Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 697 The Tower of Babel

"Actually, I don't understand..." Aya held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and said in a low voice, "You are already a member of the Undead Crew, why do you have to end this kind of thing yourself? People like that, behind the scenes..."

"It's just that I can't be idle." Ke Lan shrugged, "Compared with dealing with piles of documents in the office, I think this kind of work is more suitable for me."

Of course, Ke Lan would not tell her that he wanted to investigate things related to the Alpha civilization and that "god", but the Undead Crew Club had already told him clearly: the more you know, the more dangerous the situation will be.

The Holy Word is not free. In terms of the degree of "corrosion", Ke Lan is the most serious among the existing members of the Undead Crew... none of them.

Aphrodite has even reached this point—"Your current situation may change into the appearance of the previous 'Chiron' at any time."

It took Ke Lan at least a day to shake the rotting meat mountain out of his mind... Before he was sure of the authenticity of the information, he could only choose to compromise.

"According to the collected information, in the front-end time, there are a total of six companies that have acquired relic loot - 'Red Track Firm', 'Grips Recycling Company', 'TR Recycling Company', 'New Star Chamber of Commerce' , 'Flying Shuttle Material Trade' and 'Flying Shuttle Relics Office'...the last three companies belong to an organization called 'Babel Tower'."

"Tower of Babel?"

Ke Lan is no stranger to this name. The name of the Tower of Babel comes from the religious classics of the old era, the "Bible Old Testament", which describes that human beings built a tower reaching the sky in Babylon in order to reach heaven... But this incident was After God knew it, God was offended at first, and then he was amazed at the power that human beings can exert when they unite as one... This power disturbed God, so God decided to change the language of human beings so that humans from different regions could not communicate. communicate.

As a result, various conflicts and confusions broke out among humans who did not understand the language, and the construction of the Tower of Babel was forced to stop for this reason.

But on Planet Alpha, there is also a relic named "Babel Tower".

"Remnant B-081 'Tower of Babel'."

The reason why it is called the "Tower of Babel" is because this relic is a real "Tower of Babel".

This is an orbital accelerator built by the Alpha civilization, also known as the "space elevator".The height of this relic extends beyond the atmosphere of Star Alpha. With the help of this accelerator, the Alpha Civilization can send spacecraft and various materials into the low-earth orbit of Star Alpha with minimal consumption. It is the same as the subway that can be seen everywhere on the earth in the old era.

It's just that when the Ark discovered Alpha Star, this "space elevator" was already destroyed, leaving only half of the pedestal about ten kilometers high, standing on the equator of Alpha Star.

The B-081 relic "Babel Tower" has always been well-known in the hunter circle, and the reason is very simple-this relic is very "fat".

Before the Alpha civilization disappeared, it seemed that there was a large-scale space immigration plan, but this plan had not been implemented, or only half of it was implemented, and the entire civilization disappeared from this planet strangely.In this space elevator, there are still a large number of Alpha spacecraft that have not been launched, as well as a large amount of reserve resources.

According to the Alpha man who stayed behind in the "No. 92 engine wreckage", the main reason for the disappearance of Alpha civilization is "paradox", and except for those Alpha men who disappeared because of the "paradox", most of the survivors Both left this planet.

This "space elevator" is obviously the starting point of the journey of these Alpha people who have left their homes.

Ke Lan also participated in an exploration mission of the "Tower of Babel", but when he participated in this mission, the treasures in the Tower of Babel had been almost emptied by the hunters of the relics who arrived first in the past few decades. Their exploration mission was not so much exploration as it was a labor of love.

Everything that could easily be taken away has been taken away, except for the large aircraft parked in warehouses or on orbits.At that time, the precise and small equipment in these aircraft had almost been dismantled, leaving only the empty shell of the hull... Ke Lan and his team cut off the hull piece by piece, and then transported it through the transport ship. Back to the ark.

And the actual reward for that exploration mission was really pitifully low—if it weren't for exploring the B-level ruins to quickly improve his hunter qualifications, Ke Lan would not have chosen this mission at all.

"This organization called 'Babel Tower' was born in 909 of the new era. The founders are a group of independent hunters who formed a temporary team." Having said this, Aya paused, "This point is not related to your Hunting God. The group is pretty similar."

"Did not see it……"

"The reason why their organization is named 'Babel Tower' is because these independent hunters were the first to enter the B-081 ruins 'Babel Tower' for exploration. As a relic hunter, you should know this What does it mean?" Aya continued.

"I know, a group of lucky and jealous guys... a b-level ruins with almost no danger, but also rich and oily, this is the place where every ruin hunter dreams of going." Ke Lan took over the words.

"By exploring the Tower of Babel, these independent hunters made a lot of money, and their subsequent development is different from yours." Aya said, "This group of independent hunters did not register for the hunting group, but decided to wash their hands. , no longer risking his life to explore the ruins, but relying on this generous start-up capital, he started the business of buying and reselling the spoils of the ruins."

"It's a normal development." Ke Lan nodded. "If they could make money comfortably, most of them would not choose to work hard. What's more, the death rate of relic hunters in those days was much higher than it is now."

"This group of former independent hunters quickly made more money by relying on the experience and vicious vision they accumulated during their exploration... and began to enter other industries." Aya took a deep breath, "Among them including the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry."

"Then the suspicion of this organization is very high. The acquisition of raw materials and the production of preparations... are almost a one-stop industry." Ke Lan nodded.

"Yes, there are only two pharmaceutical production companies and one chemical factory in this economic development zone, and the production lines of these three companies are all here... Moreover, the owners behind them are all 'Tower of Babel'." Ah Ya analyzed, "So, I suggest that this 'Tower of Babel' be investigated first."
