Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, and surprisingly found that the call between himself and the intelligence dealer had not been disconnected yet - the interference of the Star Destroyer Cannon to the radio was no less than that of the electromagnetic pulse bomb just now. It seemed that This call should have been made with the help of some "special means"...

Thinking back to that time in the bottomless sinkhole, when he was indulged in the dream created by the "octopus monster", and the intelligence dealer was able to send "e-mails" into the dream, Ke Lan had already noticed something was wrong.

Whether it is an email or a mobile phone, the so-called information carrier may be just a cover-up... Ke Lan thought for a moment, turned his hand over, took off the back cover, and pulled out the battery - the mobile phone that had lost its power The screen did not turn off, and the call status was still maintained.

"Isn't this unnecessary?" Ke Lan threw the phone out with all his strength, then pulled out his pistol and shot the phone into the air.

At this time, the voice of the intelligence dealer rang directly in his mind: "Hey, when did you discover this?"

"I've noticed problems since I picked up this phone. Judging from the degree of damage to the phone, it can't be turned on at all... These sounds and images are all generated in my brain, but these things are too realistic. It gives people the feeling that it is happening in the real world. Except this time, you also contacted me in this way when you were in the bottomless sinkhole and the ruins of the Ancient Bronze City, right?"

"Absolutely correct, ha...cough cough cough." The intelligence dealer's laughter suddenly turned into a cough. In this cough, Ke Lan could still vaguely hear the soft sound of flesh and blood crawling, "Ahem... The Fool Splits There is an invisible connection between the four personalities that emerged. With the help of some gadgets produced by Alpha Civilization, we can communicate across space at the level of consciousness...ahem..."

"You don't seem to be in the right state." Ke Lan replied with consciousness, "Why do you keep coughing? And...since it's communication on a conscious level, why can I hear these coughs?"

"I want to cough out the growths in my respiratory tract...cough cough...but it's a pity that they grow too fast...cough cough..." the information dealer said, "As for communication at the conscious level, the only way is to receive it. The informant is in a state of pure consciousness, cough, and the user of the device is actually no different from making a phone call... cough cough."

"Are you overeating?" Ke Lan couldn't help but frown.

"Almost...According to the progress, I should have broken through the critical point half a year ago. However, I used some methods to suppress the progress of the erosion. Although this method is similar to drinking poison to quench my thirst...ahem...but at least it kept me going. It's time." The information dealer seemed to be very anxious, and he spoke faster and faster, "Okay, don't worry about me, act quickly... The space beacon is buried in the wall of the fifth floor of the underground icehouse. ."

Ke Lan jumped in through the opening of the polygonal container - this was not the first time he came to the fifth floor of the underground icehouse, but compared to the last time, the changes here were so great that he could not recognize them.

After the original Yinglong Egg was destroyed, the walls, floors and ceilings of the fifth floor of the underground icehouse were all demolished and redone. Safety measures were also greatly strengthened, and the internal space was more than twice as small as before. Four completely transparent cabinets are neatly placed in the center, but three of them have been smashed open and the contents are missing. As for the fourth glass cabinet, it was originally used to store living armor. of that container.

"Ze Luo, can you sense the space beacon?" Ke Lan turned around and asked.

The girl tiptoed and walked around the edge of the icehouse, and finally stopped in front of the wall at one o'clock. She said to Ke Lan: "There is an abnormal node in space inside the wall, which should be the space beacon." ."

"Open it."

The sharp space blade cut through the high-strength alloy cast wall like tofu. When it cut to a depth of more than two meters, a black stone box buried in the wall appeared in Ke Lan's field of vision. middle.

Ke Lan carefully took out the stone box and opened the lid. What he saw was a rusty bottle cap.

There is an obvious indentation in the center of the bottle cap, and there are also signs of deformation on the edge where it was pried by a bottle opener.

"This thing...is a space beacon?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it is the space beacon leading to the 'New Moon'."

