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

As Feng Yu read it, he turned the notebook to a new page, preparing to record other scenes here.

"The next thing is, the strange-looking unknown planet No. 2..."

Before she could finish writing, a faint light outside the window caught her attention.

"Cuckoo?"

She tilted her head, her eyes trying to focus on the sudden light spots.

"Well...the color...the placement...the brightness..."

"Sure enough, it was an explosion!"

She flapped her wings and got the answer with certainty.

Very good, all the previous guesses can be swept into the trash - those dozens of light spots are not civilian spacecraft at all, but warships!

How many tons of explosives must have been used for such a bright explosion!

Looking at the white bird-shaped object that she had focused on recording just now, but now it has become fragmented, she pondered for a moment.

It's a savage bird.

It seems that the pension should not be spent by itself.

Under the light that bloomed from time to time outside the window, she said deeply the word that best expressed the complexity of her heart in the wisdom bird civilization.

"毾."

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 130 The Cat Alliance

After an indiscriminate bombardment, the humans expressed their satisfaction looking at the track that seemed to have been ravaged by a reinforced husky.

The entire demolition process did not receive any decent resistance. Shortly after the human fleet set sail from the station, the extermination unit, which judged that victory was hopeless, evacuated all the moving things above Gekimed. As for those who remained, they were basically Unarmed production facilities have no ability to resist the high-power lasers of battleships.

This is a very wise move - all the active warships of the extermination unit are deployed in Kasdler, and it is impossible to rush to Gekimed, which is far away on the other side of the orbit, in a short period of time, without the protection of the fleet However, it is impossible to fight against a complete 36-ship formation with the orbital defense platform and more than a dozen semi-finished warships under construction.

Instead of losing all the warships under construction just to cause a little damage to mankind, it is very obvious that they should be preserved to provide more and more effective help for subsequent wars.

Of course, if it is an ordinary organic civilization, it is almost impossible for the decision-makers to make the decision to withdraw the entire fleet and give up the planet just to "preserve the vitality"-if this power is preserved, the hearts of the people will almost be scattered. .

But it is a pity that the extinct unit is an omnic civilization, and unlike the red, it is also a non-social civilization with only a single conscious individual, which allows the extinct unit to make an "optimal solution" without any worries.

This is a significant advantage in an extermination war destined to have only one winner.

The only pity is that, as a joint-class battleship with free electron lasers as its main output method, it does not carry too many nuclear missiles on it-that is what missile ships will do.

As for the nuclear bomb barrage launcher, although it is also equipped with nuclear warheads, as a "terminal interception firepower", the demand for this type of missile is basically opposite to that of interstellar/long-range anti-ship missiles, let alone specialized anti-ship missiles. Compared with the nuclear bomb.

This kind of missile is basically a small-equivalent warhead + solid rocket motor configuration. It pursues quick response and high acceleration in a short period of time. Fortunately, it can form a strong enough "barrage" when the hostile ship missile enters the final air defense circle.

To some extent, it can be compared to an interstellar version of a heat decoy. Its design purpose is to exchange life with the number of enemy missiles when they break through to the close circle. The distance is only on the order of hundreds to thousands of kilometers, and the dv is only a few kilometers per second.

Small in size, slow in speed, and without a strong insulation layer, it can't even get through Gekimed's atmosphere, let alone break through its land-based air defense network.

As a result, they can only launch indiscriminate sweeps of the enemy's orbital facilities, and for the buildings on the ground, they can only choose a few more important targets to destroy.

Although Gekimede’s atmosphere is not thick, it is not negligibly thin—at least not for the GW-class lasers they are currently using.

As for the super-powerful lasers in sci-fi works that can burn through the atmosphere and burn large pieces of glass on the surface in one shot, it can only be said that they still have a long way to go.

This is a very embarrassing point of modern warships-as a "powerful" interstellar warship, the main gun installed can neither bombard the ground nor cover firepower, and can't even hit a larger asteroid. The most common task is anti-missile.

This style of painting is a bit strange.

