Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

Under the ultra-high speed of 62km/s, the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers is only a few minutes-in the Great Rupert Country, this is a terrifying speed that can only be achieved by extremely expensive interstellar missiles. The strategic weapon assistance that can only be obtained when fighting near the core star field.

But here, in this backward civilization that seems to them to be industrially stretched, they see powerful weapons that have not even appeared in themselves, or even in the entire known star field.

Yes, even though they were reluctant to admit it in their hearts, they still couldn't deny that this weapon was extremely powerful, and it had even reached the status of a main battle weapon.

Relying on their performance, combined with their strategic deception and their aggressiveness, these cat people (they analyzed from the literal meaning of the cat alliance) finally resolved all the many crushing advantages they originally had, and pulled the two sides together. to the same level.

As a people of the Great Rupo Country, they hate those who can formulate such a plan and develop weapons with such performance-but as a person, they have to admit that for those who rely on technology and tricks in the huge People who are disadvantaged and level the gap have some admiration in their hearts.

It's just that, whether it's admiration or resentment, these are just some moving organic self-talk in the starship.

They can change a lot.

Nothing can be changed.

After the first missile successfully approached to a distance of about [-] kilometers from the nearest warship, finally, the first intercepting laser streaked across the starry sky, separating the huge hull of the battleship from the super-fast approaching warship. The slender missiles were connected.

The moment to decide the fate of the fleet has arrived.

"Air defense battery, fire freely!"

PS1: Note 1: The author finally found a way to quickly type the character "Δ", which can be expressed directly with "Δv", which should be more intuitive for everyone (I remember the concept of speed increment learned in high school, right? )

PS2: Yesterday, because the author wanted to adjust his schedule, he didn't get up in the middle of the night to code, but postponed the chapter by a day, so this chapter is a normal update on the 20th, and then it will be updated before 22 am on the 6nd. The first chapter is a normal update on the 21st (because the cat station is counted as a day until [-] o'clock the next day), but if there is no accident, it should be coded around five or six in the afternoon.

Volume 266 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] Twinkle Twinkle Shiny~

Almost in two or three seconds, all Lupers warships started their all-out anti-aircraft fire output.

The hot laser shot by the laser lens across the starry sky, constantly hitting the head armor of these missiles, trying to punch a big hole of kinetic energy enough to completely disable it; the small but high-speed electromagnetic shells fly horizontally with kinetic energy In this vast space, a series of barrages formed a line of defense made of metal, trying to block these terrifying things from their fleet.

But soon, they discovered a very bad thing.

"The interception efficiency is much lower than expected..." Looking at the returned parameters, almost all the air defense commanders on the warships seemed very anxious, "Why are these missiles so hard!"

Originally, they thought that although these missiles were very fast, they would not have any obvious gap with them in terms of survivability-after all, in terms of technology, the Great Rupert Kingdom is still in a leading position, even if there is not much laser light Compared with the technology of missiles, there is no big gap between them and the Cat League.

Besides, the size of the opponent's missile does not seem to exceed the standard, it is only slightly longer than the missile they used, and the missile body is also relatively slender, which proves that its armor cannot be too thick.

Therefore, for a long time, whether it is the estimation of the decision-making level at the strategic level or the calculation of the interception of warships at the tactical level, it is basically based on their missiles and an additional 30-50% of the protection is used as an assumption.

In their opinion, this number is already given very high - they would rather because the numerical prediction is too high, so that they find that they are not so strong in real battles, and they are not willing to perform calculations because the numerical prediction is too low. The situation that can be handled in China cannot be handled.

The latter is more deadly than the former.

However, what they never expected was that, in their opinion, they had already given a very high price, and the superb data given with the attitude of "I would rather believe it than believe it" was actually worse than the real data many!

According to the original estimate, their situation is very bad, and they may only be able to run away after losing both sides with the Cat League. What will happen if they find that the protection of these missiles is much better than imagined, and the combat effect is much stronger? Woolen cloth?

they do not know.

