Chapter 387: Molecular tearing! Psychic storm! Using the gods to control the universe!
In the command center of the Dreadnought, Terrence looked at Paul with a serious expression and asked, "Those Darram Protoss don't trust us. We may have to be careful when cooperating with them."
As an old marshal who has participated in many interstellar battles in the universe and dealt with many alien civilizations.
Terrence could sense from Lugia's attitude that the Protoss camp viewed humans as ants.
It seems that even the qualification to participate in the war was bestowed by the Darram Protoss to the giant corporations in the universe.
"With their limited manpower, they can't cause any big trouble. Since these Protoss are willing to rush in front of us and die, let them go."
Paul appears indifferent. Whether it is a civilization or an individual, if they get involved in the bad habit of arrogance, they will always pay a heavy price.
"What I'm most worried about now is that they will make peace in the end and then turn around and fight us. If that happens, we'll be in trouble," Terrence said with a frown.
After all, Tal'darim and Dar'am are both civilized species, and their blood relationship is definitely closer than that of humans.
If at that time Naion suddenly gives in and pretends to be a grandson, and joins forces with the Darram Protoss Fleet to deal with the Universe Corporation, the losses of the Corporation will probably be beyond expectations!
The reason why Terrence asked this was not because he was too worried, but because he had indeed encountered such a terrible thing.
The Universal Corporation helped the members of the Trade Circle Civilization to quell the civil unrest, but the two factions suddenly joined forces to attack the Corporation's fleet, resulting in heavy casualties for the Corporation.
Although Leon personally ordered the activation of the Falling Star Spear to destroy the star system where the civilization was located, this incident did disgust the employees of various departments of the global giant company.
So when faced with this kind of problem, Terrence would give priority to the worst-case scenario.
After all, no one can guarantee that something like this won't happen next.
What Terrence said made sense. Their fleet could certainly deal with the attacks of two Protoss fleets at the same time, but doing so would definitely result in more casualties.
If they encounter the Protoss fleet coming to support Daram on their way back, their troops will probably be killed by the Protoss!
"You're right, but the possibility of this happening is not very high." Paul combined all the known information and gave his own judgment.
The first point is that the Tal'darim and the Dar'am Protoss have a long-standing grudge against each other, and it is difficult for both sides to put aside their prejudices in a short period of time.
If Naion wants to lead the team to surrender, he must accept the connection with Kara and share spiritual memories and information with all the Darram Protoss.
But the Tal'darim Protoss are unwilling to engage in this. They pay more attention to their own selfish desires and privacy, and do not want to eat from the same pot as the Dar'am Protoss.
In most cases, different ideas and demands can completely divide the same blood race and turn each other into strangers.
The Tal'darim Protoss gathered by Naion are essentially Protoss who are unwilling to accept the "Kara Link" system.
This is like forcing people who eat grains to suddenly change to eating shit every day. This is more painful than killing them.
The same applies to the Tal'darim.
Even if the Tal'darim are really willing to endure the disgusting feeling of eating shit and fight to the death with the Cosmos Corporation, the Protoss Darram will not give up the opportunity to win over allies to fight the Zerg for the sake of a traitor.
After all, the current biggest threat to the Protoss is the Zerg, and the help that the Cosmic Corporation can bring to the Protoss is far more than that of the Tal'darim.
With just a little calculation of the benefits, you can understand which option is better.
After listening to Paul's analysis, Terrence and Andrew nodded. They temporarily put aside their concerns and ordered the fleet to follow Darram to Naion's lair - the Sigma star region, the abandoned world ship!
……
The journey did not last too long. Within a month, the fleets of Universe Corporation and Darram arrived in the Sigma star region.
In a star system in the sector, they discovered the abandoned Xel'Naga worldship.
It was not much different from what Paul expected. The Xel'Naga World Ship really lived up to its name. This giant ship had gone beyond the concept of a starship and was instead a super-large object like a star.
Because this world ship is so huge, even the smaller asteroids around it will be attracted and merged into its part.
After years of material absorption, this world ship has devoured and digested a considerable amount of asteroid resources.
Looking at the warships scattered across various planets, Paul suddenly remembered the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he had watched in a giant cinema.
The Flying Holland ship covered with seashells, fish bones and seaweed is similar to the world ship.
"Is this really a battleship? It looks almost as big as the sun!"
Even the knowledgeable Marshal Terrence couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his soul trembling when he saw the true appearance of the world ship.
Up to now, the largest battleship of the giant enterprise in the universe, the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon, has a diameter of only 700,000 kilometers, but the diameter of this world ship is estimated to be at least 3 million kilometers!
Such a huge and mysterious creation can only be created by a god like the Xel'Naga.
