Chapter 253 Psionic Launcher

"I haven't tested it. Scientific experiments are rigorous." Dr. Francos knew that Renault thought he was joking.

But he's really not joking.

"Maybe there's something in the lemon juice that displeases the springtails." To the amazement of both Francois and Renaud, Augustus apparently agreed.

"Continuing research in this direction, the zerg are not perfect creatures, and they certainly have flaws."

"Even if that's true, they're unlikely to see the lemon juice and die or run away, which is what we want," Reynolds said.

"I will start arranging this project." Dr. Francois led Augustus to the depths of the scientific research laboratory at this time: "Next, I will show you the soldiers from Los Andares. The monsters brought back, some monsters are what our fighters should pay special attention to when fighting Zerg. In addition, I must show you a new weapon found in the Cha Sara federal base."

"Humans have heavy artillery that can penetrate the chitinous carapace of the Zerg and power armor that is strong enough to resist fangs and claws, and infection and mutation are the real invisible enemies."

As they continued to go deeper, some creatures that were far more terrifying than the previous dead suddenly came into view:

A canine monster being locked in an electrified iron cage - it's clearly not a springtail, and the faint blond hair on its body and the ears that stick out of its head all indicate that it was originally Los Andares The resident's pet, a golden retriever dog who used to guard the house for the farmer.

Now, the whole body of this sad beast has undergone terrifying mutations.It became even bigger and stronger, its raised back was more than six feet long, and there were pairs of spines and protruding bony spurs on the unnaturally raised back.

This monstrous creature is covered with cracked carapaces and savagely growing spikes, and its hairy feet are now wrapped with multiple pairs of shrinking bony claws, which are too long and sharp compared with the past. so that the protruding part pierced into the tissues of its limbs.

These pains are enough to make it difficult for a sentient creature to move, but it is already standing like a lion looking up at its territory, and from time to time it makes a deformed barking roar.

"As long as it is a living thing, the Zerg will always come." Dr. Frankos said as he walked, "Dogs, cats, birds, and even creatures in the water are either swallowed by the Zerg or transformed into twisted and deformed monsters. Maybe The zerg want to find some redundant parts of the genes of these creatures, maybe just to assimilate other species."

"The Zerg researchers of the Federation have been recording the characteristics of the Zerg they found, and found that the Zerg that appeared every once in a while is different from the first discovered individual, and the new individual either has a more efficient viscera. organs and muscles, or a stronger carapace."

"It is foreseeable that the Zerg will continue to evolve. In the end, after an infinitely long time, only the Zerg is left in this universe, and their shape has reached what organic life can achieve. Reach the peak and become the ultimate master of the universe."

"Why did they come to the Koprulu sector?" Raynor asked the doctor.

"Eating everything." Francos said: "Zergs are locusts in the universe. They are constantly devouring other races that are considered valuable in order to continuously optimize their genes. Yes, the splendor of civilizations and races in this universe may be far beyond human imagination. We are just frogs in a well."

"Humans are just on the way of the Zerg's hunting, or the star area we are in is very unlucky in the Zerg's hunting ground."

"The result is that you can only consider yourself unlucky?" Raynor said, "How many such zergs are there, and how many groups like Yermungandr are there? I'm really afraid that there are more bugs than germs in the universe."

"Now, these are unknown to us." Francos said: "With luck, the zerg will not care too much about the existence of humans, because we have nothing but developed brains, and the zerg don't need it." A thinking brain, this is probably a Gestalt race with only one thinking brain."

"Who controls the Jormungandr swarm, and by what means?" Augustus asked.

"Don't know, maybe all the zerg are extensions of the same overall will." Dr. Francos said: "But I can probably figure out how they coordinate the timing of attacks and communication-psychic energy. Most zerg There is no psionic power found on its body, but the king worm has obvious psionic power, and its intelligence far exceeds its peers."

"This may be the reason why the Hydra Hydralisks lost control at Umoyan Cyberus Research Station. They are extremely sensitive to psionic energy." He said: "Psionic energy is a beam of extreme darkness for Zerg. Light is like oil to mice."

"When psykers or Federation ghosts appear on the battlefield, the zerg will go crazy without exception. When human psykers release their psionic signals, it is equivalent to being in a sea full of sharks A drop of blood fell into it."

"We got the file cabinet in the Federal Zerg laboratory, and the files in it show that the Tyranid Federation is using the attraction of psionic energy to the Zerg to create a weapon."

"They want to use bugs against us?" Renault said in surprise, "Did the Federation prepare to do that as early as 2485 years ago? But Augustus was still in high school at that time."

"Maybe it's not just like that." Augustus said at this time: "The Federation must have discovered the protoss a long time ago."

"Doctor, what's the name of this weapon, how does it work, and has the Federation developed a prototype weapon." Augustus hadn't had time to read the report submitted by the Revolutionary Army's alien laboratory after Cha Sara's evacuation.

"The research and development personnel of the Federation named this weapon a psionic energy launcher. As the name suggests, it emits a psionic energy signal. It is like firing an extremely bright, long-burning flare in a dark universe without any light. "

"The Hydra Hydralisk can sense human psykers at a distance of about five yards, and the Federation's method of use is also very simple." Frankos finally brought Augustus and others to a prototype weapon platform.

This prototype weapon seems to be just a boxy black box. The box is closed with a simple lock, and there are many pairs of signal lights with unknown purposes outside.

"Just like I amplify the sound, the psionic voice can also be amplified, because it is a signal of another wavelength." He said.

"As long as this signal is continuously amplified, then for the Zerg, the distance is no longer as simple as 5 yards."

"Instead of 25 light-years."
