Chapter 919 Archangel

Cupid's chest character changes continuously, but he couldn't understand what it meant. The combination of words and words was extremely inconsistent, just like a confusion in the AI ​​system.

After a moment, the crystal robot simply retracted the five silver wires under his cheek, activated the engine behind him, and turned around in the air, and threw it into an 8-meter-long wreckage not far away.

Tang Fangluo thought about it, kicked the wreckage behind him, followed Cupid, and floated towards the wreckage of the warship.

After a few breaths, he entered the internal space of the wreckage under the guidance of the crystal robot. Then, he saw a black polyhedral metal ball fixed to the beam in front of Cupid.

"This is……"

Seeing the appearance of the polyhedral metal ball and the black holes on it reminded him of the battle image he watched in Central Star Harbor. The Wu Zhu-class armored ship was bombarded by a Nemesis-class tactical destroyer, revealing the scene of the internal structure.

The polyhedral metal ball in front of me is much smaller than the black ball in the core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship. I think it is the heart of the Safari-class fast assault ship.

He did not contact the polyhedral metal ball as soon as possible to avoid any trouble. He just mobilized the detectors outside to release all functions and scan the target at a fixed point to determine what the polyhedral metal ball was like. Although he could not detect the energy reaction, why could it affect Cupid?

Soon, the detector that entered the accurate scanning mode gave the scan results. After comparing multiple ways, Emma reported an abnormality to him: "Commander, the space-time density near this black sphere is very slightly distorted. According to the scan results of the detector, weak traces of gravity fluctuations can be detected."

Tang Fang said: "What does the traces of gravity fluctuations mean?"

Emma said: "It means that when this core device is alive, it has a violent gravitational wave release process, which has some impact on the surrounding space and space, creating many subspace faults and dimensional gaps. Cupid himself was designed by the Ipsilons to repair the Ashtorlando system, and has the ability to sense wormholes and subspace abnormalities. Perhaps because of this, it is affected by the black polyhedral metal sphere and such an abnormal reaction."

Emma's speculation makes sense, but what he doesn't understand is what Cupid just passed on to him can actually affect the Ipsilon runes on his forehead and activate the expansion function of the interstellar system.

Emma could not give a suitable answer to this question, but said that it might be another expression of information, which exceeded human understanding and the current level of measurement technology.

"Can't it be... the third committee's technological level has reached the height of the Ipsilon?"

Thinking of his previous experience in the Lost Land, the Ipsilons could already use dark matter and dark energy initially, perhaps... the Third Committee also had similar technologies.

Emma said: "Commander, I don't think they have the technology to manipulate dark matter or dark energy. The abnormal situation just now should be just the stress response of the Ipsilon rune in your mind."

He nodded, simply not wasting energy on this incomprehensible thing, and turned his attention to the system space: "Emma, ​​please check it out which racial space the newly expanded elements of the system are located?"

"Please wait..." After a moment, Emma's voice sounded again: "Commander, according to the changes in memory pool data, the new expansion project is located in the Human Base and the Star Spirit Base."

"Human Base and Star Spirit Base?" Tang Fang was shocked. He had never encountered this situation before. In the past, the expansion of new units was used to act on a single race. It was really incredible that one object unlocked two race items.

He first put his consciousness into the human base, selected a scv, pressed the hotkey, and found that no new units were unlocked in the basic/advanced building menu. Then he clicked around the production and scientific research buildings, but still found no new elements.

Until I calmed down and carefully selected the troops and buildings again, I finally found a page turn option in the lower right corner of the Starry Sky Base.

Press the hotkey, and the menu bar screen changes. Icons such as Rockwell propaganda boat, three-headed pirate battleship, colonial bomber ship, etc. disappear, and are replaced by Archangel, Haiba-class battlecruiser, Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Heraclos-class battlecruiser, and Gergon-class battlecruiser.

Tang Fang was shocked by the scene in front of him, and never thought that the Starry Sky Base had such a function.

Of course, a safari-class fast assault ship cannot unlock battleship-level spaceships, Seabag-class battlecruisers, and Behemoth-class battlecruisers, and four other types of battleships are still locked. The unlocking conditions are "unknown", but the Angel icon is in a highlighted posture and has been activated.

