Twenty-seven hours after takeoff, the "Falcon" began to reduce its flight altitude. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the westerly winds that prevailed in the first half of the year over the equator, the Falcon's cruising speed increased considerably, and the flight time was shortened by almost an hour.

After the "Falcon" emerged from the clouds, Liu Wei saw the lonely island.

From a distance, the island of St. Pinis looks like a turtle floating on the surface of the sea.

The island is oval in shape, with a major axis from northwest to southeast and a short axis from northeast to southwest. Liu Wei visually found that the area of the small island was less than one square kilometer, which was much smaller than the two square kilometers that Li Tingxuan said. Later, he learned that it was not Li Tingxuan who made a mistake, but the Chilean authorities deliberately used the area at low tide to inflate the asking price. If the area is calculated at high tide, the selling price is at least two-thirds lower.

But for Liu Wei, this is enough.

The runway is built on the southwest side of the island, parallel to the long axis of the island, with a length of between 1,200 meters and 1,500 meters, which can meet the needs of most business aircraft and tactical transport aircraft. The highest point of the island is at the southeastern end, and it is a small hill about 200 meters above sea level at high tide.

The vegetation on the island is dense, but there are not many tall trees.

Not surprisingly, the island is only over 200 years old, and the winter is often windy, and there is not enough soil for plants to grow, so it is mostly composed of low shrubs and trees.

The island's water source is a river that flows down from a small hill and flows northwest into the sea about a third of the length of the long axis at a distance of about one-third of the north-western tip, forming a funnel-shaped estuary. Due to alluvium, the terrain near the estuary is relatively flat and has the only sandy beach on the island.

The construction team has built a temporary port to the south of the estuary.

Because the island is located in an area where westerly winds blow all year round, the harbor is located right on the leeward side, and the wind and waves are relatively small.

After the "Falcon" landed, the head of the construction team rushed over.

The construction team belongs to a mainland construction company that has contracted water conservancy projects in Argentina, but all the construction personnel were arranged by Li Tingxuan, and they are all members of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who have built many important facilities, such as the electronic intelligence ground center in the southwest region, and have rich engineering experience.

After getting off the plane, Liu Wei found that the terrain of the island was very flat, not like a bird's-eye view from the air. Except for the small hill at the southeastern end, the altitude of the rest of the place is about 10 meters.

The environment on the island is very nice and there are a lot of seabirds living there.

It's just that the arrival of the construction team has ruined the peaceful life of the seabirds.

Led by the person in charge of the construction team, Liu Wei walked around the island and then went to the beach north of the estuary. It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere, with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius and warm waters, making it a good season for swimming. After letting a group of girls change into swimsuits, Liu Wei and the others went to the engineering center set up in the tent and asked the person in charge of the construction team to introduce the project plan to them through the drawings.

"We surveyed it, and the topsoil is very shallow, less than half a meter in most areas, and only one meter thick at the thickest, and the bottom is full of volcanic rock." The person in charge of the construction team is a Shandong man named Zhang Zhiyong, who has worked for the Military Intelligence Bureau for more than ten years. "If you follow your idea and build most of the facility underground, the amount of work will be staggering, and the first phase will take twice as long and the cost will quadruple."

"Quadruple as planned?"

Zhang Zhiyong nodded and said, "This is still a conservative estimate, and if it is granite, it will be even worse." ”

"The key is whether it can be built."

"There must be no problem in building, decades ago, the little devil hollowed out the Folding Bowl Mountain on Iwo Jim Island, with the current level of technology, it will definitely be able to hollow out that small mountain, but now is not a war period, everything has to negotiate the price, and the funds required must be very amazing."

"Money is not something you have to worry about." Liu Wei said very decisively.

"But the project time ......"

"The first phase of the project is all located on the surface, and it can be completed if people can live in it. From the second project, the focus shifted to the underground and did what I envisioned. ”

Zhang Zhiyong smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.

"Let's do it this way, and re-plan it."

"No problem, it's done, I'll send it to Lao Li."

At this time, there was a noise of girls outside.

After saying hello to Zhang Zhiyong, Liu Wei called Shang Dianbin out. Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong had already changed into briefs and went down to the sea, Zhou Fen and his wife sat on the beach, and Zhu Shou stood honestly in the distance. The noisy ones were Hua Ruyu's Hong Kong New Girls and Xiao Canglai's Nienies.

"What's the noise? You can't stop arguing anywhere! ”

Liu Wei has long known that Hua Ruyu and Xiao Canglai can't walk together, and they have quarreled a few times in Yueben. If you want to blame Zhou Yulong, the initial contradiction was caused by Hua Ruyu and Bai Shiying, both of whom refused to be "aunt wives", and as a result, it developed into a contradiction between the "Hong Kong Group" and the "Yue Group".

"Brother Liu, you will judge the judges."

"Yes, Brother Liu, you give us a review."

Liu Wei rolled his eyes, dodged Hua Ruyu, and pushed away Xiao Canglai. "Are you still children? In the future, everyone has to live together, look up and don't look down, give way to each other and won't lack arms and legs, and fight for everything to win or lose, isn't it interesting? ”

Several chicks were a little aggrieved, and Zhou Yulong plunged into the water and refused to come out.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I said ......"

