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

Moreover, the relationship between the two is not completely corresponding. Take yttrium barium copper oxide as an example. Under a magnetic field of 2 T, its critical current density is about 770kA/cm², and the product of the two is 1540; but at 5 Under a magnetic field of T, its critical current density is about 420kA/cm?, and the product of the two is 2100.

Looking at this alone, one might think that the increase of the magnetic field will be faster than the decrease of the current density. Therefore, in the case of an electromagnetic gun that needs both at the same time, it is only necessary to increase the magnetic field without thinking, but in fact , in the magnetic field of 4 T, the critical current density of yttrium barium copper oxide has reached 640kA/cm², and the product is 2560, which is higher than the previous two cases!

Therefore, for a device that needs to use superconductivity, how to choose a suitable superconducting material and comprehensively consider all aspects to select the optimal magnetic field and current has become a very particular subject. For example, in the construction of the Ring Card At the Tus Equatorial Particle Collider, the paper data of yttrium-barium-copper-oxygen was obviously better, but in actual construction, the red used more niobium-tin superconducting alloys. The reason is that it took a fancy to it Better machinability.

Of course, with the research in recent years, the cost is lower, the yield rate, processing time and performance have been greatly improved. The new YBCO processing technology has come out, and YBCO has replaced The original low-temperature superconducting two brothers, namely the famous niobium-titanium alloy (NbTi) and niobium-tin alloy (Nb3sn), have successfully increased the exit speed of the large electromagnetic shaft gun to the level of [-] kilometers.

It can be said that for superconducting large electromagnetic guns, the improvement of its performance is almost entirely dependent on the progress of superconducting materials, and the two are always inseparable.

No matter how advanced the technology of the niobium-titanium alloy electromagnetic gun is, and regardless of the cost of various cutting-edge equipment, it is impossible to achieve the performance of the standard niobium-tin alloy electromagnetic gun, which is more advanced than the yttrium-barium-copper-oxygen electromagnetic gun. It's as ridiculous as a toy.

"If we use the material data used by our electromagnetic gun as a benchmark, and assume that the opponent's superconducting material can optimize the electromagnetic gun very well, then their theoretical performance should be ours..."

"Twenty-five times?"

Hong tilted his head, and said a number that was enough to scare people into flying.

"That's too bad!" Stuart propped his hands on the table with a 'snap', his face was full of disbelief, "Isn't that Akachi swarm just four times more? That's all they have It can make the electromagnetic gun hit 4 kilometers per second faster, wouldn't this 300 times speed be 8 kilometers per second?!"

"almost."

Hong nodded, confirming that Zai Zai's guess was correct.

"However, although the performance of this thing as an electromagnetic gun is outstanding. In theory, an electromagnetic gun with a track length of 800 meters can reach a speed of nearly 400 kilometers per second, but they did not choose to do so. "

Hong shrugged: "Actually, in their fleet organization, electromagnetic shaft guns are only used by secondary warships, and their main purpose is to slightly fill up their firepower at medium and long distances, so as not to cause damage in the middle and long distances." Beyond the range of the plasma cannon, there is no power to fight back.

"Therefore, their electromagnetic gun technology is not very strong, and the servo equipment and design are average, and the data is pulled up purely by their zenith-star superconducting materials, so the 600-meter-orbit axis gun ship has a slow speed. But more than 200 kilometers per second, slightly worse than the guns of the Akachi swarm."

"That is not bad."

Hearing this, Stuart exhaled, and patted his chest lightly, which seemed to be half relieved.

"but..."

Before she could let go of her heart completely, Hong said a meaningful "but", which directly pulled her heart back - life experience told her that in any sentence that uses the word "but", usually the second half The parts are the really important parts.

"but what?"

Zai Zai stood up "swish", and nervously leaned his face in front of Hong, staring at her with emerald green eyes as beautiful as jewels, for fear that she would tell any more unacceptable news.

"Although their electromagnetic gun technology is average, slightly weaker than the Akachi swarm, but..."

Hong intentionally elongated the tail tune, and deliberately bought a pass - of course, within a few seconds, before Stuart was about to stretch out his hand to pinch his face, he was defeated, and honestly said this "but" Later words.

"However, their laser and particle beam technology is much worse than electromagnetic guns!"

As Hong spoke, she quietly hid her tail behind her back to prevent Stuart from getting angry and scratching her tail—although it was just a slapstick, and it wouldn't hurt or hurt, but for her, being caught tail or something , still feel a little ashamed.

Don't scratch the cat's tail!

"Oh, I was shocked." Fortunately, because the previous discussion was too serious, Stuart didn't realize that Hong was actually teasing her on purpose, "I thought, what are you going to say,'although they The railgun is not strong, but the other weapons are very powerful' or something."

