Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 1022 Double Moon Fortress
Ke Lan glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, and unexpectedly found that the call between himself and the intelligence dealer had not been disconnected—the interference of the Star Destroyer on the radio was no less than that of the electromagnetic pulse bomb just now. This call should have been made with the help of some "special means"...

Reminiscent of the time in the bottomless sinkhole, when he was immersed in the dream created by the "octopus monster", and the intelligence dealer was able to send "emails" into the dream, Ke Lan already noticed something was wrong.

Whether it's an email or a mobile phone, the so-called information carrier may just be a cover-up... After thinking for a moment, Ke Lan turned his hands over, pulled off the back cover, and pulled out the battery—a mobile phone that lost power The screen didn't go off, and the call was still on.

"Isn't this superfluous?" Ke Lan threw the phone out forcefully, then drew his pistol and shot the phone in the air.

At this time, the voice of the intelligence dealer rang directly in his mind: "Hey, when did you find out about this?"

"From the moment I picked up this phone, I found a problem. Judging by the degree of damage to this phone, it can't be turned on at all...These sounds and images are all generated in my brain, but these things are too realistic So much so that it gives people the same feeling that it happened in the real world. Except this time, when you were in the bottomless sinkhole and the ruins of the ancient bronze city, you also contacted me in this way, right?"

"Totally correct, ha...cough cough cough." The intelligence dealer's laughter suddenly turned into a cough, and Ke Lan could vaguely hear the soft sound of flesh and blood wriggling in the cough, "cough cough...the fool splits There is an invisible connection between the four personalities that came out, and with the help of some gadgets made by the Alpha civilization, we can communicate across space at the level of consciousness...ahem..."

"Your state doesn't seem right." Ke Lan replied consciously, "Why do you keep coughing? Also... since it's a communication on the level of consciousness, why can I hear these coughing sounds?"

"I want to cough out those growths in the respiratory tract...cough cough...it's a pity that they grow too fast...cough cough..." the intelligence dealer said, "As for the communication at the level of consciousness, the only way to communicate is to receive The informer is the purely conscious state, cough, and the user of the device is actually no different from making a phone call...cough cough."

"Are you super eclipsed?" Ke Lan couldn't help frowning.

"Almost...according to the progress, I should have broken through that critical point half a year ago. However, I used some methods to suppress the erosion progress, although this method is similar to drinking poison to quench thirst...cough cough...but at least it keeps me going It's about this time." The information dealer seems to be very anxious, his speech speed is getting faster and faster, "Okay, don't worry about me, act quickly... The space beacon is buried in the wall of the fifth floor of the underground ice storage .”

Ke Lan jumped in through the opening of the polygonal container - this is not the first time he has come to the fifth floor of the underground ice storage, but compared to the last time, the changes here are so big that he can't even recognize it.

After the original Yinglong's Egg was destroyed, the walls, floors and ceilings of the fifth floor of the underground ice storage were all demolished and redone, and the security measures were also greatly strengthened. The internal space was more than double the original size.Four fully transparent cabinets are neatly placed in the center, but three of them have been smashed open, and the contents in them have disappeared. As for the fourth glass cabinet, it was originally used to store living armor. of that container.

"Zero, can you sense the space beacon?" Ke Lan turned around and asked.

The girl tiptoed around the edge of the icehouse, and finally stopped in front of the wall at one o'clock, and said to Ke Lan: "There is a node with abnormal space in the wall, it should be the space beacon .”

"Open it."

The sharp space blade cut through the high-strength alloy cast wall like cutting tofu. When the cut was more than two meters deep, a black stone box buried in the wall appeared in Ke Lan's field of vision. middle.

Ke Lan carefully took out the stone box, opened the lid, and saw a rusty bottle cap.

There is an obvious indentation in the center of the bottle cap, and there are traces of deformation from being pried by a corkscrew on the edge.

"This thing...is a space beacon?" Ke Lan couldn't help asking.

