"The hypermatter engine is operating normally..."
"Anti-gravity component activated..."
"The radar system is online..."
"Deflector shield cycle completed..."
"The Kaibo crystal focusing system has been calibrated..." Dozens of technicians were constantly operating in front of the computer terminals, and the three-liang extractor tanks parked in the spacious hangar platform had been started.
Severance Tann looked at these three huge tanks, turned around and asked, "Can these three things be used in actual combat now?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure that the technology used in this thing goes against the common sense of physics I know. This Kyber crystal is so amazing." Leading these technical staff was a Salarian engineer who spoke as if he was exploding. Same as fried beans.
"Where are the Wookiee scientists we just captured?" Severance Tann asked.
The Salarian engineer pointed in another direction and began to communicate quickly with several human scientists next to him. The overwhelming number of professional terms made even Tann, a super genius, stay away. He deeply understood what It's called specialization in the art industry.
Severance Tann walked over and saw five Wookiees wearing white coats and glasses locked up with laser fences in an office that was used as a temporary prison. These Wookiee scientists bared their teeth at her, looking like they didn't want to communicate with her at all.
Tann signaled the B-1 combat robot next to him to open the laser fence, and said to these Wookiee scientists: "Tell me all the information you know about the extractor, and I can..."
Before she could finish her words, those Wookiees in white coats and glasses, who looked like gentle beasts, roared and rushed forward!
Uh-huh! ! The yellow lightsaber was drawn out instantly, killing all these Wookiee scientists almost in one encounter!
Severance Tann put away her lightsaber, walked up to the Salarian and said, "No need, just open the hangar platform and conduct a test firing, and then we'll set off!"
The Salarian engineer looked at the several corpses on the ground, waved his hand for the cleaning robot to come and clean, and then said: "The data has been sent back to Dawn Planet, but for the next step of research, these prototypes should be brought back. It is not recommended to use them directly. Actual combat.”
"Depending on the power of these things, I will decide the next step, let's get started." Severance Tann said.
The Salarian engineer did not refute much, and immediately directed the unfolding of the hangar platform, and then asked the technicians to drive the three extractors to the exit of the hangar platform and make final preparations.
With the control of the technicians, the red ball in the center of the three extractors began to react, and green light began to swim among the balls, becoming stronger and more dazzling. Finally, these green lights converged into one point, Launch instantly!
The target they chose was the largest island on the Wookiee island chain's defense line, the main building of the Extractor Project Research Institute on Ravavarok Island. This is a 200-meter-tall all-metal building with a structure comparable to a battleship. Defense capabilities.
However, when the three green rays of light emitted by the extractor shone on the building, the huge building was instantly penetrated, forming three large holes with a diameter of more than ten meters! Moreover, the surrounding gaps were burned red by the extremely high temperature, and the molten metal fell like rain. Finally, there was a terrible roar and the entire building collapsed.
Seeing the terrifying power of the extractor, Severance Tann sneered and nodded.
…
At this time, the all-out war between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic was intensifying, and both sides began to launch their own battle plans.
On June 1, 22 BBY, part of the clone army that had retreated from the battlefield of Geonosis planet San was completed. These clone soldiers showed incredible physical fitness, and it only took 2 days to recover as before. Both physically and mentally, I have returned to peak condition.
So the Galactic Republic Strategic Command decided to launch a counterattack.
The first target they selected was a remote mining planet, Atraken. The Galactic Republic deployed 10,000 clone troops to land here.
The planet Atlaken is not a habitable planet, mainly due to its toxic atmosphere, but several colonies have still been established here and are home to about 1 million people, most of whom are miners.
However, when he learned that the Galactic Republic had suddenly attacked the planet Atraken, Shu Mai, the owner of the industry on the planet and the chairman of the commerce guild, acted very tough. She did not hesitate to send an army of robots to reinforce, and the two sides started a fierce battle in the ravine-lined mines on the planet's surface.
Almost on the same day, the fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by General Grievous, raided the planet Exkar, defeated the local defenders of the planet within 15 hours, and completely occupied the planet.
On June 3, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, the masters and apprentices stationed in the Tion sector, discovered a mysterious independent system Confederacy battle group, which included 6 Rukrihus. The K-class battleship behaves strangely.
They relied on their own force to follow them all the way, and finally confirmed that the target of this battle group was a very remote planet, the planet RhenVar.
How could a small planet attract the attention of such a huge fleet? Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker immediately reported the intelligence to the Republic Strategic Command, but the answer they received was that the planet Len-Var had no strategic value and it was recommended to abandon it.
…
At the same time, the Endor system, the planet Dawn.
"I sincerely express my greatest respect for the bravery and bravery of your subordinate troops, Your Majesty the Governor." In the holographic projection, Count Dooku bowed to Tang Xiao very elegantly, "Because of the performance of the Dawn Planet fleet on Bespin, let us The Confederacy of Independent Systems has greater strategic space, which may open up a broad road to victory."
"But the price is that half of my fleet has almost lost the ability to continue fighting, and you should understand that our productivity is far from comparable to that of the Galactic Republic. Therefore, I will deeply remember your almost indifferent stand-by. Yes, Count Dooku." Tang Xiao didn't appreciate it and said coldly.
"I hope you can understand my difficulties at that time... If possible, I am willing to provide you with the greatest compensation possible." Count Dooku sighed, "The Gran people of the Golden Rock Planet, I have ordered them to Enter your western theater and accept your leadership. And after our new batch of warships are produced, I will allocate 10 Shenyi-class destroyers and 50 Generosity-class communications frigates to support your combat operations. In addition In addition, I sincerely invite you to participate in the maiden voyage ceremony of our newly built super battleship."
