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

Anyway, it is forced to move, and it will be slower if it is slower, but in this way, first of all, because the artillery hardly needs electricity, the heat dissipation pressure of the power pile will disappear at once.

Secondly, compared to cooling a megawatt-class electromagnetic gun or a gigawatt-class high-energy laser, it is relatively easier to cool a gunpowder barrel more than ten meters long. When the two are added together, the demand for heat dissipation can be said to be greatly reduced. , In this way, a lot of space can be saved for loading more turrets.

By the way, it can also carry more nuclear bomb barrages that do not require electricity to further enhance the air defense capability.

"Sounds great, so why wasn't it adopted?"

If you don't consider the sense of disobedience of using gunpowder cannons in the space age, Xier thinks it's pretty good just by sounding.

Although she has not studied any courses on battleship design, no matter how educated people are, after listening to Hong's nagging for so many years, they can also understand how important it is for a space battleship to consume no electricity and have low heat dissipation pressure. Tempting options.

Probably similar to the allure of the tail in front of Hong.

"The battery life is not working."

Sure enough, Hong's gaze was immediately attracted by the slowly swaying tail on the bed sheet - if it was a conventional organism, it could be interpreted as "subconscious", but for an omnic with strong self-control ability, her Look, literally stare.

Within a few seconds, she couldn't hold back her heart, and stretched out her sinful claws.

"Gunpowder shells are much larger than electromagnetic projectiles, and the consumption rate of dozens of forts is fast, and they will run out of bullets after a long time."

"Can't you make one that weighs a few grams like an electromagnetic cannon?" Xi'er was so used to such a sudden attack that she didn't even change her expression, "It's like a bullet."

"The speed is too slow. Although the speed is not that important, a speed of only 1000 meters per second is really useless. It takes an hour and a half for a shell to fly [-] kilometers, and there is really no threat at all."

Hong explained.

"By the way, at least from the feeling of touch, my newly developed hair conditioner is very effective."

Yes, in Hong's research laboratory, among a row of scientific research projects involving various cutting-edge science and weapon development, the research on hair conditioner is quite out of place.

Even in the classification, skin care products headed by hair conditioner are also classified as research under the "Advanced Biotechnology Research Institute", and their importance is not much different from the level of prosthetic organs and gene re-customization.

Anyway, Hong has nothing to study about biology, and she is idle when she is idle, so why not spend some beauty treatment to make the cubs look more beautiful.

As a result, the cubs enjoyed the hair conditioner, which was produced with more computing power than the aerospace engineering of the old era, combined with the top biological laboratory in the entire star field.

Oh, and skincare, skincare that really benefits your body.

After all, Hong is for his own cubs, so he can spend all kinds of rare materials on it at any cost to ensure that they are absolutely harmless to the body-in other words, in the absence of an economic system, the value is only measured by the working hours of the materials themselves To her, these so-called rare materials are nothing more than ordinary things.

"It's very good, it's so soft to the touch, I want to touch it myself."

Xier half-closed her eyes and turned her head slightly, looking very comfortable.

Although Hong's body is modeled after the Catus, and it also has furry ears and tail, and the touch is not much different, but for some reason, Hong feels that Xier's feels good to the touch.

As for the tails of those Jeffreys in Bai, they actually look very comfortable and want to touch them, but due to the sensitivity of their tails and the special meaning that Hong needs to avoid, Hong can only reluctantly look at a large group of people. The lovely Jeffrey dangles in front of his eyes every day, but he can't get his hands on it.

Do you know how painful that kind of pain is? !

It hurt so much that Hong wanted to play a song on the spot.

"You touch mine too?"

she asked tentatively.

"Yeah, it's okay to touch yours too!"

After Hong reminded her, Xi'er realized that she could also touch Hong's tail.

Can't let this omnic prostitute her for nothing every day!

So one person and one machine just licked each other's tails like this-the whole process took about 5 minutes. If their tails were not long enough, it would be a bit difficult to lick each other.

Although Hong still had a lot to say, after thinking about it for a while, she decided to take Xi'er out for a walk first, and then masturbate when she came back.

After so many years, because she has only communicated with Hong alone, Xier has become more and more indifferent to the outside world. What she wants to do every day is to stay in the room. Apart from studying and playing stand-alone games, interacting with Hong has completely degenerated into There is a creature called "house".

Therefore, in order to attract Xi'er to go out, Hong specially built an artificial ecological area in this base. Except for the mountains that can't be put down, Hong basically reproduced the original scenery underground. .

There is even a sandy beach, a small artificial lake, with the surrounding ultra-high-definition projection screens that can almost be faked, and the environment interaction of real-time computing, which realistically simulates the feeling of the beach.

Strictly speaking, the scenery of this underground ecological area is much better than that on the ground - after so many years of war, and before the awakening, the red did not consider the reasons for the ecological environment at all, the ecological circle on the ground has long been destroyed It's not much different from the wasteland.

Without filtering, even the native Catus could not tolerate such an environment.

