Chapter XXXVII: The True Purpose of the Imperial Army
(Ask for collection, recommend ~ thanks to the 08A brothers for the reward ~)
On the way forward, Tang Fang has been thinking about one thing, why can the fungus blanket tumor that can only be placed on the fungus blanket in the game hatch in the strong acid vapor area, could it be that these acidic solutions with super corrosive power are an organic matter similar to the fungus blanket?
An organic solution that even the titanium armor of a space battleship can melt? How is this possible!
Obviously, no one can answer this question.
Because the self-replication skill of the fungus blanket tumor requires a certain cooldown time, and it must be recovered for a period of time before it can continue to be used, the speed of the three of them is not fast, and it only takes nearly an hour to advance about two kilometers.
According to the rotation speed of Na'vi, it is already dawn, and the tepid light of the tranquil star shines into the strong acid vapor area, and through the scattering of the cloudy liquid floating in the air, it brings a dark light to the entire fog area.
Tang Fang turned off the searchlight on his shoulder, looked up and glanced around, the edge of the fungus blanket was foggy, and he didn't know how much distance there was ahead.
"Tang Fang, you check the magnetic reading." At that moment, Aros's voice was full of surprise from the communicator.
According to what he said, when his eyes swept over the curve drawn based on the scan results, Tang Fang couldn't help but be surprised, the magnetic reading in the nearby area was very high, and the curve fluctuated extremely violently.
This is the case when it comes to the presence of some very high-energy active electromagnetic field, and it doesn't look like a dead place at all.
"Aros, what do you think about this?"
"It seems that this Nami star is far from being as simple as we imagined."
Tang Fangshen nodded thoughtfully, "um".
As for why it is necessary to defeat the Sulu Empire and win the development rights of Na'vi, the military's statement is that Na'vi's crust contains precious mineral resources deep in the earth's crust, which can bring huge economic and military benefits to the empire.
Tang Fang has always scoffed at this statement, what precious mineral resources, it's just fart! If it's really just a mineral resource, can it be used to recruit the Archimedes? Doesn't the Thunder Fleet have its own exploration ships and research ships?
Also, when Alfred had a conversation with Joanna, he had explained that the mission of the scientific research ship was to decipher and decode the work, and when he came down from the Archimedes on a space transport plane, he noticed that there were more than a dozen "Trailr" class scientific research ships of the same model as the Archimedes moored behind the Thunder Fleet. THIS KIND OF NONSENSE IS LIKE BIAO'S CALL, ONLY THE MENTALLY HANDICAPPED CAN BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
Just as Tang Fang was frowning and thinking, one of the insects that was supposed to continue to hatch the fungus blanket suddenly stopped and gave him a message that it could not hatch in the designated place.
"Huh?" Tang Fang's heart was shocked, and his attention turned to the insect queen, and through guò's vision sharing, he saw a very strange scene.
Directly in front of the position where the queen of worms stood was an imposing rock building, which stood out from a distance in the basin of the entire strong acid vapor zone.
Of course, this is not the most bizarre. To Tang Fang's astonishment, the exterior wall of this rock building, which covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters and is mostly shrouded in acid mist, is carved with a strange rune similar to the Greek letter ε.
"Ipsion! It's actually the ruins of the Ipsilon! He couldn't help but exclaim.
"What!" Aros frowned: "What did you say?" Ipsilone? ”
Tang Fang did not answer, beckoned to the two, and ran forward. Aros and Hausen glanced at each other and hurried to catch up.
At this time, the fungus blanket has spread to the foot of the rock building, because there is no organic acid to provide nutrients, the fungus blanket cannot cover the surface of the building, so it is impossible to remove the acid mist suspended above the rock building.
Overall, it is a platform building with a standard square stone base and a diamond-shaped extension of the upper part of the structure.
The rock mass is a pale reddish-brown color, with a smooth appearance and a dense structure. Even after being immersed in the strong acid mist for countless years, it is still intact and as bright as ever.
"It's really the ruins of the Epsilon Dragon! I didn't expect there to be such a thing on Nami. ”
Aros and Hausen stared at the majestic building that towered hundreds of meters into the fog, their faces full of shock.
"No wonder, no wonder, so it is." Tang Fang exhaled a breath of turbidity, and instantly figured out all the passes, what kind of mineral resources the Mengya Empire was plotting, but the ruins of the Ipsilon on this Nami star.
Ipsilon, which is a Greek alphabet and a code name, is the name given to a certain high-level civilization by humans.
Two hundred and forty years ago, the moon was hit by a meteorite with a diameter of more than two kilometers, and the news shook the world, and the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, China and other countries with the ability to land on the moon have landed on the moon to launch an investigation into the impact event.
A few months after the incident, a well-known European media disclosed an important piece of information, the meteorite was torn apart in the process of impacting the moon, and a small spacecraft suspected of being aliens appeared in the impact crater.
After the release of this information, it immediately caused an uproar in the international community, and in the face of public opinion's doubts, the media broke out a set of video data taken by a satellite around the moon, thus proving the authenticity of the information.
As a satellite of the earth, the moon does not belong to any country or individual, it is shared by all mankind, and such acts by several major countries are tantamount to theft of common human property.
Fueled by some countries in Western Europe that have not benefited from it, the international situation has become turbulent, and the United Nations Security Council has become even more agitated. Under pressure from the international community, China, which aims to be a leader in the third world, took the lead in easing tensions with its neighbors and neighboring regions by taking the lead in disclosing technical information obtained from a certain part of the spacecraft. Then there is the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Russia.
Based on these technical data, with the unremitting efforts of scientists from all over the world, after ten years, mankind finally cracked the most valuable alien technology on this small spaceship, and applied it to the human technology tree, developing a warp engine that can fly beyond the speed of light in space. Since then, human civilization has entered a new era and entered the era of great galaxies.
