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

"Do you have any opinions on this?"

The officers below briefly exchanged a few words with each other, thinking that this decision is not a big problem-although there are still a few nuclear air mines left, the Cat League, which has already grasped their approximate orbits, can completely use them before launching an attack. The amount of missiles that exceeded the previous standard several times, saturately covered all possible evasion routes, and wiped out all nuclear air mines.

Originally, the main reason for their delay in attacking was that they were worried that the enemy fleet would hide on purpose, trick them into attacking, and then rush back to the galaxy, catching them by surprise.

But now that it is clearly known that this fleet is not luring the enemy to go deep, but is really transferred away to deal with other combat forces, launching an attack has become a matter of no suspense.

"Report Your Excellency, we believe that we should indeed launch an attack as soon as possible at this time to prevent the opponent from rushing back to the galaxy during this period." After confirming that it was correct, the commander-in-chief of the Strategic Command Center of the Cat Alliance stood up and reported, "The machine Don't lose it, time will never come!"

"Very well, now I announce that all fleets will be assembled immediately to prepare to launch an attack on the Soran galaxy."

Hong nodded, and then ordered.

"understand!"

...

With the blessing of the completely unmanned fleet system of the Cat League, the fleet stationed in the Jeffrey II galaxy fortress completed its departure at an extremely fast speed and began to gather around the Glory—since it has been determined that the enemy has The warp speed disrupts the force field, so Hong naturally doesn't need to save the warp speed engine for combat use.

Anyway, it won't be used in the future, so it's better to simply speed up the speed of your own fleet so that they can directly cross the distance of [-] kilometers from the wormhole in one step.

Hong believed that the detectors on the other side, although they didn't know where they were hiding, must have been there, and at this time they must have passed back the information that they were gathering troops.

However, Hong just doesn't care about this. In such a large-scale battle, it is almost impossible to expect a surprise attack from across the sea. On the premise that he already has an advantage in strength, any fancy operations are just in the future. Increase the complexity of the plan and bring more surprises to the originally clear situation.

Red hates accidents.

For her, the war situation she hopes most is that her own side, relying on its advantages in systems, technology, and productivity, directly bursts out a fleet that can crush the enemy, and then easily and without any accidents bulldoze the opponent.

It's just like deliberately not letting her get what she wanted. The Cat League currently matches her opponents, and they can basically fight her evenly. She can't let her experience the kind of F2A that doesn't need any worries and considerations, and only needs to assemble the fleet. Easy game.

If the reality is a game, then the planning of this game must be well balanced. After encountering so many civilizations, strictly speaking, only smart birds seem to come to deliver food. Even the weakest human beings once had For a period of time, it has owned a fleet that is much stronger than the Cat League.

This is the only smart bird. It seems that the matching mechanism has gone wrong. With an early space civilization that has just built the first kiloton space station, they are matched with a group of them who are already in space. The bad civilization played out.

Just weird.

"Warp drive charging...95%...96%..."

With the cooperation of Glory's own reactor and six professional power supply ships, the warp engine located in the deepest part of the hull is rapidly making the final preparations before launching the warp—this is a kind of red The ship specially developed to quickly charge the warp speed engine can be regarded as a flying high-power reactor, equipped with a huge number of super-large cooling plate modules that cannot be carried by a battleship, it is useless except for generating a large amount of electricity .

But with them, the warp drive can be recharged at nearly four times the speed, which greatly increases the flexibility of the fleet's maneuvering and makes it travel faster.

"Engine charged to 100%, activating the core... The core is activated, and the warp field is being generated."

After confirming that all fleets have entered the warp speed range, the Glory began to fully activate its engines in order to expand the range of the warp speed field as much as possible-although the warp speed bubble is too large, it will cause its The working efficiency of the engine has dropped severely, resulting in that even in a fully charged state, it can only drive the [-] million-ton fleet (computing auxiliary ships) to sail for tens of thousands of kilometers.

