Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 983 Silent March
Late at night, at [-]:[-], Mukah Fortress.

The "Skadi" set sail quietly, and the 760-meter-long hull slowly accelerated and crossed the night sky.

There was no impassioned swearing-in meeting, and there was no shocking swearing-in meeting. It was like a routine cruise mission. The "Skadi" Orca-class heavy cruiser sailed out of the berth. The red and green colors on the sides and tail of the ship After the navigation lights flashed a few times, they all went out, the optical camouflage armor on the outside of the battleship was activated, and the entire battleship merged with the night sky in just a few seconds.

The Alpha star, or the earth that wandered into this galaxy, originally had no satellites—the moon was blown up by humans when the earth left the solar system due to gravitational interference, and now the "double moon" of the Alpha star ", one of which was an asteroid captured by Earth's gravity 6 years ago.

However, the humans of the Alpha civilization discovered that the mass of this asteroid is much greater than that of the previous moon—the gravity of the moon only triggers tides, and under the gravitational force of this asteroid, tsunamis frequently occur on the Alpha planet, coastal areas The area is in a state of being uninhabitable and unproductive all year round.

In order to eliminate this "negative impact", the Alpha Civilization collected a large amount of resources in this galaxy, and created another "artificial moon" by imitating the mass, density and volume of this asteroid. In this double-satellite system, the two The gravitational forces of the two "moons" restrict each other, forming a delicate balance instead.

In the tens of thousands of years that followed, the Alpha civilization continued to transform the two moons, transforming the two satellites into two super fortresses with powerful firepower...just after the Alpha civilization disappeared due to the "paradox" , the security system of Shuangyue was locked, not only could no one enter the interior, but even if they got a little closer, they would be violently attacked.

In the "List of Alpha Civilization Relics" formulated by the Relic Hunter Association, there is a relic of the "outside theory" level - the No. [-] SSS-level relic "Double Moon".

So far, no one has successfully landed on Double Moon... Ark once sent a fleet to try to forcefully land on Double Moon, but after triggering the automatic defense mechanism of Double Moon, the fleet was lost in just 30 seconds Sixteen warships, including the flagship, had to abandon their battle plan.

In the following decades, the Ark made countless attempts, but none of them succeeded.

Rear Admiral Alexander looked up at the dome of the bridge—the bridge of the "Skadi" is fully enclosed and buried deep in the safest place in the middle of the ship.However, the dome, four walls and the ground of the bridge are all made up of real screens, which can project the images captured by the cameras outside the battleship.After turning on the panoramic special effects, people on the bridge will even have the illusion that they are suspended in the sky.

There are no traces of double moons on Alpha Planet, and the thick radiation clouds isolate everything—even in daytime, it is difficult to see the sun, let alone the moon that shines by reflecting sunlight.

The night of Alpha Star is very dark, there is no moon and no stars, the sky is like a thick black velvet curtain, wrapping the entire planet without a trace of light leaking in.

The engine power of the "Skadi" is hundreds of times greater than that of the original one, but the noise is so small that it is almost negligible. The 700-meter-long behemoth is as quiet as a giant whale diving into the deep sea. Looking up, there is no trace of it at all.

The Mukahe base is not too close to the Ark, but for the airship, it is only a few hours' voyage.

The orderlies in full combat uniforms had just taken away the empty coffee cups, and the huge silhouette of the ark appeared on the horizon—the black giant, like a mountain range across the plain... But at this time, Alexander But I feel that it is more like a giant beast dormant in the night.

"Advance three, target, the south side of the ark." Major General Alexander said in a deep voice, "All detection units are always paying attention to ground movements, and the carrier-based aircraft teams are ready to attack at any time, and the main guns and energy shields are in a pre-charged state. "

According to the reports from drones and reconnaissance planes, the fleshy creepers covering the surface of the ark have the ability to mutate into anti-aircraft weapons. After they detect the approach of air units, they will condense an organ with a structure similar to a ballista. This kind of organ uses bones as bow arms and tough tendons as bow strings. Its range can reach three kilometers, and its power can easily penetrate the armor of a fighter jet.

