Chapter 240: Unspeakable - Strange Island!
The "Union" spacecraft successfully landed in the Indian Ocean, and the landing point was not deliberately determined by China and the United States, but the best plan was made according to the trajectory of the meteorite flight -- after all, the "fact" of the alien spacecraft was replaced by a meteorite.
In order to make the "behavioral logic" self-consistent, the meteorite arranged by the "Cabinet of Time and Space" is not an ordinary meteorite in the "setting", but a rare metal meteorite, the metal meteorite is not a big deal, but it is emitting a strange electromagnetic pulse all the time, indicating that there is a strong energy inside the meteorite, and the biggest possibility is that there is a natural nuclear reactor inside.
If it is a nuclear reactor, then its scientific research value is already very high, if not, then it is even higher, because human beings themselves have not mastered the way to maintain a certain specific wave frequency of electromagnetic pulse, you know, this meteorite has been drifting in the universe for hundreds of millions of years, and it is still so "vigorous", if it is not a nuclear reactor, then what kind of high-end energy release method does it have?
In short, this is a meteorite that mankind has never seen before, and when it was calculated that it would "pass by" the earth, the two space powers on the earth, China and the United States, decided to jointly leave it on the earth.
in the Indian Ocean.
In addition to the salvage ships of China and the United States, of course, there are other forces.
In addition to countries such as the United States, there is also the Tianzhu country, which claims to be the "hegemon of the Indian Ocean".
Japan and the country are the hounds and logistics nannies of the United States, and it is natural for the United States to come here, because after all, they are "allies" and have too many common interests.
In fact, the salvage of this meteorite must also rely on China's salvage ships, because the world's largest offshore lifting and salvage ship is made in China, with a weight of 140,000 tons and more than 8,000 tons of heavy objects that can be salvaged. And this meteorite is estimated to weigh 7,600 tons, so the salvage ship of Huaguo also came.
Tianzhu is not a force that should have appeared here in the "original plan", and no one in China or the United States has invited it, but how can the third brother, as the arrogant "overlord of the Indian Ocean", watch others fish for things in the "own" ocean?
So the third brother also got involved, and two warships came, and two missile destroyers of the "Calcutta" were also driven.
You know, three years ago, that is, in 2017, Tianzhu Guozuo died and provoked Huaguo once, but of course it was scared, although there was no large-scale full-scale war, but whether it was economic or military, Huaguo gave it a very unkind blow, just honest for two or three years, and recently began to jump again.
Ah San, the heart of the young lady, the heart is higher than the sky, the life of the maid, the life is cheaper than the grass, the internal states are unstable all day long, the rebellion of rebellion, the division of separatism, although there are 100 million "people" population, but all of them are nobles and lords of high caste, the favorite people of the Great Brahma.
This time, it is naturally a good opportunity to divert the domestic contradictions in Tianzhu, and maybe you can bite off a piece of meat from the meteorite and get a piece of the pie.
As for the opponents are China and the United States?
Three years ago, it was cleaned up by Huaguo?
So what?
Afraid? Arouse? Inexistent! Tianzhu is the first in the world, the master of the Indian Ocean, and it is reasonable and legal to "maintain the freedom of shipping routes" at his own doorstep.
As a result, Ah San's two warships stopped 5 nautical miles away from the salvage site.
Why not get any closer?
An American "Ticonderoga"-class super cruiser and two Huaguo 052D missile destroyers are circling around the salvage point!
The third brother didn't move any closer.
Arouse? Inexistent.
When I go back, I want to boast to the media that under the guidance of the Tianzhu Navy, the salvage mission between China and the United States has been carried out very smoothly.
The captain and crew were on the move, and then the two Tianzhu ships were illuminated by the fire control radar.
Being irradiated by the opponent's fire control radar means that this is a warning.
According to international practice, at this time, either retreat or express their intentions, and negotiated by the military command posts of both sides, the two captains of the third brother were ready to retreat, but they suddenly received an order - not only not to retreat, but also to advance another 1 nautical mile!
