I saw that Levi was going to form a land corps of 500,000 people, mainly manned corps.
I guess someone will raise questions soon.
Why do we need a “manned army”?
Wouldn’t it be better to let factories produce more robots, equip them all with high-energy batteries, and add “artificial intelligence” systems to create a robot army?
In the Dark Empire, the mechanical legions occupy the majority, while the biological legions occupy a small proportion.
Moreover, robots will not betray, are not afraid of death, have low operating costs, can be replenished and produced in large quantities... They have many advantages and can be formed into an army quickly. When commanding, only a few dozen people may need to click with a mouse and control them like a video game.
It is simply the best choice.
Having said that.
Levi also considered building a purely robotic land army, but when he thought of the robots' several fatal weaknesses, he finally gave up the idea.
First, early metal robots had weak resistance when encountering strong electromagnetic pulse attacks (neutron bombs) and could easily be destroyed as a whole.
Second, the machine army requires communication signals for continuous control. Once the signals are interfered with, they will fight on their own, making it difficult to command from the rear.
Third, in combat mode, the electricity consumed by 500,000 robots every day is astonishing. The power supply nodes can easily become the main targets of attack. Once the power is cut off, the army will be defeated without a fight. If the command center in the rear is destroyed, the entire army will also be defeated.
Finally, the robot's internal operating system is also at risk of being invaded and controlled, and may be induced to rebel... Of course, Levi doesn't have to worry about this problem.
To sum up, at present, the human army's sustained combat capability and reliability are still higher.
If we form a mixed legion based on the human legion and combine it with robot warriors, it would be the best solution... Levi also had this idea in his mind.
Levi even plans to take out technologies such as individual exoskeleton armor, large mechas, and flying power mechas, turn them into physical objects, and equip human soldiers. In this way, the burst combat effectiveness of human soldiers will be far superior to those robot soldiers with insufficient intelligence... This is also one of the important reasons why Levi plans to recruit human soldiers.
But people's hearts are hidden. Compared with robots that have no desires or demands, human soldiers are full of weaknesses and their desires are difficult to satisfy. In addition, they have guns in their hands. For the sake of profit, they are likely to turn against their enemies and stab them in the back.
This is completely overthinking. After entering the highly developed modern society, the probability of the army turning against the enemy will not increase, but will decrease greatly. The reason is very simple. Take a heavy tank as an example. You suddenly announce that you are going to turn against the enemy, but the tank suddenly breaks down halfway through the journey and must be sent to the manufacturer for repair. If the manufacturer does not turn against the enemy, the tank will be scrapped.
Fighter jets, missiles, and large ships are extremely dependent on the logistics support system. Once they are separated from the logistics support system without considering the consequences, they will automatically lose their combat effectiveness within a few days.
Even the most common rifle bullets were used up by human soldiers, and since they lacked the raw materials and equipment to produce them, they could soon become nothing more than firewood sticks.
In addition, human soldiers consume a lot of food, drink and other necessities every day. If an army that does not produce anything loses its source of income, it will quickly become a chaotic and defeated army and will not be able to hold out for long.
Soldiers are recruited for their wages, and the main purpose of serving in the army is to make a living. As long as the pay is high and the treatment is good, they will work hard for anyone. Who would be so stupid as to rebel against the financial backer?
And even if there are some people with bad intentions mixed in the human army, Levi has measures to prevent and control them. The system is very complete and will not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of it.
So, that's the decision.
But who will command this land army?
How about Levi come himself and take on the role of Supreme Commander? He shook his head. He didn't have the energy or time for that. After all, it was just an ordinary land army.
If he handed it over to others, such as bodyguard Zhang Chaoming and others... Levi was not very confident because these human bodyguards did not have the relevant experience and talents.
How about letting an armored man be the commander?
This is not quite appropriate. As a low-end logistical support unit within the Dark Empire, the Armored Men are used to being led, rather than suddenly leading hundreds of thousands of natives. It would not be appropriate for them to do so without experience.
Their strange mechanical appearance made them difficult for human soldiers to accept. Furthermore, public opinion on Blue Mercury was also full of suspicion. It was unclear what the Land Corps would do next: expand? Or perhaps conquer the world?
The best way is to find a trustworthy human being to serve as the commander of this legion.
You don't even need to have outstanding military talent, as long as you are absolutely loyal and trustworthy.
Levi quickly thought of someone.
He immediately picked up his phone and made a call.
…
Tianhai City.
Since coming out of the classroom, Lin Guoming seemed to have been reborn, and his whole body was full of joy and relaxation.
The haze that had weighed on my heart for decades disappeared.
He finally figured it out, came to terms with it, and realized the truth, and no longer pursued money and fame excessively.
His daughter Lin Xueting's investment fund invited him to be a "strategic consultant". If he didn't go, he would no longer live for money and would not do any speculative things.
From now on, he will just be a simple and ordinary retired old man.
Recently, he suddenly converted to Buddhism and joined a Buddhist philosophy club. He gained new insights and gains every day. Then he stopped eating meat and became a vegetarian. He stopped killing and donated money and materials to poor areas. He donated millions and helped many people.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
