Chapter 410: Infection Abyss

"Click, click......" Pieces of external armor are cracking, the background of the pressure indicator is flashing red, and on the Thor structure diagram displayed by the damage control management system, the red spots are rapidly eroding the armor module.

At this moment, the distance between "One-Eyed Tai Sui" and Thor has been shortened to more than 10 meters, and the two arms are wrapped around Thor like rubber bands stretched to the limit, and continue to tighten and squeeze as time passes.

“10,9,8,7……”

THE QUADRUPLE 250MM PUNISHER GUN ON Thor's back is lifted upwards and panned to a shoulder position, and the retractable barrel is extended forward to change to cannon mode, aiming at the "One-Eyed Tai Sui" in front of it at the smallest angle.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and the "one-eyed Tai Sui" is a head taller than Thor, and the weapons originally used for air defense and long-range bombing were actually used by the Tang side for hand-to-hand combat at this time.

"5,4,3,2,1" When the last "1" of the indicator disappeared, Tang Fang burst out: "Fire!" ”。

The system receives a voice command to lock the ring identifier on the system display and shrinks abruptly.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE 250MM PUNISHER CANNON ON Thor's shoulder, the Mjolnir particle accelerator cannon on both arms, and the Cavlin launcher on both sides of the cockpit flashed dazzling flames at the same time.

WITH THE SOUND OF "BOOM", THE QUADRUPLE 250MM PUNISHER GUNS SPRAYED OUT CLUSTERS OF LIGHT AND FIRE ONE AFTER ANOTHER, AND THE HIGH-EXPLOSIVE ARMOR-PIERCING PROJECTILES AROUND THE ARC WERE LIKE HARD STONES HITTING THE WATER AT HIGH SPEED, HITTING THE UPPER PART OF THE "ONE-EYED TAISUI" WITH "FLESH AND BLOOD".

Every batch of 8 IFF fragmentation warheads exploded on the body of the "one-eyed Tai Sui" more than 30 meters away, and the fragments filled with high-energy electrons penetrated deep into its body, causing a wide range of tissue necrosis.

The 250mm Punisher cannon and fragmentation warhead contain limited high-energy electronics, making them not lethal weapons. Tang Fang tried his best to compress the massive high-energy electrons to the limit, and then injected them into the accelerated electric field of the Thor's Hammer Particle Accelerator Cannon to form a spherical particle cluster, which was the real big killer.

Emma had set up a thread to calculate the energy contained in the spherical particle clusters, and after modeling them, she came to the conclusion that if they were not too far away. In addition, the Mjolnir Particle Accelerator can hit the same point 2 times in a row, even the "Aurora" shield of the Morningstar will be broken by it.

What is the concept of being able to break through the "Aurora" shield in zero-element mode? Emma has said that it takes more than 200 Corruptors to defeat the Aurora. When he got here, he only needed 2 cannons, 2 cannons!

Of course, these 2 guns must hit one point accurately, using the attack method of breaking the surface with a point. But even so, it's shocking enough.

"One-eyed Tai Sui" is powerful, but after all, time is still shallow, and there is still a big gap compared to "Aurora". Of course, its strength is reflected in its tenacious vitality, but it is precisely the high-energy electrons induced by Tang Fang that have a destructive power on the activity of its tissue cells.

"Huh...... Rumble! Rumble! ”

At the end of both arms, the annular resonance cavities of the 4 Thor's hammer particle accelerator cannons flashed with four circles of dazzling firelight, and suddenly, Thor's arms shook. With a roar, four streams of high-energy particles with fire and lightning erupted at instantaneous speeds far beyond the speed of light.

A dazzling flash of light instantly illuminates the entire hangar. The point of impact is like the source of thunder, and the high-energy electron beam pierces the air, and the high heat causes a large-scale gas expansion, producing an unusually sharp sonic boom.

Through the extreme compression of the Tang side, the energy contained in the particle ball shot by the Hammer of Tholnir particle accelerator cannon far exceeded that of the nuclear bomb, and was impacted by a high-energy electron beam. The atoms that make up the matter are shattered, the protons and neutrons are separated from the nucleus, resulting in kinetic energy transfer, and the high-speed nucleons collide with other nucleons during their operation, resulting in a series of energy level transition reactions. and scatter a large number of high-energy ray streams such as γ, α, and β, and even form black holes at the quantum level.

