In order to facilitate the exploration of N235 metal in the Bermuda Triangle, the Rongcheng Military Region established a marine exploration company. This time, they contacted the company about leasing a maritime helicopter and rented a marine helicopter through the marine exploration company.
However, when Shi Lei saw the sea helicopter rented by the Rongcheng Military Region Ocean Adventure Company on the beach, he was stunned!
"Holy shit, Shi An, is this a maritime helicopter you rented? Nitama are you kidding me?" Shi Lei pointed at an old and outdated helicopter and asked Shi An loudly.
This so-called maritime helicopter has a very shabby appearance, and even some of the paint on the body has fallen off, making it look like an aircraft with vitiligo.
The first impression of this dilapidated and outdated maritime helicopter is: 'Can this thing fly?'
As for the second feeling?
I'm afraid it should be: 'Don't let me get on this thing!'
Shi An was equally depressed. He also wanted to take this maritime helicopter instead of Shi Lei taking it alone.
"What's going on?" Shi An was waiting for the person in charge of the Ocean Exploration Company next to him, who was also the overseas activity personnel of the Rongcheng Military Region.
This overseas activist looks to be about forty years old. No one knows his real name. Everyone calls him John, a very common and common name.
John said calmly: "Captain Shi, Major Shi, since our operation is top secret, in order to prevent leakage of location information, we can only rent an old helicopter without advanced electronic equipment. This can prevent the possibility of a secret positioning system inside the helicopter.
, thereby leaking information about the location of the operation.”
Shi Lei glanced at John and snorted, "Keep it secret? Can we risk our lives just to keep it secret?"
John's tone was still calm as he said: "Major Shi, this is an order from the headquarters. I just follow the order."
"Haha, don't talk about the orders from the Rongcheng Military Region Headquarters! It's not like I don't know Commander He Zhenbang? The Rongcheng Military Region has confidential orders, but the specific execution plan is implemented by you, right? I'm afraid you came up with it to save trouble.
Such a bad idea, right?" Shi Lei retorted mercilessly.
Shi An walked up to John, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "John, this Major Shi is now relatively close to Commander He's daughter."
John is also a human spirit, how could he not understand what Shi An meant? John's eyes changed slightly. He looked at Shi Lei with a hint of fear and respect.
"Major Shi, I'm sorry. This was an oversight on our part. Give us another day and we will definitely prepare a suitable helicopter." John assured.
Shi Lei shook his head and rejected John's suggestion, "Forget it, forget it, I don't have time to waste with you! This is the helicopter! However, seven Steels are arranged to accompany them. All Steels are equipped with external
Fuel tank assembly.”
The first-generation Steel has an external fuel tank component. The external fuel tank can be used to increase the range of the Steel. However, using an external fuel tank component will block the space under the cabin and interfere with the detection of the first-generation Steel.
Radar made it impossible for the first-generation Steel to accurately detect N235 metal.
However, Shi Lei chose the First Generation Steel to accompany him because he did not need the First Generation Steel's detection function, but in case the helicopter at sea had a mechanical failure, the First Generation Steel could take them back.
"No problem, I'll handle this matter right away." John said resolutely, immediately took out his phone and arranged for relevant personnel to handle it.
"By the way, prepare two safety ropes equipped with quick-release components for each of us." Shi Lei added.
Shi An already understood what Shi Lei meant. Shi An smiled bitterly and said: "Shi Lei, can the Steel No. 1 drive us?"
Shi Lei glanced at Shi An and made a cold joke: "With my standard body shape, there is no problem. As for you? I'm afraid you're a little fat?"
Shi An is not fat at all, just a little strong!
"Hmph!" Shi An snorted. He knew that Shi Lei had no ill intentions and was just joking.
In less than twenty minutes, seven first-generation steel ships were prepared. Shi Lei, Shi An, and five elite soldiers from the Rongcheng Military Region boarded the maritime helicopter together.
Shi An drove the helicopter himself. According to Shi An's boast, he has rich experience in helicopter driving and can deal with a variety of emergencies.
The moment the old helicopter started up, Shi Lei's toes tightened. He didn't wear a seat belt and was ready to jump out at any time. However, this old helicopter successfully started up, and Shi An tried it.
After checking the basic controls, I found that this old helicopter has pretty good control performance.
"Shi Lei, you are responsible for navigation!" Shi An looked at Shi Lei and said.
Old helicopters do not have advanced electronic equipment, not even a navigation system!
Shi Lei smiled helplessly. Fortunately, there were seven first-generation Steels around the old helicopter. Without the Steels, Shi Lei would not be able to connect to the network at all. How could he be responsible for navigation?
"Captain Shi, let's fly with the Steel!" Shi Lei sat in the co-pilot's seat of the helicopter, opened the window glass, stretched out his hand and made a set of movements towards the first-generation Steel.
