"Old classmate, do you also believe what your boss says?"
After hearing Lasko's words, Clyde couldn't help but look at him with confusion. When Clyde thought about it, Zhuang Rui's previous speculation was completely nonsense. There could not be such a large creature in the ocean.
"Clyde, that sea area is indeed very mysterious. For so many years, I have been trying to solve this mystery, but without success.
We have tried this idea proposed by Mr. Zhuang before, but we did not detect any movement on the seabed. We hope we can find something this time..."
As Lasko said, they had previously surveyed this sea area by helicopter, but due to the limited space of the helicopter, they could not carry some deep-sea exploration equipment, so several explorations ended in vain without any results.
Although Lasko was very interested in Zhuang Rui's survey, he didn't put much hope in it. Sitting in a helicopter was not dangerous anyway, so he might as well sell Zhuang Rui a favor.
Moreover, Zhuang Rui's previous statement was not entirely unreasonable, because not long ago, a well-known marine biologist with an international reputation once put forward an argument that in suitable sea areas, octopuses can
It looks infinitely large, which somewhat coincides with Zhuang Rui's statement.
After hearing Lasko's words, Clyde shrugged his shoulders and said: "Well, I would rather believe that it is a volcano, but I am not opposed to surveying it again..."
Although he disagreed with Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde was the first to get in after a military helicopter transferred from the coastline by Lasco parked on the deck of the "Xuan Rui" more than an hour later.
Looking at the six missile launchers under the helicopter in front of him and the machine gun mounted on the hatch, Zhuang Rui tilted his head and looked at Peng Fei and asked, "Is this the famous "Apache" armed helicopter?"
In fact, Zhuang Rui knew about the U.S. "Apache" armed helicopters when he read reports on Iraq. The reason why he remembered it deeply was because there were often reports such as "The U.S. Army's Apache helicopters in Iraq happened again."
Explosion accident" and other news.
Peng Fei curled his lips and said: "Yes, it is the "Apache" helicopter. It is flashy and not as practical as the Russian Mi-28 "Havoc" series of armed helicopters..."
Due to the war in the early 1950s, Chinese soldiers with Xiaomi and rifles were both envious and jealous of American weapons. In their hearts, they were more inclined to the equipment of the former Soviet Union. After all, the two countries had a long honeymoon.
time.
"Come on, don't you kid pull me down..."
Zhuang Rui kicked Peng Fei from behind. He was quite satisfied with this helicopter. Compared with the helicopter on the Xuan Rui, which could only carry three people, this one was able to carry more people and range.
They are much better than civilian helicopters.
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei plus Captain Clyde and General Lasco, as well as the two generals' guards and pilots, took a total of seven people on board, and there was still a little space in the cabin.
…
After nearly an hour of flight, the Apache helicopter made a huge roar and arrived at the coordinate point in the sea area where the Xuan Rui had previously stayed.
"Mr. Zhuang, is this right here?"
Since the helicopter door was not closed and the sea breeze roared into the helicopter, General Lasco almost had to roar to make Zhuang Rui hear him.
"Yes, this is the coordinate..."
Zhuang Rui used his spiritual energy to detect a place ten kilometers away. Next to the larger submarine volcano, the huge creature was still entrenched, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
If Zhuang Rui hadn't seen it move "with his own eyes" before, he might have thought it was just a submarine mountain range.
General Lasco nodded, looked at the driver, and shouted: "Turn on the deep-sea radar scanning system to survey the sea below..."
After hearing the general's words, the pilot started operating the operation skillfully and loudly replied: "Yes! The deep-sea radar scanning system has been turned on..."
Originally, this "Apache" helicopter was not equipped with a radar scanning system. General Lasco had it installed temporarily. However, on a helicopter with extremely poor stability, the effect is far from the same as on a ship.
Than.
On the radar scanning display on the driver's right side, there are no light spots on the seabed except for two shadows. This also shows that there are no moving objects in this sea area.
"Zhuang, the creature you are talking about is this volcano?"
General Lasco pointed at the shadow and looked at Zhuang Rui, "We have conducted radar scans of this sea area before, but this volcano has never moved. I'm afraid there is an error in your radar system?"
The scene he saw this time was no different from previous explorations, so General Lasco was a little disappointed. After hearing Zhuang Rui's story, he thought he could see something out of the ordinary.
