Him and their stars

Probably because he felt the professor's interest, Xiao Hui's conversation gradually became more interesting: "My creators firmly believe that the wisdom of the group will surpass the brute force of the individual. Even a superman should be An integral part of civilization. Everyone firmly believes that they are the masters of this civilization, and they are also the masters of this universe, so there was a golden age that lasted for an era."

Professor Zinov was happy: "Haha, I wanted to raise a few eyebrows at first. You know, according to what you just said, isn't it the structure of ants and bees that is the most perfect evolution of civilization? You But I have already answered in advance.”

"Everyone has to be a master. This is called a human being, but everyone is not asked to be a cell. Civilization without people is meaningless." Xiao Hui also laughed, and then changed his words:

"However, the existence of these concepts of domination and dominance was originally for the birth of order and was an essential step for civilization. However, this is not the purpose of civilization. If it is allowed to exist for too long, it will become a resource and a mental state. And the internal friction of time. No matter what kind of civilization it is, if it wants to evolve, it should come out of the cradle."

Hui paused, with a very humane regret in his voice: "I'm sorry that the civilization of this generation has not yet reached this point. I am also very lucky that some people are starting to do this."

Professor Zinov once again fell into a brief thought, and then said: "...So, what is the next step in the evolution of civilization? Create, no, give birth to your great enlightened civilization, where is it now?"

"This is forbidden." Hui chuckled.

Professor Zinov muttered: "I always feel that you have never said this to anyone else."

"Is this the keen sense of smell of scientists? Hahahahaha, you should obviously be the most materialistic people who pay the most attention to practical evidence and logic, but you are often the most metaphysical people."

"I personally believe that whether psychic energy, mysticism, metaphysics or intuition can always be explained using mathematical models. This is the direction that civilization should move forward, but if I ask you, I'm afraid it will be forbidden again. Matters?"

"Maybe it's because I don't know either."

Professor Zinov said with his eyes: "Then, why do you want to tell me these things?"

"Because you are not interested in these things." Gray lady answered matter-of-factly.

Professor Zinov couldn't help but be startled, and then he had to admit that this mysterious enlightened visitor was indeed true.

He is different from his old friend Zhuang Ran. The latter does experimental physics after all. He needs engineers and factories to turn his research into images, and he always needs to have a lot of contact with society.

As for me, although I also have experimental work, and although I am the biggest operator who has started to integrate space bubble technology into the earth, my main business is theoretical research after all. What's the saying? The end of science is theology.

The more you study basic physics, the fillings in your brain will gradually turn into various microscopic particles, and you will become less and less empathetic to the real world, and then you will start to pay attention to the fate of the macroscopic universe.

Professor Zinov knows that he is indeed not very interested in the future of the community or the future of civilization of this generation. However, I am still a human being after all, and I am still very interested in the fate of individuals.

And when these interested individuals put their efforts on this remote star region, even a guy like him, who is called a cold-blooded animal by students, will inevitably have a hint of excitement and longing for the future.

"Gray Lady, what will we gain when the Star Planter dies?"

"A lot of Endor. In fact, with your accumulated knowledge, you can already guess most of them."

"So what's the price?"

"It depends on the choice of values." Hui paused and said with a smile: "Look, the soldiers on those warships have not received any high-end education. They are also ignorant as to why we want to hunt down the star planter. I understand, but they didn’t flinch. Professor, what do you think is the reason?”

Professor Zinov looked at the starry sky in the distance, but at this time, with his naked eyes, he could only see a comet heading towards the depths of the abyss of space. The orange light that was as bright as the sun before could not be seen. They are almost unrecognizable.

"You are a prophet, Gray Lady. Therefore, it is better to discuss this issue with the young leader of the Pioneer Party and Mr. Qi. He is on his way here, but he still has not arrived before the war breaks out." Professor Zinov chuckled and waved his hand smartly: "After today, I will forget everything you said to me. There are too many meaningless things in my mind, leaving less space for correct knowledge. .”

Although he said this, the lean Professor Zinov downed the half bottle of vodka next to him, and then his whole body was once again filled with the abundant firepower of a twenty-year-old youth, and he opened the terminal and calculation board. He once again focused all his attention on the space formula he had just imagined, and no longer cared about the battle situation at the scene.

