Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 1023 New Moon
What is inside the old moon and the new moon, even the owner of the hive capital does not know. He only knows that the Double Moon Fortress was once a powerful weapon prepared by the Alpha civilization to fight against the alien family. In addition to the Star Destroyer Cannon, it is also equipped with A large number of strategic weapons, launched by any fortress, are enough to destroy the human civilization on earth in the old era hundreds or eighty times.

In the dimly lit corridor, Ke Lan couldn't help but wonder which direction to go - except for the door of the warehouse where he came out, there were no signs in the corridor, no street signs, no lighting lamps, and even the walls and There is no unblocking between the ground and the ceiling.

The entire corridor was one piece, as if a tunnel had been carved out of a large ingot of metal.

"Is anyone there?" Ke Lan tried to shout.

no respond.

He thought about it, maybe it was because the Alpha people couldn't understand Chinese, so he ignored him, and immediately changed to the Alpha language and asked again.

"anyone there?"

With a swipe, the lights in the entire corridor turned on—the reason why Ke Lan didn't see these lights before was because all the lamps were installed inside the walls. Although the walls were made of alloy materials, they were installed The place of the lamp is designed to be very thin, and the brightness of the lamp itself is very high. The light naturally passes through the wall and reflects into the corridor.

"Who are you?" A voice asked, and Ke Lan subconsciously wanted to trace the source of the voice, but found that the voice seemed to be coming from all directions - what's even more outrageous is that in a narrow semi-enclosed environment like the corridor However, this sound did not produce an echo effect. At least according to Ke Lan, the sounds coming from all directions were not in sequence in time, and the volume and timbre were exactly the same, not like an echo at all.

"Are you the night watchman staying behind in your New Moon Fortress?" Ke Lan asked bluntly—there is not much time left, and he has no time to circle around with the opponent. The World Extinct Tree was blown away.

For a large weapon like a Star Destroyer, the preparation time will definitely not be short—take Yagunaktor’s example, if it is a Star Destroyer with 30.00% power, it will take five hours for the energy storage time alone. If the new If the charging efficiency of the Star Destroyer Cannon of the Moon Fortress is slower than this, the time left for Ke Lan can be said to be very tight.

"I'm asking you." The other party's tone was very calm, without any emotion at all.

"I'm a human, a human from the Ark civilization!" Ke Lan emphasized, "I was pulled here by you, a human from another parallel time and space."

"No, you are not human." The other party's voice remained unchanged.

To be honest, Ke Lan hates to argue with this kind of guy who doesn't like oil and salt the most, and said eagerly: "Okay, I am what you say! But, I have something very important, if you don't want to have an interview with me, then I'm going to say it right here!"

"The corroders on the ark successfully germinated the crown of ashes variant No.194a, and in another 910 seconds, its roots will penetrate the earth and become one with the earth." The other party said " "Earth", obviously referring to Planet Alpha, "Your purpose is to use the Star Destroyer Cannon on the New Moon Fortress to destroy the Crown of Ashes mutant No.194a."

"Since you know everything, why do you still ask those irrelevant things? Is it fun?" Ke Lan couldn't help but get angry when he heard the other party explain the purpose of his trip as if he was reading a script.

"Wait...Use the official whole process to describe the Tree of Extinction. The countdown is counted in seconds...Are you an Alpha, or something else?" Ke Lan suddenly sensed something was wrong, and asked subconsciously road.

"I am the core control hub of the New Moon Fortress, code-named 'Selene'."

"Sure enough...it's an artificial intelligence program." Ke Lan's heart trembled. "Then... what about the Alpha people who stayed behind in the New Moon Fortress? Are they here now? Can I have a direct conversation with them?"

"Unfortunately," although Selene said 'regret', but Selene's tone did not mean regret at all, "Just 6 minutes ago, the last Alpha just disappeared from this world."

"6 minutes ago?" Ke Lan glanced down at his watch, "Isn't that when I was just teleported to the New Moon Fortress? Isn't this a coincidence?"

"It's not a coincidence. You are the direct cause of their disappearance - there is a space-time paradox between the Alpha people and the humans on the Ark. The only way to avoid this paradox is for the two parties not to have any contact. After you are teleported When you arrive at the New Moon Fortress, there will inevitably be intersections between you and the last Alphas, so the space-time paradox is triggered again, and their existence is directly erased." Selene replied.

"However, I remember that the 776 special team saw an Alpha man in the ruins of a planetary engine, and there was a dialogue between the two parties... Although the dialogue failed, he did not contact these soldiers. It was obliterated by the space-time paradox! In the end, he died at the hands of those soldiers who could not understand the language, how to explain this?" Ke Lan was puzzled.

"What those soldiers saw was not a native Alpha, but a 'pseudo-Alpha' cultivated using biochemical technology and artificially implanted with personality and memory. It is connected to a planetary engine through a base, and it is essentially the same as me. It is part of the planetary engine." Selene explained in concise words.

"What the 776 special team saw was actually a humanoid intelligent computer? A 'part' of a planetary engine...something like the core brain?" Ke Lan couldn't help but twitched his mouth, "That is to say, Alpha people and Humans from the Ark civilization will never be able to meet each other? No, according to the hive master, the Fool clearly had contact with the Alpha civilization when he first landed on Planet Alpha!"

"He is in contact with the Alpha civilization, not the Alpha people. Any direct contact, including physical contact and visual contact, will lead to the occurrence of space-time paradoxes, and even the inevitable intersection of future timelines will also erase the Alpha people. The existence of the existence. The only way for two humans in parallel time and space to communicate is to use physical information carriers for indirect communication, but doing so will still lead to the occurrence of space-time paradoxes, but it will be delayed in time. "

"Indirect communication? It means that the Alpha people write information on a message board, then put the message board in a prominent place, and then send a signal for the Fool or other Ark people to find this message board and read the messages on it. The message...does this mean?"

