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

"For the extermination unit, although satellite 11 is not like the dispensable satellites in the outer layer, it does not even have a symbolic resistance, but it is not a very important satellite, and it is not worth giving up Cass The defense network near Dele, which is like a copper wall and an iron wall, takes the initiative to fight."

Hong explained.

"Actually, in my deduction, if we use the 14th and 12th satellites as a springboard to gradually erode the middle orbit, the extermination unit has a great possibility to directly abandon the defense of the 11th satellite and return to the 8th satellite for defense. .”

别看11号卫星在顺序上十分靠近身为7号的卡斯德勒，但要论实际距离，750万千米半径的11号要比160万千米半径的卡斯德勒高出太多了——这已经是整整5个核心星域半径了！

"If this plan can be implemented smoothly, we, who have occupied satellite 11, will only have 230 million kilometers of orbital radius difference from the wormhole, which is enough for us to communicate effectively with the humans over there."

Finally, Hong used a simple diagram to show the whole process of the plan.

“三个月后同族体最后一批舰队完工，总共6000万吨——出发，消耗11km/s的DV，花费一年时间抵达14号卫星轨道——消耗1.5km/s的DV进入12号卫星轨道——消耗0.8km/s的DV泊入11号卫星。”

"Considering the possible resistance, the final DV consumption should be around 13.3 to 14.5km/s, and the DV of around 15 to 20km/s can be reserved for long-term operations."

Hong tapped the table twice to draw their attention to herself.

"That's the whole plan. Do you have any questions?"

"No."

The military officers from various countries replied in unison.

As officers of the Space Force, they still have a good understanding of this plan - unlike those administrative officials who have a little understanding of orbital mechanics, as people who deal directly with space, it is quite easy to understand.

After all, the whole process of this plan does not involve any complicated tactics. If it is extremely simplified, it can be simply understood as "advance from the outside to the inside, and finally stop at the boundary line of satellite 11".

"Very good, then everyone can start arranging the departure in three months." Hong nodded, "Attention, if you don't understand anything or have any objections, you can come to me at any time."

"But! It must be mentioned before departure."

she emphasized.

"You know, after I go to the core of extinction, I won't be able to help you in time - I must, I must, I must tell you in advance!"

"understand!"

"Very well, let's move on to the next topic..."

......

In the central city specially designed for the Jeffreys, on the edge of a clear artificial lake, one person and one machine sat on a bench in the park, looking at the rippling water in the lake, talking softly.

A little breeze blew across his cheeks, bringing the faint scent of flowers from the bushes beside him—it has to be said that whenever he felt these "natural" breaths, Stuart would feel very happy.

After all, creatures prefer to live in a natural environment than cold food and water recycling equipment.

"Have you really decided?"

Hong gently stroked her hair and asked.

"Ah."

She shook her ears, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Because, all this will soon leave her.

"If you change your mind, you must tell me." Hong swallowed back the words of persuasion, "No matter when, no matter where, as long as you want to come back, I will definitely bring you back."

"Ann, it's only been ten years."

Compared to Hong's worry, Zai Zi seemed very optimistic - after all, this was the path she chose voluntarily, so how could she complain about others.

"No matter what, you have to send someone over to look at it." Seeing this, she also licked two red and supple tails backhand, and said with a smile, "Among us, the one who is suitable is Baihe." I'm dead, if you don't let me go, can you still let Bai go?"

"why not......"

"Don't look at how independent and independent she is in social life, but we all understand that she is the one among us who relies on you the most."

Stuart replied seemingly naturally.

"When I go on an expedition, it's just a little bit of reluctance. It won't affect my mood particularly—anyway, you will withdraw me after ten years. I can still afford to wait ten years."

"But Bai is different."

She looked up at the starry sky, and a breath of vicissitudes suddenly enveloped the two of them...one person, one machine.

For a moment, Hong was shocked by this feeling—why does this sentence sound like "there is a story" slowly?

Shouldn't he use himself as an excuse to reject Stuart's confession?

