Chapter 407 Exploding Mosquito
The blue arc of light instantly illuminated the entire hangar, and the raging lightning almost enveloped the huge "Tai Sui".
"Hiss... hiss..." With a roar, the pistil-shaped mouthparts on the top of "Tai Sui" squirmed quickly, and a brown slurry overflowed from the originally smooth body, and it filled the whole body in the blink of an eye. And those psychic lightning strikes on the thick slurry seemed to be relieved of their strength, and were finally absorbed and refined by the slowly flowing viscous slurry.
The psychic lightning that compressed the range of influence to less than 100 meters lasted for several minutes, but it slowly faded away. Tang Fang thought that it would cause fatal damage to "Tai Sui", but he never thought that the next scene made him feel terrified. stunned.
"Tai Sui" actually swallowed the psychic lightning produced by the high-ranking Templar, swallowed it...
The viscous slurry is like water absorbed by a sponge, and slowly penetrates into the body of "Tai Sui". Then, it was like a giant gluttonous beast that had a full meal, its chubby body trembling, and then, one, two, three... Countless bulges protruded from its round body surface, gradually connecting into one piece, from a distance Looking around, it seems to have gained weight.
"Tai Sui" not only widens horizontally, but also increases the height by more than 2 meters.
Tang Fang stared blankly at the scene in front of him: "Emma, why is this happening?"
"Commander, although psionic energy and the electrical energy in your body are somewhat similar in form, they are actually not the same substance. In today's cosmic environment, high-ranking templars use psionic energy to trigger 'psychic lightning', and its performance The form is an ion storm, that is: a large number of charged ions converge into thunder and lightning, causing burning, electric shock and other effects on the target."
"Even though this 'ion storm' is several times stronger than ordinary thunderstorms, charged ions are bound by the laws of the universe and cannot go beyond the speed of light at all. Therefore, the energy possessed by a single electron has its upper limit."
"However, this speed of light barrier does not apply to you, Commander. There are a large number of extremely compressed electrons stored in the electronic space of the system. Under the gravitational field of Baidao, these electrons rotate at an angular speed far exceeding the speed of light. It is conceivable that, Once the commander invokes them, what a powerful destructive force it will produce."
"To sum up, the commander can destroy the vitality of the 'Tai Sui' organization, but it does not mean that the 'Psionic Storm' of the high-ranking templar has the same effect."
"Oh?" Tang Fang frowned. Emma's explanation was very simple, and he understood everything, just because he understood. So I was even more confused: "Emma, you... what do you mean by that? The angular velocity of the spinning electrons in my mind can break through the barrier of light speed? Are you kidding me!"
Emma was silent for a while before uttering a sentence: "Commander, I wonder if you've heard the word 'parallel universe'?"
"Parallel universe? I've heard a little bit about it.
"
"As we all know, there are hundreds of millions of star systems in the Milky Way, and a system like the Milky Way is only one billionth of the current universe. Countless galaxies, large and small, are distributed in the ever-expanding space-time like a network. This is The universe you are in right now."
"The universe is also not unique. There are many parallel universes outside the current universe. In these parallel universes, there may be no concept of time or space. Even the material composition is different from the current universe. To put it simply, they have different cosmological constants. Therefore, the barrier to the speed of light that exists in the current universe does not necessarily apply to parallel universes."
"You mean...the system space belongs to the category of parallel universes?"
"Let's put it that way."
"Are you kidding, if the system space is a parallel universe, then what have I become?"
Emma hesitated for a while before saying a word: "Humanoid wormhole."
"You are a wormhole, your whole family is a wormhole!" Tang Fang was a little excited.
"Commander, I just chose an adjective that you can understand. To be precise, you are actually not only the controller of the 'Bai Dao-based super-dimensional Vientiane Ball' system, but also a scalar quantity that can..."
"Stop. Stop, stop! I'll continue to be my humanoid wormhole." Tang Fang felt that complaining about Emma was just to make himself uncomfortable.
Interrupting the adjutant's chattering explanation, he shifted his mind from the system space back to "Tai Sui".
