Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 512 The battle is over
"It's really you!" Lieutenant General Magino seemed to have forgotten that the helicopter was hovering in the air, and suddenly stood up from his seat, "Why did you come here? Also, what is this thing? You, you Now in this... this 'battleship'?"

"General Magino, I think I have to remind you that this is a public channel." Ke Lan said softly.

"Everyone can hear our conversation," he added.

"Uh..." Machino froze for a moment. He wanted to switch channels subconsciously, but found that he didn't know any other way to establish communication with Ke Lan other than the unencrypted public channel.

The ship identification code of "Yagunaktor" is ZZZ999, but this is only a temporary code.Levi checked it with the computer at hand. This code is indeed in the combat sequence of the Field Corps, but it was added just 3 minutes ago. Except for the code name "Yagunaktor", all the information is is blank.

He looked up, nodded to Lieutenant General Maginot, then shook his head again.

Nodding means that there is nothing wrong with Ke Lan's words. This exaggeratedly large "warship" is indeed to support the friendly forces of the Mukakh base. There is no problem with the ship identification code and operation number. Bian has also confirmed the identity of this "battleship".And then he shook his head because he couldn't find any information about this "battleship" at all, and he couldn't contact Ke Lan through means other than the public channel.

But fortunately, the seed of erosion and the giant centipede that invaded the base have been wiped out, and this matter is not in a hurry... But Levi always feels that even after this matter is over, it may be difficult for them to figure out these issues The answer... maybe, they will have to sign a ten-page "hush agreement" by then.

At the same time, the soldiers in the base who recovered from the shock also began to ask each other, wondering if anyone had ever heard of this name and seen this... "Battleship".

"Ke Lan?" The warrant officer repeated the name silently, "The new lieutenant general Maginot seemed to know him just now... He also said he was Ke Lan from the Hunting God Hunting Group... the Hunting God Hunting Group ? Isn’t he a soldier, but a relic hunter?”

Could it be that this "warship", which is many times larger than the entire Mukakh base, is being operated by a relic hunter?

Are you... are you kidding me?
As the traffic center at the junction of the four major plains, the Mukahe military base often sees some relic hunters passing by as soldiers stationed here. Warrant officers are no strangers to this profession.

But in his impression, the equipment of most relic hunters is limited to the level similar to that of elite mercenaries, not to mention that there are many low-level hunters with shabby clothes and thin faces... Those people can't be called relic hunters at all. It would be more appropriate to call it "scavenger".

This kind of "scavenger" basically does not have the ability to independently explore the ruins. They can only follow behind other hunters, pick up some leftover garbage picked up by others and bring it back for a few dollars. If they are lucky, they can even eat some leftovers. Broiled, Tangtangshuishui, if you are unlucky, basically you can only do some hard work for other hunters in exchange for a little hard money.

It’s not the worst thing to be able to work hard. Some hunters who borrowed usury to buy equipment, in order to pay off the debt, even had to exchange their lives for money... For example, to open the way for those high-level hunters who are reluctant to die, and use their bodies to explore the ruins the agency...

It's not that I look down on relic hunters, but the warrant officer always has an indescribable dislike for this profit-seeking profession.

Of course, the hunting group also has that kind of elite, who are so well equipped that even the agents of the Security Bureau can hardly hold a candle to them, but no matter how well equipped they are, it would cost a million dollars to cover them up from head to toe, and the cost could easily be tens of billions. Compared with our warships, that is simply a thousand miles away.

Compared with the guy in front of him, the warships that cost tens of billions of dollars are more than one hundred and eight thousand miles away. The main battleships of the Ark Fleet, in front of this big guy, are at best the kind that are placed on the table as a pawn. A plastic model of an ornament...

How could a relic hunter possess such a thing?

Could it be that... this battleship was made by the Alpha Civilization, and it was dug out from the ruins by this relic hunter named "Ke Lan"? !

