Chapter 360: The Hyperion
The Wandering Earth's space engineering team began to officially land on the asteroid to carry out construction, and in order to excavate the energy crystal veins located deep below the asteroid, they brought in the mechanical worm head that they had seized from Cybertron in the past, and now this thing can finally come in handy.
This mechanical worm has been repaired by the Wandering Earth with the help of transformation technology, and its official name should be called Drilling Beast, and it also appears in the third part of Transformers, which can easily dig through the ground and even cut off a 100-meter-high building.
To tell the truth, such a ground-digging machine that is countless times more powerful than any shield machine, the Decepticons want to send it to the battlefield as a weapon, but it is really a tyrannical thing.
Now that it's in the hands of the Wandering Earth, it's time for it to play its real role!
"Start digging!"
The massive mechanical worm immediately burrowed headlong into the asteroid's ground, and its jagged head like a sandworm easily crushed and swallowed the rock in front of it, as easily as it would burrow into a piece of tofu.
With the help of the Drillbeasts, the Space Engineering Team was soon able to open a tunnel to the underground veins and carve out enough space around it for mining equipment.
For the wandering geoengineering team that has built countless dungeons, this kind of underground operation has long been familiar. Soon after, an underground mine was built inside the asteroid, bringing the mined energy crystals and high-energy gas to the Crescent base.
"The Decepticons have really left us a lot of good things."
Qiao Lu looked at the mechanical worm that was like a fish in water deep underground and said, this is where the drilling beast should really play a role, its burrowing efficiency may be comparable to that of the Zerg's tunnel worms, maybe the wandering earth can also rely on it to play a wave of digging and raiding tactics.
I just don't know what will happen when it meets the tunnel worm underground, and the collision between steel and flesh will be the winner?
I'm afraid I'll have to wait until that moment to find out.
While the work of the space engineering team was going very well, Madison's side also managed to contact the Rangers, and when Jim Reno's face appeared on the screen, the Ark naturally intercepted the signal.
"Madison, you're so alive! I thought you were burned to glass with that planet! Renault said in surprise.
Madison replied, "Ahem, I'm lucky, and I unexpectedly got a noble person's help." ”
"Oh, who is it?"
"A group of humans with a strong military and no money for nuclear bombs, they call themselves coalition governments, but I've never heard of them. Regardless, they saved me from the imminent destruction of the planet Antula, along with the forty or so remaining survivors of the colony. ”
Madison's remarks intrigued Renault, and he said with a little jokingness:
"I thought that no one but us cared about the lives of the people of the remote colonies anymore. The Tyranid Empire would not do such an overkill, so they are rebels established on other planets? ”
"It's hard to say." "It's just that they did say they wanted to work with us, and maybe you should come and talk to them." ”
"I'll think about it."
A few hours later, Wandering Earth detected a giant warship that had crossed the outer reaches of the galaxy and was speeding towards the Crescent base.
"It's finally here."
Qiao Lu has also waited for this moment for too long, and from now on, the Wandering Earth can be regarded as the first step to complete the main mission of the StarCraft plane.
If he wasn't mistaken, the first keystone fragment to collect was already in Jim Reno's hands.
Soon after, a huge human battlecruiser arrived over the Crescent base, none other than the Rangers' flagship, the Hyperion!
This is a large starship, its most distinctive feature is that it has a hammerhead shark-like protrusion at the front, and in the center is the shaft cannon that runs through the entire hull, the Yamato cannon, and its exaggerated caliber can only be carried by a huge battle cruiser.
In addition to the Yamato cannon, the Hyperion is also equipped with an array of 20 heavy laser cannons on both sides, which is enough to fire a salvo of cannons like Thanos in Avengers 4, and the firepower of the Yamato cannon can easily destroy a city.
In addition, the Hyperion also has point defense kinetic energy cannons all over the hull, super alloy armor up to more than ten meters thick, and the same space warping and folding technology as the Star Spirit. All of this adds up to make this battlecruiser look more like a starry fortress.
In fact, the Hyperion is also the home base of the Jim Reynolds Ranger, and thousands of interstellar refugees live on the Hyperion, and it is they who make up the Rangers' main combat force.
When the battle cruiser slowly descended to the surface of the new moon, Qiao Lu had been waiting on the ground for a long time as the host.
A man in gray machine gunner power armor stepped down from the Hyperion, with a white skull on his helmet.
As the armored helmet was lifted, a middle-aged man with a resolute face appeared in front of Qiao Lu, and the Marine in front of him was none other than the leader of the Rangers, the legendary Jim Renault of StarCraft.
"Thank you for helping to rescue our intelligence officers." Renault stretched out his hand to Qiao Lu and said.
Since Renault was still wearing the power armor of the marines, his body was significantly taller than Qiao Lu, and even the palm of his hand was twice as large as Qiao Lu.
Qiao Lu didn't mind, still held Renault's outstretched iron hand, and said in a friendly voice:
"Welcome, Jim Reno, we've heard a lot about you."
"yes, I hope it's not a shameful thing to do."
Qiao Lu continued: "Actually, there are not many things, that is, about the past when you fought side by side with the head of the Tyranid Empire, Arcturus Monsk, and the grudge and hatred with the Blade Queen Kerrigan······
Before he could finish speaking, Renault had already lost his cool and asked first, "How did you know these things?" ”
His cooperation with Monsk has long been erased from history in the brainwashing propaganda of the Tyranid Empire, and Renault himself will not talk about these sad pasts, so there are only a few people in the rangers who actually know these past events.
The Queen of Blades is Jim Reynolds' biggest mental weakness, and it's no wonder he's so nervous.
"I have my own channel."
Qiao Lu said vaguely that he had successfully whetted the other party's appetite, and then he could negotiate slowly.
