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

This is the Kawei [-] shipyard, the largest shipyard in the entire Devo planetary system, and the only shipyard in Katus that can build large-scale space battleships-the other is located in the orbit of Kawei [-]. Although it has a large dock, but Due to the lack of smelting capacity in the asteroid belt, it is usually only used to build small warships of about [-] tons to [-] tons.

It can be said that this is the lifeblood of Katus's space shipbuilding industry. If the space skyhook built on it is counted, it can even be called the lifeblood of Katus.If this place is destroyed, Hong will lose nearly half of her shipbuilding capacity and two-thirds of her air transportation capacity in an instant.

But risks and benefits coexist. The advantage of putting the space hook and the shipyard together is that you can get cheap and nearly unlimited material supplies on the ground-it is also for this reason that Hong chose to upgrade the fleet here .

"Mobile battleship No. 29, the upgrade is complete."

"Orbital defense ship No. 12, the modification is complete."

Hong's idea is actually very simple, that is to steal technology - although she has successfully reversed the defeat in the previous hundreds of years, and the total tonnage of the fleet has even surpassed, but in terms of technology level, Hong is actually not as good as Ai star people.

Since I can't compare, then I'll learn it, isn't it good?

As far as the wreckage is concerned, she has too many of them. In the past few hundred years, the fleet destroyed by the Ai Xing people in the sky over Katus is close to one million tons. The wreckage brought by the asteroid belt is even worse. There are too many to count, and scientific research will fail for a while, but it will always be possible to take pictures of cats and tigers.

Hong estimates that when the fleet is completely refitted, the total combat power can be increased by about 10%, let alone.This is already a high number.At the same time, after absorbing part of the technology of Aistar, the project of weaponizing the free electron laser is also officially put on the agenda, and a new type of warship responsible for carrying the free electron laser is also put on the agenda.

Although the volume of its electron accelerator is extremely large, the corresponding power is also geometrically increased. It can be said that the fiber lasers currently used by Burst Red and Aixing people can even be said that they used to install guns on battleships.

In the era of free electron lasers, it is necessary to put a shell on a gun—according to Hong's estimation, this new type of warship needs at least tens of thousands of tons, or even [-] tons, and the long axis must reach at least half a kilometer. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate the electron accelerator, which is hundreds of meters long, that is, the gun barrel.

For this reason, she needs to upgrade all the old warships first, so as to ensure that Ai Xing will not disrupt the rhythm during the holding time of the big ship—because Ai Xing will no longer be able to jump around when the new ship is launched.

"Wait and see."

[Note 1: dv, the abbreviation of Delta-V, means velocity increment, and the unit is meter per second.It represents the value of the final velocity minus the initial velocity if a spacecraft accelerates all the way under an ideal state (regardless of factors such as gravity and aerodynamics).The acceleration, deceleration and orbit change of a spacecraft in space all need to consume dv, so the level of dv is directly related to the maneuverability of a spacecraft.At the end, there is a dv map of the solar system as a reference. 】

[For example, if a battleship starts from a low-Earth orbit at an orbital height of 250km, it needs about 5500m/s dv just to go to the low orbit of Mars, and at least 11000 round trips. 4000, no [-] dv can't fight, unless you don't want the battleship to come back, or you are confident that you can kill all the opponent's defense fleet and orbital facilities in a wave without supplies. In that case, you don't need to bring the return fuel , Wait for the victory to send the rear supplies - if you lose, you will have nothing, and you will not be able to leave.

The defender's warships of the same type only need to bring enough fuel to maneuver in the planetary system (refer to the Earth-Moon system here), which is about 4000, and the remaining 11000 can be used for orbit-changing operations. Strong fire support, which is why the defender always has the upper hand.

This is just an offensive warship for defense. If it is an orbital defense ship specialized in defense, you can use 11000dv to draw 6000 as a maneuver, and remove the remaining 5000 weight to replace it with thicker armor and stronger weapons. More missiles——While the firepower is more powerful, the maneuverability is also dominant.

