People's Federation will live forever

Adults are a ready source of soldiers, especially those who have survived the war for more than ten years, can they have stronger combat effectiveness, and have a low level of education?Just brainwashing and instilling knowledge.Handicapped?Don't you forget that sentence - Brotherhood technology is number one in the world!Adding a prosthetic limb to the cyborg transformation is just a matter of effort.It doesn't take long for them to integrate into the Brotherhood's fighting system, and as for the old and weak, women and children...

They are not a burden, on the contrary, there are many things they can do except get safe shelter and food from the Brotherhood.The medical care system of the Brotherhood is almost zero, and having women take up this job is of great help to the morale of the soldiers. Besides, Li Deke has only cloned thousands of men, and there will definitely be more clones in the future. Now, there is only one woman, Olivia, in Nuo Da's base. For the sake of the future, I, the leader, must give wives to his subordinates, right?

The behavior of accepting and caring for the elderly can win the hearts of the Brotherhood in Sira, and implement its creed of "protecting human beings", which can also boost the morale of the soldiers.As for children, they are the greatest wealth. After education, children with a blank sheet of paper can easily develop a sense of trust in the brotherhood, and I will take care of their education and future, and become soldiers, scientists and engineers. The country has laid a solid foundation!

Li De told Wu Wei of his needs very directly, and made no secret of his arrangements for these people.The latter looked a little dignified, and then asked Li De very seriously: "I can't say that there is anything wrong with your arrangement. For these people, being alive is the greatest happiness...but you seem to want to control everything , have you considered their future freedom?"

"Freedom?" Li De was a little strange, "What freedom? If you mean the freedom of choice, then I have already given it to them."

As he said that, Li De raised his hand and projected a holographic image on his palm. On it was a bustling urban scene, with bright neon lights and people indulging in sensuality and luxury.Some people shout and embrace, pampered and pampered; some are servile and servile, struggling to survive.This is a portrayal of a peaceful age, Li De wanted to ask Wu Wei if this is what he called freedom?

As Li De closed his palms, this flashy glimpse was completely shattered and disappeared without a trace.He said to Wu Wei in a deep voice:

"To be or to be destroyed - I have given them the freedom to choose among them. Besides, what freedom can human beings have? General, don't you understand that those superficial Is freedom just an illusion brought about by peace? War can easily pierce this illusion. Since it is nothing more than an illusion, wouldn’t it be better for us to get straight to the essence and build a more real world?”

PS: I had a long discussion with my group of friends yesterday, and it turns out that people are the most important thing.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

How many people are left in Sira?

After 14 years of war, Wei'an has retreated to the Jasintu plateau with all his strength. According to Bader, there are still 50 hungry civilians struggling to survive.After the incident, the security government lost almost all of its grain production areas and industrial centers. The center of the capital could only produce some helicopters and light infantry vehicles. They relied on the powerful Hammer of Dawn to hold the high ground.But even so, people who are hungry sometimes have to take desperate risks to leave the "safe" military area and go wandering. Hunger is far more terrifying than orcs.

For the Brotherhood, the security government is the enemy, and it is imperative to swallow the biggest piece of fat in Sira, but Li De decided to take measures later.On the land of Sira, among the dilapidated ruins, there are many refugee camps lingering in the shadow of orcs, just like Wu Wei's camp, Li De will take measures to gather these people, no matter how talented they are, he has plenty of ways Let them do their job.

Wu Wei shrugged, admitting it.He was just trying to test Li De's plan. Since the Brotherhood will ignore human lives, then a tyrannical authoritarian government is better than anarchy, military control?He is very familiar.

"Let me see what kind of future you can create."

This sentence is both doubt and expectation.According to the previous agreement, Wu Wei will use technical assistance in exchange for his subordinate's position in the Brotherhood, but Li De obviously does not intend to let this visitor from another world be a spectator.

Breaking through the invisible position, the plane is about to land, and a busy but orderly base appears in front of everyone.The industrial drones flying all over the sky attracted Wu Wei's attention, and for Padek and Sophia, these towering steel buildings were simply miracles, especially when Li De said that it only took four days to build, Their minds are already dizzy.

