StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 535 The Importance of Artifacts

The Royal Scientific Research Center is a multi-storey steel structure composite structure. The various laboratories, analysis platforms, control centers, and security centers connected by thousands of corridors and airlocks are like a huge palace made of steel.

The scientific research center is more than just a scientific research building. In addition to the necessary living facilities, high-standard restaurants, opera houses, bars and even swimming pools are all available.As always, Emperor Augustus fulfilled the promise he had made to the scientists in his invitation.

Knowing the importance of the Xel'Naga artifact, Herek Branamur hurriedly walked towards the inner elevator entrance, while frequently nodding to the passing researchers of the scientific research center.

At this time, the passage leading to the hangar on the top floor was lit with red lights, and unauthorized personnel were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. Violators could be executed in the worst case.

This is a rare and common thing in the scientific research center. Due to the special function and purpose of the building, there will be special planes delivering precious goods to arrive every day.Most of the goods are alien creatures used for research and experiments, protoss relics unearthed, or relics of Sarnaga. In the past, bear-toothed beasts, cara beasts, blue-crowned deer and A large number of living creatures such as heterotail scorpions are not uncommon in the Royal Scientific Research Center.

Emperor Augustus had high hopes for the Royal Academy of Sciences and its affiliated scientific research centers. They were equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and experimental specimens, and the researchers were treated so generously that they had never seen before.

To put it bluntly, the emperor hoped that this top scientific research institution, which was established with a lot of money and national resources, would produce something.

Scientists have taken inspiration from Ultralisk's massive bone plates to upgrade the armor of battleships and vehicles.Stealing the advanced resource collection technology of the protoss can be applied to the empire's mines and gas refineries.Since UED brought nanotechnology to the earth, nano-recycled steel has also emerged, and it has been used in warship construction and medical treatment
The Emperor pointed out: Technology is the primary productive force.In addition to being applied to the military, the progress of science and technology will also involve the fields of people's livelihood such as medical care and agriculture.Improve people's livelihood and benefit mankind.

Branamoor is the supervisor and person in charge of the scientific research center, and he knows the burden on his shoulders.Since the emperor called Branamur in front of him, they provoked and bathed three times, treated them with courtesy, and bluntly said that science places the hope of protecting the future of mankind. They are the fearless pioneers on the edge of this terrifying, greedy, evil and dangerous universe.

Since then, Branamur has regarded the fulfillment of the emperor's great vision as his sacred mission.

There were very few people who could enter the top floor. When he got out of the elevator, Branamour could only barely recognize a few experts who studied Nagar's technology.There may also be people who work in psychology, which is also a new discipline.

Psychology is related to psychology, but is much more mysterious because it is studied by specialists with telepathic abilities.High-level psykers who are proficient in telepathy can even kill silently through mental pressure, such as creating a seamless suicide.

Branamoor didn't know much about these people, and he'd heard that they could take control of your bladder and make it incontinent, embarrassing you in public.

Gradually, the closer Branamur got to the top hangar, the more and more imperial soldiers in the aisle.The security department of the scientific research center is not a security guard hired by the people, but a genuine Imperial Royal Guard.Each of the Royal Guards is a battle-hardened veteran who carried a gun with Emperor Augustus during the Revolution.

"Hello, Chairman Branamour." A scientist with a white beard came from the other side, followed by an AI-controlled Widow Ray.

"Hello, Daniel Rothfuss."

When Branamoore saw this blade-like mechanical foot on the ground swiftly like the wind, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.Although this is just a mechanical pet, it is not loaded with small Sentinel missiles.

As far as he knows, Daniel is an expert in computer information engineering and an outstanding astrophysicist. He is responsible for the network security work and AI programming of the scientific research center.

Although Daniel never mentioned his past experience, and his files were so high that even the director of the scientific research center could not access them, Branamoor believed that the other party might be a person from Earth.

After the defeat of the UED expeditionary force, the surviving members of the expeditionary force had only two options, either to join the empire, or to spend the rest of their lives in a closed prison world.

Realizing that the hope of returning to Earth is extremely slim, many UED soldiers and scientists believe that Earth has betrayed and abandoned them, so they are determined to serve the rulers of Tyrannic humans.