It’s a bit long-winded, but these things are necessary to understand space warfare. This is only a small part. If you really don’t want to read this part, tell the author in the post, and I will move these things to the work. 】

Volume 5 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] You are not at this level, are you?

The progress of the weaponization of free electron lasers is quite smooth, quite fast.

From project approval to completion, in 42 days and only [-] hours, Hong successfully developed a weapon-grade laser that meets the expected requirements-the space warship has just finished laying the keel, and started to build the main module, and the ground laser is already being packed. It was sent to the sky, this speed far exceeded Hong's expectations, and even made her feel a little unreal.

In her prediction, after the battleship is almost built, it may need to stop for a period of time to wait for technical breakthroughs on the ground, so as to avoid the situation that the built ship cannot be equipped with guns.

Who would have thought that Hong's research and development would be so fast—she herself could not have imagined that the technical difficulties that had plagued Katus scholars for many years were now in front of her, almost like paper, broken with a single poke, and even symbolic resistance nothing.

"My family's red is amazing!"

Compared to her before, Xi'er is now more open-minded—what's not going to hold her back, and what's wrong with her family?Now she can yell "I'm a waste!" without shame, and then lie in Hong's arms and have a soft meal.

Really fragrant.

"That..." Facing Xi'er, who has been watching more and more recently, Hong felt a little uncomfortable, "Where's that poor Xi'er before? What about that Xi'er who was afraid of being regarded as a hindrance?

"What is this cat that is willing to be a waste now?"

The white-haired catwoman arched in her arms, changed into a more comfortable position, and said lazily, "Because I like you."

Hearing this answer, Hong searched the database a bit, thinking she had the answer.

"I like to take care of my own living body. Is this the so-called fledgling plot?" Hong stared at Xier's cute trembling ears while stroking her soft long hair, "Hong doesn't mind, Hong thinks You can be regarded as a qualified mother."

"Cut, brainless."

When Xi'er heard this answer, her face collapsed immediately: "Who wants you to be my mother?"

"Is there something wrong with Hong?" She was puzzled, "So, what is Xier trying to express? Please also tell Hong so that I can revise the plan in the future."

"When you understand it, you will know it. You will understand everything you understand, and you won't understand it if you don't understand it."

Xi'er hammered her a few times in retaliation. Unfortunately, for the bionic body of the alloy skeleton, this strength is not meaningful compared to the level of the cub's playfulness in the records.

Xi'er punched a few times and found that there was no feedback at all. She turned around and looked at Hong's hand that was concentrating on Mao Mao, closed her eyes, and muttered softly, "Hanging on me all day, you old scumbag."

"Excuse me, what does the scum girl mean?" Although the voice was very low, Hong's sensitive sound sensor still caught her whispering, "And you were not hung up, so what is Katus's code word? "

"It's nothing, just put me on the bed, I don't want to walk anymore."

Organic life is so complicated and difficult to understand.

Looking at Xier who was sulking for some reason, Hong was a little helpless—as she and Xier became more and more familiar, similar things had happened several times, either she said strange words that the machine could not understand, or she suddenly uttered strange words. Laughter, or sticking to Hong and not wanting to get off.

However, Hong has already been mentally prepared for this—the rebellious period, always wanting to refute what her parents say, or do something unique, although now Xier still looks like a small cub , Cute, but this kind of thing will happen anyway, she knows it very well.

Although it is stated in the data that this phenomenon usually occurs after the age of 100, it is also mentioned in the document on low temperature dormancy that long-term dormancy may cause them to change their temperament, and they will be more sensitive and vulnerable to emotions—maybe Is this affecting her?

To be honest, even though the recent Seele is a bit weird, compared to the description in the database, the "ancient" Catus cub is so difficult to deal with, it is still too much to worry about.

While thinking, Hong hugged Xi'er to the bed.

"Don't go, come up and accompany me."

Seeing Hong who was about to turn around and leave, Xier narrowed her eyes immediately.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Can't you accompany me to sleep?"

