Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 57
"Why should I kill all the deep-sea giant eels?" Who knows, Ke Lan suddenly said such a sentence.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Probably Ke Lan's remarks were so outrageous that Benson even forgot to taunt, and his hand holding the lighter froze in the air.

"Yeah... Ke Lan, this... the shells aren't enough..." Leighton also whispered, "Even if... even if we hit very accurately, every shot would hit... That's for the pioneers. In terms of circumstances, it's just a drop in the bucket."

"Actually, we only need to hit once." Ke Lan pointed to the observation window under his feet, "Didn't you find that there is a deep-sea giant eel that has not attacked the Pioneer?"

"What?" Benson frowned and looked puzzled... let alone him, even Layton and others were also confused.

"Does this transport ship have combat assistance programs?" Ke Lan asked Benson.

Although the transport ship itself is not armed, the combat auxiliary program, as a necessary program for the core computer installation of the airship, will be installed in all likelihood.

In addition to automatically searching for enemies, automatically marking and helping the fire control system to lock the target, this kind of program also has the functions of auxiliary take-off and landing and route correction... This thing is like an auxiliary plug-in installed when playing online games, with its Help, even a rookie helmsman who has just graduated from school, can drive the empty ship in a good manner.

"Yes... what are you doing?!" The suspicious look on Benson's face became heavier.

"Let the captain start the combat assistance program on the battlefield below, and mark each deep-sea giant eel independently and track the whole process, and then project the screen after the computer analysis to the bottom observation window, you can understand what I mean. Yes." Collan said.

"...do as he says."

Soon, the observation window under everyone's feet became a projection screen divided by countless auxiliary lines. Every deep-sea giant eel that appeared in the field of vision was marked with a unique mark. The shape and characteristics of the marked deep-sea giant eel are recorded. Even if it dives into the water the next second, as long as it returns to the field of vision, the mark will always exist.

"Pay attention to the giant deep-sea eel marked 'NO.14'." Ke Lan tapped the projection a few times with his right hand, and the giant deep-sea eel marked with "14" was immediately drawn with a deep shadow. Red dynamic border.

"The size of this deep-sea giant eel is neither the largest nor the smallest. It doesn't have any special obvious features. It is very inconspicuous, and it will dive into the water from time to time." Ke Lan said, and shot the camera above his head. Finger snaps, "Please calculate its trajectory."

He stretched out his hands and pushed inwards on both sides of the projection, and the entire picture was suddenly doubled in size. In this way, the actual sea area in the field of vision was doubled. At the same time, the No.14 The trajectory of the deep-sea giant eel was also marked by the computer with a fluorescent dotted line.

"Most of our attention was focused on the Pioneer icebreaker and around the icebreaker, so we didn't notice this cunning guy, but now that its trajectory has been marked, you should have found the problem too. Bar?"

"This 'NO.14'... has been wandering around the edge of the battlefield, and has never participated in the attack on the Pioneer, whether it is a close-up collision or a spit arc... Strange, this guy seems to..." Layton said with a look of surprise.

"Like a bastard paddling." The Hound picked up what Layton had not finished.

"But there is one more thing I don't know if you have noticed... Although this NO.14 has been paddling, whenever it moves to one side of the icebreaker, the attack frequency of the giant deep-sea eel on that side will be greatly increased , and the accuracy of the arc attack will also increase significantly—pause, pull the screen forward four seconds, no, four and a half seconds—and then play at [-] times the speed.”

Ke Lan waved his hand again, magnified the picture on the port side of the Pioneer icebreaker several times, and said, "Pay attention to this 'No. 14' deep-sea giant eel. Before NO. Both times it missed, and only the third time it was lucky to catch an unlucky crew member—but when NO.14 passed by it, it suddenly changed its attack target, directly facing the anti-aircraft aircraft on the bridge The gun fired and the regiment wiped out the cannon team."

"Of course, there is a certain contingency in this situation, but when this 'accidental event' occurs many times, do you still think it is an accident?" Ke Lan looked directly at Benson and asked in a deep voice.

"...You mean, this NO.14 is the commander of this group of monsters, right?" Benson would not be an idiot if he could become the captain of an advance team. Now that I have said this, the meaning of it is really incomprehensible.

"To capture the thief first, everyone must understand this principle." Ke Lan kicked the box containing the harpoon shells beside him, "As long as we can hit No.14, the pressure on the Pioneer will be much less. There is a high chance of persevering until the rescue of the Ark."

The Pioneer did not only send a distress signal to their transport ship, but they were the closest to here. As for the rescue team on the Ark, it would take at least a few hours to arrive. By then, I am afraid that the pioneers It has already sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"Then how can you be sure that getting rid of this No.14 will have an effect? ​​Couldn't there be a new leader among these monsters?" Benson said a little unconvinced.

"There is indeed such a possibility." Ke Lan nodded.

"Hmph, after all, you're just gambling."

"Then if you don't gamble, do you have a better way?" Ke Lan asked rhetorically.

Benson was at a loss for words, gritted his teeth and stared at Ke Lan for a few seconds before slowly saying: "I really don't have a better way, but do you think you can hit that monster with this harpoon cannon? ?"

"That's our own business, and you don't need to worry about it."

"Don't forget that you are on the transport ship of the Aurora Consortium!"

"If you are in the position of your consortium, your senior management must also hope to save the pioneer ship... But what makes me a little puzzled is why, Captain Benson, you seem to want to see the pioneer ship sink. Could it be..."

Ke Lan did not continue, but deliberately looked at Benson with a suspicious look.

"Ke Lan, this hat is downright murderous." The Hound whispered from the side.

"Of course I hope the Pioneer can escape!" Benson said hurriedly, "I just doubt the abilities and motives of your group of people, there's nothing wrong with that!"
