A Will Eternal Chapter 453
Remember [Literature Bus] in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!
The journey to Monlis was not smooth, but the artifact fragment was finally in hand.
Get three out of four, only the piece of Titanium Wind remains.
The last piece is likely to have been taken to the new world. Kane also conducted a special test before. Facts have proved that the crack-like boundary gate in the mountain gap of Titanium Wind can allow artifact fragments to pass through freely.
Kane felt a little bored when he thought that the other side of the gate was a new world where extraordinary power prevailed. The frustrating point is that the cost of getting the last piece is probably extremely high. Searching and obtaining it will consume a lot of time and energy, which will seriously reduce the overall cost performance of the action of getting the Xel'naga artifact.
After all, his core reason for obtaining this item stems from a conjecture: even for Xel'Naga, this artifact is the only creation that is almost impossible to reproduce. a fetish.
Such an inference has a certain sense of disobedience. After all, it is the understanding of ordinary people. Since the item is so important, it is too unreasonable for it to be kept by the guardian civilization and used as a waypoint stone for the endless reincarnation ceremony?
However, from the related events that occurred in the original history, it can be seen that the Sarnaga artifact is unique, and it is clear that Narud in Urna has no way to make it himself or obtain a second similar artifact in Urna, but Can only find pieces to put together.
Anyway, in Kane Zhao's eyes, this creation is a better tool for him to achieve his goals.
Up to now, his gains in this universe have exceeded expectations.
Of course, the more the better in this regard, but from another perspective, there is not much high-end knowledge that can be tapped in this universe.
This is because the higher the level, the worse the universality. He believes that the knowledge mastered by the Sarnaga who have existed for hundreds of millions of years is high-end, but at the same time, he also believes that most of that knowledge is closely related to the power of the void. association.
This kind of knowledge is only applicable to the universe of the SC system, even if he obtains it, most of it is based on ideas.
Therefore, there is a cost-effective problem here. If excessive investment is made, he will feel that it is not worth it.
Some people may say that the characteristics of artifacts can be used to convert more civilized technologies into valuable information. The ghost civilization is not a good example. The discovery of -76 element gave birth to the black hole bomb, which was very eye-catching during the Great War.
This Kane really thought about it. It's just that he feels that the special case of the virtual ghost civilization is a fluke if it can come across it. It can't be expected that a civilization that has been lost for millions of years still has enough heritage to be parsed into information.
However, if it is an active civilization, such as Protoss and Zerg, the Xel'naga artifacts are useless, because of normal interaction, the knowledge information obtained is probably more complete, comprehensive, and more systematic.
In any case, after Monlis, Kane intends to put this line on hold for a while.
Now that he has invested a lot of capital, saved the humans in the Koprulu star area, and gained almost supreme commanding power, Kane feels that it is the minimum morality and responsibility to start it well and end it well.
The collection of artifact fragments can be delayed, but the rescue operation cannot be delayed.
Entering the "Great Rescue" stage, the many problems he will face can be said to be innumerable.
The human beings who have arrived at the refuge need to be properly resettled, and new problems arise every day, and Tiangong has no right to make decisions, so he needs to make a decision himself.
As for the rescue of the surviving humans on the various colonial planets, there are also many issues that require him to make up his mind.
This is largely due to his vigilance against AI. For example, Veritia, the Pearl of the Commonwealth, is a dark pit. If the people there are to be rescued or not, the AI can only give relevant information, but has no right to make decisions. He must make the final decision.
Facing the new situation, the Sigma Werewolf Staff Group has given some plans on how to use the Constellation-class warships, but in the end he still needs to authorize the plans to take effect.
And his authorization is also based on information analysis and careful consideration,
This takes time and energy. It's just that the current communication is so close to the world, and the office can be more casual.
On the other hand, this is an interactive world, and it is impossible for Kane to only pay attention to his own. He has to pay attention to the movements of his allies, the protoss, and the movements of the enemy's hybrid swarms.
It is very obvious that the mixed races are gathering and reorganizing, accumulating energy and preparing for a big move. It is impossible for him not to pay attention to where the new hammer will fall.
