18th century total war

Chapter 372 Thought Stamp and Subconscious Guidance
Li Wei nodded slightly. Now he finally figured out where the hope of his longevity is after the unlocking of the total war system authority.

At the same time, he also knows the source of the total war system and the reason why this system keeps leading him to war.

I have to admit that Li Wei agrees very much with the concept of civilization confrontation promoted by the emperor of the advanced civilization and technology empire that created the total war system.

The most effective way in civilization competition is undoubtedly to completely eliminate and enslave other civilization opponents through war!

However, there is one final and most crucial question for Levy.

"Xiaobai, can I still train and brainwash the army through military camps, and manipulate people's hearts through administrative enlightenment?"

Levi has checked that after the Total War system permissions are unlocked, the original interface has disappeared, leaving only a so-called auxiliary artificial intelligence novice who can communicate through the consciousness in his mind...

[Of course, and the function during the assessment period has been fully released, and the host can understand it as an optimization.

The brainwashing army mentioned by the host is actually a branch of the mind control system, called the Thought Seal.

Thought Stamp is a method to achieve complete control by destroying and changing the personality and emotion of an intelligent life, and can infuse the required memory and knowledge with relatively low energy consumption.

Since the thought stamp's damage and changes to the brains of intelligent life forms are irreversible, there are limits to the memory and knowledge that can be instilled, so the most efficient way to use it can only be to create soldiers.

For high-level civilizations, this technology can only be regarded as tasteless. In the period of technological empires, whether it was mass-produced cheap clone fighters, synthetic human fighters, and cyborg fighters, or mechanical corps that could be transformed and enhanced, their combat effectiveness was extremely high. It is higher than the soldiers produced by this ideological stamp.

The original purpose of the ideological stamp was to deal with the problem of prisoners of war.

Or send disgruntled slaves to battle for the last worth of their lives.

Of course, for the current host, the thought stamp has very efficient military uses. At least before the quantum age, the fearless army composed of ordinary intelligent creatures still has good combat effectiveness.

However, in the information age, there are many substitute products for the army built by the ideological stamp.

As for the administrative attunement mentioned by the host, it is actually the subconscious guidance technique most used by the mind control system.

Compared with the ideological stamp that violently destroys the personality and emotions of intelligent life forms to achieve the purpose of control and training, subconscious guidance technology is undoubtedly more gentle and effective.

Subconscious guidance technology can not cause any damage to intelligent life forms at the conscious level, but can also plant seeds called loyalty in their subconscious minds, so as to achieve effective control.

Among the system function buildings established by the host before, the brainwashing functions possessed by the tax office, appeal court, large arsenal, classical university, and bank building all come from subconscious guidance technology.

It's just that the severity is different.

Among them, the administrative attunement mentioned by the host is the most effective way of subconscious guidance, but it also consumes the most. As for other loyalties that conduct subconscious guidance in a certain area, the consumption is much smaller, but this subconscious guidance is also It is easy to crack, and is often only used for unimportant people.

In order to achieve the most efficient cost performance. 】

"Then how do I increase the number of administrative attunements and ideological seals?
I am not very satisfied with the weak brainwashing functions of large arsenals, classical universities, and bank buildings. Can I set all of them as places for administrative enlightenment?

My empire needs more bureaucrats to govern, and after the scientific research center is established, in order to ensure that my military technology does not leak out, I need to give administrative enlightenment to those scientific researchers, which is what you call subconscious guidance. "

There is one more thing that Li Wei didn't say, the beautiful bodyguards around him also need administrative advice!
Li Wei also tried to put beauties in the military camp for ideological stamp training before, but the trained beauties are just like those stubborn big-headed soldiers, without any sentimentality at all. When Li Wei uses it, it is like using a self-contained The real dolls of the sound system are average and boring.

Therefore, Li Wei is more inclined to use administrative enlightenment operations on his beautiful bodyguard team.

[Host please rest assured, the optimization of the mind control system is mainly used to guide the subconscious mind.

