Cupid's chest was full of characters, but he couldn't figure out what it was trying to say, and the combination of words was so incoherent that it was like an AI system was in disarray.

In this moment, the crystal robot simply withdrew the five silver threads under its cheeks, started the engine behind it, spun around in the air, and threw it into an 8-meter-long and wide wreckage not far away.

Tang Fang thought about it for a moment, kicked the wreckage behind him, followed Cupid, and floated towards the wreckage of the battleship.

After a few breaths, he was guided by the crystal robot into the inner space of the wreckage, and then he saw a black polyhedral metal ball fixed to the beam in front of Cupid.

"It's ......"

Seeing the face of the polyhedral metal ball, and the black holes on it, reminded him of the battle video he watched in the Central Starport, where the Wuzhu-class armored ship was blasted through the energy field by a Nemesis-class tactical destroyer, revealing the internal structure.

The polyhedral metal ball in front of him was much smaller than the black ball at the core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship, and it was thought to be the heart of the Ranger-class fast assault ship.

He didn't touch the polyhedral metal ball at the first time, so as not to cause any trouble, but just mobilized the detector outside to release all its functions and scan the target at a fixed point to determine what was going on with the polyhedral metal ball.

Soon, the observer in precision scanning mode gave the scan results, and Emma reported an anomaly to him after comparing multiple parties: "Commander, there is a slight distortion in the density of space-time near this black sphere, and according to the scanning results of the observer, faint traces of gravitational fluctuations can be detected. ”

Tang Fang said: "Traces of gravity fluctuations, what do you mean? ”

Emma said: "It means that when this core device was alive, it had a violent gravitational wave release process, which had some impact on the surrounding time and space, creating many subspace faults and dimensional cracks. Cupid itself is a special operation robot designed by the Ipsilonians to repair the Ashtolando system, and has the ability to sense wormholes and subspace anomalies, perhaps because of this, it is affected by the black polyhedral metal ball and has such an abnormal reaction. ”

Emma's speculation was very reasonable, but what he couldn't understand was what Cupid had just passed on to him, which could actually affect the Ipsi Dragon rune on his forehead and activate the extended function of the interstellar system.

Emma could not give a proper answer to this question, saying only that it may be another way of expressing information, beyond human understanding and the current level of measurement technology.

"Is it possible...... The level of science and technology of the Third Committee has reached the heights of the Ipsilons? ”

He thought of his previous experience in the Lost Lands, and the Ipsilons had been able to make initial use of dark matter and dark energy, perhaps...... A similar technique existed in the Third Committee.

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

He nodded, simply not wasting his energy on this incomprehensible matter, and turned his gaze to the system space: "Emma, help me check, which race space is the newly expanded element of the system located?" ”

"Please ...... later" After a moment, Emma's voice sounded again: "Commander, according to the changes in the memory pool data, the new expansion project is located in the Terran base and the Star Spirit base. ”

"Terran base and astral base?" Tang Fang was shocked. He hadn't encountered this situation before, and it was a bit strange to expand new units to work on a single race, and it was a bit strange to unlock two race items with one object.

He first put his consciousness into the Terran base, selected an SCV, pressed the hotkey, and found that there were no new units unlocked in the basic/advanced building menu, and then clicked around the Soldier Building and Research Building, but still did not find any new elements.

It wasn't until I calmed down and carefully clicked on the classes and buildings again, and finally found a page-turning option in the lower right corner of the star base.

When you press the hotkey, the menu bar screen changes, and the icons such as the Rock's Propaganda Boat, the Three-Headed Dog Pirate Capital Ship, and the Colonial Bomber disappear and are replaced by the Archangel, the Sea Master-class battlecruiser, the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, the Herculus-class battlecruiser, and the Gorgon-class battlecruiser.

Tang Fang was taken aback by the scene in front of him, he never thought that the Star Base would have such a function.

Of course, a Ranger-class fast assault ship cannot unlock a battlecruise-class spaceship, and 4 types of warships, including the Sea Master-class battlecruiser and the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, are still locked, and the unlock condition shows "unknown", but the icon of the archangel is highlighted and has been activated.

