Chapter 919： Archangel

The characters on Cupid's chest changed continuously, but he didn't understand what it meant to express. The combination of those words was extremely incoherent, just like the confusion in the aI system. Net﹤

In such a moment, the crystal robot simply retracted the five silver wires under its cheeks, started the engine behind it, turned in a circle in the air, and threw it into an 8-meter-long wreck not far away.

Tang Fanglue thought about it, kicked his foot on the wreckage behind him, followed Cupid, and floated towards the wreckage of the battleship.

After a few breaths, he entered the inner space of the wreck under the guidance of the crystal robot. Then, he saw a black polyhedral metal ball fixed on the beam in front of Cupid.

"this is……"

Seeing the face of the polyhedral metal ball and the black holes on it, it reminded him of the battle image seen in Central Star Harbor. The Wuzhu-class armored ship was bombarded by the Nemesis-class tactical destroyer through the energy field, revealing its internal structure. Scene.

The polyhedral metal ball in front of you is much smaller than the black sphere at the core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship, and it is the heart of the Voyager-class fast assault ship.

He did not touch the polyhedral metal ball for the first time, so as not to cause any trouble. He just mobilized the outside detector to release all the functions and scanned the target at a fixed point to determine what happened to the polyhedral metal ball. Why can it affect Cupid without energy response?

Soon, the detector that entered the precise scanning mode gave the results of the scan. Emma reported an anomaly to him after conducting multiple comparisons: "Commander, the space-time density near this black sphere is extremely slightly distorted. According to the detector As a result of the scan, we can detect faint traces of gravity fluctuations."

Tang Fang said, "What do you mean by the traces of gravity fluctuations?"

Emma said: "It means that when this core device was alive, there was a violent gravitational wave release process, which caused some impact on the surrounding time and space, creating many subspace faults and dimensional gaps. Cupid himself is Ipsy Longren designed a special operation robot for repairing the Ashtorando system. It has the ability to sense wormholes and subspace anomalies. Perhaps because of this, it will be affected by the black polyhedral metal ball and have such abnormal reactions. ."

Emma's speculation is very reasonable, but what he didn't understand was that what Cupid had just passed to him could affect the Ypsilon rune on his forehead and activate the expansion function of the interstellar system.

Emma was unable to give an appropriate answer to this question, only that it might be another way of expressing information, out of human understanding and the current measurement technology level.

"Could it be... the level of science and technology of the Third Committee has reached the level of the Ypsilon people?"

He thought of his previous experience in the Lost Lands. The Ypsilons can already make use of dark matter and dark energy. Maybe... the Third Committee also has similar technology.

Emma said: "Commander, I don't think they have the technology to manipulate dark matter or dark energy. The abnormal situation just now should be just the stress response of the Epsilon rune in your mind."

He nodded, and simply didn't waste energy on this incomprehensible thing, and turned his attention to the system space: "Emma, ​​help me check, which race space is the newly expanded element of the system located?"

"Please wait..." After a while, Emma's voice sounded again: "Commander, according to the memory pool data changes, the new expansion project is located at the Terran base and the Protoss base."

"Human Base and Protoss Base?" Tang Fang was startled. He had never encountered this kind of situation before. In the past, expanding new units was used for a single race. The situation where one object unlocks two race items is really weird.

He first put his consciousness into the Terran base, select an scV, press the hot key, and now there is no new unit unlocked in the basic/advanced building menu, and then click on the production building and scientific research building, but still nothing New elements.

Until he calmed down, he carefully clicked on the units and buildings again, and finally a page-turning option appeared in the lower right corner of the star base.

Press the hot key, the menu bar screen changes, the Rockwell propaganda boat, three-headed dog pirate battleship, colonial bomber and other icons disappear, replaced by the Archangel, the Haiba-class battlecruiser, the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Hercules-class battlecruisers, and Gorgon-class battlecruisers.

Tang Fang was taken aback by the scene in front of him. He didn't expect the Star Sky Base to have such a function.

Of course, a stalker-class fast assault ship cannot unlock a battlecruiser-class spacecraft. Four types of battleships, including the Haiba-class battlecruiser and the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, are still locked, and the unlocking conditions show "unknown" , But the icon of the archangel was highlighted and activated.

