interstellar involution king

Chapter 12 Small Animal League?
Zheng Wan drove the car very fast.

About 10 minutes later, a huge curved dome appeared ahead, which was the wreckage of the passenger spacecraft.

The complete appearance of the whole ship is a huge ring like a Ferris wheel. When it fell from the sky, most of the ring was smashed, leaving only an arc of less than 30 degrees.

And just such a circular arc is more than 400 meters wide, plus the damaged parts scattered all over the place.From a distance, it looks like the ruins of a lost town.

'Zi~Zi~Zi~'

As the distance continued to approach, the background noise in the communicator continued to increase. When the equidistance was less than 1000 meters, the noise was already too loud to be ignored.

This indicates that there is a huge source of signal emission near the wreckage.

Zheng Wan's expression became serious: "Lin Yuan, you guessed it right, there are indeed a large number of nuclear cells in the ruins. Fortunately, we have prepared weapons."

Lin Yuan glanced at the information fed back on the screen of the smart brain, and quickly calculated silently in his mind, and then said: "Not counting the shielding interference of metal parts, the total volume of nuclear energy cells in the ruins is at least 125 cubic meters."

"So many? What do they live on?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not clear yet. But the energy supply efficiency of nuclear energy bodies is very high. One kilogram of plutonium-239 is enough for the basic survival requirements of these nuclear energy cells for 50 years."

In order to adapt to the harsh environment, the anti-starvation ability of nuclear energy cells is ridiculously strong, far exceeding that of ordinary cells.Of course, if there is too little food, the exercise ability of nuclear energy cells will be greatly limited.

Zheng Wan slowed down the speed of the car, changed direction at the same time, and began to drive slowly along the periphery of the ruins.

"Let's go around the periphery first. There are enough wreckage scattered around the periphery, and you may be able to find what you need."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Well~ that's the only way to do it for the time being, but I still want to go to the engine room of the big spaceship as much as possible."

At present, the propulsion fluid of Nanliguo's engines is high-energy ion jet, the basic principle is the same, and the materials and parts used are similar with minor differences.

If you want to find replacements for engine parts, the engine bay of the big spaceship is naturally the best place to go.

Zheng Wan frowned: "That place seems to be in the center of the ruins."

That will definitely encounter nuclear energy creatures.

Lin Yuan waved his hand: "No rush, take your time."

His eyes swept across the ground ahead, looking for what he needed among the scattered wreckage.

After driving for a while, he suddenly shouted: "Stop! Look over there. That big pipe."

Zheng Wan stopped the car according to her words, turned her head to look, and was immediately puzzled: "That seems to be the fixed outer truss of the spaceship, what's the use?"

Lin Yuan had already opened the car door and walked down. He walked up to the metal pipe, and after a careful inspection, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "904 stainless steel pipe, 30 cm thick, just meets the demand. Zheng Wan, come, put this The stainless steel pipes in the area are all moved to the truck body, the more the better."

Zheng Wan started to move immediately, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became: "What's the use of such a tube? Are you planning to build a primitive chemical rocket?"

Lin Yuan laughed: "I'm half right. I plan to build a rocket, but it's not a chemical rocket. Although this thing is resistant to corrosion and radiation, it's not strong enough to withstand the high temperature and pressure of a chemical rocket."

"Isn't it a chemical rocket? Are there other types of rockets?" Zheng Wan was confused.

"Oh, it's hard to explain now. You'll know when it's done."

Lin Yuan also helped move the pipes.

Zheng Wan hastily stopped: "Don't move, I'll do it."

There are more than ten pipes nearby, of different lengths, but the thickness is the same.Zheng Wanquan was moved into the carriage.

"Go, keep looking."

The mining cart continued on its way.

In the following time, Lin Yuan found many good things.

For example, the asynchronous motor in the electric toy, half of the super glue used, and a full box of unopened insulating sealing tape.

And so on, inconspicuous, but very useful gadgets at critical moments.

Every time she found something, Zheng Wan stopped and moved the things into the back of the mining ship. After a few hours, the 7-meter-long and 3-meter-wide truck was half full.

I was looking for it seriously, when the car stopped abruptly with a 'crack'.

"what happened?"

Zheng Wan raised her finger and pointed to the depths of the ruins: "Over there~~ I vaguely saw a figure shaking."

"Is it a figure?"

Lin Yuan quickly picked up the scope and looked carefully in the direction Zheng Wan said.

The place is not too far away, less than 400 meters away. In the scope, the place is almost completely visible, and even the rust on the metal surface can be seen clearly.

But there was nothing to be seen except mountains of damaged spacecraft parts.

"I will never be fooled." Zheng Wan said solemnly.

With these words, Lin Yuan believes that a scavenger who has been able to travel for 10 years and has modified the Eagle's Eye will never make such a low-level mistake.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Before, I saw that little girl coming in this direction. It is very likely that what you saw was that little girl."

Zheng Wan was slightly surprised: "She actually came here too. Could it be that there are not only radioactive substances leaked from the spacecraft, but also natural radioactive ores underground?"

