After a brief exchange, Captain Pickard returned to his ship. He and Ian agreed to conduct a brief confrontation exercise with Ian's Enterprise in the orbit of Jupiter in the solar system. Captain Pickard will demonstrate the capabilities of the Federation's top dish ships.

So two hours later, Jupiter orbited.

"Captain Pickard, it's time to fire."

Captain Picard nodded.

"All frontal phase guns, aiming at the following coordinates, fire."

Eight red beams of light slammed into the shield above the Cassari-class ship's hull. After a brief recharge, eight more beams smashed up.

"The shield load is at 34% and is being recharged." K2's voice is still emotionless.

"The quantum torpedo was launched." Captain Pickard spoke to Ian. Then the quantum torpedo tube in the middle of the Enterprise hull fired four quantum torpedoes,

The torpedo's practical photon thruster shone with a dazzling white light and was simply the brightest star in the night sky.

The quantum torpedo passed through the deflection shield against energy attacks and smashed headlong onto the particle shield on the surface of the ship's hull.

The particle shield resisted the explosion of three quantum torpedoes, then the shield collapsed and the fourth torpedo exploded on the surface of the ship. The instantly reactivated particle shield enclosed the energy of the explosion on the surface of the ship.

A huge explosion blew up a crater with a radius of more than 600 meters and a depth of 15 meters in the hull armor.

"That's really ......," Ian chuckled as he watched the explosion enhanced by his shield. It should be said that the hull armor has been increased to 30 meters...... Otherwise, it will explode inside the hull, and it is estimated that the hull will be blown away by one-sixth.

"Looks like there's something wrong with your shield setup." Piccard looked at the lake of molten metal that had been blown out of the surface of the massive Enterprise's hull.

"That's right, something went wrong with the settings. The Shield Recharger is too high. Ian rubbed his eyes, flashed by the flash, and it hurt a little. Now that you have a general idea of the power of your weapons, I'd like to see what your ship's point defense capabilities are. I will launch a training warless torpedo. ”

"Please, first mate, interception mode." Picard glanced back at the first mate in the weapons operator's seat.

Then in five seconds, the Hunter-class Enterprise fired thousands of high-speed torpedoes without warheads. From all directions, it bombarded the head of state-level enterprises.

The Enterprise's sixteen phase guns switched to low-output mode, firing low-power subatomic beams at high speed like a phalanx.

In less than ten seconds, thousands of high-speed torpedoes were all intercepted.

In those ten seconds, the Enterprise briefly turned into an orange-red sea urchin due to visual residues, and in the optical camera, each phase array sprayed subatomic beams of sub-light speed at a rate of more than ten rounds per second.

"I understand why you don't have carrier-based aircraft...... Ian choked up speechlessly, the main gun air defense is not afraid, the rate of fire is six hundred rounds per minute, and the armor-piercing blast is completed in an instant. Spraying aluminum with carrier-based aircraft will be sprayed to death. "Besides, you just claimed that this is a research ship, right?"

"That's right, the Enterprise is the most advanced research ship in the Federation, although in many racial classifications, she is a cruiser."

"Do you think a large starship that calls itself a scientific research ship carries enough firepower to destroy a planet, will it be a little hypocritical?"

"The Federation is now surrounded by strong enemies...... Well, these ships will also take care of some peacekeeping and confrontation tasks. ”

"Communication? Whose? Ian saw that the ship's communicator suddenly received a communication.

"Do you have any connection to the Interstellar Federation?" Appearing on the screen is Queen Borg. "Help me ask if the USS Voyager is their ship."

"Did you hear that?" Ian raised an eyebrow and looked at Captain Pickard's communications window.

"USS Voyager, disappeared three years ago during the exploration of outer space. Do any of your friends have been exposed to the ship recently? Piccard frowned as he looked at the information that the cyborg crew DETA had brought up for him.

"What a pathetic organism memory, Lochuta. It's only been so much time and you can't even remember my voice?! ”

After a brief moment of confusion, Piccard leaked a shocked expression. "I'll never forget your voice!"

No, man, you've forgotten about it, but you just remembered it...... And her body just appeared in front of your eyes today......

"Where is that ship now? How are they doing? 'Piccard took two steps forward and looked a little agitated.

"That ship has wrecked sixteen tactical Borg cubes and two basic Borg cubes in the last two years." Queen Borg's expression was a little odd. "I'm checking the Borg data for that area right now, and the Borg style isn't quite right."

？？？？？

Piccard and Ian were dumbfounded.

"The Borg, unstoppable, conquer everything, assimilate everything. No matter which civilization regards the Borgs as a natural disaster. That's right. ”

The captains of the two Enterprises looked at each other and nodded, this kind of fear can also assimilate other creatures, the key is the amazing race of fighters that are still strong, and the natural disasters are proper.

"But, if I'm not mistaken, the Borg are kind of a funny character when it comes to the Voyager." Queen Borg's expression was even more eccentric. "The Voyager is on a rampage in the Delta quadrant, and has so far encountered 11 hostile civilizations and 21 neutrals, in my opinion, the Borg are the easiest to solve, a few light torpedoes can destroy a Borg block, and I even freed a Borg to become the crew of that ship, and she gave herself the name Nine and Seven."

Queen Borg pursed her lips. "It's a strange name, and I didn't erase her memory. Now they have overthrown nine of these civilizations and are in the process of killing the eleventh. Believe me, they're very lively. ”

"When will they be back?" Pickard took the opportunity to ask.

"I'm afraid they won't be back for a while, Lochuta." Queen Borg's expression was even stranger. "We made a deal and they helped us fight off Race 8472. We'll send them back. ”

"The Borgs and the Federation Starship made a deal?!" Piccard felt fooled.

"We are being exterminated." Queen Borg said very formally. "In just three months, Race 8472, which rushed out of the liquid universe, has destroyed more than one and a half million Borg cubes. We couldn't adapt to their technology, but with the help of the Voyager, our war was at a stalemate. And, I believe, with their help, we can drive Race 8472 back into their space. ”
