Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 841 Contaminated Creatures
"Ark's Navy." 33 nodded, "This can be regarded as a piece of 'black history', people outside the military system will never know about it... and even people in the army, only a very small number of people know about it A piece of 'black history'. Well, the old dog must know about it, but he probably didn't mention it to you."

"Never mentioned it." Ke Lan said.

"When the Ark first landed on Planet Alpha, the people on it also thought about forming a naval fleet... Although the Extreme Sea cannot sail, the area of ​​the Zhonghai Sea is so large. If you want to control this sea area, a powerful fleet must not be able to do so. Less.

"But in the first few years after landing, the Ark was tired of dealing with the attacks of indigenous creatures, and didn't have the heart to explore the sea area... This plan was shelved for several years. It has just begun to decide to formally form a navy.

"The two 'Oberon' class heavy cruisers of the Air Force Fleet have been transformed into naval and air battleships and have been renamed the 'Zhenhai' class, respectively the first ship 'Zhenhai' and the second ship 'Dinghai' ... This gun barrel comes from the naval gun on the 'Zhenhai'.

"However, the plan to form a navy was cut in half after only half a year. According to the information circulating within the army, the two 'Zhenhai-class' cruisers seemed to have sunk because of too hasty remodeling, accidents happened one after another... Unexpectedly, they sank Here." 33 glanced at the gun barrel with some emotion.

"Although the model of the 'Auberon' class heavy cruiser is a bit old, it is still a battleship that can go to the universe. The hull structure that can go to the universe can naturally be launched, so the renovation project does not take much time at all, and there is no rush at all. Said. You only need to replace the jet propulsion with blades, and replace the missiles with torpedoes. Moreover, it was very common to install anti-gravity devices on warships at that time, and they didn’t even need drainage tanks, and warships could be used directly as submarines... ...The cause of the sinking does not appear to be an accident." Ke Lan analyzed.

"It's a battle." 33 supported the gun barrel, looked in from the muzzle, and said, "The inner bore of this gun barrel has very serious wear marks. There are more than 90.00%, it can be worn like this, one can imagine how high the intensity of the battle that the "Zhenhai" encountered before it sank... This is still a smoothbore gun used to launch artillery-launched missiles, if it is a conventional rifled gun If so, the rifling inside is probably worn out."

33 turned the gun barrel around again, and the structure at the other end opposite the muzzle showed obvious signs of expansion and deformation, and the fracture was very rough, as if it had been forcibly torn from the gun mount by a huge force.

"And here, how do you think the barrel broke?" 33 looked at Ke Lan and asked.

"Bomb?" Ke Lan stretched out his hand, caressed the rough fracture of the barrel, and replied tentatively.

Although Ke Lan is considered a half-military fan, he has never been a soldier, nor has he participated in actual combat. All his military knowledge comes from information on paper, and he cannot compare with professional soldiers like Hound and 33. of.

Like the question 33 is asking now, even if you search the military books in the entire library, you may not be able to find a standard answer.The knowledge it involves is too broad and complicated. Not only does it need to understand weapon manufacturing, but also materials science, physics, and even the war history of the Ark, indigenous biology, etc., and the knowledge of these subjects can be synthesized to Through such a broken barrel, the battles that the "Zhenhai" has experienced have been restored.

But 33 they don't need this knowledge... What they rely on is experience, the experience accumulated in countless battles full of gunpowder and blood.

"This gun barrel was indeed blasted, but it is made of N90 Nino alloy, and the barrel is integrally formed by forging. Guan turned the other side, and there was a relatively obvious depression in the middle of the barrel. He gestured with his palm and continued, "In my opinion, this barrel should have been attacked from this direction. It was swept off abruptly. And what swept it off was not a hard object with sharp edges and corners, but something smooth and flexible... I am more inclined to be the attacking organs of indigenous creatures, for example, tentacles."