"Who are you?"

This question has already annoyed Li De. When the iron-backed transport plane lowered the suspended Holy Spirit mecha under the powerful engine according to the instructions of the ground crew, and then landed slowly, the sun had just emerged from the horizon.

The hatch opened, and Li De got off the plane first, followed by the rest of them like guards.At this moment Li De suddenly remembered something, he turned around and asked a few people——

"When was the last time you ate?"

This question made several people puzzled, Wu Wei spread his hands: "I don't need to eat for a week."

Bud and the others were very consistent: "I haven't eaten all night, I'm starving to death!"

"Before I leave, I'll treat you to a meal." Li De snapped his fingers, and said to Wu Wei and his party, "Come with me, and go see how your friends are doing!"

......

"The patellas of both legs were completely blown away by the artillery? The incision was smooth and the treatment was good. Was it done by your comrade?"

A two-body four-story simple building was put into use as a hospital just after it was completed. Right now, all the wounded in the battle are concentrated here, and it seems a little crowded.Many hospital beds can only be temporarily placed in the corridors, and the saboteurs who temporarily serve as doctors walk through the corridors in twos and threes to make medical appraisals for the injured.Fortunately, each saboteur is equipped with a multi-functional robotic arm newly designed by Dr. Ensger, and drones as an aid, otherwise such a small number of manpower is simply not enough to take care of all the wounded.

For those who participated in the war, death is just the simplest ending, and more is to end their service life with a disabled body. Maybe they get a medal of honor, and maybe they have a fortune when they meet a good government. Generous pensions can sustain future livelihoods, but fundamentally speaking, peacetime can still be maintained, but more than [-] people will be disabled after a full-scale war. Which organization can bear such a huge crowd?

These soldiers sacrificed everything for little and were often alone for the rest of their lives.War is cruel, and it is not as bloody as imagined. Now Li De, a meat eater, is facing the same problem. He has to answer whether these soldiers are pawns that can be discarded at will.

Fortunately, the answer has long been determined.

Miles clutched the bed sheet tightly with both hands. The pain from the wound made him sweat profusely. He gritted his teeth and struggled to support himself. The snow-white bed sheet was grabbed into rags, and the vandals who watched sighed. In one breath: "Why are you bothering, monk? Refusing to take anesthesia will not do any good, the pain will damage your nerves, and excessive adrenaline secretion will even..."

"No..." Although his lips were chapped and bleeding, his throat was hoarse like a tattered bellows, and every breath seemed to be burning like a fire, Miles still firmly refused—"I want to remember this pain...my mentor ...Martyred, I cannot allow myself to lie comfortably on the hospital bed, this is the test I have given myself."

"My God, are these black hands human?" A steel claw soldier who was walking by accidentally saw this scene. He was obviously slightly injured with bandages on his hands. He shook his head, "This What exactly is it drawing?"

At this time, the comrades next to him patted him: "Don't gossip here, they pay the most and sacrifice the most."

"I know! I didn't chew my tongue, I just don't understand..." the soldier said, suddenly, a cold and pleasant voice came from behind them, like an ice edge in summer, causing the backs of the two to rise Chill.

"The fighters of the Black Hand just know what they are fighting for, and know..." The voice paused for a while, and then the two soldiers turned their heads, only to see a tall woman behind them.She was stepping on high heels and wearing a blood-stained leather jacket. She just took off the hood at this moment, revealing her silvery hair.

Even though I've never seen it before, I guess I know who it is.The two soldiers quickly stood at attention, watching their noses, noses, and hearts, not daring to look away at all.General Olivia seemed to have an icy aura that made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts, and the temperature in the entire hospital seemed to have dropped a bit.

The high heels stepped lightly and powerfully on the floor of the medical center, and Olivia continued to walk forward as if she didn't even notice the two soldiers.She walked to Miles' hospital bed before continuing: "And they know that in order to achieve this goal, they must be invulnerable on every level. Pain is nothing but a true lie."

