Chapter 440: Action to Overcome Crisis

Although neuron technology has many benefits in the eyes of the discerning.

But the promotion of new technology is not smooth sailing.

When the various armies of the empire first promoted this technology, no matter which army, they could only group people by conducting simple psychological tests on soldiers, grouping people with similar personalities and thinking together to cooperate in controlling spacecraft.

This approach is obviously not perfect.

Internal conflicts frequently occurred among soldiers due to some minor conflicts and memory leaks.

But the top leaders of the empire gave a death order, and the top leaders of the armies of all parties also knew how much such a technology could bring to the army.

No matter how big the internal contradictions and conflicts were, they must be wiped out under this voice.

After about two weeks of forced running-in period.

Basically, every unit fighting against the mechanical tribe on the front line chose to eliminate nearly one-tenth of the soldiers at the most intense moment of the war.

The pressure on the front line was further increased.

However, it was precisely because of the elimination of this one-tenth of the living force that the empire could mobilize at least three times the direct military force after completing the integration of the army.

This was 20% higher than the originally expected increase in military strength.

After entering a hive mind network with a similar thinking mode, human consciousness will dispatch each other's subconsciousness.

Let the spiritual power originally hidden in the human brain be fully exerted, so that the proportion of personnel reduction in the hive mind cluster controlling the ship is greater than in the test.

This is the source of the extra 20% military force.

The eliminated soldiers will be diagnosed by psychologists and transferred to logistics after a certain period of psychological treatment.

And some people in logistics will enter the front-line troops because of their own consciousness strength.

This is a full-scale dispatch at the military level, and no one will be left out.

Everything is only for the service of war.

In addition to the problems at the soldier level, there are also problems at the officer level.

The consciousness of the commander often needs to coordinate the consciousness of the subordinate soldiers, and needs to bear very huge pressure.

The middle and lower-level officers are okay, and the mental pressure of dozens or hundreds of people is acceptable in the case of Zerg neurons.

But the mental pressure faced by officers who can command more soldiers is no longer within the scope that ordinary people can accept casually.

Mental drugs will also become standard for military supplies.

The drugs originally produced for psychics will be produced after the drug ingredients are reduced in proportion, and distributed to every officer who needs it.

And the higher-level generals.

That is to say, all kinds of mental drugs, various mental stimulation equipment, and everything that can enhance the mental power of ordinary people and protect consciousness must be used.

Even so, this is still a huge test for the generals.

Some generals still find it difficult to adapt to the new way of fighting, even if there are various facilities specially prepared by the subsequent research institute for the connection of neurons to the hive mind network to reduce the mental burden of the generals.

They can hardly bear the impact of the consciousness of people who come into contact with an entire army during this period, and are forced to retreat to the second line.

Only the real elites can stay on the battlefield.

After completing the comprehensive optimization from ships to soldiers to generals.

The empire can almost be said to be completely different from the past, and its strategic policy is no longer a pure contraction of the defense line.

Instead, while ensuring the stability of the defense line, it constantly infiltrates and harasses the front line of the mechanical race.

Investigate the use of colonial resources by the mechanical race after occupying the first and second rings outside the empire after invading the empire.

The reason is naturally for future counterattacks.

Although the Empire's suddenly growing military power has exceeded the strength of the mechanical race on the front battlefield in a short period of time.

But the Empire is not in a hurry.

The mechanical race is likely to have backup reinforcements.

And...

The Empire does need to wait for a critical opportunity.

June 9, 5605 AD.

In the second month after the neuron ships were fully equipped.

It was also the third and a half months after the war between the Empire and the mechanical race began.

The Extraordinary Research Institute published a paper titled "Deconstruction of Super Body".

Signed by Huihuang, Chaofan, and the former director of the Ship Research Institute of the 14th Legion, who is now retired and eating and drinking with Chen Ming, and the director of the Psychic Research Institute.

In this paper, the complete research process of the Extraordinary Research Institute on super bodies is given in detail.

