Chapter 440 Action to take the crisis
Although in the eyes of discerning people, neuron technology has various benefits.
But the implementation of new technologies is not always smooth sailing.
When the various armies of the empire first implemented this technology, no matter which army they were, they could only group people into groups by conducting simple psychological tests on soldiers, grouping people with similar personalities, thinking, etc. together to cooperate in controlling the spacecraft.
This approach is obviously not perfect enough.
Internal conflicts among soldiers occurred frequently due to issues such as minor conflicts and memory leaks.
However, the high-level officials of the empire issued a death order, and the high-level military officials of all parties also knew how much improvement such a technology could bring to the army.
No matter how big the internal contradictions and conflicts are, they must be erased under this voice.
After about two weeks of forced break-in period.
Basically, every unit that fought against the machine race on the front line chose to eliminate nearly one-tenth of its soldiers at the most intense moment of the war.
Let the pressure on the front line further increase.
However, precisely because of the elimination of this one-tenth of the effective force, after completing the integration of the army, the direct military force that the empire can call upon has at least tripled.
The increase in military strength was 20% higher than originally expected.
After human consciousness enters a hive thinking network with similar thinking patterns, they will coordinate their subconscious minds with each other.
Let the spiritual power originally hidden in the human brain be fully unleashed, allowing the hive mind cluster to reduce the number of personnel controlling the ship to a greater proportion than in the test.
This is the source of the extra 20% military power.
Eliminated soldiers will be diagnosed by a psychologist and transferred to logistics after a certain period of psychological treatment.
There will also be people in the logistics who join the frontline troops because of their own strength of consciousness.
This is a comprehensive deployment at the military level, and no one will be left out.
All for the sake of war.
In addition to problems at the soldier level, there are also problems at the officer level.
The commander's consciousness often needs to coordinate the consciousness of his subordinate soldiers, and he needs to bear tremendous pressure.
The officers at the middle and lower levels were fine, and the mental pressure of dozens or hundreds of people was still bearable with Zerg neurons.
But the mental pressure faced by officers who can command larger numbers of soldiers is no longer something that ordinary people can easily accept.
Psychotropic drugs will also become standard in military rations.
The drugs originally produced for psychics will be produced after reducing the content of the drug ingredients in proportion and distributed to every officer in need.
And the higher-level generals.
That includes all kinds of mental drugs, various devices that stimulate mental power, and other things that can enhance the mental power of ordinary people and protect their consciousness.
Even so, this is still a huge test for the generals.
There are still some generals who find it difficult to adapt to the new combat methods, even if there are various facilities specially prepared by the follow-up research institute that are specially used to connect neurons to the hive mind network to reduce the mental burden on the generals.
It was also difficult for them to withstand the impact of being exposed to the consciousness of an entire army during this period of time, and they were forced to take a back seat.
Only the true elite can remain on the battlefield.
After completing comprehensive optimization from ships to soldiers to generals.
The empire is almost completely different from the past, and its strategic policy is no longer purely about shrinking the defense line.
Instead, they continued to infiltrate and harass the mechanical clan's front while ensuring that the defense line was stable.
Investigate the use of colonial resources by the mechanical tribe after they invaded the empire and occupied the first and second outer rings of the empire.
The reason is naturally for future counterattacks.
Although the empire's sudden increase in military power in a short period of time has exceeded the strength of the mechanical tribe on the frontal battlefield.
But the Empire was in no hurry.
It is very likely that the Machine Tribe has backup reinforcements.
And...
The empire does need to wait for a critical opportunity.
June 9, 5605 AD.
In the middle of the second month after the neuron ship was fully commissioned.
It was also three and a half months after the war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe began.
The Supernatural Research Institute released a paper titled "Deconstruction of the Superbody."
The names were signed by Brilliant, Extraordinary, and the former director of the Ship Research Institute of the 14th Army Corps, the director of the Psychic Research Institute, and the director of the Psychic Research Institute who are now retired and hanging out with Chen Ming.
In this paper, the complete research process of the Super Body by the Super Research Institute is given in detail.
Analyze the manufacturing of super bodies from the macro to the micro level, from theory to actual manufacturing, from basic material disassembly to the top-level operating logic.
An in-depth analysis of all the capabilities of a warship like the Super Body.
At the same time, the weaknesses of the super body are also thoroughly analyzed, and methods for dealing with the super body are given.
Even the means given for dealing with super-bodies are very difficult.
But on the sixth day after the publication of "Superbody Deconstruction".
The Empire successfully destroyed the second super-ship of the Machine Tribe without any casualties.
The last time the super body was destroyed, a level 6 psyker was lost.
This time, the Empire could even say that it had not consumed any mental power except for the mental power of a few psykers who participated in the battle to destroy the super body.
Of course, if we have to count, the complete trial super-ship belonging to Chen Ming was not controlled by the Alpha-class Afterglow and appeared on the battlefield in the early stages of the war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe.
But all in all, as long as this paper comes out, as long as the super body of the mechanical family is destroyed.
Then it's all worth it.
The technical environment left behind by Chen Ming. After all, it played a role and promoted further research and 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 hunted by several level 6 psykers under the guidance of the president.
This solved one of the empire's biggest problems at present, which was the problem of not having any follow-up means to counterattack the machine race.
The machine race suppresses the empire in all aspects.
The early defeats in the war prevented the empire from achieving this goal through the fleet.
