Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1135 Cloning Taboo
Soon after the outbreak of the war, in order to solve the problem of insufficient soldiers, the Kunyang tribe secretly launched the cloning project, but at that time it was mainly based on preliminary research.Because the battle was fought smoothly without much pressure, and because the Beast and Bingyu tribes were very active and shared a lot of tasks, the Kunyang tribe was able to adhere to the elite soldier policy at the beginning of the war, and the Kunyang tribe's standing army Enough for the tasks undertaken.

In the era of Yu Qingyu, the situation is not so ideal.

Of course, it's not just Yu Qingyu's influence alone.

After surviving the difficult time at the beginning of the war, the Human Federation began to exert its strength, and Yu Qingyu also stepped onto the stage of history at this time.After completing the all-out war mobilization, the Human Federation first expanded its front, that is, by extending the front to weaken the opponent's troop density, so that the Kunyang, Wild Beast and Bingyu tribes that had not yet completed the all-out war mobilization could not rely on limited troops A major breakthrough was made.Next, the defensive strategy proposed and first adopted by Yu Qingyu greatly weakened the advantage of the attacker and made up for the lack of overall strength of the Human Federation.As a result, the Kunyang clan, the wild beast clan, and the Bingyu clan all suffered from insufficient troops.

If, before this, the Kunyang clan could still rely on the Wild Beasts and Bingyu clans, then with the extension of the battle line and the adoption of a deep defense strategy by the Human Federation, problems also appeared in the strength of the Wild Beasts and Bingyu clans Under such circumstances, the Kunyang people can no longer avoid their own problems.

Judging from the situation at the time, if the attacker could not quickly expand its troops and continue to attack, the Human Federation would have the opportunity to build an extremely solid line of defense, and then rely on this line of defense to inflict heavy losses on the attacker, causing the attacker to suffer huge losses. The attacker compromises.In fact, this is also the ultimate goal of the defense-in-depth strategy led by Yu Qingyu, which is to open the door to negotiation through solid defense.

During this period, the Kunyang Clan, the Wild Beast Clan, and the Bingyu Clan are all putting pressure on the Jijing Clan, demanding that the Jijing Clan send troops to join the war.

However, the Jijing tribe did not compromise, but refused to send troops on the grounds that Queen Kang Sheng had just ascended the throne and the conflicts within the tribe had not been completely resolved. They only agreed to provide more support, such as sending legions and fleets to guard the logistics supply line task.

Obviously, the Kunyang clan, the wild beast clan and the Bingyu clan ultimately had to rely on their own strength to solve the problem of insufficient troops.

It was also during this period that the Bingyu Clan Legion began to participate in front-line battles.It's a pity that after a few battles, the poor performance of the Bingyu Clan Corps disappointed everyone.It is no problem for the Bingyu Clan Legion to control the occupied star system, but it is a big problem for the Bingyu Clan Legion to confront the Human Legion.At that time, the several attacks led by the Bingyu Clan Legion all ended in disastrous failures. Not only did it fail to reduce the burden on the Kunyang Clan and the Wild Beast Clan Legion, but in the end, the Kunyang Clan Legion had to come forward to clean up the mess.It can be said that if the Kunyang tribe hadn't been prepared for a long time, if they didn't believe that the Bingyu tribe could change the situation, the consequences would be very serious.

As for the Wild Beast Clan, there is no problem with expanding the army, but it can't help the Kunyang Clan either.

Very simple, the advantage of the Wild Beasts is the size of their troops.Among the four second-rate top civilizations, only the Wild Beasts maintained a large enough standing army during peacetime, and were able to rapidly expand their forces during wartime.On the battlefield, the fighting power of the Beast Clan Legion is also very strong, as long as there are suitable conditions, it can almost sweep everything.The problem is that the Wild Beast Legion does not have the ability to fight alone, especially when fighting against the Human Legion.The point is, what the human legion is best at is defense. As long as a solid fortress is built, it can often block a hundred with one.When facing the beast army, the defense strength of the human army can be brought to the extreme.It's very simple, the beast army has only a numerical advantage, and the defensive tactics of the human army are especially suitable for fighting against enemies who have a numerical advantage.That's why, on most battlefields, the Wild Beast Legion can only win with the assistance of the Kunyang Clan Legion, or in other words, the Wild Beast Clan Legion assists the Kunyang Clan Legion.Under normal circumstances, the wild beast army will launch the charge first, consuming the firepower and troops of the human army.After the Brutal Beast Legion opened a breakthrough in the defense line of the Human Legion, the elite soldiers of the Kunyang Tribe entered the battle, tearing the defense line of the Human Legion from the breakthrough, forcing the Human Legion to retreat, or dividing and annihilating the Human Legion.

Obviously, the Kunyang Clan Legion is the absolute main force and has played the role of the mainstay.

In other words, even if the Wild Beasts can expand their forces in time, without the cooperation and support of the Kunyang Clan Legion, they will not be able to change the situation of the battle.

All the problems are focused on the Kunyang tribe, and the key is whether the Kunyang tribe can quickly expand their forces.

