Chapter 259: Operation Ice Shark (02)
This is very convincing, others have nodded in agreement, indeed, the Russians for a tiger fish, it is unlikely that there are so many manpower, their real purpose may be to obtain the data in the headquarters of the 'Clock Tower', the value of those things is definitely not measured by money, there are a large number of scientific and technological research materials, advanced technical data can not be made in a short period of time by their own research and development, which can be judged from the information obtained from the industrial distribution of the 'Clock Tower' around the world, The 'Clock Tower' is definitely world-leading in research in some fields.
"Everyone must be more careful in this operation, in case the Russians do not strictly fulfill the agreement, in order to grab resources, it is likely that they will do everything, and there is a great possibility of conflict below." The military doctor reminded those present.
"Who are they leading this time? FSB, or Alpha or Semaphore? Lucas asked.
"There is no specific information, only one name, Ivanov, codenamed Fire Eagle, I have never been in contact with it, and I don't remember where I saw this person's information, it is completely unfamiliar, but it is definitely not small to be able to participate in this kind of operation." The medic said.
"Fire Eagle? The turkey is pretty much the same! "I haven't heard of it, I should rarely participate in external operations, so I didn't leave a name, of course, it is also possible that he used a substitute identity when he was out of action, and he attaches great importance to self-protection, and is low-key enough, so no one notices, and the other possibility is that the name and code name itself are fake, so there is no way to compare." ”
"That's right, the Russians can't send me to let Fei come, we have to be careful to avoid conflict as much as possible, but we must not show weakness." The medic said.
"It's a bit difficult to do what you want, you can't be too careful to avoid conflict, but you can't show weakness, you can only use your fists to prove your strength, so it's too contradictory." Heavy Punch felt that his request was a bit excessive.
"Worried about what? It's not for us. The worm slanted at him, "We don't have so many scruples, who dares to snatch something from me?" I'm going to kill him!" ”
Again, cooperation is the main premise, but there is really no compromise on the issue of technical data, of course, you can copy it for data sharing, but who doesn't want to monopolize these things? Each has its own abilities, right? If you have the ability, you can take it out, anyway, the interests are paramount, who gets it? When the time comes, it will depend on whose strength is stronger. The military doctor's words were very clear, and he was hinting that he would definitely not be soft on the issue of snatching technical information.
Three hours later, the submarine arrived at the intended sea area, they left the submarine through the torpedo tubes, remembering that the underwater thrusters continued to the target site.
The water temperature in this sea area is extremely low, most of the time it is close to 0 degrees, the further north it is, the colder it is, at least 200 days a year, the temperature is below minus 20 degrees, and most of the time the wind and snow are raging, blizzards are almost the norm of weather, here is like a place forgotten by the heavens, except for the cold, it is still cold.
Despite the use of a very modern, diving heating system, you can still feel a chill coming in from the outside of the suit.
The speed of the underwater thruster is very fast, but this is only reflected in the advanced speedometer, there is darkness all around, they can hardly feel that they are moving, they can only judge the direction through the fluorescent mark on the head of the team members in front of the team, use the feedback signal on the equipment to judge the speed of the distance, adjust the speed in a timely manner, try to maintain the formation, to avoid falling behind, falling behind in this kind of place, basically equivalent to being buried in the sea, in the dark, if you lose your sense of direction, completely lost, basically there is no possibility to get it back.
The pitch-black ocean is like an infinite universe, up and down, left and right, and the whole person is like hanging in the air, except for his own breathing core jump, he can't hear anything.
This feeling seems to stretch the time infinitely, I thought it had been a long time, but when I looked at the time, I found that it was only a few minutes, but almost everyone had a similar experience, and it was nothing new for them to sneak into a secret mission, and this was not the first time, so basically everyone could still endure this kind of torture.
Suddenly, the line in front stopped, and the person behind was unknown, and at this moment, the voice of the military doctor suddenly came from the earphones: "There are sharks." ”
Everyone's hearts sank, why did you encounter a shark in this situation? The people behind slowly followed, and sure enough, they saw a behemoth swimming slowly not very far away, and at first they couldn't see what it was, but after a while, they saw that it was a huge Greenland sleeping shark, this thing was huge, it is said that the largest can grow to more than seven meters long, this thing moves slowly, but it is one of the most ferocious sharks in the world, extremely good at hunting, from fish, seals to polar bears, there is nothing it does not eat, and some people have even found humans, horses, and The remains of brown bears and reindeer, I really don't know how this thing hunts these things, which also reflects how wide the range of this shark hunts, this thing can dive to 1200 meters below the sea water to move, and often appears in extremely low temperature water, slow like a frozen old man, perhaps many times the hunter is deceived because of its slow moving speed, and he voluntarily sent it to the door, becoming its belly food.
The medic waved his hand in one direction, motioning for everyone to go around, this thing is extremely dangerous, the farther away the better.
The team began to turn, but it didn't take long for them to find another one, so they had to turn again, almost zigzag, and about half an hour, they came across a third one, how could so many sharks suddenly appear, there was no way, they had to continue to dive underwater, further reduce the depth, and get around these behemoths, no one wanted to be a meal for this thing.
"Why are there so many sharks?" Someone asked in the headset that the underwater communication worked not bad, there was not so much noise.
"It's rare to see these things here, I really don't know where they came from, they can live for more than 400 years, so it's possible to appear anywhere in the world, they can't die anyway, they eat all the way, it's not difficult for them to travel around the world, anyway, 75% of the world is the sea, as long as they feel comfortable, they can live anywhere." Someone said.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here." The medic interrupted their small talk.
