Chapter 290 New Power
"Emma, update the report." Tang Fang asked impatiently.
"Commander, the production menu of the heavy factory has been updated, and two combat units, the vulture chariot and the Goliath robot, have been added. At the same time, the research items of the attached pylon technology laboratory have also been refreshed."
"As expected." He chuckled, and turned his attention to the heavy factory in the Terran base, selected it with the cursor, and glanced at the production menu on the right. The number of producible items has been increased from the original 4 to the current 6.
"What a Vulture Chariot and a Goliath Robot!"
Vulture Chariot, also known as Scavenger Air Cushion Vehicle, Thunder Vehicle, among the scientific and technological units of the Terran in the StarCraft era, the hovering glide vulture chariot is mainly used for reconnaissance and patrolling, and they can travel at a speed of 230-370 miles per hour March. Standard armament is an individual grenade launcher, but the new Vulture model also carries a Spider-Ray-Blay system to defend the perimeter of the base.
In terms of attack, a single soldier grenade launcher alone cannot cause too much damage to heavy vehicles. The truly terrifying aspect of the Vulture Chariot is its powerful Spider-Reblay system. Although the Spider Mine is not as destructive as its advanced weapon, the Widow Mine. But it is cheap, and has systems such as curved light stealth, self-tracking, tracking, and simplicity. It can accurately and effectively kill individual soldiers, as well as light and medium vehicle units. The Goliath robot can also increase the propulsion of the missile by configuring the Charon voltage regulator, and can also upgrade the targeting system, so that the Hellfire anti-aircraft missile has a longer range and higher accuracy.
To control the Goliath robot, the driver straps himself into a "basket". Let the robot simulate the movements of its own limbs through the computer. As for controlling weapons and other content that is difficult to control with the body, it is done by voice control. These maneuvers require so much practice that their drivers go through six months of training.
Then, Tang Fang moved the cursor to two items. The cost of the vulture chariot is 75 crystals, and the population is 2. The cost of the Goliath robot is 100 crystals, 50 gas, and the population is also 2. Upgraded Ion Thrusters allow the Vulture to move at speeds of up to 370 mph, making it more agile and agile. Deploying the Spider Mine System, as the name suggests, grants the Vulture the ability to lay spider mines.
As for the installation of the Charon regulator, the Goliath robot will have a longer anti-air range.
Upgrading an Ion Thruster costs the same as deploying a Spider-Raybrae System. Both are 1000 crystals and 1000 gas. Adding a Calon regulator is 1500 crystals and 1500 gas.
According to Emma's estimation, it will take about a month to complete the "Nano Neural Network Electric Pulse Expansion Plan". During this period, presumably the Rector government will not sit idly by and ignore them. In the days to come, defending the Institute and Tang Lin will inevitably be a very difficult task.
Maybe the entire northern suburb of Wendenbat will become a battlefield.
Lancelot is not a cowardly person. He will definitely mobilize the entire Rector army to suppress him. In the next month, there will be a tough battle waiting for him.
However, with the ground thorns, the vulture chariot and the pervasive, flexible and weird spider mines, he will let the government's army have a good taste of the butt blossoming.
As for the air force, with Viking fighters and Goliath robots, it should be difficult for Rector's air force to take advantage. Of course, if Lancelot is full enough to get a few battleships down, he doesn't mind letting the young and promising lord have a taste of flying dragons riding on his face.
After his mind exited from the system space, Tang Fang took a deep breath, and was about to put away the "Smart Core" and go out, when suddenly, Emma's voice sounded: "Commander, I found a strange phenomenon, this system update removes the manufacturing of heavy factories, In addition to the upgrade project, a strange document with the title '', unknown creation date, unknown signature, and unknown size suddenly appeared in the computer of the star trail command center. I tried to transfer it to the isolated area, opened it in the virtual system environment, and found Its content is very short, only a few numbers, it should be an azimuth coordinate value."
"Weird document? Azimuth coordinate value?"
"Yes, if you compare the Milky Way star map, the coordinates should be located in the Tianchao star area of the Hillenbel region." While speaking, a picture of the star map appeared in Tang Fang's mind, together with Emma's circle coordinate point.
"The 'Sea of Dead Silence' in the Tianchao star region?" Tang Fang was stunned.
The so-called Sea of Dead Silence is a "no-man's land" in the Tianchao Star District with a space-time span of 1,800 light-years. This area does not contain any tangible interstellar matter such as stars, planets, or even stardust. It is a vast vacuum desert, and it is also a natural dividing line between the Hillenbel Region and the Ascot Region. Even if you take the fastest space shuttle, it will take more than 3 years to go back and forth.
For more than 200 years, countless scientists and adventurers have explored the dead sea for many years, but they have never found anything valuable. Just like its name, there is definitely a dead sea, except for nothingness or nothingness. Boring guys jokingly call the Dead Sea the entrance to hell.
