Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 518 Ye Yan calls
"War Traumatic Stress Syndrome," Ivan continued, "a type of PTSD, the most famous example in history is the 'Annan War' that occurred from the 20s to the 50s in the old era. According to incomplete statistics, More than one-third of the soldiers who participated in the Annan War in the United States suffered from this kind of mental illness. In this war, the American army killed about 70 soldiers, but many of the living soldiers chose to go home after returning home. In order to end their lives by suicide...the number of these suicides has even surpassed the number of soldiers who died directly on the battlefield."

"I've heard about this war..." The hound curled his lips and said, "It is said that as long as those retired veterans hear the sound of helicopter blades or metal collisions, they will immediately fall into tension, and even draw their guns at them. In addition, they will also have hallucinations when they go to places with dense vegetation or complex terrain, and they always suspect that there are people hiding in those trees and bushes, and they are pointing their guns at themselves... This is very common in the history of war. It’s a classic topic, one of the compulsory courses for field corps officers is to pay attention to and ensure the mental health of their subordinates..."

The hound paused, and a look of sadness flashed in his eyes: "But what's the use of this? The people who write the project are experts in white coats, sitting in the laboratory or office, and they don't personally After experiencing the cruelty of the battlefield, how can we help those soldiers come out of their nightmares?"

"Let's not mention this for now." Ivan said in a deep voice, "Since the survivors of the Velociraptor team suffer from war traumatic stress syndrome, will it become a fixed...an unstable situation if they join? factor?"

Ivan originally wanted to say a time bomb, but after thinking about it, he changed it to a more euphemistic term.

People with PTSD, especially veterans with war trauma emergency syndrome, are fine if they are not stimulated. If they accidentally bump into their stressors, the situation is more troublesome than getting in a few "black apples".

At least the purpose of those black sheep is for their own interests, even if they are too much, they will still retain some sanity, and a veteran with war trauma emergency syndrome is a complete lunatic, unable to communicate at all.

"But I think they are all quite normal, talking and laughing along the way...not like the kind of people who have mental problems." Zhuoligetu scratched his head and said.

"When a mental patient is not ill, he is no different from a normal person." The hound sat down cross-legged, and tapped the edge of the hard rubber sole with his fingertips, "I think we can think about it again, this kind of thing ...still focus on stability."

"I agree with the old dog's point of view." Ke Lan said, "According to the information I have obtained so far, there are indeed some indigenous creatures living inside the battleship, but there are no particularly powerful ones - the mutated lava beetle in the power room is a special case , what we need are experienced hunters, and the requirements for personal strength are actually not high."

Just after Ke Lan finished speaking, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly. He took it out and saw that the profile picture displayed on the screen was a familiar fat man—Ye Yan from the Ye Family Consortium.

Glancing at the dialog box of "The other party applies for video communication", Ke Lan covered the camera of the phone with his thumb, and then clicked "OK."

"Hello, Young Master Ye?"

"Brother Ke Lan?" Ye Yan's voice sounded a little eager, and there was a bit of irrepressible excitement in it.

"Ah, it's me, Ye Shao, you called my cell phone, so of course I'm the one who answered the phone." Ke Lan replied.

"But... why is the picture on your side so dark, I can't see you?" Ye Yan asked.

"Oh, it's because I don't have a light here, so I can't see it."

"There is no light? But it should be daytime over there, so you are—" Ye Yan said and stopped abruptly, "Well, Brother Ke Lan, we should be friends, right?"

"Forget it." From Ye Yan's first sentence, Ke Lan already knew the purpose of the other party's visit, let alone his sentence "It should be daytime on your side", which shows that Ye Yan already knew After leaving Ke Lan, they were at the Mukahe military base, and he must have known about the heretic sect invasion and the ancient warship.

"Yip's consortium has developed three derivative models of Phoenix skeletons, and I will send them to you in two days. Oh yes, and the power armor that you borrowed when you went to South Sixteen District to find someone last time." , now it has been finalized and put into production, and I also specially entrusted the production department to reserve a few sets of customized models for you..."

"You don't get rewarded for nothing, Young Master Ye, just tell me, what's your business with us." Ke Lan said bluntly.

"Uh... Well, I got some news here... You guys, have you just returned from the Molten Mine?"

"Yes."

"Have you made a big discovery in the mining area?"

"Yes."

"I heard that the harvest this time is amazing?"

"That's right, it's all on the news headlines..." Ke Lan laughed, "Young Master Ye, don't try it out, you called here just because of the 'Yagunaktor' matter."

Ke Lan simply let go of the fingers covering the phone camera, and walked quickly to the edge of the huge pit.

He slowly turned the angle of the camera, and scanned the entire stone wall, and those intricate and incomparable crystal structure structures flowing with various lights were all included in the video - although Ye Yan didn't make a sound, Ke Lan, however, could hear his breathing visibly becoming heavier.

"Brothers Ke, Ke Lan, this... this, this... is this the interior of that ancient battleship 'Yagunaktor'?" Ye Yan swallowed a big mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, and said with some stuttering , "Listen, I heard that this warship was built by a civilization higher than the Alpha civilization, is this true?"

"Oh, it seems that Young Master Ye has obtained a lot of information." Ke Lan took back the phone, "Yes, what you just saw was the central engine in the power room of 'Yagunaktor', but as for this battleship Whether it was built by the third civilization or not, I don’t care, and I can’t come to a conclusion until it is appraised by professionals.”

"My God... When I first got this news, I couldn't believe it... I didn't expect it to be true..." Ye Yan murmured, "How did you get this battleship out?"

"Young Master Ye, do you think it sounds absurd for relic hunters like us who only pick up trash in the ruins to be associated with this magnificent ancient warship?" Ke Lan teased.

