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

It's just that many people not only don't mind this insulting title, but feel a little happy instead.

It is the greatest honor to be the dog of the red lady!

"Then what if they did it on purpose?" Xi'er insisted, "What if they really don't regard us as equal allies, but as existences similar to slave states?"

"That depends on whether the money they have accumulated in the past 100 years or our shipbuilding chain after the completion of the industrial revolution is faster."

"Of course, I wouldn't do anything to them if it wasn't as fast as us."

While Hong gently straightened Xi'er's messy hair just now, she showed an unusually friendly smile.

"Just a little education."

PS: In fact, I originally wanted to correct the great light written by human beings (after all, the author is also human), but after careful consideration, I found that if the writing of human beings, especially modern human beings who have no difference between the three views and the present, is too perfect, then It's very awkward, it feels fake, and it's as unreal as a bubble.

On the contrary, this feeling of "darkness revealed in the light", which is neither righteous nor evil, is more suitable for the human civilization in my imagination.

(No one should think that I am discrediting human beings...)

Volume II Extinction War: Chapter 94 Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

However, no matter how many things happened in the rear, it didn't affect the frontline battle, at least on the bright side, it didn't affect it.

From the perspective of the fleet being beaten, their fleet's firepower is still fierce, their coordination is still good, and their focus is still efficient, which has not changed at all from before.

After all, if there are contradictions, there are contradictions, and the basic policy of jointly fighting against the two extinct civilizations will not change - human beings need the same race and the Jaffa alliance to check and balance the extinct units, and share the pressure on the front line for them. Red also needs humans To fight against the extinction of the iron heart, and at the same time buy yourself time for industrial upgrading.

In other words, rather than unilaterally caring for the alliance, the relationship between Red and humans is more inclined to take what they need and use each other—after the period of time when the relationship was first established and they were not familiar with each other, the With the increasing understanding of the human regime, Hong has basically given up the idea of ​​​​reaching an "intimate" and "common destiny" alliance with humans.

It's not that the other party has any major problems, such as political instability, disunity, and infighting. On the contrary, from the communications over the past year, it can be seen that the stability and unity of this human population are quite high of.

Internally, they are like a spring breeze, with excellent social welfare, democratic voting, and regard the people as the most important and precious thing of civilization. Externally, they will not give an inch, fight to protect the interests of civilization and the population, and vow to stop all enemies Outside of their peaceful routine.

In a word, when friends come, they have good wine, and when enemies come, they have shotguns—this is the external value of human civilization, and, judging from the current exchanges, human beings are indeed implementing this creed.

Because, in the eyes of humans, they are the outsiders.

Is this wrong?In fact, there is nothing wrong with them. They are state administrative organs elected by human beings, representatives of a civilization, and it is unreasonable to consider human beings—they have to be responsible for their own people, no problem, for their own It’s okay for the country to be responsible. Under the guidance of the policy of “realizing the self-liberation of human beings,” it needs to be responsible for the entire human civilization. This is no problem.

But there is no need to be responsible for aliens alone.

"Observed hostile fleet starting main engines."

After setting off fireworks at the extreme range for several hours, the other party finally lost his temper and chose to retreat.

Obviously, after the failure of the mission to intercept the human fleet, there is no point in stalemate and mutual shooting here. Instead of wasting here like this, it is better to withdraw from the battle earlier and reduce losses.

In fact, not only the opponent, but Hong also wanted to retreat a long time ago. The human fleet has been taken over, and there are no resources or facilities here. What are the two branch fleets without a flagship to fight here.

The reason for the stalemate until now is nothing but a matter of posture.

Due to the angle difference and time difference between the two sides cutting into the orbit, on the current prograde orbit (counterclockwise) around the extinction core, there is generally a situation of "the fleet of the red and allies is in front, and the extinct civilization is behind".

As we all know, in order to exert the power of the shaft gun and hide its fragile engine at the same time, when the two sides are fighting, the bow of the battleship must face the enemy.As a result, in order to fight, Hong had to adjust her fleet to a posture with the engines facing forward and the bows facing aft.

But there is a problem here - if the red-tuned hull is turned and the orbit is accelerated, all vulnerable parts will be exposed to the enemy's firepower before it is out of the enemy's range, even if it is only a few 10 minutes, the loss will be huge. Far greater than the loss of shooting each other for several hours before.