The reason is simple, the aircraft carrier fleet of their Tianzhu country is approaching quickly!
The two captains were stunned, you just said it was just a show, what is the situation now? Provoking two of the most powerful countries on the planet at the same time? Even they couldn't understand itβthat's not the way to die, was it?
In case of misfire, these two small warships are 100% cannon fodder!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin, I regret to inform you that we have received a tip that Tianzhu has sent a fully staffed aircraft carrier fleet, which is rapidly approaching." The captain of the American "Ticonderoga" communicated with the commander of the Chinese warship, "The other party's intentions are unknown, my opinion is that your salvage ship will not return to China for the time being, and directly transport the meteorite to the nearest island of Diego Garcia, and then make plans after figuring out the intentions of the Tianzhu side, what do you think?" β
"Haha, Colonel William said with a smile, Diego Garcia Island is your US Navy military base in the Indian Ocean, this meteorite is to be jointly researched and developed according to the agreement between our two countries, once this is sent to your military base, I'm afraid 'joint research', it will not be so easy, right? Will your military bases be open to scientists from our country and other countries around the world? Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin, who was wearing a white military uniform, asked with a smile, his face was kind, but he did not give in at all.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin, I just suggested temporarily storing it on Diego Garcia Island, and I didn't say that I would put it there forever, isn't this the Tianzhu aircraft carrier fleet coming? In order to ensure the safety of non-combat vessels, as well as the safety of the meteorite and the Soyuz spacecraft, it is imperative that they be temporarily evacuated to a safe place, right? Admiral William was eloquent, and his reasons were very good.
Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin sneered, he had already received information that the reason why Tianzhu Kingdom ate the bear's heart and leopard gall today and drove their aircraft carrier to make trouble was actually instructed by the United States behind his back!
The United States has used this trick of killing people with a knife I don't know how many times, and it is very familiar - they want a meteorite, but who made the salvage ship a Chinese ship? After the salvage ship of China fished up the meteorite, of course, it had to return to China, and the meteorite was sent to China, and then the scientists of the two countries could study it together, and if the United States had any other requirements, such as cutting some samples and sending them back to the United States by air, it was also possible.
Therefore, it is impossible to turn your face and do things on the surface, but if you want to do something in this world, you don't have to do it yourself, let alone be a superpower.
"I don't know what your mission is." Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin put away his smile, looked serious, and said to the screen and the bearded American captain: "My mission is to ensure that the meteorite and our ship are returned to our country intact!" β
"......" Colonel William raised his eyebrows and was silent for a moment: "The other party is a whole aircraft carrier fleet, are you sure that you are sure that with two destroyers, your ship and meteorite will be intact?" You're not afraid ......."
This is already a threat, but it is threatened with someone else's knife.
"Chinese soldiers have never recognized the word fear!" Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin puffed out his chest, spoke sonorously and powerfully, and then his tone changed again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What's more, isn't there still Colonel William and your cruiser?" According to the agreement between our two countries, you also have the responsibility to protect the safety of ships and meteorites, right? This time, we are acting together! β
Lieutenant Colonel Yang Lin's words made William speechless for a while, of course he knew the content of the agreement, but now is not the time to turn his face, it is too bad to publicly tear up the agreement, especially in this kind of world-renowned situation - there is a scientific research ship next to it, and there are many reporters from all over the world!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
More than 200 nautical miles away, the aircraft carrier fleet of the Tianzhu Kingdom is coming quickly, and the commander-in-chief of the fleet is of course not as "ignorant" as the captains of the two Tianzhu ships on the scene, but he knows that this mission is actually to cooperate with the US military and make Hua Guo obedient and obedient.
There are many incidents in the world that make Tianzhu Country the main leader, but the third brother doesn't care, as long as there are enough interests, what if he is scolded? Anyway, according to the teachings of an ancient religion in their country, if I am scolded by you in this life, I will be able to scold it back in the next life, right?
