451 30 Polar Nights (5)
Fiona's words surprised Li Huan.
"Yes, I'm not interested in the power of treasure, but I'm very curious about knowledge. Fiona said: "What is excavated in the dark is the doomsday technology left behind by the Nazis." β
"No, when the Lacey chart was born, the Nazis weren't even fertilized eggs! Impossible!" Li Huan's face sank, and he took out the chart that Ash gave him from the virtual space: "You want to lie to me? When the Sea Hunter Guild collected the charts, it was the fourteenth century!"
"Master, I will never dare to deceive you! The Reis Sea Chart is indeed true, you may not believe it when I say it, the Reis Sea Chart is actually a cultivator's idle and boring work, and this matter is clearly recorded in my family. When the Sea Hunters Guild got their hands on the chart, they didn't take it seriously until the 19th century, when Antarctica was discovered, specifically in 1913, and they began to verify it. More than forty years ago, in the seventies, they organized a large-scale expedition, and I believe they probably knew what was there......" Fiona said tremblingly, "If you don't believe me, you can find someone you know to verify this matter." β
"You think I don't know?" Li Huan decisively grabbed the satellite phone and asked Xavier to dial Karui's number.
The phone was quickly connected, and a voice from Karui came: "Director Li, what's the matter?"
Li Huan was not polite, and asked with a face: "I caught a vampire here, she told me something interesting, I have to check with you." Actually, you Sea Hunter Guild already know what's going on in that place, right? Is it some apocalyptic technology left behind by the Nazis?"
"You, you got it. Karui was silent for a while, and then he happily admitted: "Yes, according to the results of our exploration, we suspect that the area is the base established by the Nazis in the North Pole, but we only suspect, never confirmed, that there is a mysterious force there that can devour all cultivators' spells." So unless large-scale drilling is organized, it is simply impossible to know the truth. And we don't have the capacity to do that kind of large-scale drilling study. β
"You already know, why didn't you tell me?" Li Huan was a little unhappy.
"What do you want me to say? It's something that only a madman believes. Besides, it can only be guessed, and I don't dare to confirm what is there. Karui said with some shame: "After all, we used to want to keep those things for ourselves...... But now we are completely incapable, so when you leave the port, I asked Sivir and them to follow, and I said yes, which is my apology. β
"Understood. I'm just asking for confirmation of this matter, and there must be a lot of confusion within the Sea Hunter Guild now, so you can deal with it with peace of mind. Li Huan hung up the phone after speaking.
Karui is right, if there is really a legendary Nazi collection of doomsday technology underground, every country must want to get it, and Kaw's approach is not wrong, if he is replaced by himself, even if he is unable to obtain it for the time being, he will definitely not send someone to help. At this point, Karui did a good job.
"It's been verified, is it true?" Even Shangguan Qing was a little excited when she heard it.
"Maybe, but the Ocean Hunter Guild hasn't determined ......" Li Huan groaned for a moment, and suddenly became a little excited: "No wonder Dark Sun is so concerned, it turns out to be those things!"
Nazi Doomsday Tech, also known in military history as the crooked tech tree. Although the Nazi Reich did everything to lose its conscience and turned back the wheel of history, and finally did not escape the fate of being crushed to powder, there are some things that are still talked about today. Even in many Allied powers, some Nazi scientific archives were treated as "permanent top-secret documents" and were never to be unsealed.
But no matter how well it is kept secret, there will always be some stories that will come out of people's mouths.
In the second half of the 20th century, the Austrian ZΓΆdel broke the news in his book "Flying Saucer - The Secret Weapon of the Nazis". The book declares that in the final moments of the fall of Berlin, Hitler did not commit suicide by poisoning, but boarded a submarine with his last troops, and then traveled to the polar regions, where he established a UFO base in a cave that led deep into the earth's crust.
This is not a pure fabrication, because when Germany was defeated in 1945 and the Allies surrendered to the German Navy, they were surprised to find that 54 German U-boats and more than 6,000 technicians and scientists had disappeared from the Nazi navy. Where did these submarines go, and were they secretly transporting some top-secret research results? The Citigroup military speculated that Nazi Germany probably had established secret bases in the polar regions, and that these scientists and submarines of Nazi Germany were most likely secretly transferred to the polar regions to hide.
