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

Looking at the corners of Hong's mouth that still had a slight curvature, Bai pursed his lips and asked.

"Oh, this." Hong smiled, and slid her right hand down her long white hair, "I'm really happy."

"Meow?"

Shiro tilted his head and let out a very cute voice.

Red...Could it be broken due to too much pressure?

She stretched out her other hand cautiously, and gently leaned against Hong's forehead with the back of her hand.

Hmm...not hot either.

"?What are you doing?"

Looking at Hong's eyes full of doubts, Bai finally came back to his senses and recalled his actions just now.

"hey-hey."

She tried to make a fool of herself.

After thinking briefly, Hong, who probably understood what she was thinking just now, narrowed her eyes slightly.

claw.

Rubbing the fox's head angrily.

"Okay, I know you want to know why I'm not worried at all, right?" Hearing Bai making a 'snoring' sound comfortably in her hands, Hong Xiaomi asked mimily.

"Um..."

"Actually, the reason is very simple." Hong let go of her sinful hands, crossed out the interface that originally displayed the fleet's real-time combat star map, and switched to the perspective of the optical telescope responsible for monitoring the enemy's fortress, "Think about it carefully, this What does it mean when the fortress appears?"

"Hmm..." Bai thought hard for a moment, "Does it mean we are at a disadvantage?"

"No, it's just from a tactical point of view. You have to put your perspective on a higher level, not just a strategic one, but try your best to truly overlook the overall situation."

Hong explained.

"Then, if you look at it from a global perspective, what should it mean?"

"It's simple."

Hong smiled slightly, and tapped the fortress on the screen.

"This means that it has no way out."

--------

In the back, Hong and her cubs stuck together as usual. Besides Bai, there were many other cubs who raised similar questions, but because they had different understandings of space warfare, their questions were also different. .

Although in the eyes of most of the cubs, they are currently at a disadvantage, but in fact, the rear is still a peaceful scene—after all, they believe in Hong almost unconditionally, and Hong said no. If there is a problem, then it must be no problem.

But on the front line, the situation is not as peaceful as in the rear—in fact, at this time, both sides in the war are about to beat their brains out.

"Oh!"

In the fierce melee, a 20-gram projectile accelerated to nearly 200 kilometers per second narrowly avoided the early warning network composed of optical detection and radar, and released all the kinetic energy of tens of megajoules on it. On top of a hit electromagnetic gun defense platform.

At this level of speed, the hardness of the armor is hardly helpful for defense, because the collision between the two is beyond the explanation of solid mechanics, and the speed of the projectile has far exceeded the speed of sound of the material. The only thing that has an important impact is the density—and as we all know, most of the buildings in space are just parallel imports that don't have enough density.

The projectile that has turned into a scorching metal jet easily penetrated the weak armor of the defensive platform, which was more symbolic than practical, and pierced through the core component of one of the 250 kilojoule dual-mounted close-in defense turrets. The turret that was constantly spewing firepower, trying to intercept the enemy's guns/missiles, fell silent in an instant.

The interception firepower on the frontal battlefield was weakened a little again.

Although it is a core component, due to the simple structure and strong modularity of the small electromagnetic gun, and the defense platform itself has a lot of spare parts, it is actually very simple to restore it to combat power.

How easy is it?You only need to send an engineer, a transport robot responsible for handling spare parts, and a small engineering robot that all engineers have. Skilled engineers can even compress the whole process into 5 minutes-at this point, Even if the strong AI is allowed to do the knife himself, it can only be a little more than ten seconds faster than them, and the weak AI is even worse than them.

This is one of the advantages that human beings have, although they are small in number, they must not be ignored—it has been passed down for nearly 20 years since the 400th century, and it has accompanied countless eloquent histories.

Ancestral krypton gold loss tube.

In this regard, AI at the current level of technology is really not their opponent - human damage control looks very old and very good, but at some point, ancient does not mean backward; on the contrary, as long as it is used properly , these ancient things can be rejuvenated, and even step on high-tech.

If you look closely, this is the embodiment of the greatest advantage of human beings - strong subjective initiative, and the ability to deal with emergencies in complex emergencies.

In short, the processing terminal has a brain.

"The electrification test is completed, and the B-19-7 battery is back online."

Accompanied by the unique noise of superconducting coils, the engineer was operating the tablet in his hand, while rushing back along the inspection passage—this defense platform may be attacked at any time, and he must return as quickly as possible. Stand by at base point for the next damage that needs to be repaired.

Are you tired? It's really tiring. It's not that easy to compete with AI's combat power with flesh and blood, but he will never complain, because he, as well as every officer and soldier on the battlefield, know that this is Necessary sacrifice.

is a real, necessary sacrifice.

The Prussian military theorist Clausewitz said very well that war is the continuation of politics. This sentence can summarize almost all wars in human history, whether it is the bloody battle in the trenches or the war in the aircraft. The roaring World War II in the cannon, the Third World War amidst the electric current of the armored army, or the Quasi-Fourth World War that passed silently in the silent space can all be included in this sentence.

The wheels of history are rolling forward, but they on the wheels are just repeating the same tragedy again and again - the only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans have not learned any lessons from history.

