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

People living in this world cannot be so cold and rational after all—what she can do is to try her best to let them not lose the "luxury goods" of sensibility and humanity, but also give them the greatest degree of security .

Even if the price is yourself.

Fortunately, although the situation this time is severe, it is far from that extreme—not to mention that Red's lure the enemy into the depths these days has greatly reduced Lupers' vigilance, making their combat effectiveness even more difficult. It has dropped a lot, and from the current observation, this Lupers has not bombed the planet yet, and has not used any nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.

It doesn't matter if it's just because you don't want to waste resources, or for the sake of long-term planning and reducing the management pressure after the occupation. At least, this proves that the opponent is not like a clean freak who would rather waste resources and reduce his own combat power. A lunatic who engages in extermination bombing.

Hong is naturally happy about this. After all, if it is not a last resort, for example, if her own population is directly threatened or defeated, she will not recklessly use her subspace body to challenge the opponent.

In case the opponent has some hole cards to injure her or even kill her, even if they have a record, to ensure that even if they lose the red, the cat alliance alone can maintain the normal operation of the cat alliance in the short term, and in the long run, they can also choose to switch If a regime follows the path of normal civilization, it will not collapse as soon as the red is gone.

Although the current system of the Cat League is an "ideal regime" that would be difficult to maintain for a long time without Red, over the years, the Cat League's technology, productivity, and especially the most important moral quality have made sufficient progress—— With the foundation of the high moral quality of the whole people, even if they leave the red, at least they can switch to some kind of political system such as democratic socialism as a guarantee.

And it is conceivable that the actual situation will probably go in a more progressive direction. After all, the internal resistance of the Cat League has long been resolved by Red, and it is still the kind that has not left any scum. The most difficult part of the struggle is directly passed with full marks. Born directly near the finish line at the beginning, they only need to walk a few steps forward to be done.

But the problem is that without the strong AI Hong sitting in charge, civilization itself is fine, but they have lost hope of making a comeback, and they are just lingering.

Therefore, she must ensure that Catus has a strong enough ground defense to resist the opponent's possible orbital bombing and army landing for a long time without losing space.

Territory, factories, equipment, etc. are not important. For Hong, as long as people are kept, all of these can be rebuilt.

People are different from things. Things can be remade when they are gone. As long as civilization can continue, no matter how badly they are beaten, there is a chance to make a comeback. But once a person dies, he is really dead.

For civilization, the newly born people are also human beings, as long as there are people, but for Hong, the newly born people are no longer the people they used to be.

She cannot accept this.

Therefore, she must do her best.

"Red, Honghong." When Zhenghong was immersed in this huge sense of mission, Xi'er at the side poked her face, "Their boat is so broken, did it just dig out from the garbage dump?"

"what?"

Hong's serious expression suddenly collapsed - after Zai Zai's words, the original atmosphere disappeared without a trace.

In fact, Zai Zai and other members of the cat alliance never worried about their safety at all - not only did they trust Hong very much, they knew that it would be fully guaranteed to do so with Hong's temperament, and more importantly, Anyone who knows the ground defense forces of Katus will not feel that the enemy has any possibility of large-scale bombing or even army landing here.

Want to ship marines to take the planet?

Please think again in a few hundred years.

If it wasn't for Hong's sake of being on the safe side, fearing that something might go wrong, maybe they wouldn't bother to go into the air-raid shelter-it's so fun to watch the fireworks outside.

"It can't be said that it was just dug out from the garbage dump." After the tragic atmosphere that he tried to create was broken by a sentence, Hong rubbed Xi'er's ears in a dumbfounded way, "Otherwise, we wouldn't even have just dug out from the garbage dump." Even the boats dug out from here can’t be beat, isn’t it more rubbish than rubbish.”

"It's like oh..."

Xier pouted, feeling that what Hong said seemed to make sense.

"So are they really so confident and bold to drive here?" Sure enough, she still couldn't ignore the question, "They really never thought about how a civilization would give up its capital and retreat without a fight? ?

"If you are popular, at the very least, you have to take down the capital and several key industrial star fields first, and then consider this kind of thing after confirming that it is safe?

"Indeed." Hong nodded, "It's impossible for us to take such a risk, but I understand why they did it—in fact, from the very beginning, I was sure they would do it."

"why?"

"it is more than words."

