"If you really succeed, it will save hundreds of millions of people. Narud, you are the savior of mankind."
"It is my duty." Narud bowed like a proper Tarsonis gentleman, with the gray beard on his lips raised higher.
"The sense of mission to save mankind drives me to move forward. Nothing can make a scientific researcher more excited than seeing new technologies applied to people's livelihood and practical combat and making great achievements."
In an instant, a golden light seemed to surge over Dr. Narud's face. The light pierced Tychus's eyes, making the tough guy wearing the bright red uniform of the Royal Guard with gold tassel epaulettes curl his lips.
Narud's reputation is by no means bad in the Tyranid Empire. He is the chief academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Tyranid Empire, the first doctor of alien physiology, the greatest xel'naga scholar in mankind, and has even attracted the attention of the Dark Templar. .
Unparalleled national scholar!
In fact, Narud has been widely praised. He is definitely a genius scientist, and has the diligence to match. Narud often works without sleep for three or four days, and has almost no entertainment activities or hobbies. .More like a great scientist who has no desires and desires and devotes himself to science.
In the words of Augustus, our Dr. Narud is simply less busy than the donkeys in the production team than you, a model worker among model workers.
Dr. Francos, the best zerg biologist under Augustus in the past, bluntly said that Narud has the most powerful brain known to mankind, and his status in the fields of genetic engineering and xel'naga technology is unmatched by anyone. .In the next fifty years, all human technology will be a poor imitation of Emil Narud.
Of course, that's just a high compliment.
Except for Augustus, no one knew that Narud had ceased to be a human being long ago.
But Tychus just didn't like Narud. He always claimed that his intuition was accurate, but this never allowed him to escape the pursuit of the military police.
"If Tychus' ideological awareness can be compared to half of your toes, I won't have to lock him up every three days." Augustus nodded.
"Very good, I need someone around me who can oppose him."
"Sergeant Tychus is just outspoken. I have no dispute with him." Dr. Narud quickly said that he disdained being acquainted with such a rough man and always kept his distance. A gentleman would stay away from Tychus.
Narud is a person who pays great attention to appearance, manners and etiquette. He frowned when he saw Tychus' rude appearance. It seems that this is the reason why he always avoids contact with people in the military.
At this time, the Imperial Army's drones have begun to spray nano-serum in Seth's atmosphere. This powerful antidote will soon be sprayed all over Seth, and then the landing fleet will use orbital firepower and air force. With support, he descended to the ground to fight against the mutated zombies infected by the Griffin swarm.
In fact, there are not many living people left in Seth, only a military shelter established by the Antiga Imperial Army. The ecology of this planet has been destroyed by the zerg virus that is constantly regenerating, mutating, and accelerating its spread. Suitable for human habitation.
No matter how desperate the people on Seth were, they had to leave.
"Your Majesty, Major Mortier from Formica sent an email saying that the Alexander appeared in the system and that the settlement is in danger. Requesting support from the main fleet." Augustus' adjutant left.
come over.
"Sending time?" Augustus' eyes moved:
"Play on home screen."
"Four days ago, there was no communication base station in this star area, and transportation and communications were very backward. This is a common problem in edge worlds. Here, messages from a planet are always quite lagging behind." The adjutant replied, and then respected Ogu.
Stu commanded to switch to the home screen.
"I am Mortil, Formiga was attacked by the Griffin swarm. Before I sent this message for help, one million zerg had landed, and the infected UED flagship Alexander was also found in the swarm.
"
A young man wearing an Imperial Marine camouflage windproof suit and goggles on his forehead was standing in a green forest clearing. Behind him stood a huge Imperial Goliath armed robot, with the Imperial flag fluttering in the wind.
After that, dozens of local lumberjacks wearing orange work clothes, led by imperial officers, were cutting down trees in the forest to set up blocking fortifications. This was a vast sea of forests, ancient trees were lush, and the lush branches and leaves even blocked the sun.