"That's right, it's the space beacon leading to the 'New Moon'."

"That abnormal space node is attached to this thing." The information dealer and Ze Luo replied at the same time.

"Okay..." Ke Lan nodded and took out the bottle cap.It's a pity that the paint on the surface of the bottle cap has long since peeled off, and Ke Lan couldn't tell what the bottle was originally filled with.

But this is not important, this thing can teleport itself to the inside of the new moon in an instant, which is enough.

"Zero must stay here." The intelligence dealer added, "The moment the transmission channel opens, there will be very obvious spatial fluctuations. At that time, she will detonate the annihilation bomb to attract the attention of the undead crew... ... Cough cough, my suggestion is to throw the annihilation bomb directly towards the core area... don't worry about the aftermath of the explosion, cough cough cough, the undead crew will definitely try their best to suppress the destruction of the annihilation bomb to a minimum."

"What about you?" Ke Lan asked again.

"I still have...cough cough...other things to do...you can rest assured...before I become that kind of monster...cough cough cough...I will take care of all the aftermath, you don't need to come Wipe my ass...cough cough cough."

"I see." Ke Lan nodded silently—although he was not sure whether the other party could see his nodding—then turned to Ze Luo and said, "After the space channel is opened, put the annihilation bomb Throw it in the direction of the core area, and then you run away quickly, the farther you can escape, the better, find a place that is sufficiently concealed to hide, and I will come to you when I finish the matter."

"You said that I seem to be a child who has no self-protection ability at all." Ze Luo said expressionlessly.

"I'm worried about your safety." Ke Lan said seriously, "Your 'plug-in' is not completely invincible in front of things like the World Extinct Tree. What's more, we just encountered that kind of forbidden Enemy with magic power, if there is another one, what will you do?"

"I see, I will hide myself well." Zero nodded, "Now, do you want to open the transmission channel?"

"Open." Ke Lan handed the bottle cap to Ze Luo, "It's not too late, we've wasted too much time."

Ze Luo held the bottle cap and closed his eyes slightly. Ke Lan only felt a slight distortion in the surrounding space. In the next second, the entrance of a transmission channel appeared in front of him.

"The entrance can only last for a few seconds, go in quickly." Ze Luo urged softly.

"I will launch an annihilation bomb as soon as I go in." After saying this, Ke Lan jumped directly into the transmission channel.

The surrounding scenery began to distort. At first, Ke Lan felt as if he had been thrown into a high-speed drum washing machine. His internal organs, together with the food he ate not long ago, whether it was breakfast or lunch, seemed to be coming from his throat. Like throwing it out of the mouth...

But gradually, even this nausea and dizziness disappeared, and Ke Lan's consciousness and body seemed to be separated. He seemed to be able to see his body being broken down into the most primitive particles, and these particles were gradually accelerated to close to the speed of light ...He saw that the space at both ends of the passage seemed to be folded countless times, and the two places that were originally far apart were folded into the front and back of a sheet of paper...

It was the first time for Ke Lan to carry out such a long-distance teleportation in a fully awake state. In the teleportation channel, time seemed to have completely stopped. Ke Lan felt as if he had been frozen for many years, and even his thinking became a little slow That's it... Just when he began to wonder if there was something wrong with the transmission channel and whether he was trapped in it, the exit of the channel appeared in front of his eyes very abruptly, enveloping his body and consciousness go in.

"Boom!"

Ke Lan was spit out from the transmission channel, and fell heavily on a smooth and cold metal floor.

"arrive?"

Ke Lan supported the floor and stood up, rubbed his messy head, and looked around—this place seemed to be a warehouse, but the doors of the metal cabinets placed against the wall were all open, and the interior was empty.

He glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, the hands were still beating, and there were still eight hours and seven minutes left in the "countdown" he had set himself. It takes less than 7 minute.

