Alien Relic Hunter

Just a second before the Blasphemer mecha fell into the thick fog again, Ke Lan saw clearly the appearance of the indigenous creatures rushing out of the fog - it was a large bird with a wingspan of more than thirty meters. Covered in gray-black feathers, it has a long neck like a swan, but at the end of the long neck is the head of a primate creature. The grimace covered by a skull-like exoskeleton just looks at it. It's enough to make a lasting impression.

This kind of creature is definitely the type that children will have nightmares at night if they look at it too many times.

At the end of their wings, there is also a pair of huge sharp claws. The barbs at the front of the claws are glowing with the unique luster of Nino alloy... Ke Lan has no doubt that these claws, combined with the power of these creatures, can Easily tear apart the outer armor of the battleship.

The two "resurrected" warships were covered with a large number of claw marks, and large areas of armor plates were torn and peeled off, exposing the fragile internal structure to the outside.

In the mission record of the "Special Operations Fleet", this kind of indigenous creature called "Ghost-faced Owl" was mentioned, but these big birds can only be regarded as the weakest among the indigenous creatures that attacked the fleet...

Ke Lan can be sure that these indigenous creatures are also the creation of Alpha civilization - although many creatures will enrich the metal elements absorbed from food into certain parts of the body to form weapons or armor, Nino alloy is not like iron, Zinc and calcium are metal elements that can be obtained from food. They are artificial materials that are extremely difficult to synthesize. The nino alloys currently known in the Alpha civilization are basically derived from the "Yagunaktor" sunk in the magma lake in the molten mine area. Whether it is for humans or the Alpha civilization, every gram of nino alloy is It is very precious, and it is impossible to be so luxurious that it can be scattered in large quantities in the natural environment of Alpha Star.

What's more, along the way, Thirty-three did not feel the presence of any Nino alloy in the gray mist forest. This means that this thing does not exist in the daily diet of these indigenous creatures, and naturally it has not been "absorbed into it". It is said that it is enriched somewhere in the body after being absorbed into the body.”

To be precise, the "Ghost Faced Owl" and other creatures that attacked the "Special Operations Fleet" cannot be regarded as indigenous creatures of Alpha Planet, but "biological weapons" created by Alpha Civilization like the Seeds of Corrosion. ".

The Blasphemer mecha carried Ke Lan back to the ground. The ghost-faced giants did not pursue them, but the second round of artillery strikes followed them, creating a suspended space on the dome again. sea ​​of ​​fire.

"How's it going?" Thirty-three hurried over and asked Ke Lan.

"The two battleships are hanging directly above us at a height of about a thousand meters. There is good news and bad news." Ke Lan did not give in and asked Thirty-three to choose whether to hear the good news or the bad news first... The time they had left didn't allow him to do that.

Ke Lan told the good news and the bad news in one breath: "The bad news is that the 'Shaojiang modified' plasma cannon is still usable and is being charged. The good news is that we still have two minutes left. , at least four to five attempts.”

"But there is no bombing window in these two minutes!" Thirty-three frowned, "By the time this round of bombing is over, the plasma cannon must have been fully charged."

"Then the only way is to rush forward under the gunfire." Ke Lan said immediately, "The energy shield of the Blasphemer mecha is very strong, and this level of gunfire cannot hurt it."

"What about you? If the blasphemer turns on the energy shield, you will be the first to be roasted, right?" Thirty-three asked again.

"I can squeeze in with Valentina in the cockpit, or... let me drive the machine?" Ke Lan suggested.

Although Ke Lan's mecha control skills are far inferior to Valentina's, he has the ability to stop and control the attack timing to perfection - this is an attack on a ship rather than a battle between mechas. The timing of attack and the choice of attack target are far more important than the operation.

With a "pop" sound, accompanied by a faint stream of steam, the cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha opened, and Valentina, who was sitting in the cockpit like a monster's mouth, opened her eyes. , said to Ke Lan: "Time is tight, there is no time to hand over, let's go together."

"Okay." Ke Lan didn't hesitate. After nodding, he jumped into the cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha. A thick liquid like amniotic fluid immediately covered his waist, and all those things that were excreted by his body were The liquid that was opened overflowed from the edge of the hatch, which somehow made Ke Lan feel a little astringent...

