"Old classmate, do you believe the boss?"
After hearing Lasco's words, Clyde couldn't help but look at him with a puzzled expression, in Clyde's mind, Zhuang Rui's previous guess was completely nonsense, there could be no such a large size of creatures in the ocean. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Clyde, that sea is indeed a mystery, and for so many years I have tried to solve this mystery, but without success.
We have tried this idea before Mr. Zhuang, but we have not found any movement on the seabed, so I hope we can find something this time......"
As Lascaux said, they had surveyed the area by helicopter before, but due to the limited space of the helicopter, they could not carry some deep-sea exploration equipment.
For Zhuang Rui's survey, although Lascaux was very interested, he didn't have much hope, anyway, it was not dangerous to sit on a helicopter, but it didn't hurt to sell his favor to Zhuang Rui.
And Zhuang Rui's previous statement is not entirely true, because not long ago, a famous marine biologist with an international reputation once put forward an argument that in the right sea area, octopus can grow infinitely, which coincides with Zhuang Rui's statement.
Hearing Lasco's words, Clyde shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I'd rather believe it's a volcano, but I'm not averse to surveying it again......"
Although he was very unimpressed with Zhuang Rui's words, after a military helicopter transferred from Lascaux from the coastline parked on the deck of the "Xuanrui" more than an hour, Clyde was the first to get in.
Looking at the six missile launchers and the machine gun mounted at the hatch under the helicopter in front of him, Zhuang Rui tilted his head to look at Peng Fei and asked, "This is the famous "Apache" helicopter gunship, right?"
In fact, Zhuang Rui knew about the US "Apache" helicopter gunship when he was reading reports on Iraq, and the reason why he remembered it deeply was because there were often news such as "another explosion accident occurred in the US military's Apache helicopter in Iraq."
Peng Fei pursed his lips and said: "That's right, it's the "Apache" helicopter, which is flashy and unrealistic, and it is not as practical as the Russian Mi-28 "Havoc" series of armed helicopters......
Due to the war in the early fifties of the last century, the Chinese people of millet plus rifles are both envious and jealous of the American-style armament, and they are more inclined to the equipment of the former Soviet Union in their hearts, after all, the two countries have been honeymoon for a long time.
"Come on, you kid won't pull down ......"
Zhuang Rui kicked Peng Fei from behind, he was quite satisfied with this helicopter, compared to the helicopter on the Xuanrui that could only take three people, this one was much stronger than the civilian helicopter in terms of the number of people on board and the range.
Zhuang Rui Pengfei plus Captain Clyde and General Lascoe, as well as the two generals' guards and pilots, a total of seven people were on board, and there was still a little space in the cabin.
…… After nearly an hour of flight, the Apache helicopter made a loud roar and came to the sky above the coordinate point of the sea area where the Xuanrui had stayed before, "Mr. Zhuang, this is it, right?"
Since the door of the helicopter was not closed, the sea breeze howled into the helicopter, and General Lascaux almost used the sound he roared out to make Zhuang Rui hear.
"Yes, that's the coordinate......"
Ten kilometers away, Zhuang Rui used his aura to survey that next to the larger submarine volcano, there was still that huge creature, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
If Zhuang Rui hadn't seen it active with his own eyes before, I'm afraid he would have thought that this was just an undersea mountain range.
General Lascoe nodded, looked at the driver, and shouted: "Turn on the deep-sea radar scanning system and survey the sea below......"
After hearing the general's words, the pilot skillfully cāo made a gesture and replied loudly: "Yes! The deep-sea radar scanning system has been turned on......
Originally, the "Apache" helicopter was not equipped with a radar scanning system, and General Lascaux temporarily asked him to install it, but on a helicopter with extremely poor stability, this effect is far from being comparable to that on a ship.
On the radar scanning display on the driver's right-hand side, there are no light spots on the seabed except for two shadows, which also indicates that there are no moving objects in this sea area.
"Zhuang, the creature you are talking about is this volcano?"
General Lasko pointed to the shadow and looked at Zhuang Rui, "We have also conducted radar scans of this sea area before, but this volcano has never moved, I'm afraid your radar system is wrong, right?"
The scene he saw this time was no different from the previous exploration, but General Lasco was a little disappointed in his heart, and after hearing Zhuang Rui's story, he thought that he could see something different.
