Today's Augustgrad City is already a highly modern super city. The magnificent and beautiful steel and glass buildings are scattered in an orderly manner along the checkerboard-shaped grid lines. Modern technology can be seen everywhere in the clean and beautiful streets.
With the continuous expansion of the empire's territory, some worlds in the old Federation era have become remote on the star map. This is why today's Mar Sara and Antiga can only be regarded as edge worlds. Korhal is the empire.
The true center, places like Fauna II, also become the new core world due to their location.
Just walking on the road of Augustgrad, pedestrians can pay small-denomination Imperial credit coins to take out a copy of Imperial Pravda from the AAI propaganda robot along the way or directly watch the generated holographic projection news, even after watching it.
Cleaning bots can be put away even if they are thrown away, and small drones delivering express mail or fast food can be seen everywhere in the sky.
These robots are designed to be small machines not much bigger than puppies, driven by motors, running around on wheels and short legs. In essence, they are just naive and cute creatures.
Nowadays, single-person hover motorcycles are no longer a fashionable means of transportation, and the flashy anti-gravity skateboards are the favorite of young people. Nanotechnology has the most prominent impact on people's lives, triggering the Tyran Empire's technology in the fields of medicine, industry and materials science
Big explosion.
This is thanks to the people on Earth who have traveled thousands of miles to come here.
On the summer solstice in Augustus, the new grass and wildflowers growing on the wasteland grew vigorously in the warm night, and the half-missed blue moon hung brightly in the sky.
Midsummer is supposed to be about lighting bonfires, setting off fireworks, and dancing around the flames, but this is war time, so keep things simple.
But even so, in the shops in Augustgrad you can still buy local firewood with a radiation index that reaches a safe level, fireworks imported from Tarsonis, and cheap and high-quality cakes. If someone is willing to sing and dance, the laws of the empire will also be available.
Not expressly prohibited.
A smarter person will understand that the Terran Empire has enough supplies to cope with this war. The clean and efficient imperial government mobilizes the empire's resources in an orderly manner and dispatches personnel to ensure that military investment will not cause the original production order to collapse.
As for the imperial capital Augustgrad, residents living there can clearly feel the price increase and the shortage of some commodities, but the government's direct regulation still keeps the prices of daily necessities stable.
On this lush summer night, the wind blowing into Augustgrad carries the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Augustgrad was not much deserted than before the war broke out, but there were far fewer people in the business district, because people had to consider the possibility that the war period might continue.
But in public places, in squares, in cafes, in restaurants and bars, it was still very lively. The first phase of the conscription order recruited about 40 million recruits across the empire, including Augustgrad alone.
There are eight million people, which means that on average, one person out of every two hundred people will join the army, but the big city will not be empty of people.
Adults are talking about military strategy in public places in Augustgrad, commenting on the unpredictable troop movements. Even children are playing games pretending to be the Imperial fleet and the Zerg, which often ends with trampling to death a few innocent animals.
The ending of Korhar Beetle.
This day was particularly lively, not only because it was midsummer, but also because encouraging news came back from the Bracken front.
That is, Marshal Edmund Duke, Commander-in-Chief of the Empire's First Fleet, defeated the invading Zerg in the Bracken system. He beat the crap out of these bugs and wiped out 100 million enemies. The Zerg suffered a heavy blow and had to avoid it.
Bracken galaxy.
Now, this news was broadcast in every conspicuous position. Marshal Edmund Duke and the officers of his First Fleet immediately became heroes. People had never praised Duke's achievements so sincerely.
If they thought about it again and wanted to count the glorious achievements of Marshal Duke, they would find that they could not find anything at all. Of course Duke fought many battles and there are countless legendary stories, but half of them were made up by himself.
Yes, it has some gold content.
But just the fact that Duke drove away the protoss fleet in Mar Sara was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime. Renault and Duke didn't get along quickly, but he recognized this.
Regardless, Duke is now a hero of the Empire, and he fought a tough battle this time.
The Emperor knew that if he wanted to launch a determined and tough attack, Duke should be used.
Of course, the citizens of the Empire who had said this before would say that the victory of the Imperial Fleet is certain. The Empire has invested so much in this fleet, so it should win the war.