"The abnormal space node is attached to this thing." The information dealer and Ze Luo replied at the same time.

"Okay..." Ke Lan nodded and took out the bottle cap. Unfortunately, the paint on the bottle cap had already peeled off, and Ke Lan couldn't tell what the bottle originally contained.

But that's not important. This thing can teleport itself to the inside of the new moon instantly, which is enough.

"Ze Luo must stay here." The intelligence dealer added, "The moment the transmission channel opens, there will be very obvious spatial fluctuations. At that time, it is up to her to detonate the annihilation bomb and attract the attention of the undead crew... ...Ahem, my suggestion is to throw the annihilation bomb directly in the direction of the core area...Don't worry about the aftermath of the explosion, ahem, the undead crew will definitely find ways to suppress the damage of the annihilation bomb to a minimum."

"What about you?" Ke Lan asked again.

"I still have... ahem... other things to do... You can rest assured... before I turn into that kind of monster... ahem... I will handle all the aftermath, you don't need to come. Wipe my butt... cough cough cough."

"I know." Ke Lan nodded silently - although he was not sure whether the other party could see his nodding - then turned to Ze Luo and said: "After the space channel is opened, put the annihilation bomb Throw it in the direction of the core area, and then run away as far as possible. Find a place that is secluded enough to hide. When I finish the matter, I will come to you."

"You're talking about me as if I'm a child with no ability to protect myself." Ze Luo said expressionlessly.

"I'm worried about your safety." Ke Lan said seriously, "In the face of something like the World-Destroying Tree, your 'plug-in' is not completely invincible. What's more, we just encountered that kind of forbidden person. If there is another enemy with magical powers, what will you do?"

"I know, I will hide myself well." Ze Luo nodded, "Now, do you want to open the transmission channel?"

"Open." Ke Lan handed the bottle cap to Ze Luo, "Without further delay, we have already wasted too much time."

Ze Luo held the bottle cap and closed his eyes slightly. Ke Lan only felt a slight distortion in the surrounding space. The next second, the entrance to a teleportation channel appeared in front of him.

"The entrance can only last for a few seconds, hurry in." Ze Luo urged softly.

"I will launch the annihilation bomb as soon as I enter." After Ke Lan said this, he jumped directly into the transmission channel.

The surrounding scenery began to distort. At first, Ke Lan felt as if he had been thrown into a high-speed drum washing machine. His internal organs and the food he had eaten not long ago, whether it was breakfast or lunch, seemed to be about to pass from his throat. It's like throwing it out of your mouth...

But gradually, even this feeling of nausea and dizziness disappeared. Ke Lan's consciousness and body seemed to be separated. He seemed to be able to see his body being broken down into the most primitive particles, and these particles were gradually accelerated to close to the speed of light. ...He also saw that the spaces at both ends of the passage seemed to have been folded countless times, folding the two places that were originally far apart into the front and back of a piece of paper...

This was the first time that Ke Lan had carried out such a long-distance teleportation in a fully awake state. In the transmission channel, time seemed to have completely stopped. Ke Lan felt as if he had been frozen for many years, and even his thinking became a little slow. ... Just when he began to wonder if there was something wrong with the transmission channel and if he was trapped inside, the exit of the channel suddenly appeared in front of him, wrapping up his body and consciousness. Go in.

"Boom!"

Ke Lan was spit out from the transmission channel and fell heavily onto a smooth and cold metal floor.

"arrive?"

Ke Lan stood up holding on to the floor, rubbed his head, and looked around - this seemed to be a warehouse, but the doors of the metal cabinets placed against the wall were all open, and the interior was empty.

He glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist. The hands were still beating. There were still eight hours and seven minutes left in the "countdown" he had set. In other words, it only took him only a short time to pass through this transmission channel. Less than a minute.