Only the truly top combat psykers can try to play a role in breaking through the siege of the machine fleet.
It's a pity that the mechanical tribe used super bodies to hold back all the high-level combat power of the empire.
Not all level 6 psykers can withstand or repel one-on-one attacks.
Therefore, most psykers are unable to dispatch on the front lines of the war, and those who can mobilize must always be alert to sudden attacks by super bodies.
Therefore, the machine race can use ships to suppress the empire and delay time.
The longer they delay, the more they can gain a foothold on the Empire's borders, but the Empire cannot afford to delay.
The more the machine race drags on, the more the empire is restricted and the more it drags on.
Even if there is new technology, this technology cannot be used without restrictions. The longer it is used, the greater the damage to consciousness.
Especially for generals and commanders.
The stalemate with the machine race is the worst situation for the imperial generals.
The price they pay in terms of mental power will continue to increase as the number of wars increases.
In this deadlocked situation.
The emergence of this paper on superbody design instantly reversed the situation.
After this, the empire's top psykers will no longer need to be restricted by super bodies and will be able to play their due role even more.
The empire can fully rely on the top combat power of psykers to do many things that were previously impossible when they were restricted by super bodies.
There is one more important thing.
That is, with the super-body problem solved, the long-dormant Zerg fleet can finally go to the front line.
The insect queen's language skills have not yet been taught well by Chen Ming, and it cannot communicate with humans other than Chen Ming.
Therefore, the Zerg cannot join forces with the Empire and can only play a logistical role in the war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe, producing more neurons for the Empire.
The Zerg fleet cannot mix with the Imperial fleet and can only act on its own.
But when the threat of super bodies was still there before, the Zerg's own actions were to defeat the super bodies of the mechanical race in vain, without any means of countermeasures.
Things are completely different now.
The biggest shackle limiting the Zerg fleet has been removed.
The situation in the war between the Empire and the Machine Tribe will change from the moment the Machine Tribe's second super-body is destroyed.
Time flies.
A few days after the second supership was destroyed.
The Machine Tribe did not simply give up on using super bodies as their top combat power to confront the Empire's psykers.
They are still continuing to use their super bodies to do what they were doing before.
Then, the third super-ship of the mechanical race was destroyed.
There are currently a total of 6 super-bodies, one of which was destroyed by Imperial psykers during the initial invasion.
Now that they have destroyed two super-bodies again, they have 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.
And for the empire.
In the case where the super body has caused many heavy casualties to the empire's frontline fleet before, the news that the super body was destroyed and two ships were destroyed undoubtedly brought unprecedented excitement to the front line.
The front line has been stabilized by the rapid expansion of technology, and the arrival of this good news has allowed the front line's combat effectiveness to increase.
The empire can no longer be regarded as being choked by the mechanical clan. It can barely breathe through the blockade of the mechanical clan.
In the entire empire, the one who was most affected by this and felt it most clearly was Baiquan on the front line.
In the headquarters building in the direction of the Gallo Star Territory, he is holding regular tactical meetings.
He looked in a very poor mental state in the main seat of the conference room. It was obvious that he had been through frequent and many battles.
The mental state of several other generals at the conference table was obviously not good, but not as serious as Bai Quan.
At present, Baiquan is basically relying on drugs to maintain his energy.
If it weren't for him and the psykers specially equipped by the legion to monitor and maintain his mental state, he might have collapsed long ago.
Baiquan didn't seem to care about this.
A star map of the direction where he was stationed was projected on the conference table in front of him.
The above clearly shows the situation between the empire and the machine race.
"We need to link up with the fleets in several neighboring star regions to try to counterattack the machine race."
"Here is the key."
Bai Quan moved his hand and marked a route on the star map that passed through the weakest point of the Machine Clan's front line of defense 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 mechanical super body, the problem we have to face is still there."
"That means that the machine race has indeed taken over our territory. They are active in these places and use our resources to transfuse blood for them."
"Although those are border galaxies, and the machine race has to find ways to develop them if they want to use resources, it will not be a problem in the long run."
"So we have to find ways to curb this."
"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 machine race on the front line, and we also need someone to lurk behind enemy lines and destroy their industrial base."
"Let's discuss the issue behind enemy lines first."
"Lu Bai."
"Arrived!"
Lu Bai, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room, stood up immediately.
Baiquan understood again and started to enlarge 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 penetrated the past. There is an important colony of the mechanical race and their colossus."
"We have lost about five hundred people in total for the news about 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 that technology could not be implemented earlier."
"It won't be possible to implement it earlier. Only at this time can this technology be implemented nationwide so quickly."
"Now is not the time to miss."
Bai Quan began to explain in detail the task to be assigned to Lu Bai: "It is investigated that this industrial colony of the Machine Tribe is producing core components for the manufacture of the Machine Tribe's 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 use Chen Ming's artificial intelligence, which he calls the Machine Queen, to read the data inside and figure out the military defense of the Machine Clan."
"There are only three purposes of the mission, the colony, the core of personality 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 simply: "I understand."
"Well, it's up to you to get the resources. It's still the same as last time. Only you and the team members you personally selected will participate in this task."
"I hope this time you can complete the mission with the loss of only one team member like last time."
Lu Bai was slightly silent.
Bai Quan handed Lu Bai a document that had been signed with his name but had not yet been filled in.
Lu Bai took the document and saluted Bai Quan: "There will be no loss this time."