But when everyone thought that human beings would only continue on the wheel of history in an endless cycle, a turning point appeared.

Iron Heart beat them out of this cycle in the most brutal and cruel way.

Although the price is very heavy, it is precisely because of this heavy price that they can completely remove the gangrene that was once attached to the bones and usher in a brighter future-a future in which human beings can unite and advance together.

The reason why this can be done is very simple. This is a war that is not in the "political extension".

It is unlike any war in human history, as soldiers, they are not fighting for dignitaries, they are not fighting for racism, they are not fighting for ideology, they are not even fighting for the national interest.

They are fighting for the survival of the species.

They are not sacrificed for any additional benefits, they are only for the most basic things, just the right to live.

The enemy has no retreat, and they have no retreat.

They will give everything to survive

"All~ Army~ Attention!"

"fire!"

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 140 IX The Barrage on the Port Side is Too Thin!

From the very beginning, this battle has been intensified.

Abandoning the fantasy of winning without fighting, Unit 01, which no longer releases water, has shown its true strength in front of everyone for the first time—whether it is a missile that suddenly appears, a fortress that rides directly on the face, or a sudden attack With the cooperation of the fleet that has reached a higher level, they have shown one thing to them all the time.

The other party never regarded them as life and death enemies from the beginning to the end.

They are just bait used to bring Hong in.

And now, the prey has been drawn in, it's time to catch them all.

"Warning, the model shows that the estimated winning rate of the current battlefield is 4.35%."

"Warning, the victory rate of this battlefield has fallen below the minimum acceptable threshold. The computer judges that the possibility of completing the scheduled mission is extremely low. Please send more reinforcements to balance the victory rate... Repeat the warning, the model shows..."

The AI ​​in the command center has been constantly reporting the latest situation on the battlefield, repeating the words "request for reinforcements" over and over again. Obviously, the situation is quite unfavorable.

As for possible reinforcements?That's really not the case. There are indeed a lot of warships in the rear of the solar system, and the total number can even reach about 2000 million tons.

However, they are scattered on the five major and more than 100 small different political entities from Mercury in the interior to Saturn in the exterior. Regardless of whether they are willing to send out all their last defense fleets, they just send When they assembled, it would take two or three months to start, not to mention the Saturn and Jupiter defense fleets that were hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and could not arrive within a year anyway.

By the time the fleet arrived, the day lily was cold.

Moreover, these home defense fleets are not only far away, but most of them are old models, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than the two models currently mainly used by humans.

As for why they still keep these old warships instead of decommissioning them to free up money to build new ones.

It can only be said that although human beings have become more united than at any time in history, there are still frictions between various countries due to various reasons.

Although under the management of the common treaty, the mutual communication of the decision-makers, and the influence of the mainstream thoughts of the people, they are willing to transfer the main fleet to the expedition, and they are not worried that someone will take the opportunity to do something wrong, but in the end, countries still need some The most Minimum space power to deal with conflicts between nations.

Just like Red in the past, she kept a large number of defensive fleets to deal with possible threats before re-establishing good relations with Jeffery civilization. The reason why she chose to "soft invade" Jeffrey "To a large extent, it is also for the reason of reducing worries.

The effect of this soft invasion is really good, so good that the original economy is almost stagnant, the development of various regions is unbalanced, corruption is prevalent, the class is solidified, the distribution is uneven, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and there are frequent internal conflicts in wars. The civilization of China has invaded into a civilization where the economy has taken off to new highs every year, development is balanced and common progress, the style of integrity has become the main theme, the concept of class has basically disappeared, fair distribution, the gap between the rich and the poor is extremely small, and there is no internal friction in unity.

It was obviously the party that was invaded, but the people not only didn't feel disgusted, but they still welcomed it.

Hong, on the other hand, originally thought of a soft invasion to weaken the threat, but in the end the threat was gone, and she was also trapped.

Today's foxes are indeed not hostile to her, because they have all become foxes who have some, um, unspeakable plans for her. She has gained territory and people, but the price is herself.

I don't know who makes more money.

If human beings can trust each other almost completely like the cat alliance, even if it is the most conservative estimate, there will be at least 2000 million tons of warships on the battlefield today. This is without taking into account the productivity gains brought about by the preceding factors.

Unfortunately, humans are still unable to do this.

The time has not come.

"The current winning rate on the battlefield...is basically stable at around 11.5%."

It was obviously the same data, but after going through the supercomputer model simulation, Hong got a winning rate that was very different from that of humans.

Due to the lack of data, and the fact that the real-time winning rate evaluation does not help the cooperative operation itself at all, the two of them did not know that there would be such a big difference in the winning rate prediction.

This is nearly twice the gap!

Moreover, this is based on the premise that their two civilizations have almost the same original data-and, what is certain is that this has nothing to do with strong AI or not.

Although the model of space warfare cannot be said to be simple, it is not very complicated. Compared with the complexity of the ground warfare environment, it can only be said to be a piece of cake. Even complex ground street battles, human staff groups + weak AI planning can be used. He was able to play with ease, and now he still has a certain degree of assistance from Crimson. It is impossible for such a big mistake to occur in a space where the environment is simpler and the information is bidirectionally transparent.

