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. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause the battle went relatively smoothly and there was not much pressure, plus the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan were very active and shared a lot of tasks, the Kunyang Clan was able to adhere to the elite army policy in the early stage of the war, and the standing army of the Kunyang Clan was enough to cope with the tasks undertaken.

By the time of Yu Qingyu, the situation was not so ideal.

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

After surviving the difficult times in the early days of the war, the Human Federation began to exert its strength, and Yu Qingyu also appeared on the stage of history at this time. After completing the all-out war mobilization, the Human Federation first expanded the front, that is, by extending the battle line to weaken the opponent's troop density, so that the Kunyang clan, the beast clan and the military domain clan who had not yet completed the all-out war mobilization could not rely on their limited forces to make a major breakthrough. Next, the defensive strategy proposed and adopted by Yu Qingyu weakened the advantage of the attacker to a large extent and made up for the lack of overall strength of the Human Federation. As a result, the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Soldier Domain Clan all had the problem of insufficient troops.

If before this, the Kunyang Clan could still rely on the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan, then with the extension of the battle line and the Human Federation's adoption of the Great Defense in Depth strategy, the Kunyang Clan could no longer avoid its own problems when the strength of the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan also had problems.

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

During this period, the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Soldier Domain Clan were all putting pressure on the Extreme Realm Clan, asking the Extreme Realm Clan to send troops to participate in the war.

However, the Extreme Realm Clan did not compromise, but refused to send troops on the grounds that Queen Kangsheng had just ascended the throne and the contradictions within the clan had not been completely resolved, but only promised to provide more support, such as sending legions and fleets to take on the task of guarding logistics supply lines.

Obviously, the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Soldier Domain Clan still have to rely on their own strength to solve the problem of insufficient troops in the end.

It was also during this period that the Soldier Clan Legion began to participate in front-line battles. It's a pity that after a few battles, the poor performance of the Soldier Clan Legion disappointed everyone. There is nothing wrong with letting the Soldier Clan Legion control the occupied star system, but it is a big problem to let the Soldier Clan Legion go against the Human Legion. At that time, several attacks led by the Soldier Domain Clan Legion all ended in disastrous failures, not only did not reduce the burden of the Kunyang Clan and the Beast Clan Legion, but in the end, the Kunyang Clan Legion came forward to clean up the mess. It can be said that if it weren't for the Kunyang Clan's preparations, and if they didn't believe that the Soldier Domain Clan Legion could change the situation, the consequences would be very serious.

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

Quite simply, the advantage of the Beast Clan is the size of the force. Of the four second-rate civilizations, only the Beasts maintained a large enough standing army in peacetime and were able to rapidly expand their forces in wartime. On the battlefield, the Beast Clan's combat effectiveness is also very strong, as long as there are the right conditions, it can sweep almost everything. The problem is that the Beast Legion is not capable of fighting alone, especially against the Human Legion. The point is that the human legion is best at defense, as long as a strong fortress is built, it can often be used to block a hundred. In the face of the Beast Clan's legions, the human legions' defensive strength can be brought into full play. Quite simply, the Beast Legion has only numerical superiority, and the human Legion's defensive tactics are particularly well suited to fighting an enemy who has a numerical superiority. It is precisely because of this that on most battlefields, the Berserk Clan Legion can only achieve victory with the assistance of the Kunyang Clan, or rather, the Berserk Beast Clan Legion assists the Kunyang Clan. Normally, the first thing to do is to charge the Beast Legion, draining the firepower and strength of the Human Legion. After the Berserk Legion opened a breakthrough in the human legion's defensive line, the elite soldiers of the Kunyang Legion entered the battle, tearing apart the human legion's defensive line from the breach, forcing the human legion to retreat, or dividing and annihilating the human legion.

Obviously, the Kunyang Legion is the absolute main force and plays the role of the mainstay.

In other words, even if the Beast Clan was able to expand its forces in time, without the cooperation and support of the Kunyang Clan's legion, it would not be able to change the tide of the battle.

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

At that time, the biggest problem was not the production of small original energy converters, but the soldiers.