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

Tang Fang was no stranger to it, but what made him speechless was that the elite class of the Viking fighter, the Sea Rain Angel, had not yet been unlocked, and the prototype had been unlocked one step ahead, which ...... It was such a surprise.

The system annotation shows that the Archangel has 5 major components.

1. Strengthened fuselage: As the prototype of the new generation of fighters developed by the Empire after the Battle of the Brood, the Archangel spent a lot of money in the research and development process, and the engineers did not hesitate to equip it with the best airborne equipment, the highest alloy alloys, hoping that it could replace the Valkyrie frigate and become an excellent air combat unit that could stand alone. Because it was intended to replace the bulky Valkyrie frigate from the beginning to cover the battle patrol, bombard at high altitudes, and support ground forces, the Archangel's fuselage is shorter than the Valkyrie frigate, but it is longer than the Phantom fighter, and the armor is much thicker, especially the application of secondary steel and stab-resistant and impact-resistant materials in important parts, which makes it a huge aerial warhawk.

2. Strengthen armament: In order to maximize the practicality and battlefield survivability of combat units, and adapt to the racial characteristics and attack methods of alien insects, Archangel not only carries out air strike missions, but also needs to support ground troops. The Archangel is equipped with ground weapons that are far more powerful than Viking fighters. AFTER SWITCHING FROM SKY SUPREMACY TO LAND TITAN, THE GATLING CANNON WITH MORE THAN HALF THE CALIBER OF THE VIKING FIGHTER MADE IT A KILLING MACHINE, AND THE PRESENCE OF 3D IMAGING TECHNOLOGY, FIRE SATELLITE TARGETING SYSTEM, AND FIXED-POINT BOMBING MODE SERVERS GAVE THE ARCHANGEL A FEARSOME LONG-RANGE BOMBING CAPABILITY, AND IT ALSO HAD A 30MM CALIBER LASER CANNON TO DEFEND AGAINST AIR TARGETS. To put it bluntly, the combat effectiveness that Archangel can exert in ground battles is not inferior to the Thor siege mecha.

Third, the strategic module: while ensuring the air/ground combat effectiveness, the Archangel is also equipped with a very accurate remote positioning system, which can guide the airborne cabin, as well as be used to accurately fire ground targets from high altitudes, and even guide nuclear bombs, providing early reconnaissance and cleaning up threat facilities for the orbital bombardment of battle cruisers.

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

5. Sword Suit: This equipment of the Archangel is considered a bad taste for engineers, although they themselves do not think so, and some engineers even prefer not to understand people to call it feelings. It turns out that if this thing is used to fight the Star Spirit, it is to find it unpleasant for itself, it is heavy and inflexible, and there is no need for it to exist at all. It wasn't until a pilot manipulated the archangel to fall from the sky and pierce the skull of a thunder beast that was bound to its body, that people felt that this weapon was still somewhat effective.

According to the performance of the Archangel in all aspects, it is definitely a perfect and impeccable replacement for the Valkyrie frigate, but its high cost makes the already financially tight empire very headache, forced by the bad situation at home and abroad, the archangel failed to enter the assembly line after all, and the army is installed on a large scale, it is used as the secret weapon of the empire, used to defend some strategically important 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 scheme of the Viking A1 hybrid armored combat machine and the Viking A2 hybrid armored combat machine was finally accepted by the Imperial military, among which the Viking A2 hybrid armored combat machine was equipped with a large range of troops because of its super high cost performance, and finally replaced the ghost fighter and became the standard fighter 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, requiring 1000 crystals and 900 gas, and the unit consumption is 4, which is slightly lower than the Valkyrie frigate, but the population occupation is higher.

Because there is no official data to compare, he can't imagine how powerful the archangel's size is, but it can be seen from the system notes that in the land battlefield, the archangel in the form of a mecha has a powerful combat power comparable to the Thor siege mecha, not to mention that it can also switch to flight mode and incarnate as a strategic bomber.

