Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan initially planned to calculate how far he could drift in eight hours, but it didn't take long for him to realize that this matter was completely meaningless - he didn't drift here in the normal way at all. According to normal calculations, he should not be stuck on this beach, but should be crushed into a meat pie thousands of meters deep under the sea.

Not only was there something wrong with the undersea city, but there was something wrong with the entire sea area itself. Ke Lan even wondered if he had mistakenly entered a micro wormhole with a short-distance teleportation function before entering this area - but this The technology to create artificial wormholes has never appeared in the various ruins of Alpha Civilization, let alone humans.

Although mankind was forced to make a space jump during the nine-hundred-year voyage of Noah's Ark, that jump relied on a natural wormhole that had existed in the universe for hundreds of millions of years, and after the jump was completed After that, less than one-tenth of the people survived, and the entire ark was severely damaged. It took nearly a hundred years to recover.

Theoretically speaking, artificial wormholes are far less stable than natural wormholes. Ke Lan once read several related papers out of boredom. The author of the paper believes that even if humans have this technology in the future, the worms created will The hole can only exist for a very short time. In the words of the original author, it is about ten to twenty femtoseconds, and one femtosecond is only one quadrillionth of a second.

The reason why it can only exist for such a short time is because the energy required to maintain an artificial wormhole is an extremely terrifying number. Assuming that there is an artificial wormhole created by Alpha civilization in the sea, let’s not mention how long Alpha civilization has disappeared. Even if it is only one year, the energy used to maintain this artificial wormhole in this year is enough to drain the entire star system where Alpha Star is located...

It might not even be enough.

...Besides wormholes, there seems to be no other way for a living person like me to teleport to another place instantly without consciousness, right? Ke Lan thought hard for several minutes, and finally gave up. Well... Even professionals can't explain this kind of problem clearly, let alone a layman like him.

If this was the plot of a science fiction novel, perhaps he could use the excuse of indecision, quantum mechanics to excuse it. But the problem is that this thing really happened to him. He can fool others, but You can’t lie to yourself, right?

At least you're alive... It's better than dead. Ke Lan comforted himself.

It took Ke Lan nearly twenty minutes to take off the armor-like deep diving suit. However, as soon as he came into contact with the outside environment, his skin felt bursts of tingling pain.

This is not good news: the radiation concentration in this area is very high, which is fatal for Ke Lan who does not have spare protective clothing.

Fortunately, there are anti-radiation pills in the emergency backpack... Ke Lan found the small bottle marked Anti-radiation Nin, poured out two small pills from it, raised his head and swallowed it.

This is the smallest medicine bottle with only thirty-six medicines in it. If he takes two pills every four hours and then increases the dosage by two pills every four hours, this amount is not enough for him to take twenty-four pills. hours...

We have to figure out where this place is, and we also have to find a way to get in touch with the Pioneer. Ke Lan glanced around, and then walked towards the coastal bedrock not far away.

This rocky belt is more than ten kilometers away and almost surrounds the entire coast. The top of the bedrock is almost a hundred meters above the sea level.

Ke Lan found a gentle slope and climbed up on his hands and knees - there was no soil on it, and there was no vegetation cover, it was all bare rocks.

Although it looks very desolate, without any signs of biological activity, it also means safety - on Alpha Planet, the indigenous creatures themselves are synonymous with danger and threats.

As long as the problem of temperature saturation and radiation can be solved, Ke Lan's life will not be in danger for the time being.

Standing on the top of the bedrock and looking towards the sea, the mirage in the distance presented a completely different scene from before - the towers were shaking violently, there were burning fires everywhere, and a strange black mist shrouded them. The entire city was covered, and the aircraft in the sky fell like dumplings... After a while, those high towers began to sink one by one. The originally prosperous city was fragmented, the transportation network built in the mid-air was torn apart, and the scope of the black fog , is constantly expanding on the sea...

This mirage...could it be the ruins of the undersea city? Ke Lan was shocked - the ruins of the undersea city he was referring to were not the buildings built on the undersea plateau, but the pioneers. The original target point of the Zhe - Ruins No. A-094.

Is this an image record of recreating the city that sank to the bottom of the sea... Ke Lan took out the camera from his backpack and clicked the power button with the intention of giving it a try. As a burst of pixel snowflakes flashed across the screen, the camera actually started.

Is it because he left that sea area? Ke Lan glanced at the locator and communication device on his body, but unfortunately, these electronic devices were still in a faulty state, and he did not have the corresponding maintenance tools at hand. .

Hey, at least take a photo of this mirage first. This image should be able to sell for an astronomical number. Ke Lan pointed the camera at the sea, but to his shock, nothing appeared on the camera screen. Picture of mirage.

There was only a calm sea, no black fog, no fire, and no tall tower sinking into the sea.

What's going on?! He glanced through the optical viewfinder - black fog, fire, destroyed cities... But when he moved his eyes to the screen, there was nothing!

He stood there stunned for a few seconds, then turned around numbly, took out the mirror, and pointed it at the sea behind him.

The sea surface on the mirror was empty, no different from the camera screen.

In other words... this mirage can only be seen by Ke Lan's eyes.

No, to be precise, it's not that he is the only one who can see mirages, but these scenes are originally recorded in his mind. Only when he casts his sight on the sea, these scenes will appear in front of his eyes...

This is not a mirage at all. If I had to use one word to describe it, retinal projection would be more appropriate.

First it was text, audio...and now even images and videos are coming out... Ke Lan stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples vigorously, That damn stone tablet...it was stuffed into my brain. What kind of things...
