Chapter 50: It Seems to Be an Old Man
The fast-beating stopwatch panics everyone, and the bigwigs remain calm on the surface, but in fact they are on pins and needles.
And Sun Xiang played with the steel gloves in his hands unhurriedly. It's heavy, but the joints are delicate, the result of ancient armor forging techniques and modern precision machining.
"I've started the countdown to detonate. Sun Xiang said indifferently, "From now on, the hundred-second countdown will only start again after I enter the password."
Please note that the countdown is a restart, not an end.
As a friendly reminder, the password is different every time, and there is only one codebook. ”
Sun Xiang nodded his head with a steel finger: "It's in my head." ”
After understanding this, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson regretfully put down his gun.
He was already approaching, and he planned to desperately control Sun Xiang and force him to stop the countdown.
Now hearing such a crazy countdown plan, he doesn't think he has a chance to succeed.
Colonel Wei Kaicheng wiped the cold sweat from his head, and it took a lot of will to let himself sit in the chair and not run away. He always thought that he was a soldier who regarded death as his home, and it was not until a 100-million-ton bomb counted down in front of him that he knew how much pressure there was.
The two masters, Shamash and Lovihan, hurried out of the auction hall under the escort of their entourage. Lieutenant Colonel Anderson's men ignored them and let them go.
Running away at this point is a ridiculous act. If Big Ivan is real, then it will be too late to take a rocket. If it's fake, then there's no need to run away.
When there were still fifty seconds left in the countdown, the bigwigs of all parties, who could still sit still, finally collapsed. Everyone jumped up and shouted, asking Sun Xiang to stop the countdown. Everyone wears shoes, not outlaws, and no one wants to gamble with their lives.
Besides, there is no prize if you win, which is particularly unacceptable!
Only General Bentroft laughed, and he carried the wine bottle and made a big noise: "Good job, Your Excellency! Blow up all the Mi Guokees into the sky! Big Ivan was originally made for this!"
Harris on the other side of the screen obviously recognized the drunken general, and he roared, "Bantroft, you bastard, why did the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons fall into the hands of terrorists!"
Bentroft didn't show any weakness, and he threw the bottle at the big screen above him. Cursing:
"Because the great Soviets are gone! because of you vile clowns!"
Harris was furious, not just because of Bantroft, but because of the information that had just come from the lieutenant.
At the beginning of the 100-second countdown, the Geiger probe on the aircraft carrier began to alarm wildly.
Big Ivan is a hydrogen bomb that requires an atomic bomb fuse to detonate.
When the countdown begins, the atom in the warhead starts to run first, and the heavy lead shield opens, slowly pushing the two uranium balls towards each other on a short track. In the process, the amount of radiation skyrockets, which is captured by the aircraft carrier's probes.
Fleet Commander Harris knew that the big guy on the Queen was true nine times out of ten. This realization made him very annoyed, and the ghost would have thought that someone really had a hydrogen bomb with him in a frenzy.
But come to think of it, if anyone can take out the jade seal of the country and the ark of the Ten Commandments at the same time, it is not inconceivable that he will take out another Tsar bomb.
Maybe the mysterious owner wouldn't have detonated Big Ivan, but Harris didn't want to take the risk. He cherished his life very much, and he was even more reluctant for the Pacific Fleet to take such a risk.
A normal person would not detonate a hydrogen bomb at will, but what if he is not normal?
And that Optimus Prime looks very abnormal, right?
Harris didn't want to bet on the other party's mental state, if the Pacific Fleet was destroyed, then tomorrow Huaguo's South China Sea Fleet would sail directly to the east coast. Finally, when there were still thirty seconds left in the countdown, he said helplessly: "Okay, Your Excellency, you have won, please stop the countdown." We can have a good talk. ”
Sun Xiang looked at the countdown and asked with a smile, "Why don't you think about it again, there are still thirty seconds." Oh, it's only twenty-five seconds now. ”
"Enough is enough, Your Excellency!" the commander wanted to roar again, but looking at the countdown, his momentum was a little shorter. I had to send my anger back into my stomach, "Let's leave now, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, back to the team!"
With that, the Combined Fleet turned off communications.
Anderson, who had been waiting for orders, gave Harris a military salute, then put away his gun and ordered his men to evacuate. At this time, there were fifteen seconds left before the countdown was accepted, and the hearts of everyone on the scene were in their throats.
"Time!time!" someone couldn't help but remind Sun Xiang loudly.
Sun Xiang suddenly realized that he almost forgot about this stubble.
"You, go and enter the reset password, six one. He casually pointed to Yu Xiaoyue next to Liji.
Miss Yu was stunned for a moment, why did you call me, are we very acquainted? But time waits for no one, at this time the countdown has jumped to the last five seconds, some people are so frightened that they retreat, and some people have even closed their eyes and started praying.
Miss Yu no longer hesitated, she jumped up, rushed to the duck console, and accurately pressed the six ones.
The countdown is back to 100 seconds.
Thank God.
But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Xiang frowned.
"Oops, I can't seem to remember what the next password will be. Sun Xiang held back a smile under the mask and said to Yu Xiaoyue, "Why don't you try six twos?"
Yu Xiaoyue is a very serious girl, she first spent fifty seconds arguing with the unknown Optimus Prime in front of her, and then asked, "What if the password is wrong?"
"Boom!" Sun Xiangyi said simply.
"Give me death!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This pleasant little game ended more than twenty rounds in fear in everyone's hearts, and it was not until it was confirmed that the United Fleet had left that Sun Xiang entered the final termination code.