For a while, Hong could only think of this reason—although according to the analysis, the relationship between Stuart and Bai has always been limited to friends and has no tendency to develop deeper, but this is still the most likely option in her opinion.

After all, after so many years of getting along, Hong has long been used to the character of "not following the routine" of the cubs-feelings are really inexplicable.

"Let her leave you for ten years, and she will collapse."

Stewart looked at the simulated Milky Way on the sky, raised a standard Erlang leg, and leaned back.

"But because of Bai's feelings for you, if you ask her if she wants to go, she will definitely not refuse you-I know what you want to say, it's useless."

she commented.

"Baisheng is afraid that refusing you will lower her status in your heart - no matter what you say, it will be useless, she is such a person who is afraid of losing."

"In comparison, I don't have so many worries." Seeing Hong's thoughtful face, she touched Hong's ears again -- different from most of the introverted cubs, her favorite The entertainment project is just popular, "It's only ten years, it's not a big deal."

"Besides, there was only a delay of more than ten minutes in the middle, and it wasn't a complete disconnection. Wouldn't it be better to have more confidence in our psychological endurance?"

She thought about it and added.

"Forget it."

"Ok."

Red sighed.

"Then what do you want to do during this time, just tell me, I will..." Seeing the joy flashing in Stuart's eyes, Hong modified her words, "I will try my best to be satisfied. "

"cut."

Seeing that the plan failed, she swiped her tail with a little dissatisfaction.

"It's scum."

Volume 86 Extinction War: Chapter [-] Red, Fighting for Peace Today

Three months later, the fleet set off as scheduled.

In order to ensure the living conditions of the cub, Hong finally canceled the construction of an Oluga-class electromagnetic gun support ship, and assembled the vacated capacity into a "habitation ship" with an artificial gravity ring.

Limited by the structural constraints of the spaceship, the radius of the centrifugal wheel of the habitation ship had to be reduced from the standard 1100 meters of the space station to 280 meters. Although this saved a lot of materials, it also brought about a rather difficult problem.

That's the Coriolis force.

Unlike a planet that rotates once a day, on a centrifugal wheel that rotates several times per minute, the influence of Coriolis force is much more serious than the "trade wind" and "tropical cyclone" on the planet, the most important It is this effect that can only be alleviated through some methods, but cannot be eradicated.

At least, this is a fundamentally unsolvable problem without "inertia elimination" and "artificial gravity" technologies that are close to metaphysics.

Although theoretically speaking, such an ultra-large centrifugal wheel with a length of hundreds of meters or even kilometers is not required at all to achieve 1 G-the centrifuge used to extract uranium, the raw material for nuclear fission, can produce 10,000+ G's centrifugal force, its efficiency almost crushes all the centrifugal wheels mentioned above.

In fact, a domestic front-loading washing machine is enough to create a suitable "gravity"-but obviously, Hong didn't choose to build a large front-loading washing machine in space. The reason is the Coriolis force.

Limited by the senses of creatures, when the rotation speed is higher than six revolutions per minute, ordinary Jeffreys are already unbearable. Their sense of balance will be abnormal, the circulatory system will be out of balance, and the abnormal blood supply will cause the brain to feel dizzy .

Only soldiers with extremely strong bodies and rigorous training can rely on the balance of their tails to work at this speed.

Still, living in this environment for long periods of time can cause irreversible physical damage. As for comfort?

How can there be comfort in a big drum that turns every ten seconds?

Theoretically, for the space force whose quality is its life, a speed of 4 revolutions per minute should be enough, but according to Hong's understanding, even the empire that doesn't care about the experience of the crew the most, and can be called a sweatshop, the centrifugal force used The radius of the shaft is also a full 100 meters, which can maintain a gravity of 3 G at a speed of 0.8 revolutions per minute.

For those strong officers of the Space Force, they can live a relatively normal life after a period of adaptation and training. Although this will cause some discomfort, it is comparable to the 2 meters required for two laps and one kilometer for one lap. Compared with the radius, it can be regarded as the optimal solution considering the capacity.

No, this "slight discomfort" is naturally unacceptable to Hong.