"Then don't worry about it." Hong hurriedly diverted Zai Zai's attention away with other topics, "Current information from all parties shows that this Great Rupert Kingdom really points out some differences in addition to the plasma cannon technology line. Except for ordinary things, most of the other weapon technologies are mediocre, not as strong as we imagined—of course, there is nothing to say about the magnetic field, it is truly superb, and we are currently incomparable.

"At present, the high performance of the opponent's warships is basically obtained by piles of materials. The central idea is to make a miracle with great effort, add whatever is not enough, and pile up the armor, so this kind of obvious It's less than [-] meters long than our single-push human class, but its mass is five times that of ours."

"Indeed." Zai Zai agreed with this statement, "Obviously most of the applied science and technology fields are much better than us, and this kind of Zenith-star superconducting material is at least 100 years ahead of us, right? The result is simply Play the combat power of the same tonnage of the battleship to the same level as our single pusher class."

"What a reckless waste."*2

Hong and Stuart said in unison.

"Speaking of which, Mom." After criticizing the stupid scientific research ability of the Great Rupert, Stuart came behind Hong who was crossing his legs on the chair, and put his arm on her shoulder, and asked, "Since Their superconducting alloy is so powerful, and we have data shared by many consortiums, can we..."

She gently rubbed the red collar, said slowly.

"Copy it... out?

"After all, although we have a gap with them in many fields, but at present, the most significant and also the most important gap is this superconducting alloy.

"As long as the preparation method of this alloy is cracked, even if there is no progress in other fields, the specific manufacturing method of the opponent's plasma cannon will not be available. Just applying this alloy to our current laser can easily improve the performance. A step?"

Although interrogative sentences are used at the end, it is clear that Stewart is very sure that her idea is correct-after all, not only the performance of electromagnetic guns is linked to superconducting materials, but particle cannons and free electron lasers will also be derived from superconducting materials. benefit from progress.

Although the relationship between the two and superconducting materials is not as great as that of electromagnetic guns, even if the materials do not improve, they can also improve the performance of these weapons in other ways.

This can be seen from the fact that free electron lasers have increased their range from 1 kilometers to the current range of 2 kilometers-but, it cannot be denied that better materials will definitely have a positive effect on their performance. , the degree of influence is not small.

Moreover, the Cat League is not completely devoid of electromagnetic guns. Although their capital ships do not have electromagnetic guns, in the queue of secondary warships, the Hulu-class tactical support ships that mainly use low-velocity projectiles have gone to sea.

Once you can get the preparation method of this alloy, even if it is much inferior to the genuine one, it can easily increase the bullet speed of the Hulu class by two or three times, and maybe even increase the combat effectiveness of the large electromagnetic axis gunship to " can be used”.

After all, the reason why they don't equip electromagnetic shaft guns is never because they don't like it. No one would deny a weapon for this reason-they don't use it because the performance of electromagnetic guns is simply not up to To the demand of the main battle weapon.

As far as Maomeng's 500-meter orbital speed of 140 kilometers per second is concerned, even if it is calculated based on the "60-second watershed" in their model, it has just reached a range of 8400 kilometers.

Let’s take a look at Maomeng, after two rounds of large-scale upgrades in the past few years, the range has been increased from 2.5 kilometers to 2.8 kilometers, and the Maomao single-push human-to-human modification I level, and the glorious flagship that will touch 4 kilometers soon.

To be honest, the dog shook his head when he saw it.

"If you can really learn the other party's technique of preparing this material, then the answer is yes." Hong nodded, "Even if it is a conservative estimate, the performance of our imitation is reduced to 75% of the version used by the Great Rupert Country. , that will at least allow the single pusher and the Glory class to break through the [-] and [-] km mark respectively."

"At the same time, the performance of the electromagnetic gun will also be greatly improved, reaching a level worthy of me making an electromagnetic shaft gun ship and incorporating it into the main fleet."

"But..." Hong changed the subject again, "It's not that simple if you want to steal a lesson."

"Let's not say that we don't have any physical materials for reverse engineering. Even if there are, it is really difficult to decipher its manufacturing process from such a lonely piece of material—after all, reverse engineering has never been possible. It’s not something you can do with a prototype.”

"If it's really that simple, our technology has long since spread with foreign trade, and it's not like it is now, which still allows them to try and study hard."

"That's true."

Stuart nodded thoughtfully, and put his index finger lightly on his lips: "However, I don't think that my beautiful, cute and stupid...smart mummy will shrink back in the face of such difficulties. "

"Did you just want to say stupid cute?"

Hong keenly caught the syllables in Zai Zai's words.

"Absolutely not." Stuart shook his head quickly, "Look at my eyes, how innocent! Does it look like I'm going to lie to you?"

"picture."

