StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 647 Yaden is here, the one who fights for the inheritance is here

"Purifier Protoss." Kerrigan, who was sitting on the other side, also noticed this message: "Haven't they been sealed by the Protoss Empire as restricted weapons?"

The Purifier Protoss are a unique branch of the many Protoss factions and a monument to the glorious ancient technology of the Protoss Empire.The plan aims to digitize the memory and personality of the legendary heroes of the protoss and upload them to the forged mechanical host body, so as to preserve the way of thinking and decision-making ability of the target body during its lifetime.Duplicates can achieve 99.3% similarity with memory primaries, almost identical.

With the support of this technology, the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire can continuously reproduce the greatest warriors in the history of the empire, and manufacture mass-produced mechanical warriors controlled by artificial intelligence on a large scale.That is to say, as long as there are enough mechanical platforms, manufacturing matrices, and construction materials, the Purifiers will continuously produce new fighters, thereby overwhelming the enemy in numbers.

This is the Purifier Protoss, a mechanical protoss that is an exact replica of a Protoss warrior.In fact, this can already be regarded as an independent Protoss race, and even has the characteristics of developing another civilization, but the people who created them did not realize this.

This protoss faction is composed of a huge class of fighters, and their memory personality replicas are equivalent to immortality. Even if the host body that originally carried their consciousness data body is destroyed, they can be resurrected in another body .

The Purifiers have been born for war, the only mission they have ever known.

"Obviously, this kind of seal is not secure." Augustus put away the holographic screen: "Or, someone secretly sabotaged it."

"The Purifier Protoss." Louis looked up and asked Augustus, "Is it a protoss like Talandar?"

Since returning to Korhal from Glacius with the Tyranid Empire fleet, Talandar has been staying inside the Augustograd Palace.Usually this old man is in some kind of standby state, and only occasionally goes out for a stroll to see what the human world is like.

Then, Augustus thought of a possibility: "Maybe, Orega is playing tricks again."

"So I made a mistake." Kerrigan admitted his mistake to Louis: "Talandar is a mechanical templar."

As long as there is still talk, there is still room for maneuver.

"Why do we have to fight them?" Louis pointed to his eyes, the long gray eyelashes trembling.

"The protoss can live for a long time, but the digitalized protoss consciousness is immortal. As long as the data in the memory bank is not damaged, the purifiers will not forget any trivial matter." Augustus pointed this out:
"In other words, they hold grudges to death."

Augustus didn't even expect Louis to understand, but maybe many years later, the future queen of the Tyranid Empire would still remember what his father said at this time.

Considering the hatred between the Purifier Protoss and the Protoss Empire, Augustus can guess Orega's plan.

Eventually, an uprising and rebellion broke out between the Purifier Protoss and their creator.

The people on these colony ships are only the first batch of immigrants on the future planet, and their task is only to initially establish a settlement that can accommodate immigrants.By the time the settlements became self-sufficient, the second wave of settlers had almost arrived.

There is a huge super colonial mothership still in boarding state, riding the rising automatic gangway, the immigrants who are preparing to go to the new world of their dreams gather densely into a black trickle.

"They are mechanical protoss, but not the kind of robots that the Terra Consortium makes. The protoss have a much better way of creating the purifier protoss." Kerrigan added: "The equivalent of human-conscious robots, living Humanity."

But for the Purifier Protoss, they don't even have to pay attention to and care about the attitude of Tassadar and the Council of Light and Shadow.The Purifiers can withdraw from all disputes to find their own freedom.

"Because most of the time, we have to," Augustus said to his daughter.

"Perhaps the situation is not so irretrievable," Kerrigan said. "Just trust Tassadar."

And now, the new Imperial government has outlawed Sirion's sweatshops and established a world based on Imperial law and order.

"Understood." Faraday nodded expressionlessly, and put away the personal terminal and digital recorder in his hand.

To paraphrase Tychus, you'll never know how many strange things live in Augustgrad's palace.

"Hopefully it's not too late," Kerrigan said.

Orega doesn't even need a complicated plan, he just needs to wake up the sleeping Purifier Protoss and pretend to be Al Protoss to attack them, and then wait to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

When the enemy has already sent troops to the border, even if he keeps saying that he is friendly, it is really difficult to convince the generals and the people of the empire.

In the old federal era, Sirion's reputation was not very good, even now it is not much better.In those years when they were cast aside by others, the entrepreneurs of Sirion gained wealth by signing unequal contracts with their employees, and made a fortune through cruel exploitation and squeezing.

The Purifiers have been doing their job throughout, asking for nothing but respect.

Sirion is a developed imperial world, with endless industrial buildings on the surface of the planet shrouded in thick fog all year round.

At present, although the Purifier Protoss has caused a new series of turmoil on the border of the Tyrannian Empire, fortunately, human beings do not seem to be counted among the enemies they believe must be "purified".

"They are already creators who give life to machines." Augustus said: "The Purifier Protoss is a mechanical protoss, a mechanical life with a digitalized consciousness, but as Kerax said, how can we humans Isn’t it a machine made of countless precision parts?”

And the remaining Purifier Protoss was also sealed in their mothership Sebros, which had been cut off power, and exiled to the vast deep space.

Each colony mothership carried 10 people, frozen embryos of all known human domesticated livestock and seeds of crops.Most of the immigrants came from those Imperial worlds that were either barren or destroyed by the zerg, and few Korha people with stable lives would join this doomed unknown crusade.

"Lorcadia, how far is it from us?" Kerrigan asked.

But this matter is not something that Augustus can stop. After all, what does he know about Emperor Augustus?
At this time, the emperor's special plane had already flew over the Aurora Airport and was preparing to land, and the warships that had been left behind were still so huge that they seemed to be overturned mountains.

