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

The heat sink that was originally located here has long since disappeared, leaving only the broken circuit and the rapidly leaking coolant that draws a beautiful arc in space.Although the opponent quickly closed the corresponding valve, it can be expected that this round of shooting caused the battleship to lose at least one-third of its heat dissipation capability—or simply, one-third of its combat capability.

Without heat dissipation, it is difficult for warships to even keep their engines working, let alone fire. This is because Ai-star warships focus on single-ship high-combat power, and are generally larger than Catus warships, and they are also more resistant to beating.

If it were Hong who ate this round of lasers by himself, he would probably be blown off half of the heat sink.

However, this is just the beginning.

"Start the engine, idle state."

"Maomao single-handedly pushes the human level, unfold all cooling panels!"

Around the battleship, the cooling panels folded on the surface of the hull began to slowly expand under the mechanical drive. From a distance, the huge white panel looked like a swan soaring, revealing the previously covered, clinging Armored radiator grille.A huge amount of waste heat is radiated into the vast universe, like a fire in winter, which is eye-catching.

In order to dissipate heat for the huge power free electron laser and prevent excessive waste heat from affecting the power and rate of fire of the main gun, Hong had to adopt this multiple cooling system with relatively low efficiency and exaggerated consumables, but she spent so much Thought, its effect is also immediate.

"With a salvo, destroy a Yeshen-class beauty!"

"The No. 6 Tyrant-class ship of Jihuo is a bit unmovable, so turn the fire and take away a beautiful Ye Shen!"

"Enemy missiles are coming, don't care about them, focus the fire and take away the Ye Shen class, it's beautiful in one shot!"

The six single-pushers keep their ears off the window, and only focus on the Ye Shen class. The output of these cheap missile ships is extremely exaggerated, but the protection is very poor. , is the best target.

"boom!"

Under the irradiation of laser light, a huge fireball exploded from the tail of a Yeshen class—maybe it hit some key part, or the explosion-proof door was not closed. This Yeshen is not like its predecessors. It's just a simple loss of combat ability, but turned into a dazzling flash that can be observed on the entire battlefield.

"It's really powerful to have a nuclear bomb blow yourself up."

Hong expressed his admiration for this. From single-handed contact with the enemy to the present, the Aixing fleet has lost 5 ships, 2 ships have been severely damaged, and 19 ships have completely lost their combat capabilities.As for Ai Xing's warship, she hadn't touched her fleet yet, but instead blew up one of her own ships—in this regard, Hong Gan bowed down.

However, there is a limit to unilateral free whoring after all. It is not easy to reduce the opponent's staff by one-tenth before the war. Next, it is the real head-to-head link.

"Warning! The heavy interstellar missile has entered the ring card orbit, retrograde orbit! The relative speed is 8.6 kilometers per second, and the orbital altitude is 52600 kilometers. Collision warning! Estimated intersection time, 23 minutes."

"Warning! The second round of missiles of the enemy fleet has been detected, the number is 1820; the relative distance is 5500 kilometers; the current relative speed is 1.2 kilometers per second; the expected intersection time is 23 minutes."

"Warning! The third round of missiles of the enemy fleet has been detected, the number is 1150; the relative distance is 5400 kilometers; the current relative speed is 1.1 kilometers per second; the expected intersection time is 22 minutes."

"It has entered the effective range of the enemy's laser ship, and has been irradiated by high-energy laser! Maomao pushed the No. 14 ship alone, and the 16th and [-]th sections were damaged, and the heat dissipation board was destroyed."

"Auto damage control enabled."

A series of warnings immediately appeared before Hong's eyes.

Two waves of ship-borne missile cover, a round of interstellar missile breakthrough, and at the same time the laser ship began to output crazily—an unusually classic tactic, but it has to be admitted that it is very effective.

It is impossible to let go of the heavy interstellar missiles launched from Aixing. There are dozens of nuclear warheads with an equivalent of [-] or even a million tons inside. Even if only one breaks through the air defense network, it will cause huge losses.Therefore, the red must be dealt with emphatically, but the heads of these missiles are specially treated with thickened armor, and it is difficult to destroy them at long distances.

But if you wait for a closer distance, another problem will appear-shipborne missiles have also come, although their penetration speed is much lower than those of heavy interstellar missiles that have been accelerated for a long time, but their warheads It is still a nuclear bomb, even if it is detonated a few kilometers away, it can effectively destroy the surface equipment of the battleship.