No way, who calls the electromagnetic gun is really disappointing. The same energy can drive the FEL laser to output at a distance of 6 kilometers, but it can only hit a pitiful 0 to [-] kilometers per second when switched to an electromagnetic gun. It takes five or six minutes to fly [-] kilometers, and the hit rate is basically [-].

The electromagnetic cannon stretches the hips, the particle cannon technology is immature, and the missile is just restrained by the laser. As a result, a group of warships starting at [-] tons can only use laser pointers to shine on each other's eyes. It is really a wicked person.

"In my opinion, there should be no repair value for the orbital skyhook that was blown up like this?"

Looking at the skyhook that was broken into dozens of pieces on the track, Doolittle touched his chin.

"Blown up like this, if I were to exterminate the unit, I would choose to build a new one."

Although it seems that the skyhook wreckage at this moment is still relatively concentrated, as if it can continue to be used as long as it is glued together again, but they know that this is just an appearance.

The entire Skyhook wreckage spans orbital altitudes from 100 kilometers to 1000 kilometers, and according to Kepler's law, the lower the orbit, the faster the wreckage linear velocity, and vice versa, the higher the orbit, the slower it will be.

When the skyhook is still intact, the skyhook can "drag" the part with a faster speed in the low orbit through the structure, and at the same time "pull" it to the part with a faster speed in the high orbit. The macro performance is that the skyhook will follow its structural center of mass The orbit in which it operates.

This is also the principle of the space elevator. If the center of mass of the skyhook is in a synchronous orbit, its ground linear velocity is just equal to the linear velocity of the equator, so that it remains relatively stationary.

But after the skyhook is disconnected, the pulling force is lost, and the part below the center of mass will fall toward the low orbit because its speed is not enough to maintain the current orbit, and the part above the center of mass will rise toward the high orbit because the speed exceeds the current orbit, thus quickly The ground is a mess—after a few cycles, the wreckage of the skyhook will fly all over the orbit, completely losing its repair value.

In the history of mankind, there have been accidents where the skyhook disconnected, but that kind of disconnection is generally broken into two pieces. As long as the rescue is timely, the docking repair will be carried out when the low-orbit part completes a circle and catches up with the high-orbit part. , there is a high probability that it can be saved.

But this kind of one that was smashed into more than 100 pieces by nuclear bombs and lasers...they really can't figure out how to fix it.

It's hopeless, let's build a new one.jpg

"By the way, what happened to that new alien space station? Has anything changed?"

After confirming that the goal of this trip has been perfectly achieved, Doolittle put down the PAD and asked the adjutant beside him.

Although he was still secretive when he first discovered it, worried that it would affect the morale of the army, but after confirming that the other party was only a non-threatening backward civilization equivalent to human beings in the middle of the 21st century, Doolittle, who had obtained the permission of his superiors, simply Disclosed the news to subordinates.

"The Lindan reported that when we started to attack the enemy's orbital skyhook, the infrared signal of the alien space station had a weak rise, and it is speculated that some equipment may be activated to collect data after seeing the light explosion of the nuclear bomb, such as a telescope some type of."

"Other than that, nothing has changed? Like that...that..."

"Cat League, sir."

Adjutant reminded

"Yes, Cat League, just like that Cat League said, it becomes a wormhole or something."

Doolittle asked.

According to the latest notice issued above, after the "disintegration" of the Jeffrey civilization, the original "homogeneity-Jeffrey mutual defense agreement" disappeared automatically due to the dissolution of the member states, and was replaced by the Jeffrey Federal Republic and The "Maomao single-push homology-Jeffrey Federation of the Federal Republic" formed by the same group.

The official abbreviation is "Cat League", and the country code is...

UCCR.

It is said that there is also a proposal called ccccp that is not afraid of big things, but it was rejected.

"No, and sir, according to the cat alliance, it took several months from the appearance of the ship to the formation of the wormhole, and it did not form immediately."

"So that's the case, then it has nothing to do with us."

