579.Kyber Crystal
Tang Xiao saw a group of heavily armed jackals in front of him, escorting a large machine past. These jackals all wear combat armor specially designed for their size, and the weapons they hold in their hands are the M-90 Thor automatic sniper rifles that have just been developed.
Jackals have very developed visual nerves, which makes them very suitable as scouts, snipers and pilots, and the troops guarding this scientific research facility have become such troops all equipped with sniper rifles.
With the current increase in population, the Salarians have also established an elite special forces force, numbering about 1,000 people, while the gnolls have been organized by the Salarians to form a force of 100,000 people, always ready to meet possible emergencies. war mission.
And because the Salarians have extremely fast metabolism and reaction speed, they are very suitable for scientific research and espionage work. Therefore, the number of Salarians in the intelligence and scientific research departments of the fourth civilization is constantly increasing. .
It can be said that the cooperation between the two parties is deepening day by day.
Several Salarians wearing white clothes came forward, the first of whom was Professor Mordin. Before Tang Xiao could speak, he took the lead and said: "The two things you sent recently are of great research value. I have established a scientific research team but we need more resources and manpower to carry out research."
"I don't need you to conduct research on the Force-driven robot for the time being. I have found some people who are more sensitive to the Force. And this extractor is a very important research project. The information you sent me before was Say, this technology may allow us to achieve a breakthrough in particle light spear technology?”
"Arroyo Barlow already has a particle spear project team in his hands, but it cannot meet the demand in terms of energy focusing. The extractor's technology is very critical, and Kyber crystal seems to be a very suitable material." Professor Modin said.
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "However, Kyber crystal is very rare and is unlikely to be used in large-scale manufacturing of battleships."
"It depends on the results of the research. We will find ways to reduce the amount of Kyber Crystal, but research still requires Kyber Crystal, which is very critical." Professor Modin said.
"Kyber crystal..." Tang Xiao frowned and pondered.
The Salarians obviously couldn't stand such silence, and Professor Mordin began to chatter about his current research topic again. As a biologist, he has now begun to turn his research direction to the Force. He wants to explore the nature of the mysterious power of the Force.
Because the world of "Mass Effect" also has supernatural powers, he was not too surprised by the existence of the Force, but attributed it to a unique cosmic energy.
However, Tang Xiao understood that the Salarians, who had a more systematic and materialistic way of thinking, were not very good at supernatural powers such as the Force and supernatural powers. On the contrary, Protoss and Asari who have more idealistic thinking patterns are often able to go deeper into their research on the Force and supernatural powers.
But he did not dampen Professor Mordin's enthusiasm, and was already seriously considering the issue of where to obtain enough Kyber crystals.
He interrupted Professor Mordin who was talking and said: "Under such circumstances, if we want to get enough Kyber crystals, I think we have only one way to go."
"Go on."
"War and plunder." Tang Xiao said.
"In view of the current situation that we are at war with the Galactic Republic, I will assure you that this offensive you launched will be worthwhile." Professor Mordin is not a holy mother. His logic is very straightforward. Since both the Republic and the Republic have already Once he started fighting, there was no need to hesitate to use war and plunder to obtain the experimental materials he wanted.
Tang Xiao nodded, "Then I will arrange this matter."
"If possible, the Salarians will also participate in this war. Let's start with this offensive. This is the conclusion reached by our council. In addition, Professor Arroyo's research has produced results. You can go and watch this new warship." Mo. Professor Ding said.
"I'll go to the encrypted communication room first." Tang Xiao said as he walked towards the interior of the experimental base.
Arriving at the dedicated communication room with a hyperspace communication amplifier and signal encryption device, Tang Xiao connected to a secret communication.
A man who looked like a spider appeared in the projection. He was the Hutch, Admiral Trench.
Tang Xiao noticed that there was an extra medal on the chest of his general uniform. This is the Order of the Nebula, one of the highest honors of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It seems that it was awarded in recognition of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Geonosis.
"Excuse me, what are your orders... Lord Governor, tut tut tut tut..." Admiral Trench asked, twirling his limbs at the corner of his mouth.
"If I remember correctly, according to the original plan, you were supposed to attack the planet Christophsis at the beginning of the war, right? Does the Confederacy's highest military command have any further instructions now?" Tang Xiao asked.
"The plan to attack the planet Christophsis has been postponed, tsk tsk tsk tsk... because my fleet suffered heavy losses on the planet Geonosis and needs more time to replenish it." Admiral Trench answer.
"I want this planet." Tang Xiao said straightforwardly.
"Although, I am willing to comply with your plan, tsk tsk tsk tsk, but even if we capture this planet, there will be variables because it is too far away from the Dawn Planet, tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench shook his head. Shake his head.
"The planet Christophersis is not far from Tatooine, so I naturally have the ability to take this planet into my possession." Tang Xiao said.
"This requires the cooperation of Parcel Argent... tsk tsk tsk tsk. This star area is the area of the Enterprise Alliance." Admiral Trench stroked his limbs, "If you don't want to make it public... tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk , I do have a... plan."
After the discussion was finalized, Tang Xiao connected to the communication of Lin Nanyi, who was currently in command of Fleet B, and gave him some explanation before walking out of the encrypted communication room.
The planet Christophersis was his answer.
This is a planet made almost entirely of crystals. There are countless crystal mines on the planet, and there are all kinds of crystals, almost all-encompassing. Naturally, this also includes the most mysterious and rarest thing in the galaxy, the Kyber Crystal.
As one of the main sources of Kyber crystals in the Milky Way, the planet Christophsis is remote and close to Hutt space, so it is very difficult to manage and defend. It has naturally become the coveted target of the Federation of Independent Systems.
And Tang Xiao's eyes were also looking here.
