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

It's a pity that this is destined to be just a delusion - judging from what they have learned, the power system of the Great Rupert Kingdom is actually quite "advanced" from a certain point of view.

At least, in terms of maintaining stability, exploding productivity, and expanding industry, the totalitarian system of the Great Rupert Country is to a large extent an advantage.

The strict hierarchical system, in the name of efficiency, extremely compresses the freedom of the people, and puts them under the rule of power in every aspect of life. This is certainly an unimaginable horror for them, but for the entire country In other words, this will make their country more stable and stronger.

What's more, it's unstoppable.

Of course, although the first meeting between the two parties did not end very happily, the totalitarian system of the Great Rupert State made them feel very uncomfortable, and the many signs shown by Pan Asia in the previous exchanges also made the Great Rupert State feel very uncomfortable. Vigilance was generated, and the information exchange between the two sides began to be deliberately controlled to prevent it from being polluted by the stupid and short-sighted thoughts of alien civilizations.

As a great country that has stood in this galaxy for more than a thousand years, the reason why they have been able to defeat those stupid aliens time and time again is to beat them to the ground with their advanced thoughts and their fleets. , relying on nothing else but their firm and unshakable collective consciousness.

Only when their entire country is united and follow the guidance of the great leader without hesitation, can the Rupers be able to put those disgusting bugs, stupid civilizations brainwashed in the name of freedom, and those inside who want to split the Great Rupers Kingdom, the loathsome internal enemy that destroyed their thousand-year-old empire was defeated one by one, so that the great Lupus family could stand forever in this galaxy.

Freedom is just poison.

Authority is eternal.

The Great Rupert Kingdom is eternal.

Volume 243 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] What does it mean to make a miracle with great strength?

Research on the Great Rupert has stalled.

Due to the other party's conscious information control, Panya was unable to obtain any useful information from these tight-lipped officials of the Great Rupert Kingdom-this is largely due to the Rupers language. With the help of this artificial language, Many meanings that are not expected to be seen by the Great Rupert Country will not appear at all.

For example, the word "freedom" in this language can only express a meaning of "nothing", while meanings such as "freedom of thought" and "freedom of speech" cannot be expressed at all, because freedom of thought, Words such as freedom of speech do not exist in terms of definition and concept.

All of these words are completely covered by a word called "thought crime".

The Great Rupert Country doesn't like people who have thoughts and remarks that are inconsistent with the country. In order to ensure that everyone can be loyal to "unity" under the flag of the Great Rupert Country, and don't have any thoughts that they don't want to see, they start from the source Truncated the soil from which "opinions" were produced.

This soil is language.

After a long reign that lasted about a thousand earth years, the people of the Great Rupus have completely and completely severed all ties with the ideas of the old world, when one cannot even think about these things in words Naturally, they cannot clearly express the meaning they want to express in language.

For those who occupy the vast majority of civilization, have been completely assimilated, and do not think that there is any problem with the system of the Great Rupert Country. From the perspective of people who love leaders from the bottom of their hearts, this is excellent-after all, they There is no possibility of even realizing that there is such a problem.

This is actually very reasonable. After all, even if the totalitarian rule of this civilization makes one feel uncomfortable, they have to admit that since they have been able to run a totalitarian state stably for nearly a thousand years without being overthrown, it proves that at least In the eyes of their current public, there is no problem in doing so.

No matter how many methods they use to control the people's thoughts and freedom, and what methods they use to make the people feel from their hearts that what the Great Rupert Country is doing is correct, at least from the final result, what they did very successful.

The only good thing is that, judging from the current information, compared with the Oceania described in the famous dystopian novel, this Great Rupert Country is not so extreme and bewitched, and can barely communicate with it .

Even if they have to try their best to analyze the meaning of the official words spoken by the other party's senior officials, this is "good news" - what they fear most is that the other party will directly label them as alien evil forces, and label them as an alien force to increase domestic power. A cohesive target while denying any normal communication.

From the current point of view, although the other party is very wary of them, they have no plans to do so for the time being.

"The fleet of the Great Rupert Kingdom is expected to arrive in the orbit of this planet in 20 days, and no new fleets have been observed yet."

"Because the two sides are still able to communicate peacefully, due to diplomatic considerations, we cannot launch probes to find out the situation in their territory-this means that we still have nothing to do with their galaxy system and military industrial strength. Know."

Officials in charge of negotiating with the Greater Rupert State stood in front of the electronic screen and explained the current situation to other senior officials at the conference table.

"Under the other party's information control, most of our communication with the other party can only get almost the same answer, and we don't disclose any valuable information except for repeating their regulations, and we can no longer get information about this from them. More information from the government, research has stalled."

At present, human beings' understanding of this Great Rupert Country, except that they have a supreme and always correct leader, and some directly exposed characteristics of this totalitarian government, the rest is basically guesswork.