In addition to helping the pilot resist the G force generated when the body moves at high speed, these liquids have similar functions to LCL liquids. They can allow people to breathe like a fish and directly provide nutrients to the human body. Therefore, the Blasphemer Machine The pilot of A will not feel hungry even if he does not eat or drink for several days, which can extend the continuous combat time to an extremely terrifying level.

It's a pity that the Undead Crew has not yet thoroughly studied the core technology of the Blasphemer mecha. The cockpits of those "Fallen Angel mass-produced models" imitated from the Blasphemer are filled with LCL liquid. If the LCL liquid contains When the nutrients are exhausted, the old liquid must be extracted and new liquid injected. It is also extremely troublesome to maintain a living CPU in a semi-sleeping state.

However, as long as the mass-produced Fallen Angels are used as consumables, these troubles can be ignored... Those living CPUs basically have no chance of a second mission.

"The cockpit of this machine... no matter how many times I see it, I still feel uncomfortable and have a physical nausea." Thirty-three stretched out his hand to rub his throat and complained, "I always feel like I'm inside a monster. The slippery liquid in the stomach pouch is the gastric juice secreted by the monster... I feel like my whole body is getting hairy when I think of these liquids entering my body along every pore."

"Not only you, but even Layton's machine lover can't accept the biological structure of the Blasphemer... Every time he sees the cockpit of the Blasphemy, he will shout loudly that it is a blasphemy against the God of Machinery. I have become accustomed to it. ." Ke Lan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

After saying this, Ke Lan turned his head and glanced at Mo Jue, who was standing aside, and saw that the other party was covering his mouth and staring at the cockpit of the Blasphemer with a look of astonishment. Valentina had previously entered the cockpit from the cockpit. She didn't even look when she went in and out. It was only now that she discovered that this mecha, which looked full of mechanical beauty in appearance, was actually filled with squirming flesh and blood... Any human with normal cognition would react when seeing this kind of scene. Even ruin hunters and explorers who have seen many strange things have similar reactions.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, there's only one and a half minutes left." Thirty-three forcefully patted the external armor of the Blasphemer mecha and said loudly, "I wish you good luck! I also wish myself well. Luck, it all depends on you whether we will be evaporated on the spot by the high-temperature plasma or whether we can continue to move forward alive!"

"Don't worry, Today is not a good day to die——" Ke Lan gave Thirty-Three a thumbs up and said a line that he thought was quite impressive.

But who would have thought that Thirty-Three just gave him a middle finger and cursed: "Don't let those foreign farts go here... If you can't do it, you can run away on your own. At least, the whole army can't be annihilated here. I understand." ?"

This guy has only been hanging out with Layton and the others for a few days, so why does he feel like he's about to be assimilated? Ke Lan complained in his heart.

He didn't say anything else. The cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha had been closed, and the "amniotic fluid" quickly overflowed over his head and penetrated into his body through all the holes in his body, including the pores.

This feeling will feel a little uncomfortable at first, but when the body is completely "integrated" with these liquids, the strange feeling will disappear without a trace... and you will even feel as if you are back in the mother's womb. and comfort.

The fleshy walls in the cockpit squirmed, and the originally narrow space suddenly expanded a lot, and a slightly smaller driver's seat "grew" out behind Valentina's main driver's seat.

"So there is a two-person driving mode?" Ke Lan muttered, and a series of bubbles suddenly popped out of his mouth and nose.

The air in the lungs has almost been drained, and this "amniotic fluid" directly penetrates into the alveoli, dissolving oxygen into the blood... Ke Lan, who once again experienced the environment in the cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha, couldn't help but think "like a fish in water". "Such an idiom comes from.

"The technological gap between human civilization and Alpha civilization...is too big."

Ke Lan swam a short distance in the "amniotic fluid", and then sat on the "passenger seat" specially prepared for him. As soon as he sat firmly, he felt the back of the seat behind him squirming, and countless roots Tiny fleshy tentacles sprouted from the back of the chair.