A ray storm comparable to a nuclear explosion that is dozens or hundreds of times larger is raging in the body of the "one-eyed Tai Sui", and it is conceivable what kind of effect it will have.

The "rumbling ......" fire flooded the hangar, and the entire industrial complex shook.

Under the dazzling light, the original wriggling body of "One-Eyed Tai Sui" seemed to be slowly petrified, and the blood pupils rotated rapidly at first, then slowed down, darkened, and disappeared until it was frozen.

"Click...... A slight crisp sound came out, and the cracks spread outward from the center of the blood pupil, like the branches of a tree, intertwined into an irregular crack net, and finally with a "bang", it shattered into countless points of light and dissipated.......

"Huh, huh......" When the strong light retreated, Tang Fang suddenly sat on the ground, gasping violently.

More than half of Thor's electronic equipment was destroyed, and the only two remaining indicators flashed "warning", and the cockpit illuminated by the alarm lights was red.

He himself was stupid by this scene, the hammer of Thor that had replaced the "ammunition" had such power, the lethality of high-energy electrons was really amazing, and terrifying creatures such as "One-Eyed Tai Sui" were actually torn into pieces by the electron storm directly from the quantum level, turned into the most basic particles, and disappeared into the macrocosm. Even Thor's body was fatally injured in the scattered rain of high-energy particles, and the body was almost scrapped.

Raising his hands tremblingly, Tang Fang looked at his palms in a daze, feeling that Emma's previous description of him was biased, what kind of humanoid wormhole is clearly the source of humanoid high-energy particles.

If you are hit by a particle ball like the one you just had, I am afraid that a large capital ship such as a cruiser or battleship will not be able to carry it. Of course, the Tang side is very clear about one thing, it is one thing to have strong destructive power, and it is another thing to be able to hit it.

Moreover, Emma said that his body is like a particle accelerator, once the high-energy electrons leave his body, or rush out of the electromagnetic conductor in contact with his body, lose the restraint of the field force, and accelerate, they will be affected by the rules of the real universe, and the speed of motion will drop sharply.

For example, just now, the distance between Thor and the "One-Eyed Tai Sui" is only a dozen meters, and the energy attenuation is limited, but if it is tens or hundreds of kilometers, the high-energy electrons are afraid that they have been weakened to the sub-light speed level.

"Commander, the system has detected that the phagocytic gene aggregate still has residual thermal reactions."

"What!" Hearing Emma's reminder, Tang Fang slammed a spirit, so that it couldn't kill it? Then it's better to grease the soles of your feet and slip away. The temptation to unlock Zerg technology is indeed great. Whether it is a scorpion or a queen, it will bring him an increase in combat effectiveness, but ...... As the old saying goes, life is the capital of the revolution, and even a small life cannot be saved. What about development?

"Commander, you're thinking wrong." As he was about to retreat, Emma explained: "The thermal response of the phagosome polymer is very weak, less than one-thousandth of the complete body, and it is supposed to be the remaining tissue cells under the particle storm. ”

"Say it earlier!" Tang Fangchang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked to the control platform, pressed the cockpit unlock button, and grabbed the lifting cable. Descend slowly to the hangar floor.

After landing on the ground with his feet on the ground, he looked around, and the body of the "One-Eyed Tai Sui" had disappeared, leaving only some necrotic pieces of flesh, scattered around the moderately deformed Thor in the main structure.

Turn on the helmet's thermal vision function, and under Emma's guidance, turn over and jump into the hole blasted by the 160mm railgun earlier, sweeping the area in front of you. A necrotic sarcoma about 2 meters in diameter was found to emit very weak thermal radiation.

Tang Fang raised his right hand and watched the high-energy electron beam bounce arcs in his palm. He then inserted it into the necrosarcoma and grabbed the radiation source in the center of the necrosarcoma with the infrared image drawn by the helmet's thermal vision module.

"Unknown DNA sequence detected, diagnostics initiated ......"

"The diagnosis is complete, and the adaptability is confirmed."