Zhuang Rui shook his head, pointed to the display screen, and said: "General Lasco, there will be no mistake, the radar system on my salvage ship is the top in the world, here, there must be a deep-sea monster......"
"Boss, volcanoes don't grow legs, you must be delusional......"
Clyde was a little uncomfortable with the fact that he had fled the Xuanrui to escape from this area before, although the order was given by Zhuang Rui, but deep down in his heart, he also had a deep fear of this place.
Zhuang Rui didn't pay attention to Clyde, and after thinking about it for a while, he raised his head sharply and said, "I have a way to survey that guy......"
"What's the solution?!"
Including Peng Fei, several people in the cabin asked at the same time, even the two officers who served as Clyde's guards also looked at Zhuang Rui with curiosity.
"Put a depth charge down and alarm that monster!"
There was a glimmer of light in Zhuang Rui's eyes, with the shock wave generated by the explosion of the depth charge in the sea, it would definitely alarm that monster, if it could land right on top of its head, it would be even more needless to say, it would make this sea overlord crazy.
Zhuang Rui said that the depth charge is a kind of underwater weapon used to attack submarines, usually equipped with a depth fuse, and detonated to kill the target when it sinks to a certain depth or is close to the target after being put into the water, and is usually dropped by ships or anti-submarine aircraft.
Originally, Li Zhen wanted to equip a few on the "Xuan Rui", but Zhuang Rui vetoed it, if there were really submarines in the sea that wanted to deal with them, it would be impossible to hide from them, and there was no need to arm these things.
However, Zhuang Rui heard Li Zhen explain the principle of depth charges, in the depth charges, loaded with a large amount of high explosives, after being detonated by the detonator, a large number of shock waves will be generated, Zhuang Rui believes that this level of shock waves is enough to alarm the underwater creatures.
"Depth charges?"
General Lascaux smiled bitterly and said, "Zhuang Rui, this helicopter is not equipped with depth charges, that thing is only available on anti-submarine helicopters......"
Depth charges are not unusual in the eyes of General Lascoe, this kind of bomb is very cheap to build, with his general's authority, even if it is used in hundreds, it is nothing, but this helicopter is not equipped.
"No?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect that the planned thing would actually be stuck here, but thinking about the missile launcher hanging under the helicopter he saw when he boarded the plane, Zhuang Rui opened his mouth and said: "General Lascoe, there are no depth charges, and it is okay to send a missile to the sea below......"
Although the shock wave generated by the missile is far inferior to that of a depth charge, Zhuang Rui can use the aura to alarm the undersea creature, and it can also produce the same effect.
"Missiles?"
Zhuang Rui's words silenced General Lascoe, although he was in a high position, but he fired shè missiles into the sea for no reason, and this report was not very easy to write after he returned, this was not a military exercise.
Seeing that Lascaux didn't speak for a long time, Zhuang Rui thought that Lascaux was worried about money, so he said: "General Lascoe, I'll pay for the missiles......"
The cost of a missile, at the top of the sky, is more than 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars, in order to find out what kind of underwater creatures are, Zhuang Rui is still willing to spend this money.
"It's not about money......"
Lascaux shook his head, looked at the vast sea below, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's done, I'll listen to you once, Brother Zhuang, don't let me down!"
Zhuang Rui's theory of marine life is the first time that scientists from various countries have explained the doctrine of this devilish sea area, which is also one of the main reasons why Lascaux is willing to send military helicopters to do on-site investigation with him.
The strange events that have occurred in this devilish sea have plagued Lascaux for decades, and if a difficult report can be exchanged for the truth of the matter, General Lascaux thinks it is still worth it.
No matter which country the soldier is, there is a kind of blood in his bones, after making up his mind, Lascaux did not hesitate any longer, but shouted at the driver with the same name as the international famous football star: "Figo, I order......"
"Wait, General Lascoe, wait!"
Without waiting for Lasco's order to exit, he was interrupted by Zhuang Rui in a hurry, what are you kidding? If a missile occurs now, Zhuang Rui might as well use the torpedo on the Xuanrui, both of which are also looking for death.
"What's wrong?Zhuang, did you come up with this idea?" Zhuang Rui's actions made Lasko look at him in confusion.
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly, pointed to the sea below, and said, "General Lasco, if that underwater creature is really an octopus, do you think about it, with the current altitude of the helicopter, what kind of consequences will happen?"