"I'll ...... it"

"Enough!" Liu Wei stopped the two and asked Rina Tanaka who came over, "What are they arguing about?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I said that I would choose a name for this small island, Sister Ruyu said it was called 'Little Hong Kong', and Sister Ogura said it was called 'Turtle Island', and there was a quarrel."

"Little Hong Kong? Flowers are like jade, you are vulgar, this is the end of the world, even God can't see it. Liu Wei turned to Kokura and said, "The name of Turtle Island is too ugly, it reminds me of the Japanese Kou." ”

"What's your name?" Rina Tanaka hurriedly asked, lest they quarrel again.

"This ......" Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it 'base', this will be our base in the future." ”

"Come on, do you want to follow in the footsteps of the lantern?" Zhou Fen interjected next to him.

"The name 'base' is too popular, it might as well be called 'homeland'." Bao Liuqing smiled and said, "From now on, this will be our home, right?" ”

"It's a good name, and it has a poetic flavor." Zhou Fen hurriedly agreed.

Liu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Home is home, listen to Sister Bao." ”

Now, no one raised any objections.

Seeing that it was still early, the pilot was still maintaining the "Falcon", and then he had to spend two hours to refuel, and he would not be able to leave home until three hours later at the earliest, Liu Wei went to change into swimming trunks.

Under his influence, Rina Tanaka, who had been staying on the beach, also went into the water.

After letting a few little ladies with a bad water surname stay in the shallow water, Liu Wei swam towards the open sea.

After swimming about 240 meters, we entered the deep water. As seen from the plane, out of the shallows, the slope of the seabed increases sharply, and it glides almost vertically into the deep sea.

How deep is this?

When he was about to dive, Liu Wei found that Rina Tanaka followed. "What are you doing here?"

"My surname Shui is very good, you don't have to worry about it."

"The surname Shui is good?" Liu Wei smiled and said, "Do you want to go down and have a look?" ”

"Go down?"

"Look how deep it is."

"We didn't bring scuba gear and we ......"

"What are you afraid of, I'm here." Liu Wei swam over and grabbed Rina Tanaka's arm, "Take a deep breath." ”

Rina Tanaka did not hesitate and quickly took a breath.

Liu Wei's action was just the opposite, exhaling all the air in his lungs.

Diving into the sea, Liu Wei dragged Rina Tanaka to swim towards the deep sea.

In the first twenty meters, Rina Tanaka still felt nothing. But when she found that Liu Wei was diving deeper and deeper, she gradually became afraid. When it was fifty meters, Rina Tanaka struggled. At this depth, the water pressure is equivalent to five atmospheres, and the ultimate dive depth is only 80 meters for a normal person without diving gear, 120 meters for trained divers, and 160 meters for some extreme challengers.

Rina Tanaka is definitely not an extreme lover, and when she dives to eighty meters, she can't stand it.

Finding that Rina Tanaka was struggling, Liu Wei dragged her over, hugged her in his arms, and then bit her lip.

Rina Tanaka was first taken aback, and then even more surprised.

A puff of air passed from Liu Wei's mouth and entered her lungs, dispelling the feeling of suffocation.

Rina Tanaka stared at Liu Wei with wide eyes, completely incredulous.

It's a pity that at this depth, the light is very faint, and the viewing distance is less than eighty meters. Of course, this is only the visual distance of Rina Tanaka, and Liu Wei is still able to see the situation around him, and he can see it very clearly.

After a few more breaths, when Tanaka Rina relieved herself, Liu Wei took her to continue diving.

Because the diving speed is not fast, the air in the lungs dissolves into the blood, increasing the pressure in the body to reach a level that is in balance with the outside water pressure, so the two of them can't feel how powerful the pressure is more than ten atmospheres. It's just that when floating, the speed must be controlled, not too fast, otherwise the nitrogen in the blood will be released, and the human body will explode like a balloon. This is often referred to as deep-water sickness, and under normal circumstances, it is necessary to stay in a pressurized chamber for several hours to be relieved.

After diving for about 200 meters, the two of them came to the bottom.

It was already pitch black around, there was no light, and Liu Wei could only see objects within twenty or thirty meters.

The bottom of the sea is smooth, and like the surface, it is full of volcanic rock formed by the cooling of lava from volcanic eruptions, and there is not much marine life.

After exploring, Liu Weicai put his arms around Rina Tanaka and slowly swam to the water.

This time, he never let go of Rina Tanaka. This balances the pressure in the lungs of the two of them, so that the gas released from Tanaka's body can be sucked out as soon as possible.

Five minutes later, the two were on the surface.

Touching the air, Tanaka took a big gulp, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses.

"You...... You start ......"

"Here, lighter." Liu Wei put Tanaka Rina's hand on the clone gills in his ribs. Having breathed air, the clonal gills are slowly shrinking into their muscles.

"This ...... What is it? ”

"Clone gills so I can breathe underwater."

Rina Tanaka's eyes widened, as if listening to a story.

"Do you still want to be with me now?"

Rina Tanaka didn't answer because it was really a question to think about.

"Let's go back, you can think about it carefully, and come back to me when you've thought about it." Liu Wei smiled and said, "I said a long time ago, if you want to leave, I won't stop you." ”

"Let me think about it, okay?"

Liu Wei nodded and didn't say much.

On the way back, Rina Tanaka didn't sleep and kept thinking about this problem.