Later, with the completion of spacecraft one after another, countries began to send scientific research expeditions to the outer space of the solar system, and during the decade of rapid development of aerospace science and technology, mankind discovered some scientific and technological buildings similar to the small spaceship on the planets not too far away from the solar system.
Tong Guò studied and analyzed the technology used in these barren buildings, and thus derived one after another extremely advanced scientific research results, including the famous planetary atmosphere modification, quantum slipstream communication, controllable nuclear fusion reactor, source zero refining technology, etc., which greatly enriched the scientific and technological tree of human beings in the field of astronautics, and laid a solid foundation for the formation of the Earth Federation, colonization of the universe, and expansion of star maps in the future.
As an unknown civilization that has brought great technological changes to mankind, because its race totem resembles the Greek alpha ε bet, the federal government has used "Ipsisaurus" as the name of their race.
However, it is a pity that as the mentor and predecessor of human civilization, for more than 200 years, human beings have not been fortunate enough to meet any Ipsisaurus, in the vast cosmic sea, except for those abandoned technological buildings, and the broken warships that have sunk into the sand, they seem to have suddenly evaporated from this universe, only these ruins and spaceship wreckage, still telling the world about their former glory.
Looking at the vicissitudes of life and the magnificent ancient ruins in front of him, Tang Fang sighed lightly, if it was placed in the federal era more than a hundred years ago, there might be many pilgrims here to remember and mourn these great deceased who were like prophets to mankind.
However, today, these Ipsisaurus ruins have faded from their former aura in the eyes of humans, and are no longer sacred, but have become something similar to a future technology reserve.
As beings beyond human civilization, the places where they once lived and lived naturally retain the unique technology of the Ipsisaurus clan, and through the analysis and study of these technologies, it is very likely that human beings can obtain a new technology from it, which can be applied to the current scientific system, so as to develop more advanced things.
Like the power armor of the Sulu Empire, the Zero Source Element refining technology of the Monya Empire, the precision drones of the Sauron Empire, the laser weapons of the Charles Federation, etc., these universe-renowned unique technologies have all benefited from the development of the Epsilon Ruins.
The discovery of each relic may represent the advent of a new technology, a new weapon, or even a new type of warship. In the context of today's era of cosmic chaos and fragmentation, you can imagine how precious it is.
Sometimes, over the question of the ownership of a monument, countries even go to war with each other.
Take Nami Star as an example, according to Tang Fang's judgment, the existence of the ruins of the Zài Ipsi Dragon on the planet should only be known to the Monya Empire, and the Sulu Empire is still in the dark.
The two sides take the central equator of Na'vi Star as the border of the Chu River and the Han River, and each occupies half of the country, and in common sense, in a modern military war, the logistics support base must be placed in the rear, so as not to be directly exposed to the enemy's artillery fire and beheaded.
He didn't know where the base of the Sulu Empire was, but from the analysis of the location of the front-line outposts, it was at least 2,000 kilometers away from the equator, and on the side of the Monya Empire, the base was actually built less than 1,400 kilometers away from the equator, so close to the distance, it can be said that it was directly exposed to the threat of medium-range missiles. Even in this era, missile interception technology is very mature, and the enemy's medium-range missiles will not play a big role, but just imagine that when facing the pressure of the enemy's missiles, it is necessary to deal with a joint strike from the ground and low-altitude units, and in this case, the pressure on the front-line troops can be imagined.
This is also why the Tang side received that "the Sulu Empire is arranging a missile base in an area not far from the equator, and the headquarters wants him to find out the truth of the intelligence and find out the deployment of troops".
But now that I think about it, the whole thing can't be speculated according to common sense at all, why the base of the 3789th Division was built there, I'm afraid that there are other reasons, and it has to be done.
The most likely thing is that the ruins of the Ipsilons are near the base, or even directly inside the base, so that interfering with equipment and fortifications will block enemy reconnaissance and protect the ruins from the Sulu Empire to the greatest extent.
I think it was a little strange for the Tang side to see that the 3789th Division did not want to attack and put on a defensive posture, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is to delay time, so that the scientific research ships anchored behind the Thunder Fleet can step up their efforts to decipher the rune code and obtain the Ipsilon technology.
As long as you can get your hands on the number of jù, even if you lose the battle, Na'vi's resource development rights will fall into the hands of the Sulu Empire. For the side of the Mengya Empire, it was also a superficial loss, but in fact it took a great advantage.
The soldiers are not tired of deceit, it is really a good hand to repair the plank road openly, and secretly Chen Cang's conspiracy tricks. Tang Fang couldn't help but secretly admire the guy who planned this combat strategy.
If you let the two sides know that there is not only one Epsilon ruin on this planet, but there is another one in this strong acid vapor area, you don't know how the two sides will feel.
"Hey, you see."
Just when he was immersed in thinking about the Nami Star battle situation and ignoring the surrounding environment, Haosen's voice came from the communicator, and when he turned his head, he realized that the guy who was originally standing next to him had run to the foot of the ruins at some point.
"You guy, don't move, who knows if it's going to be dangerous." Aros said with a frown.
"What's the danger of that?" Hausen gave him a blank look, as we all know, the Ipsilons disappeared into this universe for some unknown reason, and all the relics left behind became ownerless, how could it be dangerous.
Ignoring Aros's warning, Hausen took a step forward, and it was only then that Don Fang saw what he was treading on the soles of his feet.
(Nearly 4,000 words of big chapter, more tired, that's all for today, and 6,000 for compensation tomorrow.) It's still in the new book period, so I'll leave Monday's recommendation ticket to everyone. Little A, thank you~)