For example, the other party never said that they were "XXX of the Great Rupert Country" in the communication, let alone express any personal opinions, but never said "what the Great Rupert Country thinks", "the leader's guidance how how".

This is indeed a strong hint of the totalitarian trend of thought in the Great Rupert Kingdom, but it cannot be fully concluded.

Before a real and thorough study of the Great Rupert Country is completed and the whole picture of this society is seen with my own eyes, many things can only be used as inferences rather than conclusive conclusions—maybe, maybe this Great Rupert Country has no Is it as totalitarian as they imagined?

Although everyone thinks that this possibility is very small, after all, just this language, which was designed to control thoughts, has already revealed the elements of the Great Rupert Kingdom, but maybe it is.

After all, they are just peeping through the pipe right now, and everything is not yet conclusive—and before a definite conclusion is drawn, it is human nature to imagine that things will develop in a good direction.

"However, compared to the stagnation of the research on the interior of its civilization, the research on the opponent's warship is progressing smoothly." He waved his hand and switched the screen to the part about the warship, "After Academician Huo and his research With the help of the team, we finally knew why the opponent's warship made such a strange appearance, why this Akachi swarm, and the civilization called "Riga Swarm" by the Great Rupert all adopted that A special armor configuration mode."

He paused, and said, "The main gun of these warships of the Great Rupo Kingdom is a plasma cannon."

Yes, after a period of research and demonstration, combined with their analysis of the wreckage of the two nearby swarm fleets, the scientists finally came to such a conclusion.

At first, they also thought that the Great Rupert Kingdom, like the Akachi Swarm, also adopted the technical route of electromagnetic guns--I have to say, the electromagnetic gun technology of this Akachi Swarm is really good, even looking for cats After looking at the League, Hong also thought that the opponent's electromagnetic gun technology was much better than that of the Cat League.

Although after the analysis, both the Cat League and humans believe that although their high-speed electromagnetic shaft guns are very powerful, their combat effectiveness is still inferior to their free electron laser main gun + low-speed electromagnetic gun turret.

But this phenomenon proves that their ideas are correct.

Even if the theoretical effect is poor, as long as enough resources are invested in this route, and they can develop a good combat power if they focus on this route to the dark—thus, they must be prepared for these possible encounters. Yes, the technology tree points to the civilization of other routes to make preparations.

For example, in this batch of foreign trade warships, humans specifically asked Hong to strengthen the defense against kinetic energy weapons in order to deal with the electromagnetic guns that Akachi swarms may deploy in large quantities. Hong also agreed with this.

It's always good to have extra preparations—anyway, people have a lot of money, and the money is in place, so what design can't be changed?

Facts have proved that their preparations are correct. This Akachi swarm not only has a large number of electromagnetic guns installed, but the degree is even stronger than they imagined.

These bugs are simply fanatics of electromagnetic guns. Almost all of their technology trees are focused on large electromagnetic guns, thus developing ultra-high-speed electromagnetic guns capable of hitting 300 kilometers per second. But on lasers, their Technology is no better than humans in the 22nd century. The range of the laser secondary gun is only [-] kilometers. It is obviously only an auxiliary weapon used to intercept shells and missiles. It is not expected to participate in the frontal battle of the fleet at all.

As for the large free electron laser main guns used by these civilizations uniformly?

It doesn't exist at all.

Of course, with such a powerful superconducting magnet technology, it is definitely impossible to say that they cannot make a free electron laser. The technology of the cannon is already so high that the newly born free electron laser cannot compete with it.

However, the two routes need to consume extremely terrifying massive resources, so when there is no clear evidence that the prospect of this route is much greater, naturally no one will cut off more than half of the electromagnetic gun resources to invest in the free electron laser. Make-up lessons, not to mention that in the war years, even if there is clear evidence, unless the performance gap between the two weapons is really huge, otherwise the decision-makers will not choose to make up lessons.

When the technological gap between the two weapons is so large that it will take decades just to make up lessons, at the same time it will cost a huge amount of money, and at the same time squeeze out the development capabilities of the original weapons, even if it is time to discover its prospects , and it has long been hard to get back, and it is difficult to change.

But in recent research, they found that although the Akachi swarm's electromagnetic gun technology is very strong, the armor is also frantically targeting kinetic energy, and one pair of opponents is also an electromagnetic gun fanatic.

However, after coming to this galaxy, research on the wreckage of both sides showed that their opponent, that is, the Riga swarm, although its main weapon also contained a large number of electromagnetic guns, it was also very insensitive to lasers. On top of that, they have a brand new weapon type that none of them have done seriously.

plasma cannon.

