To enhance software capabilities, after multi-department discussions, a lot of things that had been initially discussed were eliminated, and in the end there were only two options left.
One is the establishment of the wartime military production system.
During the development of the kingdom, external threats have always existed, not only the demons, but also the Fatels and groups whose interests have been harmed in the expansion of the territory.
Just because the development gap has been widened by shortcuts, the construction of military force has been able to keep up. The mid-to-high-end military force is guaranteed by plug-ins. External threats have not affected the development layout of the industrial chain.
During this period, the development was rapid, and there was no time to organize arrangements related to military production. This was the first time that preparations were made to launch a big move to defend against the demons.
In the near future, we will conduct drills in some production units and familiarize ourselves with some materials. If a comprehensive and protracted war occurs, some manufacturers will switch to military production to increase the supply of various consumables and wearing parts.
With the basic direction in place, the next step is to optimize the entire conversion process and try to compress the production conversion time to within two months.
The customization requirement of two months, rather than three months or one month, is determined based on the existing military supply chain and strategic reserve scale. The real-time war intensity will cause some fluctuations.
In order to ensure efficiency during military production, Xincheng Heavy Industries will start stockpiling production equipment from now on.
However, there is no need to hoard too much. The initial plan is two projectile production lines, some single machine tools, and an additional magic energy storage module production chain involving multiple manufacturers.
Another piece of software is a further enhancement of the slime mold army.
The slime mold army is the key to the kingdom's current strength against the demons, because compared with conventional troops, as long as their weapon reserves can keep up, they are not afraid of losses and are very powerful. They can even extend the time scale, and their role is far greater. In the Blade Legion.
Further enhancement is also a concentrated reflection of the research results of the entire slime mold system in recent years.
The key is no longer the physical body, but the ability to preserve the spirit body in complex battlefield environments.
If a slime mold man is compared to a mecha, the backup memory (neural network state) stored in the slime mold center is the intelligent operating software of the mecha that has undergone personalized adjustments and environmental training, and the spirit body is the driver.
Over the years, through the joint efforts of ghost researchers and Black Forest College, many key nodes have been overcome. The only risk in "rebirth" is the alien adaptation of the spirit body and memory. It means that spirit body A is put into the cultivation jar of memory B and is reborn. The person B who comes out has some unsolvable difficulties, mainly reflected in aspects such as self-mental cognitive impairment.
This obstacle forced later research to focus on the preservation of the spirit body. Otherwise, the cycle of training a new spirit body into a qualified soldier would be too long, requiring at least five bodies and about forty months.
In short, for the application of new slime mold results, in addition to some work at the slime mold center, Wang Qi himself also has to cooperate in making some underlying adjustments. After that, there is basically no need to worry about preparing troops.
The existing reserve system lasts for 10 years, which means that those who have retired for more than ten years are no longer among the first batch of conscripts.
Excluding non-commissioned officers who have served for a long time, the standard service period of Phoenix Kingdom soldiers is five years. Ten years is exactly twice the number of active soldiers. Excluding the impact of the difference between the slime mold legion and the regiment reform brigade, the total number of reserves is 80,000.
Including active duty, the maximum number of battle losses in the front is about 100,000, and the second wave of recruitment will begin.
The second wave entered the comprehensive recruitment process, including those who have been retired for more than 10 years, some civilian security personnel, and young and strong volunteers. Since many retired personnel who have been retired for more than ten years are already in key positions or have become core technical personnel and are difficult to mobilize, and their physical fitness is not as good as that of the first batch, it is estimated that the total number of personnel that can be gathered together is about 100,000 to 120,000.
Combined with active-duty soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and officers, the total number is 260,000, which has basically reached the limit of the current war potential. If the war continues further, production, supply, and even post-war recovery capabilities will be seriously affected.
This is the meaning of the existence of the slime mold army.
The slime mold army has expanded, and the 41st, 42nd, and 43rd regiments have been converted into brigade-level organizations. As of the 50th regiment, the total number of active slime mold army members is 37,500.
According to the principle that if all members die in one round, 10% of the spirit body will be lost, which means that these more than 30,000 slime mold soldiers themselves are equivalent to a reserve of hundreds of thousands of people. The only difference is that no matter what method, its instantaneous total cannot exceed 37,500 people.
For every 1% reduction in the spirit body loss ratio, the total number of available personnel will increase by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It can be said to be a truly strategic investment at this stage.
In order to ensure that the losses were low enough, the General Staff also organized a special staff group to coordinate and design a special spirit rescue process for the slime mold army.
After this round of updates to the slime mold center, the ghost bodies of slime mold warriors who died in battle will actively return to a "meat bead". However, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, and the demons also have special methods to deal with the spirit bodies, and the bead itself has also been damaged twice. risks of. Therefore, specialized personnel are needed to ensure that the spirit body has a chance to return to the beads, and to allow the beads to enter the protective device in a timely manner. If the beads are damaged, early means are required to recover them.
In terms of specific implementation, the functions of medical units are mainly changed.
It’s not a complete change. After all, the regeneration of slime warriors is not just a matter of time. The “rebirth” including recycling and registration requires more than 20 days before they can be put into the frontline battlefield again. There is no need to abandon the physical body when it can be repaired, so The functions of the medical unit itself will not change, but new tasks will be assigned to the management of the medical system.
This is reflected in the unit itself, which results in the addition of an extra squad of professional medical platoons in battalion-level units. Of course, each frontline team, especially the individual soldiers responsible for battlefield rescue, also need to go to the slime mold center to back up their memories after receiving relevant training.
There is also a strength replenishment.
Slime molders are strictly biological weapons, so their retirement system is also different.
There are many strange problems in the decommissioning of slime molds, such as the difficulty of marking spiritual bodies, recurring defects in the neural network that builds memory backup, etc. Those who retire normally are divided into 10-year soldiers and 15-year officers. If you don't want to retire, you can continue to serve. Anyway, you often change your physical body. As long as there is no abnormality in the spirit body, there is no aging problem.
Since there will be no forced retirement, the overall number of slime mold reserves is not large. Including Firefly City's police force and those who have changed careers, they can only make up more than 10,000.
In the next period of time, it is necessary to organize them to receive a period of formal reserve training, and then back up their memories and switch to regular reserve service. The same is true for the replacement of police functions. We need to find a group of willing people who will first receive theory and a small amount of practical firearms training, and then back up Do whatever you need to do after memorizing it, and wait for the reserve forces to be mobilized before proceeding with the follow-up work.
Ten thousand slime mold reserves, based on a 10% battle loss rate, after losing 80,000 people, can still gather more than 1,500 regiment-level units.
There are nearly 50,000 slime mold soldiers. If the spirit body damage rate can be controlled to 5% in actual combat, they will be a very terrifying force.
But there is no doubt that in order to supply such a huge loss of weapons and equipment, there are insurmountable difficulties in materials and production. Therefore, the slime mold army will not really be used as consumables unless necessary.
Tactically, we should still follow the path that has been explored, and fight in a mixed manner with conventional soldiers, and be in a position where the risk of battle damage is relatively higher.
Divided by borders, the most dangerous area currently is the defensive side of the slime mold army. Including the two directions of the Phoenix Plate due north and northeast, the direction of the Pangxun Plate corresponding to the Fatel Empire is guarded by pure slime mold legions, and the others are mixed.
The 41st Brigade is a bit special. They are a tactical replica of the 1st Brigade. They are mainly responsible for mobile support and special operations. Of course, in comparison, the equipment of the 41st Brigade is more inclined to light weapons and cannot really be used. Completely replaces the role of the Blade Soldier.
