Harmonic Battleship Hyperion

……

Lin Yuan's guess was accurate.

As the three got closer to the terrazine-enriched area provided by Tosh back then, there were more and more traces of mechanical biological activities, and even mechanical worker bees and mechanical hydralisks appeared.

The former doesn't look like the springtails before, it's basically like an automated robot that keeps digging in the gaps in the stone slabs in the square, and transports the obtained metal materials to a certain place... These wide slabs The square is a relic built by the ancient protoss, and some fanatic-like stone statues can be seen on the edge, but it should have nothing to do with Tadalin.

The latter obviously possesses simple intelligence. Lin Yuan, who activated the stealth system, intentionally made some slight movements when approaching it. As a result, the Hydralisk immediately put on a combat pilot, and "grinning its teeth" looked at the incoming A place of unknown sound.

Of course, compared to the ferocious appearance of the metal wind, the small missile launchers installed on both sides of its long and narrow head are more deterrent... It can be seen that those things are also pieced together from recycled parts, and they are also I don't know if it will explode first if it is really launched.

As for those metal residues, it is not difficult to understand. Tosh mentioned in the past that the "Shadow Blade Project" that cultivated ghost agents was originally a project of the Empire, and the use of terrazine to enhance spiritual power was also the basis of this project. , and one of the sources of diazine is Baisher.

It's just that after several small troops were dispatched in a row and were taken away by Tadalin, the empire was unwilling to continue to increase investment. Instead, the rangers of Tosh and Renault took the lead.

"The situation is not right. These mechanical zergs were not randomly placed here. They are clearly organized by someone."

After returning to Kiana and Rita, he said, "You stay here and stay hidden. I will follow the worker bees to see where they are going to recycle the metal scraps."

"Can't I go with you?"

"The more people you are exposed to, the higher the risk."

"People are not afraid of these scrap copper and rotten iron!"

"I know, that's why I need to go alone."

Lin Yuan said unmoved: "With the fighting power of the two of you, it is easy to cause the people who control these mechanical zergs to be alerted and then run away... Then they will not be able to understand their purpose."

These words startled both Kiana and Rita.

"Mr. Lin... If I understand correctly..."

Rita tilted her head slightly, with a delicate expression, "Are you complimenting the two of us obliquely?"

"Just stating the facts, well, be patient, I may need your support soon."

"Don't worry, Lin Yuan, if there is any trouble, I will be by your side within half a second!"

With the ability of the Herrscher of Space, this is not an exaggeration, because Qiyana does have this capital.

Lin Yuan nodded, then glanced at Rita, then turned and left the hiding place surrounded by bushes.

That look was a reminder, even a warning, and he also believed that Rita would understand...

The metal worker bees digging up leftovers are still busy working. In terms of toil, they are no worse than real zerg worker bees, and they don't need food or creep support. There was no reaction after the stone passed by.

No wonder the mechanical Hydralisk is needed to take care of it... With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan slipped quietly to the vicinity of the Mechanical Hydralisk again.

Except that the quality of the metal plate used as the "exoskeleton" is a bit poor, and there is no such a hard and smooth feeling, the appearance of the mechanical Hydralisk is almost exactly the same as that of the real Hydralisk.

The long and narrow skull, sharp wings, and snake-like half-body structure have all been restored, and even the mouth has been fitted with a lot of steel nails and used needle bombs to imitate the sharp teeth of the Hydralisk. I wonder if its creator has any tendency to obsessive-compulsive disorder or perfectionism.

In addition, although the metal parts that make up the body are old, their luster is quite good, at least the joints are well taken care of, indicating that the movement may not be worse than that of a real Hydralisk.

It's a pity, for the sake of safety, it's better to deal with you first...

The invisible spiritual energy was released from Lin Yuan's palm, forming an invisible palm around the body of the Mechanical Hydralisk, and then he grabbed it violently!

This poor "sentinel" suddenly shattered into fragments scattered all over the ground, and it can be regarded as returning to its original appearance, while the mechanical bees continued to dig as if they hadn't seen anything. Material is sent in a specific direction.

Judging from the train tracks on the slate square, the ancient protoss should have come here for the terrazine... because they are connected to the terrazine collection point, and Tosh has also located the coordinates based on this before. Then came here with the Rangers.

Otherwise, if you have to find it by yourself while fighting Tadalin, then you don't know that it will take a year of the monkey to complete the task.