The piece of rotten meat that devoured the fanatic and was chopped off by him finally crawled back to the mother's feet, and merged into the main body of "Tai Sui" like water droplets converging with fluid.
The rotten flesh turned into a lump, and the skin of Tai Sui squirmed for a moment, and then slowly returned to smoothness. At the same time, the body of "Tai Sui" swelled slightly.
From devouring fanatics to absorbing psychic lightning, "Tai Sui" is like a cat who has tasted fresh fish, and his appetite suddenly increases. Hundreds of tentacles under his body stretch out and twist into spears, like lightning Leap into the zealots and high templars that surround it.
In a moment of thought, the energy ball on the back of the mechanical sentinel flashed, setting up force fields one after another in the midair. At the same time, the fanatic launched the "Charge" skill from below, rushed to the side of "Tai Sui" in the blink of an eye, jumped up with a "swish", and pierced the round torso with the psionic blade on his wrist.
At the same time, taking advantage of the force field to block the rain of spears, he quickly put away the high-level templars, and then released 8 stalkers to cooperate with the fanatics to besiege "Tai Sui" with all his strength.
"Bah..." The psionic sharp blade pierced the skin, and there was a sharp tearing sound of cloth.
With the help of gravity, the sharp blades in the hands of 11 fanatics slashed to the end, forcibly cutting 11 thick gaps in the body of "Tai Sui", and countless gray-brown mucus flowed down. On the other side, the stalker's attack hit the surface of "Tai Sui", but only formed bowl-sized "craters" one after another.
"What's going on?" The psychic blade of the fanatic can easily cut through the skin of "Tai Sui", but the hunter can only make a few holes the size of a bowl? Tang Fang felt a little bad in his heart.
Sure enough, before he could recall the zealots, the gray-brown mucus that flowed all over the ground suddenly shot out sticky threads, like a spider entwining its prey, wrapping the 11 zealots with lightning speed.
After about 3 or 5 breaths, the sticky silk softened into a pool of rotten flesh, and slowly retracted back to the mother body, leaving only 11 sets of golden battle armor around. And the wounds caused by the zealots and the hunters were also filled with mucus, and they returned to normal in a blink of an eye.
"It turns out that not only the minced meat formed after the tentacles are severed can attack the target. The mucus it secretes also has the same purpose, and... the healing and regeneration capabilities are too amazing."
Although "Tai Sui" has similar abilities to the parasites encountered by the Beijiao Research Institute. However, the pressure on Tang Fang was quite different. When in Rector. The parasites encountered are capable of devouring and parasitic organisms, but they do not have the troublesome differentiation ability, and the speed of tissue regeneration is also much slower.
And what about the "Tai Sui" in front of you? Regardless of his inability to move, when it comes to the weirdness and agility of his attacks, the former is hard to beat.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" At this moment, there was a crisp sound above his head, and when he looked up quickly, he saw that the tentacles and spears that were twisted together were actually entangled. A swollen hammerhead-shaped structure was formed in front, and it was beating hard on the force field arranged by the mechanical sentry.
There were waves of fluctuations in the air, and finally, with a bang, the force field was shattered. At this time, bulges appeared one after another in front of the thick meat hammer that was originally entangled in a ball, like a rocket launcher of an armed helicopter, ejecting a large number of parasitic follicles.
Next, Tang Fang was taken aback, he tiptoed forward a little, and the whole person quickly jumped backwards. Dangerously dodged the shoots of the follicles.
The 8 stalkers cast "flicker" when he leaps back, turning into afterglows, or moving forward. Or back, or teleport to the left and right for a certain distance, and easily avoid the parasitic follicles. However, the two mechanical sentries were not so lucky, and were hit by the energy core by the high-firing follicles.
However, to Tang Fang's surprise, the parasitic follicles failed to absorb the energy of the mechanical sentinel, and only let the energy core run wild. With a burst of dazzling flashes, the two mechanical sentinels turned into a pile of metal wreckage.
same moment. There was a mournful cry from the left, and Tang Fang turned his head to take a look. 2 puppies used for reconnaissance were accidentally shot by parasitic follicles, and then. The 6 petals opened slowly, and the gray-brown follicles gradually turned blood red.