Seeing Hong with an unfathomable look, Xier rolled her eyes slightly, moved her body over, put her left hand lightly on Hong's tail, and stroked it very gently a few times.

"Why don't you think about it again?"

Feeling the touch on the tail, Hong shuddered and quickly surrendered.

"I say I say."

After trying to get the tail out of Xier's hand to no avail, Hong had no choice but to quickly explain.

"According to my information collection about the other party's cake, combined with the results of the social model, the other party will never behave as safely as we do." Hong placed the tablet flat on Xi'er's lap to attract her attention, "Since the unification war on its home planet Ruperstein, this great Rupert country has actually not encountered any major setbacks in the war.

"Although their system is very unreasonable, many things can be said to be done by their leaders with their control. It has no other purpose except to show power, and sometimes it even has side effects. It is full of happiness that is hard to buy. smell.

"However, relying on this low-tech industry relying on a large base and the ability to forcibly pile up productivity to an extremely high level, they have always been invincible in foreign wars. They may win or lose each other tactically, but they always win on a large scale. is a winner."

"So, they are actually very arrogant?"

While playing with the red fluffy tail, Xi'er extracted the meaning of the red words.

"That's right, but it's more than that." Hong first blocked the base of her tail with her hand to prevent Zai Zai from advancing, and then added, "Because of their supreme status as leaders and their consistent and accurate judgment in foreign wars, this It made them trust the leader's judgment very much, so when their leader sent a telegram saying that they would move forward as soon as possible, I knew that the matter had been decided."

"It looks a bit like Hong."

Xier withdrew her hand contentedly, and said, "But the difference is, Hong, you have always been advocating that we be able to think independently, and encouraging those officers and scholars to have the courage to put forward different opinions. It is possible to reduce the disadvantages brought about by one person's dictatorship."

"But the leader of Lupers is different." Hong raised an index finger, "Although I haven't been able to find any detailed information about this leader, not even what he looks like or whether he is really a 'person' Sure, but I'm sure, for the ruling class of this big Rupert country, they don't like the people below to refute their ideas.

"If it weren't for their ability to do it, I'm afraid they would like to engage in extreme one-person dictatorship and completely deprive the front-line generals of all independent decision-making power-under such a system, once the leader gives an order, it is even just a 'suggestion', the following It is almost impossible for people to insist on their own judgment.

"There is a precedent for this—according to the information I have collected, more than 100 years ago, in the Lupers First Fleet, that is, their most advanced, strongest, and highest-ranking fleet, there was a famous Very tall admiral.

"In a very critical battle, although the leader in the rear had already issued a 'suggestion', because he was on the front line, he had a clearer judgment on the situation, and his status was really high, and this is what happened after all. It is just a suggestion, not a command, not mandatory.

"Therefore, he did not choose to follow this 'suggestion', but directed the battle according to his own decision, and the results showed that his decision was correct. If he followed the leader's suggestion, the First Fleet would definitely lose It is serious, and may even damage more than half of the warships at one time."

Hong spread his hands: "You know, this is not disobedience to military orders. After all, the leader's 'suggestion' is just a suggestion. Since it was not issued as an order at the beginning, the subtext is to listen to yourself or not, right?"

"correct."

Seele nodded

"Then, from an overall point of view, although the commander did not follow the leader's advice, his judgment avoided the trap instead. He turned a battle that would have been lost if he listened to the leader's advice into victory. That should be a great achievement. item?"

"Yes."

"However, just when he thought he would receive the reward after his triumphant return, he was controlled by the guards directly under the leader, and there has been no news since then."

When talking about this matter, the corner of Hong's mouth was full of disdain: "His crime is nothing but thought crime.

"It's just that they didn't listen to the 'suggestion' that the leader said casually, and let a commander who made great achievements disappear, and his life and death are unknown-you said, do they still dare not listen to this 'suggestion'?

"I dare say that if the fleet hadn't been defeated in an asymmetrical battle, the fleet would also be at risk of being held accountable, and they would choose to set off immediately after receiving the 'suggestion' instead of going up again Under the pressure, I chose to repair it again, and gave up the stable one completely after breaking through Kawei II."

"It's really a terribly deformed civilization."

Xier commented like this.

"So why didn't they choose to go against it?" She still felt a little puzzled, "The leader is just a person, and at most a few people who are in the same boat as him are counted. Compared with the power of the vast majority, this is meager." Isn’t the power of a mantis like a cart?”

