Alien Relic Hunter

"Yes, although the security system of the Twin Moon Fortress is locked, there are still a considerable number of Alphas remaining inside. These people are all survivors of the time and space paradox, and almost all are members of the Night Watch organization. As long as If you can find them, they will definitely help you." The intelligence dealer said with certainty.

"But is there enough time? According to the ultimatum you issued, in eight hours at most, the roots of the World-Destroying Tree will penetrate the Ark and penetrate into the earth of Alpha Star. By that time, even if the World-Destroying Tree and The Alpha star has merged into one... I can't blow up the entire Alpha star, right? Such a big movement might attract His attention."

Planet Alpha and human civilization are insignificant to Him, but that doesn’t mean that He can’t notice anything——

This is like an ant nest several meters high. Humans living nearby may not notice the changes in the number and type of ants in the ant nest, but if the ant nest collapses suddenly, it will definitely attract human attention.

"Eight hours is more than enough," the intelligence dealer said.

"Are you kidding me? Even if I take Yagunaktor, take off from the surface of Alpha Star, and arrive at Shuangyue in eight hours, it won't be enough, right?" Ke Lan said, "Unless you can find a direct route for me Come through the space channel of Shuangyue."

"To tell you the truth, there really is a space passage... and it's right here." The intelligence dealer said, "In addition to the Yinglong's Egg sealed in the fifth floor of the underground icehouse, there is also a tunnel leading to the Crescent Moon. 's space beacon, as long as Ze Luo injects enough energy into the space beacon, a space channel can be opened directly to the 'Crescent Moon'. However, this space channel can only be maintained for a short time, and it can only For you to pass alone.”

"..." Ke Lan was stunned, "Is this... also the Fool's arrangement?"

"yes."

"Why can he calculate so accurately?" Ke Lan asked puzzledly, "Is it possible that he is a person who has traveled from another parallel time and space and has already seen what will happen in the future? No... No, even if he can Predict the future, but if you want to interfere with the future, even the smallest changes will trigger a series of butterfly effects... At the beginning, history may still deviate from the original trajectory, but as these subtle changes continue Cumulatively, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes..."

"When the Fool was formulating his plan, he drained the computing power of the seventeen living supercomputers left behind by the Alpha Civilization, and then sealed a quarter of his personality into the core master brain, and used the core master brain to continuously carry out Calculation, while fine-tuning the details of the plan... Almost all possible situations have been calculated, unless that existence directly interferes with the plan... Of course, if that existence really intervenes, then the plan is not planned, that is It doesn’t matter at all.”

"I probably understand... But the problem is that the underground icehouse has been completely occupied by the roots of the World-Destroying Tree. What should I do now..."

Ke Lan stopped mid-sentence. He originally wanted to ask himself how he could enter the fifth floor of the underground icehouse to activate the space beacon, but now he already had the brand new trump card of the Twin Moon Fortress. There is no need to hide the ultimate annihilation bomb and Yagunaktor's Star Destroyer Cannon... The only problem that needs to be solved now is how to get in touch with the people who are staying behind Yagunaktor.

"The Communication Technology Research Branch of the institute is two kilometers away from you. Although the building has collapsed, the communication equipment excavated from the ruins of the Alpha civilization were all installed in safes made of Nino alloy and remained intact. ." The information dealer said, "As for how to use it, well, you should already know it by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Lan's memory directly contained an additional part about how to use these communication devices... To be precise, it was unlocked from the sealed memories.

…

…

Twenty-five minutes later, Yagunakitor.

"Old dog! I received an encrypted message from the Ark! It uses the secret code of our hunting group!" Layton, who was guarding the console, suddenly shouted, "It was sent by Ke Lan!"

"Finally, there's news about that kid?!" The hound, who was sitting on the sofa beside him in a daze, suddenly jumped up and rushed to the console in three steps at a time. "What's the content?"

"Immediately launch the Star Destroyer Cannon on Yagunaktor, hitting coordinates N59F16, E06C75."

