Volume [-] The Road to the Cat Alliance: Chapter [-] Interstellar "Aircraft Carrier"

"Ship Identification Code: Yuanyu Ferry Ship No. 003, passed the verification and allowed to pass."

After confirming that the pass code was correct, the border checkpoint of the Dawn [-] galaxy-Katus wormhole sent a signal to allow pass.

Of course, due to the characteristics of space, it is naturally impossible for spaceships that have entered the speed of navigation to stop and wait for inspection-letting the spacecraft decelerate from high-speed navigation to a parking orbit, and then re-accelerate, the fuel waste caused by it is simply a waste of time. Astronomical figures.

Therefore, the spacecraft usually have completed the inspection procedure when they are still far away from the border checkpoint. The release signal when passing the border checkpoint is more of a form, a process to prove that the spacecraft has complied .

Although this program was originally prepared for alien civilization spaceships, such as human and Megaman cargo ships, after all, most of the space vehicles of Cat League are directly controlled by Hong, so she naturally does not need to verify to herself ; and a small number of vehicles controlled by the Maomeng also maintain continuous communication with Hong, and she knows all the ship data clearly, and there is no need to report it again.

But later, Hong found that if all the ships were to go through this process, although the effect would be the same, the procedures would be more perfect—obviously, when managing a civilization, a sound and clear rules and regulations are very important .

At the same time, bringing all the spaceships into a unified system is also beneficial for the people of the Cat League to manage and analyze data in the later stage. Ship management standard system.

Anyway, when Hong was working, she also had corresponding standards and systems, but she didn't show them to the public. Now she only needs to announce the standards and implement them, which is very simple and trouble-free.

Although the implementation of this standard has no effect on Maomeng itself, after all, how Hong managed it before is still how it is managed now.

However, in places other than the Cat League, this standard has a considerable impact.

Because after this standard began to be implemented among the people, a very interesting thing happened—many cargo ships on the human side also began to follow this standard, whether it was software such as seaworthiness, traffic, and identification codes, or things like For hardware such as interfaces and maintenance parts, we have begun to advance in the direction of meeting the standards of the cat alliance.

The reason is actually not complicated. After all, whether it is the domestic and foreign alliances with a semi-market economy, or the asteroid belt alliances that are experimenting with a fully planned economy, the most important interstellar trade target at present is the cat alliance.

Although most of the goods cannot be sold, after all, for the Maomeng people with a very high standard of living, these things are almost nothing to look at, and red does not accept things like luxury goods that rely on premium prices. Commodities for food, so after trying for half a day, except for a few lucky ones, most of the commodity companies can only return without success and continue to roll in the solar system.

However, the large interstellar trade with an official background is becoming more and more popular-just like those countries whose main trade is natural gas and oil exports in the 21st century, human beings today also have the desire to start exporting to such resource-exporting countries. direction of development.

Since you want to do business with the other party, you have to meet the other party's standards, otherwise they won't let you pass the border inspection, how do you do business-so naturally, all cargo ships that need to sail in the Cat League will be refitted A kit that meets the standards of the Cat League.

Then everyone found out that compared to sailing with these small and medium-sized ships that were originally used for internal business of human beings, the cost and benefits of manufacturing a new type of large cargo ship specially designed for the cat league's bulk trade are much higher. It is much more cost-effective than using small and medium-sized boats.

The most important thing is that compared to the lack of interest in commodity trade, Maomeng has always been in a strong supportive attitude towards this kind of resource trade. Not to mention various discounts, you can buy as many things as you want, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. Case.

Although the price of these goods is not high because of the cat alliance's economic mechanism and the fact that the red will not make the cat alliance lose money, they are basically in an intermediate state of "both the cat alliance and human beings make a small profit". The high profits obtained by selling to some shortage places are much lower.

But I can’t stand how much we can charge. Compared with the domestic market where production is getting cheaper and cheaper, the purchase price of weeds is basically constant. Therefore, companies can mine with the greatest strength regardless of market demand, and then sell them to weeds. .

