Chapter 1416: Ancient Incubation Pool
Speaking Tang Fang frowned and said, "How do you say it?" ”
"The emergence of native life on Akron was caused by the fall of an extraterrestrial meteorite into a sea of strong acid, and there has been an explosion since then," Valentine said...... For example, snow trees appear, crab monsters appear, and the acidity of the sea water decreases. ”
Tang Fang nodded slightly, he already knew about these situations the last time he came to Akron Star.
"Remember your motivation for summoning Jager Claw and Ash Worms on Akron?" After saying this, without waiting for Tang Fang to respond, the old man continued: "It is to find out the location of the hidden dryads and mutant dryads in the depths of the Akron Star formation, if it is possible to use the environmental conditions to carry out the clean-up operation by guiding acidic seawater into the underground space. ”
"However, Jager Claw and the Ash Worm did not complete the task you gave them, and as the meteor shower turned into the sea by the extraterrestrial meteorite, the dryad and the mutated dryad came out of the underworld and turned into huge sea creatures, and then turned into all kinds of native plants and native creatures of the Fungus Blanket Continent by sacrificing their bodies."
"You used to think that this transformation was an actual manifestation of the genetic value quest that the Ypsi Dragons had given to the dryad, but Walton then drove the Nightmare into the meteorite area to conduct an in-depth investigation, and although he did not find the meteorite fragments at the bottom of the sea, he captured an unknown remnant of energy."
"Previously, when I performed resonance therapy on Yingluo and compared the collected T-energy-related data, I found that a kind of pulsed energy data radiated by the T-energy fragments in Yingluo's body under the action of resonance has a certain degree of similarity with the residual energy data collected by Nightmare at the bottom of the strong acid ocean, which seems to prove that the meteorite fragments that landed on Akron can release pulsed fluctuations close to T-energy stones...... Perhaps the meteorite was originally made of T-energy stones. ”
"Of course, there is a certain difference between the T power stones that make up the meteorite and the pure T power stones you collect, and they should be variant T power stones like pyroxene. Through a lot of calculations and simulations, judging from the data obtained, I believe that this meteorite fragment of the suspected mutant T energy stone is the key to the gene pool carried by the radicalized mutant dryad. ”
After listening to the old man's opinion on the origin of the native creatures of Akron, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If the Dryad Gene is regarded as a treasure trove, and his act of creating the Fungus Blanket Continent on Akron is tantamount to finding the treasure location according to the map, then the energy leaked by the meteorite falling into the sea is the key to unlocking the treasure house. And the dryad is most likely the original lifeform used by the Ipsisaurians to sow seeds on the planet. Who else but the Ipsi Dragons can easily open this treasure trove? Where do extraterrestrial meteorites come from?
He suddenly thought of a possibility, and there was a burst of light in the depths of his eyes.
"The situation on Akron is already like this, and it doesn't make much sense to go to the root of the matter." He ended his conversation with Valentine with this answer, and turned to walk towards the Flying Eagle.
Building an Ancient Hatchery block is now the most important task, whether it's Zeluth-esque or distinctly Akron-like. Whether the material that builds Cathy's new abilities comes from the proto-Zerg or from the epic creatures, as long as it can cure her illness, it will be enough.
Valentine looked at his distant back and shook his head, didn't say anything, followed from behind, and entered the Flying Eagle cabin.
In the next half month, the four leaders of the alien insect group on the Akron Star Mushroom Blanket Continent began to hunt the native creatures, and a large amount of essentia was sent to the southern area of the central island where Zurwin lived to build an ancient hatchery environment.
On the other side, Tang Fang released Behemoth, which was used to provide Abbather with an experimental site for improving the alien insect gene. However, because this was the first time that Abbather tried to twist the gene chain of the insect and add epic creature fragments in order to breed a new type of poisonous explosive worm, the progress was far less rapid than in the battle of the heart of the swarm, and there was a high failure rate, so until Zurwin sent the information that the ancient incubator environment had been preliminarily constructed, there was still no breakthrough in the development and research of the new poisonous explosive worm.
Tang Fang did not disturb Abbather, transferred the medical pod where Cathy was housed to the Flying Eagle Cargo Hold, left the Angel, and flew to the southern area of the central island of Akron.
