Chapter 071: Into the Jungle
That night, Zhou Jian went to the Brazilian Bush Hunters Association, he came here to rent a helicopter, even if the best bush hunters are difficult to get a helicopter gunship of their own, generally people who really have this value have long since washed their hands, after all, this is a profession of life, of course, it is not excluded that there are some outlaws, born to take risks, for them, jungle hunting is not for making a living, but for enjoyment.
At the beginning of the last century, armed helicopters are still a few military powers can master the technology, the general countries including the so-called armed helicopter Wuzhi-9 in China, Wuzhi-8 is actually an improved version of ordinary helicopters, they are still far behind foreign armed helicopters, alligators, cobras and other armed helicopters.
Later, the Holocaust broke out, and the level of human armament was greatly improved, but even so, the helicopter gunship that could really fight in the jungle was not something that a jungle hunter association could afford to do, and it was not necessary.
The gunship used by the Hunter Association is still a modified version, which is about the same level as the Huaxia Wuzhi-9, but the endurance is much stronger, with a maximum range of 1,500 miles, which sounds quite far, but because it is a round trip to the Amazon forest, and it is necessary to reserve flight time to search, this helicopter can only rescue jungle hunters within 700 miles of the Amazon forest at most.
Zhou Jian went to the Jungle Hunters Association to go through the formalities, paid a deposit of 15,000 US dollars, and successfully rented a gunship, if it was a maximum distance of 700 miles, the travel cost would be more than 13,000 US dollars.
------------------------------------------
A small passenger plane with only 35 passengers rumbled across the sky, this plane does not look good, in fact, the cost is better than the Boeing 767 aircraft at the end of the 20th century, the characteristic alloy metal turbine blades, enough to withstand the impact of the birds under Mach 1.0, and if the ordinary passenger plane hits the high-speed birds, it will be forced to land because of the damage to the engine turbine blades, and may even catch fire and crash.
In addition, the aircraft's rain protection system is very good, considering that the Amazon forest rains on average seven days a week, and it is often dense and heavy thundershowers. In fact, it doesn't matter much if the plane passes through the thunderstorm area even if it is struck by lightning, because the shell of the aircraft conducts electricity very well, and the strong current will flow naturally, which will not cause any damage to the casing, at most damage some radio equipment or something.
Because the chassis is an equipotential body of its own, the passengers in it will naturally be short-circuited without any sensation. This is the same principle as when a bird stands on a high-voltage power line, because the distance between the bird's feet is very short, and the potential difference is very small, so even if the high-voltage line passes through a high-intensity current, the bird is safe.
However, when the plane flies in rainy weather, not only the heavy rain will affect the pilot's vision, but also the jet engine will stop due to inhaling too much raindrops, and the downdraft under the clouds will also make the plane unstable, so the plane will be grounded if the rain is too heavy.
The modified aircraft of the Jungle Hunter Association uses an improved military jet engine, and the turbofan that rotates at high speed in front of the engine can shake off most of the rain and ice slag, and the remaining small point can also be centrifugally dispersed in the engine internal tract, and then heated and volatilized, so it can fly in thunderstorms.
In addition to these, the aircraft also has a GT5 Vulcan heavy machine gun with 6,000 rounds a minute and a Sidewinder series of homing missiles.
The aircraft was converted from a civilian aircraft by the Brazilian company FBH Bounty Hunters and was specifically designed to transport bush hunters, although the engines and weapons systems that are at the heart of the aircraft's technology were purchased directly from the United States.
The plane quickly flew into the heart of the Amazon forest, and Zhou Jian looked at the GPS positioning system on his wrist and pressed the bell above the seat.
"Dismount?" The only flight attendant on the plane looked at Zhou Jian with some surprise, the young man in front of him looked at most twenty years old, and his body was not strong, he actually chose to get off the plane in this place, this is the most dangerous area of the Amazon forest, and going down is almost equivalent to suicide.
"Hmm." Zhou Jian nodded.
"Are you sure you get off here? Below is the famous Triangle of Death in the Amazon Forest. ”
"Yes." Zhou Jian replied blandly, ignoring the surprised or pitiful gazes of the several bushhunters in the audience, who were talking in Portuguese, and although Zhou Jian couldn't understand it, he could roughly guess whether they were discussing whether they were neurotics or idiots.