However, if the engine is started directly without turning the hull, since the engine is facing the front of the orbit, the warship will not accelerate the orbit, but will decelerate and fall off the orbit.

However, in low orbit is the enemy's star field.

In this way, in order to avoid getting close to the enemy's orbit, Hong has to slow down and leave the battlefield first, and then turn around and accelerate after running far enough to pull a particularly steep orbit in order to escape from the gravitational well and return to his starport orbit. ——After such an operation, at least one-third to half of the propellant will be consumed more than the original plan, which is a huge loss.

However, the good news is that the enemy is also facing a similar problem, but from the opposite angle-they can only accelerate, but cannot slow down, and compared to the extra consumption required for red orbit change, since their planets are in low orbit, the The upper wormhole is a little closer to the Casterian orbit. They can choose to plunge into the gravitational well after breaking away, and use a high eccentricity elliptical orbit to return to the planet, which is much less expensive than the red one.

Of course, no matter how small it is, it’s not too small. Judging by the number of fleets they dispatch, at least it will cost hundreds of thousands of tons of working fluid. If it’s not a critical moment, the omnics are not willing to Pay so much work quality.

This is a competition of patience, to see whether Hong can't bear it first, or the two extinct omnics can't bear it first-this also involves some void games between the two sides, including "I think you can't bear it first, wait ", "I think you think I can't bear it first, but I can bear it, wait", "Actually I can't bear it too, but I have to make you think I can bear it" and so on.

Obviously, it was Red who won in the end—the enemy was the first to give up the battle and chose to speed up and leave the battlefield.

"What, this is not a life-and-death orbital war." Stuart rubbed his eyes, looking very listless, "Stuck at the extreme range to grind each other's skin, and then go back to each house to find each mother... It feels like Like a salute."

Finding that the battle of "staying up late" supervision is so boring, Stuart feels that she has lost a lot-this is different from what he imagined!

"This is a very common long-distance exchange of fire. How can you fight the kind of battle you imagine every day?"

While commanding the fleet to take advantage of the last few ten minutes to attack, Hong explained.

"It can also be seen from the configuration on both sides that there is no flagship and no interstellar missile support from the base. This battle was not intended to be fought in the direction of life and death from the beginning."

Even, according to Hong's monitoring, none of the ships on both sides was beaten into a "completely disabled" state. After several hours of shooting, the two sides' armor was smashed a lot, some heat sinks were damaged, and the structure was damaged. Other than a few points, there are no results worth mentioning-compared with the "Battle of Kawei II" that wiped out half of the fleet in a few hours more than ten years ago, it is simply a world of difference, let alone the battle with the The battle that the Ai Xing people fought determined the future of the "Battle of Katus".

By the way, judging from the fact that every "war" Hong fights is to defend her own planet, she is indeed a pacifist omnic with one heart and one heart (sure).

"It's so boring...I want to sleep."

Stuart made a "touched" sound.

"Sleep, the fleet won't be able to reach the base within three to five days."

Hong fondly touched her ear - from the fact that she just muttered and didn't lick Hong backhand, it can be seen that she was really sleepy.

After all, it has been 73 hours since she woke up last time, which is equivalent to almost two days without sleep. It is not easy for an underage cub to survive for so long.

"Good night."

After covering his little quilt, Stuart said good night in a rare, confused voice.

"Good night."

Hong also replied softly.

Under the control of the main control system, the lights in the room were quietly turned off, leaving only the night light in the corner and the red eyes emitting a faint red light.

Stuart fell asleep, but Hong's work had only just begun.

------Dividing line------

Six days later, the fleet sent out to pick up humans finally returned to the 11th satellite.

"Unexpectedly, the gravity here is quite comfortable."

The first batch of officers who came up to take a rest stood in front of the airlock leading to the "human settlement", stamped their feet a few times, and sighed sincerely.

Although the gravity of Catus is about 20% higher than that of the earth, it stands to reason that although humans can survive under this gravity, it is naturally not very comfortable.

But because at the beginning of the design, this habitation ship adopted a reduced speed in order to reduce the Coriolis force, the actual gravity felt is almost the same as that of the human home planet, the earth - under this gravity, Except for a small number of experts who come from the surface of Mars who will not adapt, other human beings can live here comfortably.

