Xiling Empire

In fact, this is the first time I set foot on the land of Green Star. Although this planet was dragged back to shadow space as a trophy a few days ago, but all the scientists are busy on it. Tavel will defend the planet. The system description is extremely sensitive and fragile, which led to the landing troops except the first Scorpion soldiers landing on Green Star being banned. At the beginning, I wanted to follow them and take a look at them. The result was a delay. I forgot.

"My subordinates don't really worry about letting the careless soldiers move on this planet," Tavel said as he greeted me from the shuttle. I came alone, although I said that I was very interested in Green Star. I ’m interested, but I ’m really scared that the girl will come and move. "In just a few days, we found at least 30,000 clusters of suspected alarm devices on the surface of Green Star. Their effective radius covers the entire planet. Any Energy fluctuations that exceed the threshold will be recognized by Green Star as a signal of attack, and then an energy barrier below its crust will be activated. Fortunately, these alarm devices are only responsible for turning on the defense and are not connected to the self-destructing system—genus There are good reasons to believe that this planet can self-destruct. "

"That's right, I believe so, anything that the old empire touches should be self-destructing."

As I promised, I jumped in place. The gravity of this planet is slightly lower than the standard gravity of the earth, but it doesn't seem to be much different. The ground is covered with a layer of green matter, and it spreads all the way to the horizon. Clear green, they look like crystal clear and textured. But stepping on is soft, Wei Jia reported to me last time, she described it as "a natural carpet that can relax your six legs." Well, until now I feel that her description is more difficult to understand ...

The landing point that Tavel guides us is near the Green Star North Pole. This North Pole point was manually assigned by us because when Green Star was dragged by a predator, it temporarily stopped rotating and resumed activity after shadow space. One operation The vignette caused the planet not to rotate along the original rotation axis. Later, Tavel simply redesignated the North Pole according to the current rotation axis of Green Star-if there is an indigenous people on this planet. North should not be found now.

Around the landing site is a slightly messy scientific outpost. Several custom-shaped planet colony silos are spliced ​​together to form a series of facilities such as laboratories. Tall strange devices can be seen everywhere around the outpost. Weird gadgets used by scientists, Tavel introduced these are special equipment for scanning Green Star: everything used here is specially made, even temporarily assembled, so there is no way to plan neatly according to the system. Let the experimental area look neat and tidy than the usual Empire base.

"We try our best to adjust the energy bands of all devices. To bypass the Green Star alarms and barriers. You can see a tall crystal tip cluster in the distance. This kind of tip cluster is one of those 30,000 alarms. First, I don't know what kind of civilization made this system. They grow from the ground and keep exploring the surface. Using these pointed clusters to determine the situation under the crust is the only safe and feasible way: at least you don't need to drill through the earth. But they At the same time, contacting the planet ’s alarm network, it is not easy to scan these clusters without triggering an alarm. These special scanning devices are not good, but they perform well. "

"I want to know, has this planet stayed calmly in the safe area of ​​space for the past tens of thousands of years?" I asked, puzzled. "Listening to what you described, the alarm system in this place is very sensitive. Wouldn't a wind and grass trigger global martial law? Wouldn't it self-destruct if it hit a meteorite? As you said, it has a self-destruct system. "

"This is very easy to explain. This layer of gel crystals on the surface of Green Star has a protective effect similar to that of the armor layer. Although it does not seem to be explained, the subordinates took a few samples and found that they can be recharged. After that, they will become as strong as interstellar alloys, and they can withstand multiple energy attacks. Theoretically this is the case. "

It sounds a bit like the charged armor used by the Empire Starship, but I don't know if this layer of green carpet uses phantom energy.

"In addition, Green Star's alarm system has the ability to discriminate," Tavel said without looking at me, and continued. "We have carefully conducted multiple tests to determine that this system is only effective for attacks and penetration below the earth's crust. It was a meteorite impact, which would activate an offset shield and bounce off the attack. "

My eyebrows raised: "Shield? You said that this planet has a shield?"

"Sometimes, we found a charged ring structure half a kilometer underground. It should be an old-fashioned shield generator. They have a psionic response, indicating that it was the old empire's equipment to the vassal race. But these shields The generator should have broken down or had insufficient energy. None of these shields were activated when the fallen apostles attacked. This is theoretically the case. "

"You won't find these clusters, will you?"

I looked at the desolate wilderness around. The green star's surface is quite monotonous. There are only two things here: the green gel crystals that cover the entire planet surface, and the so-called crystal clusters that are a little lighter and really have a crystal texture. Crystal clusters were later discovered by Tavel, but I don't think they are important enough to call me over.

"Of course not only that."

Tavel really shook his head, then turned on the holographic projection, "We found ... deeply in the depths of Green Star ... a strange life response."

