Great fusion of heaven and earth

The population is indeed not scarce in the Warhammer world, so they often exterminate some planets, and those planets may have polluted a planet just because of the appearance of worshipers of evil gods, and then they will destroy a planet or an entire planet. All humans in the star area are dealt with, often hundreds of millions or billions.

The number of human lives on the hands of every senior judge exceeds tens of billions.

Therefore, there is really no shortage of population for the human empire in the Warhammer world.

If tens of billions of people can be exchanged for these technologies, it will be a good thing for the human empire. However, they dare not do this because although they have a large population, these people belong to the empire. background, so they dare not give these people away casually.

These populations of the human empire can be sacrificed for the empire, can be destroyed due to the proliferation of cultists, or can even all die due to the invasion of the planet.

But if it is sold, that is absolutely not allowed.

Because this is a bottom line issue.

"This matter you are talking about is very difficult. There is no way we can agree to it. They are the population of our empire. They are the guarantee of the existence of our empire. We cannot use our foundation to sell them."

Guilliman shook his head. He would not dare to do such a thing at all, because it was too big.

For the benefit of the empire, people can be sacrificed, but people cannot be sold to obtain technology. These are two concepts.

"You're wrong. We don't want to traffic them. We just want them to immigrate to our world. Our world is developing the entire local galaxy cluster, and our population has some shortcomings, so We just hope that the population can be mobilized from other places to supplement it. The population of your world is large enough, so it was selected by us."

Zhuo Qun lit a cigar for himself and started smoking slowly. He knew very well that he should tell the truth at this time. After all, for the Warhammer world, the local galaxy cluster is a place that they cannot touch. Speaking out is a deterrent for them.

"Local galaxy cluster?"

"This range is a bit too big, isn't it? How did your world achieve the leap between galaxies?"

"Can you fly faster than light?"

The distance between river systems is measured in ten thousand light-years. Just like the Andromeda Galaxy, which is most likely to collide with the Milky Way, the distance between them is also 220 million light-years.

Even if we fly across this 220 million light-year distance at the speed of light, the time it takes is longer than the current history of mankind!
So they couldn't figure out how to bridge this distance.

"Space flight technology is divided into curvature engine technology and space-time jump technology. There is also space flight technology. What you use is subspace flight technology, while we use curvature engine technology and space-time jump technology."

"Of course, both of these technologies consume a lot of energy, so we use stars as our energy source and also use stars as our transition targets. After all, the energy of stars is nearly infinite, and it has a very large The quality can be used for ultra-long-distance anchoring. This technology is quite common among aerospace civilizations. Your civilization is an aerospace-level civilization. It is a pity that you do not have these technologies."

At this time, the Primarchs could hardly stand it any longer. Don't say that they don't have this technology now. Just like in the Golden Age, they didn't have this technology. They have always used the living planet as their coordinates, and have never thought about using it. Stars are coordinates.

As for things like curvature engines, let alone mention them. This kind of thing belongs to the core technology of an aerospace-level civilization, because any aerospace-level civilization needs this kind of super-light speed technology if it wants to truly develop. Therefore, Faster-than-light technology has always been the core thing of every top interstellar civilization.

Super-light technology can not only be used in interstellar navigation, but also in combat. Just like light particle strikes, this kind of weapon that can be used to destroy stars is super-light technology.

Of course, super-light technology is not so useful for many civilizations that have colonized across galaxies, so time and space jump technology has been brought out. However, these technologies do not exist in the Warhammer world. They The technology has long since turned from technology to semi-metaphysical stuff.

"Can you also use this level of technology?"

Guilliman had to admit that he was too tempted at this moment. If tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of people could be exchanged for these technologies, he would really be tempted. Not only would he be tempted, but the entire high-collar community would be tempted. The main council will be tempted.

This technology means they can travel beyond the galaxy.

"You can first provide curvature engine technology, stellar energy technology or anti-matter technology. To run the curvature engine, you need powerful energy, and the energy you have now is not enough. What you call fuel is for us. Things that are only used on the planet must use at least nuclear energy outside the planet, or at least nuclear fusion technology, and these technologies are really too high for you."

There is no nuclear fusion engine technology at all in the Warhammer world. Not to mention this technology, even the technology of nuclear weapons has been lost long ago.

It can even be said that their understanding of the world now is not as good as it was in the 20th century.

"Can't the technology you're talking about be replaced by fuel?"

Vulkan still feels that there is nothing wrong with his technology, so he feels that many things can be replaced. For example, their energy technology can burn anything. If it doesn't work, just pee. He felt there was nothing wrong with his technology. "I have to admit that your technology still has some things, at least in terms of energy science. It is also difficult for us to be able to make the machine move by just soaking in urine. Of course, this is not difficult to do, but For us, this kind of thing is not rational, and urine is not a suitable fuel, so what we use is all high-energy technology and what you are playing with is different. Your energy level seems to us to be very It’s too low.”

Zhuo Qun casually threw his cigar to the Primarchs. After the Primarchs smelled the cigars, a lot of information began to appear in their brains. These guys can be regarded as knowledgeable. , so they know exactly what it is, but they have never seen it at this level.

