Chapter 11 Psionic Battle Armor
In an open space a few kilometers away from the whaling station, the Banshee fighter jet was parked not far away, and the Cerberus mercenaries, led by Glaven, lined up and waited for something.
A few minutes later, a small aircraft with a strong sci-fi flavor appeared in mid-air and landed slowly in front of them. It was the Ghost fighter piloted by Chris.
As the hatch of the Phantom fighter opened, a heavily armed Chris appeared in front of the Cerberus mercenaries. However, unlike the CMC powered armor worn by the Cerberus, the armor on Chris looked very light.
And it was very beautiful and golden. It looked like a golden holy garment inlaid with sapphires. This made Chris look not like he was here to fight at all, but more like he had just come back from a cartoon show.
However, the mercenaries of Cerberus are not stupid, and they will definitely not say this, especially after knowing Chris's identity. What's more, if the boss Glavin doesn't say anything, they will not say anything.
Opinion.
Of course, what Chris is wearing cannot really be a golden holy garment, nor is it a cosplay. In fact, Glavin is very familiar with the display stand on Chris, and he is very envious of it. In fact, if he could, Glavin
He was even willing to trade a battle cruiser for Chris's armor.
Because Chris's armor is a psychic armor used by fanatics that has been modified using protoss technology (the psychic energy of protoss and the psionic energy of humans are the same thing, they just have different names)
Although in the StarCraft game, Zealots are just the same basic unit as the human machine gunners and the Zerg's springtails, commonly known as puppies.
But if you really think that the combat effectiveness of zealots is similar to that of machine gunners and puppies, then you lose. The game sets zealots as primary arms and adjusts the combat effectiveness to a similar level, just for the sake of game balance.
That's all.
You must know that the Protoss is a race known as the Gods. Each Protoss, whether it is technology or personal combat power, is a powerful existence for humans and Zerg, just like the one in the animated CG that deals with puppies.
A group of fanatics who are as chopping melons and vegetables as they are, that is their true strength.
In the interstellar world, before the Xel'Naga created the Zerg, the real protoss, the Protoss was the most successful work they created, and was even awarded the title of "People of God" by the Xel'Naga.
The Protoss race, under the guidance of the Xel'Naga, can be said to have created the most splendid civilization in the interstellar world.
However, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.
As the protoss developed, they became more and more proud. Not only did they become divided within themselves, but they also became hostile to their creator, and eventually attacked and killed some xel'naga.
In the end, the Xel'Naga left, completely abandoning the race.
After the Xel'Naga left, the order of the Protoss civilization completely collapsed. In the following years, the Protoss tribe began the bloodiest cannibalism in history, detonating its own civil war.
I am willing to recall a period of historical "catastrophe" in which this originally extremely prosperous civilization of gods and people almost reached the edge of extinction.
Until the appearance of a protoss named Korhal, Korhal discovered the Kedarin crystal left by the Xel'Naga people. Using the unique ability of this crystal, he formed a new spiritual network and established the religion of the heart.
Faith - Kara (the way of sublimation), the emergence of Kara changed the social hierarchy of the Protoss, reintegrated the civilization of the Protoss, and at the same time began to learn from their former creator, Xel'Naga, and began to "relieve the weak and help the weak"
The behavior pattern of "leaning in" protects the weak civilization.
It's a pity that such a glorious history and powerful civilization did not allow the Protoss to take advantage of humans and Zerg, because the reproduction ability of the Protoss is too low. Although after the catastrophe of the ages, the population of the Protoss once reached 1 billion.
It sounds like a lot of numbers, but to be honest, this number is less than a fraction of the number of star systems in the Milky Way... There are 100-400 billion stars in the entire Milky Way.
The number 1 billion is not enough to spread to the entire galaxy, let alone the entire universe.
Therefore, the number 1 billion is really pitifully small for the only race among the three races that has the ability to span large galaxies...
Yes, compared to humans and Zerg whose footprints have always been limited to the Milky Way, the Protoss is the only race among the three races that has stepped out of the Milky Way. In the plot, the reason why the Protoss’ home planet was easily captured by the Zerg is because of carelessness.
Outside, there is the most powerful combat force of the protoss - the exploration fleet with the Mother Ship as the core. They are not exploring in Aiur, but in various distant star fields in the universe.
In addition to its poor reproductive capacity, the Kala religion's strict control over the protoss and its excessive emphasis on spiritual communication, coupled with the long life of the protoss, have also reduced the already small population of this race.
