Chapter 764 Mothership Core(1/2)
This may be related to the physique of the Ipsilon people. The dark matter that makes up the Ipsilon rune cannot be quantized, which seriously restricts the development progress of the Ipsilon people's space-time technology.
However, from the "Ashtorlando" system and to the current teleportation beacon, it can be seen that the Ipsilon rune has not become an insurmountable barrier for the Ipsilon people, but has only slowed down their pace.
If we look at it simply from a functional perspective, the "Ashtorlando" system is similar to the "portal" mechanism of the gods. If the transmission beacon and its related equipment are integrated into the entire transportation system, wouldn't it be the same as the combination of the "Zheyue Gate" + "Crystal Tower" of the gods?
Of course, at this point, the Ipsilons have not yet reached the technological height of arbitrary crossing of the Astral Spirit, because in order to run the "Ashtolando" system, it is necessary to have a dimensional tunnel built with a dimensional lock.
At the same time, when the transmission beacon is activated, a special space energy is needed to stabilize the wormhole structure and build a special gravitational field carrying the Ipsilon runes. If he guessed correctly, it should be an isotope crystal derived from zero-element.
The energy of zero-prime isotope, even in the Ipsilon society, is a relatively intimate resource and can only be put into use in certain special areas, such as the main gun of the Fearless Commander-class Fortress "Revelation".
The above information was all the moment when the magic sword broke, and he thought of the moment when he saw the energy crystals of the stars.
He didn't know how long the real world had passed, but in his mind it was just a blink of an eye. When consciousness returned and his body could move freely, he found that he had left the Bavarian space station and appeared in a strange place.
There is still a soft touch under my feet. It originates from the green meadow, but under the fine soil, there is a crystal platform emitting silver-white light.
At the same time, a series of jumping light arcs attracted his attention.
They come from above the crystal platform, lingering around a huge facility like a water ball. The light that spreads out casts rippling waves on the water surface, and at first glance it looks like countless silver carp.
In fact, the most eye-catching thing is a psionic flame floating above the opposite operating table.
There is no doubt that this is a large Ypsilon ruin. It is also the reason why he deliberately made Reeves succeed.
The new Ipsilon ruins indicate new Astrology technology, but if he wants to get in touch with the psychic flames, he will first defeat Ansaldo and step past his body.
The magic sword had broken, and some fragments fell on the meadow, which looked a little dazzling under the erosion of silver streamers.
Tang Fang raised his head and looked at his face with a calm gaze.
Ansar was puzzled. If both sides changed their identities, he would definitely be surprised and even felt fearful. However, Tang Fang's expression was very calm, as if he had known that such a scene would have happened.
"I can make you a wise ghost."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple. Before death, Tang Fang could express his questions and he would answer truthfully.
Unfortunately, Tang Fang didn't want to ask anything. The only thought in his mind was to finish Ansaldo as quickly as possible and get what was in the psychic flame.
Without warning, Ansaldo's chest was pierced by a blue light blade.
Whether it is a strong body or extraordinary skill, it has no effect in front of the blue light blade.
It came silently, and he died silently.
The only sound was the muffled sound 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 'Hell'. Is it right?"
When shoulders pass by, neither of them can see the expression of each other.
"I'm sorry, I can't go to the appointment."
The moment Ansaldo collapsed on the platform, the light and shadows flashed in succession, and four vetoers appeared.
The four Kadalin crystals lit up brightly. The "Veeder's Power" inspired a quantum vacuum zone to be created in the outer area of the crystal platform. The active energy surge was suppressed to the lowest point. The bombs that were ambushed around the platform, enough to bomb the entire space station into slag like flames that lost their oxygen support, could not fulfill its inherent mission and became duds.
The "Veeder's Power" relies on the overload of the Kadalin crystal to operate, which has a lot of load on the system and cannot last for too long, but it is enough for the Tang side to obtain information in the psychic flame.
When those light threads were affected by the Ipsilon runes and fell on Tang Fang's wrist, their consciousness was forcibly pulled into the system space.
The interface of the four clans disappeared, and Sister Logic's voice rang in her ears.
"Psychological fluctuations were detected, and the diagnostic program started..."