"General." Miles struggled to get up, but was held down by Olivia.Of course, the general didn't come to comfort the wounded with a smile on his face. In fact, the one who could see her smile was no longer a human being.She inspected Miles' wound, then asked the saboteur—

"How long will it take to recover?"

PS: late, and

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"It's really an issue in terms of timing."

The saboteur replied frankly, his mechanical arm poked a little bit on the LCD screen, and a string of data flowed through. Whenever he talked about any technical problems, the saboteur would be very excited. This is undoubtedly inherited from the Ensig.He almost danced and said——

"In terms of local cloning, we already have a very mature technology. It is not a very troublesome thing to grow and transplant human organs through genetically modified organisms, but in fact it is of no help to this monk, because not only is it a long period, but also Limited to a few isolated organs. Whole body cloning is required for complete legs... Oh! General, you know, the leader has strict prohibitions in this regard..."

"Get to the point!" Olivia emphasized her tone. The other party's performance was too much like Ensig's, even though they were originally a group of degraded clones.Olivia pinched the stainless steel guardrail with her fingers, and the metal creaked under pressure. She was very impatient.

"What about the immediate solution?!"

"Uh... this, I recommend bioprinting plus synthetic materials!" The saboteur changed the subject and enthusiastically introduced the alternative.Print a bionic prosthesis with artificial protein material, it will be able to fuse with the wound without rejection, once the artificial electronic nerve bundle is connected, the leg will be able to realize all the functions of the original, without any hindrance.

It seems that the problem can be solved perfectly, not only perfectly, but also very quickly!Not only Miles, but the eyes of the surrounding soldiers lit up. At this moment, the advanced medical technology of the Brotherhood burst into dazzling light. As soon as the news came out, the wounded soldiers who were still in a low mood cheered enthusiastically. Get up—even the most loyal fighters have to consider some practical issues, and now that they know that the worst results can be overcome, their morale has suddenly become high!

Olivia was delighted at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she realized that it was not that simple—this is not cyborg technology in the traditional sense, nor is it the kind of exoskeleton-style fusion of cold steel and flesh, but something more Further bionics.This reminded her of her own resurrection, the same fusion of flesh and machinery, all derived from the project called "Lazarus", these technologies all came from the leader's intelligent control army...

That's right, the leader put all his resources into the construction of the black hand and the standing army, but he had no plans for the intelligent control legion that really belonged directly to him.I have always been very satisfied with letting Black Hand be the leader of the guards, but how could I forget that among the three major military forces of the Brotherhood, the Cyborg Legion, which may be the most powerful, has never had any news?Do leaders really do nothing?

Looking at the technical illustrations displayed by the saboteur, Olivia was distracted—what was she afraid of? Was she worried that another person like herself would replace her?She secretly blamed herself.Thinking gives rise to doubts. Instead of guessing here, it is better to ask the leader directly.

"Brother Miles." Olivia slowed down her voice to appease the young apostle, "Your mentor recommended you to the congregation, and your courage and motivation have been unanimously approved by the council and have been approved by the council." My approval, after you recover, you can learn the black hand's course."

"General, I'm still far behind, I..."

"You don't have to worry about anything, your performance is obvious to all." With that said, Olivia turned and faced everyone here, whether it was the apostle or the steel claw.

"Soldiers, just an hour ago, we achieved a victory, the first victory in this new world! It is destined to go down in the history of mankind, and I am lucky to share this victory with you brave warriors glory."

"I know there are too many entanglements in our past, but let it all pass away with the wind. Whether it is the Black Hand or the soldiers of the Global Defense Organization, we are all brothers and sisters here, regardless of each other. We will cross together We've been through a lot, and there will be more to come, but you and I are united, and in the name of the Brotherhood, we will be invincible!"

...

The cafeteria of the fraternity seems to be different from what they imagined.Although there are also rows of tables and chairs, there is no lively queuing scene. In fact, the meals of the soldiers are settled in the barracks. This is a new facility set up for civilian resettlement.Not only that, adding residences to the base's already relatively dense environment can only be set up at a minimum. Right now, refugees who have undergone quarantine work are gathering here.They were very overwhelmed by the unmanned management. Here, two soldiers in particular were teaching them how to use the distribution machine.

