap in the reporter's question: "Korhal's policy has nothing to do with the Zerg virus.
It is one of the necessary measures taken to prepare for the large influx of immigrants. In this era, there are countless new diseases."
"As for the zerg infection in Agria, the empire has developed a targeted and powerful virus serum, and the cure rate is close to 100%. At present, the infection has been eradicated in 14 imperial territories including Agria," he said.
go on:
"If you pay attention to the announcements from the Imperial Ministry of Health, you will know how successful the new virus serum has been in Aglia and other places. As Health Minister Spielt said, the Aglia worm virus level has weakened to
An epidemic that is limited to some star provinces in the empire. This shows that zerg infection is not hopeless. We must believe in the empire!"
"Your Majesty, there are reports that you abandoned the refugees in Agria and ordered all refugee ships bound for the core world to be expelled." Another burly reporter came to the emperor: "Is this consistent with what has not yet been promulgated?
Is it relevant to imperial policy?”
When Agria and other places were first invaded by Carlos, a large number of refugees flocked to the core world. However, due to fear of the virus they carried, no planet dared to take them in.
Those with a better attitude also sent out short-range shuttles from the colonies to drive them away, while those with a bad attitude directly began to attack refugee ships. As for those who landed secretly, they did cause infection in those worlds, and the bloody conflicts and darker conflicts that occurred as a result
The incident was even more horrifying.
After Augustus learned of this, he immediately sent soldiers to build multiple isolation areas and refugee settlements, so that the infection did not spread further. This was not actually an inaction of the empire, but just the impact of the newly founded country on many worlds.
The control is still very weak, and even if we react, it is difficult to dispatch support in time.
As one after another former Federation worlds join the Terran Empire, a bureaucracy appointed by the Emperor and accountable only to the Emperor will reconnect the Federation worlds as a whole.
"The Tyran Empire has never driven away any refugee ship, and all refugees have been properly resettled." Augustus emphasized: "The Empire will not abandon any citizen."
This group of media wants to make big news all day long, and even the emperor is not afraid, because they know that Augustus is not a tyrant. In fact, facing the media's questions can further shape his image as a virtuous emperor.
"The Kaimorians of Redstone Star have announced through a referendum that they will become the 127th joining world of the Empire. This matter has caused protests from the Federation Board of Directors." This is a UNN reporter, a young black-haired woman:
"An Augustgrad poll shows that this is very likely to trigger a political and diplomatic conflict between the Empire and the Commonwealth, and even trigger a second Guild War."
"The Terran Empire respects the choice of the people of Redstone. This planet and everyone on it will be protected by the empire and enjoy all the rights of imperial citizens." Augustus immediately replied.
The population of Redstone is not large, mainly Caymorian miners and mercenaries, and is mainly concentrated in orbital residential stations.
The current Kaimorian Federation is becoming more and more corrupt, and there is constant centrifugal friction between the major guilds. The middle and upper classes of the guilds live a wealthy life that is not inferior to that of the founding family of Tarsonis in the Federation, and the lives of the people at the bottom
But it was miserable.
Being able to force the Camorians, who hate the Tyranids so much, to seek shelter and help from the Tyranids, shows how inhumane the top leaders of the Federation are.
As for the attitude of the Kemerian Federation, Augustus actually didn't care much at all. Although the Federation enjoyed sovereignty over Redstone Star, in fact, the Empire did not have to abide by the agreement signed by the Federation.
Within the alliance, they only dare to shout. Even the newly established Tyran Empire is not something they can afford to offend. At present, Camorion is still a vassal force of the Tyran Empire.
Augustus dealt with such tricky questions one by one. This group of people seemed indifferent to the empire's new victory. After all, everyone in the empire knew about it, and the real battlefield details and battlefield records were in
In the hands of the UNN who sent reporters with the army.
"The empire only pursues one principle, and that is to insist on selfless dedication to the people as the fundamental principle of governing the country." Finally, Augustus once again emphasized his governing policy.
"All the achievements we have achieved today, this hard-won peace and prosperity come from the hard work and sacrifice of countless warriors." He said:
"Today, all the Tyranid territories will once again unite under the same flag. The Tyranid Empire will fight to protect human civilization and protect the future of mankind. Only by uniting as one can we succeed. Only by uniting as one can we win. Only by uniting as one can we win.
Only by uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties.”
"These are dark times, our enemies are tireless and the struggle never stops."
After Augustus finished speaking, the reporters who were still entangled were pushed away by the royal guards, clearing a road for the emperor to lead outside the airport. Outside the airport, there were at least 20,000 Augustgrad residents.
Waiting to welcome their emperor, there was also a rather grand triumphal ceremony.
"Who let these jackals in?" Prince Arcturus walked towards Augustus from another aisle under the protection of several royal guards.
Prince Arcturus wore a crimson coat with a golden wolf embroidered on it, which is a symbol of the royal family. During the period when he was managing the empire for Augustus, Arcturus was not only completely unburdened by
Although I was exhausted from all the official duties and tedious tasks, I was still energetic and high-spirited.
"I thought you arranged this." Augustus shrugged.
"If I arranged it, it's not that simple. Who doesn't want to know the emperor's little secret." Arcturus spread his hands.
"Even psychics can't guess what questions these reporters want to ask. It's not easy to deal with these people." Augustus said without irony.
"You have to be more cunning than them, and even if you consider every word, they may still catch you." Arcturus said: "In recent times, the paparazzi who have been keeping an eye on the Federation's founding family have been
The team began to focus on the royal family. Fortunately, Angus and his sister are already used to dealing with these idiots."
"They'd better know where to draw the line," Augustus said coldly.
Family is important to both Augustus and Arcturus. It's not easy to anger them, but there are always some precious people who are untouchable.
"They must be so," Arcturus added:
"By the way, the Kemorian Federation is also turbulent now. A few days ago, the revolutionaries in Moria asked you to send troops to help them launch an uprising and bring freedom to the people there. Just like you did to the Federation.
."
"The empire neither can nor can make any substantive commitments." Augustus: "Although Camorion suffered heavy losses after the Guild War, it has slowly regained some strength after these years of recuperation."
And even within the empire, there is a large number of remaining federal fleets waiting to be eliminated. There are still more than 60 federal worlds and more enclaves that need to be recovered. It will take at least several years to completely resolve these hidden dangers.
time, and this is still the most optimistic estimate.
"It is not a wise move to annex Camerion now." Arcturus nodded.
"You are always so domineering, be careful if you are too greedy to swallow the elephant." Augustus smiled.
"Well, welcome back." Arcturus hugged his brother:
"Now that we're back, let's go back to work. We still have an empire to build."
