From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 390 Immortal

Baninger was a little skeptical of Lilith's words. Besides, he didn't seem to have anything else to do at the moment, so he simply sat on the water and asked:
"If you are doing this for Atlas and the boss, why do you do it in secret? You can just tell me, I believe the boss will understand."

"No, no, no, you still don't understand Master enough."

Listening to Baninger's words, Lilith shook her head and continued:

"Let's not talk about the fact that the Master has always been quite resistant to this. Just to say that I have brought you veterans who died for the company back to work for Atlas, if the Master knew about this, given his personality, I don't think it would end well for him."

"."

Baninger didn't know what to say for a moment about the second half of Lilith's sentence.

Although he currently has no thoughts about the current situation and has adapted relatively quickly, the fact that he was "pulled back to work by the company after his death" is indeed full of complaints.

"Since you know that Boss doesn't like this, why do you still do this?"

"Hey, I'm doing this for the sake of the Master and the company's future. Well, I might as well tell you slowly."

Lilith did not hide anything from Baninger. After all, he was just a digital life and was under her absolute control.

If she wanted, Lilith could even "imprison" Baninger forever in this virtual space.

The reason why she did all this was very simple, which was to form an 'Immortal Legion' composed of digital life for Atlas.

Because according to her calculations, the war between the Federation and the Empire will continue for some time, after which both sides will find that under the current circumstances, they do not have the ability to completely destroy their opponents.

However, if a country is under the "general mobilization order" for a long time, the people's livelihood and economy will suffer a great blow, which is unbearable for these two human countries.

Unfortunately, Lilith has not yet discovered that the two countries have noticed this. They are now investing most of their energy in this war aimed at completely destroying their opponents, completely unaware that they are actually the biggest victims.

According to Lilith's judgment, in half a year at most, the "bad consequences" of the general mobilization order other than the military will mature, and both the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire will suffer backlash.

It is even very likely that both countries will experience "civil unrest", especially the Star Dragon Empire, which has an unstable political situation, and may be in big trouble.

This also means that this "war to end all wars" not only failed to accomplish this task, but also completely dragged two human countries into the abyss.

Therefore, for Atlas, which is currently involved with both major human forces, it will definitely not be able to stay out of the future and will inevitably encounter more and more armed conflicts, or even wars.
For a private enterprise, it is a bit strange to use the word "war", but for Atlas's growing size - especially for the armed forces whose strength has greatly increased after controlling three unmanned fleets, war is not a distant term.

And Lilith also knew that Atlas was just a private enterprise after all. Even if it developed into a global giant according to Amber's plan in the future, it would definitely not be able to compare with the two human countries in terms of the most important "human resources".

Although we currently have the Roma, who can be considered a stable source of soldiers, the problem is that this "source of soldiers" is essentially in the form of mercenaries and costs money.

According to Atlas' current pension regulations for combat troops, this unit cannot afford too many casualties. This is not because the Roma are afraid of death, but because the group may not be able to afford so much pension.
Therefore, Lilith has been thinking for Amber about how to solve the problem of expendable troops after a large-scale conflict breaks out in the future or a direct war with the Federation or the Empire. Lilith found a solution to this problem some time ago, which is the "unmanned troops" that Amber has always been reluctant to form.

Lilith didn't know why Amber was so resistant to the "unmanned army". It even seemed to her that she had "unmanned army PTSD".

But for Atlas, this is almost the most suitable solution.

With Lilith around, there is basically no need to worry about the combat intelligence of the troops. Atlas' industrial layout from the beginning to now has also enabled the group to have the conditions for large-scale production of unmanned troops.

'Hive core', 'worker bee', 'soldier bee'.
These auxiliary units that appeared on the battlefield for the first time were a 'test' that Lilith had finally persuaded Amber to conduct.

Judging from the results, this 'test' was undoubtedly very successful.

Whether it is being integrated into the ground forces' command network, coordinated operations, or the functionality and combat capabilities of these unmanned units, their performance is perfect.

By simply upgrading the basic platform and replacing it with more powerful weapons, the Hive Core can completely serve as an "auxiliary force" to assist ground forces in combat.
If the unmanned troops formed based on the hive core are used to consume conventional forces, then the digital life plan that Lilith carried out behind Amber's back is to form an elite unmanned combat unit with "high and low combinations".

Imagine that when Atlas' combat troops die on the battlefield, they will not really die, but will be extracted by Lilith as immortal "digital life".

Not only does it possess all memories and combat skills, and continue to grow in battle, but it can also infinitely change various "combat carriers" - digital life has almost no restrictions on carriers, so it can even create an entire unmanned HCP army.

Such an elite combat unit with extremely strong combat power and no fear of death, even if it is "killed" on the battlefield, can immediately return to the battlefield through the airdrop of a new "combat carrier", and this unit will only increase in number over time, and will never lose personnel.
".My initial plan is to name this elite combat force the 'Immortal Legion'. Captain Baninger, what do you think after listening to this?"

Lilith, who spoke eloquently about a lot of plans, looked at Baninger, who was thinking silently, with an expectant look.

"Compared to you, other capitalists are nothing. Boss is more like a good man."

"."

Seeing Lilith's expression frozen, Baninger secretly sighed that the emotional changes of this artificial intelligence were quite real, and then continued:

"But from a combat perspective alone, the tactical value of such a combat force is simply too high. No, if the combat effectiveness is high enough, it can even be enough to influence a ground campaign."

"So Captain Banninger, you support my plan?"

"Yes, but the prerequisite is that the Boss can approve this plan."

"Tsk, it's you indeed."
