Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 1005 Antimatter

With Ulrich here, it seems feasible to cross the ark...

The only thing to worry about is whether this guy with a "convict record" will abandon his companions to escape at a critical moment, or simply stab a knife in the back... After all, Ulrich was sent to the military court for this reason of.

"I don't know what those things are, but I can be sure that they are very dangerous." Ulrich nodded repeatedly, "The farther away from them, the better!"

"Since you can sense the danger around you, why didn't you notice it at all when we approached you?" Soap suddenly discovered a "blind spot". If Ulrich's perception ability is so powerful, then the three of them have no It was impossible to complete the "assault" on him... even before seeing Ulrich, the latter had already sensed their existence in advance, so he escaped first.

This point must be clarified now, otherwise, when Ulrich led him directly into the encirclement of the men in black, it would be completely meaningless to question him.

"You are not particularly dangerous to me... Especially in that place, there is that moth, its breath completely conceals you, so I didn't notice it." Ulrich still seems not used to talking , It took a long time just to organize the language, and the order of the spoken words was also upside down, and there were nearly ten grammatical errors in just a few dozen words.

Fortunately, Soap is used to this characteristic of the other party, and the brain can "translate" the other party's words into the correct meaning by itself.

"You mean, in your eyes, the three of us are not a threat? Not even comparable to those mutant creatures?"

"Yes." Ulrich replied.

Soap remembered that Ulrich, a mutated hyena that was dormant in the shadows and wanted to ambush the three of them, could sense it, and that mutated hyena was not that strong, and even the clown didn't make a move. With Noir and the two of them one by one, they solved the hyena.

Perhaps, what Ulrich sensed was the physical strength of the organism?In terms of physical strength alone, Soap and Noir are indeed no match for the mutated hyena with a body length of five or six meters. If they didn't have guns in their hands and met this hyena with bare hands, even if the number of people increased by ten times, it would only be for the hyena. Just a snack...

However, according to this logical analysis, shouldn't Ulrich not be able to sense the clown?

The fighting power of Soap and Noir relies on technology and weapons, while the strength of the clown belongs to himself... It is no exaggeration to say that the clown is stronger than most of the monsters in the underground labyrinth. Such an existence, for For Ulrich, at least it should be classified into the level of "very scary" and "shudder when I think about it"... But in reality, the clown seemed to be invisible, and was directly "ignored" by Ulrich.

"What about the clown? It's the guy who is completely wrapped up and so powerful that he can even provoke those monsters and retreat all by himself. Could it be that you couldn't sense him at that time?" Soap asked.

"Who?" There was a trace of confusion in Ulrich's eyes, "What clown?"

"What clown?" Soap froze for a moment, "Have you forgotten who tied you up with tentacles when we met?"

"I... I don't remember." Ulrich shook his head, "I only remember that you are two people..."

"Two people?!" Soap suddenly felt a chill rising from behind.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that Ulrich's memory has been tampered with?

However, he also participated in the "sabotage operation" that led the monster to the ground. It is impossible for him to forget the... Noir who was the "monster attractor"? !

wait?Is Noir to attract monsters?

Under Ulrich's puzzled eyes, Soap stood there in a daze. He vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it.

Why...why did I run into the underground labyrinth?Oh, by the way, the giraffe was killed by those damn men in black, and I wanted to avenge him, so I planned a plan with Noir to release the monsters in the underground labyrinth.It happened that during this process, I met Ulrich Nowitzki, a "D-level personnel". After negotiating with the other party, the other party decided to provide us with help...

As for why they are here now, it was to complete the original task - to collect the information inside the ark and send it back to Mukahe Fortress... Soap turned to look at the wreckage of the communication equipment, and nodded subconsciously.

In the airspace near the Ark, there must be a large number of drones from Mukahe or other surviving fortresses. As long as one of the drones can receive the signal sent by itself, Mukahe Fortress can know everything: There are no survivors on the ark, and the anti-human organization headed by "Zeus" attempts to sacrifice the entire human civilization, including the Alpha star, to the "great god", and the giant plant that took root in the core area and spread to all parts of the ark Plants are the key to this sacrifice ceremony.

The army of the Mukakh Fortress must destroy this plant, otherwise, everyone will die—no, not just the physical death, even the soul will be absorbed as nourishment, and they will never be freed.

Thinking of this, Soap immediately shuddered. He didn't quite understand what it was like to be eternally inextricable, but deep in his memory, he seemed to have had a similar experience... Although the specific details were so vague that he couldn't even think about it. Wake up, but just trying to touch those memories shrouded in fog will feel a chilling fear.

Human instinct makes Soap unwilling to recall those things... Although there are many doubts in his heart, he still gave up the plan to investigate further, and patted Ulrich on the shoulder: "I got reliable news that there is another team in another team. The survivors are now in the East Eighth District and are moving towards the East Seventh District, we need to cross half of the ark to meet that person."

"Why did you go to that person?" Ulrich asked.

"Huh?" Soap was slightly taken aback, Ulrich was really caught by his question...why?Why would I take a huge risk to find another survivor?

If you want to escape, just take care of yourself... What does it matter to me whether the survivors of the other team live or die?
However, in his subconscious, Soap firmly believes that as long as he finds the survivor, he can find a way to escape from the ark... This kind of thought is like a "ideological stamp", firmly imprinted in his brain .

"I'm not too sure...but that person seems to have found a way to escape from the ark." Soap said vaguely.

……

Twelve kilometers south of Mukahe Fortress, in an unnamed valley.

