The Colossus has 3 main parts:

1. Aiming system: The Colossus's aiming system uses mechanized artificial intelligence and gravity-sensing gyroscopes to analyze the composition of the target and their movement patterns. This ensures that the Thermal Ray Gun's beam travels in a path that deals the most damage to enemy units. The aiming system is so precise that the Colossus can aim directly at the target without the risk of harming the main body.

2. Thermal Ray Guns: These two canons will fire a beam of high thermoplasma, enough to burn out a large number of enemy ground targets. Even with all this power, the Colossus's weapon still had a design flaw, which was a lack of range, so Calle's Phase Craftsmen created an advanced version of the Thermal Ray Gun, with improved airflow design that allowed the Ray Gun to operate at higher temperatures, thus increasing muzzle velocity and effective range without sacrificing power.

3. Insect legs: The Colossus's slender legs are designed to easily carry huge weights, and are also very suitable for moving on rough ground and steep slopes. The four-legged tower design utilizes multiple gyroscope stabilizers to keep the Colossus stable when firing and moving, and to make enemies lose the advantage at height.

In addition to the three regular ability upgrades of the Astral Spirit's unit attack, armor, and shield, the Colossus also has a passive "Cliff Climbing" skill and a "Extended Thermal Ray Gun" that needs to be studied separately by the Mechanical Research Institute.

Next, Tang Fang moved his cursor to the Colossus icon in the production menu, and the resource consumption displayed surprised him, 9000 crystals and 6000 gas, occupying 6 people.

9000 crystals 6000 gas...... 30 times in the game.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, he knew that this big guy who could climb the cliff was big enough, but thinking that more than 100 meters was the limit, but he didn't expect it to cost 30 times as many resources, which means that it was about 300 meters tall.

300 m ...... He subconsciously looked up at the ceiling. It was found that this hall was only about 20 meters high.

But if you think about it, the legs of the Colossus account for about 60% of its height, around 180 meters, if it is not 300 meters high, but more than 100 meters as you think, how can such short legs climb over the cliff?

The resource cost of 9000 crystals and 6000 gas is a bit high. However, it also ensures its absolute dominance on the ground battlefield, imagine investing in the colossus on the ground battlefield, and then cooperate with Thor, and the thunder beast that may appear in the future, such a combination is definitely a crushing type of storage zài, Hugh said that countries like Star Alliance and Mengya, the army of the "Abyss Knight" came over and beat him so that his mother didn't recognize it.

This kind of golden tower-like existence is a god on the ground battlefield!

The fifth production item is the Golden Beetle, the most impressive Protoss ground class in the Interstellar 1 era...... Transporter Demon King...... Slaughtering professional households...... Invincible Kite King......

Gold Beetle:

There is always a great price to pay for attacking an opponent's base. In order not to sacrifice the lives of their troops at will, the Protoss developed a machine called the Golden Beetle, which could be used as a mobile artillery. The gold beetle has thick armor, and inside them there is a miniature manufacturing plant that can produce a small unmanned aircraft with high-explosive properties, which are called "scarabs". Although the Golden Beetle itself does not have any weapons, the Scarab Bomb they send out only needs to be properly placed. However, it can damage both enemy buildings and troops.

There are three main structures of the gold beetle:

One, the scarab beetle: The scarab beetle is a small intelligent machine. Produced and emitted by the Golden Beetle, a mechanical peak that can cause high explosives. They are fired in groups at the enemy's living forces and devices, etc. Due to this type of attack, they can instantly level enemy bases. Unlike interceptors (small aircraft of aircraft carriers), they do not return to the golden beetle, but instead use guò ramming to detonate an explosion that concentrates electromagnetic energy to hit their target. The Scarab has an extremely long range and a splash effect that deals damage to enemies in an area.

Second, the micro production platform: the gold beetle is an improved civilian mobile production unit, with a complex and rigorous scarab production line. Limited by body size. It was not possible to store too many scarab beetles, until the Protoss higher-ups carried out a thorough military transformation of them, removing the previous civilian modules, replacing the most advanced production equipment, and expanding the internal capacity. The capacity of the scarab beetle has been increased.

Third, combat armor: At the beginning of the military use of the golden beetle, because the civilian armor was extremely fragile, it was easy to be torn by the sharp blade of the alien insect troops, and later the Protoss designed a scale armor structure for them, which not only made up for the defense defects of the golden beetle, but also integrated a set of combat sensing system to improve the attack accuracy of the scarab. On the other hand, due to the heavy armor and scarab production line, the movement of the golden beetle is affected by a certain amount of dù, and if it is not covered by the carrying unit, it will easily become the target of the enemy's siege.

Since the golden beetle itself has no attack power, it only has two regular upgrade items: defense and shield, but it can be upgraded in the mechanical research institute to increase the explosion power and capacity of the scarab beetle.

The system shows that the resource cost of the golden beetle is 400 crystals, 200 gas, and 3 people. Considering that the resource consumption is twice that of the Interstellar 1 battle mode, the golden beetle should be more than 20 meters long.

