Chapter 764 Mothership Core

This may be related to the physique of the Epsilon. The dark matter that makes up the Epsilon runes cannot be quantized, which seriously restricts the development of Epsilon's space-time technology.

However, from the "Ashtolando" system to the current teleportation beacon, it can be seen that the Ipsi dragon rune has not become an insurmountable moat for the Ipsi dragon people, but it has slowed down their pace. .

From a purely functional point of view, the "Ashtolando" system is similar to the Protoss' "Transportation Gate" mechanism. If the teleportation beacon and its related equipment are integrated into the entire transportation system, wouldn't it be the same as the Protoss' "Transportation Gate" + The combination of "Crystal Tower" leads to the same goal by different routes?

Of course, at this point, the Ipsi Dragons have not yet reached the level of technology that the protoss can cross freely, because in order for the "Ashtolando" system to operate, it must be supported by the dimensional tunnel built by the dimensional lock.

At the same time, when the teleportation beacon is activated, a special space energy is required to stabilize the wormhole structure and build a special gravitational field that carries the Epsilon rune. If he guessed correctly, it should be an isotope crystal from zero element.

Zero isotope energy is a relatively tight resource even in the Ypsi dragon society, and it will only be used in certain special fields, such as the main gun of the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress "Apocalypse" .

The information above was all thought of when the magic sword shattered, and when he saw those little bits of energy crystallization.

He doesn't know how long the real world has passed, anyway, it's just a blink of an eye in his mind. When his consciousness returned and his body could move freely, he found that he had left the Bavaria space station and appeared in a strange place.

There is still a soft touch under the feet, which comes from the green meadow, but under the finely divided soil. It is a crystal platform exuding silver-white light.

At the same time, jumping arcs of light caught his attention.

They come from above the crystal platform, lingering around a huge facility like a water polo. The diffused light casts sparkling light on the water surface, which at first glance looks like countless silver carp.

In fact, the most eye-catching thing is a psychic flame floating above the opposite console.

no doubt. This is a large Ypsilon ruins, and it is also the reason why he deliberately let Reeves succeed.

The new Epsilon ruins heralded new protoss technology, but if he wanted to touch the psychic flames in the past, he had to defeat Ansaldo first and step over his corpse.

The magic sword has been broken, and some fragments are falling on the meadow, washed by the silver streamer.

It looks a bit dazzling.

Tang Fang raised his head and looked at his face with calm eyes.

Ansar was very puzzled. If the two sides switched their identities, he would definitely be surprised and even feel fearful. However, Tang Fang's expression was very calm, as if he knew such a scene would happen.

"I can make you a fool."

The meaning of this sentence is very simple. Before dying, Tang Fang can express the doubts in his heart, and he will answer truthfully.

It's a pity that Tang Fang didn't want to ask anything. The only thought in his mind was to finish Ansaldo as quickly as possible and get the contents of the psychic flame.

Without warning, Ansaldo's chest was pierced by a blue light blade.

Whether it is a strong body. It was still an extraordinary skill, and it didn't play any role in front of that blue light blade.

It came without a sound, and he died without a sound.

The only sound was the muffled gurgle of blood rushing up from his throat, and the only emotion was the horror in his eyes.

"I know what you want to say."

When Tang Fang passed by him, he said in a very calm tone: "It's 'see you in hell', right?"

Shoulder to shoulder passed, neither of them could see the other's expression.

"Unfortunately, I can't make the appointment."

The moment Ansaldo collapsed on the platform, lights and shadows flickered from left to right. 4 vetoers show up.

4 Kaydarin crystals light up brightly, and the "power of the veto" is activated. A quantum vacuum is created in the outer area of ​​the crystal platform, and active energy surges are suppressed to a minimum. Those bombs lying in ambush around the platform, enough to blast the entire space station into slag, are like flames without oxygen support, unable to complete their inherent mission, and become duds one after another.

The "Power of Veto" operates by overloading the Cadarine crystal, which puts a heavy load on the system and cannot last long, but it is enough for Tang Fang to obtain information from the psychic flame.

When those light threads were affected by the Ipsilon rune and landed on Tang Fang's wrist, his consciousness was forcibly pulled into the system space.

The interface of the four clans disappeared, and Sister Logic's voice rang in my ears.

"Psionic energy fluctuations detected, diagnostic program started..."

"The diagnosis is complete, confirm the suitability of the protoss."

"Activate the protoss base."

"Frequency Analysis..."

"The wave level is b+, the jump tree is unlocked, the technology level is 2, and the unit 'mothership core' is unlocked."

When the sound fades away, the base selection interface returns.

Tang Fang tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. Instead of searching for the newly unlocked "mothership core" immediately, he put on the harsh environment protective suit as quickly as possible, activated the stealth function, and then released the immortal to the weakest part of the space station. The place exploded into flames.

The explosion can be transmitted through the bulkhead, the high temperature melts the metal substance, the shock wave shatters the bulkhead, and the difference in internal and external air pressure creates a strong suction, pulling him into space.