The use of the Ancient Hatching Tank to transform the subject's body is enough with Zurwin. You must know that the process of Kerrigan's transformation into the Primal Queen of Blades was guided by it, and now it is only a matter of changing Cathy's bodily functions so that she can feed herself by ingesting food, which is certainly not a problem.
The medical pod was dropped into Zurwin's tentacles, and the eagle landed on the gentle edge of the wetlands.
Getting out of the cabin, he had time to take a good look at the changes in the southern part of the central island. It is not known whether it is due to the influence of essentia, or whether the rivers and wetlands dug by Zurwin have moistened the surrounding environment, and different forms of snow trees are densely distributed on both sides of the valley and around the wetlands compared to the last arrival.
Tang Fang didn't pay much attention to the changes in the nearby environment and walked towards the center of the wetland. There is a huge pool of water compared to the previous situation...... No, it should be said that it is a liquid pool.
At the edge of the pool is a fungus carpet that has been hardened by the essence of the creatures, and you can see one after another fangs curving inwards on the surface of the water, making the area look even more evil and terrifying.
He didn't get too close to the pool, because Zulwin had warned that the liquid in the environment of the ancient hatching tank was very poisonous to humans, and his physical strength could not withstand the corrosion of those acids...... Not even in harsh environment protective clothing.
This was in line with his expectations of the ancient hatching pool of Zerus, after all, it was a large pool that gave birth to the same master of the protozoa. However, what surprised him was that he remembered that the ancient hatching pool water in the StarCraft 2 Swarm Heart expansion was dark green, and although the main color of the ancient hatching pool water on Akron was also green, there was a little blue light floating in that green.
He pointed to the blue light and asked, "What's the matter with those blue spots?" ”
Behind him, Zurwin moved forward slowly, and every time the huge soles of his feet fell, they created a shock wave on the surface.
"The rain falling from the sky, the corpses of native creatures, the impurities secreted by the fungus blanket...... The world's unique zero-element particles are contained in the ancient incubation pond and become a kind of nourishment, which is an important reason why the ancient incubation pond environment can be initially formed within half a month...... As a species carefully concocted by the Ipsi Dragons, the gene chain of epic creatures is too large to be compared to the ancient hatchery pool of Zerus. ”
Tang Fang said: "In short, it is to exchange quantity and quality for time and space. ”
The Ancient Hatching Tank of Zerus has been around for a long time, but it was relatively deserted after the Lord led the Worms away, until the arrival of Kerrigan, purified by the Keystone, and the power of it was transformed into the Primal Queen of Blades. The environment of the ancient incubation pool of Akron is based on Zurwin's understanding of the ancient incubation pool of Zerus, and is reconstructed with a large number of local creatures and insect essences, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is built with resources.
"Yes." Zulwin walked past him, slowly approaching the ancient hatching pool, breaking the medical chamber filled with physiological solutions, and using relatively small tentacles to wrap Cathy's body and send it to the core of the pool.
"She's physically strong and should be able to survive the pool water. However, the hatchery pool will need to be refilled with creature essence for a while before it reaches Zerus's energy level, and I will be here to guard the pupa and not let those pesky native creatures come and disturb the alienation process. ”
"Native creatures will come here to attack the pupae?" This inevitably reminded him of the situation in the "Severe Test" level of the Heart of the Swarm campaign, when Kairigan turned into a pupa and went there, and then the local creatures swarmed from the three roads, making him very hard, how can he now have this kind of development in the matter of changing Cathy's physique.
"No, they're not here to attack Cathy, they're here to plunder the easily absorbed active zeros in the hatchery. ”
"Huh...... It seems that I am too careful. Tang Fang said, "Do you need to notify Yager Claw and Dehaka that they will send their alien insect units to help you protect the ancient hatching pool?" ”
"Don't bother, I'll be able to handle the natives."
"In that case, then there is work." He was satisfied with the humility of the other party, so he did not skimp on his respect.
Zulwin didn't continue to speak, as the tentacles that had guided Cathy into the pool retracted, the water gushed out in continuous bubbles, and three hooked spines rose from the bottom of the pool, spun upward, and gathered into a gray-brown pupae.
Everything is going according to plan, all that remains to do is wait...... Wait for the native creatures and insect essences to change Cathy's bodily functions and survive the death.
