Chapter 1703: Crisis in the Air
Color, clarity, weight, and cut are the 4Cs, and they are the true criteria by which most diamonds are valued.
"By the way, the two of us have dug up a lot of diamonds in the diamond mine, although they are not big and the quality is not as good as the boss, but if you like it, I can give you some!" Monza said.
This is something that I discussed with Yunmo in the mine before, fifty carats of diamonds, and there are only a few people on the plane, even if they divide twenty carats, the two of them can save fifteen carats each, they are content, and their hearts are more steady.
"Really?" Hearing Monza's words, Liu Ruohan's eyes were full of little stars.
"Of course it is. As he spoke, Monza took out the black cloth bag he had brought with him, and in it was the diamond he had dug with Yunmo.
"Wait. Zhang Tianyuan stopped the excited Liu Ruohan, first took out two relatively large diamonds from the cloth bag, and gave them to Monza Ye Yunmo and said: "These two diamonds should be about three carats after polishing and cutting, Monza, you go back and make a ring for your daughter-in-law, Yunmo, you can make an engagement or wedding ring, these two diamonds are very good." ”
He was mainly afraid that other people would not have a face and pick out the good diamonds, so he personally picked out the two best diamonds for Monza and Yunmo.
In fact, it's a bit redundant for him to do this, although people are greedy, but here he is, these people on the plane don't dare to mess around, they just picked a diamond, and it's basically only about one carat, just enough to make a ring.
After dividing the diamonds. Zhang Tianyuan went to catch up on sleep, of course. The box never left his arm, if anyone tried to snatch it. Unless you kill him, there's really no way.
The rest of the people worked on the work, and the rest of the rest, the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.
Only Rachel still seems to be on his mind.
"Rachel, do you think something is wrong?" Zhang Tianyuan asked as he called Rachel to the side alone.
"To be honest, I don't think Caesar would let us go so easily, there must have been some conspiracy. Rachel replied.
"Well, I feel that way, too, and it stands to reason that I should be fine if I leave South Africa. After all, Caesar's forces are only relatively far away from South Africa, and there is nothing he can do about it, but my intuition tells me that things are definitely not that simple. Zhang Tianyuan just sat there and thought a lot by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right.
"It turns out that Boss Zhang, you also feel this way, but it's strange, we have carefully inspected every corner of the plane, and there is no danger, and the aircraft instruments are completely normal." Rachel frowned, "But you're right. From what I know of Caesar, he can't give up his revenge so easily, and how could he let us go so easily after you took so many diamonds?"
"Think again. Is there any other possibility, Caesar was a madman, and anything could have been done. You can't help but be on guard. Zhang Tianyuan was calm just now, because he didn't want to worry the other people on the plane. But just because you're not worried doesn't mean you don't have danger.
"I'm sorry boss, I can't think of what else he's going to do against us. Rachel shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Zhang Tianyuan. I heard that the Malaysia Airlines plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, and I still haven't figured out what the cause is, and I haven't even found the wreckage, so nothing will happen to our plane, right?"
Liu Ruohan may be too bored, or maybe the experience in South Africa has made her jealous stronger, so when she saw Zhang Tianyuan and Rachel talking here, she walked over, and then said something quite worried.
"Malaysia Airlines!"
Zhang Tianyuan suddenly stood up from his seat, his face became very ugly, he had heard rumors on the Internet that Malaysia Airlines might have been beaten down, but there was no evidence, so it was a joke.
But what if it's not a joke?
Your own plane can defend against fighter attacks, but it can't defend against missiles!
"What's wrong, boss?" asked Rachel.
"Missiles! Missiles! Damn Caesar, what if you use missiles? There are not a lot of short-range missiles!" Zhang Tianyuan became more and more anxious.
"No, to use missiles against us? Caesar wouldn't be so crazy, he should know how much it would cost to use a missile. The expression on Liu Ruohan's face was very ugly, and he said so, but he was already very afraid in his heart.
"Nothing is impossible, that guy is a madman!" Zhang Tianyuan said, quickly rushed to the walkie-talkie, and then shouted to Zhang Qin in the captain's room: "Turn on the radar on our plane to the maximum power, and see what special conditions are around, quick!"
Because of Zhang Tianyuan's excitement, Zhang Qin didn't dare to ask why, so he immediately turned on the radar to the maximum power.
"Nothing to discover, boss. ”
After a while, Zhang Qin replied.
"No, no, how long have we been flying from South Africa?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"Just four hours. Zhang Qin replied.