What the hell is going on with this coordinate? Why does it point to the dead sea? He racked his brains and thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason. "Emma, what do you think?"
"I'm sorry Commander, I can't make a reasonable judgment without conducting field investigations."
"Are you sure this coordinate point comes from the 'Smart Chip'? It didn't exist before?" Tang Fang took out another chip from Crotan from the storage module of the shoulder armor, and looked back and forth. Said.
"Commander, I checked the system log again, yes, this file definitely appeared just after the system was updated."
He looked at the two chips over and over several times, and finally settled on a section. Put two chips towards the middle for a pair. A strange phenomenon happened, the cross-sections were tightly occluded, and there were no fixed gaps in the middle. It's like the two were originally fragments of a complete core core.
The combination of the two chips has a rectangular structure, but there is a large irregular hole in the center. Holding the two chips in one hand, Tang Fang held them high above his head, looked at them again and again with the light on the ceiling: "If I guessed correctly, there should be another 'Smart Chip'. Could it be...that coordinate is the last one. Where is the chip?"
"Forget it, we'll talk about it in the future. The first task right now is to solve Tang Lin's physical problems. Well, there is also a defensive battle against Rector's government forces."
Putting the two "smart cores" into the storage module of the shoulder armor, Tang Fang turned and walked out of the laboratory. Next, he did not return to the command center immediately, but went around the energy warehouse of the research institute, looting all the source element zero that Faraday used for research.
Perhaps it is because Faraday's research direction is biased towards bioengineering. The No. 0 source element reserve in the energy warehouse is not large. According to Emma's measurement, excluding the need for the treatment plan, it has absorbed a total of 4000 gas values.
After breaking through the police blockade, the Lanna Military Academy was captured. In a series of battles such as the research institute break-in battle, the resource value in the system space is 322925 crystals and 70815 gas.
The three family units are as follows:
Zerg: Overlord X75, Eyeworm X30, Puppy X388, Queen X87, Cockroach X147, Flying Dragon X60, Ground Spike X1 Spine Reptile X88, population 784/842.
Protoss: Probe X1, Zealot X265, Stalker X37, Dragon Knight X44, Mechanical Sentinel X34, High Templar X2, population 764/1000.
Terran: Machine Gunner X153, Reaper X8, Marauder X16, Firebat X14, Medic X24, Hellion Chariot X25, Siege Tank X36, Viking Fighter X87, Medical Transporter X18, Population 578/1000 .
Thinking of the severe situation he will face next, he first clicked on the options of "Deploy the Spider Ray Bray System" and "Install the Charon Voltage Regulator", and then added 40 Vulture chariots and 30 Goliath robots into production sequence.
The resource value dropped to 312005, 64315. A few minutes later, there was an extra mechanical force in the Terran base, and the total population soared to 718/1000.
Immediately afterwards, he shifted his mind to the Zerg base, hatched 20 king worms and 30 hydralisks in a row, and directed 20 of them to mutate into ground thorns. This process consumes 10,000 crystals and 3,500 gas. Total resources continue to decrease, to 302005,60815. Zerg units have increased to 844/1000.
After completing this series of tasks, he produced 4 more in a row. Together with the original one, he followed the design drawing of the plug-in device provided by Emma and used various resources in the research institute to enter the busy work.
When Tang Fang returned to the command center, Valentine had been waiting with two researchers for a long time. On the other side, the mopping-up team led by 4 also exterminated the blood wolf warriors in the research institute. As for some engineers, logistics personnel, and civilian officers, they were uniformly locked up in a cell in Area C where experimental materials were kept. .
As an anthropologist and medical worker, Valentine is quite compassionate. After learning the purpose of their trip from Tang Fang, the old man volunteered, hoping to stay and assist in the treatment. He only hoped that he could let go of the coerced researchers and some engineering and logistics personnel.
Tang Fang rejected the request and briefly explained his considerations.
In the next month, there will definitely be a fierce battle between him and the Rector government. Let those people go back? It's just making yourself unhappy.
Regarding this matter, Valentine himself didn't have much hope. Seeing that he refused, he could only let out a long sigh and didn't say any more.
About 10 minutes later, the roar of fighter planes came from the sky above the research institute. A medical transport plane slowly landed on the apron in the buffer zone around the research institute. Claire, Tang Yun, and Hao Sen with Tang Lin on his back walked out under the protection of two teams of machine gunners.
Aros stayed in place to guard, and Grant led several people into the institute. Bai Hao and Roy, who had dealt with Hercules, also returned to the command center.
After everyone met, there was inevitably another round of conversation. After learning what happened to Bai Hao and Roy, Claire showed sadness. So sad. Howson, on the other hand, continued his consistent style. Getting along with the two and a half boys and going to the restaurant for a drink together slightly dilutes the sadness in Roy's heart.
Tang Yun was very curious about Freya. After all, they are about the same age. It's just that the latter is still in a coma and cannot talk.
