Compared to the old Chariot of Flame, the new unit of the Heart of the Swarm expansion, the Bat, has been upgraded in five ways.

First, the transformation servo system, Imperial engineers developed a set of transformation modules composed of a complex servo system, a water cooling system, and machine components, which were refurbished to allow the old evil fire to switch back and forth between the vehicle and the machine.

Second, the improved target locking system, at the beginning the evil bat continued to use the locking system in the form of evil fire, it is easy to accidentally injure their own soldiers, after the improvement, the evil bat's enemy seeking module is replaced by a more complex system, the new system can provide better target acquisition and tracking capabilities, and can strengthen the shape of the evil bat pilot's judgment ability, thereby reducing the probability of accidental injury accidents.

Third, the large variable range combustion engine, which is actually an upgraded version of the main engine of the Evil Fire Fighter, strengthens the air convection, so that it has enough energy to support the extra weight in the evil bat mode.

Fourth, the structure has been changed, the evil bat uses a solid yàn double steel and bound carbide weaving method, and uses lighter, more insulating and heat-insulating outer armor to protect the driver and the vehicle itself from the ultra-high temperature caused by napalm scattering, and at the same time, it also improves the explosion-proof ability of the evil bat.

Fifth, napalm injectors, the Hellfire Throwers configured with the Vicious Fire Chariot were not very effective in close combat, and adding a second weapon system to the heavily burdened chassis proved to be unfeasible. In its Humanoid form, polystyrene gas is pumped into the barrel of the Hellfire Flamer, which changes the density of the plasma fuel, making the flames ejected by the bats much more effective in melee and more lethal to lightly armored targets.

In the past, the Chariot of Evil Fire was used as a high-speed vehicle, which was more suitable for surprise combat, but. Once the Armory is completed, you will be able to get a structure upgrade that can be switched between Blaze Mode/Bat Mode. This change gives it a powerful melee ability, and the Bat can be a nightmare for light armored units.

Previously, the Hellfire Thrower attacked in a straight line, with the exception of its ability to travel at high speeds. The operational aspect is very inflexible. But after structural transformation, it can be called an all-rounder, a special force in a light vehicle.

Imagine how the enemy mechanized infantry would feel when they saw a high-speed locomotive transform into a real-life Autobot with two shields in their hands and a fiery head, just afraid that they would pee into the crotch of their pants.

Of course, the "Autobots" this surprise. It's nothing to Tang Fang, what really makes him care is another big guy, Thor!

Thor is a huge and powerful mecha, named after Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology, although it is one size smaller than the Odin prototype, it is still equipped with a powerful fire system and solid armor, and it is the strongest and heaviest land combat machine currently used by the Imperial Legion. Furthermore. Thor only needs one person to control.

Thor's core module has five main parts. One, solid armor. Heavy steel and ceramic synthetic armor protects the bulky Thor, and these modular armors can be quickly replaced if damaged, and can be replaced with more targeted armor depending on the battlefield situation. Thor's armor is designed to withstand high-explosive armor-piercing shells and interfere with the scorching rays of energy weapons, and the inner layer of the armor also has a layer of heat-resistant kinetic energy mesh. It is effective against shrapnel, metal fragments, and even destroyed armor fragments. Therefore, both the Thor body and the driver are excellently protected.

Second, the Punisher Artillery. IT IS A GUN ON THE BACK OF THOR THAT CAN FIRE 250MM CALIBER ANTI-AIRCRAFT SHELLS WITH CUTTING-EDGE ELECTRONICS. The depleted uranium core of the shell can penetrate the protection of heavily armored air units, causing severe damage, and each shell is stored separately with the basic autoloader to simplify repair and maintenance. It is worth mentioning that the Punisher cannon is not just one, but 4 packs.

Three, the high-pressure cockpit, Raytheon's high-pressure cockpit is protected by military-grade tempered glass, a series of thick stainless steel and ceramic synthetic armor. The inertia dampers and foam seat cushions in the core seat protect the driver from injury. Multiple indicators and displays monitor all of Raytheon's systems, with the main holographic display projecting computer-generated images of the terrain and, if the display fails, the tempered glass assembly also integrates a complete head-up display, navigation screen, and basic target locking system for the driver.

