Alien Relic Hunter

If it were a war of attrition... Yagunaktor would not necessarily be at a disadvantage. Given that it had absorbed energy reserves for so many thousands of years in the magma pool, even if the undead crew would drain all the energy of the entire ark. Even if they are not used to supply this black fleet, it is impossible to break Yagunaktor's energy shield.

But being beaten so passively is not a situation that Ke Lan wants to see. The key is that he doesn't know what kind of back-ups the undead crew will have - they obviously know that the black fleet cannot break Yagunaktor's defense. Yes, in this case, why would you choose to do useless work?

This is not like the behavior of the Undead Crew. Perhaps their real purpose is not necessarily to seize control of Yagunaktor.

Rather than wait for the undead crew to advance their plan step by step, Ke Lan would rather choose to take the initiative.

Anyway, it was almost time to break up with the undead crew. Although the officers and soldiers on this black fleet were only following orders, to ensure the safety of the hounds and others, Ke Lan had no choice but to kill them.

Looking at this fleet with the main color being black, he couldn't help but think of the black-clad troops that rushed in to "spoil the situation" in the second half of the raid on the Nova Chamber of Commerce... Although it seemed a bit awkward to connect the two by just relying on color. Far-fetched, but at least one thing is certain. Whether it is the black fleet or the soldiers wearing black unmarked combat uniforms, they are forces that the undead crew will cultivate in secret. No one will know about them before they are put into use. existing.

Even Kuroi's archives don't have any information on these troops.

"It's time to fight back." Ke Lan searched Yagunaktor's weapons arsenal through neural connections - however, the situation in the weapons arsenal was exactly the same as the last time he browsed. All weapons that require energy are "reserves" There is not enough energy to activate", while weapons that need to be prepared have "zero ammunition remaining".

Except for the "bio-organic matter extractor" that was used to kill the erosion seeds and heretical sect members last time, there are few remaining tools suitable for use as weapons.

There are very few "tools" suitable for use as weapons. To use them, it would be better to hit Agunaktor directly...

"Should we use the primary extractor again?" Ke Lan weighed in his mind - in principle, he didn't actually want to kill all the people on this black fleet. The best way to deal with it was to ensure that no one was injured as much as possible. Under such circumstances, the combat capabilities of these battleships will be abolished... But the effect of the "bioorganic matter extractor" is exactly the opposite: it is only effective on living organisms and will not cause any damage to the battleships.

Even if Ke Lan kills all the crew members of the Black Fleet, the Undead Crew Association should be able to continue to allow the Black Fleet to launch attacks through remote control.

Ke Lan is not the Holy Mother, and he will not show any mercy when he needs to kill people...but he is still resistant to meaningless killings, and even a little disgusted.

These soldiers are all chess pieces on the chessboard, and Ke Lan himself is also a chess piece, but they are pawns who can only rush forward blindly under orders and cannot look back, and Ke Lan has already rushed to the bottom of the chessboard on the opposite side. In that column, Sheng became an "elite pawn".

(Note: Ascension is one of the rules of chess. When the pawn reaches the bottom, he can choose to advance into any kind of chess piece except the "king".)

But he is still a pawn.

He is still a chess piece on the chessboard, and has not been able to jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player.

There is another thing in the tool list, which seems to have extremely terrifying destructive power - the "celestial rock base cutter". According to the description given by the battleship system, it is the kind that can cut the crust of a planet's surface. It is a tool that can be used to fuse fuel into neat and square pieces...but although this thing can be used, after using it, all the remaining energy of Yagunaktor will be drained, and even the energy shield cannot be maintained. Went down.

"Tsk... Looking at it this way, it seems that we really have no choice but to hit it..."

Just when Ke Lan was about to let Agunak Tol move forward, four mass-produced fallen angels equipped with large thrusters suddenly flew directly above Agunak Tol.

These four mass-produced Fallen Angels are carrying a twenty-meter-square metal box together. There is an outer frame equipped with an anti-gravity device around the box, which keeps the metal box in a suspended state within the frame.

