<<Intercepted GDI Transmission>>

...Nod forces are deploying a new generation of their iconic Obelisk of Light along front-line positions. It appears that the Obelisk's functionality has been improved with additional serial-channel capacitors. Although the basic architecture of the design does not deviate greatly from earlier generations, the core of the laser weapon has been enhanced for increased firing duration when the power output is reduced. Evidently the tower can now be set to sustained-fire mode when used against unarmored targets such as infantry and civilian vehicles. This allows the laser to fire at limited power in an arc, resulting in a cutting motion that can strike several infantry per emission.

?The advanced capacitor also allows over-charging of the tower by Nod's long-range artillery platform, the Beam Cannon. When one or more Beam Cannons focus their laser weapons at a receptor on the base of the tower it can fire over increased range by directly feeding the added energy into its mirror array. The limited targeting ability of the mirror array still suggests aircraft as the optimal answer for any Obelisks encountered on the field...

…Nod部隊正在沿著前線陣地部署他們標(biāo)志性的新一代光明石碑（Obelisk of Light）。似乎方尖碑的功能得到改進(jìn)，附加了額外的串行通道電容器。盡管基本建筑設(shè)計和早期版本相差不大，激光武器的核心得到了增強，這使得輸出功率減少時發(fā)射時間能被延長。顯然，現(xiàn)在光明石碑可以設(shè)置為持續(xù)射擊模式用于對付非裝甲目標(biāo)，例如步兵和民用載具。這讓激光可以在有限功率下發(fā)射呈現(xiàn)弧形，做出可以一次攻擊數(shù)個步兵的切割動作。

?先進(jìn)的電容器也令Nod的長程火炮平臺——光束炮得以為光明石碑進(jìn)行過載充能。當(dāng)一輛或多輛光束炮將激光武器聚焦于方尖碑底座的接收器時，光明石碑就能直接將投入的能量匯總到它的鏡像陣列中，增加其射程。鏡像陣列有限的瞄準(zhǔn)能力仍然表明飛行器是在戰(zhàn)場上遇見任何光明石碑的最佳選擇…