"A real world ship shouldn't be this big. It just became so bloated because it absorbed too much planetary matter. I guess it's unlikely to be able to run."
Paul made a calm analysis.
Just think about it, there are only a few planets in such a large star system, and the remaining planets have probably been swallowed up and merged into the world ships long ago.
Today's world ship is more like a huge home fortress than a battleship.
Of course, anything is possible.
If the weapon system on this world ship can still be activated, then the only way to destroy the Tal'darim troops on it is probably to deploy various strategic-level weapons.
However, doing so might also arouse the fear of the Darram Protoss.
According to the plan set by Paul, they must win this battle, but not too overwhelmingly. It would be best to let go a little and hide the true strength of the giant company.
"It's so shocking. I've never seen such a huge starship. How many resources of the star system must be drained to build it!"
Andrew also exclaimed.
"The Xel'Naga created the Protoss and the Zerg in this universe. This ship is the tool they use to patrol the universe. Even the fragments we are looking for are their creations."
Paul has memorized all the information about the StarCraft universe in the headquarters database, and he naturally knows something about the Xel'Naga.
As the end point of the civilization evolution of this universe, the Xel'Naga can be completely called the "Heavenly Way" itself. They are responsible for the reincarnation and end cycle of this universe.
Every object that is casually created is a product of cutting-edge technology that countless civilizations can only dream of.
However, this huge world ship is nothing more than the most insignificant creation of the Xel'Naga, and the keystone they left behind is the most important item.
Even the evil god Amon is eager to gather these fragments, so the world giant needs to get the key stone first before carrying out the subsequent integration plan.
"No matter what, this ship is an abandoned starship after all. We just need to get the keystone fragments on it. As for whether we can defeat the Tal'darim, we'll just leave it to fate."
After observing that the actual situation was rather tricky, Paul no longer expected to be able to completely annihilate the Tal'darim troops in one fell swoop this time.
At this time, the Long Night, the first ship in the world, sent a communication, and Captain Hawat reported to everyone:
[Reporting to headquarters, the long-range detector scanned that there are a large number of Tal'darim troops stationed ahead, and there are tearing force field generators on their ships. ]
[The AI drones we sent out have been broken down into molecules. It seems that it will be difficult for us to break in without destroying their devices. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Hawat transmitted the scene that had just happened back to the flagship headquarters.
On the holographic screen, the AI drone released by the Long Night was seen entering the tearing force field, and its entire body instantly turned into extremely fine fragments.
Until it ceased to exist at all.
The whole process looks like it disappeared out of thin air, which is very similar to the molecular fission of MD 500, a small doctor from the global giant!
It is obvious that the level of technological weapons in the "StarCraft" universe has reached the specifications of regular weapons for the elite forces of giant companies.
The difficulty of this integration is only higher than that of "Star Wars"!
"We have to find a way to destroy these tearing force field generators, otherwise we won't be able to get through at all."
This tearing force field is most likely one of the few defense systems of the Xel'Naga world ship. If these generators are not destroyed, sending troops to force a landing would be a pure act of sending lives.
There is no way the giant company could get the key stone fragments.
After all attempts to attack from multiple angles using AI drones failed, it seemed that the only option left was a frontal attack.
[What should we do now? Should we use long-range weapons to attack?] Hawat's voice sounded from the other side of the screen.
Terrence thought silently for a moment, wondering what kind of long-range weapon he should use to cross the molecular force field and directly strike the Tal'darim troops.
Even if it can really hit the opponent, how much effect can it have?
In Terrence's opinion, the best scenario is of course to grab the keystone fragments and run away. This is the Tal'darim's home battlefield, and the giant enterprise does not have an advantage in a decisive battle with them.
Paul had the same idea as Terrence, so he decided to let Hawat stay put and wait for the reaction from the Durham Protoss.
"What's the situation with the fleet over there in Durham?" Paul asked.
Soon, Hawat, who received the message, replied: [They have already launched an attack and are leading their troops to impact the tearing force field generator.]
When Paul learned that the other party had chosen to fight head-on, he couldn't help but express his doubts about the military capabilities of the Durham Protoss. Do these Protoss only know how to rush forward when fighting?
Go ahead to dangers.
After thinking it over carefully, Terrence gave the order: "Follow their fleet and see how they deal with these tearing force fields."
Since Lugia was eager to die, they might as well just observe the situation from behind. A tearing force field generator like this shouldn't last too long.
Even if they couldn't do anything to the Tal'darim for a while, at most they could spend more time besieging them, and there would always be a chance to seize the moment when they showed a flaw. At this moment, the two Durham aircraft carriers rushed into the tearing force field without hesitation. Relying on the powerful energy shield, they temporarily resisted the impact of the tearing force field.