"The reason is very simple, because you presuppose the premise that the majority of other people will unite and resist together." Hong spread his hands and said helplessly, "However, apart from those acts of power that are only for the purpose of demonstrating power, Lupus' other Almost every move revolves around dividing the majority so that they cannot unite."

"If you want to go against it, you can't go against it, if you can go against it, you are busy criticizing each other, you are satisfied with the sense of nobility that steps on other people's heads, and you don't want to bet everything you already have for an illusory thing.

"And a resistance limited to a very small number of people is almost doomed to failure."

"Then they really have no way to break the cycle?" Seele asked a little unwillingly, "Is it true that they can only wait for a savior like you to come down and save them?"

"The answer is, of course... yes."

Hong smiled slightly.

"The existence of the Commonwealth is enough to prove that the surveillance system of the Great Rupert State is not foolproof—even though they have maintained this country for three thousand years, it is even better than any one we know. Countries live longer.

"But the way is always there.

"It's just that, to turn this muddy path into a sunny avenue leading to hope, a small opportunity is needed."

"What's the opportunity?"

Xier asked impatiently.

Hong didn't speak, but lightly tapped Bai Jiu's cheek with her index finger, her intention was very obvious.

"Well..."

After looking around and confirming that her cub was not nearby, Xi'er came over and gave a "chirp" click on her red cheek.

"Okay, can you tell me?"

Xi'er licked her pink lips a little, and then asked impatiently.

Red, who was ready to accept it, quickly switched the screen of the tablet computer to the star map, and tapped the huge fleet that had just departed from Kaywei and will arrive in Catus tomorrow morning, and said.

"The opportunity is here."

"Arrogance and arrogance have a price to pay."

--------

PS: With regard to adding more, this month is definitely going in the direction of returning. There are at most a few chapters left that can’t be finished, and it is impossible to delay any longer. It's really unreasonable to delay until July.

You know, when I think about what Mao Mao owes more, and when I think of the rewards and boxes from readers that have not seen any results so far, Mao Mao feels guilty.

Although the game is still playing while I feel guilty, but how should I put it, um, I am really guilty!

Damn it, I will never show it again, this month will impress you all!

Volume 262 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] Wolf Trap

After waiting anxiously all night, finally, at the moment when the stars slowly emerged from the distant horizon and the morning sun shined on the land of Maodu.

Lupers Fleet, here we come.

Because the acceleration distance is too short, the speed of this fleet has not been raised very high, and it can even be captured by the gravity of Katus without decelerating, directly entering a high eccentricity ellipse surrounding Katus track.

This is not a suitable speed. After all, only laser ships, which are good at long-distance firefights, would like the relative speed of the two sides to be low, so as to leave them more long-distance consumption—but even if the laser ship In a ship-to-ship war, only the stronger side with a longer range would want a lower speed, and the weaker side with a shorter range would also like to speed up to shorten the distance.

A very simple reason, the side with short hands always wants to speed up their own speed to shorten the time of being beaten unilaterally, not to mention space battles, any game player knows this clearly.

Therefore, it is obvious that for Lupers, the range gap is extremely serious, but the firepower within the range is obviously superior, and the acceleration and specific impulse of the shipboard engine also have certain advantages over the Cat League warships, even if it is the pursuit of speed The correct choice is to focus on Katus, first to pull out a high eccentricity orbit, and then at the apogee Start sprinting towards the target point.

In this way, even if you still want to save time, if you don’t stretch the elliptical orbit too far, the acceleration distance can be doubled at least, and the engine can work in a relatively high specific impulse mode instead of being forced to operate at a low specific impulse. Working in high-thrust mode not only increases the final breakthrough speed, but also saves a huge amount of working fluid, adding more chips for subsequent battles.

The cost is nothing more than a few days of extra time. For space warfare, the preparation time of a few days is almost instantaneous compared with the transfer time calculated in years. It is hard to imagine any offensive battle. Can't even wait a few days.

But Lupers didn't do that.

They simply set off from the orbit of Kavez and headed towards Catus at a relatively normal acceleration—however, they were not so crazy as to sail at the economic acceleration of hundreds of kilometers per second. To save face, the engine was overloaded, and the thrust was increased by 40 times at the cost of the specific impulse dropping to 5%, which is what Maomeng called "double power gear".

