The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

For the future of human beings so as not to become pawns among the great powers, and also to find a way to survive in this chaotic era.ONI officials from other places on Reach disguised themselves as prisoners, stuffed them into the prison of the confinement transport ship 'Mona Lisa', and left Reach on the grounds of transshipment.

In a desolate galaxy, the Mona Lisa undergoes a self-sinking, disguised as a power furnace failure.The officials of ONI were launched in an escape pod, and after wandering in the universe for several hours, they were recovered by the secret cruiser Twilight that was 'just in the vicinity'.The cruise ship that travels between the colonies and has never been in contact with the Consolidation Department is just used for secret talks, because there will be no eavesdropping equipment here, and there are no possible spies on board.

A dozen men and women sat in the meeting room, all of them were wearing casual clothes instead of the uniform of the guards, which made them feel a fresh and funny feeling when they looked at each other, but everyone was sad:

"The situation seems to have stabilized on the surface, but it's actually still very early." A man said, his voice sounded rough and vicissitudes, "The sword of St. Helios signed a truce agreement with us, but other There are still no remnants, our fleet defeated a group of unwelcome pirates near Onix... an old Covenant race, although it didn't cause much damage, but this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future."

"And even St. Helios can't just let it go."

"Even if it's just because of fear, they won't let it go, right?"

"Yes."

"You said, has the Consolidation Department encountered such a complicated situation here before?"

"Probably not. Humans, a chaotic colony, countless rebels who emerged from different occasions, a turbulent society; the Star Alliance, after the collapse of the races, clans, and rebels who became official forces, it is foreseeable The rebellion and the dispute with no end in sight... After the war, both sides are broken like this, and there probably won't be many other than here."

"Should we be proud of this?"

"Forget it."

It was not a pleasant topic, ONI officials discussed.

Nearly 30 years of war, uncountable casualties, these have become fear engraved in everyone's heart.

Among the various human colonies, although they are all under the banner of UEG in name, in fact UEG cannot control each colony at all times, and the communication between colonies is much less than generally imagined.People seldom take to heart the fate of planets dozens or hundreds of light years away, even if they are all human beings like themselves.

Most of the colonies are isolated from each other. In 2310, humans began to establish near-earth colonies, and in 2390, 210 human-colonized worlds have been transformed to varying degrees.Almost all colonists spend their lives in their colonies, and humans are adapting to their new homeland, which has been reflected in culture and ethos.In the past two centuries, the languages ​​and cultures of quite a few colonized planets have been different from those of the earth—living in different places, speaking different languages, experiencing almost completely different lives, and even physical structures All because of things like gravity that produce tiny changes.

Can they empathize in this situation?To be honest, humans in many places, especially those in remote colonies, don’t even consider humans on other planets as ‘citizens’ anymore… It’s like the soldiers of the Ming army who suppressed the peasant uprising in Baietan in 1450 Would you consider the Eastern Roman Empire who defended Constantinople in Constantinople...Istan...Constantinople in 1453 as 'citizens'?

Thought and knew it was impossible.

Therefore, the inhabitants of the colony do not maintain a deep-rooted hatred for the Covenant, but fear.They are afraid of the arrival of the Covenant, because the UNSC lacks enough troops and cannot protect it well. If the Covenant allows the surrender, there will definitely be human soldiers, human warships, and humans in the Covenant until this war continues. scientists.Even when the war with the Covenant was going on, there were always rebels causing trouble—sure, there was one who fought alongside General Cole, but most of the time otherwise, they usually It will only cause trouble, trouble that will kill countless people.

Just like before, no matter how hard UEG tries, there is no way to complete the integration of these loose colonies.Even if the current political system is pushed to the limit, it can’t handle this matter. If you want to change the political system and adjust the administrative organization, it’s not something that can be done overnight...God knows how long it will take for a civilization to develop to this level before changing it. time.

However, the Star Alliance must not know about the above things... This will cause a lot of trouble.

