Alien Relic Hunter

"How to transfer? Move it to Yagunaktor like moving things?" Ke Lan twitched the corner of his mouth and put on a helpless smile.

For the technologies left behind by Alpha Civilization, Ark has analyzed less than 1% of them. Perhaps the undead crew will know more secrets, but this does not mean that they can digest all the technological heritage of Alpha Civilization. Lose.

Especially space-time technology, which is at the top of the technology tree of Alpha civilization... If the undead crew could really master this technology, they would have stuffed the folded space into the ark.

At least, the area where they live will definitely be independent... Dan Zeluo told Ke Lan a long time ago that there is no abnormal space area on the Ark.

Apart from the Tower of Babel, the only comprehensive work of Alpha Civilization's space technology is Yaguna Kotor. However, the progress of the survey of Yaguna Kotor can be described as a tortoise speed. In a few months, the joint exploration Yes, they barely established three outposts in the ecological zone named "Block 1".

After the Battle of the Ancient Copper City Ruins, the survey of Yagunaktor almost came to a standstill - on the one hand, because materials and manpower had to be given priority to the reconstruction of the Ark, and on the other hand, the various forces involved in the exploration , especially the Ye family consortium, where almost all family members were killed, and his own foundation was severely damaged. Ye Yan, who was hit hard, became autistic and had no intention of exploring.

According to estimates by professionals, based on the progress of exploration before the Battle of the Ancient Copper City Ruins, it would take at least fifteen to twenty years to complete the survey of the entire Yagunaktor... As for the ship's Assimilating those technologies for one's own use is not something that can be accomplished in one or two generations.

"Those original energies are sealed in independent small spaces. Of course, these small spaces are absolutely forbidden areas for humans. If you directly enter these small spaces, even with your current physical strength, you will be crushed directly. …Not only the body, but also the consciousness will be obliterated, from body to soul, the whole person will be completely wiped out." The master of the nest said.

"I probably understand what's going on." Ke Lan nodded, "These energies are like high-voltage electricity, and the human body that needs to be modified is equivalent to household appliances that can only withstand two hundred and twenty volts. And the God's Coffin acts as a transformer..."

If violent high-voltage electricity is directly delivered to household appliances, there is no doubt that the appliances will be burned directly. If you want to use this electric energy, you must use a transformer to step down the voltage before you can charge the electrical appliances...

The Coffin of God even uses a "trickle charging" mode to instill these original energies into the individual undergoing transformation little by little. If the output power slightly exceeds the standard, it will lead to failure.

As for this safety threshold, it was figured out bit by bit through countless failures... The birth of "Seed of Corrosion" was preceded by 49,665 failed experiments, and the failed experiment of God's Coffin Ke Lan simply couldn't imagine how many bodies there were.

Fortunately, when the undead crew members obtained the Coffin of God, all the data had been debugged by Alpha Civilization, and the "body" with terrifying abilities was successfully produced... But even so, the experimental results still seemed to have some deviations.

"No... there is no safety threshold at all." A voice in Ke Lan's head said, "If the output power is really kept below the safety threshold, then human civilization will never be able to climb to a new height... Every experiment is challenging new limits, and the value that symbolizes the output power of the God's Coffin is definitely constantly increasing...Learning lessons and gaining experience from failures is the way for civilization to survive...even if , every failure may lead to the destruction of the entire civilization."

"During the existence of Alpha Civilization, they collected a total of forty-five units of 'original energy'. Among them, about twenty units of the original energy were consumed in the experiment, and the remaining twenty-five units, All are sealed on the top of the Babel Tower. If these original energies are fired as cannonballs, it will be enough to destroy a low-level clan civilization." said the master of the nest.

"Good guy, Alpha Civilization is just trying to make a fortune...even though it is not qualified to become a Familia, it has already obtained weapons that can destroy a Familia civilization." Ke Lan couldn't help complaining.

"Before humans have mastered the method of obtaining energy from nuclear fusion, haven't they already developed hydrogen bombs based on the principle of nuclear fusion? Weapons are part of a civilization's strength, but they do not fully represent the technological level of this civilization. More What’s more, these original energies come from beings at that level, and the Alpha civilization obtains these original energies, just like a savage who drank blood and picked up a Tsar bomb on the roadside.”

"But the 'enemy' targeted by these barbarians is the one who used the Tsar Bomb as firecrackers..." Ke Lan smiled bitterly and shrugged, "Although I have said it many times, I still have to sigh. Suddenly, the gap between humans and Him is so huge that I don’t even know what words or metaphors to use to describe it.”

"Are you desperate?"

"It would be a lie to say that we are not desperate." Ke Lan said truthfully, "In my opinion, the feasibility of the plan designated by the Night Watchman is infinitely close to zero..."

"Actually, there are many people among the Night Watch who believe that human civilization will never see the light of day... Many people are crazy, and some even choose to commit suicide, but whether they are crazy or dead, they did not put it down until the last moment. Let these secrets go out because there are still people who are persisting, even if they see a glimmer of hope, they are still trudging through the darkness."

"There is a saying that the night before dawn is the most difficult, but it is still far away from dawn. It can only be said that it has just fallen into the night, and the Alpha civilization has already been tortured to death... To be honest, I don't think we can hold on for long. Ke Lan shook his head.

"Then you want to give up?" the master of the nest asked, its tone was very calm, neither angry nor mocking, as if it was really seeking Ke Lan's opinion.

