StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 135 What is Koplu's No. [-] Best Brother!

Residents on the Victor V are still enduring the severe and extreme weather. When the sandstorm comes, they hide in the solid concrete buildings hidden deep in the ground, completely unaware that a team consisting of three frigates and small airships is working on plasma thrusters. Launched into the sky in a spout of gorgeous flames.

When the fleet entered the hyperspace channel under the lead of the flagship, Victor V just hid in their safe home, hoping for the early arrival of the spaceship that brought the colony's scarce daily necessities.

The hard and poor life has worn away the colonial people's longing for a better life. Their simple observation instruments and gray eyes cannot see the billions of stars through the gray storm.

The patchwork fleet was down to 49 ships when it jumped into the Chrono Lane, all ships stuffed with loot and people.

Four days later, the First Fleet of the Korha Revolutionary Army jumped to a star system marked only by a series of numbers on the star map. The sun of this star system was dying, and the light and heat it released were gradually weakening.But for the next hundreds of millions of years, its light will still be able to illuminate the entire galaxy.

The fleet was anchored in the orbit of an Earth-like planet with a highly toxic atmosphere in this galaxy, and several transport ships left the fleet to land on its only moon rich in high-energy gas deposits.

Then the workers of the Revolutionary Army drove the space engineering construction vehicles out of the cargo warehouse of the spaceship, and built a high-energy gas refinery on this lunar planet, which was left with huge craters and mountains due to the impact of meteorites, to provide the fleet with the necessary supplies. Fuel replenishment.

Augustus chose to stay in this galaxy briefly to wait for the reinforcement fleet from Korhal. In Umoyan, a Behemoth-class battlecruiser Hyperion and six Salengar-class - The cruiser and a fleet of more than [-] Umoyan volunteers who have just left their hometown have set off.

Unlike Kehana's temporarily modified civilian ships, Umoyan's fleet is all genuine warships.

According to the guarantee given by the Umoyan National Defense Army before departure, this force will join Augustus' fleet in the second sector in May.

While Augustus was waiting for the arrival of the support fleet on the first day, a spaceship carrying several zerg specimens and a live larva flew to the other side of the Koprulu sector.

At this moment, on a galaxy in the territory of the Tyranid Federation that serves as a transportation hub for interstellar routes, a technology company named Cerberus Engineering is worrying about the large-scale withdrawal of capital by the main investor.

Stakeholders in Project Cerberus are hesitating whether to continue working on cows and other biotechnologies, or to move into the increasingly hot field of prosthetics and body modification.

Perhaps the wealthy people of the Tyrann Federation will need a modified human army, and these modified soldiers have received varying degrees of mechanical prosthetic modification.In terms of physical fitness, strength and means of attack, the transformed soldiers will be far superior to ordinary people.

But this technology company, eager to get out of trouble, has repeatedly hit a wall with the federal government. The reason is not that corrupt and short-sighted officials are neither willing to fund nor optimistic about the prospects of this field, but because they think that doing so will pay for a soldier. Excessive cost.In contrast, the resocialized soldier was perfect enough.

Unbeknownst to Augustus, the Cerberus project was impatiently waiting for a new benefactor to take over, and whoever was willing to pay would be their father.

On the third day, a "messenger" beacon that could travel between galaxies with the ability to travel through time and space was captured by Augustus's subordinates while flying over this galaxies.

The beacon is only slightly larger than the smallest galaxy hopper, and looks like a football made of titanium alloy.This beacon, which runs on an intelligent program, is like a drifting bottle wandering in the boundless universe, wandering forever with the letters missed by countless people.

Usually it will only stop briefly on a colony planet, and after maintenance by the operating company, it will take off with more letters and images.

The inside of the beacon may store millions of ordinary letters or just an image.The only difference is whether the person who uses it is willing to buy it permanently at a very high price.

Augustus finally smiled as the beacon unfurled its brackets on the frigate's lower deck and immediately began broadcasting video.

Originally a text message: My dear Augustus, my brother.It has been five months since we last met.That seems to be forever in my memory.

Next is the image of Arcturus Mengsk, which was pre-recorded two months ago, and Augustus also believed that the beacon had been wandering for the same amount of time before it was recorded on its body. The locator found here.

Arcturus Mengsk in front of the camera is wearing a dark brown thick cotton textile jacket and a yellow, eye-catching hard hat on his head.Despite some unwashable oil stains and wet mud on his clothes, Arcturus's composed expression makes it difficult to associate him with miners rather than nobles.

Arcturus will remain calm at all times. If he is facing other people, he will definitely find a clean suit and ensure that he is in the best condition. Attitudes are shown.

But in conversation with Augustus, Arcturus seemed far more casual and relaxed.Arcturus loved his family more than he hated everything else.

"I just received a message from my mother." Arcturus's gray eyes looked in other directions at this time, and he didn't know whether he didn't want to face the news or his brother.

"Mom said I had a son. I thought she was joking, but it turned out that I laughed too early and too inappropriately." He showed an indescribable expression: "I haven't seen her lose her temper for a long time, as if Lions roar in my ears."

"Even Angus used his mother to pretend to be a tiger in front of me. I swear I have never been so embarrassed in my life."

It didn't look like Augustus' brother was feeling the slightest bit of joy about it, as he acted like he ate a plate of dead flies.

"We all thought that there would be no problems. Zhulinna should take contraceptives, unless she wants to get pregnant out of wedlock. I don't think I should be more responsible than Zhulinna in this matter!" Aktur Si showed the true qualities of a scumbag that surprised Augustus.

"Later, I thought about it carefully." Arcturus said bitterly: "Although I never shouldered the responsibility of a father in the seven years that child grew up, I should try to be a father." Father, after all he is my heir."

