StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 580 Dog Emperor

"Why do you want me to test weapons? If you need someone to pull the trigger, then the Augustgrad Palace is everywhere." The cerebrum couldn't help but lowered its stance because it didn't understand.

The cerebrum full of suspicion smelled something wrong, and couldn't find out why it was so.However, even though it has extremely powerful telepathic ability, it is extremely difficult to figure out what Augustus is thinking.

There is only one thing that the brainworm is sure of, and that is that this black-bellied guy has absolutely no good intentions.

Augustus Mengsk knows how to hide his thoughts when facing telepaths. This must be a skill he has learned from getting along with Sarah Kerrigan and the protoss, and even the powerful psychic It is also difficult for the brain worm to guess his thoughts.

So the brainworm stretched its neck and looked at the Xel'Naga artifact quietly floating in the three-dimensional device. The assembled black triangular prism was emitting a bright copper-blue light.

Its natural keen perception makes it stay away from the Xel'Naga artifacts. In human terms, this thing is quite evil even for Zerg.The Xel'Naga artifact can absorb the energy of the Protoss and the Zerg. For the person who made it, grinding the Protoss and the Zerg into powder and converting it into pure energy is as simple as taking a nap.

Neither humans nor protoss can understand the height reached by Xel'Naga, and can only exclaim as a miracle.In other words, even if a pig sees a slaughterhouse rising from the ground, it has no way of understanding that it is for killing pigs.

"Speak!" Seeing that Augustus did not answer for a long time, the cerebrum was a little scared: "Why don't you speak!"

"Don't be afraid." Renault laughed first, he probably guessed what Augustus wanted to do.

"You'll find out soon," was all Augustus replied.

He was gearing up, trying to verify the power of the Naganaga artifact.If the Xel'Naga artifact can purify the brain worms, then it must also be effective against Juggernaut.Raise insects for a thousand days, use them for a while.

"My psychic intuition tells me that this is definitely not a good thing." The cerebrate's triangular-shaped bright red eyes flickered, already looking for a way out: "Sorry, let me refuse."

"I'm not asking for your opinion, nor discussing with you." The emperor showed his sinister face, and immediately recruited four royal guards to follow him, and asked them to work together to get the brain worm out.

"Grab it."

"What are you doing?" Despite its fat body and slow movements, this cerebrum was surprisingly strong, and its skin was as smooth as a mirror, which was extremely difficult to grasp. It slipped out of the hands of the royal guards in no time.

Next, the scientists in the laboratory saw a strange scene, that is, a fat big white worm was nimbly moving around in the crowd, extremely slippery.After a rush of salted fish, the brain worm almost ran out of the laboratory door.

But after a while, the cerebrate was still pressed to the ground by those macho royal guards whose muscles were as hard as granite.This big fat white worm was trampled on its tail, and its upper body was still twitching at a ghostly frequency, like a fish jumping desperately on the shore.

"Excuse me, please cooperate with our work." Not to mention, even a large group of royal guards can hold this guy down.

"Augustus Mengsk! You are not as good as a beast!" The cerebrate twitched and howled: "You are killing a donkey!"

"Your Majesty. Cerebral worms are valuable assets of the empire after all. Wouldn't it be a good idea to do so?" Dr. Narud is so smart that he has already seen Augustus' thoughts.

Perhaps the Xel'Naga Artifact can indeed effectively kill Zerg on a large scale through Nova Impact as he said, and this effect can also be achieved by the Psychic Crusher, but the emperor also hopes that the Artifact can kill high-level zerg with psionic power insect.

"What are you going to do!" the brain worm scowled.Feeling the conscience, it has been a little carried away recently, and it is not impossible for the stupid Augustus Mengsk to take the opportunity to retaliate, which is indeed his favorite thing to do.

"Tell it, Mr. Stetman." Augustus looked at the hiding Dr. Egon Stetman, who was holding a data panel and watching from afar.

Stetmann was very happy to hear that the emperor called himself "Sir" in a "respectful" way, and even said it silently twice.Obviously, the young scientist cares more about the approval of others than the life and death of his cerebrate friends.

"Hmm." The happy Stetmann cleared his throat, but did not answer immediately.

