Soon after the war broke out, in order to solve the problem of the shortage of soldiers, the Kunyang people secretly launched the cloning project, but at that time the previous research was the main focus. Because the fighting went smoothly without much pressure, and the wild beasts and the military domain were very active and shared a lot of tasks, the Kunyang clan was able to adhere to the fine soldiers policy at the beginning of the war, and the Kunyang clan’s standing legion Enough to cope with the tasks undertaken.
By the time of Yu Qingyu, the situation was not so ideal.
Of course, it wasn't just Yu Qingyu's influence alone.
After the difficult time at the beginning of the war, the human federation began to exert its strength, and Yu Qingyu was also on the stage of history at this time. After completing the full-scale war mobilization, the Human Federation first expands the front, that is, through the extension of the front to weaken the opponent's military density, so that the Kunyang, wild beasts, and military regions that have not completed the full-scale war mobilization cannot rely on limited forces. A major breakthrough was made. Next, the defensive strategy proposed and adopted by Yu Qingyu to a large extent weakened the advantage of the offensive side and made up for the lack of the overall strength of the human federation. As a result, the Kunyang tribe, the wild beast tribe, and the Bingyu tribe all suffered from insufficient military strength.
If it is said that the Kunyang clan can still rely on the wild beasts and the military area clan before this, then with the extension of the front line and the adoption of a deep defense strategy by the human federation, there have also been problems in the military strength of the wild beasts and the military area clan. Under the circumstances, the Kunyang people can no longer avoid their own problems.
Judging from the situation at the time, if the offensive cannot quickly expand its forces and continue to attack, the human federation has the opportunity to build a very strong line of defense, and then rely on this line of defense to inflict heavy damage on the offensive, causing the offensive to suffer huge losses, and finally force The attacker compromised. In fact, this is also the ultimate goal of the defense-in-depth strategy led by Yu Qingyu, which is to open the door to negotiations through a solid defense.
During this period, the Kunyang tribe, the wild beast tribe, and the Bingyu tribe were all putting pressure on the extreme realm tribe, asking the extreme realm tribe to send troops to participate in the war.
However, the Extreme Race did not compromise, but on the grounds that Queen Kang Sheng had just ascended the throne, and the contradictions within the ethnic group had not been completely resolved, they refused to send troops and only agreed to provide more support, such as sending legions and fleets to guard the logistics supply line. Task.
Obviously, the Kunyang tribe, the wild beast tribe, and the Bingyu tribe ultimately have to rely on their own strength to solve the problem of insufficient military strength.
It was during this period that the Bingyu Clan Corps began to participate in front-line battles. It's a pity that after a few battles, the poor performance of the Bingyu Legion disappointed everyone. There is no problem for the Legion of the Legion to control the occupied star system, but it is a big problem for the Legion of the Legion to fight against the human legion. At that time, several offensives led by the Bingyu Clan Army ended in disastrous defeat. Not only did it not reduce the burden on the Kunyang Clan and the Wild Beast Clan Corps, but in the end, the Kunyang Clan Corps came forward to clean up the mess. It can be said that if the Kunyang clan had not been prepared for a long time, and did not believe that the Bingyu clan can change the situation, the consequences would be very serious.
As for the wild beasts, there is no problem with expanding the army, but it can't help the Kunyang clan.
Quite simply, the advantage of the wild orcs is the size of their forces. Among the four second-rate top civilizations, only the wild beasts have maintained a large enough standing army in peacetime and can rapidly expand their forces during wartime. On the battlefield, the fighting power of the wild orc army is also very strong, as long as there are suitable conditions, it can almost sweep everything. The problem is that the wild orc army does not have the ability to fight alone, especially against the human army. The key is that the human legion is best at defense. As long as a strong fortress is built, it can often block one hundred. When facing the wild orc army, the defensive strength of the human army can be exerted to the extreme. Quite simply, the wild orc army has only a quantitative advantage, and the defensive tactics of the human army are particularly suitable for fighting enemies that have mastered the quantitative advantage. Just like this, in most battlefields, the beast tribe can only win with the assistance of the Kunyang tribe, or the beast tribe can assist the Kunyang tribe. Under normal circumstances, the first charge is launched by the wild orc legion, which consumes the firepower and troops of the human legion. After the wild orc legion opened a breakthrough on the human legion's defense line, the elite soldiers of the Kunyang legion went into battle, tearing apart the human legion's defense line from the breach, forcing the human legion to retreat, or dividing and annihilating the human legion.
Obviously, the Kunyang Clan Corps is the absolute main force and has played the role of the mainstay.
In other words, even if the wild beasts can expand their forces in time, they cannot change the situation without the cooperation and support of the Kunyang Legion.
All the problems are concentrated on the Kunyang clan, and the key is whether the Kunyang clan can quickly expand its forces.
