Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 11 Future Planning
After showing off his power sword, Chen Xi did not return to the Warhammer world immediately.

The situation of Rostov II was good, and there was nothing that required his immediate attention. Moreover, the chess piece itself could be left idle and managed, operating independently according to Chen Xi's preset instructions, and did not require his constant attention.

Moreover, according to the information introduced by the Servo Skull, Chen Xi's correct use of his authority in the 3K era was to manipulate the chess pieces through the box.

The possessed chess piece travels to the Warhammer world, more to facilitate his micro-manipulation.

After all, as the authority is improved in the later stages, the points that can be mobilized will increase, and Chen Xi may have to invest chess pieces worth tens of thousands of points.

If he were to personally command and control so many chess pieces, it would undoubtedly be a huge test of his ability.

Relatively speaking, it is undoubtedly much simpler to conduct sandbox-style remote command with the help of a box.

However, for Chen Xi, these are things that can be considered later. What he is more concerned about now is whether he can bring things from the 3K era to the 40K era.

"Can I bring things from this world to that world?" Chen Xi asked the servo skull.

"According to the Emperor's regulations, you can carry supplies that do not exceed the personal carry-on limit to the 40K era, and vice versa." The Servo Skull's answer was simple and direct.

This answer was acceptable to Chen Xi. After all, although he didn't know how the Emperor was able to travel between the two worlds and trade things at the same time, it was obviously not a simple matter.

In Chen Xi's opinion, being able to carry some personal belongings was already very good.

He had even prepared himself for not being able to move between the two worlds. Now that he could carry his belongings with him, many things became much more convenient and simpler.

Apart from anything else, getting seeds of various crops from the 3K era to Rostov II is much easier than getting seeds in the 40K era.

Even though it was an interstellar era where technology had developed to an incredible level, their logistics convenience might not be as good as that of Seres in the 3K era.

This is not an exaggeration. In the 3K era, thanks to convenient logistics and online shopping, Chen Xi can easily get seeds of at least hundreds of crops, and they are cheap and in large quantities.

As long as he wants, he can open the shopping website and people can directly package and send him seeds of more than a hundred kinds of crops, and the price is only a few dozen yuan.

But in the 40K era, that would be troublesome. Apart from anything else, just finding the source of crop seeds is a very troublesome task.

The Mechanicus does have quite a few high-quality seeds, but first of all, not every Forge World has a full range of seeds to choose from. Just figuring out how to buy seeds from the Mechanicus is a hassle.

Although the oil men will often sell seeds as long as you pay them, the key is that Chen Xi cannot afford to buy seeds from the oil men now.

In the 3K era, you could get something with just a few dozen bucks, but in the 40K era, you'd have to empty a planet to get it.

Don’t be surprised, oil men are all Pixiu, they only eat and don’t poop!

It's better to expect the Emperor to pull his ass off the Golden Throne than to expect them to be generous. Even though Chen Xi was able to get a lot of help from Sage Olivia, it was because Olivia was an ostracized, even persecuted, sage!
What Mechanicus Magus in the Empire doesn't have a full-fledged Skitarii around him? This thing wasn't invented by the Mechanicus, but was modified by the Magus himself!

If a sage has no Crusaders around him, there are only two possibilities: one is that they were killed, and the other is that they were confiscated.

Olivia undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. She was politically persecuted by the Forging World she belonged to. Not only was she deprived of the treatment a sage deserved, she might even have been exiled.

According to Olivia, she has nothing left. Apart from her knowledge, she has no bargaining chips to trade.

That's why she was so easy to talk to and looked like she had already risked everything.

If it were any other sage with normal treatment, Chen Xi was sure that even if he sold Rostov II, he might not be able to get as much help as Olivia now.

Of course, the Necrons' grave on the Rostov II should be worth a lot of money. If Chen Xi sells this information to the Mechanicus, he should be able to get a lot in return.

But given the stinginess of the Mechanicus, it is more likely that he will not gain any benefits. Instead, during the process of the Mechanicus excavating the tombs of the Necrons, the planet will be blown up by the war between the Mechanicus and the Necrons.

The best that could happen is that the entire planet's population would be taken away by the Mechanicus and turned into assembly line parts that are literally welded to workstations, serving as free mechanical servants for the Mechanicus for hundreds of years.

These guys are really capable of doing such a thing, especially the Necromancer's Grave, which is related to alien technology and heretical technology. The Mechanicus does not want the Empire to know that they are researching this.

Even within the Mechanicus, a certain faction would not be willing to let other factions know about this.

More extreme, some sages might even kill everyone on the planet who knows about this...

However, these have little to do with Chen Xi now. He has already dealt with Olivia, and she obviously would not want others to know that there is a grave of the dead on the Rostov II.

As long as Chen Xi doesn't leak the news, it is unlikely to attract the attention of other oil men.

After all, Rostov II is a frontier world, which is a rural area that may be ignored for hundreds of years in the Empire in the 40K era.

"Since there is no imminent threat for the time being, development is the focus of our attention right now. At the very least, we need to mobilize the planetary defense force, so that we don't end up without the troops to deal with it if the Tomb of the Undead really blows up." Chen Xi found a pen and paper, and listed the problems he was facing and the things that needed to be solved on the paper, and then sorted them one by one according to their importance.

There is no doubt that his top priority now is to develop Rostov II and boost the planet's economy.

As I said, having money may not be everything, but not having money is absolutely impossible.

"Come to think of it, I still have over 200 points to work with. Should I invest in some more units?" Chen Xi rubbed his chin, thinking seriously, "There's a state religion on the planet. Perhaps I can invest more combat nuns, and then, through the cooperation between the combat nuns and the state religion, form a sisterhood on the Rostov II and train a group of combat nuns?"
"Training on your own should be more efficient than me placing chess pieces, right? Right now, it's only 500 points, so these chess pieces are really just enough for seeding."
