The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"The operation is over, and the damaged armor has been peeled off. The physiological indicators have returned to normal, but he doesn't seem to wake up at all—his brain activity is very low, as if he has hibernated." The crazy doctor beat He yawned and asked, "Has the Chief Librarian asked him?"

"It only said that 'missionaries are resourceful and must be treated with caution'." Liu Lizi replied, her ears drooped on the top of her head as if she was rarely in a state of spirit, "I can't see the relationship between husband and wife at all."

"Perhaps in her eyes, the missionary is already dead. The missionary was already dead when he had a nervous breakdown, but his body has survived to this day." Veronica came over and gently pressed Fran "Maybe the pioneers have some unique insights into consciousness and soul?"

Oregana looked at the missionary who was bound on the bed, the big hole in his chest had been mended, and he was slightly undulating.In the past, he used the imprint of his personality to turn a young pioneer into a new star missionary. How did other people think about this at that time?

What does the chief think tank think?

This fragment of consciousness obviously knew that she was not the real think tank chief, but was only acting in her way of thinking.This technology of copying personality data into devices, or other bodies, or even bodies with personalities is a taboo among taboos in Tartarus, and naturally there is no relevant psychological research on this phenomenon.

I'm afraid only she knows...

"Requiem's ​​Prometheus troops are currently on standby, and the Librarian has regained control. She wants to liberate these consciousnesses, but she has not been able to locate the entire network. So we have to send psykers to go further Investigate." Fran stretched out her arms, her posture looked like Avalokitesvara "In the worst case, there is no 'host' at all, and we may have to destroy all 'bodies' ' to liberate them all, which is a big project."

Before she finished speaking, Oregana's communication rang, and the other party was a dark angel——

[Boss, St. Helios' communication! 】

"Oh?"

[A cruise ship spotted the Dreadnought, but now the Arbiter's troops have no way to control that ship.So desperately looking for help. 】

"!!"

Oregana raised one eyebrow, showing a surprised expression.

Before, the Arbiter Till Vadam led the rebel army into the City of Fraternity and defeated the Prophet, but then, the Prophet of Truth led his guards and ran away in the Forerunner Holy Key Ship regardless of the structural integrity of the City of Fraternity Way to go, this opened a big hole in the city of fraternity, and a large number of civilians died within dozens of hours of suffocation caused by the interruption of energy supply, loss of temperature and even lack of water, resulting in extremely tragic consequences.

In order to apprehend the chief war criminal, Artes Vatum, the Sangheili warrior known as 'Captain Halfmouth' led his wrath fleet to hunt down the Keyship.The fleet, which includes two CAS-class attack carriers and nine CCS-class cruisers, is a formidable strike force, but the key is that their enemies are not easy to mess with.

The Scythe of War mentioned before, whether there will be a situation where it is finally caught up but found to be invincible. Now it seems that the Scythe of War's guess is very reasonable.

The request for help at this point in time is not just a simple request for help. Considering the tradition and culture of the Sangheili people, this request for help also represents a show of weakness and trust—this is exactly what I want to see.

She nodded:

"There is no problem. Fran, I will leave you to investigate the matter of the Prometheus knight!"

"Yes, leave it to me!"

——————————————————————————————————

December 2552, 12 local time, around 31:[-] pm.The Tartarus Fleet Titan 'Quetzalucoatl Requiem Thunderer' (Note ①) and its Direct Guard Fleet cooperated with the Scourge Fleet to capture the cooling and continuous operation of the jump engine in the Betelgeuse star system the Intrepid.The titan ship's instrument of aurora destroyed the shield of the holy key ship that the wrathful retribution fleet had been unable to shake in just one shot, and the rest of the wave destroyed the main thruster of the holy key ship in one fell swoop.Perhaps the strength of the shield was much greater than this, but obviously the pilot didn't know how to use the full power of the ship, and couldn't even do reasonable maintenance.

(Note ①: Fleet Titan is used as the flagship of the battle group or the flagship of the squadron. It is difficult to be sunk at ordinary times, so it must have the glory that ordinary ships do not have. Its naming method is a combination of the name obtained at the factory and the achievements of participating in the battle later. , the name will become longer and longer, if she is not sunk... This nomenclature has caused a huge obstacle to the card design of the sea rabbit)

The Prophet of Truth was nearly insane when captured.He knew early on that his plot had been completely exposed and his life was at stake, but he didn't intend to catch him without a fight and resign himself to fate.When the marines broke into his room, he held two Brute needle guns and fired fiercely at the door-any soldier who dared to break in would be smashed into an ugly sieve by the powerful needle bullets.