As for the detection radius, it is determined according to the energy fluctuations emanating from the target. For a 10-minute civilian drone, it won't be spotted until it comes within a kilometer of Flesh Creep.But if the target is a heavy cruiser, it will be locked by the anti-aircraft weapons on the fleshy creeper if it is more than ten kilometers away.

For the fleshy creep, the energy crystals that release energy are like lights that light up in the dark night, civilian drones can only be regarded as dim fireflies at best, and the "Skadi" heavy cruiser can definitely be regarded as the brightness of a searchlight .

"They have already spotted us, it's just that we haven't entered its range yet." Major General Alexander said, "Turn off all camouflage means to save energy. The maximum output power of the energy shield, the maximum output of the active power furnace energy converter Power, forward four, rush up!"

The "Skadi" with its optical camouflage armor turned off suddenly showed its figure in the air. The four propellers at the stern ejected a blue tail flame hundreds of meters long at the same time, pushing the battleship to accelerate suddenly, heading towards the distant The ark rushed over!
Major General Alexander knew very well that the air defense means of those fleshy creepers could never be just ballistas - those ballistas are very effective against drones or transport aircraft, but facing battleships with heavy armor and energy shields, Doubling the power of these ballistas is just scratching the itch.Since both the Garrison Fleet and the First Cruise Fleet were destroyed here, these fleshy creepers must have more powerful anti-aircraft weapons.

The opponent did not launch an attack for a long time. This may be a trap to lure the enemy into deep, but Alexander decided to use his tactics and rushed directly to the front, pouring all his firepower on the ark.

In this kind of battle, as long as you can take the initiative, you can gain a huge advantage-"hole cards" may be useful, but if you are so suppressed that you can't even play your hole cards, no matter how many hole cards you have. Just a scrap of paper.

No matter what anti-aircraft weapons the opponent has, as long as they can be destroyed first, they will not pose any threat to the "Skadi".

Attack is the best defense.

Alexander is still very confident about the aggressiveness of this greatly strengthened Orca-class heavy cruiser.

"The main gun, aim at the southern edge of the ark and fire." Alexander sat on the captain's seat, tightly gripping the armrest with both hands, and ordered.

"Do you want to directly attack the Ark, Captain?" The officer in charge of fire control turned his head and asked, "With the destructive power of our main gun, it is very likely to penetrate the layer of fleshy creep and directly damage the Ark's body. body, and even destroy the internal structure.”

"Direct attack." Alexander said expressionlessly, "If the Ark cannot be taken back, then our secondary goal is to completely destroy it."

"Understood...Understood!" A look of unbearable flashed across the fire control officer's face, but he still gave the order to fire.

On Alpha Planet, the Ark is a symbol of "home", but now he wants to open fire on his "home", and even destroy it when necessary... As a person who has always upheld "protect the Ark even if you sacrifice yourself" For soldiers of the creed, to issue such an order undoubtedly requires great courage and determination.

These officers did not know the secrets of Yagunaktor and Alpha Planet. For them, the destruction of the Ark was equivalent to the destruction of human civilization... Humans lost more than just a "homeland".

The triple-mounted plasma main cannon slightly adjusted its angle, and three glaring incandescent plasmas were ejected from the muzzle—these three plasmas seemed to fly very slowly, but in fact they only took less than zero In one second, the distance of [-] meters was covered, and the target was hit accurately.

The flames of the explosion soared into the sky, and the fleshy creep at the hit site was vaporized in a blink of an eye, and the body of the ark under the fleshy creep began to melt under the high temperature, and the steel beams more than ten meters thick melted into molten steel and fell down... If there are still survivors in the southern parts of the Ark at this time, it is estimated that they will be able to experience what it feels like to be stuffed into a steel furnace.

