Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 164 Cutting Rock Formations
Hearing the news, Mitsui was startled for a moment, and then suddenly let out a sneer: "Heh... Then, Mr. Ke Lan, do you have evidence?"

He tapped the ground under his feet, and added: "This giant beast, Leviathan, is proof that it is still alive."

"No." Ke Lan answered very simply.

"No? Hahahahaha...Mr. Ke Lan, do you know that you will be punished with a felony for lying about 'emergency 000'? Even the Soma Consortium can't protect you."

"But the Mitsui Foundation still uploaded this news to Fang Zhou, which shows that you don't completely disbelieve what I said."

"We are just acting according to the regulations. Even if it is false news, the Mitsui Foundation does not need to bear any responsibility." Mitsui said confidently, "On the contrary, it is you, Mr. Ke Lan, I am looking forward to it, what do you want? Only then can you convince me, and... how about convincing the Ark headquarters?"

"It's actually very simple to obtain evidence of Leviathan's resurrection," Ke Lan said.

At this time, the uneasiness that flashed in his subconscious before resurfaced again, causing him a little hesitation. After weighing it over and over again, Ke Lan still made a decision—"The base is directly below Leviathan's Spine, if you want to confirm whether Leviathan is resurrected, you only need to dig out the rock formation."

"What if after digging it out, it turns out that the giant cocoon has nothing to do with Leviathan?" Mitsui said in a deep voice.

"Then I am willing to take all the responsibilities." Ke Lan replied, looking directly into the other person's eyes.

"You have to bear all the responsibilities." Mitsui narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Ke Lan, it's the same as if you didn't say that."

"Then what do you think I should say, Mr. Mitsuisuke?"

"Our request is also very simple," Mitsui said, and stretched out four fingers to Ke Lan, "If it turns out that Leviathan has not been resurrected, I ask you to send the No. The mining rights of No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] mines were transferred to us unconditionally... Isn't this too much?"

"Sorry, Mr. Mitsuisuke, I don't seem to have that authority." Ke Lan shrugged, "However, I have a higher bargaining chip. I don't know if the Mitsui Consortium is interested."

"Huh? Let's hear it."

Ke Lan took out the tablet from his bag, opened the test report of the ultra-pure crystal, and handed it to Mitsusuke.

"What is this... what?!" When Mitsuisuke moved his eyes to the screen, his expression changed subtly: first from disdain to astonishment, and then to shock——

Ke Lan has been observing the subtle expressions on the opponent's face, and he can basically be sure that this Mitsusuke was completely ignorant of the ultra-purity crystallization before... The information he has is limited to "the base of the Soma Consortium was killed in the mine." Unidentified monsters came out and attacked, causing heavy losses.”

"Ultra...Ultra-purity crystal? Does this thing really exist? Could it be that you just made it up?!"

"Please pay attention to the file serial number and digital key at the bottom of the file. These things can be found in the confidential archives of the Soma Consortium. I don't have permission to modify the things there."

As for how Mitsuisuke can access the confidential archives of the Soma Consortium, Ke Lan did not say clearly, but each consortium will have commercial spies placed by other consortiums. It was generally difficult to climb to the top, but access to the secret archive was still possible-as long as he could get the digital key.

The information on the ultra-purity crystal has been leaked, and the value of this file has been severely reduced, but before it becomes a piece of waste paper, Ke Lan still intends to squeeze out its last value...

In other words, this is the naked "empty glove white wolf", but Mitsusuke has no knowledge of it...

"Okay!" Mitsui exhaled heavily, "If the Soma Consortium can use the samples of ultra-purity crystals and related information as bargaining chips, I will ask the base to transport large excavation equipment here now!"

"There is only information, and we only have one sample in our hands. If the Mitsui Consortium wants it... I can get to the bottom of it a little bit. This thing is related to the attack on the base of the Soma Consortium, and the monsters that crawled out of the depths of the mine... And the giant cocoon outside are closely related."

Ke Lan paused, and continued: "Maybe, after digging up the rock formation, there are ultra-pure crystals underneath... If the Mitsui Consortium gains anything during the excavation process, it will all belong to the Mitsui Consortium. No money will be taken."

"make a deal!"

……

……

Not long after, the transport plane of the Mitsui consortium appeared over the base of the Soma consortium. Mitsusuke, Ke Lan, Hound and others also gathered on the square together.

"Ke Lan," the hound walked to Ke Lan's side, and pulled Ke Lan's sleeve calmly, "I think you are still too impulsive, and you shouldn't let Layton send emergency 000... Although you and Mitsusuke The bet between them has nothing to do with it, but if there is no sign of Leviathan's resurrection...the matter will be difficult to deal with if the Ark is held accountable. Even if the military comes forward, I'm afraid they may not be able to keep you."

The hound got closer again, and whispered in Ke Lan's ear: "It's really impossible, you don't want to go back to the ark after this time, and avoid the limelight outside, the military chief of Hells is my old friend, I can Help you get a fake identity..."

The Herhes mentioned by the hounds is a plateau located in the northern hemisphere of the Alpha star. The Ark built a large fortress there, which was specially used to supply the field troops performing long-distance missions. In that fortress, the number of permanent troops With more than 30,000 people, it is the third largest human gathering place on Alpha Planet after the remains of the Ark and Leviathan.

"Don't worry." Ke Lan shook his head slightly, "Let's see what can be dug out here first."

The transport plane of the Mitsui consortium transported a "Longinus Gun MkⅡ" large-scale laser drilling machine. This drilling machine has a drill bit shaped like a steel fork. Both tips of the steel fork can emit high-power lasers. When the "steel fork" is rotated, the two laser beams can quickly cut a circular deep well on the target rock formation.

According to the plan finalized by Ke Lan and Mitsuisuke, with the giant cocoon on the square as the center, the "Longinus Gun MKⅡ" will cut eight symmetrical deep wells at a position 100 meters away from the giant cocoon, and then place these eight The deep wells are connected with each other, so that the circular rock formation where the giant cocoon is located is isolated.

Immediately afterwards, the small cutting machine is pushed inward little by little, dividing the circular rock formation like cutting a cake, and finally, the crane lifts up all the divided rock formations!
