Alien Relic Hunter

"It's really you!" Lieutenant General Maginot seemed to have forgotten that the helicopter was hovering in the sky and stood up from his seat. "Why are you here? And, what on earth is this thing? You, you Are you in this...in this 'battleship' now?"

"General Maginot, I think I have to remind you that this is a public channel." Ke Lan said softly.

"Everyone can hear our conversation," he added.

"Uh..." Maginot was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to switch channels, but found that he had no idea how to establish communication with Ke Lan other than the unencrypted public channel.

The ship identification code of "Yagunaktor" is ZZZ999, but this is only a temporary code. Levi checked with the computer at hand. This code was indeed in the field army's combat sequence, but it had just been added three minutes ago. Except for the code name "Yagunaktor", all the information was It's blank.

He raised his head, nodded to Lieutenant General Maginot, and then shook his head.

The nod means that there is nothing wrong with what Ke Lan said. This exaggeratedly large "battleship" is indeed here to support the friendly forces at Mukach Base. There is no problem with the ship identification code and operation number. The Ark Bian has also confirmed the identity of this "battleship". And then he shook his head because he couldn't find any information about this "battleship" at all, and he couldn't contact Ke Lan through any means other than public channels.

But fortunately, the erosion seeds and giant centipedes that invaded the base have been eliminated, so this matter is not rushed... But Levi always feels that even after this matter is over, it may be difficult for them to figure out these problems. The answer...maybe, they will have to sign a "hush agreement" that is more than ten pages thick.

At the same time, the soldiers in the base who had recovered from the shock began to ask each other, wondering if anyone had ever heard of this name or seen this... "battleship".

"Ke Lan?" the warrant officer muttered the name silently, "The new Lieutenant General Maginot who just arrived seems to know him... and he said he is Ke Lan from the God Hunting Group... The God Hunting Group ?Isn’t he a soldier, but a relic hunter?”

Could it be that this "battleship", which is many times larger than the entire Mukach base, is controlled by a relic hunter?

Is this...what a joke?

Mukah Military Base is an important transportation center at the junction of the four major plains. The soldiers stationed here often see some relic hunters passing by. Warrant officers are not unfamiliar with this profession.

But in his impression, the equipment of most ruin hunters is limited to a level similar to that of elite mercenaries, not to mention that there are many low-level hunters with shabby clothes and sallow faces... Those people simply cannot be called ruin hunters. Call them It would be more appropriate to call them "scavengers".

This kind of "scavengers" basically do not have the ability to independently explore ruins. They can only follow other hunters, pick up some garbage left by others and take it back to exchange for a few dollars. If they are lucky, they can also eat some leftovers. Zhi, Tangtangshuishui, if you are not very lucky, you can basically only do some hard work for other hunters in exchange for some hard-earned money.

Being able to work is not the worst thing. Some hunters who borrowed loan sharks to buy equipment even had to sacrifice their own lives in exchange for money in order to repay their debts... For example, they would clear the way for those high-level hunters who cherished their lives, and use their bodies to explore the ruins. agency...

It's not that he looks down on relic hunters, but Warrant Officer always has an indescribable feeling of disgust towards this profit-oriented profession.

Of course, there are elites in the hunting group, who are so well-equipped that even the agents of the Security Bureau cannot match them. But no matter how well-equipped they are, a suit that can last from head to toe only costs a million, and the cost can easily reach tens of billions. Compared with the warships, it is simply a thousand miles away.

Compared with the warships costing tens of billions to build in front of this guy, they are even more than one hundred and eighty thousand miles away. The main warships of the Ark Fleet, in front of this big guy, are at best the kind of things that are put on the table. A plastic model of an ornament...

How could a relic hunter possess such a thing?

Could it be that... this battleship was made by the Alpha civilization, and was dug out of the ruins by this ruin hunter named "Ke Lan"? !

The warrant officer himself was shocked by his own idea - fortunately, this relic hunter still obeys the control of Ark. If he chooses to join the camp of the heretic sect or simply establish his own business, the consequences are simply unimaginable...

