Chapter 175 Big Dipper Project, Upgrading the Fourth Generation Divine Body
After leaving the Lieyang Star and temporarily ending his carefree journey there, Liu Xie first returned to Earth.
According to Gana, Xun has been brought back.
In this case, the emperor must show up and give out rewards first.
Liu Xie had already decided on the reward for Xun, which was to give him a title.
Considering that the Han Dynasty has not conferred a marquisate for hundreds of years, and there are not many military titles, a title is definitely more valuable than any official position.
After all, an official position can be won through hard work and talent, but a title cannot be obtained through hard work alone. It also depends on the right time, place and people. Without that opportunity, it is impossible for you to be awarded a title.
The last time the Han Dynasty conferred a title of marquis on someone was when the three great doctors of Jian'an jointly developed the "bionics" technology.
This technology enables all subjects of the Han Dynasty to extend their lifespan beyond the 100-year limit to hundreds or even thousands of years without relying on transformation technology.
The three great doctors of Jian'an also made great contributions, so they were all rewarded with the title of Tinghou.
However, although the Xun family has also made contributions to the Han Dynasty, whether in terms of influence or other aspects, the Xun family's contributions are still difficult to compare with the three great doctors of Jian'an, and it is difficult for them to reach the "Hou" level title.
Because in the eyes of many civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, the contribution made by the Xun family was nothing more than expanding the territory. Many of them were not only able to do it, but also did it. However, in the end, they still failed to be rewarded with the title of marquis.
Therefore, if Xun were to be granted the title of nobility, many ministers would probably be dissatisfied.
After all, many people don’t know that super genes such as the Space-Time Rose and the No Star War God have important strategic significance in the Super God’s known universe.
At the beginning, the Han Dynasty used the Xun family to plant a nail next to Dukao and other Denor survivors, and also used the Xun family to make the Time and Space Rose and the Han Dynasty form an inseparable relationship...
Taking all factors into consideration, at least Liu Xie himself felt that there was absolutely no problem in being granted the title of Marquis.
But it is not necessary to confer a title of nobility to highlight Xun's achievements.
For example, it is also acceptable to confer the title of "King".
Emperor Wu's grandmother was once named "Jun", namely Pingyuan Jun.
Furthermore, it is not impossible to confer titles such as princess of a county or princess of a county.
There were not as many restrictions on these titles as there were on marquises. With so many civil and military officials watching over them, the emperor could basically decide on his own.
"What does the Queen think?"
After returning to the palace, Liu Xie asked Gana for his opinion.
As the mother of the country and the queen of heaven, it would be more appropriate for Gana to decide on official positions and titles for women.
"Then make her a county lord?"
Hearing this, Gana also spoke tentatively.
Although the title of Princess can only be bestowed on the daughters of the Han royal family in the current Han Dynasty, if Liu Xie is interested, there are ways to do it.
For example, wouldn't it be enough to let Xun become the adopted daughter of Liu Bei, the great uncle of the Han emperor?
"Then let's do as the Queen wishes."
Liu Xie immediately understood what Gana meant and agreed.
He also felt that it was appropriate to give Xun the title of Princess.
After all, Xun had a father like Xun Yu, so she could have lived a life of luxury and wealth as a noble lady without having to do this.
But she chose to abandon everything she had for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and even went to an unprecedented level, traveling millions of light years away from the earth.
During this period, if Dukao was cruel enough and did not arrange for her to hibernate, she would also face the risk of dying on a foreign planet.
I'm afraid that even many men who claim to be strong men may not have the determination to make such a choice.
Therefore, Liu Xie felt that it was not an exaggeration to give a princess the title of princess.
I even feel that this is not enough.
"Xun is already quite old. Let the Engineering Institute tailor a gene to extend her lifespan, or help her complete the third-level transformation."
Liu Xie continued.
Xun is now in his forties. Even if he is in good health, he can only live for another 20 to 30 years at most.
Of course, he could not allow his meritorious officials to die before they could enjoy many good days.
Now that the Han Dynasty owns the entire galaxy, it is easy to develop a gene that can prolong the life of a "princess" or complete the third-level transformation.
In this way, Xun could at least be like Dukao and live for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years without suffering a fatal blow.