The Archangel is a giant fighter plane and the prototype of a Viking fighter plane. It has appeared in the Battle of the Heart of the Swarm. The fighting method is very special, like a big toy, which was finally dismantled by Kerrigan.

Tang Fang is no stranger to it, but what makes him speechless is that the Haiyu Angel, the elite unit of the Viking fighter, has not been unlocked yet, and the prototype has been unlocked first. This... is really surprising.

System notes show that there are 5 major components of the Archangel.

1. Reinforced airframe: As a prototype of a new generation of fighters developed by the Empire after the Brood War, the Archangel spent a lot of money in the research process, and engineers did not hesitate to equip it with the best airborne equipment. The most advanced alloy is expected to replace the Valkyrie frigate and become an excellent air combat unit that can be its own. Because it was intended to replace the bulky Valkyrie frigate for cover, high-altitude bombing, and support ground forces at the beginning, the archangel’s fuselage is shorter than the Valkyrie frigate, but longer than the Ghost fighter. In terms of armor, It is also a lot thicker, especially the important parts of the application of next-generation steel and stab-resistant and impact-resistant materials, which makes it a huge aerial war eagle.

Second, strengthen the armed: in order to maximize the practicality and battlefield survivability of combat units, to adapt to the racial characteristics and attack methods of the Zerg, the archangel removes the need for air strike missions and supports ground forces. The Archangel is equipped with ground weapons far more powerful than the Viking fighters. After switching from Sky Overlord to 6 Titans, the Gatling organ cannon with more than half the caliber of the Viking fighter turned it into a killing machine, 3D imaging technology, fire satellite targeting system, and the presence of a fixed-point bombing mode server , Makes the archangel have a daunting long-range bombing ability, it also has a 3omm caliber laser cannon to defend against aerial targets. To put it bluntly, the fighting power that the Archangel can wield in a ground battle is not inferior to the Thor Siege Mech.

Third, the strategy module: While ensuring the air/ground combat effectiveness, the Archangel is also equipped with a very accurate remote positioning system that can guide the airborne warehouse, and is used to accurately shoot ground targets from high altitudes, and even guide nuclear bombs, as a battle cruiser. The orbital bombing provides early detection and clearance of threat facilities.

4. Engine: The Archangel is equipped with a set of nuclear power engines, consisting of a main engine and two auxiliary engines in the middle, to provide the torque and electricity required for the deformation of this giant fighter. During the deformation process, the auxiliary engine outputs vector thrust through four high-power turbines to ensure that the deformation process can be completed smoothly.

5. Swordsmanship: This equipment of the archangel is considered to be an engineer's evil taste, although they don't think so, even some engineers prefer to call it feelings for people who don't understand. Facts have proved that if this thing is used to fight the Protoss, it is not happy for oneself. It is heavy and inflexible, and there is no need for it at all. It wasn't until a pilot maneuvered the archangel to fall from the sky and pierced the skull of a thunder beast that was bound to the body, that people felt that this weapon was somewhat useful.

According to the performance of the Archangel, it is definitely a perfect and impeccable substitute for the Valkyrie frigate. However, its high cost has caused a headache for the empire, which is already tight, due to the bad domestic and foreign situation. It can enter the assembly line and install troops on a large scale. It is used as the secret weapon of the empire to defend some strategically significant scientific research facilities and important locations.

However, the efforts of the engineers were not in vain. As a castrated version of the archangel, the design plan of the Viking a1 hybrid armored combat machine and the Viking a2 hybrid armored combat machine was finally accepted by the imperial side, of which the Viking a2 hybrid Because of the high cost-effectiveness of the armored combat machinery, it is also equipped with a large range of troops, which will eventually replace the ghost fighters and become the standard fighters of the imperial fleet.

The Archangel is larger than the Viking Fighter and the Sea Rain Angel, and the unit cost is also a lot higher. It needs to consume 1ooo crystal and 9oo gas, and the unit consumes 4. The cost is slightly lower than the Valkyrie frigate, but the population is higher.