The warrant officer was thinking about these things as he walked out of the alley, but he happened to bump into several soldiers carrying a man out of a dormitory building with only the bottom floor remaining.

The warrant officer took a closer look and saw that these soldiers were all his subordinates. They were the team he had returned to the camp to rescue, but he was the only one who did not see Sergeant McCarthy leading the team.

"Where's McCarthy?" As soon as he asked, he realized that these people were carrying McCarthy who was seriously injured and unconscious.

McCarthy's right leg was cut off at the root. Even though emergency treatment was done to stop the bleeding, blood still seeped out from under the gauze and dripped to the ground.

"Warrant Officer? Why are you here?"

"Answer my question first, what happened to McCarthy?" the warrant officer continued to ask.

"Sergeant McCarthy is injured. We plan to send him to a medical point!" a soldier replied.

"How did you get injured?" Looking at the blood on the hands of the soldiers, the warrant officer looked stern and asked in a nervous tone.

"He was injured by a mutant... Fortunately, our reinforcements killed that monster, er, I mean that thing in the sky... Otherwise, our entire team would probably have to be found here."

"Injured by a mutant?" The warrant officer subconsciously took out the pistol loaded with active ammunition.

"Warrant Officer! Wait! Don't shoot!" A medic with a snake staff logo on his shoulder rushed forward and stood in front of McCarthy. "Sergeant McCarthy was not infected. The first time he was injured, , I performed amputation surgery for him!”

"Where is the injured part?" the warrant officer asked coldly.

"It's the ankle. The mutant's tentacles had barbs on them, and they hooked Sergeant McCarthy's ankle and dragged him to the ground. Just when we thought Sergeant McCarthy was about to be killed, the mutant "My body suddenly collapsed." The medical soldier recounted the situation, but the barbs on the tentacles pierced the combat boots and penetrated into Sergeant McCarthy's flesh. I was worried that the sergeant was infected. , just amputated his entire leg. "

"The ankle was injured and the leg was amputated immediately at the base of the leg. The whole process only took a few minutes at most. The spread of the invading cells should not be that fast..." the warrant officer thought to himself, "But the one who attacked McCarthy was a mutant. The mutant The planted cells cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes, and there is a high risk of parasitism..."

"This way." The warrant officer put away his gun and said to the medic, "Don't send him to the medical station, send him to the 'Seed of Corrosion Container Processing Department', explain the details to the people there, and ask them to report it to McCarthy Do a detailed examination. Oh, yes, you guys, everyone who has had direct or indirect contact with McCarthy's body and blood should also undergo a detailed examination, and then report to the isolation area by yourself, and return after seventy-two hours. After an inspection, if there are no problems, you will be allowed to return to the team."

"Seventy-two hours? But, Warrant Officer, there is no battle yet..."

"The battle is over." The warrant officer raised his head, glanced at the "Yagunaktor" suspended in the air, and repeated, "The battle is over... Even if it's not over yet, it's not something we can interfere with. to the extent.”

"Uh... Warrant Officer, I seem to have heard someone say that our reinforcements... are not regular troops, but relic hunters?" the medic lowered his voice slightly and said.

"This matter is not our responsibility... But whether he is a relic hunter or something else, at least he saved us and the entire base." The warrant officer said seriously, "Okay, send McCarthy over quickly, and then If you drag him on, he will bleed dry."

"What about you, Warrant Officer?" the medic asked.

"I...I'll go to the first blocking line to have a look." the warrant officer replied.

"There's no one alive there anymore."

"I know."

…

…

On the other side, Maginot and Levi began to organize their men to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded. With the "Yagunaktor" "holding down the formation" above the base, they did not need to worry about the second wave of attacks from the heretical sect. They even There is no need to rush to seal the collapsed wall immediately.

Of course, the huge pit is still a restricted area, and all soldiers have received orders not to approach it - except for one group: the molten mine area reconnaissance team that just came out of "Aguna Kotor".

