Alien Relic Hunter

"Are you...are you kidding?" Major General Alexander's face twitched violently several times, and his fingers hovering on the touch screen hesitated for a long time, but still did not click on the "confirm" button.

That's a "god"...attacking the gods with a mortal army...

Even if he described this stupid behavior as "hitting an egg against a stone", Major General Alexander felt that it was a kind of blasphemy against the gods.

In front of that seemingly frail figure, he, a experienced general, could not muster the courage to fight against it... That deep sense of powerlessness and despair was like tens of thousands of meters high. The cliffs collapsed in front of you, huge rocks smashed down on your head, and the entire land was instantly submerged... You can't stop it, and you can't escape...

For soldiers, death is not scary. What is scary is that before death comes, nothing can be done...or, nothing can be done.

"An unknown... humanoid creature appeared on the battlefield." Major General Alexander replied with trembling fingers. He originally wanted to use the title "god", but after thinking about it, he replaced it with "humanoid creature" These four words, "It... He was very powerful and destroyed the black fleet instantly in an incomprehensible way... Even if Fleet Zero pursues Yagunaktor, I am afraid it will face the same fate as the Black Fleet." ending."

Major General Alexander really wanted to ask about the origin of the Black Fleet, but he also knew that now was not the time... In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but this answer had not yet been confirmed by the "official".

However, considering that the Black Fleet did not cause too serious trauma to Fleet Zero, Alexander will not have much hatred for the Undead Crew... But without hatred, it does not mean that he will readily accept this and die. There are no different tasks.

"Fleet Zero cannot complete this mission. I can't let the officers and soldiers carry it out..." Major General Alexander hesitated and changed the 'death mission' to 'impossible mission'. "I can't let the officers and soldiers carry out a mission." An impossible task, that is irresponsible..."

He was just halfway through typing this sentence, and before he even sent it, a new message came from the other side: "You are not responsible for the results of the mission. This is an order from the Undead Crew Association, execute it."

Obviously, the control system of the "New Dawn" is under the supervision of the Immortal Crew Association. Not to mention the words written by Major General Alexander on the screen, even every subtle movement of everyone on the bridge, they All can see clearly.

"But!" Major General Alexander took a breath and murmured, "As long as that 'person' exists, there is no way we can stop Yagunaktor!"

After saying these words, Major General Alexander found that his heart was beating rapidly - this was the first time that he had been so brave and dared to question and resist the orders from the Undead Crew Association over and over again.

Perhaps it was because the "miracle" he had just witnessed shocked him so much that his awe for the Undead Crew Association became much weaker... He thought so.

After all, even the "omnipotent" Immortal Crew Association cannot do such a thing: with a single move, an extremely powerful fleet can be destroyed in an instant... Any normal person would not be able to do that after seeing such a thing. After that, there will be some doubts about the understanding of the world.

"That ability cannot be activated continuously. Now is the only chance for Fleet Zero." The recovery of the Undead Crew Association was very tough. "If you refuse to execute the order, we will directly transfer the control authority of Fleet Zero."

He had no right to refuse at all... Major General Alexander showed a sad smile, bit his back molar forcefully, and then reluctantly pressed the "confirm" button that had been beating for nearly two minutes.

"Understood, Fleet Zero will immediately carry out the mission of pursuing and intercepting Yagunaktor."

"very good."

Communication is interrupted.

The external monitors of the "New Dawn" are still undergoing emergency repairs. Rear Admiral Alexander can only look in the direction of Yagunaktor through the portholes of the bridge - even if the undead crew members are not lying to themselves, that kind of thing is comparable to that of a god. Ji's ability can only be used once in a short period of time... But even without that "person", can Fleet Zero really stop Yagunaktor?

…

Tower of Babel, second floor.

Seeing the huge hull of Yagunaktor slowly turning, Ke Lan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He originally thought that it was absolutely impossible for him to become the second "prophet", but he did not expect that he would eventually reach this point.

Perhaps the prophet chose to betray the Ark and escape to the wilderness just to protect himself... But later, as he learned more and more things, his thoughts naturally changed...

Of course, it is impossible to wash away the things done by the prophet and the heretical sect, but Ke Lan obviously will no longer believe in the Undead Crew...

At least for now, it seems that if the so-called "plan" of the Undead Crew continues, human civilization will not only be unable to survive for a long time, but will instead step on the accelerator and drive at full speed towards the end of destruction.

Perhaps, he should use the power of "Joker" to have a good talk with the undead crew - talk on a truly equal footing, instead of having a meaningless vote.

He at least needs to know how much sanity and humanity the chess players sitting around the chessboard still have...

Yagunaktor, Core Power Room.

"Left full rudder, steering completed." Standing in front of the console, Layton was holding a "rudder" simulated by holographic projection, although he only controlled Yagunaktor through 'physical means' , there is no direct neural connection with this ancient battleship, but as long as it comes into contact with the console, the information flow will involuntarily penetrate into the brain of the contactee... Just turning in one direction, Leiton felt that his head It hurt so much it felt like it was about to burst.

"Enter the predetermined coordinates, the southwest boundary of the Gray Mist Forest, 'N37.63, E81.95', Yagunaktor, advance two."

Layton originally thought that Yagunaktor's engine would accelerate instantly, and was even ready to resist the G-force, but the battleship only trembled, not like an arrow leaving the string as he imagined. Launched.

"What's going on? Is there insufficient energy, or is there something wrong with the engine system?" Leighton asked Ke Lan - although Ke Lan handed over control to him, the detailed status of Yagunaktor was still only Ke Lan can see it himself. Of course, even if Ke Lan wanted to open this kind of authority to others, others would not be able to withstand the huge amount of information that poured into their heads after the neural connection... Even when Ke Lan connected with Yagunaktor for the first time , self-awareness almost collapsed... In the face of that overwhelming information impact, even normal thinking became extremely difficult.

