StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Now, Augustus is sitting on a crystal mine of Adien. The New Apollon Mining Area can only be regarded as a relatively low-level mine among the many mines in the Kemerian Complex that are classified according to mineral richness, and belongs to the column with mining value but low reserves. If the cost of mining is too high, Kaimorian mining companies will abandon it immediately.

The higher purity of the crystal and the newly discovered associated rare metal ores allowed the mining plan to be approved, and then a small community called New Apollon appeared near the mining area. Today, with the influx of settlers, gold prospectors and mining families, the community's population has reached nearly 20,000.

Even so, the revenue from crystal mines and other associated rare crystal mines produced every twenty-four hours in the New Apollowen mining area far exceeds the standard medium-sized mines held by the Tyranid Federation. The Camorians estimate the value of high-purity Adeen crystal per cubic meter rather than per Federation gram, and their obsession with finding veins of the crystal is closer to obsession.

In the past few decades, there has been a case where the wealthy Kaimorian Mining Company came forward to buy the mineral mining rights of an entire planet of the Tyranid Federation.

At that time, even the most powerful and formidable founding family of the Federation, the Tagore family, marveled at the wealth of Moria's mining enterprises and no longer considered the Moria people to be country bumpkins and uncivilized savages who had never seen the world. . The nobles who danced in the ornate ballroom immediately elevated the status of the Morians as upstarts who lacked education and lacked etiquette.

However, this was also the trigger for the Kailian battle. The greedy Tyranids don't have the Camorian's intuition and tenacious patience for searching for mineral deposits, but they just have to make sure they have more and better guns than the Camorian.

The Kaimorians spent decades or even hundreds of years building their mining empire, while the Terran Federation collapsed in less than four years of war and took all the wealth to themselves.

However, Augustus knew that this war only made a small number of people in the federation rich, while most civilians became even poorer than before.

Regarding the independence of Korhal IV and the revolutionary cause of his father Angus, it also shows that the revolution of the Korhal people is tenable. When the people find that no matter how hard they work, they cannot support themselves and their families, a prairie fire of uprising will sweep across the world, and more and more people will support Korhal.

At this time, the door to the supervisory office suddenly opened, and Tychus Finley walked in, wearing a loose uniform, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

This is the list of the new batch of miners who applied for work in the mines. Tell me what medicine you gave those Camorians? Tychus sent the document to Augustus' desk, and he said: Say Tell me how you got them.

Fewer hours, more bread.

Augustus dropped the pen in his hand on the table, put his elbows on the table, and put his fingers together on his chin: I have investigated and found that the lives of the miners in the Camorion Union and other industries are not as good as what the union government advertises. The world is so good, but many people actually don’t have enough to eat. This world is not much better than the Terran Federation, and exploitation and oppression still exist.”

The claims that workers' rights to receive reasonable wages should not be violated, that workers should enjoy basic social welfare, and have the right to freely elect the government are actually propaganda on paper.

The owners of the mining guild and the union representatives also said that the Kemorian Federation is a union of workers, and the working class should dominate the world. He said: Of course, their workers are indeed better than those of the Tyranids. The situation was better. Before the war, workers' wages in the Commonwealth were generally two to three times higher than those in the Federation.

I think this idea is a good one, but the government of the consortium just says one thing and does another. You can understand it if you look at who established the Camerian Consortium. The consortium is Moria Mining The guild was established by the Kelanis Transport Guild, and the real people in power are the legal representatives elected by them. The union was not established by workers, it was entrepreneurs who established it.

Do you know what this means?

You know I don't have time to pay attention to current politics, worry about national affairs, and worry about whether the system is reasonable or not. Tychus frowned: Why are you studying these things?

Don't tell me that you want to rebel against the nobles. And I remember that your family is not a big noble in Korhal IV? What's the difference between this and you trying to lift your own skirt?

You're asking. Augustus looked at Tychus.

Okay, okay, what does that mean? My great statesman, Tychus said in a low voice.

That shows that the union is just a means for the real wealthy people in Kemerian to control the workers. When the contradiction between the working class and the upper class cannot be reconciled, the representatives of the union will stand up to 'speak for the workers and fight for their interests', and through the representatives The company’s CEO would always reluctantly agree to our arguments.”

But in fact, the terms of compromise have long been negotiated in secret. Augustus said: The trade unions have no right to influence the independent government's decision-making. They have the right to propose proposals, but that's all.

But this has nothing to do with us, no, with me wanting to live a luxurious life after making a fortune. Tychus pulled a chair from the side and sat down, burying his buttocks into the soft cushions. , snorted comfortably.

It's a big deal. Augustus took Lisa's coffee, and the latter's twisting waist made Tychus lament Augustus' good luck: The Camorion government is actually not very good. I win the hearts of the people, so as long as the treatment we give is better. At least let them eat three meals a day, have the remaining money to save, and still have hope in life, then they will be willing to work for me.

Moreover, in order to prevent the Kemerian Federation from continuing to transport personnel and weapons to Meinhof, the interstellar route for imported goods has been cut off by our fleet, and the problem of long-term self-sufficiency in food has been greatly amplified. Jim has been there On a trip to the local market, he saw that the price of food had increased exponentially and hunger had spread, he said.

“If residents of the New Apollon community cannot find work, their families will starve to death.”

Mengsk, I never thought you were not a capitalist. Tychus showed a sinister smile: The blood of 'vampire' is flowing in your body. But let me tell you, you are not a real capitalist.

We'll be here for a month at most. Do you care whether they live or die? Kemerian is our enemy. I say, just let them live, just like their union government did before. . In this way, the crystal mines we can resell will be much more than now.

Anyway, the people of New Apollowen have to work for us as long as they don't want to starve to death. We don't need to do much better than their old government, and we don't owe the Kemorians anything.

This lifeless stone planet is unlucky enough, but also lucky enough, because the war stopped at the moment it was about to reach here.

Camerian is also a human being. We are still enemies now, but we may become friends in the future. Augustus shook his head: And I...

I don't want to see anyone starve to death in front of me.

You are a good man, Mengsk. Tychus sent Augustus a good man card.

By the way, there's one more thing. I almost forgot. Didn't you say you wanted to modify that transport plane? The person you want is here.