Therefore, when the scholars discovered that the bows of the battleships of the Great Rupert Kingdom had many similarities with the plasma main guns of the Riga Swarm battleships, they finally determined that the Great Rupert Kingdom was a warship on the plasma cannon route. On a road to the black civilization.

The killing-type Akachi swarm crazily shoots electromagnetic cannons, and the hostile Akachi Great Rupert crazily shoots plasma cannons, while the Riga swarm in the middle has two paths facing each other, and the number of the two weapons is five to five. Open and highlight a right and left.

In addition, although the Great Rupert Kingdom has a dislike for the Riga swarm and regards them as "disgusting bugs" that are no different from the Akachi swarm, humans have come to a conclusion from their few words.

This Riga swarm is not an extinct civilization, but a full-gestalt one, that is, a classic common bee colony controlled by a mastermind and assisted by a small number of semi-autonomous individuals.

As a backward civilization, they are very actively trying to absorb external knowledge, including the composition of the half-open fleet, which is the result of their study of these two civilizations.

Although from this point of view, the Riga swarm does not seem to have a bright mind, not to mention the poor scientific research, and it has to be equally divided and promoted together. In the end, neither side can figure it out, which is beyond their control.

But how should I put it, no matter how poor the brain is, it is still a normal civilization that can communicate normally-this is already great news.

Also, it's very interesting that this plasma cannon works in a very special way... powerfully works miracles.

"According to research, the working method of this plasma cannon is to place a 200-gram aluminum projectile in the cannon cavity, and then connect the fusion reactor and the cannon cavity, so that its energy flows into the cannon cavity, and the projectile Instantly heated to tens of millions of degrees to turn into plasma, and propelled along the gun barrel under the huge energy of fusion, so as to reach a speed of more than one thousand kilometers per second..."

Looking at the report above, the expressions of everyone present were a little stunned.

What does it mean to perform miracles vigorously?

This is called vigorously producing miracles!

The super-powerful lasers, miniaturization, stability and other problems required by normal plasma cannons all don't exist-because they don't use so many fancy cutting-edge technologies at all!

What they did was to build a very strong battleship, then build an ultra-thick gun cavity, fill it with a strong magnetic field, put a piece of metal, and then connect the gun cavity directly to the fusion reactor.

Not enough range?

Power up!

Not enough materials?

Thicken it!

Not powerful enough?

Add weight!

As long as you pile up enough materials, this plasma cannon can exert extremely terrifying power—for this reason, the opponent specially used a special fusion reactor called a magnetized target.

This is a special fusion reactor that relies on the spin of liquid metal to form a cavity, injects fusion fuel into it, and then relies on a large number of pistons on the shell to impact the liquid metal at the same time to form a super shock wave, thereby compressing the plasma to meet fusion requirements. .

A reactor that uses pistons to carry out fusion sounds very punk, but it is actually feasible, and people have tried to build its prototype as early as the 21st century.

The main advantage of this kind of fusion reactor is that it is easy to be small in size and has a very strong instantaneous power density. The disadvantage is that the power generation capacity is poor and the robustness of the system is relatively poor. Therefore, for the main use of lasers, it is necessary to pursue long-term steady-state power generation For civilizations such as the Cat League and humans, this thing can only be used as a technical reserve.

However, for this plasma cannon, there are no large power consumers except the magnetic field, so there is no need to worry about poor power generation capacity, and the extremely strong instantaneous power density just fits the characteristics of the instantaneous power required by the plasma cannon.

A simple estimate, if the aluminum projectile is 200 grams, and the speed is calculated as 2000 kilometers per second, then the kinetic energy of this plasma is 400 gigajoules. In theory, the instantaneous power of the reactor needs to reach at least 1600 gigawatts, which is 1.6 terawatts. .

This is still the minimum requirement, and the actual consumption will definitely be much higher. Therefore, it can be said that in order to launch this plasma cannon, they need to let the reactor output one-tenth of the power of the entire human civilization in the early 21st century at the moment of launch.

Although this is not impossible for magnetic confinement fusion reactors, at least for their current level of fusion reactors, it is very difficult. Take into account that exporting a large amount of fusion plasma may destabilize the reactor and the like.

But for this powerful piston fusion reactor, everything is so easy.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. According to their analysis, the range of this weapon is bound to be not long, maybe only [-] kilometers, or even only a few thousand kilometers. After all, the spread of plasma is very serious, basically pure Rely on speed to try to hit the opponent before the spread is too low.

Although the particle cannon also has this problem, but compared with this plasma cannon with a speed of more than 1000 kilometers per second, the particle cannon can easily run to more than 90.00% of the speed of light, and the electrons can easily run to 99.99... A speed of 9% or so, relying on the clock slow effect can top off a large part of the diffusion.

Therefore, the range of this plasma is bound to be short, even with the blessing of this super strong magnetic field technology.

