Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 149 Platinum
After killing the first mud crab, while Tang Yan pulled the steering lever and turned right, there was another burst of air bubbles rushing towards the second mud crab. In the same way, the engineering drill directly stuck to the target's face, smashing the ugly head Drill a big hole.

Then the third, the fourth...

When the SCV was gliding on the bottom of the water, and the sand stirred up by the battle continued to spread outwards, almost covering the sinking area of ​​the freighter, Zangfeng continued to jump back in the water.

The mire crabs below are very smart and know how to use the surrounding rocks to jump into the air, and cooperate with the mire crabs from the cabin to the deck area to hunt the Tibetan front.

The P-55 heavy-duty electromagnetic pistol and the Bosen FN92 sniper rifle are difficult to break through the shell of the mud crab underwater, and it is difficult for humans to adapt to the underwater combat environment in a short time. Zangfeng is very passive.

The sand and dust raised by the SCV on the bottom of the sea obscured his vision, and he didn't notice a mud crab jumping out of the cargo ship deck during the back jump. When he recovered, the pair of large pincers were far away from the jet pack of the Reaper armor. It was less than a foot away.

He originally wanted to replay the scene of dodging the black rope sniper during the attack and defense of the Jewel City, but just as he was about to make a move, a black shadow suddenly appeared obliquely and quickly approached his position.

Zang Feng didn't shoot.

The approaching shadow, carrying a gurgling wave, arrived before the mud crab hit the jetpack, colliding in one place.

The outstretched pincer never had a chance to touch the Reaper armor.

The dramatic scene happened behind him.

The gripping module of SCV's left arm protrudes forward, closes in the middle, and pinches the mud crab's body, tightening it more and more.

There was the crackling of bones breaking under the gurgling water.

The mire crab waved its arms and claws in the water and struggled desperately, but all efforts were in vain. It soon stopped moving and turned into a mass of dead things that slowly sank.

Zang Feng looked at the SCV rushing towards the deck, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

This guy Tang Yan... can always bring people unexpected surprises.

How did he know that deputy head Tang still had a heartache that couldn't go away.

The SCV was the trump card he was going to use to deal with the mud crab queen. Who knows what happened, they made such a big commotion in the area around the freighter, but they didn't even see the shadow of the mud crab queen.

How many bonus points are there for one SCV? 9100!

He came back from Teshima with less than 10000 reward points left on him. Even though some reward points from unknown sources have been credited in the past few days, the current system balance is only 1000.

From 1W5 reward points to 1000 reward points, it can be said that once he returns to the pre-liberation, he will not feel pain.

This heartache eventually turned into anger at the mud crabs, sending them to hell one after another.

Tang Yan heaved a sigh of relief when the last mud crab in his field of vision was crushed by the drill.

Although the jet pack of the Reaper armor can operate in water, he is confident that the SCV can also operate in water, but he is still a little bit worried that it has not been tested in actual combat.

Facts have proved that his idea is correct. SCV can operate in space and terrestrial environments, as well as underwater. After all, it is an engineering machine for interstellar colonization. Of course, it must be adaptable to all terrains and most planetary environments.

"This thing is really good." Zang Feng's voice came from the communicator.

Tang Yan said: "Well, it's far from the waste wood I imagined..."

Zang Feng: "..."

He didn't like to hear these words. It was a mecha, a mecha that could lift into the air and levitate. His deputy commander actually used the word "bad wood" to describe a powerful mecha. to show off.

Well, it's showing off!

If the people of Gemstone City saw the two-story mech in front of them, it would probably cause an uproar in the city, overshadowing the shocking effect of the four people and one dog tearing up the defense line of the West Gate.

"Not satisfied, are you? If you are not satisfied, come down and let me drive..."

Tang Yan laughed and said, "This thing doesn't match your character."

"What do you mean?"

"To be exact, it's an engineering mech, um, it's used to build houses and repair machinery." While speaking, he put away the claw module and activated the welding torch module, a blue light burst out, and the water vapor quickly spread out.

"Mechanical repair..."

Zang Feng also thought that the design concept of this mecha was similar to that of Mr. Skillful Hands. Drills, claws, welding torches, etc. are detachable parts, which can be replaced with lethal weapons when needed, such as the machine guns and grenade launchers used by Tang Yan before. Yes, I didn't expect it to be a pure engineering mech.