Standing still for a moment, he turned and walked back, into the Eagle cabin, and started the warp engine to leave the central island.
Although Zulwin said that he could, he still instructed the leaders of the Alien Insect Race, such as Jagercon and Dhaka, to send a part of their combat units to the southern part of the central island to clean up the native creatures, and assist Zulwin in guarding the ancient hatching pool, so as not to affect Cathy's recovery.
As Zourwin mentioned, it was a gradual process for the Akrongu hatching tank to reach the energy level of the Zerusgu hatching tank and thus change Cathy's physique, and it should not be rushed. He intends to stay in the Acubador star system for a while, waiting for things to be done.
However, when he returned to the Angel hangar, he immediately received a message from Nehmia, saying that Keylnia had just sent a message that he should return to the Dillard star system if there were no special circumstances, because Nova had returned.
He felt that the female executive was making a bit of a fuss, and Nova would come back when she came back, if it was referring to the discovery of Athena's traces in the territory of the Monya Empire, wouldn't it be okay to just let Nova rush over to investigate? Why do you have to go back to the Dillard star system to meet?
It wasn't until he arrived at the bridge and learned the full message that he realized what had happened------ Nova's return was not the key, the key was that Miss Agent brought back a drag oil bottle with a special identity.
Before, he had been wondering where Nova was going, and he thought it had something to do with Black 5. Anyway, I didn't expect her to run to the Lunal star system and get Yeager over.
Thinking of that stubborn young man, he was two heads and two years old, and he didn't know what to do with the only flesh and blood left in the world by the veteran, and after thinking about it for a long time, he could only ask Hoffman to give him more care and make the young man's life better.
This is the best he can do for the veteran in the face of Jaeger's hatred of himself.
However, Kyrnia mentioned Yeager in the text message that the young man had changed a lot compared to before, otherwise he would not have rushed back to meet him as soon as possible.
"Will this kid give himself another scene that is difficult to guard against as a thief?" I complained in my heart, considering that Cathy's physical transformation process will take some time, he is just sitting and waiting here. Neither Yingluo's side, nor the reconstruction of the El Zerofield drilling system, nor the genetic experiments led by Abbather, could help much, so he decided to leave the Akubardo star system and return to the Morning Star Casting Base Camp to meet with Jager.
After careful planning for the rest of the work, he left the Angel early the next morning and piloted the eagle into the void.
………………
About 20 hours later, the Eagle entered the Dillard star system through a safe corridor and landed on the main space station in the high-altitude orbit of Christiel.
It was another three hours before he waited for Nova and Yeager in the C break room.
It could be seen that the young man's mood was not very good, and his eyes were a little red and swollen, as if he had just cried. It was only after Nova told him why Jaeger was like this.
Her trip to the Lunal star system not only solved Jaeger's problem, but also brought Valeria's ashes back with her and buried them with the veteran. They were not fated to be together in life, and they can be together after death, which can be regarded as a kind of consummation to some extent......
Miss Agent's actions really impressed him. You must know that she was cold to everyone in the past, and that face seemed to be as much as someone else owed her, so cold that it was a little unkind.
As a result, it was the girl who seemed to have the greatest disagreement with the world that made the recent human affection. She used her own efforts to repair the rift between Yeager and the veteran, and she could rest assured that she would come to Aros Spring.
"Things used to happen...... It was me who was wrong. After waiting for Nova to finish, Yeager walked up to him and said in a sincere tone, "I'm sorry. ”
He suddenly turned his face and said, "If you want me to forgive you...... I must be promised one condition. ”
Jaeger pursed his lips, waiting for him to say the rest of the story.
Tang Fang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and the solemnity on his face suddenly turned into a playful smile, completely devoid of the solemnity just now: "It's very simple, forget about those unpleasant things, and face the next life with a positive attitude." ”
Miss Agent shook her head. Yeager had a stunned expression, he didn't expect Tang Fang to joke with him just when he met, and he didn't take the assassination on the Dreadnought-class fortress ship to heart at all.
Is this the military-industrial overlord that the Silver Eagle Regiment is talking about? Is this the source of the chaos that makes the powerful of the world tremble? He is simply an ordinary person without the slightest shelf.