Everyone in the reconnaissance team, except Ke Lan, had landed on the ground at this time - they didn't even need to go through the long tunnel. Ke Lan opened a portal for them directly in the power room. Send them to the outside of the battleship, and then use a transportation tool similar to an "anti-gravity elevator" to let them land safely on the ground.

"It's much more convenient to come out than to go in." Hound said with a smile, "It's really convenient to send something like this. It would be great if the guys at the institute could imitate it."

"Even if we could build it, we wouldn't be able to use it at all." Ke Lan's voice sounded in the team channel, "The energy consumption of this device is so great that you can't even imagine... You know, this battleship absorbs enough energy at the bottom of the magma pool. With enough geothermal energy for ten thousand years, it can only be used about two thousand times for transmission over this distance."

"In other words, after five years of soaking in a magma bath, you can use one teleportation, right?" Leighton thought, "But from the power room to the outside of the battleship, it has to be a distance of more than ten kilometers. This consumption is not exaggerated. ."

"Can it be teleported further?" The Hound asked again, "For example, can you teleport me directly back to the Ark?"

"No." Ke Lan replied, "The teleportation function can only be used inside the battleship or within a range of less than one kilometer from the battleship...If it exceeds this range, the battleship's own protection device will not be able to take effect on the teleportation object."

"Protective device? What will happen if this protective device is not used?" The hound was a little curious.

"It's like you were sucked into a black hole wearing only a pair of big underpants." Layton answered for Ke Lan.

"Then will I be able to time travel?" Hound scratched his head, "I was bored and read some online novels before. The protagonists in them were sucked into a black hole. Wouldn't they all travel to a parallel world? There is a parallel world in which there are only women and men in the world. There is only one protagonist, hehe, it would be great if I could travel to this kind of world."

"You can travel through time... Do you still remember how many people died when the Ark passed through the wormhole? The physical body entered the black hole, and before you even got close to the edge of the black hole, your body was broken down into tiny particles that were invisible to the naked eye..." Okay It was easy to seize the opportunity, so naturally Layton would not let it go and complained about the hound.

"Moreover, even if there is such a parallel world, you will only be captured by those women and used as a research object... just like a guinea pig in a glass bottle." Ivan also added a stab.

"Hey, wasn't I just joking? I managed to escape death once, and you guys still took me seriously when I said a few jokes." The hound said with a smile, while picking out a big lump of nose from his nostrils. Shit, when Layton wasn't paying attention, he smeared it on his butt.

"Although long-distance teleportation is not possible, I just checked and it seems that this battleship is equipped with a jump device." Ke Lan said, "It just consumes too much energy. If you want to launch a jump, you must at least be in a magma pool. Soak for tens of thousands of years."

"Jump device? It's the kind of thing that can accelerate objects to above the speed of light and can jump even if there is no natural wormhole?" Layton was stunned for a moment, "I heard that a group of people in the institute have been tinkering with this thing. It seems What kind of 'curvature drive' is used to break the limit that the speed of light cannot break, but the curvature drive must first have the ability to fold space... and it will have a permanent impact on the trajectory..."

The principle of the curvature drive engine is to expand the "curvature" of the universe itself to accelerate objects - just like the limit speed of a car traveling on a flat surface is 100 kilometers per hour, but if the road is changed to a direction Down the slope or simply vertical, then on this special road, this car can easily exceed the original speed limit.

[P.S. Thanks to the self-proclaimed Fulmo Cannon for the 1,500 starting coins; thank you Mr. Hanhan for the 100 starting coins. (This guy said yesterday that he rewarded 200 coins instead of 100 coins. In fact, the backend was stuck. Only one reward record was displayed, the starting point was pot orz.)]

[P.P.S. Again, all the content in this book that involves professional knowledge, such as jumps, teleportation, wormholes, curvature drive engines, etc., is purely nonsense from the author. Please do not take it seriously and do not compare it with anything in the real world. The things with the same name fit right in. Reading the novel is just for fun, and it would be boring to argue with each other. 】
