Chapter 138: Under the Glacier
Chen Mo looked at the data displayed on the tablet in his hand, the thickness of the ice, the depth of the plane's sinking, and the damage to the aircraft's fuselage were all clearly displayed on it.
After grasping the situation of the Valkyrie Goddess, Chen Mo directly put the tablet into the space, turned around and walked towards the ice cliff at the junction of the ice field and the sea.
"You go back first, everything goes according to plan."
Chen Mo said as he walked forward.
"Yes! Sir! ”
John immediately stepped forward and replied.
Under his gaze, Chen Mo strode to the ice cliff, glanced at the sea surface scattered with a large amount of ice floes below, and then jumped directly forward, jumping off the ice cliff more than twenty meters high.
"Poof!"
Chen Mo's falling body accurately avoided the scattered ice floe and fell into the icy water, splashing a high wave.
Witnessing Chen Mo jumping off the ice cliff, John's dark color did not change at all, and he directly followed Chen Mo's order and turned back to board the fighter.
The open cockpit shield slowly closed, and the engine of the Hydra fighter jet once again spewed out a light blue flame, and the snow on the ground was blown up by the strong air current, flying all over the sky.
The Hydra fighter slowly left the ground and began to accelerate into the air, quickly rising to a height of tens of meters, and turned the nose of the plane to face the direction it came.
Then, the propulsion propeller on the tail of the fighter slowly rotated backwards, and at the same time spewed out more intense flames, propelling the fighter to accelerate forward, and soon flew into the sky and disappeared.
At this time, Chen Mo, who fell into the sea, was continuing to dive down along the ice cliff.
Beneath the sea, the huge blue glacier stretches like a majestic giant wall on both sides, blocking the sea from the ice wall.
The bottom of the ice wall stretched to the depths of the seabed, and Chen Mo dived along the ice for nearly twenty meters before finally reaching the bottom of the ice.
Stopping the dive, Chen Mo turned around and went downstream towards the ice sheet, under the ice sheet, it was like being in an upside-down world, the craggy ice surface was like a rugged land, occupying Chen Mo's entire field of vision, and there was no end in sight at a glance.
Chen Mo's body was like a swimming fish, moving through the seawater, swimming towards the depths of the ice sheet at a very fast speed.
In fact, for ordinary people, Chen Mo's actions at this time were very dangerous.
The ice sheet above his head is tens of meters thick, and it is impossible to float directly out of the sea, and if you want to breathe out of the water, you can only return the same way, so the deeper you go under the ice sheet, the greater the danger.
Not only is the distance increasing, but the world under the ice is monotonous and vast, there is no reference to indicate the direction, it is easy to get lost underwater, and when you want to withdraw, you find that you can't find the direction to go back, but swim farther and farther until you run out of oxygen, and you suffocate underwater.
Even if you don't get lost, you must return in time when you have enough oxygen, and if you go too deep into the ice sheet, you may not be able to make it until you don't have enough oxygen to return, and you will suffocate on the way back.
However, Chen Mo had already prepared for this, not to mention his own strong physical fitness, which was enough to support his long-term underwater activities, and enough oxygen cylinders were specially prepared in the space to ensure that he had sufficient oxygen supply.
After swimming a few hundred meters under the ice sheet, the same scene finally changed, and a large black metal body appeared in front of Chen Mo's eyes.
"Valkyrie!"
At the beginning, Chen Mo drove the Valkyrie Goddess to crash near the glacier and sank into the sea, where it was frozen in the ice.
It's just that it's not completely wrapped in ice, as Chen Mo saw at this moment, a huge, more than thirty-meter-long wing stretched out diagonally from the ice sheet above, obliquely inserted into the sea water below.
This is part of the massive wing of the Valkyrie.
After discovering the target, Chen Mo swam directly towards the wing.
After swimming around the huge wings of a tall building, Chen Mo soon found a broken hole under the wing.
Taking out a waterproof and strong flashlight from the space, Chen Mo turned on the switch, and a bright and dazzling beam of light shot out from the flashlight, instantly making the originally slightly dim space much brighter.
Immediately, without any hesitation, Chen Mo swam directly to this hole and drilled into it from here.
The interior of the pitch-black plane was illuminated by the beam of light emitted by the strong flashlight, and Chen Mo could clearly see the scene ahead.
The inside of the wings has been filled with seawater, and huge steel skeletons crisscross and support the wings.
Chen Mo passed through the sturdy steel skeleton, entered the interior of the plane, and swam along the passage in the direction of the cabin above.
Soon, Chen Mo was blocked by an ice wall, and above this ice wall was the engine room of the Valkyrie Goddess.
The way was blocked, and Chen Mo had to stop temporarily.
