Chapter 290: New Strength
"Emma, report update." Tang Fang couldn't wait to ask.
"Commander, the production menu of the Heavy Factory has been updated, and two new combat units have been added: the Vulture Chariot and the Goliath Machine. At the same time, the research project of the Affiliated Pylon Science and Technology Laboratory has also been refreshed. ”
"As I expected." He smiled, focused on the heavy factory of the Terran base, selected it with the cursor, and glanced at the production menu on the right. The number of items that can be produced has increased from 4 to 6 now.
"It's really a vulture chariot and a Goliath machine!"
Vulture Chariots, also known as Scavenger Hovercraft and Minecarts, are among the Terran's tech units in the StarCraft era, and the Vulture Chariots are mainly used for reconnaissance and patrol, and they can travel at speeds of 230-370 miles per hour. The standard armament is a man-gun grenade launcher, but the new Vulture model also carries a Spider Ray Bree system to defend the perimeter of the base.
In terms of attack, a single man-gun grenade launcher naturally can't do much damage to heavy vehicles. The real scary thing about the Vulture Chariot is its powerful Spider Rebre system. The Spider Mine is not as powerful as its advanced weapon, the Widow Mine. However, it is expensive in terms of low cost, and has systems such as warp light stealth, self-seeking enemies, tracking, and simple AI. It can accurately and effectively kill individual soldiers, as well as light and medium vehicle units.
Goliath Machine Qì Man, also known as the Giant Combat Walking Mecha. The Goliath is made of secondary steel, which is effective against grenades and light weapons. With the help of two reverse-jointed mechanical legs, the Goliath has all-terrain mobility and computer-controlled weapons. THEY MOSTLY ATTACK WITH TWO 30MM AUTOMATIC RIFLED GUNS THAT FIRE EXPLOSIVE SHELLS AND HELLFIRE ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES. Therefore, although the Goliath aircraft are mainly used for air defense, they can also provide ground fire support, which can not only effectively hit the enemy's aircraft, but also be a nightmare for infantry and light vehicles.
The Goliath can also be equipped with a Caron regulator to increase the propulsion of the missile, and the targeting system can also be upgraded to make the Hellfire anti-aircraft missile have a longer range and higher accuracy.
In order to control the machine, the driver has to tie himself to a "basket" to let the machine pass the computer to simulate the movements of his limbs (mainly the lower limbs), and as for the control of weapons and other content that is difficult to control with the body, it is done by voice control. These operations require so much practice that their drivers need six months of training.
Then, Tang Fang moved the cursor to two items, the cost of the vulture chariot was 75 crystals, occupying 2 people, and the cost of the Goliath machine qì people was 100 crystals, 50 gas, and the occupancy of the population was also 2.
Eventually, he turned his attention to the technical studio of the heavy factory's ancillary pendants. There were three more new studies. They are: upgrading the ion thruster, deploying the Spider Ray Bre system, and installing the Caron pressure regulator.
Upgraded ion thrusters allow the Vulture to travel at speeds of up to 370 mph, making it more agile and agile. Deploy the Spider Ray Mine system, as the name suggests, to give the Vulture Chariot the ability to bury Spider Mines.
As for the installation of the Caron regulator, it will make the Goliath machine have a longer range in the air.
The cost of upgrading the Ion Thruster is the same as deploying the Spider Ray Bree System, which is 1000 crystals and 1000 gas. The addition of a Caron regulator is 1500 crystals and 1500 gas.
According to Emma's estimates, the "nano neural network electrical pulse expansion scheme" will take about a month to complete. During this period, presumably the Lector government will not sit idly by and ignore itself, and in the coming days, it will inevitably be a very difficult task to defend the institute and protect Tanglin, and maybe the entire northern suburbs of Wendenbat will become a battlefield.
Lancelot is not a cowardly person, he will definitely mobilize the entire army of Lector to suppress him, and in the next month, there will be a tough battle waiting for him.
However, with the thorns, vulture chariots, and the pervasive, eerie and flexible spider mines, he will give the government's army a taste of ass blossoming.
