Chapter 579 Use your invincible new star impact to find a solution
An Augustgrad Pride-class strategic cruiser is opening a hyperspace channel. The surging space-time vortex is like the rising second sun. Countless small and medium-sized warships are following the flagship in an overwhelming manner.
The bright orange or dark blue plasma thruster wake is brighter than a white star.
Before this generation, humans in the Koprulu sector had never seen such a huge fleet.
Children who grew up in the Tyran Empire era were lucky enough to witness the launch of this epic fleet, watching the city-like battleships speed up and turn into meteors in the sky. Children can often hear news from the front even in school. If
Their parents happened to work in factories related to the supply of arms supplies, so they could better understand the depressing and solemn atmosphere of war.
The junction of the late 25th and early 26th centuries is destined to leave a mark in history. During this year, many families with relatives and friends on the front line had sleepless nights.
This day is April 16, and the fighting on the front line has finally come to an end.
In the morning, Emperor Augustus ordered General Jim Reno to sit in the combat center and coordinate the overall situation. He took the time to convene the palace ministers of the imperial cabinet, including the ministers of finance, transportation, human resources and other heads of ministries to listen to their opinions on their work.
reports on the content and problems they encountered.
It is worth mentioning that the head of the cabinet, the imperial prime minister appointed by the emperor, is his father, Finance Minister Angus Mengsk.
The emperor believed that his old father was to blame for the reason why he had to work so hard to become an emperor today. In this case, Angus had to share the worries for his son.
The Prime Minister of the Empire has great power. He is the head of the government and has full authority to handle domestic and foreign affairs. He can convene cabinet meetings according to the emperor's will. The Prime Minister has the power to decide on the establishment, abolition and appointment of ministers of various departments, coordinate conflicts between departments and ensure the empire.
The government operates in an orderly manner.
In other words, except for not interfering with legislation and military command, the prime minister can be regarded as half an emperor.
Even if Angus's greatest achievement is considered to be giving birth to Augustus Mengsk, it cannot be denied that he is indeed a very capable politician. Tough, hard-working, extremely energetic and charismatic, the old Mengsk is also outstanding
of leaders.
Angus Mengsk has aged many years since he decided that he was absolutely responsible for the destruction of Korhal IV. His son, the Emperor, gave him a chance to atone for his sins. Although Angus had
Freedom and democracy must be defended at all costs, but now the centralized Tyran Empire seems to be the best outcome.
Now, only by working tirelessly and tirelessly to fulfill the original promise made to the Korhal people and build an empire where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment can the guilt in Angus's heart be alleviated.
And it was precisely with the assistance of Angus Mengsk, who was skilled in internal affairs, that Augustus was able to establish a sound and efficient government system in such a short period of time. You must know that half of the current Tyran Empire government is old
Half of the people left behind by the Federation were directly from the ruling team of Korhal IV in the past, and these people were all trained by Angus.
The most important thing is that Angus is the father of the emperor. With just this status, this gray-haired old man can also control the high-ranking imperial ministers in cabinet meetings, and the emperor will basically follow his opinions.
receive.
Even if they have political differences with Angus, no one dares to verbally insult the Prime Minister unless they don't want to live anymore.
When Augustus saw Angus today, the latter still maintained abundant energy and high enthusiasm for work. If it weren't for Angus's skill and ability, Augustus would have died of exhaustion on the throne.
.
Angus also brought good news to Augustus: after the Terran Empire fleet recaptured Moria, the capital star of the Kemorian Federation, he had taken full power to take over the Federation government through forced intervention as the emperor wished.
And announced that the resources of Moria and all its colonies will be reasonably allocated by the new government based on supply and demand during wartime.
As for the Imperial Fleet's defeat of the brainworm Carlos to regain the lost territory of the Federation, it was already two weeks ago.
Part of the reason for this is that the empire sent troops quickly and heavily. In addition, although Carlos believed that it had disintegrated the government and army of the Commonwealth, the fighting power of the civilian armed forces was far stronger and their will to resist was far beyond their imagination.