This is the first time that Ke Lan has seen the "true face" of antimatter with his own eyes - a mass of gray, tumbling mist-like matter suspended at a height of more than half a meter above the ground, surrounded by, is Several layers of space barriers that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

This mass of antimatter is stored in a closed vacuum space. Compared with the Alpha civilization using electromagnetic fields to confine it, the "container" made of space barriers is safer.As long as the space barrier does not disappear, these antimatter will not touch any positive matter, and naturally there will be no "annihilation" phenomenon that releases a huge amount of energy.

Ke Lan and Ze Luo "looted" the ruins of eleven death ray cannons, and found a total of 550 grams of antimatter from the core components of these death ray cannons... This number was told to Ke Lan by Ze Luo—a lot People think that the mass of antimatter should be a negative number, which is actually a wrong understanding.

Antimatter is a substance composed of atoms composed of positrons and antiprotons. This statement sounds a bit convoluted, but in fact, as long as you know that both antimatter and positive matter have mass, the only difference is that the particles that make up these substances have completely opposite electrical properties. .

Positive matter, electrons are negatively charged, and protons in the nucleus are positively charged... In the old era, this was a compulsory content in high school physics courses, but in this era, this part of knowledge is not included in the curriculum of compulsory education, only after further study You will only learn when you study related professional topics.

Compulsory education on the Ark is more "practical". Although there are subjects such as chemistry and physics, they are all elective courses. There are no credits and no special teachers to explain to you. Interested students need to Self-study by reading videos and graphic materials... and Ke Lan is one of the very few students who are interested in this part of knowledge.

However, he is not sure now whether he really took classes in a compulsory education institution, or whether it was a false memory that was implanted later... The only memory that can be sure to be real at present is the part of him after he became a relic hunter .As for the memories before becoming a relic hunter, it is very likely that the undead crew will "fake".

……

"Tsk, is this the 'Annihilation Bomb'?" Layton crossed his arms and walked around the "grey mist", "It's really hard to imagine that the power of this thing after it is released is enough to destroy an entire city. fortress."

"Didn't you witness his power with your own eyes?" Chi Hanfeng asked.

"It's not the same. The mass of antimatter that destroyed that battleship is probably not even one ten-thousandth of that here." Layton shook his head, "This amount is enough for the undead crew to drink a pot for those grandchildren!"

"But the crux of the problem is how to send this annihilation bomb into the interior of the ark, and even into the roots of the giant tree in the core area." Ivan sat on a stone whose top was weathered very flat, The silver-white brand-new prosthetic leg supports the chin, "This thing is powerful, but if it is detonated outside the ark, it will definitely not achieve the effect we expected."

"There is only one chance." Ke Lan stared at the antimatter churning in the vacuum space and said, "This antimatter is almost the entire inventory left over from the Alpha civilization, and perhaps some of it is buried deep in unknown ruins, but time has passed. Allow us to explore the ruins. We must succeed the first time."

"At this time, we should play all the hole cards in one go, and we can no longer hide them." Layton said in a vibrating voice, "Just drive Yaguna Ketor out, with its firepower, it should be able to Rip a gap in ARK performance."

"Yagunaktor's firepower?" The hound raised his eyebrows. "Aren't all the weapons on this thing unusable? Otherwise, we wouldn't have to be passively beaten that day, and we wouldn't have a chance to fight back."

"No, Yagunaktor itself is a powerful weapon." Chi Hanfeng took over the words and said, "Relying on the strength of Yagunaktor's own energy shield, it is enough to break through the shield of the ark. As for the Yagunaktor's hull, all of them are made of Nino alloy, and there is space technology inside for structural strengthening. I even think that it can be inserted directly into the core area of ​​the ark and send annihilation bombs into it. "

"No." Ke Lan thought for a moment and vetoed the proposal, "If Yagunaktor is used as a means of breakthrough, then when the annihilation bomb is detonated, it will definitely affect Yagunaktor. This is the only thing in the future of human civilization. If it is damaged in any way, even if we destroy the giant tree, victory will have no meaning for us."

"That's right..." the hound sighed, "there is a bunch of lunatics on the opposite side, they can bet all their wealth, regardless of everything... But we can't, we have to live carefully in the future... For us, Both die together...Even if it is a tragic victory, it is no different from losing."

According to the hive master, Alpha Civilization and Alpha Planet have been branded by that existence. Not only is this not the new home of Ark Civilization, it cannot even be used as a long-term place to stay.That existence will notice the existence of Planet Alpha again sooner or later... No matter whether the Alpha civilization is strong enough to become his family, or it can only be reduced to nourishment in the end, after being "stocked" for such a long time, it has to come to "check and accept" the "results" .

At that time, He will find that the Alpha civilization has disappeared, and there is a weaker Ark civilization on this planet-although He will not destroy the Ark civilization immediately, but after being watched by Him, the Ark civilization will repeat the same The mistakes of the Alpha civilization... Those "disasters" that were staged in the hive capital will appear again.

Every human being in the Ark will be branded as belonging to that existence, and no matter where they escape to in the universe, they cannot escape His control.

The only chance for the Ark civilization is to inherit the legacy left by the Alpha civilization as much as possible while it has not noticed the changes on the Alpha planet, and then take the "Yagunaktor" to embark on a journey of interstellar drifting again.

"For the second round of attack, the main force will have to rely on the Skadi and the coalition forces of the various fortresses." The hound frowned, "Yaguna Ketor can participate in the battle, but only as a support unit..."

He didn't continue talking—Yagunaktor itself is indeed strong enough, but the biggest shortcoming is the lack of firepower...Using Yagunaktor as the main force, it can break through all obstacles, but if you just let it If it comes to support, then it can help the main force very little.

Unless, a way can be found to give Yagunaktor a "fast charge".