The profit is meager, but it can be maintained for a long time, the income is stable, and the earned cat currency is an absolute hard currency, which can be exchanged into a high amount of local currency in any country-this kind of trade is very important for serious business enterprises , is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

Hong is naturally happy with this. After all, no matter how much the other side transports, she will definitely make money. Real resources can promote the production activities of Maomeng and help her develop the territory faster—and because the other side also earns For this reason, this kind of trade can continue for a long time. Who would not want to do a stable and profitable business?

In this way, after gradually tasting the sweetness, everyone naturally began to manufacture some large cargo ships that fully adopted the cat alliance standard and were born for the cat alliance trade.

Obviously it is a spaceship developed by humans, produced by humans, and spent most of the time in the territory of humans, but its standards have instead become the standards of Cat League, and then a set of kits that meet human navigation standards is installed for navigation within the territory.

I have to say that this situation is actually a bit of a dangerous signal. It means that our own side has unconsciously integrated into other countries' systems and has become a link in the other's industrial chain, and even industry standards have begun to change. opponent's shape.

The human cake has naturally discovered this phenomenon, but after careful weighing by the think tank, it is found that becoming a resource-exporting country that adopts the other party's standards actually has more advantages than disadvantages.

It is undeniable that after purchasing the 1.5 million-ton warships for foreign trade with loans, even Hong, who is very kind and has no neck in maintenance and logistics, taught them how to maintain these warships with self-produced methods for free, and even It is a possible upgrade in the future, and its level of thoughtfulness is enough for any normal person to be unable to pick out faults, and can only quietly say in his heart, "The minds of people who are not my race may not be different."

However, even if they can produce all of them by themselves, they don't have to pay huge "after-sales service fees" like the serious arms trade, but in order to maintain these warships, they have to produce maintenance parts that meet the corresponding standards-considering that foreign trade warships are in their The army accounts for a full three-quarters of the share. In fact, the components that meet the standards of the Cat League are used by the "mainstream" of the foreign alliance.

Coupled with the fact that today's foreign alliance still owes the cat alliance a large amount of final payment, and because economic growth depends heavily on the cat alliance's trade, they finally found that they can just push the boat forward in this way and drink soup with the cat alliance. It doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

From point to point, the standard follow-up of the foreign alliance also led to the follow-up of the standard of the asteroid belt alliance, which also focuses on resource export-so the members of the internal alliance woke up and found out in surprise, why the whole world was used by me alone. Negotiable standard?

This is not good for interstellar trade, hurry up and follow up.

Therefore, after more than ten years of subtle influence, Cat League has successfully made neighboring countries voluntarily follow up their standards without using any coercive means, and has become a link in the Cat League industry chain.

Just like the globalization in human history, Cat League and anthropologists named it "Star Domain Commercial Integration".

(Sociology Technology: Star Domain Business Integration, Effect: Trade Intermediary Fee -10%)

"It's a big guy."

Looking through the binoculars at the giant spaceship slowly approaching in the distance, a human crew member sighed.

Because their destination is the Kaweier commercial space station at the exit of the wormhole, their spaceship has already slowed down to a lower speed, which is faster than the ferry ship whose destination is the border fortress of the order. A lot slower, unable to fly with each other.

However, this just gave them a chance to observe this huge ship from far to near, from front to back.

I have to say, it's really big.

This type of ship, known as the Yuanyu Ferry Ship, as the name suggests, is a special cargo ship used for long-distance space travel. It is a specialized type of ship that only transports people and vehicles.

And this ship is more special-it is responsible for transporting warships.

That's right, transporting complete battleships.

It has a total length of 1.4 kilometers, and it can simultaneously mount eight single-pushers for operations at a time and release them at a suitable location-from this point of view, it is not completely impossible to call it an "aircraft carrier".

It is a mothership, it can hold "aircraft", very good, it is an aircraft carrier.

It has to be said that although in the current space battlefield, the aircraft carrier in the classic sense is the weakest of chicken ribs, no civilization with normal intelligence will include this type of ship in the main battle sequence.

But if they were on this kind of "aircraft carrier", then they really didn't have any complaints - although the plane might be a little bigger, it didn't hurt much.