"Dan, I heard that you have recently been engaged in the reprogramming of the mechanical adjutant's intelligence program. How is the progress?" Branamoor looked at the Widow Ray, who was about five feet taller.

Branamoor didn't know how much Daniel knew about the inside story of the Xel'Naga artifact.The email notifications about the artifacts were all issued by the Palace Office, and he had no right to ask, nor would he know more than others.Therefore, he didn't ask too much.

"I have to say that the old federal adjutant is full of loopholes. For example, it's like using a basket to hold water." Daniel sighed:

"From this point of view, even the third-rate decryption experts in the garbage dump can decipher this metal waste. The Federation is simply wearing gold and silver jewelry and running naked in front of the robbers."

"At least in the eyes of us laymen, the security level of the Federation is still reliable." Branamur let out a dry laugh.

The computer security system of the Tyranid Federation may indeed be a joke in the eyes of the UED. No one knows whether the people on Earth have been running wildly for more than 200 years in a field that the Tyranids are completely unaware of.

"In terms of AI, Protoss and Umoyan are doing much better. Machines can accept many times more instructions than humans, and neither the speed nor the reliability are at the same level." Daniel go on:
"And the mission the emperor entrusted to me is to make his mechanical adjutant smarter, but not too smart."

However, although the identity of Dr. Daniel always made Branamur doubtful, it did not prevent the two of them from becoming friends.Daniel is very talkative, and his words show his wise cognition and thinking about the world.

With that said, Branamur and Daniel had arrived at the top-floor hangar with heavy troops. Next to the hangar was a temporary warehouse for storing experimental materials, and above it was the parking platform protected by the force field of the energy shield.

This huge circular flat-roofed building has a huge helipad, with electromagnetically accelerated ejection and interception tracks, it is enough to take off and land a Hercules-class transport ship.The hangar under the apron is even larger, filled with military transport ships and low-Earth orbit shuttles.Soldiers with live ammunition and automatic turrets are everywhere, which shows how much the empire attaches importance to the Sarnaga artifact.

About a dozen Imperial scientists in white uniforms are waiting here.By this time, it was the elite of the elite who could come here.Each of them is a top scientist in cutting-edge fields such as Tyrannian alien biology research, biomaterials, astrophysics, and nanomedicine. They are master figures and shining stars in their respective fields.

When they received the invitation letter from the emperor, they might have attended courses in Tarsonis University and other top institutions of higher learning known in Koplu, and all of them were masters.

"Hi, Mr. Branamoor, good morning." A short man in a white coat came over, his face full of embarrassment that looked too young.In fact, Dr. Egon Stetman has just bit his tongue in the excitement of trying to get noticed.

"It's night, boy," Dr. Daniel pointed out.

"Ah, I didn't notice. I must have forgotten about it. Because of those harvesting robots, I hardly slept these days." Stetmann opened his mouth and looked at Branamu in a daze. you:

"You don't mind, do you?"

"How could it be? It's inevitable that black and white will be reversed in this dark place. You don't have to worry about it. Dr. Stetman, didn't you worry too much about that brain bug in the basement?" Branamoor didn't dare to neglect.

Egon Stetmann, who studied under Franks, was an authority on xenomorphs, although he was underage, perhaps not even fourteen.

The most important thing is that Stetman may not be aware of this at all. Just looking at the degree of inclination of his research resources and other named cares, Emperor Augustus is simply raising him as his son.

In all fairness, Egon Stetmann is a real genius.As early as two years ago, Stetman was able to assemble the robot using discarded parts from the garbage dump in Port of the Dead.Now, besides feeding the brainworms in the basement of the scientific research center, Stetmann is also engaged in research related to intelligent machines.

The ground floor of the scientific research center is an engineering station, an armory, and an automated heavy factory that produces intelligent machines.Dr. Egon Stetmann's work is related to intelligent machines, such as his crowning achievement is a dangerous mechanical cassowary.I believe that it won't be long before Stetmann will be able to build his own mechanical Hydralisk.

"Oh—that pig can always give me new tricks. When I mention it, I am so angry." Stetmann immediately complained loudly: "The last time it developed a card game for the virtual diva It cost a total of 100 million, who knows how I got here in those days."

