StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 674 Brave New World

On the synchronous orbit of Ketil IV, a huge fleet is gathering, and from time to time, new imperial warships jump out of the hyperspace channel and sail into the majestic and majestic shadows of layers of ships.Among the majestic battlecruisers, more and smaller escort ships were shuttling at high speed, and the scene was very spectacular.

The three rings stacked in series on the towering bows of these warships indicate that they belong to the Mobius Legion of the Tyrannian Empire. The black and red-based painting is significantly different from other imperial fleets.The Moebius circle symbolizes the endless search for knowledge, while the black and red represent steel and blood.

Even among the military forces of the Tyranid Empire, the Morbius Legion has always been little known.All Mobius battlecruisers are cast in unpublished Imperial shipyards, and their battleship casting processes are also different. The most special thing is that all Mobius battleships use the more efficient Mobius reactor. (Moebius reactor) technology.

As time goes by, the number of Moebius battleships on Ketir IV's orbit increases.There are only twelve full-stacked naval squadrons, and the number of attached escort support ships and auxiliary supply ships is more than a thousand, and it is still increasing.

Among them, the domineering and shocking silhouette of the white star, the imperial flagship, like a forest of naval guns, is particularly eye-catching.

This is a Gorgon-class flagship-class imperial battleship.It is known that the Gorgon-class battlecruiser is larger than all previous battleships, and the White Star is above all Gorgon in terms of size and firepower.

The White Star is the pride of the Tyrannian Empire Navy in this era. Her thick protective armor and powerful shield force field are far superior to those of warships of the same level, which are enough to ignore most of the enemy's attack methods. The naval guns and main guns equipped are undoubtedly It is also the largest magnificent cannon so far.

As the new flagship of the empire, the resources invested by the empire in building the White Star are enough to build six Gorgon battlecruisers of the same level. The bar, medical and living facilities on board are comparable to luxury hotels, and even All are able to provide the luxury of hot showers.

At this moment, Augustus Mengsk is on the bridge of this world-renowned flagship of the new empire.

"The coordinates of the Altarion Rift have been uploaded to the White Star's star map console." The mechanical adjutant's voice broke the silence on the bridge.

An unpredictable holographic flash was immediately projected on the base of the White Star's star map platform carved with wolf-shaped reliefs. In the background of the brilliant nebula projected by the three-dimensional image, a gap between the void and the world has already formed.

"We've never heard of this place." Raynor looked at the star map projection, and then at Zeratul.

"The Altarion Rift is located between the gaps in the universe, which contains a terrible flow of high-energy particles." Zeratul said to Raynor: "The power contained in the Altarion Rift is so ruthless that it is enough to crush any who enter objects in it."

"In our perception, that's a place where life is impossible."

"But the Xel'Naga artifact guided us there." Augustus paused: "According to Karax's previous interpretation, that is the place where Urna, the hometown of Xel'Naga in the legend of the protoss, is located. .”

Karax didn't follow, and continued to research the Xel'Naga artifact in the Skegel Research Station.And obviously, he was so disappointed with the previous answer that he worked even more sleeplessly.

Before further confirming the authenticity, even Augustus and Zeratul could not convince Karax.

If Urna is indeed in the Altarion rift where life is considered impossible by the protoss, then all cosmology of the protoss has ceased to exist.

"The Xel'Naga came from a place where life could not exist in the first place, that is the void." Zeratul said in a low voice, "Urna"

"The cradle that breeds all life, the resting place of the gods, and the hometown of the Sarnagas." He said: "In the legends of the protoss, Urna presents a mythical perfect proportion, and it may be an unparalleled planet , or man-made structures as large as planets."

"In other legends, the doomed race will seek ascension in Urna, and they only need to show up here to open the way ahead."

"If the legend is true, then Xel'Naga may be sleeping in Urna, waiting for the latecomers to wake it up."

"Of course the style of 'gods' cannot be the same as that of ordinary people." Renault complained, "But since it's so dangerous inside, how can we get in."

"It's precisely such a place that may contain treasures." Arcturus said lightly.

