"May I ask General Lasco, will it be discovered by the deep-sea monsters when laying mines?"
Li Shaohua, who was sitting next to Zhuang Rui, suddenly stood up and raised an objection to Lascaux on the stage, he had heard Zhuang Rui mention the horror of prehistoric creatures before, and he was much more cautious than everyone in the audience. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past three days, we have sent small ships to that area to conduct surveys, and it has been proved that the entry of small ships will not attract the attention of deep-sea monsters, and then cooperate with helicopters, I believe that the ...... of minelaying operations can be completed."
After hearing Li Shaohua's words, Lascaux confidently gave an explanation, as he said, some slight actions on the sea were not enough to make the sea monster go berserk.
After analysis by Lascaux and many biologists, it was concluded that the sea monster was too large to easily move its habitat, so that humans had enough time to plan the operation to encircle it.
"Thank you, General Lascoe, I'm fine......" Hearing Lascoe's explanation, Li Shaohua sat down.
Judging from the action plan, there is really nothing missing, and the only thing to focus on now is to lock the area where the monster is located, but this is not a problem, the most advanced military technology on this planet is in the hands of these people in the field at the moment.
The meeting went very quickly, and after the observers of various countries had no objections, General Lascaux immediately announced the end of the meeting, and there was still a lot of work to be done for him, and even Zhuang Rui did not care about it, but sent an assistant to inform Zhuang Rui that he would act together with the observers of various countries.
After the military forces of various countries participated in this operation, Zhuang Rui's role became dispensable, and General Lascaux no longer needed Zhuang Rui's sharp judgment, which was also expected.
Zhuang Rui didn't care about this, he wished to stay in the back of the safety with these observers, after experiencing the prehistoric creature incident in the forests of Central Africa, Zhuang Rui had a feeling that this deep-sea monster may not be so easy to deal with.
As the landlord, the Portuguese Navy prepared residences for observers from various countries, and Zhuang Rui naturally lived with Li Shaohua and others.
For the next few days, everyone had nothing to do, waiting for the Portuguese military preparations to be completed, and it can be seen from the helicopters that take off and land in the barracks every day that the preparations are in full swing.
Early in the morning of the fifth day, observers from various countries, Zhuang Rui and others were invited to a very strangely arranged conference room, and the entire conference room was covered with all kinds of electronic instruments that Zhuang Rui could not speak.
Before Zhuang Rui and the others came, hundreds of people had already sat here, but the discipline was very good, and no one was talking to each other, waiting for the start of this operation.
"Brother Li, what are these screens for? Can you see the situation on the sea?"
Before Zhuang Rui sat down, he found that on the walls around this conference room, there were four huge display screens, and he was in the conference room, as if they were shots from a science fiction movie.
Li Shaohua has long been accustomed to these electronic screens, and said disapprerovingly: "Of course you can see it, I'm afraid you can even see the situation under the sea, and you'll know later......"
You must know that in space outside the earth, there are thousands of various military or civilian satellites monitoring the planet all the time, with the current scientific and technological means, let alone monitoring a sea surface, it is not impossible to peek at you taking a bath in the bathroom through the window glass of your home.
Of course, these are all things that Zhuang Rui didn't know, when those huge display screens were turned on, Zhuang Rui was stunned, and what appeared in front of everyone at this time was the military camp they were in.
At the beginning, the picture was still a little blurry, but with the debugging, the picture gradually became clearer, and even a mole on the face of the sentry standing guard was clearly visible.
"Ahem......"
After about five or six minutes, a soldier wearing a Portuguese uniform walked to a large screen in the conference room, coughed twice to attract the attention of everyone in the room, and said: "Generals, you will see the whole process of the operation here, since General Lascaux is responsible for the command of this operation, so I will explain it to you......"
"When is the time for the action?"
"yes, have you completed the minelaying work in the early stage?"
"In addition to the U.S. military, are there any countries that the eurozone countries think are involved in the operation?"
As soon as the spokesman finished speaking, the people sitting in the conference room began to ask questions, and Lascaux had been suffocating the observers for the past few days, using preparations as an excuse to ignore them.
"Please be quiet, in another hour and a half, that is, at 9:30 in the morning, the strike against this deep-sea monster will officially begin......