"Where are these coordinates? Mark them on the map for me!" said the hound.

"It's...Ark West District 1, the former site of the research institute!" Layton typed on the holographic keyboard, and a red dot near the center of the Ark's floor plan was marked, flashing one after another.

"Research Institute?" The Hound was startled, "But, didn't this giant tree grow out of the core area of ​​the Ark? What's the use of bombarding the location of the Research Institute? Could it be that its roots have grown crookedly and are growing on the Institute's base? Underground?" The hound asked doubtfully.

"Then old dog... do we still need to fire?"

"Open! Why not?" Hound said immediately, "The Star Destroyer Cannon will start charging immediately. After charging is completed, it will fire. The target of the bombardment is the former site of the research institute!"

The Hound paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and then issued a second order: "Let the Skati and all its combat units move closer to us to cover the charging of the Star Destroyer Cannon!"

"Got it." Layton nodded vigorously and typed quickly on the keyboard with both hands. Valentina and Chi Hanfeng looked at each other, and both of them ran towards the hangar in tacit understanding. As for Asano Akira, he pulled out half an inch of the sword from his arms and gently rubbed the smooth spine of the sword with the pad of his index finger.

…

The Skati, which was still hovering over the Ark, began to retreat slowly. The fighter jets cruising around the battleship all returned to the hangar. Several turrets on the deck turned at the same time and fired in the direction of the Ark and the giant tree. A series of smoke bombs were fired, and the smoke bombs exploded in mid-air, forming a huge high-heat smoke belt mixed with metal debris. Under the cover of the smoke belt, the Skati gradually moved closer to Yagunaktor. passed.

As for the ground troops that had been standing still, they began to mobilize. Hundreds of vehicles were galloping in the wilderness. One after another, anti-aircraft gun positions were set up below Yagunaktor. Anti-aircraft gun barrels of different calibers were deployed. They were erected one after another, and the black muzzles pointed directly at the crown of the giant tree directly above.

"Old dog, all combat units have entered the designated positions. The aviation brigade has been resupplied, and the armored units have gathered on the deck. All possible preparations have been made." Leighton turned back and said to the hound in a deep voice.

"Start charging!"

Following the hound's command, Yagunaktor's drop-shaped head opened a gap hundreds of meters wide, and a rod-shaped object with a sharp front end, about fifteen meters in diameter, and an unknown material emerged from the gap. He poked it out and pointed directly at the ark twenty kilometers away.

Valentina had already sat in the cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha. She clearly felt a slight shake in Yagunaktor. Then, a light ball that could not be seen directly with the naked eye began to move around the rod-shaped object. The front end condenses...

Just as the hound had predicted, when Yagunaktor's Star Destroyer Cannon began to charge, those insect-like monsters once again flew out of the canopy of the giant tree, but this time their number was significantly reduced. There are more... Not only that, many insect-shaped monsters exploded after flying not far from the tree crown, and their bodies turned into scattered powder. These powders seemed to be attracted by something in mid-air, and during the process of falling, they exploded. They gathered together again, forming monsters of different shapes one after another.

The officers and soldiers of the Survivor Alliance noticed that most of these monsters were indigenous creatures already on Alpha Planet, but compared to those indigenous creatures, these monsters made of white powder were more aggressive in appearance - for example The largest monster simulates the appearance of a thunder beast, but the surface of the pair of scythes has many sharp serrations. The original blunt toenails of the thunder beast have also become sharp and long claws. The length of the bone spurs has more than doubled...

The most terrible thing is that this Thunder Beast has actually grown two pairs of huge wings - although the lift provided by these two pairs of wings is not enough to levitate the Thunder Beast in the air, it gives it the ability to adjust its direction in the air... If it were to just fall on the Ark, the shock wave it would cause would be enough to knock down a large number of people.

"Attack! The whole army attacks!"

The first to fire were the mecha troops gathered on the deck of Yagunaktor. Under the leadership of Valentina, a dense firepower net enveloped the swooping monsters, followed closely by the Skadi. The plasma main cannon, three bright balls of plasma passed directly above Yagunaktor, and all monsters in contact with it were turned into ashes in an instant.