Perhaps, this is the price of victory.

Volume 46 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] Catus Ecological Studies

The entire underground ecosystem, the ecological area alone covers an area of ​​about 370 square kilometers, and if the connecting passages and related maintenance facilities are counted, it is as high as [-] square kilometers.

In the old days, a city capable of accommodating a population of 100 million occupied no more than that.

What's more, in order to provide creatures with a sufficiently wide and realistic living environment, Hong must dig each ecological zone quite high, and an artificial canopy is hung on the top of the [-]-meter-high cave, which can be real-time according to the ground conditions. Shows what the current sky and stars look like.

Even, at some point, if you look up carefully, you can see the giant space skyhook passing like a shooting star in low orbit, or the spaceship that is preparing to dock with the skyhook.

In order to complete the orbital mission of tens of thousands of tons per day, the entire industrial network is built along the orbital projection of Kawei. The industrial zone will pack the completed parts and send them in at the right time from the nearby launch center. track.

For the sake of efficiency, the aerospace spacecraft does not use the "unloading" method of transportation, but directly unloads the entire cargo compartment, and then takes other cargo compartments sent down from space, and quickly disengages to free up the docking port for subsequent spacecraft.

After saving enough cargo compartments, the Skyhook will start the elevator at the corresponding port and send it to Kaweiyi, which is [-] kilometers above the ground. Each elevator track can pull a thousand tons of cargo at a time, and can Send six back and forth.

In other words, this four-track skyhook alone has a daily orbital volume of nearly [-] tons.

As for the more gorgeous-looking super electromagnetic orbital accelerator launch that directly ejects the cargo into orbit, due to the angle problem, it is usually invisible here.

The entire environment is manufactured. Sunlight, sky, breeze, rainfall, and supercomputing arrays precisely control every parameter, so that all creatures inside can enjoy the same ecological environment as before the war.

Without the radiation brought by nuclear thermal rockets, without the air filled with poisonous gas, most of the creatures rescued by Hong can thrive in this underground world—even though they are bathed in artificial sunlight, Hong believes that, They should like this better than the real sun on the ground emitting strong ultraviolet rays.

Even, after going through Hong's careful design, Xi'er could experience a strange thing that she had only seen in textbooks before.

snow.

"It's much more beautiful than the one in the book!"

Xier picked up a ball of snow from the bushes, watched the snowflakes falling slowly from the glove, and showed off to Hong.

This kind of rare substance that originally only existed on the super high mountain peaks and occasionally appeared in the cold zone was successfully copied into this ecological zone by her through technical means.

Obviously, Hong's efforts were not in vain, this scene that she had never seen before immediately aroused Xi'er's interest.

Of course, in order not to damage the environment here, Hong deliberately chose the frigid ecosystem as the site for snowfall. The animals and plants here can live in an environment close to zero, and some species with strong vitality can theoretically even live below zero for a long time.

Although according to the speculation of the old Catus scientists, in ancient times, Catus had a history of being covered by a vast snow field, and even the ancestors of the Catus people evolved from that ice field.

But that was many billions of years ago. For the modern Katus, most people can only look at things like snow in textbooks.

"It's pretty." Hong helped her adjust the hat a little, making sure that her four ears were well kept in her warm cotton hat, "Wrap it up, don't show it outside."

"Uh-huh."

"This is the so-called, dangerous and charming."

After the snowflake in her hand was almost drained, Xier grabbed a handful again and kneaded it constantly, trying to turn it into a sphere.

"Is it dangerous?" After rubbing it almost, she bumped it twice, threw it into the distance, watched it draw a beautiful arc, and asked, "Although it's cold, it feels good of."

"Ai Xing was forced by this kind of thing to settle in the narrow thawing zone on the equator." Hong looked at the one in the distance who drank half of the water, and was stunned by the snowball falling from the sky. small animals.

"Almost every mass extinction in the past 70 billion years has originated from a sudden ice age."

"After all, Catus is too mild. Every sudden drop in temperature will reshuffle the entire biosphere. Only creatures with insulating fur can survive the long ice age."

"But once the ice age is over, the long warm period of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, the thick hair will become an obstacle to survival, forcing them to evolve into species with less hair - until the next time the temperature drops, they will be again Harvesting, so back and forth, lasted for an unknown number of billions of years."

"The Catus people, after the No.80 second ice age, took advantage of the warm period of tens of millions of years to evolve their current superb intelligence?"

She touched Xier's head and said so.

"According to speculation, if a planet has an excessively large inclination angle, for example, depending on the angle of revolution and rotation, at a certain time of year, you can see a scene of ice and snow, and the entire continent is covered by snow."

"When that angle passes, the ice and snow will unblock again, and the earth will warm up."

"But in that case, wouldn't it be necessary to experience extreme cooling and heating every year?"

Xier asked in disbelief, could a planet with an annual temperature difference of tens of degrees really be inhabitable?