This speculation, while unbelievable, is not a chase. Because a year before the outbreak of World War II, that is, in 1938, Nazi Germany organized a polar expedition and set up swastika flags everywhere at the poles, declaring that the North and South Poles were the territory of the Third Reich. During the expedition, they recorded the geography and hydrology of the place in detail.
After the war, Citigroup also carried out a special operation "high-altitude landing" in the polar regions, but that operation went wrong, and while filming and conducting an expedition mission over the North Pole, the plane in which the members of the operation team were flying crashed, three of them died on the spot, and six survived. Although decades have passed, the "high-altitude landing" operation has always been classified as one of the top military secrets. To this day, the Citigroup military's official explanation for the operation remains that it was "going to the polar regions in search of mineral deposits and other valuable resources." However, everyone is not stupid, and many people speculate that the real purpose of this trip is to find the legendary Nazi dungeons and 54 missing U-boats.
And one of the survivors disclosed some limited information, which shrouded this "top-secret operation" with a layer of mystery.
Allegedly, the expedition found three huge lakes and some small lakes in the Arctic region, the water was unusually warm, and red, blue and green algae grew in the water, and the expedition personnel analyzed the water quality and found that the lake water was fibrous, and it was clear that these lakes were connected to the ocean. And around these lakes, the investigators also found some magical things, but the specific ones are unknown.
If what is being excavated in the dark is really the doomsday technology left behind by the Nazis, then things will be fun.
However, some people raised objections, and Sivir thought for a long time and said: "Director Li, I also know something about World War II, it is said that the Nazi technology is so advanced, in addition to the contributions of a large number of scientists, there is news that they have captured aliens, and many things are obtained from aliens...... But I thought it was nonsense. Aliens who can cross the universe to Earth have a level of technology that we cannot defeat. β
"What you said makes sense, but it doesn't rule out the crashed ......" Li Huan thought to himself, I have one on me.
"But so many years have passed, and I'm afraid that the doomsday technology of that year can't even build a mobile phone on me. Sivir said suspiciously: "At that time, the computer was still a tube computer, so what was the use of Dark Sun being so anxious to find doomsday technology?"
"You don't understand that. As soon as Shangguan Qing said this, as a technical non-commissioned officer, she was very interested in all military science and technology, and smiled slightly: "The so-called doomsday technology is military, I have heard a little bit of this, if those things are true, they can't be explained with current science." β
"Yes, Miss Shangguan is right, I joined Dark Sun because I was interested in one of the projects called Die Glocke, according to it
Die Glocke is right under the dark sun, and that's what they're desperate to find. Fiona added, and then began to introduce the Die Glocke program.
The so-called Die Glocke project is a representative research project in Nazi apocalyptic technology, known as the "Death Bell", and just listening to the name, this device is by no means lacklustre, and it smells of Western black magic.
The Die Glocke project that is currently circulating in the outside world has only left a part of the written material, no physical objects, no pictures and photographs. In summary, it is an anti-gravity device, shaped like a bell, with two devices rotating in opposite directions, and the inside of the bell is filled with a dense dark red liquid called "Xerum525".
It is said to emit intense electromagnetic/ionizing radiation while operating, or to some unknown effect, so it can only be turned on for 1 or 2 minutes and then stopped, and a Jewish scientist died during its first boot. In subsequent tests using a variety of plants and animals, all plants and animals exposed to the Death Bell decomposed into a black, viscous substance within minutes to hours, or exhibited an abnormal state of decay. And all the scientists who had seen or worked for the construction of the Death Bell were executed by the SS as the Nazi defeat approached.
The Death Bell was then moved to a top-secret location in Silesia. Later, this death bell disappeared with the disappearance of the Nazis, as if it had never existed in history. Many people believe that the Nazi submarine sent the Death Bell to some secret base......
"These are all legends, there are no real objects or photographs, just some people's nonsense?" Sivir shook his head in disbelief.