"There are seven million miners, lumberjacks, metallurgists, and furniture factory workers and their families in Formica, but there are only half a Marine brigade of less than 3,000 people. Any Imperial troops who hear this distress signal,
Please help Formica."
"Find the coordinates of Formica on the star map." Augustus continued.
An Earth-like planet with 80% of its surface covered in green. Various data show that Formiga is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of life. The evergreen forests spread across various continents provide this planet with extremely high-quality wood resources.
, and woodland accumulated with humus is also an excellent land for growing crops.
Augustus was impressed by the name Formiga, not least because he personally signed the order to send relief troops to the area.
Formica's high-quality wooden furniture and other products are sold all over the world and are popular even among aristocrats and middle- and upper-class families.
The main population of this settlement is lumberjacks and factory workers. The output of this resource alone makes Formiga a quite famous and wealthy settlement. It is located between the edge world and the middle world, and can be regarded as
It is the boundary of the civilized world.
In Augustus' impression, after the fall of the Federation, Formica quickly formed a highly autonomous autonomous government and sought a political status similar to an autonomous city-state, so he was not in a hurry to send troops to reclaim the world.
When the Griffin swarm invaded, Formiga had no choice but to seek protection from the Tyranids like other worlds, and voluntarily shouldered the expenses of the empire's garrison.
But in general, Formiga never thought of opposing Augustus and the Tyranid Empire. When the Zerg invaded, the Federation failed to help Formiga, and they did not have much expectations for the Empire.
However, there is one thing that the Empire can rely on. They will respond to almost any request, and they will come when there is trouble. However, even though the Imperial Army has expanded to six million people, it is still not enough to maintain its control over the vast territory.
Today is different from the past. It is no longer the case that an ordinary Marine company can suppress a rebellion on a planet.
For the Terran Empire that Augustus had just established, this war came at the right time. Without the threat of foreign enemies, each world would inevitably have its own evil intentions. At the same time, war can also effectively divert internal conflicts and favor the advancement of power.
Transitions and handovers.
People in the various colonies of the Tyranid Federation, especially those planets in the central and even more remote areas of the Koprulu Sector, are extremely disappointed with the federal government and its politicians and nobles who are extravagant and lustful.
In peaceful times, well-developed industries and cutting-edge electronic products have caused a huge trade deficit between the core world and the edge world. Cheap crystal minerals, high-energy gas, wood, stone, and rare metals produced by the edge world are constantly flowing in.
Enter the core world, then make products and sell them at a high price.
This not only brought huge profits to the monopoly companies controlled by the nobles of the Creation Family, but also made the entire Tyranid Federation a cornucopia of wealth for them.
In peacetime, people's dissatisfaction is not enough to shake the government's rule. But once the central government's dominance weakens, people want to leave.
When the war came, the people were generally able to accept the drastic reduction in living standards caused by the war, and their calls for a strong government that could lead them to victory became louder and louder.
"I hope Formiga can hold on until we arrive." Kerrigan frowned.
Normally, half an Imperial Marine Brigade would be enough to defend an ordinary colonial world, but Formiga had obviously encountered the main force of the Griffin Swarm. Augustus could not ignore it.
"Do Carlos and Dugar want to start a head-on war with us on Formiga? But they don't have to do that. The invisible zerg virus is the most terrifying weapon." Augustus on the bridge of the Hyperion.
He walked around and said.
"It may be that the application of nano-serum made Carlos unable to sit still. He is not a guy who can stay calm," Kerrigan said.
"If Her Majesty the Queen guessed correctly, then Carlos should be eager to challenge us. Formiga is likely to be the main battlefield. It is the best time for the new psychic crusher to be put into actual combat. Various experimental data and preparations
Everything has been perfected." Dr. Narud said promptly:
"The research on the zerg hive mind and unique psychic connections has made breakthrough progress. The new psionic crusher can counterattack the psychic links between zerg, allowing their minds and bodies to be destroyed in a very short time.
