Alien Relic Hunter

The voice ignored Ke Lan's complaints and said to itself: "Please pay attention to the time. The support fleet will only shoot once, and you only have one chance."

At the same time, a constantly changing countdown also appeared on the heads-up display. Ke Lan glanced at it, and it clearly read: There are still 8,725 time units until the support fleet opens fire.

There are many time units in Alpha Civilization. The one shown here is a relatively small unit. One unit is almost equal to one-tenth of a second in the human world.

[P.S. For the convenience of reading, all units of measurement mentioned later, including time, speed, mass, length, etc., will be converted into units used in the real human world. Please do not argue about why alien civilizations also use human time. Unit, you can understand that it is the protagonist who translates these things in his mind into concepts that people on earth can understand...]

Just as Ke Lan exhaled and inhaled, the number had jumped dozens of times, and the voice kept urging Ke Lan: "You are now 24,486 meters away from the Crown of Ashes. After calculating the standard data of this aircraft and combining it with the surrounding terrain, the maximum maneuvering speed you can reach is 120 kilometers per hour. It will take about 12 minutes to reach the Crown of Ashes at full speed, so please pay attention to the time."

"Stop pressing me, I got it." Ke Lan said with some displeasure, turned around and started running towards the Crown of Ashes.

Although the surface of this asteroid is full of criss-crossed rivers of magma, there are still many isolated islands that can be used to settle in these magma rivers - these islands are formed by the accumulation of minerals with higher melting points. Yes, the stability is not bad. Using these isolated islands as a springboard, Ke Lan manipulated the metal colossus to continuously approach the Crown of Ashes.

But in the process, all the black beetles gathered in the surrounding craters were attracted by Ke Lan - he had only traveled less than two kilometers, and there was already a large black beetle following behind him. From the looks of it, there must be at least five or six hundred of them.

Although the individual strength of these beetles is not very good, they are still very annoying in large numbers. For Ke Lan, he has no extra time to waste on these bugs.

So, he kicked hard on the ground and jumped directly into the air at the same height as the insect swarm. Turning around, the plasma charging cannon shot out a ball of blue plasma without warning - this ball of plasma Flying into the swarm of insects, like a piece of eraser sweeping across the canvas, a large blank area suddenly appeared in the middle of the swarm.

Ke Lan actually used the recoil of the plasma cannon to float back nearly a hundred meters, and landed steadily on a rock raised in the magma river.

The spare ammunition of the plasma-charged cannon in the heads-up display is still "unlimited", but a new data of "barrel durability" has been added. This is a backward progress bar. The number above the progress bar tells Ke Lan that this gun The barrel still has 85% durability left.

At first, Ke Lan thought that each shot would consume 5% of the barrel's durability, but after a few seconds, the progress bar actually jumped a small square to the right, and the durability recovered from 85% to 86%.

"Can it actually repair itself?" Ke Lan was a little surprised. It seems that as long as the energy of the body is not exhausted, this plasma-charged cannon can indeed fire infinitely, as long as a certain time interval between shots is maintained.

If you wait for the cooldown to complete before firing every time, the durability consumption rate will be much greater than the recovery rate. When the durability drops to a certain level, the entire cannon will probably be scrapped.

This reminded Ke Lan of the Gatling cannon on a helicopter when he was playing a certain war game - that thing had no remaining bullet count, only a temperature tank. If the player held down the left button and didn't let go, the gun would quickly recharge. The Triling cannon will be unable to fire due to overheating, but if short bursts are continuously fired, the temperature tank will hardly rise, and it is possible to achieve unlimited fire suppression while maintaining a certain rate of fire.

"I just don't know how much remaining energy this machine has..."

The armor-piercing sword uses an external power supply, so it is clear at a glance how many energy crystals are left. However, the body of this metal colossus does not show the remaining energy data, which makes Ke Lan feel a little uncomfortable. ——What if this metal colossus suddenly loses power in the middle of the trial?

As if to answer his inner question, the voice rang in his ears again: "The Blasphemer mecha has its own external energy collection system. Considering the environment of the 'Ashes' asteroid, as long as the mecha and By maintaining contact with the ground, energy losses can be continuously replenished.”

"You have unlimited power as long as your feet stay on the ground, right?" Ke Lan was stunned, "This design is indeed awesome, but I'm curious about why this mecha is called 'The Blasphemer'... What do you think? Isn’t the belief in the great god extremely pious? You know, in medieval Europe, if someone dared to give his carriage such a name, the Inquisition would probably nail him to a cross and roast him in a matter of minutes... Give this The guy who named the mecha has a big problem."

The voice did not answer Ke Lan, but repeated the countdown to support the attack and Ke Lan's remaining distance like a repeater, and asked Ke Lan to "pay attention to the time."

"Avoiding it, right?...I suddenly became curious. Is your trial program smart? Can you communicate? Are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?" Ke Lan asked one after another.

"The answer was not found in the permissioned database and cannot be answered." The voice replied.

Is the trial program an existence similar to artificial intelligence? Ke Lan couldn't help but mutter in his heart, but he was very interested in the database mentioned by the other party. If he could get this database, many problems could be solved...

It’s also thanks to my ability to have Alpha language. Otherwise, even if someone else gets the things in the database, they won’t be able to interpret them at all...

Wait a minute!

Ke Lan was startled. He suddenly thought of something!

He is not the only one who can read the language of Alpha Civilization, the founder of the heretical sect can also... If this database falls into his hands, wouldn't it...

"Can you tell me... what is in the jar that was taken away by the intruder on the stone platform outside the trial area?"

"One of three living data storage devices, which contains one-third of the database." The voice replied.

really!