Focusing on the two mechanical worker bees carrying metal scraps, Lin Yuan followed them cautiously and began to head towards the southeast of the jungle.

Regardless of the unimpressive appearance of these mechanical worker bees, the mechanical claws under them are not slow to move up and down, almost comparable to the normal marching speed of the marines, so it didn't take long to reach the southernmost end of the ancient protoss relic area: a clear area High ground protruding from the ground.

Lin Yuan still remembered that they came here to collect diazine, which was the temporary base built on it... In this way, could it be possible that the creators of these mechanical zergs were humans?

Soon, this conjecture was confirmed, because a facility that was supposed to be abandoned appeared in his field of vision while it was still in operation.

It was a temporary gas processing plant, located next to the slope leading to the highland. Ten months ago, Lin Yuan witnessed the SCVs of the Rangers building it, with the purpose of compressing the collected terrazine Encapsulated for removal from this planet.

Undoubtedly, after the Rangers withdrew, only the basic work line was left and it should be completely quiet... Tadarin should not have a habit of venting his anger with thrown away things.

However, now, this simple processing factory is constantly making low-pitched roars, and there are several unprecedented machines parked around it, and a large number of mechanical worker bees are lifting metal cans of different shapes from it, and then Take it to the high ground.

What did their makers want terrazines for?

Just as this idea popped up in Lin Yuan's mind, a figure suddenly rose from the high ground.

It is also a strange machine, much larger than those around the processing plant. The main body is like an outpost satellite protected by three shields, and there is a rotating railgun underneath. The graffiti, no matter how you look at it, looks like something put together by militants from the edge galaxy.

But the performance of this guy really surprised Lin Yuan.

First of all, its flight speed is much faster than expected, and it is extremely stable, it is not like it can be achieved with only three propulsion devices.

Secondly, its energy power is quite strong, and it can even be felt with psionic energy. In addition, it can be confirmed that it is not nuclear energy or psionic energy, but some unknown energy source.

Finally, and the most critical point, this aircraft actually has anti-stealth capabilities!

The reason why Lin Yuan was able to make a judgment so quickly was because the railgun had already started to attack him...

"This is a big joke!"

While the bushes and trees in the hiding place were all blasted into pieces, he had no choice but to jump out from inside and started running towards the high ground.

On a real battlefield, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Although this saying is not correct, it is very applicable to individuals with superior combat effectiveness, because they can really enter the most dangerous place unscathed... For an armed machine that can fly freely, Lin Yuan's choice is to rush to the place where it just took off, so that it will not dare to fire casually again.

But after running up the ramp at high speed, he almost didn't fall to the ground because of the scene in front of him...

Most of the facilities built by the Rangers on the high ground back then were dismantled and taken away, leaving only some active supply stations, building frames, and a small amount of scrapped equipment.

But now, a base appeared on the high ground, a base composed of messy facilities.

If Lin Yuan hadn't seen those mechanical zergs before, he might not have recognized them, but at this moment, he quickly thought of something and saw the "function" of these facilities.

They're all modeled after zerg hatcheries.

So here is not just a bunch of mechanical bugs, but a whole nest of mechanical bugs?That's not right, the machines next to the processing plant and the things that are attacking themselves are not the Zerg's style of painting.

Although I really want to find out why this happened on Baisher, but right now I should avoid that sensitive aircraft...

Hearing the sound of the railgun turning again from the air behind him, Lin Yuan decisively rushed to the middle of the base, where the command center of the Rangers was located. Later, when he left, he scrapped a lot of things that could not be recovered. The equipment remained, but now it has become a "pyramid" built of scrap metal.

However, if you have seen the Zerg base hatch, you can tell that this is actually a main nest.

Then, there shouldn't be a bunch of mechanical zerg hiding under the ground, right?

Just as Lin Yuan relied on the zigzag route to dodge the gunfire of the aircraft and quickly approached the main nest of the mechanical version, he suddenly felt the stone plate under his feet vibrate.

Having fought countless battles with Zerg, he instantly understood what this was, so he activated his spiritual power without hesitation, leaped from the ground and rushed into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp needle that looked like it was modified from an isolated pipe pierced the ground and rushed up.

There are indeed lurkers! ?

Looking back at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Lin Yuan rarely felt absurd and dumbfounded... He wasn't too nervous, after all, with the enemies that appeared so far, it was no problem to deal with them with his own strength, and Kiyana is nearby and can come to support at any time.

In fact, Lin Yuan would have been reckless with his solar battle ax long ago if he hadn't wanted to find out who made these mechanical zergs and what his purpose was.

