Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 254 Descending Equipment
"It's possible to encounter..." Ke Lan nodded, "But judging from the last experience, these biological weapons have obviously not been developed yet, and most of the experimental records on those stone tablets ended in failure."

"Indeed, the monster that the pilot turned into last time is a bit tricky, but it's still too weak compared to the invulnerable monster like the Seed of Corrosion." The hound agreed, "The only thing we need to be careful about is Ke Lan. That eyeball you mentioned... I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

"However, judging from the exploration records of the previous hunting groups, the maximum depth they have reached is 440 meters, that is to say, it is safe within at least 500 meters..." Ke Lan said, shaking his head suddenly, "That's not right , they found biological tissues at 270 meters away, and these tissues may be those things sealed in the A-087 ruins..."

"I still have to go down and have a look." Ke Lan turned to look at Layton, "What about the equipment you brought this time?"

"It's all in the box." Layton said, dragged out a coffin-like black metal box from the table, and lifted the lid of the box with a snap.

Inside the box is a set of equipment similar to a powered exoskeleton. There are sharp claws operated by a hydraulic system at the end of the arms and the front of the feet, and a total of six armors are installed on the back, waist and calves. Mini rocket booster.

"The wind speed at the depth of 300 meters in the tiankeng is about 20 meters per second. If you want to maintain balance, you must increase the number of suspension cables to at least eight, but it is still very dangerous. I simply gave up the descent of the steel cable suspension. way, switch to rock-climbing equipment." Layton explained to everyone.

"In order to cope with the electromagnetic interference in the depths of the tiankeng, this set of exoskeleton adopts two control methods: chip control and mechanical control. Although it is relatively retro, it is more reliable than the leather." Layton said, and lifted the powered exoskeleton out of the box.

"The claws of both hands and feet are all made of Nino alloy, and each claw is equivalent to five sharp small ice picks, which can easily cut into the ice layer, and it is equipped with a heating device , to ensure that it will not be unable to be pulled out because it is frozen... As for the six rocket thrusters, they are the last resort."

"The last insurance method? How safe is it?" the hound asked casually.

"The power of the propeller is enough to keep you in a hovering state in the ninth-level gale. In this state, the pre-filled fuel can last for three 10 minutes. If you want to choose to escape from the ruins, you only need to adjust the jet angle , turn the output valve to the maximum, and if you accelerate from zero, it will take only 500 seconds to fly from the depth of [-] meters to the top of the tiankeng." Layton said, patting his chest.

"You idiot, you obviously only considered yourself when designing the equipment." The hound suddenly cursed, "The G force exerted on a person's body when accelerating with a thruster of this power is enough to rub the person's internal organs to pieces , Among the few of us, probably only you and Akira Asano can bear this load, anyway, I can't bear this old bone."

"Hey, old dog, you can't scold me this time. In order to deal with this problem, I have already thought of a way!" Layton smiled, and pulled out another thick package from the interlayer of the box. The package opened, and inside It is a well-crafted winter clothing.

"Bought from the military, it's a tactical anti-G suit for special missions in extreme cold areas. Protection, decompression, and cold resistance. The three problems can be solved at once, but the price is a little expensive."

"It seems that you have finally brought your brain to the fore. It's really rare." The hound unceremoniously picked up the anti-G suit, looked back and forth, and suddenly said, "Retract the preface, you fool has been tricked again Once, this dress was second-hand, didn't you notice the obvious wear and tear on the inner lining?"

"I can't help it..." Layton scratched the back of his head, "The output of this thing is very small, and it's not a one-size-fits-all. It would be nice to get a few second-hand goods that fit the size. Anyway, the actual effect will not be compromised, so let's just go with it." Let's wear it."

Although the hound's words were full of disgust, he had already put on the anti-G suit in the blink of an eye. He twitched the air pressure valve on the cuff, and the loose clothes that were originally loose suddenly tightened, wrapping the hound firmly. body of.

"It seems to be okay...the heat preservation effect is good." The hound nodded, and then with the help of Layton, he put the powered exoskeleton on the outside of the anti-G suit, "We have to try the new equipment first. Give it a try."

"Well, if you stay on it, you won't be able to analyze more things." Ke Lan nodded and agreed, "The first time you go down, let's set a goal of 50 meters deep."

"50 meters? Is it too conservative?" Layton asked, "Those steles won't appear until a depth of 150 meters. If you only set 50 meters, you won't be able to see anything."

"Our primary target is not those steles." Ke Lan replied, "First of all, we have to figure out the scope of the mental attack, and descend rashly, in case the 'things' in the sinkhole suddenly attack us, even if I can hear those Voice, it's too late to remind you... If possible, I even plan to go down 1.1 meters."

"Ke Lan is right. It's not a bad thing to be cautious. Those reckless people will die the fastest." said the hound. There was a metal friction sound of "噗咙".

Layton has prepared a total of six sets of such equipment, each set is tailored according to their body shape, so after wearing it, there is no uncomfortable feeling. Ke Lan even felt that the five ice-axe-shaped claws , as freely as the extension of one's own arm.

The six returned to the edge of the tiankeng again, but before they could go down, Dana, the leader of the Polaris Hunting Group, ran over quickly.

"What's going on with you? Are you planning to go down into the sinkhole yourself?" Dana asked in surprise, looking at the equipment on Ke Lan and the others.

The hound said, "What's the matter? Aren't we here to explore this ruin?"

"... But, but you already know... Half of the people who go down will go crazy, and you still want to take this risk yourself? I thought you would send hunters..." Dana said in amazement.

"We are the hunters of the Hunting God Hunting Group."

"He...Master Ke Lan...also?" Dana asked, pointing to the fully armed Ke Lan, "You, you want to go down too?"