But in this case, tens of thousands of kilometers is enough.

"The warp field is about to close, start countdown 3,2,1, [-], [-]... start!"

The moment Hong gave the order, the warp-speed red light that was moving away from the observer suddenly brightened, and then less than one-fifth of a second later, the entire fleet appeared about a thousand kilometers away from the wormhole.

Due to the existence of the space distortion zone, the warp speed engine cannot take off or land in this area, so the fleet must get off the car in advance outside the distortion zone, and then sail through the hole with the conventional engine-this is also a small disadvantage of the warp speed engine Bar.

But the problem is not that big, it's just the difference between early and late, and it doesn't affect the overall situation.

It's time for the whole army to strike.

"Get ready to go through the hole!"

Volume 210 The Road to the Cat Alliance: Chapter [-] [-] Red Dangerous Technology: Artificial Intelligence

The assembly efficiency of the Pagan fleet was so high that the Tukekas could not believe it.

The whole process took less than two hours from the first batch of detectors reporting that the enemy warships began to move, to the time when all the more than [-] ships of various types had assembled and arrived at the entrance of the wormhole.

And the time-consuming of less than two hours is almost all due to the limited mobility of the battleship itself, not the efficiency of the enemy's army's assembly.

This is not like the assembly of a real army, but more like a game with low fidelity. The operator frames the troops a little bit, and all the soldiers start to gather towards the target point without any delay, as if there is no need to think about any related issues. Scheduling issues in general.

Tukeka thinks that he is already a very advanced civilization in the fields of overall scheduling and computing. At least among all the opponents he has encountered so far, none of them can be compared with them in related fields.

Even after receiving enlightenment from God, they gave up the route of mechanical intelligence, which scholars were very optimistic about, with low cost, high efficiency and great prospects, and started from scratch, the completely unfamiliar technology tree of biological computer. They still rely on the unremitting efforts of scholars to develop it to the point where all other civilizations can only look up to.

It is precisely because of such powerful calculation and scheduling capabilities that they are able to win repeated battles, completely wipe out all the dirty creatures that pollute this pure universe, and spread the glory of the Supreme Voice to the entire universe.

But after seeing such a terrifying assembly efficiency of the enemy, they immediately keenly realized that their opponents were stronger than them in this regard.

This is not something that can be explained by better computer performance. No matter how powerful your computing power is, as long as there is an environment that requires human intervention in the entire process, the response speed and assembly efficiency will inevitably be affected.

Because humans cannot be directly manipulated by computers.

And, although it sounds a bit arrogant, they can confidently say that it is almost impossible to have a civilization with the same level of technology, which can be stronger than Tukeka in the field of biological computers-they have exterminated two hive minds , and integrate all their unique biological computing technologies into one, and finally create a biological computer that is more powerful and flexible than the enemy's integrated circuit computer.

They don't feel that civilizations of the same level can defeat them in this field.

Then there is only one answer - the other party used that dangerous technology.

artificial intelligence.

"Didn't the other party's false gods tell them how dangerous this technology is?!" A bishop of computer science said in disbelief, "Trying to use a single circuit to simulate intelligence, and even let it control the civilization. All weapons, this just kills everyone!"

According to the oracles obtained by the Pure Dukes of the past generations, before God chose them as His chosen people, God actually chose another civilization as His disciples and placed high hopes on them-but the God at that time had just awakened, and the power Weakness made it possible for him to barely convey his pure will to those believers, but he was unable to issue a few brief oracles on some extremely important events as he is now.

Therefore, God can only watch helplessly as those believers continue to develop and grow this dangerous technology under the attack of the enemy's artificial intelligence, and are finally backlashed by it, turning into dust of history together with the opponent's civilization.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, after God chose Tukeka as his chosen people, the first key oracle He issued was to immediately abandon all computer-based weak artificial intelligence research, and pointed out another point of view for them. Road - biological computer.