Because now they have no time to think about this.

In their minds today, there is only one thought——

"Fire with all your might!"

Following the orders of the air defense commanders of the ships, all kinds of firepower concentrated on these flying objects flying at a high speed of 62 kilometers per second, preparing to bring a little surprise to their targets.

Of course, the target might not be too happy to accept the gift - but so what?

Anyway, giving a gift doesn't say that the recipient must agree, does it?

Under the anxious eyes of everyone, the forward of the missile group crossed the 1500-kilometer range line, which meant that the opponent's missiles had already passed half of the air defense area, and there was not much time left for them.

However, in the past half of the time, they have hardly been able to destroy many missiles-the hardness of these missiles is really far beyond their imagination, and their seemingly ordinary head armor is actually so hard that people doubt life. The new generation of intercepting lasers they put on the battleship at a high cost are undoubtedly toys in front of it.

So far, Lupers has not found a case of being able to penetrate the frontal armor of its head and directly destroy an enemy missile-whether it is a laser or a shell.

Most of the destruction reports are from the side attack, avoiding the opponent. So far, I don't even know the approximate thickness. I only know that it is a very thick and very hard powerful head armor-in fact, this is still a suggestion made by the AI. .

However, Lupers did not adopt this tactic on a large scale, nor did there appear to be a quick and comprehensive order from the top to tell them that they should try to attack from the side.

It's not that they are unaware of the advantages of this tactic, but anyone who can calm down and think about it, analyze the collected data and the sharing provided by the friendly side, and immediately realize that the hard head armor of this missile determines It is almost impossible to be intercepted from the front - at least not to be penetrated from the front by their level of air defense.

Even if there is no automated command operation controlled by AI, it is impossible to integrate the air defense network of the entire fleet like the cat alliance "the whole fleet is one", and the air defense network of the entire fleet can be integrated to take care of each other's air defense, but the effect will definitely be better than now This kind of everyone subconsciously followed the old way of thinking, staring at the missiles targeting themselves, but ignoring those missiles that were in the distance and exposed to the side due to angle problems.

After all, in their experience, the farther away the target laser is, the weaker it is. At the same time, the degree of coordination and integrated command required for side tracking and joint defense are very high, and the current Lupers technology has not reached this level. .

Therefore, even if they know that the side armor of the missile must be weaker than the head (this is a common characteristic of all missiles), they will only point the warhead at them according to those missiles, and prepare to rush over and hug them to hell The missiles hit hard.

Fear of death is certainly there, but the real dominant reason is that they don’t know that it’s wrong to do so—this is the Great Ruper Kingdom, not those existences such as the Chien Empire. Their army may have many problems, but there is absolutely It does not include sacrificing the interests of the collective because of fear of death.

The root of everything lies in time.

They lack time.

The time left for them by the missiles is too short. The distance of 62 kilometers is nothing more than a small ditch that can be easily crossed in just 50 seconds in front of the ultra-high-speed missiles that are traveling at [-] kilometers per second. .

From discovering something is wrong, to judging the cause, to finding a targeted solution, and then notifying the entire fleet to fight in accordance with the new method, this is fine for omnics, but for ordinary organic civilizations that are mainly organisms. In other words, it is almost impossible to do so many things in just 50 seconds.

The vast majority of air defense commanders can only realize the first step, a few elite commanders can go to the second step, and very few commanders with extremely sharp thinking can go to the third step-but none of them Exceptions, all stop before the fourth step.

They couldn't notify the entire fleet.

They didn't even have time to let the decision-makers of the fleet know the news-the time was too short, and in this extremely short time, they were not free people doing nothing, but were doing their best to command the air defense, with the intention of The air defense commander who blocked the opponent's missile attack as much as possible is the busiest group of people in the entire fleet within a few tens of seconds.

