Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 775 Central Control Computer

"Then... what are we going to do now? Are we going to find someone else?" Mo Jue seemed a little lost at this moment—although she has been working as a "lumberjack" for many years, she has never reached such a deep area. , I have never encountered such a paradoxical thing.

What's more, it happened to me.

This is like a swimmer. Although her water quality is excellent, the deepest swimming pool she faces all year round will not exceed two meters, and the water quality is so clear that you can see the white tiles at the bottom of the pool at a glance—but if you let This swimmer looks directly at the extremely dark and bottomless abyss, and most likely he will also feel nervous.And at this time, if a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the depths of the abyss, and they met the athlete's gaze, those with weaker mental qualities would probably faint from fright.

"It's been more than two hours, and with their moving speed, I'm afraid they are far away from us now." Ke Lan said, "What's more...they left in several different directions, plus Those weird phenomena in the forest... it's hard to find them."

"Then what should I do?" Mo Jue's breathing was so rapid that she could even hear the "thumping" sound of her heart beating in her chest.

"Instead of running around like headless chickens in the forest...it's better to continue to move forward according to the original goal." Ke Lan said in a deep voice, "I believe that after their consciousness regains consciousness, they will make the same choice of."

"We still have to move on?" Mo Jue froze for a moment, looking at Ke Lan in disbelief.

"Otherwise? Is it possible to exit the forest now?" Ke Lan asked back, "I have 'navigation', but they don't... For them, the difficulty of escaping this forest is estimated to be higher than going to the core area... After all, we are now only a dozen kilometers away from the core area of ​​the forest, but if we want to go out, we have more than twice the distance."

"But...the more you go in, the more..."

Mo Jue originally wanted to say "the further you go, the more dangerous it is", but the words got stuck in her throat... because she realized that the current situation is bad enough, how bad could it be?
The plasma main cannon of the "Shaojiang-class" frigate, the overwhelming biological weapons, the strange thick fog and the deleted memories... After experiencing these things, she suddenly felt that the terrible memories in the deep forest and those terrible memories deep in the forest were in her mind before. The impression seems to be gradually fading.

"One more thing, if there is really a big secret hidden in the core area of ​​the gray mist forest, even if we are the only ones who have reached that place, we may be able to rely on this secret to rescue other people trapped in the forest."

This is like playing a game. As long as your teammates are not dead, even if they are trapped in the maze and cannot escape, as long as one person in the team defeats the final boss and clears the game, then these teammates will naturally survive.

Assuming that the foggy forest is a "relic" built by the Alpha civilization, as long as it can seize control of the core area, it may be possible to directly release the people trapped in the forest.

"But your 'navigation' can only reach a depth of 35 kilometers. If we go any further, we will lose our way!" Mo Jue said.

"So, we have to collect clues first."

"Clue? What clue?"

"Such a big battleship is here, we can't just ignore it." Ke Lan said while dragging Mo Jue forward.

Ke Lan is not sure whether his memory has been deleted or not, but at least his location has not changed significantly. After walking a few steps forward, the wreckage of the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate appeared in Ke Lan again. within the field of vision.

The beast tide has receded, and the thick fog has completely swallowed up the wreckage of the entire battleship.

Borrowing Ze Luo's ability to push away the fog, Ke Lan and Mo Jue carefully looked at the battlefield not long ago - the corpses of those biological weapons had already been completely degraded, turned into nutrients and absorbed by the soil and fog perches. They don't even leave a skeleton.

The main component of the bones of most animals on the earth is inorganic salts mainly "calcium". When the organic matter in the bones is decomposed by microorganisms, the remaining parts can often be preserved for a long time.But these biological weapons are different. Although their bone components are similar, when the individual dies, the body will secrete a substance that can dissolve this kind of inorganic salt during the degradation process, turning it into a liquid, together with other nutrients. absorbed by the soil.

This is the ultimate recovery efficiency. As long as the forest is not completely destroyed, these biological weapons can be produced continuously, and as long as the corpses of these biological weapons fall within the range of the forest after death, they cannot be regarded as loss.

The foggy forest only needs to consume a very small amount of resources to "resurrect" these dead biological weapons with a new attitude.

For some reason, Ke Lan suddenly thought of a fungus food called "flammulina velutipes" that he ate the day before and could often see it in the toilet the next day.

Although this metaphor seems a bit disgusting, the essence of these biological weapons is actually very similar to Flammulina velutipes, which cannot be digested by human stomachs.

If the foggy forest is a big melting pot, then they are the weapons used to defend the melting pot. If the weapons are damaged in battle, as long as the quality of the metal itself is not reduced too much, it will not consume much resources to rebuild it. —Even if Ark drove an army of the size that attacked the ruins of the ancient bronze city into the forest, it would only end up suffering from the endless sea of ​​monsters.

Fortunately, these biological weapons had to abide by the rules of the foggy forest—they would only attack intruders who were within the range of the forest but not submerged by the dense fog.

Using Ze Luo's ability to push away the dense fog is actually taking advantage of the loophole in the rules: as long as the range of the fog is not too exaggerated, it will not attract the attention of "Forest Will", and naturally it will not attract biological weapons s attack.

"This warhead... I just shot it out..."

Mo Jue bent down and picked up from the ground an iron-black warhead thicker than her thumb. It was a tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet. The warhead was not armored, but was completely forged from high-strength tungsten alloy. With the support of a large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle like the TAC-50, this warhead can easily penetrate a half-meter-thick solid wall made of high-grade concrete at a distance of 100 meters, but in front of those biological weapons But it was deflated, and even the original conical warhead had been squeezed into a flat button shape.

