Chapter 577 The Current Situation of the Empire

"Please ask employee A-00112, supervisor Wang Zhaofeng, to rush to the Brood Weapon R&D Center as soon as possible."

"All personnel, please note that the company would like to remind everyone that you must follow the inspection, isolation and disinfection procedures and regulations. If you violate it, the minimum punishment will be expulsion."

“Ask staff…”

The high-rise hall was buzzing with people, but the mechanical female voice broadcast drowned out everyone's conversations.

Moreover, the height of the high-rise hall is fourteen meters, and the outermost perimeter is surrounded by panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. The lighting is excellent, and many transmission matrices are planned using a "well" structure...

That is, a glass tube building similar to a cylindrical glass tube.

These areas are marked with holographic screens as "Titan (access level: very high/requires special application)", "Europa scientific research station", "Mars Foundry", etc., and there is also "Luna Base (access level:

high)".

At this moment, Volcan, Anakin and their equipment and luggage are located in the teleportation area of ​​Luna Base.

The two left the glass column.

After arriving at the crowded and more open public area...

??!

The originally noisy environment suddenly fell silent.

And the people who were busy stopped one after another and looked at Wokkan and Anakin in astonishment.

The original body...

There are only a few of them out of the empire's population of thousands, close to ten thousand. The most important thing is that each Primarch has a terrifying height and extremely strong physique, and is the strongest existence besides the Emperor.

This is also destined to mean that ordinary people cannot see the original body with their own eyes, let alone observe or come into contact with it at close range, even for internal Umbrella employees.

However, what is before everyone's eyes now are the two "living" original bodies?

Although Volcan and Anakin have not been open to the public or announced, as an Umbrella employee, his face is very childish and shy, and he is already two and three meters tall, which directly rules out Astartes or Astartes.

Possibility of the Custodes.

On the other hand, look at Volkan and Anakin.

The two brothers were also a little nervous, because this was the first time they appeared alone in public without their father or the company of the doctors and the red and white queens.

Especially some female employees, after throwing unclear glances at the two of them, Anakin, who was much more active than Volcan, couldn't help but blush.

"Boom, boom."

However, with the sound of footsteps unique to the magnetic boots, everyone finally recovered from their surprise and focused on their own affairs.

It is a team equipped with Mjolnir Hammer Mark XII (the latest model, the power backpack has almost disappeared, more lightweight, suitable for assault or stealth), and the helmet adopts the "囧" face Mark III style according to custom. They choose to patrol and pass by at this moment.

, temporarily relieving the embarrassing crisis between the two foreign primarch brothers.

Although the original body is rare, "Human Truth" has been promoted for nearly two hundred years, and the "equality" experience has long been spread among the people.

This is not to say that there are no "privileges". Privileges such as military personnel being given priority, families of martyrs being given priority, etc. are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because these people are worthy of admiration and respect.

Therefore, today's human empire society will not have the crazy fans and star effect in some universes for so-called celebrities, actors or Internet celebrities.

People just think that with high salaries and incomes, this group of people must produce qualified works and be stricter in their words and deeds than ordinary residents. Otherwise, they will be hidden or banned in minutes.

This alone eliminates any "showing off" and "looking down on" people.

They were "only" Primarchs, and they were still two minor Primarchs. They had no outstanding achievements, and the employees were mostly out of curiosity.

But if Sanguinius and Fulgrim were present, some female employees might go "crazy".

See the situation.

Wokkan and Anakin nodded to the group of Iron Fist brothers and expressed their gratitude, then came to the "service terminal" at the edge of the public hall.

Waited in line for a while.

The two came to a holographic terminal with a physical touch.

After a few operations, Anakin pulled up the flight information for Raccoon City Airport.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning in Raccoon City at this time, and the flight directly leaving the main universe and heading to Universe 03 would only need to be after five o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest, because this kind of "long-distance" travel flight requires many preparations to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

However, the prices for direct flights are on the high side, with the lowest one-way ticket costing 1,000 Imperial Coins (the purchasing power is equivalent to 4,000 Soft Girl Coins).

The two of them have pocket money, but they buy a lot of things online every month. Volcano buys different metal raw materials from various galaxies, while Anakin buys more comics (paper), games and vehicle models.