"No, no, what is a relic hunter who can only pick up garbage? I have always thought that the profession of relic hunter is very awesome and cool. In addition, brother Ke Lan, you are my savior. How could I say that about you. I have always been optimistic about you and your Hunting God Hunting Group, I know that you will be able to do a great job... But, but..." Ye Yan swallowed again, and the order of words seemed a little confused, "But What I didn't expect was...this career...is too big...it's really...a bit big...it's completely beyond my imagination."

"Yeah, it's [-] million points bigger, [-] million points." Ke Lan nodded.

"Ah, let's not talk about this, I came to you this time because I actually got news-the United Parliamentary Group decided to open this battleship as the No. 19 S-class relic... But this opening is not open to all organizations and It is open to individuals, but you can only participate in the exploration and development of this 'relic' with the permission of the person in charge." Ye Yan rubbed his hands nervously, "I heard that you are the one, Brother Ke Lan... principal?"

"Who did you listen to?" Ke Lan glanced at the nervous and expectant look on the little fat man's face, not feeling a little funny in his heart, and teased.

"...Ah, well, I can't tell where the news came from, but I can only guarantee that the news is reliable." Ye Yan said with a look of embarrassment.

"Since you know the news is reliable, why do you still ask me?" Ke Lan narrowed his eyes, "Ask the person who gave you the news."

"No... Brother Ke Lan, you misunderstood me... You also know that I have no skills, and I have no access to the core power of the family... In fact, the person who received the news was my father. The reason why I knew These things are entirely because I have a good personal relationship with you, so the family decided to send me to find you." As he spoke, Ye Yan suddenly changed his style, "But there is one thing I can promise, and the family has given me Within the scope of my authority, I will try my best to help Brother Ke Lan get as many benefits as possible. Brother Ke Lan, if you have any requests, feel free to ask... Even if it is outside my authority, I will reflect it For the elders and the board of directors, as long as our Ye family can satisfy, I think my father and the others will not refuse."

"Tsk, you guy, you have never learned how to negotiate with people." Ke Lan laughed, "How can someone quote all their reserve prices as soon as they come up, so how can you bargain with me afterwards? "

"It's not that I don't want to bargain, it's that there is no room for bargaining at all..." Ke Lan always felt that Ye Yan was about to cry, "Not only our Ye family, but other big families and big consortia have also received the news , They are looking for your contact information all over the world—did you know that now in the reception room of your hunting group headquarters, there are at least a dozen high-level characters from different forces waiting, even the door is full of people waiting, as for Your fiancée, Miss Soma, has been harassed to the point of turning off all communication devices, and I can't even get through the private number."

Ye Yan paused, and continued with a bitter face: "Brother Ke Lan, this is not a reciprocal negotiation at all, but a big panic sale on Black Friday—you have it fast, but you don't have it! If those people also They are all the same as me, if you have your private number in your hand, your phone will probably be blown up."

"Be obedient!" Layton on the side suddenly exclaimed, "I just checked the business mailbox of our hunting group, and there were only a few advertising emails last night, and now there are 2000 unread emails, of which Many of them are still VIP emails with the marks of those top consortiums!"

"There are 2000 emails because the mailbox can only temporarily store [-] unread emails. After you process the previous emails, more emails will come in later..." Ye Yan also heard Layton With a bitter voice, he said with a wry smile, "Brother Ke Lan, now you know how hot you are?"

"Is the exploration and development authority of 'Yagunaktor' really that important?" Ke Lan asked, "In fact, if there are any important discoveries, they will usually be sent to the research institute first, and wait until the research institute cracks them. After that, can’t you just buy it from the research institute?”

"Well, by that time, you will really be able to eat shit and not keep up with the hot ones... To tell you the truth, in fact, the development of our new body of Ye's has been in trouble, and several technologies have encountered bottlenecks. The Phoenix Skeleton Its development cost is [-] times that of the previous generation main frame, but its performance has only been improved by less than [-]%, which is the result of using a lot of experimental technologies..."

"That's true." Layton interjected, "There are many innovations on the Phoenix skeleton, and I don't think it's necessary. It's not that you are superimposing, but that the stability of those new technologies is too poor, just to pursue that little point." It’s not a good deal at all to improve the performance of the son, but to greatly increase the instability of the body.”

"We can't do anything about it. We have almost bought out all the new technologies cracked by the research institute. I'm afraid there won't be much breakthrough in the past few years. As for competitors such as Anaheim, they It is impossible to sell the new technology developed to us... In recent years, our Ye's market share has actually been declining, so the board of directors is so anxious."

"It's good, healthy competition, breaking the monopoly, and benefiting consumers." Ke Lan joked again, "If the mecha market is monopolized by you, the Ye family, the price will probably double."

"Hey, Brother Ke Lan, stop joking... This ancient warship is a rare opportunity for us and all financial groups. Whoever seizes the opportunity will be able to win in the future. Control the right to speak in technological competition... Among other things, the three halos on the tail of the ancient battleship alone are probably a kind of levitation technology that is completely different from the concept of anti-gravity devices... If this thing can be miniaturized and applied to battleships And on the mecha...the performance improvement is unimaginable. There is also a weapon that can directly cause damage to living organisms and can also distinguish between friend and foe. God, I can't even imagine how it works ..."

Seeing Ye Yan's spittle fly with excitement, Ke Lan couldn't help but think in his heart, if I let you know that this battleship has a star destroyer and a jump device, wouldn't you just faint?

"Well, I have a question... What we need now is a partner to explore the relics. In other words, what we need are relic hunters, but I remember that there doesn't seem to be a hunting group under your Ye's consortium?"
