Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 627 Crystal Bomb
"Plasma cannon?" Ivan showed a trace of hesitation on his face, "Using it in such a narrow space, we will all be evaporated by the heat released by the plasma, right?"

"I thought this would work." Layton said, "Let Xiao Zeluo gather those bugs together, and 'Lucifer' uses the minimum power plasma cannon to strike accurately. As for the waste heat that escapes, Augustus's The energy shield should absorb it all."

"Just do what Lao Lei said." Ke Lan made a decision.

Ze Luo repeated the same trick, gathering the scattered black beetles together again with invisible barriers, and then "kneaded" them into a solid black ball.Layton manipulated Augustus to stand in front of everyone, and the energy shield was deployed at full power, covering the entire minecart.

A simple, pitch-black cannon barrel protruded from the head of the Blasphemer Mech, aiming at the solid sphere suspended in mid-air.

"The plasma-charged artillery is ready to fire at any time," Valentina said.

"Fire directly." As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, a ball of white plasma spit out from the gun's muzzle—the flying speed of the plasma didn't seem to be fast, but in an instant it was "sticky" to the black ball Together, an indescribable scorching smell wrapped in a terrifying heat wave continued to spread to the surroundings, and even the rock wall of this section of the tunnel was melted into red magma, which flowed down.

Although Augustus's energy shield has absorbed most of the heat radiation in this direction, the residual heat dissipated through the shield is still terrifying. Ivan, 33 and Asano Akira did not wear it. The face of the person in the heat shield was burnt red, and the tips of his hair were curled up under the high temperature, exuding a unique smell of scorched protein.

As for the metal frame of the mine cart, it is so hot that it can be directly used as a teppanyaki cooker.Fortunately, the soles of the boots under everyone's feet are made of special rubber, which has not been melted by the high temperature yet.

The energy of the plasma was released for more than ten seconds before it was exhausted—even though this was already the lowest level of power of the plasma-charged cannon, the surrounding rock formations were still vitrified, and the energy of Augustus The shield was also directly scrapped due to severe overload.Fortunately, this machine body is also equipped with two spare shield generators, and the impact of scrapping one is not too great.

Ke Lan and Ze Luo had their own means to protect themselves, and they were not harmed. Valentina and Layton sitting in the cockpit of the mecha were naturally unscathed, but Asano Akira and the others were in a worse situation. , not only part of the exposed skin was burnt, but also the hair on the head was burnt off, and three shiny bald heads suddenly appeared in the crowd.

While Ivan was treating the burns of the three of them, Ke Lan stepped forward and looked at the residue in the glass pit—the original black solid ball now only had some powdery ashes left. Ke Lan just walked A few steps closer, a gust of scorching air rushes toward his face... Even though there are only a few ashes, the residual temperature inside these ashes is still as high as thousands of degrees.

"The signs of life in these things have completely disappeared." Ze Luo followed and said to Ke Lan, "It's dead."

"Yeah." Ke Lan nodded, turned around and turned back to the mine cart.

Although under the protection of the energy shield, the mine car itself is not in any serious trouble, but the steel rails on the ground have already melted into molten steel and mixed with the vitrified tunnel section.

Ke Lan thought for a while, and simply let the blasphemer mecha carry the mine cart forward—anyway, with the power of this thing, even if a few tons of weight are added, the speed will not be affected at all.

Compared to before, the advancing speed of the team was actually much faster. Valentina even had to stop to wait for Layton and Augustus who fell behind.

"Fuck, what kind of engine does this thing use?" Layton complained from the team channel, "It's okay to be fast, and the agility and braking performance are all blown away by Augustus... ..."

There was a sour taste in his words... Originally, Layton was still happy to be the pilot of Augustus, but in comparison with the two, he suddenly felt that the so-called "high-end custom machine" he was driving was not good enough. It’s so fragrant—it’s still the same old saying: “Comparing people, you’ll die, and goods, you’ll throw them away.”

"Of course the technology of the Alpha Civilization is incomparable. Although the materials used and the equipment equipped by Augustus are not inferior... not worse than this 'Lucifer', the core technology still uses the frame of the human mecha, just It’s the same as running a race, you don’t lose at the starting line, but they are waiting for you at the finish line from the very beginning.” Ke Lan said.

