Chapter 617 The Power of the V-Shaped Phagosome
Just as Tang Fang imagined, the ability of the V-00 phagosomes used to infect battleships to assimilate organic matter was greatly weakened, and the assimilation speed of acidic organic mucus was not enough to offset the corrosive damage they caused.
Some tough fibrous tissues began to melt, and the metal substance of the ship became riddled with holes.
Of course, this can't cause heavy damage to the hybrid warship, not even a flesh injury, because the damaged fibrous tissue will quickly regenerate, and then quickly horny, to delay the encroachment of the phagosome's jet of purple mucus on the ship's hull.
In terms of destructive power alone, the Devourer may be almost the same as the Corruptor, but in terms of form of expression, they are better. They will cause a large area of destruction, rather than the concentrated damage like the latter.
More importantly, the organic matter ejected by the Devourer has a high coagulation force, which can interfere with the operation of battleship turrets, damage sensor devices, antenna towers, and block additional equipment such as missiles/torpedo tubes. Considering the strong mobility, The comprehensive combat level is higher than that of the Corruptor.
The hybrid battleship was disturbed by the jets of the two devourers, and its combat performance declined. It was bombed by the scout fighters who seized the opportunity, and all the side guns and missile systems were destroyed. The relationship between objects cannot move freely and becomes a pair of decorations.
The situation began to develop on the bright side. 2 Devourers are not enough to cause fatal damage to the hybrid battleship. How about 10? What about 20 heads? What about 100 heads? Now that it is known that it cannot assimilate organic matter as quickly as the X-type and X-type phagosomes, then the flying dragons and Corruptors, including the air guards with less flexible legs and feet, should be able to cause damage to it.
He has good ideas. But it's just an idea --- a stillborn idea, because the battlefield has undergone new changes.
The v-type phagosome maximizes resistance to energy attacks and acquires the ability to parasitize technological products, but on the other hand greatly weakens the ability to swallow organic matter. Such characteristics are suitable for dealing with energy weapons. Enough to support the Supreme Council to realize their ambitions, it does not mean that those clever councils willfully ignore such flaws.
The biological tissues in the large crater blasted out by the scout fighter's anti-matter missiles skyrocketed upwards, and dozens of black tentacles gathered into a cocoon-like structure.
After about 5 breaths, the huge mass of flesh at the base of the black cocoon radiated countless dark brown meridians, connecting with the biological tissue shells of other parts of the ship, and then spreading out a piece of fibrous tissue like a creep tumor.
The black cocoon blooms slowly. A dark red inner cocoon made of biofilm was exposed inside.
It beat a few times like a violently beating heart, and burst violently, splashing countless liquids. As a dark brown light flashed, an octopus-like thing appeared on the surface of the fibrous tissue radiated from the base of the black cocoon.
Glides along the texture of fibrous tissue at breakneck speed. The purple mucus sprayed by the devourer along the way was assimilated and absorbed by him, splitting into more small octopuses, and quickly advancing in all directions.
They are like countless dust-removing robots, sweeping away the purple substance spit out by the Devourer, but without harming the hybrid battleship at all. Except for the original weapons, sensors and other electronic facilities of the "Yama" that damaged the main structure, the damaged biological tissues on the surface quickly returned to normal.
Big and small "octopuses" gathered together after cleaning up the purple foreign matter on the hybrid battleship, tangled and compressed, and turned into a group of taupe lumps as hard as rocks embedded in thick fibrous tissue. Slowly enter the "hibernation" state, waiting for the hybrid battleship mother hive core to wake them up.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Fang's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. I didn't expect Bulwell Arnold to have such a unique skill. The deployment of phagosome polymers on hybrid battleships parasitized by V-type phagosomes is used to deal with some situations that hybrid battleships cannot handle.
At this time, he had already disembarked from the special operations transport ship and entered the cockpit of the "Seraphim".
Freya yelled "Tang Fang", and jumped from the seat into his arms like a cheerful bird, wrapping her hands around his neck, and clamping her legs around his waist. With her little head resting on her chest, she said aggrievedly, "You've been away for a long time. Leave Freya here alone..."