As for the Air Force, there are Viking fighters, there are Goliath planes, and it should be difficult for Rector's Air Force to take advantage. Of course, if Lancelot had enough to eat and get a few battleships down, he wouldn't mind letting the young and promising Lord get a taste of the Wyvern's face.
After his mind withdrew from the system space, Tang Fang took a deep breath and was about to put away the "Zhixin" and go out, when suddenly, Emma's voice sounded: "Commander, I found a strange phenomenon, in addition to the manufacturing and upgrading projects of the heavy factory in this system update, there is suddenly a strange document titled 'UNKNOW' in the computer of the Star Rail Command Center, with an unknown creation date, unknown signature, and unknown size. I tried to move it to quarantine, opened it in a virtual system environment, and found that it was very short, just a few numbers, which should be a bearing coordinate value. ”
"Weird documents? Azimuth coordinate value? ”
"Yes, if you compare the Milky Way star map, this coordinate should be located in the Tianchao star area of the Hillenbuir region." As he spoke, a star map appeared in Tang Fang's mind, along with the coordinate points circled by Emma.
"The 'Sea of Dead Silence' in the Tianchao Star Zone?" Tang Fang was stunned.
The so-called Sea of Dead Silence is a "no man's land" in the Tianchao Star Region with a time span of 1,800 light years. This area does not contain any tangible and colored interstellar matter such as stars, planets, or even stardust, and is a vast vacuum desert, and it is also a natural dividing line between the Hillenbuir Region and the Asgot Region. Even if you take the fastest space shuttle, it will take more than 3 years to make a round trip.
For more than 200 years, countless scientists and adventurers have explored the Sea of Dead Silence for many years, and have never found anything valuable, just like its name, it is definitely a Sea of Dead Silence, except for nothingness or nothingness, and some boring guys jokingly call the Sea of Dead Sea the entrance to hell.
What the hell is going on with this coordinate? Why point to the Sea of Dead Silence? He racked his brains and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason. "Emma, what do you think?"
"I'm sorry commander, I can't make a reasonable judgment without conducting a field investigation."
"Are you sure this coordinate point is from 'Zhixin'? Instead of saving zài before? Tang Fang took out another chip from Crotan from the storage module of the shoulder armor, looked back and forth, and said.
"Commander, I checked the system log again, and that's right, the article definitely appeared just after the system was updated."
He turned the two chips over and over again and looked at them several times, and finally looked at a section, and put the two chips in the middle of a pair, a strange phenomenon occurred, the sections were tightly bitten together, and there was no fixed gap in the middle, just like the two were originally a fragment of a complete core after the fragmentation.
The two chips are combined in a rectangular structure, but there is a large irregular hole in the center. Tang Fang held two chips in one hand and held them high above his head, and looked at them again and again through the light on the ceiling: "If I guessed correctly, there should be another 'Zhixin' stored in Zài." Could it be ...... Which coordinate is the location of the last chip? ”
"Forget it, I'll talk about it later, the first task at the moment is to solve Tang Lin's physical problems. Well, there is also a defensive battle against the government forces of Rector. ”
Putting the two "Zhixin" into the storage module of the shoulder armor, Tang Fang turned around and walked out of the real room. Next, instead of immediately returning to the command center, he went around the institute's energy warehouse and looted the source zero that Faraday had used for research.
Perhaps because Faraday's research direction is bioengineering, the energy warehouse in the zero source element reserves are not large, according to Emma's measurement, planing out the treatment plan, a total of 4000 gas value absorbed.
After a series of battles such as breaking through the police blockade, capturing the Lanna Military Academy, and breaking into the research institute, the resource value in the system space is 322925 crystal, 70,815 gas.
The three family units are as follows:
Zerg: King Worm X75, Euglena X30, Puppy X388, Queen Worm X87, Cockroach X147, Wyvern X60, Ground Thorn X1 Spine Needle Reptile X88, Population 784/842.