Datian is definitely cooler and more visually impactful than Griffin fighters, Valkyrie bombers, and Viking fighters.

It seems that with it, the Thor siege mecha, which occupies up to 6 units, will be much weaker on the battlefield, and then replaced by an archangel who can lift into the air and dominate on the ground.

Emma is the best at striking people, the best at saying bad things when he is happy, and it was the same before, and it is now.

"Commander, the Archangel belongs to the high-level elite unit, and it is higher than the Viking Fighter and the Sea Rain Angel in terms of class level, just like the Devil Dog, Hammer Security, Spike's Angel and other elite infantry 1000 population limit can accommodate a maximum of 200 population, and the Archangel is also included. In other words, the Terran base with a population limit of 2000, even if it does not produce other elite units, only Archangels, the system can hold up to 100 units. ”

The smug expression on his face froze, but he didn't complain about anything, first, he was used to it, and second, this was very in line with Sister Logic's divine logic.

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

Compared with the Viking fighter, its body is more streamlined, and the model is more detailed and textured, which has a high ornamental value.

Moreover, the archangel in the air form has both air attack and ground attack capabilities, and the skill bar has its own fire satellite targeting system and wave missiles.

The former increases the range of the Archangel's missiles and the Gatling Cannon, and the latter increases the range of the Archangel's anti-personnel missiles.

To Tang Fang's surprise, as written in the notes, the Archangel in front of him was really equipped with a reinforced burst laser cannon, which was also connected to the fire satellite targeting system, which could carry out precise strikes on moving targets on the ground.

After switching to mecha mode, Archangel has a new active ability, Targeted Bombing, which can use the MANPAD Launcher to saturate an area within a certain range. SOME RESEMBLE THE FOUR-250MM PUNISHER CANNON BOMBARDMENT OF THOR.

Because he was now in the storage unit of the containment station, it was not easy to test the combat ability of the archangel, so he gave up the idea of summoning it to the real space, and with a turn of consciousness, he entered the Star Spirit Base to look for the other unlock that Emma said.

Still check the building menu first, and find that there are no new elements unlocked, and then the army building.

As the cursor panned to the mechanical station, he found a new icon behind the detector, which in appearance was a drone with two parts, one hovering in the air and the other with a mechanical chassis like a dragon knight.

By the system's definition, it's an automatic satellite. If an observer is a reconnaissance vehicle that is active in space, then an autonomous satellite is a detection device placed in a planet's orbit or a space facility.

Unlike the Observer, it is invisible, and it is much larger, but it is very powerful and comprehensive, and can complete the topographic mapping, stratigraphic scanning, climate monitoring, elemental analysis and other work of a planet in a very short time.

In other words, the autonomous satellite is far more useful for science and industry than it is for military purposes.

No wonder...... No wonder Sister Logic provided him with such an automatic satellite on the basis of having an observer.

The system has a short comment on it, and there are only 2 major component analysis reports.

First, the cutting-edge sensing system: the scanning end of the automatic satellite integrates a variety of sensing equipment, under the control of the quantum brain, these sub-sensors can implement satellite monitoring of the entire planet without dead ends, and the system can scan a large area of outer and outer space at a frequency of hundreds or thousands of times per minute under the full operation of the system. In addition, automatic satellites can also cooperate with ground mobile base stations to conduct detailed and accurate surveys of a planet's geological environment, and then locate minerals and underground suspicious targets, and it can also be used to predict most geological disasters and time-space anomalies.

Second, mobile base station: In addition to the scanning end of the integrated multi-purpose sensing system, the automatic satellite also has a mobile base station, and the all-terrain suspension system gives it excellent ability to cross terrain, and can carry out data collection work in the harshest environmental and climatic conditions, and at the same time, the ghost-driven pulse detonation engine gives it the ability to fly short distances. It is also a containment and repair platform for the satellite side, and the built-in repair robot is responsible for the maintenance work of the satellite side. (To be continued.) )