(Note: N90 grade Nino alloy means that the content of Nino alloy in a certain material reaches more than 90.00%. Generally, the material label mixed with Nino alloy is prefixed with N+ number (Nino alloy content percentage), plus other The labels of metal elements or man-made alloys, for example, a kind of boiling steel mixed with 003% Nino alloy and its own carbon content of 08/[-], the label is "N[-]-[-]F", as for some For materials with complex ingredients, a single label can even fill half a sheet of paper.)
"I understand what you mean." Ke Lan continued, "Maybe the one that sank the 'Zhenhai'...is the fusion body in the abyss hatchery."

33 nodded approvingly: "It seems that the undead crew has already discovered this underwater city, and the two heavy cruisers that were transformed into the 'Zhenhai class' were not actually used to form a navy. The navy is just a cover, and this underwater city is their real goal."

He continued: "Besides, you and the people on the 'Pioneer' icebreaker are not the first people to enter the underwater city. It has been explored as early as 950 years ago in the new era."

"I think we can now take the search for the wrecks of 'Zhenhai' and 'Dinghai' as the primary goal." 33 said, throwing the barrel to Ke Lan, "Zero, please use this as a material, help me Build a weapon of sufficient weight."

"Weapon? What shape do you want?" The voice of Ze Luo, who was regarded as a human flesh forging machine, rang in 33's ears.

"Long-handled battle ax, the center of gravity should be as far forward as possible, and it would be best to swing it like a hammer... The blade doesn't need to be very sharp, even if it is a blunt weapon, the destructive power is completely sufficient under the weight of the blessing. I only have one The rigid requirement is that it must be strong enough.”

33 is very clear that the enemy they need to face is probably the monster that swept away the barrel...

"You are right, but the problem is that the main wreckage of Zhenhai and Dinghai is not in this city." Ke Lan sighed, "There are nothing more than three situations. In the first situation, Zhenhai and Dinghai The ship did not sink, but was secretly transferred to another place by the undead crew after the mission was over; in the second case, the Zhenhai and Dinghai did sink, but the wreckage was salvaged by the undead crew. In the third case, the wrecks of the two battleships are indeed still on the bottom of the sea, but they either sank in the abyss hatch, or they are in other places outside the sea platform. The former is a forbidden area for us, while the latter , it’s looking for a needle in a haystack... oh no, looking for a boat.”

"Even if the wreckage of the main body is not here, there must be some scattered parts, like this gun barrel... oh, it's an ax now." 33 took the tomahawk processed by Ze Luo, and swung it a few times. Down.Ze Luo removed all the impurities in the gun barrel, and then used the power of space to forge and press the remaining pure Nino alloy, transforming it into a long-handled battle ax with an extremely rough shape.

This battle ax has a blade radius of 82 meters, and its overall weight is 33 kilograms, which is more than [-] times heavier than the "[-]-jin Qinglong Yanyue Knife" exaggerated in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... If it weren't for [-]'s ability to manipulate Nino alloy, even if he underwent three strengthening surgeries, he still wouldn't be able to lift the axe.

"Well, you can search a little more carefully... Be careful!" Before Ke Lan finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, raised his hand and shot a space blade.

The sharp blade of space, which was invisible to the naked eye, drew a crescent-shaped vacuum trajectory in the water, and cut a sea snake-like native creature into two sections in an instant—this sea snake had been dormant among the ruins of the building before. During the process, not only the color and pattern of the body surface became almost the same as the surrounding environment, but even the heartbeat and blood flow completely stopped, and the body temperature was exactly the same as that of sea water... Although Ke Lan had glimpsed this sea snake before. However, he took the sea snake as a corpse or a leftover slough, until the sea snake suddenly exploded and attacked 33 who had turned around.

The blade of space happened to hit the "three inches" of the sea snake, but the severed snake's head still opened its mouth and bit towards 33. Fortunately, Ze Luo solidified the space barrier in front of 33 in time and blocked the snake's head down.