His bad mood became better, and he pinched her nose and shook it gently: "I see you're 'happy' playing."
have a good time?
She thought for a long time with her not very bright mind. Only then did I understand the meaning of that sentence.
She said innocently: "I want to complete the task as soon as possible, so that you can come back to accompany me sooner..."
He was very helpless, shook his head and said, "I really feel sad for those people."
"Why?" Freya looked up at him, remembering that Tang Yun loved to hold her face and call her "heart", so she said very seriously: "My dear, you have been away for so long, you really want to kill me!" gone."
Tang Fang petrified on the spot, completely freed from the silence and anxiety, looked at her face and said, "What did you say?"
"Sweetie?"
"Who is whose heart?"
Freya pointed to her heart and said with a happy face, "You are my heart."
It took a long time before he swallowed the saliva in his mouth and asked, "Who taught you?"
Without thinking about it, she casually said, "Tang Yun."
"This little girl." Tang Fang gritted his teeth.
At this moment, Emma interrupted the conversation between the two and reminded him to quickly enter the cockpit because of new changes in the hybrid battleship.
"I'll clean you up later."
She clapped her little hands and said happily: "Okay, okay, clean me up hard."
He almost tripped over the edge of the seat, quickly peeled Freya off his body, pinched her small neck and pressed it to the co-pilot, forced himself to take a few deep breaths, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and turned his attention back to the main battlefield .
Hybrid warships are undergoing a new round of changes, which can also be described as evolution.
As early as the beginning of the battle, the bow ghost of the "Yan Mo" was smashed by the anti-matter missile of the scout fighter and turned into a pile of steel wreckage.
Now, many black granulation sprouted from their gaps, and the small gaps became bigger and bigger. From a distance, it looked like a pair of claws were tearing the hull of the ship from the inside.
No sound could be heard in space, so Tang Fang made up a piercing metal cracking sound in his brain. Can't help frowning.
Some phoenix fighters and scout fighters turned to the bow area, firing beams of light beams and many antimatter missiles into the cracked inner space of the bow.
He didn't know what Bulwell was going to do, but from the changes in the bow of the ship, it could be seen that nothing good would happen.
The light from the missile explosion illuminates the inner space, and it can be seen that they are twisted together. Biological tissue that looks like a small intestine, and all the facilities that originally belonged to the "Yan Mo" are gone.
Just like previous attacks, this cannot cause damage to the hybrid battleship. Those small intestines look soft, but in fact, the explosion-proof and fire-proof capabilities are almost the same as the thick layer of fibrous tissue on the surface of the hybrid battleship. Most of the energy substances have been converted into nutrients. Substances promote body growth and functional evolution.
A hybrid battleship appears to be a battleship on the surface. In essence, it is closer to living matter. It can complete the hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary journey of ordinary life in a few minutes, and it is far more powerful than Zerg units.
Perhaps after Abathur was unlocked, Tang Fang could slightly bridge the gap with the Supreme Security Council in terms of genetic engineering.
The gap in the hybrid battleship's bow finally expanded to a width of nearly a hundred meters, the small intestine-like structure was slowly spit out from the body, and an invisible energy surge erupted from the ship's belly. Quickly advance to the bow of the ship.
Dozens of entangled intestinal tubes became transparent and spread out in an instant, and an ultra-high-voltage electromagnetic pulse wave spread from the bow of the ship to the surroundings like ripples.
More than 20 Protoss fighters were unable to evade, and were hit by the pulse. The coupling effect damaged the rectification device, the shield system went offline, and the performance of the whole machine was also affected. Being hit head-on by the ensuing spore sacs, he loses the ability to fight.
Those dancing "small intestines" changed from bright to dark, and returned to the tangled state just now. Wrap the ring capacitor array and slowly retract it inside.
The split bow was not stitched, and was still open to both sides, like a big mouth, laughing wildly.