Shangguan Qing interjected: "I've heard of this plan, it's a more reliable content, it's not pure nonsense, at least the Allies have found the base where the Nazis built the Death Bell, and near the base, there is a peculiar "stone henge" built of reinforced concrete, and the structure is speculated to be a platform used to test a powerful thrust device." β
"This lady is right, at least in my family's history, this device actually appeared. Fiona hastened to add: "And I have an elder who participated in this project as a scientist in the research team at that time, so I am sure that it really exists." β
"In other words, they are secretly looking for those dangerous technologies? Li Huan thought for a moment, and then asked secretly in his heart: "Xiaofei, can you find some similar information?"
"Yes, I was able to scan some top-secret records...... However, most of the key areas are blacked out, and they are all paper documents...... I can't solve the puzzle. "But according to the structure of that thing, the maker should want to make a bending generator that is strong enough." According to the theory of physics, a sufficiently strong space twist can bend the space around the generator, and the more severe the distortion, the greater the scope of space involved, and when you distort space, you also distort time. If you can warp time, you're the king of the world. β
After speaking, Xiao Fei added: "But this kind of technology is very dangerous, according to the technology of your world, if you want to involve that kind of technology, there are at least hundreds of years of scientific and technological accumulation." If there was really a genius who designed such a machine by chance a few decades ago, it would not have been possible to have such a powerful energy for him to use at that time...... Unless...... They know how to use supernuclear elements. β
"Isn't that dangerous?" Li Huan was shocked, the super-nuclear element was an element with extremely abundant energy, and it was extremely dangerous!
That dark red "xerum525" mysterious liquid, is it really a super-nuclear element? If so, once Dark Sun finds the Death Bell, even if it can't activate it, such a huge amount of super-nuclear elements will be enough for them to make trouble. Li Huan also understands about the doomsday technology of the Nazis, and the final madness of the Nazi Empire is indeed made in addition to many things that span that era.
The conversation between Li Huan and Xiaofei had just ended, and the system prompt that had been silent for a long time sounded.
Ding dong!
Congratulations to the host for triggering the Special Bonus Mission: Turn off the energy source
Mission Description: Somewhere on Earth, there is an unstable source of energy, and destroying it will reward you handsomely.
Reward: Huge Explorer XP, Interstellar Coordinates X1
Now Li Huan understands that he has also done a lot of special reward tasks in the system, and it is often triggered automatically after collecting enough information. That means that the place they are going to this time, with or without Die Glocke, an unstable energy source will not be able to escape.
......
The blizzard soon subsided, and the Orca set sail again.
Knowing what he was looking for, Li Huan first made a phone call to Bellamy's side. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, but their souls are interconnected, but both of them consciously don't want to think about this problem, so although they haven't seen each other for a long time, there is no sense of alienation, Li Huan simply explained what he might find, Bellamy said that he understood, in addition to letting Li Huan be careful himself, he hung up the phone.
Li Huan didn't feel anything wrong, and did his own thing.
After Fiona had finished explaining what she had been looking for, the group returned to the captain's room. Fiona couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard that Li Huan was actually calling the president of the European special law enforcement agency, she didn't dare to ask Li Huan directly, so she went around to ask others.
Eventually, it was a law enforcement officer in Sivir's team who told her Li Huan's identity.
This law enforcement officer's strength is less than the second layer of Qi refining, if it was changed an hour ago, Fiona felt that it would be a shame to talk to him. But now, the blood of the origin has been taken away by Li Huan, and he can't fight for his strength, so he has to lower his posture. Maybe everyone is at ease with Li Huan, and Fiona didn't actually do anything to hurt everyone - the big deal was a big bat that smashed the glass.
Fiona's deliberately lowered posture, as well as her sweet face and charming voice, ruled out that she was a vampire and was still very easy to get along with. However, in fact, the law enforcement officers did not know much about Li Huan, most of them were heard at the dock that day, but everyone remembered one, Li Huan was the man who solved the natural disaster of Fort De Beers in Europe.
Fiona was stunned for a long time.
