"No, how could it not be?"

Yang Luo was stunned, after the first two corrections and calculations, he successfully found the target, why would the last target not be in the calculated position.

What went wrong?

"Report to the command center, the fourth target is missing, please confirm if it has been dropped?"

Yang Luo controlled the fighter to expand the search range, and after circling in the air, he still didn't find anything, so he had to report it.

"301, the command center confirms that all targets have been delivered." The commander replied, too, confused, frowning at the image presented on the big screen.

He had already asked the troops who put the target, and got a positive answer, and also determined that Yang Luo's calculation was not wrong, and as they calculated, he did find the location where the target should drift to, but why did he not see the target?

He didn't figure it out either.

Hearing the commander's answer, Yang Luo was even more confused, frowning and pondering, looking at the empty sea level, and asked tentatively, "Command center, do you say that it is possible, the target has sunk?" ”

"Impossible." The commander affirmed, "Even if the target is overturned by the wind and waves, it is impossible to sink, and it can still float on the sea." ”

"Where's the target?" Yang Luo asked.

In a word, the commander was speechless, and after a while, he said, "In this way, you look in the direction where the target should be drifting, and the specific data is being transmitted." ”

Even the command center couldn't find the target, so that's the only way.

Yang Luo clicked on the central multi-function display, and the data transmitted by the command center checked it carefully, and then turned the rudder and searched along the way.

The trajectory of the target drifting given by the command center is very complicated, it is not a straight line drifting, but going around and around, crossing many bends, which is very different from the trajectory of the drifting calculated by Yang Luo, but in the end, they all go to the same place.

After searching in reverse along the trajectory, after going around for more than ten minutes, an uninhabited island entered Yang Luo's eyes, and there was no name on the map, only a numerical code of 4531.

The island is small, about 600 square meters, and the sea is almost full of cliffs and rocks, and there is a low hillside with low bushes growing in the central area.

Flying 2,000 meters above the island, there is a small beach in sight, Yang Luo was stunned, his eyes were fixed on the beach, and there were three huge English letters on it

sos！

International emergency distress signals.

"Report to the command center, find an anomaly, find a 'SOS' distress signal on the beach of the uninhabited island number 4531, but no one is found on the island." After Yang Luo took a closer look, he called the command center through the radio communication that was always unobstructed and reported what he had discovered.

"301, please wait, an inquiry is underway." After hearing this, the commander had a serious face, arranged to verify the information, and stared at the magnified and clear image on the screen, and the word SOS was vaguely recognizable.

Not long after, a staff member reported that the relevant departments did not receive a distress message.

"301, the situation has been verified, the relevant departments have not received a distress signal, and they are now given a temporary task to lower the height to check the specific situation." The commander pressed the intercom button and gave instructions solemnly.

It may involve the safety of the lives of the masses, which is a big deal and cannot be ignored, in comparison, the task of finding a target is already irrelevant.

"301 Roger, lower altitude to check, over." Yang Luo's face was serious, and he took the task without hesitation.

Rudder steering, lever dive.

The 301 J-10C, which flew smoothly, crossed an arc, turned around 180 degrees, and returned to the sky above the island.

The altitude is continuously reduced, the airbrake opens, the flaps adjust the angle, and the speed is reduced.

"Boom!"

The roar of the aircraft engine gradually became louder and louder, and the speed of the 301 J-10C, which was reduced from 2000 meters in the air, did not increase, but decreased.

It wasn't until the height of 200 meters that Yang Luo pulled the rod out and circled over the island.

At this time, the speed is only 200 kilometers per hour, the angle of attack is 25 degrees, and the throttle valve is about to be pushed to the end.

Returning to the sky above the beach again, Yang Luo's eyes as sharp as an eagle stared at the beach, examining it carefully and making a judgment in his heart.

"Report to the command center, No. 4531 There are traces of human activity on the uninhabited island, a fire was found, and the distress signal was confirmed to be newly issued, but no human figure was found, and it is suspected that it has left." Yang Luo reported his findings and judgments.

Didn't find a figure?

The commander frowned and asked, "Can you tell how long you have been gone?" ”

"Command center, when was the last tide?" Yang Luo thought for a moment and asked.

After inquiring about it, the commander said, "The most recent full tide was at half past three in the morning, the dry tide was at half past nine in the morning, and the next full tide was around half past three in the afternoon. ”

"That is, the tide is rising now, but it has not yet risen to the highest position."

"Yes."

Yang Luo knew it in his heart, lowered the height of the pressure bar to 100 meters, and swept over the beach, his eyes had already seen the footprints and other traces left on the beach in a flash.

After pulling up the climbing height, Yang Luo said solemnly, "Report to the command center, the footprints on the beach are very clear, and they are not covered by the sea water at full tide, so it should be judged that the time of his departure should be this morning." ”

"This morning?" The commander was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses and said, "Since yesterday, this area has been designated as a military restricted area, and there is no possibility of ship activity, how did they leave?" ”

"I found a relatively wide trail mark, and I highly suspect that it was left by the trapped people's homemade rafts and other escape equipment." Yang Luo's eyes stared at the direction of the continental shelf, and he said worriedly.

The island is 110 nautical miles, or 20,372 kilometers, from the mainland.

With such a long distance, it is undoubtedly difficult to return to land on a raft alone, and it is full of dangers.

When the sea is calm, it seems that autumn is not offended, and there is not much danger. However, it is moody, turning its face faster than turning a book, one second it is still calm, the next second it may be raging, extremely dangerous.

"301, you immediately search in the direction where you may leave, be sure to find the person who sent the distress signal, and I will immediately contact the helicopter of Hainan Airlines to take off." The commander immediately made a decision and gave new instructions to Yang Luo.

"301 received, guaranteed to complete the task." Yang Luo said, and his hands and feet immediately operated.

Push the throttle valve, push the rudder to steer, and pull the rod to climb.

The nose of the 301 J-10C hovering at low altitude was raised, and it accelerated to an altitude of 1,000 meters, and then changed to level flight, flying at high speed in the direction of land.
