Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 435 High Surface Temperature
Sun Hang watched the cockpit cover of the PFDA slowly close, and waited until the airtight valve made a "puff" sound before he asked, "Didn't they say that the speed of the PFDA can break through the energy beam attack of Chimera 17?"

"Chimera 17 predicted the trajectory of the first team's advance and sent the energy beam directly along this trajectory. There is no way to avoid it..." Yang Qi said, "But we have observed that the organ used by Chimera 17 to launch the energy beam has melted. Before the new attack organ grows out, we must quickly launch the second team!"

The mycelium components that were several sizes larger were installed on this oversized machine. Sun Hang glanced at the Crystal Princess who was fixed in the cockpit in a reclining position and gave her a thumbs up: "Good luck."

The cockpit had good sound insulation, and the Crystal Princess could not hear Sun Hang's voice at all. Just when Yang Qi told Sun Hang the bad news about the first team, she temporarily cut off the communication between Sun Hang and all the assault teams, and Sun Hang did not have time to reconnect with them.

However, Crystal Princess still guessed what Sun Hang said from his lip movements, and gave him a thumbs up, saying with her mouth: "Don't worry, I've always been lucky!"

Seeing that the other party could read his lips, Sun Hang's expression changed slightly.

This meant that the Crystal Princess had "heard" all of the conversation between him and Yang Qi just now, and the news of the first team's demise naturally could not be hidden from her.

However, her expression did not change at all, and she still looked cheerful.

Watching the second team leave the deck, Sun Hang followed Song Yarong towards the launch area of ​​the third team with an expressionless face.

And Garuda began to move again.

Within fourteen minutes, the first nine teams had all completed their launches - the first, fifth and eighth teams were confirmed to be completely destroyed, the third and fourth teams lost one and two people respectively, the sixth team lost contact, and the second, seventh and ninth teams had the best luck, with all members arriving near Chimera XVII.

However, they brought back some very bad news.

After the cocoon shell of the giant cocoon peeled off on a large scale, the temperature of the exposed "magma layer" was extremely high. The air temperature reached more than 800 degrees Celsius ten meters away from Chimera No. 17...

You have to know that this is an open area, not a closed indoor environment. The efficiency of reducing thermal radiation in such a place is extremely high - just like an empty steel plant workshop, where two thousand degree Celsius molten steel is exposed to the outside, but as long as the distance is slightly increased, the temperature in the air will drop rapidly. Ten meters away, the air temperature has almost dropped to sixty or seventy degrees Celsius. If you are further away, even if you don't wear protective equipment, the human body's own tolerance can fully withstand it.

In an open area, the air ten meters away from the heat source is heated to 800 degrees Celsius...

"According to the measurement results of the optical thermometer... the surface temperature of the magma layer of Chimera No. 17 has approached four thousand degrees Celsius..." a technician exclaimed.

"The hunter who died in the third team was killed because the anchor hook of the machine failed to hit the cocoon shell of Chimera No. 17 and shot directly into the magma layer, where it melted. He failed to brake and crashed out of the safe zone... The material of the anchor hook is strong enough to withstand temperatures of 2,000 degrees Celsius." said another engineer.

"So exaggerated?" Lao Wang was stunned for a moment. "If I remember correctly, the surface temperature of the sun is only 5,500 degrees Celsius, right? This thing is equivalent to half of the sun? I can hardly imagine if we are so close to the sun..."

"Five thousand five hundred degrees Celsius?" Sun Hang glanced at Lao Wang. "Then if I throw you into the sun, you should be able to survive, right? The Black Dragon meme should be highly resistant to high temperatures..."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly have the urge to go to the sun and take a look... Being the first person in human civilization to land on the sun, isn't that much more awesome than landing on the moon?"

"Don't even think about it. 5,500 degrees Celsius is the temperature of the sun's surface, which is almost the coldest place on the entire sun." Song Yarong complained, "But before you get there, you have to pass through the sun's atmosphere, which is the corona... The temperature there is as high as 1 million degrees Celsius."

"Okay." Lao Wang stuck out his tongue. "It's all my fault. When I was bored, I read too much cheap literature and marketing accounts, which lowered the average level of knowledge here."

