Japan: A New Age

Shunhei is also coming with Morishita to the headquarters building of the Earth Defense Forces at Makihara Space Harbor on Earth. I'm not very big on it, but I'm also bringing in Shinichi Sakayama. Chap. I am not a lad in front of the gate while I was taken in Shunping, but I took Catalysist 1st grade by showing my ability quite well at the seminar.

Originally brains are excellent, to have flexible thoughts, or sharp in the sense of ideas, but his challenge is that he lacks foundation, so smoothly he is given homework and mourned by the mountains. This time, too, he said, "I have homework! It's what I've been forced to pull screaming at." Incidentally, what came aboard was a new and newly assigned new Muradoo mould.

This time, Junpei came to Earth for the primary purpose that it would be better to keep the Earth Defense Forces involved when he went to investigate the system of giant planets who came into contact with the Armals, but further for the appointment of the Director of the Earth Defense Forces Central Laboratory. In the end, the Earth Defense Forces invited Shunping to head the Earth Defense Forces Central Laboratory. However, we prepared a smaller building, but for now we paid the necessary expenses to say that this year's budgetary measures are still in place and will be set up next year, because we cannot wait for Shunping.

Is that okay, defense forces!

There is a meeting in the defense forces called the Human Area Defense Conference.

Whatever you say, there is no hand in not doing it because there is Major General Shinmoyama Morishima and the Self-Defense Army, who have experienced First Contact, and Junhei. Of course, all the members who were the commanders of the defence forces, vice-commanders or less, are present.

At the beginning, opinions were asked in a smooth manner, such as how easy it was once to destroy the X fleet (this story has come out, and there are X fleet formations and soot theories out there).

"Yes, it's easy to destroy the X Fleet, but at the same time, if today's X Fleet raids, our planet, Earth and New America are impossible to defend in our current equipment and training."

"Yes! Such an idiot! ♪ Everybody screams.

"Well think about it. Impact of an object with sublight velocity, whatever this is a few kg of stuff, it breaks through any wall when it comes to a few tons. Preventing this is not what kind of barrier you can bring at the moment.

Therefore, when the X fleet arrives, perhaps most ships will be able to be destroyed. But you won't be able to stop a submarine-speed enemy ship from advancing in an attempt to self-destruct.

Also, there is no evidence that the X race will not carry out suicide bombings. "

I see, I have to convince myself of this logic. "But then doesn't that mean that the enemy will always lose if they find their home planet first?" Defense Force Commander U.S. Admiral Alan Gilbany says. "In addition, we were told that Earth and New America are impossible to protect, but what is the New Yakuza?

"Yes, it is absolutely advantageous, as they say, to decide to find and destroy their mother planet first. Also, if Shin-Yama is our assumption right, we can basically protect it.

Because Shunhei Yoshikawa, the director of this central laboratory, worked with the artificial intelligence rana to develop methods that could be protected even in such situations, and installed the equipment already needed in the new defense forces, and also provided the necessary training. This point is left to the Earth Defense Forces as well, since Shunhei Yoshikawa has assumed the position of Director of the Central Institute. The equipment has been prepared, and Commander Morisha will explain the system, training procedures, etc.

What do you say, you're glad I'm the director of the central institute, "he says.

Morishita stood up with a bitter smile and let Chaichi Nagawa manipulate a pre-prepared projector. Hi Shunping is the director of the Defense Forces Central Laboratory, and he tends to show off his tea.

"Check this out. This is a conceptual diagram of the defense system.

In the end, this system was conceived from the fact that there is no way to prevent the impact of motion energy on heavy objects at sublight speeds, the main point being "operations you don't have to hit”. That is, keep them away from me and destroy them first.

As a result of the analysis of the combat record of the tragedy on the planet Armal, the gravitational engine naturally operates and is considered to be quite skilled in its operation, regarding the technology of the X fleet. To that end, we give speeds up to roughly twice the speed of light beyond what is theoretically the highest speed of gravity engines, but we still can't get that far with gravity engines only. In addition, it is natural that we should be able to develop our FR machines.

On the other hand, however, it is assumed that they have not been able to achieve superlight speed due to the manipulation of the time field that we are achieving.

I am therefore judging it almost certain that Director Yoshikawa (emphasising) said earlier that sublight velocity kinetic energy is used as a weapon, or can be done.

So why didn't you use it to destroy the Armal star?

This, for one thing, was originally aimed at the genocide, and I can imagine that you deliberately used a so-called dirty bomb that would remain radioactive for the rest. Attacks using sub-light speeds, on the other hand, are not that easy, to cite as a reason. That is, to utilize the sublight speed, you need to accelerate your hull to the sublight speed, isolate the heavy object so that it hits the target accurately while advancing to the target, and you need to exercise off target.

In that sense, suicide bombing is the easiest way.

Also possible are missiles that accelerate to sub-light speeds loaded with gravity engines. However, even if we can produce rail gun-like speeds in the mutter-like sizes equipped with the gravitational engines we operate on a daily basis, reaching sublight speeds will require at least the size of the Odora mould today. Before the system that I now intend to explain was developed, the Japanese defense forces had once and for all completed the system of approaching the target and hitting the missile at the sublight speed I had already described. This has already been introduced to each ship of the Earth Defense Forces.

But this will not prevent the hull from suicide bombing immobile targets such as planets. Even if you destroy your opponent, your planet will be destroyed with its kinetic energy inertia. Director Yoshikawa is right about this.

