1024. The second artifact
Zerakas bowed modestly to Darth-Malthael, and then made a gesture of invitation to the cabin. His elegant voice appeared directly in Darth-Malthael's mind, "Powerful and dark lord, after a long period of inspection and comparison, we have roughly confirmed the scope of this artifact."
Das-Malthael nodded and followed Zerakas to the cabin of Protoss transport ship and sat down.
This Protoss transport ship is autonomously driven by artificial intelligence. Because the Protoss is extremely rare, they made extensive use of artificial intelligence and automation technology.
But unlike the "Star Wars" universe, Protoss is very cautious about artificial intelligence. Although they will give these artificial intelligences extremely high computing power and the ability to deal with temporary changes in various situations, they will never allow artificial intelligence to have its own consciousness.
And because Protoss does not need to speak the language of sound, the robots they create basically have no language ability, or strictly speaking, they do not have the language ability to communicate with other ordinary creatures.
The robots of Protoss basically use a machine language, which can contain a large amount of information in just a few syllables. Interestingly, this is somewhat similar to the robot of "Star Wars".
Only when Protosss are pushed into a hurry, will they truly apply their infinite wisdom to artificial intelligence. This is Purifier Program, a technology that combines Protoss Templar's consciousness with artificial intelligence.
This technology is also available in motherships, but it is regarded by Tang Xiao as one of the most dangerous technologies. Under normal circumstances, it is reluctant to consider activating it. Of course, even if this technology is activated, the cost is astronomical, and most importantly, it requires the cooperation of Protoss scientists, but these are not things that need to be considered now.
Das-Malthael found a seat and sat down. This transport aircraft had obviously been modified. The interior space and decoration were much more comfortable and very spacious.
"I hope you don't mind, powerful and dark lord." Zerakas said, "Although you opened Protoss's think tank for us, currently with our equipment, we can only manufacture this relatively simple automatic aircraft. This was originally designed for our brave frontline warriors to quickly enter the battlefield, so there is not much consideration for comfort."
Tang Xiao didn't want to rush into the topic. Anyway, there was still time, so he started chatting about home affairs, "The cooperation between you and Geth seems to be quite good. You are able to build such a 60-meter spacecraft so quickly."
"I have to remind you again that Geth is a very dangerous existence. They will not obey anyone's control, so you cannot really control them." Zerakas said, "However, Geth is indeed very good. With their cooperation, we have established an automated factory on the other side of Drai II."
"What can you produce now?" Das-Malthael asked.
Zerakas said, "Mainly mechanical Sentinel and mechanical interceptor, we only built one transport aircraft. For the desolate Dray II planet, mechanical Sentinel can already provide us with good support, because we ourselves are the best warriors."
"Mechanical interceptor? The kind you use on your aircraft carrier?" Das-Malthael shook Protoss's combat unit in his mind, and then figured out which one it was. Isn't it the small plane on the aircraft carrier.
"Yes, this is a very efficient small combat machine. But to exert its maximum combat effectiveness, it requires a flight control computing center. Currently, they cannot exert their maximum power and can only provide us with basic defense methods." Zerakas said.
"Interesting, send me a few later, and I will compare the advantages and disadvantages between your interceptors and the Vulture droid fighter we are currently using widely." Das-Malthael said.
"As you wish." Zerakas said.
While they were chatting, the transport plane had already entered the hyperspace channel on autopilot, and entering hyperspace was very... Das-Malthael had to use the adjective "silky".
Protoss's technology has obviously a deeper grasp of hyperspace than the current galaxy. The specific manifestation is in these details. The transport plane barely felt any vibration when entering and exiting hyperspace jumps.
Das-Malthael looked outside the porthole. A green and white planet appeared here. His eyes narrowed, "Taris..."
"Yes, Taris (Taris) planet." Zerakas said, "This planet is the fifth in this star system. It is far away from the star, so the climate is relatively cold. But it is rich in natural resources, and there are many traces of intelligent biological activities. Obviously, the level of development of this planet in the past is far from what it is now."
Das-Malthael clicked on Omni-tool on his wrist and called up the information about the planet, "Taris, thousands of years ago, this planet was Outer Rim of the galaxy's trade center and transportation hub. It is the most important part of Hedia hyperspace lane. Its population was once close to 100 billion. At that time, it was even called 'Outer Rim's Coruscant'."
He continued, "It's just that as Corellian Trade Route was gradually discovered, Taris's position was gradually replaced, and many people left. In addition, Mandalorian Wars, Sith Wars Among, repeated battles broke out on Taris, which was once occupied by the Sith Empire, so the planet is no longer as prosperous as before. The population here is now less than 1 billion."
"Very interesting history." Zerakas said very plainly. For Protoss, which has a life span of thousands of years, such rise and fall has long been commonplace.
"But I remember I told you, Muur Talisman is not here." Das-Malthael said.
Zerakas did not answer his question, but continued, "Muur Talisman has a history of more than 7,000 years. We have carefully studied the documents left by Jedi Covenant. They once pursued this amulet and did a lot for it. Work. This amulet was made by the first generation Sith Lord Solzus-Shien, but the record is vague about the function of the amulet. It only says that it can create an invincible army and is called the Summoner of the Death Army."
"So are there any clues?" Das-Malthael asked.
"The amulet has always been in a store called Karness-Muur (Karness Muur)'s Sith Lord, he is also the first generation Sith Lord. I am also very interested in the history of Sith, but there are also very few records in this regard, so the first generation Sith Lord I don't know what E means, but according to Jedi Covenant's literature, Kanis-Muur is a dangerous person," Zerakas said.
"Alas..." An old sigh came from behind Darth Malthael, and then the shadow of Lucien Del Rey slowly appeared, "Muur Talisman, what did this powerful telepathic race say to you?"
"Necessary information." Das-Malthael said lightly.
"Muur Talisman is an evil and powerful Sith artifact. It should be the public enemy of all intelligent creatures and should be completely destroyed!" Lucian Dre said, "I remind you again that this taboo object should be destroyed."
The corners of Darth-Malthael's mouth turned up slightly, "Then, I will be happy to use this artifact to deal with Galactic Republic and Darth-Sidious."
"This artifact is very important because it will allow us to conduct research on the 'channel'. Maybe it will reveal something deeper about the Force... and the connection between the Force and Psionics may also be revealed." Zerakas said.