Red doesn't show any face

"Let's get on with the business." Stuart, who has never fought against the wind, decisively skipped the topic, "So, Mom, do you have any ideas on how to obtain this material?"

"It does."

Hong sighed, and chose to forget the topic just now - after all, she is so smart and cute, how could anyone think she is stupid and cute?

"However, it is not our unilateral, hard cracking behind closed doors."

While talking, Hong switched the tablet in hand to the star map mode, and clicked on the opponent's core star field, which is headed by their home star 'Ruperstein', surrounded by 13 long-established and loyal Lupersteins. Star field of planet Perth.

"History tells us that a strong fortress often collapses not by violence from the outside, but from an unknown crack inside."

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Isn't it?"

Volume 256 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] Cat Radio

Although through the alliance, Hong obtained a large amount of precious information about the Great Rupert Kingdom, confirmed the other party's industrial, military, and technological levels, and quantified the advantages and disadvantages of the Cat League in various fields, which is of inestimable value.

But in fact, the most important information brought to her by the entire alliance is not warships, industries, or the like, nor is it the real-time vision they obtained through the spy satellite network covering a small half of the territory of the Great Rupert Country.

It is the "being of the union" itself.

This country, which has only become independent from the Great Rupert Country in the past 200 years and aims to overthrow the brutal rule of the Great Rupert Country and allow people to gain "the dignity of living", tells them one thing with unprecedented strength—— In the country of Greater Rupert, there is opposition.

Their rule is not impeccable and monolithic, nor is their control of members seamless. In this country that has been shrouded in totalitarianism for more than 3000 years, even the language has been systematically deleted to make people completely lose resistance. In the civilization of ideas, there are still a group of people who are unwilling to accept such a future, and resist their high-handed rule at the cost of their lives. .

Their will to resist has not been completely worn away.

There is still fire in the dark.

Although the alliance did not talk about anything about the underground intelligence organization they set up in the Greater Rupert country, and it is even less likely to tell Hong the detailed information about the resistance organization in the Greater Rupert country, many things often do not need to be stated clearly.

With Hong's intellect, it's only a matter of time to understand the mystery.

"Grand Rupert's strict control over information about us, combined with its almost non-existent civilian network, keeps our existence from the vast majority of people."

Hong handed the tablet with the document displayed to Stuart.

"Not to mention our specific system or something, the people don't even know that there is a wormhole connecting to a new civilization in this direction.

"The intelligence organization of the Federation only knows that a new wormhole has appeared nearby, and there is a civilization called the Cat League behind it, but until we took the initiative to get in touch with it, they knew nothing about our system—— I have to say that Lupers' information management is really good, which is in stark contrast to their rough technology tree and industrial equipment."

"really."

The golden-haired fox girl nodded, affirming Hong's statement.

"But that's it." Hong snapped his fingers, and turned the document to the middle page, "After getting enough data, I have initially formulated a plan for the cultural invasion of the Great Rupert Country. He also ordered the breaking fleet to start to reserve the required resources for the plan and refit the various equipment required by the plan.

"Just wait until everything is ready to start digging these Lupers' corners."

"How does Hong plan to circumvent their information control?" Stuart was a little puzzled, "I remember, doesn't the Great Rupert Country not have a decent nationwide civilian Internet?"

"Yes, but that doesn't matter." Hong waved his hand, "For a totalitarian country at the level of the Great Rupert Country, even if there is a national Internet, we can't be the opponents of those who have home court advantage—they Information regulation alone can render our efforts futile.

"So, from the very beginning, I didn't intend to work on the Internet."

"Then what should be done?"

Zai Zai tilted his head, wondering.

"The answer is radio." Hong switched the file to the relevant page, "You know, using radio to evolve is a classic operation that has appeared in the history of every civilization. It has been tried and tested—whether it is ideals defeating reality, or Reality disintegrates ideals, and the collapse of any camp is always inseparable from the long signal that spans space.

"The only difference is that this time, we've really lived up to the 'ideal' we preached."

Hong smiled slightly.

"It's time for these Lupers to see what it means to reduce the dimensionality of thought."

...

At first, no one paid any attention to the radio signals of the group calling itself 'The League of Cats'.

Although there are indeed some Lupers who violate the prohibition and secretly assemble prohibited equipment to listen to those prohibited broadcast signals, especially in those "chicken rib" galaxies that are remote, have a small population, are not rich in resources, and are not bordered by other civilizations, because With the rapid decline of the control power of the Great Rupert State, this phenomenon is even more frequent.

Somewhat counterintuitively, the Thought Police of Greater Rupert are actually focused on their bureaucracy, and secondarily on intellectuals and the military who cannot use the 'dumb policy' because of the need for expertise, and for a The foundation of the country, the common people, lacks interest.

