Chapter 1159 The Cyclone Fanatic
Compared to the two of them, Tang Fang was much calmer. Walking out of the shadow area, he came to Zeratul, looked at the river of stars and the patrol drones outside, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"
Zeratul pointed to a suspended platform floating between the crystal mountain and the fan blade structure and said, "I'm looking at it."
Tang Fang followed his instructions, and suddenly found that the objects placed in the middle of the floating platform looked familiar, as if... It seemed to be the Fallen Angel.
Because the floating platform is very far away from the location of the four people, and the performance of the harsh environment protective clothing is insufficient, he cannot see the image in front of him clearly. He had to seize the inspection drone's patrol loophole and summon a detector to take pictures.
Emma soon sent a video file, which showed that the Armed Forces of God were conducting a detailed search of the Fallen Angel, and some engineers were performing cutting operations on the confidential parts of the ship.
There is no doubt that this made him very unhappy, even though he snatched this ship from Black Lu, it still felt extremely painful.
"That bastard Noah!" He had a resentful expression on his face: "You tear down my boat now, and I'll tear down your bones in a while."
Zeratul did not respond to his angry words. He jumped down from the viewing platform, looked at the fan blade structure in front, and said in a deep voice: "There is still a long way to go, we must find the location of the sanctuary."
There is a distance of nearly a thousand kilometers from the root of the fan blade where the three people are located to the top of the structure. In this case, finding the location of the church is limited, even if it is easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
The key is that he cannot obtain the map of this area by accessing the Ipsilon computer, because doing so is likely to scare the enemy, let Athena and Noah know their arrival, and then send out sniper troops.
Unless he can determine the approximate location of the church, then use this method to precisely locate it. The conditions are not yet ripe, and we can only use the most primitive methods to explore. Fortunately, Noah did not fully activate this Ypsilon space station, and there were not many patrol personnel, so he could rely on the shadow of the ruins to advance quickly.
Zeratul didn't waste any more time, and rushed to the outer area of the fan blade with a dozen dark templars and ghost agents to look for suspicious targets. Tang Fang and the other three were responsible for the investigation of the inner area of the fan blade.
In fact, there is no need to conduct precise inquiries, as long as the target range can be narrowed down, and the location of the sanctuary can be roughly grasped, the next step is to launch a surprise attack, defeat the clone group headed by Athena, and prevent Noah from completing the fusion process. Half of the task is completed.
More ghost agents and ghost agents were sent to some small passages to collect information. The three of Tang Fang chose the most dangerous path, but in his opinion, it was also the most critical path.
There are a large number of clone patrol troops in the area along this road, including mechanical intelligence brains, clone commanders, and several super thugs equipped with incomplete hearts of darkness and grace of light. The "big lobster". They walked at the end of the clone patrol team, and the infrared rays emitted by the mechanical intelligence brain core swept across the ground and dark corners.
The harsh environment protective clothing cannot maintain the stealth effect in the field of vision of the machine intelligence brain, so the three people advance very slowly, and the further they go, the more machine intelligence brain patrols and "big lobsters" they encounter, and the higher the probability of being discovered , can only bypass those dangerous areas at the cost of reducing the efficiency of exploration, and continue to search for the temple.
When the three arrived at an abandoned botanical garden in the middle of the Fanleaf structure, Tang Fang received a message from Emma—the swarm paid a terrible price and sank the God-armed fortress ship Odyssey. Wei Tan has not yet reached the point where he cannot fight, and is still fighting at the forefront of the battlefield.
The assault team led by Phoenix and Gestalt Zero at the clone training facility had mediocre records, but the Dark Templar team led by Mohandar has already entered the central control room and is doing the final clearing. Once the console is occupied, the entire facility will be shut down The internal defense system should help Phoenix and Gestalt Zero's offensive tasks.
Tang Fang told Emma to try to slow down the pace of attack and create more pressure instead of completely defeating the God Armed Fleet, because they have not yet determined the location of the church.