Protoss: Probe X1, Zealot x265, Stalker x37, Dragon Knight x44, Mechanical Sentinel X34, High Templar x2, population 764/1000.
Terran: SCVX1, Heavy X153, Reaper X8, Marauder X16, Fire Bat X14, Medic X24, Fire Chariot X25, Siege Tank X36, Viking Fighter X87, Medic Transport X18, GhostX5, Population 578/1000.
Thinking of the grim situation he was about to face, he first clicked on the options of "deploying the Spider Rebre System" and "installing a Caron regulator", and then added 40 vulture chariots and 30 Goliath machines to the production sequence.
The resource value dropped to 312005,64315, and after a few minutes, there was an additional mechanical force in the Terran base, and the total population soared to 718/1000.
Immediately after, he shifted his mind to the Zerg base, and successively hatched 20 king worms and 30 stinging snakes, and commanded 20 of them to mutate into ground thorns. This process consumes 10,000 crystals and 3,500 gas. Total resources continue to decrease to 302,005,60,815. Zerg units have increased to 844/1000.
After doing this series of things, he produced 4 SCVs in a row, and together with the original one, according to the design drawings of the plug-in device provided by Emma, he used the resources available in the institute to enter the busy work.
Tang Fang returned to the command center, and Valentin had been waiting for a long time with two researchers. On the other side, the sweeping team led by 4 GHOSTS also wiped out the blood wolf warriors in the research institute, and some engineering and logistics personnel, as well as civilian officers, were uniformly imprisoned in a cell used to hold real materials in Area C.
As a humanist and medical worker, Valentine has a compassionate heart. After learning the purpose of their trip from Tang Fang, the old man volunteered to stay and assist in the treatment, hoping that he would let go of the coerced researchers and some engineering and logistics idlers.
The Tang side vetoed this request and elaborated on its own considerations.
In the next month, there will definitely be a fierce battle between him and the Lector government, let those people go back? It's just that I can't find myself happy.
Valentine himself didn't have much hope for this, and seeing that he didn't allow it, he could only sigh and say no more.
About 10 minutes later, the roar of warplanes was heard over the institute, and a medical transport plane slowly landed on the tarmac of the buffer zone around the institute. Claire, Tang Yun, and Haosen, who was carrying Tang Lin, walked out under the support of the two teams of machine gunners.
Aros stayed on guard while Grant led several men into the institute. Bai Hao and Roy, who had disposed of Hercules, also returned to the command center together.
After everyone saw each other, it was inevitable that there would be another round of conversation, and after learning what happened to Bai Hao and Roy, Claire looked sad and sighed. But Haosen continued his usual style, mingling with the two half-sized boys, and going to the restaurant for a drink, which slightly diluted the sadness in Roy's heart.
Tang Yun was very curious about Freya, after all, the two were of the same age. It's just that the latter is still asleep and is not allowed to talk.
After placing Tang Lin and Freya in two different wards, and instructing a few machine gunners and fanatics to take care of them, Tang Fang came out of the institute and summoned 20 ground spikes.
When those spider-like big creatures appeared in front of Aros and Grant, the two of them were startled, the size of the ground thorns was larger than that of siege tanks, and the body length was almost 12 meters, and the sharp hook claws were stuck in the ground, and from a distance, there was a soul-snatching cold light. There are many long, sharp needles on its back carapace, and the needles rise and fall as the body shakes, so that it is not terrifying.
Tang Fang swept the grove between the buffer zone and the iron wire network of the research institute, and rushed to the 20 ground thorns to give the order of "submergence".
Nga ga, 叧 囶......
With a screeching sound, the nearly 4-meter-high, 10-meter-wide big guy spread out in a swarm, slashing six lower limbs in the annular area of the grove around the research institute, and quickly dived underground.
The cigar in Aros's mouth almost burned out, almost burning his lips. Grant looked blankly at the vanishing thorn at the end of his field of vision, and muttered, "Is it ...... What are they capable of? ”
Tang Fang didn't speak, just sneered, but Aros spit out the cigarette butt: "Poor guys......"