This thought is not regret, but speechlessness.

An engineering mecha has such combat power, what if it is replaced by a combat mecha?
"What are you thinking? Let's go!"

The voice coming from the communicator interrupted Zang Feng's random thoughts, and he casually agreed and entered the cargo ship cabin according to the original plan to look for the box containing "platinum".

Tang Yan did not leave the SCV to change the Death's Head armor, and entered the interior of the freighter along the large hole in the belly of the ship.

According to the information provided by Gao Kai, the height of the mud crab queen is about 3.8 meters. Since the interior space of the freighter can accommodate the mud crab queen, it can naturally accommodate SCVs.

When the light from the two searchlights at the waist and abdomen waved away the darkness that filled the inner space of the freighter, the sand and dust that had just fallen rose again, covering the field of vision with a layer of haze.

The hull has been soaked in seawater for a long time, and has lost its original appearance and become rusty, with barnacles and coral polyps growing on the surface.Dust is spread on the bilge, skeleton, turbine and other equipment, fragments of seaweed are spread on the ground, and occasionally dead bones can be seen scattered everywhere. Presumably, the corpses of the crew were torn apart by sea fish and turned into What it looks like now.

There is no mud crab queen, there really is no mud crab queen...

Where did this thing go?

Tang Yan drew a big question mark in his mind.

Gao Kai has no reason to lie to him at all, unless that guy doesn't want to live anymore.

Judging from the many mud crabs coming out of the wreck, it is indeed used as a nest by the mud crabs, so why is the mud crab queen not there?
Could it be...

Tang Yan looked up at the location of the island.

Could it be that the mud crab queen went to the island to give birth?
"Tang Yan...if you found something, come to the deck immediately."

"Understood." He waved away the messy thoughts in his mind, drove the SCV out of the cabin, activated the rear thrusters and flew to the upper deck.

There is no Zangfeng on it, only scattered mud crab corpses and barnacles covering the hull. Even if you drive an SCV and step on it, there is a very strange feeling.

"Zang Feng?" He called out.

no respond.

However, streams of fine air bubbles overflowed from the slope of the front deck close to the superstructure, followed by a thumping sound, because it was a bit dull and hoarse across the sea.

The barnacles and coral polyps attached to the deck began to loosen, and more and more air bubbles rose toward the sea surface.

Tang Yan frowned, and manipulated the SCV to slide between the deck and the railing. When the air bubbles were coming out, the barnacles that were originally attached to the deck surface flew into the water. Open slowly.

More dense bubbles gushed out, and the reaper armor was on the other side of the bubbles.

When Zang Feng stabilized his figure, he also drove the SCV slowly approaching, raised the pair of searchlights on the waist and abdomen to the maximum, and saw the sealed box placed under the deck.

"This is 'Platinum'"? !

"To be precise, it's the box containing 'Platinum'." After finishing speaking, Zang Feng sent a text message to the two people on standby on the salvage ship.

About 1 minute later, the cable from the crane approached the location of the sunken ship, and the signal lights used for positioning flashed and emitted a striking red light.

Zang Feng swam over quickly, pulled the cable back into the cargo hold with one hand, connected it to the slot of the airtight box, and sent new instructions to the salvage ship after confirming that the operation was correct.

The cable was quickly tightened, and then went up, and the large airtight box placed in the cargo hold successfully left the cargo ship with the help of Zang Feng, and rose towards the sea.

After confirming that the airtight cabin was out of the water smoothly, the two also activated the jetting device, left the ocean one after another, and landed on the front deck of the salvage ship.

Whoa!
The seawater containing radioactive substances gushes out from the SCV's sewage outlet, pours into the ditch specially used for drainage, and discharges into the sea surface.

Tang Yan pushed open the cockpit cover and walked quickly to the aft deck.

A three-meter-square airtight box was placed on the ground next to the crane. Although the surface was not covered with barnacles and coral polyps like the cargo ship, it was no longer what it used to be.

Gao Kai was using cleaning agent to try to get rid of the sundries outside: "I really don't know why the radiation didn't kill these nasty things."

Tang Yanxin thought that human beings have not been extinct due to nuclear pollution. How could these common marine organisms that appeared earlier than many land organisms be extinct so easily.

At this time, General Wang pointed to the airtight box that had been simply cleaned and said to the stern side: "Look, it's the door."

