Invincible Chapter 1269

If the Emperor's Great Crusade period represented Rome in its heyday, then the Ultramar star region located on the southeastern border of the Far East star region was like the Byzantine Empire, the continuation of Rome after the disintegration.

Unlike most Space Marine Chapters, which have only one home world (the Home World), the Ultramarines (including a host of sub-chapters) have five hundred worlds.

This is Ultramar, as far as the Emperor's Astronomican can shine.

Macragge is the capital star of this star area. It is the third most important planet in the empire, the second is Mars, and the first is Terra.

One of the peculiarities of Macragge is that the Imperium is the only planet allowed to rule over other planets.

In addition to the eight worlds directly under Macragge, Robert Guilliman divided the Ultramar star region into five parts in the east, west, north, south, and middle, and the four quarters were ruled by the four heroes he appointed.

The five hundred worlds are nothing compared to the huge human empire, but this place is very prosperous, a country that is relatively exquisite and better than the average level of the imperial world in all aspects, just like the fiefdom of ancient princes.

Of course, in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where is the escape from bad luck? It is often either rotten, like tofu in the ashes, or it is piled up and slaughtered like a pig.

The Ultramar star area was targeted by the loving father Nurgle. The plague war was very famous, and in the empire, this kind of fame often meant that many people died.

But that was hundreds of years later, and it is now 140 years of the 41st millennium. Although the situation in the empire is very bad, it is far from being as bad as it was later.

Kane didn't come to the Ultramar star area this time either.

The Ultramar star region is almost the same as the current Gothic star region. There are very few wild areas in it, and they are basically swept away by the diligent Ultramarines.

If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?

In this regard, the Ultramarines are the best of the warbands.

The place Kane is going to is the northeast of the Ultramar star area, which is already beyond the farthest range that the astronomical torch can illuminate.

As I said before, because Terra, the cradle of the human empire, is located on the third arm of the galaxy, not the center, the Emperor's Astronomical Torch cannot encompass the entire galaxy.

Then, according to the star map of the human empire, no matter how far east the Far East star field is, the glory of the empire can hardly shine. It's really barbaric.

And here, a relatively young intelligent species called the Tau has already begun its journey of rise.

It took them about 6,000 years to develop civilization from a primitive tribe to an interstellar colony. However, because they have not yet mastered the subspace navigation technology, the pace of colonization is still relatively slow.

As for this civilization, in one sentence, if the human empire is a black sci-fi version of Europe during the Crusades with the Milky Way as the stage, then the Tau tribe is Japan.

The family world of the Tau family is easy to think of those famous chaebol families in island countries, such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and so on.

And the way of the best and the best that the Tau tribe advocates is quite similar to that of the '**** circle'. Even on the surface, they share prosperity and secretly play tricks. They are quite similar.

For example, the Poktong intelligent race that joined the Tau Empire for the first time, within a few generations, the strange disease basically wiped out their population, and the Tau people's physique is very suspicious, just immune to this plague, so the Tau The clansman naturally filled the home world of the Pokemon people, and gradually turned it into the capital planet of the home world of "Burke Ann" in the future...

The Tau tribe is also a population with a very high degree of mechanization of the humanoid army. So high that many imperial people who don't know much about them think they are mechanical life forms.

Not really, the Tau are humanoid beings, but shorter and thinner than the Imperials. They have a full line of armor suits.

From close-fitting armor, to wearable exoskeleton power suits, to the 3-meter-high mech armor similar to Iron Man's anti-Hulk armor, to the 6-meter-high dreadnought mecha that can confront the space warriors. Various types of mechas, and even a Titan class that fights against giant beast units...

all in all,

The Tau tribe is an island country. From "Ghost in the Shell", to "Apple Core Wars", to "Armored Troopers", and "Gundam Series", you can see specious things in the Tau tribe. It is estimated that you will master subspace navigation in the future , in order to fight against evil gods and demons, there will also be tactical machines in "MUV" and decisive weapons in "EVA".

The Tau race is the weakest independent faction among the known races of Warhammer 40K.

Moreover, their birthplace and the surrounding environment are also harsh.

There is the second largest Orc Empire in the entire galaxy.

There is also the Necromancer's Sotek Dynasty Tombs area.

And Ultramarines Five Hundred Worlds.

In the future, there will even be Nurgle's Plague Legion and a Tyranid united fleet visiting successively...

But Kane knew that even so, the Tau would not perish.

Not because of their good reputation as "the only (false) hope in despair", but because of good luck (models are selling well, and the god of creation is open)!

