Chapter 58 Changes in the Battle Situation
"What happened?" Aros was awakened by the alarm and asked with a frown.
Tang Fang thought about it and switched back to the holographic projection interface of the entire ruins again. He saw that an area above the crust and close to the surface was being wrapped by a flashing red light.
"The system's alarm program was activated, and it appears that someone has broken into the data core of the general control center."
"Master control center?"
Tang Fang nodded: "I explained to you before that Nami Star is equivalent to the refining factory of Ipsilon, and the room we are in is just the control room of a refining module, and there are more than 100 rooms like this. Relatively speaking For these more than 100 nodes, there is also a general control hub for communication, data collection, planetary environment detection, etc. For security reasons, it is not underground, but on the surface.”
"On the surface? Is it the place where we encountered the statue guard? It's in the strong acid vapor zone, how could anyone pass safely?"
Tang Fang shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not the general control center, it's the cargo terminal where the Ipsilon people use to park cargo ships and transport Origin Element and its isotopes."
"Where is that?"
In order to more intuitively display the geographic orientation of the master control center, the Tang Fang command system switched to the plane map mode.
"This is... the logistics base of the 3789 division?" The two suddenly realized.
"The main control center contains various parameters for the operation of the relic equipment, as well as various technical reserves related to refining projects such as construction, maintenance, and upgrades. I don't want these data to fall into the hands of the military."
Aros thought for a while and said, "Since you have obtained the highest authority in the system, why not just delete those data?"
Tang Fang shook his head again: "The master control center is independent of the ruins refining system, blocking all external permissions. Unless I enter directly, there is no good way for me."
"The guys in the empire, what can they do when they go in? With their half-deciphering skills, they can at most get some scraps and take care of him."
Tang Fang fell silent. What Hausen said was right. With the means of the Mengya Empire, at most one or two edge technologies could be deciphered. Compared with the technology tree required for the entire refining project, it was a drop in the bucket.
However, as a future enemy, with Tang Fang's character that must be repaid, he doesn't want to leave it to the empire, let alone half a hair.
As a result, there is a surplus of savings on hand, as long as you don't fight head-on, it's enough to deal with those people in the 3789 division. Second, the corpse of the one-eyed monster will not fly away with its wings attached. Collecting those resource points early or late does not have much impact.
Prioritizing things, preventing the Empire from acquiring Ipsilon technology is the current top priority.
With a decision in his heart, he found a lifting platform closest to the main control center, marked it, and then sent the action route map to the navigation system of the power armor, greeted the two of them, went to the upper floor of the room via the elevator, and activated the talisman. Wen door, quickly walked out of the control room.
On the way to the lifting platform, Tang Fang counted the existing combat units.
The Zerg combat power is as follows: Worker Bee X1, Queen Bug X8, Spinal Needle Reptile X5, Cockroach X8, King Bug X8, the total population is 33/66.
Human strength: One SCV, X6 machine gunners, X6 predators, total population 19/82.
Protoss combat power: Probe X1, total population 1/42.
The loss of combat power is almost 70%.
Compared with the total resources of crystal 6570 and gas 8450, Tang Fang first upgraded the Zerg hatchery to a wormhole, and then quickly pressed the research hotkeys of the skills of "belly sac" and "gasification carapace", and the resource value was sharply reduced to crystal. 3420, Gas 5350.
This time, he rarely had any pain in the flesh, because nothing is more important than being alive. By studying the "abdominal sac" and "gasification carapace", the king bug has acquired the ability to carry and speed up, which means that once encountering an enemy that is difficult to resist , he can escape in time.
As for the replenishment of the troops, he was not in a hurry. There was a control room on the way to the general control center, where he could stop for a while and collect some resources before going on the road.
...
After running at full speed for 10 minutes, the long and narrow mechanical workshop came to an end. The three of them activated the rune gate and stepped into the corridor, turned right through the T-shaped fork, and entered a relay point of the transportation network connecting the refinery modules like a weft.
Stepping onto the lifting platform, setting the destination, adjusting the driving speed to the maximum, and greeting the two behind him to stabilize their bodies, Tang Fang pressed the run button on the control panel.
The lifting platform slowly rose, entered an orange-yellow crystal corridor, and then quickly slid north.