The Steel in front of the old helicopter immediately started flying, and Shi An quickly chased after it. However, due to performance reasons, the old helicopter was unable to catch up with the first-generation Steel!
You know, the cruising speed of the first-generation Steel was only 220 kilometers per hour!
Shi Lei smiled bitterly. A manned helicopter with a flying speed of less than 220 kilometers is indeed too weird. It is indeed an old and broken thing!
After nearly four hours of flight time, at 2:27 pm in the Bermuda Triangle area, the old maritime helicopter parked on the helipad of the scientific research ship.
This journey can be said to be full of adventures!
Shi Lei secretly swore that next time he would rather ride on the first-generation Steel with external seats than on this kind of helicopter that should go to the scrapyard.
It is simply suffering!
The scientific research ship borrowed by the Rongcheng Military Region from the Qincheng Naval Base looks very good. The length of the hull is at least fifty meters and the width should be more than fifteen meters.
A ship of this size can safely sail in at least a Category 10 typhoon!
After Shi Lei and Shi An disembarked, a man who looked to be in his forties came up to him and said, "Hello, Comrade Shi An, Comrade Shi Lei, I am Qian Muliang, the captain of the Xunlong scientific research vessel."
Hearing the name of the captain of the scientific research ship, Shi Lei almost laughed on the spot!
In this era, the word "木" has not been blackened into the same meaning as the word "无". "Muliang" is originally a good name, but if the word "木" is blackened into the word "无" with the same meaning, then "
"Mu Liang" becomes "unscrupulous", what a tragic rhythm!
"Hello, Captain Qian!" Shi An said politely.
Shi Lei said with a teasing tone that only he understood: "Hello, Captain Mu Liang!"
Qian Muliang thought Shi Lei was expressing goodwill, so he smiled and nodded to Shi Lei, responding to his goodwill.
Standing next to Qian Muliang, there was also a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was unsmiling and looked serious, giving people a stereotyped feeling.
However, Shi Lei knew this stereotypical middle-aged man!
"Hey, Professor Jin, why are you here too?" Shi Lei greeted with a smile.
This unsmiling middle-aged man is an expert in mechanical structure and mechanical shock absorption in the Rongcheng Military Region. When Shi Lei and the Rongcheng Military Region cooperated to develop the first generation of Dawn, Professor Jinda was an expert sent by the Rongcheng Military Region to provide support.
Jinda forced out an ugly smile and said, "Shi Lei, I will cooperate with you in your work. The submarines prepared by Qincheng Naval Base are not very perfect. If something unexpected happens, maybe I can be of some help."
"That's it!" Shi Lei said with a smile, "Thank you Professor Jin! If we really find what we need, the benefits will definitely be from Professor Jin!"
Jinda shook his head indifferently, indicating that he didn't care.
Shi An finally interjected, "Shi Lei, when will we start detection?"
"Captain Shi, are you in such a hurry? I was so scared on that broken helicopter that I didn't even have lunch!" Shi Lei pretended to complain, "Eat lunch first, and then start detection!"
Shi An smiled and said: "Okay, okay!" After saying that, Shi An looked at Captain Qian Muliang, "Captain Qian, please arrange the staff to prepare lunch for the seven of us."
Qian Muliang nodded, "No problem!"
Shi Lei exchanged some questions with Jinda. He deliberately expressed that he wanted to have lunch. In fact, he didn't really want to have lunch. Instead, he ordered the first-generation steel to explore the surrounding sea areas to find the exact location of N235 metal.
.
Although the first-generation steel ship carried an external fuel tank assembly, the detection range and accuracy were greatly suppressed. However, the approximate location of the N235 metal has been found before, and now it is just a recheck. There is no need to look for a needle in a haystack.
Just like searching blindly.
While communicating with Jinda, Shi Lei used his mobile phone to search and entered the internal network of the scientific research ship, and then broke through the internal network defense, connected to the external Internet, and restored contact with Yizuer.
About ten minutes later, a simple lunch at sea was prepared, including some mashed potatoes, some sea fish, and a large plate of fried bean sprouts. In order to avoid the occurrence of septicemia while sailing at sea, bean sprouts are the most ideal food.
Shi Lei had just eaten a few mouthfuls when his cell phone received a message from Yizuer.
‘The existence of N235 metal has been confirmed, and the specific location has been confirmed. The specific longitude and latitude coordinates are as follows.’ Yizuer sent the detailed information.
Shi Lei looked at the latitude and longitude coordinates sent by Yizuer and frowned involuntarily. This latitude and longitude coordinate seemed to be in the Puerto Rico Trench.
Could it be that the N235 metal was really taken into the ditch?
