Invincible Chapter 387
If you have to look at the problem from the perspective of the essence of religion, that is, brainwashing, you will come to an interesting conclusion:
The Kalai clan of the protoss are basically honest children who are willing to believe in fools. Through this belief, they think they have found the harmony and peace of mind they need.
The Nerazin clan, which is rich in dark templars, is a collection of smart people. They are unwilling to believe in fools, think more freely, have their own beliefs and pursuits, and their natures are not bad.
Tadarin is a concentration camp for careerists and thugs. Even if there is a minority like 'Cui San'er' (Twisted Triest of Menzoberranzan), they can't get along, or run away (basically can't) to), or be bent (following the chain of ascension).
There are several other clans, which are not as distinctive as these three, and the number is not large, and the influence is limited, so there is no need to say more.
Against this background, it is not surprising that Aldaris took the lead in exploring the wreckage of Leviathan in search of brain worms.
Although he is proud, his resourcefulness, ability, and character are not outstanding, but his moral character is not bad.
He's not the type of 'Brothers give it to me', and he's not like the high-ranking lord of Tadalin, who always says to his subordinates: 'Come and serve me! ’ Then engage in psionic extraction, and even sacrifice.
Aldarius has learned the lesson of the failure of the Lyon Marine Corps' annihilation, step by step, not forgetting to build in the process of advancing, there is a vote of detectors in the team, and every time a node is reached, let the detectors first fold the crystal tower into place .
These roughly fusiform objects with material hoops like gold carvings in the middle are expensive like other Protoss creations and have existed for a long time. They are the products of craftsmen's meticulous craftsmanship, and most of them originated before the Golden Age.
At that time, all the protoss had the dream of exploring deep space in their hearts, with one heart and one desire, and their civilization made great progress. The later years didn't work out, the protoss in leadership got tired of exploring, and inventors and artisans had low social status.
Against this background, the protoss have been mainly playing with religion in recent years. To put it nicely, it is called the construction of spiritual civilization. To put it bluntly, it is to study how to brainwash and make society harmonious and stable.
After all, the material has been extremely rich, and the upward momentum has basically been lost, so how to pass the long life? This is a problem. It is inevitable that someone will act as a demon. For example, some protoss began to question the rationality of the caste system. Is it appropriate to be born as a ruling class?
Aldaris is a high caste. It can be said that as long as his performance is above the level, then he must be an executive officer or law enforcement officer in the future.
He's not particularly sensitive about it,
Instead, I take it for granted, and this kind of taking for granted also extends to the attitude towards the use of utensils.
Like the photon turret that was set up immediately after the crystal tower jumped and set up, he felt that the equipment of my Great Protoss could be used anywhere, and it was taken for granted that it was sharp everywhere.
Each crystal tower is surrounded by a circle of photon cannons, exactly 6 units. The outer area can also warp personnel and other units.
In this way, each point has defensive capabilities, and personnel can be jumped to assist in defense as needed, which is very flexible. That's great, right?
However, it didn't take long for the challenge to appear. First, the burrowing unit, some Zergs tried to burrow and approach and destroy the photon cannon.
The ability of these photon cannons is actually quite outstanding. As long as the target is not too deep, the lower limit is about 7 meters, it can be detected and attacked. The power of the photon cannon is not bad. , can explode.
In addition, the design of the photon turret is also worth mentioning. It is divided into two parts: the base and the floating turret. The nearly circular turret is suspended above the disc-shaped base. It can be said that there is no shooting dead angle except for the base below itself.
However, this is the interior of Leviathan. Leviathan is a living creature, a big bug. It has blood vessels for transporting nutrients and a lumen that is extremely convenient for bugs to use.
The more the node area is similar to the hub, the richer and denser the blood vessels, lumens and the like. It's the zerg's version of the highway.
The zerg quickly arrived at the area through these highways as if they were playing rapids in a canoe.
Therefore, the rapid deployment of troops is not only unique to Protoss's Warp, Zerg, and even humans also have their own ways of playing.