"Recombinant gene structure, gene grade B. Research Tree unlocks, Tech Level 2, unlocks the building 'Infested Abyss'. ”

"Life energy is collected, the quantity is 80, and the rare elements are collected. Quantity 25. ”

"Huh?" Tang Fang was stunned, it wasn't a unit of Interstellar 1? "One-eyed Tai Sui" is absolutely inseparable from the TS-001 specimen, logically speaking, it should unlock the Zerg technology in the interstellar 1 era, and the previous unlocking of the explosive mosquito also confirms this law, but why is the current unlock of the interstellar 2 infection abyss.

Also, what about the amount of resources collected that is tasteless and discarded, 80 crystals and 25 gas? What about those who ask for food? I risked my life to fight with it for more than half an hour, and TMD finally gave 80 crystals and 25 gas, funny, right?

"Emma, I need an explanation." Tang Fang tried to suppress the resentment in his heart.

The battle consumed 22 Goliath Fighters, 25 Viking Fighters, 2 siege tanks, 5 Stalkers, 1 High Templar, 12 Zealots, 2 Mechanical Sentinels, and 1 Immortal, totaling thousands of gas resources. As a result, such a behemoth only gave 80 crystals and 25 gas, can he not be angry?

"Commander, according to the experience of the Lector Northern Suburbs Research Institute, the phagocytic gene aggregate parasitized by the TS-001 specimen does not have a high amount of resources, and most of the energy values extracted by the system come from the parasited."

"Huh?" After listening to Emma's explanation, Tang Fang recalled the experience of the Northern Suburbs Research Institute, where the TS-001 specimen unlocked the ground thorn of Interstellar 1 after parasitic slugs, and the system only collected 180 life energy after the parasite died. According to Emma's explanation, the source of these 180 life energy should be slugs.

Doesn't this mean that after the death of "One-Eyed Tai Sui", the 80 crystals and 25 gases collected by the system did not come from the big guy, but its parasitic mother.

There are few creatures that can provide gas resources!

After discovering that there was no danger inside the necrotic sarcoma, Tang Fang grabbed the radiation source and pulled it out, and a small creature resembling the original form of "Tai Sui" appeared in his field of vision.

After looking up and down at the jellyfish-like strange creature for a few moments, he summoned a nurse MM and told him to use the special storage equipment used by the Terrans in StarCraft to store Zerg biological samples, and to keep the parasite and a small number of phagosome tissue cells dying under the impact of the particle stream, he believed that Valentine must be interested in these two things.

Next, after inspecting the nearby area and determining that all the tissues and organs of the "One-Eyed Tai Sui" with phagocytosis properties were necrotic, Tang Fang shifted his attention to the system space, selected a worker bee, pressed the "Advanced Hatching" hotbutton, and then selected the infection abyss, and instructed the worker bee to tie it on the fungus blanket.

The huge hatching sac squirmed for a moment, and the capsule burst with a "bang", looking at the completion of the abyss of infection that looked a bit like a crab, Tang Fang felt that he was really a little hypocritical.

A new unit "Exploding Mosquito", a new building "Infection Abyss", if you can exchange resources for purchase. Not to mention the consumption of thousands of gas, even if it is tens of thousands, he will not frown.

Once the Infested Abyss is completed, two new units will be unlocked, the Infected and the Swarm Host!

The infected are secretive and cunning creatures. These aliens derived from the Bob females no longer resemble individual living organisms - they are more like crawling hives. Unlike most alien organisms, the infected are able to move while submerged. These terrifying giant insects will spray vicious blight contagion fluids towards their targets. Causes the negative effect of strict zhòng. They can also swallow mutant creatures into their stomachs, and once they enter the battlefield, they can spit out these corrupted humans and fight the swarm. Neuroparasitism is perhaps the most dangerous ability of the infected, and there is a parasite in the body of the infected person, which, once invading the enemy's nerve tissue, can control the enemy's mind for a short time.

The body tissues of infected people can be subdivided into 5 major components according to their functions:

One, parasitic stinging needles. The only role of this flexible appendage is to pierce the natural or artificial shell, injecting a nerve parasite directly into the victim's nervous system. Although this formless and multi-mouthed parasite cannot survive in other organisms for long, it is still the signature skill of the infected.