As for now, if it wasn't for the wrong style of painting, the Tau clan would be broadcasting songs like "Today is a good day" every day, because the Tau clan launched the second fleet expedition for the "Second Sunday" plan, although it has not yet It is completed, but victory is also expected, and the territory has been greatly expanded.

Even those who don't understand economics can still understand what kind of prosperity and abundance will be brought to the Tau race from the population to the individual by assimilating the resources of these new worlds in the future.

Kane knew that the Tau's plans for the first and second weeks were successful, which can be seen from an expedition and a corresponding plan.

A large part of the reason for these two successes is due to the relatively small expansion intensity and the distance from the problem-prone star area, and there is still a little distance.

Behind this, the main reason is that the Tau race has not yet mastered the subspace warp technology, and they will not have their own subspace navigators until the Nicasars join their camp.

And to complete this step, if the pace of the original history is followed, it will take nearly a thousand years.

Compared with the great development of the human empire in the past, the Tau tribe can be called a tortoise-speed expansion, but at least it has a "stable" character, occupying a region, operating a region, digesting a region, and making a living step by step.

In all fairness, Kane appreciates the various aspects of the Tau race, the "higher goodness" than the empire.

What exactly is the Highest Good Way?

Its external expression is as follows:

At the grassroots level, only the division of labor and organization are different, and there is no difference between high and low. However humble his individual work is, it is respected by his fellows, for each is part of a great whole, and a contributing factor to the common good.

Does it feel a little familiar?

Yes, very heavenly.

anything else.

For example, compared to conquering by force, the Tau people are more inclined to absorb peacefully, those intelligent races that have similar qualities to the races that have converted to the "Higher Good".

To put it bluntly, if you are honest, obedient, and willing to work, you will get protection, trade, and technology grants from the Tau people.

For another example, the Tau people have always believed that their own way of doing things is superior to that of other races.

It can even be said that the Tau people are in extreme self-confidence, thinking that unifying the stars is their destiny. That is the so-called destiny.

Now, is it completely tasteless?

In Kane's eyes, "The Highest Good" is actually a unified philosophy that is highly close to utilitarianism. This is the lining.

As for face, he is a great career creator who is selfless, idealistic, and committed to building a great alliance of intelligent populations in the pan-river system.

However, caste, family (family), and clear social hierarchy have revealed another side of it, and it has even reached the point where the general situation of each individual can be accurately known from the name.

Earth, fire, water, wind, four main castes, plus a ruling class of ether.

The family gate has its own independent name.

The social class is divided into five grades.

For example, a Tau man whose full name is Aun·Huiye·Tianhua·El, Aun refers to the ether, indicating that he is the ruler, Huiye is the family he belongs to, Tianhua is his personal name, El, Represents the fourth class among the five social statuses, corresponding to the caste of ether, called the saint.

Then this person is at least an elder of the family world named Hui Ye, or the successor of the sect master.

And if Aun is replaced by Shas, then this person belongs to the combat class, and his fourth-class social status of El means that he is a knight, second only to the fifth-class O (commander).

The hierarchy is so strict and rigid, it's more like Japan than China.

As for the set of no distinction between high and low, Kane thinks, just listen to it...

Of course, on the other hand, governing the country has nothing to do with Wei Guangzheng, and the public does not have to tell the truth about everything.

Moreover, the Tau civilization can enter the interstellar civilization from primitive society in six thousand years, which is enough to prove that the problems of bureaucracy and capital are not serious.

The gate valve problem is serious.

There are also very Japanese characteristics of Xia Ke Shang and Solo Walking.

Belonging to the fire caste, named Vision, rose in the Akunasha War in 733 in the 41st millennium, and after the Damocles Expedition in 760, he refused the order to return to the army, but recaptured it in the expedition. On the basis of most of the lost land, a series of fortified planets have been established, and since then there has been a shameful existence of "Foresight Separation" that even the Lord of Eternal Spirit (head of state) is unwilling to mention.

Another big problem for the Tau tribe is that their civilization is developing rapidly. The momentum of this rapid development is suspected of overheating, which has caused many problems. For this reason, internal conflicts have to be passed on to the outside.

This is also very similar to Japan during World War II in Kane's memory.

At that time, Japan's rapid economic development was at the cost of overdrafting the future. Later, it was an inevitable trend of this development method. The successive victories (naval battles) against the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire gave it a taste of sweetness, so here The path deepened.

In fact, the Tau people have also experienced a similar embarrassment. It is a helpless move from a certain point of view to kill the Poktong, the first intelligent race to seek refuge, with a genetic virus.

At that time, they needed the world inhabited by the Pokemon people to milk themselves.

Of course, this approach is stupid, and no matter how good the reason is, it cannot be justified.

But it must be said that this is to judge from a fair point of view.