As the main aviation/space fighters of the Protoss, the Phoenix Fighter and the Scout Fighter have deep attainments in the protection against cosmic rays and strong electromagnetic pulses. General stellar activity, such as sunspot outbursts, large flares, solar wind, etc. None of them can harm the powerful plasma shield system on their body surface.
Right now they are actually being used by the hybrid warship to use the "Yama" power system to connect the nuclear reactor and the zero element reactor. And the energy absorbed by the phagosome polymer is condensed into an ultra-high-voltage electromagnetic pulse wave and released, and the effect produced can actually destroy the plasma system. One can imagine how powerful it is.
This can't help but remind him of the "emp bomb" skill, and the "emp shock wave" of a generation of technology balls.
The "Yan Mo" absolutely does not have this ability, but after being parasitized by the v-shaped phagocytic body and becoming a hybrid warship, it has evolved such an ability, causing more than 20 Protoss fighters to lose their combat effectiveness.
The Phoenix Fighter, Scout Fighter, and Devourer have suffered successive setbacks. Even if units such as the Terran Viking Fighter, Wraith Fighter, and Raven are added, it is absolutely impossible to cause any real damage to it, and can only help it recharge.
Tang Fang withdrew the remaining units and flew the "Seraphim" to the area where the hybrid battleship was located.
Humans, insects, and gods have limited destructive power and cannot destroy mixed warships. They can only hope for the strongest warships in their hands.
Sure enough, it was an organization that shocked the entire Silenbeir region. The power of the hybrid battleship is far beyond that of the existing human warships.
He was suddenly curious about the origin of the mysterious organization that defeated the Supreme Security Council. They didn't even leave a picture. The official records of the Star Alliance are very brief, and they are called "Dragon Whisperers". Some scholars even speculate that they are Yip Xilong people, or other alien races, but there is not enough evidence to prove this.
If it is the Epsilon people, why have they been indifferent to human development for so many years? Those scientific and technological products derived from the Epsilon civilization have made human beings make rapid progress. It can be said that without them, there would be no history of human civilization in the universe. Without them... maybe humanity would still be stuck in the solar system.
As the guides of civilization, they can be said to be the closest friends of mankind in the universe, and there is no reason to avoid them.
Controversy came and went, and the viewpoint put forward by a scholar of the Silver Eagle Group was accepted by the world.
He believes that this "Dragon Whisperer" organization that successively defeated the Supreme Security Council and the Third Committee is most likely a human organization that has obtained the inheritance of the Epsilon civilization, and only then has it obtained a powerful strength that can rival the two evil forces, and finally eliminated A shocking catastrophe that may affect the entire Silenbeir region.
Because of their existence, the Supreme Council retreated into darkness. The Third Committee traveled deep space and dared not lightly violate the borders of various countries for more than ten years.
Tang Fang was very troubled. Why did he have to meet an opponent of Bulwell's level when the powerful combat units of the interstellar system had not been unlocked. If Abathur is unlocked, as a Zerg Genetic Engineer. It is bound to be able to give extremely valuable suggestions. If the void glow ship, or aircraft carrier, or storm battleship is unlocked, their weapons are enough to break through the thick layer of fiber tissue on the hybrid battleship's surface, not to mention the mothership's "black hole" skill. Even a Terran battlecruiser must be able to damage a hybrid battleship, making it less arrogant.
The point is... none of these powerful units are unlocked!
But let him temporarily avoid the edge of the hybrid battleship. He was unwilling to choose to retreat. Bulwell is one of the nine core members of the Supreme Security Council. He must have a lot of scientific research data related to phagosomes in his hands, which is the key to treating Zhou Ai.
Therefore, he cannot escape. Even if you bite the bullet, you must kill the hybrid battleship.
On the way of the "Seraphim" to the front line, the "Morning Star" sent a contact request, and Aros asked him if he had a good way to deal with the hybrid warship.
He shook his head and said, "No"
He really didn't... Even the Phoenix fighters and scout fighters were unable to tear open the hull of the hybrid battleship, and the Devourer was restrained by the super-phagosome polymer. Now we can only hope that the weapon system of the "Seraphim" will work.