It seems that only in this way can the consumption be maintained for 20 years.

Lin Yuan did not speak, neither affirming nor denying.

As a scientific officer, what he pursues is empirical evidence, and he will not easily express his views before obtaining empirical evidence.

He just looked back and forth with the scope.

Looking at it, his movements suddenly stopped.

Did not see a figure, but saw a strange creature.

"Zheng Wan, look over there, there is something that looks like a cockroach, no, it looks a bit like a mouse. No, why does it have a pair of locust jumping hind legs?"

The whole body of the thing is black, with fine nets growing on the surface, a bit like scales, and a bit like a fishing net. It is about 1.7 meters high, about the size of an adult.

It looks weird.

It has a flattened cockroach-like body and sickle-like forearms like a praying mantis.The two legs on the back are no different from locusts.

Forget about the body, although it looks different, it is still an insect.

But on such an insect's head, there was a mouse's head.

But the eyes are seven or eight points similar to the compound eyes of flies.

It feels like a combination of various small animals on the earth, and the combination is extremely simple and rude.

But its stature does not match that of small animals. It is very big and tall. Even if it is standing with its body leaning forward at about 60 degrees, its height is still more than 1.7 meters, which is similar to that of an adult.

It stood there motionless, its pair of fly compound eyes were facing the mining truck, and it didn't know what it was thinking.

Soon, Zheng Wan also saw it, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "What the hell is this!"

She immediately picked up the Falcon sniper rifle and pointed the muzzle at the monster's head.

Only in this way can she feel a sense of security.

Lin Yuan manipulated the lightning system on the brain by himself, and locked it as the target of attack.

In the next moment, the 4 laser guns installed on the mining vehicle and the 2 directional electromagnetic wave antennas turned together and pointed at the mantis monster precisely.

Sensing Zheng Wan's nervousness, Lin Yuan comforted softly: "Remember, don't rush to do it. There is no conflict of essential interests between us and nuclear energy creatures. In many cases, it can be resolved peacefully."

"En!" Zheng Wan responded, but her body was still tense, like a bowstring being stretched.

Just then, another change occurred.

Behind the four-faced monster, a small figure suddenly appeared.

He moved extremely quickly, jumped onto the monster's back, hugged the mouse's head from left to right with his slender arms, twisted it hard, and twisted the head off.

Afterwards, the figure jumped up from the rat-head monster's back, grabbed a metal stick protruding from its head, swayed for a while, and then disappeared into a pile of metal ruins.

Look at that monster again.

After losing his head, his body still maintained considerable vitality. The two scythe hands waved back and forth, and the well-developed hind limbs continuously ejected, pushing the body to jump back and forth.

But because of the loss of the head, all the movements of the body have lost their precision, like rubber balls flying around.

Even so, it still maintains amazing destructive power.

Lin Yuan saw it clearly, its jumping height was over 30 meters, and when it swung its sickle hand, it easily cut open an alloy sheet at least 3 mm behind. It looked like that, and it was more expensive than tearing a piece of paper. easy.

After bouncing on the spot for a full 10 minutes, the monster stopped. Then, its body gradually began to melt, melting faster and faster, like a pile of snowballs exposed to the scorching sun.

Zheng Wan exclaimed in surprise, "This is also a nuclear creature!"

In the blink of an eye, the monster turned into a ball of brown slime, and in the slime, a black net-like exoskeleton that was very similar to the shape of the monster was left behind. Under the light, this skeleton reflected a very obvious metallic luster .

Seeing this skeleton, Lin Yuan's heart moved slightly: "It's a metal mesh, and nuclear creatures have developed anti-interference ability."

It is actually very easy to shield electromagnetic interference, as long as a layer of metal mesh is covered on the body, all electromagnetic waves with a wavelength greater than the grid gap can be blocked outside.

And the grid of the monster's exoskeleton is quite dense, and its transparent wavelength is much smaller than the communication wavelength between nuclear energy cells.

That is to say, as long as this layer of grid exists, the electromagnetic wave weapon built by Lin Yuan will not have any interference effect on it.

But fortunately, they still have laser arrays, and the monster's key point seems to be in the head, as long as the head is knocked out, it loses most of its combat power.Supplemented with electromagnetic wave interference, it is enough to disintegrate it in an instant.

At this time, the little girl appeared again.

She jumped to the side of the slime, reached into the pile of slime, and slowly lifted it up.

Strangely, she picked up the mucus pile, and then, a person quickly 'grew'.

This person was almost identical in appearance to the little girl. After it appeared, the little girl opened her arms and embraced her, as if celebrating its new life.

Afterwards, the little girl turned around to look at the mining truck, grinned, and made another grimace, then disappeared in a flash.

Almost immediately, the comm background noise increased significantly.

"Zi Zi Zi ~ Zi Zi Zi"

The sound is getting louder and louder, and it seems that something is approaching quickly.

"I have a very, very bad feeling, should we run away?" Zheng Wan couldn't hide her shock.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then pointed to the open space not far away: "Drive to the open space over there and get ready to fight."