At this time, several minutes had passed since Chen Mo jumped into the sea, although he did not feel hypoxic, he could still continue to hold on for a while, Chen Mo still took out the oxygen cylinder from the space and replenished the oxygen in his body.
Putting away the oxygen cylinder, Chen Mo looked up at the ice layer above again, and at the same time stretched his right hand forward, and the sword of the king instantly appeared in his hand.
Next, Chen Mo began to chisel the ice, under the extremely sharp sword of the king, the hard ice was cut off in large chunks like tofu, and then it was included in the space by Chen Mo, and soon dug out a passage with a diameter of more than one meter, and continued to go deeper and deeper towards the top of the ice.
The thickness of the ice inside the Valkyrie Goddess was very deep, and Chen Mo had been digging up for nearly ten meters before finally reaching the end.
As Chen Mo's last sword cut down a large piece of ice, the passage finally broke through, but on top of this thick layer of ice, there was no seawater.
When the Valkyrie sank into the sea, the overall tightness was not too damaged, and the seawater poured into the aircraft from the damaged parts such as the wings, but instead of filling the entire aircraft, an air chamber was formed in the upper cabin.
Later, after the plane was frozen in the ice, the seawater under the air chamber froze, forming the ice wall that Chen Mo had just encountered, completely sealing the cabin part.
Seeing that the passage was opened, Chen Mo put away the king's sword, climbed up from the hole, and entered the interior of the cabin.
The light of the strong flashlight illuminated the interior of the cabin, Chen Mo carefully looked around, and after confirming his position, he stepped on the smooth ice under his feet and walked in one direction.
Coming to the edge of the ice, what appeared in front of Chen Mo was a slope of nearly 30 degrees, which was the original ground of the cabin, but because the plane sank into the sea, the fuselage tilted, one wing was cocked, and the other side was sinking, so the ground inside the cabin also formed a slope of about 30 degrees.
It has been frozen in the sea for seventy years, and there is a thick layer of ice on the bulkhead and the ground, coupled with the slope caused by the tilt of the aircraft, it is not easy to walk, but it is not difficult for Chen Mo, who is agile.
But instead of going straight ahead, he stopped in front of the slope.
Taking off the soaked combat uniform on his body and putting it into space, Chen Mo changed into an Edelman alloy armor and a set of black combat clothes with battle marks, and put on the original M1911 pistol, vibranium shield and other equipment, completely restoring to the state when he left.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Chen Mo stepped onto the slope and walked along the passage towards the Valkyrie's aircraft control room.
The icy and sloping ground still affected Chen Mo's travel speed, and it took a few minutes for Chen Mo to finally reach the control room.
There was not much difference from the scene when he came all the way just now, the entire control room of the plane was also completely covered in frost, and the trap set by Baron Straker to trap him was still there, but the original steel cage had become an ice cage at this time, and the several sections of steel pillars that he had cut off were also frozen on the ground.
After looking at the familiar and unfamiliar environment, Chen Mo cautiously came to the console.
The wide driver's seat was also covered with a thick layer of frost at this time.
Chen Mo cleaned all the frost on the seat into the space, and then sat down.
Immediately after, Chen Mo took out a backpack-sized black box from the space and threw it into the air.
Flying in the air, one meter away from Chen Mo, a blue point of light suddenly lit up above the box, and then, its four corners quickly stretched outward, stretching out four arms.
As it stretched out, light blue flames began to erupt from below the ends of the four arms, propelling it smoothly into the air.
It turned out to be a small flying machine of the folding type.
After throwing out the aircraft, Chen Mo took out another tablet from the space and operated it.
The aircraft suspended in the air turned its direction under Chen Mo's manipulation, flew back along the route it had come, and soon returned to the top of the ice cave that Chen Mo had carned.
As Chen Mo gave the command, a scanning device slowly stretched out from under the aircraft, and a red light net was emitted from it and swept towards the ground below.
Then, a folded robotic arm stretched out from the front of the aircraft, and after the robotic arm was deployed, it reached out to the ice cave below.
Just a few minutes after Chen Mo left, the sea water in the ice cave began to freeze again, and at this time, a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface, just slightly lower than the original ice surface.
The aircraft's slender mechanical arm stretched out to the place where the thin ice met the ice surface, and the front end immediately began to spray a white cold air, which quickly condensed on its surface after touching the thin ice, causing its thickness to gradually increase, and soon it was flush with the ice surface next to it.
The robotic arm then moves around the ice cave and soon the entire ice cave is leveled to the surrounding ice surface.
But it didn't stop there, and then, the cold air from the front of the robotic arm changed, condensed into frost directly in the air, and sprinkled on the new ice surface.
By the time the aircraft finished repairing and flew to Chen Mo's footprints to start scanning, the ice cave just now had completely disappeared, and there was no trace on the surface.