The Kaimorians are natural adventurers, good at exploring mineral deposits and doing business, but they are also a tough and martial race. Their civilian enthusiasm for war is different from the other two brothers in the Koprulu sector.
Seeing that Carlos could not attack for a long time, he was afraid of being surrounded by imperial reinforcements, so he decisively called for gold and retreated his troops. Cerebrates are such creatures, they can accept defeat calmly and never get discouraged.
Since then, the empire's army has actually controlled the entire Commonwealth. After all, although the Kaimorians have many planets, most of them are sparsely populated mining worlds.
It is easier to ask the gods than to give them away. When the coalition government has actually lost the trust and support of the people, the Tyran Empire has no intention of stopping here, but is using this to support a new government.
Ma Sakai, the former diplomat of the Camorian Federation in Augustgrad, has been appointed as the chairman and CEO of the Federation's board of directors. Since in the Camorian government system, the company is the government, Sakai
Logically speaking, he is already the actual ruler of the alliance.
As for the legal persons of Moria's largest corporate guilds, they have wisely announced that they will hand over the company's management rights and all resources to the reshuffled consortium board of directors, in exchange for the right to retain assets after the war. As for those who are unwilling to hand over their power
Augustus' general said euphemistically that the nobles of the old Commonwealth were a lesson to them.
Currently, the resources collected from the Kaimorian Complex mining area are placed under an organization called the War Resources Management Committee.
As a result, all the industries and shipyards of the Commonwealth have been transferred to the service of the Tyranid Empire, and massive resources are being converted into power armor, armored combat vehicles and star battleships. Although not directly incorporated into the Tyranid Empire, Kai
The Morian Commonwealth has effectively become a client state, and its government exists in name only.
In this way, no matter how Zacchaeus argued and swore that he would never betray the interests of the alliance, it seemed that it was a certainty that he had a secret deal with the Emperor of the Tyranids.
In fact, those who suffered the most were the very large guild companies in the Camorion Consortium, and even their founders were unable to decide on the day-to-day management of their companies or any of their resources.
As for the common people of Camorion and even most of the middle class, they found that they were better off than before. Not only did they receive additional subsidies, but their salary levels were greatly increased, and their working hours were continuously shortened, in line with the enterprises of the Tyranids.
Not only that, Augustus also spent huge sums of money to help the people of the Commonwealth rebuild their homes, which not only gained prestige among the Camorians, but also calmed the dissatisfaction of the people. Anyway, the money spent was the shareholders of the giant corporations of the Commonwealth Guild.
They have to be willing to pay for their money.
In addition to garrisoning troops in Moria and other places, Augustus also ordered the formation of the Kemorian militia, recruiting and training a large number of new soldiers. These warriors wearing rust-colored and mottled brass-colored full-face armor immediately became an indomitable force.
The neglected armed forces can be seen in various parts of the Commonwealth eradicating the zerg.
After the war is over, if the many guilds in the federation want to cut workers' wages, it may not be an easy task.
By the afternoon, Augustus was back at the center of operations at the Augustgrad Palace.
Good things come in pairs, and good news comes from the front line. According to the report of the scientific ship that has been tracking the primitive zerg for a long time, the primitive zerg that were driven out of the empire have encountered the Tal'darin protoss in the west of the empire, and both sides are warlike.
Races, they fight without asking for a reason, and they suddenly meet their opponents.
The cold and cruel Tal'darin protoss looked down upon the primitive zerg at all. As protoss, they remained as arrogant as ever.
At first, the Tal'darin protoss and the primitive zerg only encountered each other on a few planets in a local area. Once the war was ignited, it immediately expanded rapidly. But after being exposed to multiple terrazine production areas, the Tal'darin protoss suddenly became anxious.
They actually mobilized the fleet.
Judging from the current situation, the primitive zerg and Tal'darin will continue to fight for a while, until they realize that they cannot absorb the genetic essence of the protoss no matter what. By then, these interstellar gluttons may go home.
