Wu Xiaoqing once heard several old people in Dayang Village talk about the origin of his name.

It is said that his parents originally wanted to name him Wu Qing, but then they found a fortune teller, and the fortune teller said that he was very bitter in his life, but when he met the water, he was auspicious, so he added three points of water to Qing, but later felt that in this way, the water is not too much, and the Taoists have a saying that if the surplus is full, it will be lost, so a small word was added, so it was just balanced.

Wu Xiaoqing felt that it was quite accurate, if he hadn't been forced to jump into the river, he wouldn't have today's life. But this plus a small word is obviously not enough to balance the excessive moisture in his life.

Wu Xiaoqing had been on a ship before, but it was a large cargo ship of thousands of tons, and although it was in the flood, it was always on the ground. He thought that the so-called sea was actually no different from a flood, except that there was more water and it was deeper.

But after three days of sailing, he knew he was wrong.

There was nothing else around except the blue water, and for Wu Xiaoqing, this made him feel more scared than the trapeze world.

At least in the trapeze world, he can still see the island.

"Hey, Wu," a pair of big hands pressed down on Wu Xiaoqing's shoulders, and then another bottle of beer was stuffed in his hand, "What, don't like the sea?" ”

"No......" Wu Xiaoqing looked at the beer, shook his head and put it back, "I don't drink." ”

It's past 5 a.m., he can't sleep to get up, and even if Chinese like to drink, they won't start in the morning.

"Shen said that today is your 18th birthday, and you can already drink."

"I don't like to drink."

Is it my birthday? Wu Xiaoqing thought. But it doesn't matter, this so-called birthday is just a casual nonsense when I went to apply for an ID card. For Wu Xiaoqing, this day has only one legal significance, he can learn to drive with a driver's license after he goes back, that's all.

"Okay......" Yevgeny shook his head incredulously, then lay down in the chair next to him, lazily slipped the hook with bait, and flung it out, "you Chinese really have money now." In the past, when I went to China, you always shouted, "Suffer first, then enjoy." Now it's the other way around, go on vacation first, then work. ”

Wu Xiaoqing did not speak. Yevgeny had asked him many similar questions in the past two days, but the search and rescue team had not answered him a word.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't know why the search and rescue team did this, maybe it was because of secrecy, maybe it was because of other considerations, but no matter what, the Russian in front of him was obviously still a little uncertain. His face looked light, but he was actually a little apprehensive. Shen Changwen said that this Yevgeny had suffered such a loss in the United States, and his son used to take drugs and contracted it when he went on vacation with a few strangers.

What reassured Yevgeny was that he didn't find any drugs on the whole ship, and if they had to make him get into any vices, it was to deliberately induce him to drink heavily - they came out this time and brought more than 20 bottles of beluga whale, and Shen Changwen also told him that at the end of this vacation, whether he drank it or not, the rest would be given to him for free.

"Yevgeny, I can't see it, you are still a person with a strong sense of responsibility," to Wu Xiaoqing's surprise, the search and rescue team actually replied this time, "If you don't tell you about the content of your work, you can't even drink vodka, okay, go and call Shen Changwen over, let's talk about this work." ”

"Now? Isn't it early? Evgeny pointed to the rising sun in the distance, "Okay...... You are the boss. ”

Shen Changwen seemed to have slept well, and after coming to the deck, he stretched his waist and did stretching exercises, and then went to the kitchen to get the sandwich that he didn't finish last night, which was coated with caviar.

Shen Changwen also brought a piece to Wu Xiaoqing, but Wu Xiaoqing was not used to the strange smell of caviar, and he was willing to wipe a bag of tomato sauce for a few cents.

The three of them finished their breakfast silently, and at this time, the whole sun had jumped out of the horizon, the golden light spread over the calm sea, and the cool breeze blew, which was just intertwined with the cold and warm of the faint sunshine, which made people extremely comfortable. Wu Xiaoqing was probably a little tired from sitting, stood up, leaning his back against the railing - then he would need to "say" a lot of things, and experience told Wu Xiaoqing that the standing posture helped him adjust his posture at any time, which greatly improved the naturalness of the "performance".

Wu Xiaoqing glanced at Shen Changwen, Shen Changwen nodded, and then the search and rescue team began to speak.

