StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 76 The Strongest SCV in History (First Order)

"Communication code α4-4-7-6, galaxy jumper No. 77, please stop at Pier 11 of Port A, all personnel have been cleared. This is Turasis II New Babylon Space Station, salute to the soldiers."

A small ship landed in the station's slowly rotating top port.When the gangway of the spaceship opened, Augustus, who was dressed in a brown officer's uniform, stepped off the spaceship, followed by Jim Raynor, who was wearing a soldier's uniform.

The circulating air in the space station was abnormally dry, and the artificial gravity equivalent to 0.95 times the standard gravity held Augustus firmly. Several small and medium-sized interstellar spaceships are parked on the empty mooring platform of Port A. The streamlined and graceful curves of these spaceships and the obvious traces of private modification show the identity of their owners.

A port bus suspended above the ground picked up Augustus and Renault, and drove them to another pier.

Along the way, Augustus saw many workers and patrolling soldiers. Everyone here was so busy that he didn't even have time to stop to say hello.When he looked out, Augustus could see the deep black starry sky and a satellite in the distance. How to prevent the air and maintain the stability of air pressure in this situation made him curious.

Augustus saw his brother, Arcturus Mengsk, who had announced his retirement, lying under the belly of a medium-sized galaxy hopper, grooming his unkempt hair in thick, denim gloves. Wires of various colors.

Arcturus no longer wears his crisp officer's uniform with its large bronze epaulets, but instead wears a standard mineworker's uniform—thick textile outer trousers, pockets of orange Jacket and a solid pair of boots, with a giant power wrench strapped to his waist.

A few men dressed like Arcturus were busy maneuvering a sixteen-foot space construction vehicle into the cargo bay of the galaxy hopper.

"Augustus, before I leave, it's really exciting to see you." Arcturus heard the voice of Augustus talking to Raynor, and when he was about to get up, he slammed his head on the metal floor of the spaceship.

Augustus and Raynor grabbed Arcturus by the feet and dragged him out from under the spaceship. He sat down beside his brother and said, "How do you do this kind of work? A professional mechanic is no better than you. How many?"

"That's a lot of money." Arcturus sat up, wiped the oil stains on his clothes, and wanted to hug his brother—but was pushed away by Augustus, and his brother's face suddenly showed sadness look.

"Purchase equipment and spaceships, hire technical experts, workers and even security forces to deal with the Kel Morian pirates. This will cost a lot of money. I have saved money for more than ten years, just to be able to do a big job in the mining area." "Everything has to be calculated carefully to make sure that every dollar is spent in the right place," Arcturs said.

"You will succeed. My brother Arcturus Mengsk will be a great man," said Augustus.

Arcturus couldn't help laughing, he didn't care much about the praise of most people in this world, because he thought he deserved it.Only the praise of his parents and the admiration of his younger siblings can make Arcturus proud. The kinship between his family members always makes a lonely person like him feel warm.

At this time, Arcturus was already 28, and Augustus could already see some gray hairs on his head, but it was far less than that of their father Angus.Arcturus is more and more like Angus, he has grown into a mature man, and that may be what Augustus will look like ten years later.

But Augustus didn't think so. He was still very young, but he had never imagined what he would look like in the future.Compared with Arcturus, Augustus looks more like his mother and is more handsome. He may not become a bearded uncle in the future.

"Do you really think I can succeed?" Arcturus said with a smile. "No one understands me except for the few old men who have followed me since I was a non-commissioned officer. So I said to them that I have Disgusted with war and no longer believing in what we fought for."

"I can invest in your team. In the future, if you find any Ardian crystal deposits that are so huge that you can't spend your whole life, just give me a little bit." Augustus said.

"Haha, although I am very confident in my surveying skills and intuition, such mineral deposits are hard to find, and my luck will never be so good." Arcturus laughed louder: "I know you just want to find an excuse to share the pressure for me, but I watched you grow up, don't I know that you don't have the habit of saving money at all?"

"Every time you buy a ceramic piggy bank with more than ten credits, you promise to store it for a year before opening it, but just put a few dollars in it, and you smash the piggy bank the next day. Know what you're planning."

"I have about 2000 million credit coins in my hand now." Augustus said, "I know your account number, so there is no need to refuse, because I won't listen."

"What's wrong with you? Where did you get so much money?" Arcturus suddenly grabbed the clothes on Augustus's chest and shook them back and forth: "Crime? Don't hide it from me. I'm the one who will bear the sky falling." .”

"Could it be that it was given by my mother? It is possible, but my mother stopped giving me money after I became an adult."

"Not counting what my mother gave me, I have so much." Augustus, who was being dangled by his brother, had a look of unloved expression on his face: "You know, my heavenly demon can actually be counted as one." We are an independent organization. Compared with other regular army units, we are more free and flexible. My unit has received a lot of Kemerian bases and made a lot of money."

"Not a bad job. If I hadn't become a division commander, I'd also like to lead the frontline troops to harvest the loot. Many of them are very rich. If you can get it, you can get it. There's no need to leave it to those in the military system. They are greedy." Arcturus said: "But this is risky, you have to be careful. If something goes wrong, Warfield and others will help you solve it. More than half of the entire No.30 Third Ground Assault Division The officers are covering you."

"During the war, there were many systems in the army that could be exploited. I have studied it carefully. One of the loopholes is that only the trophies that have been entered into the database are the materials that must not be stolen in the army. Then, how many of us Just report some. But sooner or later they will wake up," Augustus said.

"But I can't stay in the army for long. After I leave, let those misers jump."

"Is that Angus guy forcing you to go home? Don't pay attention to him, he's just a selfish ghost." Arcturus' bushy eyebrows frowned.

"It seems that you still don't know what will happen to Keha IV. Angus said that an independence referendum will be held in April next year, declaring that the entire planet will be separated from the rule of the federal government." Augustus said seriously: " Do you know what that means?"

Arcturus almost uttered a word through gritted teeth.

"war."

"At that time, I will definitely go back to Keha, because Mom and Dorothy need me, you" Augustus hesitated to speak.

"No, I once swore to break away from Angus's control, and I spurn this meaningless and doomed revolution." Arcturus said: "Thousands of people will be punished by Angus' died in the revolution, and the autocratic patriarch of the big family would only say that it was a necessary sacrifice."

"No, I'm not going back."

"no way."

"If, after all, one day I need your help." Augustus lowered his eyes and asked softly.

"My brother, will you come back to me?"