Although the research and development is very difficult, and the versatility is not as good as that of electronic computers, but the advantage is that it uses the biological brain as the processing unit, so it can be physically connected with the thinking of Tukeka technicians, which is equivalent to direct human calculation, avoiding circuit simulation The problem that the weak artificial intelligence black box generated is uncontrollable.

Compared with being backbited due to the error of the weak artificial intelligence program, this kind of cost is obviously insignificant and completely acceptable, and after purifying two hive minds, one of them also adopted the bio-computer route. After swarming, their biological computers can also suppress the enemy's electronic computers in terms of performance.

Basically, except for some components that need to work under extreme working conditions, Tukka has basically eliminated the technology of electronic computers, and has developed a relatively poor performance but superior in safety and controllability through wetware connection technology. Intelligent computing, successfully avoided the problem of artificial intelligence, which is called by God as one of the great filters of civilization.

"A false god is a false god after all. It just wants those pathetic heretics to obtain souls for it. Even if it is backlashed by weak artificial intelligence, it will have no effect on it." The Grand Duke sneered, "Only the real The true God, the great supreme voice, will care so much about the lives of us believers, the difference between the true god and the false god is clear at a glance."

"What the Grand Duke said is very true."

The bishops agreed with this point of view—yes, the religious order actually knows the essence of the gods. Among other things, after fighting with the Taga civilization for so long, you should say that the other party did not launch a public opinion war to try to destroy their relationship with the gods. Trust between them is definitely impossible.

But they have no worries about it.

Let’s not talk about being His chosen people, as long as they keep implementing the goal of a pure universe, constantly hunting down alien scum, and providing sufficient energy for the gods, they will not be swallowed.

Even if it comes to the day when they are jointly blocked by other civilizations and cannot obtain the souls of any foreign races—then, it will be a great honor for the Tukekas to dedicate their lives to the great Supreme Voice and become a member of His Kingdom. an honor.

"However, since these ignorant heretics use dangerous technology and seem to have achieved greater success in this field than we have, then we must pay attention."

The Grand Duke gracefully took off the ring, played with it lightly, felt the faint connection with the great god, and ordered.

"Tell the soldiers of the religious order on the front line that if they are unfavorable in the early confrontation and cannot keep the heretics out of the wormhole, they can choose to retreat and give up this planet—it's just a lonely planet, not even The livable planet is just a simple mining star, even if it is given to them, it will not block the traffic of the other two wormholes.

"We still have seven galaxies waiting to be developed. The most important goal now is to preserve vitality and buy time for later production.

"Don't die there needlessly for the sake of so-called honor, it's a stupid act-remember, time is on our side."

"Yes, Grand Duke."

...

As soon as the cat alliance's vanguard fleet passed the hole, it was immediately hit head-on.

Although due to the sudden incident, the order's fleet has not even fully deployed the standard formation, and almost all the warships are crowded around the two fortresses, unable to form a front-to-back attack like when the order attacked the cat alliance star field. effect, but based on the difference in quantity of more than ten times, relying on power hard stacking can also produce quite good output.

Basically, by the time the first batch of main fleets entered the arena, the heat sinks of the dozens of warships that came in first had already been damaged in sevens and eighties—but it didn't matter, after all, the fleet had been perfectly completed. Their scheduled tactical missions opened up a safe environment for passing through the hole to ensure the safe entry of the main fleet.

War does not care how much equipment you lose or how much you lose, it only depends on whether the predetermined tactical goals are achieved, even if the losses are heavy, but as long as they complete the tasks they should do, then this is a "victory".

The command of machine intelligence is only to keep the loss close to the lower limit within the allowable range, rather than the extreme pursuit of reducing the loss-if the battle damage is really regarded as the first element, then obviously, not letting weapons go to the battlefield is the way to reduce the loss The easiest and best way to do it.

