Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

In recent years, there has been a lot of movement like Morese.

Because he received a lot of complicated information.

It was some kind of subtle fluctuation of consciousness, and he could feel himself being blessed by some kind of power.

Its soul power is growing.

Li Meng raised his head slightly and looked at the white sun that was very close at hand.

The Emperor's power is really endless.

Could it be that the demise of the empire in the old era was the demise of trillions of empire subjects that contributed to the emperor's great power?

You must know that this is how the evil god Slaanesh was born.

His (her) birth not only sacrificed 90% of the Eldar population, but the surviving Eldar were also devastated by him.

Could it be that the Emperor put the four evil gods to sleep and silenced the subspace?

is it possible?

Of course it's possible.

Based on the population base of the Empire's subjects in the old era, once they are wiped out and sacrificed, it will be enough for the Emperor to become the most powerful being in the subspace.

After thinking for a while, Li Meng felt quite bored.

I stopped thinking and threw all the things I shouldn't have thought out of my mind.

It doesn't matter what the facts are.

It's foolish to think of a mystery that can never be solved.

"It's better to sleep..."

I don’t know how long I will sleep this time.

But Li Meng could feel that the emperor's power was coming to him bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Li Meng closed his eyes.

His body is constantly changing between illusion and reality, which is very magical.

The sun and the moon fly by like a shuttle.

In the material world, time is passing rapidly.

Year after year...

——

S-71739 star system.

New Terra.

Since the Star Torch was illuminated, the empire has ushered in a period of great exploration.

Under the Imperial Navy's day and night exploration, the entire Dark Territory is unraveling its mystery bit by bit.

Star systems have been discovered one after another, and habitable planets have been discovered one after another.

A large number of mining strongholds and imperial outposts have sprung up all over the Dark Territory.

The development of the new Terra star has not been left behind.

With the implementation of the artificial human policy, the empire has ushered in an era of rapid population growth.

On the surface of New Terra, cities have risen from the ground.

And it is spreading outward with the population explosion.

Soon, within ten years, a large number of cities were connected.

According to the request of the "King", in order to avoid destroying the natural environment of the planet due to population pressure.

The Empire is divided into three levels for habitable planets.

They are barren, fertile and rich respectively.

Barren planets refer to planets such as desert planets, swamp planets, and ice and snow planets that are not suitable for human habitation.

Its population is capped at 2 billion.

The upper limit for the population of a fertile-level habitable planet is 5 billion.

The upper limit of the population of a rich and habitable planet is 10 billion.

It can be reduced within a certain range according to the size of the planet, and the upper and lower limits of the population can be increased.

Limiting the population not only ensures a suitable living environment for the people of the empire.

It can also promote the empire's overseas colonization.

Imperial Senate, in the Senate Chamber.

In the morning, in the council room, the seven elders gathered together for a daily meeting.

"It's been almost ten years. The king hasn't woken up yet. Did something unexpected happen? Just like Ark 1..."

For more than ten years, the Imperial Navy has been searching for the Ark 1, but nothing has been found.

Ark 1 disappeared mysteriously.

As for the "King", since the star torch was lit, the "King" disappeared.

They thought that the "King" would appear again in a few years just like last time.

But this time seems different from the last time.

Regarding Gavin Matthew's words, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Only Marianne looked calm.

The power of the battle sisters is still there, which means that the "king" is not seriously injured, but is just sleeping.

It's only been ten years, and Marianne doesn't think it's been that long.

Even if she sleeps for another ten years, Marianne will not be as anxious as other elders.

After thinking about it, Marianne decided to appease everyone.

"About the "King", you adults don't need to worry, the "King" will wake up when it's time to wake up."

As expected, when Marian said these words, everyone felt a lot more at ease.

Regarding the topic of "king", everyone stopped with a tacit understanding.

After looking around at everyone, Charles said in a deep voice: "Using the time gap in recent years, the empire's population has increased dramatically. So far, it has exceeded 2 billion. Most of them are artificial humans. Only more than 200 million are born naturally. Although the population needs It was satisfied, but it also led to some other questions. You should know that artificial humans do not have parents. They will leave the artificial womb when they are seven years old and enter the Imperial Academy to grow up. Perhaps because of the environment in which they grow, many adults The future artificial humans have no sense of family, and their desire for reproduction is extremely low. Among newborn babies, the proportion of artificial human offspring is extremely low. This situation must be changed, otherwise the artificial human policy will have to be canceled in advance. "

Although this is a matter for the Executive Yuan, it concerns the future of the empire and no one dares to be careless.

They also felt about the fertility issues of artificial humans.

How should I put it? There is no difference between artificial humans and naturally born humans.

It's just that compared to humans born naturally, the first half of an artificial person's life is planned.

After the age of seven, he will enter the Imperial College for systematic study.

After they reach adulthood, the college will assign them a job and give them a living allowance.

If you don't like the job assigned by the college, you can resign and find your own way to survive.

After entering society, artificial people will have freedom.

They can fall in love freely, form families, and reproduce.

But the performance of artificial humans after entering society is worrying.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been used to having my life planned since childhood.

The androids are very dedicated to the work assigned by the academy.

The resignation rate is less than 0.01%.

They are workaholics, dedicated to their duties.

Among the more than one billion artificial humans of marriageable age, less than 40 million are capable of starting a family.

There are even fewer families that have offspring.

After thinking for a while, Ralph said: "Then let the Executive Yuan intervene to improve the ideological awareness of artificial people to form families and breed offspring. If necessary, we can formulate some policies to let them know that forming families and breeding offspring are important. Also loyal to the empire."

Rowell nodded and said, "This is a good idea, it's feasible!"

No one else had an opinion either.

This is a matter for the Executive Yuan. They can make suggestions, but how to do it is up to Charles himself.

In just ten years, there were more than 2 billion people.

If there is no time gap, it is impossible to do it.

But android technology isn't perfect.

No matter how perfect the artificial human technology is, it cannot compare with naturally born humans.

Because nature has an adaptive ability to adjust sexual desire.

The genes of naturally born babies are not fixed and can mutate randomly.

It may get better, it may get worse.

But the chance of getting better is greater.

Although the genes of artificial humans have been artificially adjusted, they appear to be perfect.

But it lacks the ability to evolve itself.