Of course, this third auction item called Truth, the final genre. Everyone said that the truth should be kept by the master. This is arguably the only regret of this auction. The Iron Throne carried Optimus Prime away, and it took a while for Sun Xiang to slip back into his seat.
Wei Kaicheng looked at him deeply, but did not speak. But Yu Xiaoyue complained vigorously. complained that Sun Xiang couldn't be found anywhere, complained about being bullied by the mysterious Optimus Prime just now, and was bullied by Liji. In short, Balabala, blamed all the grievances on Sun Xiang.
The next step is the delivery of the lot.
Colonel Wei Kaicheng and Lord Luo Weihan respectively confirmed the transfer of funds on the trust account. However, due to a good show in the Pacific Fleet, the two resolutely refused to leave directly with the treasure.
What if you get robbed again along the way?
In the end, the two sides agreed, and the Queen sailed to Huaguo's supply port first, where Huaguo's bidding group and the national fleet converged, and they protected it and returned to Huaguo's mainland.
The Queen escorted Lovihan and others from the European Chamber of Commerce back to Beirut in the Mediterranean. They lacked the protection of the armed forces, so they paid an extra sum of money to the Queen as an escort.
The Catholic Church and the Synagogue will decide on the ownership of the Ark of the Covenant in Beirut, but that will happen later.
All in all, it was a rather fantastic auction experience. Many of the participants found nothing in the end, but it was well worth the trip to see two legendary treasures and even witness the mysterious master's clever plan to force the Pacific Fleet back.
This is the US Navy that has been rampant for more than a hundred years, a god-like existence, and this time it returned in vain. It's a spectacle!
Everyone wondered who this incredible master was, and some of them had a clear guess in their minds. However, for various reasons, these speculations have been put in mind. Therefore, no one has come to trouble Sun Xiang for the time being.
When Sun Xiang finally settled everything and found Pingning Malu, this middle-aged uncle, who looked aggressive, was drinking sullen wine alone.
The bidding group of the island nation was very angry that he temporarily gave up the competition for the jade seal, and had already left early. But Pingning Maro didn't care what they thought at all, his goal had already been achieved.
And Sun Xiang found him because the two secretly exchanged gestures and agreed to a private meeting when the auction was underway. In addition, when Sun Xiang was wearing armor and a mask to tease Harris, only Ping Ning Maru laughed, obviously seeing through all his disguises.
Therefore, it is reasonable to have this meeting.
"11270420 is a very interesting number. Sun Xiang sat down, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, and said in English, "It seems to be a date." ”
Pingning Malu picked up his hands, stared at Sun Xiang unkindly for a while, and said, "Why don't you give me a whole foreign text." ”
It's an authentic Northeast accent.
Although it seemed that there was no need for English communication, Sun Xiang frowned, because the situation seemed to be more complicated. He replied thoughtfully: "Are you Chinese, this accent ......"
"Your Excellency?" Pingning Malu was even more dissatisfied with Your Excellency's title, and corrected, "Lao Tzu's name is Lu Ning, an authentic Chinese person. The name Pingning Malu is too much like a funny artist, you can forget it for me. ”
What an unexpected conversation. Pyeongning Maro is the president of the island giant Sansho Co., Ltd., and it is said that the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister must be approved by his nod.
As the Mihua hegemony was divided, the island countries gradually moved closer to China, and in the past few decades, people-to-people interaction has become more and more friendly. But there are also stubborn forces, such as this Sansho Co., Ltd. The monopoly giants of this island nation are very unfriendly to China, and often make some remarks that make the Chinese people very indignant.
Sun Xiang sent people to infiltrate the island country on several occasions to plot to kill the big leader of this reactionary force, but on several occasions he found nothing and returned in vain.
Who would have expected that this big anti-China leader would actually claim to be a Chinese, named Lu Ning, and speak an authentic Northeast accent.
There are a lot of stories in it!
Of course, the purpose of Sun Xiang's meeting was not to clarify the nationality of the mysterious president. After all, there are hundreds of people, and a huge nation will always have some snake spirit diseases that stand out from the crowd. Reverse Patriots are not an uncommon thing.
For example, there is a well-known critic active on social media in the United States. This guy will rebel against every time. No matter what happy events Huaguo has, it has become a heinous sin in his mouth, and then he praises all kinds of merits to the United States. The strange thing is that this person is an authentic Chinese. He graduated from a well-known university in China, and left his hometown and abandoned his son to smuggle to the United States. He slept on the street every day, grabbed leftovers from garbage cans to eat, and his only pleasure was to insult Hua Guo on social media.
It can be said that it is very individual.
The middle-aged man in front of him, who calls himself Lu Ning, is also such a person. Sun Xiang didn't care about this, he just needed an answer.
"Okay then, Brother Lu. Please tell me what 11270420 represents, I personally seem familiar with it, but I can't remember it. ”
Lu Ning clasped his hands and glared at Sun Xiang for a long time to confirm that the other party was not acting. Only then did he sigh and seem to let go of some of his hostility.
He spoke, "It seems that you really don't know.
On April 20, 1127, that is, the second year of Song Jingkang, the Jin army broke through Bianliang in Tokyo. Seeing that the Great Song Dynasty was exhausted, an old friend took the heirloom jade seal from the palace that day and left it for later generations to be handed over.
When I heard that the jade seal of the country was born, I thought that this old friend was out of the mountain again, so I immediately rushed over. I have an account to settle with him, but I didn't expect to see you. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ning leaned over, put his head on Sun Xiang's head, and asked viciously, "Who are you Sun Qianxu?!"