After all, the two of them can be described as senior "otakus."

One thousand imperial coins…

A bit expensive.

?

Continuing to browse, Anakin discovered that if he departed at 5:40 in the evening, he would need to spend fifteen minutes to arrive at Macragge, and then at 1 pm the next day local time, that is, twenty-six hours later, he would leave for Macragge.

Terra from Universe 03.

The most important thing is that a one-way ticket for one person is only 600?

"This..." Anakin raised his right hand and quickly clicked on the flight's entry with his index finger, displaying the detailed information in front of the two of them:

"Brother, this may be a cruise ship. Not only can you enjoy the scenery, but you can also visit Brother Robert's Macragge. What do you think?"

"Okay." Wokan had no objection.

"Okay, I'll pay for the ticket, and you'll pay for the delicious food and drinks there?"

"Um."

"Okay! I paid."

After finalizing the trip goal, the two immediately touched the holographic panel to enter the biological system. When the payment page opened, Anakin took the initiative to put his right hand up and paid a thousand and two.

Book your tickets.

A mechanical female voice came from the service terminal to remind: "Please wait a moment, both of you, the deliveryman is about to arrive. It is expected in fifteen seconds...

Five seconds…”

Following a brief countdown, a "delivery man" with a suspension device, painted in bright white and yellow, and whose overall shape was like a mechanical sentry, but with a rounder appearance and less sharp tentacles than before, came to the service.

This side of the terminal.

The female voice also continued to remind: "You two, you can transfer your luggage to the deliveryman and handle the check-in business."

In response to this, the two chose to consign the goods without thinking, and even filled out the declaration form and specifically marked "dangerous goods".

The Human Empire has never stopped selling thermal weapons to the civilian population.

But until now, there have been less than 10,000 violent cases caused by thermal weapons, and all requirements, specifications and laws are very mature.

In addition, scanning, monitoring and other technologies are very complete, and thermal weapons can be transported even through express delivery, consignment, and intra-city delivery (both delivery and receiving parties need to have licenses).

As long as it is a regular colony, the possibility of smuggling is basically eliminated, let alone the earth at the core of the empire.

Volkan, Anakin's melee weapon, will most likely be stamped with a "valuable and dangerous item" label when it is sent to members for scanning.

As for the delivery guy…

The current human empire has adopted a large number of machines to improve efficiency and facilitate society.

What the two brothers see in front of them is one of the representatives. As long as they can find a service terminal, they can arrange various services anytime and anywhere, freeing their hands.

Even so, the word unemployment rate has disappeared for a long time. Although the service, construction, manufacturing and other industries are approaching saturation, for a society with almost unlimited resources, there is no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Anakin felt that buying a plane ticket was expensive simply because Sui Bian would not let their original body spend money lavishly.

The shipment is processed.

The two of them did not stay in the Umbrella Building. They used the teleportation elevator to go directly to the lobby on the first floor and then to First Avenue in downtown Raccoon City.

Standing at the front door, looking up, it seems that the blue sky can only be observed through a "gap", and the street lights and lighting equipment are complete, making it difficult for the two original subjects to judge whether it is day or night without looking up.

.

The main reason is that the surrounding buildings are giant office buildings and apartments, all with a height of 500 meters, which makes it feel inexplicably depressing.

Fortunately, imperial law stipulates that all buildings must not exceed 1,500 meters in height, and applications and certifications are required for buildings above 1,000 meters, so the hierarchical structure like Coruscant is directly avoided from the source.

As for the pedestrians around, most of them were wearing black formal suits (similar to Chinese tunic suits, not suits), and they were marching forward, as if they were rushing to the destination.

After all, most of the residents who can stay here to work and live are elites from all walks of life, and they are among the elites in the trillions. The pace is generally very fast, and they can't wait to make use of all their time.

When they saw the two primarchs, although some people were stunned for a moment, they quickly continued to devote themselves to their own affairs.

Mainly because pedestrians were not as knowledgeable as Umbrella employees and mistook the two primarchs for ordinary Astartes.

Only a few travelers will sigh in a low voice, then take out their mobile phones to take photos, preparing to publish some posts on social networks to satisfy a certain degree of "showing off" mentality.

and.

