Chapter 348: Protective Batteries
Tang Fang nodded, flashed and walked in front of the lieutenant colonel officer, and before he could speak, the other party spoke first: "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely be punished for your whole clan." ”
Is he begging for death? Tang Fang's eyes narrowed, and he was hesitating whether to fulfill his wish, when the figure beside him flashed, blood flashed, and a sharp knife cut into the neck artery of the lieutenant colonel officer without delay.
Blood flowed outward like a tidal wave from the wound, and in a few breaths, half of the lieutenant colonel's body was stained red.
Zhou Ai flashed out from behind the officer, pulled out the blade casually, and threw it to the left, with a "bang", the dagger sank into the neck of another soldier, and the blood sprayed on her military uniform, but Zhou Ai turned a blind eye, turned his head and said to Walton and Joey: "What are you doing in a daze, do it." ”
The expressions on the faces of the two froze, and they hesitated slightly before pulling the trigger.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The silver light broke through the air, and the remaining 22 soldiers collapsed to the ground one after another, lying in a pool of blood.
"They are all soldiers of the Ferguson family, and they are favored by the emperor, don't expect to be grateful to you if you let them go, the mercy without a bottom line will hurt you one day."
Tang Fang scratched his itchy nose and looked helplessly at Zhou Ai, who walked to his side and stood still. This girl is still so violent, bloody, ruthless and decisive, even better than Aros.
In fact, he didn't plan to let go of the crew members who were hiding in the "Silver Wheel". He knew the purpose of this group. Lancelot, Shaw? After Rogge's death, the 620-meter-long giant ship was leaderless, and the vast majority of the crew chose to flee. The journey from Lector to the end of the planet was enough time for the group in front of them to escape. According to messages from the fanatics, there are several space shuttles in the hangar. Enough for them all to evacuate.
But why didn't they leave? is still hiding in some secret cabins, I'm afraid it's just waiting for me to board the ship. Then fight an ambush battle to avenge their master. A fool will spare them from death, and he is not a saint, so there is no need to play any tricks of cutting meat and feeding eagles and throwing children. It's just a little hesitant and Zhou Ai took the lead.
Of course, he wouldn't say this, after all, Zhou Ai is also kind. As Zhou Hanlin's own granddaughter, she has a background to the imperial nobles, relationships, personnel composition and so on. Knows more than he knows.
"Let's go, go up and have a look." With that, he walked towards the connecting passage.
Claire glanced at the corpses of those soldiers with a complicated expression, sighed, and followed Tang Fang closely. She couldn't figure out why these people stayed to avenge Lancelot? For that executioner? The butcher who slaughtered millions of people in Wendenbart in a frenzy, and could not atone for his sins even if he died? Is it worth it?
They can leave safely, why should they choose this point of no return?
She couldn't figure it out. I can't understand why some people would rather be accomplices of the evil spirits of hell than climb out of the abyss, but accept it. Go and soak up the warm sunshine that pierces the haze in the sky.
Many times, people who have been in the dark for a long time will feel that the sun is very dazzling. Just like some plants like shade. Some plants are sun-loving.
Zhou Ai followed Claire into the connecting passage, from beginning to end. I didn't look at the dead bodies on the ground. It wasn't until her back disappeared into the entrance of the passage that Joey swallowed. Tugging at Walton's sleeve: "That...... What is the origin of that woman? Such a sharp skill, such a domineering momentum. ”
Walton, Joey and others were people who joined the Tang camp after the Battle of Crotan, so they naturally didn't know what happened on Planet 5, and Grant was busy with other things, so he didn't have time to explain to them, and the two didn't know Zhou Ai's background and background.
"How do I know where she came from?" Walton shrugged, and there was still a bit of horror on his face: "Anyway, no matter what her background is, be careful in the future, it's not wrong not to provoke her." I feel that this woman is more murderous than Aros and Hausen. ”
In the end, they are halfway home, and the rebel soldiers from civilian backgrounds like Walton and Joey are very different from the elite children of military families like Zhou Ai.
