Chapter 49 Where the Pipe Network Converges
(Thank you for being unrelated, thank you to Brother 08A, and the recommendation ticket for Lian Feng Lin Meng.)
Every time I send a chapter, I have to read the acceptance speech as if I have to nag again~ Well, do you want to add thanks to CCAV at the end? ~laughs~)
"Oh my God...... Better! It was a long time before a low sigh from Hausen came from the communicator.
Tang Fang swallowed his saliva, stared blankly at the black layer of bat demons on the ceiling at the end of his sight, and was speechless for a long time, just from the density, I am afraid that there are more than 200 of them.
Aros moved his neck: "What should I do?" ”
"What to do? Needless to say. No sooner had they finished speaking, an assault force of zealots, machine gunners, and raiders appeared in front of the trio.
It was still the Zealots who were in the vanguard, and the Marauders and Gunners were behind the hall, and along the gap between the three rows of large mechanical modules, the flood generally flooded forward.
Haosen didn't wait for Tang Fang to greet him, roared angrily, shook off his bloated arms, and ran forward with a twist, and Tang Fang and Aros shook their heads at each other, and also walked to follow.
The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and the bat demon group on the ceiling also spotted the menacing intruder in the distance, and after the initial commotion, they actually calmed down and did not attack these uninvited guests.
"What's going on?" Tang Fang frowned, feeling a little strange.
Aros was also puzzled, according to past experience, these bat demons with low intelligence would launch an overwhelming offensive before the fanatics approached, what happened this time? Actually hibernated: "It's weird! ”
The two of them were stunned, Haosen interspersed with the long-range troops had gradually approached those bat demons, the machine gunners with a long range in the front row had already fired, and countless metal nails cut through the sky, bringing bursts of sharp sonic booms, falling on the bat demon group like a rain of arrows, bringing a rain of blood.
The Inquisitor grenade dragged a silvery-white tracer in midair, and the hail hit the center of the bat demon group, exploding countless dazzling fragments like scattered flowers of the Celestial Maiden.
Wounded bat demons fall like dumplings, and what awaits them will be a bloody massacre of fanatics.
The bat demon group exploded at once, and the commotion spread uncontrollably, and some chose to fight back, but with their range, they were no match for the C-14 "Piercing" Gauss rifle, and before they could fly in front of them, they were beaten into a large shower with blood gushing out of a volley.
Others chose to attack the Zealot, and as the bowels beneath the two tentacles squirmed, puddles of dark green acid solution sprayed down from the sky, creating ripples on the pale blue plasma shield before being evaporated.
The corpses in the ground piled up more and more, and the panic spread like a plague in the demon group, and a few bat demons flapped their wings and fled into the distance, they were afraid!
One by one, with little effort, more and more bat demons chose to follow the trend and flee.
Tang Fang frowned, don't look at this qiē as expected, but he suddenly had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, and he felt as if he was being stared at tightly by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, like a mang's back, like a stalk in his throat.
"Haha, don't run!" Hausen held up the K-12 quadruple grenade launcher in his hand, and the Inquisitor grenade kissed the butt of the batdemon that landed behind as if he didn't want money, and the fragments rich in neurotoxin and concussive energy caused their speed to drop sharply, and they were strafed by the machine gunners catching up from behind, and they fell from mid-air screaming.
Aloes, who was walking side by side with Tang Fang in the back, was still so sad and unhappy, and his face was expressionless, but if he looked closely, he could find a trace of worry occasionally flowing under his eyes.
Haosen chased a few more steps forward, and came to an open area where crystal pipes and ultra-long diodes were intertwined and converged, and suddenly stopped suddenly.
"Don ...... Tang Fang, I suddenly had a very bad feeling. ”
"You feel it too?" Tang Fang's voice was low and hoarse.
Hausen pointed to a wall beside him: "There seems to be something in here!" ”
"Something? What is it! At this time, Tang Fang and Aros also rushed over.
The cone-shaped machinery and the large particle collider-like equipment along the road suddenly broke off at this point, and looking in the direction of the bat demon's flight, the open area stretched to the end of the line of sight, and some new mechanical modules were vaguely visible.
