Therefore, Zhou Qing made a small modification to some of the Green Skin's intelligence genes, so that the Green Skin would not develop any intelligence before the age of 8.
They will become high-quality livestock, capable of quickly producing enough meat and easily scaling up production.
After all, Zhou Qing left them one-third of the space to become spores for reproduction.
In other words, the green spores on Zhou Qing's hands will produce green skins whose flesh will become extremely delicious.
Moreover, they would become high-quality livestock, lacking the same fighting power and threat as ordinary greenskins.
Zhou Qing had already made up his mind to build a green farm to alleviate the Empire's food crisis, or at least deal with Terra's food crisis first.
As for the question of whether treating green-skinned people in this way is morally right?
Zhou Qing didn't even bother to consider it, after all, the Human Federation had already turned the starfish people into starfish cans.
To put it bluntly, these aliens can't be considered intelligent beings at all.
To humans, they are nothing more than livestock.
With this in mind, Zhou Qing strode into the Ministry of the Interior. This kind of thing should naturally be left to Guilliman, who was the regent.
When Zhou Qing, the Sun Lord, entered the Ministry of the Interior of the Human Empire, the officials of the Ministry of the Interior took notice of his arrival as the Sun Lord.
Although he was called the Lord of the Sun, Zhou Qing was essentially the War Marshal of the Human Empire.
However, the title of War General was too sensitive, so the Emperor appointed him as the Lord of the Sun.
The High Lords' Council was being held at the Ministry of the Interior in the Imperial Palace.
Guilliman is arguing with several other high lords.
When Zhou Qing entered the Ministry of the Interior, his attendants led him to Guilliman's side.
After all, this is one of the top Sun Lords in the human empire.
Therefore, the attendants naturally did not make Zhou Qing wait outside, but directly led him into the High Lord Council.
After all, Zhou Qing is now a high lord of the human empire, and this was ordered personally by the emperor.
As Zhou Qing stepped into the High Lord Council, the conversation stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
This includes the progenitor Guilliman.
Their eyes were filled with doubt as they looked at Zhou Qing.
They couldn't understand why Zhou Qing, who should have been commanding the imperial army against the Chaos Demons at his sect, was here.
As the new Sun Lord of the Empire, and in effect, the Imperial War Marshal.
Shouldn't he be commanding the Imperial army against the Khorne army at Lionsgate at this time?
How would it appear here?
However, it was obvious that Zhou Qing didn't bother with the other high lords at all; he only looked at Guilliman.
As someone who had been in the throne room with the emperor of that human empire and received his orders, Zhou Qing understood perfectly well that Guilliman was now the empire's regent.
Instead of arguing with the other high lords, it's better to just hand the matter over to Guilliman.
"I need a piece of land to build a farm to provide sufficient food for the people of the empire at this time."
"You should resolve the land issue. After all, you are the regent of the empire, so matters concerning people's livelihood should be left to you."
I will send the data to the personal terminal I gave you before. You can use the terminal to access this data and make sure to build this farm according to my instructions.
"It can guarantee a continuous supply of meat for Terra after it is built. Although eating only meat will lead to malnutrition, now is clearly not the time to worry about that."
"At the same time, don't stay here. Take your troops to Lion's Gate and launch an offensive against the demons. This will help you gain enough reputation."
"As the regent of the empire, you also need sufficient prestige to demonstrate your Primarch's identity, so that you can effectively help you rule this empire."
After saying this to Guilliman, Zhou Qing turned and left.
With Guilliman, such a useful tool, here to handle these matters, why should Zhou Qing personally take charge?
He only needed to hand over the technology to Guilliman, and he trusted that the imperial regent would handle it well.
Otherwise, wouldn't he have been the regent of the empire for nothing?
Compared to commanding combat operations and dealing with people's livelihood issues, Zhou Qing was more interested in dealing with his own military technology problems.
He needed to hurry up and study the psionic legions to avoid only being able to produce the oldest psionic legions.
Lionsgate's battle was not just about his mechanical legions crushing the Chaos Demons; he also witnessed the Chaos Demons' immense power.
He could sense the inexhaustible, incredibly powerful demonic energy.
Therefore, Zhou Qing's need for military technology has become even more intense.
If he can produce a true psionic army for the Federation of Humanity, then the Khorne demons will no longer be a match.
Moreover, since he came here to help the human empire fight the Liongate battle and to help them solve their livelihood problems, it's time for him to take care of the things he originally wanted to do.
Chapter 75 The Daily Rations of the Imperial People
Zhou Qing walked over, said those words, and then turned and left.
A group of high lords were left standing there, completely bewildered and unaware of what had happened. Guilliman was also somewhat confused by Zhou Qing's words.
However, he had spent quite a bit of time with Zhou Qing, so he had gained some understanding of Zhou Qing's behavior and various sayings.