Sometimes the arm strength of the San Simis really makes people feel strange... How can they be able to shoot the ghost-faced beast needle gun with one hand when they look at such a thin hand?Put it down to the magic of adrenaline anyway.

But for Artes Vatum, a veteran former special operations force captain, the cowardly and weak resistance of the Prophet of Truth meant nothing.He dodged the needle bullets that were shot at him with a roll - if it was an ordinary needle gun, it might be a bit threatening, but now these needle bullets can only spark sparks at his feet.He was close within seconds, unleashed the power sword, and split the Seer's floating throne before he could react, before knocking the Prophet of Truth from his chair with a hard blow.

Then, on January 2553, 1 local time, Quetzalcoatl, Requiem Thunderer, Rigel, and Ghost Shadow arrived on Earth.The Prophet of Truth, the Prophet of Mercy was escorted to Earth and indicted on January 3th on more than seventy counts, not only against humans, but also against the Covenant races.Also being tried were the general Kirahani who finally fled with the Prophet of Truth and tried to resist, and a small number of diehard Sangheili commanders.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a defense attorney, and there is nothing to defend.The result was simple, they were sentenced to hang.Initially, someone in Sword of St. Helios hoped that the Ministry of Consolidation would send out executioners to carry out a 'ceremonial' head-off on them.But Oregana rejected this request - criminals who committed war crimes against humans must be executed by humans.It doesn't matter if it's on the battlefield. Since the trial has been made public, it has to follow the rules.

Looking at the corpse hanging in mid-air, Tier Vadam felt a sense of guilt tormenting his heart. For a moment, he even wished that he would also be tried there, and then be hanged, and use his own life to pay for it. Everything... However, my own life is not enough to pay for it.

I only have one life, how can I repay the countless people who died under my own gunfire?

He felt exhausted, but he had to brace himself—the Sangheili still needed him, and he had to spend the rest of his life to pay for what he had done.

Suddenly, he found a human officer walking beside him.Even though the officer's skin was wrinkled with age, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's:

"I remember how this war started, and I will never forget what your people have done. I will never forgive..."

This is the UNSC High Commander, Admiral Terrence Hood, a veteran of the entire war.

He knew how this war ended, and the Ministry of Consolidation helped humans a lot during this process, keeping the war at a stalemate, but the one who defeated the Star Alliance in the true sense was actually the Saint He in front of him. The army of the benefactors.He was demoted because of the failure of Reach, but then discovered the deception of the prophet and the lie of the pilgrimage, and this caused a large number of Sangheili tribes to defect-this force completely shattered the Star Alliance, just know When the news came, everyone from Admiral Hood to even a corporal couldn't help but blurt out the word 'wtf'.

Tier Vadam, the Sangheili committed heinous crimes against mankind, but he destroyed the still dominant Star Alliance, ended the war, and brought the former Star Alliance leader to Earth for trial.This made Admiral Terrence Hood's emotions very complicated... Not only him, but almost everyone didn't know what to think of him.

"I'm not going to make any excuses. When things settle down..."

"Let the war end, and it will be a new beginning. You and I, and others, wish it so." Admiral Hood did not let him continue. "I hope you can come to the memorial service. .”

Till Vadam felt a little nervous, and he asked:

"who?"

"War dead."

Suddenly, this made his heart twitch, and those wailing sounds came out from the depths of his mind again.He almost panicked because of this, but immediately followed the method taught by the fire demon to stabilize his spirit.Till Vadam's mouth moved slightly, made up his mind, and replied:

"I will come."

—————A few days later—————

It is impossible to erect tombstones like in the past, because you can't find such a large land to put so many tombstones and crosses, so on the nameless barren hill, a monument was erected.The guard of honor lined up beside him, armed with rifles, with solemn expressions.

On the podium, UNSC Admiral Terrence Hood stood there. Although he was old, his spine was still straight:

"For us, the storm is gone. The war is over. But please all never forget those who went into the endless darkness and never came back. For the decisions they made required immense courage, sacrifice and determination Faith, they made our survival so precious and they will never be forgotten!"

