The Unyielding Expedition can be left to Guilliman; Zhou Qing is more interested in returning to his colony to guide its development.
The human empire faces far too many troubles to be resolved simply by staying on Terra.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Human Empire is too inefficient. Rather than staying here, it would be better to go back there and develop on our own.
He had already taken care of most things, and all he needed to do to return to his planet was travel through the Internet.
The connection between the two sides is already quite close, so for Zhou Qing, returning to his own colony to continue development is the right path.
Trajan did not object to Zhou Qing's next statement: "Understood. I wonder if the Lord of the Sun needs the protection of the Imperial Guard?"
Tula asked the question with a serious expression, showing no embarrassment whatsoever that Zhou Qing's power was clearly greater than theirs.
Don't ask why, because the Imperial Guards are already used to it.
Their previous protector was the emperor, who was more powerful than them.
Their current protector, Zhou Qing, is just as powerful as they are, but so what? The Imperial Guards are already used to this kind of thing.
The purpose of the Imperial Guard was no longer to protect those they were supposed to protect, but rather to deal with those they needed to protect but couldn't personally handle.
Just like the order Zhou Qing had just given, they were tasked with overseeing the Mechanicus in the galaxy.
"No need. Anyway, we have the network as a connection. I will give any orders directly to your Imperial Guard. You just need to keep an eye on those idiots of the Mechanicus."
"The number of Imperial Guards is still too small. I have already sent the technology for mass production of Imperial Guards to my compatriot on the Golden Throne."
You can go and ask him to replenish the 300 million Imperial Guards I promised you.
After saying this, Zhou Qing left his laboratory and returned to his long-lost colony via the network.
Chapter 109: The Patrol Fleet Completed
Zhou Qing crossed the network and returned to his colony.
Now he can truly relax. The situation of the human empire has been stabilized for the time being, and the human race is unlikely to face too many problems.
Now he can begin to create a decisive weapon—
The Titan-class, the largest conventional warship in the Federation of Humankind—
In Zhou Qing's eyes, the warships of the Human Empire were really too weak. The most important thing in the interstellar age was not those land combat units, but these vast and smoky warships.
A large warship is not necessarily strong, but if you are big enough, you are definitely not weak.
In order to cope with the increasingly fierce war, and also to protect the colonies under their control.
This allows the citizens of the human federation above to continue living and working in peace and contentment.
Therefore, Zhou Qing decided to allocate a large amount of resources to produce Titan-class warships.
The standard Titan-class warships are 160 kilometers long and 36 kilometers wide.
The main cannon, paired with an ion cannon, is a super firepower capable of blasting a planet apart with a single shot.
The other weapons will not be described in detail for now. They are basically equipped with Gauss cannons, ancient collapse cannons, arc generators, catastrophe missiles, point defenses, and a series of other supporting weapons.
The second largest of the large conventional warships in the Titan Federation of Humans.
Among the Federation's conventional combat units, the Titans are second only to the Overlord-class warships!
A Titan unit requires 3000 units of standard interstellar alloy to manufacture. This resource has essentially depleted two-thirds of Zhou Qing's alloy resources.
Meanwhile, the alloy used to manufacture the Titan-class warships is a Level 4 alloy nano-alloy, which is second only to the Zero Armor alloy.
This is genuine military technology, the kind of military technology that Zhou Qing can immediately recall from his mind at this moment.
Annihilation-class Titan!
Titan warships are no ordinary warships. Generally speaking, while they cannot serve as flagships in the main fleet of the Federation of Humanity, they can serve as flagships in the sector defense forces.
Each sector of the Federation of Humanity contains approximately 16 star systems.
Within a star system, a patrol fleet consisting of Titan warships, 4 battleships, 8 cruisers, 16 destroyers, and 32 frigates will be deployed.
Some fleets are responsible for resisting potential invasions, while also serving as mobile forces. If any enemy appears inside the Human Federation, these vigilant fleets will be dispatched to deal with it.
Of course, they also bear the heavy responsibility of fighting space pirates.
To ensure the continued prosperity of the Human Federation's commerce, the Human Federation fleet naturally shoulders the responsibility of combating pirates in the vast interstellar seas.
Any pirate fleet would encounter attacks from this federal patrol fleet.
Although the Federation's patrol fleet also uses zero-element armor, his use of nano-armor makes him significantly weaker in terms of combat power, but—
Such a fleet would definitely be considered a competent patrol fleet in the Warhammer universe.
At this moment, Zhou Qing's thoughts were very simple.
That is to build a patrol fleet of this caliber to maintain the security of the star systems under our control.
Having just returned from Terra, how could he not know where he was right now?
This is the dark side of the empire, meaning that even the fleets of the Unyielding Expedition will not easily arrive here.
Unless he directly orders the Imperial fleet to patrol this area, he will have to rely on himself.
Considering the limited combat power of the Imperial Fleet, Zhou Qing chose the first idea: to rely on himself.
With the cycle's instructions issued, the Titan Factory within the Sky Fortress began production.
A Cataclysmic Titan has entered the official production queue, and the patrol fleet, which currently lacks a flagship, has begun to take on its patrol duties.
