579, Kyber Crystal
Tang Xiao saw a team of fully armed Gnoll in front of him, escorting a large machine past. These Gnoll are all wearing combat armor specially designed for their size, and the weapon they are holding is the M-90 Thor automatic sniper rifle that has just been developed.
Gnoll has a very developed visual nerve, which makes them very suitable as scouts, snipers and pilots. The troops of Guardian, a scientific research facility, are all equipped with sniper rifles.
Currently, with the increase in population, Selurite has also established an elite special forces force of about 1,000 people, while Gnoll has been organized by Selurite to form a force of 100,000 people to always meet possible war missions.
And because Selurite has extremely fast metabolism and reaction speed, they are very suitable for scientific research and espionage work. Therefore, among the Intelligence Department gates of Fourth Civilization and Research Department, the number of Selurite is constantly increasing.
It can be said that the cooperation between the two parties is deepening day by day.
Several Selurites in white clothes came forward. The leader was Professor Modin. Before Tang Xiao could speak, he said first, "The two things you sent recently are of great research value. I have established a scientific research team, but we need more resources and manpower to carry out research."
"I don't need you to conduct research on the Force-driven robot for the time being. I've found some people who are more sensitive to the Force to do it. And this Extractor is a very important research project. The message you sent me before said that this technology may allow us to make a breakthrough in the technology of Particle Beam Lance?"
"Arroyo-Barlow already has a Particle Beam Lance project team in hand but it cannot meet the demand in terms of energy focusing. Extractor's technology is very critical and Kyber Crystal seems to be a very suitable material." Professor Modin said.
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "However, Kyber Crystal is very rare and is unlikely to be used in large-scale manufacturing of battleships."
"It depends on the results of the research. We will find ways to reduce the dosage of Kyber Crystal, but the research still needs Kyber Crystal, which is very critical." Professor Modin said.
"Kyber Crystal..." Tang Xiao frowned in thought.
Selurite obviously couldn't stand such silence, and Professor Modin began to chatter about his current research topic again. As a biologist, he has now begun to turn his research direction to the Force. He wants to explore the nature of the mysterious power of the Force.
Because the world of "Mass Effect" also has supernatural powers, he was not too surprised by the existence of the Force, but attributed it to a unique cosmic energy.
However, Tang Xiao understands that Selurite, who has a more systematic and materialistic way of thinking, is not very good at supernatural powers such as the Force and supernatural powers. On the contrary, Protoss and Asari, who have more idealistic thinking patterns, can often go deeper into their research on the Force and supernatural powers.
But he did not dampen Professor Modin's enthusiasm, and was already seriously considering where to get enough Kyber Crystal.
He interrupted the gushing Professor Modin and said, "Under such circumstances, if we want to get enough Kyber Crystal, I think we have only one way to go."
"Go on."
"War and plunder." Tang Xiao said.
"In view of the fact that we are already at war with Galactic Republic, I will assure you that this offensive you launched will be worth the money." Professor Modin is not a holy mother. His logic is very straightforward. Since the fight with Galactic Republic has already begun, there is no need to hesitate to obtain the experimental materials he wants through war and plunder.
Tang Xiao nodded, "Then I will arrange this matter."
"If possible, Selurite will also participate in this war. Let's start with this offensive. This is the conclusion reached by our parliament. In addition, Professor Arroyo's research has produced results. You can go and watch this new warship." Professor Modin said.
"I'll go to the encrypted communication room first." Tang Xiao said as he walked towards the interior of the experimental base.
Arriving at the dedicated communication room with a hyperspace communication amplifier and signal encryption device, Tang Xiao connected to a secret communication.
A person who looks like a spider appears in the projection, and it is Hatchian, General Trench.
Tang Xiao noticed that there was an extra medal on the chest of his general uniform. This is Nebula Medal, Confederacy of Independent Systems one of the highest Honor of the military. It seems to be awarded in recognition of his previous outstanding performance in Battle of Geonosis.
"Excuse me, what are your orders... Lord Governor, tut tut tut tut..." General Trench asked, twirling his limbs at the corner of his mouth.
"If I remember correctly, according to the original plan, you were supposed to attack Christophsis (Christophsis) at the beginning of the war, right? Does Confederacy of Independent Systems's highest military command have any further instructions now?" Tang Xiao asked.
"The attack, Christophsis, plan has been postponed, tsk tsk tsk tsk... because my fleet, in Geonosis, suffered heavy losses and needs more time to replenish it." General Trench answered.
"I want this planet." Tang Xiao said straightforwardly.
"Although, I am willing to comply with your plan, tsk tsk tsk tsk, but even if we capture this planet, there will be variables because it is too far away from Dawn Star Planet, tsk tsk tsk tsk..." General Trench shook his head.
"Christophsis is not far from Tatooine, so I naturally have the ability to take this planet into my possession." Tang Xiao said.
"This requires the cooperation of Parcel Argent... tsk tsk tsk tsk. This star area is the area of the Corporate Alliance." General Trench stroked his limbs, "If you don't want to make it public... tsk tsk tsk tsk, I do have a... plan."
After the discussion was finalized, Tang Xiao connected to the communication of Lin Nanyi, who is currently the interim commander Fleet B, and gave him an explanation before walking out of the encrypted communication room.
Christophsis, is his answer.
This is a planet made almost entirely of crystals. There are countless crystal mines on the planet, and there are all kinds of crystals, almost all-encompassing. Naturally, it also includes the most mysterious and rarest one in the galaxy, Kyber Crystal.
As one of the main production areas of Kyber Crystal in the Milky Way, Christophsis is located in a remote location and close to Hutt Space, so it is very difficult to manage and defend. Naturally, it has become the target of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
And Tang Xiao also looked here.