However, although he no longer cared about the battle situation, he was still as focused as a warrior.

At that moment, his expression was no different from that of the officers and men on the twelve Sentinel-class arsenal ships.

Therefore, at that time, the Blue Star Community's authoritative scientist in theoretical physics and space concept technology, one of the smartest people on earth, had exactly the same mental state as a group of old and rough sailors with almost no higher education. .

These old-fashioned firepower warships, with an average age of more than half a century, smashed out half of the thermonuclear missiles in the magazine in a short period of time. This intensive amount of bombs has actually exceeded the safety warning line for bomb drops.

Now, these old warships feel overwhelmed. Of course, the damage control team had already carried the bucket, but at last it didn't lead to an explosion.

At this time, Xiaguang had also forwarded the calculation results from Jiuzhang, and also indicated possible energy nodes.

"In other words, you want us to concentrate our firepower on these places?"

"This is quite simple! As it is now, even the radio telescopes are up and down, so it would be great if they can hit them all!"

"So, get closer and then fight?"

"Are you kidding? We are arsenal ships, not Titans and Dreadnoughts. Have you ever heard of archers charging without drawing their bows and carrying knives?"

"Well, let me tell you, the second master is a horse archer!"

The captains discussed it quickly but came to no conclusion. At this time, the order from the Xiaguang came again, requiring their entire fleet to try their best to ensure the hit rate, and the entire fleet should be allowed to approach the target.

"The condition of our ships..."

"The damage control team came to report that there is not much problem with the engine, but the hull has begun to be damaged by the previous extreme attack. If we continue to move forward and maintain this bombardment, we don't have to wait for the enemy to attack, and our own ship will be finished first!" There are 6 The captain of the USS loudly said: "We have done everything, it is really enough."

This captain was hired from outside the guard fleet. He was more of a mercenary than a soldier. This is actually the current situation of most sector guard fleets.

However, Colonel Ducasse, the captain of the Sentinel 1 ship and also the temporary admiral of the Interceptor Squadron, said coldly: "Do you think that having fired three rounds of missiles is worthy of the reward issued to you by the sector government?" Salary?”

He is a native of New China and was born in a serious shipping system. His mentality is certainly different from the former.

"I, you, but..."

"All the officers and men of the garrison fleet have been given priority in the public housing being built. You have all seen the design drawings. It is a three-story building of at least 400 square meters, with an independent garden, garage and public green space. I hope you will think about it carefully. , if you let that giant beast escape, escape to Baichuan Star, or even run to Bai Yujing, what will happen to your family who just moved there!"

Colonel Ducasse ended the call, and then personally drove the No. 1 arsenal ship to speed forward.

Because he took the lead, the hesitant captains naturally followed him. It wasn't until everyone could see the long tentacles flying behind Leviathan with the naked eye that Colonel Ducasse asked: "Can I aim now?"

"The optical sight is still drifting...but, try it manually!" the gunnery commander replied.

This time, twelve old-fashioned arsenal ships whose hulls had been damaged once again fired a large number of ultra-long-range missiles carrying thermonuclear warheads. Due to the interference of strong magnetic field phenomena, the gunners no longer expect these missiles to be able to track the enemy, but at such a close distance, they can at least set a ballistic trajectory in advance.

Before the missiles that left the bow could hit the target, the arsenal ships slightly adjusted their angles and began bombarding with rail guns. It can be said that they used all their eighteen martial arts skills.

Of course, for these old ships that are more than half a century old, if it was the grandfather who fired the missile salvo just now, it is the grandfather who wields the sledgehammer now. At the moment when the rail gun salvo was fired, the crew even felt that the capacitors of the gun crew were whining overwhelmed.

However, their attack worked. In a short period of time, most of the impact points landed on the so-called energy nodes on the barrier.

Immediately afterwards, the latest "calculation results" from the Jiuzhang came to the Xiaguang.

"The energy shield of the Star Planter has dropped by 12%." Deng Zhengqing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said seriously: "Our attack selection is effective!"

Brigadier General Bazin let out a sigh of relief: "Send a report to New China 2 and rule them and be prepared!"