Just an hour ago, they were worried that they would not have another meal after eating this meal. Refugees who lived on simple fish and collection, now they are holding a plate full of food, and they can’t believe it like a dream. The facts at hand.

Of course Li De didn't need to eat, but his soldiers were only mortals, and daily diet was an important way to ensure combat effectiveness. Napoleon said that soldiers marched on their stomachs, even if they were as advanced as the Brotherhood, they couldn't avoid it.In this regard, Li De-handed over to the host to deal with it. Now it seems that the artificial intelligence only provides the question of availability, and the others are far from as good as hoped.

"It seems that we have no choice." Wu Wei joked as he looked at the simple ratios on the dispenser, "I'm not looking forward to a big meal, but you're all synthetic food here, right?"

Li De shrugged, expressing helplessness.The resources of the Brotherhood must first ensure the supply of weapons and equipment, not to mention that the base has only been established for a few days.food?You can't expect Li De to have the heart to reclaim dozens of acres of fertile land to grow food, right?There is no farming or canning. All the food here highlights a sense of technology and is monotonous.

Nutrient paste, synthetic meat, just from the name, you can tell the feeling of high technology, but when you really hold a plate of white cubes and high-temperature grilled meat, it looks a little flesh-colored but you don’t know what it is you'd rather dig wild vegetables.These foods synthesized by organic matter separated from Tiberium mineral processing have absolute nutritional value, but in terms of taste, it can only be said...

"At least it's better than drinking mushroom soup for several months." Bud and the others said nonchalantly, picking up a plate beside them and feasting on it.Wu Wei took a sip, and then called Pedek and his wife to sit down. At this moment, their movements caught the attention of the refugees on the side.

"The leader, the leader!"

In the corner of the restaurant farther away, a man and a woman sat facing each other at a table, and it was the No. [-] clone and Aisha.The avatar Li De watched with a smile on his face as the girl clumsily tore off a piece of artificial meat with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth, and almost choked because she ate too fast.He fetched a glass of warm water from the side and handed it to the girl.

The girl blushed immediately. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li De. Her blond hair hung down to cover her face, and she took the water glass from Li De's hand with some embarrassment.

"That..." Aisha whispered, which attracted Li De's attention, but the girl hesitated for a while, and hesitated for a long time before speaking——

"Mr. Li De, when are you going to pick up Sister Anna, I think Sister Anna likes you very much."

Then, the girl plucked up the courage to raise her head, her bright eyes met Li De's astonished expression, and she said seriously: "Do you like Sister Anna too?"

PS: In the future, I will distinguish the avatar from the main body, and even change the name and take a different route.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Begin the first round of testing."

At a corner of the base near the mining area, a high wall blocks everything around it.This is the No. [-] test range of the Brotherhood. At first glance, it looks like a piece of sandy land that has been fenced off and Tiberium has been harvested. It can only be used under ideal circumstances, so this technology can be said to be unsuccessful.

On this day, Dr. Ensger came to the scene in person, bringing a large number of cyber saboteurs also wearing black cloaks.The instrument has been set up, the target, the sensing device and the recording instrument are in place one after another. In the test field with a length and width of [-] and an area of ​​[-] square meters, a crane slowly drives in, and puts down a strange-looking machine at the predetermined position. , a device like a fixed fort.It's tall, it's like a Scorpion tank with two layers superimposed on top and bottom, eight support frames are buried deep in the soil, and a cannon barrel full of pipelines is carried on the disc-shaped body - the caliber is disproportionate and very thick It is too short to be called a barrel device.The experimental prototype had no armor attached, and was "too immature compared to the GDI-style Smasher."

This is Ensig's evaluation.Thanks to the "resonance crystal" obtained from Sira's native land, the Brotherhood can bypass the GDI's airtight seal and make a powerful sonic weapon one step ahead.Although there are technical data cracked by the Watcher to allow Ensig to speed up his work progress, but the nature of the crystal material is different, so many original designs have to be overthrown and redone, which is why the sonic weapon was not put into the battlefield in the previous battle s reason.