Fourth, the Cavlin launch canister, located on both sides of the cockpit is a twin Cavlin launch canister, which can shoot 4X2 small IFF fragmentation warheads at once, penetrating the protection of multiple lightly armored air units. Due to the small size of the missile, Raytheon can carry a large number of missiles of this type against large groups of air targets.

Fifth, Thor's Hammer Particle Accelerator Cannon, Thor's pair of arms are each equipped with 2 Thor's Hammer Particle Acceleration Cannons, which can compress high-energy particles into a clump through the magnetic restraint mechanism, causing high-temperature melting and powerful explosion damage to the target.

If the Bat and Viking is a light machine gun, then Thor is a powerful artillery. 250MM CALIBER 4-PACK PUNISHER CANNON, GAFULIN CANISTER, QUAKE PARTICLE ACCELERATOR CANNON, IT IS BASICALLY A MOBILE FORTRESS.

What caliber is the main gun of the Morningstar? 200MM RAILGUNS, A TOTAL OF 6 LEFT AND RIGHT, AND THEN LOOK AT THE HAMMER OF THOR, A LAND WEAPON, IT IS ACTUALLY EQUIPPED WITH 4 250MM GUNS. Under the existing ship system of mankind, on the planet with a general gravity coefficient, only destroyers and frigates-level small ships can break into low-altitude operations, and their armor is simply not enough to defend against Thor's large-caliber depleted uranium armor-piercing shells.

For small aircraft, Thor also has a Cavlin launcher, which can shoot 8 fragmentation warheads at a time, and with sophisticated enemy detection equipment, it can form a wide range of fragmentation splash damage, which is a powerful means of attacking and interfering with fighter groups. Speaking of the ground, 4 particle accelerator guns larger than the caliber of the Punisher artillery, not to mention vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles, even if they make a way to prevent nuclear explosions, I am afraid that a few shots will be blown into slag.

Aside from its slow movement speed, this thing is a ground fortress. There are Viking fighters in the sky that can be used as fighters and can be used as Gundam fighters, and on the ground there are vicious fire chariots that can drive at high speed and can become Autobots, and then paired with a city-breaking sledgehammer like Thor, supplemented by ultra-long-range fixed-point bombardment of siege tanks. On Planetary Inland Operations Alone. Who is still their own opponent?

Manipulate an SCV to drop the armory not far from the heavy factory, and in about 10 seconds, the building is completed. Then, he switched the cursor to the Heavy Factory, and the two production items of Evil Bat and Thor were changed from gray locks to highlighted and available.

The cost of the bats is the same as in the game, 100 crystals. Cost 2 population. As for Thor, it actually needs 600 crystals, 400 gas, occupies 6 people, and its resource cost is twice as much as in the game, according to previous experience, that is, Thor's height is more than 20 meters.

Tang Fang subconsciously glanced up at the ceiling, how tall is this lounge? More than 3 meters. In this way, Thor is almost 10 stories high...... Before he crossed over, he had seen Thor's official concept art, and the width and height of this thing were almost the same, what kind of concept was this? I'm afraid that if you go out and scare people, you can scare people half to death, so you can also fire the cannon, pull it out and walk around the battlefield, just wait for the opponent to raise the white flag.

Vicious bats, Vikings, Thor, if these three battle mechs are lined up. Autobots, Gundam, God of War King Kong. It's so TM joyful.

Turning his head and scanning the Chariot of Evil Fire waiting in the system space, he was eager to see how this thing would morph in reality. Will it be as cool as Optimus Prime, but...... Thinking of the size of the lounge, he could only suspend this idea, if he really wanted to let the evil bat toss like this, he wouldn't be able to turn the room upside down.

Next, he counted the Terran units. When I was in the Northern Suburbs Research Institute, under the influence of the plasma cannon of the "Archangel", the ground units were reduced a lot, and then experienced several naval battles in Lector, and now there are still left:

SCVX12。 Heavy X119, Reaper X4, Marauder X12, Fire Bat X8, Medic X16, Fire Chariot X15, Siege Tank X28, Viking X48, Medic Transport X16, Ghost X15, Goliath Armed Plane Qì Man X22, Vulture Chariot X31, Widow Ray X4, Iron Raven X12. Population 580/1000.

Looking up and glancing at the resource readings, 13348445, 283434. Then, he set his sights on the armory.