The head of the snake that "hit the wall" was bounced away, but the mouth covered with venomous fangs was still continuously biting together. A large amount of light blue toxin was sprayed out from the poisonous glands in the mouth, and diffused in the sea water.

"This toxin is highly toxic and corrosive. If a human comes into contact with it, the central nervous system will be completely paralyzed within 1 seconds. Even a ninth-level modified human who has received enhanced toxin resistance cannot last more than 33 minute." Ze Luo said to Ke Lan and [-], "Moreover, this kind of toxin cannot be equipped with an antidote or treated at the level of human technology. It is a poison that will kill you if you touch it."

"I didn't expect such a humble little snake to have such a terrifying poison?" 33 sighed in a low voice. Although the venom had been isolated by the space barrier, when he saw the venom spreading towards him, 33 Still subconsciously took two steps back.

Although Ke Lan really wanted to see if his "special physique" could withstand this toxin, his rationality still managed to stop him from this senseless act of death - the toxin directly acts on the central nervous system, Ke Lan is still not sure whether his own recovery ability can have an effect on the brain... He can do experiments on other parts to try, but he absolutely dare not move the brain.

"There is a familiar smell in the toxin." Zelo said again.

"Familiar taste?" 33 was stunned for a moment, "You...have you tasted it?"

"You can understand that I have tasted it." Ze Luo continued, "This toxin should come from a prehistoric species, and this prehistoric species has encountered Ke Lan in a special form."

"The prehistoric species I have encountered? Leviathan? Or..." Ke Lan subconsciously thought of the prehistoric species that had been trapped in the underground laboratory on the unnamed desert island.

But the problem is that he only saw the image of the primordial species in his memory, and it was not a real encounter...

"It's Yinglong." Ze Luo said, "I tried to analyze the gene sequence of this toxin, and found that it is highly similar to the gene of Yinglong's egg... Moreover, according to relevant literature, the sea area around Yinglong's corpse , are also polluted by the highly toxic it released. That toxin should be very similar to the toxin secreted from the venom gland of this sea snake."

"Ying Long...you mean this sea snake is Ying Long?" 33 looked at the still moving snake's head in astonishment and exclaimed.

"No, it can only be said that it has a very small amount of Yinglong's bloodline... It is also possible that the original gene was polluted by Yinglong's gene. The toxin secreted by this sea snake is only a weakened version of Yinglong's poison, but the toxicity is still the same. Don't underestimate it," Zelo said.

"Isn't Yinglong's burial place in the central trench of the Extreme Sea, the 'Eye of Hell' abyss? If you say that Yinglong died in Zhonghai, then this sea snake will be polluted by Yinglong's genes, so what? It makes sense, but the problem is that Jihai and Zhonghai are fundamentally different, and Yinglong's genes cannot be passed on. This sea snake, or its ancestors, can't break through the permanent ice cap of Jihai, and then cross half of the Alpha star land , come here."

"Yinglong has wings, it can fly..." Ke Lan shook his head, "Besides, we may not be still in Zhonghai now."

"Tsk... You don't mean to tell me that this is the Extreme Sea, right?" 33 sighed, "The temperature of the seawater is wrong, and the salt content and composition are also wrong. This cannot be the Extreme Sea."

Ke Lan did not answer, but picked up the sea snake's body, and with a light stroke of his fingernail, the space blade extending from the front of the nail cut the body open along the sea snake's spine.

The meat inside the sea snake presents a transparent and moist texture. If this thing is not poisonous, it can be sold for a sky-high price in a high-end restaurant just because of its appearance... However, the most eye-catching thing is not its meat quality , but its skeleton.

The bone of this sea snake has been completely crystallized, with a hint of lavender luster, like a gem, but when Ke Lan stretched out his fingers to touch it, the crystalline bone quickly melted away.

Ke Lan froze for a moment, this scene seemed similar.

The creatures that were captured in Yagunaktor No. [-] block also had similar crystalline tissues in their bodies... and would also degrade themselves quickly after the body died.