The driving speed is getting faster and faster, and in just three minutes, the speed will climb to a terrifying 800KM per hour. It may be that the crystal tunnel has a wonderful ability to adjust the biological force field, or it may be that Tang Fang revised the inertial supply standard of the lifting platform. Not only did Aros and Hausen not feel the load brought by the high-speed movement to the body organs, on the contrary, You can also chat and fart, and move freely.
The platform continues to increase speed, 1000KM/hour, 1200KM/hour... and finally accelerates to the terrifying speed of Mach 3 (3600KM/hour).
It took half an hour, the speed gradually slowed down, and then went east through the fork, and stopped after ten minutes.
The three walked north along the route shown on the navigator, passed the mechanical workshop, turned left and entered the control room. After collecting the resources, they continued on their way non-stop.
Since the one-eyed monster in the ruins was eliminated by Tang Fang, those bat monsters also seemed to be frightened and disappeared. The three arrived at their destination without any danger, boarded the lift platform, and quickly walked towards the surface.
At this time, the resource value of the system space changes to 6920 for crystal and 9350 for gas. Tang Fang thought for a while, then spent 2,500 crystals and 2,500 chi to study the "burrowing ground" of the Zerg ground units and the "digging claws" skills of the cockroaches.
Why should study these two skills, Tang Fang has his own considerations. On the Nami Star battlefield, there are two potential enemies, one is the 3789 division of the Yamon Empire, and the other is the "Silver Wing Wind" mechanized infantry division of the Sulu Empire.
Both can be said to have hatred for him. With his current strength, no matter which one he faces, it is not a wise move to fight head-on.
His current advantage lies in the fact that the enemy is secretive, and he is equipped with three combat units with different racial abilities: human, god, and insect. He uses flexible racial skills, and uses surprise and ambush as a strategic policy. In this way, he can effectively avoid himself. Inflicting casualties on his subordinates while giving the enemy a head-on attack.
As far as the current situation is concerned, cockroaches are the best ambush.
The cockroach, the main mid-range combat unit of the Zerg, is wearing heavy armor and can spit acid to attack enemies in the distance.
Its only disadvantage is that it cannot output to the air, but compared to 75 crystals, 25 gas, and the super-valued cost of occupying 2 people, what is this?
Cockroaches have one active skill and three passive skills.
The active skill is "burrowing" to gain stealth.
Passive Skill 1: "Neural Collagen Reorganization", which can increase the movement speed of cockroaches.
Passive Skill 2: "Dug Claws", different from other ground units of the Zerg that cannot move after "burrowing". After researching "Dug Claws", cockroaches can get the effect of walking through the ground.
Passive Skill 3: "Polar Regeneration", the roaches in the burrowing state will recover their injuries at a very fast speed.
To sum up, "Dive" cooperates with "Dug Claws" to conduct sneak attack operations, which is simply an assault skill. The enemy has radar, which can effectively detect aerial threats, but how to defend underground?
The size of the cockroach is equivalent to a hatchback car, and the acid it spits can melt iron and etch gold, which is used to deal with armored vehicles, which is more efficient than any armor-piercing projectiles.
Just imagine, a group of tank killers ambushed underground suddenly burst out of the ground and launched a surprise attack on the armored troops at close range. What would it be like?
Panzer division? mechanized? Faced with cockroaches that move subtly, that's a joke!
8 cockroaches obviously could not meet the needs of the battle. After hatching a king worm and raising the population limit to 74, Tang Fang added 16 cockroaches in one breath. Next, he hatched 18 puppies as a mobile force.
Watching the resource value drop to 2470, 6450. Tang Fang nodded and stopped operating the system.
At the same time, the speed of the lifting platform also slowed down, and as the overhead gate slowly opened, the three finally returned to the surface.
However, when the three of them walked out of the hidden lift shaft and just stood firm, a flash of light flashed across the sky, and the armed shuttle with flaming flames plunged into a rocky mountain not far away, crashing into a piece of debris.
The endless void above the head shone with brilliance, and the flashes of the hull and missile explosions were like fireworks of various colors under the night of the New Year.
Hausen looked at the sky, looked at the ground, looked at the wreckage of the armed shuttle, and looked at the dazzling fire on the horizon, with a ghostly expression on his face: "Why did the two sides start fighting after only three days of seeing each other? That's all, why even the fleet in the sky is fighting."