Based on Arcturus’ years of experience in prospecting for mineral deposits, risks and opportunities coexist, and those who achieve great things must be proficient in calculations and take risks at every step.

Isn't that how the Mengsk family's Tyrannian Empire came about.

"So." Augustus looked around and made a final decision: "We should take a look."

"Well, I got a report that there is a scientific research team of a scientific ship nearby. Anyway, let's use the detector to explore first." Lei Nuo is an actionist, thinking that he will not know if he will succeed if he doesn't try: "If The probe can still come back, and then send people in."

"Do this for the time being." Augustus paced a few steps on the spot: "To be on the safe side, we'll call Duke's Alpha Squadron to guard the entrance of the Ottarian rift. Tell him not to enter the rift until he is ordered."

"In such a dangerous environment as the Ottarian Rift, I'm afraid even the information cannot be transmitted to the outside."

While speaking, Augustus rarely showed hesitation on his face.

Considering the close alliance between the Tyrann Empire and the Protoss of Dharam, it is difficult for Augustus to hide such an important matter.

After all, the protoss on Aiur have always claimed to be the eldest son of the gods, so they must have attached great importance to Urna.And it is safer to have them participate in this matter, because Augustus is unable to determine the real situation in Urna now, and it may be difficult to bear.

On the one hand, Urna will reveal several important information in advance, one is the truth of endless reincarnation, and the other is the "death news" of the Naganagas.

Perhaps, this information may convince the Protoss that the end is really imminent and give up the plan to restore Aiur.Although even if the expedition to Al was abandoned, Kara of the Al Protoss would still have to be hacked by Eamon, and the controlled Golden Fleet might directly attack Sacoolas.

Since it is impossible to confirm the attitude and reaction of the Dalam protoss, Augustus can only take one step at a time.Anyway, he still has the hole cards in his hand, and he is not afraid that there is no way, but that the timeline changes and variables will increase.

On the other hand, if you think about it, you can understand that, as the residence of the Nagar, Urnari may have the "inheritance" of the Nagar.

Anyway, Naganaga's legacy must be divided.

Even those "corpses" of Naganaga are undoubtedly real treasures.

Of course, Augustus also admitted that it is indeed tempting to monopolize Urna, but part of it will not only help to consolidate the alliance between the Tyrann Empire and the Dharam Protoss, but also will not make the other party feel bad.

If human beings want to eat all of them, they will inevitably die, and even if they only get a part of the Sael'Naga heritage, it may take several generations to digest it.

"Also." He thought for a while and then said: "Send a separate briefing to Tassadar, the archbishop of the Protoss in Dharam, informing the connection between the Ottarian Rift and Urna."

"No, I'll do it myself."

Among the Protoss of Dharam, only Tassadar, Phoenix, and Artanis were the only ones that Augustus really trusted.Communicating directly with wise leaders will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

"Then do we still have to go to the Sigma sector now?" Renault nodded and asked again.

Since they can go directly to Xel'Naga, what prophecy is there to look for.

"Don't worry." Augustus said, "Let's go to the Sigma sector first."

It's hard to say, after all, Augustus knew that there were actually only one corpse left in Urna.Considering that Amon may have already stuffed Urnari with hybrids, more imperial fleets must be summoned, and they will explore after they are fully prepared.

"Just now, I received warnings from outposts in many places that the Tadarin protoss is approaching our newly opened colony in the Sigma sector." He continued: "There are reports that hybrid figures have appeared among these Tadarin protoss .”

As if in response to what Augustus said, the holographic image on the Star Chart Platform was frozen in a vast sea of ​​stars amidst the changing light and shadow.In it, every tiny speck of light represents one or more dazzling stars.

For the Tyrannic humans in the Koprulu sector, the Sigma sector is a brand new world, a virgin land waiting to be developed, a place of treasure like a paradise.If successful, the Sigma sector will become a precious flower that blooms on the barren land at the edge of the galaxy.

The star region is an artificially divided geographical concept, and compared to the center of the Milky Way, the Sigma star region appears to be sparsely populated, dark and barren.But even so, many habitable planets have been discovered during the years of exploration, and the proven mineral reserves are quite amazing, enough to support the establishment of large colonies.

