StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 467 Black Flag Project
In the evening, the 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Revolutionary Army crossed the intersection of the Trench of Bones and Death Valley westward, and advanced to the edge of the main hive area of ​​the Charr swarm.

At this time, the hot white sun in the sky was about to set in the west.But at this high latitude, near the North Pole, the sun sets more slowly.

General Jim Raynor, commander of the Charle Expeditionary Force, followed the brigade headquarters on his powerful gray-green Vulture motorcycle, pulling the joystick like a horse's rein.

This beautiful streamlined hoverbike is Jim Raynor's favorite, and it is said that it was Raynor's favorite "mount" when it was still at the end of the Guild Wars.

Although the strict regulations of the Revolutionary Army's motorized troops strictly prohibit the vulture riders from making all kinds of unconstrained modifications to their landlines, it is strictly forbidden to install various engines and propellers that are enough to make Major General Frick of the Revolutionary Army's logistics department yell. and weapons.

But General Reynolds believed that the people in the logistics department could not be in the field of war and empathize with the cowboys and bad boys driving vultures, and how could they understand that small modifications to meet the needs of the battlefield were absolutely necessary.

In Renault's motorized army, it is within the scope of permission to make appropriate modifications to the Condor, such as adding a reinforced windshield, a spare fuel tank, and an ion thruster engine. The addition of a reinforced frame and alloy armor plate also makes Renault The Vulture vehicles in the Rangers began to change to the more stable and reliable heavy motorcycles.

According to the Standard Equipment List of the Revolutionary Army Motorized Infantry, every vulture motorcyclist should be equipped with three Smart 52s designed by Victor Kaczynski—QDMM Spider Booby-Trap—the actual number carried is more Much, some Condor riders even wear an entire polyester woven bag.

According to unconfirmed rumors, these amazing spider traps cost even more than the vulture car.

The source of the modified original is also varied, not only from the trophies obtained by the vulture riders from the battlefield, but also from the rags that the soldiers themselves scavenged from the port of the dead, and more sources are still unknown.Each Vulture rider is also a skilled mechanic, familiar with every part of their tank as if they were their own siblings.

And this also endows the ranger motorcyclists with tenacious survivability. As long as the fuel tanks of the vulture cars are not exploded, all the incredible faults can be repaired by these magical Charle cowboys.This ability comes from the training of the Tyranids in the dangerous living environment, and it is a must-have ability for everyone who lives in a dangerous marginal world.

In the end, Renault's Condor car stopped behind a high black-brown sand dune and smoking large piles of hot granite amidst the melodious hiss of the engine.

In a lowland there stood the towering command tower of the command center and the orbiting satellite base station, and a golden-red revolutionary army flag fluttered against the rising hot wind.On both sides of this command center are a large number of vulture vehicles galloping, and the dust raised up covers the sky and the sun.

The always reliable engineers of the Charles Expeditionary Force are operating the T-280 space engineering vehicle to work on the land made of black rocks. Soon, an electrified barbed wire fence surrounding the advance base and a fortification wall with heavy Gatling cannons will appear. has risen from the ground.

The bunkers set up condescending firepower points, which are the skeleton of the human defense line.Inside the bunker are high-spirited Revolutionary Army soldiers, not federal veterans who only stand in the bunker and play international mahjong.

Renault parked his Condor in a steel-framed and rain-proof tile shed, and was running into his Chief of Staff, Charles Horner, who was wearing the same Commander power armor and was one of the few cars so skilled A good player who can compete with our Mr. Lei.

People named Horner are always reliable.

The Vulture is a fast, nimble one-man bike that, if the rider is lucky enough, is as reliable as an old-fashioned AGR-14.Like in places like Mar Sara and Antiga, it's unthinkable for a lad who can't ride a vulture.

Aside from offering little protection for the driver, the Vulture is almost perfect.On the treacherous Ash Plains of Char, a well-fueled vulture can well leave a dozen swift and agile springtails far behind, but as long as a few Hydralisks spit a few mouthfuls of acid at them, That's all.

Renault heard that recently, Marshal Augustus Mengsk actually ordered the General Directorate of Weapons of the Revolutionary Army and the First Engineering Corps to complete the design of a new generation of tanks that can replace the Vulture as soon as possible. The production test will be supplied to the front-line troops in the coming year.

The new design will feature four-wheel drive, solid fuel gas injectors and an galvanized steel fender body, powered by a powerful variable fuel engine.

