Chapter 500: The Returning Lightning Marten
"Whoosh...... Boom ......" Soldiers with particle guns under the cover of their chariots launch a fierce charge towards the positions defended by the robots. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the sky, ground support vehicles flying at an altitude of less than 100 meters use airborne particle cannons to bombard the positions defended by the robots with precision.
On the ground, the Knights' formations formed a tight formation between each formation and each squad to keep advancing. Air-ground integration, infantry and armored corps, coordinated maneuvers between infantry squads...... Every training result made the officers present smile with satisfaction.
This is the second live-fire exercise in the five months of assault training. During the exercise, except for the laser weapons used by the robots, the particle guns in the hands of the soldiers and the particle cannons fired by armored combat vehicles were all real people. At the beginning of the first exercise, there was an incident of accidental injury, but the situation was significantly better during the second exercise.
A month ago, the mind reader had been manufactured, and after washing that poor spy into an idiot, information about the Three-God Divine Sect began to be presented in detail in front of Cheng Mingli and others. Accepting this information for the first time really scared Cheng Mingli and the others a lot, but fortunately, the beheading plan formulated by the church was not implemented before, otherwise they would have to poke a big basket.
In the Fifth Region alone, there are more than 5,200 principalities under the name of the Church, although the strength of each principality is very different, and the small ones are not even as strong as a single institution. But just in terms of quantity, it is already an exaggerated level.
The number of principalities and empires in the fifth region will probably not exceed 10,000. If Cheng Mingli and the church fight with real guns, it will not be considered a victory or defeat, and this scale alone can make the entire Fifth District into a mess. For the sake of prudence, the activities of the 'private custom' venture capital group in the fourth district have become much more low-key during this period of time, and there is a bit of a muffled sense of making a fortune.
During this period, the church did not make any unusual moves, but once the representatives of the church rushed to the "private custom" store to contact, and they were directly turned to the direction of the investigation by Cheng Mingli to the side of the Purple Chime Flower Principality. Those old guys just want to take benefits from the advance fleet, and they don't want to contribute, and it is one of the tasks of these politicians to give Cheng Mingli to them.
"With the Purple Chime Flower Knights, we now have more than 100,000 people in our hands, right?" Cheng Mingli is very satisfied with the scale of the current development, and these are all elite soldiers, and there is no such lazy soldier.
"If we add up all the troops in the dozen or so educational institutions that we have infiltrated, the number is more than that, and I am afraid that this number will rise to more than 300,000 before the start of the Crescent War," replied Lu Biaofei, who knew the situation best.
"Try to find as many people as possible, the equipment produced by the little turtle can fully meet the needs of tens of millions of people to fight, and 300,000 people are not even enough to plug their teeth" Li Merson was not very satisfied with this number.
"Then we have to expand to other neighborhoods, and the fourth neighborhood is already saturated. It's not just us recruiting, all principalities are constantly recruiting new people, and it's difficult for us to find excellent candidates and huge clubs like before," Lu Biaofei reported with a bitter face.
"Then go ahead and expand the scope to the entire Fifth District, and even the Fourth, Third and Sixth Districts, and the Seventh District," Li Merson said in a bold tone that stood and spoke without backache.
"Take the time to connect all the candidates, and there are some things that are time for them to know. For this graduation ceremony, I hope that all of our troops will be able to act together, so that even if anything happens, there will be no huge losses.
And I think we should go to a place like the 10th district that is not affected by the church or has less influence, even if we can't take everyone away, but these people under our command should be rescued one by one" Cheng Mingli's topic alleviated Lu Biaofei's embarrassment in time.
"But in this way, our population is very small," said Zhu Liheng, who had been silent.
"Populations can be attracted by later periods, and in Dyson tradition, every Crescent War is followed by a massive wave of immigration. Countless people poured from the old principality and the schools into the new one. As long as we make a name for ourselves, the rest should not be a problem. The most important thing we should do at the moment is ......" Cheng Mingli was about to continue, but was interrupted by a message from the command center.
"What's wrong?" Li Merson, who was listening with his ears sideways, asked suspiciously.
"The reconnaissance team sent out is back, a month earlier than expected," Cheng Mingli wondered. According to the original estimate, Yun and He should be able to complete all the reconnaissance three months after departure, and this is still if everything goes well, otherwise they may not be able to come back.
"It's good to let the instructors below watch the drill, let's go back and see what they have gained from wandering outside for two months" Cheng Mingli took the lead in walking to the vehicle heading to the base, and behind him, people with enough authority also followed.
When Cheng Mingli arrived at the base, the data analysis had been carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Ming Cang. This time the data is much smaller than the last time. The vast majority of space is an empty vacuum. Therefore, the data is more about the distribution of asteroid belts and the complex electromagnetic environment.
"What about them?" Cheng Mingli glanced at the airborne superbrain that was being read, and asked Mingcan, who was busy.
"I've gone back to rest, and I've read their mission briefings in detail. The mission went well, the situation we imagined did not exist, and they did not encounter any danger. Not only that, but they didn't even see a shadow of the celestial people. I also think it's weird, because if there was nothing in space, it would be impossible for our probes to be destroyed, and nothing happened to them," Ming Cang said.
"Could it be that they have been discovered by the enemy, and the reason why they didn't eliminate them immediately is just to cast a long line to catch big fish and find our location along the way?" Li Merson felt that this was a real possibility, at least if he was in the enemy's position.
"The semi-intelligent assistant programs equipped on the Lightning Marten are no different from the Tanuki series detectors, and if the enemy wants to do this, it is completely possible to track the unmanned Tanuki series detectors instead of destroying them. Moreover, according to our preset conditions, if the program senses a tracking signal, the assault ship will explode in mid-air" Ming Cang decisively refuted this view.
"So what?"
"So I think the most plausible explanation is that the Celestial people are programmed to set an order not to massacre the Dyson except during the Crescent War, because the presence of the Dyson people was detected, and the Celestial Stars hidden in space did not kill them. This is the most reasonable speculation, because if it weren't for this, the Celestial people would definitely slaughter the Dyson people all the time, and in this way, the humans in this world would have been wiped out long ago.
In my opinion, it is not the goal of the Cone to design the Celestial people to come out and slaughter the Dyson people, their fundamental purpose is to stimulate the technological development of the Dyson people through the means of war, and at the same time limit the population of the Dyson people to a certain level, so as to avoid the Dyson world falling into an energy and ecological crisis due to the population explosion" (to be continued. )
