Alien Relic Hunter

"Weapons... This machine should be equipped with weapons, right? The pilots of the Alpha Civilization can't just go to the battlefield with bare hands, right?"

Just when Ke Lan was thinking this, a heads-up display made of orange light screens suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, with alpha text clearly indicating the weapons equipped with this machine.

"Heavy armor-piercing sword: sufficient energy/spare energy crystals: 16 pieces.

Plasma Charged Cannon: Cooldown Complete/Spare Ammo: Unlimited.

Annihilation bomb: Not yet authorized / Spare ammunition: 1 round. "

Ke Lan stretched his hand behind his back and just grabbed the hilt of the sword protruding from his shoulder - this giant sword with a blade length of nearly ten meters had appeared behind the mecha at some point, but Ke Lan I just didn't notice it at all before.

"Is this the melee weapon of Alpha Civilization?" Ke Lan quickly looked at the giant sword in his hand. Although this giant sword was completely made in accordance with the aesthetic style of Alpha Civilization, its general structure was similar to the self-cooling weapons in the human world. The weapons of the same name that have been passed down from time to time are almost the same - the streamlined sword tip, the thick sword spine, the blades with edges on both sides... Even the handguard and hilt are the same. They are reduced several times and thrown into some places. In an online game with a sword and magic theme, it won’t feel out of place at all.

The only difference is that there are a large number of precise crystal circuit structures embedded in the hilt of the sword. Ke Lan just moved his mind slightly, and these crystal circuit structures were activated instantly. With a "buzz" sound, the tip and blade of the sword suddenly A layer of colorful light shield like an energy shield appeared, and the remaining energy of the "Heavy Armor-piercing Sword" in the head-up display was rapidly decreasing.

"It should be similar to the principle of an energy shield generator... except that it is constrained into a sword shape through some means, and the power at the tip of the sword should be compressed several times, making it more powerful. Penetrating and destructive power..."

Ke Lan tried to swing the giant sword, which immediately left a deep ravine on the ground.

As for the feel... it feels like cutting butter with a red-hot table knife...

In addition to this heavy armor-piercing sword, the Metal Colossus is also equipped with two other long-range weapons-the plasma-charged cannon. It is not difficult to understand that this kind of weapon can already be produced with the current technological level of mankind, but Alpha Civilization has miniaturized this big thing that humans can only install on main battleships, and installed it on ten-meter mechas.

If humans want to do this, they must solve three problems:

The first is the safety issue, which goes without saying, and the second is the miniaturization of the energy supply device... If the people at the institute can get similar equipment and analyze it through reverse engineering, it should be easy to solve... But the third problem , which is more difficult.

Barrel material issues.

The barrels of plasma cannons currently installed on main battleships are basically disposable consumables. After one shot, most of the barrels have been evaporated. If they are to be miniaturized, the barrels must not be disposable. ——The mecha is not a battleship, and there is not so much load and space to carry a large number of spare gun barrels.

Although the display shows that the ammunition of the plasma-charged cannon is unlimited, since it is a plasma weapon, it definitely requires energy. Ke Lan estimated that this weapon should use the energy of the Metal Colossus itself, but before the energy of the Metal Colossus is drained, the life of the barrel will be exhausted first... That's why the spare ammunition will be displayed as "Infinite" "Bar……

"I just don't know where this cannon is..." As soon as this idea came up, there was a sound of metal parts colliding above the metal colossus, and a black barrel stretched out from where the neck should have been. , pointing to the position where Ke Lan's eyes were focused.

"This is how the material problem was solved..." Ke Lan instantly understood how the Alpha people solved the problem of the material of the gun barrel: this gun barrel, which is more than one meter long and has a wall thickness of five centimeters, is actually made of 100% pure Made of Nino alloy... Such a large amount of Nino alloy is enough to manufacture hundreds of thousands of standard "Type 01" assault rifles... This is indeed a way to solve the problem, but the price/performance ratio is really too low.

Of course, if humans can crack the formula of Nino alloy, perhaps this problem can be solved.

At this time, an extremely large black beetle quickly circled around the island. After increasing its speed to the limit, it turned and dived towards Ke Lan - this speed, coupled with its carapace The intensity is equivalent to that of a freshly discharged cannonball. If it is hit, even the main battle tank currently in service of the human army will definitely not be spared.

Ke Lan didn't know the defensive capabilities of the metal colossus, but in any case, even if it was just for testing, there was no reason to forcefully receive a cannonball.

As soon as he turned his sight, the plasma-charged cannon had locked onto the beetle. The blue outer ring and the blazing white inner core of the plasma dragged out the arc streamer like a comet tail, and hit it with huge energy -

"laugh……"

There was no violent explosion and fire as expected. The beetles were vaporized the moment they came into contact with the plasma ball. Then, the plasma ball silently melted several beetles on the flight path, streaking in the air. It passed through a bright and beautiful arc and fell into the distance.

Ke Lan immediately glanced at the barrel of the plasma-charged cannon - it was indeed Nino alloy, but the inner wall of the barrel turned red, with no signs of deformation at all.

The data on the head-up display changed from "Cooling Complete" to "Cooling 2%."

"In one second, the cooling progress is 2%. Calculating this way, the rate of fire of this thing is one shot every fifty seconds..."

This data is similar to the plasma cannon on a large battleship, but the latter will replace the barrel and charging core every time it fires. Fifty seconds is just the time required to replace the corresponding parts. In a sense, the battleship Every cannon on the ship has a lifespan of only firing once, so it cannot be considered a cooling down at all.

At this time, Ke Lan's eyes moved to the third weapon.

"The annihilation bomb... taken from the literal meaning, could it be an anti-matter weapon?" He murmured in a low voice, "A big killer weapon similar to the 'death ray'? It's a pity that there is only one bomb in reserve... and it also displays ' "It has not been authorized yet." Doesn't the pilot have the authority to use this weapon?"

This made Ke Lan think of the nuclear submarines loaded with nuclear weapons in the Earth's army in the old era. Although the launch button of the nuclear bomb was right in front of the captain, without the permission of his superiors, the captain would have to use that button. Even if it explodes, the nuclear bomb cannot be launched.