The veteran was not surprised, and told him in a very weird tone: "The shooter died under the gun."
Such words make people feel at a loss, and there is a strong taste of pretense.
Tang Fang pondered for a moment. Want to understand the source of that weird accent --- nostalgia!
As for what the phrase "the gunman died under the gun" refers to, it has gradually become clear.
"You...are related to them?" He asked tentatively.
There was a ripple deep in Aros' eyes, very faint. You have to concentrate to see clearly.
Tang Fang's observation ability has always been good. He saw the ripple and tasted some emotions.
Although there is nostalgia, it is mostly resentment...it is resentment, not hatred.
"Be careful, they are not easy to mess with. If I guessed correctly, it should be the best of the V-shaped phagosomes."
Tang Fang cursed angrily: "You old guy. Since you know so much, why didn't you say it before?"
"Because that's not really going to help you," Aros said.
"Then why are you telling me this now?"
"The only hybrid battleship that was killed by the Silver Eagle Group that was parasitized by the V-shaped phagocytic body died in this way."
"It turns out that you are not a member of the Supreme Security Council." After he finished speaking, he added two words at the end --- "ever".
Aros directly cut off the communication connection. Tang Fang couldn't help stretching out his middle finger.
Freya next to her felt that this action was so handsome, so she also raised her middle finger.
"No, no, no...Freya, you can't do this, it's very rude."
"Then why are you doing this to Aros?"
Tang Fang thought for a while and said, "Because I know him very well, he will definitely not mind."
Then Freya turned her middle finger in front of him, and said with a smile: "Freya is also very familiar with Tang Fang, and Tang Fang will definitely not mind."
"I..." Captain Tang wished he could slap himself twice.
At this moment, the "Seraphim" combat assistant sent a prompt message, the battleship entered the combat radius, the graviton radar has locked the hybrid battleship, please confirm the attack command.
Tang Fang turned his attention to the battlefield, looked at the black monster in the distance, and gave the order to activate the bow neutron cannon.
"The gunman died under the gun."
Just as Aros said, the most powerful weapon for a shooter is the gun. The power of the phagosome polymer comes from its swallowing ability, and the V-type phagosome polymer is especially good at dealing with energy-based attacks.
It can absorb the energy generated during the attack of the Phoenix fighter and scout fighter, and naturally it can also absorb the high-energy neutron beam fired by the bow neutron cannon of the "Seraphim".
Just like a hungry person, he can eat a lot of food, but when he eats too much, he will be in danger of bursting his belly.
The same is true for the hybrid battleship. It can digest the attacks of the Phoenix fighter and the scout fighter, but it does not mean that it can absorb the bow neutron cannon of the "Seraphim" safely. According to Emma's calculations, the neutron cannon of the "Seraphim" is powerful enough to compare to the Void Glory Ship with 2 stages of charging.
Since it cannot be eliminated by conventional means, then let it be strangled.
On the bridge of the hybrid warship, Bulwell Arnold, who was in the biological cabin, did not know that an invisible warship was quietly arriving on the battlefield outside.
He was still proud and proud of that blow just now.
The i-type phagosomal polymer is unable to stimulate this form of attack, and the iv-type phagosomal polymer can freely convert biological energy and electrical energy, but it cannot achieve such a range and such a powerful destructive force.
Only the V-type phagosome has such a powerful ability. By combining the transformation of the internal mechanism and the battleship system, a diversified combat system can be formed, which can be used in various combat environments.
As the strongest strain of the v-type phagosome family------v-00-type phagosome, it abandons the ability to quickly swallow organic matter and maximizes the absorption of energy attacks, which endows it with strong defense and at the same time , also fixes the Achilles heel of type i-iv phagosomes.
In Bulwell's eyes, the v-00 phagosome was perfect.
Even the "Dragon Whisperers" can destroy the hybrid warships only when they have a superior number. (to be continued)