"Hey... That's true, even if Augustus has the same performance, without a control system directly connected to the human body's nerves, it would be difficult to control it with human reflexes... For example, the [-]-degree corner just now , if I did it by hand, I’m afraid I’d hit it directly.” Layton sighed, “By the way, isn’t the model of this thing called ‘Fallen Angel No. [-]: Lucifer’? Is there more than one Fallen Angel? Since there is Unit No. [-], maybe there are Units No. [-] and No. [-]?"

After being told by Layton, Ke Lan also fell into deep thought—obviously, for the Alpha civilization, the Blasphemer Mecha is nothing more than a mass-produced weapon, and there are currently two known Blasphemers , One was abandoned by himself in the abyss of the bottomless sinkhole, and the other was delivered to Valentina by the Undead Crew.And judging from the name given to it by the undead crew as "Unit One", they might really still have several Blasphemer mechs hidden.

Ke Lan has always known that the Undead Crew Club has a strong family background. Even if they pull out a combat formation composed entirely of blasphemer mechs, he will not be surprised at all.

The only thing he cared about was the "annihilation bomb" that was carried on the first Blasphemer mecha back then.

Of course, the blasphemer mech he abandoned was not armed, not to mention the "annihilation bomb", and even the basic "heavy armor-piercing sword" and "plasma-charged artillery" were dismantled. The weapons that Lan can see are all simulated through the so-called "trial program" - although it is a simulation, it also directly proves that this weapon has the ability to carry and release "annihilation bombs" of.

Judging from the task description of the trial program, the power of that thing is probably even higher than that of the death beam cannon-a "annihilation bomb" is enough to destroy creatures like the "Crown of Ashes" that are comparable to the prehistoric species. Alpha Civilization hunted Leviathan, but it took nearly 1 minute to kill it with more than a dozen dead beam cannons...

No, more than 1 minutes. The "video" Ke Lan saw at that time was fast-forwarded, and the 1 minutes in it was enough to be equivalent to a week under normal time flow.

Even if the "annihilation bomb" does not belong to the "star-killing" weapon, it almost meets the threshold of "star-killing".

If the undead crew really had this thing, perhaps with one shot, the ruins of the Bronze City could be razed to the ground.

Just when Ke Lan was thinking about these things, a shock stronger than any previous one came, and the whole tunnel began to shake violently with the rock formations, and exaggerated cracks instantly covered the cave walls, large and large A piece of broken rock fell down and instantly buried Augustus who was following behind.

Valentina's Blasphemer mech pushed forward nearly a hundred meters against the collapsed rocks, but was finally blocked by the completely collapsed tunnel.

"What's the situation..." Layton's communication was mixed with the sound of electric current coming from the headset, "This vibration... is even more exaggerated than the one in the Molten Mine!"

The "that time" that Layton said naturally refers to the large earthquake in the molten mine area caused by the "Yagunaktor" falling into the magma pool from a high altitude. That earthquake almost completely destroyed the entire surface of the mining area. Even the mining base in the mining area also suffered.

"According to the sensors, the direction of the earthquake is at the same height as before, and it came from the frontal battlefield of the Bronze City ruins." Valentina said while manipulating the Blasphemer Mech to dig in the rubble.

"This movement... are they really feigning an attack?" Layton yelled, "Could it be that they really threw a big Ivan at the Bronze City?"

"Is there a hydrogen bomb of the level of Big Ivan on the Ark?" Ivan couldn't help asking.

"According to the official information, there should be none. The only thing that can reach that magnitude is the power source of the Ark itself... Bundling the dozens of main reactors and thousands of secondary reactors together, It should be able to achieve the power of Big Ivan's original explosion." Layton said, "But who knows if the people above will secretly create a few Big Ivan without telling the public... Although this kind of thing can only be used to deal with Other than prehistoric creatures, they are useless on Alpha Planet...Damn it, I wonder if there are really a few Big Ivans in a secret arsenal of the Ark."

"But if you use Big Ivan on the frontal battlefield, your troops will also be affected by the nuclear explosion, right?" 33 continued, "Unless all the hundreds of thousands of people retreat to the south of the White Ridge Mountains, otherwise all If the big Ivan goes down, the main force of the field troops may also be wiped out."