"salute!"

"Fire the gun!"

Oregana and her entourage stood by, watching the soldiers raise their rifles and fire blank ammunition. The sound of the gunfire echoed in the winter field, and it lasted for a long time.

There was sadness in the air, but also a sense of relief and hope for the future.These soldiers are very young, not even born when the war broke out, they grew up in the flames of war, and they don't even understand what peace is.But from now on, their children can grow up steadily under the sunshine.

It's just... Those who want revenge probably won't have another chance.I have deprived them of the opportunity to avenge those aliens who killed their friends and relatives. Some people must think that this is a way of forgetting the grudges of the dead and deliberately whitewashing the peace. Even a corner of their own hearts will feel this way It will make people feel painful, and of course I have no position to forgive the other party.

But from a long-term perspective, what I did was right.Humans are also good, as are St. Helios and other races of the Star Alliance. They can no longer bear the price of continuing the war.This does not come from my own wishful judgment, but from reality.If the fight continues, St. Helios will be wiped out first, and then human civilization will fall apart; or human civilization will fall apart first, and then St. Helios will split.The results of the analysis of the think tanks on both sides are that although they don't know which one it is, one will definitely happen.

These hatreds may take one or two generations to disappear, but this is better than the flames of war burning throughout the universe.

She clasped her hands together, prayed for the victims in her own way, and at the same time prayed for the cessation of the war—of course, this was a prayer rather than a spell, and it would not have any substantial effect, it was just a hope.

Then, she saw the most eye-catching person in the crowd——

That was Tier Vadam and several of his cronies, including even a strong San'Shim.The eyes of the soldiers were like thorns on them.These aliens walked to the monument and bowed deeply according to human etiquette.There was only silence in the air, their robes rattling in the wind, and people watching them, each with a different expression on their face.

After a long time, the arbiter raised his head, and the wailing in his head stopped at some point. He saw the monument shining in the setting sun.This scene was deeply engraved in his mind, and in the following life, he would never forget this scene.

I will never forget.

PS3: The whole head of the toothache is in a daze, do you have any recommended painkillers (sad)

Chapter 1087 Chapter 120: If someone builds a city for you, don't burn it (Erkang hand)

I'm really sorry, refresh the upper right corner of this chapter after [-] o'clock in the morning qwq

--------------

The huge accelerated orbit more than thirty kilometers long was slowly combined in the universe, and the jet flames of the additional propellers illuminated the golden shield next to it.

It is not easy to combine equipment of this scale like building blocks. Its huge mass brings huge inertia, and the unassembled components naturally do not have the support of a powerful power furnace to run the inertial stabilization system at full power. Let their structural strength appear extremely fragile.It is very convenient to pack and compress the equipment to form an anchored one-time molding system, but due to the extremely high complexity of the manufacturing process, this will greatly increase the manufacturing cycle and material consumption (because the packaging equipment itself is also a complex thing that requires a large amount of raw materials )—especially when the space building itself is particularly large, this situation is even more serious.

Xianyu Zhai once calculated that if the current New Eden Star City does not use packaging technology at the beginning, but relies on making components to assemble, at least [-]% of the mine can be saved.But this is just talking, because there were no engineers who were skilled enough to fight for Star City, and the construction period for a thing that is hundreds of kilometers long would be terrifyingly long.

Therefore, except for the first-generation stargates in New Eden and those deployed urgently on the battlefield in a hurry, most civilian stargate and starbridge systems are combined.The manufactured components are transported to the construction site by the industrial ship, and then slowly assembled and built.Although this increases the work difficulty of construction personnel, it can save costs to the greatest extent, and the relatively simple structure of this medium-sized facility can also be easily assembled on site.

Bernard Lydgate of the Third Engineering Corps of the Dark Angels sat in the control room of the engineering ship with a thick cigar in his mouth. He used all his thoughts to control the thrusters next to the building components, the force and The timing is just right, and his assistants are on the sidelines to assist him in his work.The only sound in the control room was the hum of the instruments and the ventilation fans.

Lieutenant Colonel Benny Crooks of the UNSC didn't even dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the work of these alien friends.After so many years of fighting in the universe, he has watched the spaceship berth countless times. He is very aware of the risks in this kind of action-if a two-kilometer-long warship makes a slight mistake when it is parked, the result will definitely be no less than A landslide, generally small-scale landslides are not of this scale.