"Maybe the other side is using a short-range missile that is not very good, and it needs to be relatively close before it can attack, and we still have a chance. Zhang Tianyuan felt that his imagination might be real, and that there might be a missile attack.
Short-range ballistic missiles belong to the category of ground-to-ground tactical missiles, with a range of less than 1,000 kilometers, and can carry nuclear warheads or conventional warheads, mainly used to attack fixed and active targets in the enemy's campaign and tactical depth beyond the range of ground artillery, such as nuclear weapon launch positions, forward airfields, tank clusters, troop assembly areas, fixed air defense positions, transportation hubs, etc.
The development of short-range ballistic missiles began in the 40s of the 20th century, and its "originator" was the V-2 missile, Germany's famous "weapon of revenge" in World War II. More than half a century later, 20 types of such missiles have been developed and equipped with more than 20 countries and regions.
The development and production of this missile is mainly concentrated in the United States, Russia, and France, but the proliferation of weapons and their manufacturing technology is quite serious.
The United States, Great Britain, Germany, China, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, Greece, France, Russia, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Cuba, Hungary, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Kowichi, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, Israel, North Korea, South Korea, Yemen, and others have such missiles.
So Zhang Tianyuan's worries are not unreasonable, short-range missiles are seriously proliferating, and no one can guarantee that Caesar does not have such a thing.
The most terrifying thing is that it can be replaced with chemical and conventional warheads, which can give the opponent a conventional deterrent and cause military and psychological pressure on it; it can effectively kill and injure the opponent's living forces in war and can attack urban and other surface targets; as a battlefield suppression weapon, it has a longer range and greater power than artillery; and compared with airplanes, it has the remarkable characteristics of being easy to penetrate defenses, not being affected by the weather, and reducing casualties.
"Zhang Tianyuan, you calm down first, that's just your guess, Caesar has no authority to use missiles at all, he is just a criminal gang in South Africa. Liu Ruohan was frightened by Zhang Tianyuan, and was still looking for a reason to comfort himself.
"That's you're wrong, Miss Liu, Caesar can't do it, but the white pastor next to him is not simple, I've heard many people say that that person is actually an American, and he is also an American officer, and for some reason he joined the Cross Society and became a staff officer for Caesar and Alain, and that person may be more terrifying than Caesar and Alain. Rachel seemed to have thought of something at this time, and told everything she knew.
"Then what should I do, do you want to make an emergency landing?" asked Liu Ruohan.
"The key is not to know when the other party will attack, this is difficult, and now that it is above the Indian Ocean, where to make a forced landing at this time?" Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "And if we make a forced landing now, they may use other methods to attack." ”
"Boom!"
Suddenly a loud bang startled everyone, and Zhang Tianyuan was even ready to accept the huge impact, but nothing happened.
"What's going on, Zhang Qin?"
"I don't know, but the plane is fine. Zhang Qin replied.
"No, you can't continue to follow the scheduled route, Zhang Qin, you change the course immediately, and I will immediately contact China to help use satellite positioning to direct us to return to China." Although nothing happened, Zhang Tianyuan still couldn't feel at ease, if the other party really wanted to attack with missiles or fighter jets, then as long as the course was changed, it should be fine.
However, changing course means that you may get lost, which is a very dangerous decision.
But at this time, Zhang Tianyuan still decided to trust his instincts, such a thing is really too dangerous, I believe that those people on the Malaysia Airlines plane don't know what trouble they will encounter when they get on the plane.
"Boss, it's useless to change the course, even the range of short-range missiles has reached 1,000 kilometers, which is a very large range, let's change the course rashly, not only will it not be helpful, but it will cause more serious problems because of panic. And at the end of the day, judging a missile attack is just a matter of your instincts, boss, and as a professional, I have the right to stop such behavior. Zhang Qin never believed Zhang Tianyuan's words.
In order to kill a person, you actually use missiles?
Even if it's just a short-range missile, it's not cheap, who would be crazy like that?
Zhang Qin probably still doesn't know how terrible Caesar is, this guy cooperates with Alain, even a country can be erased from the map, and it seems that there is nothing impossible to deal with Zhang Tianyuan and send out missiles, this kind of thing is really rather credible than none.
But the problem is that this is on an airplane, not on land, so you can change direction if you want to.
Now Zhang Tianyuan is also a little helpless, it is difficult for him to use reasons to convince Zhang Qin, and Zhang Qin is not wrong, rashly changing the course, but he may play himself to death, that is not a wise thing. (To be continued.) )
