The combination of Virtual Reality and remote-control technology could indeed, in theory, make the myth of a war with zero casualties a reality.
"But do you have enough remote-controlled robots for our soldiers to operate? You'd probably need millions of them, wouldn't you?" someone present questioned. Naturally, they were also probing for information.
"Based on the number of soldiers currently serving on Earth, our inventory is more than sufficient."
Everyone sucked in a sharp breath. The figures stunned them. In other words, the other side already possessed an army of over a million robots? That would probably be enough to steamroll any medium-sized nation!
Of course, what they didn't know was that the actual number might be even greater than they imagined. As for their size, though...
"But if remote-controlled machines are used on such a large scale, what happens if their communications are jammed...?" The Secretary of Defense raised a technical question.
"Anti-jamming communications technology is one of our technological strengths. So far, we have found no indication that the enemy possesses technology capable of cutting off our communications."
Everyone exchanged glances. To maintain a technological advantage even against an interstellar civilization-the Ghost Captain's power once again upended everything they thought they knew.
The Secretary of Defense fell into thought. It seemed the warship the Ghost Captain had obtained very likely came from an even more advanced civilization! Otherwise, even the Ghost Captain couldn't possibly feel confident about taking on an entire civilization with a single warship, could he?
He looked around. Everyone wore thoughtful expressions. Clearly, the Ghost Captain's mercenary arrangement and miraculous tactical technology had already tempted many nations.
Their soldiers would be completely safe. All they had to do was put on a helmet and fight as though playing a game, earning pay they could exchange
