Chapter 764： Mothership core

This may be related to the physique of the Ypsilon. The dark matter that makes up the runes of the Ypsilon cannot be quantized, which severely restricts the progress of the development of Ypsilon's space-time technology.

However, from the "Ashtorando" system to the current teleportation beacon, it can be seen that the Ypsilon rune has not become an insurmountable moat for the Ypsilon people, but it has slowed their pace. .

From a purely functional point of view, the "Ashtorando" system is similar to the Protoss "portal gate" mechanism. If the teleport beacon and its related equipment are integrated into the entire transportation system, wouldn't it be a "folding over the door" with the Protoss + The combination of "Crystal Tower" has the same goal?

Of course, at this point, the Ypsilons have not yet reached the technological height of the Protoss arbitrarily turning over, because in order for the "Ashtorando" system to operate, it must be supported by the dimensional tunnel constructed by the dimensional lock.

At the same time, when the transmission beacon is activated, a special space energy is needed to stabilize the wormhole structure and construct a special gravitational subfield that carries the runes of Ipsyron. If he guessed right, it should be an isotope crystal from zero element.

The zero-isotope energy is a relatively scarce resource even in the Ypsilon society. It will only be put into use in certain special fields, such as the "Apocalypse" of the main gun of the Intrepid Commander-class fortress. .

The above information came to him at the moment when the Demon Sword was broken, when he saw those little energy crystals.

He didn't know how long the real world had passed, but it was just a blink of an eye in his mind anyway. When the consciousness returned and the body could move freely, he found that he had left the Bavarian space station and appeared in a strange place.

There is still a soft touch under the feet, which originated from the green meadow, but under the fine dirt. It is a crystal platform exuding silver-white light.

At the same time, the jumping arcs of light attracted his attention.

They come from the top of the crystal platform and wrap around a huge facility like a water ball. The diffused light cast sparkling waves on the surface of the water, which at first glance looked like countless silver carp.

In fact, the most eye-catching thing is a psionic flame floating above the opposite console.

no doubt. This is the remains of a large Ypsilon, and it is also the reason why he deliberately let Reeves succeed.

The new Ypsilon ruins herald the new Protoss technology, but if he wants to touch the psionic flame in the past, he must first defeat Ansaldo and step over his body.

The magic sword has been broken, and there are fragments on the meadow, washed by the silver streamer. It looks a bit dazzling.

Tang Fang raised his head and looked at his face with calm eyes.

Ansal is very puzzled. If the two sides change their identities, he will definitely be surprised and even fearful. However, Tang Fang's expression is very calm, as if he had known such a scene.

"I can make you a real ghost."

The meaning of this sentence is very simple. Before he died, Tang Fang could say his doubts, and he would answer truthfully.

Unfortunately, Tang Fang didn't want to ask anything. The only thought in my mind was to finish Ansaldo at the fastest speed and get what was in the psionic flame.

Without warning, Ansaldo's chest was pierced by a blue light blade.

Whether it is a strong physique. Still extraordinary skill, did not play any role in front of that blue light blade.

It came silently, and he died silently.

The only sound was the muffled sound of blood coming from his throat, and the only emotion was the horror in his eyes.

"I know what you want to say."

When Tang Fang passed by him, he said in a very calm tone: "See you in hell, right?"

The shoulders were rubbed against the shoulders, and neither of them could see their expressions.

"Unfortunately, I can't keep the appointment."

The moment Ansaldo collapsed on the platform, the left and right lights flashed. 4 vetoers appeared.

The 4 kadarin crystals light up brilliance, and the "power of the vetoer" is aroused. A quantum vacuum area was created in the peripheral area of ​​the crystal platform, and the active energy surge was suppressed to a minimum. Those bombs lying on the left and right of the platform, enough to blast the entire space station into slag, are like flames that have lost oxygen support, unable to complete their inherent mission and become duds.

The "Power of the Veto" relies on the way of overloading the Kadarin crystal, which has a heavy load on the system, and cannot last for too long, but it is enough for Tang Fang to obtain the information in the psychic flame.

When those light filaments were affected by the rune of Ipsilon and fell on Tang Fang's wrist, the consciousness was forcibly pulled into the system space.

The Sizu interface disappeared, and Sister Logic's voice rang in her ears.

"Psionic fluctuations are detected, the diagnostic program is started..."

"The diagnosis is complete, confirm the suitability of Protoss."

"Activate the Protoss base."

"Perform frequency analysis..."

"Fluctuating level b+, unlocking the crossing tree, technology level 2, unlocking the unit "Mothership Core"."

As the sound fades, the base selection interface returns.

Tang Fang tried to suppress the excitement in his heart. He did not retrieve the newly unlocked "Mothership Core" at the first time. Instead, he put on the harsh environment protective suit at the fastest speed, activated the stealth function, and then released the immortal toward the weakest space station. The place burst into flames.

The explosion can be transmitted in the bulkhead, the high temperature melts the metal material, the shock wave shatters the bulkhead, and the pressure difference between inside and outside creates a strong suction force, pulling him into space.