My ears suddenly edged: "Life response? Is there a living person underneath ?!"

"No, it ’s hard to say. The subordinates even suspected that this was a false alarm by the instrument: the feedback signal below stretched into a slice, and there was a life response in an area almost the size of the earth's core, but according to the results obtained by the band-frequency analysis method, The frequency of these feedback signals is the same, that is, from the same living body, theoretically. "

"Creature the size of the earth's core?" I stunned, then glanced at the sky involuntarily. Sandora was hanging there, spinning around leisurely, waiting for the moment of rebirth, so she calmed down. "It doesn't seem to be unimaginable."

"Please don't take the power of the Apostles of the Spirit as a rule." Tavel looked at the golden day in tears with a smirk. You don't really want to say that there is Sandorah shining there, and the exploration of the surface of the Green Star is easy. Less, at least no extra lighting.

"First of all, we can't explain why there is a huge organism in the center of the planet: if it is really an organism. This is not clear from any evolutionary template. Such a life would not be born under natural circumstances. Unless it was made by Ding Dong. Second. You should look at this, this is near the mantle of Green Star. "

I looked at the pictures pointed out by Tavel. Above are the layered green star structure diagrams. Most of the structure diagrams are marked with the word "to be determined", indicating that the structure of those parts is only conjectured based on limited information. The situation may be very different, and in the mantle location, in addition to the words to be determined, there are many honeycomb grids. These grids are evenly sized. Distributed in a periodic pattern, it looks like a ring-shaped ribbon.

"These are all hollow. Green Star is divided into many layers. The outer layer is gel crystal, the second layer is the solid crust, and then these nests. The signal shielding and alarm network diffused near the crust should be these. Lairs are emitted, they are 100% artificial products, but several detection plans for these places have failed. As long as something touches these grids, they will be destroyed by a strong energy pulse. The pulse type is phantom, maybe it is Anti-infantry sentry guns and the like. The subordinates didn't dare to put down more powerful probes: that might trigger some kind of self-destruct procedure. Theoretically this is the case. "

"Very cautious, very good." I nodded while looking at the structure of Green Star. At its core, it was marked in red with the words "Suspected Life Response", and my attention was drawn to it.

"Ding-dong, Ding-dong," I reached into my chest pocket and grabbed the little bit of the bubble gum I was stealing. "Help ... Do you need to exaggerate such a bubble gum ?!"

Ding Dong was tied to bubble gum like a mummy, and sighed moaningly, "Ding Dang is actually very good! Ding Dong wants to try fancy sugar, but it just fails."

"I'm not good enough for you to change three outfits a day!" I took out the cup and washed Ding Dang. "Okay, let's take a look at this. You might be interested."

It should be right to find Ding Dong for something related to strange creatures, at least she did pretty well in her professional class. I pointed her to the projection provided by Tavel: "Look at this, there is such a big creature near the core of the Green Star Earth, um, it may be a group of creatures, but Tavel thinks it is unlikely, using the Empire ’s The result of the device scan is that there is only a single biological individual response there-yes, you should not use our device if you scan the life response? "

Ding Dong jumped to the nearest machine and compared it with the induction crystal of the machine: "Ding Dong can't reach it, so it can't be used!"

Okay, I asked a pretty good question.

Little Goddess held her arms and began to fly around in the air, her face full of peanuts was full of seriousness, she thought for a long time, and lay back on my head again: "The interference is a bit strong, but the following is not a Life responds. Of course, there is really only one in the earth's core, it's a pretty big guy, and here it is— "

Ding-Dang said, jumping to mid-air with a small foot and quickly kicking a few places on the holographic projection: "These grid-like structures also have signs of life, at least some signs of life."

"It's weird," Ding Dang flipped a few somersaults in the air. This is her unique flying stunt. "There must be many, many lives there. They are all alive, many souls are gathered together, but not the same as ordinary life , I ca n’t feel alive ... It seems like a lot of free spirits are mixed together, and there is a strong interference, saying that they ca n’t break through completely. ”

I looked at each other with Tavel, and they both saw the meaning of surprise in the eyes of each other, but no one doubted what Ding Dang said. As a goddess of life, her judgment at this time was better than the most advanced life detector. Accurate.

"I feel creepy," I squeezed Dingdang's wings and put her back in my pocket. The little thing only looked out of a small head and looked around. "How do you feel like a ghost? There are hundreds of millions under the green star. Can't the lonely ghost be a ghost? "

"If they do exist, then they have survived for at least tens of thousands of years," Tavel looked solemnly, slowly adjusting the instruments in his hand. "... before the fall of the old empire and the appearance of the fallen apostles, they lived ..."

"Can we contact them?"