"Dr. Evgeny," the search and rescue team's Russian made Evgeny feel friendly, but his tone made him subconsciously nervous, and his face gathered a rare seriousness, listening to him continue, "Do you have any special thoughts about where we are now?" ”

Yevgeny did not quite understand the meaning of the search and rescue team's words: "Ideas? Can you be more specific? What type of idea? ”

"Yes," the search and rescue team said, "I'll give you one more hint, in 1968, you should have been 15 years old, but by the time you got to work, you'd have heard about that time and what happened here." ”

"In 1968?" Yevgeny picked up his phone, looked at the world map in general to make sure, then he looked up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about K-129?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing nodded. Shen Changwen also stood up at this time, just on the other side of the deck, looking at the calm water.

"I know some, huh...... From the point of view of the subject matter, this is indeed very suitable for filming as a movie," Yevgeny breathed a sigh of relief, he finally knew why the other party's film consulting company would come to find him, and brought him to Hawaii for a vacation, "You can actually go to the St. Petersburg Military Museum to check the specific information about this matter, there should be a lot of relevant people in the incident in Russia, as well as the families of the victims." Of course, I can do all of that. ”

Next, Yevgeny began to repeat the whole story of the K-129 incident, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen had known these materials more than a dozen times before, but they didn't mind the Russians in front of them repeating it from his point of view.

K-129 is the first generation of conventional ballistic * submarine developed by the former Soviet Union in the 1950s, on March 8, 1968, for unknown reasons, sank in an area about 1,400 kilometers northwest of Oahu, when the submarine still had three nuclear warheads.

In 1974, the CIA secretly salvaged part of the wreckage of the submarine, but * remained. Around this submarine, the Soviet Union and the United States at that time launched various contests, and finally the two sides tacitly agreed to keep the wreckage cold.

From 1968 to 2018, the wreckage of this submarine has been under the water of more than 4,000 meters in the Pacific Ocean for half a century. In any sense, the wreckage is not worth salvage.

Back then, the Americans salvaged it in order to obtain the codebook in the wreckage, but now, the mighty red giant has fallen for almost 30 years. The nuclear submarine is not the Titanic, there is no heart of the ocean in it, and at a depth of 4000 meters, even the government has to consider the huge cost to pay for it. The ship has become a thing of the past, and if the search and rescue team had not taken the initiative to mention this special time and place, Yevgeny himself would not have thought of the event itself at all.

"As a movie subject, K-129 does have a lot to describe, and many people even think that it is a nuclear attack on the island of Hawaii that the Russians plotted in the first place. After the sinking, the U.S. government set up the Azores program in order to salvage the ship......"

Wu Xiaoqing waved his hand lightly: "No need to continue, Professor Yevgeny, I am not interested in the details of this incident itself, I came to you here, I just want to confirm a detail." If, I mean, if the three* of the K-129 were salvaged, would they still be able to detonate normally? ”

"Of course it's impossible," Yevgeny said, "there will be no problems with the nuclear material itself, but there will certainly be problems." The effective detonation period of a general nuclear weapon is only a decade or twenty years, and beyond this time limit, it is necessary to overhaul and replace the entire detonation fuse...... As you've probably heard, I used to design this work...... It's just a pity that because of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, I can't write a thesis, let alone make money. As soon as the USSR was dissolved, everything was over. ”

"No, Professor, it's not over yet," said the search and rescue team, "and you mentioned the movie just now. If I want to make a movie based on this incident, the protagonists of the movie are those three nuclear bombs. You know, the protagonist is always hidden in the snow first, and then, at a suitable opportunity, shines again. ”

"Blooming?" Yevgeny frowned, and his eyes were a little wary when he looked at Wu Xiaoqing, "The light of nuclear weapons? Where do you want it to bloom? ”

"In movies, nuclear weapons are often the most righteous force, especially when used to deal with those particularly bad villains," Wu Xiaoqing said with a smile, "such as aliens, evil anti-human doctors...... In the movie, there will always be an enemy suitable for it, right? ”

Yevgeny couldn't laugh, I don't know why, the young Chinese man in front of him was obviously talking about something inconsequential, but listening to his ears, he always felt a kind of ...... Eerie realism. He couldn't help but take a bottle of beluga whale beside him, took a small sip, relied on alcohol to suppress the fear in his heart, and followed Wu Xiaoqing's words and said: "If this is the case, there is indeed a theoretical possibility." But one of the most important premises is also needed, the Americans will not interfere with the salvage of nuclear warheads by this righteous force. ”
