Chapter 1564 War Is People-Oriented
The earth itself can bear the resources consumed to support human beings, but the resources required to manufacture war weapons and arm seven billion people are not something that a small broken ball can carry.
Arming all mankind does not mean giving everyone a gun and hundreds of bullets. It requires the production of a large number of exoskeleton mechas, amphibious fighter jets, aerospace aircraft carriers, giant starships, black-tech cannons, and armored vehicles. ...Sufficient and advanced weapons and equipment are the basic guarantee for modern armies to improve their combat effectiveness.
After all, the reason why humans evolved from monkeys to humans is to use tools rationally. It is not advisable to rely on strong physical fitness like some superheroes to put on a pair of pants and a cape and go to the battlefield to fight hand-to-hand.
Manufacturing these equipment requires a huge amount of steel and rare metals. The earth's mineral resources are limited. Not to mention the amount of mining, over-exploitation will seriously damage the environment. After all, if the dark parallel universe can be defeated in ten years, how many more people will come? Living on this small broken ball, we can't just ignore the difficulties in front of us. As a result, we won the war but perished due to the serious deterioration of the environment.
In response to this, the Bredero Group also has corresponding black technology reserves, that is, the same universe space shuttle technology and white dwarf material compression technology.
These two technologies are also black technologies that have long existed. The space shuttle technology can be used by Cyborg. Superheroes use space shuttle technology to travel between the Hall of Justice and the Watchtower Satellite.
This technology can create small wormholes to instantly send users hundreds of millions of kilometers away, enabling fast interstellar travel. However, the problem is that the total amount of people and materials transported by this technology each time is limited, and the time it takes for the space wormhole to open is It consumes too much energy for too long, and even if it is powered by black technology energy, it will not be able to sustain it for too long.
To transport huge amounts of resources across space, this technology must be combined with white dwarf material compression technology. The white dwarf material compression technology was developed by Dr. Ray Palmer, a DC superhero atom who copied Ant-Man from the universe next door. , he used a piece of white dwarf star material to create a matter zoom lens, which can shrink anything and then shrink it back.
After the destruction of the Justice League, Damian went to excavate the ruins of the Hall of Justice to find the Atom's equipment. He also found Cai Ruian, a disciple of Dr. Ray Palmer and a member of the Teen Titans and a fourth-generation Chinese Atom, combined with his memories. Pym particle memory, and a matter shrinking device was developed.
The space tunnel allows the earth's mining team to reach any corner of the galaxy. The material reduction equipment can compress the huge amount of mined ore to a very small size and weight and then transport it back to the arsenal of the earth through the space tunnel.
In this way, the earth with unlimited energy and unlimited labor force also has the buff of unlimited resources. It is almost like having a cheat code in a strategy game, and you can completely explode your troops like crazy.
Logistics support is sufficient, and weapons and equipment can be made at will. Based on this calculation, what the earth lacks is soldiers to operate these weapons. As long as qualified soldiers are continuously trained, the military strength of Fortress Earth can grow indefinitely. .
As for why Damian doesn’t create intelligent robot soldiers or annihilate all the people in the world to fight this cosmic war, the reason is simple, because the soldiers created in this way have no souls!
Robot soldiers seem to have more abilities than humans, but they are not torn apart like toys by various superheroes. They can kill these robots faster than the demonoids of Apokolips.
For wars in the DC universe, you cannot just look at panel data. The spirit and will of mortals are also very important. Generally speaking, whichever side the majority of mortals cheer for, the chance of winning for the side that people's hearts support will increase exponentially. This kind of metaphysical The rules of victory and defeat run through countless battles in countless parallel universes in the DC universe. It can almost be said to be the embodiment of the rules of the world.
Damian has made sufficient preparations for the war. Logistics, weapons, the establishment of the highest authority organization, and the legal basis for nationwide recruitment... Everything is ready and all that is needed is the east wind. The most critical part is the people.
A great strategist once said: "Weapons are an important factor in war, but they are not the decisive factor. The decisive factor is people, not things."
The key to the success of the Fortress Earth project lies in the fact that people on Earth can actively participate in this project with their own initiative. Can people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and physical abilities around the world be trained into qualified soldiers? Are they willing to give up their comfortable lives, spend ten precious years of their lives, take on the responsibilities they should have shouldered but failed to bear in the past, and even sacrifice their lives to fight bravely for the survival of the entire human race?
Regarding these several soul tortures, Damian, who formulated the "Fortress Earth Plan", can hardly conclude that the most complex thing in the world is human beings. He can calculate everything with dexterity, but it is difficult to accurately calculate the human heart.
Some people are alive, they are dead, some people are dead, he is still alive.
Although there are seven billion people on the earth, how many of these people are truly living, doing meaningful things, truly believing that "I have no control over my destiny", and truly willing to take up arms to defend the entire human race? The right to exist, and truly willing to donate one's life to protect the earth.
The citizens of some Western countries shout "environmental protection" and "fairness" slogans loudly, and they produce the largest amount of personal waste per capita in the world. They practice double standards and occupy the moral high ground like a holy mother when they accuse others, but they hesitate when it is their turn. .
Damian can't understand the human heart of the people on Earth, and he doesn't bother to understand it. Anyway, he still has a spare tire in the red Superman universe. If the "Fortress Earth Project" fails, all the people on Earth in this universe will die. It's a big deal. He just ran away. Anyway, the failure of this plan was caused by the earthlings themselves. He had already done everything he could and should do everything he should and could do. It was difficult for the Buddha to save someone seeking death, so we couldn’t blame him for not saving him.
If the people of the earth do not want to realize themselves, then they should be forced to obey the "Law for the Protection of Common Interests of Mankind" passed by their own referendum. Those who really refuse to obey, disobey orders, and want to waste ten years waiting for death will be the non-recyclable garbage. Send it to the oasis base to be used as fertilizer for the sacred tree, and process it into waste for White Zetsu super soldiers.
As for whether this is too cruel and disregards human rights, anyway, the superheroes of the Justice League have been killed by the Dark Knight. No one can jump out of the grave to oppose and cause trouble. This tyranny is also the collective responsibility of the Supreme Council of the United Earth Government. Decision-making has nothing to do with the moon god Damian, who lives in seclusion on the moon like a white lotus.
The will of all mankind to join the army has been forcibly resolved through legal coercion, but the quality of soldiers is still an urgent problem to be solved. Globally, 26% of children under the age of fourteen, 11.5% of the elderly, and 10% of people with varying degrees of disabilities.
So, how to train these old, weak, sick and disabled people who would never be soldiers under normal circumstances into qualified super soldiers?
