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

What they rely on is always a majestic and magnificent industry.

So far, they have never lost to any civilization in the competition industry, whether it is killing bee colonies, population cleanliness, countries that believe in chaos, or other totalitarian countries.

They never fail.

Never, never will.

"Long live Lupers!"

After realizing that the enemy was really not as powerful as they had imagined, they stood up straight, their heads raised, their expressions full of fanaticism.

Now that the enemy's main force has retreated, there is naturally only one thing left to do.

"All fleet, attack!"

...

"The Lupers fleet has all entered the solar system." Hong sat in front of the table, crossing his fingers under his head, "It is estimated that in 10 minutes, my fleet will have to retreat—if it is later, it will be too late."

"Ah..." The commander-in-chief of the Pan-Asian military shook his head, looking a little lonely, "Unexpectedly, in less than 200 years (Note 1), we were once again invaded by a hostile civilization. The solar system... didn't even resist, and just gave up our home star."

"I'm also very sorry about this." Hong calmed the old commander with words, "It's not your fault, or even any of you's fault—for the long-term future of everyone, for theirs. We will have to do this in the future.”

"We understand that most people understand and accept this, so you don't need to care about it." The commander's voice was still full of sorrow, "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"understand."

Hong nodded and kept silent, so as to give the other party some time to buffer his emotions.

Although the front line is fiercely exchanging fire (unilateral beatings), since all non-Cat Alliance fleets have evacuated the earth in an orderly manner under Red's arrangement, those who should go to the UFC should go back to their own territory Returning to her own territory, and the fact that the cat alliance fleet that is currently beating the opponent is only for collecting data and not for the sake of a decisive battle with the opponent, so in fact she has nothing very important and needs to let them know immediately information.

In fact, this evacuation was not as "cowardly" as it sounds-although in the theory of space warfare, planets that have lost their orbits are nothing more than fish on the chopping board in front of the space fleet, no matter how much the army and air defense are, they are nothing more than It can ensure the safety of the population on the planet, but there is almost no possibility of effectively countering the orbit blockade and re-entering space. Therefore, the basic defense concept of "the army is basically useless, and losing in space is all losing" was born.

But it should be noted that the premise of this conclusion is based on the situation of only looking at the planet itself. Once other planets, other star fields, or even other forces are involved, this conclusion will not be so tenable feet up.

Although the planetary defense force can only protect the safety of the population, it cannot play a counter-offensive role, but for them now, being able to protect the population is enough-with this condition as a foundation, they can purely attack from the overall situation of the battle. Consider, let the fleet all evacuate from the earth, and at the same time, most people can understand and accept the decision of the fleet to "abandon" them, instead of being forced to fight a doomed battle here in order to protect their own people.

"Oh, forget it, don't think about these things anymore, the days ahead will be long."

The old commander shook his head and dismissed the topic.

"So, respected Your Excellency Hong." He raised his head, the confusion just now had been replaced by determination, "Is your 'wonderful solution' ready?"

"of course."

Hearing this question, Hong Na was excited—after all, this was what she boasted before, saying that she had lower risks and better returns than either of the 'Earth Defenders' and the 'Strategic Retreaters' The "wonderful solution".

In order to implement this solution, Hong has been making Li's factory work overtime for the past few days to manufacture special equipment and warships, and let the Glory class drop the task of warp speed for the fleet, and specially ran back to transport things for a few days. The most important thing is to build all the spaceships and equipment needed for the plan before the arrival of the enemy fleet.

Now, all preparations are done.

It's time for these uninvited guests who came from afar to have a taste of this classic tactic with a long history, which has been used by weak countries against strong countries since ancient times, and has repeatedly achieved miraculous results.

"Number 2945, ready."

PS: Although Maomao has always controlled the use of the Earth Year only on the human side so that human readers can substitute, and other forces uniformly use the Cat League Year, but there is no way, the concept of the two years still confuses many human readers, I don't know the year of the cat league, how long is the year of the cat league...

Therefore, for the sake of convenience, starting from this chapter, except for the distance unit of light-year, all other years use the cat league year, and explain the cat league calendar:

Hours, minutes and seconds are equivalent, 48 hours a day, 61 days a year, divided into 4 months, 1 days from January to March, 3 days in April, every five years in a leap year, April in a leap year has 15 days.

It can be seen that the month is basically equivalent to the human month, and then three Catus years are basically equal to one human year. In short, 1 Catus day = 2 days, and 3 years = 1 year.