"Hit the target, and we are observing the attack effect." The fire control officer shouted, "The attack effect is excellent! The fleshy creeper in the hit area is completely wiped out! But the main structure of the ark is also severely damaged... The internal environment and other related data are under evaluation by the CIC. "

"There is no need to evaluate." Major General Alexander waved his hand, "There will be no survivors inside the ark."

"What?" The fire control officer was stunned for a moment, "General, this news...how did you know?"

"I know you all still have a little fantasy." Major General Alexander continued, "It is for this reason that I did not announce this news in advance. But it is just a fantasy... The reality is much crueler than the fantasy. Now I I must tell you that there will be no survivors on the Ark... Even if there are living creatures, they cannot be called human beings."

"How could this be?!" An officer from Mukakh Fortress widened his eyes and clenched his fists, "The scouting team sent by General Magino hasn't sent back any news. How did you come to this conclusion? Here? There are still 5000 million people on the Ark and the Ark! It’s only been a few days, how could there be no survivors? Even if they line up and shoot them, even if they use inhuman methods like poison gas, if they want to It will take a lot of time to kill all 5000 million people!"

"Don't apply conventional thinking to the enemy we are about to face." Major General Alexander glanced at the young officer, his tone softened slightly, "Is your family on the ark?"

The young officer hesitated for two seconds before nodding: "My parents, my wife, and my newborn daughter who is less than one year old...they are all on the ark...so, General, I can't Accept... I don't believe..."

"From now on, forget them." Major General Alexander said in a deep voice, "If you can't forget, then remember one thing, help them get rid of it, and then help them get revenge."

"Relief...relief?" The officer looked at Alexander with red eyes, "General, what do you mean...I, I don't understand."

"There will be no survivors on the Ark, but this does not mean that the 5000 million people are dead." Major General Alexander said, "It's just that for us, they are more troublesome to live than to die."

"Is it some kind of virus?" Another officer from the Zero Fleet answered, "After being infected by the virus, human beings will become that kind of monsters who lose their minds... just like the zombies in zombie movies. I Knowing that heretical sects have studied this kind of thing, as well as the seed of erosion...Damn it, if these 5000 million people are parasitized by the seed of erosion, then the possibility of us wanting to take back the Ark is almost non-existent, we can only use it Destroyed together with those monsters."

"The seed of erosion... Hasn't the heretical sect been eradicated?" the young officer asked just now, "General, can you tell me who our enemy is?"

"Now is not the time to discuss this." Alexander stared at the ark on the screen, "The enemy's counterattack will come soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing siren sounded from the bridge—"Attention, a large number of high-speed moving large-mass objects have been detected and are attacking the ship!"

"Massive object? Is it a missile?" Several officers were stunned, and immediately ordered, "Maintain the output power of the energy shield! The anti-missile missile compartment is fully opened, the fire control radar is fully open, and the near-anti-aircraft guns prioritize those breakthrough energy The target of the shield!"

"Zoom in the real scene!" Rear Admiral Alexander waved his hand, and the images on several specific screens above the bridge were magnified several times.

Under the strong light, everyone found that those attacking the "Skadi" were not missiles, but densely packed oval sarcoids—these sarcoids hit the energy shield of the battleship like shells, but they were not It was not vaporized in the first place, but burned blazingly.

This is not good news for the "Skadi". These sarcomas are like the rocket's return capsule, with a high-temperature ablation layer on the surface... It looks like it is burning, but it is actually In protecting things inside the sarcoma.Almost [-]% of the sarcoma broke through the energy shield of the "Skadi" and entered the hollow layer between the battleship and the shield.

The anti-aircraft guns were fully fired, but they still couldn't stop these sarcomas. Nearly [-] sarcomas landed on the deck of the battleship...

Immediately afterwards, countless monsters of different shapes emerged from these tumors...

"This is, Tiao... Tiaobang?" an officer whispered in disbelief.
