The planet Gist, which became the homeworld of the Zerg, turned into a huge stone that was slowly cooling under the attack of the Tassadar Protoss fleet. The huge combined fleet of humans and protoss changed course and headed towards the edge world of the Federation.
Advance to Hellsain.
So far, starting from the core world of Vadona Prime, the combined fleet has crossed half of the territory of the Tyranid Federation and witnessed the great escape and final destruction of more than a dozen colonies.
The fleet also destroyed or drove away the insect swarm Behemoth and the Leviathan fleet wandering in human territory, buying precious time for the people in the colony to evacuate.
A rumor about a huge savior fleet is circulating in many edge worlds. They always arrive in time when a world is in the most critical moment to save the people from disaster.
But unless they see it with their own eyes, few people will believe such rumors. Believing that there is a fleet composed of humans and protoss saving lives and healing the wounded in the Koprulu sector is no different than someone hearing about cats and mice walking together.
Augustus's flagship, the Hyperion, has also entered an unbearable state of time and space jump. In addition to enduring the insomnia caused by the alternation of time and space, the crew on the ship also completed the maintenance work and training on the warship as usual.
.
In addition to the crew, there are two battalions of the Guards Division on the Hyperion to prepare for the landing battle that may come at any time. Some newly recruited recruits are also receiving training on this battleship to ensure that they can be put into service as soon as possible
battlefield.
This is also the case for Carolina Davis, who has just joined the Korhal Revolutionary Army. She is also training with some recruits from Haji and Antiga Prime, as well as some refugees that the Revolutionary Army fleet accepted on the way.
According to the recruit instructor's report to Augustus, Carolina Davis performed outstandingly from the beginning and was definitely not a pampered aristocratic lady. Augustus gave his own opinions on this document
Evaluation - Let’s wait and see, Carolina Davis’s military achievements are by no means limited to this.
At around 14:00 a.m. on the ship, Augustus left the captain's cabin and set off for the Hyperion's armory to inspect. Only Sarah Kerrigan and Jim Raynor followed him, while Guard Captain Faraday was ordered to go
The ship's science and technology laboratory was dealing with an accident caused by an experiment. It was heard that the young apprentice Egon Stetman exploded the pancreas of an explosive infectious agent due to a mistake.
When Augustus, Kerrigan and others walked into the armory, Swann was welding a new model of power armor with the former Heavenly Demon armor technician Hiram Fick. This new power armor
It looks somewhat similar to the Firebat armor, and the thick stainless steel plating makes it look taller.
The Hyperion was once a battlecruiser of the Tyranid Federation Navy that crashed due to a navigation system failure. Most of its internal facilities still retain their previous appearance - old but solid and reliable.
The dome of the armory leads directly to the upper platform, and the wall with thick pipes welded to it connects fans and cables. From time to time, a lifting platform falls from above with the sound of a cable winch. This kind of cable is made from the industry of Ma Sara
Catalytic elements are mixed and smelted into an alloy. It is harder than diamond and is often used to tow space cargo ships that are afraid of breaking down.
Some spider-shaped intelligent machines, not much bigger than a puppy, with blade-like alloy appendages are walking around on the metal deck, as if they are patrolling sentries. They are all the masterpieces of Victor Kaczynski, the second engineer of the Revolutionary Army.
, looked very lively and active, Augustus even saw two spider-shaped robots fighting when he came in.
The wall of the armory facing space has a porthole that occupies the entire wall. Outside is the dark space-time channel, in which the dimensions of time and space are difficult to distinguish.
Nuoda's armory is filled with all kinds of square parts supply boxes, parts and some damaged vehicles and small fighter planes. Revolutionary Army engineers and technicians wearing dark gray and bright orange uniforms are walking around, immersed in repairs.
Damaged machinery or checking supplies against a list.
Because they are always busy, engineers cannot always keep their clothes neat and tidy like the professional soldiers of Alpha Squadron or Nova Squadron of the Revolutionary Army. Their clothes and overalls are either skewed or stained with dirty oil.
The engineers of the Revolutionary Army come from all over the world - Korhal 4, Cha Sara, Mar Sara, Umoyan, Moria, Port of the Dead, Haiji... Most of them are not very young anymore.
Many people have white temples.
