As we all know, the Defence Force has a weakness that cannot be bypassed, that is, the lack of troops.

The population of elves has always been a hard wound, even if modern medicine and eugenics are introduced, and even through administrative means to encourage each elf family to be sure to produce children who can form a football team for the country and nation, the fertility rate has only improved slightly, and there is nothing to think of in a short period of time.

At one point, the Wehrmacht tried to solve this problem with technical force, and the Chimera was the product of such efforts. Murderous, fast, deadly, and a steady source of raw materials, it seemed to the mad scientists and war maniacs that they had dreamed of the perfect weapon. However, in the war with Charlemagne, the Chimera who had high hopes can only be said to have performed unsatisfactory, in the course of the war, except for the long Siegfried line in charge of the defense of the stronghold, the Chimera almost did not undertake any serious tasks, if it were not for the defense of the Iserlon battery, a vote of Chimera almost tore apart the intrusive Charlemagne assault detachment, the General Staff and the General Armament Department almost labeled the Chimera as "money-burning waste" and "cheat daddy", and stopped all research on organic biological weapons.

Objectively speaking, this assertion is not fair. You must know that the main tactical tasks of organic biological weapons are intended to infiltrate and clear areas, and the defense of strongholds can only be regarded as a side business. In this kind of high-speed operation, the Chimera, which lacks IQ, cannot keep up with the rhythm at all, nor can it talk about coordination, so it will not be of much use. If it was a battlefield of sweeping warfare that was intended to be used to create a no-man's land, the Chimera would probably shine.

In any case, given the performance in the war, although the Chimera did not complete the project, it was also determined by the military top brass that it could not take on the heavy responsibility of the main war weapon of the next generation. In order to meet the next big war, the General Armament Department once again issued an order to study the research and development of next-generation main battle weapons. In response, technologists proposed the idea of copying the "Legion" and drowning all opponents with a massive number of unmanned weapons.

That's right, the scientists of the Wehrmacht intend to reproduce that army of the dead with their own hands.

The decisive battle on the Rhine front not only frightened the great powers, but also the group of technicians with the defense army felt an unprecedented strong impact. However, unlike the fear and disgust felt by humans and orcs, the technicians were strongly moved and excited.

You are not mistaken, and you are not mistaken, the elven technicians did not hesitate or feel sad when they watched the endless "legion" flood the battlefield, fearlessly charging in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets, stepping over the bones of their comrades and enemies, and just continued to attack and attack again until they engulfed the enemy formation and the earth, pushing the frenzy of the "legion" all the way to the scene on the other side of the sky. The technicians were so excited that some of them even burst into tears.

Under Li Lin's words and deeds and the training of the workplace environment for many years, the technical research and development units of the defense forces have long been insulated from the so-called "morality". Honestly, it's more of a mad scientist's paradise than a scientific research unit. A group of mad scientists, whose minds are crammed with cutting-edge technology and ultra-nationalism, are thinking every day about how to build up the Defence Force.

In fact, this is nothing, science knows no borders, but scientists have nationality. There is no one who does not want their country to be strong, especially when the country is at war or surrounded by strong neighbors, and this feeling will become even more urgent, which translates into a sense of mission that prompts scientists to burst out with unprecedented motivation and creativity.

However, just as positive and negative numbers are multiplied, the result is bound to be an even greater negative number. When the positive numbers of mission, national pride, and talent are added up, and multiplied by the great negative number of "madness", the result is bound to be a very negative number—no sense of morality, and everything is prioritized by military necessity and efficiency—just like their Emperor Majesty.

The Wehrmacht's technical researchers have a mindset that is very different from the common people's moral knowledge, and they are bent on making the country strong and the elves back on top of the world, and for that they can trample on all morals. Whether it's injecting drugs into innocent children, performing non-anesthetic surgeries on crying and wailing teenagers, cutting open one skull after another, carefully observing different brain tissues, inserting electrodes into the cerebral medulla, observing and recording the brain's response to various stimuli......

It is normal for such a group of guys to be moved after seeing the performance of the "legion" on the battlefield.

This is exactly the form of the perfect weapon they have been searching for, not afraid of death, not afraid of pain, tireless, indomitable, with a certain degree of tactical coordination and learning ability, able to quickly adapt to different battlefields, and most importantly, it fills the last shortcoming of the imperial military power - quantity.

It can be said that as long as there are sufficient resources and production lines, the "corps" will continue to walk off the production line, and from the moment they are launched, they will inherit the knowledge and experience required for operations, and they can immediately be put into the battlefield without training from scratch. They don't question what they're fighting for, they don't complain about hunger and fatigue, they don't have to retreat because of the pain of war damage. To put it to the extreme, even if the worst-case scenario is that the empire has fallen, as long as the automatic production line is set up in advance, this army of the undead will still form a steady stream and continue to ravage the world like a natural disaster.

Normal people can only sigh that the elves have gone crazy in the face of such a line of thinking, but for that group of crazy technical researchers, this is very reasonable. First of all, if the empire can successfully dominate the world, the above problems will not arise, and it is not worth worrying. Second, if the empire is unfortunately defeated and fails to fulfill its long-cherished dream of world domination. Then what awaits the elves must be reckoning and revenge, and this time they will not be as lucky as they were thousands of years ago, and there will still be survivors of the remnants, patiently waiting in the dark corners for the opportunity to revivenation. Since this is the case, then this world is not worth cherishing and protecting. Rather than let the barbarians, whom they despised, step on their corpses and climb to the throne of world domination, it is better to let the legions turn the entire world into a place of death for mechanical undead wandering imitatory. To put it bluntly, if you can't win, you must at least be prepared to pull all your opponents to cushion your coffin.

Now that the direction has been decided, all that's left is hands-on research and development. Due to the considerable experience accumulated in the development process of MDS and MA, there was not much trouble in the design and manufacture of the airframe. In contrast, giving intelligence to these fighting machines is the most troublesome part. Until then, there were only gorems and automata who acted according to commands, and artificial intelligence that could recognize situations and make judgments on their own did not even have a concept. The Defence Force is also almost blank in this regard, as if everything has to be started from scratch, and it will have to wait for decades or even hundreds of years of technological accumulation before progress. And before that, people don't have to worry about the threat of the "legion"?

If anyone thinks so, then he really underestimates the mad scientists of the Empire, who have always been a group of excellent devils.

The inspiration of the "legion" in the Battle of the Rhine is not only at the conceptual level, but also provides a valuable reference for the rapid prototyping of artificial intelligence.

Rather than spending time researching artificial intelligence from scratch, it would be better to directly copy ready-made smart compositions, which have been around for a long time.

That's the human brain.

In previous battles, the "Legion" had the act of extracting human brain marrow to strengthen its tactical computing ability. Wehrmacht researchers were also inspired to use the human brain, a replica of the human brain's structure to act as a central processing unit (CPU). In this way, the human brain is prone to decay and the trouble of dissecting the complete brain and implanting it into the body is also eliminated. By cutting open the skull, scanning and copying intact brain structures into the crystal, a CPU with fast processing power is complete. After that, all you need to do is enter the various commands and tactical regulations, and you can place it in the mech.

As the first batch of practical "corps" test aircraft, the 350 "corps" under the jurisdiction of the 500th Special Technical Battalion will assume the heavy responsibility of assaulting the core target area, and they will prove their value with the results of the battle.