The spiritual energy that subconscious guidance needs to consume is directly linked to the population controlled by the host.

Control here refers to people's recognition of the host's right to rule.

Whether it is recognition generated by awe and fear, or recognition generated by loyal support, it can bring corresponding spiritual energy to the host.

In theory, every civilian with a sense of law-abiding will have this kind of recognition.

Because in the centralized imperial state established by the host, people's recognition of the law is actually the recognition of the host's personal authority, and the comprehensive war system combined with the host's consciousness can obtain a steady stream of spiritual energy to support it. Subconsciously guided consumption.

Compared with the one-time output of the thought seal, although the consumption of subconscious guidance is much lower, it is a long-term consumption, just like an engine that needs power supply, and mental energy is like a continuous input of electric energy. Once the electric energy is interrupted , the engine will stop working automatically.

The notion of loyalty guided by the subconscious will also shatter over time.

Originally, the ability of subconscious guidance obtained by the host is a weakened version, which means that the number of administrative enlightenment places obtained by the host is far lower than the spiritual energy obtained by the host.

After being fully optimized now, the host will naturally no longer have such restrictions.

Theoretically, if a thousand humans recognize the host's rule, the host can obtain the most efficient subconscious guidance quota, which is what the host calls an administrative enlightenment quota. 】

"Are slaves also counted as a population?"

[That is natural, as long as the slaves know that the emperor who rules them is the host, the name of the host is the link to absorb spiritual energy. 】

"Then in the pan-world federation I established, can the population of those countries that nominally submit to me, as well as the population of my vassal states, provide me with spiritual energy?"

[This is not necessarily the case, because the host cannot completely control the public opinion of the vassal states and those countries that nominally join the pan-world federation.

And the civilians in those countries also know that their emperor is not the host, even the civilians of the vassal countries may not produce enough spiritual energy.

Of course, as long as the host's name appears in his cognition, the host can still receive some spiritual energy more or less.

This kind of spiritual energy is naturally emitted by intelligent creatures such as humans, and it is an energy that can be used continuously. However, due to its particularity, this energy can only be used in the mind control system. 】

"I understand that the direct rule can reach the theoretical administrative quota of 1000 people, and the vassal rule and even the rule in name will be weakened.

But I should be able to increase the absorption efficiency of this spiritual energy by threatening other countries to promote my name. "

[Yes, host.

The recognition of the host's rule is the most efficient way to absorb spiritual energy, and other recognitions can also obtain a small amount of spiritual energy.

Like fear.

Even if the citizens of other countries do not agree that the host is their monarch, they only need the civilians of other countries to fear the host from the heart, and the host can absorb the spiritual energy they escape, but the absorption efficiency is different.

However, does the host still have enough time to conquer more land and population to obtain spiritual energy?
And this kind of spiritual energy can only be used to increase the quota of subconscious guidance, which is different from the type of spiritual energy required by the thought stamp. 】

Li Wei smiled wryly: "Of course I don't have much time to conquer the world now, otherwise I would not have proposed the concept of a pan-world federation, let alone the American continent and the Far East on the other side of the ocean, even if it is a vassal state next door. There is not much time to conquer.

My life is numbered.

And now if I go against my promise and go against the system of vassal states I established at the beginning, those countries that have not been conquered, no matter how much they fear my power, will unite and resist me.

After all, no one wants to be a vassal of another country. "

[The host is right, the most important thing now is to climb the technology tree, use all the funds for domestic production and development, and have enough technology, then the host's empire will inevitably usher in a blowout industrial explosion, forming a snowball effect, increasing the odds of winning against alien civilizations.

As for the energy needed for the thought seal, the host doesn't need to worry about it.

Compared with subconscious guidance that requires the spiritual energy of the local people, the ideological stamp consumes the spiritual energy of the enemy.

It's not that the host wants to kill and injure as many enemies as possible, but that the enemy constantly has extremely high fear of the host.