The crystal pipes and ultra-long diodes that can be hugged by three people converge in the center of an open area nearly a kilometer away, and their movements change abruptly, sinking into the gap in the wall on the left.
"Huh?" Tang Fang's gaze swept over the wall on the left, and suddenly found a huge ε character on the surface of the wall where the pipe network converged: "This is ...... A door? ”
Beckoning the two of them to approach the engraved runes, Haosen looked around the wall, couldn't help but feel excited, and a cold air surged from the soles of his feet: "Tang Fang, can you think clearly, the things behind this give me a very weird feeling." ”
Tang Fang didn't say a word, his eyes looked directly at the ε character who was ten meters square and flowed with a mercury-like light.
Unlike Aros and Hausen, in addition to a bad premonition, he also had an indescribable restlessness in his heart, as if something was calling him.
Looking at the people and the soldiers of the two gods who were surrounded behind him, and then at the Zerg units in the system interface, as well as the resource values that had soared to 5810,3670, Tang Fang gritted his teeth and pressed his hand.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. With so many combat units and a lot of savings to squander, he was confident that he would be able to handle even a team of statue guards. Taking a step back, can't beat it? You can still escape!
From the trend of the pipe network, it can be seen that the room on the other side of the door must be very important, since the spiritual energy fluctuations of the statue guard can activate the Protoss technology, there are higher-level psionic cores in the Baobu.
If this is a "star gate", wouldn't it be a big profit.
"I can't bear the ticket, I can't get a beautiful girl." In a word, spelled.
The palms of their hands were getting closer and closer to the characters, and Aros and Hausen were ready for battle, each holding up their weapons.
However, before Tang Fang's hand could touch ε character, as a faint blue streamer flashed, the rune turned, and the door opened.
The three of them were startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
A few breaths passed, and there was no danger as he imagined, Tang Fang raised his eyes and looked into the distance, through the rune gate nearly twenty meters high, he could see layers of precision machinery, like the grandstand above the ancient Roman Colosseum, surrounded by an energy shield surging with azure light waves.
After making sure that there was no danger for the time being, the three of them cautiously stepped through the rune gate.
It is an 800-meter-square room with a ceiling-to-floor distance of nearly a kilometer.
A network of golden flames and purple lightning surged through the rune gate, spanning hundreds of meters, and finally pouring into the central energy shield from top to bottom.
After the three of Tang Fang entered the door, the position was the upper floor of the building, countless precision instruments were arranged in a circle, shrinking downward with a trapezoidal slope, looking down through the narrow gap between the circular energy cover that occupied almost half of the entire room and the layered machinery, under the faint blue background light, the control panels of each operation console shimmered with colorful light, like the Milky Way star belt at night.
The energy shield with a diameter of up to 400 meters, the ladder equipment modules with hundreds of layers, and the seven-colored light reflected on the energy shield like neon. Magnificent! Magnificent!
The three of them were stunned, and even a guy like Aros, who was not interested in anything, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "DAMNIT, what the hell are the Ipsilons doing here!" ”
"Tang Fang, door...... The door is closed. Just when Tang Fang's expression was moved, Haosen suddenly pulled him and pointed behind him.
The two of them looked back, and the rune door that had been open earlier had closed at some point.
Tang Fang's face sank, he stepped forward and put his hand on the ε character, but there was no movement, and the one-meter-thick rune gate did not move at all.
"We're locked inside." After speaking, he glanced to the sides again, but did not find a control panel that could control the opening and closing of the door.
"You see, there's a door on the other side, too."
Looking along Hausen's point, he saw an identical rune gate directly opposite, and in the same way, countless pipe networks entered from outside the door, and finally converged into the central energy shield.
"Sure enough, this room filled with precision instruments is the central hub, where the flow of energy and matter converge."
Taking a deep breath, Don looked at Aroth, only to see that he was blind to the rune gate on the other side, and his eyes were all focused on the energy shield.
"Aros, what are you looking at?"
"Tang Fang, take a closer look at the pipes that run through the ceiling."
When Tang Fang heard this, he looked up, and saw that above the pipeline network composed of crystal pipes, ultra-long "diodes", and countless cable-like hoses, dark red organic matter pipes similar to the inferior intestines of the centipede monster seen on the ground of Planet 5 passed through the energy shield and reached the roof, intertwining into a spiderweb-like structure, and opening dense holes of various sizes on the ceiling where guns and cannons were injure, and what was even more amazing was that they kept wriggling, like living creatures.