In their eyes, as long as the human beings who have just suffered a huge blow can catch their breath, they will immediately launch revenge with all their strength.The Star Alliance certainly doesn't know about human R&D capabilities, and probably doesn't understand industrial strength, but they know that the Ministry of Concord is on the side of humans. It is not surprising that humans have obtained the technology of the Ministry of few).

And they, the Sword of St. Helios, are facing the enemy from the front and rear. Those little bastards who split from the old Star Alliance want their lives at any time, and they have to do their best just to maintain the status quo.But the imaginary enemy is getting stronger and stronger. It is hard to imagine that they will not take risks under heavy mental pressure-even if the leader of the Sword of St. Helios, Till Vadam, has shown enough sincerity, but everyone It can be seen that although he is much stronger than the president of UEG, but that's it... Just like the president of UEG, he can't completely control the power under him.

Humans must now have greater power in their hands.

"The Star Alliance will definitely think that humans will retaliate. They will not believe that the United Ministry that we have allied with will remain impartial and neutral." A man said, "So we must be prepared. Although we cannot preemptively strike, we must have enough countermeasures." method."

"Is there a solution?"

He was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Dr. Halsey, show your results. Tell everyone what you found."

All attention was focused on Dr. Halsey who sat in an inconspicuous position and had not said a word until now.The haggard and irritated look on her face made her look like a wounded lion.After realizing that everyone else was looking over, Halsey said in an impatient voice:

"My idea is that it is best to trust the Ministry of Consolidation and not to do irrational things rashly, otherwise it will be hard to recover."

There was a murmur of dissatisfaction from the side, and the man who just spoke sighed deeply:

"That's not what we want to hear," he said, lighting himself a cigarette, which flickered for a while, "telling everyone about the latest findings."

Although the words were not too strong, Halsey still knew that this was an order in essence, and she had no way to disobey it.So she puts a computer on the table and looks around meaningfully:

"Among all of you here, there may be some people who will regret it in the future."

This aroused the dissatisfaction of an officer next to him, who almost beat the case:

"Dr. Halsey! I hope you recognize who you owe your allegiance to."

But Halsey did not argue with him, nor did he explain anything, but directly activated the projection system at hand.Suddenly, a star map appeared in front of everyone:

"That's all." She said, "The Consolidation Department is also investigating the ruins, but they are not yet proficient in this area, and the focus of their recent work is on breaking through the protective layer of the 05 ring. So they are far behind in the investigation."

"A... new girdle?"

"Well, and it's a belt that's not under the control of the Ministry of Consolidation."

-----------------

No. 05 ring belt, the surrounding space domain.

The long-term siege has not yet achieved any major breakthroughs, and everything is the same as when I left-except for the piles of wreckage floating in the universe, which are battleships destroyed by the ring's defense system.Although the loss is not great, the reality that no progress has been made so far is enough to make people feel frustrated.

"Boss, you're back." Seeing Oregana walking into the bridge, Kruse pointed to the pile of hot wreckage on the screen and said, "The wave gun didn't go through, we just damaged A small team of wave gun carrying ships. Just now we were still discussing whether to try out the Rainbow Sky Sword."

Rainbow Sky Sword, a powerful graviton weapon, is superior to the doomsday weapon 'Cold Wind' kinetic spear-type graviton ray launcher in terms of destructiveness, but because of its huge energy requirements, it can only be mounted on a battle fortress , it is not convenient to use, after all, it is only a defensive weapon in essence.In the past battles, this super weapon has repeatedly made great achievements, and it is reasonable for everyone to have high hopes for it.

Oregana didn't intend to forcibly push the battle fortress up to fight head-to-head with the ring belt, because that would be too much of a disadvantage.Even if that did have the possibility of success, Oregana had a new idea.She showed a 'hard work' expression, and patted Cruze on the shoulder:

"Let's withdraw the attacking team first."

"Ok?"

"Arrange psionic amplifiers and sensors outside the opponent's limit range," Oregana looked at the gleaming ring in the universe, "We have a new idea."

