If you don't want to pay, there are only three ways: one is to make yourself invisible to the higher-ups, another is to directly confront them.
Or perhaps they should pay the taxes first, and then win back their own people; things have to be done cleverly enough.
To wage war against the human empire?
He doesn't have that capability right now; his star base is still under construction.
He simply did not have enough resources to build new warships to confront the human empire.
At the same time, his current technology is only civilian technology.
He wasn't sure if his civilian technology could defeat an interstellar civilization, so he was left with only two options.
One reason is to prevent those above from seeing him...
How can he operate if he can't be seen by those above?
That's naturally very simple; just destroy the black ships.
The federal government will never abandon its citizens, nor will it stand by and watch them go to their deaths!
To be honest, the Black Ships were really important.
Without the fuel supply from the Black Ships, the human empire might collapse, which forces Zhou Qing to consider the survival of the human race.
Instead of prioritizing their own citizens over the entire race.
The education provided by the Federation of Humanity is so excellent that Zhou Qing now generally considers the fate of the entire human race, rather than stubbornly focusing only on himself.
After much deliberation, Zhou Qing had only one last option left.
That means handing over the psionicist and then mobilizing troops to take him back.
Set up the battlefield in the warp and reclaim your citizens there.
The Federation's fleet has this capability.
Zhou Qing's protective fleet is capable of locating the Imperium of Man's Black Ships in the warp.
After all, the Black Ships of the Human Empire travel in the Warp, which is practically the Human Federation's own backyard.
Finding a black ship that has just left in space is far too easy.
If Zhou Qing can find the Black Ship of the Human Empire, he can bring his troops inside the Black Ship.
In any case, according to the information found by the Inquisition, it was common for the Black Ships to be attacked by warp demons.
As long as they launch an attack, simply to recapture their own people and incidentally seize a few more as a cover, it won't be a problem at all.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Qing wouldn't mind having too many of these psychics.
As for whether they can remain loyal after the recapture, that's not a problem.
Ordinary psychics would have no way to resist Zhou Qing's psychic energy; it's easy to manipulate it slightly.
Then, with the addition of genetic modifications, their loyalty can be completely guaranteed.
Or rather, it's like providing them with insurance, while also making them less afraid of the corrupting influence of chaos.
None of the citizens of the Betel Empire's hive world knew that their governor was preparing to sometimes plunder the black ships of the human empire for their sake.
Of course, Zhou Qing alone cannot carry out such a combat mission; he needs some troops to cooperate with him.
What type of military force is best suited for operations in subspace?
The Federation of Humanity has already reached a conclusion: the Psionic Legion!
Alternatively, they could recruit battle nuns and Valkyries, three units that are specifically responsible for psionic warfare within the Federation of Humanities.
Although he was unable to create the powerful psionic legions and psionic forces that existed in the Federation of Humans.
However, he was able to use his civilian technology and the high-quality psionic materials he carried to recreate the Federation's psionic legion from long ago.
Every soldier in the Psionic Legion can completely ignore the corruption of Chaos.
As for combat strength, an ordinary soldier's combat strength is similar to that of an ordinary Chaos Demon, and he might even be slightly stronger.
This is the limit of what Zhou Qing can achieve right now; after all, even the most advanced technology needs a foundation to be realized.
Just like a modern person who has mastered all technology, if you ask him to make an iron sword in the Neolithic Age, it would be very difficult for him, let alone make an atomic bomb.
If Zhou Qing wanted to truly transform ordinary psionicists, especially the trashy psionicists of the human empire, into the psionic legion he needed, he would have to recruit qualified psionicists from across the planet and then enhance them.
A new order was issued from the Governor's Office.
We are recruiting qualified psychics for training, for the sake of humanity!
Chapter 39: A 400-strong psionic legion squad
As Zhou Qing's order was issued.
With the help of the mechanical legion, all the psionicists on the entire planet were captured.
The reason why human empires in the past had difficulty gathering all the psionicists was because their infrastructure was so terrible.
However, Zhou Qing is completely different from them. Zhou Qing spent a lot of money to build a large amount of infrastructure and installed a chip on all citizens to make them truly qualified citizens.
At the same time, the Federation of Humans has adequate preparations for the psychic awakening event and has sufficient means to train psychics.
