Alien Relic Hunter

"Your plan is crazy..." Thirty-three looked at Ke Lan with a complicated expression, "But I don't know why, but I actually think it seems feasible... I think I must be crazy too."

"It doesn't seem to be feasible, it is feasible." Ke Lan snapped his fingers, "It's now time, even a dead horse can be used as a living horse doctor, not to mention, this 'horse' in front of me But I haven’t breathed my last yet.”

"Then tell me, what do you need me to do?" Thirty-three clapped his fist hard.

He suddenly felt that all the worries he had just seemed ridiculous... The meaning of his life was to explore those secrets, and now, the truth about this planet was only a dozen kilometers away from them... With "Tentacles" It is no exaggeration to describe it as "and". If he backed down at this time, he felt that he would probably spend the rest of his life regretting it.

Thirty-three is very clear that the rest of his life will not be too long... This special ability to manipulate Nino alloy gives him strong combat power, but it also seriously overdraws his body. Instead of spending a period of barely surviving... It would be better to completely ignite the remaining time than to die in pain one day later... Even if it can only turn into ashes, that is still a good ending.

But if you are lucky, you may be able to ignite a prairie fire.

Vaguely, he could feel that the "cold winter" that could destroy everything was gradually approaching... Human civilization needed such a "fire" so much.

"I need you to go to the power cabin before the thick fog completely submerges it." Ke Lan threw a walkie-talkie with an obviously aged plastic shell to Thirty-three, "This is the Genoa's internal communicator. You need to stick a signal receiver with a magnet anywhere on the inner wall of the battleship where there is an exposed metal structure, and you can establish a simple wired communication circuit."

"Understood." Thirty-three put the communicator on his shoulder, gave Ke Lan an OK gesture, turned around and ran towards the power cabin.

"What about me?" Mo Jue's voice came out from a set of old-fashioned power armor. Because the microphone was not activated, it sounded very dull.

Even if military AI exists, it is still very difficult for one person to control a warship. Ke Lan must use all the people who can use it - even if they have never been exposed to this aspect.

And Ze Luo has also been separated from Ke Lan. Not only that, she has also split into two clones that look completely different from the original body... According to her own words, controlling the original body and two clones at the same time is enough. This is her current limit, otherwise, she alone would be enough to take over all the work.

After Ke Lan joined the Undead Crew Club, he read the combat report of the Leviathan Attack. The flagship of the First Fleet, the "Qilin", dismissed most of the crew before the impact, leaving only the captain of the ship and the first officer. The commander of the fleet and the minimum operating personnel...excluding the pilots who died in the early battles, the total number of people who died in the collision was forty-seven.

Even excluding the captain and commander, the minimum number of people to operate a "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship like the "Qilin" is forty-five.

Of course, the "Genoa" is just a Feiyu-class high-speed support ship, and its operational complexity is definitely not comparable to that of a behemoth like the Yao-class aircraft carrier battleship... But just six of them want to operate this battleship. It's still a big challenge.

"Come to the bridge with me," Ke Lan said to Mo Jue.

Although the data stored in the central control computer of the "Genoa" may deepen Mo Jue's erosion, in this case, Ke Lan can only try to minimize Mo Jue's exposure to some "forbidden knowledge" .

The bridge and power compartment are the two most important parts of an empty ship. They are like the human brain and heart... As for the CIC, although it is equally important, the necessary operators on the bridge cannot be guaranteed. , the priority of CIC is not that high.

Because many of the operations of CIC can actually be handled by AI, which is very similar to the human body. The brain only needs to be responsible for thinking and issuing instructions. As for controlling every muscle and bone, and even Actions such as breathing and heart beating that are carried out all the time can only be left to the brain stem and spinal cord.

The reason why the battleship's CIC needs to be staffed with enough personnel is because the intelligence of AI is actually far less sophisticated than the human body that has evolved for millions of years, and many operations must be manually analyzed and corrected.

But that was in various combat situations where the amount of information was overwhelming. If it was just to simply let the warship fly, the AI ​​of the central control computer would still be fully capable of doing this job.

…

But when Ke Lan arrived at the bridge, he found that the airtight door leading to the bridge was locked.

The red indicator light on the unlocker is still flashing rhythmically, which means that the airtight door is not stuck due to damage, but someone on the other side of the door started the battleship manually. According to emergency procedures, the airtight door was locked on its own initiative.

This emergency procedure is generally activated only when the interior of the battleship is invaded and the bridge control system fails. It is regarded as the last resort for the bridge members to save their lives. After this procedure is activated, not only all cabins leading to the bridge The doors and pipes will be sealed, and four additional half-meter-thick alloy partition walls will be lowered behind the doors, turning the entire bridge into an airtight iron barrel.

After this program is activated, people in the bridge cannot cancel it. They can only choose to wait inside... There are only two results of waiting: one is that the Ark's search and rescue team arrives and uses special verification methods Open the hatch; the other is for the enemy invading the ship to use rough physical means to forcefully break down the hatch and the separation wall behind the door.

When the second situation occurs, the bridge will become the last battlefield for survivors on the battleship.

But...if the enemy has the ability to destroy all the hatches and these four isolation walls, with the firepower of the self-defense weapons equipped by the bridge members...the outcome of the battle can be imagined.

Ke Lan is not a professional rescue team. He does not have the special verification method to open the door. As for the authority of his Undead Crew Club, he must contact the battleship's central control computer before it can be activated. Faced with a person who can only read palm prints, And the iris unlocker is of no use at all.

"Be careful, there may be...'living people' inside." Ke Lan protected Mo Jue behind him, pulled out the engineer shovel inserted into the side of the backpack, flicked it, and unfolded the folded shovel head. .

