Chapter 420 The Abyss Beckons
In less than 5 minutes, hundreds of protoss died, more than one-third of the total number of the exploration team.
Even those who are alive feel extremely tired, as if they have not slept for a week, and walking is like stepping on cotton.
Suffering such an accident and heavy blow, Tassada was a little flustered, pretended to be calm, quickly organized people to count the members, cleaned up briefly, and returned to the camp.
Since the artifact fragments had been in a state of releasing energy, Tassadar and his party did not encounter any accidents on their way home.
The protoss also don't know whether there are ghosts who have moths to the flame and are swallowed.
Since the artifact fragments constructed the light and shadow of the other three fragments and formed a complete outline of one real and three virtual, there has been no further change.
When they returned to the camp, it was still a mess on the camp side. When the virtual ghosts sneaked in, they didn't know the situation inside. After sneaking in and being sprayed by the electromagnetic jet, they forgot to sneak out, but ran around, and the shadows could only chase after them.
What's more interesting is that after weakening to a certain extent, the structural stability of the ghost will change, and energy collapse will occur, just like fusion condensing heavy elements, condensing pearl-sized crystals.
After many tests, it was found that this crystal has extremely high sensitivity to psionic energy, can amplify the power of psionic energy, and is a very good psionic amplifier.
"As early as the early days of civilization, human beings had the lamentation of cannibalism, not just direct cannibalism, but lamentation of exploitation in different directions, including turning people into organic fertilizer. This little thing in front of me reminds me of that kind of situation .I don’t know if your protoss will exploit it as a resource after you know its value. Or take it one step further, obtain the relevant generation technology, artificially create this kind of virtual crystal, and then use 'he is the active Voluntary' is an excuse to bypass moral barriers. Anyway, we humans must do this, being represented, being sacrificed, many, I guess the Tadarin clan did not have any psychological troubles when they did this kind of thing."
Hearing what Kane said, Tassada once again deeply felt Kane's psychological darkness, but he couldn't refute it. Because someone in his team has already proposed that following Graybeard's approach to obtain this kind of virtual crystal is precisely for the protoss and other high-level reasons.
Tassada, who was kidnapped by this kind of playfulism, has met more than once or twice. The gang of protoss who obeyed the Supreme Council's words would often use it as an excuse to do some extreme things.
Our clan, our home planet, and our race, if you dare to refute, you will be labeled. If you don’t refute, you will feel that this is inappropriate. It can be said that it has long been a problem that has entangled Tassada.
But right now, he is really not interested in discussing these.
For the protoss, mental trauma is far more serious than physical trauma. Tasada told Kane that his people might have to rest for a while to avoid hidden dangers.
As for the victims, Tassada made no mention. What he participated in was a very risky operation, and the casualties were expected. Tassada was not pretentious, nor did he feel unbalanced because the protoss died more and the humans died less, and he felt that Kane was fooling the stars. Ling, let them be cannon fodder. This person's morality is really good, and he can compete with the American team portrayed by Marvel.
Greybeard medics also had 14 fatalities.
At that time, a group of ghosts rushed forward, the high-ranking templar who had been taken away was the first and more representative, almost following him, many protoss and humans were ambushed.
There were few human casualties because the total number of people was small, and most of them were suspended in the sky by rib eagles. Only the part that accompanied the search team ran around on the ground. Although the ghosts can levitate and fly, they seem to be affected by Influenced by instinct, preferring to move on the ground.
Those who are eroded by ghosts are basically one-hit kills.
They are all old ghosts of millions of years. They fight their wills and the total amount of information. Neither humans nor protoss are opponents. Once they are corroded, their consciousness will disappear in minutes.
This is why Kane? Zhao was on guard in advance, and even he could threaten him. If his body was spotted, Xu Gui rushed in one after another to besiege him, even if his soul possessed divinity, it might not be able to stand up to the joint battle, most likely he could only use extraordinary techniques to defeat the enemy. Naturally, there are successes and failures.