The puppy's body twisted and changed, the sharp mouth split from the middle, and the mucus and blood pulled out a long tissue mucous membrane. After four or five breaths, two two-headed vicious dogs with exquisite blood on their heads appeared in front of Tang Fang.
As summoned objects, they were supposed to share vision and information with their masters, but at this moment, the connection between the two suddenly disappeared.
Seeing the two-headed dog turn its direction and bark its teeth and growl at him a few times, Tang Fang's face darkened a bit. He thought that these parasitic follicles only have the ability to parasitize and assimilate, but he didn't expect that they also have the ability to induce mutation and mind control ability.
If they were human beings, they might have guessed from the previous fights that Tang Fang was the "body" of these combat units. As long as he was killed, all problems would be solved.
On the other hand, "Tai Sui" is conscious, but the intelligence level is not very high. It only left two two-headed dogs to deal with Tang Fang, and the rest of the tentacles were still divided and twisted into spears, chasing the hunters and immortals fiercely.
The speed of the stalker is very fast, and they have the skill of "blinking", and the attack method is also long-range. "Tai Sui" can't catch them all like dealing with fanatics. Similarly, the stalker can't break through the defense of "Tai Sui". The particle fragmentation gun, a big killer capable of destroying the molecular bonds of matter, has nothing to do with the body fluid of "Tai Sui".
On the other hand, the Immortal's movement speed is not fast, but it is equipped with something like a fortitude shield, and the tentacles and spears cannot penetrate it. Even if the brown body fluid is used, the speed of corroding the fortitude shield is surprisingly slow. However, similar to the stalker's attack, the phaser cannon of the immortal is also difficult to cause fatal damage to the target.
Tang Fang did not face the two-headed dog himself, but summoned a siege tank and two Goliath armed robots to stand in front of him.
Judging from previous battles, "Tai Sui" is far more harmful to organic life than mechanical units. Fanatics and high-level templars cannot be used anymore, and psionic energy will be absorbed by it. For Zerg units, puppies are a living example. If you release Zerg units such as cockroaches and hydralisks, it is no less than shooting yourself in the foot.
Since "Tai Sui" can't devour metal, human units can be used, but...will it be weaker in terms of attack power?
Thinking of this, he ordered two Goliath armed robots to drag the two-headed dog, and at the same time commanded the siege tank to turn the turret and blast two plasma balls at "Tai Sui".
"Pfft!" The plasma ball exploded, and the high-temperature plasma burned a circle of black scars on the target's body surface. "Tai Sui" twitched a few times, and then secreted some body fluids, and the scars recovered in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." There was a whistling sound. "Tai Sui" subconsciously split out several tentacle spears and shot at the siege tank.
After upgrading the "Human Chariot and Ship Armor LV2", the siege tank fully explained what it means to have rough skin and thick flesh, and its tentacles and spears repeatedly hit the car body. Surprisingly, only gaps were left in the armor layer, and no fatal damage was caused to the siege tank.
certainly. Tang Fang would never underestimate the power of spears because of this. Emma said that after the siege tanks have been upgraded to "human tank and ship armor lv2", what can cause this level of damage is roughly equivalent to the caliber armor-piercing bullets.
You must know that these few spears are only one percent of the total tentacles of "Tai Sui", even if the siege tank is like this, if it is replaced by machine gunners, wouldn't it be a direct blow to the heart? Not to mention his harsh environment suit.
Since the plasma cannon can't seriously damage "Tai Sui". So what if it was Widow Ray? Not to mention a few, even if dozens of them explode together, there is probably nothing they can do.
Judging by its size, it is more than ten times worse than the giant snake, and it is also a whole circle smaller than Xieyan, but in terms of difficulty, it is even worse.
Taking advantage of the siege tank to attract the attention of "Tai Sui", Tang Fang entered a state of invisibility, sneaked to a high platform, and aimed at the stamen-shaped mouthparts on the upper part of the meat ball. Some high-energy electrons are drawn out to attach to the high-explosive grenade, and the trigger is pulled hard.