"'Living person'? Impossible..." Mo Jue glanced at the unlocker with a flashing red light - although she didn't know how to operate a battleship, as a former hell paratrooper, she had spent a lot of time on a battleship. for a period of time. Of course she could also see that the hatch was locked by a manually activated emergency procedure.

"When the emergency procedure is activated, the hatch cannot be opened from the inside... Even if there were survivors on the bridge at that time, after such a long time, they would have starved to death without supplies..." Mo Jue continued.

"Do you think that this hatch was locked when the Genoa crashed for the first time?" The solemn look on Ke Lan's face did not weaken at all.

"Otherwise?" Although Mo Jue did not agree with Ke Lan's statement, she still picked up her TAC-50 anti-material sniper rifle and pointed the muzzle at the hatch.

The set of power armor she was wearing was found by Ke Lan in the weapons warehouse of the Genoa. However, those equipped combat models need to be verified before they can be activated. This is the only one Mo Jue can wear for the hangar. The ground crew used armor for work, and the only weapon she could use was her own big sniper.

"Ze Luo." Ke Lan did not answer Mo Jue's question directly, but glanced at Ze Luo.

The clone on Ze Luo's left hand side immediately stepped forward and placed its white palm on the hatch that was stained with peeling paint.

"This hatch fell twenty-five minutes and forty-two seconds ago." Ze Luo said to Ke Lan and Mo Jue expressionlessly.

"In other words, the manual emergency procedure was activated twenty-five minutes ago." Ke Lan showed a half-smiling expression, "Calculating the time, it should be exactly when we broke into the battleship and killed the corroded body. When the corpse was subdued. Obviously, the guy in the bridge saw our strength through the monitoring equipment in the corridor, and he...or, 'it', was scared..."

Mo Jue curled his lips and whispered: "Okay... But even so, I don't think there are 'living people' in the bridge... It would be more accurate to use 'living monsters' to describe them, right?" "

"Don't just call others monsters... They are our compatriots, and they were once just like us. Even after the 'humanity' has been eroded, there are still some traces left. The pollution cannot be passed back to the Ark and back to humans. The obsession of the world, he is a respectable soldier... Moreover, we have not been attacked by the ship's defense weapons after entering the battleship, which shows that the other party does not want to harm us."

As he spoke, Ke Lan glanced at Mo Jue's forehead, which was covered by the power armor helmet: "Even if you really turn into those weird looks, I will still remember what you looked like as a human being... As long as you change from If you still think you are a human being in your heart, then no one has the right to call you a monster."

"Are you trying to comfort me?" Mo Jue glanced at Ke Lan from the corner of his eye, with a complicated look on his face, but his tone was slightly slower.

"I'm actually trying to comfort myself, do you believe it?" Ke Lan smiled and shrugged, "Besides, do you think Ze Luo is a 'monster'?"

"I just think she... looks like a loser." Although Mo Jue has not been in contact with the people of the Hunting God Hunting Group for too long, it is generally accepted in the hunting group that she has successfully assimilated her - Ze Luo's abilities have already It can no longer be described with the word monster. Only cheating players in video games can have similar power.

Moreover, it must be the kind of unreasonable and violent hanging. As for perspective, head locks, etc., those are not qualified.

"Okay, the chat is over." Ke Lan waved the engineer shovel in his hand slightly, "Our time is very tight, and I am too lazy to find other ways to enter the bridge."

"Are you planning to force the door open?" As soon as Mo Jue asked, Ze Luo's clone's palm pressed against the hatch without any warning.

The airtight door made of high-strength alloy seemed to have turned into soft mud, and was suddenly pressed in...

"Wait a minute! Breaking the door forcefully will trigger the automatic defense device!" Mo Jue couldn't help but remind him, "Back up! There is no bunker here..."

At the same time as she reminded, dozens of openings had been opened in the ceiling of the corridor. Dozens of fully automatic cannons and laser cutters poked out of these openings. Dozens of red aiming lasers instantly stayed on top of them. on the individual.

Mo Jue subconsciously wanted to raise the shield, but the moment she raised her arm, she realized that what she was wearing now was just a piece of work armor without any weapons, and even the armor could not cover the whole body, instead of the armor that was once equipped for Hell. The kind of cutting-edge power armor that paratroopers are armed to the teeth with.

The anti-material sniper rifle in her hand can destroy a fully automatic cannon, but it cannot resolve the current crisis at all——

"We don't need bunkers." Ke Lan raised his hand, and his movements were as if he was commanding these automatic defense devices - the cannons spit out long tongues of flame at the same time, and dense barrages were directed at them. Pour down.

But an invisible umbrella was held above their heads. No matter how fast the bullets rained, they could not break through the barrier formed by this umbrella cover.

"Don't forget that there are cheaters among us. You just said it yourself." Ke Lan turned to Mo Jue and smiled, "This thing is much better than an energy shield."

The next second, all the fully automatic cannons that were firing were disintegrated, and metal parts of all sizes were scattered everywhere. As for the laser transmitters, their charging devices were destroyed from the beginning. Couldn't get the laser out.

Ze Luo's clone began to walk forward. Her body seemed slender and weak, but the hatch made of high-strength alloy appeared even weaker in front of her - Mo Jue even had an illusion: she felt that the door It doesn't look like it's made of alloy, it looks like it's made of chocolate.

The process of using a heated metal mold to print patterns on chocolate is exactly the same as this.

A petite humanoid passage soon appeared on the hatch. Ze Luo waved his hand again, instantly expanding the passage enough for Ke Lan and Mo Jue to pass through.