The two Void Rays behind followed closely and, under the cover of the aircraft carrier, launched an attack on the Tal'darim troops in front with long-range attacks.
I have to say that this Durham fleet is really something. It relied on the shield force field to withstand the erosion of the tearing field and rushed all the way to the vicinity of the world ship.
It seems that these tearing fields are not as troublesome as Paul and his friends imagined. At least the shield force field can withstand the destruction.
Here, after approaching the first tearing force field generator, Lugia immediately gave the order: "All troops, attack, tear these damn traitors to pieces!"
“For Al——!”
As the Protoss warriors let out an impassioned roar, a large number of unmanned interceptors swarmed out from the aircraft carrier, and warships from various units also rushed towards the tearing force field generator together.
At the same time, the two Void Rays activated their prismatic beams and bombarded the tearing force field generator, gradually disintegrating its outer energy shield.
The Tal'darim troops stationed in the area also quickly took counterattack measures.
While shaking hands and calling for help, they relied on the anti-aircraft firepower of the photon turrets to try to intercept the attack of the Daram Protoss fleet.
Unfortunately, in the face of the overwhelming number of interceptors, these photon turrets were blown up by the dense rain of plasma beams before they could destroy a few enemy planes.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
The interior of the Protoss aircraft carrier is itself a huge mobile factory. No matter how many interceptors are fired here, as many interceptors will be immediately produced in the rear.
In a sense, the ideas of Protoss and Zerg in mass production are quite similar.
These aircraft carriers are like huge mechanical hives, constantly producing unmanned interceptors coming in and out, and repairing interceptors that have been damaged by the tearing force field.
Immediately afterwards, interceptor aircraft were dispatched to participate in the battle.
That's right, the Protoss interceptors have a program that will automatically return to the factory for repair when they are damaged to a certain proportion.
Doing so can maximize cost savings and ensure that resources are not wasted.
Relying on this unique set of hard-fought tactics, Lugia's Protoss troops quickly tore through the Tal'darim's defenses, exposing the tearing field generator to the drone's firepower coverage.
As time went on, the power of the Void Ray's prism beam became fully apparent, and the beam successfully broke through the energy shield of the force field generator.
Combined with the fire bombing from the unmanned interceptor, the generator was immediately blown to pieces.
The surrounding Tal'darim troops were helpless in this regard; their anti-aircraft firepower system was quite poor and completely ineffective.
When the first tearing field generator collapsed, the rest of the Tal'darim garrison was washed away by the steel torrent before them.
As the force field generator was destroyed, the force field in the nearby area also disappeared.
After a large number of unmanned interceptors cleared a safe area for advancement, the Protoss Darram released the warp prism, and light wings spread out in the star field to form an energy radiation circle.
The rest of the Protoss fleet arrived at this area through the warp aperture.
This can be regarded as a unique jump technology of the Protoss, which can realize the rapid transportation of troops over short distances. Relying on this technology, the Protoss' combat advancement speed is quite fast.
In addition, the Protoss' automated work robots also began to deploy warp beacons to teleport the pre-built buildings.
In an instant, countless buildings were precisely placed in the designated area, forming a huge front-line military fortress. The efficiency was simply too fast.
Terrence and Andrew memorized the scene deeply in their minds, and planned to imitate each other's actions and replicate them after the war.
With the existing technological capabilities of the world's giant companies, it is not difficult to achieve this.
Before long, relying on the teleportation function of the warp prism, the entire Daram fleet arrived at the Xel'Naga world ship, and they began to massacre the Tal'darim garrison here.
The vanguard fleet composed of Protoss motherships and Void Rays, after completing the charging of main guns and shield force fields, followed the established route to other areas for occupation.
So far, the offensive plan of the Dalam Protoss has been going smoothly. Just as they originally imagined, the Tal'darim troops here are simply vulnerable!
"El will live forever--!"
Seeing that their fleet was invincible, the Templar and the rest of the Protoss warriors shouted in unison and rushed towards the Tal'darim troops coming from all directions.
On the other side, high-level templars led by Tanis began to make hand gestures and summoned a large psychic storm out of thin air.
Unlike the storms created by the giant corporations using weather weapons, these psychic storms appear to be filled with dazzling lightning and hurricanes on the surface, but they contain extremely destructive psychic forces within.
Any matter affected by the psychic storm will be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Even the heavily armored Vanguard Infantry Combat Machine or the Colossus Siege Machine cannot withstand the storm for long and will be shattered in a short while!
You know, this is the outer space environment without wind or rain. Even if a giant company uses breath weapons, it cannot create such a powerful storm out of thin air.
But these Templar Knights were just like the immortal elders in the fantasy world, relying on the thunder to condense this psychic storm formation that swept across the battlefield.
