Chapter 922： Man's taste

The resource cost of the stone fanatic is 1000 crystals and 750 gas, and the population takes up 4.

From this point of view, it is much smaller than the giant elephant.

In terms of skills, apart from the regular upgrade items of the Protoss ground units, the Stone Fanatic also has an active skill "Dash" and a passive skill "Detect Unit", in other words, it can be hidden.

After reading the comment of the stone fanatic, he always has a sense of sight. After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on me, isn't this the Ghost King Mecha in Red Alert 3?

By the way, Blizzard’s staff are really lazy enough, so they use other people’s things in their own works...

Of course, the Stone Fanatic is much stronger than the Ghost King Mecha. It should be a ground unit at the same level as the Terran Odin Siege Mecha, Archangel, Zerg Beast, and King Beast.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Council and the Third Committee jointly raided the Dillard star system. The Dragon Whisperer not only arrived in time, eliminated the enemy by three times, but also gave himself a gift.

The archangel in the sky, the gargoyle on the ground... this combination is really interesting.

As for the mysterious voice in Tiexun, he hoped it was a message from the Dragon Whisperer.

………………

After getting out of Tie Xun, Chen Jian first asked him if he was injured and learned that everything was fine, so he asked what he encountered below, because besides Guang, the deputy head still heard the conversation vaguely.

Tang Fang shook his head, did not say much, and walked towards the shuttle first.

Before understanding the identity of the voice, telling them that there is no point, it only adds to the worry.

The sky was completely dark, and only Fengwu whispered, rolling up the slender gravel and hitting Ma Runjia's shell.

The fractured ridge was buried by the night, and the iron xun at the core of the pit rested, but the fixed-point energy response could no longer be detected.

Ten minutes later, the shuttle engine started, and the surging heat caused a ring of sandstorm on the ground, accompanied by a dragon flame, a silver light soared into the sky, piercing the thin atmosphere, and plunged into the dark and deep space.

After returning to Central Star Harbor, he followed the generations, and then rushed to the ground to meet with Sheridan, Ruskin, and Valentine's two students, to find out about the damage to the ground equipment.

Fortunately, Yasen Nicholas responded promptly. As soon as the Third Committee and the Supreme Council’s coalition forces appeared, Sheridan, Ruskin, and others were informed to evacuate ground personnel to a safe area. There were no casualties.

After that, he convened a staff meeting to tell everyone that he had returned to Dilar with practical actions and no longer had to worry about threats from the Supreme Council and the Third Committee.

After the conference, he left some human units to help the park staff clean up the ruins and repair the equipment, and then returned to the Angel.

The connection with the Babylonian star system has been established, and Grant and Christian briefed him on the recent free market conditions. Affected by the war between the Star Alliance and the Mongolian Empire, the precious minerals required for the manufacture of dimensional locks have become more difficult to acquire. Palladium, iridium, and rhenium mines are even more valuable and unmarketable, and the acquisition work is in a difficult situation.

This has a lot to do with the New Deal of the governments of the Hiromberg region to deliberately control the export of valuable military materials. His actions in the Turanx United Kingdom and the recent intensive military mobilization of the Sauron Empire have further contributed to this tension. situation.

The Charles Federation, the Dolanx Republic, the Star Alliance, the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Sauron Empire, and the Turanx United Kingdom... Seven of the ten countries in the Helenberg region may have been dragged into the quagmire of war , Or about to enter a state of war, will inevitably have a huge impact on international trade, especially ore transactions related to the military industry.

This was reasonable and also expected. Tang Fang didn't have much mood swings, and told Grant and Christian not to worry, just take your time. Iridium, rhenium, and other minerals related to military technology are difficult to acquire. You can focus on the non-military materials needed to manufacture the dimensional lock. He figured out his own methods for difficult-to-acquire minerals such as iridium, rhenium, and palladium.

If all goes well for Turanx in the United Kingdom, he should be able to obtain these minerals through Henrietta.