From the perspective of the Tau tribe, there is no big problem. It is more appropriate to die from a foreign race than to die from one's own race.

Moreover, once a civil war breaks out, it will bring many problems.

Take, for example, the emotional rift within the race. Once the hands are stained with too much blood of the same race, it will be difficult to return to the harmonious relationship of the past.

Another example is the harm to the operating system constructed by the concept of "the highest good way".

To some extent, the most feared thing in governing the country is the death of people and the death of the government. Reciting different scriptures separately, even if the starting point is good, will cause a great waste to the whole, waste in all aspects, including some intangible and spiritual wealth.

In six thousand years, the Tau people have transformed from blue monkeys running around in the wild to rushing out of their home planet and going to the sky. To a large extent, it means that the political system has not suffered major damage, let alone demolished and rebuilt.

The Eternal Series has been continuously improved, and from the perspective of the public, it has become a matter of course. As a result, the civilization of the entire group has formed a kind of development inertia.

This kind of civilization, the most taboo is to be discouraged, it is very likely that a violent blow will cause it to collapse.

So the Tau leadership has been working hard to avoid this kind of problem.

Behind the handling of the Pokemon people is the choice made to deal with the internal crisis.

Who still doesn't understand the principle of "Thousands of Gold and Bone"?

But there is no way to live up to the Tathagata and the Qing, so I can only sacrifice the foreign race.

This is the least bad option.

Fortunately there are options.

Unlike those countries in Kane's hometown, aliens like Pit Pit do not have technology, and can only solve a series of contradictions centered on overpopulation and lack of resources through internal friction on the home planet.

Blind people can see that the more internal conflicts occur every few years, the less likely the chance of entering the era of interstellar colonization will be.

After all, many resources of the mother star are non-renewable, or the regeneration process is too long, and the unit is millions of years.

Then, manpower and material resources are invested in rounds of internal attrition wars, and those invested in the project of jumping out of the gravity well will naturally decrease.

However, this project belongs to the kind that burns money and benefits future generations, but it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time, and it is extremely technologically demanding.

The Tau tribe used the power of the entire race. Before they were about to collapse themselves, they finally mastered the basic interstellar navigation technology, nuclear fusion + plasma propulsion engine. Although crude, they can start the interstellar journey.

Therefore, the Tau people are lucky, they have a choice at the critical moment, and successfully pass the pit of the simple Pok Tong to give themselves a mouthful, and relieve this breath.

In the future, there will be basically no more moral incidents similar to the Pokemon gene virus incident, at least not on such a large scale and ugly appearance.

So Kane couldn't help but think of the saying he heard when he was in his hometown: Every rich generation has more or less shit sitting under their buttocks...

Thinking about himself again, when he was a reincarnator, he might not have been complacent about taking advantage of others or gaining treasure by killing people. Are people in the indigenous world not human? Are other reincarnations not human?

Some people say, "Those who do great things don't care about small things."

Kane felt that this was an excuse for himself. What's the big deal? Is it a big deal to benefit the country and the people? Even if it is true, how do you know that you won't do bad things with good intentions? How many evil deeds are committed in the world with good intentions?

It can only be said that as long as one does something, there must be many obstacles, which will inevitably damage the interests and even lives of some people.

The two can be converted in many cases, and even ordinary people know that cutting off one's fortune is like killing one's parents. It sounds exaggerated, but if you take a closer look, maybe because of the loss of this source of income, the old mother can't afford the dialysis fee, and the daughter's leukemia can't be treated continuously. This is fatal...

So in this world, as few people laugh, more people cry.

Knowing this, Kane thinks the Tau are okay.

In comparison, at least it's okay for myself. This is comparable to those countries that "rather be with friends than slaves", or make their own people tighten their belts, or take big risks to show love on the front line of hot issues, using it as a favor and making dog-meat friends. Not a lot.

The Empire isn't very friendly to the Tau, though. Aliens and heretics are all dead, not just talk.

When the Empire first met the Tau-Mun, the Tau-Mun could not go to the sky (in the 35th millennium, a research ship of the Mechanicus discovered their home planet).

Then the empire encountered a large-scale warp space storm...

N years later (more than 5,000 years), the Empire and the Tau Empire, which was at the end of the "Second Weekly Expansion", began to have horizontal friction.

During these years, the decadent side of the empire was fully reflected.

It can be said that, excluding a few very un-imperial failures (number disadvantage) and political failures (some imperial worlds have taken refuge in Lord Tai), the biggest characteristic of the imperial military is that they are beaten with their heads covered, which is unbearable to read.

The results are self-evident.

The empire is finally getting serious.