Obviously, none of them can be let go, but if all the laser firepower is invested on the anti-missile, the opponent's laser ship can fire unscrupulously and remove the cooling plate of the own fleet-the rate of fire of the battleship that loses cooling ability will drop rapidly , leading to loopholes in air defense firepower; if part of the firepower is allocated to attack enemy warships, the probability of enemy missile penetration will increase.

This is an endless loop, a conspiracy.

"The engine is working at full power, ready to climb to an orbital altitude of 54000 kilometers!"

"Armed space station, No. 1, No. 2, No. 5, No. 6, change orbit to the orbit of the enemy fleet, the orbital elements are as follows...; No. 3, No. 4, No. 7, maintain the current orbit, air defense posture, intercept enemy ships Carry missiles."

"All laser turrets follow the fleet's trajectory and open fire freely."

The fleet began to change orbit, and tons of working fluid in the external working medium tank were pumped in, heated by the hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma in the reactor, and they began to expand, burn, and eject.While taking away the temperature accumulated by the laser, it pushed the heavy hull weighing tens of thousands of tons, and began to maneuver with an acceleration of up to 0.1G.

This is already a terrifying speed. In order to achieve this acceleration, Hong chose to inject a large amount of working fluid into the reactor, in exchange for high thrust at the cost of reducing the exhaust speed, and shortened the fleet's orbit change time.

Not many people have seen the scene of more than 200 warships changing orbits at the same time. Countless rays of light erupted from the back of the silver-white hull, and the uniform tail flames seemed to flash across the eternal black background of space. The shooting stars in the night sky are generally eye-catching.

The reason why it took a lot of DV to change the orbit is also very simple. In the air battles of the old era, the fighter that bit at 6 o'clock always had an advantage over the one that was bitten, and the same is true in space.After a period of sudden acceleration, the red fleet changed from the oblique rear of the enemy fleet to a position close to the rear.

For a battleship with an axial gun design, facing the enemy means that the engine of the ship is covered by the huge hull, and a large number of cooling plates are also blocked behind. The shaft gun with the most powerful output is aimed at the enemy, and it is no longer necessary to adjust the attitude frequently to aim at it—and the opponent must make a 180-degree turn to form a forward-facing attitude in order to let the bow of the ship face the enemy.

Although the artillery is balanced, the maneuverability has suffered a lot. It can be said that it is the best posture to meet the enemy in exchange for dv-because the opponent cannot adopt the same trajectory change.They have no supplies, and they come from a long distance. It is impossible to compare with the Red Fleet, which is waiting for work and resting on the planet.If dv is really wasted on seizing a favorable position, there is no other possibility other than being consumed by red alive.

This is also an overt conspiracy—a space war is generally like this. The tactics on both sides are very obvious, very direct, and undisguised, but there is no way to crack it.

The moment after the track change was completed, Hong gave the order to counterattack.

"Our own interstellar missiles have entered the predetermined orbit, and all ship-borne missiles are launched!"

"Victory belongs to Catus!"

Thank you for the two spicy sticks.

In other words, if anyone reads this book, please say something.

Volume 7 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] First Contact

The distance between the fleets of the two sides is getting closer and closer. At first, only the red cats and cats can fire, and then there are a few large warships of the enemy, and then there are high-power fiber lasers on some small ships-until now , both sides have entered the best range of the other side.

"boom!"

As the firepower density of both sides continued to decline, finally, the first nuclear warhead capable of directly hitting the enemy ship appeared.

Endless light and heat were released from the small projectile, and the hundreds of meters long hull was broken, shredded, and vaporized in the face of the fusion force, like a mantis arm blocking a car.The solid armor was quickly transformed into a mass of scrap copper and rotten iron, high-temperature plasma raged rampantly in the ship, and some relatively strong components sprouted the idea of ​​"the world is so big, I want to see it", carrying a huge The kinetic energy of the scatter was scattered and became a carefree piece of space junk in orbit.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for a nuclear bomb to cause such damage-because the power of the laser will become higher and higher as the distance shortens. It may take more than ten seconds to intercept a nuclear bomb five thousand kilometers away, but to intercept one It only takes two or three seconds to get it done one hundred kilometers away.