At that time, the biggest problem was not the output of small original energy converters, but the soldiers.
Don't forget that in the past few thousand years, four second-rate top civilizations have always been threatened by three first-rate top civilizations, and they may be attacked at any time. For survival and development, the four second-rate top civilizations have never let down their vigilance and have been preparing for war. Because the war never broke out, the four second-rate top civilizations hoarded a large amount of war resources, such as the original crystals used to make small original energy converters, and most of them were concentrated in the hands of the Kunyang clan. Don't forget, only the Kunyang tribe owns sacred artifacts. Although restricted by various factors, especially the limited population size, the Kunyang people do not have the ability to mass-produce small-scale primary energy converters, but they are maintaining their own interests and fighting against the three first-class civilizations. The Kunyang people have always Master the production and supply chain of the original crystal. Simply put, the other three second-rate top civilizations can only obtain the original crystals provided by the Kunyang clan when they are needed, and most of the time they are obtained by purchase. If there is no special need, even the extreme clan cannot obtain additional original crystals.
For thousands of years, the Kunyang people have accumulated enough original crystals.
When the war with the human federation broke out, the original crystals hoarded by the Kunyang clan could not only meet their own needs, but also support other civilizations. Even if calculated at the rate of consumption during wartime, the raw crystals hoarded by the Kunyang clan can be used for hundreds of years, and there is no shortage of raw crystals in the short term.
In fact, in order to defeat the human federation as soon as possible, the Kunyang tribe entrusted the extreme tribe to speed up the production of small power converters after the outbreak of the war. Because they did not directly send troops to participate in the war, there was no reason for the Extreme Race to dodge, and many small-scale original energy converter production lines have been opened one after another. In the era when Yu Qingyu commanded the human army, the small power converters produced by the extreme clan also exceeded the combat losses.
Obviously, the question is whether there are enough soldiers to use these small power converters.
The Extreme Race did not participate in the war, so it was naturally not the turn of the Extreme Race's soldiers to use these small power converters. The combat effectiveness of the corps is a big problem, even if there are enough soldiers, it may not be able to become stronger. The wild beasts are limited by their own conditions, and there are not many individuals with primitives, probably only one in a million, so the demand for small primitive converters is not very large.
It can be said that the Kunyang people have the most superior conditions, and almost all individuals possess Primarchs.
The problem is that the population base of the Kunyang people is too small, and growth is a long process, and it is impossible to cultivate enough adult individuals in a short period of time.
This is an unavoidable problem, especially as the scale of the war expands and the hope of quick victory is getting smaller and smaller, the Kunyang people must find a solution.
At that time, the Kunyang people took three measures. The first is to expand the scope of conscription within the ethnic group and start recruiting outstanding personnel from outside the royal family to make up for the problems caused by the lack of royal family members. The second is to find an alternative, that is, a way that allows civilian soldiers to obtain strong combat effectiveness without a small primary energy converter, and the resulting result is the primary energy storage. The third is to expand the population size for the long-term plan.
Obviously, the key is the third measure.
Although the Kunyang people introduced policies to encourage childbirth and lowered the threshold for adulthood, these policies have no effect in the short term. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 30 years for the minor individuals of the Kunyang nationality to reach adulthood, and even if the threshold for adulthood is lowered, it will not be less than 20 years. If you take into account the speed of policy promotion, especially the acceptance of the people, it will take at least 50 years for these policies to encourage childbirth to produce results.
With no other choice, the Kunyang clan started the cloning project.
It can be said that at the time, cloning was the only way to solve the shortage of soldiers in a short time.
However, the clone is obviously not a real Kunyang, nor can it become a real soldier. Affected by this, the Kunyang nationality had to abandon the policy of fine soldiers, that is, no longer formed by soldiers to form corps, only soldiers as officers of the corps, and clone fighters as ordinary soldiers.
Because of the severe battle consumption, the Kunyang nationality's fine-soldier policy could not be maintained.
Of course, the Kunyang people did not publicize the matter with much fanfare.
Quite simply, cloning intelligent life is a huge taboo, even in times of war. The key point is that cloning intelligent life is also intelligent life. It has its own needs and must have independent consciousness, but it cannot be recognized and identified with itself like a naturally born intelligent life. If cloning of intelligent life becomes popular, then the first thing that is threatened is its ontology. This is also true. In the past thousands of years, many civilizations of the Galactic Alliance are willing to develop intelligent programs to replace and increase the value of individuals, and they will never use cloning technology. It can be said that if there are other ways, the Kunyang clan will not use clones to expand the army.
Because it is an ulterior secret, the Kunyang clan’s cloning bases are all in the star system controlled by the royal family, and are directly managed by the royal family. As for the clone fighters coming out of these bases, after receiving simple training, they will all be incorporated into the Kunyang Legion as ordinary soldiers.
Of course, this is no longer a secret, or an open secret.