Ke Lan's toes tapped the ground, and the whole person slowly floated up, drew an arc in mid-air, and landed a few meters away - judging from the body feeling, the gravity of this place is probably the same as that of Alpha Star. One-fifth of that, exactly in line with the estimated value of the gravity of the two moons by the astronomers on the Ark.

The gravity of the moon is one-sixth that of the earth, but due to the difference in size, density, and distance between the two moons and the alpha star, the gravity of the double moon is also different from that of the moon in the old era. As for the moon that accompanied the earth, It was blown up by humans as early as the "Wandering Earth" project started.

"It seems that I'm already inside Biyue."

Ke Lan moved towards the end of the room in a half-jumping and half-floating state—it stands to reason that such space fortresses are generally equipped with gravity simulation devices to facilitate the daily life of the stationed personnel, especially those who are already proficient in the Alpha civilization. For a civilization that has mastered the gravity control technology, it is impossible for the Double Moon Fortress to not have this kind of equipment...

Ke Lan couldn't help but have a bad idea in his heart: Could it be that the energy of the Double Moon Fortress has been exhausted?Even a gravity adjustment device is reluctant to open.

If this is the case, wouldn't the Star Destroyer Cannon set up on the Double Moon Fortress be completely a decoration?

Ke Lan moved to one end of the warehouse, where there was a gate more than three meters high. Before Ke Lan could reach it, the gate seemed to sense Ke Lan's approach and automatically lifted up.

The corridor outside was not lit, but when Ke Lan walked out of the warehouse, a familiar gravity was exerted on him immediately, which made him slightly relieved—it seems that the gravity adjustment device was not activated in the warehouse simply because This empty warehouse does not belong to the activity area of ​​the stationed personnel, and there is a high probability that there is no opening device to save unnecessary energy consumption.

"According to the intelligence dealer, this should be the new moon, right?"

There are no inscriptions on the walls, ceiling, and floor on both sides of the corridor, and the entire corridor contains very little information. This makes Ke Lan, who is used to the first step into the ruins and observes the surrounding environment, feel uncomfortable for a while—through The more information he obtains from observation, the more confidence he has in his heart. On the contrary, every step of the action must be cautious... Those risk factors hidden in unknown corners are like shackles that shackle the hunter's hands and feet, dragging him down. Slow pace of exploration.

But Ke Lan doesn't have so much time and energy consumption now. If he can't activate the Star Destroyer Cannon within eight hours, human civilization will come to an end here...

"Double Moon Fortress...Double Moon Fortress..." Ke Lan murmured the name silently. As an "outsider" level Alpha civilization relic, it is also the only "SSS level" relic, the No. [-] SSS level relic "Double Moon" "The exploration degree has always been zero.Apart from knowing that the two "moons" have firepower powerful enough to destroy all approaching aircraft, the Ark civilization knows nothing about the situation inside the two moons.

However, from the mouth of the hive capital master, Ke Lan learned some information related to Shuangyue:

After the Alpha star, that is, the earth in this time and space "settled" in this galaxy, the Alpha people wanted to restore the original ecological environment, so they tried to induce an asteroid to approach the Alpha star 6 years ago, and used Alpha The gravitational pull of the star captured it, making it a satellite of Star Alpha.

But later the Alpha people discovered that although the size of this asteroid was about the same as that of the moon, its mass was much larger than that of the moon, so the tides caused by the gravitational force were also more violent than the tides of the old era-that could no longer be determined by tides. To describe it, it is simply a catastrophic tsunami—several Alpha civilization cities built in the coastal area were destroyed, including the "Ring City" that sank underground.

In order to solve this problem, the Alpha civilization collected a large amount of resources from nearby celestial bodies and built a brand new artificial satellite. A delicate balance was reached between the new satellite and the asteroid. Checks and balances form a perfect "dual-satellite system".

The asteroid captured by the gravity of the Alpha star is called the "Old Moon", and the artificial satellite built by the Alpha civilization is called the "New Moon"... As for transforming these two satellites into space fortresses, It was what happened in the tens of thousands of years after that.
