Chapter 1278 Sword Fighting Selects Heavy Soul

In the high orbit of the planet, which is hard to see with the naked eye, eight small celestial bodies are wrapped by the solar sail of the regular octahedron (rhombic gem shape). They are connected with each other by orbits to form eight points of a regular hexahedron (cube). And at each point, there is another track leading directly to the central core.

This is the appearance of the latest industrial base, the name is Cube.

Compared with Gradius, it naturally looks a little small, but in fact it is a combination of factories that can accommodate a total of one million people.

Of course, there is no real need for millions of workers to work here, but a fully automated assembly line.

Because energy is cheap, many operations that are purely prodigal can be regarded as routine for people in this era.

For example, using short-distance star gates to transfer resources.

The star system where Gladius is located has gaseous stars, as well as other non-ferrous metal mineral stars, as well as frozen planets and asteroids.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is a stargate, it is not willing to use it to transport such conventional resources.

Because the gain outweighs the loss, the energy consumption of opening the star gate is very huge, and every time the star gate is opened, the star gate itself is also consumed. Generally speaking, only rare minerals like Pandora's Rare Su (Avatar) have the value of Stargate transportation.

But to a certain degree of technological prosperity, energy is extremely cheap, and conventional materials can also be transported by star gates.

In fact, technology conforms to the bucket effect, and the shortest board will always become a problem that restricts the overall level of technology.

On the contrary, when the energy is cheap enough to use star gates to transport conventional materials without feeling distressed, other technologies, such as microscopic science, etc., are also so clever that they are almost godlike.

The technology of mass-energy conversion is completely mature. As long as there is energy, or any kind of matter, it can be converted into another kind. Molecular construction, even atomic construction, can directly generate the required materials with energy particles.

With such technology, where is the need for Stargate to transport conventional supplies?

However, the Warhammer 40K universe is a world of pseudo science fiction and true fantasy. This leads to some cutting-edge science and technology, which are not suitable for use in this universe.

Because even in the physical universe, extraordinary energy is overflowing, which cannot be avoided. And the more cutting-edge technology, the more stringent the conditions to achieve it. With the interference of extraordinary energy, the mass-energy conversion is prone to problems.

This is also an important reason why technology has no future in the extraordinary world. If you can't go to the real extreme, Chaofan is more compelling than it.

The cube industrial base itself also produces resources and energy. The solar sails and connecting tracks are based on the spirit bone technology of the Eldar race. They are light but tough, and the efficiency of using solar wind, cosmic rays, and energy particles has reached a certain level. Kind of extreme.

With abundant resources and continuous self-replication of the industrial mother machine, 3D printing begins after the scale is formed.

Although Kane did not use more advanced holographic printing for the final industrial transfer of the design, the mature 3D printing system is still very efficient.

The key is that this type of equipment has the characteristics of simplifying complexity, and only asks about product specifications, not specific content. Everything from pots and pans to airplanes and cannons can be printed. Specifically, the printing production line is divided into five models: large, medium, small, micro, and giant. , then OK.

In this way, the super industrial base with a complete range of products looks like an old-fashioned Internet cafe, well-ordered, or the same.

An appropriate robotic arm, coupled with a multifunctional robot, completes the automated production line. The parts related to computing and information are all quantum communication-style point-to-point management, and the supercomputer base station at the core of the cube is sufficient to handle all computing tasks.

Since all purchases and shipments are through the star gate, there is no circulation of materials or personnel from the outside. The cube is like a satellite in a high orbit, circling alone in a circle.

This is actually quite good, and it greatly reduces the hidden dangers of regular people and logistics in the background of star ports and docks.

Mature stargate technology,

It is equipped with a security inspection system with a high degree of security.

In the eyes of Rodriguez and others, they saw that it was Kane's subordinates who built a rather sci-fi mirror pyramid building in just a few tens of minutes, and then began to transport it from the inside to the outside. All kinds of items, as if it is not a building, but a cornucopia!

"Has lost contact for two thousand years, has the technology of the empire reached such a level?" Rodriguez and the others were amazed, while looking enviously at Kane and his entourage.

However, the representatives of the major institutions of the empire felt sour: "It's right to envy Kane, don't take us by the side, we are also turkeys who look at the mysterious..."

The first thing to be built was the equipment used to assess and give birth to the 'Fighter'.

The gladiators are the Imperial Guard's own stormtroopers stationed in Gladius.

Kane's selection of soldiers can be said to only look at the soul. Physical fitness and so on, with the height of biotechnology he has mastered, it is almost as easy as pie to cultivate soldiers of various types and strengths.

Thus, Gladius' chief soldiers embarked on a magical journey.

They were told that before participating in the assessment, in order to test the true level as much as possible, they would be required to take special drugs. Best state.

Since it is not a voluntary application, but a full-staff assessment, the qualification is obtained.

As for whether you want to become a member of the glorious fighters after you get the qualification, it depends on your personal choice.

Even officers, there are relevant assessments to become officers of fighter swordsmen. Even cooking soldiers and the like will participate. It's nothing more than batches, there is a sequence.

