The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5172

What the Polymath attempted to do was to repeat human history, in part at least.

During the early days of the Age of Conquest, the Terran Empire rose up as a united human star nation that effectively mobilized every human under a single banner.

Just like what the Polymath wanted to do, the Terran Empire obeyed the rule of a single emperor who reigned with absolute power.

The reason why the humans back then supported this shift was because they were in an awful situation back then. Only by setting aside their historical regional and cultural differences would they be able to make the best out of their limited manpower, technology and resources and make real gains in the large and dangerous Milky Way Galaxy. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

The Terran Empire was a success. It grew rapidly under the wise and competent leadership of the leading figures of the time. Each of them were heroes and visionaries who all made undeniable contributions in the rise of humanity!

Now, the Polymath clearly wanted to emulate this model and repeat the success of the past!

Though the Terran Empire eventually deteriorated over time to the point where the Rubarthans successfully rebelled against the increasingly more tyrannical ruling powers, it at least did the job it originally set out to accomplish.

The Rubarthans had the luxury to launch their rebellion and cause a lot of internal conflicts because the human race had grown far enough to no longer hold much fear that the aliens would be able to exploit the infighting.

For now, none of the gathered Survivalists believed that they have the luxury to worry about the long-term dangers of letting a single individual reign as the absolute empress of all of red humanity.

Anything was acceptable as long as the Polymath could lead them to victory in this war of extinction!

As the Polymath reigned in her impressive domain, few people questioned her qualifications to rule over their entire society.

She was indeed intelligent and enlightened enough to be able to make well-reasoned decisions without any apparent flaws or biases.

She also demonstrated a relatively pure and selfless attitude towards power.

She did not propose taking charge of their entire civilization because she was power hungry.

She did it because she believed that she was the most qualified to assume this heavy responsibility.

Whether all of this was actually as truthful as the Polymath portrayed, Ves did not dare to think any further.

All he knew was that the female Star Designer wanted to convince everyone that she was qualified to become the savior of red humanity!

In order to do that, she proceeded to detail a portion of the changes that she wished to make to fully maximize the potential of their society.

"I have already explained how I intend to dissolve all existing human states in order to form a single united empire. This is a necessary step that will open up our new star nation to further policy changes. For example, one of the shortcomings that will become increasingly more evident is the lack of manpower."

The Polymath called up the map of the Red Ocean Dwarf Galaxy and applied a different overlay to it. The new data markers showed the estimated population of every race.

"As you can see, humanity did not have enough time to transfer enough individuals to the new frontier to give us an abundant pool of manpower. While the average qualifications of every immigrant is considerably higher than the average standards of the Milky Way, our modeling has projected that we will suffer a progressively greater shortage within the next ten to twenty years. The plain truth is that no matter what war strategy we adopt, we will suffer more loss of human life than we can replenish through natural childbirth and lengthy education."

The projection showed a timelapse of a possible scenario. It showed that the relentless alien invasions would steadily nibble at human colonies while also causing a lot of human forces to suffer serious attrition.

All of this was very bad news. Without enough manpower, how could red humanity muster up enough soldiers and workers to keep up the fight?

This was why the Polymath proposed a radical and previously unthinkable solution to this problem.

"My proposed solution aims to address this latent danger." She spoke with apparent confidence in her plan. "We must set up new facilities across human space where we can produce a large amount of batch humans. We possess the technology and the knowledge to cultivate trillions of artificially bom and raised humans based on special human gene templates. We only need to possess the willingness to resort to this solution."

Ves and a lot of people couldn't help but feel repulsed towards this idea. The entire notion of producing humans en masse as if they were nothing but factory commodities was profoundly disturbing. Only a small number of groups engaged in the practice, and the results were always less than stellar.