In fact, in addition to Walton and Joey, there was another person who looked at Zhou Ai's back thoughtfully. Bai Hao and Roy blocked Tang Yun and Yingluo's sight, but they didn't take care of Linglong.
Not far away, there was a river of blood on the dock platform, and 24 corpses fell to the ground, and some of the dead bodies were even more angry, and their faces were covered with blood, so miserable.
Except for her face being a little pale, Linglong did not show shock, screaming, paralysis and other feelings like ordinary girls. She just stared blankly at Zhou Ai's distant back, not knowing what she was thinking.
Tang Fang was not worried that Tang Yun would be frightened, or even have a psychological disorder or something, although Bai Hao and Roy were young, they always knew what to do at critical moments. Moreover, Tang Yun is not a child, after experiencing the Wendenbat tragedy, she has more or less immunity to war, death, bloodshed, etc.
Following Emma's instructions, the three of them arrived at the core of the Silver Wheel, the core catalytic chamber of the Aurora shield.
There is a gap between the imagination and the imagination, the cabin that carries the star ring is not large, only a few thousand square meters on the left and right, compared to the 620-meter hull of the "Silver Wheel", it is really a bit of a big hall for the feeling of a little ghost.
"Is this the center of the ring? What a little ......," Claire sighed as she glanced at her surroundings.
The structure of the whole cabin is very simple, there is a row of control stations on both sides of the entrance, and the platform structure is more than ten meters opposite, and there is a staircase in the center leading to the spherical sealed cabin fixed in mid-air.
Around the capsule, there are six pipes more than one meter wide that stretch out of the cabin, and from a distance, it looks like a turbine.
"Indeed, the diameter of the outer ring is almost 200 meters, and its core module is only a few thousand square meters, which is too small." Zhou Ai also echoed casually. Although she is not a professional engineer, however, when she was in the military academy, she also read a lot of books on mechanical repair, and it is hard to imagine that such a big guy is a "Aurora" shield powered by zero elements, and its core is only so small.
"Hehe, haven't you heard a word? The so-called short and concise, concentrated is the essence. Tang Fang said this half-joke. Half-flirtatious, step over to the console.
Zhou Ai's eyes widened. "Boom!" Claire next to him glanced at him vigorously: "I'm running the train with my mouth full again." ”
Tang Fang didn't care either. While following Emma's instructions to enter the command prompt, he said nonchalantly: "That's the Ipsilon device." Monks from outside will recite scriptures, and if you look at it with the eyes of a human being, it will be called unpleasant. ”
"That's right." Claire nodded earnestly.
Zhou Ai next to him looked at the gossip of the two of them as if no one was around, and unconsciously dragged Claire's back placket, and whispered: "He was teasing you just now......
Claire had a surprised expression: "Ignore him, this guy has always liked to take advantage of others." The more you care, the more you'll let him succeed. ”
Zhou Ai looked at her, and then at Tang Fang: "You two ...... It won't ......"
Claire hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'll ...... with him In fact...... Not...... What the? ”
There's nothing you dodge and dodge. A weak expression? Of course, Zhou Ai would not break it, and nodded with a smile: "Oh, oh, it seems that I am too careful." ”
"Hey, what are you two talking about?" At this time, after finishing the matter at hand, Tang Fang walked over from the console, and saw that Claire's expression was a little unnatural. But Zhou Ai had a wicked smile on his face and couldn't help but ask.
"What can women talk about, it's nothing more than men." Zhou Ai said generously.
"Men? Who is it? ”
"Is there a second man here?" Zhou Ai shrugged.
"Me, what do I have to talk about?" Tang Fang said angrily.
"Why is there nothing to talk about. You don't know, Claire made a gentleman's agreement with me. ”
Tang Fang was stunned: "A gentleman's agreement? ”
Even Claire was stupid. It's okay for a Tang Fang to run the train with his mouth full, but he didn't expect Zhou Ai's cherry blossom mouth to be also worry-free. What gentleman's agreement? How did she not know?
"Actually, it's nothing, Claire told me. You're hers and won't allow me to do it. In exchange. I'll pick the other men. Zhou Ai said lightly.
