That night, Zhou Jian went to the Brazilian Jungle Hunters Association. He came here to rent a helicopter. Even the best jungle hunters would find it difficult to get an armed helicopter of their own. Generally, people with this worth would already have it.
Give it up. After all, this is a life-threatening profession. Of course, it does not rule out that there are some desperadoes who are naturally adventurous. For them, jungle hunting is not for making a living, but for enjoyment.
At the beginning of the last century, armed helicopters were still a technology that only a few major military countries could master. The so-called armed helicopters Wuzhi-9 and Wuzhi-8 in most countries, including China, were actually improved versions of ordinary helicopters. Compared with foreign Apaches, they were shorter.
There is still a big gap between Alligator, Cobra and other armed helicopters.
Later, the catastrophe broke out, and the level of human armaments was greatly improved. However, even so, an armed helicopter that can truly fight in the jungle is not something that a jungle hunter association can afford, and it is not necessary.
The armed helicopter used by the Hunter Association is still a modified version, which is roughly equivalent to the level of the Chinese Wuzhi-9, but its endurance is much stronger, with a maximum range of 1,500 miles, which sounds quite far, but because going to the Amazon forest is a round trip, and it takes
With flight time set aside for search, the helicopter can only rescue jungle hunters who are within 700 miles of the Amazon forest.
Zhou Jian went to the Jungle Hunter Association to go through the formalities, paid a deposit of US$15,000, and successfully rented an armed helicopter. If the maximum distance was 700 miles, the travel expenses would be more than US$13,000.
A small passenger plane carrying only thirty-five people rumbled across the sky. This plane didn't look very good, but in fact it cost more than the Boeing 767 at the end of the 20th century. It was made of special alloy metal.
Turbine blades are enough to withstand the impact of birds at Mach 1.0. If an ordinary passenger plane hits a flock of high-speed birds, it will make an forced landing due to damage to the engine turbine blades, and may even catch fire and crash.
In addition, the rainproof system of this kind of aircraft is very good. You must know that the Amazon forest rains on average seven days a week, and there are often dense and heavy thunderstorms. Generally, passenger planes will be grounded if it rains heavily.
This is not because of the fear of being struck by lightning. In fact, it does not matter much even if the aircraft is struck by lightning when passing through a thunderstorm area, because the outer shell of the aircraft is very conductive, and strong current will flow through naturally without causing any damage to the casing.
Any damage would involve at most destroying some radio equipment or something.
Because the casing forms an equipotential body of its own, the passengers inside it will be naturally short-circuited without any feeling. This is the same principle as when a bird stands on a high-voltage power line, because the distance between the bird's two feet is very short.
, the potential difference is very small, so even if a high-intensity current passes through the high-voltage line, the bird will be safe.
However, when an airplane flies on a rainy day, not only will the heavy rain affect the pilot's vision, but the jet engine will stall due to inhaling too many raindrops. In addition, the downdraft under the clouds will also make the airplane fly unstable, so it is too rainy.
If it gets too big, planes will be grounded.
The modified aircraft of the Jungle Hunter Association uses an improved military jet engine. The high-speed rotating turbofan in front of the engine can throw away most of the raindrops and broken ice slag, and the remaining small bits can also be centrifuged in the inner duct of the engine.
It disperses and then heats to volatilize, so it can fly without fail during thunderstorms.
In addition to these, the aircraft is also equipped with a 6,000-round-per-minute GT5 Vulcan heavy machine gun and Sidewinder series tracking missiles.
This kind of aircraft was modified from a civilian aircraft by the Brazilian fbh bounty hunter company and is specially used to transport jungle hunters. Of course, the engine and weapon system, which are the core of the aircraft technology, were purchased directly from the United States.
The plane quickly flew to the heart of the Amazon forest. Zhou Jian looked at the GPS positioning system on his wrist and pressed the bell above the seat.
"Getting off the plane?" The only stewardess on the plane looked at Zhou Jian in surprise. The young man in front of him looked to be at most twenty years old and not very strong. He actually chose to get off the plane at this place, which is the thickest place in the Amazon forest.
It's a dangerous area, and going down there is almost suicide.
"Yeah." Zhou Jian nodded.
"Are you sure you want to get off the plane here? Below is the famous Triangle of Death in the Amazon forest."