"Smasher II, the first phase of testing, filling the core."

A saboteur opened the tightly wrapped box and took out a cylindrical solid object—the resonant crystal must keep its surface spotless in order to achieve the best energy conversion efficiency.With manual loading into the vehicle, the high-power battery under the gun barrel began to be wired and charged.

Ensger issued an order: "Start with 30.00%, test the target, concrete building."

"The power is concentrated in the gamma hub, the pulse frequency is 0.00...045, and the effect of the crystal has appeared..."

"Fire!"

The prototype vibrated violently on the spot, and there seemed to be waves in the air, like a visual error, but nothing happened.After a delay, a series of "buzzing" noises sounded on the test site. It was the sand and soil between the concrete pile used as the target and the muzzle jumping, and a hundred meters away, the solid concrete pile The outer shell has been cracked, and the cement and bricks have turned into prototype sand and gravel, which is blown away by the wind.

Sound waves are not specific physical units like electromagnetic waves, but a physical phenomenon whose essence is resonance.The phenomenon of high-frequency resonance destroys the structure of matter and promotes its disintegration. The use of this phenomenon in the military field has always been desired by commanders.But the sound wave itself has great limitations, that is, the range of transmission cannot be controlled, and it is a surface killing, and there is no IFF recognition.Once the sonic weapon is put on the battlefield, it will strike regardless of whether it is the enemy or the enemy. It can only be used as the spearhead of the attack instead of providing support to the troops.

But once it is put into the battlefield, there are many obstacles in the complex environment of the battlefield and the high-standard requirements for the use of sound wave equipment. Historically, GDI's sound wave devices have been used as fixed defense points. It is not easy for the Brotherhood to overcome this technical problem.But the enemies the base now faces make sonic weapons necessary—for one, the orcs have no way of threatening the equipment.Second, the surface-to-face sound waves can effectively deal with crowds, and they are also powerful fortification destroyers. For example, it is not a problem to destroy a few tunnels.

"Check the damage effect... 150 meters range, the damage to concrete is 500mm!"

After a round of firing, the prototype needs to be recharged.This time the target was changed to the upper body of a giant dragon beast. This monster was the Ulenka mount that Olivia beheaded. In order to maximize the power of the verification weapon, the engineers also covered the corpse with a layer of armor, which looked like A giant humanoid tank.

"I doubt that such an effect is purely a waste of material." A saboteur said while verifying the data, "Not to mention the steel plate of non-compressive material, even if it is thickened to one meter, the shock wave can still destroy the iron shell. Flesh on the inside turned to slime. What's the point of having such a goal if even a composite tank can't stand against it?"

"This is the most possible target given the technology the enemy possesses. The technology in this world is not worth mentioning, but it does not prevent us from further investigation. You can simultaneously record the damage effect of sound waves on metals and organic organisms, and evaluate the energy attenuation speed."

Ensge stopped his subordinates from complaining, and the experiment entered the second stage.This time, the sonic cannon was charged for ten seconds, and its energy index reached 70.00%.Following the ignition command, an air wave that is almost visible to the naked eye erupts, starting from the muzzle, the sand on the test site surges like sea water, and a fan-shaped mud wave (artistic effect is only shown in 2333) is captured. The energy wave pushed away, digging a chasm as deep as one meter!And the dead body target at the target heard the sound of bending caused by metal fatigue, and the armor covering the face of the giant dragon beast deformed and disintegrated, twisting like dough squeezed by hands.And after that, a sticky bright red liquid flowed out from the metal—just as they judged, the tissue under the metal was melted into a mass of flesh and blood by energy.

However, 70.00% of the energy can tear apart the most powerful war machine in the world. Although it is expected, the destroyers still have a sense of pride that they have completed their mission.Ensig was very satisfied, and when he was about to order the next test, the sensor sent an alarm!

"The core is disintegrating... No, it's going to explode!"

"boom!"