Chapter 1067 Chapter 103: Fast forward to the physical body to make a nest

In the eyes of many, psionic amplifiers are a dangerous technology.Because this technology was born out of a notorious operation in the Koprulu sector—【Master!Your Queen of Blades body has arrived! 】

During the attack on Tarsonis by the Sons of Kehal led by Arcturus Mengsk, he ordered the deployment of a device known as a psionic launcher to attract the zerg to Tarsonis, and then Throwing Kerrigan to the ground and retreating amid the chaos led directly to Arcturus' confrontation with Jim Raynor, and everything after that.

The story of the parties involved in that incident will not be mentioned for the time being, and the equipment used at that time was the prototype of the current Psionic Amplifier.Its main function is to amplify the user's psychic signal and direct it in a specific direction to 'focus' the broadcast.

Given the nature of the Dark Worms, amplifying psionic signals and broadcasting them in the Warp might seem like a risky move, but it's not.

It is as if you said that the precision of the spy satellite in the early 21st century can already see the headlines on the newspapers in the hands of pedestrians, but it is still a dream to see clearly the Egyptian fly on the background next to the photo of DIO that the pedestrians are holding in their hands.The response of the psionic signal processed by the psionic amplifier on the cosmic scale is even smaller than that of a fly's leg, and the amplified signal will produce distortion, which is easily disturbed in the normal subspace tide and propagates over a long distance across the world This will cause the signal to be interpreted as clutter, and even the dark worm can't tell it out-this is only determined after several months of finding fault with Ligru, it really can't recognize it.

But this is not the case at short distances. After precise calculations and then amplifying the psionic response, the recognition will become very high at short distances.Many recently established whaling teams have psychic navigators. These psykers who have undergone rigorous and systematic training at the Naval Academy, in addition to analyzing the complex and dangerous storms in the subspace corridors, also have qualification certificates for operating psychic amplifiers ——Once the dark worms are found to be approaching the ecological planet or the settlement, the navigator must use this equipment to amplify his spiritual energy to attract the dark worms to a safe location for hunting. In most cases, the strong spiritual response It will be easier to attract dark worms than the subspace projection formed by a large number of intelligent races living together.

This set of operations is jokingly called "making a nest with the flesh", and it is extremely effective when hunting alone ignorant dark worms.

Because of this, when Oregana mentioned this matter, Kruse, who was instructing the demolition work on the front line, asked strangely:

"Psionic amplifier? Why do you want this kind of thing?"

The Flood does respond to psionic energy, but this response is very limited.As the Great Demon of Tzeentch, Dark Rock used his spiritual power several times to try to get the Flood out of the seemingly indestructible shield, but the Flood ignored him, and even stretched out a tentacle from the side to show it. He said that he heard it, and he was completely like 'I just like the way you look at me but you can't kill me'.

This Gravemind is quite smart, and its intelligence is obviously used in many unnecessary places.

During this time, the detection beacons monitored the Flood's thought waves, found out the launched Flood capsules one by one, and blew them up with purgatory missiles.When fighting against this kind of biological enemy, unless there is something special—for example, to restrain the dark worm’s otter, then the best method is high temperature, and the efficiency of plasma weapons is even higher than that of lasers.

It's just that the projection of the ontology has not been found until now.

The location of the Gravemind has yet to be determined, and neither equipment nor psykers can find its accurate projection—the anchoring system of the belt and the energy circulation disrupt the energy flow inside the subspace, even if a probe is placed It is also difficult to get close to... To put it simply, the ring itself has formed an extremely small subspace storm on the back of its location, and this 'storm' may have lasted for as long as 10 years.

However, Oregana's attitude is firm:

"We may have been misled." She opened the holographic tactical view, "Arrange six... no, seven, and the isolation field should also be arranged together. Don't exceed this range."

While speaking, she clicked seven points around the small subspace storm, showing a posture of encircling the storm area. With a turn of her finger on the image, she set the focus broadcasts of all the amplifiers to point at the storm area.After completing the setting, pull the index finger, middle finger and thumb of both hands on the holographic view, and pull out a sphere to wrap it outside.