Kane felt that this was a good opportunity to increase understanding, or let the protoss get to know him better.
So in front of Tassadar, he used the spirit summoning technique on a group of dead people who appeared to be unharmed and whose 'CPU' was severely burned.
This extraordinary spell is different from the activation spell made by golems. It is a kind of necromancer magic, a dark resurrection spell, and the less effective one.
Tasada observed Kane's miraculous method, and watched the female figure who had been confirmed dead before sitting up again and uttering words.
Destroy the three views, and make him feel horrified.
"This is..." If it wasn't for his paralyzed face, the expression on Tassada's face must be wonderful.
This is already the seventeenth hour of coming to Hill Star, the second day here.
Due to the advanced technology, the calculation of natural phenomena such as hurricanes has been accurate to the minute. So without any suspense, the hurricane came, and the entire area was raging with sandstorms, darker than darkness.
At least there are stars at night, but now, I can't see my fingers.
Interestingly, there is also a kind of finely divided stone chips in the hurricane, which is harder than diamond, which constitutes a natural fine sandpaper, and it is also accompanied by a very strong electrical discharge phenomenon.
Thunderstorm + sandstorm, EMP attack + abrasive attack, nature's attack methods are also very sharp, the key is that it is big enough to always make the human body feel its own insignificance.
Due to the harsher weather than Kane expected, the expedition team didn't go out today, but drank some wine in the camp and did some research.
So Kane performed a thriller chapter for Tassadar.
He himself pretended to be very calm: "This is actually nothing. The genetic complexity of human beings is still far behind that of protoss. Therefore, it is easier for us to completely analyze and deconstruct ourselves from a physiological perspective. Under such a background, Biochemical technology that is more advanced than cloning also has the basis for its birth."
"Of course, I belong to energy science, and I am rewarded from God. If I have to explain it scientifically, it can be said that it is based on the existing physiological deconstruction to re-condense the thinking core of the energy state. Just like the computer you have seen CPU, so it's not a resurrection, it's a kind of mechanical puppet."
Kane did not distance himself from the Purifier, mainly because the Purifier is a typical "Skynet", and they all have self-awareness on the basis of artificial intelligence personality, so they are not puppets.
In addition, his visit to the Cebulos Fortress has already started, and it is really self-defeating to mention this at this time.
Tassada is very smart, and his association ability is not bad, so he asked, "Is this technology given by God?"
"Probably." Kane smiled and said, "Thinking that someone like me who was instructed by God unknowingly can only live in isolation and stay away from human society. This is also in the Koprulu star area. If it is on the parent star, it is estimated that There will be no authorization."
"For me, the future of the race, the advancement of civilization, etc., are too far away. It's not even important to leave a name behind and be honored by future generations. The key is to live comfortably while alive, which is better than anything else."
"Realism." Tassa is also a human being, so he knows this concept.
"That's right."
The two chatted about ghosts and artifact fragments again, but the key was that Tassada was worried about it.
Kane said in his heart: "You are content, the fragments of the artifact did not take away all the psionic energy and souls of the protoss at the scene, probably because the power of the fragments is still relatively limited, and the energy base I designed has a certain amount of energy. Controlled, did not dare to fully fire."
There is a basis for him to slander so much.
In the original history line, the Wings of Liberty chapter, that is, in 2504, in order to rescue Kerrigan, Jim Raynor collected all the fragments of the artifact, and then killed the Zerg's lair, Char.
There, the artifact was fully functional, draining Kerrigan's psychic energy and disabling most of the Zerg's genetic influence.
But because human beings are a third party, not the creations of Xel'Naga, Kerrigan's basic physiological structure is fairly stable, successful and self-consistent, and it didn't take long for it to recover.
What about the zerg affected by the artifact energy? Naturally, there is no dead scum left.
Will Protoss be different than Zerg in this regard? Kane didn't think so.