"It's not enough to give up, you have to try... No matter how bad the situation is, how dark the expected ending is, you still have to try if you have the chance... There is another sentence I also like, dead horse Just be a doctor... What if you really survive? The feasibility is infinitely close to zero, but it doesn't mean it's zero. I think it's because of this that those night watchmen persisted, right?"

"...Your temperament is quite suitable for becoming a night watchman."

"You have told me so much, are you testing me?" Ke Lan scratched his head and asked.

"No, I'm just stating the facts. I don't need to hide anything from you. If you really choose to give up because this plan is too difficult and the success rate is too low, then I will not force you to implement it." The master of the nest city said.

"Then I was really almost scared off." Ke Lan grinned, rubbed his numb legs, and stood up, "By the way, let me ask you an irrelevant question - you It is said that Alpha Civilization consumed twenty units of original energy when conducting experiments on the Coffin of God, so how much did my body consume?"

"About 0.0002 units." The hive master replied immediately.

"Zero point zero zero zero two?" Ke Lan was stunned for half a second, "Isn't this zero a bit too much?"

"It's already an amazing transformation speed. After all, it only took a few decades for this body to be placed in the coffin of God. This speed would have been unimaginable tens of thousands of years ago. The behavior of the undead crew It's no different from taking a risk... But they made the right bet, and the body successfully absorbed the original energy and successfully merged with you."

"No...actually, I think that body should have been prepared for them, but I just happened to miss it." Ke Lan said, "This is not the result they expected."

"You may have overlooked one thing...the leader of this plan is actually not a member of the Undead Crew, but the Fool." The master of the nest slowed down slightly, "The Fool has long been aware of the Undead Crew. Some of the members have been corroded beyond the safety threshold, so it is impossible for him to tell the truth about his plan to others... He will not believe anyone except himself. The other members of the Undead Crew are all used by him The chess pieces...perhaps, from the perspective of the Undead Crew, the plan seems to have gone awry, but from the Fool's perspective, everything is still progressing according to the original trajectory."

"So in the Fool's plan, this body was originally prepared for me to absorb?" Ke Lan narrowed his eyes, held his hands together and rubbed them a few times... He could feel that this body was unfamiliar now. There is a familiar feeling in it, as if this power belonged to him a long time ago.

Is it the consciousness hidden in the body that affects my thinking? Or was it originally my own idea?

"Okay, after talking so much, let's get back to the topic. How do I move the original energy equivalent to 125,000 times my own to Yagunaktor? There is no 'transformer' like the Coffin of God. , even if I touch it even slightly, it will be destroyed in an instant, right?"

"That's not the case. The spaces used to store the original energy are all equipped with safety devices. The internal energy will not be easily leaked. You only need to move the entire space fragment to the interior of Yagunaktor." Hive City The master said, "This process requires the use of spatial abilities——"

"But I can't use my abilities casually. If I attract the attention of that existence, everything will be over." Ke Lan frowned.

"Ze Luo's ability will not attract his attention. It is most appropriate for her to complete this task." The master of the nest city gave the solution.

"I know Ze Luo is the best candidate, so do you have a way to wake her up?" Ke Lan took out a black sphere from his pocket - his body was almost completely destroyed before, in order to prevent Ze Luo from letting her wake up. After being hurt, Ke Lan took off the "armor" transformed by Ze Luo from his body and kneaded it into a ball the size of an egg.

Ze Luo's consciousness seemed to have completely fallen into a deep sleep. Even the communication with Ke Lan was cut off, and his body became like a piece of clay... To be precise, it was like the first time Ke Lan saw her. At that time, that kind of "black asphalt" state.

"Zeluo was created by Alpha Civilization as a 'secret weapon'. In order to ensure that these secret weapons are not discovered by that being, the preset self-protection mechanism will make them fall into deep sleep when they feel the power left by that being. , or even in a state of suspended animation. As long as she stays away from this place, she can return to her original state."

"The top of the Tower of Babel...?"

"If the power of that existence is regarded as pollution, then the top of the Babel Tower should be the cleanest place on the planet." The hive master said.

…

Just as the master of the nest said, not long after Ke Lan entered the top of the Babel Tower, the small black ball automatically came out of his pocket, suspended in mid-air, slowly expanded, and then condensed into a human form... Within a few breaths, the familiar Sanwu girl stood in front of Ke Lan again.

"Put on your clothes." Ke Lan avoided the flawless white body and said expressionlessly.

"There's no one else here." Ze Luo said naturally.

The girl stretched her body, and the beautiful scenery kept leaking in from the corner of Ke Lan's eyes... He couldn't help but feel a slight itchiness in his nose, and quickly reached out to touch it - fortunately, this body will not easily bleed. Yes, that itching is probably just the remnant of a subconscious hallucination.

"Even if there are no other people, you must wear clothes." Ke Lan said in a stern tone, "Even primitive people know how to use leaves and animal skins to cover their shame. Since you want to integrate into human civilization, you must accept the ethics and morals of human society. Concept...I say it again, put your clothes on."

"But, when you and Zofia are together, they often don't even touch each other. Doesn't this violate the ethics and morals of human society?" Zeluo retorted repeatedly, but she still obediently changed into a black The dress covered that perfect body.

"That's... a normal reproduction behavior between individual living things..." Ke Lan still wanted to defend, but found that although Ze Luo's face was still cold, there was a sly smile in his eyes, and he immediately knew that he had been She was teased and could only give her a vicious look.

"Although I think human civilization is very interesting, sometimes you are really a bit hypocritical." Ze Luo said, "Obviously this skirt is also a part of my body..."

"Shut up, I'm begging you." Ke Lan sighed, "You have been sleeping, why do you seem to talk more?"