The birth rate has been reduced to the lowest level.
Therefore, compared to humans and Zerg, which have extremely strong reproductive capabilities, the protoss is truly dying one by one.
In this situation, the life of every protoss is extremely precious. Even if it is disabled, it must be immersed in a machine like the Immortal to continue to exert its residual heat.
So as the backbone combat force of the Protoss, how can the suits worn by the Zealots be compared to the popular products like CMC Powered Armor?
Although the Protoss technology that Chris unlocked was extremely low, he was very lucky that the armor used by the Protoss fell within the unlocked range and was one of the very few Protoss equipment that Chris had complete technology for.
Of course, Chris's armor is definitely not copied from the original. After all, there are big differences in the body structure between humans and protoss, and many materials are not available on the earth, not even artificial CDs, so we can only use some
Material substitution on Earth.
Even so, Chris has only made this psychic armor with the help of Rory Swann so far. It's not that he can't make more, but that this thing is too expensive.
It's so expensive that there's a reason why Glaven is willing to trade a battlecruiser for one.
In fact, the total cost of the two battle cruisers in Chris's underground base is only more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Taking into account the other various fighters and weapons and equipment equipped, it is less than 30 billion U.S. dollars.
However, the cost of this psychic armor cost Chris nearly $4 billion.
Isn’t it a bit unbelievable?
But this is actually not surprising. Although the technology of human beings in the interstellar world is thousands of years advanced than the technology of the earth, generally speaking, it is still the same. Many future technologies already have a certain theoretical basis.
Moreover, the modern industrial system has been very complete. Many of the human technologies in the interstellar world can be used directly. The only difference is materials and energy.
But Protoss technology is different. This is a technology system that is completely different from the human technology system. Humanity's original industrial system is basically useless for the research of Prosto technology. If you want to manufacture it, you really can only rely on
Money piled up, and naturally, the cost reached a terrifying figure. If there were just a few more pieces, Chris could declare bankruptcy.
Although Osborne Industries has a market value of nearly 800 billion U.S. dollars due to Chris' cheating, you must know that Osborne Industries is not the private property of the Osborne family. In fact, the Osborne family only owns about 45% of the group.
It's just equity, it belongs entirely to Chris himself, even less, but about 15%.
In fact, Chris has used the company's resources a lot in his private work over the years. Otherwise, how do you think he got the base in his estate? If he hadn't been able to make money for Osborne Company, he would have been held accountable by the board of directors.
But the money was well spent for Chris.
The performance of the psychic armor itself is very powerful.
The armor itself has physical protection capabilities that far exceed those of the CMC armor. It is also equipped with a plasma shield generating device, which can effectively defend against both physical attacks and energy attacks.
At the same time, psionic armor, like CMC power armor, can greatly enhance the wearer's strength, speed, endurance and explosive power. Its increase is several times that of CMC power armor.
In addition, the armor is also equipped with vital sign monitors and navigation tools, but the most important thing is the crystal array on the surface of the armor, which is also the most expensive part of the entire armor.
The crystal inlaid on the genuine psychic armor is the unique treasure left by the Xel'Naga to the Protoss. The Kedarin crystal is a blue organic gem that has a certain ability to think for itself. It is the Protoss.
It is the core of many intelligent machines of the clan. It can also greatly increase the spiritual energy of the protoss and has certain anti-gravity properties. Relying on this gem, the protoss can use their spiritual energy to have a certain ability to fly and float. The most important thing is this
This kind of gem has space attributes, and all the space technology of the Star Spirit Tribe relies on this kind of gem.
In other words, by wearing a suit inlaid with such gems, the protoss warrior can increase his spiritual power, fly, and teleport.
Unfortunately, although this kind of gem can be obtained through artificial cultivation and accelerated growth, it cannot be synthesized artificially at all. In other words, with Kedarin crystal, you can cultivate more and more, but if you don't have it, you don't have it.
Therefore, the lack of Kedarin crystal has become the biggest obstacle for Chris to study protoss technology in depth.
In fact, the same goes for the Zerg. Without genetic samples, Chris could not breed any Zerg at all.
The gems on Chris' armor are just a kind of gem imitated by humans in the interstellar world based on the characteristics of the Kedarin crystal.
Self-thinking ability? Sorry, no. Anti-gravity ability? Sorry, no. Space teleportation? Sorry, still no.