Countless fighter jets and flying mechas took off from the hangar and deck of the Skadi, and rushed up from both sides against the edge of the monster group, using airborne weapons to continuously cut into the monster formation. Although Compared with the overall number of monster groups, the results of these combat units are almost negligible, but they still tried their best to reduce the number of monsters rushing towards Yagunaktor, almost risking their lives. quantity.

The most efficient weapon is the main gun of the heavy cruiser Skadi. Every time it is fired, it can create a large blank area among the monsters... But the biggest flaw of the triple plasma heavy gun is that it cannot fire continuously. Before the next shot is ready, the vacancies created by the previous shot will be filled by subsequent monsters in the blink of an eye.

"Layton! How long?" The hound stood next to the Blasphemer mecha, looking up at the dark group of monsters directly above, and roared at the intercom.

"Ten seconds left!"

"Why is it still so long... Huh? Wait, you said ten seconds?" The hound was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face. At the same time, he muttered softly, "Why is it like this this time?" quick?"

"Five seconds!" Layton's speaking speed became even faster, "I don't know, anyway, the progress bar of this thing is almost reaching the top... Maybe the principle of the launch mechanism is different from that of electromagnetic pulse... Okay , charging is complete! Do you want to fire now?"

"Open! Open the fuck!"

The light ball condensed at the tip of the rod-shaped object gradually expanded to about a hundred meters in diameter. After Layton photographed the "launch button", the originally huge light ball looked like a red giant that suddenly collapsed into a white dwarf. The star shrank to the size of a ping pong ball in an instant, and the light that was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly was extinguished, leaving only a murky dark gray.

The next moment, the gray sphere broke away from the front end of the rod-shaped object and flew towards the Ark at a slow speed.

This slow speed is relative to those who are observing it - but no one noticed that when the gray sphere flew slowly in the air, everything around it slowed down, and those shooting into the air Bullets can be caught by the naked eye, and the flapping wings of the monsters rushing down have become clearly identifiable.

"This thing... also comes with a 'bullet time' special effect?" A thought came to Hound's head. Just when he exhaled the breath he was holding in his throat, it seemed that it would take a long time to fly there. The gray sphere of the Ark then disappeared from sight.

In the distance, Ark's energy shield flickered a few times and disappeared completely. A huge pit appeared silently on the west side of the core area.

"0.13% power...is it so terrifying?" Hound couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't imagine what would happen if this was a 100% power Star Destroyer Cannon when it hit the Ark. Effect.

…

Inside the Ark, West District 1, the former site of the research institute.

The institute has completely disappeared, or to be more precise, the entire West District 1 has disappeared.

Ke Lan and Ze Luo began to stack space barriers when the Star Destroyer Cannon was charging. Ze Luo created more than a hundred layers of space barriers in a row, wrapping the two of them in them... But when the Star Destroyer Cannon was charged, When the star cannon arrived, those indestructible space barriers melted away like snow under the scorching sun... It wasn't until the last three layers of space barriers that the energy reaction of the star destroyer cannon completely dissipated.

"Huh... it was almost wiped out... After so many layers of armor were stacked, there were only three layers left. Is this the Fool's calculation?" Ke Lan muttered, "This is still the electromagnetic pulse bomb. If part of the energy was really emitted at 0.2% power, I would probably be pissed off right now, right?"

He lowered his head and looked down at the underground icehouse.

The first to fourth floors of the underground icehouse, including the roots of the giant trees entrenched in them, have completely disappeared. Even the deep well leading to the fifth floor has completely disappeared in the aftermath of the Star Destroyer Cannon... The entire The fifth floor was directly exposed to Ke Lan's field of vision - it was an approximately spherical metal polygon, soaked in a container filled with liquid nitrogen, but now only less than three-thirds of the container was left. In one part, all the liquid nitrogen in it has already evaporated.