However, the accompanying experts are a very small group, and the human fleet also comes with a small centrifugal wheel residence ship that simulates 0.5 times the gravity of the earth. In this way, as long as they do not stay on this residence ship for a long , the body will not have much reaction.

After all, Mars colonization has a history of just over 100 years, and the "Martian humans" who were born and raised on Mars have only reached the fifth generation. In addition, due to some reasons, the development of human genetic modification technology The speed is extremely slow, so the physical difference between Martian humans and Earth humans is far from being as large as imagined in many literature works.

In fact, under the strong control of the governments of various countries, except for those living on the earth and Mars, the existing human beings basically live in the centrifugal wheel space station with a stable 1G gravity.

Although this will waste a lot of capacity and production capacity, there is no way, human beings are such fragile creatures.

They don't want to wait for the iron heart to be extinct, and the human side will first split into different races due to environmental factors and genetic modification-ancient humans can even fight over the color of the eyeballs, let alone the human race. The appearance, physique and genes have all changed. As a member of human beings, they don't have the slightest confidence in themselves.

Anyway, fighting with the front line, a bunch of Mars/Asteroid Belt/Jupiter/Saturnian Jianguo and the future of the earth will open up in the rear. Or the genetic adjuster suddenly said "for a blue and clean world!" Compared with the future of a nuclear bomb carrying away his hometown, it is much easier to build more 1G gravity centrifugal wheels.

"The confirmation of the atmospheric composition is complete, the double check is correct, and the airlock is opening."

Red’s crisp voice came from the speaker on the wall. Although it was an unfamiliar Catus language that was more complicated and difficult to understand than the common human language, most of the humans present could hear it due to the surprise tutoring before departure. understand her words.

Although the two sides had some unpleasant quarrels about the previous incident, given the alliance between the two parties, Hong naturally would not stumbling them over such a trivial matter—the habitation ship should let them live, or let them live.

Of course, for safety reasons, Hong chose to arrange them in the section farthest from Stuart, which is almost a cabin section on the other side of the spaceship. There is no direct route to Stuart in this place. If you want to go, you must You have to pass through the Alliance's residential area, or swing in space—no matter which route, it is equivalent to being exposed to the sight of Hong and the Alliance, which can be said to be quite safe.

"The voices of this spaceship are all female voices." A person with various bags in his left and right hands said, "It still sounds like a very cute girly voice."

"It should just be that we sound cute." The expert on the side made a theoretically more reasonable guess, "Maybe in their society, this is already a very accurate, efficient and formal voice."

"scoff~"

"Too..."

In the sound of their conversation, the airlock door slowly opened, revealing a wide passageway that is [-] meters behind, and its curve can be seen at a glance, as well as the room door that is opened neatly next to it—as expected, this is assigned to their living quarters.

"The oxygen content is normal, the air pressure is normal, and no harmful gas has been detected." A man who looked like a soldier clicked a few times on the operation panel on the arm of the space suit and confirmed, "Everything is correct. If you want to pick it up, you can put the The helmet is off."

"Let's wait until the air circulation system is checked."

"After reading the room, pick it up."

"Let's talk about it later."

A group of experts refused.

"It's all in someone else's territory, and you're still so particular." On the contrary, several leaders of the army took off their helmets and turned off the oxygen behind them, "If you are really afraid that aliens will harm you, you should start like them." won't come."

Of course, these words were just whispers in the channel before taking off the helmet, and they never mentioned it again after taking off the helmet—unless these aliens can quietly hack into their encrypted channel, Otherwise, it is impossible for the other party to know what they just talked about.

After all, they still want to form an offensive and defensive alliance with these catgirl aliens on the whole, and the cake layer is already a little dissatisfied with the previous temptations of the people below.

If the fact that some people "hate aliens" is known to the other party, I'm afraid it will cause even bigger diplomatic troubles-otherwise, the superiors will not suddenly remove a large number of people before departure.

"Welcome to the No. 1 residential spaceship of the Expeditionary Fleet, which belongs to the same family as Maomao Single Push."

Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, walked out slowly from the shadow beside her with graceful steps.

"Nice to meet you."

Volume II Anti-Extinction War: Chapter 95 Weak Artificial Intelligence?

As if the pause button had been pressed, it was visible to the naked eye that the group of people who were chattering suddenly fell silent.