"Basically close." Selene said, "But when the Ark people start reading this message board, it means that the reader and the messager have an intersection, even if this intersection is only indirect, it will also lead to the message. The existence of was gradually weakened until it was completely wiped out from this world."

Hearing what the other party said, Ke Lan couldn't help but a picture popped up in his head: an Alpha man left a dense long text on a stone slab, and after throwing the slate on the wilderness, he fired a firework-like bomb into the air. The signal flare, and then fled away.

The Fool cruising in the wilderness rushed to the location where the stele was after discovering the signal flare and found the stele. When the Fool picked up the stele and began to read the words on it, the body of the Alpha man who left the stele began to gradually blur... …until the Fool finished reading the entire stele, the alpha man disappeared completely.

This is simply using life to convey information...

Ke Lan suddenly understood why in the memory fragment of the Fool, the Alpha civilization aircraft that saved the Fool and the others would fall straight from the sky as if out of control, and they could not find any corpses from the wreckage of the aircraft— ——That was not a remote-controlled drone, but the alpha pilot who was driving it was wiped out by the space-time paradox after completing the mission, and the aircraft that lost its operator naturally crashed.

"Then there are no Alphas, can the Star Destroyer Cannon of the New Moon Fortress still be activated?" At this time, Ke Lan has no time to mourn these Alphas who disappeared because of him-after all, this is the fate they chose, what he has to do , It is to preserve the existing Ark civilization, so that the Alpha civilization...and more human civilizations in parallel time and space that he does not know are sacrificed in vain.

"Yes." Selene replied, "But the Star Destroyer needs to be activated manually. After all the garrison personnel in the New Moon Fortress have disappeared, as the core control hub, I do not have the authority to activate the Star Destroyer."

"How do I get this permission?!" Ke Lan was a little impatient—the Fool might have counted that the Star Destroyer Cannon of the New Moon Fortress could deal with the giant tree, but he certainly didn't. When Ark Civilization decided to use the power of the New Moon Fortress At that time, all remaining Alpha people on the New Moon Fortress will be obliterated due to the space-time paradox.

A wise man thinks a lot, and there is bound to be a mistake... But it is this mistake, and the result is that the whole game is lost!
Selene didn't answer, but there was a piercing friction sound in the corridor. The friction sound came from far to near... In less than 5 minutes, a coffin-shaped vehicle with a streamlined shell and two conical heads was in the coffin. Lan stopped in front of her, and the vehicle's cover slid open to one side, revealing the seat placed inside.

This meant that Ke Lan was obviously being asked to lie down.

"The central control room of the New Moon Fortress is in the center of the earth. It is 7 kilometers away. The shuttle can move through the tunnel at twelve times the speed of sound. It can take you to the central control room within [-] minutes." It seems to be Noticing Ke Lan's hesitant expression, Selene explained.

"Anyway, go to the central control room first and then think of a way..." Ke Lan lay down inside the shuttle, and after the cockpit cover was closed, a viscous liquid surged up from under the seat, covering the entire cockpit. The space was completely filled, and these fluids, which are very similar in nature to LCL, could even dissolve the air. They penetrated into Ke Lan's ear and nose, squeezing out all the cavities in Ke Lan's ear canal and lungs.

Ke Lan knew that this liquid was used to defuse the G force exerted on the passengers when the shuttle moved at high speed, but in the next second, he discovered that the liquid had another function——

A strange electric current traveled along Ke Lan's ear canal to his brain, and as he approached, the internal structure diagram of the New Moon Fortress appeared in his mind. The image of a woman entered his field of vision.

"You are Selene?" Ke Lan opened his mouth, but his throat was already filled with anti-G fluid, and he couldn't make any sound... Fortunately, this fluid seems to be a communication channel on the level of consciousness. At the same time that this idea came to Ke Lan's head, he could feel that the other party had "heard" this sentence.

"I'm Selene." The young woman nodded to Ke Lan—although the Alphas themselves turned into monsters with half-length tentacles, the AI ​​avatar they designed was still 100% human, and it was quite in line with The aesthetics of earthlings in the old era, at least, in Ke Lan's eyes, there are only three people who can be more beautiful than Selene's avatar.

Zero, Zofia Soma, and Aphdirote, the sixth "lover" of the Undead Crew.

The shuttle started to accelerate. Although Ke Lan's whole body was covered in fluid, he could still feel the strong push back. A number representing the speed appeared on Ke Lan's retina - from zero to twelve times The speed of sound, the shuttle only took 11 seconds, and I don’t know how the propulsion device of this thing can achieve such a terrifying output power. From the outside, it is obvious that there are only six jets the size of a bowl, and these are added on both sides. up the number.

"Has the Fool been here?" Ke Lan planned to ask Selene something related to the Fool while he was on the way.

"No human from the Ark civilization has entered the Double Moon Fortress, and you are the first." Selene replied truthfully.

"That's right, otherwise the Alphas who stayed in the fortress would have disappeared long ago... Wait, I came to the new moon, so the Alphas on the old moon should still be there? Can you find a way to contact them? I mean It's not me to contact, but you to contact, tell them tactfully, let them use the old moon's star destroyer to bombard the World Extinct Tree, this should be possible, right?" Ke Lan said excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent .

"I'm sorry, the communication between the old moon and the new moon has been disconnected for more than 1 years. I don't know if there are still Alpha people in the old moon."

"Huh... well." Ke Lan was a little disappointed, "Are there any Alphas left besides the Alphas left behind in the Double Moon Fortress?"

"Before pulling you to this time and space, there was a 'refuge fleet' carrying 150 million people out of this space, but after they left, we lost all their news."