"Sir, although you are free to choose the place of disembarkation, I must tell you that in my one year of service for the FBH company, I have only seen two passengers disembark here, and as far as I know, they both died, according to the statistics of the Jungle Hunters Association, the fatality rate of disembarkation here is more than 85%, and most of the 15% of those who survived were still unable to hold on, and sent a rescue signal to leave by helicopter, and the maximum rescue distance of the helicopter was only 700 miles, It's more than 1,100 miles from Norris City, which means you'll have to walk at least 400 miles to get ......."
"Thank you for your advice, I checked this information before boarding." This stewardess has a good heart, Zhou Jian interrupted her and smiled amicably to apologize, after all, the speed of the plane is very fast, and if the stewardess continues, she may miss the place to get off the plane.
"Okay." The flight attendant no longer tried to persuade Zhou Jian and used the walkie-talkie to notify the pilot to open the cabin door.
Zhou Jian left his seat with his parachute bag on his back, and strode to the door of the cabin, regardless of the pity or ridicule from the bounty hunter in the seat.
The wind tore at his hair, and beneath his feet was the Amazon forest, which stretched like a sea of green.
This symbolic primeval forest has now become a hell of killing, but also a paradise of **, countless jungle hunters rushed to the Amazon, hoping to get rich overnight, but most of them just became dry bones buried here.
Zhou Jian gritted his teeth and jumped down.
The small passenger plane did not fly high, and not long after Zhou Jian fell, he only felt that his back was pulled suddenly, and the whirring wind in his ears became quieter, and his parachute had been successfully opened.
Skydiving is not difficult to learn, some people think that the passenger plane does not have a parachute bag because the passenger has not received professional training, parachuting ten ** to fall to death, in fact, this is not the case, the passenger is not trained, then the pilot will parachute, in fact, once the plane crashes, the pilot has not heard of survival.
Some people also say that the airliner does not have a parachute bag because the plane flies in the stratosphere, the air pressure outside is low, the temperature is low, jumping down is a death, this statement is quite speechless, only the brain-dead will parachute in the stratosphere above 10,000 meters, in fact, many times the plane has an accident, you can also hover at low altitude for a while, looking for a forced landing point, the parachute jump altitude at this time is absolutely a matter, even if the plane loses power and cannot keep hovering at a low altitude, there is not enough time for everyone to parachute, you can also set up an ejection seat.
In fact, civil airliners do not have parachute bags because in most cases, the plane can be safely forced to land in case of failure, even if it flies to mid-air and runs out of fuel, it can also be glided down by the habitual surname, of course, unless the tail of the aircraft is broken, then it is dead, in fact, this kind of thing really happened in history, because of the air turbulence, the flight is unstable, the pilot in order to stabilize the aircraft over-adjust the rudder of the tail, resulting in excessive pressure, the old aircraft vertical tail synthetic material is torn off, sometimes lucky, Just ripped off the rudders, then there was still the possibility of a forced landing, and the vertical tail fell off, basically announcing the death of the crew and passengers.
At that time, the plane lost its horizontal balance and rolled in the air, and then the wings and turbine engines disintegrated one after another because they could not withstand the huge pressure of the air flow, and they could not stand on their feet, and they could not jump out with a parachute, and at that time, the plane was only a few seconds from the height suitable for parachuting to crash, and the passengers of a passenger plane did not have time to parachute.
Plane crashes are generally due to forced landing failures, which is very rare, and no one has the ability to predict the future, and the probability of dying by parachuting is even greater, after all, even trained paratroopers can die because of parachuting.
Zhou Jian's parachute is directly attached to the plane and opens automatically, so you can become proficient with a little learning.
……
The sky was gloomy, the visibility of the wood-lined Amazon forest was very low, Zhou Jian's parachute finally hung on the treetops, he took out his saber to cut the parachute line, jumped down, and Zhou Jian breathed a long sigh of relief after landing, the feeling of low-altitude skydiving was really exciting.
