Chapter 156: Determining Coordinates

Mina Rashid Port is an important deep-water port in Dubai, located in the depths of the bay about three kilometers northeast of Dubai, not far from the Burj Al Arab Hotel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Minaramet Port has well-developed sea roads, which can lead to the surrounding major port countries, and the port has a large cargo throughput, making it the largest local freight center in Dubai.

"Look there, it's the ocean exploration ship on this search mission."

Before arriving at the port, under Yang Zhonglin's instructions, Yuan Haochen could already see from afar, and there were three giant ocean exploration ships moored side by side on the shore of the port.

Under the leadership of Yang Zhonglin and Huang Zizhu, Yuan Haochen got out of the car and directly boarded the ocean exploration ship through the special passage of the port.

"This ocean exploration ship is called Ghost 1, and the two ships on the side are Ghost 2 and 3." Yang Zhonglin enthusiastically introduced Yuan Haochen.

"Ghost! A name with a lot of personality. Yuan Haochen replied with some surprise.

"It means the ability to penetrate the depths of the ocean and continental shelf. The Ghost series of ocean exploration ships, with a length of 180 meters, a width of 58 meters, and a displacement of 90,974 tons, is a nuclear-powered vessel. Yang Zhonglin smiled and continued to introduce Yuan Haochen.

As soon as the three of them landed on the deck of the Spectre 1, they were greeted by a group of uniformed crew members.

Through the observation of the details of the crew's uniforms and the rank of the epaulettes, Yuan Haochen guessed that the middle-aged man led by him should be the captain of the ship.

"Director Yang, Chief Engineer Huang, you are back." The middle-aged man was dignified, with a wide voice, and his words were full of vitality.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is Dr. Yuan Chen, who we have been waiting for. This is Yao Cheng, the captain of the Ghost 1. Yang Zhonglin completed the work of threading the needle for everyone very skillfully at the first time.

"Nice to meet you."

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"

"Everyone, please go to the conference room on the ship first, and then we will talk slowly." After Captain Yao finished speaking, he led the way for everyone in front.

"This way, please."

Although the Ghost 1 cannot be compared with the giant ships in the world that reach a length of three or four hundred meters, it is not small.

Therefore, the supporting facilities on the Ghost 1 ship are naturally very complete, and the conference room is also very large and spacious.

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Yuan found that the electronic screen on the front wall was showing a topographical map of the entire Persian Gulf region.

When everyone sat down one after another, the first working meeting of the alien technology search project team began.

"According to the plan, the entire search and excavation project will be divided into three phases. The first stage is to determine the location of the target; In the second stage, the excavation plan is formulated; The third stage is excavation! Finally, the target will be safely handed over to the Pacific base. ”

Yang Zhonglin first gave Yuan Haochen a brief introduction to the entire plan.

"Understood!" Yuan Haochen nodded.

Search and excavation, this matter is not complicated in terms of content, but the difficulty of the work is how to determine the target, and then how to go deep into the bottom of the bay and dig out the huge target intact. You must know that the diameter of one dome space of the [Source of Creation] has reached more than 300 meters.

At present, the first task of the search and excavation project team is to find the target as soon as possible.

As for how to develop an excavation plan, it will involve more practical problems.

First, the excavation plan must be formulated in combination with the actual situation of the target burial;

second, the scheme for the construction of offshore engineering operation platforms;

Third, if there is a big fight in the Persian Gulf, it must also get more support and help from the local government. (In the first phase of the search, the top management of the alliance has communicated and filed with the Dubai government).

"Dr. Hara, as you can see, the first phase of preparations has been completed, and we are ready to march towards the Persian Gulf."

"When I came, I already heard that you were already ready for everything, and you only owe the east wind!"

"Haha, without the east wind, Zhou Yu can't burn Cao Cao's 800,000 sailors, and without you, we can only be a headless fly in this Persian Gulf."

"You're serious." Yuan Haochen waved his hand.

"Can I first look at the topographical map of the entire Persian Gulf?"

"Absolutely!"

"I need the most accurate scale!" Yuan Haochen emphasized.

"Of course."

As Yang Zhonglin spoke, he arranged for the people below to control the computer and present the most accurate topographic map of the Persian Gulf on the giant screen in the conference room.

Yuan Haochen got up and walked to the front of the electronic screen, looking up at the screen slightly, his eyes flowing quickly.

The Persian Gulf is a bay in the northwest of the Arabian Sea that extends into the Asian continent, between the Iranian Plateau and the Arabian Peninsula, from the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab River in the northwest to the Strait of Hormuz in the southeast, with a length of more than 970 kilometers, the widest point is 338 kilometers, an area of about 241,000 square kilometers, and the maximum water depth is 104 meters.

"As I recall, the location of the Source of Creation was under a sea near the southeast shore of the Persian Gulf, that is, to the west of Dubai."

At Yuan's request, the staff focused the topographic map of the Persian Gulf within 100 kilometers west of Dubai, and further improved the accuracy of the display.

Hara looked at the winding coastline on the electronic screen while trying his best to recall the details of the original trail of Genesis AI 8 to the Persian Gulf.

Fortunately, only 2,000 years have passed, and although it has been affected by human civilization activities, the coastline has not changed too drastically.

"Is there a topographical map of the ancient Persian Gulf?"

Yuan Haochen thought for a while, and then continued to ask.

"Coincidentally, there is a map made by the Turks in the early 14th century, but given the mapping techniques of that era, we cannot guarantee its accuracy."

Yang Zhonglin gave his advice seriously.

"Understood, please present it on the screen as well, and I will refer to it."

Soon, a rough ancient map was displayed on the screen.

"I suspect that before the 19th century, the terrain of the entire Persian Gulf did not change much. It has been more than 100 years since humans really started to influence this bay. ”

"Indeed, the UAE country has carried out a large-scale land reclamation campaign in the past century." Yang Zhonglin agreed.

"That's it."

With Yuan Haochen's ability to remember now, several maps have already been deeply engraved in his mind.

"Oh, is that okay? If you don't need to look at it for a while, we can also take a helicopter to see it on the ground......"

For Yuan Haochen's high efficiency, everyone present was quite shocked, and even had some doubts.

"Let me operate the computer." Yuan Haochen didn't say much, but put forward a request very firmly.

"No problem." After Yang Zhonglin finished speaking, he said to a young man beside him, "Xiao Wang, bring the computer." ”

After getting the computer, Yuan Haochen first established a coordinate system for the map.

He marked three coordinate points on the coastline that matched the memory information, and then took these three coordinates as the center of the circle, and entered the corresponding values in the coordinate system as the radius.

"Bang~" sounded

Yuan Haochen pressed the OK key on the keyboard, and soon on the map coordinate system, three circles of different sizes appeared at the same time.

Moreover, the arcs of these three circles have only one common intersection point.

This intersection is located 23.6° north-west of the port of Minararashid, 53 nautical miles (1 nautical mile = 1.852 km) off the ocean.