The manufacturing of super bodies is analyzed from macro to micro levels, from theory to actual manufacturing, from basic material disassembly to the top-level operating logic.

In-depth analysis of all the capabilities of warships such as super bodies.

At the same time, the weaknesses of super bodies are thoroughly analyzed, and means of dealing with super bodies are given.

Even though the methods given to deal with the super-body are very difficult.

But on the sixth day after the publication of "Deconstruction of Super-Body".

The Empire successfully destroyed the second super-body of the Mechanical Clan without any casualties.

The last time the super-body was destroyed, a Level 6 psychic was lost.

And this time, the Empire can even say that there was no consumption of the mental power of several psychics who participated in the battle to destroy the super-body.

Of course, if you have to count, there is also the complete prototype super-body belonging to Chen Ming that failed to be controlled by the Alpha-class afterglow and appeared on the battlefield in the early stage of the war between the Empire and the Mechanical Clan.

But in short, as long as this paper comes out, as long as the Mechanical Clan's super-body is destroyed.

Then everything is worth it.

The technical environment left by Chen Ming before. It finally played a role and promoted the further development of super-body related technologies.

The super-body is no longer an enemy that cannot be targeted.

As long as it dares to appear on the battlefield again, what awaits it will be the hunting of several level 6 psychics under the guidance of the president.

This solves the biggest problem of the empire at present, that is, there is no subsequent means of counterattack against the mechanical race.

The mechanical race suppresses the empire in all aspects.

The failure in the early wars made it impossible for the empire to achieve this goal through the fleet.

It can only use the real top combat psychics to try to play a role after breaking through the siege of the mechanical fleet.

Unfortunately, the mechanical race used super-bodies to hold back all the high-level combat forces of the empire.

Not all level 6 psychics can withstand and repel one-on-one.

Therefore, most psychics cannot be dispatched on the front line of the war, and those who can be called must always be vigilant against the sudden attack of super-bodies.

Therefore, the mechanical race can use ships to suppress the empire and delay time.

The longer they delay, the more they can gain a foothold on the border of the Empire, but the Empire cannot afford to delay.

The more the mechanical race delays, the more the Empire is restricted.

Even if there is new technology, this technology cannot be used without limit.

The longer it is used, the greater the damage to consciousness.

Especially for generals and commanders.

The stalemate with the mechanical race is the worst situation for the generals of the Empire.

The price of their mental power will continue to increase with the increase of wars.

In this stalemate.

The emergence of this paper on super body design has reversed the situation instantly.

After this, the top psychics of the Empire will no longer need to be restricted by super bodies, and can play their due role more.

The Empire can fully rely on the top combat power of psychics to do many things that it could not do before when it was restricted by super bodies.

There is another more important thing.

That is, with the solution of the super body problem, the long-dormant Zerg fleet can finally go to the front line.

The Queen's language ability has not been taught well by Chen Ming so far, and it can't communicate with humans other than Chen Ming.

Therefore, the Zerg cannot act in conjunction with the Empire, and can only play a logistical role in the war between the Empire and the Mechanic race, producing more neurons for the Empire.

The Zerg fleet cannot be mixed with the Imperial fleet, and can only act on its own.

But when the threat of the super body was still there, the Zerg's own actions were a waste of the Mechanic race's super body, and there was no means of counterattack.

Now the situation is completely different.

The biggest shackles restricting the Zerg fleet have been removed.

The situation of the war between the Empire and the Mechanic race will change from the moment the second Mechanic super body was destroyed.

Time flies.

A few days after the second super body was destroyed.

The Mechanic race did not simply give up using the super body as a top combat force to fight against the Empire's psykers.

They still continue to use the super body to do what they did before.

Then, the third super body of the Mechanic race was destroyed.

There are currently a total of 6 super bodies, one of which was destroyed by the Empire psyker in a mutually destructive way when it first invaded.