As the distance from the main mechanical nest got closer, the aircraft in the air did reduce the frequency of firing. It seemed that this thing did have perfect instructions, but a large number of mechanical springtails and mechanical hydralisks came from various facilities. After running out, an irregular encirclement was soon formed.

At this moment, Lin Yuan also noticed a figure appearing on the top of the mechanical main nest... If it was a real Zerg hatchery, there should be an exhaust vent, but here it seems to be a platform.

It's human! ?Even familiar?

Surprised, Lin Yuan couldn't help but stop, and looked carefully at the top of the main nest.

"It's you damn fellows again! Don't you even have any conscience at all!? I studied these terrazines for the sake of the great Baisher! Not for my own selfish desires! Get out of here now! Otherwise! I'm going to ask my mechanical bug swarm to deal with you!"

The skinny face and figure, the sharp and high-pitched voice, the dirty uniform of the researcher, and the crazy look and movements... Although the eyes and hair have undergone obvious changes, these very familiar features still make Lin Yuan Instantly recognized the other party's identity.

"Dr. Stetmann!?"

He yelled out in shock, "How could it be you!?"

Chapter 246 False and True Planet Gods

Chapter 246 False and True Planet Gods

Speaking of Egon Stetman, most Rangers have the impression of eccentric character, sensitive reaction and sharp voice. Although he has admirable knowledge and ability, he is really not easy to get along with. people.

Even Raynor sometimes has a headache because of some "little requests" from Stetman, such as looking for some living scorpion bones in the ruins of Tarsonis, or leading wild beasts to emerge from the ground It was burnt to death in the magma... If it is necessary to find someone on the Hyperion who can stay with him for a long time, then it must be Lin Yuan.

It's just that it's not because they can adapt to each other, but because they can do their own things in the same laboratory without getting in the way of each other...

"Come, come, come in! Don't be intimidated by the appearance outside, it's very comfortable to live inside!"

Stetmann warmly greeted Lin Yuan and the two Valkyries who had just been called over, like a hospitable host, "You must have never tasted Baisheer's specialty wood fruit herbal tea, it tastes so good Already!"

Beshel's specialty...drink?

Even with Lin Yuan's ability to accept, he was extremely skeptical about it. On the contrary, Qiyana, who was extremely novel, and Rita, who didn't know anything very well, were more natural.

The interior of the facility remodeled after the Zerg's main nest has become a large-scale fully automated cultivation factory... The reason why "cultivation" is used instead of "production" is because its operation method is almost copied from the Zerg, only But replace the flesh and bones with metal and machinery.

After entering from the narrow entrance that does not seem to be prepared for people, it is an extremely messy passage, with welded plates in a mess up, down, left, and right, which looks like a slum built indiscriminately in the port of the dead.

"Wow, Lin Yuan, this place is even more dilapidated than the dormitory area on the ground floor of the Hyperion. Do we really want to go in?"

"This comparison is not fair. Don't forget that the entire base was built by Dr. Stetman alone."

Lin Yuan stopped Kiyana's complaints in a low voice, and then followed Stetman, who was about to get rid of the three of them, into the metal gate that could no longer be closed.

Of course, it was not a living room, but a laboratory, surrounded by various equipment made of messy metal parts... I really don't know how he managed to do this by himself.

"Doctor, you can talk about drinks later... How long have you been here?"

Looking at Stetman whose eyes and skin were covered with lavender marks like those out-of-control ghosts under Tosh, Lin Yuan asked somewhat reluctantly.

Tosh mentioned when he was working with the rangers that terrazine is an efficient but dangerous thing. If it is not strictly controlled, a slight excess will drive people into a state of madness, and not every psionic ability Talented people can enjoy the effect it produces.

Otherwise, the "Shadow Blade" project would have succeeded long ago, and he would not have become a dangerous criminal wanted by the empire.

Knowing this, Lei Nuo strictly prohibited Lin Yuan from touching anything related to terrazine, so he didn't know what it felt like after ingesting terrazine.

"How long? Yes, time is very important... very important, I may still need a few days, months, or even years! But it doesn't matter, Lin Yuan, you are here, I finally have a helper!"

"PhD?"

"Ah yes... yes yes, sorry, when did you ask me to find Baisheer?"

Stetman rubbed his hands, his expression was indescribably excited, and he looked extremely weird, "Then it should be after we separated from the boss? That's right, I should have come earlier!"
