An Unscientific Mechanic

"Enterprise?" Picard exchanged a strange look with his bridge crew. "Please tell me where to send it."

"Three meters behind me."

"What an incredible ship, Captain Ian." A big bald head appeared behind Ian. "Coincidentally, this ship is also called Enterprise."

"Lucky-E's name resounds throughout the heavens and the world." Ian nodded. At least it resounded through the three worlds.

"Wow, that's really good..." Picard looked down at the corpse on the ground. "This is impossible. I saw with my own eyes that the Borg in that area were destroyed, and the Borg cube was also destroyed..."

"Captain Picard, the body is just a container. As a group consciousness of the Borg, as long as you don't block all the surrounding signals, and don't eliminate all the Borg...at least eliminate enough to satisfy the emergence of group consciousness, then As a container, you need as many bodies as you want. Don't be limited by human thinking." Ian smiled slightly. "You say yes, Lochuta."

"What do you know, Captain Ian."

"It's nothing important. What's important is that I came here and I had a conversation with them. The Borg gave me a promise that they will temporarily stop their assimilation of other races." Ian took off his glasses. "Like so many traditional film novels, the Confederation is about to rot, and they will succumb to prejudice and apprehension."

"It's the most unlikely of all things."

"Stop talking, they excluded you from the battle against the Borg a few hours ago. In theory, you are the human being who knows the Borg best. Think about how much the Federation would have paid if I hadn't come over casualties?"

"Big... very big."

"That's it. Since they choose not to let you come, they would rather believe in their risk-averse plan than choose you to command this battle to increase their strategic advantage. Sooner or later, they will embark on a road of no return. , a rotten way of no return." Ian wiped his glasses and put them on again. "I believe it's a good thing for the Federation to have a strong and positive enemy, a good thing to keep them positive."

"The Federation is already surrounded by powerful enemies, the Romulan Empire, the Chance Tribe of the Klingons, the Cardassian Alliance... There are still many powerful enemies surrounding the Federation."

"Unfortunately, these countries are not enough to provide enough power for the Federation." Ian spread his hands. "Any intelligent creature will compromise, and these countries either do not have too many conflicts of interest, or are too far away, or have similar strengths, so they will not fight a total annihilation war with the Federation."

"But the Borg are different. They will not compromise, they will not stop, and they are powerful enough to suppress the Federation." Picard understood instantly.

"Exactly." Ian snapped his fingers. "You should also understand that the Borg began to change six years ago. They are trying to communicate on an equal footing with the outside world. Although the means are a little bit fucked up."

"Your so-called fucker is a little bit, referring to the sacrifice of eighteen of my crew members, and myself being assimilated by the Borg. We are discussing human life." Picard looked super serious.

"The Borg have taken the first step, and it's human's turn to take the next step. Captain Picard, sacrifices are often necessary." Ian looked into Picard's eyes. I can't tell that the eye has been stabbed... "Do you know how many people my people sacrificed in order to talk to an alien who was absolutely impossible to defeat and who was also unable to talk to at the beginning?"

"That must have been a huge sacrifice."

"That's right, a huge sacrifice. From the establishment of the dialogue plan two hundred years ago to the implementation of the dialogue two hundred years later. The direct death toll is no less than one million, and the indirect impact is no less than one billion. In the end, more than five people died during the dialogue. 100,000 people. If it weren’t for the fact that els is still strong, the direct death toll may exceed 10 million.”

"I gave the Borg an idea, maybe they will change, maybe they won't. And you also need to respond. Either find a way to coexist with the Borg, or find a way to fight them."

"Is there a way to fight the Borg?!" Picard's eyes lit up.

"Shouldn't you first think of using peaceful means to deal with it? What is the motto of your federation? We come with peace?" Ian rolled his bald head.

"One drink and one peck is God's will."

"This sentence shouldn't be used here." Ian thought for a while. "If you want to express that everything has a cause and effect, emmmmm... I don't know what to use. I just want to say that personal grievances are worthless on the racial level. As for more, you can know yourself."

"I just want to know, can humans fight against the Borg?"

"I believe you can just give up the lower limit." Ian adjusted his glasses. Te Niang's photon torpedo standard charge is 1.5 kg of antimatter, 1.5 kg! The theoretical equivalent of the explosion is 64 megatons of TNT. This is the standard self-defense armament for scientific research ships here, are you kidding me?

When I was playing els, I worked so hard to save about 200 catties of antimatter. The use of strategic weapons is already considered extravagant. Is antimatter a conventional charge in the 24th century?

There is also the quantum torpedo of the commander-level equipment, which uses the zero-point energy of space, and its power is several times that of ordinary photon torpedoes. What is the zero-point energy of space?

A research ship equipped with enough weapons to blow up the planet's crust... Hehe.

"Actually, I think the lower limit of the commander level is already low enough." Picard looked at his Enterprise.

"I can't understand the Federation's starship design concept at all." Ian also looked at the Enterprise.

"What's the meaning of that big disc? And those two supporting rods." Ian looked at the Enterprise. "The armor is weak, there is no carrier-based aircraft, and the shape of the hull is unreasonable. There is no advantage except that it looks more peaceful.

The defense depends entirely on the shield, and the hull is as fragile as paper when the shield is broken. It is obvious that it is nearly 700 meters long, so can't we strengthen the structure? "

"All starships of the Federation are equipped with structural stability positions, and the shape does not affect the structure." Captain Picard retorted casually. "As for the armor, trititanium alloy is the hardest material in the Federation, and the shape...saucer-shaped spaceships are generally scientific research ships, and only the challenge class is a full-time battleship. Now, it is that small ship. Theoretically speaking, what is present here is not A cruise ship is a research ship.

As for the shape, and those two sticks, it has been discussed for a long time within the federation. But the deadly radiation produced by the curvature engine can only be isolated from the main hull in this way. "

Picard stuck out his tongue mischievously. "Although we think the starship designed in this way is very beautiful, we also think that the two sticks look too dangerous. One day, a starship will lose power because the support rod is broken."

I always feel that you are mapping the Enterprise in the previous time and space... Ian suddenly remembered the fate of the Enterprise in Beyond the Stars...
