2601, Protoss
A Neimoidian Scyk-class shuttle flew to Drai II.
I only saw that the area around this originally desolate satellite was already extremely prosperous. Thousands of Geth engineering ships are shuttled around the periphery of the planet, and two pyramid-shaped super space stations with a side length of more than 50,000 meters are taking shape.
Countless space stations, Space Shipyard, are being built day and night, and one battleship, cruiser, and aircraft carrier one after another is being completed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Drai II is surrounded by a prosperous scene.
The Neimoidia-class shuttle passed by a huge Space Shipyard, which was more than a thousand meters long. The huge Drone Carrier was completing its final outfitting.
The shape of this Drone Carrier reveals an elegant beauty. The battleship is not a completely sealed structure. On the contrary, it has hollows in many places. It seems that the actual volume is not large. It is more of a work of art than a battleship.
The appearance of Drai II has undergone earth-shaking changes. This small satellite has now changed from the lifeless iron gray to the mottled green now. Under the influence of the climate modification device, the planet also has an atmosphere. The water transported from other planets has also given Drai II lakes and rivers.
Protoss is using their own advanced technology to build their own Homeworld.
Not only Protoss, but also an extremely huge Geth city has been completed on another deserted planet in Draay System. The Geth who live with Protoss are also working tirelessly to expand their own production. Now, they have become the most important partners of Protoss, providing a huge amount of labor for the construction of Protoss.
There is no doubt that Protoss has begun to form its own unique cultural circle in this place.
Neimoidian Scyk-class shuttle has now entered the atmosphere of Drai II, and Tang Xiao is watching the planet scenery gradually coming into view through the porthole of the shuttle. Although it still looks a bit barren, grasslands and forests have begun to take shape.
As the shuttle continued to descend, a magnificent city appeared in his sight.
This is a city made of metal buildings. The towering buildings are spectacular and beautiful. According to Protoss's unique aesthetic, these buildings are all golden and have many hollow structures.
A faint light curtain enveloped the city, blocking out all wind, sand and bad weather, making the city dry and warm.
The shuttle flew directly towards the center of the city, where there was a huge pyramid-shaped building. This building was not the tallest in the city, but it was the largest, with a side length of more than 20,000 meters. In fact, the building itself is a small city.
Although they are both pyramid structures, the structures and functions of this building and the two super space stations in outer space are different. The pyramid-shaped super space station is a super-armed space station built by Protoss. It was imitated by them after observing the actual combat effects of Kingdom of Dawn Agonev-class star base. It is the core of the entire planetary defense system.
This pyramid in the city is the administrative center of Protoss.
With the continuous awakening and birth of Protoss, they have rebuilt Twilight Council and built their own administrative system based on several major clans.
The shuttle landed on the apron next to the pyramid. The current archbishop Zerakas of Protoss was already waiting here with several members of Twilight Council. Next to them stood a guard of Geth.
Although it is said to be Geth, in fact they have undergone earth-shaking changes from the traditional Geth flashlight head shape. The current Geth's body shape is closer to the aesthetics of Protoss, and it looks like a mechanical version of Zealot warrior.
Of course, for Geth, it doesn't matter what it looks like, as long as it's practical.
Tang Xiao stepped off the shuttle, Zekrath saluted with the etiquette of Protoss, and his voice began to echo in Tang Xiao's mind, "Respected Dear King of Dawn, I am very happy to see that you have integrated with the strength of our compatriots, and I am very grateful for your contribution to the reconstruction of Protoss civilization. I don't know why you came here this time."
Since Tang Xiao and Dark Archon merged into one, Protoss's attitude towards him has also changed dramatically. Although I am still disgusted with his Dark Side Force, I am now able to accept his existence.
Tang Xiao did not answer directly, but his eyes were on the Geth behind him.
This Geth together with Protoss is actually completely different from the original Geth. Their way of thinking and behavior have also undergone tremendous changes. Moreover, there is another most important factor——
"The Purifiers technological data you applied for was used on these Geth?" Tang Xiao asked in return.
"Yes. Geth is different from other intelligent machines, so we also try to treat them as intelligent life forms." Zerakas said while making a gesture of invitation, leading Tang Xiao walked inside, "Geth can think and judge independently, and have their own behavioral logic and culture. Our introduction of Purifiers's technological data will also help them further evolve."
Zerakas explained to Tang Xiao as he walked, "Geth will upload its own data to a huge core host. In that host, they can build their own virtual Homeworld as they wish. So in fact, for Geth In other words, their real Homeworld is virtual, and the planet they occupy and the factories they build are just necessary means to maintain this Homeworld. This actually has a lot in common with our Protoss's Purifier Program."
"Will you now also upload the consciousness of the fallen soldiers to Purifiers?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Yes. In fact, these soldiers are Zealot warrior who died in the previous battle. Their souls returned, re-entered new bodies, and continued to fight for the survival of our civilization." Zerakas replied.
Tang Xiao nodded. Protoss's method is similar to his Essence Transfer, but only a race like Protoss, who is born with a powerful Psionics, can use it so easily. If you want the fragile human soul to achieve such an effect, you must spend more money. Moreover, in Protoss's culture, death is not the end, so they do not reject this method.
On the contrary, for human civilization, this technology similar to the resurrection of the dead is not accepted by everyone, which is why Kingdom of Dawn and Rebirth Plan are still only a secret project known to only a few people.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "So, Nerazim, Sola-A and Oola-Khan, have their souls returned as well?"