Although they were mentally prepared to meet these aliens who didn't know whether they were cat girls or fox girls before boarding the spaceship, but when they saw them in reality, they realized that what they had done before Preparation is not enough.

This looks too young!

Is she really an adult?

"Hi, nice to meet you too."

Fortunately, the professionals in charge of diplomacy in the team acted in time, so that this historic meeting was not left in the cold.

Although I don’t know that the other party will suddenly appear here—after all, according to their previous communication, due to the different requirements of the two sides on the composition of the atmosphere, the plan is to let them go to the cabin of Jeffrey and the Catus, not The other party entered their compartment.

It’s not that they can’t survive. It’s similar to the reason why the Jeffreys can’t breathe the atmosphere of Catus for a long time. It’s all caused by too low oxygen content + insufficient air pressure—the main problem is the oxygen content. After all, the air pressure of the three planets The difference is at most 50kPa, and there is no difference in order of magnitude. As long as the amount of oxygen is sufficient, a higher or lower air pressure will have no effect.

However, the current level of technology does not have the ability to directly interfere with the composition of the planet's atmosphere, which forced Hong to choose the method of genetic fine-tuning, so that the cubs can adapt to the atmosphere of Catus after the opening of the dungeon in the future—— But in the artificial environment of the spaceship, it is different.

According to the data they provided, if you want people of the three races to live normally, the oxygen content needs to be increased to at least 32kPa. Obviously, if the oxygen concentration is increased to this concentration, the group of people usually There is no need to do anything, I am completely drunk.

Of course, if you really need to meet, it’s okay to let them enter each other’s cabin for a short time—different from the other’s lack of oxygen, they used to be sleepy with enriched oxygen at most, as long as they don’t live for a long time, it’s not too big Relationship.

"I'm Hong, and I'm responsible for handling almost all matters related to you. If you have any questions in daily life, you can consult me. I will answer and provide help according to the situation."

While talking, Hong pulled the service unit parked aside.

"Or, when you can't find me, you can also ask them, and they can also answer your questions."

"Thank you very much for your assistance, but..." He hesitated for a moment, then looked around to confirm that there were no other aliens nearby, and then continued, "It's not like the Jeffreys can't adapt to us. Breathing air?"

"Yes."

"The Catus people shouldn't be able to do it either, right?"

"Yes."

"If we wanted to meet in the original plan, it should be us going to your cabin?"

"Yes"

Hong tilted his head, and added: "The minimum oxygen pressure of the Catus is 23.5kPa, and the minimum oxygen pressure of the Jeffrey is 32kPa, both of which are higher than the minimum of 18kPa for humans."

"However, since humans can adapt to an oxygen pressure of up to 28kPa, and can live under 32kPa oxygen pressure for a short period of time without damage, the biological meeting between us should go to the cabin where the Jeffreys are. of."

This is also Hong's adaptive modification method for Jeffrey's cubs - by enhancing the function of their respiratory system, they can adjust their oxygen pressure requirements to 24kPa to 38kPa, so that they can live at the standard air pressure of 121kPa, oxygen The Catus atmosphere with a concentration of 22.5% (27kPa) can live in the atmosphere of Talaron with a standard pressure of 144kPa and an oxygen concentration of 25% (35kPa).

Of course, although the cubs have already completed this transformation, since there are still some wild and semi-wild Jeffrey scholars sent by the alliance in the central city, and it will take some time for the distance from the central city to be officially connected to the surface, so the red is still not there. The oxygen concentration in the city was adjusted too low, it just happened to be stuck at the limit of Xier’s intoxicated oxygen—and this concentration would not last long, after Xier returned, Hong would have to adjust it back to the limit. On the comfortable concentration of wild Jeffreys.

Although the population on each colony ball of the alliance has been adjusted accordingly, and there is also a planet with an oxygen pressure as low as 28kPa, but due to the distribution of its population, their cabins still have to have a minimum oxygen pressure of 32kPa.

And as wild Jeffreys who still need a minimum oxygen pressure of 32kPa, it is impossible for them to appear here without their oxygen masks.

"Then, are you from Catus or Jeffrey?"

Although the difference in appearance is actually "quite big" according to the other party, it is still difficult for humans who have neither an extra pair of ears nor an extra long tail to distinguish between the two. a little.

"I, I am a Catus..."
