After the rebels on Planet Atoma were completely annihilated, several Hive City began a bustling reconstruction.
Various large construction machines leveled the charred and dilapidated buildings.
Subsequently, magnificent cities were built again on the foundations of the ruins.
The lives of the Hive City' populace also underwent earth-shattering changes compared to before.
Children of appropriate age were sent to school to study.
Adult men and women either joined the military or entered factories to become workers.
The social security system was gradually improved, unlike before when they were not treated as human beings.
The economy of Planet Atoma was also rapidly recovering.
Merchants repaired ships salvaged from the void, preparing to restart interstellar trade.
The Adeptus Mechanicus repaired shipyards and various void structures, recruited skilled workers to build starships, and improved void defenses.
The mining of the asteroid belt was also put on the agenda.
After thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of mining, the mineral resources of Planet Atoma were nearing depletion.
However, humanity's utilization of resources in the entire star system was still less than 0.5%.
The vast void has enough resources for humanity to squander.
Alex also had Sage Kaska use gene technology to mass-produce computational servitors.
He ordered the Adeptus Mechanicus to genetically modify their brains to increase the servitors' brain capacity.
These computational servitors would be used to create automated flesh-wetware factories, mining servitors, and so on, to improve production efficiency.
The cultivation of Astartes also got on track.
Updates are not easy, remember to share 101ksw.com.
I don't know if it's because of the Emperor's direct blessing.
The speed of cultivating gene organs using Players' gene seeds was much faster than that of ordinary Astartes.
In just over a month, the gene organs grew to a transplantable stage.
When implanted into the human body, there was basically no rejection, and the mortality rate was much lower than normal.
According to Sage Kaska's calculations, a God Chosen's gene seed only needs two to three months to turn an ordinary person into an Astartes.
If nothing unexpected happens, Alex will most likely be able to bring a ship full of Astartes to participate in the Battle of Macragge.
In that case, his say will greatly increase.
At the same time, new Players who obtained reservation slots also entered the game.
The entire Praying Sanctuary was packed to the brim.
"It seems we need to add a login point at the cathedral in Tyreen Hive City."
Alex stood on a high place, overlooking the crowded praying hall.
Players always log into the Warhammer world for the first time in the Praying Sanctuary.
If it's not their first time, they have two options: one is to return to the initial login point, which is the Praying Sanctuary.
The other option is to log in where they logged out.
If they are resurrected, they are uniformly resurrected at the initial login point.
Alex discovered a long time ago that he could set the initial login point and resurrection point.
But it required a large amount of faith value, which was not cost-effective.
Now, with ample faith value and Planet Atoma taken, it was time to put this matter on the agenda.
"Welcome to hell, Emperor's..."
Cortana appeared before the new Players, reciting the lines Alex had given her.
Unlike previous times, Alex did not show his face to the new Players this time.
Instead, he handed this task over to Cortana.
Cortana said what Alex had instructed her to say, and then let the Players move freely.
The representatives of various Warbands waiting outside the praying hall could no longer hold back; as soon as the process was over, they immediately stepped forward to recruit people.
"There are 1,500 Players this time, and they all came online at the same time.
The user stickiness of Warhammer OL can make other game companies cry."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pick people, good prospects will be snatched by other Warbands later."
"Soulless, anyone? Exclusive team, anyone want to join?"
"Brothers who like to pilot mechs, come this way, join and get an exoskeleton armor."
"Anyone who designs aircraft and ships in Holy Terra (Earth/Reality), we're planning to build warships, interested? Come chat."
Alex was happy to see Warbands recruiting new members.
He even issued a [Task: Help] and gave contribution point rewards.
He encouraged Warbands to absorb newly online novices and guide them in playing the game.
On one hand, it was to help new Players quickly get into the swing of things, so they wouldn't stumble around like headless chickens.
On the other hand, it was to help new Players integrate into the game and prevent their enthusiasm from being affected by a poor initial experience.
The rebellion on Planet Atoma has been quelled.
Large-scale wars will not happen in the short term.
New Players who want to level up will have to start from other aspects.
For example, assisting in the reconstruction of Hive City, or training in the training ground to comprehend skills and improve levels.
Of course, this speed would definitely be much slower than fighting on the battlefield.
But there was no other way.
Alex couldn't start a war unprepared just for the sake of Players leveling up.
"Just releasing tasks isn't enough; the Warband system also needs to be improved."
"They need to truly see the benefits of recruiting and guiding new Players."
"First, divide Warband levels: the more Players recruited, the higher the level, the larger the scale supported, and the more benefits."
"We also need to encourage Players to innovate more, otherwise, if they're always stagnant like the Human Empire, we'll lose the original intention of bringing them into the game."
Under the influence of the Players, Father Tina, Sage Kaska, and other Adeptus Mechanicus members gradually broke free from dogmatic constraints and explored new technologies.
But this was far from enough.
They needed to intensify their efforts and find ways to restore humanity's technology to the Golden Age.
Just as Alex was thinking about how to make the Players play a greater role, Cortana appeared beside him.
"Master, we received a Human Empire warship communication."
"Human Empire warship communication? Which department does it belong to?"
"The other party claims to be Star Realm Knights."
Alex was stunned for a moment.
The founding date of the Star Realm Knights Warband is unknown.
Their gene seed can be traced back to the Imperial Fists.
This Warband is very famous because they destroyed the Necrons World Engine.
The World Engine was a super-death star, immensely powerful, capable of destroying a planet with a single shot.
All weapons of the Human Empire fleet could not penetrate the World Engine's terrifying shield.
However, the World Engine's weapons could easily destroy any Human Empire warship.
Just as the war situation plunged into despair, and the Human Empire was preparing to withdraw, abandoning tens of billions of Human Empire citizens, the Star Realm Knights stepped forward.
They refused to obey the retreat order.
They also planned to use their flagship, the 'Storm,' to ram the World Engine.
By doing so, they successfully deployed the entire Warband's forces on the surface of the World Engine.
They engaged in fierce combat with the Necrons army on the World Engine.
Ultimately, they made a deal with Igranyada, the Star God Shard imprisoned within the World Engine.
The Star Realm Knights exchanged the release of the entity for its paralysis of the World Engine's shield, creating an opportunity for the Human Empire fleet to destroy it.
Eventually, they achieved their goal, and the Chapter Master destroyed the force field device that imprisoned Igranyada.
The freed Igranyada fulfilled its promise, not only paralyzing the World Engine's shield but also killing the ruler of the Necrons Dynasty.
In that battle, the Human Empire was victorious, destroying the World Engine.
However, the price was that all the effective forces of the Star Realm Knights Warband were killed in action.
Only 30 new recruits and an ancient Dreadnought remained on their home world, Obsidian.
Considering that the Star Realm Knights Warband could not be rebuilt, the Human Empire allowed the Sable Swords to take over all of the Star Realm Knights' legacy, including their home world.
Thus, the last survivors of the Star Realm Knights Warband lost everything.
To defend their last shred of glory, they left their home world and launched a 'suicide expedition' from which there was no return.
"How could they appear here?" Alex frowned. "Connect the communication; I want to talk to them."