According to his order, the Constellation-class battleship group has now been broken into pieces and rushed to the colonial planets to serve as the main fleet for the big rescue.
Most of the ships in the original Kupru sector were transformed into warp bombs and consumed at one time.
Includes ships of the Umogian Protectorate and Kymer Consortium.
The hybrid swarms attacked the human colony planets in the entire Koprulu star area. Where there is a dense population, the focus is, and these two countries were not spared.
Although the old Federation is at sunset, its economy and military strength are far superior to both.
The old Federation was overwhelmed by the hybrid swarms, and the military strength of the two countries was even more insufficient. From the alliance with the protoss to the full-scale invasion of the hybrid swarms in the later period, the two countries are soy sauce roles with difficulties.
During the mass evacuation, these two countries were also screened, and now it can be said that they exist in name only.
However, Arcturus Mengsk is mainly responsible for the early operation and later absorption.
Mengsk's wife's family is a big chaebol who can influence the policy direction of the Umogian protectorate. Many of the dignitaries in the Kaymer Union are also closer to the Mengsk family.
It can be said that a power that is different from the big powers outside the Federation has its own tendency and need to establish itself. Kane is also making the best use of the situation to ease group conflicts, rather than simply arbitrarily arbitrarily making a fight between the Empire and the New Federation. .
The main body of the future empire will be the Keha, Umogians, and Kymers who have long tried to establish a separate sect, and then absorb the old federal people who are dissatisfied with Kane's brutal rule.
Of course, there are also people who jumped from these three forces to the new federation. The grass on the opposite hillside tends to look more lush, and Kane Zhao, who said he prefers "a real villain who takes responsibility at critical moments, sticks to what he says, and puts all his evil in the light", also has a lot of people.
Therefore, the recent daily activities of the people placed on the red pupil star, including choosing a new identity for themselves, are almost universal participation, which is far more lively than the federal election year.
After the big evacuation, the protoss also quickly saw a new round of horses and soldiers from the hybrid swarm, and guessed that the new heavy punch of the incarnation of Hastur would probably hit the protoss.
They are naturally very nervous about this.
But they can't say that it was wrong for the Constellation-class battleship group to break up into parts and carry out a large-scale rescue. After all, if it were them, they would make similar decisions. The great rescue is not only a just cause, but also political correctness, otherwise, what kind of group cohesion is there?
However, the dismantling of the Constellation-class battleship group cannot effectively restrain the assembled hybrid group. In this way, the hybrid swarm can quickly complete pre-war preparations.
The protoss also tried to contain and weaken the super gold fleet that participated in the offensive and defensive battle of Tarsonis and joined the newly arrived Purifier fleet, but the effect was not satisfactory.
The Hastur incarnation dispatched hybrids that did not absorb the Zerg to occupy important strategic nodes.
These hybrids are not waiting to die. They are building at various strategic nodes and building space fortresses. The three largest ones are the main assembly points of hybrid clusters today.
The hybrid Space Fortress is like a super huge crab trap, with different numbers of hybrids connected by tentacles to create this planet-level creation.
Hybrid swarms gathered in this strange fortress. The Super Golden Fleet's light spear strikes had little effect, and although the tentacle beam's counterattack was not accurate, the large number of regional coverage strikes still gave the Super Golden Fleet A certain loss.
Faced with this situation, some protoss proposed to learn from humans, focus fire for cover, and then use large-yield warp bombs. As long as the total effective damage comes up, it should be able to play a role.
The protoss high command held urgent discussions on this proposal.
Warp bombs are not only needed for the Super Golden Fleet, but also for defending Al.
For the protoss who have always taken the less and more precise route, the number of ways to win by quantity is somewhat unacceptable from the perspective of the production system.
This requires the protoss to make up their minds, because the transformation and adjustment of the production system takes time. It is very likely that the hybrid cluster will be killed just after the transformation is completed. If that is the case, it is better to continue to follow the established system and produce more. A void radiance ship struck by a spear.
Seeing that the second half of the great war was about to reach its climax with the hybrid swarm attacking Al, Xel'Naga appeared in a very abrupt way.