It’s not that cats and cats have to add trouble. This is mainly designed to match the observation data of the Catus galaxy in reality. For the sake of perception, I have already equated the hours, minutes, seconds and months, out of personal preference , the remaining points of rationality can still be observed, so please try to abide by it——Please forgive me for the trouble caused by this.

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

Volume IV Industry and Power: Chapter 251 Time

Today's solar system is very noisy.

The battle in the distance was coming to an end. After measuring the power of the enemy's main ship's plasma cannon at the cost of a team of specially modified suicide spaceships, the cat alliance battleship also began to retreat.

Although the engine performance of these warships of the Great Rupert Kingdom is very good, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole ship is obviously stronger than their warships, if they are engaged in a chase battle, they may really be able to catch up.

However, it is a pity that Hong had already predicted the possibility that the performance of his own engine would be suppressed by the enemy through the previous reconnaissance operations. Under the speed and organization that made all Lupers dumbfounded, the team of nearly five hundred It only took about 15 minutes for a fleet of four warships to complete the docking with the Yuanyu ferry that had already set their poses, and then galloped away at an acceleration more than twice that of conventional warships, leaving only There was a row of distant figures.

The whole process was astonishingly fast, without any unnecessary movements, as if this was not a whole fleet sailing in the universe, but a precision machine that fit perfectly.

Even, when they docked with the "mothership", they did not forget to continue to output firepower to their fleet-God knows why the other party put a cannon port into the engine pile at the stern? !

Obviously, this ability to maintain super-organization and command in an extremely complex environment is definitely not something that humans can do. It is difficult for even bee swarms to have this level of organization and speed, let alone intelligence. Look, although the details of this cat alliance are unknown, it can be determined that it is not a bee colony, but a civilization composed of ordinary organisms like them.

It can be imagined with the tip of the tail that the AI ​​level of the fleet of this cat alliance must be very high, so high that even they can't match it.

Unlike most of the civilizations they encountered that were hostile to AI, the Great Rupert Kingdom is actually a civilization that pays attention to AI technology - it is not difficult to imagine, after all, they are so advocating power and power, thinking that only in the extreme Civilization can only prosper and prosper under the management of human beings. Obviously, AI technology is a very good tool to achieve this goal.

The premise is that this tool is good enough to use, enough... controllable.

Therefore, in the Great Rupert Country, the work done by AI is more about suggestions than decision-making. The technicians carefully modify the code of AI to ensure that the judgments and suggestions it makes will not contradict the leader's ideas, and ensure that its Not to make some arguments that everyone doesn't like.

Of course, the Lupers will not think there is any problem with this-the AI's judgment is not completely correct, and they will also make mistakes. Instead of believing in the black box codes in these computers, they are glorious, great, and immortal, and at the same time they are their own kind. A living leader is obviously more worthy of the trust of the Lupers.

But on this basis, the army's AI is already the most autonomous in the AI ​​field of the entire Great Rupert Country. The new generation of warships can even fight fully automatically in non-complex environments, intelligently select targets to attack, And it can adapt to more complex environments with some artificial assistance-this performance is higher than any currently known alien civilization.

Even in many civilizations, Lupers are often referred to as "ignorant people who sold their souls to AI", thinking that they have given AI too many dangerous rights - look, they actually allow an AI to Decide who the battleship fires at!

This is simply too evil, too profane, and too dangerous!

Who knows if these soulless machines will one day turn their cannons on their creators!

Ban it, ban it, definitely ban it!

If we can't help but discard these artificial intelligences, how can civilization have a bright future!

The whole environment is roughly like this.

Lupers believes that he is already very open in terms of AI technology. After all, it is enough to prove their sincerity that Lupers, who naturally distrust aliens, choose to hand over such important power to AI.

It's really hard for them to imagine, what kind of civilization dares to surpass them in this respect?

Are you so crazy that you don't worry about the risks of AI program errors and betrayal?

The Lupers are puzzled, but since the opponent is so courageous, they can’t justify not doing anything—under the guidance of the leader, many experts have already begun to demonstrate that "using network hacking methods to paralyze the enemy's advanced AI Feasibility of a standardized control system.

After all, the Great Rupert Kingdom is very confident in its computer and AI technology.

