Alex summarized the policies of this period and issued a new optimization announcement.
However, this time the optimization announcement was not sent to the Players' data boards like last time, but directly to the official website.
[Optimization Announcement:
1: The campaign system has been updated, using war points to calculate the contribution of a Warband or individual in each campaign.
2: The scientific research system has been optimized. Players can use contribution points to seek help from the Machine Spirit: Cortana to solve scientific research problems and improve scientific research coefficients. Players who research new products and new technologies will receive rewards and contribution points.
3: Optimized management gameplay. Players can hire workers to mine in space and build space structures. Increased wetware supply and improved automation engineering efficiency.
4: Added a financial system, closely linked to the credit system. Players who are short of money can borrow money through the financial system.
5: Expansion: "Knights to Die" has been updated. The Star Realm Knights, who were forced to stay at Lykard Space Station due to a Warp Storm, will provide training for Players.
+++Daily Thought: If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.+++

["Knights to Die" Expansion Background: A battle barge named 'Sword of Knight' was forced to come to Planet Atoma for help due to a Warp Storm.
The Astartes on board belong to the Star Realm Knight Corps. They once had countless distinguished achievements and honors.
This loyal Warband fell in the Valve Battle.
To protect the hundreds of billions of people in the Valve galaxy, Chapter Master Amulade of the Star Realm Knights adopted a crazy plan.
He used the 'Storm' to crash into the 'World Engine' which the Imperial Fleet could not defeat even with all its strength.
This feat successfully stopped the evil conspiracy of the Necrons, but it also caused the entire Warband to be removed from the roster due to heavy losses.
Only Chapter Master Sard, who was buried in a Dreadnought, and 30 new recruits remained in the entire Warband.
When the Sable Sword Warband, which inherited the legacy and homeworld, arrived, they refused the offer and chose to embark on a doomed expedition, just to defend the honor of the Knights.

To enrich the content of the announcement and the expansion, Alex also had Cortana add some pictures and recorded videos.
Soon after the release, the chat group became lively, all discussing the updated content.
Guilliman is the Only Sun: "I'm tired, let's just destroy it.jpg."
Desert Lone Smoke: "Old Thirteen, why aren't you hysterical this time?"
Guilliman is the Only Sun: "Forget it, the Emperor has rejected me six times, I'm tired, I don't want to be loyal anymore."
I Don't Want to Be a Stinky Can: "It seems Old Thirteen is really sad."
Slaanesh God Chosen who Sells Films: "Old Thirteen, don't be sad. I'll send you a tied-up humiliation of Yan Lingji. Go make a Meng Jiao, then come back and continue being loyal."
'Warhammer Most Courageous Bro': "."
Blue Two-Headed Bird! Loyalty: "."
A Bowl of A Bowl of Lobster Soup: "@Slaanesh God Chosen who Sells Films, where is morality? Where is integrity? Where is the website?"
Midnight Lord Asks if Your Scalp Itches: "I've sent it to your email, give me a copy."
"Email + 1."
"Email + 1."
Gabe Meng Jiao: "Yan Lingji is not good-looking, it's better to watch Cthulhu."
"."
The chat group performed as stably as ever.
Less than ten minutes into discussing the game, it was derailed by erotic topics.
On the forum side, Player "One Night Output Slaanesh Ten Times" published a long post.
[My personal views on the new announcement and expansion, please don't spray if you don't like it.
With the recapture of Planet Atoma and the complete defeat of the Nurgle Cultists, the pace was so fast that I was somewhat caught off guard.
This indicates that the game map may not be limited to a single galaxy, at least a Calixis Sector, or even a stellar domain.
The release of the expansion "Knights to Die" is intended to pique our enthusiasm and let us know that there is a wider world out there to explore.
The scientific research system update, as always, benefits farming Players.
Originally, Players could only exchange technology from the Emperor's hands using faith points.
After this update, Players can exchange new technologies with the Cortana little angel using contribution points.
Increased space mining, hiring workers, and increased wetware supply are all encouraging farming Players to expand their scale.
]
As before, Player "One Night Output Slaanesh Ten Times" wrote thousands of words.
