My empire of stars

"You have completed the physical transformation. Next, every ten people will form a team. Each team will elect its own team leader."

"From today on, each of your lives is no longer your own. Each of you is the most important property of the empire!"

"Your military rank will be unified from now on to major! The salary and benefits will be increased by two levels to be equivalent to that of colonel. Your relatives or loved ones will always be protected by the imperial government!"

"Congratulations, Spartans!" Eva stood in the center of the room and shouted to everyone.

Time flies. 2205 arrives in a blink of an eye.

The test ship of the Empire's latest model of warship has completed its final tests, which marks that the new warship is ready for official commissioning.

The empire's original battleships, except for the dreadnoughts and titans, have all taken a back seat, and they will be gradually replaced by the new Zeus-class battleships.

The replaced warships will be responsible for protecting various important nodes, and the subsequent battle with the Zerg will be mainly handed over to the Zeus-class warships.

Of course, these retreated warships have also replaced their weapons. The original beam weapons and kinetic energy weapons have all been replaced with crusher artillery.

The replaced weapons are stored in place and can be reactivated after the rules limiting the speed of light disappear.

The new Zeus-class battleship is only two thousand meters in length, two hundred meters in width, and three hundred meters in height. It is about the same size as the empire's original cruiser, and is even shortened by five hundred meters in length.

This also makes its construction speed almost the same as that of the original cruiser built by the Empire when it is not plated with dimensional armor!

According to the empire's construction capabilities, the empire will be able to build 400,000 of these new warships in the next fifteen years before the arrival of the Zerg.

However, among the 400,000 warships, only 1,500 can be plated with dimensional armor.

It's not that Li Mingze doesn't want to equip more warships with dimensional armor, but the cost of manufacturing dimensional armor is still too high. The number of dimensional armor used in manufacturing a hundred warships every year is already the limit.

These 1,500 warships equipped with dimensional armor will be evenly distributed among the empire's five major fleets, and each fleet can carry 300 dimensional armored versions of Zeus-class warships.

After the success of the experimental ship, all shipyards in the empire began to build Zeus-class battleships non-stop.

The new aircraft carrier has also completed its final design. In the final design draft, all carrier-based aircraft of the new aircraft carrier are suspended in the launch bay in advance.

Once a battle breaks out, these fighters can fly out from the launch ports on both sides of the aircraft carrier at the same time.

The recovery of fighter jets is through the deck in the middle of the aircraft carrier. After landing on the deck, the fighter jets will be pushed back into the launch bay by the drone.

The maintenance of these fighters is carried out by molecular robots, so there is no need to occupy valuable space on the ship to build maintenance rooms.

Once the fighter planes are exhausted, because it is a local battle, the empire's aircraft carrier can mobilize the empire's material transmission network at any time to continuously produce fighter planes!

But at this time, the high battle loss rate of fighter planes was placed in front of Li Mingze. The loss of each fighter plane meant that the empire lost a pilot!

This is something Li Mingze absolutely cannot bear. You must know that in the war he deduced, millions or even tens of millions of fighter planes will be lost in almost every battle!

If so many Imperial pilots died, his heart would bleed, and war-weariness would arise within the Empire!

Against this background, the human cloning project was quietly launched.

In a galaxy far away from civilization in the empire, a new cloning facility is being built under the supervision of Eva.

In order to prevent the death of too many soldiers from the Empire, Li Mingze decided to replace these Sith soldiers with clones.

These clones designed for war were not new humans created by the Empire's human-making facilities.

The reason why they are called clones is because these clones are different from new humans. It only takes a short month for them to take shape!

As soon as their brains are fully developed, memories will be forced into them, and various air combat skills will be instilled into the clones' brains at the same time.

These clones have no fear, no emotions, all they have is loyalty.

Therefore, the lifespan of these clones is very short, and their ultra-fast growth and forced memory infusion have seriously affected their lifespan!

Each clone only has a short life of three years after coming off the production line. After three years, they will die due to genetic collapse.

At the same time, they don't even have reproductive organs, so they can't reproduce, which cuts out the possibility of clone rebellion.

Although these clones have a lifespan of three years, it is likely that only a few clones can survive each battle.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for those who can survive for three years in the end. Even if they rebel, the empire only needs to stop the clone production line, and these clones will self-defeat after three years.

In addition to these clones, the empire's one hundred ace fighter pilots will also participate in the battle, but their treatment is obviously better than these clones. These ace pilots control the clone battles through consciousness descending devices.

Even if the fighter plane is destroyed, these aces can still put on a new body and continue to fight.

At this point, some people may say that Li Mingze is too cruel and inhumane for treating human clones as cannon fodder and consumables.

There is no way, only these efficient clones can give humans some advantages. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to train a driver from scratch. Even with the help of the game, once this group of elites dies in battle, the training of the next group will be difficult. It takes a very long time.

This war is related to the survival of the Sith people in the entire galaxy. Li Mingze will never risk the lives of hundreds of billions of people in the Sith Empire because of the Holy Mother.

As long as he can win this war, no matter how cruel, inhumane or insidious the means, Li Mingze will do it without hesitation!

If these clones prove to be efficient and reliable, Li Mingze even plans to replace the Imperial Marines with these clones.

After all, the cost of an emotionless clone is much cheaper than raising a soldier. The clone can live on only nutrient solution, but not the imperial soldiers. The empire even prepares various entertainment facilities for them to prevent them from mental problems!

In the Sith Empire Palace, Li Mingze was standing on the balcony looking blankly at the Sith star in the sky not far away.

"Your Majesty, do we need to announce things about the Zerg to the citizens?" Tianyi stood behind Li Mingze and hugged his waist and asked softly.

"No need, tell them now, they will bear too much pressure, just delay it for a while." Li Mingze shook his head gently, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
