Chapter 778: Maverick
If it is said that the Bingyu clan relied on its unique resources to establish a clan, and relied on it to build a powerful fleet, and had a military force that was at least superficially very powerful, thus becoming a second-rate top civilization and gaining a powerful influence comparable to that of a first-class top civilization, then the Kunyang clan relied on its own strength and persistent efforts to obtain everything it has now after overcoming unimaginable difficulties and obstacles.
Among the four second-rate top civilizations, only the Kunyang tribe has developed the technology to make a small origin energy converter on its own.
In fact, the development of the Kunyang people has not been smooth, and it can be said that it has always been full of challenges.
When they came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, the Kunyang Clan was not strong at all, and they were also very unlucky. For example, the indigenous civilization that the Kunyang people have taken refuge in is not friendly. At that time, the other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance had found a home and at least obtained a more ideal living environment. The situation of the Kunyang people is very bad, and the indigenous civilization they have taken refuge in is wary of foreign civilizations, even hostile. As a result, the Kunyang people were forced to settle on a planet with an extremely harsh environment and no water. Because the environment is too harsh, the Kunyang people cannot develop at all. After the outbreak of war with the indigenous civilizations, the Kunyang people even had to ask for help from other civilizations.
At that time, the total population of the Kunyang ethnic group was less than 10 million.
What is this concept?
You must know that before the outbreak of war with the indigenous civilization, the civilization of the Galactic Alliance had come to the Southern Alpha system for more than a hundred years. Not just the three first-class top civilizations, almost all civilizations have developed and grown in the past hundred years. With the exception of a few civilizations with very bad luck, the population of other civilizations has exceeded 1 billion, while the population of the three top-notch civilizations and hundreds of rapidly developing civilizations has exceeded 10 billion. Compared to these civilizations, the Kunyang people, with a population of less than 10 million, are very small. It can even be said that if the Kunyang clan is not a member of the Galactic Alliance, and the star system where it is located happens to be in the central region of the Southern Alpha Galaxy, it has huge strategic value, otherwise other civilizations will not rush to the aid of the Kunyang clan, let alone spend precious troops for a civilization with a population of less than 10 million.
It's just that the Kunyang tribe, which grew up in adversity, has characteristics that no other civilization has.
The most significant point is that all people are soldiers.
In fact, this is also the main reason why the Kunyang people were able to persevere in the face of adversity.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Kunyang tribe was able to survive the first all-out war, which had a lot to do with the several civilizations that sent troops to help at that time, but outsiders did not know that before that, the Kunyang tribe had been fighting fiercely with the indigenous civilization for decades, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. Before the outbreak of the war, the Kunyang had hundreds of legions and more than three million armed soldiers, equivalent to one-third of their total population. That is, almost all adults serve in the military. Although due to population limitations, the Kunyang tribe has not established a complete military industry, nor does it have a strong economic strength, let alone science and technology, but no one can deny that the Kunyang tribe has a strong army. What's more, the Kunyang clan's legions have a wealth of experience, and almost all of their soldiers have been on the battlefield.
In fact, the Kunyang people were able to get out of adversity by relying on their own legions, not reinforcements from other civilizations.
By the end of the war, the total population of the Kunyang tribe had only exceeded 10 million, without much growth, even the number of legions was about the same as before the war, and the army had not expanded, but no one had slowed down the war strength of the Kunyang tribe, especially the combat effectiveness of the Kunyang legion.
It's just that the Kunyang tribe has not become an advanced civilization because of this.
What changed the fate of the Kunyang people was the First Greenwich War that broke out hundreds of years later.
When the Silicon Phantom army entered the Southern Alpha Galaxy, the Galactic Alliance was not ready for war at all, and even the three top civilizations were taken by surprise. Because they did not expect the war to come so quickly, and the attack of the Silicon Charm army was so rapid, no civilization prepared for the war in advance, and did not even have the necessary defensive deployments. As a result, many civilizations were quickly destroyed, and the flames of war reached the heart of the Southern Alpha system. Although the Bright Holy Emperor stood up in time and the three top-level civilizations also took action in time, relying on only one person could not stop the Silicon Charm army commanded by the War Emperor himself, let alone recapture the lost star system. However, no one expected to turn the tide of the war quickly. Everyone, including the Bright Saint Emperor, believed that stabilizing the battle situation was a top priority.
If you want to stabilize the battle, you must first contain the offensive momentum of the Silicon Charm army.
At this time, only the Kunyang clan can go up, because among the many civilizations of the Galactic Alliance, only the Kunyang clan has always insisted that all the people are soldiers, and they have always maintained a high state of combat readiness. Although the Kunyang tribe is not the only one, compared with other civilizations with strong military strength, the Kunyang tribe has the highest level of combat readiness. More importantly, the Kunyang Legion has the strongest combat effectiveness and the lowest need for logistical support.
After the Bright Holy Emperor personally intervened, the patriarch of the Kunyang clan commanded the army to the front.