In fact, the real test begins after taking the medicine.

Of course, it also includes a program to check for mixed breeds of chicken thieves.

Take Rodriguez's Independent Corps, for example.

The soldiers first took two days off to settle their personal affairs, write letters from home and so on. Then it's time to take the medicine and go to bed.

In fact, this medicine is not sweet to make people sleep, but a medicine that cooperates with the test equipment.

The soldiers thought that after a good night's sleep, they felt refreshed the next day and began to meet the assessment.

In fact, they are not awake at all, but in the virtual world bridged with the dream.

It can be said that the soul is out of the body, or it can be said that the consciousness is uploaded. In short, what is awakened is only the consciousness, not the body.

Soon, the assessment began.

The first level of the assessment is famously called Difficult Choice.

That is to say, through a series of two choices, one can even identify a person's three views, temperament, and mentality.

This pass is very similar to a game called "Train Problem" that Kane played back then, but because of the virtual world as the base, the simple train problem has been replaced by a series of events, making people immersive, like real experience.

The choice itself given by the "train problem" is more philosophical, and it doesn't give people too many things to think about. A decision must be made within a few seconds.

And now the assessment is about the same.

Take a few train problems for example. The general meaning of this game is that a train running at high speed will inevitably run over some people due to out of control, and you are in control of the electronically controlled switch for changing the train lane. How to choose specifically.

Choose one:

A There is always 1 staff member who can work as planned.

B always 5 people on staff not working as planned.

Option two:

A One leader who came to inspect as planned.

Three employees of B were forced to work overtime.

Choice three:

A lost two adults.

B A lost child.

Choice four:

A one of the most wanted jailbreakers.

Five bears escaped from Zoo B.

Choice five:

A is an abandoned baby.

B Five old people who were abandoned by their families.

Choice six:

A abandons the child's parents.

There are ten family members of B who abandoned the old man.

And so on, and the further back, the more human nature is tested.

For example, choose between 100 million US dollars and an ordinary person. Choose between your friend and someone who is far better than your friend, one advanced medical machine, and five ordinary medical workers.

There are also some slightly eccentric ones. For example, one ultra-high-performance experimental robot, five mass-produced robots with average performance, and so on.

The worst thing is that at the end of a series of choices, the game tells you that your choice determines who and what will be loaded into the starship.

The planet is about to be destroyed, and you will embark on a journey of escape from the universe with the people and things you choose.

In this long adventure, who to interact with and what materials are available depends on how you choose before.

Because it is a game, not only the questions are dense, but it also seems to ask questions for the sake of asking questions.

In Kane's assessment trial, Miranda tried to integrate similar issues into the incident as much as possible, and according to the examiner's choice, he specifically arranged the relevant plot of the next choice. The purpose is to be realistic. Let the parties think that this is what they have personally experienced.

This is both a test and a baptism.

Those who pass the score will have the opportunity to enter the next level.

The second level is to test the fighting spirit.

In Kane's view, this is also a very important link.

This link is mainly to pick out those who are particularly talented in combat and those who are particularly lacking in talent.

This also seems to be Kane's habit all the time.

Among the three hundred Spartan warriors played in the movie, Leonidas did not accept Elfaltes, who was not weak but deformed, for the tactical unity of the team array.

Kane cuts both top and bottom, don't want to be cumbersome, and don't want heroes.

Of course, there is no need to be too strict in the selection of fighters. Those who are talented will not really be kicked out of the fighters, but will be used as vanguards, just like the anti-terrorist team, with 6-8 people, each with their own unique skills, to perform special tasks.

The fighters, on the other hand, are an elite team that has risen to a higher level compared to ordinary soldiers, but it still does not break away from the category of soldiers, and still emphasizes belief, discipline, and organization.

'Sacrifice' is indeed a very good quality. But Kane did not deliberately encourage.

In other words, he proudly believed that the human army he commanded did not rely on advocating sacrifice to win the victory. After all, this kind of practice itself, if you are not careful, you will be deflected into the brainwashing of cults.

As for the war worms under his command, or other puppet armies, they are weapons in themselves, and their deeds at the expense of their lives in order to complete their missions are duties and procedures, not sacrifices in the true sense.

Sacrifice is a noble consciousness, and it is also a helplessness that goes against the instinct of life. Its noble point lies in the fact that rationality and sensibility have overcome instinct, and the maximum devotion to the ego. This is the glory of intelligent life with self-awareness.

Kane believes that any involuntary sacrifice with a guiding and demagogic nature is actually a kind of profanation of this concept. It is a kind of profit driven and deceitful.

From the perspective of the Imperial Defense Forces, the staffing of Rodriguez's independent regiment can be said to be quite satisfactory.

In the establishment of the Imperial Defense Army, ten people form a squad, two to five squads form a platoon, two to six platoons form a company, and five to six companies form a regiment. There is no battalion level.

The independent regiments are all selected, three squads are platoons, three platoons are companies, and three companies are regiments. In this way, the number of battle groups is about the same as that of the Astartes monks.