Therefore, most of the time, nuclear bombs do not pursue direct implosion, but choose to explode far away, use light radiation, heat radiation, nuclear radiation and other means to kill, destroy the fragile equipment on the surface of the battleship, and survive as a battleship. Lifeline heat sink.

However, in space, if you want to truly and completely destroy a warship, neither lasers nor shells can do it. Only the implosion of a nuclear bomb can do it.And this battleship, which was covered in bruises and unable to keep up with the maneuvering of the large army, was the best target.

"The sixth enemy Tyrant-class ship has been destroyed!"

It was the first flagship-class warship to be destroyed on the battlefield.

But this is just the beginning.

"The enemy Tyrant-class No. [-] ship is broken, and the target is changed to Tyrant-class No. [-] ship."

"Formation No. 12, all warships are incapable of combat and withdraw from the battle order."

"The third wave of interstellar missiles is about to arrive, and the priorities are being planned..."

As a machine intelligence, she is inherently better than any organic creature in multi-thread processing, and the powerful computing power and telescopes all over the orbit endow it with the ability to see the whole situation.Therefore, even if she is located under a thousand-meter-deep rock formation, she can still perform perfect micro-manipulation on the front line.

She is a master in the field of micromanipulation, and no one can match her. Things like moving the machine gun position forward 50 meters are not worth mentioning to her-she can even control the working time of every attitude control engine in the entire fleet, and it is accurate to 0.01 seconds.

It was also rare that Xier did not seek Hong's hug, but sat in front of the computer screen, watching the live broadcast that Hong provided her with concentration.

"Come on, Red!"

She clenched her collar tightly, and flicked her tail back and forth—even if she hadn't personally experienced the battlefield, just looking at the silent pictures captured by the shipboard cameras was enough to arouse her inner belligerence.In the entire battlefield, the most eye-catching existence is the flagship battleship of the two fleets.

The red Maomao single pusher class and the enemy's Tyrant class are fiercely tearing each other between two giant axis gunships.

"Fort posture, start to discard heat!"

Seeing the continuous loss of heat sinks, Hong immediately gave an order to rapidly cool down the battleship by discarding heat. He would rather lose quality than slow down the rate of fire of the main guns.This is the decisive moment of the battle, and whoever stops will die.

"呲-"

The cooling medium tank stored at low temperature is connected to the heat dissipation module to alleviate the tremendous heat brought by the laser operating at full power. Nitrogen is sprayed on the pipes to bring the temperature, which is almost bursting, back to a safe value.

However, after the cooling working medium tank connected to the heat dissipation module has absorbed enough heat, Hong did not send the working medium into the heat dissipation plate to cool down as usual-this will only further increase the pressure on the heat dissipation system. A trick that has been tried and tested since ancient times.

"Solve the problem.

It doesn't matter if it is too late to dissipate heat, as long as the heated working fluid is not in the hull, the temperature will naturally drop.

This is the abandonment of thermal mass. Once the thermal mass is discarded, it means that the warship has entered the period of time when the firepower is the strongest. The thermal mass is limited. After throwing it away, it can only continue to wait for the cooling plate to dissipate heat slowly as before. , but before polishing, this battleship is the most beautiful cub on the battlefield.

"Overload power, maximum rate of fire!"

Compared with the long-range laser "sniper" that has undergone attenuation and diffraction for tens of thousands of kilometers before, and its power has dropped extremely seriously, the firepower of the current Maomao single-push human-level firepower has increased by more than ten times, and the distance of only [-] kilometers is not enough to stop it. The high-energy electron accelerator driven by the fusion reactor can blow off the heavy armor of the Tyrant class with every shot, and open a big hole in the hull—but the opponent is not much worse.

This is a hand-to-hand fight, and the boat is simply unable to participate in the battlefield.

"The No. 87 Maomao single pusher class ship has lost 28% of its external cooling panels. It is estimated that the armored integrated cooling grille and thermal mass can still maintain the highest power for [-] minutes, after which the power will have to be reduced to ensure continuous output. "

"Ship No. [-] was irradiated by a nuclear warhead at close range, and the starboard radiator was completely extinguished, so it switched to the secondary battery to shoot."

