"War traumatic stress syndrome," Ivan continued, "is a type of PTSD. The most famous example in history is undoubtedly the 'Annam War' that occurred from the 1950s to the 1970s. According to incomplete statistics,

More than one-third of U.S. soldiers participating in the Annan War suffered from the disease

Suffering from this kind of mental illness - in this war, the American army killed about 60,000 soldiers, but many of the surviving soldiers chose to end their lives by suicide after returning to the country... The lives of these suicides

The number has even exceeded the number of soldiers killed directly on the battlefield."

"I've heard about this war..." Hound curled his lips and said, "It is said that retired veterans will immediately become nervous as soon as they hear the sound of helicopter blades or metal collision, and even draw their guns and shoot at them.

People were shooting around. Besides that, they came into thick vegetation or

Hallucinations can also occur in places with complex terrain. I always suspect that there are people hiding in the trees and shrubs, pointing guns at me... This is a very classic topic in the history of war, and one of the required courses for field army officers.

, is to pay attention to and ensure the mental health of my subordinates..."

The hound paused, and a hint of sadness flashed through his eyes: "But what's the use? The people who wrote the project are experts in white coats, sitting in laboratories or offices. They have no personal experience.

Having experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, how can you help those soldiers get out of their nightmares?"

"Let's not mention this." Ivan said solemnly, "Since these survivors of the Velociraptor team suffer from war traumatic stress syndrome, will letting them join become a decision... become an unstable situation?

factor?"

Ivan originally wanted to say a time bomb, but after a second thought, he changed it to a more euphemistic term.

People with PTSD, especially veterans with combat trauma emergency syndrome, are fine without being stimulated. If they accidentally hit their stressors, the situation will be more troublesome than a few "black sheep" mixed in.

At least the purpose of those black sheep is for their own interests, and no matter how much they go too far, they will still retain some sense. However, a veteran with an outbreak of war trauma emergency syndrome is a complete madman and cannot communicate at all.

"But I think they are all quite normal, and they were all talking and laughing along the way... They don't look like the kind of people with mental problems." Zhuoligetu scratched his head and said.

"When mental patients are not sick, they are no different from normal people." Hound sat down cross-legged and tapped the edge of the hard rubber boot sole with his fingertips, "I think we should reconsider this kind of thing.

…The main thing is to seek stability.”

"I agree with Old Dog's point of view." Ke Lan said, "As far as the information I have obtained so far, there are indeed some indigenous creatures living inside the battleship, but there are no particularly powerful ones - the mutated lava cantharis in the power room is a special case.

, what we need are experienced hunters, and the requirements for personal strength are actually not high."

Just as Ke Lan finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated with a "buzz". He took it out and saw that the profile picture displayed on the screen was that of a familiar fat man - Ye Yan of the Ye Family Group.

Glancing at the dialog box of "The other party applies for video communication", Ke Lan covered the phone's camera with his thumb, and then clicked "OK."

"Hello, Mr. Ye?"

"Is it brother Ke Lan?" Ye Yan's voice sounded a little eager, and it also contained a bit of uncontrollable excitement.

"Ah, it's me, it's me, Mr. Ye, you are calling my mobile phone, so of course I am the one who answers the phone." Ke Lan replied.

"But...why is the picture over there so dark? I can't see you?" Ye Yan asked.

"Oh, this is because there is no light here, so I can't see it."

"There's no light? But it should be daytime over there right now, shouldn't you be in--" Ye Yan stopped abruptly, "Well, brother Ke Lan, we should be considered friends, right?"

"Forget it." From the first words Ye Yan said, Ke Lan already knew the other party's intention. Not to mention his sentence "It should be daytime over there now", which meant that Ye Yan already knew

Knowing that Ke Lan and the others were at the Mukahe military base, he must have known about the heretical sect's invasion and the ancient battleship.

