Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 508 Extractor

Even the reconnaissance team can see the enemy below, and Ke Lan, whose thinking consciousness is completely connected with the battleship, can naturally see it too.

Not only can he see it, but he can also lock on all the targets at the same time with the aid of the battleship's own auxiliary devices - a total of 2615 enemy units, including 1190 humans, 1421 "containers" and mature seeds of erosion... and , four "unknown targets".

The "operating manual" of this battleship seems to have been entered into Ke Lan's mind along with the huge flow of information, even though he was still in a state of ignorance about this battleship before connecting to the console. status, but when he started the actual operation, everything became handy.

It's as if he's been manning this battleship for years.

It's not like a warship, but a car that he assembled by himself and has driven countless times: the tightness of the accelerator and clutch, the angle and number of turns of the steering wheel, the gear position of the gearbox and the speed of the engine... everything He didn't have to think about everything, and he didn't even need to pay attention to the readings on the dial. He could complete a series of extremely difficult operations just by relying on muscle memory.

If the unity of man and sword is the highest state of swordsmanship, then the "unity of man and ship" is probably the highest state of ship manipulation, right?
Of course, the ship manipulation mentioned here refers to the meaning of "manipulating a battleship", and it is definitely not the thing that players in those warship anthropomorphic games are thinking about.

Although Ke Lan's five senses have been completely isolated from his surroundings, he can hear the words of the hound and others through the viewing angle inside the battleship. If possible, he certainly wants to annihilate these enemies in the molten mine area.

There are no innocent people in heretical sects, whether they are those who join voluntarily or those who are forced to join under coercion and lure, since they have become members of this organization, their hands must be stained with the blood of the same kind—— Ke Lan saw a piece of information in the archives of the Security Bureau: If an ordinary person wants to join a heretical sect, after passing the preliminary examination, he must submit a "nomination certificate" to officially obtain the status of a "religion member".

And the weight of this "nomination certificate" also determines the high status of this person after joining the heretical sect.

The basic nomination certificate is to hunt and kill an exile who does not want to "convert" to a great god, the simplest of which is to capture those slaves who go out to collect food... Of course, if you have sufficient resources, you can even go to a certain place. The exile camp "spends money" to buy a slave back, and then sacrifices it as a "human sacrifice" to the great god.

The higher-level votes are to attack the various strongholds and transfer stations of the Ark, and use the "kills" obtained in the battle as their own votes... As for the highest-level votes, they are naturally those who are lurking. Those important roles in the high level of the Ark who secretly carried out the conspiracy, but the identity of the latter is rarely made public, even if some exposed chess pieces are cleared by the Security Bureau, they will arrange some other crimes for these people.

Killing these people, Ke Lan will not feel the slightest sense of guilt in his heart.

"Weapon system... poof... why are they all gray..."

When the idea of ​​"attack" popped up in Ke Lan's mind, a dense list instantly appeared in front of his eyes. Although the names of the weapons on the battleship were automatically translated into human languages, they were all Ke Lan's He couldn't understand the names, but just by looking at these names, he knew that these things were real "big killers".

For example, the "Astral Disintegration Position Generation Device" ranked first and the "Gravity Distortion Anchor Point" ranked second. Although Ke Lan didn't know the actual effects of these weapons at all, he followed these unknown names to associate Suddenly, a large cloud of cold sweat oozes from his back.

"Astral disintegration position"...It sounds like it should be specially used to deal with planets?Then this thing should be similar to the "star destroyer" commonly seen in science fiction works, right?
I just don't know what level of star this thing can "kill"...

In the trial of the bottomless sinkhole, Ke Lan knew that the Alpha Civilization possessed "star-killing weapons"—if Ke Lan's "trial mission" failed, the star-killing weapons would be activated, and the "crown of ashes" would be activated. "Destroyed with the asteroid.

The asteroid "Ash" is not an ordinary asteroid. After being devoured many times, its volume and mass are already very close to the threshold of a dwarf planet. Destroying such a star is as difficult as taking the Earth's One-third of the volume of the satellite moon was blown up.