Next, he summoned another 40 vulture chariots. Unlike the Chariot of Flame, the Vulture Chariot is much thinner and more like a field bike than a car. It's just that it's longer and more stunning.
THE VULTURE CHARIOT IS A TRUE SINGLE-MAN VEHICLE, WITH A SLENDER NOSE EQUIPPED WITH A 40MM GUN HOWITZER, AN OPEN-AIR COCKPIT IN THE MIDDLE, AND A SIMPLE CONTROL PLATFORM. The rear of the vehicle is equipped with a high-pressure airflow ** device and a thruster group, which can make the Vulture Chariot exceed the speed of sound when fully operational.
For the Spider Ray bree system, the driver of the Tang Fangtong guò chariot learned some information that was different from that in the game. In general, the Vulture Chariot can carry 3 Spider Mines. If it is just a simple minelaying mission, the Vulture Chariot can recall the system space after the mine, and then, after an interval of 1 minute, it will be resupplied.
After learning of this situation, Tang Fang was very excited for a while, and then ordered the vulture chariot to disperse and lay spider mines in the isolation area outside the buffer lawn and wire net of the research institute.
Forty vulture chariots kicked up a cloud of dust in the park and sped off at a speed. At this moment, Aros, who had always been calm, suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Leave me one." ”
Tang Fang and Grant both looked at him with stunned expressions, thinking that the veteran didn't care much about weapons, cars, etc., it turned out that he liked this thing. However, it's no wonder that Dafan has some stories, men who have experienced vicissitudes of life, don't like cars very much, and always feel sissy, but this kind of motorcycle with a primitive and wild charm is more suitable for them.
“OK!” Tang Fang threw a vulture pilot back into the system space, the veteran stepped into the cockpit, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the rear thruster lit up with a red flame, and the vulture chariot shot out with a "whoosh" and went straight to the south gate of the park.
When the dust raised by the 40 vulture chariots subsided, the Tang side summoned 30 more Goliath machines. These 3.7-meter-tall iron guys are designed for anti-aircraft operations, have two multi-functional robotic arms on their upper bodies that can be used for engineering work, and carry a pair of Hellfire missile launchers on their shoulders. EQUIPPED WITH TWO 30MM RIFLED GUNS ON THE ABDOMEN, WITH TWO ANTI-JOINT MECHANICAL LEGS UNDERNEATH.
According to the performance report sent back by the pilot, the Tang side learned that the Goliath aircraft could strike the enemy's aircraft at an ultra-long range with the help of radar, far-infrared enemy detection, multi-mode guidance and other equipment. The upgraded Caron regulator component of the Goliath Qì Man, with a range of more than 50 miles of surface-to-air missiles, can visually strike enemy warplanes and even space warships that have landed in the atmosphere.
Grant's eyelids are jumping, the ground thorns, the vulture chariot, the Goliath machine. After walking around the research institute, he actually created several combat units. Is this kid Doraemon possessed?
Tang turned a blind eye and ordered 10 Goliath machines, 10 marauders, 10 nurses, and 100 machine gunners to form a patrol force to carry out a guard mission around the iron wire network in the park. Another 30 siege tanks were summoned to set up a tank formation between the buffer zone and the square around the institute.
Then, 20 fire chariots were dispatched out of the park and dispersed around some important road sections, buildings, and urban facilities in the northern suburbs, cooperating with vulture chariots to conduct front-line reconnaissance and patrol operations.
As for the interior of the institute, the top of the building is guarded by a close defense force consisting of the Queen, Ghost, Fire Bat, Zealot, and a large number of puppies.
In the end, he released three more eyeworms, bringing all the millions of square kilometers of airspace around Wendenbat into the reconnaissance range. Although it takes time now, and it is tempting to delay it for a while, but as the research institute is the focus of Lord Lancelot's attention, the Rector government will definitely find out about the changes here as soon as possible. Instead of cowering, it is better to put on a dignified posture, raise the middle finger at Governor Roger, and say loudly: "I'm here, you have the ability to bite me." "It's a pleasure to come. RS
