Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 845
"Uh, to be precise, it can't be regarded as seeing it with my own eyes." The hound thought for a while, and corrected, "What he saw should be some images preserved by special means."

"Well... so, it is very reasonable for the city to be destroyed in this way." Ghost Owl said, he did not go further to ask the relevant details, he knew very well that every hunter and every hunting group He has his own secrets, and these secrets will not be easily shared with outsiders... Although Ghost Owl is now a grasshopper on the same rope as Hound and others, he still has this self-knowledge.

He and the members of the Hunting God Hunting Group can trust each other. This trust is limited to the situation where the two parties cooperate to survive. As for those things that involve core secrets, it is impossible for the other party to share with a "temporary partner" like himself. .

However, he also believes that if it is a secret related to the key points of this operation, the three people in front of him will not hide it from him... In the past few months of getting along with each other, Ghost Owl can still feel the temper of these people relatively clear.

In all fairness, these people give Ghost Owl a good feeling. If he hadn't signed a lifelong contract with the Gray Bird Hunting Group, and this old club has always treated him well, he might really jump to Hunting God Hunting group.

Thinking of this, Ghost Owl couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Although he is not very clear about the details and the inside story of the current situation, he still knows the general situation - he certainly does not think that he has betrayed Ark, not only him, but also the Hunting God Hunting Group who has been with him day and night during this time, etc. People, there is no sign of rebellion at all... Not to mention signs, even the reason and motivation of the ghost owl can't be found.

After much deliberation, there is only one possibility, that is, the Hunting God Hunting Group discovered some kind of technology left over from an alien civilization inside Yagunaktor or something that could subvert the existing balance of power. Driven by people's inflated ambitions, it is possible to plot rebellion... But the problem is that the ghost owl has been on the front line of exploring Yagunaktor during this time. If there is such a thing, he Impossible not to detect any clues.

Moreover, after being suddenly attacked by the Black Fleet, the performance of the members of the Hunting God Hunting Group was completely in line with his expectations - if this group of people were really plotting to rebel, they could not have been unprepared.

The only thing that confuses Ghost Owl is the "weapon" that wiped out the Black Fleet in an instant. Although he still doesn't know what that weapon is, judging from the performance of everyone in the Hunting God Hunting Group, they Like myself, I also knew nothing about it before this.

The one who is most likely to have a problem is Ke Lan, the leader of the Hunting God Hunting Group and the nominal captain of Yagunaktor, who has disappeared for a while.

If he was the one who attempted to rebel, then would he... and the rest of the Hunting God Hunting Group be regarded as the abandoned sons who were sacrificed?

Can he return to the ark alive... back home?

Just as the ghost owl was thinking wildly, the submersible trembled slightly and stopped.

A sloping tower was less than three meters away from the porthole. Under Chi Hanfeng's control, two robotic arms protruded from the bottom of the deep submersible and attached to the surface of the tower.

With the assistance of these two robotic arms, the deep submersible slowly climbed down like a robot.

"Do you feel that the ruins of this city... Although they are ruins, they are very clean?" Chi Hanfeng said while looking at the images sent back by the camera at the end of the mechanical arm.

"Well, it's really clean." The hunting dog nodded—generally speaking, after a few years, a layer of rotten cotton wool will appear on the surface of a ship or building that sinks into the sea. called "biofilm".Many people think that biofilms are mainly composed of aquatic plants, corals or barnacles and other appendages, but in fact, these organisms can only be regarded as latecomers of "carrying in bags", and these prefabricated structures were "carried out" at the beginning. "Environmental modification" is actually bacteria.

Even in the deep sea, there are many microorganisms that can live in extreme environments, and for those bacteria that feed on metals or minerals, a sinking ship or a house is absolutely It can be regarded as a delicious meal that is enough for tens of thousands of generations of descendants to feast on.

These bacteria can attack metal and concrete, forming a "rust coat" on the surface... Over time, this "rust coat" accumulates thicker and gradually becomes a miniature but complex ecology All kinds of marine life will be attracted to it... At this stage, the sunken ship or sunken building has another name: "artificial reef".

But in this underwater city, this phenomenon is completely invisible.

The metal and concrete parts of the building do show signs of being corroded and oxidized by seawater, but this is just a very normal chemical change, and no microorganisms are involved in the process of this change.

"Don't even microorganisms exist in this water area?" Chi Hanfeng said in disbelief.

"The restricted area of ​​life in the true sense...tsk..." the hound smacked his lips, and whispered, "a place of death."

The deep submersible climbed down nearly a hundred meters along the high tower, and finally landed on the street successfully. The rear cover of the deep submersible was lifted upwards, and two thicker folding mechanical arms protruded from it. The end of the robotic arm is a three-toed structure, and each supporting toe is equipped with a pneumatic suction cup, which can firmly fix the deep submersible on the ground, and there is no need to worry about being swept away even if it encounters an undercurrent.

But in this way, the shape of this deep submersible looks a lot like a biped mecha, especially the recurve joint structure of the legs, and the extremely classic "walker" series mecha Almost identical.

"This thing was modified by Layton, right?" The hound muttered, "Aren't you afraid of affecting the stability of the structure if you make it so fancy?"

"The extra space required to install the mechanical arm for sports will indeed affect the strength and stability of the main body structure, but as long as the physical properties of the material are strengthened, this loss can be made up." Chi Hanfeng continued, "At the beginning of the exploration' The inner shell and outer shell of the deep submersible used by the "Eye of Hell" are made of N65-level alloy materials, and the outer shell of the vehicle we are riding now is N97-level, and the inner shell is directly made of pure Nino alloy. The strength is at least 3000% higher than that of the prototype...the prototype has even been to a depth of [-] meters, and [-] meters will not have any pressure on our 'special model'."

