A Will Eternal Chapter 440
The search for xel'naga artifact fragments never stops.
But as Kane guessed, the artifact fragments on Titanium Wind could not be found.
Of course, with the deepening of exploration, many interesting situations were discovered.
According to the analysis of information obtained from the comprehensive exploration project led by Artanis, early intelligent creatures similar to the level of ancient apes appeared on this planet, and they were also primates, but they were not apes, but more like armadillos.
But the species became extinct.
The cause of extinction was the invasion of foreign civilizations.
All kinds of traces show that foreign civilizations have occupied and achieved comprehensive domination, from land to sea, the degree of control was once very high.
Kane defined it as the guardian of artifact fragments, because most of the creations of this civilization also embody the technology of the Xel'Naga system.
Obviously, this is also influenced by Xel'Naga, and there is no future Guardian civilization to speak of.
Later, this civilization was also destroyed, which was at least 1.5 million years ago.
Kane believes that the destruction of this civilization is mainly due to the blow of extraordinary power.
In other words, after the arrival of the gods from another world, they used their divine power to destroy this civilization.
According to supercomputer deduction, this kind of destruction is similar to the obliteration method of genetic weapons. It takes individuals as the entry point, links each individual with unreasonable divine power, and kills all members of the race in a short period of time.
Kane couldn't judge whether the god had deeply absorbed the information wealth of this civilization, but what was certain was that people from the new world had come to Tiefeng to explore, and once established a country with a total population of about 300,000.
From the ruins left by this country, the exploration team discovered many elements that are highly similar to the ruins of the abandoned city in the New World.
This element mainly refers to the cultural part, such as the understanding and elaboration of beauty, the embodiment of living customs, and then the embodiment of technology.
How the country is going to perish is still unclear, but the information left behind by this cross-border behavior is still of great reference value.
So Titanium Wind's search for artifact fragments eventually turned into a super-large-scale archaeology.
To Kane, it feels like archaeological remains of the Inca civilization in the tropical rainforest of South America,
And it's the {Raiders of the Lost Ark} version, the end of which is the unbelievable and unscientific way of pushing the cause to aliens.
In a blink of an eye, several days have passed in June of 2500. Kane told Tasada that the archeology of Tauwind seems to operate in units of years. He takes this project seriously, but he won't just waste it here.
"I want to get another piece of the artifact first. I'm afraid I'm going to go to the new world to get this piece of Titanium Wind. Whether I can get it successfully is still unknown. If you want to stay here, you should continue to act with me."
Tassada said without hesitation: "Of course I'm following you."
Since going to the New World, Tassada has obviously respected Kane a lot and is also a lot more polite. There is no more peer-to-peer attitude.
Kane didn't care about that. Invisible class divisions exist forever, and the oldest and most commonly used is the division of power.
Only when the strength is similar can they compete on an equal footing. If the difference is too large, even if the higher one is willing to surrender, the lower one will feel very uncomfortable.
No matter how simple and honest Tassada was, he still figured out some things by now.
For example, the Graybeard organization.
From the current point of view, it is obviously a tool team created by Kane. It may be an exaggeration to describe it as casually built, but it is definitely not an all-out effort.
But such a tool possesses many technologies and features that the entire Protoss race needs to look up to.
Differences in strength lead to differences in ultimate goals. For the protoss, war is life and death, but for Kane, war is victory and defeat. This is much larger than the difference between living expenses of 1,000 yuan and pocket money of 1,000 yuan. Even Tassadar, who is not lacking in self-confidence, will inevitably feel awkward.
At one point, Tassadar even thought about substituting someone to take over the job he was in charge of. He felt that if he went on like this, he would probably be reduced to a flattering role a little bit.
The embarrassment is secondary, the key is to delay things. He feels that his mentality has not been adjusted well, and he is not very suitable for this kind of work that focuses on diplomacy and is on the weak side.