However, on the contrary, this plasma cannon is also very powerful. Once it hits, its super high kinetic energy and thermal energy will penetrate the armor of the battleship like a hot knife cutting butter.

Compared with electromagnetic cannons with similar effects, this plasma cannon can easily reach a speed of one or two thousand kilometers per second due to the way it operates, and it only takes a few seconds to cross the entire range, so the hit rate is very impressive .

When seeing this crude weapon, most people have only one first reaction.

What does it mean to perform miracles vigorously?

This is Dali!

Volume IV Industry and Power: Chapter 244 Good Night, Lupers (3/31)

After more than ten days of waiting, finally, this Lupus fleet arrived at the orbit where the wormhole is located.

Although the two civilizations are not very pleasing to each other, humans are disgusted with their totalitarian thoughts, and the Lupers are full of vigilance against humans, a heterogeneous species that is not their own, but after all, the appearances of the two sides are really similar. The addition of aesthetics, it is not a problem to sit down and talk about it for a while.

Of course, the most important reason is that they are confused about these weird creatures with no ears on their heads and no tails behind them-even though their totalitarianism prevails, their ideas about politics, freedom, revolution, etc. are suppressed and fooled People, but as an interstellar civilization, they are certainly not all idiots.

At least, among the middle class of civilization and those involved in scientific research, many people still have a relatively clear thinking ability.

A novel is a novel after all, and some elements are often exaggerated in order to highlight them, resulting in something that looks very magical.

However, in real totalitarian countries, they often do not do such thankless things-for this kind of country, their ultimate goal is to maintain the long-term rule of their own regime, so that their supreme power can last forever. continue.

Therefore, under the guidance of this idea, it is very reasonable to fool the people and make them not think about things other than survival, reproduction and work as much as possible.

However, for those mid-level and low-level people who need to implement the leader's decision, especially those scientific and technological workers who need to conduct scientific research to fight against alien civilizations, practicing ignorance is undoubtedly digging their own graves-they need to let Science serves power, but it does not block the development of science.

They used to do the same, but the result...

Even the totalitarian Great Rupert Kingdom that pursues this way has to give up this idea, and choose to let these people retain some necessary "rationality", which is enough to see how serious the consequences of doing so are.

Again, they pursue power in order to make the world act according to their own wishes. What they want is to enjoy this supreme power, not to play it to pieces.

What they want is the ultimate "stability".

Therefore, before finding out the specific situation of these tailless races, the specific performance of their weird battleship configuration, and the military power they possess, the Great Rupert Kingdom will not choose to act rashly.

After all, in this star field, there are still many alien civilizations and traitors who try to destroy their great country, and they are the forces that are more likely to threaten the rule of the Great Rupert Government.

In contrast, although these battleships are very small, but the strange configuration and unknown capabilities, and the humans who have not shown any obvious aggressiveness so far, their rankings have to be placed in the back row.

What they need is a stable and powerful opponent who can be defeated at the same time.

In this way, they can ensure that they can send a suitable number of fleets to fight the enemy, and ensure that they can not only promote external hatred internally, arouse national cohesion, and increase collective stability, but they will not really do things, such as accidentally completely defeating the opponent Or get hit back or something.

Yes, victory but not complete victory is a principle of the Great Rupert Kingdom's foreign wars. Unless the leaders think that this civilization must be wiped out immediately, they will always maintain this state of pulling and pulling, so that the war will be infinite continue.

Totalitarian governments hate variables and like stability - therefore, a stable war that helps guide the people's attention is of course what they like, and it can even be said that it is necessary.

Since the day when the Great Rupert Kingdom was born on Ruperstein, they have never stopped fighting - at that time they hadn't seen aliens, and there were no hateful bugs to be the object of hatred for the entire country , but it doesn't matter, they can also wage war with other totalitarian countries.

Since then, they have understood how important a stable war is to the stability of the Great Rupert Country—even if it is subtle thought control, it will be difficult to prevent those who are not clear-headed from committing thought crimes. To think about something unforgivable.

Especially those middle-level people, those middle-level people who have neither become the ruling class of the country to gain real power, nor can they be completely fooled because of the needs of the country, are the high-incidence areas of thought crimes. 5% of the country's population commits more than 80% of thought crimes, and is the most destructive group to the entire Greater Rupert Country.

Because they can think—of course, for the vast majority of people, this kind of thinking is within the framework of the Great Rupert State, and some thinking that the government wants to see, but obviously, as long as there are enough people thinking, there will always be some People who are not firm enough in their thinking begin to think of some sinful ideas that discredit the leaders, discredit the government, and discredit the entire Great Rupert Country.

There are two ways for the Great Rupert Country to finally solve this problem. The first is to promote Newspeak, using this artificial language to wipe out most of the thought crimes in the soil, and the second is to carry out a A constant war.