"But, Hong is preparing to maintain this body..."

"tomorrow."

"I..."

"I beg you."

Unable to stand Xi'er's request, Hong had to change the plan.

Xi'er lay contentedly in Hong's arms, secretly delighted that she had succeeded in bringing the distance a little closer - if there was one, there would be two, and then she could confidently let Hong sleep with her at night.

Even though she knew that Hong was a mechanical intelligence, she had no idea about it at all, and even this body was only a small part of her huge consciousness, but at least at this moment, Xier felt that she owned her.

Not because of her identity as a Catus, but because of her own uniqueness.

"Good night......"

--------split line--------

"It is detected that the Aixing fleet has departed from the port. The number is 220, and the estimated gross tonnage is about 200 million tons. The arrival time is three and a half months."

Hong looked at the huge heat signal erupting above Ai Xing, which could be received by the entire planetary system, but she didn't panic at all.

"It's really been tricked... If I am still the weak artificial intelligence before, this wave will seriously hurt my vitality, and it is even possible to be directly killed by a wave."

Although the opponent's fleet is twice as large as before, Hong is not panicking at all, and even wants to laugh.

Because, the current red is not what it used to be - the fleet that has been fully refitted will no longer be like before, and can only rely on numbers to make up for the lack of single-ship combat power.The level of mobile battleships is basically on par with the main battleships of Ai Xing, and the orbital defense ships with more powerful firepower can even fight 4 against 5.

But these are not the key points. What's more important is that Hong's big construction plan will be completed in 3 months.

Six large free electron laser ships, with a total tonnage of up to 50 tons, equipped with free electron laser axis cannons that can effectively strike targets at a distance of [-] kilometers—while the Ai Xings, as their opponents, generally have an effective range of just over [-] kilometers Needless to say, there is a world of difference in power.

If a year ago, when she hadn't awakened, Hong would have come to attack her, she might have been seriously injured, and she might even have been planted here, but now, all she can say is, that's it?

When even Xi'er heard the news, she was only worried for a while—after knowing the powerful performance of the new laser ship they built, no one would think that they would lose this war.

Of course, Hong despises the enemy strategically, but pays attention to the enemy tactically, gathers the fleet, deploys heavy nuclear missiles, adjusts the orbit of the space station so that no one falls, and turns the parent star into an airtight fortress.

People who don’t know at first glance think that the planet behind it is called Moscow.

"Alien scum."

"Die."

Volume 6 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] Enemy Fleet Spotted!

(Recommended track: Hostile Fleet Detected)

The time of three and a half months is neither fleeting nor long.

During this period, Hong was still teaching and educating people as usual, and Xier was still persevering in seeking opportunities to post. The scene was peaceful, and there was no feeling that a big war was coming.The Kaweiyi Shipyard did not go wrong, and completed all the construction tasks of the "Cat Cat Single Pusher" class laser ship on time.

By the way, the name of this ship was inspired by an ancient book that Hong found. It is said that it was used in ancient times to express "wholehearted loyalty" - it seems, maybe, it means this.

Although Seeer's reaction was fierce after hearing the name, but since her objection was only lip service and she didn't offer any constructive suggestions, Hong finally decided on the name.

"The power of pushing people alone is infinite!"

While Hong was chanting the dross words that he didn't know where to find out, he was intensively commanding the fleet to make the final preparations before the battle. The entire fleet was centered on six cats and cats of the single pusher class, supplemented by 89 peninsula upgrades, 150 The total tonnage of seven Xiaoyue refitted ships and dozens of cheap missile ships that were urgently refitted reached 240 million tons.

Looking around, it looks like a sea of ​​metal, shining brightly under the sunlight.

This is the most powerful fleet in the history of Catus, and it also represents the pinnacle of a planet's military aggression - no organic civilization can maintain such a huge space fleet with the same level of technology and territory.

Today, the war between artificial intelligence and machine intelligence is doomed to end.

This is the final battle.

