The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"But speaking of it, everyone seized this opportunity."

"Chance?"

"Yeah, promoting victory to increase national happiness, self-confidence, etc. can make society more stable, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and young people who are inspired will join the army with enthusiasm, which is very good Good." She analyzed while opening the door of the shuttle, two cats rubbed her legs and walked into the shuttle, lying on the chair and waiting for someone to fasten the seat belt, "But we don't have these problems."

"Eh?"

"What we mean is that we don't need to think about those complicated issues. After winning the battle, we will distribute money, take vacations, have singing parties, carnivals, and then devote all our enthusiasm to the next battle."

"It's like a pirate in a storybook!"

"Actually, there is no difference." Oregana shrugged, pointing to the two big cats lying on the chair and making a meowing sound. Reasonably, their postures were not like cats at all. It’s more like a parrot, next time I ask Haitu to borrow her owl and try it.”

"Be careful of being eaten by Serval Cat Sauce!"

"I won't eat it!"

Just when the two were joking, a communication came in suddenly. It was the aviation dispatcher of the Star City Port Authority——

[General Commander, this is the Port Affairs Department. The Final Yan World is undergoing departure procedures, but we have not received a notification that the super flag is out today, and there is no response to the call to Final Yan World. 】

"Oh...has he set off?" Oregana raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, Big Tech is going to perform a temporary mission."

[The port department received it, and the air traffic control was lifted. 】The air dispatcher didn't make any talkative inquiries, he saluted and immediately carried out the departure procedures meticulously.

During this period of time, there have been frequent battles, and countless heads have been obtained. The one on the brass throne must be very happy.The Sickle of War's past report this time should also bring back some praise.

The legion commander is so convinced at the moment.

------------

The Final World is moored in the gap between time and space. The Scythe of War does not wear any space survival equipment. It only wears a windbreaker and stands on the bow of the Final World, facing the glowing bubble that seems to never see the edge. Bubbles.Compared with it, any bubble array at the star gate is eclipsed...

Well, Bubble Array shouldn't be compared with Yogg Sothos at all.

'I see your choice, very wise.It would be a meaningless choice to fight to the end with that fleet regardless.There is no point in spending your precious fleet fighting the undead. '

The densely packed bubbles are shaking and moving all the time, and the bubbles that are full of eyes are actually moving non-stop. If you keep staring at it, it seems that your thinking will melt in it, just like these things are integrated.In the vibration, the bubbles talked to the war scythe with light, shadow, and muddy, almost indistinguishable mid-head voice.

But War Scythe didn't care, he didn't worry about going crazy at all:

"Sure enough, is that a 'dead' civilization?"

'That's right, that civilization used to be very prosperous, and there are many such civilizations existing in various universes,' a feeling of regret came from my mind' but not many persisted. '

"Why?" War Scythe asked, "I'm actually very interested in these things. We have unearthed a lot of civilization relics so far, but they are all low-end civilizations in a single galaxy. At this stage, they were destroyed by natural disasters and man-made disasters." It is a very normal thing, and it has developed to the kind of civilization that can shoot mines all over the universe... I really can't imagine why it died."

'Have you heard of [The Great Filter]? ' Almost instantly, Yogg replied, its voice echoing in the war scythe's head like the neighing of thousands of animals' This was theorized by a thinking scientist in your former world. '

"Well, I know this."

Long before time travel, War Scythe was very interested in things like the universe and aliens.In terms of related research, he naturally learned a lot of related content-such as large filters.

Before mentioning the big filter, we must first mention something called Fermi's law——

When human beings determined in modern times that the earth is not the only one in the universe, but a small and remote planet in the outskirts of the Milky Way, they began to use all the technology in their hands and all the knowledge in their brains to explore the universe and seriously think about the existence of extraterrestrial beings. possibility.

Then nothing was found, and the whole universe was quiet.

This is absolutely wrong!Judging by the current scientific knowledge, the universe should be full of aliens long ago, let alone the doghead fish civilization and cat civilization, even Chinese cabbage should be able to step on the jump engine and soar in the universe the boat.

More than 100 billion years, there is no reason why Chinese cabbage with a big brain hole cannot be evolved, right? (Looks at "The Stars")

But let alone any tangible evidence that aliens have been here on Earth, not even in space—not even a single radio signal.At this time, the funny reason of [the earth is far outside the Milky Way, which cannot be covered by galactic WIFI] is completely incomprehensible.

So, in 1950, Enrique Fermi, an American physicist who once won the Dynamite Award, couldn’t help complaining about aliens with his friends:

"Then where are they?"

If there are a large number of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way, why can't we even see evidence such as spacecraft or probes?The universe is more than 100 billion years old, and there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way alone. Even if aliens start to climb the technology tree 10 years earlier than Earth people-this is almost a flick of a finger in 100 billion years, but The development of 10 years earlier is enough to pile up a civilization that looks like a god.

But, like a god, you are here!

Does this mean that people on earth are alone in the universe?

In order to answer this question, Robin Hansen, an assistant professor at George Mason University in the United States, put forward his own opinion:

"Maybe...he has already knelt down?"

He roughly divides the evolution from lifeless wasteland to expanding interstellar civilization into nine stages-suitable planetary system; self-replicating molecules (such as RNA); simple single-cell life; complex single-cell Life; sexual reproduction; multicellular life; larger-brained, tool-using animals; the current stage of humanity; the stage of interstellar colonization and expansion.

If you are a "Spore" player, you can immediately understand what's going on. (nod)

Hansen believes that among these [-] stages, at least one, or several stages, it is difficult to get past it, and you will die if you don’t pay attention—including but not limited to animals with big brains. Accidentally killed myself.

[Because Du... passed through the filter and was sifted out by the net, so far there have been no aliens who have visited the earth. 】

This is indeed a good explanation for the question [why haven't cats...aliens been found], but he didn't know the truth of this question until he traveled through time.

’ Actually, the big filter does exist.Robin Hansen's thinking is not wrong, but he is bound by his intellectual structure.After this ninth stage, the Great Filter is still there, and this thing accompanies a civilization from birth to death. '

"..."

Overgrown to death?

It sounds unexpectedly heavy, but this is not surprising. On the scale of the universe, there are definitely more dead civilizations than living ones. It is not an exaggeration to say that the universe is actually the graveyard of civilizations.

'Entering the stage of interstellar expansion, those who were trapped in the parent galaxy and couldn't get out, and encountered cosmic-level natural disasters after going out, and those who survived the natural disasters and began to study hyperspace technology, but attracted swarms of insects, were lucky. When it came to the Zerg Swarm, but when it adjusted the gene sequence, it milked the whole family to death, and the development of AI was forced to death by its own creation.This kind of perdition needs to be as many as possible.Even the expelling shells of many extinct civilizations left in the world will become part of the big filter. '

"This is really..." The shell of extinct civilization left in the world, such as BETA, is really a powerful character who will cut off the human civilization in that world if you don't pay attention.Seeing them gnawing on things like that, who would have thought that this is actually the last reverberation left over from a civilization?

'And the silicon-based biological civilization behind BETA found that it could not reverse the entropy increase of the universe by using conventional methods, so it planned to break the universe as an "isolated" system, and tried to reduce the increase in entropy by digging holes in it. 'From the tone of it, it seems that they have been observing this civilization' But they failed, just the last bit.It's a pity, but not uncommon. '

"Really..." There are many ways to reduce the entropy value, such as secretly tricking young girls into signing a contract, and then using the energy that exploded when they fell into witches because of despair, but by breaking the isolated system This is the first time I have seen the outer wall to break the predicament.I am afraid that the large-scale collection of G elements is also for this purpose-if the other party really tries to [ignite] to create a permanent wormhole, then the gravitational subsystem is indispensable, and it may require an extremely large amount of G elements to maintain it.

What would those refugees who are currently nestling on the boat think if they knew this...

If possible, I would really like to chat with them.But it's impossible anyway.

'The coordinates of that world have been modified, and it is currently far away from the world of Sanctuary, and a beacon is placed in that world, which is equivalent to continuously broadcasting its position in subspace.The giant's fallen corpse was of some use after all. '

"I don't know how many bugs can be consumed in it."

'It's worth looking forward to, let's stop here first. 'The mood of the ball of light suddenly became a little elusive, and the voice echoing in my mind began to change from an animal-like growl to calm' There is one more thing. '

"Ok?"

'Please tell the head of the Oregana Legion, the lord of the Brass Throne told her, next time, please choose the sacrifice carefully, he said that when the box was opened this time, seeing a box of identical heads gave him a headache.And the round thing on the chariot-class body is actually not a head...'

emmmmm... so it's not a head?I'm afraid there is a wart more than one meter high......

"...The chariot-level heads probably won't be delivered, but I think the boss's head will continue to be delivered."

'...I think so too. '

Chapter 337 Chapter 306: New Colonial Ship

Oregana had a fever-reducing patch on her head, and lay on the table scratching her ears and cheeks.Red lights flashed from time to time on the cable behind the neck, which indicated that the data exchange between the brain and the system was very tense at this time.

She used to think that the most important thing for a colony ship is the efficiency of space utilization.The more people that can fit in the unit space, the better the design of the colony ship.But after this incident, Oregana had to admit that the design of the colonial ship really couldn't be so reckless.

How to carry people on board at high speed is a troublesome problem.Oregana racked her brains and didn't know how to solve it—refugees are not outstanding astronauts, not soldiers, but ordinary civilians. It is impossible for civilians to respond quickly to orders like soldiers without hesitation; The earth moves in the gravity-free space—not only the souls bound by gravity like the inhabitants of the earth, even when everyone lives in a colony, only professionals are used to wandering around in the gravity-free universe.

It is simply impossible for them to board the ship quickly by themselves, and in a place with such a dense room (if it can be called a room), adding a convenient and fast elevator that can transport everyone to it is no less than a redesign. Habitat structure, if it is not convenient and fast, it has no value at all.

Maybe I shouldn't concentrate my thoughts on the elevator?

Annoyed, she put down the touch pen, picked up the cool non-zero drink on the table and drank it. The unique bubbles of carbonated drinks irritated the tongue and throat, making people drink sweet, but it produced a spicy feeling. .