"When it comes to mechanical things, you immediately become confident... In this regard, you and Layton are exactly the same." The hound said, "What about the weapons? Does this thing have any weapons?"

The biggest fear comes from the lack of firepower-although the hound knows in his heart that conventional weapons are difficult to achieve the attack effect on those weird monsters, but compared to wandering around the ruins unarmed, it is always better to hold a gun. Let people feel a little more at ease.

"The melee weapon is equipped with four circular Nino alloy saw blades, and a 'Dragon Shooting Gun' that uses crystal energy bombs as the driving mechanism." Chi Hanfeng said as he opened the weapon control panel on the side of the console, "The remote There is only one type of weapon, twelve 'Fang IV' torpedoes, each with a crystal energy bomb warhead, and a hidden high-pressure liquid tank is added to the prefabricated fragments, which are filled with active cells of flesh-eating worms, Once it hits the target, the culture fluid with active cells will be directly injected into the target's body tissue, and even mutants cannot withstand this dose."

Although the heretical sect has been wiped out, and the remaining small fish and shrimps have basically been mopped up, considering that Ke Lan had encountered the attack of the seed of erosion on the unnamed desert island, the equipment headed by Chi Hanfeng and Layton The R&D team still regards monsters like the Seed of Corrosion as the primary imaginary enemy.

"Are there only twelve rounds?" Ghost Owl asked.

"Space is limited, so I can only carry twelve rounds." Chi Hanfeng nodded, "But don't underestimate the power of this thing, one shot used to attack a ship can sink an Old Era ship." Iowa-class battleship."

"Sinking a battleship with one shot? Do you mean when it hits the ammunition depot or the engine room?" Hound raised his eyebrows. Although he is not very interested in these things, he does not know the Iowa class of the old era. A battleship is probably a battleship of some level, but since it can be called a battleship, its defense power will definitely not be low.Judging from the image on the weapon control panel, this "Tusk IV" torpedo is about the size of an adult's arm. It's a bit whimsical to use this thing to sink a battleship.

"No, as long as it can hit the main frame of the battleship, or explode inside the battleship, it can be sunk." Chi Hanfeng said seriously, "The crystal energy bomb installed on the warhead is a 'condensed' version."

The concentrated energy crystal is a "new type" energy crystal artificially simulated by the research team of the Yeh Consortium after analyzing the structure of the "pure energy crystal" obtained from Leviathan's body, but this concentrated crystal has a The fatal problem is instability.It can't output the energy stored inside in a stable way, if it is used as ordinary energy crystallization, the violent energy flow will instantly destroy the internal structure of the converter, and even cause an explosion.

The research team has lost a lot of hair and can't solve this problem, and because of this, except for the trial-type "condensed version" crystal energy bomb, this "condensed crystal" has not been used in any field has been applied practically.

"Hiss... you actually put this thing in the torpedo? Is this thing stable? If it explodes, we shouldn't even leave any residue?" The hound gasped.

"It's not very stable, but it's not as dangerous as you think... The crystal energy bomb is not nitroglycerin. Besides, the warhead of the warhead is in a suspended state, and ordinary bumps can't detonate the bomb at all." Chi Han Feng said, "If the situation really reaches the point where the torpedo will be killed, then I guess our deep submersible will no longer have any airtightness at all... By then, we will all be directly exposed to the 3000 meters Under the pressure of the deep sea water, it makes no difference whether the torpedo explodes or not."

"That's the best..." The hound just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly he sat upright on the seat as if he had been electrocuted.

Not only him, Zhuoligetu and Ghost Owl also had similar reactions.

The ghost-like black shadow just now is hovering about ten meters directly behind the deep submersible!
This is something similar to seaweed, or in other words, like a large tangle of hair... If Ke Lan is here, he will definitely feel that this thing is similar to a novel he has read before. The monster called "Forbidden Woman" is very similar.But unlike the "forbidden woman", this group of "hair" is not made of solid matter. When those slender hairs are swaying with the water flow, there will be a kind of swell at the end, like ink dripping into clear water. It looks like... Those so-called hair strands are actually made of a liquid substance.

Although no visual organs can be seen on this monster, the four people in the deep submersible still feel that they are firmly locked on to themselves through the porthole... This feeling is like being targeted prey, The instinct in my heart is screaming crazily, telling me to escape from this place quickly.

"When did this thing...follow us?" The hound's facial muscles twitched unnaturally, and his hands only grabbed the armrest on the side of the seat, with such strength that the protruding knuckles turned white up.

"I don't know." As if worried about being noticed by that thing, Chi Hanfeng shook his head almost negligibly, and glanced at the sonar screen from the corner of his eye, "The sonar didn't scan anything, Even now, the sonar is still telling me... there's nothing there."

"This thing seems to be liquid." Zhuoligetu whispered, "Pay attention to the edge of its 'body', and the boundary between it and the sea water is very blurred."

"I didn't expect you, Mongol, to have such a fine observation...you don't usually notice it." The hound's body froze in place, and also didn't dare to make any big movements, "but the question is...is its body solid or Liquid, what's the difference?"

"There is still a difference..." Chi Hanfeng lowered his voice, "If this thing is a mass of liquid, and the density of the liquid that composes it is very close to that of seawater, then it can indeed be scanned by sonar. To achieve 'complete invisibility'... the sound waves penetrate its body like sea water, without any abnormal feedback."

"So that's how it is..." The hound took a deep breath, nodded, and seemed to have made some decision, "Old Chi, prepare to launch a torpedo... No matter what it is, we must act first!"

"At this distance, if the torpedo is detonated, we will also be affected." Chi Hanfeng said in a low voice.