To put it bluntly, he is a stubborn person who can go his own way without even rejecting the Supreme Council, but at the same time he understands that it is not appropriate to play his tricks in front of a character like Kane. Therefore, he felt that a change would be reasonable.
But in the end, the sense of mission to fight for the future of the species prompted him to stay.
After analysis, he thinks that a simple friendship will not have any good results. The ability to do things, as well as the understanding of human civilization, and the understanding of Kane's mind are all very important points.
On the whole, he, the commander who has been advocating a good relationship with humans from the beginning and has been interacting with Kane on behalf of the Protoss, is more suitable to continue to cooperate with Kane on behalf of the Protoss.
Naturally, the thighs should be hugged tightly.
It doesn't matter if you leave Titanium Wind temporarily, as long as you keep close to Kane, you will come back sooner or later.
Kane's guidance from time to time can benefit the Protoss a lot, and it is much more efficient than exploring and researching by himself.
In this way, the expedition set sail again.
Hundreds of thousands of AI troops, but they all stayed in Titanium Wind.
The size of Titanium Wind is similar to that of Mars, and the proportion of the ocean area is about one-third. Tens of thousands of AI troops are scattered in hundreds of strongholds, which is not obvious.
Kane returned from the New World and the T850 was discontinued in favor of making more MCV Commands.
Although MCV is also capable of replicating itself, its inefficiency is on the one hand, and resources are not available on the other hand.
This planet is rich in state hydrogen resources, but silicon crystals and ordinary high-energy gas are relatively scarce.
In fact, outside the Milky Way, the so-called abundance of high-energy gas is basically untenable. On the contrary, gaseous planets can always be seen, and hydrogen, methane and the like are relatively easy to obtain.
Taking advantage of the presence of the expeditionary fleet, a large amount of energy was collected by the resource ship and transported to Titanium Wind, and then MCV subordinates produced fully automatic SCVs one by one.
It has to be said that the dispatched human needs can save a lot of equipment space. The structure of SCV can be better.
The feature of the Graybeard system is that it is fully armed. Landing ships, transport ships, and work ships are all armed to a certain extent, and SCVs also have them. Vector control technology makes SCVs a good platform, which can carry various tools or weapons, and can even be used as an autonomous vehicle. Use it.
A large number of SCVs rely on the headquarters to improve their strongholds and develop them into fortresses.
According to Kane's request, most of the facilities in these fortresses can be moved. In the future, when the tasks here are completed, they will collectively move to the new world.
With such a good world gate available, Kane is naturally unwilling to go to the new world and start farming from scratch.
He would rather choose to hoard resources now, and then transport them day and night from the relatively narrow boundary gate passages, so as to accumulate logistics resources that can be deployed explosively in the new world.
It is precisely for this purpose that the resource ship, equipment ship, and landing ship did not leave with the expedition team in the end. The resource ship can become an operation ship when it turns around, and the landing ship can be used as a transport ship passing through the atmosphere. The equipment ship can unload the equipment and load the cargo unit, and then it can become a large transport ship to and from the solar system.
About a third of the Protoss expeditionary fleet remained. In addition to the need to participate in comprehensive archaeology, they also need to build a super-large warp stargate in the titanium wind solar system to facilitate more protoss creations from Al's side to warp here.
The third stop of the Artifact Fragments, Monlis Star.
The solar system is in the Milky Way, and the Orion cantilever is not too far from the earth. But humans on Earth have not yet colonized that star area.
Kane's original plan was a horseshoe-shaped route, starting from the Koprulu star area, ending at Monlis star, making a U-shaped circle, and finally going to Earth to see if he had enough time.
Then it is to meet with the wandering production fleet and start to push troops horizontally.
The idea was good, but the reality was not smooth. The important part, Titanium Wind, not only delayed the rhythm, but also failed to get the artifact fragments in time.
That has to be returned, the wandering fleet is about to explode, and he needs to preside over it, and the Sigma werewolves have to be sent back.
