Chapter 839: Chapter 459, Cruiser Technology!

In no time, merely half a year later, Gu Hang was able to see on the “Vassal” interface that the worlds which had signed the “Seven Horse Territory Economic Union Act” were rapidly increasing in vassal grade.

This vassal grade fundamentally had nothing to do with the economic level or development level of the planet, it purely reflected the relationship between this world and the “sovereign state,” the Alliance.

Under the framework of the Seven Horse Covenant, besides the Tianma Star Sector, seventy-nine worlds were basically at LV2 and LV3. These grades were essentially stable or unstable in vassal status. It meant they could be squeezed for a bit of blood by the Alliance, and the Imperial Tax belonged to a special condition in extraordinary times.

However, starting from LV4 upwards, things were different.

LV4 signified a significant increase in the dependency on the economy, politics, and military of the vassal, and the entire world almost had no will to resist. The sovereign state could then manage and dispose of that world directly.

And reaching LV5 meant direct annexation; there would be no turmoil within the world, and instead, the people of these worlds would have a strong sense of belonging to the sovereign state. They believed they were a part of the sovereign state, naturally generating a strong centripetal force.

Of course, it didn’t mean that once the vassal grade reached LV5, the world could be annexed arbitrarily. This grade was only about the internal state of the vassal world; how others viewed it externally was another matter.

The rising vassal grade meant the Alliance Government did not deceive him with fabrications, and everything was developing smoothly, just as Osenia had reported.

Moreover, the elevation of these planets’ vassal grades brought in more Grace Points income.

This income from Grace Points on one hand was a result of increased productivity following development, and on the other, it was due to the increased ratio of Grace Points rewards following the elevation of vassal grades.

Overall, the base wasn’t large, which quickly raised the monthly points given by vassals from about four thousand to six thousand.

Don’t underestimate this number.

Although it was only two thousand, which might not seem much, the entire Alliance had grown from 36,000 to 37,000 during this period, an increase of merely a thousand.

And this was amidst billions of people migrating and the rapid development of the Alliance’s military and shipbuilding industries.

This shows how profitable it is to develop these poor areas, to bring them to relative prosperity, pull up the extremely barren productivity to something decent, and incidentally elevate the vassal grade to offset the deflation of Grace Points provided by the vassals.

By now, a year had passed since the end of the Steel Wing Star battle.

Gu Hang now had a total of over 1.2 million Grace Points at his disposal.

This was mainly composed of two parts: monthly Grace Points income and vassal income, totaling around 540,000 combined. The other part was the income from annihilating the Ashen Dead Squad, totaling 680,000.

Although the scale of the Ashen Dead was not large, their quality was genuinely high. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Evil God believers on their ships, which were just an addition; the main profit source was those 300 Chaos Starfield Warrior veterans and that Battleship.

Especially the Battleship.

The reward was really high.

For Gu Hang, however, he had another significant ‘treasure trove’ waiting to be unlocked: the Temir battle, and the ongoing Beastman wars that had since expanded into two Star Sectors.

This war had been raging for eight months now, with large scale and brutal intensity. Before, Gu Hang thought the rewards from the Temir battle would be roughly on par with the Steel Wing Star battle, about a million Grace Points. But now, seeing how much larger and longer-lasting the scale of the Temir battle was, it seemed it would continue well into the foreseeable future.

This war wouldn’t just yield a mere one million once finished.

Three million? Four million?

If the Temir battle wasn’t won, the losses wouldn’t just include a total collapse of the situation; the excessive Grace Points could also vanish into thin air.

But this ‘treasure trove,’ for now, seemed unattainable.

However, the current 1.2 million Grace Points at Gu Hang’s disposal still needed to be spent.

Keeping them idle wouldn’t yield more eggs.

Apart from some emergency reserves, Gu Hang planned to spend a million this time.

As usual, five hundred thousand would be on staffing. The ‘Heroes’ interface’s enlightenment would engage government officials, diplomats, and military officers in a wave of enlightenment. Ten Grace Points per person, once points were allocated, these people would have a greater potential for progress and could upgrade on their own.

For instance, Osenia, who was only level one and had a standard ‘N’ card when Gu Hang first enlightened her, had now become a level six administrative officer, and her card had evolved into an SSR, advancing three stages.

Of course, it was Gu Hang who spent the Grace Points to upgrade her.

Human beings, indeed, have boundless potential. Their level can be elevated, so can their potential.

Ordinarily, Gu Hang needn’t worry about the level elevation; they would accumulate enough experience in their competent areas, produce enough outcomes, and could upgrade on their own. But the rarity of the card represented potential. Heroes in this aspect could also improve on their own, but very slowly.