"What are you humming?" Cerebral Worm narrowed his eyes.In fact, this evil bad thing has no good qualities, and it can't help but think that when it escapes, it must dip Stetman in sauce and eat it whole in revenge.

"Are you in it too, Aegon?"

"I objected." Although Stetman liked to boast, he was honest.

"It's very simple, Your Majesty, well, Your Majesty needs you to test the power of switching the Sarnaga artifact to weapon mode." Stetman felt sincere joy and pride for this discovery:
"We speculate that it can release a powerful subsonic shock wave that can kill hundreds of zerg in the blink of an eye. To test the power, you must use live zerg of all strains and even buildings sample."

"Cooperating with you, you are using me as a target." The cerebrum was furious: "Is this something that humans can do? It violates human rights!"

"This is so inhumane!"

It could easily read Egon Stetmann's mind.Although Stetman was a very intelligent human being, his brain was defenseless against powerful telepaths.If the ideological barriers of Augustus are solid walls, then Stetmann's is a sieve full of holes.

Even so, it was not so afraid in its heart. After all, Augustus couldn't really kill a useful brain worm.

But when it comes to weapons experiments, those who shoot cannons are very happy, but those who are bombed don't think so.

"I didn't ask for your opinion on this matter." Augustus wanted to enumerate the many crimes of cerebrates in the palace, but felt ashamed: "I told you earlier, you should restrain yourself, don't think I can't deal with it you."

"Isn't it just eating a few bulldogs raised by Edmund Duke? What is this? It seems that I am not as good as a dog in your eyes!" The brain worm thought for a while and said:

"They came into my stomach by themselves, and I am innocent."

"I said that old guy Duke jumped up and down like a monkey in a hurry, and refused to tell him what happened when he was asked." Renault suddenly realized.

Dr. Narud on the side was also lost in thought, as if he was greatly shocked by the strange words and deeds of this brain worm.At least, when the master created the brain worm, he would never add the gene of the living treasure.

The master created the cerebrates, and the new cerebrates are just a blank sheet of paper in terms of personality, and they often obey the orders of the older and more powerful cerebrates.God knows what it has learned from humans, so that it has become a ghost.

Guess it must have been too long with Egon Stetmans and the like.

Narud was shocked.

"." Augustus just stared at the brain worm without speaking, to see how it would explode.

"Who can tell? I guess you are jealous of me, because those court maids like me so much, but you can't see it." The brain worm thought about it again.

"You bastard." Augustus blushed, "Drag out."

The face is gone.

"I'm right!" Before being dragged out, the cerebrate was still shouting.

"Go to the experiment site." The emperor glared at the laughing Renault: "Faraday, prepare the boat."

"Hey, we all know you don't dare. Forgive me, I haven't smiled so happily in a while." Renault put away his smile: "It's not something to be ashamed of, I heard the sound of two mice fighting in the palace Queen You can hear it, how dare you use your brain."

"I can hear your laughter clearly." Augustus shrugged his shoulders at this moment: "This is not a very happy thing, Jimmy, you know, enough damn emperor jokes It's gone."

There is a prototype weapons laboratory in August Grad, which is claimed to be the Simonson Munitions Factory (Simonson Munitions Factory), but it is actually a secret prototype weapons laboratory.

From the outside, the Simonson Armory is a huge building made of reinforced concrete and alloys, with huge gates leading to heavily guarded warehouses.This is one of the most heavily guarded areas in August Grad, and more than one Umoyan agent tried to pry open Simonsen's gate to steal confidential information.

On this day, the atmosphere of the heavily fortified Simonsen Arsenal was more dignified than in the past. Imperial soldiers in red power armor blocked all traffic arteries, and even those who wanted to walk in and take a look would be taken away immediately for interrogation.

When Augustus's connecting plane arrived on the tarmac at the Simonsen Arsenal, he was immediately ushered into the prototype weapons testing room.

The test site was a huge empty chamber big enough to hold twenty Odins. The straight walls were two hundred feet high, and the top was a huge dome supported by nanomaterials.At the bottom of the wall are multiple gates connected to high-voltage electricity, and each gate leads to a beast pen full of living zerg.