Zhuang Rui shook his head, pointed to the display screen, and said: "General Lasko, you can't go wrong. The radar system on my salvage ship is the best in the world. There must be deep-sea monsters here..."
"Boss, volcanoes don't grow legs. You must have an illusion..."
Clyde felt a little uncomfortable about his previous escape from this area on the Xuan Rui. Although the order was given by Zhuang Rui, deep down in his heart, he also had a deep fear of this place.
Zhuang Rui ignored Clyde. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I have a way to detect that guy..."
"any solution?!"
Including Peng Fei, several people in the cabin asked at the same time. Even the two officers serving as Clyde's guards also looked at Zhuang Rui with curious eyes.
"Put a depth charge down to alert the monster!"
Zhuang Rui's eyes shone with a glimmer of light. The shock wave produced by the explosion of the depth charge in the sea would definitely alarm the monster. If it landed right on top of its head, it goes without saying that it would definitely make the overlord of the sea go crazy.
The depth bomb Zhuang Rui mentioned is an underwater weapon used to attack submarines. It is usually equipped with a fixed-depth fuze. After being put into the water, it sinks to a certain depth or detonates when approaching the target to kill the target. It is usually carried by a ship or an anti-submarine weapon.
Aircraft launch.
Li Zhen originally wanted to equip the "Xuan Rui" with a few weapons, but Zhuang Rui rejected it. If there were submarines in the sea that really wanted to deal with them, they would be impossible to avoid. There was no need to arm these things.
However, Zhuang Rui heard Li Zhen explain the principle of the depth bomb. The depth bomb contains a large amount of high explosives. After being detonated by the detonator, a large amount of shock waves will be generated. Zhuang Rui believes that this level of shock wave is enough to alarm
To the undersea creatures.
"Depth charges?"
General Lasco smiled bitterly and said: "Zhuang Rui, this helicopter is not equipped with depth bombs. Those are only found on anti-submarine helicopters..."
Depth bombs are not unusual in General Lasko's eyes. The cost of such bombs is very low. With his authority as a general, it would be nothing to use hundreds of them. However, this helicopter is not equipped with them.
"No?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that the planned thing would be stuck here. However, thinking about the missile launcher hanging under the helicopter he saw when boarding the plane, Zhuang Rui said: "General Lasco
, without depth charges, it is possible to launch a missile into the sea below..."
Although the shock wave generated by the missile is far inferior to that of the depth bomb, Zhuang Rui can use spiritual energy to alarm the underwater creature, which can also produce the same effect.
"missile?"
Zhuang Rui's words silenced General Lasco. Although he held a high position, he launched missiles into the sea for no reason. When he returned, the report was not easy to write. This was not a military exercise.
Seeing that Lasco didn't speak for a long time, Zhuang Rui thought that Lasco was worried about money, so he said: "General Lasco, I will pay for the missiles..."
The cost of a missile is only tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. In order to find out what the undersea creatures are, Zhuang Rui is still willing to spend this money.
"It's not about money..."
Lasko shook his head, looked at the vast sea below, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you once, brother Zhuang, don't let me down!"
The theory of marine life proposed by Zhuang Rui is the first time that scientists from various countries have explained the theory of this devilish sea. This is one of the main reasons why Lasko is willing to dispatch military helicopters to conduct on-site surveys with him.
The various strange events that occurred in this devil's sea have troubled Lasko for decades. If he can exchange for the truth of the matter with a difficult-to-write report, General Lasko thought it was worth it.
No matter which country a soldier is from, they all have a kind of bloody spirit in their bones. After making up his mind, Lasco did not hesitate anymore, but shouted to the driver with the same name as the internationally famous star: "Figo,
I order..."
"Wait, General Lascaux, wait!"
Before Lasko's order could be spoken, he was interrupted by Zhuang Rui. Are you kidding me? If a missile occurs now, Zhuang Rui might as well use the torpedoes on the Xuan Rui. Both of them are the same.
Looking for death.
"What's wrong? Zhuang, it was you who came up with this idea?" Zhuang Rui's behavior made Lasko look at him in confusion.
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly, pointed to the sea below, and said: "General Lasko, if that underwater creature is really an octopus, think about what will happen at the helicopter's current height.