And the four mass-produced Fallen Angels did not dare to increase the power of the thrusters to the extreme like they did when they broke into the Zero Fleet. Instead, they kept the "cargo" as stable as possible.

These four mass-produced Fallen Angels feel like they are carefully holding a bomb that will explode at any time, for fear of accidentally dropping it...

However, with all the anti-aircraft weapons in Yagunakol in a "disabled state", Ke Lan could only watch helplessly as these four aircraft escorted what seemed to be a bomb to a distance from Yagunakol. The top of Thor's energy shield is less than a kilometer away.

"What could this be? A hydrogen bomb? No... The power of the hydrogen bomb is amazing, but compared with Yagunaktor's energy shield, it's still not enough... and the energy released when the hydrogen bomb explodes is not only indestructible On the contrary, part of Yagunaktor's shield will be absorbed by Yagunaktor and turned into Yagunaktor's own energy." Ke Lan murmured to himself, "Look This thing is most likely found from the Alpha ruins. At worst, it is a secret weapon created using the technology of the Alpha civilization..."

"Could it be an anti-matter bomb?" Layton, who had returned to Yagunaktor and was observing the outside world through the monitoring screen, suddenly came up with an idea, "There are many abandoned death ray cannons on Alpha Planet, some of which There should be some antimatter stored inside the death ray cannon. If the undead crew can extract the antimatter and make it into a bomb, it can be regarded as a big killer weapon."

Even the ancient behemoths like Leviathan hated the concentrated fire of the death ray cannon, and ordinary targets really couldn't withstand the attack of anti-matter weapons.

But the problem is... Yagunaktor is not a "general target".

The destructive power of antimatter mainly comes from annihilation, but for the convenience of understanding, Ke Lan prefers to change "annihilation" to "neutralization" - antimatter actually has mass, but this mass is a negative number. When it is matter, a neutralization phenomenon called "annihilation" will occur between the two, and in this process, extremely terrifying energy will be released.

But this energy still cannot break the shield of Yagunak Tor. When he first discovered Yagunak Tor, Ke Lan used mathematical models to make calculations, using various existing weapons and Yagunak Tor. Thor's defensive power is relatively relatively high - which naturally includes the "death ray cannon" that sank a battleship with one shot.

However, the final conclusion is that the death ray cannon cannot penetrate the shield of "Aguna Kotor" - unless the Alpha civilization can increase the amount of antimatter released by a single shot of the death ray cannon by more than 120 times. , but in that case, the difficulty of storing these "cannonballs" will be greatly increased... At this time, the death ray cannon should not be called the death ray cannon. It should be directly renamed the "Star Destroyer Cannon".

This level of antimatter can never be placed in a cube box with a side length of twenty meters...unless high-level space technology was used in the manufacture of this box.

But if it is really a box that uses space technology for storage, then these mass-produced Fallen Angels do not need to be so careful, and there is no need to add a floating frame for stability to the outside of the box.

What exactly could it be?

Ke Lan did not continue to speak, and Layton and others also fell silent. Everyone on the battlefield, including the commanders and crews of the Zero Fleet that had left the battlefield, focused their attention on this mass-produced fallen angel. It was on top of a metal box that was very large, but so small that it was almost negligible to Yagunaktor.

Finally, the four mass-produced Fallen Angels simultaneously turned off the anti-gravity devices on the outer frames. The metal box that lost its buoyancy suddenly fell downwards. During the fall, the outer shell of the metal box also began to disintegrate on its own, exposing the inside. s things.

It was a huge polygonal energy crystal, with a volume of more than a thousand cubic meters. Judging from its color, it should be the highest-grade energy crystal...

"Crystal energy bomb?" Layton in front of the screen was stunned for a moment, "A crystal energy bomb of this mass and quality... is indeed terrifying, but in terms of power, it is probably not as good as antimatter, right?"

"No...it's not a crystal energy bomb." Ke Lan objected immediately. Compared with the "broadcast screen" seen by Layton and others, Ke Lan, who was directly connected to Yagunaktor's nerves, could see it more clearly - - He noticed that the interior of this giant energy crystal was filled with dense crystal circuit structures!