In the next second, the mass-energy conversion of the bomb placed in the space station occurred, and the surging flame lit up the void, and countless metal fragments sprayed outward, tearing the entire bulkhead apart.

The fireballs formed by the explosions of the bombs spread in a straight line, and within a few breaths, the entire space station was engulfed, turning into a piece of burning wreckage.

While waiting for the special operation transport ship to be accommodated, Tang Fang put his consciousness into the system space, selected the Protoss base, clicked on the protoss hub, and found that the core of the mothership, which was originally locked in gray, had been unlocked.

To put it bluntly, this is his first protoss warship, and it is also a combat unit that he has coveted for a long time.

Although it is only the core of the mothership, not the main body of the mothership, it is not considered an epic unit, but in any case, its combat power should be stronger than that of the Phoenix fighter and scout fighter.

One thing, he is very clear. The mothership core is a strategic unit, not a tactical unit.

Since their return from the depths of space, these ancient motherships have become an integral part of every Protoss fleet. However, it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task to build these powerful command ships. Especially in times of continuous warfare. To solve this conundrum, a group of brave Protoss began experimenting with using the Mothership Core -- a large, supercharged anima crystal -- as a defensive weapon during the construction of the Mothership's hull. This very successful tactic quickly spread throughout the Protoss army. now. Many Protoss commanders use Cores to defend their bases, power up troops and buildings, and teleport troops across the battlefield.

There are 4 major components in the mothership core.

1. Repulsion Cannon: After extracting energy from the Anima Crystal, the Repulsion Cannon will emit semi-solid psionic energy and produce a strong detonation, so strong that it is not suitable for air combat. The detonation generates massive amounts of kinetic and thermal energy and damage, allowing each shot to slam through objects and leave a trail of psionic fire clouds behind. Second, photon charging: After guiding a large amount of raw psionic energy to the anima crystal of the star core, the mothership core can convert it into a deadly weapon. in this state. The overloaded matrix fires psionic light bullets, which can easily destroy enemy scouts and small combat teams; or it can be used to withstand the attack of large attack groups, enough to sustain until reinforcements leap to join the battle line.

3. Time and space crossing: the core of the mothership can distort time and space, creating an infinitely expanding force field on the spot. The field is flooded with unpredictable energy flows that suppress everything that passes through the field. Enemy units trapped in the space-time distortion field move very slowly, allowing the Protoss to take them down with ease.

4. Group recall: There is a strong psychic combo between the core of the mothership and the crystal of the star core, so the location of the crystal can be used as a beacon for jumping. After releasing a large amount of energy, the core of the mothership can transcend the limitations of time and space. Teleports an entire group of warriors near any Protoss Nexus.

In the battle mode, the core of the mothership is a very special unit, which is generally used for initial defense and offense. It's not like normal protoss units. It has the combat power bonus given by the three passive research and development skills of basic attack, defense and shield.

It only has 4 active skills, "group recall", "time travel", "upgrade to mothership", "photon overload".

The two skills "Group Recall" and "Photon Overload" must be applied to the Protoss Hub. Under the premise that the system building cannot be visualized, they are weak skills and are extremely useless.

"Upgrade to Mothership", as the name suggests. It is allowed to spend a certain amount of resources to upgrade the Mothership Core to the Mothership, the ultimate Protoss combat unit. However, whether it is in the campaign mode or the battle mode. Few would choose to summon a Mothership. Since skills such as "Time Bomb", "Starburst Beam", "Galaxy Vortex", and "Wormhole Teleportation" were successively removed, the Mothership has completely become the second mascot of the Protoss.

If according to what Emma said. The system positions the mothership as an epic unit like Leviathan and Behemoth. Does it indicate that those heaven-defying skills will return to it?

The answer seems to be yes, because epic units are expensive to build, and if the consumption of tens of millions of gas is only exchanged for the increase in the population of the protoss and the ability to hide the group, this is not in line with the style of the logic sister. After all, the arbitrator can also provide collective invisibility, wormhole teleportation, and the ability to travel through time and space.

Of course, no matter how strong the mothership is, the premise must be to unlock the relevant technology tree. According to the style of Miss Logic, he will definitely not let him get the mothership.

Therefore, of the 4 core active skills of the mothership, 3 of them are useless, but even if only one of "Time and Space" is available, it is enough.

In the battle mode, due to the need to take into account the gameplay, "time and space crossing" is manifested as creating a different space, reducing the movement and attack speed of enemy units within the range by 50%.

But in the real world, how powerful would something that surpasses the space-time technology of the Ipsi dragons be? Just thinking about it is scary, not to mention that there is a repulsive cannon at the core of the mothership.

Although it is a blast attack, it is more suitable for ground battles than space naval battles, but it does not mean that it cannot hit air targets.

In the historical background of the StarCraft world, facing the overwhelming flying units of Zerg, the firepower of the core of the mothership is naturally stretched, but if it is used to deal with the warships of sovereign countries, it will definitely have a good effect.

Unfortunately, only one mothership core can be produced.

When Tang Fang was about to press the production button, he suddenly discovered a problem --- the cost of the core of the mothership was a bit wrong.

