Chapter 921: Voices in the Flames
Can T energy stones be copied? If the answer is yes, where did the Third Committee get this technology?
The pyramid-shaped crystal, which was two meters in diameter, floated up and down at an extremely slow speed, and the crystal chassis was a supporting device for a flowing water-streaked glow, and the pale blue soft light illuminated the entire space, not bright, as clear as starlight.
It turned out that the Tie Xun outside was just a peripheral used to carry this device, and the Dragon Whisperer's Nemesis-class tactical destroyer damaged Tie Xun, but did not cause fatal damage to the crystal, the device was still functioning, but most of the energy escaped through the holes on the surface of the Tie Xun, so that the energy fluctuation became very low.
He took a few steps to the foot of the crystal suspended in mid-air, looked around, and summoned a Goliath robot, jumped onto the big guy's shoulder, and jumped onto the chassis underneath the crystal.
The wind passed through the hole in Tiexun, producing a strange and low whimper.
He didn't care if the sound was unusual, circled the pyramid-shaped crystal, and finally walked to the side with his back to the Goliath droid, stretched out his palm, and pressed it down into a strange pattern.
He didn't know that strange pattern, it was completely different from the various modern or ancient symbols under the human civilization system, and it was not the Ipsi Dragon Rune, maybe it was the text of the T-star.
He just thought it was some kind of mechanism, similar to the trackpad of a human electronic device, that could unlock the lock and activate the water crystal. Because Emma told him that the energy level inside was not high, and it was difficult to pose a threat to him, so he dared to do so.
However, the moment the palm of his hand touched the water crystal, the Ipsi Dragon rune, which was originally in a static state, trembled violently, slowly appearing on his forehead, radiating a golden light that alternated between strength and weakness.
At this moment, without waiting for him to react, his consciousness was forcibly pulled into the system space.
As in the previous process of expanding new elements, the Emblem of the Four Clans dimmed, the base selection screen disappeared, and a line of characters flashed quickly in the black screen state.
“power,on.”
“system,restart,ok!”
“init……”
“prepare,dates……”
“update…… 20%…… 30%…… 90%……”
“release.”
“run,now!”
“……”
The next breath, the humming sound came, the emblem of the four clans lit up, the base selection interface reappeared in front of him, and the system released the cursor, waiting for him to make a choice.
Have a new element unlocked? The Ranger-class assault ship had just finished expanding its new project, and now it was the turn of the Wuzhu-class armored ship, but it was a pity that he didn't have time to test the new elements, and the originally dim crystal suddenly bloomed with a dazzling bright light, and those textures turned into a cross lightning bolt, sweeping across the surface of the crystal.
Startled by such a change, he jumped directly from the two-story supporting base, and looked solemnly at the vision that was taking place in front of him.
Perhaps it was the light that illuminated the void that shot out along the gap in Tiexun, piercing the dark night, waking up Chen Jian, who was waiting outside, and the anxious shout of the deputy head of the regiment came from Ma Runjia's communication equipment.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." He agreed, and at the same time prevented Jian Chen from entering Tiexun.
In such a narrow environment, if there was really any danger, it would be difficult for him to take care of the life safety of the deputy head of the regiment, so he preferred that the other party stay outside than let Chen Jian in.
Just as he told the deputy head not to be nervous and that he was safe, the light that filled the entire space suddenly faded and softened, and a circle of flame light spread out from the surface of the crystal.
The crystal that was originally cold and hard actually ignited. Coupled with the round base, it looks like a burning torch from a distance. It's just that...... Although its flames were fierce, they did not emit a deafening roar because of the rushing wind of the hole.
It burns quietly, so quiet that it seems not to be unrestrained in this world, but transpiring in another.
Tang Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at the ghostly fire, and the chill in his heart was like a storm that was approaching.
He had a delusion...... Perhaps it would be more intuitive to describe it, but the reckless act just now activated the dormant water crystal, as if a very strange life form had woken up from its sleep and was staring at him with a cold gaze.
It is in that flame, ancient and mysterious.
"You...... It is...... That Tang Fang? The sound of the wind tearing paper rang in my ears.