In ancient times, the Purifier Protoss were treated like slaves by their creators, as the rulers of the Protoss Empire regarded these warriors not as thinking beings but as tools in their hands.They also ignored the most important point, that is, the copied legendary heroes also naturally inherited the dignity and pride of the memory primarchs as fighters.

But this is still a powerful and ancient protoss faction with great war potential that is recovering under the noses of the Tyranid Empire. Regardless of whether its true intentions will be detrimental to humans, Augustus and the imperial government will never ignore it This potentially huge threat.

"Yes, Your Majesty." General Brody replied immediately.

"We must divert our fleet to meet the new threat in the northern sector."

"Talandar said he is not a mechanical protoss." Louis was always serious about this: "He said he was a mechanical templar!"

"The ancient Purifiers were once enslaved and oppressed by the Supreme Council, and they hated the Templars extremely." He paused: "Once the Purifiers recover again, it is inevitable that the new and old hatreds will be counted together."

"Faraday, don't add these words to the "Quotations of the Great Emperor", understand?" At this moment, Augustus suddenly thought of something again, and turned his head to remind the captain of the royal guard who was sitting behind.

"Unless Tassadar can prove that the Dalam protoss will no longer enslave the purifiers like the Supreme Council." Augustus is not optimistic about this: "But even if the purifiers stop fighting here, they may not join Dalam Rahm. In fact, I think the odds are pretty low right now."

"The Purifiers want revenge?" Kerrigan looked at Augustus. "But the protoss who enslaved them may be long gone."

"In fact, it may have already happened. Lorcadia is a world of the Protoss Empire." Augustus reminded Kerrigan.

"War is not an end, it is a means." He said: "If diplomacy can solve the problem, I would rather my people do not have to shed blood.

Augustus imagined this scene in his mind: a group of unearthed mechanical protoss rushed into Aiur to reclaim their inheritance.This is not necessarily not going to happen.

"General Jack Brody ("Cactus" Jack Brody), summon all Imperial Admiralty officials." Another screen lit up in front of Augustus, opposite an Imperial soldier with a terrible scar on his right eye :

"The nearest is Cirion." Augustus replied: "We have a large military force stationed in Cirion, and we don't have to worry too much about the threat of the Purifiers."

"If the Dahram protoss of Tassadar and the Purifier protoss were bloody again, no one would know," Kerrigan said.

Augustus knew in his heart that the Purifier protoss did not trust their flesh and blood compatriots, and vowed never to return to that era of slavery and oppression.If it wasn't for the doomsday, they would rather go out independently than unite with the Dalam protoss.

Below the Aurora Airport, warships, fighter planes, and transport spaceships are rumbling up, and the ups and downs between the launch track and the apron are like surging seas and deep valleys.

When encountering such a thing, Augustus first thought of Emon and Narud, and then the dark consul Orega.

"Human beings are still very weak. In this galaxy, in this universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies, it is inconspicuous. Diplomacy and peace are only built on giant ships with cannons."

Based on Sirion's important industrial output, the Tyranid Empire stationed a large number of military forces on this planet to guard this important imperial world.

Kerrigan had learned from Tassadar and many high-ranking templars the secrets of controlling psionic power, and in the eyes of the Augustus family, Tassadar, Zeratul, and Phoenix were not so much friends as friends. It's half a relative.

"A few months ago, Orega's servants attacked the restarted Purifier project facilities on the Protoss Empire and Glacius." Augustus said: "It is likely that I took this opportunity to learn about the ancient Purifier Protoss The archived coordinates."

The conflict between the Purifier Protoss and their creators is almost irresolvable, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the situation is overwhelming.

This mechanical rebellion unleashed a terrible tragedy, bringing countless carnage and death.After the rebellion was suppressed, the rulers of the shocked Protoss Empire believed that intelligent machines with independent consciousness and self-personality were too dangerous, and ordered to stop all artificial intelligence research.

After that, there will be a third and a fourth batch, depending on the further evaluation of these colonies by the imperial colonial department.And when the organizational structure of the colony has tended to be perfected, and all affairs have entered a stable rolling development mode of the imperial colony, the official immigration will be completely suspended.

At this time, even if you don't make a move first, you must deploy military forces on the border sufficient to deal with this threat.

"Just as long as you understand." Augustus doubted that Faraday didn't understand at all.These words may not be included in the Great Emperor's Quotations, but they may appear in some more serious places, such as in the propaganda airship broadcast of the Empire.

As the "successor of the will of Adun", Tassadar deserves to be the great leader of the Protoss in this era, but the Purifier Protoss may not accept this set. ——Although the Purifier's way of thinking is not as absolutely rational and efficient as a real machine.

"Yes, Talandar may have been the only Purifier who was still awake in the world." Augustus was pleasantly surprised to realize that with Talandar, the Tyranid Empire had the ability to communicate with those ancient Purifiers. way.

At this time, the colony will officially become a world under the rule of the Tyranid Empire, gaining limited autonomy.Then, this newborn colony will become another dam built by human beings in this cruel universe to resist the crisis of genocide.

Of course, the premise is that the people in these colonies survive the unknown environment in the new world, including the possible emergence of powerful viruses or the "other immune systems" that come with the planet, or perish from internal chaotic management and external blows .Until the colony is able to function on its own, thriving even without the support of its home planet, it cannot be counted as truly independent.

As for those colonists who died before then, the Tyranid Empire had nothing to do but mourn.After wiping away the tears, the next batch of colonists will still set off.

In the era of interstellar colonization, to put it bluntly, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed for the survival of the race, and this is also their choice.