Compared with the offensive and defensive upgrade restrictions of the Protoss and Zerg, the weapons and armor upgrades of Terran ships and combat vehicles are much simpler, as long as there is an armory and enough resources, you can go straight to LV3.

Emma has said before that research projects like this to comprehensively improve the attack and defense of units will cost 10 times, 50 times, and 200 times.

The cost of "Upgrading Vehicles and Ship Weapons Level 1" and "Upgrading Vehicles and Ship Armor Level 1" is 1000 crystals and 1000 gas, and Tang Fang did not hesitate to press the upgrade hotkey continuously.

In about half a minute, 2 studies were completed, followed by Level 2 studies requiring 8,750 crystals and 8,750 gas. After a moment's consideration, he pressed the upgrade hotkey again.

After the research of "Upgrade Vehicle and Ship Weapon Level 2" and "Upgrade Vehicle and Ship Armor Level 2" was completed, he hesitated when he looked at the resource consumption of 50,000 crystals and 50,000 gas.

Level 1 Attack and Defense Level 2 have consumed 19,500 Crystals and 19,500 Gas, and Level 3 Attack and Defense have come and gone with 100,000 Crystals and 100,000 Gas, not to mention the infantry upgrade items in the Engineering Station have also been unlocked. Of course, it doesn't matter what the crystal is, but what about gas...... It's just too much of a burden.

In the face of such a chaotic situation in the Tianchao Star Region, there will be a lot of battles in the future. Powerful naval units such as the Corruptor and the Iron Raven are gas consumers, and if they have too little money on hand, they will be very uncomfortable in the event of a large-scale naval battle.

The cost of "upgrading the vehicle and ship weapon level 3" and "upgrading the vehicle and ship armor level 3" was too high, so the Tang side decided to slow it down and wait for the "Babylon" free market to purchase enough zero elements in the future, and it was not too late to conduct further research.

After that, switch the cursor to the engineering station. After the Armory is built, the two research items in the Engineering Station, "Upgrade Infantry Weapon Level 2" and "Upgrade Infantry Armor Level 2", are also unlocked, and the same as "Upgrade Vehicle and Ship Weapon/Armor Level 2", which is 8750 crystals and 8750 gas.

After upgrading "Infantry Weapon Level 2" and "Infantry Armor Level 2", "Infantry Weapon Level 3" and "Infantry Armor Level 3" will also be temporarily suspended. At this time, the deposit dropped from 13348445, 283434, to 13311445, 246434.

"With today's level 2 attack and defense, I don't know how much it will improve the comprehensive combat performance of the Terran units? Well, it's better to let Emma build a model and calculate it. "Come to think of it. Tang Fang shifted his attention to the Star Orbit Command Center.

"Emma, how is the decryption going?"

"Commander, it's 78% progress, and it should be done in a minute."

"One minute...... Tang Fang pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Emma, take this opportunity to calculate the combat effectiveness bonuses brought by 'Infantry Weapon/Armor LV2' and 'Chariot and Ship Weapon/Armor LV2' to Terran units. ”

"Please ...... later"

After 10 seconds. Emma responded. THE LEVEL 2 ATTACK AND DEFENSE OF INFANTRY UNITS IS ABOUT 45% MORE POWERFUL THAN AT LEVEL 1, AS EARLY AS LV1, THE MACHINE GUNNER'S C-14 PIERCING HAND CAN PENETRATE 100MM OF HOMOGENEOUS STEEL, INFLICTING STRONG ARMOR-PIERCING WOUNDS ON LIGHT VEHICLES, AND AFTER UPGRADING TO LV2, IT CAN ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO SOME SPECIAL TYPES OF LIGHT VEHICLES WITH CHOBHAM ARMOR ATTACHED TO THEM. AS FOR THE DEFENSIVE ASPECT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEFENSE AIRCRAFT QÌ PEOPLE ENCOUNTERED IN THE XINGGANG ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION BEFORE CAN EFFECTIVELY RESIST THEIR 23MM CANNONS. Of course. This is a general statement, after all, there are many types of warheads, and Ma Runjia belongs to individual combat armor, and it is not a big guy like Thor, and he is powerless in the face of some special warheads. Such as depleted uranium core armor-piercing projectiles, tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, and even mixed munitions with radionuclides and antimatter. Similarly, the muzzle velocity of the bullet. The shooting distance and so on will also have different effects.

