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

In fact, due to her height, Hong generally touches Xier's head a little more—according to her design, the bionic body she uses is only 1.5 meters tall, which is generally close to 1.5 meters with Jeffrey's cubs. The height of meters is almost the same.

Like Stewart, he even overtook her by one centimeter, which caused Hong to feel a little powerless every time he smoothed his hair, and he was easily picked up by her backhand and sucked twice, without any feeling of killing his head.

Thieves.

Only a real cub like Xier who is 1.2 meters and [-] meters can bring a little comfort to Hong.

"When can I see them?"

She raised her head, and raised this question that made Hong a little headache with an innocent expression.

"Don't worry, there are still more than half a month." Hong rubbed her cheeks helplessly, and added, "Adjusting the atmospheric circulation system is not a matter of one day. I want to avoid affecting them while adjusting it to be suitable for your survival. The ratio is at least ten days."

"oh oh."

Xier nodded cutely.

"Actually, I just want to see them, and I don't plan to stay for a long time. Wouldn't it be good to wear a filter mask for me?"

"That won't work." Hong immediately denied the idea, "The filter mask will also be damaged. Anyway, according to the expansion plan, the Central City also needs to adjust the atmosphere—otherwise, it will not be able to connect to the surface normally."

"Anyway, it is an adjustment to be made. It is better to do it in advance, and it can also avoid the problem that the mask cannot be completely filtered."

"oh oh."

Xi'er complied, anyway, for her, what Hong said was what she said, if she said there was a problem, then there was a problem.

After all, under Hong's meticulous care all year round, she is completely too lazy to think about many trivial matters-in a sense, this can be regarded as Hong's raising and crippling her.

Speaking of which, with such a cute and charming omnic who can take care of everything, who can be a waste?

"Hey, wait a minute."

But anyway, the biological instinct is here. After a few seconds, Xier finally realized what was wrong: "Why do you need to connect to the surface?"

"You can't live underground all the time." Hong spread out his hands, "With our current level, no matter how good the artificial sky is, it can't compare to the real sky."

"But, isn't Bai and the others unable to adapt to Katus' environment?"

At this moment, Xier's head was full of big question marks.

"Besides, hasn't the environment on the surface been destroyed by nuclear bombs?" She racked her brains to recall the surface information she had heard before, "Although the radiation has dissipated, after suffering such a blow, the ecological environment has really Is it working properly?"

"Look, when I told you before, you still said you didn't leave?"

Although it sounded like she was blaming, from Xier's perspective, there was only a doting smile on the red face in front of her.

Hong is always like this, no matter what she does, it seems like she will never get angry, which makes Xier a little uncomfortable.

For her, if Hong can express a little bit of dissatisfaction, she will be more comfortable on the contrary-Hong's "as long as you are happy, anything is fine", on the contrary, she is full of guilt.

"Um...uh...uh..."

"Okay, be more serious next time."

Knowing that she was exposed, Xi'er pondered for a moment, trying to defend herself, but before she could speak, Hong who knew what she wanted to say interrupted her defense by rubbing her face.

"Uh-huh."

Xier sighed and gave up what she originally wanted to say.

This is Hong's gentleness towards her...to them. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, it really made Xier take the initiative to change all of this, even if it was just a little bit, she couldn't do it.

She has been addicted to this feeling of being loved and cannot extricate herself.

"red......"

She whispered Hong's name softly.

Volume 91 Extinction War: Chapter [-] The Arrival of the Human Fleet

However, after a week passed, before Hong could arrange for the cubs to meet, the first battle had quietly begun in the distant extinct core galaxy.

In order to stabilize the alliance relationship between the two parties and ensure that the information exchange between them is accurate and efficient enough, in addition to the supplies originally planned to be dispatched, humans have also added a delegation mainly composed of diplomats, military officers and scholars of related disciplines.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of this delegation and to express their sincerity, the human side also added an additional escort formation composed of 36 warships on the basis of the original fleet.

Speaking of escort, in fact, judging from the quality of their capital ship standard of 15 tons, this is an armed force that is larger than the entire fleet of any country in the Jaffa Alliance.

