Chapter 43: Relic Exploration
There is an atmosphere in the Palanto plane, but the flight speed of the soldier mecha is still very fast. Soon, Qin Lun and others saw the ancient ruins in the projection record.
Except for Bobby, which was integrated with Attack, the other nine members of the patrol team came. The military mechas driven by Gise Flying Officer lost a part of the battle of the universe octopus, and there are still more than twenty left.
Because all the mobile forces left, the Gith Ordnance officer on the Attack urgently repaired the APB force field of the warship. Although the weapon system has not been repaired yet, it is enough to persevere until Qin Lun and others return to the rescue during a possible attack, so there is no need to worry about their safety in a short period of time.
This ancient ruin is located in the center of a continuous mountain range, and the ruins cover a huge area. From the sky, the entire mountain range has been transformed by a powerful force. In the center, a four-sided funnel appeared, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, in the shape of an inverted pyramid.
The four walls of the funnel pyramid are composed of countless giant steps. At the bottom is a small stone platform with nothing on it. What attracts everyone's attention is not this stone platform, but dozens of square corridors exposed up and down the four walls.
Perhaps because the Angel clan is huge, most of these corridors can accommodate four soldiers and mechas entering side by side, and the height is enough for the mechas to fly off the ground, so that they will not appear too embarrassing.
"This place seemed to be a base before, and we should gain something." Robin's instructions came from the communication channel of the entire team, "but here is well preserved, there may be defense measures left by the angel clan. Everyone should be careful."
"There are many channels, let's divide them into three teams!" Qin Lun asked the nine apostles to divide them into three groups, and took Frank and Sawa first to fly towards a corridor above the ruins.
Although Frank and Sawa are MT and the other are medical apostles, their strength is far behind other second-level apostles, so it is most appropriate for him to take care of them.
"Release the Detector Robot!" Qin Lun ordered Alex beside him.
Alex nodded and landed from the air near the entrance of the corridor. The soldiers' mecha's shoulder opened a hatch and fired several silver metal balls. These metal balls did not wait to land, and a luminous observation lens was easily poked out in front of them. A thin metal wing popped out on each side, making a buzzing vibration sound, flying towards the inside of the dark corridor.
At the same time, the shared picture of the sphere detector also appeared on the display screen of the soldier mecha.
Qin Lun and others did not leave anyone outside the ruins. The ruins were huge in size, almost no less than a giant city. There were countless passages, and even if there were hostile teams attacking, they could not block the entrances and exits. Therefore, they just left some warning devices in the hidden places outside, and all entered the ruins.
"Strange, I have seen the projection of the ruins of the original Gis Star on the Faith. Those ruins have a high technological content, but there seems to be no high-tech products here. The stone walls of the corridor are basically part of the mountain." Sava, an archaeologist, seemed more excited after entering the ruins, staring at the pictures from the spherical detectors along the way and murmured to herself.
"Hey, is there something wrong with the detection robot?" Vera, who was in front of the team, screamed in surprise.
Qin Lun frowned slightly, and he also saw the scene just now. The detection screen just shook for a while and it was completely blacked out. Moreover, several spherical detectors had problems at the same time, which was obviously not normal.
"Sir, do you need to put another batch of detection robots?" Alex asked solemnly.
"No need, Frank, go ahead!" Qin Lun shook his head. The situation just now was too strange. Since there was no problem with the first batch of detection balls, it would not be useful to put another batch. The ruins are still very large, and the detection robot needs to save use.
"Okay, young master!" Frank mentioned his Qiongqi bone shield, and went out to the front of the team. A few hairy tentacles grew on both sides of the head of the seventeenth Fallen Angel, which were the horns of the thorns of the eyes transformed by the holy thorns.
"Frank, be careful. The corner ahead is where the robot is detected!" After walking for a while, Qin Lun whispered.
"Yeah!" Frank agreed and landed on the ground. The mecha's right hand blocked the shield in front of him, bent over and walked carefully towards the corner.
"Stop!" Qin Lun suddenly felt a creepy feeling and blurted out.
"Swish~~" Before Qin Lun finished speaking, a stream of white smoke emerged from the bone shield in Frank's hand, and the hunchbacked servant stood there, and after a few seconds, he slowly retreated to everyone.
"Swish!" Alex seemed to have discovered something, pulled out the magnetic resonance knife equipped by the mecha, and dug out several dusty tubes on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor.
"It's an antimatter ray device with its own sensor!" Alex looked at the cylinder in the mecha's hand for a while and said in surprise, "After so long, these little things can still be used."