It collapses simultaneously in time, and is much more powerful than the psychic disruptors of the past."
"It seems that you are already confident." Augustus looked at Narud and showed a satisfied smile.
Augustus had known that as long as Narud thought, as long as he took out a little bit of the knowledge that Xel'Naga had stored in the universe after countless reincarnations, it would benefit mankind endlessly.
Good romance novels
The creator of the Overlord is Emon, and as Emon's most loyal and only surviving servant to this day, Narud's understanding of the zerg and the hive mind may be far inferior to Emon, but it is unmatched by anyone in this universe.
.
As long as Narud, the donkey, is still pretending to work tirelessly and is complacent about playing with humans and teasing the Emperor of the Tyranids.
Both parties are happy, a win-win situation.
Narud never thought that he would be exposed in front of Augustus by using the pseudonyms of Duran and Narud, and the latter would have to cooperate with him to complete the play and do everything possible.
"If a large number of psychic crushers can be deployed in the edge world, the empire can gain at least five years of time to recuperate and develop its military!" Dr. Narud's eyes were sharp when he spoke:
"When the zerg evolve again and improve the defects in psychic connection, what awaits them will be an unprecedentedly powerful Tyranid Empire!"
So far, the Overmind and most of the Cerebrates have left the Koprulu Sector. The Griffin Swarm is the Tyranid Empire's biggest enemy, and the threat from the Protoss has been greatly reduced.
Although war has many drawbacks, a long and protracted war is enough to bring down any powerful regime.
Augustus indeed needed a relatively peaceful transition from 2499 to 2500 in order to seek to consolidate the rule of the empire and revive the economy. During this period, combating the Griffin Swarm and maintaining diplomatic peace in the Protoss Empire became
Main job.
"Good words - I have high hopes for the psychic crusher." Augustus looked at Narud and said: "Doctor, I hope you didn't lie to me."
"Practice is the best teacher." After all, Narud is a leader in reincarnation, and his words are definitely worthy of scrutiny:
"Just give it a try, Your Majesty, and you will know the value of the Psionic Crusher."
"Very good...very good." Augustus said two very good words in a row, as if it was difficult to control his excitement:
"Just do this, use the psychic disruptor and the psychic crusher at the same time, and you will definitely get miraculous results."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dr. Narud smiled and clapped his fingers: "Can you please reconsider the funding for Project Moebius? In addition, I also want at least this number of scientists."
Project Moebius is a plan proposed by Dr. Narud, which mainly aims to develop new military technology and build warships through research on Xel'Naga technology.
Emperor Augustus immediately agreed after seeing it. He also finalized the name of the plan, but the actual funding was always delayed. However, although the current Tyran Empire has taken back most of the founding families' funds,
The empire controlled the assets, but all aspects were in desperate need of money.
Like all scientists and inventors who are proud of their talents, Narud cannot avoid asking for funds, laboratories, sites, and manpower from the imperial government. After all, he cannot become money and people.
Narud has always been proving to Augustus that the hybrid technology is absolutely controllable - the materials and data he provided are always faultless, but they just can't pass because this stupid emperor is always worried about the protoss.
attitude, believing that it would trigger a war between humans and the Protoss, and Narud must prove that his scientific research results can ensure that the Tyranids do not have to fear the Protoss Empire.
Hybrids cannot deal with the Protoss' galactic fleet, and the Emperor hopes that Narud can develop human warships through his research on Xel'Naga spaceship technology. Only then will he consider developing hybrids.
"Okay." Emperor Augustus looked very happy and was willing to give Narud some more gifts:
"In order to ensure that this plan can be implemented in secret and to protect the safety of the participants, I must also send a professionally trained military force to protect it."
"In that case, let's call it the Moebius Legion."
Moebius Corp
"No need, Your Majesty Augustus." Narud was stunned:
"No one should be able to..."
"That's it." Augustus said:
"This is a fixed procedure, Umoyan agents are pervasive."
