Chapter 418: Void Ghost
The sky was dark, the sun was only shining, the earth and the distant mountains were gloomy, and even the armor of the star spirits was stained with twilight, giving off a dull color like the burial gold of a cemetery.
Tasada stands on the saucer-shaped aircraft, looking at the surrounding scenery, seeing the Gobi wasteland, and the wind-eroded rocks, and occasionally you can see some semi-fossil forms of huge animal bones, here is barren and desolate, and there is a gloomy feeling, this feeling Tasada does not like.
"Send observers, and everyone be on alert and watch out for the attack. ”
Tasada's order was quickly conveyed.
It's actually very difficult to sneak up on this team.
The progress of science and technology has made tools handy, such as the saucer-shaped aircraft called by the Star Spirits, not to mention in the atmosphere, even in space, can still do the work of vehicles very well.
It uses psionic phase movement technology, which does not emit light or fire, is silent, and has a large psionic shield that is transparent when not triggered, and the occupants stand on it as if they were standing in a queue on a terrace, with a wide field of vision.
Once an attack collides with the shield, it will show a honeycomb net-like light blue light outline, and the impact part is blazing white, and it is difficult to break through the idle blow at once.
The altitude of this kind of aircraft can be adjusted at will, as now, it is not on a horizontal line, but some aircraft are in a high position, and some are in a low position. In addition, the armor of the Templars and Zealots has a force field generator in the shape of a silk ribbon that forms an arch ring at the tip, which is very reminiscent of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals who came with clouds in the Celestial Palace.
Kane once slandered the star spirits of the Kale clan, and his outfit and even appearance style were too sassy and gorgeous.
Compared with the star spirit of the local tyrant gold, the dress of the heavy medical soldiers looks a little dirty, the solid and honest appearance, the low-key color of the rock gray, and the logo is more eye-catching, the square red cross, and the other is the outside of the main working arm of this power armor, which is a huge tower shield, with this tower shield protection with a cooling system, the medical soldiers have a very strong anti-nuclear ability.
The vehicles used by the medics are multi-purpose vehicles called the Rib Hawks.
Graybeard's transport boats and medical transport planes are all used for it, but they are hung with standard-sized cabins with different contents.
Like now, it is not to hang any cabins, and directly hang power armor.
The way it is done is similar to the exoskeleton hanging method in {Edge of Tomorrow}, with a cable and a padlock.
The other is the angel arm on the back of the power armor itself, that is, the accessory limbs, which are locked with each other and hung under the spine-like collective, looking like a bomb ready to drop in the cabin of a horizontal bomber.
A Rib Eagle carried 12 heavy medics, and a company was 10 Rib Eagles, wrapped in an array of star spirits, flying unhurriedly.
After traveling some distance, two Shadow combat groups caught up with them in armed transport planes.
After confirming his identity, the Star Spirit added it to the queue. Kane had already greeted Tasada in advance, and sent the Phantom to participate in the operation.
An armed transport plane can accommodate two main battle tanks, and now it only pulls 6 people, and the space margin is naturally very large, and it is stuffed with combat pendants belonging to the Phantom, just like a small arsenal, this is a typical pro-son treatment, and there is no better treatment among the Graybeard than any of the troops.
Before a new hurricane is about to rise, after several days of precipitation, it is the time of the best visibility, the dark space, the magnificent stars, the visual perception is very good.
However, when I looked back at the ground, my senses suddenly became worse, and there was a lime powder color everywhere, like a reflection of snow, but I couldn't understand the reason, and a strange smell came to my face, in Kane's words: "There is a gloomy feeling of being in the underworld." ”
Kane didn't play the one that Advent participated in, he was honestly sitting in the camp this time, and even made a round himself.
The terrain of the camp is very good, built on an irregular rectangular plateau, with a wide field of vision and an air curtain generator, which can be said to be difficult for mosquitoes to enter.
However, at Kane's request, the SCV still placed energy jamming devices everywhere, and the interference released by this device is like a low-intensity EMP attack, and the main role is to obstruct the enemy's communication, while the prepared side can avoid interference through hardware and special channels.
From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as being forced out, after all, the insect has staged several good scenes of 'lost contact and painful slaughter' in places such as Marsala's backwater mine, which is enough to prove that human communication technology has been cracked under the name of the alien insect.
However, this device is arranged today for another purpose, which has been considered at the time of development, but has never been used before - against spirits.
It was quickly dark, and the vast fortress of the shimmering blue gas curtain became conspicuous.
In the area, a light was lit up by lighting fixtures, which were deliberately arranged to be redundant and redundant, so that all areas were bathed in light with almost no dead ends, and were deliberately adjusted to a state of scorching sun at Kane's request.
There is no doubt that the adjustment of the characteristics of this light source was also arranged by Kane early on. Since you are going to jump this pit, you naturally try to be as prepared as possible.