Now that they have destroyed two super bodies again, they finally realized that the Empire really has the ability to deal with super bodies, and they can no longer threaten the Empire from this aspect.

As for the Empire.

In the case that super bodies have previously caused many heavy casualties to the Empire's front-line fleet, the news that two super bodies have been destroyed has undoubtedly brought unprecedented excitement to the front line.

The battle line has been stabilized by the rapidly expanding technology, and the arrival of this good news has made the combat effectiveness of the front line increase.

The Empire can no longer be regarded as being strangled by the mechanical race, and it can barely breathe through the blockade of the mechanical race.

In the entire Empire, the one who is most affected and most aware of this is of course Baiquan on the front line.

In the headquarters building in the direction of the Galo star field, he is holding regular tactical meetings.

He looks very mentally ill in the main seat of the conference room. Obviously, he has been through frequent and many battles.

The mental state of several other generals at the conference table is obviously not very good, but not as serious as Baiquan.

At present, Baiquan is basically relying on drugs to maintain his spirit.

If he hadn't had the psychics specially equipped by the legion to monitor and maintain his mental state, he would have probably collapsed long ago.

Bai Quan didn't seem to care about this.

On the conference table in front of him was projected a star map of the direction where he was stationed.

It clearly showed the situation of the Empire and the Mechanic Clan.

"We need to coordinate with the fleets of several neighboring star regions and try to counterattack the Mechanic Clan."

"Here is the key."

Bai Quan moved his hands and marked a route on the star map that passed through the weakest position of the Mechanic Clan's front line and hit their rear, which was originally the outer ring of the Empire.

He pointed to the end of the line and said: "Although we have solved the Mechanic Clan's super bodies, the problem we have to face is still there."

"That is, the Mechanic Clan has indeed occupied our territory. They are active in these places and use our resources to transfuse blood for them."

"Although those are all border galaxies, the mechanical race has to find ways to develop resources if they want to use them, but it will not be a long-term solution."

"So we must find a way to curb this situation."

"This is a plan that needs to be carried out simultaneously on the front line and behind enemy lines."

"We need to put pressure on the mechanical race on the front line, and we also need someone to lurk behind enemy lines to destroy their industrial bases."

"Let's discuss the problems behind enemy lines first."

"Lu Bai."

"Here!"

Lu Bai, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room, stood up immediately.

Bai Quan understood again and enlarged the star map, showing the end of the line he had just marked, and some new marks appeared on it.

"This is the news sent back by the fleet that infiltrated. There is an important colony of the mechanical race and one of their colossi."

"We have lost about 500 people in total for the news of this galaxy and this colossus."

"The value of this news... is very important."

A trace of regret flashed in Lu Bai's eyes, and he said: "It's a pity that the technology couldn't be promoted earlier."

"It can't be promoted earlier. Only at this time can this technology be promoted to the whole country so quickly."

"Now is not the time to miss it."

Bai Quan began to explain in detail the task to be assigned to Lu Bai: "According to investigations, this industrial colony of the mechanical race is producing core components for the manufacture of mechanical ships."

"As long as this industrial colony is destroyed, their ship production will stagnate."

"And there should be a personality core belonging to the mechanical race in this industrial colony."

"If we can bring it back, then we can read the data inside through an artificial intelligence called Jihou by Chen Ming, and figure out the military deployment of the mechanical race."

"The mission has three goals, the colony, the personality core and the colossus."

"As long as one of the three tasks can be completed, it will be considered a success."

"The front line will continue to exert pressure, and the rest will be left to you."

Lu Bai agreed straightforwardly: "I understand."

"Well, you can decide on the resources yourself. Just like last time, only you and the team members you personally selected will participate in this mission."

"I hope you can complete the mission this time, just like last time, with only one team member lost."

Lu Bai was a little silent.

Bai Quan handed Lu Bai a document with his name signed but the content not yet filled in.

Lu Bai took the document and saluted Bai Quan, saying: "There will be no losses this time."