"Bang!" The airflow oscillated the barrel, and the high-explosive grenade hit the core.
Just listen to "boom". When the grenade exploded and the flames surged, the burst of high-energy electrons formed a storm of sub-particles, which immediately made the three "flammulina velutipes" lose their vitality, then shriveled and shrunk, and fell limply.
"Hiss..." There was a thin crack in the center of the stamen, and "Tai Sui" let out a long and sad hiss.
Tang Fang, who was in the invisible state, felt a chill in his heart, secretly said: "Not good", and hurriedly turned over and jumped off the high platform.
His front foot just left. There are hundreds of parasitic follicles flying towards the hind legs. The harsh environment protective clothing has bonuses to physical strength, agility, endurance, etc., but it does not mean that Tang Fang is superhuman.
Jump off a platform several meters high. It is unavoidable to need a buffer when landing, but the number of parasitic follicles shot out by "Tai Sui" due to rage. Covering a radius of tens of meters like a rain of arrows, he heard the screaming in front of him, Tang Fang couldn't dodge in time, he waved his hand eagerly, and with a "snap", caught the parasitic vell that shot directly at his left shoulder in the palm of his hand.
According to his original intention, he wanted to mobilize the high-energy electron flow in the system space to directly destroy this follicle.
However, an unexpected scene happened. Just as he was about to guide the current out of his body, suddenly, the system space went dark, the interface of the three clans disappeared, and the cursor flickered.
", restart... ok!"
"..."
"s..."
"...12%...36%...78%..."
"release."
"w!"
"..."
"Buzz..." Accompanied by an electronic buzzer, the menu interface was restored and the base returned.
"What's the situation?" Tang Fang was stunned, and looked up at "Tai Sui". That big guy is still alive and well. It is true that the high-explosive grenade did some damage to it, but it was not fatal.
"Tai Sui" is still alive and well, but the genetic structure of the parasitic follicles has brought an upgrade to the system?
According to past experience, if this kind of prompt appears, it should be that the first generation of Zerg has joined. What is it?
As the old saying goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place", released a person to attract the attention of "Tai Sui", Tang Fang did not move a single step, sank his mind into the system space, switched to the Zerg base, and selected a larva ,
"Worker bees, puppies, king worms...Huh? This is..." After seeing the extra options in the production column, he was stunned: "Is it an explosive mosquito?"
The Explosive Mosquito is a sharp weapon against enemy air units in StarCraft 1, similar to the Baneling in StarCraft 2. It uses the strong corrosive body fluid in the body to produce an ablation effect on the target.
Explosive Mosquitoes are small in size and weak in defense, but they are very fast. They can produce two at a time and only occupy 0.5 units. In StarCraft 1 battles, 6 blasters can crash a battlecruiser. Of course, this is absolutely impossible in reality.
However, by comparing the cost of the Baneling and the Exploding Mosquito, Tang Fang discovered a problem. Two Exploding Mosquitoes cost 25 crystals and 75 gas, but the Baneling cost 100 crystals and 50 gas.
Considering that the most difficult resource in the interstellar system is not crystals but gas, blasters should be more precious than banelers.
Banelings have a splash effect. According to past war experience, the damage range is about tens of meters. However, the Explosive Mosquito does not have a strong splash effect in the official data, and the cost is more expensive than the Baneling. This can only explain one problem, the damage value of the Explosive Mosquito to the attack point is very high.
Banelings' corrosive bodily fluids can eat through the armor of light vehicles. It is conceivable that crispy air units such as aerospace fighters, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and bombers will end up once they encounter explosive mosquitoes.
As for space battleships, they may be able to withstand the suicide attacks of explosive mosquitoes with their thick armor, but what about peripherals such as radar antennas, turrets, fish/missile launch tubes, sensor equipment, and communicators? ? The explosive mosquitoes are very small in size, and hitting them with the main guns of the battleship is simply hitting mosquitoes with cannons. Corruptors, flying dragons, plus a large number of explosive mosquitoes, such a combination is frightening to think about. (to be continued)