Three hours after nightfall, the Astral Spirit's facility twist was already coming to an end.
There aren't many facilities for the Star Spirit to make this jump, and they don't even have a magnificent central hall (main base), but there are a lot of quiet places for rest.
The Jingsu can be understood as the house of the star spirit, or the military barracks, and the internal deconstruction is similar, the shape is a thick obelisk form, which is put together to form Tallinn, which can also be regarded as a scene.
At the same time, Tasada and his party entered another relic area.
This is already the third ruin they have searched.
The ruins here are not the usual ruins that have withstood the erosion of time, on the contrary, the vast majority of buildings are very intact.
According to the molecular analysis deconstructed data given by observers, they have been around for millions of years, and instead of being damaged, they have become stronger and better.
To paraphrase Kane, this is called the Magic Weapon trait.
Some magic weapons are generally spiritual, and they can exchange energy with the outside world on their own and constantly strengthen them.
Such a magic weapon, as long as the environment is not too drastically changed, will exist for a longer period of time, and the stronger the performance.
The city is carefully built like a magic weapon, and the intelligent race that once had all this is obviously also a person with a heart, and has good expectations, hoping that everything can last forever and enjoy the enhanced advantages brought by the years.
In a way, they really did it, but they became them.
Tasada: They did not encounter them in the first and second ruins.
To his impression, the belief in this civilization is very fanatical, and the characteristics of the temple are everywhere.
Kane, on the other hand, prefers to call it 'Buddha's character'.
To put it bluntly, it is a super temple model, and there is no priestly worship everywhere, but the style of faith built by this civilization is not good, just like the Gothic style that embodies the elements of death, darkness, and so on, which is very dark.
Anyway, from Kane's point of view, if someone said that the intelligent beings of this civilization worship true eternity through death, he would believe it.
All the buildings embody and create a gloomy and solemn atmosphere, without the Gothic spires, which do not make people feel precipitous, but embody the rigidity of sharp corners and straight and clear lines.
One of the biggest features is the good use of auxiliary walls.
For example, on both sides of the east-west gables (north-south direction), a series of east-west auxiliary walls are constructed to form a 'T' connection.
In addition, they like to make a fuss about the frame, like a sea urchin, the exterior is extremely prominent and very stylish, and the interior is nothing more than a lump of soft meat, which is not worth saying much.
This style has created a combination of large and small temples, just like an alternative Forbidden City, pavilions and pavilions, but it is not grounded, and there is no neighborhood where ordinary people live.
Tassada didn't care much about this, he had also seen some of the relics of civilization found by the Star Spirits in the Golden Age through the Kara Net, all kinds of strange things.
He also lamented that the civilization that could create buildings at the same level as the planet has also died out in the years, and the road to civilization can be described as rugged and difficult.
I searched two places in a row, but there was no artifact induction, so I came to the third place.
The buildings in this area are relatively messy, and from the topographic analysis of the large faults scattered in the highlands, as well as the deep ravines, it should have experienced a severe earthquake, and it is estimated that there can be a magnitude nine, and the center of the earthquake is here, not deep from the surface, so there is such a landform.
But even such a violent earthquake could not do anything about those buildings. They are like super metal creations that are built as a single body and do not have the characteristics of metal fatigue, and the integrity is very high, but the carrier has changed greatly, no matter how high the integrity is, it will not return to the original pattern, just like the building blocks thrown around, staggering, some stuck in the cracks, some crooked on the cliffs, and the messy effect comes from this.
If Kane had been present and willing to warn Tasada, then this area would have been ignored, and the place where the artifact fragments of Sarnagar were placed was not like this, and there was no such eerie scenery.
Kane was not there, and Tasada was an honest child, so he ordered someone to operate meticulously.
The Spirits once again took out the artifact fragment that Kane had harvested from Marsala and placed it on a specific power table, and the artifact fragment, which was as dark as cast iron, began to glow.
Soon, the artifact fragments became luminous bodies of the Great Wind and Light, and the overflowing energy fluctuations became very stable, like a tidal wave, spreading in waves.
This diffuse energy is blocked by the outer walls of the energy table, and is collected along a specific channel, which is then poured into some kind of crystal, which begins to glow, but not very strongly.
This softly glowing crystal is the detection device.
Kane had told Tasada that artifact fragments were sealed in special devices that would be difficult to detect normally. It is only through quantum resonance of the same energy, in a relatively close range, that a response can be obtained.
To put it simply, if you find an artifact, those crystals will glow brighter, the closer you go, and once the light goes out, you need to come back to recharge. Only artifact fragments can process energy that meets the needs of quantum resonance.