Of course, the current situation is somewhat sensitive, and it is not appropriate to have too many contacts with the old man, Elena and others at this time. When the social situation in Turanx United Kingdom stabilizes, whether it is with a feeding injection or a morningstar casting The military materials produced can be exchanged for those minerals.

Even in Babylon’s free market, it is difficult to purchase minerals such as iridium and rhenium. The situation in the Jakartapur star system where Walton and Radu Khan are located is naturally even worse.

Next, Grant asked about Dillard's loss. After learning that there were only a few casualties, he breathed a sigh of relief. Christian told him that he had reached an agreement with the "Green Ark" and that their engineering team would rush to the Delar Star System in a month. At the same time, the equipment needed for the basic smelting industry has also been prepared, and it will be a few days later. Ship in the day and sail in a few days.

He was very surprised by the fact that the "Green Ark" successfully signed the planetary environment transformation agreement. Once he came here close to the uninhabited area of ​​the Star Alliance border, although it is not a frontline, it is not a safe airspace. In addition, the Supreme Council and It is hard to imagine that those people will come here without any worries about the impact of the Third Committee attack. It is more in line with the profit-seeking nature of businessmen to sit on the ground and start the price.

Christian said that at first he didn't know what the people were thinking about, so he gave up this good opportunity to raise prices. Later, after much understanding, he learned that someone had ventilated the person in charge of the "Green Ark". situation.

He didn't know who was the one who helped him behind the scenes, anyway, for the time being, he was happy to maintain it.

Finally, Grant told him that Joey would drive the shuttle back to Dillard tomorrow to be reunited with Yuffi.

After disconnecting, Tang Fang left the bridge and returned to the captain's room to rest.

Lying on the bed, staring at the dimming ceiling lights, and thinking about what happened today, from the status of the Dillard star system to the Turanx United Kingdom, and then thinking of the Third Committee and the Supreme Council , And finally transferred to the mysterious existence of Laxsis.

What is the origin of that voice? Why do you want to see yourself, and what do you see from yourself?

The chaotic thoughts wrapped him, but when his consciousness became blurred and he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly sat up, and his lost eyes regained their radiance.

I almost forgot...because I have been busy since I came to Dilar, and I almost missed the planning on the way back.

He walked to a relatively spacious area of ​​the living room, sank his consciousness into the system space, selected the Terran base, selected the Draken laser drill with the cursor, and stayed on the icon of Rory Swann.

Although the coalition formed by the Third Committee and the Supreme Council did not break through the Central Star Harbor, it still caused a lot of damage to a large number of space-based facilities and Christie’s ground facilities, including practical types such as quantum communication equipment, ground workstations, and warp-speed warning network. The maintenance of the system is progressing slowly. Even with the assistance of Iger Stetman and scv, it is difficult to restore the previous level in a short time.

What's more, the engineering team of the "Green Ark" and the transportation fleet loaded with basic smelting equipment are about to set sail, but Kristall is a group of medical scientific research workers, and there are few people who understand machinery and smelting, and they deserve to be "proficient." "There is no word.

Hire a technical team with good treatment and high salary? Not to mention that the real talents are divided up by war-industry companies like Ward Heavy Industries and the Rover Technology Consortium, and it is difficult to find them. Even if someone is famous, can he use it with confidence? God knows if it will be a spy sent by a competitor.

Iger Stetman’s specialty is mechanical engineering for the human body. He also has deep knowledge in nanotechnology and computer science, but he doesn’t know much about mining, metal smelting, aerospace engineering, and military industry. I support Morningstar to cast this mountain. He needs to find a good partner for Iger Stetman who can learn from each other, to work together to support the rising star.

Originally, he planned to summon Miro Kaczynski to assist Iger Staetman, but he did not expect that the flame core of the Djinn unlocked Rory Swan, which could replace Miro Kaczynski and Iger? Stetman formed a perfect pair.

Since the West Tower quadrant left, the upper limit of hero units has been increased to 9. After Abathur is summoned, there are currently 6 hero units, and there are still 3 spots left. Even if Lori Swan is summoned, there are still 2 spots available, enough. Cope with emergencies.

