Chapter 125 Startup
While Lee and Pastor Martin were discussing the details of the religious rules, the door opened again, and the priest Bell, dressed in a wide robe, came in with Captain Grant in formal clothes.
Mechanical priest Bell did not stop working even while walking. His attention was on an electronic work board. The electronic work board was held by the two electronic tentacles behind the mechanical priest and hung not far from the left side of Bell's face. The electric priest Bell only needed to turn his head slightly to see it easily. The information on the electronic work board, and during Bell's walking, all kinds of data flashed quickly on the electronic screen, and the ab Bell was focusing on reading - even focusing on the electronic work board did not prevent him from walking, because of the eight electrons behind the ab Bell. One of the tentacles has been converted into an electronic monitor. This electronic monitor is like an eye that can move in an all-round three-dimensional sphere behind the priest. This electronic eye has many uses, and now the biggest function of this electronic eye is to help the ab Bell stare at the road ahead.
And the young Captain Grant wore a gorgeous and solemn black captain's suit, coupled with his cold face, he looked like a piece of cold ice floating in the dark universe.
As soon as the door opened, Li's full attention was on the priest Bell. He looked at the priest Bell without blinking, while the mechanical priest walked to the corner of the room carelessly and studied his electronic work board. For a moment, it seemed that no one had the intention to speak, which was embarrassing and silent. It lasted for a while, and Bell didn't seem to notice Li's eyes at all. His attention was still on his electronic work board. Lee had to cough and said, "Bell, I'm glad to see you so focused on your work."
"This is my duty."
"Then can you tell me about your recent work? Of course, it's about the condition of our children.
"Your Excellency, those people are not 'children'," the mechanical priest Bell corrected mercilessly: "Those people are warriors blessed by the Holy Emperor and warriors among the warriors. It's not appropriate for you to use the word 'children' to call them."
"Well, then tell me, how are those young warriors doing now?"
"The situation is eight percentage points better than the most optimistic forecast. Facts have proved that after the soldiers are carefully selected and then received systematic and hard training, their resistance to pain and new things will be greatly improved. Only 11 of the 100 soldiers have entered the dangerous situation. Our medicine The pharmacist will use chemical agents for debugging, but in my opinion, there is little hope.
The genes in the gene pool of the regiment will not only bring divine and powerful power to the soldiers, but also bring great danger. The physical pain caused by gene mutation and fusion is just an appetizer, and what is more dangerous is the spiritual impact. Those genes from the ancient heroes in the battle group have gone through several generations of excellent soldiers in the long history of the battle group, and the genetic information contains information for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years. In the dream, the long time is almost eternal. Surrounded by the soldiers' death, gunpowder smoke, and the flame that burns the soul, the soldiers can only survive if they survive with a strong will and turn their hearts into steel. Otherwise, the end of the soldiers will be very tragic, and their souls will be distorted and seriously killed. Go crazy and become an idiot, or a madman who only knows how to kill.
If you continue to go back along the gene, these ancient dreams brought to the warriors with the gene can even let the warriors see, and even experience the great battle of the gene proto, and to experience such a battle, of course, it is of supreme luck for the warriors, provided that you can still find it. I woke up from a deep dream. But this possibility is so small that it is almost non-existent. Once lost in dreams, it is difficult for soldiers to distinguish who they are even themselves. Long wars, eternal battles, never-ending cruel wars, and the life experiences of many people can easily drive a normal person crazy, and soldiers have to face all of these.
Li sighed and said helplessly, "So we have lost eleven people at the beginning."
"Although we should not give up hope, from a practical point of view, yes, unless the emperor blesses, the chance of the eleven people waking up is less than one in ten thousand. Judging from the data, this is already a good result. My lord, you don't have to be disappointed at all.
"I'm just a little worried. After all, this is just the beginning." Li understands that similar meaningless losses will continue. In the future, the soldiers will have to undergo cruel operations again and again. Although Li has artificially reduced some high-risk surgeries, this only reduces the risk, and death and loss are inevitable.