"Half of the warships have already entered the battlefield, and the total tonnage of the mobile fleets of the two sides in the battlefield has been equal."

"The tactical reconnaissance fleet has detected the first batch of barrages launched by the enemy. It is about 4400 kilometers away from our leading warship, and the bullet speed is 23.2 kilometers per second. It is expected to arrive in 190 seconds."

Very well lived up to expectations, the professional reconnaissance ship equipped with a large-scale phased array radar easily found these extremely small, almost completely invisible little guys at a distance twice as fast as before, and will leave it to the battleship to maneuver time is greatly improved.

In 232 seconds, even without afterburner, just using economic acceleration to evade is enough for the warship to deviate from the origin by 180 meters.

If you turn on a double power afterburner, the specific impulse is reduced to 1/3, the acceleration is increased by six times, and it can easily flash a distance of almost 1 kilometer.

In addition, even when the warship did not detect the incoming shells, it was still maneuvering irregularly. If you want to hit such a slicker, you still have a pair of bright eyes. The difficulty can be imagined.

"The route has been planned and is being avoided."

However, for the sake of avoiding heat, for these shells, Hong still adopts the strategy of hiding as soon as he can, and intercepting if he can't avoid it. After all, as the main cover low-speed shells, even with such a strong radar , like relying on pure dodging to avoid is also somewhat reluctant.

It seems that the opponent's understanding of electromagnetic guns is not much different from hers. As for those small number of electromagnetic axis gunships, there is a high probability that they are used to open cans against low-mobility reloading targets, rather than expecting them to be used in What role does it play in a frontal fleet battle.

"Among the newly built warships of the religious order, most of them are electromagnetic gun tactical support ships and laser battleships used for defensive operations. From this point, it can be seen that their strategic goal is indeed to stick to the homeland and wait for the rear star field development."

After the large strategic early warning ship entered the battlefield, Hong could finally abandon the previous armored detection ships with poor clarity and even small reconnaissance satellites, and start using these extremely powerful reconnaissance equipment instead.

With the support of these devices, Hong can clearly see the changes of the enemy's fleet in the past few years with unprecedented clarity, so as to make more accurate judgments for future combat strategies.

Yes, this time, Hong didn't expect to be able to completely take down the other side in one swoop like the previous extinct units. After all, these two civilizations seem to be extinct civilizations, but the actual situation is very different.

The extermination units at that time, although the fleet was extremely powerful and their industrial strength was also very good, none of this could change one thing—they were too close.

With almost no strategic buffer, which is equivalent to directly facing the mother star, unit 01 has no place to retreat. Once its main fleet approaches, it must engage in battle.

But the religious group is different, the religious group has a total of fourteen star systems, the galaxy that opened the wormhole is also very far away from its hinterland, and no matter where you go, there are at least two armed, A wormhole guarded by a large fortress.

That is not what they have seen so far. It is a small fortress that has been temporarily built in the past few years, but a real heavy fortress. Relying on the current strength of the Cat League, it is almost impossible to defeat the enemy fleet under the protection of such a fortress.

In addition, the planet where the wormhole is currently opened is not the same as the "livable" planet where the other two wormholes are located. Therefore, Hong believes that the church currently only has a [-] million fleet stationed locally. , it is definitely impossible to fight them to the end, but to fight them from a distance, make sense, and then give up this planet and retreat to the shit-red ammonia planet.

Fleet battles are like this. As long as one party is determined to run away, the attacker has almost no way to keep them, whether it is the navy on the planet back then or the space force in space today.

Everyone's speed is about the same. I just step on the accelerator and go. You can't just step on the accelerator and catch up. If you really want to chase like this, when you catch up to the enemy's large fortress, you will have to switch offense and defense.

"The enemy is evacuating their personnel."

Seeing all kinds of non-combat ships breaking away from the temporary fortress and slowly heading towards the shit-red planet 800 million kilometers away, Hong snapped his fingers lightly: "We can properly push the fleet forward, leaving their fleets forced to choose between an immediate evacuation and a more intense engagement with us for cover."

