Alien Relic Hunter

"You may encounter..." Ke Lan nodded, "But judging from the last experience, these biological weapons have obviously not been developed yet, and most of the experimental records on the stone tablets ended in failure."

"Indeed, the monster that the pilot turned into last time is a bit tricky, but it is still too weak compared to the invulnerable ghost thing like the Seed of Corrosion." Hound agreed, "The only thing we need to be careful about is Ke Lan. The eyeball you mentioned... I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

"But judging from the exploration records of the previous hunting groups, the maximum depth they have reached is 440 meters. In other words, it is safe within at least 500 meters..." Ke Lan said, suddenly shaking his head. , "That's not right. They found biological tissues at 270 meters away. These tissues may be the ones sealed in the A-087 ruins..."

"You still have to go down and take a look in person." Ke Lan turned to look at Leighton, "Where are the equipment you brought this time?"

"It's all in the box." Layton said, dragging out a coffin-like black metal box from the table and opening the lid with a snap.

Inside the box is a set of equipment similar to a powered exoskeleton. There are sharp hooks operated by a hydraulic system at the ends of the arms and the front ends of the feet. A total of six are installed on the back, waist and calves. Mini rocket thruster.

"The wind speed at the depth of 300 meters in the sinkhole is about 20 meters per second. If you want to maintain balance, you have to increase the number of suspension cables to at least eight. But it is still very dangerous. I simply gave up the steel cable suspension. The descent method was changed to rock climbing equipment." Layton explained to the crowd.

"In order to deal with electromagnetic interference deep in the sinkhole, this exoskeleton adopts two control methods: chip control and mechanical control. All key components are purely mechanical structures. The freezing point of the filling fluid in the transmission hydraulic rod is minus 160 degrees. , although the overall design is relatively retro, the leather is solid and reliable." Layton said, lifting the powered exoskeleton out of the box.

"The hooks on both hands and feet are all made of Nino alloy. Each hook is equivalent to five sharp small ice picks, which can easily cut into the ice and is equipped with a heating device. , to ensure that it will not be unable to be pulled out due to freezing... As for these six rocket thrusters, they are the last resort."

"Last resort? How safe?" Hound asked casually.

"The power of the thruster is enough to allow you to maintain a hovering state in the level nine gale. In this state, the pre-filled fuel can last for thirty minutes. If you want to choose to escape from the ruins, you only need to adjust the injection angle. , open the output valve to the maximum and accelerate from zero, it will only take 3.5 seconds to fly from a depth of 500 meters to the top of the sinkhole." Leighton said, patting his chest.

"You idiot, you obviously only considered yourself when designing the equipment." The hound suddenly cursed, "With this powerful propeller, the G force exerted on a person when accelerating is enough to crush a person's internal organs. , among the few of us, I think only you and Asano Akira can withstand this load, and my old bones can’t bear it anyway.”

"Hey, old dog, you can't scold me this time. In order to deal with this problem, I have already thought of a way!" Layton chuckled and pulled out another thick package from the mezzanine of the box. The package was opened, and inside It is an exquisitely crafted piece of cold-proof clothing.

"Bought from the military, it is a tactical anti-German suit specially designed for special tasks in extremely cold areas. It solves three problems of protection, pressure reduction and cold resistance at once, but the price is a little expensive."

"It seems that you finally have some brains. It's really rare." The hound unceremoniously picked up the anti-German suit, looked it over before and after, and suddenly said, "I take it back, you idiot has been tricked again." Once, this dress is second-hand, didn’t you notice the obvious signs of wear on the lining?”

"There's no way..." Layton scratched the back of his head, "The production of this thing is very small, and it's not one-size-fits-all. It would be good to get a few second-hand goods of suitable sizes. Anyway, the actual effect will not be compromised, so we will make do with it. Get dressed."

Although the hound's words were full of disgust, in the blink of an eye, he had already put on the anti-gravity suit. He pulled the air pressure valve at the cuffs, and the originally loose and loose clothes tightened tightly, tightly wrapping the hound. body of.

"It looks okay... the thermal insulation effect is good." The hound nodded, and then with the help of Layton, he put the power exoskeleton on the outside of the anti-gravity suit. "We have got the new equipment, we have to try it first. Give it a try.”

"Well, if we continue to stay up there, we won't be able to analyze anything more." Ke Lan nodded and agreed, "The first time you go down, let's set a target of fifty meters deep."

"Fifty meters? Isn't that too conservative?" Leighton asked, "Those stone monuments won't appear until a depth of 150 meters. If you go down only 50 meters, you won't be able to see anything. ."

"Our primary target is not those stone monuments." Ke Lan replied, "First of all, we have to figure out the range of the spiritual attack and descend rashly. In case the 'things' in the sinkhole suddenly attack us, even if I can hear those The sound is too late to remind you... If possible, I even plan to dig down one meter at a time."

"Ke Lan is right, being cautious is not a bad thing. Those who die the fastest are the reckless ones." Hound said. He had already put on the exoskeleton. When the palm was opened and closed, the transmission lock was connected with the hook on the arm. There was a "squeaking" sound of metal friction.

Leiton prepared a total of six sets of such equipment, each set was tailor-made according to their body shape, so there was no uncomfortable feeling after wearing it. Ke Lan even felt the five ice pick-like hooks. , as freely as an extension of his own arm.

The six people returned to the edge of the sinkhole again, but before they could go down, Danner, the leader of the Polaris Hunting Group, ran over quickly.

"What's going on with you? Are you planning to go down into the sinkhole yourself?" Danner asked with surprise as he looked at the equipment on Ke Lan and the others.

The hound said, "What's wrong? Aren't we here just to explore this ruins?"

"...But, but you already know...half of the people who go down will go crazy. You still want to take this risk yourself? I thought you would send hunters..." Dana said in shock.

"We are the hunters of the God Hunting Group."

"He... Young Master Ke Lan... too?" Danner pointed at the heavily armed Ke Lan and asked, "You, you want to go down too?"
