Major General Hamilton was stunned, a piece of metal, what the hell is this?

"See a piece of metal? What do you mean? Where did you see that? He asked, raising his voice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"General, on the rocks below the island, I found a piece of metal, a piece of metal that clearly showed signs of human processing." The frogman replied quickly.

"What's the situation? Let's go into details. Major General Hamilton's brow furrowed slightly.

"General, I'm afraid I can't say clearly, you wait a while, I brought an underwater camera, and I'll come up as soon as I finish taking pictures."

"Okay, hurry up for me if you step on the horse!" Major General Hamilton said loudly.

Fifteen minutes later, the atmosphere in the command cabin of the Nietzsche was unusually solemn.

Looking at the dozen or so photos on the table, Major General Hamilton frowned tightly, and Major James, Captain Warren and others beside him also looked serious.

The images in these photographs are simple, with deep blue water and black rocks, which at first glance are really featureless, but if you look closely, you can see a hint of it.

In the middle of a black rock, a silvery-white piece the size of a bowl was exposed, and there was no doubt that this should not be the color of the rocks under the sea.

In front of Major General Hamilton, there stood a thin young man, who was the frogman who had just spoken to the general, Sergeant Harcresse.

After looking at the photo, Hamilton turned to the young man and asked, "Sergeant, what is this silver-white thing?" What do you think? ”

"General, I think it might be some kind of alloy. I touched it, it was cold, it felt like aluminum alloy, but the hardness was obviously stronger than aluminum alloy, and I stabbed it hard with a dagger, but there was not even the slightest trace left. Sergeant Harcreth stood up straight and said loudly.

"How many meters below sea level is this place?"

"It's about fifty meters away." Sergeant Harcreth recalled.

"What's next to it? Have you researched it? Major General Hamilton asked.

"General, I tried to see if I could pry the rocks off the side of me, but it was very difficult, I tried for about five or six minutes, and the dagger almost broke, and the rocks didn't move at all."

"Oh, and that?" A look of surprise flashed in Hamilton's eyes.

"General, it seems that our speculation is correct, this island is definitely not simple, could it be a mysterious weapon made by the Chinese side?" Major James asked.

Major General Hamilton shook his head and said slowly: "It's not like it, if it's really China's secret weapon, they have no reason to throw it on the high seas, and we made such a big move, they actually didn't react, which is too different from their previous tough style." ”

"General, I personally think that there must be a cat in the island, but we haven't found a mystery to enter it, otherwise, with this piece of silver metal as a breakthrough, we will go straight to the hard, right?" More than 100 of his accomplices disappeared strangely, and Captain Warren of the Philippine-Vietnamese Republic had already held back a fire in his heart.

Hamilton closed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and then opened them suddenly, "Okay, send out the sapper pod and go down to the sea to find out!" I don't believe it, I can't get the island this time. ”

…………

Half an hour later, with the rays of the setting sun, a large round ball with a radius of about five meters slowly sank into the sea under the traction of the wire rope, which was the engineer cabin on the "Nietzsche".

As the latest Burke-class guided missile destroyer put into use by the US Navy, the "Nietzsche" has a certain degree of self-maintenance ability, and the ship is equipped with many advanced maintenance tools, and this full-featured deep-sea engineering cabin is one of them.

When it reached the bottom of the sea thirty meters, the sapper module adjusted its direction, activated its own power propeller, and drove towards the underwater part of the island, behind it, a long titanium steel cable, like a kite string, so that it would not be washed away by the undercurrent in the sea.

Behind, the "Nietzsche" followed from a distance, and in the command cabin, Major James looked nervously at the surveillance screen. There was no way for him not to be nervous, and the commander of this operation, Major General Hamilton, was in the sapper cabin.

On the screen, the scene inside the engineer cabin was very clear, and in the small space, in addition to the five engineers, there were Major General Hamilton, Captain Warren, and the frogman Sergeant Harcresse.

Originally, Rear Admiral Hamilton only needed to stay on the "Nietzsche" for remote command, but this guy was very stubborn and had to go to the sea to conduct on-site command, and as a result, everyone was nervous, afraid of any accidents. You must know that in peacetime, if a naval admiral dies, it must cause an uproar in the United States.

Under the guidance of Sergeant Harcresse, the silvery-white metal was finally found in the sapper cabin, and the difficult ice-breaking journey ensued.

An engineer slowly approaches the silver metal with a sharp drill mounted on the tip of the mechanical arm, which is powerful enough to cut through steel plates.

The motor starts, and the drill spins wildly, pressing against the silvery-white metal with a "sizzling" sound.

"Does this work?" In the sapper cabin, Major General Hamilton asked in a low voice.

"General, this drill bit is made of space titanium alloy, and even diamonds can be cut, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with this little guy, and it will be done soon." One of the engineers replied.

Major General Hamilton nodded, and did not say anything more, but his face remained grim.

Five minutes later, he spoke again and asked, "What's going on?" It's been working for so long, and it hasn't been done yet? Didn't you say it was very fast? ”

"General, this, this, let's try another drill." The engineer said with an embarrassed expression. This time, he was slapped in the face, drilled for five minutes, and did not even make a millimeter of progress, which made him almost vomit blood and die.

Next, the sapper cabin was busy inside and out, several mechanical arms took turns, one drill bit did not work, and then the other one, as a result, changed back and forth, it was all the same result, that is, I was so busy that I almost fell down tired, and the other party still did not move.

In the cabin, Major General Hamilton finally couldn't help it, and was furious, scolding the engineers enough, and even Captain Warren, who came down with him, was not spared and was wildly criticized.

However, the small piece of silver-white metal has become an insurmountable barrier for them. An insurmountable moat. (To be continued.) )