Don't forget, for the past few thousand years, the four second-rate top-tier civilizations have always been threatened by three first-rate top-tier civilizations, and they may be attacked at any time. In order to survive and develop, the four second-rate top civilizations have never let their guard down 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 primordial crystals used to make small origin energy converters, and most of them were concentrated in the hands of the Kunyang clan. Don't forget, only the Kunyang clan has the Hallow. Although limited by various factors, especially the limited population size, the Kunyang tribe does not have the ability to produce small primordial energy converters on a large scale, but in order to protect their own interests and confront the three first-class top civilizations, the Kunyang tribe has always controlled the production and supply chain of the original crystal. To put it simply, the other three second-rate top-level civilizations could only obtain the primordial crystals provided by the Kunyang clan when they needed them, and most of the time they obtained them by purchasing them. Even the Extreme Realm Clan will not be able to obtain additional Primordial Crystals unless they are specifically needed.

Over thousands of years, the Kunyang clan has accumulated enough primordial crystals.

By the time the war with the Human Federation broke out, the Kunyang Clan's hoarded primordial crystals could not only meet their own needs, but also support other civilizations. Even if calculated at the rate of consumption during the war, the original crystals hoarded by the Kunyang clan can be used for hundreds of years, and there is no shortage of original crystals in the short term.

In fact, in order to defeat the Human Federation as soon as possible, the Kunyang Clan commissioned the Extreme Realm Clan to speed up the production of small origin energy converters after the outbreak of the war. Because they did not directly send troops to participate in the war, the Extreme Realm Clan had no reason to shirk, and successively opened a number of production lines of small origin energy converters. In the era when Yu Qingyu commanded the human army, the small Origin Energy Converter produced by the Extreme Realm Clan exceeded the combat attrition.

Obviously, the question is whether there are enough soldiers to use these small Primal Energy Converters.

The Extreme Realm did not participate in the war, so naturally it was not the turn of the Extreme Realm soldiers to use these small Origin Energy Converters. The combat effectiveness of the Troop Clan Legion is a big problem, and even if there are enough soldiers, it may not be able to become stronger. The Berserkers are limited by their own conditions, and there are not many individuals with the original body, only about one in a million, so the demand for small origin converters is not very large.

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

The problem is that the population base of the Kunyang people 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 grows, the hope of a quick victory is getting smaller and smaller, and the Kunyang people must find a solution.

At that time, the Kunyang people took three measures. The first is to expand the scope of conscription within the ethnic group and begin to recruit excellent personnel from outside the royal family to make up for the problems caused by the shortage of royal members. The second is to find alternatives, that is, ways to allow civilian soldiers to gain powerful combat power without a small Origin Converter, and the result is the Origin Energy Reservoir. The third is to expand the size of the population for the long term.

Obviously, the key is the third measure.

Although the Kunyang people have introduced policies to encourage childbearing and lower the threshold for adulthood, these policies have had little effect in the short term. Normally, it takes about thirty years for a minor individual of the Kunyang tribe to reach adulthood, and even if the threshold for adulthood is lowered, it will not be less than twenty years. If you take into account the speed with which the policies are being rolled out, especially the level of popular acceptance, it will take at least fifty years for these policies to be effective.

With no other choice, the Kunyang launched 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.

It's just that the clones are obviously not real Kunyang people, and they can't become real soldiers. Affected by this, the Kunyang tribe had to abandon the elite soldier policy, that is, no longer the legion was formed by the soldiers, but only the soldiers served as the officers of the legion, and the clone soldiers acted as ordinary soldiers.

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

Of course, the Kunyang tribe did not publicize this matter with much fanfare.

Quite simply, cloning intelligent life is a taboo, even in times of war. The point is that cloned intelligent life is also intelligent life, with its own needs and must have independent consciousness, but it cannot be recognized and identify with itself like naturally born intelligent life. If cloning intelligent life is popular, the first to be threatened is its own body. It is precisely for this reason that over the past thousands of years, many civilizations of the Galactic Alliance have been willing to develop intelligent programs to replace and enhance the value of individuals, and will never use cloning technology. It can be said that if there is another way, the Kunyang clan 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 they are directly managed by the royal family. As for the clone warriors who came out of these bases, after receiving simple training, they would all be incorporated into the Kunyang Clan Legion as ordinary soldiers.

Of course, this is no longer a secret, or rather an open secret. (To be continued.) )