"It was a difficult decision for me. I never wanted to start a family, let alone be bound by a family."

"Fuck, especially since I've almost forgotten about that night. But is it my fault? Why didn't Julianna contact me? I. We have a baby, and if he's already born, I won't let it She aborted the child," he continued.

"I'll go to Umoyan. If Valerian is like you were when you were a kid, then maybe I can find some good ways to get along with him."

Arcturus was obviously too troubled by this information, so he was full of complaints, but he quickly put the matter behind him: "I won't mention this troublesome thing, I want to talk to you Talk about bad news."

"In the beginning, I hired a few skilled workers and took my original subordinates to the edge of the world to explore mineral deposits. Because I dared to go where others dared not go, dared to do things that others dared not do, plus With some professional analysis and good luck, I discovered a small mine of high-purity crystal. The value of this mine is enough to pay off my previous debts."

"Later I discovered a larger crystal mine, which is enough to make me a rich man." Arcturus said, "But because of the harassment of the Kymerians, I had to sell this mine." Mine went to more distant galaxies, which is why you couldn't contact me at all in the first place."

"According to an old detection report, I traveled to a distant world called Peak. After months of futile exploration, my persistence finally paid off-there is so much wealth there that even our children and grandchildren can't bear it." It’s endless, the minerals that have been explored are enough to buy half of Stilling, and I suspect that the entire planet is filled with sparkling crystal mines.”

"The Kemerians and the Tyranid Federation will invest legion-level troops for Peak Peak, and this will even become the trigger for the second all-out war. This joy dilutes the astonishment and bewilderment I felt when I learned that I had a son What to do."

Augustus was really happy for his brother, because his next sentence made him overjoyed: "Augustus, I want to tell you some good news. I think that according to your initial payment to me Sponsorship, you deserve two-fifths of this deposit."

"Old Meng, dear brother!" Augustus maintained his original expression and looked around on the lower deck to see that there was no one around. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore, so that he broke out the native dialect that he hadn't used for a long time.

"I think you should be able to use these." At this time, Arcturus's expression became serious. Keha hadn't rebelled more than two months ago, but he was wise enough to understand that it was only a matter of time .

"Augustus, my beloved brother. As long as my team is still digging new deposits, you will have two-fifths of what's in it. And if I die in the process, take my Leave it to Mama and Dorothy." Arcturus said these words with great affection, forgetting when he seemed to have a son.

But it doesn't matter, Valerian and his father are after all a model of fatherly kindness and filial piety.

Augustus also didn't think about his poor nephew, he was already thinking about how to spend the money.First of all, Augustus has to build new warships, recruit more manpower, and include high-potential technology companies such as Cerberus Engineering under his command.

On 5 May, Augustus' fleet was joined by a force of six Colossus-class frigates and over two hundred transports and airships from Korhal.

By 5 May, the support fleet from Umoyan had finally arrived.At 10:10 ship time, Augustus, the overjoyed Reynolds and others took the shuttle to board the much wider flight deck of the Hyperion.

Fleet soldiers of the Umoyan Volunteer Army in white uniforms warmly welcomed Augustus and brought a few bouquets of precious flowers. All non-commissioned officers, lieutenants and field officers of the battleship volunteer army announced that they would be independent in Keha War absolutely obeys the orders of Augustus.

What made Augustus heave a sigh of relief was that the Umoyan Council never sent another general to compete with him for the command of the troops, otherwise he would have some headaches.

What made Augustus even more satisfied was that although the Hyperion looked tattered due to the hasty repair time, in general, she could at least fly.

About 70.00% of Hyperion's other systems and compartments, except for the engine, life, and gravity support system, are not functioning normally. Even the laser gun group can only fire on one side, because other weapons Umoyan engineers have not yet repaired. .

Surrounded by Umoyan officers, Raynor and others, Augustus enjoyed the treatment of a head of state and visited the interior of the Hyperion.Although the corridor inside the battlecruiser is still not that wide, it can always accommodate two marines walking side by side.

All passages are designed to save space as much as possible to build more storage compartments and make room for necessary components like weapons, living and computer systems.

The ground and walls of the passageway inside the ship are painted with white paint to outline direction arrows and safety and warning signs. The decks on each floor are quite empty and tidy. The empty hangar also shows that this battleship lacks the necessary fighter plane cover.

"When you walk here, do you feel familiar?" Augustus asked Jim Raynor next to him.

"Well, it looks like I was born to dominate this ship, but I don't think I have saved enough money in my life to buy a taillight on the Hyperion." Renault spread his hands and said.

"Looks like I'm the only one in the dark," Tychus said, smoking a cigarette. "I usually call anyone who can afford a boat like this my brother."

"With this ship, we're one step closer to defeating the corrupt federal government and saving more lives!" Kerrigan clenched her fist.

"Oh—I have to tell you, it's not the same thing," Tychus said to Kerrigan. "You can't live comfortably if you don't care about other people's lives, and stay farther and farther away from trouble!"

"Hey, boss, you must have made a fortune." At this moment, Rory Swan, the chief engineer of Augustus, came over.

"It will cost a lot of money to modify this ship to your specifications," he said.

"Are you rich this time?"

As long as Augustus's subordinates have to continue to fight on the Hyperion, they will have to keep repairing this Behemoth (Behemoth-class) battlecruiser that seems to be falling apart at any time.

Although the Behemoth-class battlecruiser was a well-deserved capital ship in the Battle of Kailian, as the war progressed, new designs and weapon systems continued to appear and be added to the newly built battlecruisers. Lian has gradually fallen behind the times.