Anyway, if the Tal'darin protoss suffers a loss, the wicked Augustus will be happy.
But after sending away the primitive zerg, the dominator swarm behind is the real threat.
After four years of recuperation, the new master's mind has matured and truly controlled the insect swarm. The several cerebral insects under it have undoubtedly become more powerful. What will come next is the truly bloody and cruel battle for the Tyranids.
Battle, the current insect swarm can no longer be inferior to that during the Battle of El.
Fortunately, Augustus was already prepared.
"Your Majesty, Dr. Emil Narud has arrived." The Royal Guard guard guarding the gate of the combat center brought Narud, who had been traveling through wind and rain for many days, to Augustus.
All the senior imperial officers in the combat center rushed to shake hands with the famous Dr. Narud. This giant in the field of science was praised by the emperor as a treasure given to mankind by God. It is no exaggeration to say that Dr. Narud made Tyran
Humanity's technology has made great strides forward for a generation, and without Narud, it is conservatively estimated that it would have taken at least thirty years for humans to reach the current level.
Dr. Narud is responsible for multiple scientific research projects at the same time. He is not only repairing the Xel'Naga world ship in the Sigma Quadrant, but also responsible for the Skygeirr Platform and Prometheus space station, the Empire's secret weapons laboratory.
Preparatory work.
In order to protect these confidential projects, Emperor Augustus specially sent the Moebius Corps to assist.
"The beloved First Emperor of the Terran Empire, His Majesty Augustus Mengsk. When I learned that you were going to summon me, I immediately put down all the work I was doing and rushed to Augustgrad without stopping." Dr. Narud
He said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a clean white square towel.
The doctor wears a crisp suit, tie, trousers and leather shoes. He is a Xel'naga who prides himself on being noble. Even if he becomes a human, he is still a noble among them.
"Dear Emil." The emperor looked very happy: "I have ordered the kitchen to help you clean up the dust. It is really hard to travel all the way back from the Sigma sector."
The Sigma Sector is a borderland among borderlands. Although colonies have been established on more than a dozen habitable planets, the material life is ultimately not as good as that of the prosperous core world.
Even returning to Korhal from the Sigma Sector would require spending many days on the road.
"Time is tight, let's talk about work first." Dr. Narud is a well-known workaholic. Even scientists who are forty years younger than him can't keep up with his inhuman work intensity and internal content.
Excellent work schedule.
If one were to select an employee model worker award within the Tyran Empire, Tanarud would have deserved it every year in the past four years.
"When the spacecraft docked at Brontë Prime, I heard rumors of the Jormungandr swarm landing in Tasha, which indicates that the swarm army will soon arrive in the Koprulu sector." Narud said worriedly:
"Jörmungandr has always been the vanguard of the Overlord in every insect invasion."
"Your Majesty, let me see the Xel'Naga artifact. If my research is correct, then it is a magical weapon to deal with the Zerg."
"That's what I meant." The black-hearted boss Augustus pondered for a moment and then agreed. This hypocritical guy had no intention of entertaining Narud, and it would be a waste to feed him anyway.
There is a science laboratory in the Augustgrad Palace, which contains the most advanced cutting-edge equipment of the Terran Empire. If you take the elevator, you can reach it in a few minutes.
Therefore, Augustus ordered Lieutenant General Ulysses to temporarily stay in the combat center to control the situation, and took Renault and others to the palace laboratory with Narud.
As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, Dr. Narud was immediately excited by something suspended in a three-dimensional tripod device and glass curtain wall.
It was a Mitsubishi cylinder that exuded a soft copper-blue luster. The dark surface of this Mitsubishi cylinder seemed to have been baptized by countless epochs, and was outlined with mysterious and magnificent lines. The sky-blue light emitted from it was like the sacred radiance from heaven.
Even the rude barbarians and the most insane thugs who don't know what art is will be impressed by this creation that contains the beauty of Xel'Naga art, as if every cell, every DNA and RNA in them is exclaiming in admiration.