"Is this a natural cigar?"

"It's not completely natural. It has undergone some genetic modification. Otherwise, cigars are actually harmful to the human body. We have made some modifications to make the taste of this cigar more mellow, and at the same time, it can also have a certain moisturizing effect on the lungs. , it can be regarded as half a kind of medicinal material, at least smoking this kind of cigar will not cause lung cancer."

While Zhuo Qun was talking, he brought a few more bottles of old wine and poured everyone a glass. When they smelled the wine, they immediately felt relaxed and happy. They had not been exposed to wine made from grain for many years. , the best wine they came into contact with was red wine. As for grain wine, it was too luxurious.

From ancient times to the present, brewing wine with grain has always been a very luxurious thing, because grain is a major issue related to the stability of the world. If it is not a particularly wealthy era, few people will use grain to make wine. Most of the time, they drink All are fruit wine.

The same is true in the Warhammer world. People rarely drink wine brewed from grain. The most popular drink in this world is wine brewed from unknown materials.

But it is very likely that the person will be dead after drinking the wine. As for wine purely made from fruits and grains, almost no one exists in this world.

Even if that kind of wine existed, drinking it would cost one or several planets.

And even the Primarchs couldn't afford to drink this kind of wine, so now that they saw the wine in front of them, their throats were twitching, but they didn't dare to do it casually.

Because the price of this thing is too high, and it comes at the expense of the planet.

"It doesn't matter. This wine is nothing. You can drink it if you want. After all, we have space planting technology and can grow food, fruits, and vegetables in space. There is no shortage of these things in our world. Your world may There is a shortage, but it doesn’t happen here. We never worry about food. You have to know that each of us eats more than a few hundred kilograms every day.”

In fact, in the main world, various high-energy foods can already be invented to replace the current ingredients. But how can I put it, human beings’ pursuit of delicious food is also unlimited, so those high-energy foods and high-energy nutrients are not actually used by everyone. like.

Only space explorers and the military will store large amounts of this kind of stuff. The purpose of storing this kind of stuff is to avoid having to eat hundreds of kilograms of food to fill your stomach in an emergency. The role of high-energy food is It can be eaten quickly in an emergency. As for the taste, forget about it. It feels like winter dates with bananas.

But even this kind of food can be considered delicious in the Warhammer world.

So after the people in the Warhammer world learned about space planting technology, their eyes were shining. The Astartes of the Sons of the People almost jumped up when they heard that planting could be done in space. .

As one of the most famous chef groups in space, they have a very high pursuit of food. Now that they heard that they can grow various ingredients in space, they were even more excited.

They even almost accepted the request to trade the population, but they knew that it was impossible for them to make the decision on this matter.

But compared to those technologies, they felt that the population could be exchanged. Guilliman and the others already had this idea, but they couldn't bear it.

"Actually, when we talk to you about exchanging populations, we don't mean that we want to buy and sell those populations. We just need these populations to populate our planet. In our world, we are a very powerful civilization, but there is a very serious problem. That That is, the fertility rate of our population has decreased. Of course, as an immortal species with at least a lifespan of several thousand years, our fertility rate is indeed relatively low, and it also takes a long time to cultivate the population. The most important thing is What’s more, Cradleism has always been with us, so we rarely expand to the outside world.”

Zhuo Qun is very clear that cradleism has always existed, but cradleism has changed from the cradle of the home star to the cradle of the home galaxy. Although the cradle has become larger, everyone is still the type who settles down and settles down, and rarely looks outward. various expansions.

If we hadn't driven those other countries out of the solar system and allowed them to colonize other galaxies, human beings might not have even ventured out of a single cantilever of the Milky Way.

"Cradleism? What time is your civilization now?"

Guilliman also knew what this word meant, but he couldn't figure out what time he was from?
Any astronautic-level civilization will no longer have the problem of cradleism after entering the universe for 1000 years, because after entering the universe for 1000 years, astronautic-level civilization has already become accustomed to space travel, and many people even travel on spaceships. born, so there is no so-called cradleism for them.

"We have just entered the second hundred years of the third millennium, which is the time point of 2100 AD. At most, we are close to the third hundred years, which is the time point of 2200 years. Do you have any questions about this time?"

Zhuo Qun said these things indifferently, but everyone who heard these things were shocked, because at this time in the Warhammer world, humans have not yet left the earth.

"How is this possible? How could your technology advance so fast? We entered the era of space colonization, which was 15000 years later, and entered the golden age, which was between 22000 and 23000 years ago. Who are you? How did you do it? Can you get so far in a hundred years?"

The era of human space colonization lasted for a long time, but the golden age of humankind only lasted a few thousand years, so they couldn't understand how the world on the other side did it. How could it be done in hundreds of years? Making yourself so powerful cannot be explained clearly by the explosion of technology.

"It's quite simple. We just gathered some technologies from other worlds and made some improvements to our technology tree. Unlike you, you don't even have your own technology tree. We have complete technology. Of trees.”