"Another one appeared, it's really strange, are they here for a tour?" The spearhead in front reported.
"Just get out of the way." The military doctor is also very helpless, but fortunately in this sea, he can go in any direction, not limited to a certain area or a certain route.
"Do you think these fish-killing guys are too big? Each one is more than six or seven meters, and the largest one will grow so big! Why are we all so big? Could it be? Growing like this, has it become the normal state of this shark? Is their average length that long? It's still big, and they're all here! "The ghost thought it was strange.
"What do you want to say?" Punch didn't know what he was trying to say, so he asked.
"Could it be a pet from the Clock Tower? They're playing with genes, so it's not too difficult to modify some sharks, right? The ghost said.
"You mean, it's their watchdog?" Worm probably understood what he was trying to say.
"That's a fitting description." The ghost approving, "Is it their pet?" Put it outside to prevent anyone from messing around? ”
"Is that possible?" The medic felt that this speculation was too subjective.
"Now who knows? Let's go in and see! "Heavy Punch doesn't feel like there's any point in dwelling on this, it's better to get inside as soon as possible, at least to find out what's going on inside, and then think about what to do next.
"Keep going." The military doctor felt that he had a point.
The team continued to move forward, the speed was not particularly fast, after encountering the shark, they were a lot more cautious, the effect of night vision equipment underwater is not as good as on land, it is more affected by the permeability of seawater, so the visual distance is not so far, plus there may be danger in all directions, so it is more energy-consuming to observe than on land, who knows if the shark will suddenly rush down from above? Or does it come out from under your feet?
Whatever? They finally have a directional progress, at least they have completed nearly half of the journey, although they are in trouble, but they are also peaceful, the sharks did not attack them, this is stronger than anything, the process of stealth is quite long, it can even be called a kind of torment, the darkness and boundlessness under the water have formed a huge psychological pressure, they rely on communication equipment to communicate with each other, distraction to relieve pressure to a certain extent.
After nearly an hour of underwater diving, through cave systems and reef groups, they finally approached their destination, a huge harbor hidden underwater, and at the bottom of the sea, close to the harbor, they saw a large number of anti-frogman nets, layer upon layer, piece after piece, obviously' Although it is unlikely that someone will infiltrate in this cold seawater, they have made corresponding arrangements for insurance, in addition to the anti-frogman net, there are also a large number of small mines, all of which are prepared for possible frogmen like them. After passing through these anti-frogman nets, they can really get close to the location of the port.
The ghost carefully observed the anti-frogman nets, and then drilled through from below, which was nothing to him at all, to be honest, he really didn't do this kind of thing, and it wasn't the first time he had dealt with this thing, so he had long been accustomed to it, although it was dangerous, but he had extremely rich experience in dealing with it.
But this thing is really a waste of time, the whole team took nearly an hour to pass through this defensive area, the front is the port, close to the semi-potential underwater submarines, there are actually as many as four, all of them are large submarines with a length of more than 100 meters, what surprises them even more is that there is a suspected nuclear-powered submarine among them, is the 'clock tower' already powerful to this point? This is not very exciting news, if the 'Clock Tower' has nuclear weapons, then this job is really not easy to do, in case the 'Clock Tower' is attacked, want to make a fish to the net and destroy the net directly, and directly nuclear explosion here, none of them want to leave, this is still the most ideal result, once they release this missile, no matter where it flies, it will definitely be an irreparable disaster.
"We were almost ten minutes behind schedule, and we got the time back as soon as possible." The medic said in his headset that they had indeed wasted some time trying to deal with the anti-frogman net.
They followed the fish side needle on the pier, all the way to the most hidden place, climbed up the diving ladder, after getting out of the water, the buoyancy disappeared, and the body was much heavier, the feeling was not very pleasant, the man of the military doctor climbed up and established a defensive position first, and the others followed one after another, took out the weapon from the waterproof bag, and stared around.
A few minutes later, the military doctor made contact with Fire Eagle, and sure enough, Fire Eagle and his men had already arrived first, and were waiting for them in the cargo compartment less than 100 meters away from them.
Some people pushed forward along the side of the dock, a large number of materials were piled up on the dock, it should have just arrived, and they had not had time to put them into storage, I really don't know how long they used the submarine to use these things to get back, this thing is not the best means of transportation except for concealment, not to mention anything else, the cost of transportation alone is frighteningly high.
It may be because of the night, there are not many people here, but without exception, these people are basically carrying guns, I don't know if it is normalized, or if they find danger.
They avoided the people and guards who were moving here and went to the warehouse at the innermost part of the docks, where they finally met Fire Eagle and his men.
"Welcome to the Bering Strait." The Fire Eagle took on a master's posture and looked at them.
"How's it going over here?" The ghost didn't have time to be polite to him.
"There are more guards than expected, the route problem has not been finally resolved, according to the early structural diagrams, we should be in the innermost harbor of the base, and if all goes well, we can do it inside and give him a nest to blossom." Fire Eagle said, "The area here is very large, the specific situation is not clear, after the transformation, it is likely to be very different from the original structural drawing, everything is random, we have got the guard's clothes, change them as soon as possible, we are going to sneak in." ”
"It's fast enough, when did you get it?" The ghost thought it was strange that these guys should have arrived not long before them.
"There's a material reserve here, and there's a lot of spare stuff inside, including some clothes, and I chose some of the same ones that the people who are active here wear and took some of them." Fire Eagle said.