The flames on the surface of the crystal vibrated with the pitch, the light and shadow on the surrounding walls shook back and forth, and the wind blowing from the Tiexun hole did not bring a trace of waves.
Tang Fang's face was solemn, staring at the three spots of light that were slowly forming inside the flame coat.
"What the hell are you...... Person? He originally wanted to say what you are, but for the sake of this flame resembling the psionic flame in the Epsilon Ruins, he swallowed the word "thing" back and replaced it with "human".
The scene in front of me is really strange, the crystal is somewhat similar to the T energy stone, but it has a cottage atmosphere, and the flame that has just risen is very similar to the energy flame in the ruins of the Ipsi Dragon, but it is different, more illusory, and not real.
He couldn't understand what the hell was going on, this huge Tiexun really came from a Wuzhu-class armored ship, did it really belong to the Third Committee?
The voice from the flames didn't answer his question, but said to itself, "You're coming faster than we thought. ”
"They"? What does "he" mean by this, if Tie Xun is really the core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship, doesn't it mean that "he" deliberately turned the energy core into a fire meteor and smashed it on the land of Laxis, in order to lure himself here?
"Are you waiting for me?"
"I'm waiting for you......"
From the tone of "his", it is impossible to tell whether this waiting is full of malice or full of kindness, the voice is like an asphalt road, without any ups and downs, and naturally it is impossible to be full of emotions.
He frowned and asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”
The flames shook, and the voice came: "Look at you." ”
"Look at me?" He was puzzled, the mysterious being in the flames was waiting for him to return, and Dillard was just looking at him? MD sent more than 30 warships and almost destroyed his hard work, just to take a look at him, how could there be such an unreasonable thing in the world.
"Hahahaha...... I see, I see...... The guys ......"
"He" is laughing, the flames are swaying, and the wind and sand are rising and falling.
"Who the hell are you? Someone from the Third Committee, or someone from the Supreme Security Council? He always felt that the owner of the voice had come to see him for a purpose, and that the stakes were high.
"Third Committee...... Hehe...... Let's try to live and witness the future...... Mankind. ”
The voice slowly faded, and even the flame cloak around the crystal slowly dimmed, and finally disappeared, and the pyramid crystal finally consumed the last trace of energy, and shattered into countless small crystal slags with a bang, and turned into dust under the wind flow poured into the Tiexun hole.
The chassis supporting the crystals lost their buoyancy and fell to the gravelly ground with a dull sound.
Who is "he" and why does he come to see himself? What kind of emotions do those words express?
Is "he" a member of the Third Committee? "He" did not admit it, nor did he deny it.
Also, who are those guys in "his" mouth?
Make yourself try to live and witness the future...... Then calling himself a human means that "he" is not human.
Since he is not human, who would "he" be, the Ipsilons? T starman?
This was the first real alien he had come into contact with, and he just ran in front of him and muttered a vernacular, talking to himself like a psychopath.
Why exactly? Is Tie Xun a Third Committee thing?
Could it be a message from the Dragon Whisperer?
His mind was a mess, and countless questions wrapped him in a cocoon like silk, and he couldn't figure out the crux of this matter.
Just when he was worried about many questions in his heart, Ma Runjia's built-in communicator sounded Chen Jian's call again, it turned out that the deputy captain saw that the light from the Tiexun hole suddenly faded, and he couldn't figure out what was happening below, whether Captain Tang was safe or not, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and he caused him trouble in the past, so he could only ask patiently.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'll go out and meet you." After replying, he retrieved the Goliath armed robot, replaced it with an SCV, and gave it the order to check the base of the crystal, then he turned around and went back the way he came.
On the road, there was a sound of what had just happened, and she rushed to the doctor to ask Emma what she thought.
The robot adjutant's reply was: "There is not enough intelligence, no opinion." ”
"......" Tang Fang could only resist the urge to smash "her" and asked another question: "Where is the unlock item expanded by the crystal located?" ”
"Commander, according to the data recorded in the system log, change the entry to the address of the memory pool, and there are two extensions, which are located in the Terran base and the Protoss base."
"Two ...... Is it still a Terran base and a Protoss base? Same as the wreckage of a Ranger-class fast assault ship? ”
"Does 'he' have anything to do with the Third Committee......
