Chapter 324: Disaster?

After discussion, everyone except Ye Cang unanimously decided to expand the legions to 20.

Among them, the first five legions are the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qinglong, White Tiger, and Qi Lin.

The next 5 legions are corps formed for Earth itself, that is, corps formed by personnel from the provinces of Huaxia.

The final 10 are prepared for those aliens after the Expedition.

Strictly speaking, the final 10 corps are the true main force.

The first 5, you ask... they will only be deployed for important matters.

The very first 5, you ask... those are the family foundation, especially the Qi Lin Legion.

Besides these 20 corps, there are also ordinary corps.

When Ye Cang finished listening to all this, cold sweat was already streaming down.

Damn it, 20 corps, this number is a bit inauspicious.

In case someone wants to offer birthday greetings and takes this opportunity to stab him twice...

If that were to happen, it would truly be too exciting!

When the time comes, sitting on the Golden Toilet, hey!

That's what you call authentic!

From then on, the Golden Big Guy's backside won't be lonely anymore.

How does that saying go?

Right, it goes like this.

In the cold Warp, only two giant backsides face each other in silence.

Wait, I said it wrong, it should be three backsides.

One is Ye Cang's, one is the Golden Big Guy's, and the last one is Khorne's.

Tsk, truly authentic!

By the way, if three backsides get together, will they play Fight the Landlord?

This is a question worth pondering!

Regarding the matter of expanding to 20 legions, Ye Cang was originally strongly opposed.

But, the protest was ineffective!

Expanding 5 legions to 10 or 15 is simply not enough; 20 legions is the best choice.

This is the result obtained through calculation.

After these, there is one more most important matter for this meeting.

That is cultural synchronization.

Huaxia will intervene in civilizations that are before the Steam Age, while civilizations that have already formed their own unique culture and have entered the Steam Age do not need to be managed.

The above are the key points of the meeting.

Besides these key points, there are some scattered matters, such as the issue of technology.

Hmm... there is currently no progress in technology, mainly because the time is too short, unless Ye Cang takes action.

But Ye Cang's thought is that he could lead a civilization to leap forward constantly, but if he did that, the foundation of the civilization would not be stable.

It is best to let them explore for a period of time; when they reach a bottleneck, it won't be too late for him to take action.

Although time is tight now, if he doesn't do this, he might be finished before the Zerg even arrive.

Steady progress is essential.

After the meeting ended, Ye Cang returned to his office.

He began to handle some daily issues.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

This month could be said to be calm and tranquil; nothing happened, and no civilization came to invade Huaxia.

And Huaxia also entered full-speed operation mode.

Countless factories sprang up on Earth, manufacturing various products; there were specialized weapon factories, specialized spaceship factories, and industrial factories.

Of course, environmental issues were emphasized as a priority; the environment must absolutely not be ignored.

The Earth of the future will become the mother planet of humanity, and even the center of the entire Galaxy!

Just as everything was operating at high speed.

Ye Cang, however, encountered a disaster, a devastating disaster.

This day, Ye Cang looked at the report submitted by Qing Long and frowned.

Because this report showed that over a thousand people in the Qinglong Legion currently had high fevers that would not subside, with body temperatures reaching 80 degrees.

(It's normal for a Super Soldier to have a fever of 80 degrees, right!)

This report was more or less absurd; it was simply impossible for a Super Soldier to get sick.

After becoming a Super Soldier, every aspect of the human body improves geometrically, and ordinary germs are simply helpless against them.

Even highly toxic substances have no effect.

Unless these germs are evolving, and evolved to this degree in less than a year.

But one can just forget about such a thing.

This is absolutely impossible to happen.

If there really were germs that evolved this quickly, what would be left for humans?

The germs would directly rule the Earth.

No matter how fast evolution is, it cannot be this fast, exceeding common sense.

After keeping this matter in his heart, Ye Cang looked at other reports.

This was alarming; the other 4 legions also had people coming down with fevers to varying degrees, which made Ye Cang realize that the situation was serious.

Putting down the report and calling for Kaisha, the two headed straight for the station of the Qinglong Legion.

As for why he called for Kaisha, the reason was simple.

There were some things in the Universe that he truly had never seen, but Kaisha was different; she had lived for 30,000 years, and she knew a little bit about everything in the Universe.

If there was something he was unclear about, he could ask her.

If Kaisha was not clear about it, she could ask Hexi in her own name.

After the two arrived at the military camp, the first person they met was Liu Chuang.

"Chief Engineer!" Liu Chuang saluted.

Ye Cang did not waste words and went straight to the point.

"Liu Chuang, I just read your legion's report, which says that people here have developed high fevers? What is going on?"

"Where is Qing Long? Where is Qing Long?"

"Chief Engineer, I don't know what's going on either; about half a month ago, one person suddenly started running a high fever, and then one after another, quite a few people followed suit," Liu Chuang replied.

"Commander Qing Long also has a fever now and is currently recuperating; he has locked himself in his room and won't let anyone in, saying he is afraid of spreading it."

"I see." Ye Cang nodded. "Liu Chuang, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Liu Chuang thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't have any problems at the moment; if I had to say something, it's that my snoring has gotten louder when I sleep."

Ye Cang ignored the second half of Liu Chuang's sentence.

"Take me to see Qing Long."

"Yes!" Liu Chuang agreed and began to lead the way.

Halfway there, as if he had remembered something, Liu Chuang said again: "By the way, Chief Engineer."

"I think this fever is very strange."

"How so?" Liu Chuang's words piqued Ye Cang's interest.

At first glance, Liu Chuang was the type of reckless person who, when faced with an indecisive situation, would just go for a brute-force strike.

But in reality, he was someone who had attention to detail amidst his roughness and was not brainlessly reckless.

Liu Chuang recalled and said: "Well, how should I put it, I feel like this fever seems to be picking people."

"Like Big Dragon and Second Yellow, ah, sorry, those are their nicknames, I..."

Ye Cang raised a hand to interrupt Liu Chuang.

"Continue, no need to be so reserved, and besides, now is not the time to be reserved."

After receiving permission, Liu Chuang continued: "Big Dragon and Second Yellow, the two of them live together."

"But Second Yellow later had a persistent high fever, and Big Dragon was responsible for taking care of him; logically speaking, it should have been Big Dragon who got infected."

"As it turned out, it was people on other floors who got infected instead."