Because there is no official data for comparison, he can't imagine how mighty the archangel is, but from the system comments, it can be seen that in the 6 battlefields, the archangel in the form of mecha has a powerful combat power comparable to the Thor Siege Mecha , Not to mention that it can switch to flight mode and become a strategic bomber.

Datian is definitely more cooL and more visually impactful than Griffon fighters, Valkyrie bombers, and Viking fighters.

It seems that with it, the thunder **** siege mecha with a unit occupying up to 6 will be much weaker on the battlefield, and will be replaced by the archangel that can soar into the air and can also dominate the ground.

Emma is the best at hitting people, and the best at saying bad things when he is happy. It used to be, and it is the same now.

"Commander, the Archangel belongs to a high-level elite unit, which is higher than the Viking Fighter and the Sea Rain Angel in terms of arms, just like the Devil Dog, Hammer Security, Spike’s Angel and other elite infantry soldiers with a population of 1ooo and a maximum population of 2oo. , Archangel is also included. In other words, even if the human base with a population limit of 2ooo does not produce other elite units, only Archangel, the system can accommodate up to 1oo units."

The smug expression on his face was stagnant, but he didn't complain about it. First, he was used to it, and second, it was in line with the logic of Sister Logic.

He put an archangel into the production menu casually, and after a few breathing efforts, with a familiar voice, the archangel appeared in the empty seat next to the starry sky base.

Compared with the Viking fighter, its posture is more streamlined, the model is more refined and textured, and it has a high degree of appreciation.

In addition, the archangel in the air form has the ability to attack both air and ground. The skill bar has its own fire satellite aiming system and wave missiles.

The former is used to increase the range of the Archangel’s missiles and the Gatling organ cannon, while the latter is used to increase the attack range of the Archangel missiles.

To Tang Fang’s surprise, as written in the notes, the Archangel in front of him was really equipped with an enhanced burst laser cannon, which was also connected to the fire satellite targeting system, which could accurately strike a moving target on the ground.

After the Archangel switched to the mech mode, he had a new active skill ------ fixed-point bombing, which could use the shoulder-mounted missile launcher to perform saturation strikes in a certain area. Something similar to Thor’s four 25omm Retributor artillery shells.

Because he was in the storage unit of the containment station, it was not easy to test the combat ability of the archangel. He gave up the idea of ​​summoning it to the real space. After turning his consciousness, he entered the Protoss base and looked for another unlock item that Emma said.

Still check the building menu first, there are no new elements to unlock, and then the production building.

When the cursor moves to the mechanical platform, a brand new icon appears behind the detector. From the outside, it is a drone, composed of two parts, one suspended in the air and the other with a mechanical chassis like a dragon knight.

According to the definition of the system, this is an automatic satellite. If the detector is a reconnaissance vehicle that is active in space, then an automatic satellite is a detection device set in a planetary orbit or a space facility.

Unlike the detector, it cannot be invisible and is much larger, but its functions are very powerful and comprehensive. It can complete topographic mapping, stratum scanning, climate monitoring, element analysis, etc. of a planet in a short time. .

In other words, the use of this automatic satellite in science and industry is far greater than its use in military.

No wonder...it's no wonder that Sister Logic provided him with such an automatic satellite based on the detector.

The system's comments on it are very short, with only two major component analysis reports.

1. Cutting-edge sensing system: The scanning end of the automatic satellite integrates a variety of sensing devices. Under the control of the quantum brain, these sub-sensors can monitor the entire planet without blind spots. When the system is fully running, it can The frequency scans a large range of internal and external space hundreds of times per minute. In addition, automatic satellites can also cooperate with ground mobile base stations to conduct detailed and accurate surveys of the geological environment of a planet, and then locate minerals and underground suspicious targets. It can also be used to predict most geological disasters and Time and space are abnormal.

2. Mobile base station: In addition to the scanning end of the integrated multi-purpose sensor system, the automatic satellite also has a mobile base station. The all-terrain suspension system gives it an excellent ability to cross terrain and can operate in the harshest environmental and climatic conditions. At the same time, the pulse detonation motive driven by phantom energy gives it short-distance flight ability. It is also the containment and repair platform on the satellite side, and the built-in repair robot is responsible for the maintenance work on the satellite side. (To be continued.) 8