In fact, the most important part of their disagreement.

It is a missile.

Due to various reasons, before encountering the cat alliance and the extermination unit, the war between humans and Iron Heart was fought with almost no missiles involved. This led them to overestimate the effect of missiles, and they only regarded them as weapons for repairing enemy ships that lost their combat capabilities, which was similar to the ancient navy's lightning strike punishment.

Even worse, after all, torpedoes were an important part of ancient naval tactics, but in the modern space force, due to the rapid development of laser technology, a small number of missiles were directly killed like flies. Not to mention the excessive use of resources, it is difficult to say the effect.

Therefore, in the era of wars in the solar system, humans who lacked industry and supplies naturally gave up this technical route—not to mention, when they saw that Tie Xin also gave up this weapon, out of "even the strong AI thinks so" , that proves that our thinking is correct", the missile was completely sidelined in this way.

If you don’t pay attention to missile technology, the performance of the missile will be poor, and the tactics will also be backward. Compared with the increasingly powerful laser that has invested almost all resources, the effectiveness of the missile will be further reduced.

When people see that missiles are such rubbish, they naturally become firmer in their previous ideas, and pay less attention to technology and tactics, so the missiles are less effective, and this cycle goes on and on. If it is not for the supplementary space battleships, they must use nuclear bombs, forcing them to maintain a certain level. If the technology is updated, I am afraid that it will not just be "50 years behind" as it is now.

But after seeing the cat league's superb missile tactics, the missile technology that is at least two generations ahead of the technology (maximum speed is 60% ahead), and the excellent results achieved by these things, they immediately changed their previous thoughts—— Missiles are not useless, as long as the technology and tactics are sufficient, there is still a lot of effect.

Up to this point, human beings generally still have a clear understanding. Although there is still a lot of underestimation on the whole, they are indeed working hard to learn.

For organic civilizations, being able to realize their previous problems after seeing the homework handed over by other civilizations, and to change the part of their thinking that has been maintained for hundreds of years in a short period of time, already shows that they are not stubborn.

However, before they had time to "slowly transform" to complete, the extermination unit told them with a missile battle (the previous fortress raid operation).

It's time to pay your tuition.

After the main gun was added to the air defense, the missile attack pressure that could not be accepted, the tragedy of being directly hit by the nuclear bomb, directly reimbursed the entire warship, and the battle damage far exceeded expectations, all made humans realize that they were wrong before. How outrageous.

But a problem has arisen. At this time, they only know that missiles are useful, and interception nets are more useful, but they don't know how useful missiles are. The absence of missile research for hundreds of years has left them seriously lacking in tactical theory.

So, they began to overestimate missiles.

As a master of missile tactics, she has the deepest understanding of missiles, and she knows exactly what kind of results missiles can achieve under what circumstances. In this regard, even the unit 01 stole it from her.

Although the opponent has more missiles, it has the advantage of local production. It is all the wealth that the opponent has accumulated since killing Tiexin—after all, the extermination unit was almost beaten to death by the red missile. Only then did the importance of missiles be mentioned so high.

After all, the other party only paid the tuition fee to make up the class. Without time to accumulate, it is naturally impossible to understand better than the teacher Hong.

If the war did not start at the Fortress of Gibraltar, which was hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and Hong could not provide reinforcements, but at the Cat's Claw Fortress in front of Hong's house, she would even have a chance to let unit 01 see what a hundred thousand is. The missile crossed the river.

However, Hong made a mistake—she thought that after three years of painstaking research on missile tactics that she had sorted out, human beings should at least be able to catch up to [-]% in overall tactical understanding, not to mention the rapid advances in technology. .

This is not some kind of "forced AI does not understand human beings", because she has done such a thing once before, and this speculative data is also obtained by her based on the speed of understanding of the Jeffreys.

With her help, the Jeffreys have advanced their tactical understanding to almost the same level as hers in less than two years, and at the same time, their missile technology has also reached about [-]%.

Even without her direct counseling and explanations, three years would be enough just with the explanatory documents she presented—so she never thought that human beings would not fully accept her point of view because of "prejudice", but I researched a new system based on the documents.

Moreover, this is not due to the spies of unit 01, but the human beings themselves. Therefore, Crimson did not know about this in advance, and human beings did not trust her very much, and they were unwilling to disclose detailed combat data to her. With a few scattered words, she also subconsciously had the same idea as Hong.

In their view, with the large amount of air defense equipment that Crimson has hidden, and the cat alliance fleet consciously incorporates their weak interception firepower into their core air defense network in terms of formation layout, humans don't need so much Concerns about missile impact

However, humans don't think so.

Therefore, under the premise of overestimating the impact of missiles, humans have obtained such an estimate that is completely deviated from the real situation-and based on this, a complete set of combat plans has been formulated.

This undoubtedly brought additional variables to the battle situation.

for example...

"Why don't the intercepting firepower from the human side look at us at all?"

After almost destroying a nuclear bomb approaching 60 kilometers away from the vanguard battleship, Hong began to feel a little dissatisfied.