Aldarius obviously hasn't clearly realized, or doesn't want to believe, that the Zerg is actually a qualified opponent, a powerful enemy who can beat the head of a Protoss into a dog's head.
So when the protoss were making every step, the zergs were also actively operating, and then when the protoss were almost done laying, the zergs gave them a big surprise.
When it comes to dispatching troops quickly and at a high speed, Zerg does not accept any race, especially in the current local battle, a large number of bugs break out of the ground, and once they appear, they are already very close to the photon cannon.
The photon turret is really sharp. Wherever the bright white light ball goes, the Zerg is like paper, and the flesh and blood splattered by the explosion, but it is a pity that it has a limitation on the shooting frequency after all, which is not comparable to the machine gun.
Of course, there are reasons for Aldaris to be proud of protoss equipment, and the general use of energy shields is one of them.
In more detail, the energy shield of the protoss can fully protect against external attacks, but its own fire can not be affected by the shield barrier. Humans do not have this technology. The battlecruiser also has shields, but its muzzles are not protected.
Protoss not only has energy shields for all equipment, but also a special charger for energy shields, which can charge equipment and personnel.
As a result, a large number of Zergs suddenly appeared, besieging the fort clusters of each node, defying life and death, with fangs and claws at the same time, but the light blue translucent protective cover with a hexagonal luminous skeleton can be seen constantly being attacked. , flashing, but even if it is not broken, it will not disappear.
The photon turret controlled by the AI has always maintained a stable firing frequency, blasting the Zerg into flesh and blood one after another.
Aldaris and the others, after being notified of the Zerg's full-scale attack node, naturally jumped to participate in the defensive battle. This time, the protoss had three arms, fanatics, dragon knights, and high-ranking templars.
Zealots are melee units. Their main weapon is the psionic blade ejected from the forearm armor. It is more than one foot long on the back of the hand and looks like a light cone, so it is also called arm blade or psionic cone.
This kind of energy blade, which claims to cut everything, actually has its upper limit. At least the Zerg's single-molecule claw blade can fight with it.
The Dragon Knight can be understood as the protoss version of heavy power armor, which is generally controlled by protoss disabled.
Kane still doesn't understand that Protoss's technology is so advanced, but they can't even handle a limb regeneration technique, instead of making this kind of canned weapons, dragon knights, immortals, and even figurative, it's the same, Protoss The driver is soaked in a device similar to an amniotic fluid tank, and through a special spiritual connection device, he controls the device telepathically. This is the essence of a canned weapon.
Just like the Hydralisk is not only sharp with spines and acid jets, but also the fan bone and sickle claws, the Dragon Knight is not only powerful for shooting weapons, its deconstructed shape reminds people of the mechanical legs and sickle-shaped claws of arthropods such as spiders , is also a weapon in combat.
Aldaris himself is a representative of the high-ranking templar, wearing a large cloak, moving in suspension, always followed by a phase afterimage.
These are not for comparison, or not just for comparison, the cloak is a protective weapon, and the phase afterimage allows the high-level templar to choose the position of the main body and the afterimage at any time to achieve the purpose of avoiding a fatal blow.
Aldarius led a group of protoss to fight the fire. The zealots used their charge skills to rush into the Zerg swarm at high speed, and then used their superb fighting skills to fight.
The Dragon Knight is like a free shooter, cruising on the battlefield and shooting from time to time. Most of the time, it is to rescue the Zealots. When they are deeply surrounded, they will use the phase teleportation skill to escape.
This skill will cause a certain burden to the dragon knight, it cannot be used continuously, and there is a certain skill cooling time.
Aldarius usually moves around surrounded by guards. He uses projecting energy balls as his main attack method, and sometimes releases psionic storms.
His psionic storm can not only kill enemies, but also replenish a certain amount of energy shield for his family members. This is the unique technology of the Kalai clan, and neither Nerazin nor the protoss of Tadarin can do it. Of course, they also have their own technical strengths.
