Chapter 243 Tyrador III
Tyrador III is the second destination of Augustus' trip to the Tyrador system, which is the third planet in the system and one of three worlds that can support life.

The shuttle that Augustus was on was entering the gravitational field of the planet Tyrador III and was going around the synchronous orbit of the planet, preparing to enter the dense atmosphere of this planet.

This butterfly-shaped shuttle painted in bright blue has a pair of symmetrical narrow triangular auxiliary wings, and three sets of plasma thrusters can ensure that the spacecraft has enough power and endurance to shuttle between the surface of the planet and outer space. The micro-warp engine is also capable of supporting several short-distance jumps across the galaxy.

This shuttle is manufactured from the famous Tarsonis Bennett Orbital Shipyard. It can carry up to 20 people and cargo of equal weight. It is the most commonly used shuttle for federal merchants to travel.Augustus took only Raynor, Harnack, and an elite guard of Corporal Faraday's squad this time.

It was piloted by a Revolutionary Navy captain who had been a seasoned cargo mooring driver.Just like many Keha youths who joined the army with great enthusiasm, this docking pilot still shines in his best field, and his main job is to set up supply ships to and from the planetary supply station - Star Port - between fleets.

After the Battle of Tarsonis, the supply pilot was awarded a Sir Kehayin Medal for driving the spaceship through various dangerous interstellar battlefields many times, and was awarded the honor of driving the spaceship for the Marshal.

On the control panel in front of Augustus's seat, a blue and green planet is being projected on a screen composed of holographic projections.

The natural environment of Tyrador III is far from the beautiful natural scenery of the other two sister galaxies orbiting each other.The ratio of heavy carbon dioxide and methane in the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere of this planet is higher than that of ordinary planets, which not only makes this atmosphere well able to insulate the excessive radiation that it receives due to its closer distance from the star, but also creates space for Tyrador III. A hot, humid world with many hurricanes came out.

The origin of life on this planet comes from a comet carrying organic microorganisms, and its life forms have shown surging development and vitality in the natural evolution of tens of billions of years.

Before millions of years were recorded, Tyrador III was also a beautiful planet full of life. The rapid change of life forms made this planet evolve terrestrial and marine populations with very different forms.

However, the extreme hurricane weather, tsunami, geological movement or climate change in Tyrador III can destroy the paleontological group of an entire era in an instant, and then the few surviving species will be extremely large on several chronological scales. Fast speed re-rules land and sea.

Since the city established by the last colonists who migrated to Tyrador III was destroyed by a terrible tsunami decades ago, the officials of the Federal Immigration Service and the Central Security Bureau had to reconsider recolonizing this planet possible.Because the interval between super natural disasters that are enough to destroy a civilization can be as long as several million years, and the minimum can not exceed a few years.

It's just that the fossils and living biological races on it make it a treasure trove for studying species evolution and genetic diversity, which makes Tyrador's extremely changeable climate unsuitable for a stable and large-scale colonial federation Territory, but there are a large number of biological research stations and federal research facilities.

Today, the colonists of the Federation are still considering completely changing the natural environment of Tyrador III through a long process of earth transformation to make it more suitable for human survival, but this proposal is considered to destroy more than 95% of the planet. The native life form has been strongly opposed by the Koprulu Humane Society.

And with the outbreak of the Kailian War, this matter will eventually come to an end. After all, the Tyranid Federation does not lack habitable planets, and the Tyrador galaxy is extremely rare to have three.

The vast majority of Tyrador III's population lives in a huge circular orbital city that can accommodate millions of people. It's just the person Augustus is looking for - Aegon, the chief scientist of Renault Rangers. Stetman is not in the orbital city, but in a small town on the surface of Tyrador III.

"How does it feel to be on a shuttle? I hear you've never been in space." Augustus sat with Kerrigan and a young Matt Horner.Sarah Kerrigan's complexion is much better than that of two years ago, and her high fiery red hair and rosy face also add a bit of mature charm.

