Alien Relic Hunter

Apply sodium chloride, then use bandages to tie up the cut chest and abdominal cavity of the corpse, and stuff it into a body bag. The entire dissection process is basically completed.

The person responsible for carrying the body bag was Collins. As soon as he threw the body bag on his back, Ke Lan discovered that the body of this humanoid monster was really light. Although a large amount of blood was lost during the autopsy process, Including the weight of the body bag, it's not even 20 kilograms... You know, this humanoid monster is nearly 160 centimeters tall.

Height of 160 centimeters and weight of 20 to 30 kilograms... Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the photos of anorexic patients he had seen online.

But the problem is... there are a lot of undigested food residues in the digestive system of this humanoid monster. From a certain point of view, "it" does not lack food, so why does it turn into such a skeleton-like shape? What does it look like?

But if you want to get the answer, you must conduct a detailed examination of the body... Only research or medical institutions on the Ark have such conditions, but Ke Lan also knows that the 776 Special Team bought a one-way ticket for this mission. .

They can't come back, and this corpse sample can never be brought back to the Ark.

The 776th Special Forces Team began to move forward.

The rotunda connects three narrow corridors, and there is a similar rotunda at the other end of the corridor. Many rotundas are connected together, and one hexagonal "grid" after another forms a honeycomb network... ...This structure reminds people of the structural diagram of graphene.

(Note: Graphene is an "extremely thin" graphite sheet with only one layer of carbon atoms. The structure of the carbon atoms is arranged in a honeycomb shape on the horizontal plane.)

Holding a tablet in his hand, Martin used drawing software to draw every new rotunda he found. Soon, a map like a honeycomb appeared on the screen.

"It's a bit strange..." Gino looked at the "map" that Martin shared on the team channel and said, "These halls arranged in a honeycomb structure are very empty, except for the humanoid monster that was encountered earlier. There are no living things, not even dead things. The walls, floors and ceilings are all flat and smooth, and there are no additional devices, equipment or mechanisms. Don’t you find it strange?"

"Yeah, it's empty. There's not even garbage on the ground." Connelly continued, "In this way, we can't even judge the function of these halls..."

"I have a rough guess about the function of these halls." Jino added, "If this ruins is really an 'engine,' then the 'crater' at the top of the cone should be the engine's jet. , and the honeycomb halls we are in now are located exactly at the outer outline of the jet... In addition, the metal walls of these halls are tightly connected without any gaps or holes. I suspect that the function of these halls is to provide cooling The cooling agent is used to cool down...just like those exposed copper pipes on the engine of an off-road vehicle."

"According to you... our feelings have been spinning in the cooling tank?" Connelly said with some helplessness.

"Even if it is a cooling tank, it must have a diversion port and an inspection opening." Jino said, "The crack we just entered should be an inspection opening."

"If your guess is correct," Sergeant Ken said, "the access port will only be set at the outer edge of the cooling tank, and we only need to move along the edge."

"Um."

…

After circling the outer edge of the entire ruins for a while, the members of the 776 Special Forces Team finally discovered the second exit.

This exit was blocked by a heavy air-tight door. After opening the air-tight door, a downward step appeared in front of the 776 Special Forces Team.

The few people walking in front looked at each other, and each other's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement - although there is a high probability of unknown dangers below, it is better than walking through the unchanging cooling tank network all the time.

"Be careful, the stairs are very steep, go down one at a time." Sergeant Ken said, patting Martin on the shoulder, "You are the first."

"Oh..." Martin nodded reluctantly, picked up the gun, and walked slowly step by step, relying on the tactical flashlight on the leather rail and the searchlight on the armored shoulder of Samuel Dreadnought behind him.

The width of the steps is about 1.5 meters, and there are hard and cold iron walls on both sides. In order to have enough reaction space in case of emergencies, the entire team was pulled into a long snake formation, one after another. Went down the steps.

"Martin, can you see the end of the steps?" Sergeant Ken asked on the communication channel.

"Can't see...the visibility is very poor. Even Samuel's searchlight can only find about a hundred meters ahead...but about thirty meters away from me, there seems to be something on the steps." Martin replied.

"What is it?"

"Can't see clearly...it looks a bit like...a landmine?" Martin said with some uncertainty.

"Landmines?" Sergeant Ken was stunned for a moment, "Everyone, stop advancing."

"Kino, send a drone over to check the situation." Sergeant Ken ordered again.

Although landmines are words invented by humans, similar weapons also exist in Alpha Civilization. The landmines of Alpha Civilization are not only more powerful and have a wider killing range, but are also not made by humans in terms of concealment and sensitivity. Mines can be compared.

There once was a mobile force of about 200 people, but the group was wiped out because it mistakenly hit a mine buried in the valley. The power of that "mine" was no less than the tactical-level mine equipped by the Ark Army. Nuclear warhead.

The drone was released, making a subtle "buzzing" sound, and flew directly above the "mine" that Martin said.

Jino stared at the screen of the operator for a long time, and then said in a strange tone: "Boss... that thing doesn't seem to be a mine."

"what is that……"

"I feel...like a can." Gino replied.

"Canned?" Everyone, including Ke Lan, couldn't help but recall the food residue found in the stomach of the humanoid monster...

"Bring this thing back." Sergeant Ken ordered.

A mechanical arm stretched out from the bottom of the drone, clamped the suspected "can" thing, and flew back.

This is indeed a can. The material should be some kind of alloy with aluminum as the main component. The easy-open lid on the top is missing, and there is still some grease and fine minced meat left inside the can.

But what attracts most attention is the bottom of the can.

There is a line of inscriptions there, which were rolled out with a steel seal.

Not those alpha characters that look like ghostly symbols, but a string of...

Arabic numerals.
