Chapter 1578 Controlling Reincarnation
In the bridge command center of the "Courage" flagship of the Apokolips expedition fleet in lunar orbit, Bruce Wayne, wearing a general's uniform, was looking at the dark starry sky gate in the distance with an indifferent expression.
In the command center, in addition to the generals in military uniforms, young superheroes are also waiting for orders. Now, these half-grown children who were only sixteen or seventeen years old have grown into aspiring young people in their early twenties. After five years of careful training by Mian, their faces have lost their childishness and become more stable.
The biggest change is that these teenage superheroes no longer wear those colorful tights, but wear uniform nano combat uniforms with their military ranks engraved on them.
Of course, the Fortress Earth Project also includes former superheroes, and no one is exempt. Just because they are more talented and possess extraordinary powers does not exempt them from military service.
The lowest ranks of these teenage superheroes have all reached the rank of major.
Superheroes such as Supergirl, Wonder Girl, Dick Grayson, and Starfire who have performed well in the past have even been promoted to the rank of colonel. They can be awarded the general star if they gain further merit in actual combat.
As for Cyborg, she has been promoted to lieutenant general. This is due to his contributions in the fields of science and technology and communications over the past few years. Whether it is the construction of star gates or the cyber transformation of mankind, she has completed indispensable tasks. Work.
This group of young superheroes now belong to the young and cutting-edge officers of the Earth Defense Force. Many of them were trained and promoted by Bruce Wayne. They are very loyal to Bruce Wayne and belong to the Wayne faction. the backbone of.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are power disputes, there are factions. As the first secretary-general of the coalition government and the current chief of staff of the Earth Defense Force, Bruce Wayne is also one of the most powerful officials in the human camp. It is normal to establish your own faction.
An officer quickly walked into the command center, came to Bruce Wayne, gave him a military salute, and handed him a briefing on the battle situation.
"Rogg's camp has defeated the demon army, and its control area has expanded to a hundred kilometers around the center of the portal. Here is the battle report of the first day of Operation Earth Splitting. Please take a look at it, Chief of Staff."
Bruce took the battle report, glanced at it and nodded: "On the first day of the operation, there were more than 67,000 casualties. Well... the battle losses were relatively low. The old men and young men did a good job."
A young officer next to him frowned when he heard this. This officer was Colonel Dick Grayson, the aide-de-camp to Bruce Wayne's chief of staff. Dick Grayson had been following Damian for the past few years to serve as a pawn for him. The adjutant is as dedicated and dedicated as he was when he was Robin to Batman.
Of course, Damian has always shown himself as Bruce Wayne. To those who don't know the truth, Dick is still acting as Robin to Batman.
"More than 60,000 casualties were suffered on the first day. The battle losses are too high, right?"
Dick said worriedly: "War is indeed a monster that devours human lives. Operation Earthquake is an endless conquest. According to the operation plan, it will last at least several years. Calculating this, we will lose more than nearly 100,000 yuan in hell every year." Thousands of soldiers!”
"There won't be that many!" Bruce shook his head and said: "On the first day of landing in Hell, our soldiers have not yet adapted to the battlefield, so it is natural that the casualty rate will be higher. When the soldiers are trained, the daily casualties are expected to drop to around 20,000. "
"Twenty thousand is not a lot!" Dick Grayson still had a hard time accepting it, and said distressedly: "Twenty thousand casualties every day... This is simply unimaginable in peacetime..."
At this point, he lowered his voice, used the secret transmission technique, and said to the fake Bruce: "No wonder the real Bruce said that you are too cold-hearted and don't take human life seriously at all. Tens of thousands or even thousands of Wan's death can't cause any ripples in your heart, you don't regard people as living beings at all."