At least for Kane, so to speak.
According to his usual habits, intelligence acquisition has always been the focus. There are over ten thousand scout ships scattered in the Koprulu sector, and there are even more small scout equipment.
So the first-hand information that Kane got was that a world ship suddenly appeared in the Keang galaxy, which is one of the three gathering places for hybrid clusters, and about 200 clusters gathered here to carry out magical transformation of combat units. Transformation-based pre-war preparations.
After the roughly pyramid-shaped worldship arrived, it projected energy visible to the naked eye to the area where the hybrid space fortress was located, making it impossible for the hybrid swarm to use group teleportation or wormhole transition.
Immediately, the world ship unfolded, forming a black hole, swallowing all the hybrids and hellworms in the area in one fell swoop. As for whether the other end is a void universe, it is impossible to accurately judge from the video information captured.
This operation of Sarnaga naturally surprised the three parties of humans, protoss, and hybrids. Hastur's avatar gave the order to disperse almost immediately, and the hybrids in the other two assembly areas clustered Make dozens of fleets and go to various places.
Part of these hybrid fleets soon joined the attack on the human colony that had not yet completely fallen, including the fierce battle of Hoffman, and the intensity of the war increased in vain.
In addition, the incarnation of Hastur also launched the battle against the Nerazim protoss in advance, and the offensive and defensive battle on Sacoolas kicked off.
Kane wondered why the coordinates of Sacoolas were leaked?
It was only later that I found out that Nerazim Protoss had already fought against the servant of Hastur's incarnation more than a hundred years ago. Hastur's incarnation chose not to entangle with him too deeply, but he never forgot that he still There is such an account to settle.
For more information about Xel'Naga, Kane learned from Tassadar.
It turned out that before Xel'Naga's world ship appeared, its oracle had already negotiated with the Supreme Council of the Protoss.
Kane has doubts about this aspect, that is, how did the Xel'Naga oracle win the trust and persuade the Supreme Council of the Protoss to make them willing to ally with humans and start a war with hybrids?
You must know that the members of the Supreme Council who know a lot of dark history and secrets are not as simple and honest as most of the Kalai protoss. They are qualified politicians. It is impossible to trust anyone, and it is impossible to start a war easily.
But the matters involved in this question are too sensitive, let alone a mercenary leader, even if he asks it as an angel, it would be boring.
This time it was Tassadar who took the initiative.
It turns out that the reason is simple, all exchanges between people and land are for profit, and the Supreme Council of the Protoss is also for the benefit of its own ethnic group.
When the zerg appeared, the attitude they showed gave people a very bad feeling.
Even if the Supreme Council doesn't really believe that Kane pretends to be an angel of descent and speaks so much, they still have a basic understanding, that is, the protoss is probably not good with the Zerg.
In other words, there must be a big battle between the two sides.
The appearance of the incarnation of Hastur further strengthened the sense of crisis of the protoss.
Under such a background, it seems to be a very cost-effective thing to get close to the thigh of the Creator and obtain real benefits by the way.
And this real benefit is also the reason why the protoss confirmed the origin of the envoy, the Kaidarin crystal.
The Xel'Naga God Envoy took out a full set of related technologies of the Kedarin crystal, as a reward for the protoss' response to Xel'Naga's call, and at the same time proved his origin.
This is a deal that the protoss cannot refuse. Their civilization has huge hidden dangers because of Amon's overthrow. One of the specific manifestations is their dependence on the Kaidarin crystal.
Knowing why not knowing why. The hang that made material civilization develop rapidly at the beginning gradually became a shackle, and now this shortcoming has been made up. The benefits are not reflected for a while, but the impact is definitely far-reaching.
And this time Tasadaken told Kane these secrets on behalf of the Protoss, mainly because the Protoss found out that they had been calculated.
The psionic energy that happened to Kerrigan in the original history line was deprived by the Xel'naga artifact, and thus became the key energy drama that made Amon come down, and it almost happened to the protoss.
Tassadar told Kane: "We have reason to believe that the emergence of Xel'Naga is based on the plundering of the psionic energy of many of my protoss compatriots!"
