28. Land and Blood (15)

There is a saying that war is the catalyst for various technologies, and in times of war, people's ingenuity, creativity, and brains can be maximized, and they can be supported by the highest priority resources. In the era of peace, when everything has to be repeatedly argued, seniority is discussed, and occasionally academic factional battles and black-box operations are inevitable, there are always more obstacles in front of young people.

That's only half true.

It is true that the investment in various technologies in wartime is indeed more generous, especially in those technologies that have a good future and can influence the tide of war, and the government's performance can be called bold, and there is no trace of the usual style of comparison. If the war situation is declining and defeat is imminent, the pressure will further promote all kinds of brains to shine. In order to save the motherland or avoid being conscripted, all kinds of strange black technologies will go to the drawing board and plan projects, what UFO fighters, iceberg aircraft carriers, super heavy combat vehicles, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they dare not mention. As for the Cold War, in that crazy era when the country's upper echelons and nuclear experts pondered how to destroy mankind every day, and ordinary people desperately gathered bottle caps to prepare for the end of the world, brains were the norm, and reason was a luxury. When the U.S. imperialists are engaged in nuclear-powered supersonic low-altitude cruise missiles (SLAM), missiles equipped with nuclear-powered ramjet engines sweep the ground at a high speed of Mach 3, while dropping 16 thermonuclear warheads in turn, the combination of the strong radiation exhaust gases emitted and the shock waves generated by low-altitude and high-speed flight will turn everything it goes to death (strong radiation will not last long, but it is enough to make all the creatures on the ground die of severe radiation sickness, plus shock waves...... And because it is nuclear-powered, it is impossible to shut down the reactor once it is launched, and this winged Chernobyl will continue to fly in the sky for several months, and there is no ...... in the south According to the idea of the Soviet nuclear experts and the father of steel, this huge black long straight torpedo is used to give the US imperialists a shot into the soul, and when the T-15 nuclear torpedo explodes off the coast of the United States, the nuclear explosion will cause a huge tsunami, and the strong radiation wastewater will engulf the coastal cities of the US imperialists. In addition, according to the consistent theory of "salvo saturation strike" of the Soviet Red Navy, it is quite possible that several T-15 nuclear torpedoes and a salvo of less powerful T-5 nuclear torpedoes will be ...... Then there is no need to say more. Others, such as building reservoirs with nuclear bombs, individual nuclear backpacks, individual recoilless nuclear cannons, nuclear explosion-propelled spaceships, etc., will not be listed here.

From the above cases, it is not difficult to find that in addition to capital and patience, the constraints on technological development are more ethical and moral. It is only in times of war and in the white-hot arms race that the question of how quickly and easily to destroy the enemy's technological means is more important than whether it is ethical and moral, and whether it will bring unimaginable disasters to all mankind. Whether it is the development and testing of weapons of mass destruction, the development and development of morally controversial technologies, or even large-scale human experiments that would be absolutely despised in peacetime, they are all "reasonable and legal", and as long as you are the ultimate victor, no one will blame you.

For the above almost strong words, the Empire, especially the weapons research and development department, can be said to be well versed in the essence. In order to make up for the huge gap in troops, the elves have spared no effort in armament research and development. In addition to all kinds of advanced conventional weapons, there are also a lot of crooked things. Some of these ideas and experiments are not even "outrageous" enough to describe the degree of madness, the use of prisoners of war to produce organic biological weapons "Chimera" is only the tip of the iceberg, if all those hidden madness in the darkness are unearthed, the malice contained in them is enough to make the mentally fragile people break down, and the initiator of all this madness - the elven camp will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, cursed by other races for a thousand years, everyone gritted their teeth when they mentioned elves, and thought of all kinds of evil deeds.

However, things did not turn out like this, even if the matter of "Chimera" being put into the battlefield was exposed, the elven camp was not condemned and besieged en masse, but successfully established a country on Charlemagne's corpse.

The reason why this is the case is not complicated to put it bluntly. Again, the victor is not to blame, and good and evil are just another way of saying the winner and the loser. If you are blamed, it only means that you have not won enough.

The elves won very completely, so no one jumped out to turn over those unappetizing old accounts, even the families of the victims, under the watchful eye of Big Brother Stasi, could only hold resentment and tears in their hearts. The Empire's weapons research and development department is out of control, and in preparation for the next war, they begin to integrate the lessons learned from the past and develop weapons that are more in line with the needs of future battlefields. And it is precisely units like the 500th Special Technical Battalion that carry various tests, collect relevant data, and provide a reference basis for weapons research and development.

Originally, this was nothing, any weapon must go through strict testing and inspection before mass production and installation, and after passing the test and comparison, it is confirmed that this weapon has reliable performance and practicability, and after passing the acceptance, the superior unit will apply for a trial of small batch production according to the financial situation, and then improve it according to the reaction of the troops, and then start mass production.

The main task of the 500th Special Technical Battalion is to test and inspect the actual combat before it is officially installed, so compared with ordinary troops, the proportion of technical officers in its composition is quite high, and it looks like either a white coat or a blue-gray coverall, which looks similar to that of a logistics support unit.

However, they would not have gone to war in the first place, so there was no assumption that such a situation would occur.

What will go to war is something far more vicious and violent than the "Chimera".

It is a product of how bad it is, even if it is called "taboo", and its existence is a symbol of unbridled arrogance.

- As you can see. ”

Technical Major Edward Grote rubbed his hands together excitedly, with a humble and flattering smile on his face, like a crappy salesman.

"The testing of the system has come to an end, and the tests of the accelerated ascent and landing impact have been done several times, with a success rate of 97%, and only 3% of them are small mistakes during the landing, which can be repaired to normal within 15 minutes of landing. As it stands, it can be put into combat at any time. If we can achieve a solid result in this battle, the whole project will definitely make leaps and bounds, and it will also be of great significance to the development of weapons for the next generation, and the problems that have plagued the empire for a long time will be completely ......."

"What I want to know isβ€”"

Caspar interrupted Grote's speech.

Obviously, the other party's military rank is the same as his, and even if according to military regulations, when the same rank, civilian officers are half a rank lower than field officers, his tone is still too blunt.

This was not an arrogant reaction of relying on privilege, and he had previously maintained a considerable degree of respect and etiquette in the face of officers of his rank or rank, but now he ......

The cold eyes and slightly frowning brows were silently telling the disgust in his heart, and if it were not for the most basic etiquette and reserve, Caspar's disgust would almost erupt.

Pressing the vomit of tumbling in the stomach pouch, Caspar asked:

"Can the amount that can be invested at this stage meet the demand? Even if it is a surprise attack, the target will not be caught honestly, and once the target reacts, it is very likely that a large amount of loss will occur in a short period of time, and whether or not the vacancy can be filled in time and the loopholes in the encirclement network will not appear is the key to determining victory or defeat. ”

"No problem. ”

The technical major raised the corners of his mouth, and the humble salesman's face instantly turned into a cruel smile.

If a poisonous snake could smile, it must be like this.

"Our lovely and ferocious little birds are there to meet this kind of battle, and they are not afraid of casualties, nor are they pained or afraid. As for the quantity you are worried about...... Needless to say, as long as the core part is not damaged, they will deploy equipment and corrections according to the situation on the ground, and continue to fight, and after the battle begins, relevant materials and troops will continue to be delivered, so as to form sufficient numbers and firepower to suppress the target. The most critical core part is not a problem, anyway, it's the same as cockroaches, even if you leave it alone, it will keep producing......"

Staring at the grim grin that was almost dripping with poison in front of him, Caspar vowed to beat the mad scientist for a good time.
