Chapter 357: The Mechanical Table

Compared with the huge reserves of high-energy electrons in the electron sea, he can only actively use a negligible part, plus Freya "recharges" him from time to time, the energy level of the electron sea will only increase, not decrease.

However, the act of blessing the mind just now caused the electron sea to shrink in a circle, and the transparent crystalline almost swallowed up one-tenth of the high-energy electrons.

Looking down at the crystals of the golden light flowing in the center of the ring tray, and then looking at the spiritual energy flames condensed in the center of the high platform in front of him, Tang Fang blinked and looked confused. Could it be ...... Could it be that the high-energy electrons stored in the electron sea can activate psionic flames that have lost their energy and fallen into dormancy?

The Ipsi Dragons can manipulate electrical energy, and the psionic flame belongs to another form of quantum computer, and it makes sense that the runes in the center of their eyebrows combined with the high-energy electron flow of the electron sea can awaken it.

"Wait for me here, don't run around." With a command to Freya, Tang Fang stepped onto the high platform, stretched out his hands, and let the light silk gently attach to the back of his hand.

"Psionic fluctuations detected, diagnostics start ......"

"The diagnosis is complete, and the adaptive star spirit is confirmed."

"Perform Frequency Parsing ......"

"Wave Level B, Leap Tree Unlock, Tech Level 2, Unlock Building 'Mechanical Table'."

Mechanical table? It's a mechanical table! A Protoss tech building equivalent to the Terran Heavy Factory.

"Finally, there are new Protoss units to use." Tang Fang suppressed the impulse in his heart, and while ordering Emma to extract the available information in the psionic flame, he put his attention into the system space, turned to the Protoss base, and casually commanded the probe to put down the mechanical platform in the irradiation range of the crystal tower.

A few seconds later, with a flash of light, the mechanical table took shape.

Select the building and look at the production menu in the lower right corner. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, 6 kinds, a total of 6 units, in addition to the detector (jingle), leaping prism, immortal, giant elephant in the 2nd generation, there are also transport planes and gold beetles in the interstellar 1 era.

Among these 6 units, except for the Golden Beetle and the Giant Elephant, they have not yet been unlocked due to the lack of support from the Mechanical Research Institute. Uncontrollable, the remaining 4 bells have been highlighted and unlocked, ready to be produced and built.

As before, Tang Fang first moved the cursor to the first production item, the detector, the reconnaissance unit of the Protoss, is similar to the Zerg Eyeworm and the Terran Iron Crow, but because it is a creation of the Protoss. It's more powerful and more technological.

The Observer is actually a small drone that is used to detect vast wastelands and record battles for the Astral Archive. Their sophisticated detection devices can detect enemy stealth units very easily. Due to the small size of the Observer, it uses up all of its energy to keep the Detection Device running, thus weakening the unit's defenses in order to compensate for this shortcoming. The Observer is equipped with a mini-stealth force field, which allows them to escape from the enemy's line of sight.

The detector has 3 major accessories. One. A miniature stealth force field that can disturb the light so that units that are not equipped with advanced detection systems cannot detect the observer's whereabouts. The housing of the detector is made of porous material. It can refract light and shield the observer's own weak energy signature, further enhancing its invisibility ability; Second, the induction matrix. The observer has a complex array of lenses with autofocus, powered by a psionic grid, allowing the observer to analyze the battlefield from vantage points in the air. It can easily lock on to submerged units, crack any camouflage, or stealth systems. Nothing escapes the all-seeing eye of the observer; Third, the thruster and the detector mainly rely on a thruster that creates a gravitational field to move, and the "fins" at the tail of the thruster will be covered with energy and generate the aforementioned gravitational field to create lift-off force and propulsion. Unmodified, the thrusters are enough to move the observer to a fixed point, but this power is still difficult to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, and only by adding a gravity accelerator can there be a chance to escape.