In order to eliminate this discomfort, Hong chose to increase the radius to 280 meters, and adjusted the gravity to 0.9 G, which is 0.75 Catus surface gravity, and managed to control the speed below two laps per minute.

Although compared with the 11-meter-class centrifugal wheel carried by the alliance on a cargo ship and assembled on-site on the orbit of the No. It's worth it if your cub can feel comfortable.

"Yeah, I spilled it again."

Hong turned around, looked at Stuart who was enthusiastically experimenting with "how to pour water at an angle", and smiled slightly.

Although, as the oldest of the cubs, she will officially get rid of her status as a minor and become a legally reliable adult in a few years, but in Red Eyes, they will always be the one who is full of curiosity about everything. cute cubs.

This is the difference between domesticated and wild - when the wild grows up, it is no longer a cub, but an old woman.

"You should lean a little further to the right, and the angle of the water bottle should be lower." Hong took two steps forward, held her slightly cold hand, and adjusted it a few centimeters, "Like this."

"Oh, I see!"

Seeing the water twisting like waves in the air, and finally falling into the glass with precision, Stuart looked very happy.

"This is the Coriolis force." Hong explained, "So, when throwing things, you must calculate the ballistic accurately."

"Uh-huh."

She complied, turned her head and continued to play with great interest.

After all, this is a magical experience that is difficult to experience on a planet—for a target with such a large planet and such a slow speed, the Coriolis force is more reflected in some obscure things, far less than the current " Pour water" is so intuitive.

"By the way, Hong, about how far away will your body start to show obvious unresponsiveness?"

After playing for a while, Stuart asked casually.

"Within three light seconds, I can act as if there is no delay."

"Hmm...but isn't it already ten light seconds?" She put the water glass aside, tapped the electronic board twice, and asked in confusion, "The round-trip communication delay has already been 20 seconds. "

"Then do you think I'm still instant now?"

"I didn't feel abnormal at all."

"It seems that the program is working fine, even you can't tell."

Hong crossed his waist, looking very proud - but after 21 seconds, this proud look disappeared.

"Wuuuuuu, so my favorite cub can't tell the difference between the simulation program and me." Hong pretended to cry twice, "I'm so sad."

"Now it looks delayed."

Stuart replied calmly.

It has to be said that after these years of improvement, regardless of how much the combat level has improved, at least when posting with the cubs, her simulation program can already work quite realistically.

As for whether it is "I" or not, Hong and the cubs don't really care much about it.

"I remember some Alliance scholars discussed that when you let your weak artificial intelligence replica interact with us, in your own opinion, will there be a feeling of being a tauren?"

"of course not!"

Hong immediately retorted—obviously, such a quick response indicated that this was a response from the simulation program based on her behavior patterns.

However, this is indeed Hong's own idea.

"Do you feel that touching your lover with your hands is a kind of betrayal of the brain?"

she asked back.

"But the hands are our own."

"The copy of the weak artificial intelligence that behaves almost the same as my body, except for the ability to solve problems independently, is also myself."

As Hong explained, she messed up Stuart's blond hair.

Obviously, this dungeon also perfectly inherited Hong's hobby.

"Unlike your vague perception of 'self', as an omnic living inside a computer, my perception of myself inside and out is quite obvious."

"Strictly speaking, even if you sit next to a supercomputer that is directly connected to my body and reduce the delay to almost zero, my body can contact you through 'external' contact."

"In fact, for you, all the colorful things in the external world are not experienced by the brain through the nervous system and body components."

Seeing that her expression became more and more confused, Hong's copy explained according to the predetermined procedure.

Yes, in order to simulate the reality to the best, Hong has set up corresponding solutions for almost most of the questions she can think of - this is why Hong believes that "she" is a part of herself, not an independent individual One of the important reasons.

This weak artificial intelligence can only and can only execute her preset orders.

"This kind of thing is nothing more than mediocrity."

she concluded.

Hong believes that if this sentence is heard by those philosophers who are good at "mediocrity", they will definitely publish a book to refute her point of view from various angles—this is true, for organic beings, philosophy is indeed important. Something very important.
