StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 551 Viking Fighter
The Imperial flagship Hyperion is the most majestic warship Easter Foss has ever seen. The three-hundred-foot-high hammer-shaped vertical bow seems to be floating on the towering glaciers on the ocean. The top deck and sides are thickened and bright silver The heaviness and oppressiveness of the vanadium alloy armor hits the face.

She is the emperor's cruising and palace in the sea of ​​stars, and the interior is like a luxurious palace.The open bridge corridor, the carpeted aisle, the internal ladder enough to accommodate many people, and the reliefs of wolves and eagles also opened up Easter's eyes. He can see new equipment every day here new instrument.

In the UNN documentary and the recruitment promotional video of the Imperial Navy Department, the interior layout of the Hyperion is no secret, but the promotional picture and actual contact are completely different things.

After the Federation Zionists in Veritya Star Province were completely wiped out, Easter boarded the Hyperion and embarked on a journey to Korha to study.

On the Hyperion, Easter was lucky enough to be allocated a single cabin and enjoy the treatment of a cadet sailor, and he regarded this as the care of General Matt Horner.

It's just that Easter didn't see General Horner much after boarding the Hyperion.I heard that he urgently called a meeting, announcing that the sailors were scheduled to spend their holidays on Viridia instead on Tyrador IX, and they would stay behind closed doors in the captain's cabin.

In any case, General Matt Horner spent his life's ingenuity evading the pursuit of his fiancée, bypassing Viridia Prime, and rushing directly to Korhal.

About Matt Horner and General Mira Han's love-hate relationship, Easter has heard a lot from the grinning Hyperion crew.Thanks to the title of battle hero, the ship's crew quickly regarded the young officer academy cadet as family.

To be precise, Mira Han has a deep affection for Matt Horner, but the former is not the type that the latter likes, so this has evolved into a one-sided chase.However, for an honest man like General Horner, who is so steady and so serious in his work, a woman who is too enthusiastic and too detached is unbearable.

This became a rare thing for the crew of the Hyperion to tease General Horner, and the boring and talkative sailors liked to watch the chief have fun.

Easter’s life on the ship can be considered fulfilling and interesting. He has his own job, and he has to get up on time every day to clean the decks with the recruits, and the rest of the time he has to help the chef in the upper kitchen, without a single meal. Rice is free.

This day was November 2497, 11. According to the logbook, the Hyperion was already very close to the Korha galaxy, the throne world of the Empire.The radio from the starship grew louder as it approached the main channel.

At 19:37 onboard time, in the armory in cabin 12, Easter, who was wearing orange overalls, was driving a trailer to move parts boxes on the bottom platform, surrounded by flashes of electric welding and machinery waiting to be upgraded.

The most notable ones are the two Viking fighter jets under maintenance. Every time he sees them, Easter will admire them from the bottom of his heart.The Vikings have two modes, air fighter/mech mode, which means these beasts of the sky can descend to the ground to fight alongside the marines.

The last time Easter saw Viking fighters was at an air show on TV. Once these beautiful and domineering new fighters appeared, they gained countless fans, and because of this, he once wanted to apply for the Imperial Air Force Academy, but was very disappointed. Too bad it was scrapped in the end.

The A2 heavy machinery hybrid - the Viking fighter was finalized in the Valhalla Prototype Weapons Laboratory, and was fully equipped with all armies in the second year of the empire's establishment. Now it is the absolute main fighter of the empire.

It adopts a central reactor and interchangeable servo system design, equipped with four sets of bypass turbines and a set of propellers located on the belly, and is also equipped with MT50 torpedoes and death heat missiles. The Trincannon blasts any enemy of the Empire to pieces.

The Viking fighter is another model of the military engineering of the Tyranid Empire. It is a masterpiece born for pure killing. It is the pinnacle of human manned combat system design. No other weapon has such flexibility and deterrence.It is a war machine made of all alloys, and it is like the wrath of God when it falls from the sky.

The pride of Age of Empires technology, the most cutting-edge and deadliest warplane, the Viking is known for its savage speed and astonishing firepower.The Imperial Navy had high hopes for this new type of fighter, and Admiral Edmund Duke even declared that a Viking fighter could handle a Ultralisk.

In the era of the Tyrannian Empire, fighter jets were not as scarce as they used to be, but Viking pilots were a rarity.