"We seem to have come to a terrible place, and perhaps this Na'i star has an unusual meaning to the Ipsi Dragons." Aros exhaled a puff of steaming and tumbling smoke and said quietly.
Haosen slammed his fist on the rune gate: "Is it useful to say so much?" What we have to worry about right now is how to get out. ”
"If you come, you will be safe." Tang Fang glanced at the two of them: "Let's go, go below." ”
"Why?" Hausen asked.
Tang Fang glanced at him, did not answer, and after recalling the combat unit, he walked towards the lifting platform not far away.
Aros gave him the same look, picked up his gun, and followed closely behind.
"Am I stupid to ask?" Haosen looked at the distant backs of the two and couldn't help but sigh.
……
After about 5 minutes, the lifting platform slowly stopped at the bottom of the room, and the three of them walked down and walked slowly to a high platform at the front.
The so-called control center is far from the human-computer interaction interface similar to the ship's control platform in the imagination, but a psionic flame suspended in mid-air, surrounded by countless unfamiliar characters.
On either side of the icy flame, there were silky silver filaments that fluttered like cotton wool.
"Hey, what is this?" Haosen was curious that the baby's problem had been committed again, and without waiting for Tang Fang to speak, he stretched out the hand that caused countless troubles towards the central flame.
"Idiot, why don't you think there's enough trouble?"
Fearing that this thing would continue to commit crimes, Aros paid almost eighty percent of his attention to the hand that he hated to chop off and throw to feed the dogs. Haosen's hand was fast, he was faster, and directly grabbed the former's wrist and took advantage of the situation to say goodbye.
"Ah......" came a pig-killing scream: "Aros, what are you doing?" ”
"Hmph, save your life!"
Tang Fang turned a blind eye to the dispute between the two people around him, and all his attention was focused on the psionic flame in front of him, and it was not until this moment that he was sure that the kind of fluctuation similar to the spiritual summoning he felt before came from the psionic flame in front of him.
Along the way, after seeing the mechanical facilities in the ruins, he suddenly had a very ridiculous feeling.
Purely from the perspective of mechanical manufacturing technology, the technology of the Ipsilons can be said to be extremely similar to human technology, but in key places, they are very different, such as the flame-shaped control center in front of them.
If you have to describe it intuitively, the technology of Ipsilon's seems to combine the characteristics of the human and god races in StarCraft, thus forming a very special and grotesque style.
Why does a race develop two distinct styles of technology? What's going on?
Tang Fang pondered for a long time, until the two people next to him stopped arguing, and then he came back to his senses, shook his head unconsciously, and smiled bitterly.
Just like the question of "how did the Ipsi dragons disappear", countless experts and scholars have studied and debated for more than 200 years, but they have not found even a certain clue.
As a layman, why should he waste time and energy and get entangled in such issues.
Thinking of this, he no longer bothered to disassemble the armor module on his arm.
Hausen watched as he unloaded his armor, and then his hands reached out towards the psionic flames.
"Hey, Aroth, why did you only stop me and not him?"
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Aros answer, Hausen turned his head to look, only to see the middle-aged veteran looking at the round energy shield on his head with a frightened expression.
Haosen subconsciously looked up, and when the terrifying scene in the sky came into view, he couldn't help but gasp, and his stomach qi as cold as a knife flew all the way, almost freezing the two waist flowers into ice ballast.
The energy shield was rapidly dissolving at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and through the light blue light curtain that was getting thinner and lighter, I saw a sarcoma-like behemoth, slowly opening its scarlet eyes that occupied most of its body, and throwing a cold gaze towards the place where the three of them were standing, as if they were in a boundless prison.
"Tang Fang, what have you done!"
In Haosen's roar, Tang Fang suddenly withdrew his outstretched hands like an electric shock, and subconsciously frowned and replied, "I didn't do anything." ”
After speaking, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was different, and he couldn't help but take a look, and in an instant, the Baihui acupoints were numb, and the whole scalp exploded.
(4000 word chapters, it's not good to split two chapters, I sent them together, but I didn't have them at night.) )