Ke Lan tapped the ground with his toes, and his whole body slowly floated up. He drew an arc in mid-air and landed a few meters away. Judging from the physical sensation, the gravity of this place was probably that of Alpha Planet. One-fifth of the gravitational force calculated by the astronomers on the Ark for the double moon.

The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the earth, but due to the difference in volume, density, and distance from Alpha Star, the gravity of the double moon is also different from the moon of the old era. As for the moon that originally accompanied the earth, It was blown up by humans as early as when the "Wandering Earth" plan started to be implemented.

"Looks like I'm already inside Two Moons."

Ke Lan moved toward the end of the room in a half-jumping, half-floating state - Logically speaking, space fortresses like this type, in order to facilitate the daily life of the residents, are usually equipped with gravity simulation devices, especially those that are already skilled in it like the Alpha civilization. For a civilization that has mastered gravity control technology, it is impossible that there would be no such equipment inside Twin Moon Fortress...

Ke Lan couldn't help but have a bad thought in his heart: Could it be that the energy of the Twin Moon Fortress has been exhausted? I couldn't even turn on a gravity adjustment device.

If that were the case, wouldn't the Star Destroyer Cannon installed on the Shuangyue Fortress become a complete decoration?

Ke Lan moved to one end of the warehouse. There was a door more than three meters high. Before Ke Lan could reach out, the door seemed to sense Ke Lan's approach and automatically lifted up.

There were no lights on in the corridor outside, but when Ke Lan walked out of the warehouse, a familiar gravity was suddenly exerted on him, making him relax a little - it seems that the gravity adjustment device was not activated in the warehouse simply because This empty warehouse does not belong to the activity area of ​​​​the stationed personnel. The device is not turned on most likely to save unnecessary energy consumption.

"According to the information dealer, this should be the new moon, right?"

There were no inscriptions on the walls, ceiling, and floor on both sides of the corridor, and the entire corridor contained very little information. This made Ke Lan, who was accustomed to observing the surrounding environment the first step when entering ruins, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable - through The more information he obtains through observation, the more confident he will be. On the contrary, every step must be taken cautiously... Those risk factors hidden in unknown corners are like shackles, shackles on the hunter's hands and feet, dragging him down. Slow down the pace of exploration.

But Ke Lan doesn't have that much time and energy consumption now. He can't activate the Star Destroyer Cannon within eight hours, and human civilization will come to an end...

"Shuangyue Fortress...Shuangyue Fortress..." Ke Lan muttered this name silently. As an "outer" level Alpha civilization ruins, it is also the only "SSS level" ruins. The No. 0 SSS level ruins "Two Moons" "The exploration degree has always been zero. Apart from knowing that the two "moons" have firepower powerful enough to destroy all approaching aircraft, the Ark civilization knows nothing about the situation inside the twin moons.

However, from the nest master's mouth, Ke Lan learned some information about Shuangyue:

After Alpha Star, that is, the Earth of this time and space, "settled" in the galaxy, the Alpha people wanted to restore the original ecological environment, so they found a way to induce an asteroid to approach Alpha Star 60,000 years ago, and use Alpha The star's gravity captured it, making it a satellite of Alpha.

But later the Alpha people discovered that although this asteroid is about the same size as the moon, its mass is much greater than the moon. Therefore, the tides caused by gravity are more violent than the tides of the old era - that can no longer be solved by tides. To describe it, it was simply a catastrophic tsunami - several Alpha civilization cities built in coastal areas were destroyed, including the "ring city" that sank into the ground.

In order to solve this problem, the Alpha civilization collected a large amount of resources from nearby celestial bodies and built a brand new artificial satellite. A delicate balance was reached between this new satellite and the asteroid, and the gravitational pull between them mutually reciprocated. Checks and balances form a perfect "dual satellite system."

The asteroid captured by the gravity of Alpha Star was called the "Old Moon", and the artificial satellite later built by the Alpha civilization was called the "New Moon"... As for transforming these two satellites into space fortresses, This is what happened in the next tens of thousands of years.