Some people may wonder, doesn't the single pusher have the ability to sail long distances?Standard DV60.8km/s, extended-range DV104km/s, enough for navigation within the galaxy, why spend extra cost to manufacture such a ferry boat?

But in fact, Hong created this giant spaceship just out of cost considerations—because it does not need to consider combat, it can be equipped with many high-efficiency equipment that cannot be carried on warships, for example, because of its low power density. , the ratio of occupied volume to mass is too large, resulting in super-large propulsion reactors that cannot be mounted on battleships, giant nozzles with a length of more than [-] meters, etc., thus endowing the engine with extremely powerful working efficiency.

As we all know, for an engine, the larger the scale, the higher the efficiency, and the longer the nozzle, the higher the efficiency. Therefore, with the blessing of many super-large equipment, its specific impulse is fully 3.3 of the highest specific impulse of a single pusher-class warship. times, reaching an astonishing 500km/s, equivalent to 0.16% of the speed of light.

And with such a high specific impulse, this spaceship can still maintain an acceleration of at least 0.02m/s when it is fully loaded with eight warships-this makes transporting warships of the same mass reduce the working medium consumption to one-third At the same time, the response speed has also increased by 50%, and the efficiency is high.

And when this kind of ferry boat is working, it only needs to carry a small amount of working fluid for autonomous navigation after releasing the warship, and the consumption during transportation can be directly extracted from the pipeline docked with the working fluid cabin of the battleship.

There are only so many working fluids. It is obvious which one is better for an engine with a specific impulse of up to 150km/s or an engine with a specific impulse of up to 500km/s.

Although at present, due to the priority of production capacity to the warships, the number of such ferry ships is very small.

But in Hong's plan, the future cat alliance fleet will be equipped with a large number of such ferry ships-or if you are more sentimental, you can call it an aircraft carrier.

With them, the warships of Cat League can obtain more than 3 times the long-distance specific impulse and 2 times the acceleration without sacrificing any performance at all. The fleet responds faster, has a longer range, and can transport more The working medium is saved for combat use.

And the ferry boats themselves have almost no risk of being destroyed in combat—they just need to release the fleet far away from the battlefield, and then go home.

There is an acceleration of 0.02m/s in the fully loaded state. If all the load is removed and only the main body is left, then its acceleration is definitely much faster than any normal warship, and there is almost no possibility of being caught up; the fleet itself can also Provide them with a large enough air defense net to keep them safe from missiles until they gain speed.

The interstellar aircraft carrier is coming!

Although many people refuse to admit that this is a kind of "aircraft carrier", after all, even pure aircraft carrier enthusiasts, it is difficult to think that throwing away eight 30-ton "carrier-based ships" is what an aircraft carrier should do. In the official ship standard, this kind of ship is also classified as a ferry ship under the cargo ship classification.

But this does not prevent some people from talking about the so-called "aircraft carrier restoration", and even adding it to some popular Two-dimensional games, and drawing some strange second creations on it-one It is just a normal entertainment, and it is enough for the people to like it.

Not to mention the public or the cubs, Hong himself likes it very much. He often opens a trumpet to like and comment on the beautiful pictures, and sometimes even draws by himself.

Red quite encourages cultural diversity, and this is one of the very few areas where humans can occupy a certain market in the cat league—after all, the history of the Internet for more than 1000 years (Catus years) is not covered, far from the history of the current civilian Internet. The century-old Jeffrey Federation is comparable.

Moreover, in terms of general culture, there may be huge differences between different civilizations, and they often face the problem of acclimatization.

But astringent, never wrong!

Nobody doesn't like squeamish, right?

PS: Good guy, I didn't know until the reward was offered, it's almost the end of the month, why do you still have so many monthly tickets?

With so many votes, I usually don’t vote for Maomao, cub, Maomao is very sad!

The kind that takes ten seconds to coax!

In addition, thank you very much for your votes and rewards for the blade support. I really didn’t expect that there are so many blades at first, and I will start paying them back as soon as they are free next month!

Cat cat? ( ????` ) Comparing heart

Volume [-] The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] Is this the so-called basic guarantee?