She knew that the patriarch of the De Beers family was a genius and was unique in terms of biochemistry and genetics. The most terrifying thing is that they have a "humanoid" body, and I have heard that the power contained in that body is beyond the comprehension of this world. After the explosion of De Beers Castle, Fiona also paid attention to it for a while, and obtained some information with the help of her family's powerful intelligence energy, and finally knew that the explosion of the castle was due to the "humanoid" rampage.
In other words, it was the guy who suppressed the "humanoid" rampage who was transferred away from the mountain, killed the Thunder Dao people, and took away the blood of the source? Fiona recalled the information she had seen, and suddenly her whole body couldn't help but feel a chill. No wonder the Lei Dao people were forced to blow themselves up, it turned out to be this Li Huan!
Thinking of this, Fiona suddenly felt less aggrieved again.
At the very least, the blood of one's origin is not in the hands of mediocre people.
Two hours later, when the freighter controlled by Xiao Fei passed by the Orca, the blizzard also listened.
The weather in the Arctic Circle is indeed changing, and after about an hour of the blizzard, which was still driving people to death, the wind first gradually subsided, and then, the snow flakes stopped falling, and there was no longer a sharp knife in the air
front, but tends to be calm. The blizzard came and went quickly, and when everyone was full of food and drink, and the time was about noon, it was found that the traces of the blizzard had completely disappeared. In the sky not far away, a black cloud under the moonlight could be faintly seen, pressing towards the south, and it seemed that the blizzard was heading in the direction of Norway. The crowd, who had been suppressed by the blizzard for several hours, pushed open the hatch to get some fresh air and clean the deck of the ship by the way, because too much snow would also cause navigation inconvenience.
Although this sudden blizzard came without warning, the Orca is a professional icebreaker specially built to fight the polar ice and snow, and after the propeller heats up, the 10,000-ton icebreaker begins to move slowly forward.
The blizzard soon passed, and the Orca set sail again.
After Ao Na came to the Orca, in order not to let Li Huan abuse him, he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the navigator. Of course, a vampire cannot have sailing experience, but don't forget that Fiona is a nocturnal animal, and now the solar energy hangs in the sky for no more than 5 hours a day, most of which is pitch black, and Fiona is a nocturnal creature, and can also summon or incarnate a swarm of bats, with powerful sound wave positioning, the Orca can bypass every piece of Xiaoice, even more sensitive than the ship's radar.
You know, radar is originally a product of bionics, and it is a bat that is imitated.
Of course, Li Huan saw Fiona working so diligently, and he was not a sadist. In addition to the fact that the Origin Blood could not be returned to her, Li Huan gave her the greatest freedom.
With Fiona's assistance, the Orca sailed at a noticeably faster speed. And with her guidance, everyone can directly break into the construction site in the dark sun.
Time passed quietly, and after more than a day, when the Orca drilled out of the northernmost section of the strait, which was only a thousand meters away, the front suddenly opened up.
"It's here! We're officially in the Arctic Circle!" Andrei let out a long sigh of relief.
The moment the Orca sailed out of the strait, it was white.
Although there are still thousands of years of ice and unchanging whiteness ahead, the vast sea is undoubtedly more exciting than the narrow and depressing strait. Because there is extra room for evasion, there is no need to worry about icebergs blocking the road, so the speed of the Orca has increased again.
According to Iona, as long as you leave the Drek Strait, you can reach the construction site in the dark in a day at most.
After nine days of tossing and turning at sea, it has finally arrived. The most important thing is that Li Huan doesn't have to look around like a fly. Because the "circle" circle on the Lacey map is too large, it is at least within a radius of tens of square kilometers when zoomed in, and the previous several snowstorms must have completely submerged the construction site in the dark sun. Originally, Li Huan thought that he had reached the correct coordinates and had to check them one by one, but he didn't expect that because of the surrender of Fiona, the specific location was also available, and he just followed the GPS, which was the most happy thing.
Eventually, following Fiona's lead, the Orca anchored along the coastline near the Arctic permafrost.
The anchorage, less than fifty kilometers from the GPS coordinates provided by Fiona.
Although it is less than fifty kilometers, this distance can no longer be closer.