"The performance of their plasma cannons is much stronger than what we estimated before." After deducing the general performance of the three major indicators of the enemy warship's firepower, mobility, and protection through the collected data, Hong hugged the tablet computer. , Explained, "According to calculations, the speed of the plasma cluster fired by the enemy's main gun is about 2500 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to 0.83% of the speed of light, which is about 1000 kilometers per second higher than the plasma cannon in Riga.

"At the same time, while the speed is greatly increased, its mass has also reached an astonishing approximately 500 grams, which is 2.5 times that of Riga's plasma cannon, which means that the kinetic energy of the plasma cluster launched by Lupus is about 7 times that of Riga - which is more than that of Riga. Our previous estimates were at least 30% higher."

"There must be no head-on fire with these warships."

Almost as soon as they heard this data, everyone at the scene confirmed this idea—the kinetic energy of a 2500-gram plasma cluster flying at a speed of 500 kilometers per second has reached a full 1.6 terajoules, which is equivalent to nearly 400 tons TNT equivalent!

This level of kinetic energy can easily penetrate into the core area when hitting any of their warships except the flagship at medium and short distances. If the flagship is solid, there is a high probability that the armor will not be guaranteed. We can only gamble on the resistance of the structural layer. Resistance, at most it is more resistant than ordinary warships for a period of time. It is wishful thinking to expect to be as strong as the previous laser battle.

Moreover, due to the substantial increase in its speed, the range of the opponent's plasma cannon is correspondingly farther - at least judging from the distance from the suicide spacecraft sent to test its power, the range of the opponent's capital ship's plasma cannon is at least There are 8000 kilometers. If combined with some data obtained from the wreckage of the Riga warship before, its limit range is likely to be stuck on this line of [-] kilometers.

Although this is undoubtedly extremely short compared with the single pusher class whose true range has reached 2.8 kilometers after several rounds of upgrades in recent decades, the fleet cannot always rely on the range kite after all.

Even without considering the propulsion performance of the battleship itself, the difference in maneuverability caused by the different positions of the defensive/attacking side, as long as they have buildings/planets to guard, then one day, they will have nowhere to retreat and can only fight in a certain place. The target must be defended against enemy fleets around it.

In addition to the range advantage, they also need a certain close-range combat capability. Not to mention defeating them within the superior range of the Lupers warships, at least they must be able to make two gestures with the Lupers. If you are rushed in by the fleet, you will be helpless.

At present, Hong already has several ideas to solve this problem-there are actually many methods. After all, the dominant position of the laser ship is there. The combat power of the same tonnage is 1:1. Therefore, Hong only needs to add a certain amount of melee combat capability to the fleet to ensure the safety of the main laser ship, and leave the rest to the single pusher.

However, there are many methods, but all of them encounter a common stumbling block.

The stumbling block is time.

No matter what kind of plan it is, it must be implemented in the construction of specific warships in the end, and in order to fight against the opponent's huge fleet that is at least several times larger than the cat alliance, they need more warships.

It will take time to build more warships, the rapidly expanding industrial system will take time, and it will also take time to develop new weapons, armor, and warships specialized for the warships of the Great Rupert Kingdom.

Time, time, time everywhere.

In order to complete the plan in the shortest possible time, Hong wished to break a day into 96 hours - but don't say she couldn't do it, even if she could do it, just twice the time is far from what she envisioned degree.

Even if only considering these two main invading fleets, Hong estimates that it will take at least ten to twenty years to expand the fleet to the point where it can compete 20-[-] with the opponent under the advantage of the home field. If there is a battle, or if the opponent has more reinforcements in the future, the number and time requirements will be even higher.

They need time.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Hong never considered the plan of retreating to the border of his own side, and out of prudent considerations, he did not choose to gather all the warships on the earth to all in the opponent. Facts have proved that this decision is very correct, although the opponent The armor's resistance to lasers is weaker than imagined, but the opponent's mobility and firepower are much higher than the expected increase than the decrease in resistance.

If they really choose to fight to the death on Earth, in the ideal situation, after destroying two-thirds of the opponent's fleet, the price will be the complete annihilation of their own camp.

Even if there is no follow-up reinforcements, the opponent can easily flatten their own star field with the remaining fleet, and the war will be completely defeated.

Obviously, if the three civilizations work together and work together to be tough, then everyone will retreat to the border and stick to it, and it will be even more useless. Therefore, after getting the detailed performance of the opponent's warship, everyone will keep silent about the previous plan. , and turned to fully support Hong's "guerrilla warfare plan".

Yes, guerrilla warfare.