The Terran Empire's military expenditure is one hundred and thirty times that of the United States of Umojan, and most of this money is spent on the construction of the Imperial Navy. Fortunately, the Minotaur-class battlecruiser is worth its price.
At the same time, the major shipyards of the Terran Empire were still building a new batch of battlecruisers, with the speed increased tenfold compared to before the war.
Trade routes closely linked the various territories of the empire. The engines and electronic systems of the Minotaur-class battlecruisers came from the main star of Tarsonis, the armor was produced by Bronte and Knaff II, and the naval guns were produced by the Korhal Arsenal.
Production and propulsion systems are provided by Bennett Group and Della Group. The final segment construction process is carried out at Bennett Shipyard, Usa Shipyard and Augustgrad Royal Shipyard in Kohal.
The entire empire's heavy industry has been converted to war services, and dozens of naval academies have been added overnight. There is a shortage of frontline non-commissioned officers to the point where they can't even be withdrawn as instructors. This terrible war machine is building its own fleet in large numbers, such a grand scene.
No matter how old the Tyranid human is, he has never seen one.
Even the most cunning Umoyan double agent can't figure out how many fleets the Empire has. The Empire has the First Fleet and the Seventeenth Fleet. All in all, it sounds like a lot.
Admirals from the Old Federation era were also reused by Emperor Augustus regardless of past grudges. The most famous among them were the commanders of Alpha Squadron, Nova Squadron and Omega Squadron.
The reason why the original colonel and lieutenant colonel became an admiral and lieutenant general was because of the shortage of admirals in the Imperial Navy. This situation will be alleviated after the large-scale establishment of naval academies, because these schools are not only open to the civilian class, but also to the poorest.
People can start school, as long as they prove their abilities.
The theory of sea power still applies in the stars and seas. The emperor of the Tyran Empire needs a fleet to open up frontiers for him and achieve immortal achievements.
This night, people who thought they knew the inside story began to talk loudly about the significance of the Battle of Bracken. The emperor never explained to the public why he wanted to fight the first battle in Bracken, but there were a thousand imperial people.
Hamlet.
Some people firmly believe that when the insect swarm approaches the planet Bracken, the war will reach a point where it cannot be fought. Some people believe that Bracken's geographical location is crucial because it is the gateway to the Southwest Empire.
In any case, now is not the time to publish detailed battle plans in newspapers, because brainworms also read newspapers.
The only thing that is certain is that the Battle of Bracken is indeed of great significance. The Tyranid Empire needs a victory to prove its current strength, so that the enemy will carefully consider the price they will pay before launching a large-scale invasion.
Tonight, the streets of Augustgrad were packed with people, and countless people sang the national anthem in front of the statue of former Federal Marshal Fowler. This marshal never saw the establishment of the Tyran Empire with his own eyes, and he died on the eve of the end of the Guild War.
He was a hero of the Tyranids, not the Tyranids, but Emperor Augustus still erected a statue of him.
The gathered Augustgrad people held a huge portrait of Emperor Augustus and waved flags through the streets. Both those who supported the monarchy and those who opposed it were silent. The emperor's authority was no longer
It can be shaken, and humans are happy to extend this respect to his descendants.
As long as they are not too incompetent or too outrageous.
The war has undoubtedly changed the lives of the Imperial people, but at least their lives have not become too bad. The Tyranids hate war and have absolutely no enthusiasm for it, but there is no way to escape it.
Now, an indisputable fact has been recognized by the public. That is, the demise of the corrupt old Federation is inevitable, and the Tyranids must have a stoic and decisive leader to lead them.
This is a historical necessity.
Not everyone was immersed in victory. Hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously came to the long river outside Augustgrad and watched many red candles carried by small paper boats flowing down the river.
Half of these people were wearing black mourning clothes, and the young widows were crying.
When the news of the victory was rushed back to Korhal, it was also accompanied by a list of casualties. About six thousand people were killed in the Battle of Bracken, without even a body left.
A fleet was setting sail from the Bracken star port, and the sleeping cabins above carried seriously injured Imperial Navy soldiers. Many of them died on the way.
The fate of these injured Imperial soldiers will not end here. The disabled will receive prosthetic limb transplants, and the new limbs will not be much different in function from the original ones. Soldiers who are too seriously injured and cannot return to the front line
You can apply for a job as a military school teacher, which is also the choice most people make.