"Ye's consortium has developed three more derivative models of Phoenix's skeleton. I'll have someone deliver them to you in two days. Oh yes, and the set of power armor you borrowed last time when you went to the South Sixteenth District to find someone.

, now that it has been finalized and put into production, I have also specifically asked the production department to reserve a few sets of customized models for you..."

"No reward for no merit, Mr. Ye, just tell me straight away, why do you have anything to do with us?" Ke Lan said bluntly.

"Uh...what, I got some news...did you just come back from the molten mine area?"

"yes."

"A big discovery was made in the mining area?"

"That's right."

"I heard that the harvest this time is amazing?"

"No, it's already on the news headlines..." Ke Lan said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, please don't test me. The reason you called me is about the 'Aguna Kotor' matter."

Ke Lan simply released his fingers covering the phone's camera and quickly walked to the edge of the giant pit.

He slowly turned the angle of the camera and scanned the entire stone wall. The crystal circuit structures flowing with various colors of light and extremely complex and delicate were all included in the image. Although Ye Yan did not make a sound, Ke

Lan could hear his breathing becoming obviously heavier.

"Ke, brother Ke Lan, this... this, this, this... is this the inside of the ancient battleship 'Aguna Kotor'?" Ye Yan swallowed a large mouthful of saliva with great difficulty and stuttered.

, "Listen, I heard that this battleship was built by a civilization that is more advanced than Alpha Civilization. Is this true?"

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Ye has obtained a lot of information." Ke Lan took back his mobile phone, "Yes, what you just saw is the central engine of the power room of the 'Aguna Kotor', but as for this battleship

Whether it was built by a third civilization or not, I can’t say, it has to be identified by professionals before a conclusion can be drawn.”

"Oh my god... when I first got this news, I couldn't believe it... I didn't expect that these were all true..." Ye Yan murmured, "How on earth did you get this battleship out?"

"Master Ye, do you think it sounds ridiculous for relic hunters like us who only pick up rubbish in ruins to be associated with such a magnificent ancient warship?" Ke Lan teased.

"No, no, what do you mean by a relic hunter who can only pick up trash? I have always thought that the relic hunter profession is very awesome and cool. Besides, brother Ke Lan, you are my savior, why would I say this to you?

I have always been optimistic about you and your God Hunting Group. I know that you

I will definitely be able to do something big...but, but..." Ye Yan swallowed again, and the order of the words was slightly confusing, "But what I didn't expect was...this business...is also too big...

It’s really…a little bit too big…this is completely beyond my imagination.”

"Yeah, it's a billion points, a billion points a bit bigger." Ke Lan nodded.

"Ah, let's not talk about it for now. When I came to you this time, I actually got the news that the United Parliamentary Group decided to open this battleship as the nineteenth S-class relic... But this opening is not open to all organizations and organizations.

It's open to individuals, but only with the permission of the person in charge can you participate in the exploration and development of this 'relic'." Ye Yan rubbed his hands nervously, "I heard that Brother Ke Lan, you are the one...

The person in charge?"

"Who did you listen to?" Ke Lan looked at the nervous and expectant look on the little fat man's face, and felt a little funny in his heart, so he joked.

"...Ah, I can't tell where the news came from, but I can only guarantee that the news is reliable." Ye Yan said with a confused look on his face.

"Since you know the news is reliable, why are you still asking me?" Ke Lan narrowed his eyes, "Ask the person who gave you the news."

"No...Brother Ke Lan, you have misunderstood me...You also know that I have no ability and have no access to the core power of the family...In fact, the person who received the news is my father. The reason why I can know

These things are all because I have a good personal relationship with you, so the family decided to send me to find you." As he spoke, Ye Yan suddenly changed his attitude, "But there is one thing

I can guarantee one thing. Within the scope of authority given to me by the family, I will try my best to help Brother Ke Lan get as many benefits as possible. Brother Ke Lan, if you have any requests, just put them forward... Even if it is

Outside of my authority, I will also report it to my elders and the board of directors. As long as we, the Ye family, can satisfy it, I think my father and the others will not refuse."