As for the offensive and defensive aspects of combat vehicles and ships, they have also been greatly improved. After upgrading the Zerg Air Creature's Level 2 attack and defense, the Corruptor can go toe-to-toe with the Tiger Shark-class destroyer, and the Wyvern can also use its flexible mobility to cut into some weak areas of the battleship to harass and even break through.

And when it comes to human units, the increase in comprehensive combat effectiveness is even stronger, after all. Armory upgrades don't separate vehicles from ships, as in the first generation game, but rather stack them together, meaning you buy two things for the same amount of money.

In terms of the Terran units that can be controlled at the moment, in terms of ship attacks. The most effective unit for offensive and defensive progress is the Viking Fighter, the "Tank and Ship Weapon Level LV2" gives the Viking Fighter a destructive effect far beyond that of the Wyvern, and with their small size, a 3-person squad can easily sink a 100-meter frigate. As for the destroyer, according to Emma, a salvo of 3 Viking fighters, and a dense MT-50 Lanzel flying thunder will directly destroy the ship's structure, and its combat effectiveness is enough to compare to the corrupt.

OF COURSE, IN TERMS OF DEFENSE, EVEN IF THE VIKING FIGHTER UPGRADES ITS ARMOR, IT CANNOT RESIST THE RAILGUN ABOVE 120MM, WHICH IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE CORRUPTOR. But as the saying goes, the ruler is short, the inch is long, and the flexibility of the Viking fighter is much more than that of the corruptor, comparable to the flying dragon, shoot two flying thunders to dodge the dead corner of the turret, hit two shuttles to hide in the shadow of the hull, and the weapon system of ordinary warships wants to kill them? That is tantamount to anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes. Not to mention that it can also perform ground support operations, this thing falls from the sky and rolls to become a land aircraft, and the humanoid Gundam can withstand the main gun of the tank in key parts. The upgraded large-caliber Gatling cannon against an armored vehicle like the Sabertooth Tiger is simply chopping melons and vegetables, even if it is a heavy tank, it can be swept into a hornet's nest.

The combat effectiveness of flying units has been greatly improved, and the ability of combat vehicles can not be ignored, taking siege tanks as an example, in normal mode, before upgrading, the 90MM twin plasma turret can blast open the turret of the "one-horned rhino" main battle tank at one time, and after the weapon upgrade, it can almost pierce the one-horned rhino. IN TERMS OF DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE, WHEN THE NORTHERN SUBURBS INSTITUTE DEFENDED THE BATTLE, THE "UNICORN RHINO" 125MM MAIN GUN WAS STILL ABLE TO CAUSE SOME DAMAGE TO THE ARMOR OF THE SIEGE TANK, BUT NOW, AT MOST, IT IS JUST A FEW CRATERS AND GROOVES.

"Ha, now I'm hoping for a bitter ground battle." Tang Fang felt a little pity, a big and mighty Mr. like Thor, drove out for a ride, more windy, cool, handsome! , 36K pure handsome! The return rate is absolutely leveraged.

Think about the earth trembling under its feet, and the image of a steel boot stepping on the main battle tank, it is so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly...... Alas, it's a pity that the space of the "Lokia" starport is limited, and there are many people, otherwise......

"Commander, the decryption has been completed." Just when Tang Fang's heart was itching, Emma's prompt sound sounded in his head.

"Huh? Done? Report the situation. ”

"Commander, the information stored in this chip is a giant fighter with the number 1A4789 and a manufacturing process."

"What? Giant fighter jet qì man? Tang Fang sat up all of a sudden, and casually took a PDA on the coffee table: "Emma, import the details into the PDA." ”

"Yes, Commander." As Emma's voice fell, a three-legged machine appeared on the PDA's display, the chassis is a bit similar to the "poison sickle" encountered by Crotan, but it is longer, wider, and the foot part is not quite the same, similar to the webbed of a duck, the torso is a narrow column, all purple coating, there is an oval crystal cockpit in the middle, behind it is a turbine-shaped heat dissipation unit, in the upper part of the torso, there are three thick tentacles of metal black, the front part of the tentacle is in an iron claw posture, and three sharp sharp thorns are arranged, In the middle is a crimson diamond-shaped crystal, which flashes at the same frequency as the ring-shaped indicator light on the heat dissipation turbine on the back of the machine. (To be continued......)