These two respectable Protoss Dark Templar, in the previous battle with Grysk Black Star, in order to save Tang Xiao who fell into madness, they resolutely merged to become Dark Archon, and gave all their power to him, and finally perished.
But Zerakas shook his head and said, "No. Combining to become Dark Archon is an action that burns the soul. All Protoss sacrificed in this way, their souls cannot return to Khala. The two warriors Sola-A and Oola-Khan, their souls are with you now."
With that said, he saluted Tang Xiao again, expressing his respect for the two sacrificed Protoss warrior.
"So, what are your plans now?" Tang Xiao asked.
The race Protoss has always been a very detached existence among Fourth Civilization. They actually do not identify themselves as a member of Fourth Civilization. They only regard Fourth Civilization as their close ally. In this regard, they are even more independent than Vasari.
In fact, what's further behind this is not how advanced their technology is or how powerful their strength is. In fact, the essence is still due to racial superiority.
Because even Vasari, although they once dominated the entire galaxy and established a river system-level super the Empire, they are essentially not much different from other races. In other words, if you let a Vasari warrior fight with a human warrior, the outcome is not easy to judge.
But Protoss is different. They are born with the extremely powerful Psionics. Telepathy is their daily communication method. Their physical fitness is several times that of ordinary humans, and they also have a life span of a thousand years. Such differences make it impossible for them to accept that they belong to another race. It is even difficult for them to accept being on an equal footing with Human race. In the original plot, if they had not experienced the crisis of being exterminated by the ZERG and Amon, they would not have put aside their dignity to live with humans as equals.
For this reason, Tang Xiao was wary of them after releasing Protoss, and did not give them what they asked for like other races. And he was always ready to completely destroy Protoss if they disobeyed them.
But Protoss has always done nothing bad except staying relatively independent and keeping a distance from Tang Xiao personally because of Dark Side Force.
Although they did not directly participate in the war, they were willing to hand over the weapons they developed and built to Kingdom of Dawn, such as their advanced stealth shuttles, transport planes, and Swarm Drones.
Not only that, Protoss will also send its own soldiers to participate in some local combat operations. At the same time, Protoss is more concerned about Twilight Covenant, whose headquarters is also located on Drai II.
They also sent High Templar as a teacher to carefully teach Twilight Covenant's children with Force talent, even treating them as their own.
For example, Xiao Yan was taught by Dark Templar. Although she is still a little immature, she has made great progress in using Void Energy. She killed Eighth Brother in an instant, using Shadow Strike, which Dark Templar is best at.
Therefore, Tang Xiao is still very satisfied with the performance of Protoss. That's why he was willing to hand over Purifiers's technology to Protoss.
After combining Purifiers and Geth, the development of Protoss has also been greatly accelerated. Now around Drai II, the number of Geth has reached 200 million, and the population of Protoss has reached about 500,000. More baby Protoss are also gestating and growing.
Zerakas stopped and said very solemnly, "We are also constantly exploring outwards to expand our influence. We have also witnessed the extremely miserable conditions of many border planets under the rule of the Galactic Empire. Now, our Protoss social structure has stabilized, and we will not sit idly by when evil entities like Dath-Sidious and Galactic Empire bring disaster to the galaxy."
"So, you have decided to officially join the war?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Yes. Twilight Council has made a decision. We will send troops to join the war. At the same time, Geth Purifiers will also become an important force for us." Zerakas said.
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Then, after you are ready, send a representative to enter High Command."
"This will be completed in the near future." Zerakas replied.
"In addition, I have a strong and determined warrior here. He has fought his whole life for the survival of his race." Tang Xiao briefly mentioned General Grievous's deeds. "His body has been destroyed, but his soul is still under my protection."
Hearing the legendary life of General Grievous, Zerakas was also in awe. For such a fighting hero, Protoss would always give the highest respect, and he also understood Tang Xiao meant, nodded and said, "Please give us the soul of this warrior... We will specially build the most advanced and powerful Purifiers body for him. As he wishes, he will continue to fight forever."
Tang Xiao nodded.
Several Phase Engineer and Purifiers engineers from Protoss came over. They entered the shuttle, carefully carried out Bacta tank containing the remains of General Grievous, and sent it to Soul Nexus from Purifiers.
The soul of General Grievous will temporarily enter Soul Nexus, where it will receive training at the soul level from Purifiers. Then, when the new body is built, it will enter the body and complete rebirth.
After arranging things for General Grievous, Zerakas took Tang Xiao to the space port and said to him, "We decided to first send a fighter force to participate in the battle. After that, 10 aircraft carriers will be able to enter the battle."
"Fighter unit?" Tang Xiao asked.
"That's right. Phoenix fighter." Zerakas nodded.
At this time, in the sky, more than a dozen elegant fighter jets flew past at low altitude. These fighter jets were so quiet that the sound of their engines could not even be heard. They began to maneuver and roll in the air, making all kinds of incredible movements, showing very terrifying flexibility and maneuverability.
Then, a target tank came over, and several Phoenix fighters quickly swooped down, firing unique anti-gravity beams, and actually lifted the tank directly into the air!
Then, more than a dozen Phoenix fighter opened fire, and countless plasma beams instantly tore the tank into pieces!!