"tribulations and hardships are necessary, and loss and pain are inevitable." Pastor Martin explained, "Your Excellency, these are what we must bear."
Li nodded and changed a question, "What about the soldiers I brought back from the Bojiang Galaxy?" How are they doing?
"No loss," even in the praise, the tone of the priest Bell did not change. He said flatly, "They are unexpectedly excellent. The will of these soldiers is impeccable. In the foreseeable future, they will stand between us. Judging from the data, I think the soldiers recruited from the medieval world or the barbaric world are more suitable to become members of the battle group. It is recommended to set up a branch in the Bojiang Galaxy, or build a secondary base to include it as our collection point.
"It is recommended to adopt. In fact, the initial work of Pastor Martin and I have been carried out in the Bojiang Galaxy," Li thought for a moment and said, "The war in the civilized world is too simple. Soldiers only need to pull the trigger to kill the enemy from a long distance. A few technical officials don't even need to step on the battlefield. He They only need to sit in the command room and press the button to destroy the enemy. The army has become a profession, and soldiers can't even see blood. How can such a soldier have a strong will? We will gradually change the proportion in future recruitment. So Captain Grant, how is our ship now?
"Although it is a new ship, it has not found too many problems for the time being, and some minor problems have been repaired in time. The current state of the warship is very good. Of course, it will take a period of running-in between the sailors and warships to achieve perfection. The biggest problem is that the warships can't launch firepower now, and the gunners lack reality. Bullet training, if you encounter the enemy's warship, the chance of our army winning in the battle will be very low.
Li rubbed his temples, and he felt a headache. He knows where the problem is, but it can't be solved in a short time. The cost of the Silver Wing and the Black Rose is already very terrible. The Black Rose is slightly better. After all, it is a small expedition ship, and the consumption of the Silver Wing, as a lunar cruiser, is very terrible. This is only a voyage in the ordinary universe. Once a different space is opened. The ship jumps into a different space, and the ship's navigation every minute will be a huge energy consumption, which is only the cost of sailing and maintenance. The battle will be even more terrible. After all, as soon as the cannon rings, there will be ten thousand taels of gold. In the cosmic age, it is no exception. If you want to fire a gun, its cost will increase exponentially.
Now the regiment has just started, and money is needed everywhere. Although Li controls three galaxies and several worlds, there are not many imperial coins in his hand.
It's not okay not to provide ammunition. Most of the excellent gunners are fed by countless bullets, and the excellent gunners are also fed by countless bullets. Without training, how can they fight?
"Back to Zhiyuan Galaxy, I will replenish ammunition for you," Li said. "To be honest, for now, in the non-combat period, I can only provide a base of ammunition for your ship for half a year."
"Only one base of ammunition will be provided in half a year?" The captain's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Please excuse me, this is far from enough. My regimental commander, the training requires a lot of ammunition, a lot of ammunition."
"Captain, you must understand that there is only so much I can do. At this stage, the finance of the legion is very tight. Our only source of income is the civilized world of Zhiyuan Star, but Zhiyuan Star is a garden world. Both business and heavy industry are very backward, and the only thing worth commendable is the planet. Beautiful scenery. Therefore, in the next few years, many large projects about the battle group will be launched, but only the preliminary infrastructure will be carried out, and most of the resources will flow back to the Zhiyuan galaxy to improve the production capacity of the galaxy. Only when we have money can we get more things. We need to have our own large ammunition factory, our own large dock, our own weapons factory, and all this takes time. A little patience, captain, you will soon have a warehouse full of ammunition.
The captain shrugged his shoulders, "I'm looking forward to the day."
The captain's expectation began with a whole decade. During this decade, Li devoted all his energy to social progress and economic development. With the help of Li, the huge Zhiyuan United Metallurgical Company became a huge thing in the Zhiyuan galaxy, and the whole asteroid belt became their mineral excavation point. More ores, more energy, more factories, more people, and a stronger government. Under Li's will, the whole Zhiyuan galaxy was integrated into an efficient machine. At the beginning of the fourth millennium, it slowly started in the Far East with a rumbling sound.