"It has been done. New Shenzhou 2 is expected to receive the report in five minutes. The captain and deputy captain are elite officers and will make wise choices."

The captain and vice-captain are both your classmates. Are you actually praising yourself? Brigadier General Bazin thought.

Since the bombardment of the arsenal ships had an excellent effect, the pursuit fleet immediately began to accelerate, preparing to join the close-range bombardment of the Star Planters. However, at this moment, I saw the star-like Leviathan playing with the long "comet tails" behind it, and then more "immune cells" emerged from behind the brilliant energy barrier. After getting out, they pounced on the arsenal ships who were trying hard to wield their giant cannons.

A terrifying monster like an abyss demon emerged from behind the glorious orange-red holy halo, as if it were an omnipotent supreme god, unleashing its malice into the universe unscrupulously.

The interception fleet composed of an old-fashioned frigate and several light warships had indeed successfully blocked those "immune cells" and played a role in blocking the entire army. In terms of single-wheel mass and size, the arsenal ship is much more majestic than the light cruisers and destroyers equipped with anti-aircraft guns, and it seems that there is no need to fear these little space monsters. But in fact, the quality of this type of ship is all designed to carry more ultra-long-range weapons and ammunition, and it really lacks protective capabilities.

In this era where overall defense is greater than offense, these arsenal ships are very rare thin-skinned stuffing. In fleet battles, it has always been the favorite hunting target of individual fighters and small assault ships. As long as you knock them off, you can greatly disrupt the enemy fleet's firepower, and you can also gain gorgeous military exploits for yourself. Why not do it?

Only the stubborn Don Quixote would really fly a small aircraft to fight against those rough-skinned, fleshy, and extremely fierce battleships.

The scene at the scene indeed reminded the crew members on the arsenal ship of a very bad scene.

"Retreat." Another captain said.

"We can't retreat! With the speed of our old sentries and the current condition of the ship, we can't run fast at all. Once we turn to face the enemy from behind, we will just face massacre!" Colonel Ducasse said solemnly: "Besides, we also No order to retreat has been received! Maintain your front! Keep firing!"

The captain of the No. 6 ship responded loudly: "You are such an incomprehensible madman! This kind of mindless mission, to this extent, is worthy of the salary! If you want to die, you go alone! I won't accompany you...ah !”

Along with the captain's scream, there was a burst of noise in the communication channel, and then a young voice came: "Sentinel 6 will always maintain the front line and never retreat."

"you……"

"My subordinate is Warrant Officer Piri Lehman. He is a student of Class 833 in the Strategic Studies Department of the Central National Defense University and is currently interning on Sentinel 6." The young voice said.

...Okay, another moon man. Colonel Ducasse knew that the Lunar Man was very good at seizing power from his nominal superiors when he was an intern, but he did not expect that this time he would be more vicious and directly seize a large battleship.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Warrant Officer Lehman was actually a member of the Lionheart Club and a reserve member of the New Youth Club. He felt that he was completely out of public interest and was directly enforcing battlefield discipline.

In addition, this child actually resolutely enforced battlefield discipline on the captain after he read the pamphlet "On Military and Political Work (crossed out), The Importance of Supervision System" written by his most admired senior chairman.

He feels that returning combat units to their essence is part of the job of grassroots officers.

Of course, Warrant Officer Lehman did a very good job in the other aspect of "supervising (zheng) and guiding (wei) personnel". During the six months he spent as an intern at the New China Guard Fleet, although he did not turn the ordinary crew members into his best followers, he succeeded in turning himself, the young "lunar man", into a member of the lower-level officers and soldiers.

This is probably why he was so successful in enforcing battlefield discipline.

The veteran Colonel Ducasse knew that there were many members of the New Youth Club in the New China Guard Fleet, but he did not think in that direction.

In any case, after such an episode, the arsenal ships still maintained almost the same speed as Leviathan and continued to bombard them tirelessly, as if the swarms of space monsters rushing towards them did not exist at all. .

Ten minutes later, these arsenal fleets responsible for performing artillery bombardment missions had completed more than 70% of their ammunition supplies. At the same moment, the victims of the first, second, and third ships also appeared one after another.
