Chapter 183: A Man of Distinction Becomes a Hero
Perhaps it was the first time that the Emperor saw Hogg so serious, so he wisely withdrew his message and agreed to the plan of using demons as batteries.

After all, he was just putting forward an idea, and the Emperor, who loved the human community deeply, did not mind sacrificing a small part in exchange for a greater victory.

But since Hogg has a backup plan, the Emperor will not force Hogg in such a place of ideological dispute. He knows very well that Hogg is the same kind of person as himself.

The kind of crazy gambler who would do anything for his vision, and Hogg is just even more stupid.

The Emperor, who has successfully bound Hogg to the Empire, does not want this companion, who is called a son but is actually a friend, to part ways with him in the future like other old friends.

The Emperor had invested too much in Hogg, and even once thought of making him the Warmaster, but for the orthodoxy of the Empire and the peace of his own life in the second half of his life, the Emperor still chose Horus.

Looking at the master and disciple who were excited about his approval, the emperor collapsed on the sofa and recalled his youth.

Maybe living too long is not a good thing. The Emperor remembered that he was as happy as Hogg at the beginning, but then everything changed.

Neos was not willing to be the emperor, he just wanted to live a life of idleness and waiting for death like before, spending every day in the laboratory working on his little inventions, and watching some good things when he had nothing to do.

"Have I really changed?" Neos asked himself silently.

[No, I haven't changed! All of this is for the revival of mankind, I must stand up! ]

Just as the emperor was immersed in his own memories, a white-haired head came up to him. Hogg, with a smug look on his face, patted his shoulder and said something that made the emperor's blood pressure rise.

"Old man Huang, you are such a jerk! We are working so hard and you are just slacking off here. If the empire falls, can you afford it?"

The Emperor stopped sighing. Hogg was completely different from himself. He was adopted. His mouth was even more annoying than Dorn's.

"What are you arguing about? Let me see how you are doing."

When the Emperor came to the workshop, he saw Candice still busy at work. She was adding a metal casing to the terminal. The double-headed eagle etched on it made the Emperor very satisfied, but it was a pity that the paint was black, which he hated.

The finished product is fifty meters high and pyramid-shaped. It is half-covered with ceramic steel armor. The flesh and blood fused with the machinery inside can stimulate powerful psionic pulses.

Each 'Nila Terminal' is alive, but has no autonomous consciousness. They can move slowly, and when they reach the place where they are placed, they will extend their claws and firmly fix themselves on the ground.

A standard planet only needs to install one at each pole to enjoy global network coverage and connect with other planets.

Hogg also added genes from Catachan plants and greenskins, allowing this functional behemoth to photosynthesize and not starve to death as long as there is water.

Finally, Hogg was thoughtful enough to use the technology for manufacturing genetic seeds and spent a huge amount of money to build three terminal mother machines.

By inputting the target area data, the three fusion machines will generate a larva. As long as the materials and biomass are provided, a useful terminal will be harvested within a month.

In view of the Empire's unstable scientific research system, Hogg tried his best to ensure that the technology would not be lost. In addition to preserving the data, he also ensured their automated production.

Looking at such a perfect creation, the Emperor was very satisfied, and if the Emperor was satisfied, who would dare to object?

Regarding this reconstruction work, the Emperor ordered Hogg to make every effort to manufacture it. He wanted to see terminals installed on every planet in the Empire, allowing the Empire to step into the door of the Internet age.

Hogg agreed with this, after all, this thing is not given away for free, and Blackwatch can make a lot of money. In order to promote it better, Hogg directly brought in the Emperor, exchanged 30% of the shares for Huang Laohan's endorsement, and asked him to sign on the shells of three mother machines.

After hearing this request, the emperor looked at Hogg more favorably. Who wouldn't like to get 30% for free? But his emperor's treasury was still empty!
After signing, the emperor slipped away, fearing that the brat would go back on his word. He said he had more important things to do, leaving the master and disciple staring at each other.

Perhaps because she felt that it was a loss to give 30% of the profits to the Emperor for free, Candice complained:

"How much research funding can be exchanged for this 30% profit? Are you really willing to spend it this time?"

Looking at his Great Sage helplessly, Hogg discovered that people from the Mechanicus were all stubborn. If the local oil men from Blackwatch met them, they would be happy to death.

“Teacher, I think you must have gotten lost in scientific research. With Old Man Huang’s endorsement, if we encounter someone who doesn’t cooperate, we can directly accuse him of being disloyal.

Besides, you may not know the value of the Emperor's signature. Do you believe that with this thing, these three mother machines will be directly enshrined in ten thousand years?"

Candice was not optimistic about Hogg's fantasy. Who would dedicate a machine to a signature? Even the Mechanicus was not so crazy.

Just as a little joke, Candice took charge of the laying of the "Nila Terminal" and worked overtime to produce the "Nila Terminal".

Hogg returned to Alicia. The reconstruction work could not be done without him. The revival of the entire empire rested on his (Emilia's) shoulders and he had to command it well.

Watching the Blacklight flying away from Catachan, Bell, who was still tied up in the wild, was in tears. He hugged the demon who was also tied up and cried:

"Father, Emperor, Great Sage, please don't forget me! Anyone can come, I'm still tied up, help me!"

Perhaps it was because Bell's voice was too loud, several wild animals from Catachan ran over and drooled at the sight of these delicious-looking little meat men.

Maybe it was the Emperor's spirit in heaven, or maybe it was the power of Catachan's star soul, but in any case, Bell did not turn into shit. A green light protected him, and after a day and a night, he was finally found by the guards.

After returning to Alicia, Hogg did not forget his original intention. He found his butler and arranged the work, and completed the great achievement of commanding Emilia.

Staring at Hogg who was talking and arranging a lot of trouble, Emilia, whose eyes were already dark, asked back:

"You found so much work for me when you came back. What do you do?"

"What? Of course I'm commanding you! After all, you are my favorite offspring, and only you can handle such a great feat!"

Hearing this, Emilia looked at Hogg's self-righteous expression and wished she could kill him with a ramming head. She was so unlucky to have such a father.

But thinking that she was the one who came up to him first, she could only swallow her dirty words, touched Hogg's head and said in a coaxing tone:

"Be good! The sunlight in the government office is too bright. Find a corner to cool down by yourself, okay?"

Feeling the suitable light and temperature around, Hogg didn't think there was anything wrong here, and instead gave Emilia some common sense. Emilia was so angry that she yelled:
"If you keep whining I'll go on strike, get out!"

"Okay! I'll leave now."