After a brief discussion, the staff group of the strategic command center also gave an affirmative answer.

"They're starting to retreat."

After judging the purpose of their fleet's forward pressure, the Tukekas did not hesitate at all, and decisively ordered the fleet to retreat-from a tactical point of view, this was the correct choice. After all, at such a long distance, as long as Let the fleet cover each other for a while, and you can retreat almost without risk. You don't have to worry about the fragile things like engine nozzles being knocked out, resulting in loss of maneuverability.

If it was to cover the retreat of other troops and was pushed up by the front of the cat alliance, it would not be so easy to retreat at that time-compared with some soldiers in the fortress who had not had time to evacuate, the space battleships were obviously more important many.

It's just that when this decision was made, the soldiers in the fortress who hadn't had time to evacuate were tantamount to being abandoned.

Without the restraint of the fleet, under the firepower of thousands of warships from the Cat League, the fortress lasted for less than an hour before completely losing all combat capabilities and becoming a mass of floating space junk.

After confirming that it was completely incapable of combat, Hong sent out the army sub-individuals to invade the already riddled fortress, trying to find some information from the central computer of the fortress, and even trying to capture some Tukeka for interrogation .

But unfortunately, when fighting racial cleanliness, such a dream is obviously unrealistic-shortly after the army invaded, the enemy detonated the nuclear bomb hidden in the fortress, completely turning all the information into a ball of shining light Firelight in the starry sky.

Abandoning soldiers who didn't have time to evacuate and making them bait to cover the retreat of the fleet undoubtedly sounds very cruel.

But in fact, even if Hong Lai was allowed, she would try her best not to put people in such a dangerous place, and if she had to, she would try her best to ensure that all personnel could be evacuated before the fleet withdrew.

But if it really came to the point where she had to choose between the two, she would also make such a decision.

After all, this is war, not play.

And war is about killing people.

Volume 210 The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] Encountering an Unknown Civilization Warship

After confirming that the order fleet had been completely evacuated and all other armed forces on the planet had been wiped out, Red began operations on the planet without stopping.

First, the fast-reverse skyhook was transported directly from the rear to shoot on the planetary orbit to open up the rapid logistics of the world, and then the engineering ship began to build a space station for the task of providing transit and reserve supplies for the fleet.

After the things on the orbit are almost ready, the industrial stations will be deployed to the ground to carry out some simple mining and production operations, and provide the fleet with cheap supplies from the local area.

This planet is a very ordinary, very traditional rocky planet, small in size, with a thin atmosphere, and because it is closer to the star, its metal content is much higher than that of the ammonia planet. Quite suitable for development.

In fact, Tukeka itself has some industrial stations on this planet. As long as all the modules with processing functions are replaced with our own, it can basically be used with confidence.

It's just that because they use a biological computer architecture that Hong basically doesn't know much about, it's very difficult to replace it with an integrated circuit computer, and just to be on the safe side, Hong finally decided to return all of them to the furnace and refine them into raw materials, and then Use these raw materials to manufacture your own equipment.

This makes them develop the planet a little slower, but it's not a big problem-because in fact, although increasing their own output is also very fragrant, this is not their main purpose of this attack.

Her real purpose is to reduce the opponent's output.

The number of exploitable planets on both sides is constant, and if they snatch one more, it means that Tukeka loses one. The gap between the two sides narrowed suddenly.

Because of the depth of the opponent's grand strategy, it is unrealistic to start a decisive battle like they did against the extinct units before—even if they worked hard to demolish the heavy orbital fortress guarding the two wormholes , the opponent can still transfer the remaining fleet to the rear.

Because according to Hong's existing information, there are also fortresses in the two adjacent religious group galaxies. Used against their super heavy fortress, but it's no problem to stop their crippled fleet.