This thing is properly the nemesis of Sarnaga's series of technological creations. This is the countermeasure buried by the Creator at the beginning of designing life, so it can be understood.
So last night the artifact fragments devoured the Void Ghost and let the Protoss go. It was entirely because of its incompleteness and insufficient power. It only absorbed the Void Ghost with a higher degree of compatibility with the power of the void. , failed to twitch, but those who were seized by the ghosts were wiped out by the way.
So Tassada was talking to him about the fragments of the artifact, but he felt that Tassada and the others were dancing on the edge of a cliff and came back after taking their lives without knowing it.
However, Tasada's nagging also triggered some inspiration.
He thought of the Nerazim clan, the Dark Templar.
The type of psychic energy used by these yin beeps who would shout 'I will return to the void' when they are dying seems to be closer to the power of the void? Or is it a variant of psionic energy combined with dark energy in the universe?
If it's the former, then it's interesting, Artifact Shards are more destructive to them.
But Kane thinks the latter is more likely. Because the psionic energy of the Kalai clan is too positive, and Nerazin seems to echo it from a distance. The combination of the two has a characteristic of light and shadow mixing.
This kind of characteristic is closer to the essence of the power of the void, and it has great power, which can kill even the master.
If this logic is followed, what about Tal'darin's blood shards? Which is more suitable for the power of the void? Still just the filthy side, like the dark filthy side - filth.
If he could really be compared to the filthy side of the power of darkness, then it wouldn't be difficult for him to impersonate.
When it comes to playing 'dirty', he is used to hiding dirt because of being a dark force contractor, and he refuses to accept anyone.
Time soon came to the fourth day.
The hurricane is still there, and it is estimated that it will not stop in another ten days.
Both Kane and Tassada felt that there was no need to delay the exploration because of this.
Although bad weather will bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble, but that's all. With high-end technology, those things in the atmosphere, there are few things that can really stump them, it's nothing more than the price.
So exploration began again.
During the idle two days, both sides also made some preparations. For example, Kane used the virtual crystal to create a special artifact energy battery, and used it to support the energy supply of the external energy force field.
Tests have shown that when the energy of the artifact falls below a certain limit, it changes from absorption to protection. To the virtual ghost, it is just like the scorching sun to ordinary ghosts.
The idea of this invention is naturally derived from the reverse reasoning of "no matter how high the power is, the protoss can also be absorbed". If it is strong, it can disintegrate the deconstruction of high-level psionic units, so what if it is weak? So there is a force field protection that specifically restrains ghosts.
As a result, the Protoss who belonged to the Supreme Council line around Tassada began to jump up and down again. There was no Aldaris, but there were also Aldagos and Aldanas. Anyway, there was no shortage of such people around Tassada.
What they mean is that we are equipped with a special force field generator, using electromagnetic beams to capture virtual ghosts and obtain virtual crystals.
The honest Tassadar told Kane about it, and marveled at it.
Kane smiled instead: "If you don't work, you won't die. These guys are greedy for profit, completely ignoring the background conditions of the camp to hunt ghosts. In this kind of weather, hunting in such an open and easy-to-lose environment is definitely suspected of killing. They will go up, but you can't take the blame for this, communicate with the Supreme Council, and explain the ins and outs clearly, and when they pay the tuition with their lives, they can learn to behave better, and you, the commander, will not be so bothered."
If Tassadar was as insidious as Kane said, he wouldn't be Tassada. After all, he still chose to find a way to tell his compatriots who wanted to die not to die, but those protoss failed to make it. A little bit of resentment.
Kane said in his heart: "Tassada, Tassada, why did you get worse and worse in the original historical line, and everyone betrayed their relatives. It's hard to be a good person!"
In fact, he sighed with emotion, and the subtext was: You see, the protoss really thought to me that they were not much nobler than humans, and the fact that people like Tassada couldn't get along was the best explanation. This can't help but remind me of those shared bicycles that were erected into hills, thrown into rivers and ditches, and even hung on trees. What a quality!