"When the matter was revealed, it actually said that it was just a bug after all, what bad things could it do. At this time, it finally remembered that it was a bug." He roared:

"What hope can I expect from a brain worm who can only use his psychic abilities to play tricks?"

In fact, according to the concept of brain worms, human beings are considered worms.However, the domesticated brain worms of the empire are brain worms who only know the times and know how to advance and retreat.

"Doctor, you must have wasted a lot of energy." Branamoor patted Stetmann, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

The empire's domestic cerebrate is only one and a half years old, and it is true that it is just like a child.However, the cunning of brain worms is by no means inferior to that of human beings, and only people like Stetman with equally novel brain circuits can handle it.

"The emperor has arrived." The first to arrive was the special plane of the emperor.

The emperor had just returned to Augustograd for a few days, and was so busy rebuilding Keha and establishing the empire that he even squeezed out time on the schedule for the Xel'Naga artifact.

It turned out that Branamur thought that it might be Prince Arcturus who came, after all, the latter had come to the Royal Scientific Research Center many times to supervise.

"Thanks for your hard work." The emperor was still wearing military uniform when he got off the special plane, and he did not forget to salute the soldiers and scientists as he walked.As in the past, Her Majesty Queen Kerrigan always followed her husband.

An hour ago, Augustus had just reviewed the imperial army on the Red Star Square in Augustegrad.This grand military parade was huge in scale and took a whole day to complete.

"Herek, I have brought the Xel'Naga artifact fragments. Two of them are for research, and the others are to be sealed elsewhere." Augustus raised his head and gestured, and the four royals in golden-red power armor The guards walked off the transport ship carrying a sarcophagus that exuded blue copper light.

"Be careful, the Xel'Naga artifact is not an ordinary Xel'Naga relic."

"The assembled Xel'Naga Artifact is a key together with the Void, that is to say, it is Pandora's Box." He warned Branamur and other scientists:
"Don't believe any sights you've seen in the illusion, and don't trust any voices you've heard. If you notice something wrong with your mental state, report it to your psychiatrist and spiritual expert immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Branamur and the other scientists around immediately bowed their heads.

"The Xel'Naga artifact contains unimaginable energy, and if used properly, it is the most terrifying weapon in this universe." Augustus finally said.

These are all what Narud told Augustus-of course, this part of the information is basically true.To deceive people, it is best to weave only one lie out of countless truths.

Augustus knew that the Xel'Naga Artifact was not just a weapon, or in other words, it was not a weapon from the beginning of its design.

For Naganaga, information, energy and will are all one, that is to say, they can transform entities into energy and energy into will.Everything in the universe, essence, matter, spirit, everything can be transformed.

In other words, the Xel'Naga artifact is theoretically omnipotent and has infinite possibilities.This is the artifact.

In the Wings of Liberty campaign, Narud only slightly modified the xel'naga artifact, allowing it to destroy the zerg directly from the DNA level.It was just because Narud hoped that the Tyranid Empire would regard the Xel'Naga artifact as a weapon, ignoring its original purpose.

It is also with the help of the Xel'Naga artifact that the Queen of Blades can be transformed into a human again.

For Augustus, there is no need for him to use the Xel'Naga artifact.But the Xel'Naga artifact is indeed an artifact against Zerg, and it can be used as a contingency.

Xel'Naga has transformed Zerg and also transformed Protoss. Since Nova Impact can deal with Zerg, it can also deal with Protoss in design. (Refer to the words of Narud in the official book "Flashpoint Moment": Xel'Naga has modified the life forms of Protoss and Zerg on a large scale. For them, something that can destroy their DNA is of course a weapon. )
"You only need to get even a little enlightenment from the Sarnaga artifact, and mankind will benefit endlessly." Augustus told the scientists.

Augustus didn't expect these scientists to be able to study and understand the Xel'Naga artifacts, as long as they knew a little bit, it was enough.

"For your expectations, we will spend our entire lives." Branamoor knew the weight of the emperor's words, and made up his mind immediately.

"Okay, now take me to Tosh." Augustus finally said:

"There is still an account to be settled between me and him."
