Chapter 588: Return to Base
On a strangely shaped plane, the members of the first and second teams of the Dragon Soul sat face-to-face in their respective positions.
Ben and his face were full of curiosity, because this was the first time they had seen such an airplane.
The shape of the RAG-1 helicopter gunship is indeed very different from the existing aircraft, and as a fixed-wing aircraft, it can take off and land directly on the spot, which is still very rare among existing aircraft.
The RAG-1 gunship has a pair of spherical turrets on its open wings, which are small beam-ray weapons, and between the turret and fuselage, a pair of turbine engines that allow the fighter to take off and land vertically, hover, and control balance.
In the upper part of the fuselage are two jet engines that propel the RAG-1 gunship at supersonic speeds, which is not comparable to any existing helicopter.
In general, the RAG-1 gunship is almost the same as a real-life fighter, and the RAG-1 gunship is more versatile than that.
The reason for this is that in the era of the mysterious empire when the RAG-1 helicopter gunship was invented, their weapons of war were already oriented to space, and combat weapons such as the RAG-1 helicopter gunship aimed at the lower stratosphere were already the product of a fusion of various aircraft.
Just when the members of the second squad were still amazed, Lin Dong, who was piloting the plane in front, had already seen the location of the base.
"We're here and ready to land!"
"Damn, so fast?"
Ben couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
He felt that he would only be on the plane for no more than twenty minutes at most!
In the Dragon Soul base, on the dedicated helicopter lifting platform, Sophie was already standing there.
This lift platform is different from the temporary airport, this lift platform is composed of a large lift, which can directly transport the aircraft parked on it to the underground equipment warehouse.
It is not allowed to be used in normal times, because this is the case.
After getting off the plane, everyone greeted Sophie.
Sophie's gaze lingered on the Sanming wounded of the second squad, especially Morris, who had a broken arm.
For so long, Clay and Mouse's injuries were almost healed, only Morris, whose broken arm affected him too much, far more than a mouse who was shot in the head.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first, I've been outside for so long, although I haven't fought for a while, I haven't been back to my place at ease."
After sending everyone away, Lin Dong and Sophie came directly to the underground command center.
"What is the situation in such a hurry?"
Entering the command room, Lin Dong asked a little impatiently.
"Long Yi, let's introduce what happened first." Sophie said to Ryuichi in the virtual image.
"Okay."
"Here's the thing, head of the regiment, please watch a video first."
As he spoke, an image began to appear on the big screen.
In the blue sky, a C-130J "Hercules" transport plane, below is the sparkling sea.
C-130J "Hercules", this is by far the most impressive upgraded version of the transport aircraft.
It features a flawless cockpit with a multi-function display, a six-blade propeller driven by a new generation of Allison/Rolls-Royce turboprop engines, and a number of improvements to the system to reduce manual handling.
Despite this, Lin Dong was still a little puzzled, what was such a plane for?
However, he didn't say much, since Sophie and Ryuichi both let him see this image, then it would definitely not be untargeted.
However, just as the image was about one minute and twelve seconds, the "Hercules", which was flying smoothly, suddenly shook.
Originally, Lin Dong hadn't paid attention to it, thinking that it was just an ordinary encounter with air turbulence, and this phenomenon was not uncommon in high-altitude flight.
However, what Lin Dong didn't expect was that in the next less than a minute, the entire plane suddenly began to vibrate continuously, which even affected the normal flight of the aircraft.
Lin Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, this could no longer be blamed on the turbulence of the air, and Lin Dong found that the body of the plane was slightly deformed.
"It's ......"
Before Lin Dong could guess the reason, the entire plane suddenly exploded violently, and a big hole appeared not far from the left wing of Hercules.
The explosion just now blew the body through!
"It's over, this plane is going to disintegrate!"
With this level of damage, the plane would definitely not last five minutes in a high-speed flight.
Just after Lin Dong made a judgment, "Hercules" fell directly into the ground.
Billowing smoke came out of the explosion, and Lin Dong could even see where soldiers were sucked out of the air and then made a free fall in the air.
"Stop!"
Ryuichi abruptly stopped playing the video.
"Captain, look."
As he spoke, where the picture stopped, Long Yi kept zooming in on the picture, focusing on the big hole with thick smoke.
As I zoom in, the picture is starting to be a little less clear, and this image should be taken from a satellite, which is very good to be able to achieve this level.
"As I continue to enlarge the image, and continue to do clear processing, you see, Captain, this is the information we get!"
Lin Dong's pupils shrank suddenly, because what appeared in front of him was a blood-red eye.
It's just that what shocked Lin Dong was that this eye was a little too big!
"According to our comparative analysis, to be able to have such a large eye, then its owner is at least between eight and twelve meters. It's just that with this eye alone, we can't be sure what the body of this giant beast is. ”
"Behemoth, isn't this similar to the giant gorilla you showed me earlier, could it be that these Americans have already caught these behemoths?"
"It shouldn't be the same event, but it's definitely connected."
Ryuichi said.
"The plane took off in the South Pacific Ocean, the exact location is not known, and the direction in which it is heading, according to predictions, should be South America."
"The destination matches the location in the last footage."
Lin Dong nodded,
"So, the new mission you're talking about this time has something to do with the crashed plane and the nameless beast on it?"
Long Yi nodded directly.
"Yes, this is an employment application from Huaxia, they hope that the head of the regiment you can personally take someone to the place where the plane crashed, find the unknown giant beast, and bring back its genetic sample!"
"Where is the place where the plane crashed? If it falls in the sea, then even if you rush over now, you probably won't find anything. ”
"Don't worry, the plane crashed on an island in the South Pacific. However, there are many countries and organizations that are concerned about this incident, so we hope that you can go immediately! ”