The warrant officer himself was taken aback by his own thought—fortunately, this relic hunter was still subject to the control of the Ark. If he chose to join the camp of heretic sects, or simply set up his own sect, the consequences would be unimaginable...

While thinking about these things, the warrant officer walked out of the alley, but just ran into several soldiers carrying a person out of a dormitory building with only the bottom floor left.

The warrant officer took a closer look and found that these soldiers were all under his command. They were the team he wanted to rescue when he turned back to the camp, but he didn't see Sergeant McCarthy who was leading the team.

"Where's McCarthy?" He just asked, and found that these people were carrying McCarthy who was seriously injured and unconscious.

McCarthy's right leg was severed by Qi Gen. Although emergency hemostatic treatment had been done, blood continued to seep out from under the gauze and drip to the ground.

"Warrant officer? Why are you here?"

"Answer my question first, what happened to McCarthy?" the warrant officer continued to ask.

"Sergeant McCarthy is injured, we're going to take him to the medical station!" replied a soldier.

"How did you get injured?" Seeing the blood stained on the hands of the soldiers, the warrant officer asked in a nervous tone with a serious look on his face.

"It was injured by a mutant...Fortunately, our reinforcements killed that monster. Uh, I mean that thing in the sky... Otherwise, our entire team may have to confess here."

"Wounded by a mutant?" The warrant officer subconsciously pulled out the pistol with active ammunition.

"Warrant officer! Wait a minute! Don't shoot!" A medical soldier with a snake staff logo on his shoulder rushed up and blocked McCarthy, "Sergeant McCarthy was not infected, and the first time he was injured , I performed an amputation operation for him!"

"Where is the injured part?" the warrant officer asked coldly.

"It's the ankle. The barbed tentacles on the mutant hooked Sergeant McCarthy's ankle and dragged him to the ground. Just when we thought Sergeant McCarthy was about to be killed, the mutant My body just fell apart." The medic recounted the situation, but the barbs on the tentacles pierced the combat boots and entered Sergeant McCarthy's flesh, and I feared the sergeant was infected. , and directly amputated his entire leg. "

"The ankle was injured, and the amputation was performed immediately at the base of the leg. The whole process only took a few minutes at most, and the diffusion speed of the invading cells should not be so fast..." the warrant officer thought to himself, "But the one who attacked McCarthy was a mutant, mutant. The cells of this species cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes, and there is a high risk of parasitic..."

"That's it." The warrant officer put away his gun and said to the medical soldier, "Don't send him to the medical station, but to the 'Erosion Seed Container Processing Department', explain the details to the people there, and ask them to give McCarthy Do a detailed examination. Oh yes, you guys, anyone who has had direct or indirect contact with McCarthy’s body and blood, will also undergo an examination, and then report to the isolation place by yourself, and do it again after 72 hours Check, and if there is no problem, you are allowed to return to the team."

"Seventy-two hours? But, Warrant Officer, there's no battle yet..."

"The battle is over." The warrant officer raised his head, glanced at the "Yagunaktor" suspended in the air, and repeated, "The battle is over... Even if it is not over, it is not something we can intervene to an extent."

"Uh...warrant officer, I seem to have heard that our reinforcements... are not regular troops, but relic hunters?" the medical soldier lowered his voice slightly and said.

"This matter is not something we should be in charge of... But no matter whether he is a relic hunter or something else, at least he saved us and the entire base." The warrant officer said seriously, "Okay, you guys send McCarthy there quickly, and then If it drags on, he will bleed dry."

"What about you, warrant officer?" the medic asked.

"I... I will go to the first blocking line to have a look." The warrant officer replied.

"There's no one alive there anymore."

"I know."

……

……

On the other side, Maginot and Levi began to organize their subordinates to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded—with "Yagunaktor" "pressing" above the base, they didn't need to worry about the second wave of attacks from heretic sects at all, and they even There is no need to rush to block the collapsed wall in the first place.

Of course, that huge sinkhole is still a restricted area, and all soldiers have received orders not to approach - but there is one exception: that is the Molten Mine Reconnaissance Team who just came out of "Yagunaktor".

