Alien Relic Hunter

Following the traces on the ground, the reconnaissance team moved forward steadily along the wall on the right side of the power room.

The further he walked, the deeper the marks on the ground became, which were formed by heavy equipment rolling over for a long time. Ke Lan could even imagine what this power room looked like when it was once filled with various scientific research equipment.

"I'm wondering if the Alpha people lost the battle and deliberately sank this battleship in this place in order to prevent it from being captured by the enemy?" Leighton muttered, "As a result, the Alpha civilization was later The clan was exterminated, so this super battleship was forgotten here?”

"Impossible." Hound vetoed, "This is a battleship, not a 'tinder ship' used to preserve the foundation. It's a life-and-death situation. Do you still have a trump card and plan to use it in the next life? Besides, , this ancient warship was not originally built by the Alpha civilization. I am afraid they themselves have not thoroughly studied the technology inside it. What is the use of hiding it... Maybe the enemy who destroyed them built this A third civilization with a battleship, that would be interesting.”

"To take a step back, even if they want to hide this battleship in order to make a comeback." Ke Lan took over the words and said, "Then do you think that a civilization that can destroy the Alpha people will not be able to find this sunken ship?" The battleship in the magma...even us earthlings have found it. Isn’t that civilization’s exploration ability worse than that of earthlings?”

"Unless it's the kind of civilization where the technology tree is crooked..." Ivan said half-jokingly, "Everyone is like Superman in superhero movies, crushing opponents purely by physical strength, and can blow them up with one punch. If a battleship swallows a planet alive and tears out a wormhole with your hands, it is possible that you are just not interested in the development of science and technology."

As he spoke, Dr. Mao Zi shrugged and made a funny expression: "I have only seen this kind of setting in ancient fantasy novels. How can one breath and one breath be enough to break the galaxy, and lift up the road with one hand and one foot?" Turned into a fan... I quite liked this kind of novel when I was a kid, but now that I think about it, it’s really embarrassing and funny.”

"Hey, maybe that great god worshiped by the Alpha people really has this kind of ability -" Before Layton could finish his words, the Valkyrie One who was opening the way at the front suddenly stopped, and he almost almost He bumped into the mecha's butt.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Layton immediately drew out his weapon and carefully leaned out half of his body from the side of the machine. Others in the team also had similar reactions.

"There are strange symbols on the ground." Valentina's voice sounded in the team channel. She controlled the mecha and moved out of the way.

"Symbol?!" Leiton took the lead and stepped forward. He just glanced at the ground, then stood up immediately, turned his head and looked at Ke Lan.

"It's alpha text!"

As a relic hunter who has been dealing with this kind of things all year round, although Layton cannot understand the content of Alpha text, he can still distinguish the characteristics of this type of text - as for Valentina, who has just entered the industry, she is not yet ready. , it can only be seen that this is some kind of symbol with special meaning.

"Ke Lan, come here quickly and take a look!" Leiton greeted immediately.

This is the first time they have discovered text messages left by Alpha civilization inside "Yagunaktor", and there happens to be a "special talent" like Ke Lan in the team who can read Alpha text.

How do you say that idiom? Layton muttered... Yes! That's the one - "God help me!"

Ke Lan walked up quickly. He just glanced at the words that looked like ghostly drawings, and his whole breath was suffocated. Fortunately, this time he reacted in time and did not let Aya who was following behind notice him. to the problem.

If these strings of alpha characters are to be translated into Chinese, they can be simplified into three characters.

Control-Control-Taiwan!

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Ke Lan's heart, that "you can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it"... This console was found by him just like that?

He turned back and glanced at the other team members. Aya and the several agents under him all had blank expressions on their faces, while Hound and the others had a hint of inquiry hidden in their slightly expectant eyes. The meaning - they also wanted to know immediately what these alpha words meant, but due to the presence of "outsiders", they couldn't speak directly.

Except for a few people in the Hunting God Hunting Group, the Security Bureau agents did not know that Ke Lan had the ability to read Alpha text, and Ke Lan was not willing to kill all these people - if he did, then he and What's the difference between those people from the heretical sect?

"I have seen this string of characters before." Ke Lan thought about it and changed his statement.

"Have you seen it?" Aya was stunned and quickly asked, "Where is it?"

"In the core control area of ​​a B-class ruins, on the central control hub, there is a string of characters. The style and order of the individual characters... If I remember correctly, they should be exactly the same." Ke Lan began to show off his acting skills .

"You mean...the mechanism that controls this power room is located right here?" Aya widened her already big eyes, "But...there is nothing here? Moreover, the Alpha Civilization Even if the words look exactly the same, their meanings will be very different!"

Now there's trouble... Hearing the second half of Aya's words, Ke Lan licked the roof of his mouth with his tongue in annoyance, thinking about how he could get rid of this matter.