"The Flood react to psionic energy, so all psionic transmissions must be directed to their senses."

"Did you notice something?"

"Well," Oregana nodded, "We observed the echo of psionic energy in the subspace when we blasted the sky, and found some problems when we sorted out the data and calculated it while taking a bath..."

"what is the problem?"

"After all, it is such a powerful explosion, we want to use it in actual combat if we have the opportunity." She explained, "So I took the past few difficult battle scenes to perform simulation calculations, one of which is The abyss of that world."

"The abyss of the four-hundred-star world? Do you want to try to see what effect will be produced by blasting in the deepest part?"

"It's exciting to stuff firecrackers in the hole, right? But don't try it in the sewer or septic tank, or you may go straight to the sky."

"Who would try this!"

In the Four Hundred Star World (Ranch), the investigation team discovered an abyss there—it was an unreasonable vertical cave, full of strange phenomena caused by the pollution of the dark worms and the erosion of the subspace.The locals regard it as the 'curse of the abyss'. Investigators continue to enter the abyss, resist the curse, retrieve treasures from it, and explore carefully, recording the last secret place of this world.

However, there is a broken insect egg at the bottom of the abyss, and the individuals in it are unable to leave this area, and can only hang themselves in the gap between the material world and the subspace.It took a little effort to get rid of the dark worm, but the pollution is still difficult to deal with.To this day, the investigation team of the Ministry of Consolidation is still investigating the 'Abyss' together with the cave explorers in the local area, recording all kinds of abnormal phenomena that may be caused by the dark worm.

...For example, humans who have turned into plush rabbits have the same characteristics of hating steel as the cursed son. She has become friends with the outsiders in the investigation team Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara, and she has always wanted to see it. Enju Aihara's completely wild liberation mode (rabbit mode).After learning of this information, the Scythe of War nervously ordered to go to the abyss to wear a mask, carry a big box, take a young girl and ask the young girl to call her father, do illegal biological experiments, and install a net gun in her hand And beam rifles, nimble, like to say 'Sbarassi' men'.

result……

"Is it me who is going to be arrested?!"

The one who said this was Hiruko Yingyin (Yin's face was dazed) who went down with the team and was wearing the standard armor of the investigation team—he was the only person found to meet all the above requirements after the investigation was over.

From today on, brother Zhizi, you are Li Mingqing! (fog)

In terms of the result, although it is indeed very similar, it is not the same world as that... It is all due to the misjudgment caused by the appearance of a rabbit with too high recognition. (far eye)

But now, when Oregana was performing the simulation, she accidentally noticed the record left when she probed the 'hole' leading to the subspace under the abyss.A part of the curve of the space energy signal in the long-term unfolding of the channel in the record is very similar to a small section of the energy curve that recurs in the small-scale subspace behind the annulus.

This made her realize that she seemed to have grasped the point.

"You go in person?"

"Well," Oregana replied, "It's still higher than the instantaneous output."

As shown in the experiments, Oregana lacks the ability to control psionic energy - she is like a sky cannon, which only explodes after being ignited.But the sparks at the moment of the explosion were extremely dazzling.Although she couldn't control this power, the sky cannon itself was only responsible for the explosion, and it was the responsibility of the others to appreciate the flames of the explosion.

"...That's true. The initial estimated damage range is more than twelve times that of the 'white ball in the promotional film'." Liu Lizi whispered next to him, "It's unstoppable."

"The self-detonation of the white ball can only kill a Ultralisk, and we are much better than that." Oregana showed a proud expression, "Probably can withstand an Ultrabomb!"

No one around can take this.

Nor does she care:

"Let's go when we're ready, let the boys move fast."

"Yes!"

But at this moment, Monica from the guard came in. Her expression was a little nervous, her ears drooped downwards, she looked around and said to Oregana:

"Boss, before you explode, I have something to tell you."