The Archangel is a giant fighter jet and the prototype of the Viking fighter jet. It appeared in the Battle of Heart of the Swarm. Its fighting style is very special, like a big toy, which was finally dismantled by Kerrygan.

Tang Fang is not unfamiliar with it, but what makes him speechless is that the elite Viking fighter's army, the Sea Rain Angel, has not been unlocked yet, and the prototype has been unlocked first. This... is really surprising.

The system comment shows that Archangel has 5 major components.

1. Strengthened fuselage: As the prototype of the new generation of fighter aircraft developed by the Empire after the Battle of the Breast, Archangel spent a lot of money during the research and development process. The engineers did not hesitate to equip it with the best airborne equipment and the most advanced alloy, hoping that it could replace the Valkyrie frigate and become an excellent air combat unit that can stand alone. Because from the beginning, it was planned to use it to replace the bulky Valkyrie frigate to cover the battle patrol, bomb at high altitude, and support ground troops. The Archangel's fuselage was shorter than the Valkyrie frigate, but it was longer than the ghost fighter, and it was much heavier in armor, especially the use of next-generation steel and anti-spike and impact materials in important parts, which made it a huge aerial war eagle.

2. Strengthen the armament: In order to maximize the practicality of combat units and battlefield survivability, to adapt to the racial characteristics and attack methods of alien insects, Archangel has the need to support ground troops in addition to conducting air strike missions. Archangel is equipped with ground weapons that are far more powerful than Viking fighters. After the switching from Sky Overlord to Land Titan, the Gatling machine cannon with more than half of the caliber of Viking fighters turned it into a killing machine. The 3D imaging technology, fire satellite aiming system, and fixed-point bombing mode server made Archangel have a fearsome long-range bombing capability. It also has a 30mm caliber laser cannon to defend air targets. To be honest, the combat power that Archangel can exert in ground battles is not inferior to Thor's siege mecha at all.

3. Strategic module: While ensuring the combat effectiveness of air/ground, the Archangel is also equipped with a very accurate long-range positioning system that can guide the airborne warehouse and be used to accurately shoot ground targets from high altitudes, or even guide nuclear bombs, providing preliminary reconnaissance and clear threat facilities for the orbital bombing of battle cruisers.

4. Engine: The Archangel is equipped with a set of nuclear-powered engines, consisting of the middle main engine and two secondary engines to provide the torque and electricity required for the deformation of this giant fighter. During the deformation process, the secondary engine outputs vector thrust outward through four high-power turbines to ensure that the deformation process can be completed smoothly.

5. Sword Equipment: This equipment of the Archangel is considered to be the bad taste of engineers. Although they themselves do not think so, some engineers would even call it sentiment if they don’t understand it. It turns out that if this thing is used to fight the star spirit, it is to find unhappiness for themselves. It is heavy and inflexible, and there is no need for it to exist at all. It was not until a driver manipulated the Archangel to fall from the sky and pierced the thunder beast that was bound to the body that people felt that this weapon was somewhat useful.

According to the performance of Archangel in all aspects, it is definitely a perfect and impeccable substitute for Valkyrie frigates. However, its high cost makes the empire, which is already tight in finance, very troubled. Due to the harsh situation at home and abroad, Archangel was unable to enter the assembly line and was equipped with a large number of troops. It was used as the secret weapon of the empire to defend some strategic scientific research facilities and important locations.

However, the engineers' efforts were not in vain. As a castrated version of the Archangel, the design plan of the Viking A1 hybrid armored combat machinery and the Viking A2 hybrid armored combat machinery was finally accepted by the Imperial Party. Among them, the Viking A2 hybrid armored combat machinery was equipped with troops on a large scale because of its super high cost-effectiveness, and eventually replaced the ghost fighter and became the standard fighter of the Imperial Fleet.

The Archangel is larger than the Viking fighter jets and the Sea Rain Angel, and the unit cost is also much higher. It costs 1,000 crystals and 900 gases, and the unit consumes 4. The cost is slightly lower than the Valkyrie frigate, but the population occupies a higher population.