"Do I also need to make a neural link?" Ke Lan was a little worried, "But the Blasphemer mecha has already completed the link with Valentina, and if I am added to it, there won't be chaos during the control process, right?"

After thinking about it, Ke Lan relaxed the muscles in his back, allowing those fleshy tentacles to smoothly penetrate into the gaps in his spine.

After the nerves of the Blasphemer mecha and Ke Lan completed the connection, an electric shock-like feeling came from the soles of Ke Lan's feet to the top of his head. The next second, he found that he had gained control of the machine.

But unlike the first time he drove the Blasphemer, there was another person's consciousness in his mind.

It's Valentina.

The minds of the two people were completely integrated. Ke Lan could feel what Valentina was thinking at this moment, and Valentina was also aware of Ke Lan's thoughts.

"This...isn't this the telepathy between NTs? No, that's not right. This state of mental connection should be closer to the neural bridging system of multi-person mechas in "Pacific Rim", which allows pilots to communicate with each other. Their thoughts and consciousness are highly synchronized, which is equivalent to two people becoming one person."

Normally, Valentina would most likely ask Ke Lan what "NT" means, but now, she already knows the meaning of this abbreviation through her synchronized consciousness with Ke Lan, and also knows something related to it. series of "Second Dimensional Culture", but before she could react, the crazy and huge flow of information hit her consciousness like a boat in the stormy sea. Just when she felt that the boat was about to capsize, her consciousness was also lost in the storm. When she was in the ocean of information, a warm power enveloped her consciousness.

That is Ke Lan's mental power. Under the training of countless "time stops", Ke Lan's mental power has long been trained to be extremely tough... If Valentina's consciousness is faced with the impact of information flow, it is like If it were a solitary boat, then Ke Lan's consciousness would be like an extremely thick dam. No matter how rough waves hit it, he would remain unmoved.

The only thing that made Ke Lan a little embarrassed was that the memories he didn't want to share with others, the more he didn't want to think of them, the more they would appear in front of him... In this case, not only could he see it, but Valentina The same can be seen.

And Ke Lan also felt... Valentina's special emotion for herself...

"You actually knew it all along, and you were just pretending to be stupid, right?" Valentina said in the consciousness of the two of them.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's focus on the present. The lives of others have been put into our hands. We must take them out alive." Ke Lan said, "Don't think about unnecessary things, abandon distracting thoughts, and focus on the present." Imagine yourself as a machine without emotions, a machine that only knows how to execute instructions."

It's a pity that the memory fragments sealed in the brain have not been dug out... Ke Lan can only choose to give up. However, this synchronization of thoughts gave him an idea. Perhaps, he can try this method in the future to break through the "fog" deep in his mind.

Ke Lan shook his head vigorously to get rid of the last "distraction", and then focused all his attention on the Blasphemer mecha.

The space under the feet of the machine is distorting. This is a signal that Zeluo is about to eject the Blasphemer. After breaking away from the space barrier, they will withstand the overwhelming artillery fire, break through the tree canopy and dense fog in one breath, and then attack the indigenous people. After the creature did not launch an attack, the attack on "Shaojiang Kai" was completed.

"I leave the control of the machine to you, and I will control the timing of the attack."

This thought just flashed through Ke Lan's mind, and it was already captured by Valentina, who also responded with a "received" in time.

The entire communication process takes less than 0.01 seconds.

This is a deep-seated communication of consciousness rather than verbal communication. In this state, Ke Lan and Valentina can be described as "having the same heart and feeling the same". They are no longer two independent individuals, but one. An integrated whole of consciousness.

This is the legendary..."divine friend"?

The helmsman is now ninety-two, and I feel that breaking through to 100 is just around the corner... If only the book review section and this chapter could say that it could be more It’s better to be lively...]

[P.P.S. The NT mentioned in this chapter does not mean cerebral palsy or "nice try". It refers to the "New Type (also known as 'Niu Taipu')" in the "Gundam" series, which is the human being in the cosmic environment. Natural evolution (or awakening) creates a "new type of human being". Among the abilities the new human beings possess is "telepathy", which allows them to communicate with other new human beings regardless of time and space to achieve mutual "understanding". 】