From this point of view, their engine performance is indeed stronger than that of Maomeng. After all, if Hong wants to double the power of the engine, its upper limit of specific impulse will be reduced to one-third of the original to obtain 6 times the thrust—— This does not mean that the engine overload thrust increase of Cat League is higher than that of Lupers, because this is just a lower limit value, which represents the lower limit of the specific impulse reduction that must be paid to exceed twice the power.

Lupers can also reduce the specific impulse to one-third, and the thrust obtained by it will become about 7 times that of the original, which is equivalent to more than twice the standard power, but the specific impulse is only reduced to 40%. Under the circumstances, its thrust is only more than 4 times, which is still a little short of 2 times the power, and it is impossible to double the power like Lupers without causing damage to the engine. In this way, it is obvious that The performance of both is excellent.

The specific impulse and acceleration under standard power are already good. At the same time, the power increase and conditions when the engine is overloaded are also better than those of the single-push human class. It has to be said that only at this time can the Grand Rupert truly show It shows what the evaluation of "relatively high technological level" should look like.

What an "advanced" technological civilization should be able to do is to rely on advanced technology, efficient management, and fully mobilize people's wisdom to continuously develop more and more advanced technologies, rather than relying on population to make miracles, relying on Low-tech, low-efficiency factories will hard-pile productivity.

Letting such a civilization prevail is a disaster for all intelligent beings.

Red is here to dispel their myths.

"The vanguard of the enemy fleet is about to enter the glorious-class fleet's offensive range. The distance is 4.2 kilometers, and the position is xxx. The current average relative speed of the two fleets is 5.35km/s. It is expected to enter the glorious-class 4-kilometer attacking range in 40 minutes and 4 seconds. .”

In the strategic command center that she has transferred from Katus to the Talalon orbit in advance, many cat alliance officers and military scientists are working intensely.

Since the total tonnage of the cat alliance's fleet has risen to 12 billion tons, which is several times higher than before, the number of people in the war finger center has also increased several times, and a large number of supercomputing arrays have been added to help them rise. Provide a strong guarantee for the computing power demand.

Their task is only one.

Make sure they are able to make the most accurate judgments possible with the highest possible efficiency.

"What's the current warp interruption status?"

"Reporting sir, the warp-disrupting force field of No. 2 Glory-class ship is working normally, and the steady-state disruption radius is 3.5 kilometers. It is confirmed that there is no unit that has tried to activate the warp-speed engine within the range." An officer reported.

"Okay, continue to monitor and report any situation at any time."

After being confirmed, Stuart nodded, and then turned to discuss the matter with the staff - after nearly 100 years of military career, Stuart is no longer the former one who can only learn from the big guys I'm a rookie.

Under the dual guidance of Hong and the Maomeng officer, she not only has extremely rich theoretical knowledge, which fully meets the needs of a main fleet commander, but also has rich practical experience. All the way from the most basic, a small staff officer who has just graduated from a military science major, he gradually rose up.

Although she is the red cub, which seems to be synonymous with relationships, but in fact, no one will feel any injustice for her promotion.

Her talent, theory, practical operation, etc. have reached the level of an excellent main fleet commander, that is, if she is replaced by any ordinary cat alliance officer, with such a level, she will be promoted to fleet commander It's just a matter of time.

It's not the seniority of the time, the Cat League doesn't pay attention to this, it just has to wait for the new fleet to be formed - after all, the original fleet commanders also have a very strong level, so unless someone is promoted to a higher position Or the level of the rookies is really outstanding, otherwise Hong would have no reason to replace them.

Of course, if you want to insist that Stewart's promotion path is not special, it is definitely unrealistic.

Although whether it was Hong, the cat alliance officer, or Stuart himself, they all knew that it was impossible for them to do any behind-the-scenes operations. This was not helping, but insulting.

However, the reason why Stuart is able to reach such a superb level of theory and practice must be due to the red factor. As a cub, she must be able to accept Hong's teachings more easily than ordinary people. It was because she was a cub that she was able to enter the military headquarters to study as an ordinary staff officer, and to attend meetings where senior officers had tactical discussions.

It's just that no one will care about this special feature.

Anyway, no matter how she learned it, the result now is that she has learned all these things very well without affecting other people, and all levels can fully satisfy the position of commanding a main fleet.