Therefore, the Federation of Humanities is far ahead of the human empire in the search for psionicists.
After Zhou Qing issued his order, he selected 400 qualified psionicists from among the hundreds of billions of people on the planet; the rest were not qualified.
To Zhou Qing, the spiritual power of the remaining people was no different from that of anyone else.
There's not even a way to effectively train them; if we were to strengthen them, the resource consumption would be enormous.
He can ignore this matter later, but he needs to be careful with every resource he uses in the early stages.
According to the organization of the Federation of Humans, a psionic legion should have a population of 100 million.
At the same time, it also needs to be equipped with all kinds of weapons required by the psionic legion, but Zhou Qing cannot do this.
He only has 400 men, but he can make the weapons needed by the psionic legion himself.
After all, these psionic legions are from a very, very long time ago, so the requirements aren't too high.
Zhou Qing brought these 400 people into the underground city, which contained a great deal of Zhou Qing's technology.
There are relatively few usable devices here to enhance these people.
"Go inside, go to the life support pods. I will develop your psychic powers and make you qualified psychics to benefit humanity."
As soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, the 400 psionicists behind him did not hesitate at all.
One by one, they went to their respective life support pods and lay down inside.
Although they felt very strange as Zhou Qing led them here, they couldn't believe what this place was.
They believed that everything here was different from what they knew about the human empire, but they still trusted Zhou Qing.
One reason is that Zhou Qing was the living saint promoted by the state religion, and Zhou Qing was equivalent to representing the emperor.
Another reason is that Zhou Qing provided them with a place to live, a good night's sleep, and enough to eat.
Whether it was the initial faith that had the effect, or the tangible benefits that followed, no one has bothered to investigate this further.
All they knew was that they could completely trust Zhou Qing.
They believed in this living saint, and that everything he did made sense.
Even if today's events might cost them their lives, they would gladly face death.
Because of these 400 psionicists, more than 300 were actually selected from the lower nest.
They were once just lowly people living in the lower nests, but now they have become citizens.
They ate food they had never dared to imagine before.
They also slept on a large, soft bed that they had never dared to touch before, all of which was brought to them by Zhou Qing.
These benefits may seem insignificant to many, but to them it is everything, and they are willing to give their lives for Zhou Qing.
Four hundred psionicists entered the life support pods, and Zhou Qing began to infuse them with Ze Luo.
This was brought out by Zhou Qing from the Federation of Humans; it is a material manifestation of psionic energy.
If these substances are injected into the life support pods, and some simple techniques are used, the spiritual power of the people inside can be enhanced.
However, the citizens of the human empire are just too terrible.
Zhou Qing not only had to enhance their spiritual power, but he also had to recompile the genes of these citizens.
Let them become human again, and steadily inject these energies into their bodies.
Fortunately, the Human Federation possessed sufficient technology, so for Zhou Qing, carrying out these tasks was as simple as crushing an ant.
After all, it's a technology that's been obsolete for a very long time.
Even an ordinary baby in the Federation is born with great power, unlike these people who are weak.
Zhou Qing spent five days in the laboratory.
As for the political affairs of the entire planet?
He directly instructed his administrative staff to handle the matter.
Zhou Qing also assigned them some intelligent AIs that could help them complete various tasks across the planet. It was not something that the current human empire would fear.
This is the so-called Iron Man Rebellion or the AI Rebellion.
This is not a problem for the Federation of Humanities at all; the Federation has plenty of ways to control these guys.
After three AI rebellions and the baptism of the Purge Agreement, the Federation has the absolute technology to control AI, and they are unlikely to cause any problems.
This technology was acquired from the Anti-Corruption Agreement, so for Zhou Qing, a citizen of the Human Federation at this time, AI was something he would inevitably need to use.
Five days later, 400 psionicists emerged from the incubation chambers, completely transformed.
They were all wearing nano combat suits that Zhou Qing had prepared for them. The advantage of nano combat suits is that they can cover you up no matter what your body size is.
These 400 psionicists include both men and women, but the one thing that remains constant is that their combat power is already comparable to that of ordinary Chaos Demons.
Those with exceptional talent can even hold their own against 3 to 4 powerful demons.
"Very good, your strengthening is now complete. For the next period of time, you will continue your training in this city and should not leave the city unnecessarily."