Because there is no official data to compare, he cannot imagine how powerful the Archangel is. However, it can be seen from the system notes that in the land battlefield, Archangel in the form of mecha has powerful combat power that can be compared to Thor's siege mecha, not to mention that it can also switch to flight mode and transform into a strategic bomber.

The sky is definitely more cool and more visually impactful than griffin fighters, Valkyrie bombers, and Viking fighters.

It seems that with it, the popularity of Thor's siege mechas that occupy up to 6 units on the battlefield will be much weaker, and will be replaced by the archangels who can be lifted up or dominate the ground.

Emma is best at attacking people, best at saying bad things when he is happy. This was the case before, and now it is the same.

"Commander, Archangel is a senior elite unit, and is higher than Viking fighter jets and Sea Rain Angels in terms of military rank. Just like the elite infantry such as Demon Dog, Hammer Security, Spike's Angels, etc., the maximum population limit of 1,000 is 2000, and Archangels are also included. In other words, even if the human base with a population limit of 2,000 is not produced, it only produces archangels, and the system can accommodate up to 100 units."

The proud expression on his face was stagnant, but he didn't complain. First, he was used to it, and second, it was very consistent with the logic of Sister Logic.

He casually put an archangel into the production menu. After a few breaths, the archangel appeared in the empty seat next to the starry sky base.

Compared with Viking fighter jets, its body shape is more streamlined, the model is more refined and textured, and has a high ornamentality.

Moreover, the archangel in the air has the ability to attack air and attack ground at the same time. The skill bar comes with a fire satellite aiming system and wave missiles.

The former increases the range of Archangel's missiles and Gatling's cannons, while the latter is used to increase the attack range of Archangel's kill missiles.

What surprised Tang Fang was that, as stated in the comments, the archangel in front of him was really equipped with a reinforced burst laser cannon, which was also connected to the Fire Satellite aiming system, which can accurately strike the moving targets on the ground.

After the Archangel switched to mecha mode, he had a new active skill - fixed-point bombing, which could use shoulder-carrying missile launchers to perform saturation strikes on a certain range of areas. Some similar to Thor's four-door 250mm Punisher artillery bombardment.

Because he is in the storage unit of the shelter station and is not good at testing the combat capabilities of the Archangel, he gave up the idea of ​​summoning it to the real space, changed his consciousness and entered the Star Spirit Base to find another unlock item that Emma said.

I still checked the building menu first and found that there were no new elements unlocked, and then there was the production of military buildings.

When the cursor moved to the mechanical table, he found a brand new icon behind the detector. From the appearance, it was a drone composed of two parts, one floating in the air and the other with a mechanical chassis like the Dragon Knight.

According to the system's definition, this is an automatic satellite. If the detector is a reconnaissance aircraft that is active in space, then the automatic satellite is a detection device set in planetary orbits or space facilities.

Unlike detectors, it cannot be invisible and is much larger in size. However, its functions are very powerful and comprehensive, and it can complete the topographic mapping, stratigraphic scanning, climate monitoring, elemental analysis and other work on a planet in a very short time.

In other words, the use of this automatic satellite in science and industry is far greater than its use in military terms.

No wonder...no wonder Sister Logic provides him with such an automatic satellite based on the detector.

The system has very short comments on it, with only two major components analysis reports.

1. Cutting-edge sensing system: The scanning end of the automatic satellite integrates a variety of sensing devices. Under the control of the quantum brain, these sub-sensors can perform satellite monitoring without blind spots on the entire planet. With the system running at full strength, it can scan large-scale internal and external space at a frequency of hundreds or thousands of times per minute. In addition, automatic satellites can also cooperate with ground mobile base stations to conduct detailed and accurate inspections of a planet's geological environment, and then locate minerals and underground suspicious targets. It can also be used to predict most geological disasters and time and space anomalies.

2. Mobile base station: In addition to the scanning end of the integrated multi-purpose sensing system, automatic satellites also have a mobile base station. The all-terrain suspension system gives it extremely excellent ability to cross terrain and can collect data in the harshest environment and climate conditions. At the same time, the pulse shock explosion engine driven by phantom gives it short-distance flight capabilities. It is also a satellite terminal storage and repair platform, and the built-in repair robot is responsible for the maintenance work of the satellite terminal. (To be continued.)