"Yes." Zhou Jian replied calmly, ignoring the surprised or pitiful looks of the jungle hunters sitting at the table. Those jungle hunters were talking in Portuguese. Although Zhou Jian couldn't understand, he could roughly guess it.
They were debating whether they were crazy or idiots.
"Sir, although you can freely choose where to disembark, I must tell you that in the one year I have been working for fbh company, I have only seen two passengers disembarking here. As far as I know, they are both dead.
,According to statistics from the Jungle Hunters Association, the mortality rate after disembarking here exceeds 85%.
Most of the 15% of people who survived could not hold on, so they sent a rescue signal and left by helicopter. The maximum rescue distance of a helicopter is only 700 miles, but it is more than 1,100 miles from Norris City, which means you have to at least walk.
400 miles to…”
"Thank you for your advice. I checked this information before boarding the plane." This stewardess was kind-hearted. Zhou Jian interrupted her and apologized with a friendly smile. After all, the plane was going very fast, so he allowed the stewardess to continue.
You might have missed your disembarkation point.
"Okay." The stewardess stopped trying to persuade Zhou Jian and used the intercom to inform the pilot to open the cabin door.
Zhou Jian left his seat with his parachute bag on his back, and strode to the cabin door regardless of the looks of pity or ridicule from the bounty hunter in his seat.
The howling wind tore his hair, and beneath his feet was the Amazon forest that stretched like a green ocean.
This forest, which symbolizes primitiveness, has now become a hell of killing and a paradise of desire. Countless jungle hunters rush to the Amazon, hoping to get rich overnight, but most of them just become dead bones buried here.
Zhou Jian gritted his teeth and jumped down.
The small passenger plane was not flying very high. Not long after Zhou Jian landed, he felt a sudden pull on his back. The whistling wind in his ears subsided and his parachute had successfully opened.
Skydiving is not difficult to learn. Some people think that there are no parachute bags on passenger planes because passengers have not received professional training. Skydiving will most likely lead to death. This is not the case. It is true that passengers are not trained. Then the driver can skydive, right?
, in fact, once the plane crashes, the pilot is not heard of surviving.
Some people say that passenger planes do not have parachute bags because the plane flies in the stratosphere. The air pressure and temperature outside are low. If you jump, you will die. This statement is quite speechless. Only the mentally retarded can fly in the stratosphere above 10,000 meters.
For skydiving, in fact, many times when the plane has an accident, you can still hover at low altitude for a while to find an emergency landing point. At this time, the skydiving height is absolutely important. Even if the plane loses power and cannot maintain low-altitude hovering, and there is not enough time for everyone to parachute, you can also set up an ejection seat.
chair.
In fact, civilian airliners do not have parachute packs because in most cases, the aircraft can make an emergency landing safely if it malfunctions. Even if it is mid-air and runs out of fuel, it can glide down by inertia. Of course, unless the tail of the aircraft is broken, it will be dead.
, in fact, this kind of thing really happened in history, because it hit the air turbulence and could not fly.
In order to stabilize the aircraft, the pilot over-adjusted the rudder of the tail, resulting in excessive pressure. The synthetic material of the old aircraft's vertical tail was torn off. Sometimes I was lucky and just tore off the rudder, and there was still the possibility of an emergency landing.
, and the vertical tail fell off, basically announcing the death of the crew and passengers.
At that time, the plane lost its horizontal balance and rolled in the air. Then the wings and turbine engines disintegrated one after another because they could not withstand the huge air pressure. They could not stand firmly and could not jump out even with a parachute. At that time, the plane was never suitable for parachuting.
It took only a few seconds for the plane to crash from such a height that even the passengers of the passenger plane had no time to parachute.
Plane crashes are usually caused by a failed emergency landing. This probability is very small. No one has the ability to predict the future. The probability of death by parachuting rashly is greater. After all, even trained paratroopers may die due to parachuting.
Zhou Jian's parachute is directly connected to the aircraft and opens automatically. It only takes a little learning to operate it skillfully.
The sky was overcast, and the visibility in the Amazon forest with stacked trees was very low. Zhou Jian's parachute finally hung on the treetops. He took out his saber to cut off the parachute rope and jumped down. After landing, Zhou Jian let out a long sigh of relief and parachuted at a low altitude.
The feeling is really exciting.