Everyone in the Marshal's headquarters knew that Marshal Augustus loved this 15-year-old boy very much and cultivated him to the utmost.

Matt was wearing a dark gray sailor's uniform and a Revolutionary army cap given to him by Augustus.After generations of the Horner family talked and even quarreled, they finally decided to send Matt into the Revolutionary Army.

Aside from Matt's resolute attitude, the Horners believed that following a man like Augustus was an absolutely glorious and open path—albeit with an enigmatic confidence that surprised Augustus.If it weren't for the fact that the Horner family had no daughter, Augustus might not have gotten away so easily.

"I feel good, Marshal Augustus." Matt's expression was quite excited: "I feel great."

"That's good. Most people who grew up in the gravitational field of the planet are not very comfortable with the space environment for the first time. There will always be some unlucky guys who will vomit and diarrhea." Augustus looked at Matt.

"I can't believe you are still here with us, you are still a child after all in the eyes of many people," he said.

"Because this might be my only chance to get out of Tyrador IX," Matt said. It will take many more years.”

"Very well, as long as you don't regret it, I have no problem here." Augustus said to Matt.

"Matt, I thought we might have to make a trip in vain, after all, you are still too young." Jim Raynor, sitting in the back row, said.

"Son, I still have to remind you. In our revolutionary army, many people were full of ambitions before joining the army, but they regretted it the moment they walked into the barracks or stepped into the battlefield. Maybe some people still think that The revolutionary army is nothing but a mob of peasant uprisings, but what awaits these people is the punishment of deserters." He reminded the young man in front of him who could only be called a big boy in Tyrador with a serious expression.

"Don't scare Matt, or I can only count on Harnack to sail for me." Augustus laughed.

"I've never driven a boat, but I've driven a vulture." Harnack next to Renault said immediately when Augustus mentioned him.

"But I don't think it's a big deal, I can do it myself."

"Marshal, I will never be a deserter." Matt said in awe: "I came here to become the most heroic revolutionary soldier, and I am ready to sacrifice for it at any time."

"I don't need you to sacrifice, Matt, I never doubt that you will become a general or even a marshal in the future." Augustus said with a smile.

Matt was taken aback by Augustus' words, a possibility he had clearly never considered.In contrast, Matt believes that his greatest achievement in life may be to be a full-time driver for Augustus.

"I never thought I'd be a general," Matt said.

"Then now you have to take this as your ideal." Augustus put away his smile and said, "Next, I will arrange for you to serve as an apprentice sailor on the Hyperion. After a period of time, you may be arranged to By the side of Captain Renault, learn from his first mate and executive commander the piloting and day-to-day management of a battleship."

"Once the time is right, I will send you to Umoyan Capital University. After you have completed two to three years of study, I will relocate you and place you on board one of the battlecruisers in my fleet." long."

"Yes, sir," Matt said seriously.

Augustus patted Matt on the shoulder from behind, obviously very close to the boy, but Matt still sat upright, acting quite tense.Matt still needs a lot of time to adapt to the change of identity. The age and status gap cannot allow him to regard Augustus as a close friend or brother. He always respects and fears this great leader of the Revolutionary Army.

At this time, the shuttle that Augustus was on had passed through the atmosphere of Tyrador III, and landed on a mooring platform made of steel in the northern hemisphere after a burst of turbulence.

The landing site is located between a low-lying swamp, and further away are forests and small lakes dotted with dots. A large number of strange and colorful creatures breed in the wet swamp, and the sky is full of flying creatures similar to small pterosaurs.The footprints of huge creatures can still be vaguely seen on the ground, and there are large groups of small colorful lizards with webbed feet running past in the muddy swamp.

This mooring platform was built in the early colonial era and has been abandoned for quite some time.Faded cordons and whitewashed warning signs still remain on the already rusted mooring platforms.There is filth, mud and abandoned machinery everywhere, but no trace of human activity can be seen.