As for the preliminary preparations, they have all been completed, you can see ......"
With the soldier's words, the picture on the big screen in front of him changed, moving from the barracks to the vast sea, and then said: "Within a radius of ten nautical miles in this sea area, we have laid a large number of mines, no matter where the sea monster emerges from, it will definitely be hit by the mines......"
"Excuse me, if you have laid so many mines in this sea area, will it cause harm to the ships that will go to the sea in the future after the sea monsters are cleared?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the conference room, but in the ears of these admirals, it was a bit off-topic, they were soldiers, they only had to destroy the enemy, and the trouble in the future was none of their business.
Just like the United States planted a large number of landmines throughout Vietnam during the Vietnam War, the number of which reached millions.
Even today, there are still many landmines that were planted back then that have not been dismantled, causing great harm to the Vietnamese people, and there are many Vietnamese villages, almost all of whom are disabled, but even so, I have not seen the old Americans say a word of apology.
However, Zhuang Rui, who asked the question, didn't think so, because he still needed to hunt for treasure in this post-war sea, and if these mines could not be cleared, he would still return empty-handed.
"Sir, please rest assured, all mine detonation systems are electronically controlled and switched, and there is a recovery signal source on the mine, after the operation, we will turn off the detonation switch, according to the signal source for recovery, absolutely will not have any impact on the safety of the sea area......"
The soldier's words made Zhuang Rui feel at ease, if these guys really killed and buried, then Zhuang Rui would lose a lot, and the long-planned salvage would eventually come to nothing.
Fortunately, it is not a few decades ago, and in Europe, where human rights are high, they dare not turn this sea into the Dead Sea, which is not in the interests of European countries.
After Zhuang Rui finished asking questions, everyone in the audience had no questions, and gathered together to discuss in a whisper, waiting for the start of the operation.
More than an hour passed quickly, and when General Lascoe's face appeared on the big screen, everyone was shocked, and they realized that this multinational joint operation was about to begin.
"Attention Action Teams, I declare that the operation has officially begun!"
General Lascoe on the screen gave the order to start in high spirits, and the picture turned to the various military camps on the seaside at the same time, and the helicopters that had been on standby for a long time suddenly launched into the air, formed three formations, and flew to the designated sea area.
As the saying goes, insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.
Hundreds of helicopter formations, even in modern times, are rarely seen, blocking the sky, Zhuang Rui, who does not understand military affairs, is fascinated, feeling that even if nothing is achieved on this trip, it is worth returning to the ticket price if he can see a military operation of this scale.
The generals of the various countries in the field paid more attention to the situation of the helicopter formation, and such a large-scale operation has extremely high requirements for the quality of the pilot, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the tragedy of crashing the plane and killing people.
Fortunately, such a situation did not happen, and after the first wave of formations arrived at the designated sea area, General Lascoe gave an order, and the depth charges on nearly 100 helicopters continued to be fired into the sea from anti-submarine helicopters like dumplings.
After the depth charge entered the sea, the camera on the big screen suddenly moved from the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea, and the lights and miniature cameras attached to the bomb completely transmitted the situation under the sea surface.
At the same time, the helicopters of the second formation also dropped a large number of depth charges on the designated sea surface and quickly flew away from this sea area.
In order to cause maximum damage to the sea monster, the depth charges this time have been modified to be detonated at the same time, and now they can be detonated as long as they wait for the third formation to be completed.
Beams of lights lit up on the bottom of the sea, one by one, the depth charges at the front end like rockets, densely covered with the entire large screen, and quickly sank into the deep sea.
The depth charges dropped by the first formation were already nearly 2,000 meters deep at the bottom of the sea, but according to the pre-plan, this batch of depth charges would fall on the side of the sea monster, and cooperate with the other two formations of depth charges to encircle it.
"Oh my God......? That's the monster of the deep?"
After the bomb penetrated deeper into the water below 2,000 meters, the strong lights installed on the bomb and the camera filmed the monster.
These bombs are nearly a kilometer away from the place where the monster is entrenched, and from a distance, it looks like an undersea volcano in front of it, and no one can believe that it is a living creature unless they know it in advance.