Some of these engineers were once technical experts employed in the foundry of Korhal 4, and some were chief engineers on a certain long-voyaging trade starship. There were tall figures who held senior engineer certificates, and there were also those who originally worked as plumbers
Skilled workers who have worked in space stations or shipyards for many years.
Young people are not uncommon in the Engineering Corps of the Revolutionary Army. Some of them are college students who graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, while others are mechanics who have not received higher education but have been working in the dirty oil of factories since childhood.
.
Without exception, these people chose to respond to Augustus Mengsk's call and contribute their part to this glorious and great cause.
"Hi! Guys, our unparalleled wise and powerful Tyranid Light Augustus Mengsk is back! Salute to you, leader." Rory Swann, the chief engineer with a thick beard, raised his hand to Augustus.
After picking up his wrench, the engineers and soldiers also saluted their leader.
Next to Swann was a vulture car with a skull and flames logo on the windshield, which was obviously Hanak Hank's "car".
The chief engineer of the Revolutionary Army has always been critical of this unruly and extreme hoverbike. Probably the mining families of the Camorion Alliance prefer reliable and stable equipment. The new weapon Sidewinder Chariot makes Swann very happy.
I am satisfied with it and think it is a tank that can shine on future battlefields.
"Hats off to you," others said.
"The pressure has doubled." Augustus walked up to Swann and leaned against the console on the ground in the mechanical warehouse.
"How are the people in Gist? I heard there were people there who escaped before the insects defeated the militia there." Hiram Fike asked Augustus.
"Later we learned that some people survived. They fled to the nearest colonies, but those colonial planets did not survive." Augustus sighed: "I believe there must be Gist people.
They survived, but after losing their hometown, they lost their roots like plants."
"Swan, Fick, how is the research on new weapons going?" He didn't want to discuss the topic any more.
"The progress is encouraging, sir. You remember that I was the prototype designer of the Firebat Power Armor." Hiram Fike was happy to show off his new achievements in front of the old commander, and he had so many outstanding people around him.
After becoming a man, Marshal Augustus inevitably forgot his old love when he found a new love.
"You need heavily armored soldiers, a fulcrum on the battlefield that can keep moving forward. Our ordinary soldiers can hide behind these heavily armored soldiers to protect themselves from spike bullets, Hydra Hydralisks or Protoss
Direct attack by particle weapons."
"Very good, what I'm more concerned about is when will my army be able to use these new power armors." Augustus said: "The Wolf Warrior prototype is amazingly powerful, but I can directly use a large number of t
-The Type 280 space engineering vehicle was transformed into a powerful combat mecha."
Augustus had to admit that when the stubby and stocky Camorian Mrs. Meinho, Swann, and the even shorter Fick stood together, it always made people feel like dwarves and hobbits.
The personalities are also very similar.
Swann is open-minded and cheerful by nature. As long as he is around, he will never be indifferent. Fick always has a good temper. He is very kind. This kind of kindness is so pure that there is no impurity.
"The birth of a new weapon is always accompanied by repeated deliberation, drawings and perseverance, and finally continuous improvement. If you are a perfectionist, then this matter will never end."
Swann took his big, round cup from Augustus' elbow on the console and took a sip of Moria beer: "The armor is already there, but the most important thing is that we
What kind of weapons should be equipped with this new type of armor? If it is a Gauss rifle, it is overqualified, and the arc tank's gun is too heavy."
"How about a howitzer? A large-caliber howitzer." Augustus suggested to Swann: "This howitzer should have extremely powerful firepower, capable of destroying the shields of the Presteel bunker and injuring the thick thickness of the Zerg Thunder Beast.
The tissue under the chitin plate poses a threat to the protoss' shield that cannot be ignored."
No matter how good his relationship with Tassadar and Zeratul is now, Augustus always insists on treating the protoss as the imaginary enemy of mankind. Because Augustus knows very well that Tassadar and Zeratul are not enough.
to represent all the protoss, and there are definitely not just two protoss in the universe, namely the El Protoss and the Sagulath Protoss.
"A genius idea? Yes, why can't we throw those heavy and heavy artillery pieces onto the new armor." Swanxiang immediately assured Augustus: "We will be able to carry out the project in a few days.
New experiment, but how to solve the problem of recoil? Where should the howitzer be installed? On the shoulder, on the arm or under the crotch?"
"I guess it must not be under the crotch." Renault said.