The best way to accumulate the energy required for ideological stamping is through military victory.

Every victory at the strategic level will cause the host's enemies to have various negative emotions, and these negative emotions are the spiritual energy needed for the thought stamp!

For the convenience of the host, this spiritual energy is still recorded in the data template of the glory value. The host defeated the world hegemony of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland in the last war, and obtained a total of 1000 glory points.

The host does not need to use the glory points to upgrade the system's functional buildings. The quota of administrative enlightenment has been optimized by the total war system, which is related to the population controlled by the host and the deterrence of other countries.

The specific amount will fluctuate due to changes in the population controlled by the host, but one thing is certain, the number of administrative enlightenment places that the host has now must be ten times or even a hundred times that of before!
As long as the host doesn't require administrative enlightenment control even for positions like village chiefs, the number of administrative enlightenment quotas is absolutely sufficient.

At least the middle and high-level and important grassroots of the Europa Federation empire will be laid out in an all-round way. The tens of thousands of scientific researchers in the Paris Research Center, the host's bodyguard group of [-] people, and the number of administrative enlightenment places are absolutely sufficient. 】

"With 1000 glory points, doesn't that mean that I can train another one million absolutely loyal soldiers?"

[Yes, but Xiaobai suggests that the host should wait for the more advanced weapon assembly line to be completed before conducting training, so that those soldiers can directly use more advanced weapons and equipment.

The optimization of the ideological seal can ensure that the host is no longer restricted by the type of arms during the brainwashing training. As long as the corresponding weapons and equipment and operation manuals are provided, they can complete the training and quickly become an elite veteran.

The ideological stamp instills not only the concept of loyalty, but also a lot of memory of actual combat experience and even muscle memory!
This is where the ideological stamp is most valuable.

In addition, if the host's army defeats enemies from other worlds, it will be more efficient in obtaining glory points. The reason is because various countries in this world are already familiar with the host's victory, and negative emotions have been harvested wave after wave. Waves, and enemies from other worlds are very unfamiliar to the host.

Naturally, the efficiency of harvesting negative emotions is also higher. 】

"Listening to what you said, I know what I should do next."

Li Wei said with a smile, Xiaobai's explanation was simply enlightening to him!

After Li Wei returned from London, he immediately convened a cabinet meeting of the Europa Federation Empire and readjusted the location of the capital of the Europa Federation Empire.

London is the western capital, Paris is the central capital, Vienna is the southern capital, Berlin is the northern capital, Moscow is the eastern capital, and the Europa Federation has established five major political centers!
At the same time, the concept of a state was further weakened and reduced to a political division similar to a province.

After becoming the hegemon of the world, Li Wei's cabinet also began to abandon the original lies, increasingly ignoring the political tendency of national independence and freedom, and even the proposal of the provincialization of the state has begun to be set.

In order not to cause strong backlash from various states and nationalities, the provincialization will be gradually implemented in the next five years, and some ethnic groups with large populations will extend the provincialization time to a maximum of ten years!
After all the states complete the provincialization political reform, the Europa Federation Empire will also be renamed the Europa Empire!

The Emperor will serve as the only legitimate authority in the Europa Empire.

In addition, the Imperial Guard's war against Africa has changed from massacre to slavery. After Xiaobai's reminder, Li Wei learned that the importance of population to him is directly related to the number of administrative quotas!

As a result, a large number of black slaves began to rush to the bottom labor space of the Europa Federation Empire.

Black slaves are treated differently from laborers in labor agencies. Their living conditions are even worse, only the minimum standard of living is guaranteed, and concentration camp-style militarized management is strictly implemented to dispel the inertia of black people.

Facts have proved that under the whip and bayonet, even lazy blacks can become hardworking bees...

In Li Wei's eyes, the population of Africa has become an indispensable resource, and the concentration camp management of black slaves can also make work for the imperial guards who have no need for war.

Thank you Weiwo Tao for rewarding 100 starting coins.