The fake Bruce shook his head slightly with a half-smile, and also used the technique of transmitting sounds into secrets, and replied: "So, his vision is just that, and he has a poor view of the overall situation. He should be a good brother." It’s hard for Mayor Tan, so he can just beat up some unlucky gangsters. Do you think I didn’t consider the cost of war? Do you think I made plans to send tens of thousands of people to death just because I’m cruel? I Let me teach you what it means to look at the overall situation! In fact, I think 60,000 casualties every day is too few!"
Dick Grayson was horrified when he heard this, and looked at the fake Bruce with a look like a devil. Although he had known for a long time that this kid was ruthless, he didn't expect that he could be so ruthless, and he even thought that the Earth Defense Force did not have enough casualties. , and even said that sacrificing so many lives was about the overall situation! This is simply a typical statement made by the villain boss!
"Do you know what the normal mortality rate is for people on Earth in peacetime?"
Fake Bruce then asked rhetorically: "In peacetime, the total number of people dying in the world every year is more than 58 million, which works out to 160,000 people dying every day. If this number is not reached, the growth rate of the earth's population will be too high, and the ecological pressure will be It will exceed the load of the earth. After the implementation of the Fortress Earth plan, the elderly, disabled people and patients have all undergone cyber transformation. The natural mortality rate of the population has been greatly reduced, and the natural cycle of birth, old age, illness and death has been broken. If the population is not consumed in wars, The balance of life and death in the universe will be disrupted. In short, the entrances to the underworld and heaven have been deserted in the past few years. If we don't send some people to heaven, it will cause an imbalance crisis due to breaking the rules of life and death in the world! It's still uncertain by then. What kind of disaster could break out to forcibly reduce the population!"
Dick Grayson was also stunned. He never expected that Damian would send troops to hell to die, and there would also be family planning and environmental protection considerations. Of course, this "family planning" and "environmental protection" are from the perspective of balancing the rules of life and death in the world, and have traditional meanings. "Family planning" and "environmental protection" mentioned in the Internet are not the same thing.
"Cosmic ecological crises" where the rules of a certain world are out of balance often occur in the DC universe, just like once the anti-life equation is tampered with into the life equation, it will trigger a zombie crisis, which will destroy the earth faster. The mortality rate of the earth's people is too low. It's a good thing, but the supreme beings who pay attention to the balance of all things don't like it. They must cause some disaster to balance the data.
To put it nicely, this means that mortals must respect the law of reincarnation. To put it more unpleasantly, it means that higher-dimensional beings don’t want people on earth to live a good life. They feel uncomfortable when they see people on earth living a comfortable life.
"But...but, after the implementation of Fortress Earth's technology, didn't the birth rate also drop significantly?" Dick racked his brains, seeming to have caught the loophole in Damian's logic, and refuted: "Wouldn't the balance between life and death be lost? be broken?"
"Yes, after the plan was implemented, people all over the world entered the boot camp. It was difficult for adult men and women to have private space when training separately. The number of newborns dropped to an all-time low."
Bruce nodded and said: "In this way, the balance is maintained corresponding to the mortality rate. The earth's population does not increase or decrease, and does not affect the law of balance between life and death... However, such a situation also has huge hidden dangers, that is, there is an age gap in the population. After all, human beings cannot live forever. Even if the elderly live longer, they will eventually die of old age. If there are no more newborns, the age gap of the global population will become wider and wider! The harm of the age gap in the population needs no elaboration, so from now on, the coalition government will lift the ban , mixed groups of adult male and female soldiers, and encouraged them to applaud love and create humans as a reasonable pastime and fitness method during the long and boring starship duty process. While the war consumed the population, the implementation of policies triggered a wave of war babies. tide!"
Dick Grayson was completely stunned. He never expected that in order to maintain the balance of the world's laws of life and death and keep the age group of the population normal, Damian was not only plotting the death of the people on Earth, but also plotting the life of the people on Earth! They truly have complete control over the life cycle of the people on earth. This is a much higher level of vision than the superheroes who only know how to save people, but only save the people they can see in front of them!