The Observer costs 25 crystals, 75 gas, and occupies 1 population, which is the same as in the game. Compared with the resource consumption of iron crows and king insects, it can be described as a small thing.

In addition to reconnaissance capabilities, the Iron Crow has hunting missiles, fixed-point defense target aircraft, and Guanyin sitting on the lotus, which belongs to the integrated combat, reconnaissance, and defense units. The king insect is polluted, mimicking chicks, takes a strange route, and is a reconnaissance + combat auxiliary unit. However, the detector is only capable of detection, and it is a small drone with pure blood, and it is understandable that it is low in cost.

After unlocking the Observer, it is more useful than the Immortals and the Teleportation Prism from a strategic perspective. The low cost and occupation of 1 population make it possible for Tang Fang to produce detectors in large quantities without worrying about pain. The stealth force field it is equipped with is impossible to penetrate with the current level of human technology, if the detector is deployed and infiltrated throughout the battlefield and even the enemy's rear in wartime. So, isn't every move of the opponent under your nose?

This is more powerful and more concealed than the remote listening of the star rail command center, the over-the-horizon monitoring of the eye worm, and the multi-mode scanning of the iron crow. Furthermore, if it is connected to Emma's combat command network, how much will it increase the overall combat power of your own units?

Next, Tang Fang moved the cursor to the second production item, and after a little thought, he turned to the third production item, and then frowned. The second production item is the "transport machine", and the third production item is the "refolding prism". Both of these are the main short-distance means of transportation for the Protoss. Compared with the "transport aircraft", the "refractoring prism" is more advanced in function and has a variety of uses than the former.

Think about the ghost thing, logically speaking, with the intelligent Cheng dù of the interstellar 2 system, such a thing should not occur.

The cost of the "transport plane" is 600 crystals, which occupies 2 of the population, and the "refractory prism" actually costs 1000 crystals, which occupies 2 of the population. The "Transporter" costs 3 times as much as the game mode, and the "Refrilling Prism" is 5 times as expensive as the game mode. That is, the body length of the "transport aircraft" is between 30-40 meters, and the "refractorial prism" is more than 50 meters.

For thousands of years, the Star Spirit has been studying the nature of space-time and has discovered many mysteries in the universe. Through the Guò Psychic refining process, Xing Ling mastered the technology of making an automaton brain and stored it in the zài advanced lattice molecules, this "crystal brain" can precisely manipulate matter and energy, and the brains of ordinary creatures cannot be compared. The primary purpose of the Revelator Prism is to transport troops on the battlefield, but it can also be switched to phase mode to recharge nearby buildings if necessary. in phase mode. The Reveling Prism can be used to temporarily replace a destroyed Crystal Tower, or to expand rapidly.

Similar to the detector, the Prism has three system modules. First, the dual-mode system, which allows the "refractory prism" to switch between transport mode and phase mode. In phase mode, the "Prism of Refrillation" can be built for nearby spirits. Even the combat unit can replenish its energy, and it can also send a signal for the soldiers to be teleported to their destination through the gateway. However, in this mode of operation, the Hop Prism cannot be moved; Second, the highly conductive shell, the shell of the "refractory prism" is composed of a highly conductive structure, which can absorb most kinds of energy, especially light. Inside the shell are thousands of tiny psionic receivers that can bend the energy of the prism crystal core and project psionic energy into its structure, forming so-called "flying wings", which are the main navigation sensors on the prism and are very tough. Third, the mechanical core, the processing core of the "refractory prism" is a set of advanced computing systems. Embedded in complex lattice molecules, it transcends the limitations of time and space. Not only does it exist within its ontology, but it is also beyond it, which gives it the ability to regulate matter and energy, and to process an infinite amount of information between thoughts.

After carefully recalling the introduction of the "Refractory Prism" in the game, Tang Fang gradually figured out that the reason for this is that the "Transport" and the "Refractory Prism" are fundamentally different.