"Then is there anything else that can have such an exaggerated power besides Big Ivan!" Layton said while digging through the tunnel and reunited with Ke Lan and the others, "Wait... I remembered something thing."

"What?" 33 and Ivan asked in unison.

"Crystal Energy Bomb!" Layton said confidently, "It must be this thing! Only this thing can increase its power to the limit under the condition of precise control of the explosion range. Ke Lan, do you still remember Yagu?" Are those crystalline lava beetles in the power room of Naktor? Those things are actually equivalent to small crystal energy bombs. One or two of these things are not very powerful, but if hundreds or thousands of crystal energy bombs are stacked Together, the 'resonance' triggered can even surpass the power that the great Ivan erupts in an instant!"

"The crystal energy bombs are all used... Could it be that they have already broken into the ancient bronze city ruins?" Ivan stretched out his hand, and subconsciously touched the hair on his head that no longer existed, "Or, did they attack the city from the beginning?" Encountered extremely strong resistance, so I had to play such a hole card?"

"Layton, can you get in touch with the main force?" Ke Lan asked.

If it is impossible to control the progress of the main force's "fake attack", Ke Lan's infiltration operations will become very dangerous. If they cannot advance synchronously with the frontal battlefield, the special operations team will become a lone army—they will What they will face will be...all the enemies in the entire ruins.

"I can't get in touch at all, the interference is too strong." Layton said angrily, "The signal was very weak at first, but now coupled with the interference caused by the explosion of the crystal energy bomb, the communication is completely interrupted. Now I can only barely Maintain communications with the troops at the mine base."

"Ask them, can they contact the frontal battlefield?"

"I just asked, and they said that the communication between the frontal battlefield and the mine base was interrupted 2 minutes ago, but judging from the last communication, the frontal troops may not be able to approach the ancient copper city ruins." Layton hastened Speeding up the speech, "It is said that the main force encountered a huge obstacle during the attack - under the plain in front of the ruins of the ancient bronze city, there was an extremely huge erosion seed buried, and they fell into a bitter fight with this erosion seed, The propulsion rate is almost zero."

"So it seems that the movement just now is to deal with the giant erosion seed?" 33 said, "Even the prehistoric species cannot withstand an explosion of this magnitude."

"It's hard to say." Ke Lan shook his head and continued to ask, "Old Lei, how long will it take for the communication to resume?"

"Conservatively estimate ten to 15 minutes... I can't say for sure, because the application of such a large-scale crystal energy bomb has never appeared in simulation experiments or actual combat. It is difficult to solve the problem of how long the interference will last through a linear formula. Come to calculate..." Layton said with some difficulty, "It is not impossible to even last for half an hour..."

"Then let's slow down the speed of advance first, just as the tunnel collapsed, just keep the current excavation efficiency." Ke Lan said, "Wait until the communication with the main force is restored, and then decide on the next action plan."

……

……

North of the White Ridge Mountains, facing the battlefield.

The hundreds of meters thick rock formation was almost completely lifted away, revealing the body of the underground erosion that looked like a mountain of meat.Countless wriggling tentacles are entangled with each other, and the wounds torn by crystal energy bombs on the surface of the tentacles bite and melt into each other... Dozens of "slightly smaller" tentacles merged into a giant tentacles with an astonishing size in a short while.Immediately afterwards, the giant tentacles also began to merge - until the end, there were only less than twenty of the hundreds of thousands of tentacles left on this seed of erosion, but the length of each of these twenty tentacles It is enough to wrap around the main peak of the White Ridge Mountains.

One of these tentacles suddenly raised high, and then slammed down towards the armored troops assembled ten kilometers away——

In the eyes of these soldiers, the sky darkened instantly, and an indescribable sense of fear suddenly emerged... But the fear had not yet fully occupied their minds, and they didn't even have time to see the huge black shadow clearly What is it, death comes first from the top of the head—this tentacle is like a toppled mountain peak, smashing these soldiers and thousands of armored vehicles into pieces in an instant!
With this attack range, they cannot avoid it at all!