Of course, Red's side naturally supports the arrival of this fleet with both hands. From the perspective of interests, the more human and material resources invested here, the more they will naturally be interested in this place, and the less likely it is to engage in What a moth - this is the impact of sunk costs.

However, the arrival of this fleet is not all benefits—in order to ensure the safe arrival of this fleet and the 900 million tons of working fluid supplies they escorted, as well as the thirty cargo ships carrying them, Stewart and the others naturally Also send your own fleet to meet them.

After all, with a total mass of 1550 million tons, all of them are main warships and large cargo ships with a body length of more than 600 meters. Whether it is an extinct unit or an extinct iron heart, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to them as usual one eye.

"The enemy has dispatched a total of 92 warships, including 54 extinct units and 38 iron-core extinct ships, with a total of about 1100 million tons. The distance between the two fleets is 2000 kilometers, and they are 13500 kilometers and 13000 kilometers from the exit of the wormhole. 1.5 kilometers per second and 1.35 kilometers per second, respectively."

As they got closer and closer to the exit of the wormhole, the entire fleet was shrouded in an atmosphere full of urgency.

The commanders of the Combat Intelligence Center nervously listened to the reports of their subordinates, assembled the data from the other allies in their minds, and transformed them into images that could be used for analysis and command. The plan to carry out the docking of the combat command chain has resulted in them now only receiving raw data, and then drawing out the situation there through the analysis of the shipboard computer.

In fact, they didn't need to access the alliance's data originally—rather than receiving the other party's data format that is completely different from that of human computers, they prefer to use the detectors and devices that they have deployed on the other side of the wormhole. telescope.

As a result, two million-ton equivalent nuclear bombs from the extermination unit came down, directly blowing up their detectors, telescopes, and space station.

"How about the track information of the Cat Alliance?"

"500 kilometers away from the exit, in the opposite direction, the orbit is slightly higher than the orbit of the wormhole, and the relative speed is 40m/s."

"Very well, continue to monitor."

He patted the other party's shoulder, and then quickly returned to his seat with the help of the handle on the bulkhead—according to the combat regulations, except for the damage control department and a few engineers who need to maintain maneuvers during battleship combat, all other crew members must Need to go back to your seat and secure yourself securely with the straps.

Although judging from the level of main propellers used by human battleships, they don't have to worry about any obvious overload when the battleship is maneuvering-after all, it is difficult for a ship to reach a maximum acceleration of 0.5G, and the acceleration is only 0.01 during normal sailing. It is impossible for G's warships to produce the "push back feeling" like cars and airplanes, let alone vibrations that interfere with personnel activities.

However, the reason why the combat regulations are stipulated in such a serious way is also very simple - if they can't achieve it themselves, it doesn't mean that the opponent can't help them achieve it.

Even the most sloppy space soldiers, in the face of countless cases of warships encountering high-energy lasers, direct hits from ultra-high-speed electromagnetic guns, and even detonated nuclear bombs at very close range, because they did not fix themselves and were stunned by sudden violent vibrations and even died. Keep a humble heart.

"Report, news from the Maomao Shantui group, their battleships have already engaged in a firefight with the 'Iron Heart Extinction' fleet that is in a higher orbit."

Not long after the fixing belt was tied, the tactical information coordinator in charge of handling foreign intelligence in the intelligence region reported the sudden news in the headset.

"So fast!" The captain was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What is the relative distance between them?"

"13300 kilometers, sir."

"This... Didn't the boss say that although their technology is basically the same as ours, their military strength is worse than ours?"

He immediately connected to the communication to the formation flagship of his squad.

"Then why can their 12-ton battleship have the same range as our 15-ton battleship?"

"I know what you mean. The superior is asking the other party urgently." A helpless voice sounded in the channel, "Scientists currently suspect that the other party's calculation method for 'effective range' is different from ours."

"clear."

Although he still had some doubts in his heart, seeing that he, as the lead ship of the fleet, was about to sail out of the wormhole in one minute, he could only suppress the doubts in his stomach, and turned off the communication for the time being.