In the next second, the bombs placed in the space station undergo a mass-energy conversion, and the surging flames light up the void, and countless metal fragments are ejected outward, tearing the entire bulkhead.

The fireballs formed by the bombs exploded in a straight line, and after a few breaths, the entire space station was swallowed and turned into a piece of wreckage on fire.

While waiting for the containment of the special operations transport ship, Tang Fang poured his consciousness into the system space, chose the Protoss base, and clicked on the Protoss hub. Sure enough, he found that the mothership core that was originally locked in gray had been unlocked.

To put it bluntly, this is his first Protoss battleship and a combat unit that has been coveted for a long time.

Although it is only the core of the mothership, not the mothership itself, it is not an epic unit, but in any case, the combat power should always be stronger than the Phoenix fighter and the scout fighter.

One thing, he is very clear. The core of the mothership is a strategic unit, not a tactical unit.

Since their return from the depths of space, these ancient motherships have become an indispensable part of every Protoss fleet. However, to build these powerful command ships is a time-consuming and laborious task. Especially at the moment of continuous war. In order to solve this problem, a group of brave Protoss began to try to use the mothership core-a huge and super-powered heart crystal-as a defensive weapon during the construction of the mothership hull. This very successful strategy quickly spread throughout the Protoss troops. now. Many Protoss commanders use cores to defend their bases, charge troops and buildings, and teleport troops on the battlefield.

There are 4 major components in the mothership core.

1. Repulsion Cannon: After extracting energy from the heart crystal, the expelling cannon will launch semi-solid psionic energy and produce a strong knock, which is so strong that it is not suitable for air combat. Knock will generate a lot of kinetic energy and heat energy and cause damage, so that each shot can violently penetrate the object, and leave a trail full of psychic firelight clouds behind. Second, photon charge: After guiding a large amount of primitive psychic energy to the heart crystal of the star core, the mothership core can convert it into a deadly weapon. In this state. The overloaded matrix will launch psionic photons, which can easily destroy enemy scouts and small combat teams; or it can be used to resist attacks from large attacking teams, enough to support reinforcements to join the battle line.

Third, time-space fold-over: The mothership core can distort time-space and establish an infinitely expanding force field on the spot. The field is full of unpredictable energy flow, which will inhibit all things passing through the force field. Enemy forces trapped in the time-distorting force field moved extremely slowly, allowing the Protoss to easily deal with them.

Fourth, group recall: There is a strong psychic combo between the heart crystals of the mothership core and the protoss star core, so the position of the crystal can be used as a beacon for the jump. After releasing a large amount of energy, the core of the mothership can surpass the limitations of time and space. Teleport a whole group of warriors to any Protoss hub.

In the battle mode, the core of the mothership is a very special unit, generally used for initial defense and offense. It is not like a normal Protoss unit. With basic attack, defense, and shield three passive research and development skills to give the combat power bonus.

It only has 4 active skills, "Group Recall", "Time and Space Transition", "Upgrade to Mothership", and "Photon Overload".

The two skills "group recall" and "photon overload" must act on the Protoss hub. Under the premise that the system building cannot be visualized, they are tasteless skills and are extremely useless.

"Upgrade to a mothership", as the name suggests. Allows to spend a certain amount of resources to upgrade the core of the mothership to the mothership of the Protoss ultimate combat unit. However, whether it is in the battle mode or the battle mode. Few people would choose to call a mothership. Since the "time bomb", "starburst beam", "galaxy vortex", and "wormhole teleport" skills were successively removed, the mothership has become the second mascot of the Protoss.

If according to Emma. Does the system position the mothership as a historical unit like Leviathan and Behemoth, does it indicate that those sky-defying skills will return to it?

The answer seems to be yes, because the cost of the poetry unit is high. If the consumption of tens of millions of gas is only exchanged for the increase of the Protoss population and the group's stealth ability, this is not in line with the logic of sister logic. After all, the arbiter can also provide collective invisibility, wormhole teleportation, and the ability to circumvent time and space.

Of course, no matter how strong the mothership is, the premise must be to unlock the relevant technology tree. According to Sister Logic's style, he will definitely not get the mothership happily.

Therefore, the mothership has 4 major active skills at the core, 3 of which are useless, but even if only one is available, it is enough.

In the battle mode, due to the need to take into account the gameplay, the "time and space fold" is manifested in creating an alien space, reducing the movement and attack speed of enemy units within the range by 50%.

But in the real world, how strong is this kind of thing that surpasses the time and space technology of the Ypsilon? Just thinking about it is frightening, not to mention that there is a repulsion gun at the core of the mothership.

Although it is a shock attack, it is more suitable for ground battles than space and naval warfare. It does not mean that it cannot strike air targets.

Under the historical background of the StarCraft world, facing the overwhelming flying units of Zergs, the core firepower of the mothership is naturally stretched, but if it is used against the warships of sovereign nations, it must have a good effect.

Unfortunately, the mothership core can only produce one.

When Tang Fang was about to press the production button, he suddenly discovered a problem--the cost of the mothership core was a bit wrong.

According to the data in the game, it costs 100 crystals and 100 gas to summon the mothership core. Occupy population 2.

Considering the core size of the mothership, it may be several times the cost of the game.

