Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 681 Canned Inscription
Sodium chloride was smeared, and then the incised chest and abdomen cavity of the corpse was tied up with bandages and stuffed into a body bag. The entire dissection process was basically completed.

The person in charge of carrying the body bag was Collins. As soon as he swung the body bag on his back, Ke Lan discovered that the corpse of this humanoid monster was really light—although a lot of blood was lost during the autopsy, but Including the weight of the body bag, it is less than 160 kilograms... You know, the height of this humanoid monster is close to [-] centimeters.

With a height of 160 centimeters and a weight of [-] to [-] kilograms... Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the photos of anorexic patients he had seen on the Internet.

But the problem is... There are a lot of undigested food residues in the digestive system of this humanoid monster. From a certain point of view, "it" is not short of food, so why did it become such a skeleton-like creature? What does it look like?
But if you want to get the answer, you must conduct a detailed examination of this corpse... Only the research or medical institutions on the Ark have such conditions, but Ke Lan also knows that the 776 special team bought a one-way ticket for this mission .

They can't come back, and this corpse sample can never be brought back to the ark.

The 776 special team began to move forward.

The rotunda is connected to three narrow corridors, and the other end of the corridor is also a similar rotunda. Many rotundas are connected together, and one after another hexagonal "grid" forms a honeycomb network... …This structure can't help but remind people of the structure diagram of graphene.

(Note: Graphene is an "extremely thin" graphite sheet with only one layer of carbon atoms, and the structure of carbon atoms is arranged in a honeycomb shape on the horizontal plane.)
Martin held a tablet in his hand, and whenever he found a new rotunda, he would use drawing software to draw it. Soon, a map like a honeycomb appeared on the screen.

"It's a bit strange..." Gino glanced at the "map" shared by Martin on the team channel, and said, "These halls arranged in a honeycomb structure are very empty, except for the humanoid monster we encountered earlier, let alone There are no living things, not even dead things. The walls, floors and ceilings are all smooth and smooth, and there are no extra devices, equipment and mechanisms, don't you think it's strange?"

"Yeah, it's space, and there's no garbage on the ground." Connelly continued, "In this way, we can't even judge the function of these halls..."

"I do have a rough guess about the function of these halls." Kino added, "If the ruins are really an 'engine', then the 'crater' on the top of the cone should be the engine's injection port. , and these honeycomb halls we are in now are located right at the outer edge of the jet... plus the metal walls of these halls are tightly stitched without any gaps or holes, I doubt that the function of these halls is to cool It is cooled by an agent...like those copper cooling pipes exposed in the engine of an off-road vehicle."

"According to you... have we been spinning in the cooling tank for our feelings?" Connelly said with some helplessness.

"Even if it is a cooling tank, there must be a diversion port and an inspection port." Jino said, "The crack we just entered should be an inspection port."

"If your guess is correct," said Sergeant Ken, "the access port will only be set on the outer edge of the cooling tank, we just need to go along the edge."

"Ah."

……

The members of the 776 special team finally found the second exit after going around the outer edge of the ruins for half a circle.

This exit was blocked by a heavy airtight door. After opening the airtight door, a downward step appeared in front of the 776 special team.

The few people walking in front looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in each other's eyes - although there was a high probability of unknown dangers below, it was better than walking through the same cooling tank network all the time.

"Be careful, the stairs are very steep, go down one by one." Sergeant Ken said, and patted Martin on the shoulder, "You are the first."

"Oh..." Martin nodded reluctantly, picked up his gun, and walked slowly step by step, relying on the tactical flashlight on the leather rail and the searchlight on the shoulder of Samuel's fearless warrior behind him.

The width of the steps is about [-] meters, and there are hard and cold iron walls on both sides. In order to have enough room to react in case of emergencies, the whole team was pulled into a long snake array, one after another. Go down the steps.

"Martin, can you see the end of the steps?" Sergeant Ken asked over the comm channel.

"I can't see it... Visibility is very poor. Even Samuel's searchlight can only find a distance of about 100 meters ahead... But there seems to be something on the steps about 30 meters away from me." Martin replied .

"What is it?"

"I can't see clearly... it looks like... a land mine?" Martin said with some uncertainty.

"Mines?" Sergeant Ken froze for a moment, "Everyone, stop going."

"Kino, send a drone to check the situation." Sergeant Ken ordered again.

Although landmines are a vocabulary invented by humans, similar weapons also exist in the Alpha civilization—the landmines of the Alpha civilization are not only more powerful, but also have a wider range of damage, and their concealment and sensitivity are not made by humans. Mine can compare.

There used to be a mobile force of about 200 people, and the group was wiped out because it accidentally touched a place buried in the valley-the power of that "mine" was no less than the tactical level of the Ark army. Nuclear warheads are gone.

The drone was released, with a small "buzzing" sound, and flew directly above what Martin called the "landmine".

Gino stared at the screen of the manipulator for a long time, and then said in a strange tone: "Boss... that thing doesn't seem to be a landmine."

"what is that……"

"I feel...like a can," Gino replied.

"Canned food?" Including Ke Lan, everyone couldn't help recalling the food scraps found in the stomach of the humanoid monster...

"Bring this thing back," Sergeant Ken ordered.

A mechanical arm protruded from the bottom of the drone, caught the suspected "can" and flew back.

This is indeed a can, and the material should be some kind of alloy with aluminum as the main component. The easy-open lid on the top is gone, and there are still some grease and finely minced meat inside the can.

But what everyone cares about the most is the bottom of the can.

There is a line of inscriptions there, which are rolled out with steel stamps.

It's not those alpha characters like ghost symbols, but a string of...

Arabic numerals.