"The diagnosis is completed and the appropriate astral spirit is confirmed."
"Activate the Star Spirit Base."
"Perform frequency analysis..."
"Fluctuation level b+, Flip Tree unlocking, Technology level 2, unlocking unit 'mothership core'."
While the sound faded, the base selection interface returned.
Tang Fang tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. He did not search for the newly unlocked "mothership core" as soon as possible. Instead, he put on harsh environmental protective clothing as quickly as possible, activate the stealth function, and then released the immortal, and burst out a ball of light and fire towards the weakest part of the space station.
The explosion can be transmitted in the bulkhead, melting metallic matter at high temperature, and the shock wave shatters the bulkhead, causing a strong suction force to pull him into space.
The next second, the bombs placed in the space station showed mass-energy conversion, the surging flames lit up the void, and countless metal fragments sprayed outward, tearing the entire bulkhead apart.
The fireballs formed by bombs exploded one after another spread into a straight line, and in just a few breaths, the entire space station was engulfed and turned into a wreckage with fire.
While waiting for the special operation transport ship to contain it, Tang side put his consciousness into the system space, chose the Gods base, and clicked on the Star Spirit Hub. Sure enough, he found that the core of the mothership, which was originally locked in gray, had been unlocked.
To be honest, this is his first Astral Warship and a combat unit that has been coveted for a long time.
Although it is only the core of the mothership, not the main body of the mothership, and cannot be regarded as an epic unit, no matter what, its combat effectiveness should be stronger than that of the Phoenix fighter jets and scout fighter jets.
One thing he knew very well. The core of the mothership is a strategic unit, not a tactical unit.
Since their return from the depths of space, these ancient motherships have become an indispensable part of every Protoss fleet. However, building these powerful command ships is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, especially at the moment of continuous war. To solve this problem, a group of brave Protoss began to try to use the Mothership core - a huge and super-powered heart-energy crystal - as a defensive weapon during the construction of the mothership hull. This very successful strategy quickly spread throughout the Protoss troops. Today, many Protoss commanders use the core to defend their bases, recharge troops and buildings, and teleport troops on the battlefield.
The mothership core has 4 major components.
1. Repulsive Cannon: After extracting energy from the core energy crystal, the expelling cannon will fire semi-solid state psychic energy and produce a strong knock, which is so strong that it is not suitable for air combat purposes. The knock will generate a large amount of kinetic energy and heat energy and cause damage, allowing each shot to penetrate the object violently, leaving a trajectory full of psychic flame light and clouds behind. 2. Photon Charge: After guiding a large amount of primitive psychic energy to the core energy crystal of the star core, the mothership core can convert it into a deadly weapon. In this state, the overloaded matrix will fire psionic photobullets, which can easily destroy the enemy's scouts and small combat teams; or be used to resist the attack of large attack teams. It is enough to support reinforcements to leaps and join the front.
3. Time and space breaking: The core of the mothership can distort space and space, and establish an infinitely expanded force field on the spot. The field is filled with unpredictable energy flow, which will suppress all things passing through the force field. The enemy troops trapped in the space-time twisted force field are extremely slow to move, allowing the Astral Spirit to easily solve them.
4. Group recall: There is a strong psychic combo between the core of the mothership and the core of the Protoscopy, so the position of the crystal can be used as a beacon for leaping. After releasing a large amount of energy, the core of the mothership can exceed the time and space limitations. A whole group of warriors will be teleported to any protoscopy hub.
In the battle mode, the core of the mothership is a very special unit. It is generally used for early defense and attack. It does not have the combat power bonus given by three passive R&D skills: attack, defense and shield, just like ordinary protoss units.
It only has 4 active skills, "group recall", "time and space breaking", "upgrade to mothership", and "photon overload".
The two skills of "group recall" and "photon overload" must act on the Star Spirit Hub. Under the premise that the system building cannot be concreteized, it is a useless skill and is extremely useless.
"Upgrade to a mothership", as the name suggests, allows for a certain amount of resources to be spent to upgrade the core of the mothership to the ultimate combat unit of the Star Spirit. However, no matter in the battle mode or the battle mode, few people will choose to summon the mothership. Since the skills such as "time bomb", "star explosion beam", "galaxy vortex", and "wormhole teleportation" have been removed one after another, the mothership has completely become the second mascot of the Star Spirit.