Astartes monks are a team of ten, a company of ten teams, and a battle group of ten companies.

In other words, Lin Linzong, the independent group, counted thousands of people.

Of course, this refers to combatants, non-combatants are 1.5 times this.

In the independent group of about 2,500 people, more than 260 people finally passed the assessment and were willing to become sword fighters.

The ratio of almost 10:1, Kane thinks it is not low.

There were more than 30 mixed chicken thieves found in the platoon, more than half of them were non-commissioned officers. The highest positions were a major's staff officer and a captain's company commander.

This is shocking. After all, even people who don't know much about military affairs can imagine how much destructive power such two positions can release if they do things sincerely in a group that pays attention to obedience like the army.

Kane even believed that the invasion of the swarm was imminent.

Because the gene thieves don't care about personal and organizational honors or disgraces, everything starts from welcoming the master Wang.

Under such a background, if it is not the imminent action, they will not have too much real power on the front line.

And I am more used to saving the country with curves, such as taking the route of wives, making a fuss about officials or the family members of the rich, so as to gain enough influence, and arrange for my own people to quickly grasp the real power when needed.

Know that the more spies are arranged, the greater the chance of exposure. Once it is discovered by humans, it will often alarm the relevant departments, and it will be very troublesome to continue to track it down.

Only when the swarm invasion is imminent, and it is necessary to grasp as much real power as possible, can it be used at a critical time, and a remote garrison will be recruited with so many spies.

It can be said that if these lurkers are really allowed to attack smoothly, it is entirely possible for the independent group to be paralyzed for several days, or even mutiny and civil strife.

Kane couldn't help but think. After all, according to the prophetic information he possessed, there was no swarm invasion event in this year.

"Is it because the empire is isolated from Gladius, so the official memorabilia is not recorded? Or for some reason, the swarm did not make it this time?"

He himself prefers the latter possibility. After all, according to his understanding of the current combat power of Gladius's humans, as long as the swarm comes, there is no possibility of losing.

After all, the people here can't even jump out of the gravity well by themselves, and the swarm can easily gain control of the orbit, and then they can advance and retreat freely. Only for this point, Gladius human beings will be defeated without support.

But if human beings are defeated, it is not a question of whether the official memorabilia has records, but that this planet will be gnawed into a barren star by the swarm, and there will be no later Gladius.

Kane couldn't explain why. It can only be said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. He is more willing to believe in his own knowledge and analysis than in the prophetic information.

According to the activity shown by the gene thief, he thought that the swarm invasion was imminent.

Then, it is necessary to make arrangements according to the situation that the swarm will kill at any time.

He contacted Miranda to let the Buzhou Mountain start the construction mode at full speed and build more production lines.

This is not only to manufacture more combat weapons to deal with possible wars. At the same time, it is also to quickly digest the resources of this star system.

The first order will consume or gather the resources of the star system first. When the Tyranids launched a war, they could only stretch the supply line, and even fight by consuming their own reserves, hoping to make up for the consumption after victory.

And no matter which one it is, it is tantamount to one long and the other disappearing.

If time is enough, he can even try to make a Dyson sphere, which is completely covered except for the part of the sun that corresponds to Gladius. Turn the star into a Death Star (the Star Wars one) that constantly emits a weaker version of the destruction ray.

If that step is achieved, the swarm will have to post more reserves in advance to start the war. Then, with the simple thinking of the swarm, will they stick to their own plan, or will they give up Gladius because they feel that the profit is low after the calculation?

Kane knew that he could not rely on the kindness of the enemy to avoid the disaster of war. That's too passive.

But he still hopes that the swarm chooses to abandon Gladius, not for the hundreds of millions of humans on Gladius, but because he is worried about the rampage of the swarm and awakening the space necrons in advance. At that time, human beings will be caught between the two, and they will really be devastated.

"Firepower, more and more precise firepower!" Kane has always been a supporter of the theory of firepower supremacy, what this and that, pouring as much energy as possible in as little time as possible.

If the light and heat emitted by the star, which is calculated in tens of billions of years, are all released in one direction in a very short period of time, then a super weapon such as a human-controlled gamma ray burst is not willing to be beaten head-on even if it is sacrificed.

Back then, why the star gods were so tyrannical, wasn't it because of their high energy throughput. Each of these beings who lived on star energy could achieve the effect of Abaddon's Twelfth Expedition gimmick, the bombardment effect of the planet killer's main cannon when destroying planets. Instead, relying on the use of this extraordinary brute force time and time again, the ancient sages who are very skillful, comprehensive and fancy are full of hatred and extermination.

So with Kane's order, the bone extraction plan started, and Gladius' planetary companions began to suffer.

Better to be drained by me now than to be drained in the future by a possible swarm. With such a fierce mind, Kane started farming with all his strength.

For this reason, he even built a large star gate connecting Khulna, and notified the Big Dipper star area to rush to manufacture the equipment and send it over.

Undoubtedly, in terms of scale, this has surpassed the construction of the original window world Khulna.

As a result, due to too much movement, it attracted enemies that were unlikely to appear, Chaos, and Orcs...