There is one thing to say, the strength of the allies is stronger than expected, which is not a bad thing - after all, this is a war against the extermination of the regime, without considering "infighting", "rebellion" and other situations, the allies' The stronger the military power, the better news for human beings.

However, what was unexpected was that before he could calm down, the commander-in-chief of the fleet released an all broadcast on the channel, and noted that it was an urgent notice about "abnormal combat power of friendly warships".

It seems that the response from above was quite fast this time.

While thinking this way, he clicked on the message.

"Urgent notice: The "Cats and Cats Single-Push Consort" in the "Cats and Cats Alliance" has been engaged in the battle. According to the news, their battleships are not equipped with any personnel, but fully automated operations, through the remote control of the base Command to operate."

"..."

As soon as they saw this news, the captains of the ships immediately understood the reason why the physical capacity of the same family was 12 tons, which was the same as 15 tons—there was no need for a life support system, no crew cabin, and a fully automated battleship. It is capable.

However, is the entire fleet not equipped with a single person, and the design is fully automated from the inside to the outside, is it really feasible?

In this regard, not only these officers, but also the cakes in the rear expressed great doubts.

You know, although they say that crews are required for "safety considerations", in fact, the main reason is that their technology is not up to standard.

In other words, they didn't force the thirty or so people on the battleship to deal with the so-called "omninic rebellion". The more people understand, the more they want to use the broken technology they are currently using to create a strong artificial intelligence, that is simply wishful thinking.

If there is such a fully automated technology, who would waste thousands of tons of mass to install people?

"At the same time, according to the news just received, the strength comparison of the members of the Cat and Cat Alliance is quite different from what we predicted - in the entire Cat and Cat Alliance fleet, more than 85% of the warships belong to the same family, and the remaining three countries will share the remaining 15% equally.”

"Grass."

Looking at the 30-second countdown on the screen for the distance to leave the wormhole, he resisted the desire to complain, and pressed the message - no matter what, the battle must be fought first.

"TAO, you take over the next operation."

"understand!"

After handing over the command to the tactical operations officer of the ship in accordance with the regulations, he took advantage of the last few seconds before leaving the wormhole to tidy up his cabin suit for the last time, then rubbed his hands, took a few deep breaths, so as to put himself The nervous mood calmed down.

Although he has participated in many small-scale harvest and anti-harvest battles, and has also participated in several hundred-ship large-scale fleet battles, in the final analysis, as one of the youngest captains in the fleet, he still Unavoidably a little nervous.

What's more, this is the first time he has faced such a complex battlefield - strange galaxies, strange warships (both enemies and allies), and mutually incommunicable data links, all of which have brought additional variables to this battle .

However, the enemy's alliance composed of two omnics is different. With the characteristics of their omnics, they can make the two fleets of each other fight in almost perfect coordination, but due to some reasons, their own side has not been able to cooperate with the The cat and cat alliance completed the data link docking in time.

Although after discovering that the situation has changed, the rear is actively looking for a way to temporarily form a network with the cat and cat alliance, but anyone who understands the command system will have no hope for this—two people on different planets How could it be possible for the two command systems designed without any communication to complete the seamless connection in just a few hours?

Not only that, but most of the battleships in the cat and cat alliance are also the legendary "fully automated battleships". How to cooperate with these unmanned battleships is also a new topic that has never been experienced or trained before.

Although according to the information, the jump flagship of the extermination unit, which was suspected to be a product of high civilization, was not dispatched, but the above points alone already filled his heart with pressure.

"It has been observed that the external environment has returned to normal, and it is confirmed that this ship has left the G2-139d-a-L4 wormhole."

An operator in charge of the sighting system reported loudly, and almost at the same time, TAO, the operation officer in charge of all tactical operations of the ship, also loudly repeated—in order to ensure that other people did not miss important news, Extremely important nodes such as leaving the wormhole and changing the orbit need to be reported by the operator and the operation officer.

"Both fleets have been identified!"

