Alien Relic Hunter

Upon hearing the news, Mitsui Suke was slightly startled at first, and then suddenly let out a sneer: "Heh... Then, Mr. Ke Lan, do you have any evidence?"

He tapped his finger on the ground beneath his feet and added: "This giant beast, Leviathan, is proof that it is still alive."

"No." Ke Lan answered simply.

"No? Hahahahaha... Mr. Ke Lan, did you know? If you lie about 'Emergency 000', you will be punished with a felony. Even the Soma Consortium cannot save you."

"But the Mitsui Consortium still uploaded this news to Ark, which shows that you don't completely disbelieve what I said."

"We are just acting in accordance with the regulations. Even if this is false news, the Mitsui Consortium does not need to bear any responsibility." Mitsui Suke said confidently, "It is you, Mr. Ke Lan. I am looking forward to what you will do." Only then can you convince me, and... how about convincing Ark Headquarters?"

"It's actually very simple to obtain evidence of Leviathan's resurrection." Ke Lan said.

At this time, the uneasy feeling that had flashed through his subconscious resurfaced again, causing him to hesitate for a moment. After weighing it again and again, Ke Lan made a decision - "Leviathan's territory is right below the base." Spine, if you want to confirm whether Leviathan is resurrected, you only need to dig up the rock layer and it will be clear at a glance."

"What if after digging it out, we find that the giant cocoon has nothing to do with Leviathan?" Mitsui said solemnly.

"Then I am willing to take all responsibilities." Ke Lan replied, looking directly into the other person's eyes.

"You have to bear all the responsibilities." Mitsui Suke narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Ke Lan, what you said is the same as what you didn't say."

"Then what do you think I should say, Mr. Mitsui-suke?"

"Our request is also very simple," Mitsui said, holding out four fingers to Ke Lan, "If it turns out that Leviathan has not been resurrected, I ask you to remove No. 2 and No. 3 near the Mitsui Consortium base. The mining rights of the four mines No. 4, and No. 5 are unconditionally transferred to us... Isn’t this excessive?”

"Sorry, Mr. Mitsui, I don't seem to have that authority." Ke Lan shrugged, "However, I have more valuable chips. I don't know if the Mitsui Consortium is interested."

"Huh? Let's talk about it."

Ke Lan took out the tablet computer from his bag, opened the test report of the ultra-pure crystal, and handed it to Mitsui Suke.

"What is this...what?!" When Mitsui's eyes moved to the screen, his expression suddenly changed extremely subtly: first it changed from disdain to shock, and then to shock——

Ke Lan has been observing the subtle expressions on the opponent's face. He can basically confirm that Mitsui Suke had no idea about ultra-pure crystals before... The information he had was limited to "the Soma consortium base was in the mine." Unknown monsters emerged and attacked, causing heavy losses."

"Ultra... ultra-pure crystal? Does this thing really exist? Could it be that you made it up on the spur of the moment?!"

"Please pay attention to the file serial number and digital key at the bottom of the file. These can be found in the Soma Consortium's confidential archives. I do not have the authority to modify the things there."

As for how Mitsui Suke can access the confidential archives of the Soma Consortium, Ke Lan did not say clearly, but within each consortium there will be commercial spies planted by other consortiums. This is basically a tacit understanding, although these spies It's generally difficult to get to the top, but access to classified archives is possible - as long as he can get the digital key.

The information about the ultra-pure crystal has been leaked, and the value of this file has been severely reduced. But before it becomes a piece of waste paper, Ke Lan still plans to squeeze out the last value of it...

In other words, this is a naked "white wolf with empty gloves", but Mitsui Suke has no idea about it...

"Okay!" Mitsui Suke exhaled heavily, "If the Soma Consortium can use ultra-pure crystal samples and related information as bargaining chips, I will ask the base to transport large-scale excavation equipment here now!"

"There is only information, and we only have one sample in our hands. If the Mitsui Consortium wants it... I can get a closer look at this thing, the attack on the Soma Consortium base, and the monsters crawling out from the depths of the mine... And the giant cocoon outside is closely connected."

Ke Lan paused and continued: "Perhaps, after digging out the rock layer, there will be ultra-pure crystals underneath... If the Mitsui Consortium gains anything during the excavation process, it will all belong to the Mitsui Consortium. We will Don’t take any money.”

"make a deal!"

…

…

Not long after, the Mitsui Consortium's transport plane appeared above the Soma Consortium base. Mitsui Suke, Ke Lan, Hound and others also gathered in the square.

"Ke Lan," Hound walked to Ke Lan's side and calmly tugged on Ke Lan's sleeve, "I think you are still too impulsive and should not have let Layton send emergency 000... Although and Mitsui Suke The bet between us has nothing to do with it, but if there is no sign of Leviathan's resurrection... it will be difficult for Ark to hold you accountable. Even if the military comes forward, I'm afraid they may not be able to keep you here."

The hound came closer and whispered in Ke Lan's ear: "It really can't be done. Don't go back to the Ark now after this incident. Stay outside to avoid the wind. The military commander of Helges is an old friend of mine. I can Help you get a false identity..."

The Herges in the mouth of the hound is a plateau located in the northern hemisphere of Alpha Star. Ark has built a large fortress there, which is specially used to supply field troops performing long-distance missions. In that fortress, the number of permanent troops is With more than 30,000 people, it is the third largest human gathering place on Planet Alpha, after the Ark and the remains of Leviathan.

"Don't worry." Ke Lan shook his head slightly, "Let's see what we can dig out here first."

The Mitsui Consortium's transport plane transported a "Longinus Gun MkⅡ" large-scale laser drilling machine. This drilling machine has a drill bit shaped like a steel fork. Both tips of the steel fork can emit high-power lasers. When the "steel fork" rotates, the two laser beams can quickly cut a circular deep well in the target rock formation.

According to the plan finalized by Ke Lan and Mitsui, with the giant cocoon in the square as the center, the "Longinus Gun MKⅡ" will cut eight symmetrical deep wells one hundred meters away from the giant cocoon, and then these eight The two deep wells are connected to each other, so that the circular rock formation where the giant cocoon is located is independent.

Immediately afterwards, the small cutting machine was pushed inward little by little, dividing the circular rock formation like cutting a cake. Finally, the crane lifted up all the divided rock formations!
