Yang Yi brought a1 close to the communication channel, so that when Renault recounted the information he had learned, a1 could also learn about it in order to assist the ground troops in their actions.

The beginning of this story is pretty good. Ariel Hansen was born into a family of scholars. His father, Bernard Hansen, is a doctor of terraforming, and his mother, Talis Korgan, is a Exobiologist. The two met and fell in love at Tarsonis University, and had Ariel Hansen.

However, Bernard and Talis had a dispute at this time, which eventually led to their divorce. Bernard and Ariel left Tarsonis and went to Agria to establish a new colony.

Ariel has been regarded as a genius her whole life. At the age of 11, she published her first research report on the impact of mutant genes on rare plants in Trabilia. At the age of 16, she was better than His peers graduated from high school two years earlier and received a full scholarship to Tarsonis University.

But her father did not want Ariel to go to Tarsonis for further study. One of the reasons why he created the Agria colony and built it into a colony known for its cutting-edge scientific research and simulated ecological environment was to give his daughter a better life. Due to the circumstances, Ariel hoped that she would give up the scholarship to Tarsonis. However, Ariel finally chose to go to Tarsonis after careful consideration and a fierce argument with her father.

At Tarsonis University, Ariel obtained a PhD in bioengineering in three years, attracting the attention of many corporate headhunters. Although the salary was attractive, Ariel rejected them all. She was tired of it. The intrigues and deceit among colleagues around them, these people are willing to betray each other to achieve success.

Ultimately, what made Ariel leave Tarsonis was her mother, who was working in one of the planet's leading research laboratories. Even though she hadn't seen Ariel for so many years, Talis still put her work before her daughter. Position. For Ariel, if she continues to stay in Tarsonis, her mother's achievements may be her future - although she is extremely smart, she values ​​personal achievements more than anything else. When Ariel decided When returning to Agria, Talis believed that she was just trying to escape from the "real" world, just like her father. These words strengthened Ariel's determination: if Tarsonis was the real world, Then she decided not to have anything to do with this world.

Ariel's father never asked why she came back, and he never blamed her for leaving again. As long as his daughter came back, he was very happy. Bernard is the chairman of this planet, and Ariel speaks for itself. The Earth became his deputy. Subsequently, although the Koprulu sector was filled with chaos, Agria continued to maintain a relatively safe and prosperous environment. After the fall of the Federation, the Tyranid Empire used Agria as its main food reserve base. , and even stationed a permanently stationed defense force on the planet.

But later, a series of bloody events made Ariel begin to question the behavior of the new government. The most recent one occurred in 2503, when a group of heavily armed pirates swept across Agria, attempting to steal the high-tech equipment of the settlement. The Imperial Marines began to resist pirates and protect these valuable properties, but during the firefight, these soldiers killed innocent immigrants indiscriminately. The massacre deeply touched Ariel, and she risked her life to rescue many people in war zones. residents.

The pirates were eventually expelled from the planet, but the cold facts Ariel saw with her own eyes convinced her that the lives of the Agrian settlers were dispensable to the Empire.

"What does this have to do with the secret we want to know?"

"It will matter soon, young man."

When Ariel Hansen was in Agria, her main research project was the swarm virus. However, at this time, she was not just studying the virus that the swarm used to infect humans, but also this virus.

A series of viruses related to the zerg swarm. Since the zerg swarm itself often rages in the sector, many zerg will carry more or less germs or viruses from the local planet.

The basic immunity of each fighting unit of the swarm is very strong. Most local germs are eliminated by the zerg's own immune system without even having a chance to infect the swarm. There are also many germs that have the opportunity to bypass the immune system.

, but these bugs were soon transferred to Leviathan and entered the cosmic environment to be killed by low temperature.

If Ariel's research project is reported to the government, there is a high probability that Ariel's research project will receive financial and even personnel and material support from the official government. However, Ariel's disappointment with the imperial government makes her not interested in government funding. However,

, without funding from the government, the income of the agricultural colony alone cannot support the cost of such a huge project.

She used her father, Bernard Hansen, to find viable secret sponsors in the sector, but the large companies they contacted included Procyon Industries, ATVX, Wolfe Industries, and Lamidis Pharmaceuticals.

The conditions demanded by the group and others are simply unacceptable to her, or the colony.

Just before she was about to exhaust all the liquidity she could use, a special envoy from a company called "Sirius Research Company" came to her in person and said that they could fund the research project Ariel mentioned. The only requirement was

Yes, they need Ariel to take over a research project sponsored by another company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Funding and personnel are both easily negotiable.

"...Wait a minute, 'Sirius Research Company'?!" A1 suddenly interrupted Renault, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"Yes, Miss Captain, is there any problem?" Renault was a little dissatisfied.

"'Sirius Research Company' was forcibly disbanded by the imperial government as early as 2502!" a1 directly dropped a bombshell, "This company is suspected of secretly cooperating with UED, and has repeatedly violated the law during the Brood War.

It secretly provided a series of assistance to the UED expeditionary force, ranging from funds to logistics and even equipment production and ship maintenance. Except for the CEO and some board members, all of the company's leaders were executed by ghost agents for treason.

Got it!"

"ha?!"

Although the conditions offered by Sirius Research Company are very attractive, Ariel still wants to take a look at the research project that is on the verge of bankruptcy. The purpose of this project is to improve the existing induction tower. The military induction tower currently used by the empire

The tower is actually very complete, but it is not only small in range, but also the enemy will easily detect the existence of the induction tower. It is at best used for early warning within a limited range, and it is difficult to play a role in actual external attacks.

After learning about it in detail, Ariel came up with an innovation... an idea that made Yang Yi and others feel a little numb: Since the range of the induction tower itself is limited, it is difficult to take care of the troops who are out fighting, so it is better to use offensive defense.

Transform into a defensive attack. Since sensor towers are generally placed in tightly defended bases, they can improve the sensor tower so that it attracts the enemy, forcing them to attack the sensor tower and actively enter the range of the sensor tower, thereby turning the attack into a defensive attack.

Defense, forcing the enemy to crash into the base's tight defense facilities.

"You should understand now, right?"

"...Well, anyone who can come up with this kind of thinking...well..."