Of course, different races have different selves, just like normal humans can't rush to the lizard man's semen, the Rock people probably think of these weird-looking Jeffreys/humans in the same way.

But everyone is also a civilized person in the interstellar era. Since there is no sharp conflict in ideological trends between each other, and there is a very solid foundation of common interests, it is easy to seek common ground while reserving differences, and respect each other's culture.

This is also not so much related to the aesthetic gap between the two sides - at least when everyone sits down to talk about things, they will not be disturbed too much by their appearance, and there will be no problem shaking hands and taking pictures together, even familiar After getting online, hooking up with friends and so on can be done.

After all, people on both sides are ordinary people. Although there are deviations between good and evil and moral values, there will be no particularly sharp contradictions-this is normal. It is difficult for a society that can operate stably in a peaceful state for a long time. There are large deviations in things.

Even if it is racial cleanliness, the family also pays attention to unity, friendship and mutual help.

There will definitely be small deviations. For example, some civilizations may take death lightly, and some civilizations have an indifferent social atmosphere, and the people like to have nothing to do with themselves. , regards the deprivation of the lives of the same race as "normal" civilization.

It is impossible for such a society to exist for a long time - as long as a civilization wants to develop orderly and make steady progress, it will definitely resist such things that inherently disrupt order.

Only when the three basic views do not conflict with each other can there be a possibility of gradual improvement in the follow-up relationship. Otherwise, if the most basic good and evil cannot be discussed together, peaceful coexistence is really wishful thinking.

After going through the initial strangeness and temptation, both parties gradually discovered that these weird-looking creatures on the opposite side were actually the same as them.

Everyone will wear formal clothes and talk about things in a polite manner, and they will also go out to travel and play during breaks, and even secretly browse strange websites on computers in private mode in the middle of the night.

We are all "people".

In fact, Rockman's political views are not very compatible with human beings. On the contrary, they are closer to the cat alliance, especially the use of the national interconnected automation system for economic regulation, which is full of cat alliance flavor. .

However, compared with the Cat League, Rockman did not achieve such "extreme", and did not go all the way to the black like them-this is actually normal, it is better to say that Cat League is even rarer.

Although there is no pure capitalism in human beings now, the explosion of productivity in the interstellar age, the improvement of public education and the rise of consciousness, and the extermination war that almost wiped out the human race and lasted for an entire generation have all led to a situation like 22 The complete market economy as it was a century ago has already withdrawn from the stage of history.

Except for Belt in the asteroid belt, it is difficult for people to give an accurate characterization of several other large countries. Everyone has me in you, and you in me, and you can see the shadows of former opponents among each other.

This world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray.

But both sides have a tacit understanding that they will not talk about these things, but focus on more practical things, such as the living standards of the people, the strength of the country, and the orderly development of civilian and military industries.

Therefore, even if there is a certain conflict in political views, the Rockman and human beings can still maintain a very good friendly relationship. The scale of both official and private trade continues to reach new heights, and together promote the economic direction of two or three civilizations. Continue to advance on the road of steady and orderly development.

After all, although due to the distance, the trade between the Rockmen and the Cat League is not too much, but their trade with humans is quite frequent, and humans will export a large number of raw materials to the Cat League and import high-quality products, so even if It is the purest human-Lock bilateral trade, and in the end, it will follow the trade route and drive the cat alliance behind to achieve a win-win situation.

In the current interstellar market, human beings are already the largest exporter of raw materials. Almost by themselves, they export massive amounts of materials to two behemoths that are several times larger than them at the same time, without affecting domestic development.

In fact, it was precisely because they exported a large amount of materials that domestic development was guaranteed-the main reason why this economic crisis was able to come to an end so quickly was that they had opened up two such huge markets.

It has to be said that humans at the beginning of the solar system were really lucky. A galaxy contains almost all types of planets needed by space civilization—small rocky planets with high metal content, habitable planets with moderate mass, There are low-gravity hub planets connecting the inner and outer galaxies, asteroid belts rich in mineral deposits, gas giant planets with many satellites, and ice giant planets with a slightly lower mass that are convenient for the future development of the hydrogen and helium mining industry.

