"Our broadside sonar is state-of-the-art, and there will certainly be no problems." The sonar officer said that he was from a hydrographic survey company, and on the screen, the shape of the seabed could be clearly displayed, and the stones were clearly visible, and if it was a fighter plane, it could be shown clearly, and it would never be wrong.

"We have followed the direction of the ocean current and continued to look ahead, but there is still no harvest." Major Sargent said: "According to our estimates, it is impossible for the current to push the plane too far, that is, there is only one situation in which we are looking in the wrong direction. ”

What if the plane did not come down with the current, but against the current?

This idea made the rest of the people silent, unless there was something strange under the seabed, how could they go against the current? However, in the current situation, it is true that nothing has been found in the stream.

"Okay, let's go against the current." Others agreed, what else?

At this moment, a big wave hit, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, Sargent's face was very serious, his ship came all the way, there was no supply, now, search for a few more days, if you really can't find it, you can only go back to the base, complete the supply and come again.

Now, as time goes by, the cold snap from the Arctic will gradually affect the climate here, and the bad sea conditions will make salvage more difficult.

Time passed little by little, and in the middle of the night, suddenly, the sonar man let out an exclamation: "Found it, found it!" ”

The screen showed the appearance of an airplane, this plane was upside down in the sea, motionless, and sure enough, it went up the current and found it, what is going on?

"Quick, get ready for salvage operations." Sargent said happily.

Salvage operations? When he heard Sargent's words, the assistant on the side was stunned: "Major, how can we salvage?" ”

How to salvage, this is also a technical problem, after all, it is at a depth of less than one thousand meters, personnel diving is not so deep, can only use the diving bell, but the diving bell does not have a mechanical arm, can not hang the rope to the aircraft, then can not fish out the aircraft.

In the last few days, they have been thinking about how to find the target, and now after discovering it, how to salvage the hairstyle is also a problem.

Major Sargent looked at another salvage ship not far away, and an idea came to his mind.

They are the US Navy's own ocean-going tugboat, which is here to salvage, and at the same time, the US Navy has hired a Norwegian salvage ship "Builder", which only arrived in the nearby waters yesterday and is almost waiting on the sidelines so as not to interfere with their underwater sonar search operations.

"There's no diving equipment on that boat." The assistant said.

"Yes, we don't have deep diving equipment, but we do have our own brains." Major Sargent said, "Now, let's start our salvage in earnest, and the first step is to throw our ropes over and to the boat opposite. ”

As an ocean-going tugboat, the Sakeri was not short of ropes, and now, with the order of Major Sargent, the Sakori began to greet the Builder, and the Builder started its engines and slowly came over.

The wind and waves at sea were a little strong, and the two ships were slowly approaching, and when there were still more than ten meters away, it was already very dangerous, and the crane at the tail of the Sakory slowly stretched out the boom, and then put the hook down, and in this way, the rope on the hook was easily transferred to the tail of the builder on the opposite side.

"Release the rope, three thousand meters long." Sargent said.

The huge roulette wheel at the tail was spinning, and the ropes wrapped around it fell in circles and into the water, five hundred meters, a thousand meters, two thousand meters, and when it reached two thousand five hundred meters, it was almost the end.

"Two boats, open a distance of 200 meters, and slowly move over." Sargent continued.

At this time, the others had already understood Sargent's train of thought, and they couldn't help but admire, the major was really smart enough to come up with such a solution!

The rope continued to descend, and at the same time, the two ships were also distancing, and the rope was pulled to the bottom of the sea.

Now, move forward slowly!

Two ships, dragging ropes, moved forward at a speed of 2 knots, and at the bottom of the sea under a thousand meters, this thick rope, dragged on the bottom of the sea, fought with the ancient cavalry, two cavalry joined forces, dragged on the ground like an iron chain, ran forward, everywhere they went, everyone would trip over the iron chain.

Now, the rope is dragging and dragging forward on the bottom of the sea, and constantly encountering things along the way.

A rock on the bottom of the sea blocked the way of the ropes, and in an instant, black smoke came out of the engines of the two tugboats, and there was a slight sense of drag on the hull, and then disappeared again.

The stone was dragged by the rope and turned around twice, and the rope passed, and the two boats on the sea, with considerable horsepower, were definitely not comparable to the tattered Soviet trawlers.

The two tugboats continued to move forward, forward, and at the same time, the sonar crew was constantly looking at their sonar: "Attention, it's coming soon, slow down!" ”

The boat drove more slowly, like a snail crawling, and the sonarist's invincible sonar was actually able to show the rope, and he watched the rope approach the target little by little, approached, and then shouted: "Stop, it's okay!" ”

"Can't stop, let the Builder, circle us." Sargent said.

Stop now, it's useless, it's the same as dragging the stone just now, it fell off in two clicks, if you want to drag the target steadily, you have to wrap the rope on it a few more times, and after wrapping it, you can drag it back, it's as simple as that!

With Sargent's order, the Builder began to turn slowly, and around the target in the middle, the rope followed suit, and when the Builder circled the Sakhry, it was completed in one circle, and then again.

After two laps, Sargent felt that it was almost there, and now, it was only left to drag it back!

The two boats were once again side by side, moving together, the sonar crew watching the screen closely.

With the force of the two ships, the fighter below was also being towed away, one meter, another meter, just dragged more than ten meters, and suddenly, there was a bang.

The rope actually came loose?

The dragged fighter fell down again, and the force of the fall was not very great due to the resistance of the water, and on the display of the sonar, the target had been divided into two parts.

It's not good, it's actually dragged off!