"You're right, cowboy." Swann smiled at Renault, and then looked at Augustus: "If this kind of weapon must carry a large number of heavy shells, logistics will also be a problem."
Swann also liked Renaud, a young farm boy from Shiloh, and thought he had a great sense of justice. However, sometimes, Renault's idealistic and brainless personality was incompatible when compared with Augustus.
Will be exposed. Renault's friends always think that if he wants to become a leader like a marshal, he must make a lot of efforts.
"Then try to integrate them into a new military branch to provide independent logistics, or find another way to solve this problem." Augustus said: "This is something you should solve. After all, I am not an engineer.
We have enough funds, old guys, don't let me down."
"Noted it, sir." Fike said to Augustus with a smile.
"There's nothing I can't do." Swann thought of those protoss engineers who could build warships like works of art: "Of course, the things I'm talking about must be within the scope of what humans can do. If you want me to build
A protoss aircraft carrier or something, then I have no choice."
"Perhaps there is no need to build an identical one," Augustus said with a nod to Fick and a shrug.
"I received a report that the new design of the fusion cannon has achieved a breakthrough." This is the reason why Augustus came to the armory to ask Swann.
"I originally thought that the first one to make a breakthrough would be the Umo Yang National Guard Army, but I didn't expect that it would be us. I have to say, this is a miracle."
The engineering corps and prototype weapons laboratory of the Korhal Revolutionary Army gathered the elites of Korhal 4. Korhal 4 was originally a highly developed technological planet under the rule of the Tyranid Federation. It was originally a gathering of elites. Some of them were persecuted by the Federation or were
Federal scientists rescued by the Revolutionary Army sometimes join their ranks.
"Yes, if you hadn't asked that, I would have found an opportunity to tell you." Swann laughed, obviously very proud of this. Although Swann was not the leader of the experimental project for this new weapon, he was also an engineer.
The result of our joint efforts.
"This is an unparalleled cannon. Its caliber is rare in the world and occupies almost one-seventh of the width of the bow. This cannon will use the Titan reactor as its energy source and a strong magnetic field to focus the controllable nuclear explosions.
A concentrated beam of energy," Swann said.
"The phase technicians of Tassadar gave us a lot of suggestions and ideas. We owe it to them to be the first to make a breakthrough before the Umoyans and the Federation. In the eyes of the protoss, this weapon may not have any aesthetic appeal.
, but in my eyes it is truly breathtakingly beautiful.”
Hiram Fike continued: "At the beginning, we installed this huge cannon on an interstellar tugboat - this kind of tugboat is mainly used to transport mined crystal ores, and its power mainly comes from nuclear weapons.
fusion reactor, but still requires an entire generator to power the other components."
"We fired at the wreckage of a Terran Federation Leviathan-class battlecruiser that was about to be pulled into a neutron star, completely destroying it with just one shot."
"It's like a divine punishment."
Fick said: "I believe you have seen the actual recording of the camera. It can severely damage a battlecruiser with one shot. Even the Behemoth-class armor is vulnerable."
"However, the cannon needs a certain amount of time to recharge after each shot, but compared to its amazing power, that is insignificant at all."
"My mood at that time was the same as seeing the scene when mankind's first nuclear bomb exploded." Augustus nodded.
"When will we be able to use this kind of giant cannon on the revolutionary army's warships?" he then asked.
"Transformation requires a lot of time and money." Swan thought for a while and said: "We can only modify a very limited number of warships, and the combat effectiveness of these warships will be greatly reduced during the modification period."
"The question is, how much do you want to transform?"
"Of course, the more, the better." Augustus said: "I will upgrade the Hyperion first, and during this period I will use the Norad 2 as my flagship."
As the flagship of the Revolutionary Army, the Hyperion is being upgraded and transformed every moment. It is not only the starting point of the Revolutionary Army's fleet, but also considered a symbol of the revolutionary spirit.
"Okay, now this cannon still needs a name, and we finally decided to hand over this right to you." Fike said to Augustus with a smile.
"I'm glad you can say that." Augustus felt sincerely happy.
"Let's call it Yamato Cannon."
"I don't have a clue about this name..." Swan scratched his head: "However, in the future, if the people of the Federation and Umo Yang create this kind of cannon, its name and rating standards must be in accordance with ours.