The former is the same as the Terran transport aircraft. It is a manned aircraft, and it is the Star Spirit people who drive the "transport ship". The "Prism" is different in that it is an unmanned machine that can process data on its own and then carry out corresponding actions.

On the other hand. In terms of transmission technology, there is also a big difference between the two, the working method of the "transport ship" is based on the relevant technology in the field of gravitons, and the storage and transmission combat units use traction beams. The "Hopping Prism" uses quantum teleportation technology, in which the target, whether organic or inorganic, is converted into energy, and the unique energy information of each unit is labeled in the lattice molecule.

Tong Guò consulted Emma, and Tang confirmed his speculation. Although the crystal brain of the "Jumping Prism" is very powerful and can accurately control its own energy, which is far from being comparable to the ordinary biological brain, however, as an unmanned machine, it is equipped with a high-energy consumption system such as quantum transmission and phase conversion module, with its only 50-meter body, the energy contained is limited, and it cannot adapt to the combat environment with ultra-long-range and high-endurance requirements. The "transport ship" is different, after all, it is controlled by humans, and it is better than the "refractory prism" in terms of endurance, flexibility, and strain.

"Tsk, tsk." Tang Fang let out two heartfelt admirations, don't look at every time a new technology is unlocked, the system prompt sound is unchanged, coldly like the extinction of the gods, but well, at the level of intelligence, it is really not covered.

Finally, he moved the cursor to the famous "Immortal", as an upgraded version of the Dragon Knight, the "Immortal" has a more ornate appearance and more powerful attack power.

Prior to the fall of the El, Astral Warriors who were disabled in battle could voluntarily implant their broken limbs into the Dragon Knight's exoskeleton in order to continue serving the race. Unfortunately, with the fall of the El, this technology was also lost in the ruins of the Astral Home. The remaining dragon knights, now known as the Immortals, are equipped with double-barreled phase fragmentation cannons and Fortitude shields, and these heavy armor and shields are capable of withstanding enemy long-range artillery fire and providing vital support to their own forces.

The Immortals are equipped with two Phase Fragmentation Cannons that have been upgraded from the original Dragon Knight's weapon system, which can fire antimatter projectiles covered in pure energy. The impact from the shell can easily make a big hole in heavy armor, but the range of the jamming cannon limits the Immortals from hitting air targets. In terms of defense, the Immortals are equipped with the latest type of Fortitude Shield, which is a new technology that mixes energy from different frequencies and wavelengths to create a dense force field, which is enough to cushion the attacks of large ground troops such as Terran siege tanks and Zerg thunderbeasts. In addition to this, the Immortals have a stronger, more stable life support system, as their bodies are already in tatters, and Immortal Pilots must be immersed in a sterile nutrient solution containing many micro-machines to protect their damaged bodies. The micromachines repair aging tissues and destroy any foreign material that could penetrate the cabin due to damage to the enclosure, while the driver's heart rate, brain activity, and biological functions are also regulated by the micromachines.

Because it's an upgraded version of the Dragon Knight. The attack and defense have been greatly improved, and the cost is also rising, requiring 250 crystals, 100 gas, and 4 populations.

As for the remaining golden beetles and giant elephants. The Mechanical Research Institute must be unlocked before it can be produced.

Although this time the Protoss building "Mechanical Platform" has been unlocked, and the only pure offensive unit added is "Immortal", however, it is not a little bit or two to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the troops.

In StarCraft 2, the Immortals are comparable to siege tanks, and based on past experience, it is speculated that it will be more powerful in reality. The "Refractory Prism" is equipped with a powerful quantum teleportation device, since it can transmit Protoss troops. That must also be able to transport human and insect units, you must know that the cost of the Terran medical transport ship is not low, and it needs to consume gas resources, while the transportation unit of the Protoss, whether it is a "refractive prism" or a "transport ship", only needs to consume crystals, and the flight speed is also fast. On the other hand, there is a "refractory prism". Small ground units like the Stalker, Mechanical Sentinel, and Dragon Knight are sure to have an increased combat endurance. The "Prism of Leaping" is inferior to the Crystal Tower, but it should not be difficult to simply extend the combat time of small units. And the detector, which goes without saying how powerful it is.

