Chapter 1565 The Old, the Weak, the Sick and the Disabled

All the people on Earth are still wondering what branch children, the elderly, and the disabled will be assigned to after joining the army. The supplementary plan for the branch formation of the "Fortress Earth Project" was quickly made public, clearing everyone's doubts.

For the frail and sick elderly people over 65 years old, as well as the disabled and seriously ill patients with severe disabilities who have almost lost their labor force, there are three types of military services available to them.

The first type is the fearless mecha pilot!

The Dreadnought is a huge combat machine with heavy firepower and high armor. It is more than five meters tall and looks like a stocky machine fortress that walks on two legs.

This mecha looks like a bulky robot or a large armored battle suit, but its agility and sensitivity are countless times better than both, thanks to its unique control method.

The method of controlling the fearless mecha is to connect the nervous system of a living creature with the mecha's "muscles" composed of electronic biochemical fibers and magnetic coils. The mecha seems to become the steel body of the controller. The mecha is like controlling its own body, and this body is stronger, more agile and tireless than the original body.

There is a life-saving cabin inside the Dreadnought mecha. Even the operator who is old, weak or has lost limbs can maintain good vital signs in the life-sustaining cabin. Unless the mecha is destroyed, the pilot can always be in the life-sustaining cabin. Stay healthy with support.

To put it harshly, this mecha is like a walking steel tomb. The nerve connection surgery is also irreversible. Once it enters the mecha's life-saving cabin, it can no longer escape. It can only control the mecha and fight until the end of its life.

It is absolutely impossible for healthy people and young people to be willing to serve as Dreadnought mecha pilots. They still hope to enjoy life in the peaceful era after the war, but they do not want to be trapped in an iron coffin forever. Even if peace comes, they will not be able to retire and return to society. .

But for the elderly and severely disabled people, becoming a fearless mecha pilot and getting a five-meter-tall steel body has come to an end. A life that no longer seems to be meaningful to society is like a second spring. It’s no different than being born again.

These old, weak, sick and disabled people may not be able to live for ten years even if the dark parallel universe does not invade. They are already marginalized people in society. Every day they feel that they have been forgotten by the world, and they don’t know where to die alone and rot. It won't be noticed for a long time if it stinks.

But after entering the life-sustaining cabin, their lifespans are greatly extended, and they can make final contributions to mankind and their descendants. They can gloriously participate in the war to defend the earth and win glory in the war, even if they die in battle. They can also be recorded in history and remembered by future generations as human heroes.

When the nerves are connected to the Dreadnought Mecha, they will have the illusion of regaining their youth, feeling that they have infinite energy, monster-like strength and tireless endurance. This youthful state is better than being groggy and weak every day. , the feeling of being out of breath after taking two steps is much stronger.

Such old, weak, sick and disabled people go to the battlefield and have already spent most of their lives. The desires and pursuits of their youth have been diluted, and they pay little attention to death. They pay more attention to the meaning of the last stage of life and are eager to use their remaining energy before death. , leaving the most dazzling back like a shooting star across the sky.

Under their control, the fearless mechas will truly be worthy of the word fearless. They will rush towards the enemy without hesitation, opening a gap in the defensive position. Treating death as if they are home is not just a slogan, but the final meaning of the rest of their lives.

The second type is cybernetic soldiers, which are mechanized transformations of the body, replacing diseased or disabled organs and limbs, and transforming them into cyborgs with human brains.

This technology is not considered a black technology that cannot be popularized in the DC universe. A typical example is Cyborg. In addition to Cyborg, there is also a brain-in-a-cylinder cyborg that one of the Teen Titans extracted the brain and put it into a culture vat. , many villains are equipped with mechanical prosthetics.

The pilots of the Dreadnought Mecha must undergo strict selection, and through psychological analysis, those determined "veteran warriors" who have a true sense of honor and are willing to make their final contribution to mankind before reaching the end of their lives.

Such veterans do not necessarily have to have been on the battlefield. "Elders" who have experienced a hard life but still maintain their original aspirations are also among the candidates. As for those who are not "old people become bad, but bad people become old" Those who are old and disrespectful will definitely be screened out.

Those who were screened out, whose determination and willpower were not as strong as those of the Dreadnought mecha operators, had to resort to comprehensive cybernetic transformation of their bodies. The transformation method was based on that of the Space Marines, and they were equipped with a second Artificial heart and three artificial lungs, strengthened muscles, modified eyeballs and hearing, strengthened stomach...

After the transformation, the height of the rickety old man and the disabled directly reached 2.3 meters. They were then put on power armor, equipped with electromagnetic wheel Gatling cannons and micro-tracking missiles pirated from Iron Man. Their combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of Marvel. The Iron Overlords of the universe, these space warriors serve as the basic infantry of the human legion to fight against the fearful monsters of the dark multiverse.

He has transformed from a frail old man into a powerful man with two hearts and three lungs. Even after the war is over, he can still live in the form of a strong man. This can be said to be a great benefit for the elderly and disabled people.

These relatively healthy old and weak people have a lifespan of only twenty years at most. As long as they take the chance to transform into space warriors and join the war, as long as they can survive the war, their lifespan can be extended to fifty years or more, and they can still recover. A healthy and strong body is much more reliable than buying lottery tickets, at least better than lying on a sick bed and lingering for more than ten years with no quality of life.

Of course, this benefit is not in vain. If they behave cowardly in battle or even become deserters and soldiers, the coalition government will impose military punishment on them by cutting off genetic enhancement fluid. Without the supplement of enhancement fluid, the Space Marines will His strong body will rapidly age and decay in just one year, eventually turning into a ball of rotten flesh and dying in pain.

Replacement of artificial organs with cybernetic transformation will definitely not bypass the rejection reaction. The Bredlow Group has developed a genetic enhancement fluid to offset the rejection and greatly extend the lifespan of the Space Marines. However, once the supply of the enhancement fluid is cut off, the rejection reaction will surge. Later, this was also a way to control soldiers and maintain loyalty.

The third type is the devil contractor. After all, a lot of money can feed a hundred people. There are many bad people who have become completely bad as they get older. It is really impossible to correct their thoughts through military management. Then we can only let them go to the dark side and degenerate more thoroughly. , the collective signed a demonic contract with the Three Palace Demons.

After signing the contract, the old and weak can be restored to their prime, and can even become immortal like Lars Ghul. They become stronger as they grow older, possessing strong vitality and the ability to heal injuries given by the Three Palace Demons.

After becoming devil apostles, their physical qualities are close to superhuman, and all the emotions and desires that humans should have are retained, as if their youth has been restored for no reason and their bodies have been strengthened.

But being possessed is a moment of pleasure and they make a list after death. When they die, their souls will fall into hell, unless they wake up at the moment of death and can sincerely sacrifice themselves for all mankind and truly show their dedication. can be saved and ascend to heaven.

In a certain movie universe, Constantine originally sold his soul to the devil, but because he was saved before death, he did not fall into hell. In the process of ascending to heaven, he coaxedly raised his middle finger to Satan.

The bad old and weak who have been transformed in this way are bound by a devil's contract. If they violate the contract, they will be burned in the flames of hell immediately. There is no need to worry about them disobeying orders. Damian also leaves them room for self-salvation. If they can If you wake up, you still have the chance to go to heaven, but if you persist in not realizing it, you will do your own fault and fall into hell, and you deserve it.

Using these three methods of manufacturing arms, it is possible to directly enable 11.5% of the elderly and 10% of the disabled people to go into battle. They will have the basic qualities to become qualified soldiers and even super soldiers. The Earth Defense Force will have at least 1 billion troops. The problem of soldier resources has been solved.
