Luo Xiaochen's so-called technical habits of the Akuberi interstellar era refer to the general technical specifications for 'exciting' space 'waves' to achieve faster-than-light effects and interstellar navigation.

To understand this, it is necessary to start with the technical principles of the Akuberi engine. Although at the end of the twentieth century, the Mexican professor Miguel of the Earth Age? Professor Akuberi proposed the use of space 'waves' to achieve the purpose of faster-than-light interstellar travel, but after the "light of Jupiter" in the 24th century became dangerous, the practical "faster-than-light engine" - Akuberi was respected.

It uses two sets of positive hydrogen and anti-hydrogen particle ejectors like the particle cannon to eject hydrogen and antihydrogen particle beams of a certain mass and speed close to the speed of light, resulting in the instantaneous release of all energy due to annihilation, thereby compressing the curvature of space and forming space 'waves'. Hydrogen is easy to solve, but anti-hydrogen is produced by a high-speed particle collision system. Although the spread of superconducting technology and new materials has made this manufacturing system cheaper and easier to biological, it has developed a rather restrictive 'specification' for the use of the technology.

High-speed particle collision systems used to create anti-hydrogen require continuous operation to maintain adequate production efficiency. As a result, the most restrictive specification for the use of technology is that once a collision system is operational, it usually requires continuous use for a period of time. This required time in turn made it necessary to use the Accuberi engine for faster-than-light interstellar navigation, and to 'excite' space 'waves' after the 'waves' were 'excited', forming a "general technical specification" for interstellar navigation.

This specification has a series of specific time parameters as a standard, corresponding to the Akuberi velocity, which measures the equivalent speed of the speed of light. Akuberi velocity level zero, that is, the standard speed of Akuberi, is equivalent (equivalent to) 150,000 kilometers per second - this speed is also the highest reaction propulsion speed of the interstellar vehicle, corresponding to zero seconds; The Akuberi velocity is one level, equivalent to 1.5 million kilometers per second, corresponding to 1.5 seconds; Level 2, equivalent to fifteen million kilometers per second, corresponding to 15 seconds......

It is evident that these corresponding time parameters are the same as the equivalent speed of light of the Akberi level, with the latter natural number level being ten times that of the previous natural number. In practice, it is required that those who enter the corresponding Akuberi velocity must also maintain the corresponding faster-than-light time. For example, a faster-than-light flight at the Akuberi speed level, which operates on a scale, requires a duration of at least 15 seconds.

Of course, it is impossible to be static in reality, especially the higher the speed level of Akuberi, the less it can meet this requirement. Therefore, there are additional rules for the General Technical Specification. Taking the first level of Akuberi speed as an example, for longer flight distances, the faster-than-light flight time is required to be a natural multiple of 15 seconds. Correspondingly, shorter distances do not meet the required time, or because of problems with the distribution of matter in space (e.g., through the vicinity of high-quality objects such as stars with strong gravitational pull) that must be changed to the speed of light, the time standard must be reduced by ten (but the minimum time must also be a natural number of times, such as fifteen seconds, not as long as 1.5 seconds).

For example, if you travel from Africa to Iserlohn for 3,000 light-years and travel at a speed of 7 (5 million times the speed of light), the standard time is 1.5 million seconds. However, with the current state of technology, any Akuberi engine cannot continue to operate for 1.5 million seconds (nearly 418 hours), and the actual distribution of matter between the two planets is not balanced, and it is impossible to carry out such a flight in one device. Even if it could be done, by the time the spacecraft changed to the speed of light, it would have already exceeded its destination far beyond its destination.

So only standard time can be split. Depending on the situation of the two routes and the state of the spacecraft itself, the unmanned notification ship usually reduces the standard time of Akuberi speed 7 to 10,000 times, only 150 seconds. Under normal circumstances, it would perform space 'waves' equivalent to five million times the speed of light each time, with a flight time of two and a half minutes. For the entire 3,000 light-year voyage, it will perform as many as 120 such faster-than-light flights, but because the spacecraft must be overhauled during this time, it will still take 24 hours to travel such a long distance for an unmanned spacecraft that can fly up to the speed of 7 in Akuberi.

Although this so-called general technical specification has a binding 'nature', it is only from the perspective of maintaining the efficiency and life of the machine, that is, flying according to this standard can ensure the energy efficiency of the spacecraft and the stable operation of the machine to the greatest extent. It is often overlooked by some people who travel to and from the sea of stars for adventures and wars.

Just like Jiang Ziyue, the commander of the Imperial Army that the Bundeswehr expeditionary fleet is now facing, is a typical person who does not comply with the general technical specifications of interstellar navigation. Whether it is the "space storm tactic" he came up with, which uses the Akuberi engine at low speed to trigger a space 'wave', or the flight method used to carry out the "faster-than-light interception" tactic, it no longer adheres to the general technical specifications.