This made all the employees of the giant companies who had great faith in big ships and cannons feel for the first time the terrifying power of supernatural powers so clearly.
At this moment, the top executives of giant companies far away in the headquarters of the Wanjie Base were also watching and discussing everything here.
Especially senior executives like V and Morgan Blackhand who have been through many battles and served as interstellar governors are quite wary of the Protoss who control supernatural powers.
Before entering the "StarCraft" universe, the world's giant companies had technological weapons and regular weapons that were not inferior to any civilized forces.
However, the development of this kind of spiritual power has just begun!
"V, if we go to war with the Darram Protoss, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
At that moment, Morgan Blackhand had imagined countless ways to attack the Protoss fleet, but no matter how he planned, the giant company would suffer heavy losses.
According to the battle power comparison, unless one increases the technology points to the level where one can manually determine the rules and shape the laws, it will be very difficult for one who plays with technology to defeat one who practices cultivation.
"I can't say that."
V didn't know how to answer this question. On a physical level, he was almost invincible as he was half cyber and half organ-transformed.
But when it comes to supernatural powers such as psionics and the Force, he knows almost nothing about them. Without his expertise, who can tell the ins and outs of them?
Perhaps the reason why the boss values Paul so much is that he hopes he can take up the banner of psychic power for the global giant, just like he once did.
Served as the face of the Astartes Primaris.
At this moment, Li Ang looked at the hard-light screen in silence and did not participate in the conversation of the staff below.
He knew that the reason why these psychic powers showed such tremendous destructive power was essentially because these powers did not belong to the three-dimensional universe.
According to the theory of physical universe and virtual world that he had proposed, the so-called psychic power is the power that exists in the void plane of the "StarCraft" universe.
The magic powers and strange phenomena of heaven and earth created by psychic hands certainly do not have to follow the laws of the physical world.
The StarCraft universe is different from any universe Leon has ever seen.
There is a "gap" between the three-dimensional plane and the void plane of this universe. High-dimensional energy is constantly falling into the low-dimensional plane. The Protoss, as a species of pure spiritual power, are absorbing psychic energy.
With huge natural advantages, they can be said to be the chosen ones to ascend to immortality!
Judging from the attitude of the previous Xel'Naga, the Protoss are the first-line heirs, and the Zerg are the second-line. In terms of seniority, the Protoss are the current crown princes of the universe.
They enjoy the right to rule by law and the advantages of the system of the cycle of heaven left by the Xel'Naga.
No matter what, there is really no need for the current global giants to be at odds with this chosen group, and conflicts must be avoided as much as possible.
Of course, Leon would definitely not allow the Protoss to abuse their power forever. One of the reasons why he collected the keystone fragments was to allow Kerrigan to ascend to become a god!
Only by using the keystone to make Kerrigan a Xel'Naga can she destroy Amon, allow humans to enter the Void Temple, and take over this higher-dimensional plane.
From now on, if the star spirits want to continue to ascend to become gods, they will have to rely on the face of the giant cosmic corporations.
"I hope nothing will happen to Paul and Renault. We can't mess up this move."
Leon has already made overall plans in his mind, using the Matrix to control Kerrigan, who has become a god, and then controlling the natural cycle of the StarCraft universe through Kerrigan.
After this dazzling series of operations, the property deeds accumulated by successive generations of Sarnaga were transferred to the global giant enterprise.
Leon was also able to use this opportunity to conquer the Protoss and Zerg species. As for the Terran Federation and the Terran Federation, they were not worth mentioning at all.
If they cooperate, they will stay; if they refuse, the senior management will be cleared out and replaced by another group of senior management.
In terms of actual influence, the human race in the StarCraft universe is just a minor existence.
If it weren't for the appearance of Kerrigan, a lucky guy, she would have been transformed by the Overmind into the Queen of Blades and gained the characteristics and power of the Zerg.
He then used the Keystone artifact to break free from Amon's control, and absorbed the planetary essence from the planet Zerus, gathering pure physical and spiritual power.
After that, Orus, the elder of the Xel'Naga, used his own essence to help a new god, Kerrigan, ascend to the throne.
I'm afraid the human camp is not worthy of being noticed by the Protoss and Zerg at all.
Although Kerrigan's whole process of becoming a god involved almost no hard power and was entirely dependent on luck!
But we have to admit that in many cases luck is also part of strength, and it is quite crucial.
Therefore, what Leon has to do now is to take advantage of the opportunity of Kerrigan, the Son of Destiny, to fulfill his plan of "using gods to rule the universe."
This is not only a big-budget operation that Leon has never done before, but also the only real example of a giant company in the world that can use "God" to balance the universe.