The resonant crystal inside the prototype machine seemed to have reached its limit. After an imperceptible cracking sound, it disintegrated layer by layer inside the machine. The energy originally used to maintain stability suddenly lost control, and the short circuit of the battery pack caused a circuit fire.The moment the alarm sounded, the prototype exploded from the inside—the unrestrained sonic energy released by the disintegration of the core swept across the test site, destroying the surrounding walls together!

The research platform was twisted into scrap iron by the scurrying energy in the roar. Ensig quickly seized the opportunity to activate multiple ceramic barriers in front of him to protect himself, but the other destroyers were not so lucky. It was shaken into mud before it was sent out.

Test field, all destroyed!

The four ceramic plates were all turned into powder, but at least Ensig himself was saved. For a moment, he uploaded his consciousness back to the laboratory, which will be sent back. Looking at the tragic situation around him, he spread out the four mechanical Arm sighed:

"It's time to replenish the research unit, but fortunately the experimental data has been preserved."

As he said that, he called another engineering unit to clean up the site, and then pondered the cause of the failure by himself—"The calculation of the crystal ratio was wrong? The energy conversion rate is too high and not pure enough? Shouldn't it be more conservative? GDI's database for comparison?"

Massive data flowed through his mind, and Ensger rejected most of the plans.There was nothing he could do about the failure of the experiment, so he had no choice but to call Li De on the Internet:

"The facilities at this base are no longer convenient for further research...Leader, I need a complete scientific research center."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The news of the failure of the sound wave experiment did not surprise Li De. A prototype machine made according to the gourd drawing plan itself cannot be said to be very reliable, but the loss caused by the destruction exceeded expectations-according to Ensig's judgment, the crystal The proportion of the structure needs to be adjusted, and it is best to match it with mature technology, but that is a huge project, and the existing factory and MCV cannot manufacture more sophisticated instruments for testing.

Ensig requested permission to move the experiment site to the second base, and Li De did not object, but there was still a technical problem—the southern archipelago went through two days of construction, and the troops sent to survey the local terrain And set up a temporary camp.However, it is more than 2000 kilometers away, and without the support of MCV, the progress of air transportation alone is slow. Without Li De's command and sufficient engineering equipment, the crane system cannot completely replace the function of MCV, and Tiberium cannot be easily released without control facilities. Ya, all of this has resulted in the archipelago base being currently unusable.

Transferring the work center to the archipelago base is an established policy, and the function of the main base as a transitional stage has been brought to the extreme, which inevitably requires the transfer of the MCV. More than 2000 kilometers, it is unrealistic for an MCV with a speed of 40 kilometers per hour to go all the way, and an aircraft that can move thousands of tons does not exist.Therefore, a large-scale expedition is tensely prepared in the base after the battle.

"The archipelago base can only rely on itself at the moment. For our plan, the main base will need to persist for a while. This will serve as a transit point for the population and a nail to attract the attention of the orcs and the security government."

Back inside the MCV, while a certain avatar was taking action, Li De, the main body, was sitting at the conference table signing electronic documents one after another—because of the refugees, the brotherhood’s administrative system was being established.Different from the traditional bureaucratic system, the powerful information network established by the mainframe has integrated all the resources of the base. There is no need for public servants to transfer between the upper and middle administrative systems, and it is directly implemented at the lowest level for execution.To this end, he needs to compile a whole set of administrative procedures and develop corresponding software to pair them into a system, and add some humanized UI interface design.From planning to program art all by one person, fortunately with the powerful computing support of the mainframe, and the number of civilians in the base is less than [-], the requirements are not complicated.However, as the population increases in the future, the administrative system will also need to be continuously improved, and eventually an automatically managed society will be created.

Li De has commanded legions and seen countless battles. He knows how to build a powerful army, but it is also the first time for him how to build an efficient national system.Judicial, administrative, economic, and military, as the four pillars that are indispensable to a national system, now he only has two, and all of them are based on the military.If there is anything correct in Wu Wei's comment, it is that he controls too much, and it may be the most rigorous national system in history.This country is not built on nationality and ideas, but out of necessity and out of his own will.

But what's wrong with that?This world is so cruel, human beings need a solid fortress to protect themselves, and these hopeless people urgently need his leadership, but what does it matter what kind of society he conceived?