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it later."
Jana nodded, indicating that she knew what to do.
"Oh, by the way, I took in another concubine not long ago on Lieyang Star. I hope the Queen can help arrange it."
Liu Xie continued speaking somewhat embarrassedly.
If Nareena being the consort was part of the plan, it was something that had been considered and decided long ago.
Then Wu Zhao was a complete accident.
This time, Liu Xie also admitted that he could not control his crotch.
"Is it the little girl next to Reina?"
Jana laughed.
Although no one had told her about this in advance, she was still able to guess immediately which woman on Lieyang Star could catch Liu Xie's eye.
"Yes, her name is Wu Zhao, and she is a relatively technical person. I originally wanted to bring her back to Earth and let the Queen teach and train her personally, but she only wanted to follow Reina."
Liu Xie went on to explain.
"Then, like Reina, I'll give you a noble title as well?"
After Liu Xie finished speaking, Gana continued tentatively.
In fact, Liu Xie could have made his own decision on this matter. After all, according to the traditions of Earth and the Han Dynasty, the emperor never had to ask the empress before taking a concubine and starting a harem.
But Liu Xie took her feelings into consideration and cherished her as the queen who had shared hardships with him, so no matter who he wanted to marry, he would discuss it with her first.
"Okay, I'll be your honor."
Gana spoke, and Liu Xie immediately made the decision.
Although in the original Han Dynasty harem hierarchy, there were ranks such as Queen, Noble Lady, Beauty, Palace Lady, and Court Lady below the Queen.
However, since the end of the Jian'an period, after the women in Liu Xie's former harem had passed away and Gana became the queen, these ranks were no longer established.
In the entire harem of the Han Dynasty, apart from some female officials in charge of various matters, there was only Queen Gana.
Now Liu Xie started to establish a harem again, and the number of women in the harem suddenly reached three.
However, Liu Xie had no intention of restoring the previous ranks of the concubines.
After all, the women who are favored by him now are all very capable and of high status.
It is impossible for her to be like his previous women and have to stay in the harem and be managed by the queen.
For example, it is impossible for the current Reina and Wu Zhao to come to Earth honestly and just stay in the deep palace as Liu Xie's caged birds. Naturally, the so-called rank and title are not of much significance.
There are women who already have some cool titles, like Reina’s title of Sun Goddess, Dawn Goddess, and Wu Zhao’s title of Patron Saint.
Suddenly, they were given not-so-good titles such as beauties, palace ladies, and court ladies, which do not sound very nice. Even if they don't say anything, they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Therefore, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, we should also take their feelings into consideration.
Liu Xie decided to just establish a noble title below the queen.
After all, Gana came first and accompanied Liu Xie through the most difficult days, so it was natural that her status was higher than everyone else.
As for the rest, since everyone came later, they are all the same.
In other words, from now on, apart from the queen, there would only be noble ladies in Liu Xie's harem.
After talking about the rewards for Xun, Wu Zhao's title, and the future harem system, the two started talking about other things.
"Your Majesty, this is the progress of our project, which has already taken shape as the "War Star", or the "Big Dipper" project..."
Gana first introduced to Liu Xie that since the completion of the "Golden Crow" project, the Han Dynasty had learned from the experience and technology and was embarking on another major project.
From the project development to now, the number of "battle stars" selected for development has increased from one at the beginning to seven.
And these seven "war stars" are also called the seven bright stars seen in the night sky of the earth, the Big Dipper by the current Han subjects.
That is, the seven stars are called Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.
Or it is called Alpha Ursa Majoris, Beta Ursa Majoris, Gamma Ursa Majoris, Delta Ursa Majoris, Epsilon Ursa Majoris, Zeta Ursa Majoris, and Eta Ursa Majoris.
Of course, the so-called seven war stars in the Big Dipper are not really modified from these planets.
Just like the Kunlun Mountain and other motherships built by the Han Dynasty before, they were not really going to use those mountains for development and transformation.
The so-called Big Dipper Battle Star is just a symbolic code name.
"The Big Dipper? It's a nice name."
After listening to Gana's introduction, Liu Xie was also very satisfied with the name.
At least, this is in line with the traditions and culture of the Han Dynasty and is not a random name.