The next second, the giant energy crystal exploded, and a circle of faint blue ripples rippled out.

The energy shield covering Yagunaktor flickered a few times and disappeared!

"What's going on?" Hound and the others were shocked, "This thing... just blew up the shield?"

Ke Lan was also surprised by the effect of this giant energy crystal - but he soon discovered that the disappearance of Yagunaktor's energy shield was not because the shield generator was overloaded or because the energy was exhausted, but because the shield The energy supply line of the shield generator was blocked by a mysterious force. Energy could not flow, and the shield could not be maintained.

"It's a jammer! This thing interfered with Yagunaktor's shield generator!" Ke Lan immediately told the hounds and others about the situation, "I don't know how long it will take for the shield generator to recover, and I don't know the other party. Is there a second jammer... Before the shield is restored, I will try my best to prevent the opponent from boarding the ship, but you must also be prepared for close combat with the enemy!"

"Understood!" Hound nodded vigorously, then turned to Leighton and Zhuoligetu and said, "You two, the young master responsible for protecting the eldest lady and the Ye family, and the others, follow the special emergency regulations on the ship. , whether you are a combatant or not, follow me to the weapons depot to get equipment!"

"Are we...are we going too?" asked a relic hunter standing nearby. This relic hunter was an external employee from the cooperative exploration project. Logically speaking, he was not obliged to participate in the battle.

"If you feel that if you tell the people in the black fleet that you are just ruin hunters and not combatants on this battleship, they will not fire on you, you can choose to give up resistance and I will not care about you." Hound. She glanced at him and said, "But if you want to stab you in the back or fish in troubled waters, I don't mind cleaning you up first."

As soon as he finished speaking, several military mechas surrounded these hunters.

Although these hunters also carry weapons, they are all for self-defense. They have no ability to resist in front of these six-meter military tactical mechas.

"I... of course we choose to work with you... to resist those invaders!" The ruins hunter who spoke at the beginning immediately responded, "I think even if we surrender... they will probably kill us... rather than believe it. A group of unidentified guys, then I would rather believe you... After all, we have been cooperating for such a long time."

In fact, he wanted to ask Hound how long it would take for support from Ark to arrive, but he held back because he was worried that Hound would directly order the mecha to fire in order to avoid further trouble.

Fleet Zero has a chance to retreat, but these ruin hunters on Yagunaktor do not... They are now grasshoppers on a rope with the hounds and others, and they themselves know this very well.

"Wise choice." The hound nodded and ignored the pale guy.

…

Noah's Ark, core area, secret room.

"The shield jammer was launched successfully. Yagunaktor's shield energy flow has been blocked, and the airborne troops will have an eight-hour attack window." said a voice that sounded calm and emotionless. .

"In eight hours, how far do you think you can push Yagunaktor...and him?" asked another voice.

"I don't think it's a problem with what he said. He values ​​the friendship with those people, so he will definitely find ways to let those people survive." A third voice said, "But Yagunaktor's judgment mechanism is It’s hard to say, if the core components are not threatened, that thing may not be activated.”

"Let the airborne troops break into the power room of Yagunaktor directly... The heart was pierced by a spear. I think this should be considered a major threat, right?" This was the fourth voice in the darkness.

"What about the people he met during the raid?" the second voice asked, "especially those he cares about."

"If there is resistance, shoot without mercy." The fourth voice sounded very cold and stern.

"This is not good. We don't want to completely break up with him...at least, not on the surface." The second voice was worried.

"He will definitely understand in the future that the existence of these people can only be regarded as a burden to him." The fourth voice snorted coldly, "Emotions, especially the emotions between people, are the most useless things in the world. thing."

"You are so heartless..." A fifth voice suddenly appeared. This was a specially processed voice. The tone and timbre were very vague, but it could still be heard that it was the only female voice among the five voices. "But have you ever thought about whether he would do something irrational if you angered him now? You know, he is in the Tower of Babel now."