Although compared with the Kion and Rockman with 4 galaxies each, the Cat League with 11 galaxies, and the Tukeka Cult with 14 galaxies, humans have been in the sky for more than 200 years, but it is a bit embarrassing to have only one parent galaxy to play. , but the actual production capacity is not much worse than the 4 galaxies' Kion/Rockman.

This is also the basis for human beings to be able to export a large amount of raw materials to the Cat League, and at the same time conduct large-scale bilateral trade with the Rockman-nothing else, it is a great start.

"Hello, the prices for this meal for the two of you are as follows: 1.4 cat coins for two large portions of pork chop rice, 1.5 cat coins for one serving of finger-licking original mouse, 0.5 cat coins for one mapo tofu, and 0.2 cat coins for two bottles of Coca-Cola Coins, a total of 3.6 cat coins were consumed, because this consumption belongs to the basic guarantee of life, the actual expenditure is 0 cat coins.” The service robot on the side drove back a short distance, “welcome to visit next time.”

After the stubby service robot that looked like a trash can went away, he patted the dazed young man next to him: "What are you looking at? It's not a bionic body. What's there to see in a large trash can?" .”

"No, why is everything here free?"

The young crew member looked at the watch in his hand, then looked back at the similar dishes on the table, and muttered to himself.

Although before he came, he also heard from many old crew members that the other party would guarantee their basic living standards when they were in the cat league. At the same time, the free quota of 1000 cat coins will be reset every month under the identity account, which can be used for local living consumption.

But in the minds of normal people, although they have long heard that the Cat League is an extremely developed civilization with excellent welfare, after all, they are just ordinary laborers who come to help transport goods, and they are not citizens of other people. The normal board and lodging is very humane, presumably it will not be too comfortable no matter how you say it.

Although some old crew members explained that even the most basic standard of living has a fixed free quota of 1000 per month. As long as the monthly expenses are lower than this quota, it is equivalent to not spending money and saving a little, which is completely enough for life. .

But when the phrase "frugal living and expenses" comes out, it sounds like a very difficult taste. In addition, his family members feel that the salary of running the Cat League is so high, basically [-] federal dollars a month. There is really no need to wrong yourself too much.

Therefore, before leaving, the family members deliberately found a relationship and exchanged 22 cat coins from the black market at the price of 1 federal dollars to 20000 cat coin. This price is actually very fair, and it is a preferential price given by a friend , usually external at least 25:1.

Although in theory, if you look at the premium in the China-human trade, the premium is relatively small, and the price is relatively the most "real" bulk metal material trade, the international price of lithium carbonate is 50 federal dollars per ton, and the exchange price of China's lithium carbonate is It is about 3 cat coins, and the exchange rate is about 3:15.

But in fact, it is impossible for you to find cat coins at this price in the market, because cat coins are really too hard, and they are hard currencies among hard currencies. The price over there is basically the cost price, and the price is stable. If you keep the same cat coins in your hands for several years, you can still exchange them with cats for the same materials as at that time, and sometimes you can even exchange them for more.

In addition, due to the exchange rate barrier between the two sides, except for those large-scale trades that have official endorsements for enterprises, the private sector does not have and cannot set up official exchange points. 25:1 is priceless in the market, and it is often urgently needed Everyone has to pay more to buy it.

If the government hadn't believed that the people really needed an unofficial but at the same time stable exchange point, so if they told the companies explicitly and secretly not to rob the people of this small business, I'm afraid there would have been no exchange.

Although I don’t know why, I heard that they were worried about the basic security and free quota, so when they exchanged more cat coins to improve their lives, the friend showed an incomprehensible expression, but under their insistence, the friend still I exchanged it for them at a preferential price, and told them that if they don't need it later, they can find them to exchange it again. The price is fair and there will be no loss.

At that time, he didn't quite understand what the purpose of his friend's words was, he thought it was just worrying that they would not be able to spend enough, but now it seems that it is indeed not enough to spend.

Because he has nowhere to spend it.