In the middle of the right side of the door facility is an electromagnetic lock, which seems to be functional, but requires an additional terminal device and the correct password to open it.

Tang Yan glanced at the SCV on the front deck, thinking it's better not to be too violent.

He ordered General Wang to enter the cabin and take out the terminal, connect the signal line and power supply line, and start the operating system.

"Amy, it's up to you."

"Remember to thank me, thank me 'good'."

"Okay, I will thank you very much." Tang Yan rolled his eyes, thinking that this female hooligan was hopelessly hopeless.

Just like the behavior in Vault 1001 at the beginning, he inserted his finger into the cassette slot of the terminal, and with the other hand he pretended to press continuously on the keyboard.

Rows of characters flashed across the display, and the data matrix kept changing.

General Wang stared at him dumbfounded: "Tang...Tang Yan, you...you still have this ability?"

Not only did General Wang lose his composure, Zang Feng and Gao Kai also looked confused.

Tang Yan hadn't shown his ability as a computer hacker in the past, and he had to rely on Beethoven's help to decrypt the contents of the data cassette in Vault 1083.

Everyone thinks that he is a good soldier, and occasionally he reveals the black-bellied appearance of an old fox in the officialdom. Who knows what new posture he has developed recently, and he can manipulate those decryption programs so skillfully.

"Do I have a lot of skills?" Tang Yan pointed to his head and said, "There...is an artificial intelligence."

ha?artificial intelligence?

General Wang had an expression of "You lied to me again, deputy regimental commander".

"This is real!"

General Wang looked at him with a straight face, as if saying "You can't fool me".

"Since I can teleport weapons and equipment remotely, what if I have an artificial intelligence living in my head?"

General Wang said: "If I were you, knowing that there is something in this place, I would have tried everything to get it out."

Tang Yanxin said, "You think I don't want to?" He was willing to invite Miss Amy out, even at the expense of her appearance.

However, it seems that it has been that once since coming to this world, with a woman named Lie Shou... Well, Lie is like a wild horse, impressive.

"What? You gave someone else what should belong to me while I was detained by the system, you heartless...smelly man..."

Tang Yan's brows trembled slightly, and his face was gloomy: "Shut up, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will use SCV's welding torch to seal your mouth."

"Bah, shameless."

Tang Yan was stunned, and it took him a while to realize: "Amy, the person who developed you must be a wretched guy and a pervert."

Ding, click!
The crisp sound interrupted the communication between the deputy head and Miss Artificial Intelligence.

He got up and went to the sealed box, grabbed the rusty handle and pulled it away. At this time, Zang Feng, wearing the reaper armor, walked up to him and said, "Come on." He grabbed the door handle with both hands and pushed hard.

cluck cluck cluck...

With a low sound, the heavy alloy door slowly opened, and the sunlight penetrated into the sealed box along the gap.

It was clean inside with no visible water stains or unpleasant smells.

There is another box in the 3-meter-square sealed box, about 1 meter high and half a meter wide, fixed in the middle by a stainless steel bracket.

There is a red five-pointed star printed on the interface facing the door of the sealed box, and there is a rotating wheel to the right of the center without any additional locking device.

It is obviously a priceless thing, but it is disguised as a container and transported on a civilian freighter... What exactly is "platinum"?
After confirming that there was no danger, Tang Yan stepped in, grabbed the wheel of the safety box, turned it counterclockwise a few times, and pulled it out.

The heavy metal door opened, revealing the contents behind.

The blue light expanded rapidly, enveloping his body.

That is not a ray that can harm the human body, it is caused by the reflection of the light coming in from the outside on the object.

General Wang and Gao Kai stared blankly at the contents of the box.

They didn't know what it was, and the most intuitive impression of them was two blue crystals, one big and one small.

The larger crystal is about the size of a human head, and the smaller crystal is only about a punch.

Such a big box, such tight protection, and such a mysterious appearance, just for two blue crystals?
"Captain, are we here in vain?" General Wang asked Zang Feng, but his eyes were wide open. If it was before a nuclear war, such a big crystal would be a treasure. After a nuclear war, it would generally be useless. Several people will be interested in them because they are difficult to sell.

Zang Feng shook his head and didn't say anything.

At this time Tang Yan suddenly took a few steps back, stood near the door, looked at the two crystals in front of him, and said a word, four words.

"Melo crystal..."