(The dwarf planet data here is based on Pluto, which is one-sixth the volume of the moon and one-third the mass of the moon.)
But the civilization that built this ancient battleship is obviously stronger than the Alpha civilization, and their "star destroying weapons" should not only be used on asteroids or dwarf planets.

Ke Lan felt that this thing must be able to blow up a planet like Alpha Star. If it can even kill stars, then this thing should be regarded as a strategic weapon even for this third civilization. up.

However, the entire list totals 45 weapons, each with a greyed-out name--that is, none of which are active.

After digesting part of the information flow, Ke Lan has already guessed why the Alpha Civilization "soaked" this battleship in the magma pool - all the weapons on the battleship require a huge amount of energy to activate, and the conventional charging method , Even if the entire civilization's wealth is wiped out, the energy of the battleship cannot be fully charged.And the "Astral Disintegration Position Generation Device", which ranks first in weapons, requires 90% of the energy of the full state to start once...

So the Alpha Civilization simply sank this battleship into the magma pool, and let it absorb the geothermal energy of Alpha Planet... But Ke Lan is a little speechless, this thing has been soaked in the magma pool for at least 10,000 years. The charging progress is only a pitiful 6%...

Calculated according to this efficiency, if you want to launch a "star destroyer", wouldn't you have to soak in the magma pool for 150,000 years?

But then again, 150,000 years is nothing more than a fleeting moment compared to the billions of years a planet can live... But 150,000 years is too long for a civilization.

At least the Alpha Civilization couldn't wait until the battleship was fully charged.

Ke Lan glanced at the weapon with the least energy consumption on the list, which required 10% energy—he always felt that even the least powerful weapon on this battleship was probably enough to uproot the entire molten mine area.

"There are no usable weapons...then probably we can only use the hull of the battleship as a weapon, and use physical attacks...and trigger a high-intensity earthquake, which should be able to kill all the heretic sects in the mining area...but in this way For one thing, the old dogs without the protection of the light curtain will probably be shocked to death inside the battleship..." Ke Lan quickly thought about the countermeasures, "If the weapons don't work, then other things..."

Ke Lan focused on another "tool list" that popped up.

A name caught his attention - "biological organic matter extractor".

Although Ke Lan couldn't determine where this thing came from, he found that this thing could lock 2615 targets at the same time...

According to the literal meaning, it seems that organic matter can be "collected" from the body of a living body... Then if the collection efficiency is maximized, can people be instantly sucked into a skeleton?
Moreover, the energy consumed by launching this thing is almost negligible for ancient warships. The only limitation is that the extractor has only three storage units, that is to say, before the organic matter extracted last time is "digested" , he only had three chances to fire.

"Anyway, there are three chances, so let's use it as an experiment..." With this in mind, Ke Lan activated the extractor for the 2516 locked targets.As for the power of the extractor, to be on the safe side, he directly set it to the maximum...

In an instant, 2516 "threads" invisible to the naked eye "shot" out from the battleship, connecting all the locked targets with the extractors. In the next second, these invisible dotted lines were already covered in deep red. is replaced by a solid line!

At that time, the extremely delicate flesh and blood were transported to the storage unit along these lines, and the locked target had been drained of all the flesh before dying. "Organic"...

Humans or "containers" can still leave a broken skeleton riddled with holes, while those erosion seeds without bones are like slugs evaporated by high temperature, leaving only puddles of clear water. The liquid was vaporized by the hot rocks in the blink of an eye, and mixed into the rising smoke.

Although Ke Lan had already made some mental preparations, the actual effect of the extractor still made him lose his mind for a moment—this thing, used to deal with life forms, is clearly a super killer weapon that cannot be defended against. None of the exiles wearing power armor was spared... They were like a can that was cut open from the inside, and the flesh and blood pulled by an unknown force directly drilled a hole in the surface of the hard composite armor!
As for the rest of the reconnaissance team, they fell into unparalleled shock. The silence lasted for 2 minutes before Layton asked in a difficult voice: "What happened just now... Has anyone seen it clearly?"