Put Tang Lin and Freya in two different wards, and ordered several machine gunners and fanatics to take care of them. Tang Fang came out of the research institute and summoned 20 ground thorns.
When those big spider-like guys appeared in front of Aros and Grant. The two were taken aback. The ground thorn was a circle larger than a siege tank, almost 12 meters long, and its sharp claws were inserted into the ground. Looking from a distance, it shone with a soul-stirring cold light. There are many long and sharp needles growing on its back carapace, and its figure is shaking. Acupuncture up and down, really scary.
Tang Fang swept through the grove between the buffer zone and the iron wire network of the research institute, and gave the command "diving" to 20 ground thorns.
Chick, Chick...
Accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing noises, it is nearly 4 meters high. The 10-meter-wide big guys swarmed and spread out, planing six lower limbs in the circular area of the grove around the research institute, and quickly sneaked into the ground.
The cigar in Aros' mouth was almost exhausted, almost burning his lips. Grant stared blankly at the ground thorns that disappeared at the end of his vision, and murmured, "It... what are they capable of?"
Tang Fang didn't speak, just sneered, but Aros spit out his cigarette: "Poor guys..."
Next, he summoned 40 vulture chariots. Unlike the Hellion, the Vulture is much thinner, more like a battle bike than a car. It's just longer and more dazzling.
The Vulture Chariot is a real single-person vehicle, with a 40mm caliber gun howitzer on the pointed front, an open-air cockpit in the middle, and a simple console. The rear of the car is equipped with a high-pressure air jet device and a propeller group. Under full operation, the speed of the vulture chariot can exceed the speed of sound.
Regarding the spider-ray-blay system, Tang Fang learned some information from the chariot driver that was different from that in the game. Generally speaking, the Vulture Chariot can carry 3 Spider Mines. If it's just a simple mine-laying task, the Vulture Chariot can recall the system space after laying the mines, and then, at an interval of 1 minute, it will re-supply.
After learning about this situation, Tang Fang was very excited for a while, and then ordered the vulture chariots to disperse, and planted spider mines in the isolated area outside the buffer zone lawn and wire netting of the research institute.
40 vulture chariots raised a cloud of dust in the park and drove out quickly. At this moment, Aros, who had always been calm, suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Leave one for me."
Both Tang Fang and Grant looked at him in astonishment. They thought that the veteran didn't care much about weapons and cars. It turned out that he liked these things. However, it's no wonder that when you think about it, there are some stories about men who have experienced vicissitudes of life, they don't like cars very much, they always feel sissy, but this kind of motorcycle with a primitive and wild charm is more suitable for them.
"OK!" Tang Fang threw a vulture driver back into the system space, the veteran stepped into the cockpit, and when he stepped on the gas, a red flame lit up the rear thruster, and the vulture chariot shot out with a "whoosh", Go straight to the south gate of the park.
After the wind and dust raised by 40 vulture chariots subsided, Tang Fang summoned another 30 Goliath robots. These iron guys specially used for air defense operations are 3.7 meters high, with two multifunctional mechanical arms on their upper body, which can be used for engineering operations, and a pair of Hellfire missile launchers on their shoulders. The abdomen is equipped with two 30MM rifled guns, and the lower part is two anti-joint mechanical legs.
Through the performance report sent back by the driver, Tang Fang learned that the Goliath robot can strike the enemy's aircraft from a very long distance with the help of radar, far-infrared enemy tracking, multi-mode guidance and other equipment. The Goliath robot, which has been upgraded with the Calon regulator components, has a range of surface-to-air missiles of more than 50 miles, and can strike enemy fighters with super vision, and even space battleships that have landed in the atmosphere.
Grant's eyelids are jumping, ground thorns, vulture chariots, Goliath robots. After walking around in the research institute, he actually came up with several kinds of combat units. Is this kid Doraemon possessed?
Turning a blind eye, Tang Fang ordered 10 Goliath robots, 10 looters, 10 nurse MMs, and 100 machine gunners to form a patrol force to perform security tasks around the iron wire network in the park. Another 30 siege tanks were summoned, and a tank array was set up between the buffer zone and the square around the research institute.
Then, 20 Hellion chariots were sent out of the park and scattered around some important roads, buildings, and urban facilities in the northern suburbs, and cooperated with the vulture chariots to carry out front-line reconnaissance and patrol operations.
As for the interior of the research institute, the top of the building is guarded by a melee force composed of queens, firebats, zealots, and a large number of puppies.
In the end, he released three more Euglenas, bringing all the airspace of millions of square kilometers around Wendenbat into the scope of reconnaissance. Although what is needed now is time, and it is a temporary delay if it can be delayed for a while. However, as the research institute is the focus of Lord Lancelot's care, the Rector government will definitely find out about the changes here at the first time. Rather than flinching, it's better to put on a dignified posture, raise the middle finger to Governor Roger, and say loudly: "I'm right here, bite me if you have the ability." It's a pleasure to come.