He originally thought that a public servant like Aya who was busy performing various tasks all day long would not know much about Alpha writing, but who knew that she actually knew a lot about these things - you know, 99% of the things on the Ark People all know that Alpha text cannot be deciphered, but no one can tell the specific reason.

The text of Alpha Civilization is just like an encrypted document. The "ghost symbols" that humans can see are actually just the password to open the file, and the content contained in the file has nothing to do with the password. not related.

These passwords are as if they were shaken out with a random number generator. There are no rules or rules at all - for example, the same string of "123456" passwords may be entered this time, and the opened file will read " Hey, good afternoon, have you eaten?", the next time you enter the same password, it will open another document, and it will become "Eat, eat it raw, I'm sorry."

This thing doesn't make sense to you at all, so using human logical thinking, it is almost impossible to decipher the language of Alpha Civilization.

The ability Ke Lan obtained is actually more like a "universal key", which can directly see the "essence" hidden inside the characters through the "appearance".

This should not be said to be a kind of text, but should be regarded as a higher-level information carrier.

"Ah..." Ke Lan wanted to say that this might be a coincidence, but the probability of this coincidence was so low that even he found it difficult to believe it.

"Although I don't think the control room of the power room is here, I think we should explore the surroundings carefully. After all, this is the only text clue we have found so far." Who knows that Ke Lan hasn't thought of his words yet, Aya instead They took the initiative to cooperate.

Thinking about it, even if the clues finally discovered have nothing to do with the console, normal people should be more cautious... Ke Lan secretly thought, it seems that this time, he made a low-level mistake.

Fortunately, this error is not fatal.

The mistake he made was somewhat similar to Park Sang-woo's previous lie - they both fell into preconceived misunderstandings: Ke Lan knew the true meaning of these characters, and in order to let others know it, he He had to make up a reason that seemed untenable now...but in fact, he didn't have to do this at all. He just needs to play dumb and give a little hint. During the subsequent exploration, others will naturally discover the meaning of these characters.

"Damn, I will never make such a low-level mistake again in the future." Ke Lan secretly warned herself in her heart, "Fortunately, Aya didn't think too much about it, and fortunately she is not an enemy of the opposite camp..."

At this time, Aya was already kneeling on the ground. She bent her upper body, her two long legs were slightly apart, and her hands were carefully groping on the ground around the characters.

"The trace analysis program just reported an error. There seems to be something wrong with this floor."

Hearing what Aya said, Ke Lan also focused on the heads-up display. He saw that the calculation data of the analysis software kept jumping back and forth, and a few "ERROR" characters would pop up from time to time.

(Note: ERROR: error)

"What does this mean? Under what circumstances does this software usually report an error?" Ke Lan asked.

"When encountering optical camouflage." Aya replied. Suddenly, her body trembled and her hands stopped moving.

"I found it." She turned around and said to Ke Lan.

"What did you find?" Even when Ke Landang focused on her hand, he saw that the index finger and middle finger of her left hand sank directly into the ground, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted - it looked like It's a model-crossing bug in 3D games, and it's like a negative teaching material for novices in P-pictures.

"Here, there is a groove... covered by optical camouflage. In terms of size... it is five centimeters long and three centimeters wide... just enough to put an energy crystal in!"

"It's an energy supply slot!" Layton reacted immediately.

"Put a crystal in and give it a try." Ke Lan said.

Aya thought for a while, took out a piece of the lowest grade first-class crystal, pointed it at the "invisible" groove, and pressed it down carefully.

Anyway, it is just a first-level crystal. Even if it is another transmission mechanism, the energy inside the crystal is not enough to activate the transmission device.

The moment the energy crystal was pressed into the groove, the ground directly in front of the character suddenly cracked open, and a dark gray stone pillar slowly rose up from the ground.

At the top of this stone pillar, there is a metal sphere the size of a football suspended.

There was a subtle change in the expression on Ke Lan's face - this was not the first time he had seen this thing!

Among the memory fragments that emerged in the abnormal space, Ke Lan only remembered three pictures. The first picture was of the weird square, the second picture was of Park Sang-woo embedding ultra-pure crystals into the grooves on the tunnel wall... and the third picture was of the strange square. The third picture shows a pair of hands pressing on a ball that emits soft white fluorescence.

Although the suspended metal ball in front of him did not emit light, Ke Lan was certain that it was definitely the same thing as the ball he saw in the memory fragments!

As for whether the hands pressing on the sphere were human, he had some doubts - in the first picture, those half-human, half-octopus creatures whose lower bodies were made up of a large mass of tentacles, their bodies above the waist were almost indistinguishable from humans. There is no difference, the hands are naturally the same. Therefore, Ke Lan was not sure whether those hands belonged to humans or those "monsters".

"Is this thing really the console of the power room?" Leighton murmured. He wanted to reach out and touch the metal ball, but the moment he was about to touch it, he Suddenly he turned his head and glanced at Ke Lan, then retracted his hand.