Indeed, the cost indicated by Sister Logic is indeed a multiple of 100... 20,000 times of 100.

Yes. The notes show that the cost of building the core of the mothership is 2 million crystals and 2 million gas. Only the occupied population has not changed, which is still 2.

If you follow the cost equation of an ordinary unit, doesn't it mean that the core of the mothership is as long as 20km, which is almost comparable to two Behemoths.

is it possible? Poetry and historical units like Mothership are not as huge as Behemoth and Leviathan.

Is that because this weapon is too bad? The reason for the stronger time-space fold? It seems that there is only one explanation.

Fortunately, we have plenty of resources now. The total system resources have reached 17355925 and 7464905, which are enough to build such a prodigal-level strategic unit.

He gritted his teeth and pressed the production hotkey.

The total number of resources dropped by 2 million. It becomes 15355925, 5464905.

The crystal at the top of the Protoss Hub flashed a few times quickly, and the water-like light spread, and the core of the mothership appeared over the base.

He selected the target, checked the menu bar on the right, and found that the option "upgrade to mothership" was locked in gray.

He shook his head very helplessly: "I knew it was not that easy."

At this moment, a noisy human voice came from the auricle, and the body also felt the suction from the ground, knowing that it had safely entered the containment compartment of the special operations transport ship and was about to evacuate the system space. Suddenly found an abnormality.

He calmed down and scanned the upper right corner of the interface again, and found that it was not his dazzling. The upper limit of the Protoss population has risen from 1,000 to 1,100, a full 100 higher.

Don't look at just adding 100 units, that means 50 Phoenix fighters. Fifty Phoenix fighters are enough to rival a fleet of 200 improved frigate class warships.

No wonder that the cost of the mothership core is as high as 2 million crystals and 2 million gas. It turns out that there are such benefits.

The phase turret matrix of the "Zaangang", the Bucerfalos, the core of the mothership...

Could it be fate?

He turned his consciousness back to reality, and glanced at the wreckage of the space station that was gradually cooling over the porthole. Turned and walked towards the cockpit.

It can be said that Jasper and Linova paid a great price to kill him.

The small scientific research station less than a kilometer is worthless. Those nuclear bombs are not worth any money. What is really worth is the remains of Epsilon that can be teleported through the wormhole.

In fact, the epsilon ruins are standard military equipment. Wormhole transmission is not the only function. When he connected the psychic flame, he found that it has another function, which can create a stable bubble to reinforce the fragile structure of time and space, and not only can intercept the ongoing warp transition. The aircraft can even squeeze the "subspace bubble" constructed by the evil spirit-class special service battleship such as the "Seraph", making it lose its invisibility.

Similarly, it can also eliminate the collective stealth effects of motherships and arbiters.

You can imagine how precious this strategic-level Yipsyron remains.

It may also come from the opposition reformist forces led by Reeves, knowing that this is their last fight, of course, at any cost, even if an "artifact" is ruined.

and many more……

No, this strategic-level Epsilon relic did not originate from Reeves, nor was it the property of Jasper and Linova... I am afraid this matter cannot be separated from the armed forces of God.

First, this Ypsilon relic is very complete.

Most of the epsilon relics produced in the Tianchao star area are incomplete, and few have such good appearance and function.

Second, this Yipsyron relic can function normally.

With the current technological level of a sovereign country, it is difficult to fully control the facilities of Epsilon, just like the flagship of the Silver Wheel of Lord Rector Governor Lancelot, the general force field generator configured has been working Plasma mode, if upgraded to universal mode, the shield will not be broken by Rector's heavy particle cannon.

The transmission device in front of you is different. Not only can it cooperate with the transmission beacon for short-range transitions, the stable bubble is also always in the active state, and the utilization efficiency is very high.

As far as he knows, I am afraid that only the armed forces of God can have this ability.

On the other hand, he also sorted out more details.

When attacking the God's Armed Division before, due to the urgency of the situation, he directly summoned Egg Stetman to his side with the power of the system. I am afraid that Mr. J has already learned about this.

Combining the fact that he has a large number of Epsilon remnants in his hands, the most reasonable explanation is that Iger Stetman has something similar to a beacon, which can be directly transmitted to the "Angel".

This can also explain why I know that the God Armed Division is located in the Kandonia Trench. In other words, Mr. J has already figured out the cause and effect of the incident, and guessed that Iger Stetman was an important chess piece he set. Alice, Athena, your Majesty the King played tricks.

In this conspiracy led by Jasper and Linova, Mr. J made a more detailed arrangement, or put his own way to the treatment of his body, and also used God to arm all the Ypsilon transmission equipment. , Teleporting him to an unfamiliar area, so that he is bound to be caught off guard, destroying his arrangement for the anniversary celebration of the Stone of Horus.

At the same time, the stable bubble will confine the airspace where the scientific research station is located, making it impossible for him to get out like Iger Stetman, and then detonate the bomb cleanly, so as not to grow out of knots and cause unnecessary trouble.

As for Ansaldo, it was just a cheap victim. (To be continued.)

ps: Having said so much, dare you come to the starting point to see the original version.