The beauty of natural rhythm and harmony has been imitated by the stars for thousands of years, but they are still imitating it.
In the laboratory, the five Xel'Naga artifact fragments that were originally scattered and stored have been reassembled and are studied and maintained by Dr. Egon Stetman on weekdays.
"The person who created it must be the real god in this world." Dr. Narud said excitedly to Augustus: "Please forgive my gaffe, but Xel'Naga's technology looks like a miracle to us humans."
"So you think so too." Egon Stetmann, who was analyzing the artifact, was initially at a loss because of the emperor's sudden arrival. When he heard this, he immediately said: "Heroes see the same thing."
Augustus glanced at Narud and said nothing.
"Honestly, I never know how this thing can be used to deal with zerg." Although Renault is a rough man, he also knows how to appreciate art and beauty. If Harnak and Tychus have already picked up the Xel'Naga artifact
Went to kill bugs.
"I said that the Xel'Naga once modified the protoss and zerg life forms on a large scale. For them, something that can destroy their DNA is of course a weapon." Narud looked at the Xel'Naga artifact.
, very excited:
"Although this has nothing to do with the original intention of the designer, we have found a way to use the Xel'Naga artifact-in a human way."
"I will try to modify the Xel'Naga artifact method, and then make it release a powerful subsonic shock wave, which is enough to kill a large number of zerg on a large scale. I call that"
"Energy nova, or nova impact. And you said that this subsonic wave frequency will not affect humans, which is incredible." Augustus said: "You mentioned the energy nova to me in detail in the report
How it works, but I don’t understand it at all.”
This was true, but although Augustus couldn't understand it, he immediately ordered other scientists under his command to conduct large-scale experiments and research on the mode of Xel'Naga artifact releasing energy nova, in an effort to achieve the goal without Narud.
Learn how to use it below.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Next, I will show you how the Xel'Naga artifact works when releasing Nova Impact." Narud smiled.
Augustus couldn't understand what he was laughing at.
"The artifact is yours now, Dr. Narud. I hope you won't use it to do strange things." Renault added.
At this time, a ball of shadow slowly wandered into the laboratory. It was the Royal Brain Worm. It lived not far from here and often went to its close friend Stetman for physical examinations.
Half of Brainworm's face was hidden under the navy's large-brimmed military cap, and his fat body cast an eerie shadow in the light.
An extremely ferocious brain worm, the son of the Lord, the overlord of the insect swarm, the salt fish of the empire, the kind that jumps up and slaps you in the face when it gets anxious.
"Are there any guests?" Brainworm looked at the laboratory and crawled in slowly:
"Sorry, I'm not wearing pants today."
"You lazy idiot," Augustus scolded, "You should have been here an hour ago."
"You are being racist." Brainworm didn't give in at all: "Dagos, Yak, Gog, and Sass, they are more at home than me."
"I can't care about them," the emperor said.
"You fucking dog." The brainworm hunched its back like an angry cat, about to violently hurt someone, but found Dr. Narud here. This dog emperor is very vengeful, and it is the only one who can cross the river like this.
Only fierce insects will fight to the end.
"My dear friend! Dr. Narud, last time you said you wanted to install a prosthetic limb for me, it's been so long. How is the progress?" The brainworm crawled in front of Dr. Narud and winked.
say.
Although the master of the swarm created by the master, this brainworm could not evolve limbs. It could only find another way to find people from Cerberus Company to become a cyberworm. But the people from Cerberus have a professional
His quality is really not very high, and he cannot meet the almost demanding requirements of the brainworm.
What it takes is a pair of legs that can run at Mach 300 and hands that are flexible enough to shake hands. It is really difficult for someone to do.
"Ah - this matter? Progress." Narud couldn't remember when he promised this brainworm, but he responded quickly:
"It'll be soon, it'll be soon."
"Okay." Brainworm was happy, remembering that Augustus hadn't told him what he was here for:
"By the way, why did you come to me?"
"Let's do a little test." Augustus pointed at the Xel'Naga artifact.