In the end, ultra-light speed using time fields, this is almost our only absolute advantage in the current situation, and it was this system that used it.

Incidentally, the time field achieves super-fast like the status quo by wrapping propulsion systems to speed up time. The thing about the current system is that it generally goes through 10 years a day, so it's called 3,650x time lapse. This only affects gravity engines, so it doesn't affect the people inside, but if you're a robot, it's okay to wrap it in this time zone.

So, artificial intelligence, Rama, this has, as it stands, the ability to go beyond any computer made on Earth, but with that cooperation we received the artificial brains offer and applied it to brains for combat spacecraft. And that artificial brain sets itself to be in that time zone while the time field is running, so to speak, it can think and react 3,600 times faster.

It should be noted that while in hypervelocity flight, the outside conditions are basically not perceptible, but for artificial brains, such as activity in the solar system, the time lag is so small that it is hardly an obstacle if you properly grasp the condition before entering during hypervelocity flight. In this way, we have acquired an invincible battleship, so to speak. Well, a good part of it depends on robots.

Next, in defense, it will be necessary to keep the opponent's hull away from planets that should be protected more than constantly. As things stand, we have so far stipulated that about 150 million km, one astronomical unit (the distance from the Sun to Earth), is its constant limit. For this reason, the surveillance system provided by your defense forces will be deployed as shown in this figure, and as soon as discovered, one of the drones will rush to headquarters from the base that hits the hub, while the others will act to eliminate the intrusion hull. Currently in the New Yamato Defense Forces, the surveillance system operates once and for all, operating combat spacecraft as drones, placing five aircraft in deep space. Ideally, however, we believe that 10 drones, an impromptu fleet, should be placed 15 aircraft, including spare

I would therefore like 10 more combat starships as soon as possible, but we will discuss this matter later. The system and its concepts are more than that, how about that? "

Morishita finishes a long explanation.

Unexpected and applauded.

"Excellent. From what I hear, I think it's perfect. So, I wonder what you brought me. Director Yoshikawa?"

General Alan Gilbany asks.

"This is a set of 5 artificial intelligence for maneuvering. We also bring robots to battle starships for sets. Now the robots are producing this artificial intelligence under the guidance of Larna in the New Moment. In January, however, 20 planes will be available." Shunhei adds Morishita.

"In Shinmatsu, we don't have enough fuselage because we're using five combat starships as drones right now. In the meantime, I'd like five planes."

"Hmm." Kiribury sees Shingo Nishiyama. I saw the Sky Admiral nod, and Kilivery did.

"Well, come on. So the cruiser will bring the artificial brains home."

"I understand. Please also prepare additional battleships as soon as possible. Please," Morishi said.

"We will now discuss the exploration of the X race, one of today's key agendas. I'd like to ask the proponent's director of the Yoshikawa Earth Defense Army Medium Institute about this."

Moderator Adjutant Deep Mountain Sky swings to the next agenda, but he's pretty good at tickling Shunping.

"Yes, this time we are trying to investigate a species that was exploring a giant planet in the Armal system, believed to live in a star system five light years from Armal.

This is a species that breathes ammonia and the Armals are not in direct contact either, only some information gathered by the Armals' picturesque communication, and we do not know the language composition of the opponent. However, since we seem to call ourselves linens, we will henceforth call ourselves linens.

Hi, from the impression of contact, I have the impression that this race linen people are passive for contact and hate the call from the Armals as well. The subject's solar system has already been identified by the Armals, following their trajectories as they leave. We also know about the composition of the planets because the Armals have a way of knowing the composition of the planets in a system about 10 light years old.

Also, that spacecraft seemed to be rocket-engineered, with only 1/2 the speed of light. It would therefore take more than 10 years to come to the next star system, the Armal system, and it would appear that there was a strong reason for the linens to travel to the Armal system.

The exploration of the X race intends to start with this linen man, for one thing, with the raid of the Armal star taking place extra suddenly without any contact or preliminary stage threats. At least, if we are a species that lives in an environment close to Earth with oxygen breathing organisms, we should at least spare and hesitate to destroy one planet that we can live on ourselves. In that sense, I wonder if the Armal star felt any value because it was not suitable for life for that species.

Therefore, if you are a species living in the atmosphere of ammonia on a giant planet, it is possible to take enough action like that. But sending hulls from 100 ships at about twice the speed of light, and consuming a large number of nuclear bombs, is a major event for any species.

There must be some clear reason.

As a matter of fact, I don't think the subject species we're trying to investigate is the one who did that raid. First of all, we sometimes have a clear impression that we are not using gravity engines, and that Armals are not mentalities that would destroy other races if their race linens were much calmer.

The Armals did that, extremely sensible when it comes to interpersonal relationships, and I believe in their impressions. The Armals also have the impression that, at the same time, the linens were disappointed with the results of the investigation. This means that it took me 10 years to go all the way out into the other solar system but it was wasted. Well, it means you won't know unless you go in the end, but this investigation therefore thinks it's less dangerous. As for the number of aircraft you need, you don't know why in the unlikely event of a loss on one aircraft, so it would be at least two, still look at the extra room and three.

That's what I'm gonna do, so thank you.

The departure is after the renovation I just told you about, so it's a week from now.

Thank you for listening. "

Already, there has been a loud protest that Shunping can't go, but ignoring it, Shunping finished the conversation.

In the end, pressing all oppositions, Shunping and Zhangyi were to accompany this survey flight due to the Muraku type "Sayi", which came from Shinmatsu.