Second, the fungal carapace, a fortified carapace made up of assimilated mosses and fungal substances that can defend against enemy fire and potential predators, is a strange set of "armor" that is also a weapon. Infected individuals can transform the inner layers of their carapace into a corrosive liquid that instantly decomposes other substances or renders any object they come into contact with.

Three, digging foot. The bob female has evolved and adapted to become powerful. Their tough feet contain a corrosive substance that softens the soil. It burrows into the ground in an instant, and can travel underground like a cockroach with the upgraded "Digging Claws".

Fourth, the reservoir sacs, these monsters have been known to swallow "infected human marines" as a terrifying weapon. Infected Marines are stored in thick organic cavities. Until the infected expel it and use it against their compatriots, or any target that poses a threat to the swarm.

Fifth, sensing tentacles, these twisting sensors. Although it is only a second perception system, it is more powerful. Thousands of tiny organic matter clings to these tentacles, making these biological "receivers" the eyes and ears of the intested.

The role of the infected in the swarm is similar to that of the Terran ghost, the Protoss mechanical sentinel, which is a combat support magic unit, with three active attack skills of "Nerve Parasitism", "Mold Breeding", and "Alien Combat", as well as a support skill "Stealth Movement", and a passive skill "Pathogen Gland" that increases the initial energy value. Among them, the two skills of "Nerve Parasitism" and "Pathogen Gland" must be upgraded separately in the Abyss of Infection, and the resource consumption is ten times that of the game, 1500 crystals and 1500 gas.

After recalling the information of the infected, Tang Fang selected a larva, pressed the hotkey, and the two Zerg units of the infected worm and the swarm host in the production menu were highlighted and unlocked, and the cost was the same as in the game, the former was 100 crystals and 150 gas, occupying 2 people, and the latter was 200 crystals and 100 gas, occupying 3 people.

Although the infected person is a ground unit and is not suitable for naval warfare, it is a special insect talent that the Tang side urgently needs. "Mold breeding" and "alien combat" are combat skills, and they are not only useful. "Neuroparasitism" can really belong to the anti-heaven magic technique.

In his past experience, the "mimic chicks" of the euglena were a killer feature that he tried and tried. Nowadays, with the existence of infected people, "neuroparasitism" is even more bizarre than "mimicry chicks".

What does it mean to be able to parasitize into the nervous tissues of living organisms and thus control their thoughts and actions? It's like when he was in Pur, Jakarta, Clement didn't confess his conspiracy with Junichi Fukui at first, it was Zhou Ai who killed the Japanese with a knife, but it scared the chief executive and confessed his evil deeds.

If there was an infected person at the time, and they used coercion and intimidation? Directly a "nerve parasite" in the past, the chief executive is only afraid that there is no mistress Bao Xiaosan outside, how often do they come to the big aunt, with leak-proof protection Shu Bao or Sophie elastic close-fitting, what position do you like, love to make Gang, Ben or Du, Lei, Si, all of them are confessed.

Not to mention that Tang Fang can also remotely control humans parasitized by nerve parasites, and control them to do things that are shady. One can imagine how valuable an infected person is.

"Well, this thing is definitely an artifact when used to do bad things." Tang Fang's heart suddenly flashed a very dirty thought, how good it would be if he had the interstellar 2 system before he crossed over, as soon as the infected person came out, who would compete? It doesn't matter what kind of white rich beauty, strong woman, older royal sister, little Lori, light, mature woman, and even star models, high-ranking officials are forbidden, don't you want to do that.

"Now is not the time for YY." After grinning for a long time, Tang Fang shook his head vigorously, and moved the cursor to the "swarm host".

The swarm host does not possess weapons of its own, but can hatch an army on its own. The swarm host emerges from the abyss of infestation, and is capable of hatching parasitic symbionts called "locusts" to attack nearby enemies with its acidic saliva. This creeping monster is capable of escaping into the surface to hatch ferocious bio-monsters that seem to have a never-ending end, and is often used as a defensive unit. However, the inability to move after retreat makes the swarm host difficult to deal with fast units with area attacks. (To be continued......)