"No wonder the previous detection screen could not be seen in strange shapes. The antimatter rays had no brightness and blended with the surrounding dark environment." Vera picked up several pieces of the detector from the ground around the corner and said in amazement.
Frank looked down at the deep marks on Qiongqi's shield, and a trace of fear appeared on his honest face.
Because the technology is not enough, the APB force field of the soldier mecha is very effective against antimatter rays. If he had not stopped just now, the mecha would undoubtedly be cut into several pieces by antimatter rays. If a ray passes through the cockpit, whether he can survive depends on luck.
"It's a pity that Sherlock didn't follow him. He was most interested in this kind of thing!" Alex put the antimatter ray device into the equipment compartment of the mecha. The Giss people didn't know much about antimatter technology, so it has great research value to bring this thing out.
"There should be other mechanisms ahead. You take turns to release spherical detectors, saving use in two groups." Qin Lun thought for a while and said, "In addition, the three groups of members use different detection fields to minimize the risk factor."
"Sir, the communication signal inside the ruins is very poor. I cannot notify the other two teams of the situation here." Sava suddenly said with an ugly expression.
"Forget it, I hope they don't lose their manpower because of it!" Qin Lun sighed and led everyone to continue exploring. But after this scene, everyone lost their previous leisurely mentality, and the atmosphere in the team became tense unknowingly.
As time went by, Qin Lun felt that they had penetrated into the mountains of this ruins. This place was no longer completely a mountain stone wall, and metal composite structures began to appear on certain sections of the road. They were not far from the core of the ruins.
Although it was approaching an important position of the ruins, the defense devices similar to antimatter rays did not appear again, which made everyone feel relieved.
"Sir, look!" Vera suddenly shouted in surprise.
"See!" A trace of light flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, and a huge metal gate appeared on the picture coming from the detection robot. They finally walked to the end of the corridor.
"Swish!" At this moment, a dazzling white light flashed across everyone's projection screen, and the whole picture became darker.
"What's the detection robot killed again!" Sawa screamed.
"Release another batch, increase the number this time, and increase the output power of the APB force field. I guess this time it is not a fixed defense device." Qin Lun's heart was covered with a shadow. His vision was the strongest among the people. He just saw a strange look in the white light, but the thing happened too suddenly, and he was not sure what he saw.
"Kake!" Shortly after the second batch of detection robots were released, some strange sounds sounded deep in the corridor, as if they were still extending toward this side.
The second batch of detection robots were soon wiped out again, but this time, the picture everyone saw was more complete. The things that eliminated the detection robots seemed to be some strips, accompanied by strong electric light.
"Defensive formation!" Qin Lun strode forward, took over the Qiongqi bone shield from Frank's hand, and stood at the front of the team.
The team waited for a while, and the strange movements on the opposite side became louder and louder. With the help of the searchlight of the soldier mecha, they finally saw the object that was rushing towards them clearly.
"What is this?" While seeing the foreign object clearly, everyone's vigilance reached the highest level.
The object on the mecha screen is a monster robot with more than ten metal tails, shaped like a tadpole that has been magnified countless times. However, its tail is not one, but more than ten, and it crawls like tentacles.
The tadpole robot is very large, with half the size of the corridor cross-section. With more than a dozen metal tails or tentacles, it almost fills the corridor, forcing everyone to face it head-on.
The robot crawled very fast and instantly came to Qin Lun's front. A tentacle shook at the seventeenth Fallen Angel with dazzling light. "Bang!" Before Qin Lun could observe the trajectory of the tentacles, he felt the mecha shock and was directly knocked away by the tentacles.
"Shoot!" Qin Lun felt a lightness in his hand, and the extremely hard Qiongqi bone shield was split into pieces. He even saw the shield burning from the corner of his eyes.
"Bang bang bang!" The seventeenth fallen angel swept across a mecha like a bowling ball. The brilliance of the APB force field came one after another. All the mechas that were knocked out popped up far away and were embedded into the stone wall of the corridor.
The remaining lucky people quickly raised their guns to shoot, and the corridor was filled with dazzling light of particle beams. But they were quickly dumbfounded. A transparent mirror similar to an APB force field appeared on the body of the tadpole mechanical monster, defending all particle beams.
The only function of the particle beam is to push it away a little and does not cause any substantial damage.
"It's really hard!" Qin Lun crawled out of the pit on the stone wall, the mechanical bag behind him was completely opened, and four cylindrical metal objects ejected out and were suspended in front of the mecha.