This time, although it was not possible to unlock the Protoss air unit. However, it still brought a great improvement to the level of his comprehensive combat effectiveness.

"Commander, the data is retrieved." Just when Tang Fang was hesitating to produce a few detectors to play with, Emma's voice came to his head.

"How? Do you know what the 'door' type facility does? ”

"Commander, please wait. I'll send you the relevant information that has been put together. ”

As soon as Emma's voice fell, a transmission progress bar popped up in the helmet's visual system, and then, Wen Jiàn opened it by itself, and the popularized number jù data recompiled by Emma appeared in front of Tang Fang's eyes.

However, it turns out that "Tikal" is a resident star of the Ipsilons, and as for this giant hall called "Ashtolando", it is a teleportation hub.

"No wonder...... It's no wonder that the psionic flames of the 'Gate' type facilities store the technology to unlock the mechanical table. Tang Fang nodded thoughtfully. The main product of the mechanical table, the "Refractory Prism", is similar to the "door" type facility in terms of scientific and technological composition.

In human language, the "door" facility should be called a dimensional roaming terminal. Just like the Epsilon Relay Station, which is used to build a super-warp jump tunnel for rapid interstellar travel by large ships such as warships and cargo ships, the Dimensional Roaming Terminal is also a transportation facility.

However, unlike relay stations, dimensional roaming terminals are targeted at small individuals. Compared to the interstellar transportation network composed of many relay stations, it is more technological.

To put it bluntly, the dimensional roaming terminal is like a router of a computer network, building a stable and pure wormhole through guò, and forming a dimensional tunnel across time and space to connect two points in interstellar space separated by several light-years or even dozens of light-years.

No matter how special the body structure of the epsilon is, it is also flesh and blood, and it passes through the wormhole with a mere human body, not to mention the impact of the high-energy particle flow generated by the annihilation of positive and antimatter, even the strong pressure in the wormhole is enough to squeeze the human body into meat sauce.

In order to deal with this problem, the Ipsilons invented a device called the dimensional lock, which was fixed in the dimensional tunnel composed of dimensional roaming terminals based on a certain ranking standard, which was used to expand the wormhole structure and form a stable and reliable transportation network. That is to say, the "Zero Prime Particle Space Effect Field Generator" is to create a wormhole between the equipment and the relay station that can be used by the battleship to pass through, which is composed of many continuous subspaces, and during the operation of the battleship, due to dimensional differences, these subspaces will collapse and disappear in an instant once they lose the torsional support of the zero element particle space effect field.

The dimensional tunnel network composed of multiple dimensional roaming terminals is completely different, and under the reinforcement of dimensional locks, these dimensional tunnels will always exist. After the human body enters the "door", just like the transmission mode of the "refractory prism", it will be broken up into a pure energy form, and the unique quantum information of the individual will be recorded, and then pass through the dimensional tunnel at the speed of light, reconstruct the object form at the dimensional roaming terminal of the destination, and then walk out of another "door".

This is similar to the hopping mechanic of the Protoss building "portal", but the dimensional tunnel network is safer and faster. In Tang Fang's opinion, compared to the Protoss in StarCraft, the Ipsi Dragons have natural physiological defects in quantum teleportation. The golden runes that are the carriers of the souls of the Ipsi dragons are the most inactive "dark matter" in the universe, and it neither radiates nor absorbs energy, making it difficult to record their information.

If it was just a simple construction of the body, without the golden runes of the Ipsilon, it would be just a copy of an empty shell, a dead thing. It is conceivable how many problems the Ipsilons faced in the field of quantum teleportation, however, they finally overcame this difficulty and successfully developed a teleportation device such as a dimensional roaming terminal by embedding a "special gravitational subfield" system. (To be continued......)