"Huh?" Tang Fang looked at Claire who looked confused, and then looked at Zhou Ai, who was in trouble, and he suddenly felt that it was a mistake to bring the two of them over.
"I ...... You...... She ......, "Claire never thought that Zhou Ai would say such a sentence, and wanted to refute it, but she didn't know how to organize the language, if she didn't refute it, she couldn't get over it."
In fact, she still has a little girl's mind in her heart that is not enough for outsiders. For this sudden addition, Zhou Ai, who seems to have a lot to do with Tang Fang, has a little sour hostility in his heart.
"Ha, look at this kid, his face is red. How about it, sister, let's avenge you, hahahaha......"
Tang Fang rubbed his forehead vigorously, this Zhou Ai is a hundred witches, and her mouth is sharp with her knife. Well, if you want to tease Claire in the future, it will become a technical job.
Claire was stunned again, Zhou Ai pushed her to the forefront, and her feelings were to fight back against Tang Fang?
"Boom...... ......At this moment, only a sound of gold and iron was heard, accompanied by the sound of air jets, and the originally tightly knit spherical sealed cabin cracked from the center and retreated to both sides.
Tang Fang woke up when he heard the sound, nodded at the second daughter, and walked towards the stairs in front.
According to Emma's instructions, after the Ghost guarding the bridge was connected to the Star Ring Energy connection, the sealed capsule responded to Tang's operation request and slowly opened, revealing the shield core inside.
"Tang Fang, be careful." Zhou Ai said worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay." It was not the Lord who answered, but Claire. Zhou Ai may not know, but she has long been surprised, like this kind of Ipsilong equipment, for ordinary people, recklessly touching two handfuls is definitely tired of life, and she is killing herself. To him, though, it was a docile little sheep.
Tang Fang nodded, smiled at the two of them, and continued to walk towards the shield core.
The core of the "Aurora" resembles a flattened ring with a silver-white body, about 35 meters in diameter, and like most Epsilon precision equipment, there is a psychic flame in the middle.
The flames were spherical, one size smaller than the ring, and they were more active than the previous psionic flames, with a glimmer of lightning flashing through the silver flames.
There is a transparent crystal in the middle of the torus and the psionic flame, which is supposed to be a central transformation device. From the side, it looks like an icy flame. With a diamond-colored glow, it is intoxicating.
Tang Fang walked over to the flames. Take a deep breath and endure the dazzling golden light. Slowly reach for the psionic flame.
It was the same as his previous experience, a circle of water rippled in the void, and the surging psionic flame core of the light wave inadvertently shot out a few rays of light, gently adhering to the back of his hand.
As the runes ε on his forehead lit up, a stream of runes flowed out from the spiritual flames, flowing down his arm into Tang Fang's forehead.
"Psionic fluctuations detected, diagnostics start ......"
"The diagnosis is complete, and the adaptive star spirit is confirmed."
"Perform Frequency Parsing ......"
"Wave level E+, the jumping tree is unlocked. Tech Level 1, unlock the building's 'Protective Battery'. ”
"Protective batteries?" Tang Fang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be a protective battery in the Interstellar 1 era, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable for the "Aurora" shield to unlock the "protective battery".
Protective Batteries, a.k.a. Armor Batteries, can help Protoss units replenish their shields quickly. In the game, when the shield of the Protoss unit is damaged in battle. Within a certain range, the armor battery can be used to quickly replenish the shield energy.
In versus mode, this thing is a chicken rib, and it's not accurate. It's a bit far-fetched to say practical. It's useful in certain situations, such as defensively. Before crossing. Tang Fang once had the pleasure of watching a VOD, a stick player with a protective battery. A single dragoon almost slaughtered dozens of units of the hostile Terran player, and finally forced the opponent to play GG.
Of course. That's the versus mode. Whether its performance will be improved in reality, Tang Fang does not know. Well, it's practical. This thing is not expensive, only 100 crystals, build a dozen in the Protoss base, which Protoss unit has no shield in the battle, directly pull it back to replenish the shield, and in the blink of an eye, it is a good man.