Tianzhu State's "Vikramaditya" aircraft carrier is 45,000 tons, with a maximum length of 5 meters and a maximum width of 8 meters, and this operation carries 19 fighters, in addition to some destroyer escorts, in fact, it is not a full formation, after all, it is not really going to war, just for show.
"205 nautical miles from the target sea, sir!" In the command cabin of the aircraft carrier, the adjutant reports the situation at any time.
The commander looked into the distance with his binoculars, and suddenly felt that something was wrong - he had traveled this route many times, and he was very familiar with the sea conditions, but why didn't he remember that there were such large islands nearby?
"Confirm the route!" The commander's swarthy face grew more and more serious, and the island, just now, seemed to be ...... Moved?
How is this possible? Blinded?
The adjutant also found a problem, such a large island, there are even very sharp hills on the island, like sharp swords, such a peculiar island landform, if you have seen it before, it is impossible to forget.
"GPS repositioning, route exactly right." The adjutant reported with great difficulty that whether it was satellite positioning or other traditional means, such as a sextant, he was on the right route at high speed.
"Hell yes!" The commander scolded, it is not uncommon in the history of world navigation that some islands will rise and fall from time to time, but from just now to now, 15 minutes, the aircraft carrier fleet has never been able to get around this island, what is going on?
Could it be that the island can still move at the same speed as the aircraft carrier fleet?
The sinking and sinking of islands has been reported, and it is unheard of for an island to move at a speed of 25 knots!
"Full speed ahead !!"
The commander shouted an order that he was going to get the fleet out of this strange place at full speed.
The maximum speed of this aircraft carrier is 30 knots, and the engine needs to run at full power.
Five minutes later, the Commander was horrified to find that they still couldn't get out of the big island!
"What the hell is that?" The commander had never seen or heard of such a strange thing befalling a country's navy.
"Ahh It seems to be leaning over! The adjutant suddenly shouted, and the commander's hair stood on end.
Then, what does it feel like to be forced by an island and not be able to escape?
Tarzan is at the top!
The closer the island gets, the more oppressive it becomes, and the huge barb-like boulders on top of it are terrifying!
"Boom!"
"Boom !!"
"What's going on?!" The commander shouted, and the hull shook violently, this is an aircraft carrier!
"Sir, it's not good, **** furnace...... Uh, the boiler exploded! An officer hurried over to report.
"What...... What the?! The commander froze, not knowing what to say.
It turned out that because they were going at full speed, the engine was overloaded, and then exploded.
This kind of strange thing only happens often to the navy of their Tianzhu country, not only aircraft carriers, but also other destroyers, submarines, and even airplanes, most of which exploded by themselves or fell from the sky by themselves - a long, long time ago, the military equipment of their Tianzhu country was the laughing stock of the whole world.
It's just that now is not the time for a boiler to explode! This living "island" in front of you is terrifying! The boiler exploded, and the power system was all destroyed!
Now I can't even do it if I want to return and escape!
"Order, the frigate will fire cannons at that island, test launch missiles, and deterrence!" The commander shouted.
He thought he must be crazy to have such a violent fear of an island.
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant gave the order.
Several frigates began to shoot, and one missile hit a "barb" boulder hundreds of meters long.
And then there was not even a mark left on the boulder, intact!
"Brahma is above! What's that?! "The commanders of the ships were all in despair.
"Fighter takeoff! Takeoff! Bomb me! Bombing! The Commander waved his arms, he was now sure that it wasn't an island! It's an unspeakable monster!
"Woo woo woo~"
The battle alarm was sounded throughout the fleet.
Nine fighters rose into the air in a row, hovering over the "island".
Their mission is to attack the island, which is arguably the most bizarre mission they have ever taken - what is it to attack the island? Give a specific target, and the missiles they carry on their planes are basically air-to-air, and there are no air-to-ground ones!
Then, in the next second, the pilots began to congratulate themselves on flying the plane in the sky.
Because, the aircraft carrier like a steel monster also flew up with a whirl!