The command authority of 2 billion Gran people, plus 10 of the latest Shenyi-class destroyers, and 50 of the Generous class to make up the number... This is indeed very sincere.
You must know that the Gran people are not some messy backward race, but a race with advanced civilization. The loyalty of the Gran people can indeed greatly enhance the strength of their fourth civilization.
However, Tang Xiao did not comment and just said lightly: "This war is a common cause for all of us. You should be very clear, Count Dooku, real power and real ideals do not rely on the charity of others, but You should hold it in your own hands."
If his words meant anything, even Count Dooku frowned slightly.
Tang Xiao continued: "Although my loss is heavy, I am willing to fight to the end for our great new order. The only question is whether this is really valuable."
Count Dooku smiled slightly, "I am very pleased to see your determination, Your Majesty the Governor. With a visionary like you joining us, I believe we will succeed."
He touched his gray beard, "I can't wait to have a drink with you now and enjoy the joy of victory, but please forgive me for delaying for a few days. I am commanding the battle on the planet Len-Var. When I solve the problem here, After what happens, I will come and visit in person."
After saying that, he bowed to Tang Xiao again.
Tang Xiao also bowed in return, and the communication ended.
"Planet Ren-Val... I remember that planet is very remote..." Tang Xiao frowned, "Why would Count Dooku go there in person? Wait a minute..."
He suddenly thought of something and was slightly shocked, "Planet Ren-Var... I remember there seemed to be a ruins... I remembered it! It belongs to the ancient Sith Lord, Ulic Qel-Droma. Mausoleum! I asked Dooku why he disappeared immediately after the war started. It turned out that he was secretly excavating the ruins of the ancient Sith Empire!!"
He felt a little unwilling, but he was relieved immediately. The galaxy is so big, even if you know the plot, you can't catch everything.
Moreover, don't just talk about others, didn't you also abandon the Fourth Civilization at the beginning of the war and go and dig up Lucien Del Rey's grave?
Speaking of Lucien Del Rey, Tang Xiao looked at the list of awakening people he was checking just now. This was the person he was hesitating about when Count Dooku sent the communication just now.
This is a very important decision, and he doesn't have much leverage right now, which makes him a little less confident, but...
According to his judgment, it is only a matter of time before Lucien Del Rey's soul compromises with him, so the excavation and research of Force technology in the Temple of the Jedi Covenant on the Del Rey II satellite will be put on the agenda - don't Not to mention, the 20-meter-tall, Force-driven, large-scale robot guard is currently placed in the research center on the planet Cave-Bill, a planet given to the Salarians.
And if he remembered correctly, Count Dooku went to the planet Len-Var for a piece of Force technology, and there was no doubt that it was under the instruction of Darth Sidious.
In fact, in the "Star Wars" universe, the most powerful thing is always the Force. In comparison, ordinary physics is completely useless and even vulnerable to the Force.
The Force can do all kinds of incredible things, as can be seen from the extremely powerful Jedi Knights and Sith Lords. Immortality, controlling time, creating life, predicting the future, etc. Such terrifying abilities all come from the Force.
Naturally, Force-related technologies developed based on the Force are also extremely powerful.
Darth Sidious must be aware of this.
The Clone Wars are not the end, but the beginning. Tang Xiao knows this very well. Now he is just hiding behind the scenes, but this will not always be the case. When he steps up to the stage and confronts Darth Sidious, who controls the entire Galactic Republic and even the Galactic Empire that will later be restructured, he must rely on such supernatural power!
Research on force technology is imperative.
Moreover, in the mysterious and all-encompassing database of the Glory mothership, it is not that there are no existences of similar power. For example, the psychic powers of "StarCraft", the superpowers of "Mass Effect", etc. Tang Xiao also wanted to understand how these things would be related to the Force if they were brought into this universe.
He waved his finger on the name of a legendary figure and finally pressed it.
This is a very risky decision. As mentioned before, he does not have many trump cards to talk to this race now.
Yes, this character is not human, but belongs to a powerful race.
According to Tang Xiao's previous experience of awakening the Salarian people, when awakening a foreign character, if you want to gain their loyalty, you must negotiate from the perspective of race.
This is different from those human characters awakened. For a human character, no matter what, first of all, the most essential starting point for you and him is the same - that is to survive as a human being. With this default premise, you will discuss things like values and interest orientation.
But a foreigner is different! First of all, you have to explain to the other party how his race will survive, how it will reproduce, and what role it will play. Under this theme, personal interests are only secondary.
In other words, this kind of transaction is not the kind of human master-level figure who can be satisfied with a good team, a good environment, and good conditions.
Such a transaction is at least planet level!
Tang Xiao thought about the conditions he could offer and made this decision.
It was not that he had no compromise choices, and in fact before Dooku sent the communication, he was indeed hesitating whether to choose an easier target to control, but when he learned that Count Dooku was excavating the tomb of an ancient Sith Lord, , he made up his mind.
It's impossible to defeat Darth Sidious step by step!
For the final victory, he is willing to pay any price!
Decide, wake up!
The data in his mind began to scroll. At this moment, even Tang Xiao, who had mastered the dark side of the Force, could not help but breathe quickly.
His eyes fell on this person's information.
In the race column of this person's information, there is a long string of letters written -
Protoss!
Protoss!
From, "StarCraft"!
This is not a familiar protoss character. He doesn't have many roles, and he is only a legend. In Tang Xiao's opinion, those names among the star spirits that are as good as donkeys are guaranteed to be legendary. However, although there are a few question marks at the legendary level now, he did not wake up the legendary star directly. It is better if the spirit begins to awaken.
And this person...should be very consistent with his current needs.
Compared to going directly to someone like Archbishop Artanis, this person might have a slightly higher chance of accepting his conditions.