With the cooperation of the sighting and targeting system, after about 20 seconds, the target recognition officer got all the target data of the fleets of both sides. Without the support of the data link, they could not directly obtain the target information through the tactical information coordination officer. It can only be done in such a stupid way.

Fortunately, there is basically no possibility of "interlaced and chaotic" formations on both sides in space combat. Otherwise, it is impossible to quickly and accurately distinguish the information of each warship without data support based on the processing capabilities of the warships themselves.

"The data has been uploaded, and the command from the flagship of the formation locks on the battleship numbered T-11."

"The bow points to the direction XX-XX-XX, and the side thruster engine starts."

"Engine group, increase the output of the reactor."

"The heat dissipation module is working stably, and the reactor output is being increased."

"Directing friendly units into orbit."

For a while, the entire CIC (Combat Intelligence Center) was busy with work—although compared with the predecessor of this department, that is, those warships on the water, the monotony of the space environment and the improvement of computer technology made them at least only Eighteen people are needed to satisfy most of the operations of this 600-meter-long giant ship. Counting the astronauts, the damage control and engineering departments have a total of about forty people, and the positions are greatly reduced.

Of course, the price of streamlining is that the work intensity of each of them has correspondingly increased-no way, in order to ensure that the fleet can stay here for a long time without support when the war is unfavorable, the higher-ups have to use The number of personnel has been reduced a lot, so that the agricultural product operation area on the battleship can support supplies for at least five years.

Although things like compressed biscuits and nutrient paste are not inedible, compared with the serious vegetables and meat produced by agricultural products, the taste of these foods is still too bad.

This is not to say that the space soldiers are delicate, on the contrary, as the soldiers who are at the forefront of fighting against the extinct machinery, their will is stronger than the other—but, the will is strong, and they can endure hardships. Use these officers and soldiers as machines.

It is obvious that they can eat a healthy diet and fight in a good environment, so why must they deliberately lower the standard just for the slogan of "hard work and hard work"?

What's more, the environment of space battleships is actually quite poor - it is different from the spacious bridge imagined in many literary works of the previous era, and the luxurious life with panoramic floor-to-ceiling skylights. It's even worse.

The narrow passageway is full of sundries, and once you enter it, you will see the sun for several months or even years. Eating, sleeping and various daily operations will become extremely difficult under the condition of zero gravity. Not only that, once you start fighting , and have to bear the high temperature caused by the loss of the heat dissipation system-even if the air conditioning system has the second priority heat dissipation guarantee in the battleship, it is an extremely harsh environment.

In this case, a good diet that is almost the same as that on the planet has become the best way to stabilize the mood of officers and soldiers and improve happiness—this is why every expeditionary warship requires a good cook and breeding expert.

However, even with this saving of manpower, there is still an outsider on this battleship.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Looking at the busy combat intelligence center, outside... the captain thought so.

Volume 92 Extinction War: Chapter [-] Selling Teammates?

It's not that he's fishing for fish, it's just because, when a space battleship is in combat, the captain is really not a very important position. To put it bluntly, it is a completely dispensable position.

Although theoretically, the captain is the highest person in charge of a battleship, the supreme commander, who is in charge of the life and death of the entire spaceship, and most orders can be issued in his name, which sounds very critical.But in the actual operation, the captain is one of the few people who play the least role in combat.

This is mainly due to some historical reasons-although the Space Force is a service completely different from the old era of the navy, land and air forces, the entire military system should be redesigned in theory, but in reality, the composition of the human space force is still different Consciously influenced by the old navy.

Therefore, due to a large number of references to the personnel composition of surface ships and submarine forces, on modern space battleships, it is not the captain who is actually in charge of manipulating the battleship, but the Combat Intelligence Center (CIC), who is also responsible for commanding the entire CIC. Not the captain, but the tactical operations officer of the ship.

In this mode, the captain should have stayed on the bridge with a wide view, instead of being wrapped in layers of armor and the hull in the deep CIC, but here, there was a problem.

Space battleship, it has no bridge.