As a city with a very important status in the empire, while the two original bodies were wandering around, they also saw many Glory Iron Fists who were responsible for patrolling. This is a sight that would be unimaginable in the urban areas of most colonies.

Today's Raccoon City is already a steel jungle, but some iconic buildings such as the "Clock Tower", "City Hall", and "Police Station" have been preserved.

At the same time, some holographic projection screens also played recruitment propaganda for the Imperial Navy and Army.

One of the more classic scenes is that of ordinary Imperial soldiers standing on the far left, and to the right are Krieg, Sangheili, Auxiliary Army and Astartes.

Although the Ironbloods and some of the Vaelin tribe are already human citizens, their population base is not even a fraction of that of the Sangheili, and naturally they cannot become representative roles in the imperial military.

The two brothers used the public transportation system to visit many famous attractions, including the wax museum where the Emperor and the Plague Doctor, Wang Shaofeng and others held meetings, etc.

And not just Raccoon City, but all cities and settlements in the solar system have exclusive Astartes seats in their public transportation systems, restaurants, and shopping malls.

After all, the total number of reserves of other legions, Iron Fist of Glory and Thutmose is at least more than 500,000 every year, and this number is still rising.

When the designated holidays for their respective legions come, some Astartes will also take off their armor, put down their bolters, and enjoy the long-lost comfort.

Afternoon.

After Wokkan and Anakin tasted the sweet Chinese-style fast food placed in the mall, Wokkan and Anakin rushed to the suburban zoo without stopping.

I saw "wild" griffins that were all paralyzed on the ground motionless, and even had bellies growing, and I also saw hydras that had their teeth pulled out and their venom glands removed.

At this point, the two of them were finally contented to take the rail train to the star port in the suburbs where many cruise ships, cargo ships and merchant ships with a length of more than five kilometers were parked.

However, the target cruise ship of the two original bodies seemed too small next to those behemoths.

It is a "small" yacht only 600 meters long.

After the two of them used their biometric information to pass the security check under the surprised eyes of the staff, and finally sat in the special seats at the back of the left cabin arranged by the flight attendant, they finally understood why it was so cheap...

Because it has a “cheap” quality everywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the flight has taken off as usual. Please fasten your seat belts to avoid unnecessary accidents."

Following the gentle reminder from the flight attendant, Anakin, who was sitting by the window, saw that the scenery outside the window first slowly moved away from the star port area. After reaching the top of the clouds, the yacht immediately launched an instant jump.

Just for a moment.

A "thin line" of black and white streaked through the scenery outside the window, and then, what appeared in front of him and his brother was Pluto, which had a bare surface and was overall brown, and...

The star gate is like a large device.

Even though they were more than 100,000 kilometers away, the two original bodies could still see an endless stream of ships entering and exiting the seemingly "mirror" star gate according to their respective routes.

at this time.

The yacht adopted a normal sailing with maximum power and arrived at the channel directly in front of the star gate in less than half a minute, and then continued its normal approach towards the "mirror".

After the cruise ship came into contact with the "mirror" at high speed and passed through it, it was still surrounded by dark space with starlight, and nothing seemed to have changed much.

However, the starlight that should have been motionless turned into dense "parallel meteors" like the "super-light voyage" shown in the science fiction works of the mid-to-late twentieth century, and even passed by brilliantly colored meteors.

nebula.

After seeing such a scenery, the two brothers, who left the solar system for the first time, couldn't help but sigh...

The money was not wasted.

Fifteen minutes flew by.

When Volcan, Anakin and the other passengers left the cabin, walked out of the corridor bridge and arrived at the starport, preparing to take out their checked luggage and continue to enjoy the alien scenery of Macragge, they saw a victorious army equipped with exclusive Terminators.

Come towards them.

However, the first person is a female Vailin tribesman who is wearing a slim-fitting blue robe and has waist-length light yellow hair. She has a delicate appearance but has slender ears??

The other person approaches.

Smile.

He got straight to the point: "Welcome to Macragge, both of you. I am Evreni, and I am here to greet his brothers on behalf of the Lord of the Limits."

These chapters are a transition, looking at the current life of the empire through the two primarchs. Tomorrow will be the emergence of "abnormalities". A preview image will be released. I don't know if it will pass the review...