Emma was directly silent about his question.
Puzzled, he could only put the problem aside and focus on the Terran base to find the unlock in Emma's mouth.
Select the SCV and press the Buildings menu hotkey to see that no new buildings appear.
Remembering that the Ranger-class fast assault ship had unlocked the Archangel, he turned his attention to the star base again, the first menu bar was still the same, and only one item in the second menu bar was highlighted, and the rest of the battlecruisers were still in a gray lock.
He frowned, and then clicked on the production building in turn, and found no new elements.
"Hey, where the hell is it?" Finally, he turned his attention to the research building, and he clicked through them in turn, and suddenly found two new research items in the menu bar on the right side of the engineering station - "Upgrading the Bunker of the Shrike Battery" and "Fortification".
"Instantaneous Auto-Tracking" and "Steel Frame" have been developed as bunker technologies in PvP mode. I didn't expect that the new Terran project that Emma was talking about this time was the battle technology of Wings of Freedom.
"Upgrading the Bunker of the Shrike Battery" is the addition of a twin turret to the original bunker, allowing it to attack even if no infantry is stationed.
"Fort Reinforcement" adds 150 HP to the bunker's original HP.
These two upgrades are useful if you're in the Wings of Freedom campaign, but you have to choose one over the other. Unexpectedly, Sister Logic really took care of him and let these two technologies appear in the menu bar of the engineering station at the same time.
But what's the use!
The bunker can't get out of the system space at all, and these two upgrades are completely chicken.
Complaining is complaining, he still casually sent two technologies into the research sequence.
Spend 6,000 crystals and 6,000 gas, and watch the two technologies be researched, and there is an extra turret above the heavily armored bunker next to the planetary fortress.
What's the use, he sighed, and was about to leave the Terran base and go to the Protoss base to check the new project, when Emma suddenly stopped him, "Commander, there are new changes in the system, and the expansion module of the bunker has been activated. ”
"Bunker's expansion module?" He froze for a moment, followed by the Click-Hit Bunker, and found a golden icon in the menu bar on the right, much like Ghost's Mobile Reactor upgrade.
Move the cursor over to display the words "Data Sync Complete".
This reminded him of what he had encountered in Brionark's system, and he switched his cursor to Ghost Academy, which was also seen in the lower right corner of the menu bar.
"Another one?" He asked, "Emma, is there still no relevant information?" ”
"Yes, Commander. Insufficient permissions to query relevant information. ”
Sister Logic not only plays logic, but also plays mystery many times, although every time she digs a hole, she fills it, but it really makes him a little unhappy.
There was no way, he could only leave from the Terran base and enter the Protoss base.
With no new unlocks in the Explorer's building menu bar, he went to inspect the Soldier building and found a new icon near the Giant Elephant in the mechanical table's production menu bar.
Externally, it is not much different from the Fanatic, except that the skin texture is more mottled, the body has a red vein, and there is no spectral blade on the wrist.
It has a very bullish name - Stone Fanatic.
Tang Fang remembered the big guy he encountered in the Freedom Wings Battle...... Tomb robbing comes at a price, and there is always a pair of eyes hiding in the dark watching your every move.
Thinking about Paikamon, thinking about the Minotaur Marines and the Fish-Man Marines, he was relieved again, it seemed that Sister Logic was determined to move everything in the map editor into the system.
The Stone Fanatic's annotation is simple, providing only two component analyses.
1. Binocular Death Cannon: The eyes of the Gargolezealot are made of two spectral crystals, and by bursting with the energy contained inside, they can create two beams of high-energy photon rays to form a deadly attack on the target.
2. Titan Armor: Compared to the alloy shell of the giant elephant, the Stone Zealot has a thicker armor, and their body is made of a Sarnaga rough stone, which can maximize the transmission of spectral energy, which makes them look heavy, but they unexpectedly have extraordinary mobility, although limited by the materials that make up their bodies, they cannot condense the Spectral Blade like the Zealot, but their body itself is a weapon, and when it runs, the earth will tremble, and any object in its way will crumble and disintegrate.
