Chapter 121: Lucky Survival (I)
When Chu Tianjiang came to the airport with Jacqueline, the transport plane had already flown away. Because Halevi had just arrived at the airport with Pierre, and McDonald and Costa had arrived with two other researchers several minutes later, Aldrich did not blame Chu Tianjiang.
After asking the U.S. officers and soldiers who stayed behind to assist in the communication liaison to take a good look at the four scientific researchers, Aldrich took the Doomsday Force to the sinkhole.
According to Howard's deployment, Doomsday forces will set up a cordon near the sinkhole to prevent other personnel from entering the sinkhole.
The transport plane carrying the Scientist has already taken off from Diego Garcia, and the Doomsday Warrior will be able to enter the sinkhole to assist the Scientist after the Scientist arrives.
In order to ensure proper communication, the Doomsday Force set up a radio signal booster near the sinkhole.
The next step is to be patient.
At this time, Liu Zhanbo's patrol plane had already arrived over the islands in front of the island.
After the captain sent a confirmation signal, Liu Zhanbo jumped out of the left hatch.
Liu Zhanbo is forty-one years old, he has served in the Tiger Brigade for 18 years, and became the captain of the brigade six years ago, cultivating excellent special forces like Chu Tianjiang. If these things had not happened, in another four years, Liu Zhanbo would have been promoted to major general and served in the General Staff. Half a year ago, Liu Zhanbo talked to Wu Haiyuan and mentioned that Wu Haiyuan would be promoted to lieutenant colonel within the year, and four years later he would be promoted to colonel and serve as the captain. At that time, Wu Haiyuan did not agree, and proposed to focus on cultivating Chu Tianjiang, and he had already decided to apply for retirement in a few years.
Liu Zhanbo didn't tell Chu Tianjiang about these things.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, Wu Haiyuan died in a secret operation in Somalia, and Chu Tianjiang suddenly returned to China half a month later, picked up Wu Guoxiong, and then disappeared for half a month. By the time he reappeared, he had been assigned to a secret mission to the Military Intelligence Directorate.
These variables caught Liu Zhanbo a little off guard.
For this, he was troubled for a while. The main thing is that if there is no suitable successor, he will have to stay in the Tigers, and it will be difficult to get promoted.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of experienced special forces in the LTTE.
It didn't take long for Liu Zhanbo's life to return to normal. The matter between Wu Haiyuan and Chu Tianjiang has passed, and he can't leave his work behind.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Yang Fanglie called and broke Liu Zhanbo's quiet life.
Like Chu Tianjiang at that time, after listening to the introduction, Liu Zhanbo agreed without thinking about it. The difference is that Liu Zhanbo has no personal purpose, purely to perform the duties of a soldier, that is, to obey the orders issued by his superiors and complete the tasks arranged by his superiors.
Strictly speaking, Liu Zhanbo is not an ideal candidate for a doomsday warrior.
He was ten years older than Chu Tianjiang, and his physical fitness was not as good as before. Even if he occasionally led troops on secret missions, he was mainly commanded in the rear.
In the Tiger Brigade, there are not a few special forces who are more capable than Liu Zhanbo.
Yang Fanglie chose Liu Zhanbo, in addition to valuing Liu Zhanbo's actual combat experience, he also had a more long-term consideration, that is, to lay the foundation for the formation of the doomsday troops of the Chinese army.
If the Doomsday Force is formed in the future, the members will definitely be mainly from the Tiger Brigade, and Liu Zhanbo is the captain of the Tiger Brigade, so he is naturally the best candidate for the commander. Don't forget, Yang Fanglie has already recommended Liu Zhanbo as Howard's recommender, and has high hopes for him. Let Liu Zhanbo become the second doomsday warrior after Chu Tianjiang, and let him become familiar with the doomsday warrior system as soon as possible, which will definitely be of great help to form the doomsday army in the future.
Over the course of several days, in the process of testing, training, and modulation, Liu Zhanbo gained a comprehensive understanding of the Doomsday Warrior system.
With more than ten years of experience in the deputy instrument and rich experience in display, Liu Zhanbo fully realized that the Doomsday Warrior system has raised the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers to a new level. As long as the functions of the Doomsday Warrior system are fully utilized, the infantry, which can only be used as cannon fodder in the past, will exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The key is how to bring out the full functionality of the Doomsday Warrior system.
It's just that Liu Zhanbo's understanding of the Doomsday Warrior system is far less than Chu Tianjiang's, because he didn't train in the virtual system.
The altitude was rapidly decreasing, and when he was two hundred meters above the ground, Liu Zhanbo pulled out his parachute.
The speed decreased sharply, and when he was about ten meters above the ground, Liu Zhanbo unhooked his parachute backpack and fell to the ground, where the parachute was blown away by the strong wind.
This parachute is made of a special material that dissolves quickly when exposed to water.
Hiding under a sloping rock, Liu Zhanbo activated the radio source positioning system and at the same time turned on the orbital schedule of the reconnaissance satellite provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Because there is only one device for detecting radio signals, only the direction of the radio signal source can be measured.
According to Yuan Dezhi's explanation, the radio signal source will only send out a set of signals after a while, and Liu Zhanbo waited very patiently.
After two minutes, the Doomsday Warrior system intercepted a shortwave signal.