The Imperial Defense Forces concentrated a wave of troops, and when they were preparing to push, the green-skinned orcs and Tyranids arrived separately.

This is a series of battles that took place between the years 897-903 of the 41st millennium.

Needless to say, the orcs are mushroom-like, genderless, super-vigorous and optimistic races that live by war.

Bugs come one by one, similar to army ants. When the scale reaches a certain size, a branch headed by the new queen queen will be diverted, and this time the empire encountered the Leviathan swarm.

In the face of endless wildfires and spring winds, there is nothing else to say, just the orcs who have a good time fighting and smashing, and the number of Tyranids that are beyond the imagination of most people. Wherever they go, they will eat them , under the influence of a series of chances, the Imperial Fleet unexpectedly acted as an ally of the Tau Empire.

And in 999 of the 41st millennium, a wave of imperial counterattack represented by the Space Marine Corps attacked a colony group on the outskirts of the Tau Empire, and the Tau people were expelled from many worlds in the area.

But other fronts have done well.

For example, in the famous Mukulas Bay offensive, the Tau army swept across the battlefield like a storm, and no less than 12 prototypes of advanced weapons were successfully used on the battlefield. The superiority of the Tau Empire’s superior goodness over the human empire’s decadent system , and was vividly reflected once again, the human armada was completely defeated...

Once entering the 42nd millennium, the most eye-catching thing in the entire galaxy is Abaddon's thirteenth black expedition. The Cadian Fortress and Cadian Gate were captured, and the huge warp space cut the empire in half. Wait, the human empire can no longer care about the Tau at this time...

So the luck of the Tau tribe is not bad, including the Tau starship that Buzhoushan encountered at this time.

If the ships of the empire are generally in the shape of pistols, then the starships of the Tau people are basically in the shape of sea fish, the most common of which are sea rays, manta rays and the like, and the shape of a sea ray is in front of them.

Kane estimated that the other party was an exploration ship that collected intelligence for the later development project of the second Zhoutian plan and ended up getting lost.

Apart from Trek, he couldn't think of a better reason to explain why the other party would appear here. After all, judging from the location of the star sector, this place is really far away for the current Tau people.

The truth is similar to what Kane guessed. The only thing he missed was that this was not a trek, but an exile.

The other side of the Tau tribe's "Superior Kindness" is ethics to kill people.

Regardless of whether they violated the taboo or were framed by others, in short, once they become the losers in a battle of intrigues, the fate that awaits them may be exile.

Of course, the combined value of reputation and status must reach a certain level to be able to receive such treatment. Applying the Japanese template, no matter what, you have to be a samurai class, so there is a saying of exile.

To a certain extent, exile can be regarded as a default way of dealing with losers to preserve the last bit of decency in the circle.

If you don't choose, with the "highest good way" gameplay (assassinations happen from time to time, but the death penalty is basically not imposed on the surface), you will die socially.

And this, for most non-fart Tau people, is more unbearable than simple death.

The values ​​of the Tau people include 'being envied when alive, and being remembered after death'.

Vulgar, but also honest.

Mei Yang is a loser who chases fame and fortune.

She is an ether, a natural leader, and the education she has received since she was a child is all about this. For her, the problem of survival has never been food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but how to become a qualified patriarch, lead the family to glory, and establish achievements that are indestructible, such as a family based on a world.

Although the success of the second pioneering expedition has brought many opportunities for many families of the Tau clan to go further and establish a family world, but in the process of competition, the number of losers still far outnumbers the winners.

Mei Yang was defeated in this kind of gambling family property battle. Her last decency is the property of the entire family. Only this refitted exploration ship is left, as well as loyal subordinates and a family that cannot be accepted by the winner. Members (usually the direct line, in order to prevent them or those who are interested in using their influence to make troubles, they will also be exiled).

In the name of the outside world, it is the birth of another great enlightened person, the Dari family, with the strength of the family, to create a long journey of exploration, to advance towards the unknown for a brighter future of the Tau race...

If this kind of exile like Voyager 2, which never turns back, also has the so-called joy in bitterness, then, with the continuous return of exploration information, the famous news received from the Tau world from time to time should be counted as one.

Mei Yang and her Da Ri Hao were lucky. After more than ten years, they still sent back valuable information from time to time, which made many ordinary Tau people remember her and her family.

However, no matter how good luck is, there will be a time when it runs out. Mei Yang feels that she and Dainichi will not be able to get through this hurdle.

The other party was a starship she had never seen before. The hull was multi-curved, with a graceful figure and powerful firepower. In terms of the stealth technology and speed that she was always proud of, this kind of starship surpassed all of them. Press the big date.

You can't fight, you can't fight; you can't escape, you can't escape; you can't hide, you can't hide.
