"You've completed the transformation of your body, and then every team of ten people will be in a squad, and each squad will elect its own team leader."

"From this day forward, the life of each of you is no longer your own, and each of you is the most important property of the Empire!"

"Your military rank will be unified as Major in the future! The salary will be raised by two levels to be equivalent to that of a colonel, and your loved ones will always be protected by the Imperial Government! ”

"Congratulations, Spartan warriors!" Eva stood in the middle of the room and shouted to the crowd.

Time flies... The year 2205 is fast approaching.

The final tests of the Empire's newest model have been completed, marking the start of the new ship.

The Empire's original warships, with the exception of the Dreadnoughts and Titans, will be gradually replaced by new warships, Zeus-class warships.

The replaced ships will be fully responsible for defending the important nodes, and the next battle with the Zerg will be mainly handed over to Zeus-class warships.

Of course, these relegated warships have also been replaced, and the original beam weapons and kinetic weapons have all been replaced with Smasher cannons.

Replaced weapons are stored in situ and reactivated when the rules limiting the speed of light disappear.

The new Zeus-class battleship was only two thousand meters long, two hundred meters wide, and three hundred meters high, which was about the same size as the original cruisers of the Empire, and even shortened in length by 500 meters.

This also makes it build at the same speed as the Empire's original cruiser when it is not plated with dimensional armor!

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

However, among these 400,000 warships, only 1,500 can be coated with dimensional armor.

It's not that Li Mingze doesn't want to equip more warships with dimensional armor, but now the manufacturing cost of dimensional armor is still too great, and the dimensional armor used to make a hundred warships a year is already the limit.

The 1,500 ships equipped with dimensional armor will be evenly distributed among the Empire's five fleets, each of which will be able to carry 300 Zeus-class ships with dimensional armor.

After the success of the experimental ship, all the shipyards of the empire began to build Zeus-class warships without stopping.

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

In the event of a fight, these fighters will be able to fly out simultaneously from the launch ports on both sides of the carrier.

The recovery of the fighter is through the middle deck of the aircraft carrier, and after the fighter lands on the deck, it will be re-propelled into the launch compartment 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 fighters are exhausted, because it is a local operation, the Empire's aircraft carriers can mobilize the Empire's material transmission network at any time to continuously produce fighters!

But at this time, the high battle loss rate of fighters was placed in front of Li Mingze again, and the loss of each fighter meant that the empire lost a pilot!

This is absolutely unbearable for Li Mingze, you must know that in the war he deduced, almost every battle will lose millions or even tens of millions of fighters!

If so many Imperial drivers die, his heart will drip blood, and there will be war weariness in the Empire!

In this context, the human cloning project quietly began.

In a galaxy far from civilization within the Empire, a new cloning facility is being built under Eva's supervision.

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

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

They are called clones because these clones are different from new humans, and it only takes a short month for them to take shape!

As soon as their brains are fully developed, they will be forcibly infused with memories, and all kinds of air combat skills will be instilled into the clones' brains at the same time.

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

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

Each clone has only three years to live after leaving the production line, and 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 isolates the possibility of mutiny among the clones.

Although these clones have a lifespan of three years, there is a high probability that very few clones survive each battle.

So in the end, it is almost impossible to live for three years, even if they mutiny, the empire only needs to stop the clone production line, and after three years, these clones will be self-defeating.

In addition to these clones, a hundred of the Empire's ace pilots will also participate in the battle, but they are obviously treated better than these clones, and these ace pilots control the clones through the Advent device.

Even if the fighter plane is destroyed, these aces can change into a body and continue to participate in the battle.

Speaking of which, some people may say that Li Mingze is too cruel and inhumane, and even regards clones as cannon fodder tools and consumables.

There is no way, only these efficient clones can give humans a slight advantage, otherwise it is too difficult to train a pilot from scratch, even with the help of the game, once this group of elites dies in battle, the training of the next batch will take a very long time.

This war is related to the survival of the Sith people in the entire galaxy, and Li Mingze will definitely not risk the lives of hundreds of billions of people in the Holy Mother Nassi Empire.

As long as he can win this war, no matter how cruel, inhumane, and insidious the means are, Li Mingze will not hesitate to do it!

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

After all, a clone without emotion can save much more than raising a soldier, the clone can only eat nutrient solution for a living, but the Imperial soldiers cannot, and the Empire even has to prepare various entertainment facilities for them to prevent them from having mental problems!

In the palace of the Sith Empire, Li Mingze was standing on the balcony looking at the Sith Star in the sky not far away.

"Your Majesty, do we need to announce anything about the Zerg to the citizens?" Tianyi stood behind Li Mingze, hugged his waist, and asked in a low voice.

"No, now tell them that they're going to be under too much pressure, and put it off a little longer." Li Mingze shook his head slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