"Let's go."

Ke Lan could basically confirm that there were no clues worth paying attention to on this battlefield just by glancing at it a few times, so he called Mo Jue to walk inside the wreckage of the battleship.

He did not choose several other wreckages, but still set his target on the bridge—one was to check the "corrupted" corpse that was too late to collect before; The core component: the central control computer.

The core power reactor is the heart of a battleship, and the central control computer is the brain of this battleship. Basically, all operating instructions need to be executed through the central control computer. If the "special operations fleet" was in the foggy forest before If anything is discovered, the automatic backup system of the central control computer will also record all these data completely.

Not to mention that with the advancement of technology, the central control computers of many warships will be equipped with AI-this kind of AI is not comparable to the smart housekeeper in Ke Lan's family. It is definitely the military industry that can enjoy these technological products first, not the civilian market.

Although civilian AI looks more personified, it seems to be more intelligent, it is only because these civilian AIs are supported by big data on the Internet, and they can find dialogues that are closest to the current situation from these data. An imitation of human interaction.As for the core performance such as computing power and thinking logic, it is absolutely incomparable to the seemingly emotionless and mechanically rigid military AI.

According to the files found on the Ark, the central control computer of the "Shaojiang Kai" is also equipped with an AI whose name is the battleship's serial number "SX-016".

Ke Lan had paid attention to the central control computer on the bridge when communicating with the ruins before. From the outside, this thing seems to be well preserved... Among other things, if the central control computer is seriously damaged, Not to mention controlling so many missile launchers and artillery, or even activating the main plasma cannon, it is even impossible to keep the battleship balanced in the air.

The "Shaojiang-class" frigate has 32 main propellers alone, and thousands of posture control nozzles on the whole ship. It is impossible to control the battleship by manual operation.

The so-called "manual operation mode" actually depends on the intelligent command system of the main control computer-it seems that the helmsman uses the joystick to make the warship turn around in the air, but in fact, the steps of the simple command of turning around are enough to break down. There are thousands of steps, even down to how many degrees a certain nozzle is turned in a certain direction, and the jet output is adjusted to a few percent of the maximum power... If the central control computer is damaged, it is impossible for this battleship to fly of.

The walker mecha can be manipulated by vines, that's because the mech itself is not a giant, but a battleship several hundred meters long cannot be lifted into the air by the power of those vines alone.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the awareness of the importance of the central control computer, those vines not only failed to destroy it, but woven into a huge protective cover, wrapping the entire central control computer in it.

With this "protective cover", even if the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate crashes for the second time, the central control computer should not suffer any damage.

After all, the original protection measures of this thing are already very complete.

As long as Ke Lan can restart the central control computer of "Shaojiang Reform", he can ask a lot of things from that military AI.

Why did Captain Heruni Yang transform from a human into a "corrosion", what did the special operations fleet find in the depths of the foggy forest, what kind of experience did the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate encounter in the forest after the crash, The foggy forest is like manipulating a battleship through those vines—these problems that plagued Ke Lan will be solved easily. Thinking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help but speed up his steps.

On the contrary, Mo Jue, who was following behind him, seemed a little overly cautious, especially when passing by the doors of the cabins on both sides of the corridor, his whole body was extremely tense.

"Do you think there are monsters hiding in the wreckage of the battleship, and they didn't retreat with the beast tide?" Mo Jue asked in a low voice.

"Probably not. These biological weapons are different from native creatures. They have no self-awareness. They are more like manipulated robots. They don't hesitate when charging, and they don't hesitate when retreating, unless, the one in your mouth" The will of the forest wants to ambush us in the wreckage of the battleship." Ke Lan said, "But even if there are biological weapons in these cabins, there are not many of them hidden. With the fighting power of Ze Luo and me, even if these cabins are filled with Full of biological weapons, it will not pose any threat to us."

After saying this, Ke Lan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth—although he said "with the fighting power of me and Ze Luo", in fact, [-]% of it was due to Ze Luo. As for Ke Lan himself , it is estimated that being able to deal with three or four biological weapons is already the limit.

"Three No Girls and I killed each other randomly, she was responsible for the random killing, and I was responsible for the quack. Well, there is nothing wrong with it, the two of us are really too strong." Ke Lan complained to himself in his heart.

The three of them...or two and one, quickly passed through the corridor and arrived at the bridge door. The hole that Ke Lan cut on the airtight door before was still there.

It's just that Ke Lan looked along the entrance of the cave, but the body of Hruni... "Erosion" was nowhere to be seen.

If you follow the plot of the horror movie, the disappearing corpse of "Erosion" is probably revived, and then hid in a corner, waiting for the protagonist to approach and then give the protagonist a "surprise"... But Ke Lan is not worried "Erosion" came back from the dead. Although that thing was weird, its actual combat effectiveness was not high. He could suppress it alone without the help of Ze Luo.

The fighting strength of "Erosion Wreck" is not even as good as a giant ghost-faced owl.

Moreover, judging from the traces left on the ground of the bridge, many biological weapons had been to this place not long ago, and the corpse of "Erosion" was probably swallowed or dragged away by these biological weapons.

"Huh... just ignore it, restarting the central control computer is the most important thing now."

Ke Lan ignored Mo Jue's question "Who cares?", and walked quickly to the two-meter-high power supply of the central control computer, and used the power of space to tear away the vines wrapped around it, and removed those with arms. Thick and thin cables are exposed.