The idea of ​​new equipment is beautiful, but Renault can't imagine that such a perfect Tyranid human classic as the Vulture car will ever be eliminated. ——In the Revolutionary Army, the call for upgrading various equipment has never ceased, and most of the revolutionary military government's taxes and income from mining areas have been spent on it.

Weapons like the Vulture car, the Arc tank car, and the Goliath armed robot Wraith fighter will have better and stronger alternatives. Now it seems that even the handed down classics like the APOD-33 transport ship are developing new ones. model.

War has changed everything. To survive in this dark universe, human beings must step up and upgrade their armaments to cope with more dangerous wars in the future.

"I can confirm that the Zerg's main nest area is near here. After many years, they still haven't moved their nest. Even with my eyes closed, I can't go wrong." Reynolds looked in the direction of the main nest area.

It was a low-lying area full of ravines, shaped like small puddles dotted in muddy land after a rain, except that they were filled with orange-red, flowing hot lava instead of gentle and soft water.Billowing smoke rose from the horizon, and the sky was full of dense black spots, like mosquitoes covering the sky in summer.

"Jim, the Zergs in the main hive area have heard the news, and they are heading for the position of the new ruler." Charles Horner casually threw his vulture car aside.

"Because the people on Earth plunged into the death zone." Renault quoted Marshal Augustus as he stepped on the ramp at the entrance of the command center: "It's so brave, I thought there was no such thing in the world except us. kind of people."

"Technician, tell me, is our communication equipment still in a mess?" After entering the control tower, he bumped into a group of technicians trapped in electric coils.Renault could understand their desperation, because all the control panels had turned into a mess of snowflakes, and even the coffee kettle was sparking.

"Mr. General, I'm afraid we won't be able to repair these devices in a short time, unless the unheard-of strong interference disappears." A technical soldier wearing an orange flat cap said.

"Trouble won't disappear as soon as the time comes. Fortunately, we just bought a batch of protoss equipment." Renault waved.

Several Revolutionary Army soldiers walked in dragging an exquisitely crafted rectangular box, which was full of crystal clear boxes, each of which was an equilateral cone, and the golden metal shell was inlaid with pearl-like crystals. blue crystals.

"This is the communication crystal of the protoss, each of which is very precious. In view of the past friendship, Tassadar, the high-level executive of the protoss, gave them to us."

"Wow—can we keep them forever?" the engineers' eyes lit up immediately, and one of them, a female Revolutionary Army engineer wrapped in bulky hazmat suits, asked Raynor.

"If you borrow something, you can repay it, but you can take my collection and study it, my dear." Renault was born as a farmer in Shiloh, and he didn't have any pretensions to anyone.Of course, he has always been a person who defies authority.

"Earl, take your people to action. When the protoss gave me these devices, they said that human engineers could fully understand how to use this 'simple' communication device, so they didn't give me the use I asked for. Instructions.—they don't have that kind of thing." He called out before leaving the command center:
"For God's sake, I only hope you're as smart as the protoss think you are."

"It's a piece of cake." Earl is the right-hand man of Rory Swan, the chief engineer of the Revolutionary Army. He once served on the flagship Huberian, and is now the leader of the engineering team who can do his own thing.

"I have to buy you a drink after this matter is settled." Renault rushed out of the command center again.

There's not much point in staying here now that the command center's communications are completely down.Not only that, the strong electromagnetic pulse signal even destroyed the radar equipment of the Revolutionary Army, and the landing troops of the Charles Expeditionary Army returned to the era of primitive people.

"Where is Tassadar's troops? Where are the others?" Renault shouted at Chief of Staff Charles, who was fiddling with a Protoss crystal communicator, gesticulating with one hand:

"He should have been standing by my side not long ago."

"Cowboy, Tassadar is not good at drag racing." Charles shrugged and said, "He has to command the protoss fleet."

"A protoss force is south of us, and as far as I know, they are commanded by Archon Phoenix."

"James Raynor, the people on Earth are marching towards the main nest area of ​​the swarm. The swarm has been completely enraged. They have lost their dominance before, and they will not repeat the same mistakes now." Before Raynor finished speaking, Phoenix appeared beside him .

Phoenix, who was critically wounded early in the Battle of Ayr, is now back in action as a Dragoon.Even with his fortitude bound within this golden spider-mech, the great Phoenix still makes his enemies tremble.

"Their purpose is to dominate—if the Tyrannian Federation had such courage back then, those fringe worlds would have been saved." Lei Nuo lamented that after all, he was a boy from the earth, and the federation's soft bastard would not even dare to fight back when encountering bugs.