And the more colonies you have, the more fleets the empire can build and support.

"Taldarin I have seen them in many temple worlds and hybrid factories." Zeratul said: "They regard Amon as a god."

"If Amon returns to the world, Tal'darin will be the harbinger of darkness."

"These protoss really linger," said Arcturus.

"I think." Augustus looked at Zeratul and said softly, "Zeratul, this is the harbinger of the doomsday battle."

Outside the bridge of the White Star, the assembled fleet of the Moebius Legion is gathering around the flagship, waiting for the order to set sail again.

Up to now, the capital ships of the Moebius Legion have exceeded 220, and they are all Minotaur-class battlecruisers built in the new era, of which there are 29 Gorgons.Thousands of ships of various types gathered, moved, and waited for the order to set sail.

After a while, the Sigma sector.

The Atrias system (Atrias) is located in the Sigma sector, known to be a world belonging to the Tal'darin protoss.At the same time, this galaxy is also one of the main battlegrounds between the Tyranid Empire and the Tadarin protoss in the Sigmar sector.

At this moment, the situation in the Atreis galaxy changed suddenly, and a large number of imperial fleets appeared on the edge of the galaxy and marched towards the only planet in the galaxy, Atreis.This fleet probably has nearly 100 battlecruisers, more than 400 Wagray frigates and liberators, and numerous troop carriers.

The Sigma "∑" logo with a green background and a white border on these imperial warships indicates that the Tyrann Empire deployed a garrison fleet in the Sigmar sector to defend the empire's colonies and trade routes in the area.

A fleet of this size will only be assembled when a large-scale battle comes. Generally speaking, the large fleet will be dispersed into squadron-sized squadrons to maintain the safety of various worlds and waterways.In peacetime, the main responsibilities of these remote colonial squadrons are to destroy pirates, round up smuggling ships and combat illegal colonial activities.

The fleet of the Tyrannian Empire will also take on more responsibilities, such as providing disaster relief assistance to newly established colonies, rescuing colonial ships and merchant ships in distress, drawing accurate navigation charts, and so on.

But once the war comes, all the fleets will regroup under the command of the Marshal of the Empire to meet the foreign enemies.

In response to the arrival of the Imperial fleet in the Atreis system, the mothership of Tal'darin jumped in.As Imperial warships fire mercilessly, a war between humans and protoss is imminent.

Atreis originally belonged to the territory of the Tadalin Protoss. Obviously, the Tyrann Empire was actively attacking rather than passively defending.

Since the colonists of the Tyrannian Empire began to enter the Sigma sector in 2500, large-scale colonization with official organization and endorsement began.In the following three years, the footprints of humans in the Tyranid Empire quickly covered one-tenth of the Sigma sector, and more than 100 large and small colonies were successively established.

In the different worlds of the Sigma Star Region, in the ocean planets with vast oceans, in the verdant jungle worlds, in the cold and cold tundra planets, and in the desert worlds with flying sand and gravel, colonies of different sizes follow the The arrival of human colonists in London rose from the ground.

Since the first time humans set foot on these lands, the fire of civilization has been rising.

In order to compete for land and resources, the conflict between the humans of the expanding Tyrannian Empire and the native Tadarim is naturally on the verge of breaking out, and new and old scores are settled together.

This is the rule of the non-civilized world. The Tyrann Empire is by no means a cowardly old federation. They never escape from war and dare to show their swords to any powerful enemy.

As for the Tadarin protoss, this branch of protoss who believes that peace is nothing but war and pain is the main theme gladly accepts the challenge of humans, because they have now determined that only war can please their gods.

Even in the entire Sigma sector, this is not the first time the two sides have fought each other.In Atriaes, without any negotiation or diplomatic ultimatum, the Tyrann Empire made it easy for the Tadarin protoss to fight.

　In the past two days, my sleep has collapsed again, and my heart is tired.

　　I thought about it, but I couldn't sleep anyway, and I was able to code in the early morning.