The current Tyrador III is in an extremely warm era, with lush forests covering 70% of the land, and the types of life are showing a blowout explosion.A considerable part of the local biome comes from the cold-blooded creatures and mammals brought by humans, and they have evolved on this planet far faster than their original origin.

In just over 100 years, the small lizards originally brought as pets by the first colonists have grown twenty-fold in size and evolved into hundreds of regional subspecies, which is amazing.This is a paradise for biologists. The most famous universities and scientific research institutions in the Koprulu star region have established research institutions in Tyrador.

In addition to the extremely rich and diverse biota and the extremely fast evolution rate of Tyrador III, which are of great research value, the remains of lost civilizations buried in thick geological layers are also one of the reasons why there are so many scientific research stations on this planet. .

A lot of evidence shows that the planets in the Tyrador galaxy—even more than three colonable planets have a large number of ancient civilization relics, and huge dark green crystal pillars are all over the underground caves, used for The huge temple where the gods sing praises seems to have reached the pinnacle of art and aesthetics that human beings can imagine.

A considerable number of extraterrestrial occultists believe that this was once the home world of an ancient civilization that had developed to the age of interstellar travel and colonized most of the planets in this galaxy.They can even modify a dead rocky planet to have a complete atmosphere and biosphere, which may be the reason why there are so many habitable planets in the Tyrador galaxy.

1000 years or more ago, this ancient civilization abandoned or temporarily left their homeland for unknown reasons, and then humans discovered this galaxy and began to implement colonization policies.

Apart from the surviving early immigrants and the local residents of the second to third small-scale immigrants, the people who are still staying on Tyrador III are all elite scientists from the colonies of the federal alliance.On the surface of the planet, there are even more scientific institutions than half-dome huts of the local inhabitants.

Augustus walked off the shuttle with a dozen Revolutionary Army guards armed with live ammunition, and ordered Corporal Faraday to take people to confirm the surrounding situation.

Because the oxygen content in the air of Tyrador III is higher than that of ordinary terrestrial planets, under the order of Augustus, everyone began to wear auxiliary ventilators.Although it is not impossible to breathe, outsiders who stay in such an environment for a long time are likely to experience a drunken oxygen reaction.

"There's not even a single person here." Reynolds put on an auxiliary ventilator: "But I think we're just here to find dinosaurs, thanks to the high oxygen content here, there are also many giant insects in Tyrador Killing. I hear the zerg are constantly looting the genes of other races in the galaxy, and they might like it here."

When Lei Nuo was speaking, a foot-long blood-sucking insect was flying past them, and was burned to ashes by a Marshal's guard using the Umoyan plasma flame gun in a blink of an eye.It is hard to imagine how the local residents survived on a planet full of poisonous insects and large predators.

"I don't want the zerg to invade the Tyrador galaxy one day." Augustus said: "What happened to Cha Sara proves that the zerg can only bring destruction."

Augustus recently received a report from the Mar Sara Revolutionary Army. They reported that Cha Sara's Zerg invasion had not been contained, and the number of them was only tens of thousands, which was obviously outnumbered compared to the huge number of Zerg swarms.At present, the zerg creep has covered the entire sub-continent and the vast ocean, but the federal fleet that came to support has never heard of it.

It is Cha Sara’s militia and planetary defense forces who are still resisting the Zerg invasion, and if the Federation does not take resolute and decisive measures, then no matter how they block the news, it will be useless. Sooner or later, everyone in the Federation will know What exactly happened in the Sara galaxy will cause tens of billions of people to panic and distrust the federal government and the military.

The commander of the Revolutionary Army in Mar Sara named the swarm that invaded the Sara system the Jormungandr Swarm because of the large number of Hydra Hydralisks among them, and this snake-like creature reminds humans of In the Norse mythology, the serpent entwined and entangled in the world.