"It's okay. I'll help you out." Sun Hang smiled. "Yang Qi gave me a set of high school math papers to do before, wanting to test my education level before I lost my memory. But I couldn't even do the simplest one."

"Then she filled in 'illiterate' in the education level column of your file?" asked Lao Wang.

"No, Director Yang still gave me face and filled in the form of an elementary school education."

"Well... don't be too depressed. Maybe you have been to college before. After all, many college students nowadays may not be able to finish a high school... or junior high school math test paper if you give it to them two days after graduation. There is a saying that goes, for most people, the third year of high school may be the year in which they have the richest knowledge reserves in their lives." Lao Wang patted Sun Hang on the shoulder to comfort him.

"How come you two still have time to joke around now?" Yang Qi asked angrily in the communication channel, "Do you know how much trouble we are in now?"

"What trouble?" Sun Hang glanced at the PFDAs of the Tenth Team. The engineers were still busy with the final stage of debugging. Based on Sun Hang's experience of installing dozens of PFDAs, he estimated that it would take another two or three minutes before it would be his turn to manufacture those mycelium components.

"The surface temperature of Chimera 17 is too high, and the 'insecticide' syringes can't get close at all." Yang Qi said, "Several assault teams that arrived at the target location have tried, and the syringes were all melted without exception. Two hunters got too close and suffered severe burns. They have now lost their combat capability."

"So, you expect me, with only an elementary school education, to help you solve this problem that even a bunch of top students with PhDs and master's degrees can't solve?" Sun Hang asked back.

"The composite material used in the syringe is the most heat-resistant material we can find, but it still can't withstand the temperature of Chimera No. 17's body surface. I wonder if your ability can solve this problem..."

"It's useless." Sun Hang rejected it immediately. "The high temperature of three or four degrees Celsius is too much for the Tai Sui mycelium to bear... As for the liquid metals I reconstructed, although they can withstand this temperature, the problem is that the internal temperature of liquid metals in that state will only be higher than the external temperature. You can't use them to inject pesticides into the interior of Chimera 17."

"I have an idea." Song Yarong said suddenly.

"What method?" Sun Hang, Wang Xiyi and Yang Qi asked at the same time.

Song Yarong's gaze stayed on Wang Xiyi for a few seconds, then she shook her head: "Forget it, it probably won't work, so I won't say anything."

"At least tell me what the solution is!" Yang Qi's tone sounded like she was about to cry. "...Okay." Song Yarong gritted her teeth, "My idea is to fill the inside of the nanorobots with insecticides and activators, and then inject these nanorobots into Wang Xiyi's blood vessels. I've seen Wang Xiyi's physical examination report. When she doesn't use her abilities, her blood temperature is less than 20 degrees Celsius... Although the black dragon is a cold-blooded animal, as long as the speed is fast enough, she should be able to touch Chimera 17 before the blood temperature rises to the threshold that the nanorobots can't bear."

"Are you planning to... use Wang Xiyi as a 'syringe'?" Yang Qi's voice suddenly became a little dry.

"But I made a preliminary estimate and the success rate is less than 20%, and... and..." Song Yarong looked away, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Wang Xiyi, "and if we do this, Wang Xiyi's chance of survival... is zero."

"Even the Black Dragon Meme can't withstand the high temperature of Chimera 17?" Sun Hang frowned.

"It's not Chimera 17's problem... it's the pesticide problem." Song Yarong shook her head and sighed, "For the infected, both the pesticide and the activator are highly toxic... and if the body is used as a syringe for such a highly toxic substance, Wang Xiyi... has no chance of surviving."

"Isn't it said that this insecticide was obtained by reverse engineering the meme of Chimera No. 17? How come this precision targeted drug becomes like a broad-spectrum antibiotic when used on Lao Wang?" Sun Hang asked puzzledly.