He explained in detail the profound meaning of each update and its impact.
Soon after the post was published, the comment section quickly surged to over a hundred comments and continued to increase.
"Big Shot YYDS."
"As expected of a pro player, his insights into the game are deep and to the point."
"I call him the strongest strategy brother."
"Follow Shiro and you won't get lost in the game."
"."
Alex was lurking in the forum and chat group, and he also saw the post.
His face immediately showed some embarrassment.
Who understands? In fact, these announcements have no profound meaning at all.
Alex also didn't plan that far ahead.
He just patched problems as they arose.
He tried to keep it running and maintain the situation.
It has to be said that the world is a huge makeshift troupe.
Power and mystery rely entirely on the imagination of others.
The person involved would just stare with wide eyes, thinking, "Oh, I got through that again."
Not long after the announcement was released, some eager Players sought out the Star Realm Knights for training.
Inside the training ground.
Warmaster, as the first challenger, entered the dueling arena holding a training longsword without a power field.
His opponent was Losa of the Star Realm Knight Corps.
"Come on!"
"Don't let us down."
"Get the first blood."
The Players cheered from the side.
Duels were a daily activity for Astartes Warbands and a place to earn honor.
Any character with a bit of fame had been in the dueling arena.
And PVP has always been an indispensable part of the game.
Before, Players were just pecking at each other like chicks.
Now that real Astartes had arrived, they were naturally very excited.
They wanted to see the gap between them and the real Astartes.
"Not vigilant enough." Losa looked at Warmaster entering the dueling arena and commented, "A true warrior should always maintain a combat stance."
Warmaster didn't speak, just stared intently at the opponent.
Then, holding the sword with both hands, he slashed towards Losa.
Losa dodged the downward slash by stepping aside.
He rushed forward, his dagger pressed against Warmaster's throat.
"You're dead."
Defeated in one round, the Players nearby sighed.
Warmaster was also stunned.
He was also like chopping vegetables on the battlefield.
How could he be instantly killed by the opponent in one encounter?!
"You have strength but no skill or awareness, that's the biggest problem."
Losa shook his head, "I finally understand why Guide wanted me to train you."
"Two-handed sword attacks also have their nuances. At close range, it should be a horizontal sweep, which has a wide attack range, forcing the enemy to retreat and create distance. More importantly, you shouldn't attack with full force; you need to reserve strength to deal with unknown situations."
"."
Warmaster was a bit dejected. As a Player, being instantly killed by an NPC severely dampened his enthusiasm.
But the next second.
[You received guidance, Melee Combat (Proficient) has been upgraded to Melee Combat (Mastery)]
[You received guidance, Two-Handed Sword (Beginner) has been upgraded to Two-Handed Sword (Mastery)]
The continuous pop-up prompts made Warmaster shake off his dejection and become excited.
He didn't expect the training to have such an effect.
It could quickly increase the level of combat skills.
The news that training with the Star Realm Knights could quickly raise combat skill levels spread quickly.
For a time, Players flocked to them.
At this moment, Losa finally understood why Guide wanted him to collect contribution points.
These God Chosen were too enthusiastic and active.
Only when these guys ran out of their contribution points would they reluctantly leave the training ground.
While the Players were diligently training and striving to develop Planet Atoma.
On the orbit of Syntilla, the capital of the Calixis Sector, an army was assembled.
At the strong request of the Tax Department, the Navy assembled a fleet, ready to punish Planet Atoma.
This was to warn those worlds who dared to refuse to pay taxes, letting them know the consequences of not paying taxes.
Standing on the balcony at the top of the Hive City, Sonas looked up at the departing fleet, a smile playing on his lips.
The Colin Family had arranged many of their own people in the punitive fleet.
They would find a way to completely wipe out the Valanxius Family with the punitive fleet.
And that authorization with the Emperor's blood would become the Colin Family's possession.
By then, the entire Calixis Sector would fall under the control of the Colin Family.
Once the situation stabilized, the Colin Family would also have a place on Terra.
Praise the Lord of Wisdom who controls fate and change, it is His blessing that the Colin Family has come this far.