When he came back to his senses, the starry trident warship was flying over the abandoned botanical garden. The dazzling light sprinkled from the bow and belly of the ship, shining on the ruins, adding a bit of desolation.
He shrank his body back and hid in the shadow of the building. When he raised his head, he suddenly found an unusual place.
The brilliance of the battleship illuminates a tall building in the ruins of the botanical garden. It looks like a silver torch from a distance. Unfortunately, the surface painting has become mottled and eroded by the war and years, and it is less beautiful and more sad.
Of course, the beauty and ugliness of architecture is not what he pays attention to, but what triggers reverie is the architecture itself.
Opposite the torch building is a broken platform, which should have the same structure as the former from the outline below, but unfortunately it was destroyed in that ancient war, leaving only the square base.
Tang Fang looked at the girl beside him, and found that she had also noticed the torch building, and she was fascinated by it, with a strange light in her eyes, as if she had the same guess as him. Only Tang Lin didn't notice it, and focused on the Star Trident battleship, hoping that it would leave here soon.
Yes, this torch building is very similar to the torch-shaped Ypsilon ruins in the center of the lake in Torch City, the capital of the Date Republic, except that the latter is well preserved, and those little flowers will dance under the moonlight. The torch has been extinguished for a long time, standing like a cold tombstone among the ruins of the botanical garden, lifeless and without brilliance.
Could it be that the Yipsilon ruins that made Torch City came from here? A relic of that ancient war?
The light above his head faded away, and the Astral Trident battleship left the area where the botanical garden was located. Tang Lin let out a long breath, and relaxed his tense spirit.
Tang Fang didn't say much, said: "Let's go", and continued to walk forward, and the two followed.
Walking forward, Emma sent a message during the journey from the ruins to the intact area. Mohandar found some residual information in the clone training facility database that the mechanical intelligence brain had not yet destroyed, and was uploading it through the system. To planetary command center.
What he is most interested in now is not the preparation technology of cloning, but the location of the sanctuary where Noah lives, but he still spares some energy to casually browse through the information sent by Mohandar.
Not to mention, there are some materials that really interest him, including the working principle of the main gun of the Odyssey, the Purgatory Gate, and simple information about the "Blessing of Light" carried by the White Knight and the "Heart of Darkness" carried by the Black Knight. I want to come to the clones of Black Wing, White Knight, and Tripathi after undergoing biochemical transformation in the library, and then entered the clone training facility for secondary modulation.
As early as the Odyssey activated the purgatory gate for the first time, he felt something was wrong, as if the energy to kill flying epic creatures was not owned by the battleship itself, but borrowed from somewhere. At this time, when I received the summons from Mohandar, I suddenly realized why I felt that way.
The large-scale plasma storm ejected by the Odyssey is indeed borrowed, and the lender is the central star of the Arkworld.
When the gate of purgatory was activated for the first time, the detectors detected an unusual reaction from the central star of the Arkworld. Because he was busy changing the operating parameters of the star core solar transmission module at that time, he didn't care about the abnormality. Now it seems that it is not groundless.
The working principle of the Purgatory Gate is to open a wormhole inside the star and the center of the ring, and then lead to a destructive plasma wave, which will cover a large area of airspace and destroy groups of enemy warships.
Just imagine, if the Odyssey intervenes in the disputes of sovereign states in human society, with the strength of their warships, what will happen to them in the face of the great shift of the purgatory gate?
Not to mention the fleets of sovereign countries, even the mixed warships of the Supreme Security Council, it is impossible to survive a blow of this scale.
It is a pity that this fortress ship, which Noah devoted a lot of love to, was eventually destroyed under the siege of the Zerg Air Force and epic creatures. It has never left the Arkworld from its birth to its death, let alone left a trace of color in human history.
Although the Truth of the Silver Eagle Group tends to be a demon ship in people's minds, it is known to people and history. But the fortress ship named after the epic in front of him did not meet Noah's expectations and became a thing of praise for all generations, but sank in the barren land of Paradise Star, desecrated by war, and buried by brown dust.
Those feelings and emotions were still lingering in my heart, and suddenly, my consciousness was pulled into the system space by a force.
