Alien Relic Hunter

"Why should I kill all the giant eels in the deep sea?" Who knows, Ke Lan suddenly said such a sentence.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Probably Ke Lan's remarks were so outrageous that Benson even forgot to taunt, and the hand holding the lighter froze in mid-air.

"Yeah... Ke Lan, this... these cannonballs are not enough..." Leighton also whispered from the side, "Even...even if we shoot accurately and every shot can hit...then for the Pioneer Considering the situation, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

"Actually, we only need to hit it once." Ke Lan pointed to the observation window at his feet, "Didn't you find that there was a deep-sea giant eel that never attacked the Pioneer?"

"What?" Benson frowned, looking confused... Not to mention him, even Layton and others were also confused.

"Does this transport ship have a combat assistance program?" Ke Lan asked Benson.

Although the transport ship itself is not armed, the combat auxiliary program is a necessary program for the core computer installation of the air ship, and will most likely be installed.

In addition to automatically searching for enemies, automatically marking, and helping the fire control system lock targets, this kind of program also has the functions of assisting takeoff and landing and course correction... This thing is just like the auxiliary plug-in installed when playing online games. With its With help, even a rookie helmsman who has just graduated from school can drive the airship in style.

"Yes...what are you going to do?!" Benson's face became even more suspicious.

"Let the captain activate the combat auxiliary program for the battlefield below, and mark each deep-sea giant eel independently and track it throughout the entire process, and then project the image analyzed by the computer onto the bottom observation window. You will understand what I mean. Yes." Ke Lan said.

"...do as he says."

Soon, the observation window under everyone's feet turned into a projection screen divided by countless auxiliary lines. Every deep-sea giant eel that appeared in the field of vision was marked with a unique mark, and the computer would mark these. The body shape and characteristics of the tagged deep-sea giant eel are recorded. Even if it dives into the water the next second, the mark will remain as long as it returns to sight.

"Pay attention to the deep-sea giant eel marked 'No. 14'." Ke Lan's right hand made a few dots on the projection, and the deep-sea giant eel marked "14" was immediately traced with a depth. Red dynamic border.

"This giant deep-sea eel is neither the largest nor the smallest. It has no special obvious features. It is very inconspicuous and will dive into the water from time to time." Ke Lan said, shooting at the camera above his head. Snap your fingers, "Please calculate its trajectory."

He stretched out his hands and pushed inward on both sides of the projection. The entire screen suddenly doubled in size. In this way, the actual sea area in the field of vision doubled. At the same time, the No. 14 The movement trajectory of the deep-sea giant eel was also marked by the computer with fluorescent dotted lines.

"Most of us were focused on the Pioneer icebreaker and its surroundings, so we didn't notice this cunning guy. But now that its trajectory has been marked, you should also have discovered the problem. Bar?"

"This 'No. 14'... has actually been wandering on the edge of the battlefield, and has never participated in the attack on the Pioneer, whether it was a close impact or spit arc... strange, this guy seems like..." Layton said with a surprised look on his face.

"Like a paddling bastard." The hound picked up what Layton had left unfinished.

"But there is one more thing I don't know if you have noticed... Although this No. 14 has been paddling, every time it moves to one side of the icebreaker, the frequency of attacks by the deep-sea giant eels on that side will be greatly increased. , and the accuracy of the arc attack will also be significantly improved - pause, pull the screen forward for four seconds, no, pull it forward for four and a half seconds - and then play it back at 0.2x speed."

Ke Lan waved his hand again, enlarging the picture on the port side of the Pioneer icebreaker several times, and said: "Pay attention to this deep-sea giant eel No. 9. Before No. 14 came over, it spit out arcs three times in total. The front Both times it missed the target, and only the third time it was lucky enough to catch an unlucky crew member - but when the 14th passed by it, it suddenly changed its attack target and directly aimed at the anti-aircraft aircraft on the bridge. The cannon fired one shot and the regiment destroyed the cannon group."

"Of course, there is a certain degree of chance in this situation, but when this 'accidental event' happens many times, do you still think it is accidental?" Ke Lan looked directly at Benson and asked in a deep voice.

"...You mean, this No. 14 is the commander of this group of monsters, right." Being able to become the captain of an advance team, Benson is naturally not an idiot who doesn't understand anything. Ke Landu Let’s talk about this, the meaning is really clear.

"Catch the thief first, capture the king first. Everyone must understand this principle." Ke Lan kicked the box containing the harpoon shells nearby, "As long as we can hit No. 14, the pressure faced by the Pioneer will be much less. There is a high chance that you can persist until the Ark rescues you."

Of course, the Pioneer didn't just send a distress signal to their transport ship, it was just that they were the closest to here. As for the rescue team from the Ark, it would take at least several hours to arrive. By then, I'm afraid the Pioneer The number had long since sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"Then how can you be sure that getting rid of No. 14 will have an effect? ​​Isn't there a new leader among these monsters?" Benson said unconvinced.

"This possibility does exist." Ke Lan nodded.

"Humph, after all, you are just gambling."

"Then if you don't gamble, do you have any better ideas?" Ke Lan asked.

Benson was immediately speechless. He gritted his teeth and stared at Ke Lan for several seconds before slowly saying, "I really have no better way, but do you think you can hit that monster with this harpoon heavy cannon?" ?”

"That's our own business, you don't need to worry about it."

"Don't forget that you are on the Aurora Consortium's transport ship!"

"If you stand from your consortium's point of view, your senior management must also hope to save the Pioneer... But what makes me a little confused is why, Captain Benson, you seem to want to see the Pioneer sink. Could it be..."

Ke Lan did not continue speaking, but deliberately looked at Benson with a suspicious look.

"Ke Lan, if you put this hat on, it's really heart-wrenching." Hound whispered to the side.

"Of course I hope the Pioneer can escape!" Benson said hurriedly, "I just doubt the abilities and motives of you people. There is no problem with that!"
