Chapter 1607: Chapter 907: Imperial Guard Breeding Technology

Regarding the research on Son of God, Gu Hang is not just making empty promises.

He is genuinely interested and has indeed initiated this research as a secret project.

If the research project on Son of God can be completed as Gu Hang anticipates, the benefits will certainly be enormous.

Let alone achieving the ultimate goal, which is to create a Son of God for Gu Hang, possessing both formidable individual strength and the characteristics of the Father of Genetics.

The importance of these two aspects is the same.

Gu Hang has already fully experienced the significance of top warriors in this universe. In the future, whether against Aliens or Chaos, at the level of the entire Alliance, having top warriors in command will have a critical impact on campaigns.

As for the latter, it can directly establish an interstellar soldier corps, which is different from Gu Hang’s current reliance on collecting startup battle groups, then using the system interface function to gain fifty thousand plus five thousand Genetic Seeds. Whether such a ’corps’ will be recognized by the system is an unknown, and Gu Hang doesn’t care much. With the presence of Father of Genetics, he can directly obtain genetic pheromones from Father of Genetics and cultivate Genetic Seeds in batches.

Gu Hang can indeed produce in batches now, but it would cost him his Subspace essence, which is painful for him to use for creating Interstellar Warriors, especially in large numbers.

Using Father of Genetics for cultivation doesn’t have this problem.

How Son of God can cultivate Interstellar Warriors without splitting his own Subspace essence is also a very crucial part of the Son of God cultivation project that needs to be tackled.

The research on Son of God must be absolutely confidential. Given its strong religious and political implications within the Empire, studying them carefully or even attempting to recreate Son of God is quite a ’blasphemous’ idea that could easily attract criticism.

Gu Hang is now not entirely fearless of criticism, especially as the Dark Side Expedition has reached its current stage. He worked hard to achieve such a high level of ’legitimacy’, and he is very reluctant to lose this advantage.

Legitimacy is extremely crucial.

When the Alliance has strong enough legitimacy, it often leads to “where the righteous army goes, there is food and drink in the vessels”. If there are troubles on a planet, resolving them will bring submission; if a planet is relatively peaceful without issues, it often directly joins the Alliance. Not only does it not require the Alliance to expend effort, but it can immediately become assistance in the Dark Side Expedition.

Even in some worlds, where there are some ambitious individuals, they must cautiously hide their intentions and not be too obvious. It’s challenging to directly incite the populace against the Alliance, or else they would easily find themselves bound and delivered to the Alliance by their own people. They usually have to act under the guise of cooperation, doing things like carrying the red flag while opposing the red flag, to achieve their personal goals. Honestly, this greatly increases the cost for ambitious individuals and separatists.

The Dark Side Expedition now looks like a snowball, growing larger and faster. Besides the hard power of the Alliance, the legitimacy achieved is also very important.

Rather, legitimacy is part of the snowball. The more victories the Alliance achieves, the stronger the legitimacy, making it easier to conquer without a fight.

Legitimacy and strength complement each other, but it’s not entirely about strength. A key point is to make the target believe you are on the same side.

Messing with Son of God clearly isn’t an act of being on the same side.

Moreover, the Alliance’s most important strategic ally now is a Son of God, and letting others know about what Gu Hang intends to do is really not good.

It definitely needs to be done secretly.

Resources for this research can’t be heavily invested.

On one hand, it’s difficult to manage under confidentiality; on the other hand, though the returns are large, the research time may be very long and cannot simply be accelerated by investing resources.

Ordinary researchers are basically of no help. Only biological genetic research experts at the Sage level, with the cooperation of some research-oriented and academic Spiritual Masters, and Gu Hang’s personal leadership, can this project slowly progress forward.

However, Gu Hang cannot devote all his energy entirely to research.

No matter how important this project is.

Gu Hang’s primary focus is still on administration.

And a considerable part of this is on the system.

Whether it’s research or governance, Gu Hang’s role is important and extraordinary. Overall, there’s a small but elite team assisting him with the former; while the latter has the vast political body of the entire Alliance executing his will.

But when it comes to the system, no one can help him.

Unfortunately, as Gift Points are acquired in units of billions, and as Dark Side Expedition continues, the Alliance’s territory has expanded considerably. The number and places Gu Hang needs to spend points have been increasing. He must undergo longer periods of contemplation and investigation, striving to place these magical powers where they can be most effective.

Whether it’s troop training, talent enlightenment, or architectural exchanges, even if Gu Hang decides on a matter per second, it takes a long time for him to properly spend billions, even hundreds of millions of points.

Comparatively, these ’micromanagements’ don’t require much thought when exchanging technology in the Tech Tree interface.

No need for detailed operations, just pour Gift Points in and rely on luck to see what valuable things can be ’drawn’.

Of course, as the Alliance grows stronger, many technologies originally of significant inherent value are now less likely to excite Gu Hang.

Drawing a few different models of cruisers or battleships doesn’t fundamentally change the strength of the Alliance.

Not that they’re unimportant. After all, a similar technology equates to a new production line. Especially with heavy industries like shipbuilding, which can often spur rapid development in a Star Sector.

But it certainly doesn’t qualify as transformative evolution.

The last technology exchange item that could excite Gu Hang was the Original Casting technology.

But in fact, Gu Hang later learned that it was developed by Kao’er, and after the revival of Son of God, they contacted each other and Son of God gratuitously shared this technology with the Alliance’s Interstellar Warrior Management Association—by this time, Gu Hang had already been using it on a small scale.

However, this matter was still very valuable.

With Son of God’s sharing, the core point is that Gu Hang effectively has authorization, no longer needing to use it on a small scale secretly but can openly utilize it.

Considering the high failure rate and heavy cost of Original Casting modification technology, it has not been widely implemented within the Alliance. However, the seed for new recruits has already been fully Original Casted.

New blood added to various battle groups will be stronger, bigger, and more formidable Original Casting Interstellar Warriors.

And this time, Gu Hang came across a technology project that piques his interest very much.