The ground of the Amazon forest is covered with fallen leaves. After long-term accumulation, the leaf litter has become as thick as a soft carpet. Various shrubs and trees are lush and green. The air is filled with the smell of fresh earth. Occasionally, you can hear the pleasant chirping of insects or insects.
Birds sing, they are courting or announcing their territory to similar species.
Everything seemed peaceful, but Zhou Jian knew that behind this tranquility was hidden murderous intent everywhere.
Zhou Jian first threw the GPS positioning device on his wrist into the inventory, and then activated the sneak skill. In the Amazon forest, the danger is unpredictable. Maybe a branch next to you suddenly jumps up and attacks you. You don't realize it until you die.
It's not a branch at all, but a mimicking snake. The animals here are all experts in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. Even experienced jungle hunters are likely to be attacked unknowingly, and then eaten and turned into improved feces.
Rainforest soil.
Killing at every step, startling at every step, this is the Amazon forest.
The light in the rainforest was dim because of the trees, and Zhou Jian's field of vision was only a dozen meters away.
Hunting here is hard work. Not only is the visibility very low, but the air is hot, humid and airtight. In addition, the vegetation is dense. It is not easy to find a way to get down. Various mosquitoes in the rain forest bite people day and night.
, in fact, you are lucky to be bitten by black mosquitoes as long as knuckles. If you are bitten by some weird things, such as Amazon poison dart frogs or Amazon bluetooth tarantulas, you will probably die.
If you want to sleep in the rainforest, you must use a special sleeping bag. This kind of sleeping bag should be tough and waterproof, otherwise even if it doesn't rain, the moisture in the forest will be enough to wet the sleeping bag overnight.
After taking out the sleeping bag, climb up the tree, tie the sleeping bag rope to the branch, then climb into the sleeping bag and sleep like a hanged ghost. Before going to sleep, you have to pray that you won't encounter any animals like gibbons at night and will steal the sleeping bag.
Peel it like a large silkworm cocoon and eat it.
Most jungle hunters simply do not dare to spend the night in the rainforest, which is one of the reasons why they cannot come to the heart of the Amazon.
Zhou Jian took out the backpack from the inventory. All the items in it were purchased according to the list that the Brazilian beauty made for him.
A strong flashlight, a saber, two climbing ropes, a bottle of aromatic hydrocarbon repellent, two sets of clothes, a waterproof lighter, an MP5 submachine gun, 300 rounds of ammunition, and a 44-caliber Desert Eagle,
Two magazines, a launch hook, a GPS locator, a spare American compass, and a small telescope
Telescope. In addition, there is a wax-like thing. The smell of this thing is similar to a sterol compound secreted by mutant anacondas when they are courting. Mutated anacondas of the opposite sex can't see each other even ten kilometers apart.
You can smell it. Without it, trying to find the poor mutated anaconda in the vast Amazon forest, which is a small number in total, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zhou Jian smeared the wax on his body, sprayed some insect repellent, and then he started his trip to the Amazon jungle.
It is not easy to walk in the lush Amazon forest. Tall trees take up most of the space, and layers of shrubs and saplings are found here and there. In addition, there are various vines climbing and parasitizing on them. In many places, Zhou Jian
You have to bend your back to pass.
Zhou Jian walked aimlessly for several kilometers in the jungle. After pushing through the thick bushes, Zhou Jian found a long black animal like a pig crawling on the ground looking for food. After walking so far, Zhou Jian
Finally, I met an animal I recognized. This thing is called the American tapir.
American tapirs are not ordinary ugly, they are timid by nature and feed on plants.
Although Zhou Jian's footsteps were very light, the American tapir still felt something. It raised its big head and looked around. Its pig-like nose stretched and shrank, as if it was sniffing something. In the end, it still couldn't see the invisibility.
Zhou Jian, who was in the middle, hummed a few times and lowered his head to look for food.
Zhou Jian observed it for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him: Can the ghost slayer's clone capture the baby in reality?
In the game "Gods and Demons", there is a map called Holy Beast Mountain. Holy beast babies will be spawned on the Holy Beast Mountain. Players above level 20 can come to Holy Beast Mountain to catch the babies and bring them back to be cultivated. Then, through matching, breeding, and screening, they can be cultivated.
Second-generation and third-generation babies with excellent talents can learn skills after upgrading, including auxiliary skills, attack skills, status skills, etc. The baby can take elixirs to increase attributes, and after reaching a certain level, they can also configure equipment.