Of course, Augustus did not have to enter the test site, but watched the whole process directly in the monitoring center.Although Dr. Narud believes that the Nova Impact of the Xel'Naga Artifact will not have any impact on humans, Augustus' minions will not take it lightly.

Under the watchful eyes of Augustus, Raynor, and Narud, the Xel'Naga artifact was placed in the center of the weapons testing ground.After debugging, the artifact has entered the working state, and the copper-blue light on the surface shines more and more.

"Doctor, where does the energy of the Xel'Naga artifact come from? It has neither a reactor nor a single boiler." Augustus acted stupid on purpose.

"Hehe, the artifact itself stores a certain amount of energy, which is enough for us to release multiple nova impacts, but it needs to be recharged after use." The grey-haired and well-dressed scientist couldn't help but smile.

"If the Xel'Naga artifact cannot replenish energy, then sooner or later it will run out of energy." Augustus asked.

"For Xel'Naga, energy, genes, and information are all one, and they can be transformed into each other. Based on this theory. In theory, the artifact they created is just like a super Rubik's cube with infinite possibilities." Narud explained patiently:
"The Xel'Naga artifact has multiple preset modes, one of which is that it can absorb the energy of the void. But at present, the boundary between the void and reality is still tightly sealed, and there are only a very small number of cracks connected to the void, which are very difficult to find."

"Wow." Reynolds, who didn't know what was going on, said, "Sounds amazing."

"But you must have a way." Augustus held Narud in his hand: "Because you are Emil Narud."

"Let's put it this way, we have to use a medium that can provide void energy to charge the Xel'Naga artifact." Narud said:
"Then you need a lot of terrazine or you can seek the help of the Protoss Dark Templar. The best candidate is Tosh the Blade Prince. The powerful energy contained in his body is inherited from the lord of the swarm. Tosh's It's so powerful that it can be fully charged in just one shot."

"As far as I know, Tosh happened to be imprisoned by you."

"You mean we need a mobile portable charger, which sounds a lot like bio-power generation." Renault's brains turned quickly.

"Jimmy, you are right." Augustus thought: "Isn't the brain worm also a powerful psychic entity that uses void energy?"

"There's no need for Tosh, just let the alpha brain worm recharge, and the palace doesn't raise waste."

If the cerebrate was here, it would probably faint out of anger, and use its psionic energy to charge the Xel'Naga artifact and turn its head to deal with itself. Thinking about it, it's not something carbon-based creatures can do.

"This is really the best use of everything." Narud was dumbfounded.

"Your research on the Xel'Naga artifacts is really meticulous. I really can't imagine how we would deal with the powerful Zerg without you," Augustus said.

"I'm still far away." Dr. Narud said, "The one who really knows the effects is their maker."

"How modest you are," said Augustus.

"Hehehe." Narud had a smile on his face.

At this time, several soldiers from the Simonson Arsenal were taking a straight ladder and throwing the sack containing the brain worm Alpha on the cold concrete floor of the test field.While the cerebrates were yelling, the soldiers immediately withdrew from the scene.

"Augustus! You don't really want to kill me, do you?" The brain worm exclaimed:
"Dog Emperor!"

"My unyielding soul will avenge you, Augustus! I will unleash the vicious dogs of war and plunge mankind into endless civil strife and massacre. I am the Cataclysm!"

"Why does it have so many plays?" Augustus asked Reynolds: "I heard that this guy watches movies about ancient earth and even musicals every day."

"Maybe his real talent is being a top actor," Reynolds replied. "Isn't he the godfather of August Grad Hologram? Maybe that's what he's good at."

"Let's get started." Augustus confirmed to Narud, "Are you sure you won't kill this guy?"

"The impact of a nova that is not fully charged is far from enough to kill a powerful brain worm, but the specific damage it will cause still needs to be tested." Narud said.

"But it will make the poor man suffer," ordered Augustus.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, the Nova Impact of the Xel'Naga Artifact needs to be manually activated by a special person." Narud said: "Aegon is on his way."

"No, I can't let my scientists take risks." Augustus said, "Isn't it there? Let Alpha activate the Nova Impact of the artifact."