For Catus, the temperature difference between the coldest and hottest time of the year is generally only about ten degrees. Even if the temperature difference between day and night is calculated, reaching twenty degrees can be called a big drop in temperature.

According to Hong, when it's cold, it's minus thirty or forty degrees, and when it's hot, it's minus thirty or forty degrees. The creatures inside must change their fur several times a year, right?

Terrible environment.

"Can such a planet really evolve advanced life?"

"I don't know, maybe it's possible?" Hong said that he had never seen it before, so he didn't know if there would be one. "But in theory, if I think about it, it is possible to create such a creature through genetic technology."

"Presumably, if such creatures can be produced naturally, the adaptability must be stronger than we imagined."

Xier said with emotion.

If such a harsh environment can evolve intelligent creatures, how daunting it would be!

In her imagination, a tall, strong figure, blue-faced fangs, and a terrifying image of thick hair was conceived in this way.

It would be too scary to talk to such a creature!

Volume 47 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] The Gathering of the Stars

Above the orbit of Catus, the diplomatic space station "Stargathering".

Hong, as always, maintained her ever-changing smile to the outside world, watching the alliance diplomats sitting across the conference table who also forced a smirk.

After receiving the information provided by Hong about the omnic claiming to be an "extermination unit", despite 1 reluctances in his heart, the alliance had to send an official diplomatic mission to return to this place in their eyes. The place is similar to Longtan and Tiger's Den.

"Are you comfortable with the gravity here?"

Although both parties knew that the so-called Jaffa Alliance was actually the "Anti-Red Alliance", at least on the surface, the atmosphere was not as tense as they imagined, and overall, it was relatively harmonious.

"Thank you for your concern, we feel very comfortable."

They also expressed their gratitude as before, as if everything was the same as before.

After all, it can be called a "cold war" between them at best, and they are more vigilant than hostile to the same clan.

Even if there is no threat of red, it is only a matter of time before Farsati and the Jeffreys form an alliance-as I said before, no matter what, they originated on the same planet after all.

Appearance, genes, ethics, culture, almost everything is similar, and the federation that completed a big unification in the pre-space age is the best proof.

Although it didn't last long and split into three countries due to various reasons, creatures from the same planet are more trustworthy than alien creatures who don't know the details and are frightening.

Of course, they will not form a country anymore - after so many years, the values ​​​​of the three countries have been worse than when they were originally divided, and it can almost be said that the sky has been turned upside down.

Although the Federation has the largest population and the most extensive star field, the superior conditions have become a stumbling block for them. People pursue the freedom of "no work", and only want to rest on the "prosperity" built by genetically modified slaves , Daily rich clothes and jade food.

After getting the "artificial intelligence technology" Eureka from the Farsati people, it has become more and more stagnant-who would dare to imagine that it consists of a parent star with a population of nearly [-] billion and several colonial stars? How can such a huge country even have a nationalized identity information system?

The upper echelons don't even know how many non-slaves there are in the country, for the simple reason that the people feel that the "identity system" violates their freedom and privacy.

"Maybe it violated their freedom to break the law."

This is how the empire evaluates the so-called "freedom" of the federation - a large part of the reason why the original empire was established was because they were extremely dissatisfied with the federation's values.

From the point of view of the empire, these pioneers were going through life and death in the front to develop this planet with a harsh environment, but they are still trying to find ways to embezzle supplies and ask for feedback from the colony, regardless of whether they have the ability to do so.

The people in the rear have the freedom to live and dress, so why should we pay for their freedom?

From the perspective of the Federation, they invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and spent a long time developing the colonial star against the offensive of the Farsati people. As a result, they could not even recover one percent of the capital. Just talking about some output, thinking about rebellion all day long, this is not a troublemaker, what is it?

When both sides have run out of patience, war breaks out.

Although they have now signed an alliance treaty, they all look at each other's values ​​with a disdainful attitude.

It would be difficult to integrate two countries with such a wide ideological gap.

As for the Farsati Planetary Alliance, it is a better solution-independence is just for survival. After the genetic engineering is completed, the Farsati who can reproduce normally can easily integrate into Jeffrey society.

After all, they still look the same.

"Let's get straight to the point. The existence of the extermination unit seriously threatens the organic people under my rule, and it is an even greater threat to you."

Hong didn't bother to beat around the bush with them anymore, and put forward her proposal straightforwardly.

"I don't want to keep the fleet to guard against you when I fight against the extermination unit. Therefore, I hope that you and I can sign a non-aggression treaty."

For this kind of non-friendly civilization diplomacy, her communication method is so simple and direct. Tell you the pros and cons of things, and sign if you like.

"Red knows that you will not accept my command, and thinks that I will deliberately consume your fleet as cannon fodder, so I don't need you to fight side by side with the same race."

Just as the diplomat was about to speak, Hong, who knew what he was going to say, immediately added: "Of course, if you want to make some efforts for your own survival, or to put it bluntly, you can send a fleet to Join the war, and Red can provide a high-rail port for you to station."