Maybe driving a multi-ton Viking fighter jet from high altitude to transform into a mech mode is extremely chic and cool, but this tricky flying action must be mastered by the elite among the elite.Piloting these raging beasts of the sky is so difficult that most pilots die on their first attempt.

Those who can fly Viking fighters are the elite of the elite, because they must be proficient in fighting in the sky and on the ground at the same time, and they must be able to fly fighters and operate land mechs.

Even so, the number of Viking fighters is large enough to appear on various battlefields of the Empire.The Viking has become a symbol of the era of the Tyrannian Empire, and the Wraith Fighter, which was still dominant when it first came out, also seems outdated.

Nowadays, the technology of Viking fighters is very mature, and various models are blooming like a hundred flowers. For example, the Archangel model is a super Viking, which is even bigger in size, comparable to a battleship.Of course, the Army also has its own superweapons.It is said that a super mech Titan (Terra-tron) is being secretly developed.

"Foss, come and help me transport these mine mules to the warehouse. Dude, move them lightly. It took me a lot of hard work to fix them." Milo Kachinsky (Milo Kachinsky) ) The current Chief Engineer of the Hyperion.

Milo Kaczynski is the younger brother of Victor Kaczynski, who came from Moria last year to join his brother.Since Rory Swann and Victor were transferred to Augustgrad one after another, the engineers of the original Hyperion Engineering Corps were sent to the various imperial fleets as the backbone of the engineering teams. The emperor made the final decision and appointed A young Milo served as Chief Engineer of Hyperion.

The newly appointed Miro took a fancy to Easter's talent in mechanical engineering, so he asked him to help.In just two weeks, Easter has experienced things that many people have never had access to in their lifetime.

"They're always easy to break." Easter drove the trailer to Miro's side, and waited for the trailer to be hooked up to the car.

"The mules are still in the experimental stage, and they are often sent to dangerous areas where space engineering vehicles are difficult to operate." Milo is a young Moriaan with dark brown hair and eyes, and he also has the ruthlessness of his age. Unruly, far less calm than his brother.

"Look, the last time Ross broke a Raven, it cost thirty months' salary to build. If Polly hadn't spent two days fixing it, that guy would be in trouble."

"Although the collection efficiency of the mules is amazing, they always consume energy very quickly, and they will stop after a while." Milo said to Easter: "For this reason, I am considering increasing the battery life—— But that will inevitably greatly increase the cost, so the loss outweighs the gain.”

"The advantage of the mine mule is that it can harvest ten times and a hundred times the minerals at a very low cost. If the cost is increased, why don't I use the combined planetary excavator."

Mine mules, the full name of which is a multifunctional lunar excavator, often use the newly developed airdrop pods to drop them into ore veins.

A large number of mine mules can hollow out an entire mine vein in a very short time, and when the shadows of a few mine mules appear on the high-altitude orbit, it is enough to make the allies of the empire go into a rage.

In addition, the Mining Mule was highly affirmed by Marshal Jim Raynor, who believed that this new type of mining robot would significantly improve the competitiveness of the Imperial Army on the battlefield.

The Mule is a favorite of Marshal Renault.

"Poor Miro, why don't you build a super mule, big is good, and tonnage is justice." Although Easter had only met Miro for a short time, the two of them had a good relationship.This may be because most of the engineering teams are uncle-level figures, and there are very few young people.

"That's why I didn't build an upgraded mining truck, we don't have that big of a drop pod—Ky-Morian pretty much has the road ahead when it comes to mining technology."

"You don't have to be so anxious." Easter drove away the trailer: "You are still very young."

"Go and rest after you're done." Milo shrugged his shoulders, "If it wasn't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't ask you either."

"It's also for salary." Easter said with a smile: "Although Stilling students are not only exempted from all tuition fees and scholarships, but I also need money to do other things."

After finishing the work, Easter, who was in a good mood, took a shower in the sonic bathroom on deck 5, and then went to the upper restaurant to prepare meals. Everything was done with ease.Easter had to read the Hyperion Crew Manual when he first boarded the ship, but now he is used to the rules on the ship.

Compared with the small cabin of the Bedford, which is only [-] feet wide, the dining room of the Hyperion is really too luxurious. The red carpet on the floor, the chandeliers on the table and the classic paintings are a piece of classical art. breath.