"No, except for the energy shield generator, Yagunaktor's condition is normal." Ke Lan replied, "There is a problem with the surrounding environment."

"The surrounding environment?" Layton was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Space Anchor." Ze Luo's voice appeared in Layton's ears, "The space around Yagunaktor has been locked, as if it was anchored in place. If this space is not If the anchor is untied, even if the engine output is doubled, there will be no escape."

"Space Anchor... Why do I feel like I've heard this thing before?" Just as the hound was talking to himself, Layton, who was controlling Yagunaktor, turned pale and his breathing became heavy. many.

"What's wrong, big guy? Looking at you like this, do you know about this thing?" Hound glanced at Layton and asked.

"Of course I know! This is the technological product of Alpha civilization that was unearthed from the S-class ruins of No. 001 fifty years ago. Its main function is to solidify space... But there are only four items in total, whether it is starting, It’s very difficult to close or transfer, and I didn’t expect the guys from the Undead Crew to even use this thing.”

"Damn, when you said that, I remembered it!" Hound patted his forehead hard - "Space Anchor" is the official name given to this device by the institute, but among the people, there is another name for this thing. A more resounding nickname is called "Dinghai Shenzhen".

This nickname is so famous that many people only know "Dinghaishenzhen" and have no idea about the official scientific name of "Space Anchor"... Although the title "Space Anchor" is used in official documents, this kind of document also It is not something that ordinary residents of the Ark can see. Even hounds with military backgrounds would find it difficult to come into contact with such things.

However, most people, including ordinary people on the Ark, know the existence of the "Dinghai Shenzhen" - the Ark is so huge in size and its mass is extremely amazing. If an object of this mass were parked directly on the surface of the planet, it would definitely sink deep into the ground under the action of gravity. Not only that, the frame structure of the Ark would also become extremely fragile under the huge weight, and even It is possible for it to collapse directly under its own weight without receiving any external attack.

Even in the preparation stage for landing, the advance team sent by Ark had collected a large number of anti-gravity devices and installed them on the Ark in advance. However, according to the calculation results, the gravity that the anti-gravity devices could offset was still not enough to keep Ark on the ground. Conditions for landing on the Alpha star surface.

If the Ark can only stay in the low-Earth orbit of Alpha Star, then whether it is mining and transporting resources on the planet, or dispatching various personnel to various parts of the planet, vehicles with the ability to break through the atmosphere must be used - very Perhaps sending a batch of resources to the Ark would require consuming energy worth several times the value of the items being transported. This is obviously a very uneconomical deal.

This problem was not solved until the four "sea-fixing needles" were discovered.

The four sea-fixing needles are arranged at the core of the structure in the four regions of the Ark, southeast, northwest, and through space solidification to ensure that the main stress-bearing structure of the Ark will not be crushed by gravity. For the Ark and the people living on the Ark, , the functions of these four "space anchors" are exactly the same as the "Dinghai Shenzhen" in Chinese mythology.

However, during the Alexander incident, the main body of the Ark was severely damaged, and one of the four "space anchors" was "empty" - at least, this "space anchor" cannot be dispatched until the main body of the Ark is repaired. It comes in handy.

Ke Lan and the others never expected that this space anchor would appear here.

"What should we do? Can we break free?" the hound asked anxiously.

"It's difficult...Old dog, do you know that in order to save energy, the space anchor on the Ark usually only maintains one to two percent of its output power, but now...it is obvious that we are facing a fully powered one. Space anchor." Layton curled his lips and laughed angrily, "Even if Agunak Tol is equipped with a jump engine, even if the remaining energy is enough for Agunak Tol to start the jump engine, we can't. Escape... I suspect that the space anchor was originally created to counter the jump technology. Now using it to deal with us, hey... it's like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes."

"However," Layton suddenly changed the subject, "To maintain a full-power space anchor, the energy consumption must be an astronomical figure. As long as we can persist until the energy supply of this space anchor is insufficient, this 'cage' will naturally It will disappear."

"How long will this take?" Zofia asked.

"It's hard to say. It could be as little as three to five days, or more...maybe ten days and a half a month." Leighton shrugged.

"Three to five days... Even if the Immortal Crew does not send follow-up troops to attack us, this time is enough to build a permanent energy supply line connecting the Ark. By then, this space anchor will probably be gone for ten days and a half, let alone ten days and a half. It won't be a problem for us to be locked here for a whole year." The hound frowned, "We must find a way to break through it as quickly as possible."

"Breaking through the space anchor... It sounds easy to say, as if you stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, but in fact..." Layton worked hard towards the virtual console in front of him, "I had already turned the accelerator just now. The position has been pushed to 'forward four', which is 15% of the speed of light...but Yagunaktor is still motionless."

Layton continued: "Now only the jump engine has not been tried, but the remaining energy of Yagunaktor is not enough to start it..."

[P.S. Thanks to the bit player and book friend 2021030110410836350 who can’t survive for 3 minutes for the 1,500 starting coins. 】

[P.P.S. I expect to take a leave of absence next Monday or Tuesday. It has been exactly two years since the treatment was completed. It has been half a year since the last bone puncture reexamination. I have to go for another reexamination. And recently I have been having headaches (although the doctor and I both agree that It was due to cervical spondylosis), but for safety reasons a lumbar puncture had to be done (yes, it was the inspiration for the nerve connection of the Blasphemer’s mecha to pierce the spine in the book), and the cerebrospinal fluid was checked. Bone puncture can be done on the go. After lumbar puncture, you have to lie down for six hours, and you will probably have to stay in the hospital overnight... As for whether to take one day off or two days off, it depends on the arrangements for the day, and will be notified separately. 】