What is moving in front of us are four metal mountains the size of Mount Everest, which are also the key to a peaceful future for mankind.

He watched these devices slow down, approach, and slow down again. It is no longer visible to the naked eye that they are still moving, and the distance between them may still be tens of meters—the gap that the largest battleships and aircraft carriers during World War II can easily pass through. It's as thin as a single pixel, and it seems that they will collide in the next moment.

Then his eyes caught a series of flashes—a mass of arcs and sparks erupted from which gaps, startling Lieutenant Colonel Benny Crooks.But in the next moment, the indicator lights next to the acceleration track lit up one after another, the beacons were deployed on both sides, and a large number of propellers used to assist the movement of the components fell off from the surroundings of the equipment one by one in tiny sparks.

The tension lingering in the control room dissipated in that moment.The dark angels stood up and gave each other a high-five to congratulate. One of them took out a glass from the box next to it and handed it to everyone present, and the other opened the champagne neatly:

"The equipment was successfully lit! Everyone has worked hard!"

"It went well today!"

"Good job!"

This made Lieutenant Colonel Benny Crooks let out a big breath. Looking at the young engineers in front of him, he couldn't help smiling.

It can be regarded as completed... But when you think about it carefully, it is surprising that such a large-scale building can be completed in less than three days.

Bernard removed the nerve cable at the back of his neck, walked to Lieutenant Colonel Crooks, and handed him a glass of champagne:

"In this way, there will be no problem with the equipment." The young man with a childish face said with a smile, still holding the cigar in his mouth-to be honest, the cigar smoke and his baby face have nothing to do with it. Matching, this kind of hobby is more suitable for mature men with a weathered face and a big beard. "From now on, the star bridge connecting Tianyuan [-] and the solar system will be delivered to you."

"Thank you very much for your assistance!"

Starbridge, this is one of the agreements reached between the Consolidation Department and the UNSC.The Ministry of Consolidation will help UEG establish a transportation network centered on the earth, connecting near-earth, in-situ colonies and various military strongholds, so that warships and civilian ships can quickly move within the control range.The first step is completed here. A star bridge is in the solar system, and a star bridge is in Tianyuan [-]. The fleet travels between the earth and the star through these devices, so that the voyage time will be shortened to one-fifth of the original.

The original plan was to shoot the stargate directly between these two galaxies, but because the subspace environment here is very strange, there is a certain risk in rushing to create a permanent wormhole.Even if the risk is not great, any risk is unacceptable next to other people's home planet, so before fully understanding it, use Starbridge to make do with it. UEG understands this and believes that this is already a leap forward.

Colonel Crooks knew what that meant.If such a transportation network is established, then the UNSC is fully capable of launching a great expedition, reuniting the fragmented colonies, and completely dispelling the cloud of rebellion that destroyed human civilization one after another... Perhaps it is not as simple as thought, The twists and turns in it are entangled. As an engineer engaged in infrastructure construction, I must not understand it, but one thing is certain.

That's what this portends for a better tomorrow.

I was born in a colony, went to a military academy, and then served in the army. I have never been to the earth when I grow up!But even so, I still regard the earth as my true hometown.Lieutenant Colonel Crooks had already thought about it before, if he was still alive after the war, he must go to Earth and see this warm cradle that raised human beings with his own eyes.

He has never talked about this life plan with anyone, because there is a rule on the battlefield, that is, as long as he enters the battlefield and tells others [what to do after the war is over], most of the people will not be able to live until the end of the war... Judging from the fact that I am still alive, I still have to believe in such non-scientific things occasionally.

"To celebrate the completion of Starbridge, let's go have a drink." He raised his glass with a smile, and said loudly to everyone, "There is a great shop on Reach, I treat you! Everyone go!"

"Is it within the scope of permission? The treaty stipulates that there are many places on Reach that we cannot go to."

"Of course! I promise."

"How generous!" Bernard raised the corners of his mouth in the cheers of his companions—everyone in the engineering department enjoyed the atmosphere of 'where to go' after completing a complicated job. "Good job Get ready to bleed your wallet."

"do you know?"

"Ok?"

"After fighting for so many years, I have never had a chance to spend the saved wages. I have money now! Haha!" He laughed and put down his glass. "We can rest for a while, because the next The intended target there is not very stable."

"Pirates? Rebels?"