Everyone in the reconnaissance team except Ke Lan has landed on the ground at this time - they don't even need to go through the long tunnel, Ke Lan directly opened a portal for them in the power room, Send them to the outside of the battleship, and then use a handling tool similar to the "anti-gravity elevator" to let them fall safely to the ground.

"It's much more convenient to come out than to go in." The hound said with a smile, "It's really convenient to send this kind of thing. It would be great if the guys in the research institute could imitate it."

"Even if we can build it, it won't work at all." Ke Lan's voice sounded in the team channel, "The energy consumption of this device is so high that you can't even imagine... You know, this battleship absorbs enough energy at the bottom of the magma pool. With 10,000 years of geothermal energy, this distance can only be used about [-] times.”

"It's like soaking in a magma bath for five years, so you can use one teleportation, right?" Layton pondered, "However, it takes more than ten kilometers to teleport from the power room to the outside of the battleship, and this consumption is not exaggerated. .”

"Can it be teleported further?" The hound asked again, "For example, teleport me directly back to the ark, can it be done?"

"No." Ke Lan replied, "The teleportation function can only be inside the battleship or within a distance of less than one kilometer from the battleship... If it exceeds this range, the protection device of the battleship itself will not be able to take effect on the teleportation."

"Protective device? What will happen if this protective device is not used?" The hound was a little curious.

"It's like being sucked into a black hole wearing only a pair of big pants." Layton replied for Ke Lan.

"Then can I time travel?" Hound scratched his head, "Before I was bored, I read some online novels, in which the protagonist was sucked into a black hole, wouldn't they all travel to a parallel world? There is a parallel world in which there are only women and men in the whole world." There is only one protagonist, hehe, if only I could travel to this kind of world."

"Can you travel through a fart... Do you remember how many people died when the Ark passed through the wormhole? The body entered the black hole, and your body was broken down into tiny particles that are invisible to the naked eye before you get close to the edge of the black hole..." Okay? It was easy to seize an opportunity, and Layton naturally would not let it go, and complained fiercely about the hound.

"Also, even if there is such a parallel world, you will only be caught by those women as a research object... just like a mouse locked in a glass bottle." Ivan also added a knife by the way.

"Hey, I was just joking, I managed to escape from the dead, and you guys took it seriously when I said a few jokes." The hound said with a smile, picking out a big lump of nose from its nostrils. Shit, while Layton wasn't paying attention, wiped it on his ass.

"Long-distance teleportation is not possible, but I just checked, and it seems that this warship is equipped with a transition device." Ke Lan said, "It's just that the energy consumption is too high. If you want to initiate a transition, you must at least be in the magma pool Soak for tens of thousands of years."

"Travel device? Is it something that can accelerate objects above the speed of light, even if there is no natural wormhole?" Layton was stunned for a moment, "I heard that a group of people in the research institute have been working on this thing, as if It is through the use of some "curvature drive" to break the limit that the speed of light cannot break through, but the curvature drive must first have the ability to fold space...and it will have a permanent impact on the flight path..."

The principle of the curvature-driven engine is to expand the "curvature" of the universe itself, so as to accelerate the object - just like the limit speed of a car driving on a plane is 100 kilometers per hour, but if the road is changed to If the slope is downhill or simply vertical, then on this special road, the car can easily break through the original limit speed.

[PS Thank you for the 1500 starting coins who claim to be rewarded by Sherlock Holmes; thank you for the 100 starting coins rewarded by Hanhan Zhenjun. (This old man said yesterday that he tipped 200 coins instead of 100 coins. In fact, it was a background card, and only one tipping record was displayed. The starting point is pot orz.)]

[PPS is still the same sentence, all the content in this book that involves professional knowledge, such as jumps, teleportation, wormholes, curvature-driven engines, etc., are purely the author's nonsense, please don't take it seriously and don't compare it with the real world The thing with the same name is in the right place, and reading novels is purely for fun, and it’s boring to go back and forth. 】