The base ship with a total length of 7,200 meters is very easy to carry 30,000 werewolves, but in fact only 22,000 werewolves set foot on the return journey together, and the rest will go to the new world to start business in the near future. At this moment, they are doing adaptive training , Familiar with new equipment and weapons, and AI-assisted control and robot combat methods.
On the way back, the base ship continued to build, and by the time it approached the Monlis solar system, six starships had been built.
Half of the frigates, 18 Jianghe-class ships with a total length of 720 meters, were assigned to protect the starship carrying the werewolves, and this squadron rushed to the red pupil star.
There will be the general headquarters of the drone army.
During the period when the Artifact Fragment Expedition Team was traveling, Chitongxing completed the repair work and has been in-depth renovation.
According to the plan, it will complete the first phase of the battle star transformation before the wandering fleet explodes and merge with the wandering fleet.
As far as the current progress is concerned, due to the impact of the encounter with the incarnation of Hastur in the Sara galaxy, the progress has been delayed, and it may be about ten days later than expected.
Therefore, the task of the Sigma werewolves is also very urgent. They need to master the combat system as soon as possible, and formulate a new big plan, including the meeting point, and the subsequent strategic plan.
What Kane meant was that as soon as he made a sound, he would push horizontally, without giving the hybrids and zerg a chance to breathe, annihilate most of them, and drive them out of the Koprulu sector.
Then, while resting for a while, a large number of scouting fleets were dispatched to determine the location of the remaining main force of the Zerg, and launched a hunt. At the same time, they launched a campaign to wipe out the remaining Zerg in the Koprulu star area, to prevent the possibility of their resurgence.
Kane specifically pointed out that the most terrifying zerg are the lowly ones.
Because whether it is a human colony planet or a protoss colony planet, there are many loopholes in defense. If the zergs play the game of jihad charge + zerg virus, the two races will be devastated.
Although because of his early intervention and the large-scale promotion of anti-epidemic drugs, the harm of the Zerg virus has been effectively controlled, but don't forget that the Zerg now has the old master as its father.
Those hybrids are much more difficult to deal with than the hybrids of the original historical line. It is not unimaginable to bypass the anti-epidemic agents and generate new genetically mutated viruses.
Therefore, he asked the Sigma werewolf to consider this matter as soon as possible, do the relevant work well, give full play to the advantages of numbers, build a solid wall, and protect the living planets with large populations as their own rear.
As for what the Federation doesn't cooperate with, if you face a powerful force with a daily output of 100,000 Battle Cruisers and don't know how to be a grandson for a few days, then just run over to death. Just a minority, erase all, but only 10% of the total population.
Lao Tzu is officially in power, and he dared to jump around and refuse to cooperate, so he wiped out all the superstructure of human society. He has long seen that this bunch of waste who enjoys more than 80% of human material control rights is not pleasing to the eye.
Kane has such a rough and cruel way of thinking without careful screening and changing the whole crop.
"The main problem in human society has always been the problem of wealth distribution. Intensive obliteration of the upper class is the most efficient way to solve the problem. It's like killing fat pigs. It's just that human beings have always lacked a sharp enough knife, and Always let fat pigs hold the power of life and death. At the same time, that's why they are fat. So it doesn't matter who is good and who is bad, even if they are not vested interests, they are also unrighteous. Those so-called innocent successful people, if they don't Following the already distorted rules, it is impossible to rise to the top, and it is difficult to rise up for a long time. As for whether he is forced to be helpless or not, what matters is the facts and the consequences that need to be borne."
This is the 'one-sword verdict' that Kane himself had discussed with Hermione and the others.
According to Kane, once initiated, the operation will be completed within 24 hours.
The most interesting thing here is that erasing these people has little impact on the normal functioning of society. These people are often not responsible for the specific operation of various key positions, just like the mayor of a town on the earth who has been a cat for many years and has not seen the people living in dire straits.