"Theoretically ... no," Tavel shook his head with regret. "In the initial exploration, we accidentally touched the Green Star's alarm system two or three times, but except for the automatic defense response with no sign of intelligence. To other information: such as communication from the underground, nothing. They may not even realize the arrival of Emperor, let alone know that their planet has been captured. "

"Find a way to connect with those living beings," Sandora's voice suddenly heard in the spiritual connection. "No matter what method they are, they may be the only surviving vassal race after the empire's collapse."

Tavel immediately gave a military salute to the Emperor Urasis: wearing sunglasses.

"Ajun, I'm so angry if you dare to sing" My Sun "!" Sandora keenly noticed my unscrupulous look: from tens of thousands of kilometers away, she threatened immediately, "Yes Now. What about the King Admiral dominating the ship? Is it possible to restart? "

Tavel stunned. The expression was subtle: "... this ... it's a bit difficult, you know, it basically died in various places. Now we can put it together is a miracle."

Tavel has her own difficulties. Although she is the chief scientist with super mobility, she also has her own strength limit. The cutting-edge technology required by the King Admiral is too extensive. As an abnormal product of the old Emperor's thoughts going to some extreme, the King Admiral's dominating ship has almost reached all the technologies involved in combat.

After finishing the communication with Sandora, I chatted with Tavel, at first it was about the life response under the green star, but soon. Our topic is biased towards the King Adventist.

"A King Adventist, the most common model. How strong will it be?" I asked curiously.

Tavel thought about it: "Subordinates have not experienced the glorious era of the King Admiral and can only guess from historical data. A King Admirer is a super weapon in the positioning of war, even higher than the Star Fortress. When it is not fully charged, even a bomber-launched assault ship can seriously hurt it, but after completing the recharge, the King Admiral can destroy almost everything in range, including the most powerful eternal mothership. This kind of spacecraft goes to extremes and goes quite far: it is hard to find anything more paranoid than it is in the same war position. Perhaps its original model development background is a terrible battle. Basically every empire A revolutionary armament was developed under these circumstances. "

"One level higher than the Star Fortress?" I raised an eyebrow. "I think Warsong is strong enough, at least Warsong is equipped with plural rules-like law equipment. At the beginning, a Warsong put us in a fleet. Playing around. "

"An old empire planet warship can cause great trouble to a fleet, but it cannot destroy the latter, and a fully-charged King Admiral can destroy a fleet, by the way, kill a Star Warship: their battlefield positioning is different. King Lin The mission of the player is to destroy the enemy, and it is more inclined to fight: destroy the enemy with the strongest fighting force, causing a devastating blow to the target in a short time, while the latter can be heard from the name. Another name of the Star Warship It is a star fortress. The words fortress are not the names of weapons, but they should be considered moving positions. Even if they are larger, more expensive, and more complex in structure, they are not intended to charge forward. "

I thought about it and knew it: this is equivalent to having a nuclear warhead who is better than a presidential palace. On the administrative level, the presidential palace crushes the nuclear warhead. The cost is the same, but it is thrown on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of presidents ca n’t carry a nuclear bomb, right?

Of course, the planet fortress is much more powerful than the presidential palace. At least it can also be used for warfare. You can think of it as a presidential palace full of anti-aircraft guns, and it is full of MPs carrying RPGs.

When Tavel heard my description, he nodded admiringly: "Your idea is unique."

I am very interested in the weapon system of King Admiral, Genesis. According to the existing description, I think it is something similar to the main "cannon". When it starts, it will "shoot" the target and then destroy the target. This battle method looks a bit rough, and the advanced weapon should be like Warsong ~ www.readwn.com ~, then it stays still, and then the rules of the weapon are scattered, and XX light years away will turn upside down. It is really surprising that the combat effectiveness of the No. 2 (only on combat effectiveness) is strong, but the King Admiral uses such barbaric weapons.

I talked to Tavel in detail and learned that the true face of "Genesis" is, of course, a documented version.

"Information disassembly and reorganization targeted delivery device", nicknamed "demolition division", commonly used name: Genesis.

"It sends a set of short messages denoting the" attachment point "to the target. As long as the target exists and can interact with the surrounding world, the attachment point will connect it to the Genesis system. This is the aiming process, and then Genesis starts. , Shuffle all the information of the target, reorganize randomly, this is the attack process, Genesis is such a simple and rude thing, "Tavel explained this device that sounds powerful but completely incomprehensible," You know, everything in the world is Based on information description, because they can produce information interaction with other things, they only exist and have value. Genesis is based on this ultimate pole. It will destroy the target's information structure, like a scale pole. Small speed and extremely fast hot start. Although the attack range is limited, as long as the target is within range, it will be demolished.

Now, our first goal is to create a weakened version of Genesis that can be applied to other warships ... "