"I'm not sure..." Ivan whispered, holding the wrist of his other hand tightly with his prosthetic limb, "I seem to see a thin red line appearing on those people... Then, Their skin, hair, flesh and internal organs are all gone... Only the bones are left..."

"Only human skeletons are left, and those monsters don't even have a scum..." Zhuoligetu added.

……

When Ke Lan recovered from the brief absence, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh—out of 2516 targets, only 2512 were eliminated, and there were four "unknown targets" who escaped.

But even though these four unknown targets have not died yet, their bodies have been torn apart, and they can no longer maintain their original shapes-Ke Lan noticed that among the four unknown targets, one of them was actually wearing the elite weapon. The squad's standard armor.

Could it be that he accidentally injured the friendly army?No, no, it's not a friendly army - the body of the "soldier" has been broken into two pieces, including the man and the armor, and all the organic matter in the lower half of the body has disappeared, leaving only the upper body with some flesh and blood ...

A normal person would have died long ago after being seriously injured by this piece, but the upper body of this "soldier" was still struggling and writhing, with fleshy tentacles stained with blood and filth constantly growing out of the section of his body, Trying to fill those shocking wounds.

His upper body was covered with densely packed small holes like wood eaten by termites, and the right side of his chest collapsed completely. A large amount of blood flowed out from the broken body, and was immediately covered by the ground. evaporation.

He was indeed one of the soldiers Ke Lan left on the outskirts of the mining area, but he is no longer a human being at this moment... Ke Lan couldn't help feeling sad: It seems that the support base should have fallen.

Just when Ke Lan focused his gaze on this mutilated body, the opponent's head was turned slightly to one side, and the eyes behind the transparent mask met Ke Lan's gaze directly.

"Can you feel my sight?" Ke Lan asked tentatively. You must know that he is using the external observation system of the battleship to spy on the entire mining area. If the other party can feel his sight, then his consciousness It should be able to communicate with it.

Sure enough, the "soldier" also said to Ke Lan with his consciousness: "Why... your consciousness was not swallowed by the battleship?"

"You are...a prophet?" Ke Lan felt that he could basically confirm the identity of this guy, "You are his substitute, right. There are three other people, and they are all the same... You really are willing to let go Bloody, only one substitute was sent during the trip to the sick village, but this time four were dispatched at once."

However, the person on the other side didn't pick up Ke Lan's words, but said to himself: "You can't survive... If you want to completely restart that system, even if you drain all your mental power, it's not enough, you should now It's a living dead person..."

The Prophet's stand-in suddenly stopped, and after two seconds, he suddenly said: "You must have integrated a complete 'sacred object', otherwise, you have no reason to still have self-awareness!"

"What exactly is the holy thing?" Ke Lan asked, he didn't intend to tell the other party what happened on the Greek, since this guy likes to guess, let him guess.I am not the kind of talkative villain in the movie, and I have to explain everything about myself before I do it—that kind of person probably has an almost perverted desire to express, but now, Ke Lan only wants him to die .

"Where did you find the complete holy object? Hasn't the semi-finished product been destroyed?" The substitute's consciousness was filled with anger and confusion.

Hmm... It seems that this guy's double doesn't have the ability to share information in real time. Otherwise, before the double was killed last time, the Prophet should have known that the semi-finished product was still alive, and it was just above the sick village.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is the special environment of the sick village, or that the abilities of Chiron, Zelo, and the puppets interfere with the information sharing ability of the avatar... You should be able to know this by asking Zelo after you go back.

As for the pile of rotten meat in front of him, he probably couldn't ask more questions.

For them, it is not worth wasting another chance to use the extractor. Ke Lan thought about it and began to slowly lower the floating height of the battleship.

At the same time, he reminded the entire reconnaissance team to prepare for the impact through the sound transmission device in the battleship.

"Ke Lan, you... what are you going to do?" the hound asked in horror.

"If it just wiped from the ground, shouldn't it cause a high-intensity earthquake?" Ke Lan said to the stand-in.

"Wait a minute! I want to make a deal with you. Even if you want to destroy my double, let me say something—"

The Prophet's stand-in didn't finish his sentence, and the bottom of the battleship had already touched the ground.

A huge roar suddenly sounded.