Although there was no hope for the Kunyang tribe, and not even a single civilization was willing to provide support, even if it was just some invaluable war materials, in the next few years, the three hundred Kunyang legions created a great victory that would be considered a miracle even after thousands of years. That is, with almost no backup and no material support, the three hundred Kunyang clan legions held on to the front line for five years, did not let the Silicon Charm army take a step forward, and bought precious time for tens of thousands of civilizations in the rear to complete the war mobilization. It's just that the Kunyang clan has also paid a terrible price. Of the three million Kunyang warriors in the three hundred legions, less than 300,000 walked down from the battlefield alive. You must know that the Kunyang clan had only more than 100 million people at that time, and less than 30 million were suitable for joining the army, and the standing strength was only 500 legions. That is to say, this battle buried sixty percent of the standing army of the Kunyang clan.
It's just that the Kunyang clan did not sink because of this.
In the next battle, the Kunyang clan has always been the main force, and the Kunyang clan army is even charging at the front line. By the end of the First Greenwich War, the Kunyang clan had 3,000 legions, and all of them were the main legions, all of which had rich experience in actual combat. Although they don't have a powerful fleet, they don't have too many resources, not to mention advanced technology, but the military strength of the Kunyang clan should definitely not be underestimated.
The point is that the Kunyang clan mastered the technology of making small origin converters during the war.
By the end of the war, at least 300,000 of the 30 million officers and soldiers of the Kunyang tribe had small Origin Energy Converters, and other officers and soldiers could become soldiers at any time.
At that time, it was believed that the Holy Emperor of Light had provided the technology to create a small Origin Energy Converter to arm the Kunyang Legion and ensure that the Kunyang Legion could hold off the advancing Silicon Charm Army. However, this is not the case, and the technology of the Kunyang clan does not come from the Bright Saint Emperor. As for how the Kunyang people obtained the technology, no one can say clearly. The key is that the scientific and technological strength of the Kunyang clan is not strong, and there are not even real scientists. According to rumors from the outside world, the Kunyang clan obtained the technology from the Silicon Charm Alliance during the war. It is also believed that the Kunyang clan captured a war king in the battle against the Silicon Charm army, and was also a war king who was greedy for life and feared death, obtained the technology to make small origin energy converters, and produced hundreds of thousands of small origin energy converters in the following decades. Of course, this is just rumor and does not have much credibility. Quite simply, the War King of the Silicon Charm Alliance is obviously not qualified to master the technology of making a small Origin Energy Converter. In fact, the Kunyang people have much more credibility to obtain relevant technology from indigenous civilizations.
Of course, no matter what, the Kunyang clan is the first civilization in the Galactic Alliance, in addition to the top civilization, to master the technology of manufacturing small origin energy converters, and the first to mass-produce small origin energy converters, and also use them to arm the legions, creating an era.
In fact, this is also the key to the Holy Empress of Light's willingness to transfer relevant technologies.
To put it simply, since even the Kunyang can make small Origin Converters on their own, this technology is no longer a problem for other civilizations, especially those that have grown in war. With enough time, other civilizations will be able to make a breakthrough sooner or later. In that case, it would be better to go with the flow and offer the technology to make small primordial converters to civilizations that recognize the status of a top-level civilization and are willing to accept domination.
It's just that this is already after the counterinsurgency war.
In that rebellion, the Kunyang clan was one of the first civilizations to send troops, and they were even more active than the Bingyu clan. What made the Kunyang clan take refuge in the Hidden Spirit Clan was not the generous conditions offered by the Bright Holy Emperor, but a threat. Before the Bright Holy Emperor found the leader of the Kunyang Clan, the Lei Ling Clan's brave and resolute team had already arrived at the Kunyang Clan's homeland. If the Kunyang Clan rejects the conditions offered by the Bright Holy Emperor, the Brave Warrior will destroy the Kunyang Clan's home planet. Because the Kunyang clan has not expanded externally and has not colonized the galaxy, as long as the home planet is destroyed, it will be completely finished. The Kunyang clan could only compromise with the Bright Holy Emperor, but in the subsequent counterinsurgency war, the Kunyang clan did not participate in the battle against other civilizations.
In fact, in the past few thousand years, the Kunyang people have been mavericks.
To put it simply, as long as their own interests are not threatened, the Kunyang people never clash with any civilization, and even rarely interact with other civilizations.
In this regard, the three first-class top civilizations are naturally happy to see.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Kunyang clan doesn't cause trouble and doesn't pose a threat, as for how to develop, it's not a matter of concern to the three first-class top civilizations at all.
Of course, for thousands of years, no civilization dared to underestimate the Kunyang people. Quite simply, in all the Greenwich Wars, the Kunyang Legion was the pillar of the Silicon Alliance. It can even be said that if you had to choose between the fleet of the Warrior Clan and the Kunyang Clan, then almost all civilizations would choose the latter. That is, after thousands of years of development, the Kunyang clan has made enough small Origin Energy Converters to ensure that every warrior has one. In other words, the Kunyang clan has a legion composed entirely of soldiers. As for the combat effectiveness of this kind of legion, Yang Yi knew it better than others, because the same was true of the human expeditionary force commanded by him. (To be continued.) )