As soon as he heard the magnitude of "several months", he immediately put this alien space station behind him-let alone wait until then, the outcome of this war is basically a certainty, even if it arrives There is still a see-saw that is evenly matched, so what help can a backward civilization that has just reached the level of human beings in the middle of the 21st century?

Since it is useless, it is useless.

"Fleet ready to sail, target, G2-139d-b-L4 wormhole."

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant first conveyed the order, and then asked a little uncertainly, "But, are you sure you don't want to pick up the alien from that alien space station?"

"Why pick them up?"

Facing the adjutant's question, Doolittle was a little puzzled.

"A useless backward civilization, whether we help or not, will not do us any good. On the contrary, if we let the fleet find them, it will take at least a day to go back and forth."

"The fortress is still under siege, how can there be time to pick them up."

"Uh, got it, sir."

Although he wanted to say that the defense here has already been completely wiped out by them anyway, there is no need to worry about the logistics ship leaving the team and being attacked. It is entirely possible to send an engineering ship to install the space station back, and the main fleet will still go as planned. Wormhole flying is fine, and the engineering ship consumes more fuel.

But seeing what his boss meant, he shut up wisely—if he wanted to make such a decision, he must have got the permission of his superiors, at least by default.

Moreover, speaking rationally, whether it is to help or not to help, there is no problem for human beings, and no one is obliged to rescue a bunch of unknown aliens.

If it is said that the opponent’s technology is very advanced, they might help them—but the purpose of helping them in that way is also for the benefit of mankind, and it is to leave a good impression when negotiating with the mother civilization of the opponent, just like humans In the final analysis, the protection of the ecological environment and the protection of species diversity are all out of the interests of human beings, not out of any "animals have the right to live" or something.

This kind of thinking has long been lost in the two brutal wars of World War III and Star Wars I.

Humans are only responsible to humans.

Of course, out of sympathy as an intelligent creature, he still hopes that the other party can leave this star field surrounded by enemies alive.

That's it.

"Hope you're okay."

--------

"Hope you're okay."

After learning that human beings did not choose to rescue the unknown civilized space station that appeared out of thin air, Hong, who was too far away, could only bless them from afar.

If her fleet was in that position, Hong would send an engineering ship to pick it up, but for now, Hong has no interest in sending warships and engineering ships all the way to pick them up.

In this respect, she thinks similar to humans. She also feels that an early space civilization is really useless to war. The reason why she chooses to help is simply because her engineering ships are very cheap, and at the same time help They will not have any impact on Hong's core interests.

Thinking in another way, if the planet where her cub is located is under siege, would she choose to assign an engineering ship to pick it up?

Don't even think about it, even if a little fuel has almost zero impact on the battle situation.

Therefore, she would not say anything to humans like "It doesn't matter if an engineering ship spends more fuel".

This has nothing to do with xenophobia or any kind of ethnicism-even pro-foreign civilizations may make the same decision, for no reason, just because for a normal civilization, the interests of this civilization must be higher than that of a I have never been in contact with the connection, and I don't know what the interests of foreign civilizations are.

In fact, the civilizations that can reach the interstellar era are not good. The old Jeffrey Federation wiped out the "Shogel Civilization", the old Farsati Planetary Alliance wiped out the "Cheluo Civilization", and Hong completely suppressed the AI ​​civilization. Star civilization, just wait for the army to clean it up when the technology is sufficiently developed, and you can get the bonus ball for "destroying other civilizations".

In contrast, human beings are still the most "gentle" ones here-at least on the surface, after all, they have never harmed any alien intelligent creatures.

Because their first wormhole went directly to the home of the Extinct Omnic, there was no chance to hurt them.

By the way, as far as the current situation is concerned, the first wormholes opened by various civilizations lead to extinct civilizations. For example, when Jeffrey and Fasati met Shugel and Che Luo civilizations, they were all very temperamental. Extreme, fanatical hatred of foreigners to the point of being completely unable to communicate with racial cleanliness.

What the homologous body, human beings, and this unknown civilization that has just emerged is an extinct omnipotence whose purpose is to destroy all organic life.