"Also, regarding the situation on Blue Star, the general told me before that Dukao can no longer hold on, and it is possible that he will abandon Blue Star and leave again at any time..."
Gana continued to introduce the situation of Blue Star to Liu Xie.
Although she was the person who knew Liu Xie best, she still couldn't guess what Liu Xie's plan was.
If one wanted to deal with Dukao, with the current strength of the Han Dynasty and Liu Xie's own strength, there would definitely be no problem in doing so. However, Liu Xie never touched Dukao.
If he said he didn't want to deal with Dukao, then Liu Xie had been arranging this and that for Dukao and Blue Star, as if he didn't want to let them go.
So, she was very confused and had no idea what Liu Xie was thinking.
"Just let Lu Bu continue to pay attention to their movements."
Liu Xie replied.
He didn't want to explain too much. After all, if you get too serious about it, it would involve the question of his identity as a time traveler and his ability to predict the future.
He didn't want to kill Dukao himself, and wanted Morgana to come. Besides, he just wanted to gain more favorable conditions in the competition with Morgana for the Rose of Time and Space.
He was also considering Xun Yu and the Xun family, as well as Du Qiangwei who would return to the Han Dynasty in the future.
After all, the relationship between Dukao and them is a fact that cannot be erased.
If the emperor killed Dukao and gave him a certain characterization, then those who had a relationship with Dukao would also feel bad.
Only by giving respect to Dukao can they be decent.
Therefore, Liu Xie has always adopted a patient attitude towards Dukao's affairs.
"Then what measures should our Han Dynasty take regarding the competition between the angels, demons, and scum? Does Your Majesty want to go there in person?"
Finishing the topic of Blue Star, Gana continued.
Liu Xie returned from his vacation on Lieyang Star probably for this matter.
After all, the competition among angels, demons, and scum can be regarded as a huge fight between the god-making civilizations in the known universe, except for the Han Dynasty.
In a fight of this magnitude, even if the Big Han can keep out of it now and not provoke any side, no side dares to provoke the Big Han.
But as the situation continues to deteriorate, it is not certain that the big man will be able to remain unscathed.
If the big man does not take the initiative to participate, then he can seize the opportunity to enter the scene and gain an advantage.
Then, when the big man is forced to enter the battlefield, he may no longer have any advantage.
Just like a certain country in the World War II period in modern history, they also kept to themselves in the early days, drinking beer, eating fried chicken and watching others fight.
However, they knew how to seize opportunities, and when the time was right, they entered the field as "saviors", and then became the world's most powerful country in one fell swoop...
"Of course I have to go over and watch, and the Han Dynasty must also prepare for war with all its strength..."
After thinking about it, Liu Xie said without hesitation.
However, before going there, he also had to upgrade himself first.
Now, no matter how you look at it, he can only be considered a third-generation god in Shenhe technology.
Even if a third-generation god faced Morgana, the weakest fourth-generation god, he would not be Morgana's opponent without using other technologies.
When Carl could upgrade Hua Ye at any time, and Morgana and He Xi were both fourth-generation gods, it would not be good enough for him to go there with only a third-generation divine body.
Don't even think about pretending to be cool, you might end up getting slapped in the face.
Therefore, he must upgrade his divine body once again. Not only must he upgrade it to the fourth generation divine body, but he must also upgrade every aspect of himself to perfection. This is the safest way.
"I just don't know how the materials for upgrading my fourth-generation divine body are being prepared?"
Thinking about upgrading the divine body, Liu Xie also asked Gana.
"It has been prepared long ago. If Your Majesty wants to upgrade now, you can do so at any time."
Gana replied.
Because preparing materials for Emperor Liu Xie to upgrade his fourth-generation divine body has always been the top priority for all the subjects of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, preparations had already begun when Emperor Hongkun just returned to the known universe.
Preparations have been made until now, and after destroying the Lieyang civilization, some materials for the fourth-generation divine body that Di Hongkun originally prepared for Pan Zhen were also obtained from the treasure house of the Lieyang civilization.
Also, the little bit that was left after Gana used it herself, when added up, is indeed enough for Liu Xie to upgrade now.
"Then let's get started!"
Liu Xie nodded.