That night, the emperor expressed his condolences to these fallen soldiers. This was an astonishing number.
"Where is Matt?" Emperor Augustus looked less tired tonight than before. Perhaps the news of victory gave him a little encouragement.
"At Ponteful, Agdra's Ash Worm swarm is expected to arrive there in two standard days." Royal Guard Captain Faraday said.
Faraday was younger than the emperor, but as calm and rigorous as an old butler.
"If the war starts there, the primitive insect swarm will soon enter our encirclement." Augustus was walking on the road with flashing lights.
At this moment, Horace Warfield's second fleet, Prince Arcturus's sixth fleet and Matt Horner's imperial fleet have deployed a huge one within seventeen light-years of the Bracken galaxy.
Pocket Array. This big net blocks the original insect swarm's only path, just waiting for them to get in.
Once a fight begins, the loss of warships and casualties are inevitable.
Augustus knew that the number of casualties in the Battle of Bracken was probably less than one percent in this war.
At the same time, Augustus also deployed a fleet at Charsin, led by Vice Admiral Jackson Holler. Together with Stukov's fleet, there were more than a hundred battlecruisers alone.
Carlos the Cerebrate's Griffin Swarm also launched an attack, and it was obviously supported by the Overmind.
"It won't be long before the news reaches Augustgrad," said Faraday:
"The Empire will win!"
"Even if you say we might lose the battle, I won't cut off your head." Augustus said.
"We have the most powerful fleet of the Tyranids and the greatest emperor." Faraday said: "It is impossible to fail."
Augustus glanced at Farah for the first time and knew that this was not flattery, that was what she really thought.
"Tychus, what are you doing?" Augustus looked at Tychus beside him, who was rolling his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I want to pee." Tychus said.
"You are really out of your mind." The emperor knew that this guy was angry with him because he refused to let him drive Odin to the front line:
"Don't pee on your pants."
It's not that the empire didn't send Odin into the battlefield, but that Tychus's aircraft was ruined by himself in the past two days. This old boy also knew this, but he was as depressed as a retard.
"I'm going to throw you to Jimmy right now and let him throw you to the worms," said Augustus.
"Yeah!" Tychus cheered.
This is not the streets of Augustus Grad, but the Aurora Royal Shipyard located in Korhal's synchronous orbit.
Next to it is the vast parking platform of the Aurora Shipyard, and the signal lights of the accelerating orbit are shining brightly in the darkness. In the distance, Korhal IV turns into a dark blue background, with thousands of lights emitted by the spacecraft wake and navigation lights.
The lights shine like stars.
Ahead is the core area of the Aurora Shipyard, which has more than a thousand slides of different sizes and dry docks that can accommodate Gorgon-class battlecruisers. Ammunition and supplies are piled in huge supply stations.
In the Aurora Shipyard, the symbols of the Tyranid Empire can be seen everywhere, on every banner and flag.
There is also a city-sized drone manufacturing factory here, with tens of thousands of assembly workers working at the same time to produce attack drones (Assault drones) and fire-suppression drones that can be carried by battlecruisers.
, lattice defense drones, repair drones (Repair drone), auxiliary targeting drones (Targeting drone) and a series of drones.
Thanks to the advancement of AI technology, Augustus cooperated with the United States of Umoyan to develop new intelligent machinery. However, the current technology is still not perfect and needs to be assisted by manual operation.
These drones can replace fighter planes in bombing, interception or rescue missions.
A battlecruiser can also be a drone mothership. Such small drones do not take up much space. As long as the drawings are uploaded to the control center, they can be produced in any imperial starport.
Parked in a dry dock was the Hyperion, which was undergoing repairs. This old-fashioned Behemoth-class battlecruiser was a hero of the empire, and even now Augustus is reluctant to retire her.
When Augustus walked to the cabin entrance of the Hyperion and took a look, the engineers inside were floating in the air, working with wrenches.
Before he finished speaking, the engineers fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
Augustus originally wanted Swann to be a cabinet minister, but Mrs. Mainho refused to do anything and wanted to hang out with nut-wrench oil. His joy in life was drinking beer from a big, round wooden barrel cup.
Chew on pretzels.
Swann married several times, but none went smoothly.
"It seems you already know." Swann felt a little aggrieved:
