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

In this way, the battleship can basically meet the DV requirements of fast hyperbolic transfer from any planet to any target planet in most star systems-in this way, even if the warp speed engine cannot be used for some reason , The conventional engines of the fleet are also sufficient to meet the needs of the fleet to rush to the field quickly, which greatly improves the strength of the cat alliance's power projection.

Take Earthfire as an example, even if the target planet is on the other side of the star system when starting out, and the distance between the two stars is the farthest (2.5 astronomical units), the cat alliance fleet can guarantee that the fleet will be deployed to the corresponding planet within 2.5 months. planetary orbits.

In addition to strategic maneuverability, its tactical maneuverability has also been significantly improved—although the maximum specific impulse acceleration of the battleship remains at the classic 0.01m/s, through the optimization of the engine configuration and the improvement of the booster device , so that the adjustment range of the warship's thrust has been expanded by about 40%, and it can be adjusted more flexibly in the high specific thrust low thrust cruise mode and the low specific thrust high thrust combat mode.

As for the most core attribute of the battleship, firepower, its improvement rate is even more obvious.

After using a large amount of technology reversed from the flagship of the former extinct unit, Hong was able to manufacture electron accelerators with higher efficiency and better performance, laser resonators, optical mirrors, and countless other supporting facilities.

Coupled with the 50GWE-class power generation reactor on the new generation of warships, the range of the main free electron laser cannon has been nearly doubled to 25000 kilometers.

As for the new generation of flagship warships that are undergoing sea trial adjustments, their range has reached an astonishing 35000 kilometers.

Although over the years, humans have been upgrading their fleets as much as possible, and the range of conventional warships is close to 17000 kilometers, but it is obvious that compared with the cat alliance, which has a good economy and can fully develop technology and armaments, it is in an economic crisis. Human beings are really powerless.

It can be said that if the Cat League at this time wants to launch a war against humans, victory can only be said to be as easy as picking something out of a bag.

"Judging from the current situation, we can only use one sentence to describe the Cat League - what they did was actually exactly what they said."

To this, human scholars can only give this answer.

Any suspicion is vulnerable in the face of today's iron-clad facts. After receiving the report from the ambassador to the Cat League, even the xenophobes of the Outer Solar System Alliance will find it difficult to exaggerate the threat theory of the Cat League without conscience.

Of course, some extremists will not do this. If possible, they will naturally continue to try to incite the people below-their brains are purely opposing for the sake of opposing, rather than making judgments after rational thinking up.

Although the Alliance of the Outer Solar System started out by engaging in militarism + xenophobia, and has only given up xenophobia propaganda until now, it still maintains a weak propaganda of militarism.

However, they are not idiots.

In the past, they needed xenophobic thoughts, pointed out a certain country as an enemy that "takes away their living space", and needed surging public opinion to support them in launching wars.

But after the civil war ended and most of what they wanted was obtained, the Alliance of the Outer Solar System was no longer willing to be with these dangerous things—what the future world needs is development, not war.

Xenophobia is a good tool, but in the stage of peaceful development and common prosperity, they are no longer suitable tools, and if they are not eliminated, it is very likely that the country will be forced to be tied to the train of war , Destroy the unified outer solar system they have gained through forbearance and hard work.

They think it's time.

Under the combined influence of Crimson and Li, as well as the thoughts of the Outer Solar System Alliance itself, the propaganda outlet of the Outer Solar System turned 180 degrees almost overnight.

Extremists have been eliminated in various ways, whether it is soft or hard, or even directly using physical means to solve the problem itself. There are various methods.

Although there will inevitably be some turmoil in the middle, fortunately, after a small turmoil, the foreign alliance has successfully grasped the situation and eliminated most of the dangerous signs of xenophobia.

It is true that under the influence of the foreign alliance's situation and historical factors, as well as the people's own thoughts, it is impossible to completely eliminate the trend of xenophobic thought - but at least the foreign alliance can ensure that this trend of thought will only become a useful tool when needed , and when it is not needed, it will not become a stone that will adversely affect the road of the country.

Apparently, that's a good thing for Waimeng Cake Layer.

As for Crimson and Li, their respective goals have almost been achieved - Crimson has weakened the threat of the foreign alliance to the asteroid belt, and Li has eliminated their ideological threat to the cat alliance. It can be said that This is totally the best of both worlds.

Of course, those extremists who were physically silenced may not think so, but they can't speak out anyway, and everyone silently ignored them all.

Do you want to say that human beings are really so willing to succumb to the alliance with cats?

That's definitely not the case. The cultural atmosphere of human beings makes them never willing to be "second".

However, ideas belong to ideas, and actions still need to be flexibly judged according to the actual situation.

When the strengths of the two sides are close to evenly matched, especially when one side has a slight upper hand, the two countries are likely to have many contradictions and friction with each other.

But when the gap between the two sides is so big that they can only look up, the weak side will not worry much.

In ancient terms it is.

Hey, swing!

Volume 180 The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] [-] The Abandoned Mansion Suddenly Became Useful

In addition to conventional warships, the flagship shipyard at L4 of Cave II is not far behind. The first batch of flagship warships have already left the dock and are in the space test stage before entering service.

In wartime, warships usually do not have the ability to conduct long-term space tests after they are assembled. They can only enter service after a simple test confirms that there are no major problems, so as to ensure that combat effectiveness can be formed as quickly as possible.

As for running-in or something, it can only be done while marching.

But in the peaceful age when time is not so urgent, a space test that lasts for a certain period of time and is sufficiently detailed is still very necessary.

It can fully test whether the performance of the warship is up to standard, help the various subsystems on the ship to run in, find some problems that are not serious, but will slightly affect the use, and so on.

Don't underestimate these things. Sometimes, a slight mistake may cause problems on the entire battleship.

For example, the submarine that sank because of a broken toilet in history warned people not to underestimate any problem.

In particular, the flagship battleship, a new type of warship that adopts a new configuration and uses a lot of cutting-edge technology, its space test stage is even more important.

"Have you decided what to name her?"

Looking out of the porthole at a flagship that was testing the maximum thrust steering maneuver, Stuart was holding a stack of documents with a smile in his eyes.

"not yet."

Hong replied honestly.

"Didn't you launch a solicitation + vote from the public before?" She continued to ask persistently, "Since you don't know what to choose, then follow the majority's ideas and get the name with the highest number of votes."

"But, that name really..."

Hong hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything wrong with the names everyone voted for?"

"Of course it's bad!"

The cat immediately frowned.

"Accordingly, shouldn't the names of these warships be something like 'Holy Light of Annihilation', 'End Yan World', etc. that sound domineering?"

"What the hell is the name of the Red Mama class!"

Hong probably made up his mind. In the future, he will encounter other interstellar civilizations. The commander on the other side is wearing a gorgeous military uniform, claiming that they are the flagship of the xx civilization's final world.

Then report a "Red Mother Number" on my side-this will definitely make others laugh!

"But you have already named the capital ship Maomao Shantuiren, but isn't it against the standard for the flagship to call these things?"

Stuart calmly discovered the problem in the words.

"Anyway, they don't know what single push means. The literal translation means loyalty. Doesn't it sound normal?"

"Obviously not normal."

After some debate, Hong finally ignored Zai Zai's comment that "this is too old-fashioned", and defied all opinions and named it Glorious Class.

Although she also knew that this name had basically the same status as the "Silver Hands Mercenary Group" in the novels of the different world - to put it mildly, it is a classic, and to put it bluntly, it is downright old-fashioned.

You know, what is popular now is the "Holy Sword Pink Furry Rabbit" and the "Family and Fortune Mercenary Corps". This kind of old-fashioned naming has long been out of date.

However, although Hong didn't care much about the name, after all, it was just a name. Anyway, in her model, these battleships were just a series of numbers.

But anyway, it is also the first non-experimental regular flagship, the center of the future battlefield, and the name should be a little more normal.

As the first generation of regular flagships, the Glory class has a total length of 900 meters, a total mass of 200 million tons, and a length-to-diameter ratio of about 10:1. It is currently the most "sturdy" warship in China.

In fact, whether it is a flagship or a regular ship, the new generation of warships is much thicker than the previous generation.

Although 10:1 still seems to belong to the slender type, compared with the previous 15:1 hemp pole, the new generation of warships is still much more well-proportioned.

It's not that Hong doesn't want to continue to maintain the super high aspect ratio as before to reduce costs, but it can't.

On the one hand, with the advancement of technology, longer and longer hulls and heavier reactors have increased the requirements for structural strength of warships, which must be appropriately thickened and strengthened.

On the other hand, as the firepower of the main gun is getting stronger and stronger, for example, the quality of the new generation of single-pushers is 2.5 times that of the previous one, but the firepower is more than 5 times that of the previous one.

As a result, in order to prevent peer-to-peer attacks, warships must have thicker and stronger armor and more redundant structures to ensure sufficient survivability.

After all, if a battleship can't even withstand its own bombardment, then it can't be called a battleship, it can only be called a battle cruiser.

Therefore, an overall trend of the new generation of warships is that the aspect ratio is reduced, the average density is increased, and the body shape is stronger.

Although the density is still not as good as one-half of water, compared with the previous warships, its improvement rate has reached about 40%-60%, which can be said to be very large.

Similar to Glory in a naval battle simulation game, their Glory class is also a warship that relies on long-range sniping for a living. Her main guns are very powerful and accurate, and she is also equipped with the "Strike Mode" that performed well on the White Reaper. ".

When the assault mode is activated, both the charging time and the single energy discharge will be doubled—although on the experimental flagship White Reaper, the assault mode is doubled, and it seems that the performance is reversed after technological progress. Decreased.

But in fact, this is only because of the experimental flagship's "testing" purpose, coupled with inexperience, immature technology and other factors, resulting in the performance of its reactor and main gun being too weak compared to its quality.

In other words, it is a waste of tonnage.

A typical example is that the white Reaper, which was fiercely fired and showed great power on the battlefield before, its main gun output is actually almost the same as the new generation of single-pusher upgrades.

However, the total mass of the White Reaper is a full 80 tons.

The latter is only 30 tons.

After collecting enough data and the relevant technology matures, the normal output of the main gun of the Glory class has reached 60 tons of TNT equivalent. With their current material science, their attack mode cannot achieve two Multiplied.

But even if it is doubled, the bombardment energy of the glorious class can reach the equivalent of 120 tons of TNT.

This is a very astonishing statistic - although the many properties of the laser cause the actual power of its hit to be much lower than this value, it is enough to show how powerful it is.

"I remember, the warp drive was installed on her, right?"

Stewart asked casually while staring at this beautiful battleship with a strange look.

"Yes." Hong nodded, "For this reason, I made a special modification to her, making her about 60 tons more mass than the standard model—this provided her with stronger protection and survivability, and Protect the warp drive and command team inside as best you can."

"What a beautiful little fellow."

Stewart leaned on the window with one hand, his tail wagging unconsciously: "I want to fuck her."

"?"

"What I mean is, I want to be her commander." The golden-haired fox girl corrected her statement without changing her expression, "It must be an unimaginable task to command such a fleet on such a flagship. Comfortable feeling."

"Then you have to keep working hard."

Hong stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and touched her head——then was hugged by Stuart's back.

"Ugh..."

Red's face flushed slightly, but he didn't try to resist.

Although he is her cub, from a physical point of view, Stuart is almost a head taller than her, so that the way she hugs her doesn't feel out of place at all. On the contrary, she stood on tiptoe to touch her head before. Behavior, it looks like a cub trying to act like a baby to an adult.

"Good, don't move."

After the golden-haired fox lady finished speaking, she hugged Hong with both hands, and her chin rested lightly on Hong's head, looking quite...warm?

If you don't consider that the one being held in your arms is the mother, this scene is indeed quite warm.

"I usually study with my uncles and aunts, and they also expect you to grow up and become someone who can truly take over this fleet."

The cat in his arms arched in Stuart's arms while talking, and found a comfortable position to continue lying down.

Now that biotechnology is becoming more and more advanced, Hong has been able to create a body that is extremely close to a living creature.

Basically, except for the brain, which is made up of computers, and the communication and sensing modules, which still need to retain some machinery, the rest of the parts can already be completely biologicalized.

In this way, when she posts Zai Zai (and is posted), she can feel more real and comfortable-yes, she has made so many advanced technologies for this.

It's funny to say that intelligent creatures in biological form often fantasize about some kind of mechanical ascension, abandoning that weak body and creating a "perfect body" made of metal and circuits.

However, she is already in mechanical form, but she is studying the biological form, trying to create a real physical body to get along with the cubs.

It is a two-way rush.

"Okay." Feeling the soft body in his arms, Stuart narrowed his eyes happily, "I really hope that day will come as soon as possible."

"Ah."

...

Although, Hong has now dragged this warp speed engine out of the laboratory and installed it on the battleship, making it a "black box" that can provide benefits for the fleet.

But this does not mean that Hong has given up on the research on warp speed navigation.

In fact, the most important reason for Hong to do this is because it has nothing to study - through the research on this engine, Hong has initially established a set of theoretical systems about warp speed navigation.

Although much data is missing and the theory itself is not perfect, there is already a lot of evidence that this path can definitely be correct.

Moreover, with the help of the core of the warp drive, Hong successfully used this theory to create a warp field in the laboratory.

Although it dissipates extremely quickly, and is only strong enough to move a one-gram object by a few millimeters-but it is enough.

It proves that the idea of ​​the theory is correct, and the way to construct it is basically feasible. All she has to do is to continue to promote the development of various science and technology until all indicators can meet the requirements of the warp speed engine.

This process may take decades, maybe even hundreds of years. After all, she has only found the correct theory so far, and the difficulty of engineering implementation is still very large.
