An Unscientific Mechanic

After a brief exchange, Captain Picard 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 Picard will demonstrate the performance of the Federation's top saucer-shaped spacecraft.

So in two hours, Jupiter orbits.

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

Captain Picard nodded.

"All frontal phaser guns, aim at the following coordinates and fire."

Eight red beams hit the shield above the hull of the Jaeger-class Kai. After a short charge, another eight beams hit it.

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

"The quantum torpedo has been launched." Captain Picard said to Ian. Then the quantum torpedo launch tube in the middle of the Enterprise's hull fired four quantum torpedoes,

The torpedo's practical photon thrusters shone blindingly white, almost the brightest star in the night sky.

The quantum torpedo passed through the deflection shield against energy attacks, and hit the particle shield on the surface of the hull.

The particle shield resisted the explosion of three quantum torpedoes, and then the shield collapsed, and the fourth torpedo exploded on the surface of the hull. The particle shield that restarted in an instant sealed the energy of the explosion on the surface of the hull.

The huge explosion blasted a large crater with a radius of more than 600 meters and a depth of 15 meters in the hull armor.

"This is really..." Ian looked at the explosion whose lethality was enhanced by his own shield, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It should be said that it is fortunate that the armor of the hull has increased to 30 meters... Otherwise, it is estimated that one-sixth of the hull would be blown away by the explosion inside the hull.

"It seems that there is a problem with your shield settings." Picard looked at the molten metal lake that was blasted out on the surface of the huge Enterprise hull.

"That's right, there is something wrong with the settings. The performance of the shield recharger is too high." Ian rubbed his eyes, and felt a little pain from the flash. "I have a general understanding of the power of your weapons. I want to see the point defense capabilities of your spaceship. I will launch a training non-warhead torpedo."

"Please, first officer, interception mode." Picard looked back at the first officer on the weapon operator's seat.

Then within five seconds, the Hunter-class Enterprise launched thousands of high-speed torpedoes without warheads. Blast the Head of State Enterprise from all directions.

The sixteen phase cannons equipped on the Enterprise switched to a low-power mode, emitting low-power subatomic beams at high speed like a Phalanx.

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

In the ten seconds just now, due to residual vision, the Enterprise briefly turned into an orange-red sea urchin. In the optical camera, each phased array sprayed out high sub-arrays at a speed of more than ten rounds per second. Subatomic beams at the speed of light.

"I understand why you don't have any carrier-based aircraft..." Ian choked up speechlessly. The main gun was not afraid of air defense. The rate of fire was 600 rounds per minute, and the armor-piercing blast was completed in an instant. If you use a carrier-based aircraft, spray aluminum to death. "Also, you just claimed that this is a scientific research ship?"

"That's right, the Enterprise is the most advanced scientific research ship in the Federation, although she is a cruiser in the classification of many races."

"Do you think it's a bit hypocritical for a large starship that claims to be a scientific research ship to carry enough firepower to destroy a planet?"

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

"Communication? Whose?" Ian saw that the shipboard communicator suddenly received a communication.

"Are you connected to that Federation?" It was Queen Borg who appeared on the screen. "Ask for me if the USS Voyager is their ship."

"Did you hear that?" Ian raised his eyebrows and looked at Captain Picard's communication window.

"The USS Voyager disappeared during the exploration of the outer universe three years ago. Have any of your friends come into contact with that ship recently?" Picard frowned, looking at the information that the cyborg crew member DETA called up for him.

"What a pathetic organic memory, Lochuta. Can't you even remember my voice in such a short time?!"

After a short period of confusion, Picard revealed a shocked expression. "I will never forget your voice!"

No, brother, obviously you have forgotten it, but you just remembered it... and her body just appeared in front of your eyes today...

"Where is that ship now? How is their situation?" Picard took two steps forward, looking a little anxious.

"That ship has destroyed sixteen tactical Borg cubes and two basic Borg cubes in the past two years." The Borg Queen's expression was a little weird. "I'm checking the Borg data in that area right now, and the Borg's style of painting is a bit off."

? ? ? ? ?

Picard and Ian stared blankly.

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

The captains of the two Enterprises looked at each other and nodded. This kind of ignorance of fear can also assimilate other creatures. The key is the amazing race with strong fighter jets, a proper natural disaster.

"However, if I understand correctly, the Borg are a bit of a funny character when facing Voyager." The Borg Queen's expression became even weirder. "The Voyager is rampaging in the Delta Quadrant. It has encountered 11 hostile civilizations and 21 neutral civilizations. In my opinion, the Borg are the easiest to deal with. A few photon torpedoes can destroy a Borg cube. , I even liberated a Borg to be a crew member of that ship, and she named herself Nine and Seven.”

Queen Borg pouted. "What a strange name, obviously I didn't erase her memory. Now they've knocked out nine of the civilizations, and they're on the eleventh. Believe me, they're very lively."

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

"I'm afraid they won't come back for a while, Luo Chuta." Queen Borg's expression became even more strange. "We made a deal that they help us repel race 8472. We'll send them back."

"A deal between the Borg and the Federation Starship?!" Picard felt he had been fooled.

"We are being exterminated." Queen Borg said very formally. "In just three months, the race 8472 bursting from the liquid universe has destroyed more than 1.5 million Borg cubes. We were unable to adapt to their technology, but with the assistance of Voyager, our war has entered Stalemate phase. And, I believe, with their help, we can drive Species 8472 back into their space."

I've been working overtime lately until I vomit... Fortunately, I still have weekends to rest