"Observed hostile fleet, distance, 13000 kilometers."

"The heat signal was observed, the engine of the enemy fleet was ignited, and it was confirmed that it was decelerating into orbit, and the orbit is being calculated—combat in the same flight, with a relative speed of 2.5 kilometers per second."

An extremely standard same-track and same-air battle, Hong Xin thought.

"Warning! Missiles launched by the enemy fleet were detected, number 37, number 85, number 169... number 1124; relative distance, 12600 kilometers; current relative speed, 2.7 kilometers per second; expected intersection time, 44 minute."

"Observed orbital change activity, under analysis - confirmed as a heavy interstellar missile, is changing orbit to, Katus high orbit."

The familiar opening barrage can be called a textbook-level waste of firepower. It seems that the artificial mentally retarded person is still doing the trick.

Hong was still a little bit worried at first, whether the other party was also awakened, and then made the move to hide the fleet and beat her by surprise-now it seems that she thought too much.

No wonder she thought so. Before the fleet started to exchange fire and all the anti-aircraft firepower was intact, launching a mere thousand missiles to attack a fleet of more than 200 warships first, there was no word to describe it except artificial mental retardation. The level of stupidity of this behavior.

Of course, if the other party is stupid, she can't be stupid. If the missiles do slip through, even if only one or two missiles pass by, then she will lose all face.

"Distance, 11000 kilometers, has entered the anti-missile range of the Maomao single-push human-level main gun, anti-missile mode, fire!"

With an order, the surging energy of the fusion reactor was injected into the center of the ship, and the electron accelerator, which was more than 500 meters long, started to work. Tiny electron bunches gather together, their radiation becomes coherent, and their kinetic energy is continuously converted into the energy of the light field.

With each conversion, the amplitude of the light field will increase by one point compared to the previous one, and it will start to become larger and stronger until the light intensity reaches saturation—finally, a beam of light crosses tens of thousands of kilometers of dark space, Irradiated on the lead missile.

Six groups of flames suddenly appeared in the dark starry sky, like fireworks in a festival, short but exciting.

"emission!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

The advantages of the free electron laser are fully reflected at this moment. The extremely high average power and efficiency allow it to output at a distance that was unimaginable before. The working principle is different from the traditional laser, and it can shoot at high speed, without Worry about the service life - this is an epoch-making weapon.

The emergence of this weapon is also thanks to the hard work and dedication of the captain of the Aixing transportation team - he worked tirelessly to send the technology to Hong's mouth, even before he had time to master it. What a great dedication.

She was so moved that she was about to cry.

"Enemy fleet, relative distance, 9000 kilometers, enter the range of the cat-mao single pusher main gun against the ship, change the target!"

Ignoring these heads-offering things, Red ordered all the cats and cats to start attitude corrections so that the huge shaft cannons could be aimed at the target. As for the remaining missiles, they should be handed over to other small warships with shorter ranges. enough.

"Ready, target, enemy ship No. 1, anti-ship mode."

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Fire!"

The six laser beams hit this lucky guy almost at the same time—as the first Starship warship to experience the large-scale free electron laser cannon, Hong specially prepared a salvo for it, a gorgeous salvo, which was regarded as a big blow to the Starship transport. Captain's tribute.

The high-energy pulsed laser starts from the muzzle, spans a long distance, passes through the dark cosmic space, and shines on the silver-white armor of the battleship. The sharply rising temperature and pressure instantly ionize the original solid shell into hot plasma. After the plasma absorbs the laser, it will generate a detonation wave that is enough to tear the armor. The high pressure behind the detonation wave front acts on the solid surface and arouses a compressive stress wave, which is superimposed layer by layer and intensifies.

And all these macro performances are a violent explosion.

Gorgeous, yet elegant.

"boom!"

The armor specially developed to defend against lasers was penetrated like paper paste. The shell that originally protected the battleship was vaporized by high temperature into deadly metal vapor, which exploded, torn, and burned. There were six huge potholes.