It only lasted less than a second.
This is enough, at least let Liu Zhanbo know which direction the signal is coming from.
After checking the orbital schedule of the reconnaissance satellite and confirming that there were no reconnaissance satellites overhead, Liu Zhanbo activated the force enhancement system and rushed out of the reconnaissance satellite at lightning speed.
If the amount of force is increased tenfold, the Doomsday Warrior can run at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour!
Coming to the second hiding place, Liu Zhanbo waited patiently again.
This time, it took three minutes to receive that shortwave signal again. Because there are more than 100 reconnaissance satellites of various countries in low-earth orbit, one-third of which pass over the Japanese mainland, and the orbit of each reconnaissance satellite is different, so the time available for Liu Zhanbo's activities is different each time. Sometimes it's just a few seconds, sometimes it's a few minutes, and Liu Zhanbo has to precisely control the timing of his activities.
Because it is not directly towards the signal source, the direction measured is different each time, so using the triangulation method, Liu Zhanbo has roughly determined the position of the signal source.
After repeating this more than ten times, Liu Zhanbo came to the woods near the beach.
The signal source is here, and the deviation will not exceed five meters.
According to the information provided by Yuan Dezhi, the radio transmitter must be buried in the ground, and the signal is sent by an antenna exposed to the ground.
In the woods, Liu Zhanbo no longer needs to be deliberately hidden.
All he has to do is activate the infrared stealth and radar stealth functions of the Doomsday Warrior and not be detected by reconnaissance satellites equipped with infrared imagers and synthetic aperture radar. Because visible stealth is not used, the stored electrical energy can last for fifteen minutes.
A few minutes later, Liu Zhanbo found the antenna buried in the trunk of a large tree.
It's very cleverly set, and the exposed part of the antenna is disguised as a dead branch that looks like it's about to fall, and you can't really see it if you don't pay attention.
Find the antenna, and the rest is simple.
It didn't take much effort for Liu Zhanbo to find the location of the buried container, and then spent a few minutes digging out the container buried a few meters underground.
Before opening the container, Liu Zhanbo activated the satellite communication system to send real-time image information to the rear.
At this time, Yang Fanglie, Yuan Dezhi, Luo Jinyong, Ding Mingcong and others were already sitting in front of the video communication equipment, waiting for Liu Zhanbo's news.
"Colonel, did you find it?"
"Found it." Liu Zhanbo turned his gaze to the container so that others could also see it. "Completely sealed, no cracks found in the housing, surface temperature is normal."
"Can it be opened?" Luo Jinyong immediately asked.
Liu Zhanbo searched the container and found an electronic lock mounted on the top and protected by a steel plate. "It's an electronic combination lock, and it requires a password."
Now, it stumped everyone.
"Do you want me to open it?"
"No, don't move." Yuan Dezhi hurriedly said, "This thing must have a self-destruct device, and forcibly opening it will inevitably destroy the samples inside." ”
"Bring it back. Lao Yuan arranged for a patrol plane to pick up Senior Colonel Liu Zhanbo to return to China. Yang Fanglie sighed.
Luo Jinyong and Ding Mingcong were also a little disappointed, they both wanted to know immediately if there was a genetic sample in the container that Tomosuke Yamashita said.
"Lao Liu, the patrol plane arrived in half an hour and landed on the west side of the island."
"Understood."
"Keep in touch."
"Yes!"
Yuan Dezhi began to deploy the response operation, Yang Fanglie turned off the video communication system, and Luo Jinyong also stood up. He didn't want to come to Yang Fanglie, Wei Longzheng had already arranged an office for him, but Yang Fanglie asked him to come over, so it was naturally difficult to refuse.
"Professor, go get ready. After Liu Zhanbo returned, he immediately began to study. ”
"First of all, you have to open the container."
"Yuan Dezhi will definitely send the best lockpicking experts to come, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to crack the code of the electronic lock."
Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll prepare." ”
"If you need anything, you can find me, or find Wei Longzheng."
Luo Jinyong nodded, said goodbye and left Yang Fanglie's office.
At this time, on the island of Amsterdam.
According to Howard's order, the Doomsday Force set up a symbolic cordon near the sinkhole, and then divided into five teams according to the combat formation, four of which were stationed on the four sides of the sinkhole, while Aldrich and Alfred were responsible for monitoring the four teams on the side of the airport.
In this case, it is impossible for anyone to go down to the bottom of the sinkhole alone, or even to get close to the sinkhole in concealment.
Chu Tianjiang was not in a hurry, because he had gone down and already had some understanding of celestial bodies, and the other nine doomsday warriors had not descended to the bottom of the sinkhole.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang can't say it.
Halevy didn't know what Chu Tianjiang had done before, so he didn't ask too much.
Time passed minute by minute, which made Chu Tianjiang feel very bored.
The Doomsday Force was formed to fight the invading armies of extraterrestrial civilizations, but now, they had to keep an eye on the Y Celestial Bodies like Scrooge's watchdogs, and no one was allowed to get close. Chu Tianjiang felt that this was a great irony, if he had known the Dao, I am afraid that no one would have proposed the formation of the Doomsday Army. Such a task can be accomplished by the most ordinary army, and can it be used to dispatch the Doomsday Army, which cost hundreds of billions of dollars to build?