The number of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates has reached the standard required for a patrol fleet.
All they lack is a Titan-class flagship.
As for Zhou Qing himself, he once again went into his laboratory. He still had a lot of research to do, especially reducing costs and genetically reconstructing humans in the Warhammer universe.
Humans in the Warhammer universe have had their genes tampered with far too much. With this in mind, Zhou Qing is now researching how to restore their genetic lineage.
It's not that the Human Federation's existing technology can't change them back, it's just that it's too expensive.
Zhou Qing wanted to research how to use the resources available in this universe to modify their genes back at low cost.
Therefore, after transmitting the Titan warship manufacturing method to the Titan warship manufacturing plant, he returned to his laboratory and began a new research project.
Time passed slowly amidst this research, and soon 120 days had elapsed. A Destroyer, or Titan, slowly emerged from Skyholdt.
From this moment on, the patrol fleet is completely complete.
The patrol fleet already has its own flagship.
This patrol fleet is now capable of protecting the colony.
On the day they were to go on patrol, the fleet assembled in the starport, and Zhou Qing also left his laboratory and came to the starport to look at the warship he had built.
One Titan-class battleship, four battleships, eight cruisers, sixteen destroyers, thirty-two frigates...
If this fleet were placed within the Federation of Humanities, it would certainly lack any combat capability.
Ultimately, it was just a fleet for security patrols, but things are different now. Zhou Qing looked at the fleet in front of him and was very satisfied.
Even a star in this star system pales in comparison to this fleet.
The sight of the stars shining on the fleet's armor filled Zhou Qing with joy.
Having grown accustomed to the ancient-looking warships of the Human Empire, seeing the warships of the Human Federation once again filled him with immense joy.
The fleet began its patrol in front of Zhou Qing, initially reaching 10 times the speed of light, then 100 times the speed of light, and finally reaching thousands or tens of thousands of times the speed of light.
Subsequently, in order to maintain patrol efficiency, the fleet's speed of light was finally fixed at 28 times the speed of light, which was the optimal patrol speed.
The fleet can shuttle between star systems to patrol the galaxy, ensuring that if an enemy appears in the star field, they can rush there as quickly as possible to provide rescue or engage the enemy.
Zhou Qing simply sat in his seat and watched his fleet set off for its patrol.
In any case, by now, the power he wanted to build has begun to take shape.
But that's not enough. The human empire is a vast empire, and it's clear that the human brethren sitting on the golden throne want him to take over the empire.
Governing such a vast empire would be extremely difficult; it would require a sufficient fleet and a large enough army to take over the entire empire.
Therefore, Zhou Qing still needed to expand his army at this time, and the most important thing for expanding the army was to continue to expand his colonies.
Now that we have a patrol fleet, shouldn't we consider expanding our star system further?
The idea popped into Zhou Qing's mind, but it had barely formed when the alarm inside the Sky Tower Fortress was already pulled.
The AI of the Sky-Piercing Fortress began reporting the enemy situation to Zhou Qing.
"An enemy fleet has appeared outside eight star systems in our eastern region. After comparing the data, it has been confirmed that it is the fleet of the evil god Nurgle."
They have appeared on a star system on the edge of our planetary system, preparing to attack an Imperial world.
Zhou Qing had no intention of going out to deal with the enemy, but the Chaos Fleet came knocking on his door.
Although the intention was not to launch a direct attack on Zhou Qing, what difference was there between beating a human at Zhou Qing's doorstep and slapping Zhou Qing in the face?
Chapter 110 Nurgle's Chaos Warband
Since Cartier was destroyed, and the chaotic energy within the Eye of Terror was unleashed, splitting the galaxy in two, the dark side of the Empire has been under constant attack from the Chaos Demons.
Zhou Qing's location was some distance from the direction of Cartier, and this area had not yet been attacked by the Chaos army before.
But now the attack of Chaos has arrived.
That much time was enough for these chaotic armies to discover Zhou Qing's location and prepare to launch an attack on the surrounding imperial worlds.
This time, the Narg Warband, which has its sights set on the star system next to Zhou Qing, is the Embrace of Rot.
"Decay is the truth of life, and plague is the gift of the Father."
Former name: The Steel Serpent Chapter (a fictional sub-chamber, whose parent chapter was the Steel Hand).
While suppressing the frontier world "Scabs", they encountered a biological weapon attack by the Nurgle demons.
Chapter Master Garrosh, on the verge of death, was seduced by Nurgle's whispers and believed that only by embracing decay could his men be saved. He then led the entire chapter to drink from the plague spring and became Nurgle's favorite.
The Blessing of Nurgle: Warband members suffer from festering flesh yet remain perpetually vibrant, their wounds teeming with symbiotic bacteria that transform pain into twisted pleasure. Their power armor is corroded by a living plague, pus oozing from their joints, and their weapons mutate into bioweapons.
Core combat power and tactics
The Chaos Egg, modified by Nurgle magic, stands 5 meters tall and is covered in hardened scabs. When it charges, it releases a suffocating cloud of poison and once single-handedly destroyed an entire Astronomical Army armored company.