The background light weakened, the four racial emblems went out one by one, the interface changed from bright to dark, the cursor flashed several times, and with a brisk ticking sound, a line of characters flashed.
"system, restart... ok!"
"init..."
"prepare, dates..."
"Update...17%...28%...85%...99%..."
"release."
"run, now!"
"..."
With a low hum, the system went back online, the base selection interface appeared, and the totem lit up brightly.
Then came Emma's prompt: "Commander, change the address according to the memory pool data recorded in the system log. The new element is located in the protoss base, and the quantity is 1."
"Protoss base?" Tang Fang was a little surprised, and quickly turned his attention to the Prosper base, looking for the location of new elements.
Select the probe, press the basic warp and advanced warp menus, no new elements are found, then switch to the functional building, and find that the zealot option of the warp gate lights up with a silver-white breathing light.
Continue to press the shortcut key to enter the Zealot submenu, and then see that the whirlwind Zealot between Zealot and Centurion has been unlocked and is highlighted.
The Whirlwind Zealot is a unique Protoss unit in the Legacy of the Void expansion pack, which can be regarded as an advanced unit of the Zealot. Different from ordinary zealots, they are equipped with psionic weapons sealed in the Spear of Adun armory, so as to gain more powerful combat power to protect the tribe.
The notes provided by the system show that Cyclone Fanatic has two major advanced components.
1. Whirlwind: For a well-trained templar, with the ancient weapon sealed by the Spear of Adun, it is like inserting a pair of wings under the ribs of a tiger. The psychic battle ax can maximize the destructive power of psychic energy , when the templar swings this two-handed weapon, it can create a powerful psionic shock wave, causing serious damage to enemies on the path of the battle ax swing.
Second, psionic attire: These heavy and rigorous ancient armors can only be controlled by the strongest templars. They are so powerful that not even the famous Hydralisk needles can pierce through this thick armor. Key devices such as crystal arrays, navigation systems, plasma shield launchers, and psionic fiber bundles are also additionally protected, which greatly improves the survivability of the whirlwind fanatic on the battlefield.
The whirlwind fanatic also has the "charge" skill, and on this basis there is also a "whirlwind slash". In the game, it is shown to cause damage to all hostile units around it, which can be called an AOE magic skill.
The cost of whirlwind fanatics is comparable to that of ordinary fanatics, 100 crystals, and the population occupies 2.
In this way, there will be another choice for protoss infantry in the days to come, and it is no longer limited to centurions.
After browsing the new unit, Tang Fang turned his attention back to the real space. After asking Emma, he found out that the information for unlocking the whirlwind fanatic comes from an experimental model of power armor recorded in the God Armed Database.
In fact, this is just a conceptual weapon. Its design concept comes from the Heart of Darkness and the Grace of Light, and it also combines some Ipsilon material technology. There is a long way to go, which is why the mechanical intelligence did not delete this data first.
After confirming that there was nothing more to pay attention to, he greeted Tang Lin and Claire and continued to sneak forward.
Based on the data from Zeratul and various scouts, Emma constructed a three-dimensional topographic map, marking the ruined area, normal area, location of key equipment, patrol routes of the mechanical intelligent brain squad, and other information.
As time went by and the investigation progressed, the inner contours of this heavily guarded fan blade structure became clearer and clearer.
Just when he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the temple, and the target was narrowed down to the key defensive area of 5 clones, a dark templar in the outer section of the fan blade suddenly sent a warning --- he was attacked A surprise attack by a clone patrol lurking in the ruined area.
Like toppled dominoes, several scouts distributed in the building structures inside and outside the fan blades sent warning messages one after another. Either they encountered an ambush by the clone patrol team and fell into trouble, or they were targeted by mechanical intelligence brains and space reconnaissance ships. It was difficult.
His mood suddenly became very bad, and he didn't know where he was showing his feet, but he was noticed by the enemy.
This emotion came and went quickly, because a figure that suddenly broke into his field of vision interrupted his contemplation.