At that time, the biggest problem was not the output of small primary energy converters, but the number of soldiers.

Don't forget, in the past thousands of years, the four second-rate top civilizations have always been threatened by the three first-rate top civilizations, and they may be attacked at any time.In order to survive and develop, the four second-rate top civilizations have never let down their vigilance and have been preparing for war.Because the war never broke out, the four second-rate top civilizations hoarded a large amount of war resources, such as the original crystals used to manufacture small-scale original energy converters, and most of them were concentrated in the hands of the Kunyang tribe.Don't forget, only the Kunyang people have holy artifacts.Although limited by various factors, especially the limited population size, the Kunyang people do not have the ability to mass-produce small-scale primary energy converters, but in order to protect their own interests and to fight against the three top civilizations, the Kunyang people have been Master the production and supply chain of the original crystal.To put it simply, the other three second-rate top civilizations can only obtain the original crystals provided by the Kunyang tribe when needed, and most of the time they are obtained by purchase.If there is no special need, even the Extreme Realm cannot obtain additional original crystals.

For thousands of years, the Kunyang people have accumulated enough raw crystals.

When the war with the Human Federation breaks out, the raw crystals hoarded by the Kunyang tribe can not only meet their own needs, but also support other civilizations.Even if calculated at the rate of consumption during the war, the raw crystals hoarded by the Kunyang tribe can be used for hundreds of years, and there will be no shortage of raw crystals in the short term.

In fact, in order to defeat the Human Federation as soon as possible, the Kunyang tribe entrusted the Jijing tribe to speed up the production of small primary energy converters after the war broke out.Because they did not directly send troops to participate in the war, the Jijing tribe had no reason to shirk, and successively started a number of production lines of small-scale original energy converters.In the era when Yu Qingyu commanded the human legion, the small original energy converters produced by the Jijing tribe exceeded the battle losses.

Obviously, the question is whether there are enough soldiers to use these small energy converters.

The Extreme Realm didn't participate in the battle, so naturally it wasn't the turn of the Extreme Realm warriors to use these small original energy converters.The combat effectiveness of the Bingyu Clan Legion is a big problem. Even if there are enough soldiers, it may not be able to become stronger.The wild beasts are limited by their own conditions, and there are not many individuals who possess the original body, only about one in a million, so there is not a great demand for small primary energy converters.

It can be said that the conditions of the Kunyang people are the most superior, almost all individuals have the original body.

The problem is that the population base of the Kunyang nationality is too small, and growth is a long process, and it is impossible to cultivate enough adult individuals in a short period of time.

This is an unavoidable problem, especially as the scale of the war expands and the hope of quick victory is getting smaller and smaller, the Kunyang people must find a solution.

At that time, the Kunyang people took three measures.One is to expand the scope of conscription within the ethnic group, and start recruiting outstanding personnel from outside the royal family to make up for the problems caused by the lack of members of the royal family.The second is to find an alternative method, that is, a method that can enable civilian soldiers to obtain strong combat effectiveness without a small-scale original energy converter, and the result is the original energy storage device.The third is to expand the population size for long-term planning.

Obviously, the key is the third measure.

Although the Kunyang people have introduced policies to encourage childbearing and lower the threshold for adulthood, in the short term, these policies have little effect.Under normal circumstances, it takes about 30 years for a Kunyang minor to become an adult, and even if the adult threshold is lowered, it will not be less than 20 years.If one considers the promotion speed of the policy, especially the degree of public acceptance, it will take at least 50 years for these birth-enhancing policies to take effect.

With no other choice, the Kunyang tribe started the cloning project.

It can be said that at that time, cloning was the only way to solve the shortage of soldiers in a short period of time.

However, clones are obviously not real Kunyang people, nor can they become real soldiers.Affected by this, the Kunyang people had to give up the policy of elite soldiers, that is, the soldiers no longer formed the legion, but the soldiers served as the officers of the legion, and the clone warriors served as ordinary soldiers.

Because of the serious battle attrition, the Kunyang clan's policy of elite soldiers could not be maintained.

Of course, the Kunyang people did not publicize this matter with great fanfare.

Quite simply, cloning intelligent life is a huge taboo, even in times of war.The key point is that cloned intelligent life is also intelligent life, which has its own needs and must have independent consciousness, but cannot be recognized and identified with itself like the naturally born intelligent life.If the cloning of intelligent life becomes popular, the first thing to be threatened is its body.It is also true that in the past thousands of years, many civilizations of the Galactic Federation are willing to develop intelligent programs to replace and improve the value of individuals, and will never adopt cloning technology.It can be said that if there is another way, the Kunyang tribe will not use clones to expand the legion.

Because it is an ulterior secret, the cloning bases of the Kunyang clan are all in the star system controlled by the royal family, and are directly managed by the royal family.As for the clone fighters who come out of these bases, after receiving simple training, they will all be incorporated into the Kunyang Clan Legion as ordinary soldiers.

Of course, this is no longer a secret, or an open secret.