Even, in some tasteless galaxies with very weak governance, the Thought Police often "discover clues but are too lazy to pursue them"-this is not the kind of intentional long-term fishing after discovery, but really throwing it away After that, ignore it.

Anyway, whatever you like, as long as you don't do anything substantive against the Great Rupert Kingdom, they don't even have any interest in putting you on the list.

Therefore, this has produced a very strange phenomenon-no one dares to investigate at the top of the bureaucracy, and ordinary civilians basically don't need to care about it because of the success of the fooling policy, and it's almost enough to be fooled occasionally.

But the ordinary officials caught in the middle are being punched hard every day, and if they show any flaws, they will be caught and "probated" by following the vines. In other civilizations, this kind of behavior is properly digging at the corners of their own walls while hitting the mainstay. Purely don't want to die.

But what is very outrageous is that this big Rupert country not only did not play itself to death, but even dug thicker and thicker corners, smashed more and more pillars, and made a straddle from a former space civilization on Ruperstein. With a huge interstellar empire of 93 galaxies, people have to wonder if these Lupus are born with M shakers, the kind who feel uncomfortable if they are not under high-pressure management.

If it weren't for the existence of the union to prove that the normal Rupersian trend of thought after breaking away from the Great Rupert Country was indeed anti-totalitarian, maybe Hong would really consider whether their "liberation" was just wishful thinking.

Fortunately, it turns out that this guess is wrong. The way of thinking of the Lupus is not much different from theirs. Under the seemingly calm and worry-free water, there are indeed hidden but genuine things that are invisible to the naked eye. An undercurrent of existence.

It's just that this undercurrent is really weak.

Because there are too many illegal signals passing through the territory of the Great Rupert Country, every civilization and every underground organization is promoting their ideas, and different, even diametrically opposite views are colliding in various places. Confused by these "hope tinders" who are the few of the few, I don't know who to listen to.

A prohibited listener may still be listening to the declaration of human rights by the Rupers United in the morning, thinking that he is an "advanced authoritarian" who wants to overthrow the totalitarian rule of the Great Rupers and return some rights to the people.

In the afternoon, I began to listen to the views of Lupers' reformers, who believed that the corrupt elements in the bureaucracy should be hit hard, and the real and benevolent totalitarianism should be restored in this starry sky.

After dinner in the evening, I began to feel that the views of the Lupus National Revival Organization seemed to be reasonable, and began to shout that Lupus was number one in the world, and all alien scum would die.

Even because of this chaotic scene, some "Tinder" who were not very firm at first felt that what the totalitarians said seemed to be true. These chaoticists who couldn't even understand their own internal opinions, How could it bring Lupers a bright future, thus re-embracing the totalitarian rule, even stronger than ordinary people's belief in totalitarianism.

After all, they have really seen the "chaos" of those outside chaoticists-not only did listening to prohibited broadcasts not make them oppose the Great Rupert Country, but it also made them frustrated, making them more convinced that totalitarianism was correct.

Hong had to suspect that the reason why the Great Rupert Country did not strictly investigate the prohibited listening was because of the high technical difficulty on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because of considerations that made them dizzy.

After all, after so many years of propaganda, let alone ordinary people, even the Commonwealth, a country that raised its flag to confront the Great Rupert Country in anger under a huge disadvantage, also believes that a country needs the rule of power and cannot let ignorance go. The public communicates uncontrollably, using their short-sighted eyes to directly determine the future of the country.

They do need the opinions of the people and the guarantee of human rights to prevent them from going astray into totalitarianism, but those who can really significantly influence the country's management and decision-making must be wise and far-sighted bureaucrats, or experts with professional knowledge , rather than ordinary people.

From this point, we can see how successful the propaganda of the Great Rupert State is—making the enemy willing to believe in your theory and thinking that most of it is correct is enough to prove the success of its propaganda and the totalitarian/ How pervasive the concept of authority has become in Rupersian society.

In contrast, the picture promoted by this self-proclaimed "Cat League" organization is too "high-pitched", "on paper", and "unrealistic"-even the alliance believes that this is nothing more than their strategy Deception aims to describe a "utopia" that looks beautiful but is full of loopholes and unfeasible in reality. It is only used to lure those unsettled people who have never seen the world.

In this regard, Hong just smiled and fooled the past.

This is what she wanted. After all, the most important thing is to fight against the Great Rupert Kingdom. At least until the cat alliance builds a fleet sufficient to protect itself, she does not intend to add variables to the cooperation between the two countries for the time being. .

No matter how good the Commonwealth is compared to the Great Rupert Country, it will not change the fact that it is an authoritarian country after all. Just describing a part of the picture of the Cat League will make them think it is an unrealistic "Utopia". Seeing how much the Cat League system is a threat to their rule, it is hard for Hong to believe that their vested interest groups will not resist them, stumble in cooperation, or even tear up the common front agreement.