"So, what is their confidence?" Charles opened his power armor helmet and looked at Phoenix.The air here is hot and fiery, but still breathable.

"Even Tassadar's fleet can't go deep into the heart of the Zerg's main nest. The blasters in the moat of bones can destroy everything."

"It's still unknown." A holographic image was projected in the cockpit of the Phoenix Dragon Knight armor, showing the picture captured by the protoss detector.

In the picture, a large number of UED expeditionary fleets are fighting against the endless guards of the Zerg main nest. There were so many warships in the UED that they covered half of the sky, while the vast swarm of insects seemed to fill the rest.

The city-sized battlecruisers in the sky used dense laser barrages to harvest the zerg that entered the range of fire, but that was just a drop in the bucket to wipe away the layer of mosquitoes outside the screen window.

One UED battlecruiser after another fell from the sky bathed in flames, sending huge, ugly red clouds across the ash and volcanic lands of Char.

Transport ships and shuttles rained down, and thousands of UED expeditionary soldiers were deployed on the surface of Char. What awaited them were countless grinning brutal zerg and flowing magma.

"Earth humans are deploying a psychic device that presumably appears to be the same psychic disruptor you are using," Phoenix said:

"But their psychic disruptors are far inferior to yours. They can't interfere with the ever-strengthening main hive mind, and they can't affect the spiritual link between the brain worms and their group members, causing them to be in chaos."

In the plans of Lieutenant General Stukov of the UED Expeditionary Force, the Psionic Disruptor was supposed to be the key to their march on Char to control the Overmind.It is expected that the psionic disruptors will destroy the zerg's mind link and throw the zerg into chaos, so that the UED troops can take advantage of the opportunity to inject a large amount of high-energy neurotoxin into the master and control this terrifying monster.

This is Project Flag of the United Earth Council.

However, although the Federation was the first to discover the mind of the main hive and use this characteristic to restrict the characteristics of the Zerg, they ignored these amazingly powerful weapons at the beginning, so that a lot of precious time was wasted.

On the contrary, Augustus attached great importance to this technology from the Federation, and the application and upgrade of the psionic technology of the Revolutionary Army was far ahead of the Federation.

Due to the "abuse" of the psychic jammers by the Revolutionary Army, the Federation's outdated psychic jammers have no effect at all, just like outdated antibiotics that are helpless against superbugs.

The people on Earth have been monitoring the Koprulu star area, but the psychic jammers have always been a secret of the Federation, and they can't understand the generational difference between the Revolutionary Army's psychic jammers and the Federation.

"What version are their psionic disruptors?" Raynor asked Charles.

"According to my guess, their psychic jammers should still be in the testing stage and have just passed the prototype weapon experiment stage. Lieutenant General Stukov of the UED should have made a lot of modifications to it, but it still doesn't help." Charles replied.

"It's not our fault." Renault had nothing to say.

According to the original timeline, the psychic jammer played a vital role when the UED expeditionary force invaded Char, but now it is just a tasteless tasteless rib.

In this timeline, not only did the protoss retain more strength, but many powerful cerebrates also escaped disaster because they were unable to break into Sacoolas, so they were also stronger than the UED expeditionary force thought.

The UED Expeditionary Force originally came at a time when the Protoss and the Zerg were both in danger, but because of Augustus' interference, the difficulty of their original plan suddenly increased many times.

"From this point of view, if there is no other trump card, it is only a matter of time before these earthlings are devoured by the Zerg." Renault looked at Phoenix's holographic projection and said, he could almost imagine UED expeditionary force commander Gerald Dugal The black face after learning about this.

"Now it seems that since the UED expeditionary force has sent such a large fleet to Char, what will they use to guard the land they have already occupied. As long as this news reaches Augustus, he will immediately start a war with the UED !"

"By the way, Phoenix, have you met Tosh, the Prince of Blades?" Renault suddenly asked Phoenix: "Tosh promised to work with us to eliminate the Juggernaut and the cerebrate, but since coming here, I haven't seen him at all. .”

"Tosh, where are you, you're not even in Char!"

Since Tosh the Blade Prince suddenly appeared in Sacoolas and informed the protoss of the birth of the new master, Tosh and his Behemoth disappeared without a trace.

"I have a hunch." Renault said, looking at the UED fleet that was struggling with Char, frowning.

"The next all-out war involving the entire Koprulu sector is coming, and the protoss, humans, and zerg will all be beaten to death again."