It's just that the cleanliness of those two races are relatively unlucky. One just launched the first manned spaceship and then opened the hole in less than a week. The experimental rocket, which was only tens of kilometers away, didn't even enter low-Earth orbit, but the wormhole opened.

Unlucky old man.

Of course, some people speculate that this may also be some kind of game rule, but the sample is too small to have any confidence—maybe it’s just a black face?

In short, under the selective ignorance of various forces, a certain ignorant blue bird was left on the track of Gekimede—but the good news is that the armed forces here are not controlled by humans. If it is gone, it means a strategic retreat. Without large-scale orbiting facilities such as skyhooks and ground mass accelerators, the extermination units will not be able to send new weapons for a while, and they will not bother to send new weapons.

Therefore, at least until the wormhole opens, her life is still safe for the time being.

In September, never show off!

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 130 Where did the fifth missile go?

In this way, amidst the peace, when the red fleet was about to arrive at the wormhole, the extermination omnic finally moved.

During the entire voyage, there were eight intermittent firefights between humans and the Extinct Omnics—this was somewhat different from what humans initially expected. After all, according to common sense, the main reinforcements from the allies would only take 12 days to arrive. Once reinforcements are received, the current numerical advantage of omnics will no longer exist.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, they should choose to use the suddenness of the jump to penetrate the human defense line and quickly resolve the battle, thus resolving the evenly matched frontal team battle into two more fights, rather than classic space battles. As in the battle, slowly wear down the defensive platform group of the fortress by occupying the dominant orbit.

Although launching a surprise attack without destroying the defense platform will cause some additional battle damage, compared to being copied by the red 500 warships, it is the right choice to pay more to eliminate one of them as soon as possible.

In fact, they did do this at the very beginning. Whether it was the opening barrage of the fleet missiles or the downhill orbit that the main fleet entered with an afterburner attitude, it all showed that the opponent really wanted to press them to death here. of.

However, due to the timely warning of the third missile base, in order to cover the exposed group of interstellar missiles, the enemy recklessly chose to jump the second fleet, that is, the fleet that came from the Iron Heart Destroyer star field, directly to low orbit. The missile group from Mars hit it head-on with the help of the planetary bunker, directly losing 40% of its combat capability.

After encountering such a huge change, the Extinct Omnic was forced to give up this wave of attacks, withdraw the two fleets along the high orbit and refit, and human beings gained a precious respite.

Gathered the small "wolf pack" fleet scattered around the Roche lobe, repaired damaged battleships and defense platforms, and even used tugboats to drag some of the Mars defense platforms that were closer to the wormhole. A lot of work has been done during this time.

It can be said that the garrison officers and soldiers who successfully warned the fortress increased their winning rate by at least 2 percentage points-at least in their view, who did not know that someone was deliberately releasing water.

After the failure of the first round of attack, the Extinction omnics did not try to force the entire fleet to rush into the mid-to-close range for a head-to-head decisive battle as before, but began to follow the normal planetary attack process.

First of all, let one fleet scrape away at a place about 2 to 139 kilometers away from the main force of mankind to play the dual role of consuming supplies and containment; the other fleet climbs to a high orbit, and then Adjust the orbit to form a perigee very close to the surface of G[-]-[-]-db, but not so close that the fleet will snap a picture of the ultra-high eccentricity orbit of the planet's surface.

In this way, according to orbital mechanics, when the fleet approaches the surface of the planet along the orbit, the potential energy decreases rapidly and the kinetic energy rapidly increases, thus allowing the fleet to achieve a very considerable relative speed.

And with super high speed, the enemy fleet can quickly pass by the weak link of the defense line, complete the attack by virtue of the crushing level advantage in numbers, and then use the speed to quickly break away and return to the original high potential energy track. Hit and retreat in the true sense of the word.

This is the gravitational dive attack, and it is also one of the advantageous tactics that the side in the high potential energy orbit can adopt in the planetary attack and defense. Although it is difficult to pose a direct threat to the main fleet, the victory lies in the small risk, the battle damage ratio is good, and the propellant consumption is extremely low. It is perfect for consumption.
