Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 61 Snakes Without Heads
The propeller power of the transport ship was directly turned to the maximum, and the altitude began to slowly climb with the deafening roar of the engine.

"Watch out for the tightrope!!"

The six steel cables connected to the harpoon suddenly stretched straight, and the huge force from above made the bracket and keel rattle. Fortunately, this force is evenly distributed by the six keels, so there is no need to worry about the keel being pulled. risk of breaking.

As for the steel cable itself, although it looks only as thick as an adult man's thumb, its strength is far above the keel of a transport ship.Each cable is twisted by four strands of steel wire rope, and each strand of steel wire rope contains twelve steel wires with a diameter of less than one millimeter. %70.00 Nino alloy "special ultra-high-tensile steel", this material is also called "No. 75 Nino steel" by the engineers on the ark. Excellent toughness and ductility, and the fatigue resistance of the metal itself is also top-notch.

The core of each wire rope is made of the same ultra-high-strength man-made polymer - "UR" polyurethane rubber, and the four wire ropes are filled with viscous silica-alumina gel to ensure that the four wire ropes can maximize the Uniform stress reduces the possibility of breakage.

"Tell the Pioneer to focus on the deep-sea giant eel that was pulled out of the sea by the harpoon! Don't save ammunition!" Ke Lan ordered again.

In fact, needless to say, when the "NO.14" giant deep-sea eel was lifted into the air, all the weapons on the Pioneer had already entered the full-fire mode-limited by the shooting angle, Many weapons on the deck and bridge cannot attack the sea around the hull, but if it is replaced by an air target, the situation is completely different...

35mm caliber armor-piercing cannon, 1130mm caliber "Spike" rapid-fire railgun, "Purgatory" heavy flamethrower, [-] close-in anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft cluster rockets... The ammunition of these weapons poured out like free money , no matter how high the physical defense of the deep-sea giant eel was, it was beaten into minced meat almost instantly, and several tens of meters long bodies were broken, and they fell into the sea water one after another.

"Huh..." Seeing the success of the plan, Ke Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground leaning on the harpoon cannon's bracket, while Leighton and Hound slapped their hands in succession. He laughed wildly. As for Zorigetu, the Mongolian man simply fainted again.

"He... is he all right?" Natasha, who had been following behind the crowd and had not spoken much, pointed to the fainted Zorigtu and asked worriedly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, it's mainly the side effects of the muscle strengthening agent..." Ke Lan shook his head tiredly, propped his right hand on the ground, and stood up.

He walked behind Zorigtu and took down the mechanical exoskeleton that was almost scrapped in a rather violent way.

"Layton, stop yelling, come and help." Ke Lan said.

"Okay—hey, when did this guy pass out? I didn't notice it just now..." Layton said as he hugged Zorigtu from the stand.

"I fainted just now before you fired the cannon, but he didn't let go of his hand at all..." Ke Lan struggled to break Zorigetu's fingers off the cannon barrel's lifting ring one by one. .

"It's a guy—" Layton nodded in agreement.

At this time, the escort captain suddenly shouted: "Retreat! Those deep-sea giant eels have really retreated!"

Ke Lan lowered his head and looked towards the observation window on the floor, only to see that some of the remaining deep-sea giant eels dived into the deep sea without looking back after "NO. After launching a few fruitless attacks on the Pioneer, they scattered and fled towards the surroundings.

What's more, they turned out to be biting and attacking each other...

Only a very small number of giant deep-sea eels were still carrying out the instructions of No. 14 during their lifetime, colliding with the Pioneer without fear of death, but soon, they were wiped out by the defensive weapons on the Pioneer.

Sure enough, this "NO.14" is the commander of these giant deep-sea eels, and the order to besiege the Pioneer was sent from it. There is no threat at all.

"Damn, it actually succeeded--" The Hound touched Ke Lan with his elbow with some emotion, "I thought you were just talking big at first."

"I'm not going to brag about my brothers' wives. If we lose, we're going to drink the Northwest Wind." Ke Lan gasped and forced a smile.

"Confirm that the threat has been lifted... uh, are you carrying out the original mission?" The voice of the transport ship captain came from the loudspeaker again.

"Why are you asking me about this... Oh, I forgot that I am the commander of this transport ship now..." Ke Lan scratched his head, "Perform the original mission, descend the altitude, and prepare to dock with the Pioneer. Oh yes, let them prepare the infirmary on the ship, we have a wounded here."

"The Pioneer has passed our request, waiting for the deck to clear before docking - except, they said there were too many wounded, and the infirmary was running out of beds... well, they also said that even outside the infirmary The corridor is full of people." The captain said cautiously, as if he was afraid of angering Ke Lan.

"...Forget it, let them prepare a clean cabin." Ke Lan waved his hand. Compared with the wounded on the ship, Zorigtu's condition was not serious. And the side effects of drugs, you can get better with a good night's sleep.

"And..." the captain continued. "The captain of the Pioneer said he wanted to meet you, and he said he would send someone to pick you up on deck..."

"See me? Are you sure you're right?" Ke Lan was slightly stunned.

"The other party's original words are the makers and executors of the rescue operation just now... I think, in addition to you, your companions should be included..."

Ke Lan glanced at Benson, who was sitting in the corner with a gloomy expression and said nothing, nodded to the camera, and said, "Got it, I'll be there."

The transport ship of the Aurora Consortium slowly descended to a height almost flush with the sea surface, sailing side by side with the Pioneer icebreaker. At the same time, the docking mechanisms on the sides of the two ships engaged with each other, the doors of the eight cargo compartments opened at the same time, and a box of A box of supplies was transported to the deck of the Frontier through a conveyor belt.

The person who greeted Ke Lan was a tall young woman. She had wheat-colored skin and short ear-length hair. She had not completely taken off her blood-stained power armor. It was obviously the battle just now. front-line staff.

The white heat continued to rise from the open neckline of the power armor. She shrank her shoulders, took one arm out of the armor, and smeared twice on the cushion on the inside of the armor, then walked towards the front. Ke Lan stretched out.

"Hello, I'm the first mate of the Pioneer icebreaker, Caroline, what's your name?"

The first mate on the Frontier was actually such a young woman?Moreover, he was still wearing power armor to fight in the front line, which made Ke Lan a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he held Caroline's outstretched hand.

"Cola."

"Mr. Ke? It's an uncommon Chinese surname." Caroline smiled, "Thank you very much and your team for the rescue of the pioneer, the captain is waiting for you in the captain's room, please follow me Come."