The only thing they can do is to shout out their decisions, and ask the captain to inform the other members of the battleship squad as much as possible, and see if they can tell the captains of other battleships in the squad to their air defense commanders in time, and then let the captain Their air defense commander executes the corresponding strategy.

The rest is up to fate.

Looking at the several red inverted triangle marks that are approaching the battleship he is on, looking at the rapidly shrinking distance data above, and looking at their missile interception rate that is far lower than expected, the air defense commander suddenly feels that everything is very boring .

I traveled thousands of miles to this distant galaxy, and fought with a civilization that was negotiating friendly with them and hoping to coexist peacefully, but in the end I found that the clown was myself.

The giant laser shaft cannon with super long range, the nuclear anti-ship missile with terrifying performance, the powerful strategic ferry ship, the combined punch of range warp speed and warp speed interruption, plus a group of insidious and cunning cat allies, everything is the same. They all seem to be pressing their self-righteous big Rupert country against the wall and slapping each other more and more painful.

Especially this missile, and others can comfort themselves with different technological routes, different needs, good luck, etc., or fool themselves.

Forgive him for being blunt, he can't even imagine how the other party can make the nuclear thermal engine soar to such a performance-such a high specific impulse means that the core temperature of the other party's missile must be 9 times higher than what they know. ~10km/s specific impulse missiles are much higher. After all, for nuclear thermal thrust missiles, or almost all working fluid propulsion engines, the temperature of the core can basically be equivalent to the specific impulse.

The nuclear propulsion is higher than the conventional chemical engine, so the specific impulse of the former is twice that of the latter, and the fusion reactor can reach more than [-] million degrees, so its specific impulse can be described as "how many percent of the speed of light".

The fusion reactor is confined by the magnetic field, and it is precisely because the temperature is too high that indirectly makes it extremely difficult to increase the thrust of the fusion engine—and in their cognition, by letting the working fluid flow through the fission state The nuclear heat engine that the core expands and ejects with heat absorption, how to do this?

At this temperature, what kind of core can withstand such a terrifying high temperature while still maintaining its structural stability and ensuring that its mechanical properties still meet the needs of nuclear thermal propulsion?

How did they do that.

He didn't know, after all, he was just an ordinary air defense commander.

But as an air defense commander, he also knows one thing very clearly.

They are dead.

At least, their battleship, which is located in the outer circle of the fleet and is exactly in the direction of the strongest offensive of the first wave of missiles, is dead.

Looking at the red inverted triangle logo on the screen that was only one step away from his teammates and himself, but the number had decreased by less than 10% from the beginning, he smiled dumbly, and took off the tactical headset on his head and threw it aside.

There is nothing left to work on.

They are dead.

The fleet is also doomed.

Collapsing on the seat, looking at the red and black outline on the wall, like an open eye, representing the leader's logo, he suddenly had a strong impulse in his heart.

So, in this small room, he uttered the last words of his life.

"Great Rupert Country."

"fku."

Almost in the next second, the flames of the nuclear explosion engulfed the small air defense command room, and even the entire huge warship weighing 150 million tons.

This is the first hard battle loss of the Great Rupert Country under the missile offensive.

But it will never be the last.

This wave of blows has only just begun.

...

"Mom, Mom." Looking at the constantly twinkling starry sky on the TV screen, the little girl took her hand and asked very curiously, "Is this space?"

"Yes~" The young Jeffery female rubbed her face, and said with a smile, "This is space, mom will take you to see it later~"

"Well." The little girl said half-understanding, "But, I remember Teacher Hong said that real stars don't actually twinkle? I remember saying that it was caused by atmospheric disturbances, refraction, etc. , so that we on the ground seem to be flickering..."

"Now you teach this in kindergarten?!"

Mom was surprised.

If this continues, will elementary schools have to teach orbital mechanics and calculus?

Is it all so curly now? !

"Oh, no." The little boy shook his head, "I asked Teacher Hong in private, and she patiently explained it to me for a long time."

"Oh, I was taken aback."