This behemoth-class battlecruiser originally belonged to the Federation, but after being repaired and upgraded by the United States of Umoyan, it became the first battleship of the Korha Revolutionary Army, and its interior decoration was done by Arcturus Designed by Prince Mengsk, it is said to be exactly the same as the holiday estate of the Mengsk family in the past.

In contrast, the interiors of other newly built battlecruisers are cold and simple with a practical industrial style. It is no wonder that Huberian is always the object of publicity.But this ship is the flagship of the emperor, and the crew are basically veterans and royal guards from the revolutionary army era, so it is not so easy to enter.

When I walked into the restaurant, there were only a few engineers who had just got off work.Soldiers and engineers eat at staggered times, otherwise it should be much more lively at this time.The kitchen basically provides hot food and water 24 hours a day, and some even lament that the conditions are much better than in the past.

When the Hyperion was at its worst, the salaries of the crew could not be paid, and Rory Swan even had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall during maintenance.

And Huberian is also because the hull was built earlier, and the current Minotaur-class battlecruiser has several different restaurants, which are used for the crew of different positions to eat.The fleet is the sword of Damocles for maintaining order in the Tyrannian Empire, and the navy's food allowance is much better than that of the marines.

Easter grabs some grilled chicken with noodles and a vegetable salad and sits down at a table while a holographic projection screen in the center of the restaurant plays the latest news.These news are all reviewed, and most of them are related to politics and military affairs.

The hottest news recently is about the Zionists. Princess Dorothy in military uniform appeared on the homepages of major media.Easter was very happy to learn that the captain of the Bedford, King, was rescued safely. Last time he appeared in the news, he praised the reliability of the imperial army.

The Empire did not hide the existence of the Federal Zionists, and the consequences of this incident were far more than that.The emergence of the Federal Zionist organization directly prompted the empire to make changes to the laws of the waterway, and invested tens of billions of imperial credit coins to increase the law and order of the waterway.

Suddenly, a piece of news made Easter frowned. The spokesperson of the empire announced the discovery of a new mutant species of Zerg named Baneling. They first appeared in Anselm (Anselm). The springtails infected by local native fungi mutated.

Banelings are described as bloated, hideous monsters filled with hideous acid, and it only takes a few to destroy an Imperial outpost.

This news made Easter deeply disturbed. Unsurprisingly, with the rapid development of the empire's military technology today, the Zerg is also constantly evolving.Sooner or later, the tactics and weapons used to deal with the zerg will become obsolete.

Not only the Zerg, but the Protoss are also speeding up the development of their own military technology, and the progress in two or three years has far exceeded that of the past dozen centuries.Dalam Archbishop Tassadar strives to bring the military power of the protoss back to the level of the golden age.

The war in the future will be even bigger and more tragic, and Easter can't help worrying about her sister and her future child.

No matter what, the Federal Zionists will never succeed, because once the Tyranid Empire collapses, tens of billions of Tyranids will fall into an extremely miserable situation.

"Foss—I heard from the adjutant that you are here." At this moment, General Matt Horner, whom he had not seen for a long time, walked towards Easter from the open restaurant door.

"General!" Easter hurriedly stood up and saluted, while sucking the noodles out of his mouth hastily.

"The Hyperion has arrived in the Korha galaxy. Next, she will dock at the Usa shipyard on the Korhal satellite for necessary maintenance work." The general said, "I will arrange a spaceship to take you to Augu Stegler, so you can make it to the commencement ceremony in time."

"Thank you, General." Easter did not expect that the General would not only remember this matter, but also come to inform him personally.

"It's easy to do..." The general's face was not very good.

"What's wrong with you?" Easter saw it.

"I heard that Mira is in Augustegrad, and it seems that I was tricked by her again... She didn't go to Veridia at all!" Tell you this, and you don't understand what it means..."

"Go." He sighed deeply.

It suddenly occurred to Easter that the reason why the general stayed at the Usa shipyard was because he was afraid to go to Augustegrad.

He wanted to laugh, but it was disrespectful to General Horna.

　I was autistic for a day yesterday, almost depressed. Family affairs are unpredictable
　　Thanks to the leader of the high-speed bucks!Seeing it is really refreshing!