The floor of the Amazon forest is covered with litter that has accumulated over a long period of time and has become as thick as a soft carpet, and the shrubs and trees are lush, the air is filled with the smell of fresh earth, and the occasional pleasant chirping of insects or birds can be heard, and they are courting or asserting their territory to their own kind.
Everything seemed very peaceful, but Zhou Jian knew that behind this peacefulness was the ubiquitous killing machine.
Zhou Jian first threw the GPS positioning device on his wrist into the inventory, and then turned on the skill stealth, in the Amazon forest, the danger is unpredictable at all, maybe a branch next to you suddenly jumped up and attacked you, until you died only to find that it was not a branch at all, but a mimic snake, the animals here are all experts in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, even experienced jungle hunters are likely to be attacked unknowingly, and then they are eaten and turned into dung to improve the rainforest soil.
Step by step, step by step, this is the Amazon forest.
The light in the rainforest was dim because of the trees, and Zhou Jian's vision was only a dozen meters away.
Hunting here is a hard job, not only the visibility is very low, but also the air is hot and humid and impermeable, coupled with dense vegetation, it is not easy to find a way to get down, all kinds of mosquitoes in the rainforest bite people day and night, in fact, a few bites by a black mosquito as long as the knuckles are lucky, if you are bitten by some strange things, such as the Amazon poison dart frog or the Amazon Bluetooth tarantula bite is likely to die.
If you want to sleep in the rainforest, you must use a special sleeping bag, which must be tough and waterproof, otherwise even if it does not rain, the moisture in the forest will be enough to wet the sleeping bag overnight.
After taking out the sleeping bag, climb up the tree, tie the sleeping bag rope to the branch, and then climb into the sleeping bag to sleep like a hanged man, and pray before going to bed that some long-armed golden ape or other animals will peel off the sleeping bag as a large silkworm cocoon and eat it at night.
The average jungle hunter does not dare to spend the night in the rainforest, which is one of the reasons why they cannot come to the heart of the Amazon.
Zhou Jian took the backpack out of the inventory, and all the things in it were purchased according to the list that the Brazilian beauty had made for him.
A bright flashlight, a saber, two climbing ropes, a bottle of aromatic hydrocarbon insect repellent, two sets of clothes, a waterproof lighter, an MP5 miniature submachine gun, three hundred rounds of ammunition, a 44 caliber Desert Eagle, two magazines, a firing hook grab, a GPS locator, a spare American compass, a small telescope. In addition, there is a wax-like thing, this thing emits a smell similar to a sterol secreted by the mutant anacon during courtship, and the mutant anaphylla can be smelled ten kilometers apart, without which it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find the poor mutant anacon with a small number in the vast Amazon forest.
Zhou Jian rubbed the wax block on his body, sprayed a little insect repellent, and then he began this trip to the Amazon jungle.
Walking through the lush Amazon forest is not easy, with tall trees taking up most of the space, layers of shrubs and young trees, and various vines clinging to it, many of which have to be hunched over.
Walking aimlessly in the jungle for a few kilometers, pushing aside the thick bushes, Zhou Jian found a long black animal like a pig arching around on the ground foraging, walking so far, Zhou Jian finally met an animal he knew, this thing is called American tapir.
The American tapir is not an ordinary ugly, timid born surname, and feeds on plants.
Although Zhou Jian's footsteps were very soft, the American tapir still felt something, raised its big head and looked around, its pig-like nose stretched and shrunk, as if it was sniffing something, and finally it still couldn't see Zhou Jian in the stealth, hummed and chirped a few times, and lowered its head to forage for food.
Zhou Jian observed for a while, and suddenly had an idea, can the ghost slayer clone catch the baby in reality?
In the game of "Gods and Demons", there is a map called the Holy Beast Mountain, the Holy Beast Mountain will brush out the Holy Beast Baby, players above level 20 can come to the Holy Beast Mountain to catch the baby back to cultivate, and then through pairing, breeding, screening, cultivate the second generation of excellent babies and the third generation of babies, the baby can comprehend skills after upgrading, including auxiliary skills, attack skills, state skills, etc., the baby can take the elixir to increase the surname, and after reaching a certain level, you can also configure equipment.