If according to Emma, the system positioned the mothership as a poetic unit like Leviathan and Behemoth, does it indicate that those terrifying skills will return to it?
The answer seems to be yes, because the unit cost of poetry history is high, and the consumption of tens of millions of gas is only exchanged for the rise of the population of the astral spirit and the ability to group stealth, which is irrelevant to the style of the logan. After all, the arbitrator can also provide collective stealth, wormhole teleportation, and similar temporal and space-based abilities.
Of course, no matter how strong the mothership is, the premise must be to unlock the relevant technology trees. According to Sister Logic's style, he will definitely not be able to obtain the mothership quickly.
Therefore, the four core active skills of the mothership are three of them, but even if only one of them is "time and space-breaking" is available, it is enough.
In the battle mode, due to the need to take into account both gameplay, "Time and Space Folding" is manifested as creating a space of different degrees, reducing the movement and attack speed of enemy units within the range by 50%.
But in the real world, how powerful is this kind of thing that surpasses the Ipsilon space-time technology? It is frightening to think about it, not to mention that there is a repulsive cannon in the core of the mothership.
Although it is a shock-detonation attack, it is more suitable for ground battles than space naval battles, and it does not mean that it cannot strike air targets.
In the historical context of the StarCraft world, facing the overwhelming flying units of alien insects, the core firepower of the mothership is naturally stretched, but if used to deal with warships of sovereign countries, it will definitely have a good effect.
Unfortunately, only one ship can be produced in the core of the mothership.
When Tang Fang was about to press the production button, he suddenly discovered a problem - the cost of the mothership core was a little wrong.
According to the data in the game, summoning the core of the mothership requires 100 crystals and 100 gas, occupying 2 people.
Considering the size of the mothership core, it may be several times the cost of the game.
Indeed, the cost indicated by Sister Logic is indeed multiples of 100...twenty thousand times of 100.
Yes, the notes show that the cost of building the core of the mothership is 2 million crystals and 2 million gas, and only the occupied population remains unchanged. It is still 2.
If we follow the cost equation of ordinary units, wouldn’t it be said that the core of the mothership is as long as 20km, almost comparable to two Behemoths?
Is this possible? No poetic unit like the mothership is as huge as Behemoth and Leviathan.
Is that because this weapon is too outrageous? The more powerful the time and space breaks? It seems that there is only one explanation.
Fortunately, I am now well-off now, and the total number of system resources has reached 17355925,7464905, which is enough to build such a prodigal strategic unit.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the production hotkey.
The total number of resources fell by 2 million and became 15355925,5464905.
The crystal at the top of the Star Spirit Hub flashed quickly a few times. The light like flowing water spreads, and the core of the mothership appeared above the base.
He selected the target and checked the menu bar on the right. Sure enough, he found that the option "Upgrade to Mothership" was locked in gray.
He shook his head helplessly: "I knew it wasn't that easy."
At this moment, a loud voice came from the ears, and my body felt the suction from the ground. I knew that I had entered the storage compartment of the special operations transport ship safely and was about to evacuate the system space. I suddenly found an abnormality.
He calmed down and swept across the upper right corner of the interface again. He found that it was not his own vision. The upper limit of the population of the Star Spirit actually increased from 1,000 to 1,100, and the entire increase was 100.
Although only 100 units are added, it means 50 Phoenix fighters. 50 Phoenix fighters are enough to match a fleet of 200 improved frigate-level battleships.
No wonder the cost of the mothership core is as high as 2 million crystals and 2 million gases. It turns out that there are such benefits.
The phase turret matrix of the "Angel" is Busefalos, the core of the mothership...
Could it be that it is really fate?
He turned his consciousness back to reality, looked at the wreckage of the space station that was gradually cooling off at the other end of the porthole, and turned toward the cockpit.
Jaspa and Linova spent a lot of money to kill him.
That small scientific research station less than a thousand meters is not valuable, and those nuclear bombs are not valuable. What is really valuable is the Ipsilon ruins that can be teleported through wormholes.
To be continued...