As the crystallization of Protoss technology, the power of the golden beetle is naturally far from being comparable to the Terran units such as vulture chariots and iron crows, although the actual power of the scarab beetle has not been seen with his own eyes, but it is not low, and in the interstellar 1 battle mode, the kite tactics of "transport aircraft carrying gold beetles" must be used to hit the opponent because of the gameplay, if it is put in the real universe...... Tang Fang felt that it was completely a small land-based suicide drone carrier.

Today's one-time unlocking of the Colossus and the Golden Beetle is definitely a thing worth celebrating, but he still has a little regret in his heart, but unfortunately these two units are ground supremacies and cannot attack the air, and the Epsilon Shipyard, which is most likely to unlock the "Star Gate", is too far away to get through this time.

But after thinking about it, how can there be so many perfect things in the world, and if the "Star Gate" can't be unlocked, isn't there still a large number of Ipsi Dragon battleships in the "Delta-5"? For example, the giant battleship with a body length of almost 5 kilometers will unlock the core of the mothership? Again, if it can be fixed. Driving around human society, I am afraid that it is even more shocking than Behemoth, not to mention that there are many other small and medium-sized warships in good condition, and the value is much higher than the scattered ruins and wreckage of "Omega-2".

Finally, he shifted his focus to the "Institute of Mechanics", as it synchronized the technology of the Interstellar 1 era. There are a total of 4 upgrades in it, and the resource consumption is 2000 crystals and 2000 gas, which are "Scarab Power Upgrade" - as the name suggests, it increases the explosive power of Scarab; "Gold Beetle Capacity Upgrade" - Increases the number of scarabs carried by gold beetles, but the system does not introduce the specific added value; "Gravity Drive" - An optimization upgrade to increase the movement speed of the Protoss Transport Aircraft 1 and the Teleporter Prism 2; "Extended Thermal Ray Gun" - increases the range of the Colossus;

Add 4 projects to the upgrade queue in turn, and reduce the resource value to 1054345 and 154514.

Emma sent news that the useful number contained in the psionic flame had been collected. All of them are stored in the database of the Star Orbit Command Center.

After "her" narrated, Tang Fang learned that "Griland" was safe and sound, not because it was not the center of the battlefield, but because it had long been abandoned.

The facilities on the "Griland" and the "Ashtoland" hall on the asteroid were built earlier than the Dyson sphere system, they were only the front-line supply points when the Epsilons built the Dyson sphere system, and what made him even more terrified was that the original "Gamma-3" star system was not only the "Griland" planet, but also 9 other ...... However, they were all demolished by the Ypsi Dragons to build the Dyson Sphere.

Tang Fang didn't know what words to use to express his mood at this moment, if Bai Yue was here. I will definitely complain that these guys are rebellious, because brain-dead philosophers think that the phrase "man will conquer heaven" is simply fart. People want to "Shuntian" instead of "Shengtian", and the Ipsi Dragons are a good example of how they dare to destroy a planet casually, what's the matter, and now they are being genocided.

In fact, he himself felt that the Ipsilons had gone a little too far, if they were to follow the human way of thinking. With such a huge Dyson sphere, energy can be described as inexhaustible, environmentally friendly, clean and low-carbon, it is really a good place to live.

How many people can be used to house an artificial celestial body with a radius of 10k kilometers!

But in the hands of the Ipsilons. It's nothing more than an energy plant, an upgraded version of Na'vi's underground zero-prime isotope refinery. Of course, this evaluation may be biased, as there are not only zero-element isotope refining lines in the Dyson sphere, but also smelting and casting workshops for other metals such as titanium, steel, palladium, and platinum.

The available information available to Emma covers almost the entire refining industry system of the Ipsilons, as well as derivative processes such as Dyson Cloud and Dyson Bubble, as well as near-lossless solar energy conversion technology.

However, what made him depressed was that the entire Dyson ball system had very few records of the original "Lost War", only some fragmentary pictures of warships bombardment, Emma explained that it was because after the enemies of the Ipsi Dragons broke the Dyson ball, the AI in order to avoid the central control system being paralyzed by the impact of electronic storms such as emp and magnetic coupling, thereby causing the displacement compensation system to be unbalanced, and eventually endangering the Dyson ball itself, automatically switched to conservative operation mode, with psionic flame as the central node. Each manages the corresponding area, focusing on monitoring the external forces on the system, and adjusting the force through the thruster group on the outer wall to maintain the stable operation of the Dyson ball.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, in addition to the great benefit of unlocking the "Mechanical Research Institute", the value of those materials is even higher. According to Emma's analysis, considering the level of human science and technology, the space environment of "Dillard", material consumption, construction cycle and other issues, not to mention the Dyson sphere, even if it is difficult to build Dyson clouds and Dyson bubbles on the periphery of "Dillard", it is possible to take a step back and construct a kind of rope network orbiting the stars, similar to the space facilities in the science fiction novel "Annular World", on the one hand, it is used to settle, on the other hand, it collects solar energy, and uses the obtained Ipsilon technology to integrate the mineral refining line of "Morning Star Casting".

In this way, the production capacity of "Morningstar Casting" can exceed that of "Rover Technology Consortium", "Iga Industrial" and other similar enterprises by thousands of times, and can save costs to the greatest extent.