"Not bad, not bad." Tang Fang couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was a bonus, Lancelot contributed a heavy battleship, not to mention, and also unlocked the "protective battery" by the way.
Think about the current Protoss technology, the basic buildings have all been unlocked, and only some high-level buildings have not been unlocked.
"Sure enough, that's really the case......" Tang Fang walked all the way, laughing all the way.
Zhou Ai watched him walk down the stairs safely, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. Claire next to her smiled and asked, "How is it?" Looking at your expression, I think there is a lot of benefit. ”
"Of course." Tang Fang smiled slightly, and relayed the information he had just obtained to the two of them. Of course, he hid about the "protective battery".
At first, when he saw that the core core of the "Aurora" was only more than 30 meters, he was puzzled, until he came into contact with the psionic flame and obtained the relevant information of the "Aurora", and finally figured out the mystery.
It turns out that the shield generator named "Aurora" by the young duke is a general-purpose force field generator. After learning the operating principle of this universal force field generator, Tang Fang could be said to be taken aback.
He originally thought that the technology of the Ipsi Dragons was almost the same as that of the Protoss in StarCraft, but the Protoss had a general energy source such as the Kedarin Crystal, as well as the ability to cultivate ghost energy, and they would definitely be better than the Ipsi Dragons.
However, now, he found that he was really a bit of a well-watcher, and the Ipsi Dragons and StarCraft Protoss could be said to have their own merits. The Protoss have the Kedarin Crystal, and the Ipsilons have the Zero Element.
In terms of the use of zero element, the reality of human beings is still in the stage of universal energy, compared with the means of the Ipsi dragons, it is nothing less than a world of difference.
Lancelot called the ring device on the outside of the "Silver Wheel" a star ring, because he didn't understand the operation of the "Aurora", and if he changed the Tang side, he was afraid that he would call it the "Hand of God" or "Origin".
Speaking of the operating principle of "Aurora", it is necessary to mention the characteristics of zero element as an energy source. Zero-element in the generalized sense is an energy substance composed of a large number of zero-element particles, which can be converted into any element known to mankind, even unknown elements, through different catalytic devices.
Human beings have made slow progress in the research of zero elements, and even the refining technology is very backward. The Ipsilons, on the other hand, were already able to produce high-energy isotopes of zero-primes in large quantities. Obviously, in terms of the use of zero elements, the Ipsilons are more flexible and diversified.
This is also the case in terms of shield technology, as the "Aurora" shield generator in Lancelot et al. is not just a shield generator, it is more like a particle processing plant and a binding force field.
StarCraft 2 Protoss units have a layer of plasma shield on the outside of their bodies, but the "Aurora" is different, under the control of the core flame-like particle computer, the zero source element will be processed into microscopic particles under the processing of the star ring, and a "particle" shield will be built on the surface of the ship.
This so-called "particle" is actually not fixed, it can adjust the particle composition and shield structure according to the enemy's attack, to resist all kinds of attacks.
For example, in the face of kinetic energy attacks, zero-element particles will be processed into special forms of gravitons, so as to manipulate the mass effect field to intercept kinetic attacks. For example, in the face of particle weapons, zero-element particles will be converted into negative matter by the star ring, thus canceling the energy impact, and as for laser attacks, it can even condense bose, not to mention plasma shields.
Therefore, the "Aurora" shield generator is more like a "particle" processing factory, relying on the action of the binding force field to form a "universal particle" shield, which adjusts the layer, ordering, and combination between different particles to resist all kinds of attacks.
It is not too much to arbitrarily transform the surface form of the zero-element particle, such a means to call it the "hand of God", or "origin". Moreover, the general force field generator is a virtuous person who can go up to the hall and the kitchen, and the wife can not only use the precious zero element, but also graft it on the nuclear energy facility, and combine it with the plasma engine to construct a plasma shield. Of course, this will require manipulating the Psionic Flame and changing the mode of operation of the Universal Force Field Generator. (To be continued......)