"That's because compared to the complexity of Chimera 17's memes, the infected's meme sequences are too simple and too fragile... The targeted drugs used to treat human diseases are deadly poisons to the mice in the laboratory. It's not a question of whether the target is hit or not, but a question of drug dosage... And the infected's memes are not even insects in front of Chimera 17, let alone mice." Song Yarong said, "It's hard for me to explain it to you in just a few words... In short, you just need to know that once the pesticide is injected into Wang Xiyi's body, no matter which method is used, she will definitely die."

"Is the success rate really that low?" Wang Xiyi suddenly asked.

"At most... no more than 20%." Song Yarong said, "I'm not referring to the success rate of the entire operation, but the success rate of you injecting the pesticide and activator into Chimera 17."

"That's pretty high, isn't it?" Wang Xiyi suddenly laughed, "Sure! Hurry up, hurry up and inject that insecticide into my body!"

As she spoke, she had already rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of slender, white arms with well-defined muscles.

The black scales on the outside of the arm had a metallic luster, and one could vaguely see the reflection of Chimera 17, like a huge fireball, reflected on the scales in the distance.

Wang Xiyi suddenly looked up at Sun Hang and said with a smile: "Do you want to have one last deep kiss? Otherwise, there may be no chance in the future. I don't want to leave you with any regrets."

"It's a 20% chance. Forget it." Sun Hang reached out and helped Wang Xiyi roll down her sleeves. "We are not gamblers who are desperate to lose. There is no need."

"But...but..." Yang Qi hesitated to speak.

"We really don't have a better way." Song Yarong helped her finish the second half of the sentence, "If I could, I would not hesitate to replace Lao Wang as the human injector... It's a pity that I was infected with the Tai Sui meme, not the Black Dragon meme."

"Among all the hunters present, the one with the strongest high temperature resistance besides Wang Xiyi is Crystal Princess from the second team." Song Yarong continued, "But her limit is only 1,700 degrees Celsius... It's far from enough."

"No, I mean... you seem to have fallen into a misconception." Sun Hang poked Song Yarong's head with his finger, "Why do you have to find a material that can withstand the high temperature on the surface of Chimera 17?"

"Do you want to say...?"

"Just attack Chimera 17 directly! If the temperature of the magma layer is too high, then blow it up and open up its magma layer. If the temperature below the magma layer is still high, then continue to blow it up! When it's deep enough, there's no need for a syringe. Just throw the insecticide and activator into the hole, and that's it, isn't it?"

Wang Xiyi and Song Yarong looked at each other. After two seconds, the latter whispered, "Doing this...will it really work?"

"It sounds more reliable than your plan... The key is that I don't feel uncomfortable doing this." Sun Hang said.

"But what can we use to blow it up?" Yang Qi said, "This is the key! Don't forget the three rounds of feint attacks not long ago. With the weapons we have now, it is very difficult to even clear the entanglements on the surface of the cocoon shell. How can we destroy the magma layer under the cocoon shell?"

"Let me try." said Sun Hang.

"Are you sure?" Yang Qi asked.

"No. But I want to try." Sun Hang said.

"Okay! Fukada Miki's assault equipment is ready. Team 10 and Team 11 will set off together!" Yang Qi said, "In addition, the organ that launches energy beams on Chimera 17 has been regenerated... If necessary, you can let them attract the firepower of Chimera 17."

The "they" Yang Qi mentioned were naturally the eight mass-produced hunters assigned to the tenth and eleventh teams.

[P.S. Regarding typos, I would like to mention this to everyone. Readers often ask why the author does not correct typos after they point them out. It’s not that I don’t want to correct them, but VIP chapters that have been published for more than seven days will be automatically locked, and the author has no right to modify them. If you want to modify them, you can only contact the editor-in-chief to unlock them.

For some more serious problems, you must find the editor-in-charge, but you cannot always bother the editor-in-charge just because of one or two typos. After all, he or she is in charge of a large number of authors and is very busy.

However, there is a way to solve this problem, which is the reader correction function that comes with the Qidian APP. Although the author cannot modify the locked chapters, if the reader uses the correction function and the correction content is adopted by the author, the original content can be replaced, which can directly bypass the problem of locked chapters.

So I hope everyone can use the reader correction function more often when catching bugs in the future. Thank you again and again! 】