The drink, made by Coolfi, was developed specifically for clone pilots - the ad even says 'As a clone pilot, you're immortal.The wheel of fate is always in your own hands.Can't you have a soft drink as strong as yours?Kufey thinks, you can have'——this bottle of cola-like drink contains synergists and nano-transmission technology, which can directly act on neurons with synergists, directly improving body functions in the shortest time without side effects.It is a model of indiscriminate use of black technology.

But there are absolutely no side effects. Only for the transformed clones. If ordinary people drink half a bottle like this, the possible side effects include (but are not limited to) being dizzy and unable to get out of bed, turning into an interstellar player with black eyes, spitting out bile, Internal bleeding, stomach upset, sleepwalking, memory falling to goldfish level, sexual abnormalities, skin peeling off like wallpaper, partial or complete emotional loss or a mild rash...

It sounds like something so meowy can be used as a biochemical weapon, it's really scary.

She stared at the bottle in her hand in a daze, the bubbles stuck to the wall of the bottle, and with the shaking of the liquid surface, there were bubbles floating above the liquid surface.These details, which everyone who drank Coke was already familiar with, suddenly caught Oregana's attention.

Bubbles...rise from the walls of the bottle...disappear in the air above the liquid...

Oregana showed a thoughtful expression. The so-called inspiration comes from life, which probably means this.

"It seems... can this be done?"

She grabbed the stylus and sketched a new picture on the hologram in front of her.

It is not only dangerous but also inefficient to let the colony ship land on its own. Therefore, transport ships and shuttles must be used to pick up people from the ground and transport them to the colony ship.So, what about integrating these [personnel transport ships] directly into the hull of the colony ship?

The data flow through the cable began to increase. The pen in Oregana's hand outlined the frame of the hull, and the brain directly worked as a processor to complete the details. The complicated data entered the main computer of the laboratory through the cable. The structural diagram of the hull gradually became clear.

If it is impossible to quickly transport people from the personnel transport ship to the colony ship, then simply don't take people out of the transport ship——

The bow and stern are thick columnar structures, protected by armor, the control system, the shield generator is arranged in the front section, the propulsion device and the flagship jump engine are behind the hull, and a 580mm diameter bridge connects the front and rear ends. A large number of personnel transport ships with a long axis of hundreds of meters are neatly arranged around the central axis, like a corn cob with huge particles and thin cores.

The personnel transport ship is not only a transportation equipment, but also a living compartment. After landing, it is full of people, and it is very convenient to go directly back to the mothership and fix it.However, there are still many problems. For example, the arrangement of the shield generator must be placed on the bow and stern of the ship. The strength of the shield in the middle section will be relatively weak. armor plates are also unequipable.

After entering the serious work mode, the passage of time speeds up unconsciously. Most people have experienced this feeling. For example, they just finished two-thirds of the question, but the invigilator suddenly said [still There are 10 minutes left, everyone pay attention to the time]...

When designing a ship, because there is no invigilator to remind you, you often sit in a bench vise and work continuously for several days.When I realized that a long time had passed, the box of Kufi at my feet had all become empty cans.

"The armor strength of the personnel transport ship is definitely not enough, but if each transport ship is equipped with destroyer-level shield generators and then adjusted the shield harmonics to form a joint shield array, it will take up too much space on the hull , It's so hard to choose..." I don't know how many times, fatigue surged up again.Oregana reached for Kufi, but found only air.She glanced at her watch strangely, "Huh? It's been eight days?!"

This fucker can't do it, it's too scary to go to work!Time just disappeared so suddenly!

No, no, this class can't continue. (Strictly speaking)

After thinking about it, she sent the blueprint of the ship that has been made now to the internal database of Tartarus, so that all clones in the system can see it.Sometimes it is better for everyone to think together than to think alone, so that you can get a certain degree of rest in your brain. (forcing true)

After all this was done, she unplugged the cable from the back of her neck, stood up and stretched.

Frankly speaking, the design of the colony ship is much more troublesome than the battleship used by the clone pilots.The concept of the battleship used by the clone fighters is very simple. It is for the [dead] ship, to kill the enemy. All ships below the super flag do not need to think about whether they will blow up or not. Just install an internal force field stabilization system, nail Put on the armor plate, weld on the shield launcher and you're ready to go.But the colony ship is completely the opposite. Her first task is to bring everyone on board to survive.

It is not an easy task for Oregana to design a ship that exists for [living].

The light indicating the work went out, and after a while Ruriko Shimada came in from the door, still holding an ax in her hand, and asked with a smile on her face:

"Oh? Is work over?"

"Well, the main part is done, and now it has been uploaded to the internal network for everyone to work together." Oregana slumped on the chair, with a tired expression on her face, "We really can't handle the details alone."

"Hard work~" Liu Lizi leaned the ax on the console, grabbed the Phosphorus at her feet and handed it to Oregana, "Here, this cat is for you."

"Meow~" 0w0

"Oh, thank you." Holding the badger in his hand, the legion commander showed a relaxed expression on his face, "Has anything happened outside these days?"