Kane also pointed out that if fat pigs are killed, new fat pigs will still grow. There is no one-and-done solution. The difference lies in how many people die and how much wealth is lost to solve the problem. His cleansing method is very directional, and it kills less and has good results.
The humans in the Koprulu sector don't know that a sharp butcher's knife is being forged, and they are still playing the game of fooling the bottom and bleeding.
Huyou's slogan is naturally relatively lofty: This is a battle for survival, there is no distinction between north and south, and people are regardless of age, and it is the responsibility of defending the land.
When talking about responsibility, I think of the big guy, and when I share the fruit, I only remember myself.
However, the slogans were shouted again, and the soaring death toll made the Federation almost unable to survive.
Ordinary people don't have such a high endurance, especially the endurance is related to social status, ethnic cohesion and other indicators. Just like now, the number of deaths has broken the 10 million mark, and the Federation is already at the end of its rope and entering collapse countdown.
The main thing is that the conscription is not uniform, but from certain areas, so that almost everyone in those areas has relatives and friends who died due to the war.
These places are already overwhelmed, and they are about to explode.
And the demand for combat power on the front line is simply a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. There are 127 large-scale battlefields alone. The bitter fruit of withdrawing from more than a dozen strategic nodes in one breath is now beginning to taste.
This is like fighting in ancient times, giving up dangerous obstacles, hoping to exchange space for time and lengthen the opponent's supply line.
Some time has been changed, but unfortunately the precious time has not been used efficiently.
The Federation is completely counting on the protoss to complete internal adjustments during this period and re-enter the war.
Backed by mountains and mountains, by rivers and rivers, the protoss has not been able to adjust until now, but the army of hybrid hellworms has been completely killed, what should we do?
There was no better way, and the three new recruits who hadn't finished their training were drawn to the front line.
A giant of a few million is enough to form a grand landscape on the earth, but it is simply insignificant when thrown into the vast star field. 127 battlefields are divided into one point, how much is the investment of tens of thousands of people in a large battlefield? Not much at all, and the number of enemies is more than a hundred times that number.
It was a desperate war, and the media all gave up the live broadcast and chose to broadcast the press release, because they could play word games in this way, and the result of reporting the truth would be an immediate collapse.
When the expedition fleet arrived in the Orion star field, the colony star battle had already begun, and the three colony stars started a brutal ground battle, and the death toll every hour was close to the total population of Chosara.
Only at this time did people realize that it was not the zerg who wanted to eat whatever they wanted, but that the gray beards were so awesome that they could achieve such victories. For other battle groups, even if they dare to die, they can only die, and they cannot pull so many enemies as a backup.
After receiving such news, Kane said he had nothing to say.
Plans can never keep up with change. According to the current situation, when his drone fleet explodes, he may be able to avenge the more than 20 billion humans in the Koprulu sector.
27 days!
Is that a big number for a planet-based civilization?
Not at all.
How many 27 days did the Federation waste?
27 days, in the past, was not enough for one-third of a battlecruiser built by the Federation's shipyards. The average construction period of a behemoth-class battlecruiser was 103 days.
Kane will take these 27 days, and on the 28th day, tens of thousands of battlecruisers will enter the arena.
No, I just can't wait. After 27 days, the hybrid hellworm can kill all the main human colonies.
The teeth of those who hate it itch, but there is still his 'credit' in it.
If he hadn't acted as Lathander of the Tal'darin clan and went to Eidion to liberate the Purifiers on the Sebulos, but let Narud take that power away, wouldn't the Protoss not have internal A big adjustment, still fighting against the hybrids, and then selling the gray beard, and supporting it until the wandering fleet completes the expansion?
I don't know, it's really hard to say what didn't happen, but it is indeed possible to look at the trend.
The time to make a decision has come, should we stick to the usual style of saving lives, or endure until the moment when the battle of revenge begins?