"Tsk, you guy, it's obvious that you haven't learned how to negotiate with others." Ke Lan said with a smile, "How can anyone quote their entire base price as soon as they come up? How can you bargain with me later?

"

"It's not that I don't want to bargain, it's that there is no room for bargaining at all..." Ke Lan always felt that Ye Yan was about to cry, "Not only our Ye family, but other big families and consortiums have also received the news.

, they are looking for your contact information all over the world——

Did you know that in the reception room of your hunting group headquarters, there are at least twelve high-level figures from different forces waiting for you? Even the door is full of people. As for your fiancée, Miss Soma, she has been harassed to the point of being shut down.

I lost all my communication equipment and I can’t even get through to my private number.”

Ye Yan paused, then continued with a grimace: "Brother Ke Lan, this is not a reciprocal negotiation at all, but a big Black Friday sale - if you are quick, you will be lucky, but if you are slow, you won't! If it weren't for those people

You are all the same as me, if you have your private number in your hand, your phone number will probably be blown up."

"Hey!" Leighton on the side suddenly exclaimed, "I just checked the business email of our hunting group. There were only a few advertising emails last night, but now there are 2,000 unread emails. Email

!”

"There are 2,000 emails because the mailbox can only temporarily store 2,000 unread emails. When you process the previous emails, more emails will be sent in the future..." Ye Yan also heard what Leiton said.

The voice said with a wry smile, "Brother Ke Lan, now you know how popular you are, right?"

"Is the exploration and development rights of 'Yagunaktor' really that important?" Ke Lan asked, "Actually, if there are any important discoveries, they will usually be sent to the research institute first, and wait until the research institute can crack them.

After that, can’t you just buy it from the institute?”

"Well, by that time, we will really be unable to keep up with the hot stuff even if we eat shit... I'll tell you the truth, our Ye family's new body development is actually in trouble, and several technologies have encountered bottlenecks. The Phoenix Skeleton

The development cost is sixty times that of the previous generation's main skeleton, but the performance has only improved by less than 10%. This is still the result of using a large number of experimental technologies..."

"That's true." Layton interjected, "There are many innovations in the Phoenix skeleton, but I think they are unnecessary. It's not that you are superfluous, but the stability of those new technologies is too poor, just to pursue that little bit.

To improve the performance of the child, it will significantly increase the instability of the body, which is not a cost-effective deal at all."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Almost all the new technologies cracked by the institute have been bought by us. I'm afraid there won't be much breakthroughs in the past few years. As for competitors such as Anaheim, they

It is impossible to sell the new technologies developed to us... In recent years, our Ye's market share has actually been declining, which is why the board of directors is so anxious."

"It's good, healthy competition, breaking the monopoly, benefiting consumers." Ke Lan joked again, "If the mecha market is monopolized by your Ye family, the price will probably double."

"Hey, Brother Ke Lan, please stop joking... This ancient battleship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us and all consortiums. Whoever seizes the opportunity will be able to win in the future.

To have the right to speak in the technological competition... If nothing else, the three halos on the tail of the ancient battleship are probably a kind of counterattack.

The concept of gravity device is completely different from the suspension technology... If this thing can be miniaturized and used on battleships and mechas... the improvement in performance is simply unimaginable. There is also the kind that can directly cause damage to living organisms, and

A weapon that can also distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, my God, I can't even imagine how it works..."

Seeing Ye Yan being so excited that his saliva was flying, Ke Lan couldn't help but think, if I let you know that this battleship also has a Star Destroyer Cannon and a jump device, wouldn't you be afraid that you would faint?

"Well, I have a question... What we need now is a partner to explore the ruins. In other words, what we lack are ruin hunters, but I remember that your Ye Family Group doesn't seem to have a hunting group?"