It's just that the upfront investment in this grand project is too high, and the 800 billion star coins on the books is less than one-thousandth of the total project investment, and in its current form, he will either cooperate with the Star Alliance government. Either learn from the Ipsilons to smash a few planets, of course, provided that he has enough manpower, material resources, and technical resources to support a project like the bombing of planets.

Hearing "her" say this, Tang Fang recalled the situation of blowing up Nami Star at the beginning, remembered the spectacular scene at that time, and now his backbone is still a little numb. I feel that this is not good, there is a feeling that unscrupulous real estate developers are forcibly demolishing people's houses, and besides, the Star Alliance government is only leasing the right to use "Dillard", and he wants to blow up other people's planets, isn't it tantamount to provoking national sovereignty, and those patriots in the government are not playing with him?

…… Although the Star Covenant does not have any sovereignty at all, it is relative to other countries.

Since the method of bombing the planet is not suitable, there is only one way left to cooperate with the government. It's a bit difficult to get the government to fund the construction of a mountaineer like him, but ...... It's not impossible, that requires some external conditions.

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, terrified of his terrible thoughts.

"Emma, can you combine the refining process of the Ipsilons to design and develop a space refinery, which can be used as a space station in normal times, and can be mounted to the 'rope network' when the bar is allowed in the future."

"Commander. That's a good idea, and there should be no problem. ”

"That's good. You do it now. ”

Withdrawing Emma, he came down from the high platform and walked out the door with the little girl who had just regained her mobility.

Although the Dyson sphere system of "Gamma-3" is ready-made, it is too bad, and most of the energy of the system has been used up just to maintain the balance of external forces, and the refining process to which it belongs is either damaged. Either it's offline, and it's too expensive to fix. You must know that this is a Dyson ball system, not a dimensional lock, and it is far from being something that a few "Cupids" can play. Moreover, there are too many unstable dìng factors in the "Lost Lands". No one can be sure if the huge artificial object under their feet will suddenly lose its balance in the next second and eventually crash into "Gamma-3" and explode in a century.

He can only use it as a large garbage station, occasionally to dismantle a few parts he needs, or to develop the tourism industry when the conditions are ripe.

He didn't say a word, thinking about all kinds of things, sometimes laughing very happily, sometimes laughing very.

Freya also didn't say a word, looking at his face, sometimes aggrieved, sometimes angry, sometimes confused, and finally with a worried look, wondering if he was stimulated by something, but don't become a fool, an idiot, a brain-dead or other abnormal person.

She's going to be very sad...... So he couldn't help but say: "Tang Fang, you must not become an idiot, in exchange...... I...... I don't blame you, okay? ”

The smile on his lips was fixed on his face, dry and astringent.

Take the vulture chariot back to the entrance again, return to the tarmac through the crystal tunnel, drive the shuttle to the asteroid next to "Griland", where the "Ashtoland" hall and passenger terminal are built, and return to "Tikal" through the dimensional roaming terminal.

Tang Fang glanced back at the "door" structure behind him and felt like a dream.

The refining of minerals was nearing completion, and "Cupid" reported to him 2 pieces of news, one good and one bad.

Like ordinary people, he chooses to hear the bad news first.

Due to the influence of the dryness, humidity and impurity content of minerals, the number of dimensional locks prepared is less than expected, and due to the superposition of dimensional storms in the subspace tunnel network, the number of dimensional locks required for the task of repairing the subspace tunnel from "Tikal" to "Delta-5" star system has increased, and the preliminary estimate is that there are 3 missing.

Just 3 are missing!

Tang Fang's face turned white, this is simply asking for his life, the "Alpha-7" is too far away, he can't bear it, and now the "Delta-5" can't arrive, how can he accept it?

"You ...... You ......"

He thought about it, don't say the latter word, if "Cupid" is a waste, not to mention SCV, simply, be honest and dumb, and accept the reality with peace of mind.

At this moment, Emma's voice came to mind in her mind: "Commander, there should be some refined raw materials in the Dyson sphere system of 'Gamma-3', but due to the leakage of the warehouse where the iridium materials are stored, it is impossible to prepare a large number of dimensional locks, but there should be no problem with more than a dozen." ”

"yes, why didn't I think of it, why did the Ypsilons build the Dyson ball system? Isn't it just refining and casting mineral resources? ”

He simply asked Freya to wait here, took a "Cupid" to enter the dimensional roaming terminal again, returned to "Gamma-3", used the Hercules transport plane to go to the Dyson sphere system, woke up a "Ashtolando" hall, and took more than an hour to prepare the raw materials into 12 dimensional locks, and handed them over to "Cupid" to continue the repair work of the suspended subspace tunnel.

During this period, he suddenly thought of one thing, there are refined raw materials left in the warehouse of the Dyson sphere system, what about the isotope of Source Zero? That's something more precious than ordinary zero-element.

Emma's answer disappointed him, as part of the storehouse stocked with zero-prime-isotopes had been destroyed in the war, and the other part of the storehouse was also empty for some unknown reason.

Tang Fang scolded: "A bunch of bastards! (To be continued......)