As they did on the previous two occasions, the Templars formed a small team, led by the High Templars, and roamed among the ruins, with the Phasing Templars controlling the crystals with their psionic powers, always floating diagonally in front of them. The entire team could be seen, but the others were responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings, and the High Templars were responsible for setting the route and keeping an eye on the crystal's brightness.
Then the paranormal event happened very suddenly, and the ghost came up.
The ghosts here are extraordinarily 'ghosts', in the words of the reincarnators, they are indiscriminate, they don't even make any sense, they can't be seen as ghosts, but they should be treated as demigod mummies in the DND (Chapter 5 of the 3E Expansion Book "Legend Level Manual"), which is too evil.
Of course, if you really want to be more truthful, you can actually tell some truth. It can be understood that these beings are semi-void spirits.
They are a special form that is stuck between the Void Universe and the Primal Universe.
In other words, the power of the void affects the inorganic matter of the base universe, and the more representative one is the phantom gold, and the power of the void affects the organic matter that affects the base universe, and the morphed hydrogen is born, so what will the power of the void affect the intelligent spirits of the base universe?
Void ghosts have certain attribute characteristics of Sarnagar, they are more suitable for returning to the void, but they are mongrels and cannot go back, they can only wander in this universe almost immortally.
It is said that they are almost immortal, in addition to the fact that they can be obliterated unnaturally, but also because according to Kane's understanding, they have completely collapsed because they cannot bear the weight of time, and they have fallen into a state of mental chaos.
That is, from the point of view of individual consciousness, these are real madmen, real psychopaths.
Back then, Kane and other adventurers, after encountering this supernatural event, staged Dead Space + Teacher is Not Human + Truth or Dare (this year's horror film), and the situation was very tragic.
And this time, I don't know if it's because they all accepted the technology of the Sarnagar system, the spiritual energy of the eldest sons of the gods failed to withstand the erosion of the void ghosts, and a high-level Templar was the first to be eroded.
The eroded star spirit showed significant external characteristics, the blue and white light around his body that was originally pure and represented this light and reason (after all, it is spiritual energy, it has a corresponding meaning, different from natural energy), transformed into purple energy with black smoke characteristics, purple represents the void, black smoke represents dark and dirty, and its eyes that release blue and white light have also become the color of purple and black light.
Almost immediately, this high-level Templar released several Chaos Psionic Storms on his team members.
The power of the void was not something that the creatures of the original universe could withstand, not to mention that this was still an addition, and the star spirits who were attacked fell into a deep illusion at that time, and their bodies and souls were destroyed at the same time.
There are heavy medics in the team. Although this cyborg girl was also affected by the Chaos Psionic Storm, the power armor she used had an AI-assisted function, and in the face of energy strikes, she activated the protective barrier on its own.
Although this barrier can only last for 3 seconds, it is enough to save lives at a critical moment, and I saw that the outer layer of the heavy medic suddenly appeared like silver, emitting a strange reflection of water quality, and then under the piloting of the biological girl, it flew out of the area like a cannonball, and then used the quantum spray gun to save people.
At the same time, the star spirits, including Tasada, all suffered varying degrees of spiritual power blows.
In other words, an information flow attack launched through the Kara network. It's like a D-DOS attack, using a huge flow of information to form an attack that hits the target's mind.
Literary and emotional statement: Millions of years of resentment and madness have been accumulated, and I have finally found the next home for output!
When Tasada told Kane about this afterwards, he said with trepidation: "I never thought that intelligent beings could accumulate such majestic negative emotions, no, it should be said that they are chaotic emotions. The shock of information made me feel like I was in a storm, and I felt that my own personality was almost completely overwhelmed by all kinds of distractions. ”
Kane said in his heart: "This is the two-sided nature of things, Kara Net, through this psychic Net, you Star Spirits have taken advantage of many advantages, including a certain degree of resolution of social contradictions and so on. There's nothing to take advantage of, that's it. ”
The truth is light, but when it comes to specific events, the damage is great.
The successful invasion of the high-level Templar was tantamount to launching a random psychic strike against the star spirits in the LAN.
The total amount of information torrent is fixed, and the random distribution of information is the distribution of information, because telepathy is the transmission rate of the photoelectric level, so for all the star spirits on this planet, there is no priority, and the efficiency of their individual processing information cannot be compared with the existence of the divine soul, so although there is a sequence of transmission, they can't feel the difference.
The more severely damaged are the high-level Templars with strong psionic energy and active thinking, as if they have higher download traffic, and the amount of information exceeds the peak at once, even if it is an SSD, there is still a risk of system crash.
Once stuck, there is no reboot and recovery, and there is no one-click restore.
So just such a virtual ghost made the exploration team chaotic, and dozens of people were washed into idiots by the torrent of information on the spot, and those who suffered blows and didn't know where they were abounded.
At the same time, Kane's camp was also in trouble......