Several nuclear bombs passed through the sparse air defense network in succession, and the latest one was even pasted to 5000 meters from No. One of the heat dissipation devices—to make matters worse, the armor-integrated heat dissipation grill that had survived due to angle problems was also completely lost in this exposure.

Not surprisingly, the No. [-] ship, with only the port cooling grill and a small number of cooling plates left, will become the first flagship battleship of our side to withdraw from the battle.

"Red, how are you doing now?"

Xier asked nervously.

"Currently, we still have 93 warships with more combat capabilities, including 5 cat-mao single pusher class ships, 34 peninsula-class upgraded ships, and Xiaoyue-class upgraded 54 ships; 20 battleships with 50-29% combat power , 20 warships with less than 4% combat power, 74 ships completely lost their combat capabilities, and 51 ships were destroyed."

"What about the other party?"

"The 62 ships retain more combat power, 6 Tyrant-class ships, 56 Knight-class ships, and 7 Yeshen-class missile ships are all empty, and they are considered incapable of combat."

"What is the winning percentage?"

"It has risen from 74% before the war to 93%."

"Great." Xi'er patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "Come on, you are the best!"

"understand!"

There are many good news on the front line, and the beauty in the back is sitting in her arms (forced), Hong feels that she is full of strength at this moment.

If nothing else, I will win for you, for Katus.

Hong thought so——unfortunately, things don't always go smoothly as planned.

"Warning! Unknown ship found, 3600 kilometers away!"

At the next moment when the enemy Tyrant-class No. [-] ship was nuclear-exploded, without any warning, an extremely huge... spaceship appeared on the flanks of the fleets of both sides.

Said it was a spaceship, because Hong didn't find anything that looked like a weapon on its surface, the heat dissipation device was also very sparse, and there was basically no armor.In addition, compared with the slender and compact warships that try to reduce the projected area, this spaceship gives people a feeling of fullness, thin skin and big stuffing.

However, it is really big.

"A huge ship with a long axis of 1.3 kilometers, but this design is too..." After just a few glances with a telescope, Hong saw several extremely backward and extremely inefficient designs, "It's too rubbish Alright."

"The shell is full of holes, did this just escape from the battlefield?"

After confirming that the opponent was not threatening and could not affect the situation of the battle, Hong was relieved at first, but a question followed.

How did this spaceship have superluminal technology that she didn't even grasp, or even think about?

She couldn't figure it out, but she knew what the consequences would be if she appeared in the line of fire between the two armies at this point in time—the fleet controlled by automatic programs on the opposite side would not be able to distinguish enemies like Hong, and for the sudden It will only have one reaction to an unknown spaceship that appears on the flank of the fleet.

"Hope you're okay."

Volume 8 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] Jeffrey and Farsati

"...Captain, hurry up..."

"...captain..."

"captain!"

"hiss!"

Glock snapped his eyes open.

The violent vibration, the flames of the explosion, the screams of the crew members who were sucked out when the cabin lost pressure, countless memories flooded into its mind in an instant, causing its face to twitch non-stop. Passing the vomit bag kept the rainbow from running rampant in this cabin.

"Aren't we dead?" After spitting out the rainbow for a while, Glock finally calmed down the feeling of nausea, "How is the situation outside? Has the support from the Federation Fleet arrived?"

It raised its head, wiped its mouth with a towel, and asked.

"There may not be any Federation fleet anymore." The adjutant poked his head out of the passage on the floor with a serious face, "Compared to this, Glock, you may need to come and take a look."

Hearing this, Glock's heart tightened. Has the Federal Fleet abandoned them?

Without the support of the Federation Fleet, they would have no choice but to surrender. After all, this is just a transport ship. How could the firepower on it compare with that of a serious battleship?Treason or something is still far from fate.

While it was thinking about how to surrender to show that it "considered the overall situation", it quickly came to the bridge along the passage.

"So how do you cast...grass, what is it?"

What is shown on the screen is not the black muzzle of the imperial battleship, nor the domineering ugly face of Fasati, but two fleets, two huge fleets that are firing fiercely at each other, and the huge fleets are about to knock out the dog's brains—Gods above, The number of fleets alone is more than the combined empire and federation!

"So, am I still awake? That's great."

It muttered a few words to itself, felt the slight shaking of the floor under its feet, grabbed its hair that was tangled with blood, and pulled it hard.

Well, it looks like it's not a dream, it's just time travel... Shit!