According to the general technical specifications, every time the Imperial Army enters the faster-than-light speed to escape the pursuit, it must fly according to the standard time corresponding to the speed level of the Akuberi that enters. For example, when Jiang Ziyue led 800 cruisers to escape for the first time, all the cruisers sailed for 25 minutes in the Akuberi 4th class, which happened to be the standard of 1,500 seconds corresponding to this speed level in the general technical specifications.

"It is precisely because of this general technical specification that we can be clearer and more definite about the enemy's movement of escape."

Luo Xiaochen made an evaluation.

"But now, the enemy doesn't follow the rules of the game. In the chase when our first battleships were missing, they sailed only seven hundred and fifty seconds at the Akuberi speed of the fourth level. The standard time was reduced by one-half, not by ten. They flew only half the distance before changing to the speed of light and arranging the interception array. ”

"This will make their Akuberi engine scrapped sooner." Hui is acutely aware of the cost of not following the rules.

"Maybe they don't care about the cost, maybe they think it's worth it."

Luo Xiaochen said calmly. He understands the psychology of the enemy and often defends the homeland without reservation, at any cost. "Maybe their commander has realized that their Akuberi engines have not been scrapped in advance, and they have been destroyed by us along with them."

"In this way, they intercepted us precisely by using our psychology that we thought they were complying with the general technical specifications. However, our warships are all in space 'waves', and the equivalent speed is thousands or even tens of thousands of times the speed of light, and it is impossible for their warships to detect and lock on to us in a timely and effective manner. ”

Xu Hongzhao said suspiciously. His words were not unreasonable, the Federation forces always pursued at the speed of Akuberi at five or even six levels, and by the time the Imperial cruisers spotted them on the way, they were afraid that they had already swept over the Imperial army by a hundred or even a thousand astronomical units.

Luo Xiaochen explained while playing the three-dimensional imaging schematic animation he made: "We spread out the formation, and the ships entered the superluminal speed. On the whole, our fleet is still advancing in a huge circular formation, and the trajectory of our entire fleet forms a very large cylinder. The enemy does not need to make too complicated calculations, as long as a reconnaissance and alert network is deployed in the space where our 'cylinder' is about to pass, and after discovering that our warship has penetrated, it will be possible to immediately learn the course and speed of our warship through the unmanned reconnaissance ship and the notification ship. Then, according to the calculation of these parameters, the appropriate formation is arranged, and the direction and time of the 'shooting' are determined. There is a very appropriate, but I think it is a very vivid analogy to describe this kind of interception of enemy forces, 'interstellar mines'. ”

"'Interstellar mines'?" Xu Hongzhao had a wry smile on his face.

In reality, there is no such thing as an "interstellar mine" that lacks sufficient tactical significance, but the Imperial Army's cruiser fleet does serve as an "interstellar mine" as some weapons experts envision. They pre-position themselves on the route their opponents are about to pass through, and then attack and blast them out like mines. The difference is that they did not stay in one place, but used themselves as 'decoy' bait to mobilize their opponents to come and "hit mines".

So General Xu Hongzhao felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to be led by the enemy here by the nose of his own Ming I, and he didn't know it.

"But it's a bit unbelievable that those 800 cruisers alone can destroy more than 300 of our battleships." Hadrian? Lieutenant General Ed 'Mon' Sen said, a look of suspicion on his white face.

Luo Xiaochen immediately responded: "Judging from the number of battleships we have lost and the number of pursuit flights we have made, the loss of more than 300 battleships is not caused by the enemy's 'sex' at one time. The enemy gradually weakens us through our helplessness and negligence. Our battleships are massive, and when traveling faster than light, they have to pull up to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. They only need to concentrate on attacking one of our battleships with about fifteen cruisers, and they can destroy us with three or five rounds of 'shooting'. With their numbers, repeating this for ten rounds, our losses have accumulated to more than three hundred ships. ”

"I really didn't expect it, the enemy has such a new tactic, it's really a bit unguardable."

Xu Hongzhao sighed, and there was still some sincere admiration in the old man's tone.

"Lieutenant Luo, do you have any plans for dealing with it?" Ed 'Mon' Sen asked hurriedly.

But Luo Xiaochen said: "It's useless. ”

In fact, when the opponent completely completed the first round of faster-than-light interception, the expeditionary fleet changed to faster-than-light speed in the predetermined space, and as the commander of the flagship of the Second Fleet, he learned from high-level communication information that more than 30 battleships had not kept up, and he immediately realized the opponent's intentions and methods. However, since the previous idea was rejected by Lieutenant General Ed 'Mon'sen' and there was also a lack of sufficient evidence, he did not bring it up immediately.

"Is it useless?" Xu Hongzhao asked suspiciously.