According to the data in the game, it costs 100 crystals and 100 gas to summon the mothership core. Occupies population 2.

Considering the size of the core of the mothership, it may be several times the cost of the game.

Indeed, the cost marked by Sister Logic is indeed a multiple of 100... 20,000 times of 100.

Yes. Notes show that the cost of building a mothership core is 2 million crystals and 2 million gas. Only the occupied population has not changed, which is still 2.

According to the cost equation of ordinary units, wouldn't it mean that the core of the mothership is as long as 20km, which is almost comparable to 2 Behemoths.

is it possible? Epic units like Motherships are not as huge as Behemoth and Leviathan.

Is that because this weapon is too heaven-defying? The reason why time and space is too powerful? There seems to be only one explanation.

Fortunately, I have plenty of money now, and the total system resources have reached 17355925, 7464905, which is enough to build this kind of prodigal strategic unit.

He gritted his teeth and pressed the production hotkey.

The total number of resources dropped by 2 million. becomes 15355925, 5464905.

The crystal on the top of the Protoss Nexus flickered a few times quickly, the flowing light spread, and the core of the mothership appeared above the base.

He selected the target, checked the menu bar on the right, and found that the option "upgrade to mothership" was grayed out and locked.

He shook his head helplessly: "I knew it would not be that easy."

At this moment, a loud human voice came from the pinna, and the body also felt the suction force from the ground, knowing that it had safely entered the containment compartment of the special operations transport ship and was about to evacuate the system space. Suddenly found an anomaly.

He calmed down, scanned the upper right corner of the interface again, and found that it wasn't his dizziness. The population limit of Protoss has been increased from 1000 to 1100, which is 100 higher.

Don't look at just adding 100 units, that means 50 Phoenix fighters. Fifty Phoenix fighters are enough to match a fleet of 200 improved frigate-class warships.

No wonder the cost of the core of the mothership is as high as 2 million crystals and 2 million gas. It turns out that there are such benefits.

The phase turret matrix of the "Angel", the Bucephalus, the core of the mothership...

Could it be, is it really fate?

He turned his consciousness back to reality, and glanced at the gradually cooling wreckage of the space station beyond the porthole. Turn around and walk to the cockpit.

Jasper and Linova really paid a high price to kill him.

That small scientific research station less than a kilometer is worthless. Those nuclear bombs are not worth much, what is really valuable is the remains of Ipsilon, which can be used for wormhole transmission.

In fact, the Ypsilon ruins are standard military equipment. The function of wormhole transmission is not the only one. When he connected the psionic flame, he discovered that it has another function, which can create a kind of stability bubble, which can be used to strengthen the fragile space-time structure, not only to intercept the warp speed jump The aircraft can even burst the "subspace bubble" built by the evil spirit-class special service combat ship like the "Seraphim", making it lose its invisible effect.

Similarly, it can also break the collective stealth effect of motherships and arbitrators.

It is conceivable how precious this strategic-level Ypsilon ruins are.

It may also come from the anti-reformist forces led by Reeves. You must know that this is their last fight, and of course they will do whatever it takes, even if they lose an "artifact".

etc……

No, this strategic Ypsilon relic did not originate from Reeves, nor is it the property of Jasper and Linova... I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the Armed Forces of God.

First, the Ypsilon remains are complete.

Most of the Ypsilon ruins produced in the Tianchao star area are incomplete, and there are very few such good-looking and functional ones.

Second, this Ypsilon relic can function normally.

With the technological level of the current sovereign state, it is very difficult to completely control the Ypsilon facility, just like the flagship of the Silver Wheel, Lord Lancelot, Governor of Rector, the universal force field generator has been working in the In plasma mode, if upgraded to universal mode, the shield will not be broken by Rector's heavy particle cannon.

The teleportation device in front of me is different. Not only can it cooperate with the teleportation beacon for short-range transitions, but the stable bubble is always activated, and the utilization efficiency is very high.

As far as he knows, I am afraid that only God's Armed Forces has such an ability.

On the other hand, he sorted out more details.

When attacking the God Armed Forces branch before, due to the emergency, he directly summoned Egger Stetman to his side with the power of the system. I am afraid that Mr. J has already known about this matter.

Combined with the fact that I have a large number of Ipsilon relics in my hands, the most reasonable explanation is that Egg Stetman has something similar to a teleportation beacon, which can be directly teleported to the "Angel".

This can also explain why I know that the Armed Forces of God branch is located in the Kandonia Trench. Alice, Athena, His Majesty the King has been tricked.

In this conspiracy led by Jasper and Linova, Mr. J made a more careful arrangement, or in other words, used his own way to deal with his own body, and also used God to arm all the Ypsilon transmission equipment , to teleport him to an unfamiliar area, which will surely catch him off guard and destroy his arrangements for the anniversary celebration of the Stone of Horus.

At the same time, the stability bubble will confine the airspace where the scientific research station is located, making it impossible for him to get out like Egg Stetman, and then detonate the bomb cleanly, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles.

As for Ansaldo, it was just a cheap victim. (To be continued.)

ps: Having said so much, do you dare to come to the starting point to watch the genuine version.