She patted her chest lightly - but she also knew that with Hong's philosophy, it was impossible for her to act in a way that would encourage others, even if orbital mechanics and calculus were really taught in elementary school, it must be because she did not give these Under the premise of the pressure of the children, let them master all the pre-requisite subjects, and only teach them when they "should learn these things".

Maomeng is not the kind of extreme technology cultist. Although their scientific atmosphere is also very strong, it is all based on Maomeng's core concept of "people-oriented".

It is counterproductive and uses various means to force people to accept overloaded "science education", such as forcibly teaching nuclear fission in elementary schools, which is completely contrary to the ideals of the Maoming League.

Technology serves people, not people serve technology.

"So, why do these stars shine, mother." The little boy took her hand and asked doubtfully, "Aren't these stars?"

She didn't suspect that Teacher Hong had taught her wrongly—even the children in Maomeng's kindergarten now have a certain understanding of Hong's life form, and those who are stupid at least know that she is a smart person who lives in these places. The "human" in the computer, and those who have more knowledge even know that Hong's specific life form is "mechanical intelligence".

But no matter how much they understand, they all understand one thing - the possibility of Hong making mistakes is almost zero.

Therefore, with her logical ability, she can easily think that these twinkling things are probably not stars.

"Yes, these are not stars."

She smiled and patted the cub's head, which made the cub's ears tremble, making him look very cute.

"Then what are these?"

"These..."

She turned her head, looked at the twinkling 'stars' on the screen, and squinted her eyes involuntarily while rubbing Zai Zai.

"These are masterpieces that your mother participated in."

PS: The electricity was cut off for a day and a night. There was no electricity or water. I went up and down the 26th floor three times to charge my phone and buy water. In addition, the temperature was almost 40 degrees and there was no air conditioning. The cat was tired.

Take a break and continue to add updates tomorrow!

Volume Four Industry and Power: Chapter 267 The Sky Is Full of Small Nuclear Bombs (6/34)

Little stars.

The raging flames.

The flashes of nuclear weapons are constantly lighting up in this huge fleet, and the azure light almost fills up this star field - looking at it from a distance, the bright light when the nuclear bomb exploded flashes and flashes, it looks like As if the stars are really blinking.

A star is nuclear fusion, and a nuclear bomb is also nuclear fusion, rounded up, nuclear bomb = star.

So reasonable!

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Great Rupert Country is simply unable to resist the red full-scale missile attack. It is reasonable to say that such a wave of attacks, let alone the Great Rupert Country, which ignores air defense and has poor laser weapon technology, you can let the Cat League fight against it. Very laborious.

Don't look at the fact that these missiles have reduced the mass by 20% while using a gaseous core with higher volume and mass, thinking that they have shrunk in protection-on the contrary, these missiles, which are lighter than before, have The defense ability is much stronger than before.

This is mainly due to the reverse research on the two ancient civilized battleships No. 2945 and Cai... Caili. Even if it is impossible for Hong to directly copy other people's armor technology in one step, just learning a little bit is enough to make Hong has built several bricks above her own skill level.

In addition, Hong has also developed a set of fast-acting external armor kits with good effects, and a set of external working fluid kits-if you really want to face an opponent with particularly strong anti-aircraft firepower, Red can add more to it at the cost of increasing the cost. Strong protection, and at the same time, the external working fluid can cover the decrease of Δv caused by the increase of dry weight and the decrease of dry mass ratio.

The missile is a very flexible weapon. It can use a standard model with balanced performance to fight against a normal level of civilization. It can rely on mass-produced kits and then be supplied by engineering ships without going back to the factory for anti-work. The way it is installed to improve its performance - the most important of which is this "no rework".

This means that Hong can freely produce standard missiles for the fleet without worrying that it will not be able to keep up with the situation due to changes in the strength of the opponent, resulting in poor direct use effect, high cost and troublesome process for returning to the factory to rework. embarrassment.

Such as the Great Rupert Country.
