Alien Relic Hunter

"What is this? It seems to have a very low density, and it can actually float on the blood pool." The hound's tone was full of doubts.

"Not sure... maybe it's some kind of associated crystal mine?" Of course Ke Lan knew what it was. Leviathan's skeleton was made of this kind of crystal... but he couldn't explain it to the hounds and the others.

"Associated mine? How come this thing appears here? Isn't there no mineral vein under Manstein's base?"

"Below the base..." Ke Lan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "By the way, Hound, have you found a usable computer in the main control building? It would be best if it could be connected to the base database. "

"The computer in Manstein's secretary's office can be used, but the LAN database cannot be accessed. The network server of the entire base has been blown up. If you want to check information, you can only check it on that computer. Local files." Hound shrugged.

"Local files... there might be something I want in the secretary's computer! Old dog, please help me keep an eye on this place. I'll be right back!" After saying that, Ke Lan quickly ran towards the main controller. building.

…

In the office, in addition to Manstein and his female secretary, there are four new faces - they are all survivors who Ivan rescued from the ruins. The three people's injuries are relatively minor and they have been injured. The treatment was completed, and the condition of the last person was worse: both of his thighs were cut off, the tissue at the wound was necrotic, and the massive blood loss made him fall into a coma, while Ivan was a little confused. He sat slumped on the ground aside, his hands and clothes covered with bright red blood.

Seeing Ke Lan barging in, everyone in the room focused their attention on him. Ivan raised his head and glanced at him, then slowly shook his head: "I tried my best. The operation was successful and the blood was all gone." It stopped...but before we found him, he had already lost too much blood, and there was no spare plasma, so I couldn't save him."

Perhaps because there are too many "insiders" concentrated there, the base's infirmary is one of the most completely destroyed buildings. Ivan even uses the equipment he carries with him for surgery, which can stop bleeding. Living there is no easy task.

"I asked everyone about their blood types. Unfortunately, there was only one injured person with type A blood. I tried to transfuse him with a small amount of type O whole blood, but he suffered a severe hemolytic reaction... Plus there's no suitable fluid here to serve as a substitute for blood... He can last up to half an hour."

"It can only be said that everyone has his own destiny." Ke Lan sighed, nodded to Ivan, and then turned to look at Manstein.

When Ke Lan saw him like this, Manstein was immediately startled again, and he quickly came up to him with a flattering look on his face: "Mr. Ke Lan, what can I do for you?"

"Does your secretary have the construction records of this base in your secretary's computer?" Ke Lan asked.

"There should be construction records... but which part do you want?"

"I want photos and videos of the part where the rock formation was excavated and the foundation was poured. It's best if you can see Leviathan's spine under the rock formation." Ke Lan pushed the keyboard in front of Manstein.

"Okay, I'll help you find it right away." Manstein took a deep breath and tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard.

It didn't take long for those photos to appear on the screen. These were all photos taken at the beginning of the construction of the base - heavy and large equipment was split into boxes of parts, transported directly to the sky above the construction site by airships, and then again The containers are lowered using steel cables.

While the workers were assembling the parts below, construction machinery soon appeared on the construction site one after another.

Ke Lan kept clicking the mouse, flipping through the photos one by one. It was not until the thirty-one page that he finally saw the scene under the rock formation.

The laser drilling machine cut eight 20-meter-square deep wells on the rock formation, leading directly to Leviathan's body. Workers wearing engineering power armor will drive the pre-made alloy frames into the deep wells. The next step is to drill the rigid alloy High-strength concrete is poured into the frame and foundation piles are poured.

With the help of the strong light of the searchlight, you can vaguely see a white skeleton-like object at the bottom of the deep well.

"This is the spine of Leviathan," Manstein said, pointing to it.

"Are you sure this is Leviathan's spine? And not something else?" Ke Lan asked.

"Confirmed! Leviathan's spine is only covered with a layer of skin tissue several meters thick. There is almost no subcutaneous tissue and muscles, and there is no chitin carapace on the skin surface like the Thunder Beast. In just a few days, the big A high-power laser can cut through this layer of skin, and then drive foundation piles directly on Leviathan's spine." Manstein replied that although he did not participate in the construction of this base, he wanted to become this base The top person in charge must still do this homework.

"This is...this is a bone..." Ke Lan said to himself in confusion.

"Yes, it's bones. Leviathan is the same as all carbon-based organisms. Its spine is naturally made of bones." Manstein said from the side, "But its bones are really hard. Otherwise, the foundation could be dug deeper.”

Ke Lan subconsciously tightened his grip on the mouse... However, what he saw in the image... Leviathan's bones were clearly that kind of ink-black crystal...

Except for the chitin exoskeletons of crustaceans, the main components of the skeletons of most carbon-based organisms are calcium and phosphorus. The bones of the indigenous organisms on Alpha Planet also contain some additional metal elements to increase strength-this This kind of skeleton may be able to support a body tens of meters high, but it is still too fragile for a behemoth like Leviathan...

This pale bone surface is definitely not the spine of Leviathan, at least, not its true appearance.

There is an extremely huge difference between this Leviathan beast and the one Ke Lan saw in the video.

But... that kind of jet-black crystal appeared in the blood pool again, and there was the same dark red substance inside the crystal...

This is definitely not a coincidence.

There is only one Leviathan from beginning to end.

According to the information provided by that video, Leviathan was obviously killed by the Alpha civilization, but the bugs that killed Leviathan were attached to Leviathan's bones, which made Ke Lan unable to understand. Oh... Could it be that Alpha Civilization is trying to use the skeleton of the previous generation of Leviathan to create a "new" prehistoric behemoth?

So...the Leviathan under their feet now is the one created by the Alpha civilization?

Judging from the size of Leviathan, the amount of material required to "resurrect" it is an extremely terrifying number. When the Alpha civilization killed it, the death ray cannon annihilated Leviathan's body. More than half of the flesh and blood - that is to say, even if they put together all the remaining flesh and blood, it would be difficult to piece together a complete Leviathan...

And after so many years, Leviathan's "completeness" still has not reached 100%. Even its blood vessels are still empty, let alone allowing this ancient beast to fly into the sky again.

The current Leviathan is only a "semi-finished product".

If this guess is correct, then the previous problem can be easily explained - the seemingly weird behavior of those monsters is actually collecting nutrients for Leviathan's "rebirth", and the giant cocoon in the square is actually It is a very special "digestive organ".