Guilliman turned to the high lords in front of him and spoke.
That concludes today's business.
Whether it's the information Zhou Qing will send him later, instructing him to go to the farm where production takes place, or Zhou Qing's recent reminder to go to Lionsgate to fight and build up his reputation.
Guilliman believed that all of this needed to be done.
Zhou Qing is right. Instead of continuing to argue with these high lords here, it would be better to lead the imperial army to repel the demons' attack.
Furthermore, the arrival of his Primarch can boost the morale of the Imperial army, making it easier to deal with these demons.
Ultimately, although Zhou Qing is now the Sun Lord of the Empire and the Imperial War Marshal personally appointed by the Emperor,
However, he knew very well that Zhou Qing was a scientist.
Although he didn't understand why scientists would have such great power, Zhou Qing had introduced himself as a scientist when he introduced himself.
Therefore, based on this identity, it can be concluded that Zhou Qing definitely does not have much talent in warfare.
As the son of revenge, he felt it was necessary to see the situation on the battlefield.
I'll also take a good look at the technical documents Zhou Qing will send me later, as well as the farm I'll be building.
This is a top-tier, extraordinary scientist. The facilities he built are definitely not ordinary facilities; they must be extremely effective.
So Guilliman not only wanted to go to the battlefield to check on the situation, but he was also eager to learn about the technical information that Zhou Qing had given him.
The high lords who had been sitting there stared blankly at this man, the 13th Primarch of the Empire, now the Imperial Regent, who left after uttering those words.
He left quietly, just as quietly as he had come, and the high lords sat there looking at each other in bewilderment.
They suddenly felt that the two high-ranking officials of the empire at this stage seemed somewhat unfathomable. The Sun Lord was one thing, but they hadn't even had formal contact with him yet.
However, from their brief encounter, they could also sense that this person was not easy to approach.
After all, the Sun Lord hadn't said a word to them, only speaking to Guilliman the entire time, and this 13th Primarch seemed even more unconventional to them.
The meeting was only halfway through when this person left to prepare for battle at Lionsgate.
Isn't the Sun Lord at Lionsgate? Why would we need a Primarch?
Filled with great doubt, the high lords resumed their daily affairs.
Having time to hold meetings is already a rare treat for them; they also need to handle many other matters, since the things left vacant during the meeting period also need to be dealt with.
The high lords had no time to care what Guilliman was doing, nor did they have time to think about Zhou Qing anymore; they began to deal with the various political affairs of the empire again.
Despite the fact that the human empire is now on the verge of collapse, they still have many missions to complete.
After all, there are still many things from decades ago that haven't been dealt with yet; they need to proceed step by step.
Guilliman, along with his Honor Guard and Ultramarines, left the Interior Ministry Hall of the Royal Palace and headed towards Lionsgate.
As he walked, he received a large amount of data sent by Zhou Qing through his personal terminal.
It specifies the various indicators and construction methods for the green farm, as well as the materials required.
For common materials, Imperial terracotta steel can be used as a makeshift solution; it's not always necessary to use materials from the Stars.
Although Guilliman felt a bit heretical and blasphemous about directly using Greenskins, creatures closely related to Chaos, he was pragmatic as a Son of Vengeance.
If he weren't pragmatic, he wouldn't have been able to create Ultramarines 500.
It was precisely because of this that Guilliman, despite feeling that the thing was somewhat blasphemous and heretical, still silently put it away.
Compared to the enormous amount of food this technology could provide, Guilliman felt the risk was worth taking, even without Zhou Qing's rapid growth agent.
If a standardized green farm could be established according to the standards, it could at least solve the food problem for 6,000 billion people on Terra every month.
When Zhou Qing calculated food consumption, he used the standards of the Human Federation. According to the standards of the Human Federation, the Green Skin Farm could only produce enough food to supply 300 billion people per month.
The standards for the internal training class are very simple: each person can be guaranteed to eat eight dishes per meal, half meat and half vegetables, and the food used is top-quality.
If you can guarantee this standard for three meals a day, that's the standard for basic living security.
However, the Empire's food supply was clearly not like that; the Empire emphasized the proper use of all food.
Therefore, by imperial standards, this would be enough to feed 6,000 billion people.
After all, when people use these foods, they discard or remove any messy parts.
The food produced by the Federation of Humans is all of the highest quality. Any parts that are not tasty are discarded and converted back into nutrients before being returned to the farmland.
But the empire clearly wouldn't just abandon and eliminate it like that.
Ordinary civilians in the human empire eat corpse starch.
These things are formed by recycling and reprocessing human or animal carcasses.
Some are byproducts of promethium extraction.
In addition to the two mentioned above, there are also plants, fungi, or other dead biological matter.
This food is usually tasteless and has a sticky texture. It is distributed in the form of "nutritional paste" or "ration sticks" and is the daily ration for the Astronauts and civilians.
