576. Dangerous cooperation
As part of the agreement, Tang Xiao awakened the hibernating members of the Shelak Tribe, a total of 20 people, all of whom were Master Class. The awakening conditions for these Shelak Tribe and Protoss are very simple - they will wake up unless called by their leader, otherwise they will not listen to anyone else.
Afterwards, another Legendary Class Protoss was awakened - Shelak Tribe's temple guardian, Taarim (Taarim). This is an old Protoss who used to protect Xel'Naga Temple on Shakuras Planet and also guarded the secret of the Shelak Tribe.
Now, everything about them has disappeared, and all they have is themselves. Everything needs to be re-created, and the guardian of Xel'Naga Temple will now become the guardian of Zekrath.
In fact, when Tang Xiao saw this elderly Protoss with gray skin and many purple spots on his skin for the first time, he immediately understood that this guardian was at least a Legendary Class in his heyday. Even I had to go through a lot of trouble to defeat him.
Tang Xiao gave them the manufacturing method of Lightsaber and some Kyber Crystal so that they could make a batch of their own weapons, and then took them to Drai II.
In just a few days, the framework of a large space station has been built around Drai II, and some cabins have been completed, including the energy supply system, and the space station has begun operation.
Dozens of small engineering spacecraft that look like insects are working tirelessly on the construction, and some spacecraft can be seen around the gas giant planet that are already mining the resources.
After boarding the space station, Zekrath looked at the flashlight-headed robots walking around with some interest. "Smart machines are very interesting. These robots should have autonomous consciousness. No, it should be said that these robots have souls."
While he was conveying telepathy to Tang Xiao, he was also talking to other companions through telepathy, and he was obviously paying close attention to them.
"They are Geth." Tang Xiao said, "They are my allies."
"Becoming an ally with robots will make you gradually move away from the order of life. Because they kill people just like you smash a stone without any hesitation." Zekrath said.
"I said, I will do anything to survive." Tang Xiao replied calmly.
"You have been emphasizing the pressure of survival, but where is the pressure?" Zekrath asked.
"Dark Overlord, who is about to dominate the entire galaxy, is my eternal enemy. Therefore, what I want to fight is the entire galaxy." Tang Xiao said, his eyes flashing with fanaticism, "Under such a comparison of strength, I will do anything to survive."
Zekrath didn't speak. He just lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said again, "Is fighting against it a necessary path?"
"Of course it's not necessary." Tang Xiao smiled, "If you kneel down and be his dog, you might actually be able to live a good life."
"Protoss will not surrender to anyone." Zekrath replied immediately.
"So, we finally found the first common ground." Tang Xiao said as he led the group of Protoss to the command center of the space station.
In the central holographic projection, the hologram of Drai II is transmitted, and the location of Lucien Del Rey's mausoleum is marked on it, as well as a blurry area.
"Is this the location of the temple?" Tang Xiao asked casually to Geth who was carrying things aside.
This Geth turned back, put down the goods in his hands, came to the holographic screen, and said, "We scanned the entire planet, but the planet was shrouded by unknown forces and the sensors could not penetrate. According to your instructions, we did not enter the inside of the mausoleum and could only determine the approximate location through simple excavation on the periphery."
As it said, it raised its hand and marked more than ten points on the hologram, and then said, "Currently we have 13 excavation teams doing conservative excavation. In order not to destroy anything, the progress is not fast. Therefore, our main work is the construction of the base. Are there any questions?"
Tang Xiao pointed at Zekrath and others and said, "Give them authorization to meet all their research needs and provide them with protection."
This Geth fired a ray from its flashlight-like head, swept over Zekrath and others, and then said, "The scan is completed, they have been logged into our database. We will meet their needs. If there are no other problems, we will continue to work."
"Okay, no more." Tang Xiao nodded.
This Geth walked over and picked up the things just carried and continued walking forward.
"Gestalt thinking?" Zekrath discovered this keenly.
"More thoroughly, it is the distributed network Gestalt. In other words, each of their individuals can represent all of them." Tang Xiao answered.
"Their birth will be a disaster for the entire universe."
"I told you, I don't care." Tang Xiao knocked on the table expressionlessly, "Okay, the Geth here will meet all your needs, and I will also give you a new one called Thonner A colony of Protoss was established on the planet, and 500 Protoss were initially cultivated. However, even with the unknown cloning technology of the mothership, it will take at least 20 years for the embryos of Protoss to grow."
"I can wait longer. 20 years is not a long time for us. I hope we can have a happy cooperation." Zekrath nodded slightly to Tang Xiao and said.
Tang Xiao didn't bother to be polite to them, turned around and left the space station.
Protoss has a lifespan of a thousand years. Of course they can wait, but there is nothing he can do. The more powerful a life is, the more difficult it is to grow and reproduce. This is an eternal law in the entire universe.
He chose to place Protoss on Sonell Planet, a prison planet taken over from Ayrou after the previous war between Fourth Civilization and Ayrou. The natural environment of this planet is not bad, but it has almost no valuable mineral resources, so it has never given birth to a higher civilization. Therefore, after Ayrou occupied this place, it used it as a prison.
Now, this planet belongs to Fourth Civilization.
Placing Protoss here, on the one hand, the environment here is more suitable for the growth of life, on the other hand, the poor resources also limit the development of civilization. Because Tang Xiao is even more defensive about Protoss than Geth.
However, correspondingly, there is also a very rare humanoid race on Sonell Planet - Kian'thar (Kian'thar). This is a race with rudimentary telepathy ability, but its intelligence is not high. Tang Xiao is very curious whether there will be any sparks between these Kian'thar and Protoss.
He took his own spaceship to Drai II and entered the tomb of Lucien Del Rey.
The old man's shadow floated out of his coffin again, looked at Tang Xiao, and asked, "Are those robots sent by you? How dare you excavate my temple without my permission!!"
"Have you seen the current situation of the Milky Way?" Tang Xiao pouted at a holographic TV on the side.
Lucian Dray was silent.