The Orca sailed into the most severe part of the Arctic Circle, and the polar night had fallen, the temperature had dropped to an unprecedented minus 40 degrees, and the sea surface was frozen in large areas, making it difficult for the Orca to sail. Of course, you can make the Orca break into a way, and the performance of the Orca is enough to do so, but if you get frozen once you go in, if you want to think of it again, you will have to wait until next year......
Icebreakers are not omnipotent, you must know that the permafrost of the Arctic, at its thickest, reaches more than 500 meters thick, and when the dinosaurs were still on Earth, this place had already begun to freeze.
Obviously, it was impossible for Li Huan and everyone to wait here for a year, so in order to avoid trouble, according to Andre's suggestion, the Orca stayed in the shallow ice, and everyone flew directly over by helicopter. The advantage of this is that as long as Li Huan's matter is finished, he can pull the anchor and leave on the same day.
Moreover, since the group is heading to the Dark Sun construction site, and it may be the place where Nazi doomsday technology is buried, it is safe to keep the mothership at a distance. Although Fiona swore that there would definitely be no one at the construction site, it was as if she had been sent, and another group of people would be sent in the dark. So it's safest for the Orca to stop here.
Even if someone finds out, in the vast sea, the close defense artillery is not vegetarian.
Although the Orca carries a helicopter with the ship, although the Orca is large, it is always a scientific research ship, and it does not have such a large hangar, so it can only carry a small helicopter with a crew of 4 people. The small helicopter also has the advantage, that is, the fuel consumption is not high, the aviation fuel is stored in the Orca aviation fuel depot, the fuel in this fuel depot, can ensure that the small model has 200 hours of flight time, if you change to a large helicopter, it may be consumed in ten hours.
After the Orca was anchored, the helicopter was pushed out, and in the whole ship, only Andre and Shangguan Qing could fly the helicopter, and Andre wanted to guard the Orca, so naturally Shangguan Qing piloted it.
In the end, Li Huan decided to take Shangguan Qing, Xiwei and Fiona with him. Among these four people, Shangguan Qing is very familiar with all kinds of hot weapons, and can also fly helicopters, Sivir has an understanding of various Norse legends and myths, and as long as she does not encounter the members of the Black Sun or the Dark Sun of the Order of the Gray Sun, she has the ability to fight.
As for Fiona, she had to show the way, and even if she didn't show the way, Li Huan didn't worry about leaving her alone on the boat.
The rest of the people, the magistrates who stayed behind to protect the mother ship of the orca, plus the close defense guns, as long as they were not too troublesome opponents, they all had the ability to keep the ship safe, and the sailors were responsible for maintaining the orca so that it could set sail at any time. After making a decision, the sailors unfolded the helicopter blades, and after Shangguan Qing checked the mechanical properties, he turned on the engine, and the blades began to rotate slowly, blowing away the floating snow on the deck.
"Boss, stay safe, we are here waiting for you to come back. Andrei led the crew and said: "If there is any danger, come back immediately, and we will find a way together." β
"Don't worry about us, you just guard the Orca, but if there is any suspicious target, Shangguan has already set up a dense array, and he will fire directly. After Li Huan finished speaking, several people got on the helicopter, and the rotors began to rotate rapidly, and a few minutes later, the helicopter had disappeared into the night sky.
......
At the same time, at the exit of the Drek Passage, a black shadow floated from the sea.
If someone who is well versed in the history of World War II sees it, they will surely exclaim - this is a U-boat!
The so-called U-boat is a U-series submarine used by Germany in World War II and built in 1915, a submarine that once inflicted a devastating blow on the ships of the Allied countries, and is the most feared weapon in the Atlantic. Since 1915, the Nazis have built more than 300 submarines of various types, derived more than a dozen models, and the one that surfaced is the best of them, the large ocean-going IX class.
A total of three submarines of this class were produced according to the puzzle data, the first was sunk, the second was captured after the Nazis surrendered, and the third was missing, some speculated that it fled with the Nazis, but it has not been seen yet.
Its most important feature is that it can carry small ships in addition to the deck sealed cabin.
In the darkness of the night, two speedboats burst out of the water, tearing through the black sea level and quickly heading in the direction of the whale graveyard.