In this battle, the overall feeling is that the protoss are relying on their own technical advantages to compete. The supply of chargers can make them protect without worry, and the superb fighting skills, tactical skills, and Kara's spiritual link can also allow them to cooperate tacitly, show their talents in battle, and win more with less.
Of course, there are those who fight to the fullest and cross the waves, or unlucky ghosts. The number and tyranny of the Zerg prove that the Protoss warriors who have lost their energy shields will be torn apart in seconds.
Crazy bloodthirsty, the style of Zerg is like this, their lives are relatively short, even if they are alive, most of the time their minds are blank, sleeping or dazed, their fighting skills are innate, engraved in their genes, just like wild beasts. Born to know how to use their minions.
Ordinary beasts still need to get familiar with their claws and teeth through playing when they are young, and wild ones have to hone their skills in practice. Although their skills are often only three axes, they are absolutely sharp. After all, the pressure of survival is extremely high. If you fail repeatedly, you will lose weight day by day until you starve to death.
Zergs are not like this. The amount of information carried in the genes of the Zergs is huge, as if they have been compressed. They are professional combat weapons, equipped with professional combat techniques.
This kind of technology is still three-dimensional, but there is a lot of additional information related to it. Although I dare not say that I am an experienced veteran from birth, a qualified soldier definitely meets the standard.
The rest is to combine knowledge and action through actual combat.
Their thinking is simple and simple, and they focus on killing, so in the original historical line, it often happened that three or five springtails + one Hydralisk could capture a small human town, or even slaughter them all. It gives people the impression that the various performances of the humans in the town are stupid. In fact, it is not that the humans perform poorly, but that the Zerg often occupy various hidden advantages, and the fighting time is often extremely intermittent. In an instant, there is a little negligence Or hesitation, is the difference between life and death.
The same is true in front of us. The protoss are long-lived species, and they are called young people in their 200s. The Templar class, in simple terms, are full-time fighters whose daily work is to hone their combat skills. It is conceivable how high their professional level is.
But even so, the Zerg can still find a gap in the gap and launch a fatal blow to it. Even die to create attack opportunities for companions.
The latter is undoubtedly very terrifying, not only reflecting the madness of the Zerg, but also showing their wisdom that is not inferior to humans and protoss.
Facing such a fierce and cunning cruel opponent, the protoss are also quite difficult.
But at any rate, they managed to cope with this wave.
Aldarius cheered everyone up afterwards, saying that the Zerg's patchwork army had been slaughtered.
What he meant was that the number of zerg in the wreck of Leviathan was limited, and after death, it would be difficult for the zerg to initiate a battle of this scale.
That's right, but Aldaris still underestimated the Zerg, or missed two points.
The first is that there are actually more zerg in this area than he thought, and there are many more.
The second is that he is facing a civilization, not a group of beasts. The reason why Zerg can be famous as explosive soldiers is because of its strong production capacity.
There is a brain worm sitting here. As early as when the human marines tried to attack this place, the brain worm had already commanded the Zerg, from the initial priority of repairing this block to the later priority of combat.
The cerebrum is very clear that as long as it can hold on, the final victory will be its own, because it has already contacted other blocks and has a considerable grasp of the overall situation.
It can be said that although Kane's glass slag fleet beat the zerg to pieces as soon as they came up, but from a certain point of view, the real damage is far from being as great as it seems on the surface. If you want to completely wipe out the Zerg here, you have to take the attitude of attacking a dwarf planet completely occupied by the Zerg.
It is impossible to bring the killed Leviathan back to life, but with the recovery ability of the Zerg, it is entirely possible to glue it into a super space fortress.
Zerg can also collect the substances that were previously spilled, and even the corpses of the insects can be reused.
This kind of gameplay of re-eating your own vomit and even internal organs is quite disgusting, but I have to say, it is really awesome, so in this dark universe, the Zerg is recovering with unimaginable efficiency. Neither the protoss nor the humans represented by Leon Fox have really paid attention to it...
