Chapter 164: Five Photos
Even so, the rate of attrition of aircraft of the reconnaissance formation was still more than 85%. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info flew close to the first photo sent back to get the coordinates and learned that except for flying to the nearest 200 kilometers from the coordinates of the first crashed plane, the other planes had to be forced to return outside the radius of 500 kilometers.
So the Allied parties involved in the project jointly decided. With the huge black spot as the center of the circle, a 500-kilometer area was designated as a no-fly and no-navigation zone, and named the No. 0 forbidden area.
The Arctic route was determined to bypass the No. 0 exclusion zone and detour 1,000 nautical miles to the south, finally opening up the Arctic route.
Extremely precious photographs were shown in exchange for the lives of warriors. In addition to the increase in brightness of the 12 bright spots, it seems that there are very thin bright lines connected to each other to form a dodecagonal. The speculation at the time was that of a glacier or an ice crevasse. The diameter of the two large black spots expands to 6 km.
In order to protect the smooth flow of the route, Allied aircraft still maintain the monitoring of the two black spots A and B and the 12 bright spots in Area 0 as landmarks twice a year during the navigation period. Two years later, the AB landmark was expanded to 11 km, and the line between the 12 highlights not only remained intact regardless of any climate and glaciers, but also converged towards the central point of the AB's shortest line.
The entire Sector 0 looks like a giant wheel. All this cannot be explained by natural phenomena. As a result, Allied polar monitoring was classified as highly secret, and monitoring was increased to four times a year.
According to the information that the plane that ventured close to the core of Area 0 was reported back in time before the crash. The radius of the No. 0 exclusion zone has been expanded to 800 kilometers, which has threatened the Arctic shipping line, and the height of the safe flight has gradually increased from 45,000 meters to 7,000 meters. In fact, it has already exceeded the maximum altitude of the flight in the polar regions at that time.
By the time the war in the western half of the globe was victoriously over and the front had fully turned east, the Arctic route had lost its relevance. After abandoning the Arctic route and carrying out the last flight reconnaissance mission to the No. 0 exclusion zone, the photos taken by the pilots were shocking.
Photographs of the reconnaissance aircraft launch meeting clearly show a large number of ice cracks in Area 0. There are only 3 bright spots left in the original wheel-shaped shape. The diameter of the large black spot has shrunk to 200 meters, and the connection between the bright spots has disappeared. In terms of position, the remaining 3 bright spots are no longer continuously glowing. Rather, it comes and goes, flickering one after another.
The brave reconnaissance aircraft pilot lowered the flight altitude to 500 meters. After obtaining and sending the closest photos with extreme clarity, he heroically disappeared into the vast ice field.
The last photographs obtained show the area in what appears to have been hit by a meteorite. Judging from the extent of the destruction of the ice, the meteorite that hit the ground was at least the size of a bus. However, at that time, all the observatories in the world did not observe any information about such a large meteorite rushing into the atmosphere.
However, for some countries, this event has a different meaning. The Manhattan nuclear weapons research project, which was classified as top secret at the time, had been successfully tested. This gives the country, which has nuclear weapons technology, reason to speculate that the information provided by this photograph is the site of a nuclear test explosion.
Although there were no anomalies in the results of atmospheric radioactivity tests. But it was still not enough to comfort the top brass with extreme concern. The most immediate assumption is that the plaster country, which is in a state of hostilities, has successfully conducted a nuclear test.
This assumption caused great consternation. This led to the decision to take a top-secret operation, which led to the urgent activation of two air raids in the history of mankind to massacre each other with nuclear weapons.
The enemy finally surrendered unconditionally overnight under the heavy blow of these two nuclear weapon strikes. Although this is not a surrender in the true sense of the word, but only a unilateral declaration of the end of the armed confrontation. But after all, the war in the east, which was being waged in an incomparably tragic way, came to an abrupt halt. Or finally let the people be able to welcome the arrival of peace.
Military monitoring operations have ceased. However, scientific surveying and monitoring of Area 0 is still ongoing.
From the first satellite film images obtained in the sixties to the more recent digital images. There were two unfathomable black dots on AB, which were originally less than 300 meters in diameter. Although it has increased gradually, very slowly over the decades, it is estimated that it has increased by nearly 100 metres only as of the most recent information received.
In the center of the bright spot that surrounds the dark spots, there is a point that has been able to stay bright all year round. The brightness and size of the other two dots are increasing year by year.
Wei Lao sighed, rubbed his brow with his right hand, and said softly to himself: "I always remember the things of my youth, are you old?" ”
Just closing his eyes, Wei Lao concentrated, and then continued to carefully identify the pile of flowers in the photo. This is a photo with a large angle. Unlike the top view, the side view has more pronounced side corner lines. The appearance clearly shows that this is not a simple pile of flowers, but a humanoid pile of flowers like a winter child building a snowman.
Wei Lao shook his head and flipped through the second photo in his hand. Compared to the previous one, it can be seen that the satellite is running at high speed to an oblique position. This is a magnified upright diagram. The door to the space looked like a bright line as thin as a hair behind the flower-covered figure.
The human figure covered in flowers is actually just a cloud of light and shadow the size of peanuts in the photo. But from the pile of flowers, like a blind man using a cane, stretched out a section to the left front. The humanoid flower pile is about 1 km from landmark A and about 1.5 to 2 km from landmark B.
Wei Lao flipped to the third one, which was the one where the satellite flew around the earth at an angle of 2 degrees, and the space door presented a vertical line as wide as a matchstick, but the distance between it and the flower cluster was more than a kilometer. In other words, the flower pile is only 200-300 meters away from landmark A at most.
Wei Lao knew that when the satellite around the pole passed through the pole, the ground movement speed was almost 0. The orbit of the satellite is running at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per second. In other words, in about a second, the flower cluster crosses a distance of more than 1 kilometer or so on the ground.
"More than 60 kilometers per minute? Or does it not depend on the speed of the space gate? At least it's the Ning Dan period! Wei Lao secretly commented in his heart.
The small shadow of light still maintained the posture of the right hand stretched slightly to the side and forward. This right-handed groping posture is stiff and unnatural.
The fourth is a 1,000-fold magnified digital analytic composite image. It seems that Xiao Du selected and synthesized this picture according to his screenshot command. It's a pity that Xiao Du was affected by his request to pay attention to the stick during the day, and the focus was on looking for something like a stick. The result is this meaningful image of a Chinese knot-like rod tied under a branch protruding from a pile of humanoid flowers.