He took a deep breath and pressed the summon hotkey. The resource value in the upper right corner of the system minus 18w crystal and 12w gas, the population increased by 8. The next second, Rory Swann appeared next to the Draken rig.

It was a more detailed unit than the hammer security model, with a right-hand gun and left-hand tongs, and a portable mode Betty behind him.

The corner of Tang Fang's mouth curled up, measuring the free area of ​​the living room, his mind moved slightly, summoning him to the real space.

The modified cmc-600 is very wide, with its head almost touching the ceiling, standing in the center of the living room like a cold and heavy metal wall suddenly appeared.

The body like a small hill directly blocked the light coming from behind, and the area where Tang Fang was located suddenly dimmed by two degrees. Standing in the wide shadow of Lorry Swann, looking at a pair of red glowing electronic eyes at a 45-degree elevation angle, he nodded and said, "Well...the clothes are good."

"Not bad? It almost smothered me to death." The loudspeaker of the CMC heavy-duty protective suit made a rough voice.

Then I heard a bang, it turned out that the Betty component of the fire behind fell, almost not smashing the floor through.

Swan began to disassemble the protective clothing. Every time the parts fell, the dull impact made Tang Fang pale, "Hey, hello... be careful not to make it, this is my room, the floor is almost destroyed by you ."

A dwarf engineer with five short statures, brown hair and a big shaggy beard appeared on a pile of iron bumps. He wore goggles on his forehead, and he was wearing a dark brown leather coat. His left hand was replaced by a mechanical arm. It seemed to be leaking oil, and it was not very clean and stained with dust.

Tang Fang had known that he was a shabby guy, but he didn't expect to be so sloppy.

Just when his face changed and he couldn't stand the sweaty guy in front of him, the other party nonchalantly kicked a piece of iron protective gear away, walked directly to the sofa not far away, sat down, and reached out to take it from the back bar. I took the half bottle of whiskey that I didn't finish, caught a small square glass, gurgled a full glass, brought it to my mouth, and drank half of it in one sip.

"Ha... really happy." After saying this, seeing Tang Fang still standing there, I remembered that this was someone's room, not his own doghouse. I was a little embarrassed, and he slapped the back of his head with his mechanical arm and raised it. Cup motioned: "This wine is really good, do you want to have a drink together?"

Tang Fang said, "Thank you, no need."

Unexpectedly, Lori Swann is not only a hot temper, but also a familiar attribute.

He summoned a machine gunman and ordered the protective clothing parts on the floor to be transported back to the system space. Then he walked to the sofa opposite Rory Swann and sat down, and suddenly found that the man had already dried up the half bottle of whiskey. He rudely put his feet on the coffee table that Kleia polished to see.

"Hiccup..." The wine hiccups sounded loudly, and the smell of sweat and alcohol blended in sour and refreshing.

Tang Fang frowned, turned his head a little, and said, "I have seen you and drank the wine. Let's talk about business."

Regardless of the fact that Mr. Engineer is a familiar one, he has always been serious about serious things, "I want to know what I can do for you."

Captain Tang rolled his eyelids and said, "It's very simple, first clean up the captain's room for me."

"Damn You called me out to do this kind of work that a servant would do?"

Fortunately, Claire was not present, otherwise I'm afraid that a glass of water would have been poured over, to give this speechless guy a little color.

Tang Fang said, "Will you change your job?"

"Of course." Lori Swan turned the iron tongs on his left arm and said, "I like the smell of motor oil and metal better than perfume."

The perfume he was talking about was the air freshener that Cleia placed in the additive box of the indoor air conditioning system. It was the same as the bluegrass shampoo she used.

"I finally know why you are a single dog." Tang Fang said, "If you give you a peony, you won't be able to taste anything other than grass."

"I don't like peonies, and I don't like fragrant grass." Swan said: "Compared with them, I would like to listen to the roar of excavators, the roar of engines, the roar of engines... Steel and sweat, oh... the taste of men. !" (To be continued.)