Layton admitted that at that moment, he was scared... After all, only Ke Lan knew what those characters meant. Even if this thing was really a "console", it was Ke Lan who should handle it. Decide.

The most annoying thing in Leighton's life is that laymen who don't know the equipment don't pretend to understand his work, point fingers, and even interfere in self-righteousness - but in this situation, he has become something like that. A layman who doesn’t even understand.

"Ke Lan, do you know what this thing is?" He carefully poked Ke Lan and asked softly.

"It should... be the console we are looking for." Ke Lan deliberately pretended to be uncertain, but secretly, when Aya wasn't paying attention, he gave everyone in the hunting group a look of affirmation.

"Console... Isn't this too coincidental?" Aya looked at the stone pillars and metal balls in disbelief, and then at the characters on the ground, "It's not that... the characters of the Alpha civilization are completely different from each other. Doesn’t it have any reference value?”

"Maybe it's really a coincidence." Ke Lan curled his lips and said, "You should have heard of the 'infinite monkey theory', right? Let countless monkeys hit countless typewriters at will. One day, these monkeys will type Shakespeare. All his works...are just a string of characters that have been used repeatedly. I think the probability is much higher than that of a typing monkey."

"..." Aya flattened her mouth, not commenting on Ke Lan's theory. She stood up and walked around the stone pillar. While looking at the details of the stone pillar, she used the device in her hand to take a full range of images of the stone pillar, and then uploaded it to the tablet.

The height of the stone pillar, including the suspended metal ball, is about 1.30 meters, which can just reach the chest of an adult. This makes people subconsciously want to put their hands on the metal ball.

"This thing is a bit like the 'suspended directional ball' that was popular for a while when we first landed on Alpha Planet. However, that thing was easily disturbed, and its stability was not very good. It was eliminated not long after... until Now, everyone still thinks that the mechanical transmission steering wheel is more reliable." Layton said at the side.

(Note: A directional ball is a device used to control a vehicle instead of a steering wheel. Neta is inspired by Liu's "The Wandering Earth". In the movie, the protagonist and others use this thing to drive.)

【P.P.S. We are the champions! I stayed up late to watch the game until one o'clock yesterday. Even though the last game was a dominant game, I didn't dare to breathe at all. I watched the end cautiously. I held my phone tightly until the base exploded, crying and laughing under the quilt...

About ten minutes later, someone outside the community started shouting "EDGNB". He ran around the community while shouting. His voice became closer and farther away, and then closer and closer. In the end, his voice was hoarse... ...Although I really wanted to shout with him, but I was afraid of disturbing the people and waking up my parents, so I could only lie by the window and whisper quietly: EDG, awesome!

The gold content of this championship is too high. The top four, four teams and three LCK, a total of six S championships, and what does EDG have? The best result was just the top eight... Before the semifinals started, the so-called "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu" was just a joke.

But they did it! Fight all the way through the levels! Breakthrough into the quarterfinals! Top four! finals! champion!

Grass mud horse! It's on fire!

I think of when I was in college. At that time, every year was "the most promising year for LPL", but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I lost again and again, and that kind of "fear of Korea" The atmosphere is something new players who started paying attention to LOL after S8 have never experienced. OMG, EDG, RNG... every time, our team has become the backdrop for the championship.

So much so that this year, almost everyone no longer has hope for the championship...the expectations for the championship trophy...this year can be said to be the lowest in so many years. No one thought they could defeat the devil-like DK. Even a few die-hard EDG fans I knew said that it would be great to reach the finals. As for the championship, just think about it. You can dream, but you can’t be awesome. Blow.

I saw a sentence on social software: "There is nothing to lose, no one expects us to win."

However, the dream came true.

The theme of this S competition seems to be tailor-made for them - no! break! No! stand!

Until now, more than ten hours have passed since the end of the game, I still feel a little bit stunned, as if last night was just a dream. I watch the news over and over again, browse various social media, and tell myself over and over again that a miracle really happened. .

I am a novelist, but to be honest, I don’t even dare to write novels like this!

Novels also need to pay attention to logic... but reality does not require it! No need for a miracle!

Congratulations to EDG for winning the S11 championship!

Yesterday I said that I would update 10,000 per day. The past two days have already been full of updates. The high load of coding caused an attack of tenosynovitis. After today’s update, I should resume the daily update of 4,000 and take a break for a while. But you can rest assured that the update will be added. For those of you who don’t know how to do pigeons, I will try my best to complete 10,000 words within this month!

There is one more thing I want to tell my fellow readers. Although it is worth being happy to win the championship, please also pay attention to the scale when celebrating the victory, do not do excessive behavior, and try to avoid things that will have a negative impact on society. ——I think that everyone who loves e-sports will not want these things to become a reason for criticism by those who regard e-sports as a thorn in their side.

Finally, EDG, NB! ! ! 】