After a whole hundred years, this classic tactic that once shined brilliantly in interplanetary wars and helped many weak countries defeat the strong has finally bloomed again in the long history of civilization and in this vast expanse of land. above the sky.

Only this time, they had the same sharp weapon.

"The self-inspection is complete, and everything is normal in No. 2945."

A fleet of battleships quietly orbited an orange-yellow planet. The sun's dazzling light spanned a long distance and sprinkled on the silver-white armor plates of these battleships, shining brightly.

"The charging of the warp speed engine has been completed, the current energy storage is 100%, and it is waiting for the next order."

"Thank you for your help, we will remember you and your civilization, number 2945."

Red stroked her chest lightly with one hand, thanking her.

"Hello, respected leader of the cat alliance, Your Excellency Hong, I don't understand what you mean." However, for Hong's thanks, No. 2945 did not intend to respond at all, "Please note that No. 2945 has never promised to thank you. Your civilization provides assistance in combat with any other non-corrupt civilization, and you are not authorized to use No. 2945 for any non-research activities. According to the provisions of the Span Rui Civilization Warship Control Agreement, when you find any behavior beyond the agreement , No. 2945 should stop this."

"Yes, you are right."

Hearing these words, Hong smiled and nodded: "So, how should this battleship fight to maximize its guerrilla capabilities?"

"For your question, No. 2945 must make a serious response, which is beyond the agreement." The voice of No. 2945 is very serious. Adjust the parameters to XXX, don't reserve 30% of the energy for quick restart at warp speed, don't keep a distance of 500 kilometers after landing, don't use the main gun to attack the enemy's core area first, don't... all of the above actions Don't do it, or it will lead to maximizing guerrilla capabilities!"

"Okay, got it, thanks for your help."

"Repeat, No. 2945 did not provide any help." It still insisted on its own words, "Please don't come to No. 2945 to ask whether No. 2945 can be used for war against non-corrupt civilizations-my answer is It won't change!"

"Understood, we will not use No. 2945 for war against non-corrupt civilizations." Hong nodded, and passed a document, "So, this battleship is not No. 2945, right? "

The other party looked carefully for a moment, and said firmly: "No!"

"So, we also didn't use 2945 for activities outside the agreement, such as war or something, did we?"

"That's right!"

"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation, Your Excellency Red."

The conversation is over.

"Isn't this just deception?" Regarding the one-person-one-machine conversation, Li said that the conversation is full of slots, "As long as the other party's main engine is removed from that battleship and installed on another battleship, that battleship is not" Ship No. 2945 has been handed over'—doesn't Span Ruiwen feel that this judgment is too easy to deceive?"

In fact, the flaws in this process are far from this one. How did Hong know about this extremely flawed judgment mechanism?

You can think of it with the tip of your tail, this is exactly what No. 2945 revealed to them.

Although it specifically emphasized "don't do this after talking about the disassembly process, otherwise it will cause the No. 2945 host to break away from the battleship as permitted by the agreement, making it unable to continue to perform the task of controlling the battleship."

But obviously, this is the same as when stores sold "grape bricks" during Prohibition, and then there was a note on them that said, "Please do not leave the grape bricks out of the freezer after soaking for more than 21 days, or it will turn into wine."

Pure deception.

Obviously, although this No. 2945 is a weak AI, it is also a weak AI. Its intelligence is much stronger than most ordinary weak AIs, and it can compete with the red weak AI split— —It will even use this method to avoid the agreement restrictions left over from the Span Rui civilization, and to help the Cat League do some things that the agreement does not allow.

For a weak AI, this is really "high intelligence" that is hard to imagine. Moreover, this level of intelligence is only the level of an ordinary master AI on an ordinary battleship.

It has to be said that this is really a very advanced civilization—Red hopes that they can reach it one day, or even surpass it.

"There's no way, they have an agreement to limit, so they can only do this." Hong waved his hand, "Don't care about this, what we need to pay more attention to now is how to use this advanced destroyer to fight for us. as much time as possible.

"Guerilla can help us delay a lot of time—but it's not enough."

"We need more time."

PS: Maomao will finish all 30 chapters plus updates this month!

The reason why I stretched my hips last month was that I overestimated my codeword speed, and found that even if I had nothing to do during the day, I often didn’t think about codewords. Let’s take a break. After resting, it will be night. Second, I thought Three or five chapters at most, I didn't expect there to be a box...

But this month must be paid off, and if I don’t pay it off, my conscience will be overwhelmed. There must be some movement when a box goes down.
