By the time Aoki and the others entered the bridge, Ivan and Boris had removed Lieutenant Colonel Halsey's body, and the chair he was sitting on had collapsed. There was some dust on the ground, presumably from Halsey's clothes.

Cotton officer uniforms will lose their flexibility and become brittle after being stored for a long time, and slowly degrade into a small molecule state. The special environment in the deep well of time and space maintained its surface untouched, and when ejected from the deep well, air and sunlight caused a large number of fragile chemical bonds in the cellulose to break, turning into powder at the touch of it. One can imagine what Boris saw, probably the most peculiar corpse he had ever disposed of.

Everyone carefully inspected the contents of the room, and most of them were still very solid, including the command platform and table. Food other than the fish that was still drying on the deck was moved indoors to prevent it from spoiling under the scorching sun.

By this time, Anderson's fish was almost grilled, so he brought it in. They used their sabers to pack the peeled fruit in cleaned fruit bowls and cups, which were last found in the dormitory cabins of officers and soldiers.

People began to enjoy fragrant fish and fresh fruits, and the deliciousness made people forget the troubles caused by the current predicament, and even the coal boss, who had always been talkative, did not say a word, and hid in the corner with Ran to feast.

After eating, people fell asleep. They were so tired that it was as if they hadn't slept for days and nights.

I don't know how long I slept, Boris's loud voice suddenly sounded, like a thunder in the cabin:

"Redbeard! Anderson! Guess what we found?! ”

The people were woken up by his voice, and Petru scolded: "What are you shouting about, we are not deaf!" ”

Situ pointed to the remaining food on the side and said, "Why did you take so long to dispose of a corpse?" I'll keep it for you, and eat it." ”

"Ah, it's nothing, it's dark and big down there, and it's a bit lost." Boris's stomach growled, and he sat down and ate it in large gulps.

"What about Ivan?" Situ asked, "What did you find?" ”

"See that Apache on deck?" Boris looked out the window as he ate, and from the window he could see the Apache's wings.

"The blind can't see it, it's just a pile of scrap metal!" Petru said.

Boris said: "Have you forgotten that the frigate Swordfish is equipped with two Apaches, and there is one parked in the hangar!" ”

"So what, after a thousand years, a hundred of them won't work."

"No, no, you're wrong! You may not believe it, but the one in the hangar is brand new, as if it had just been driven out of the San Diego base. ”

Seeing Petru's look of disbelief, Boris added, "Really, Ivan found out, and you should always believe his words." Unfortunately, the plane's fuel tank was empty, and Ivan went to look for it in another cabin to see if he could find fuel. ”

"Fuel oil has a very short shelf life, and even if they fall into a deep well and encounter an oxygen-free environment, it will not be able to last for thousands of years. Moreover, the people on board used up all their energy while they were alive, and it was impossible to keep it if there was still fuel. Situ said.

Boris was a little discouraged when he heard this, and he shoved a piece of fish meat into his mouth fiercely, and said inarticulately: "It's a new helicopter anyway, a new one!" ”

Ivan returned, and he proved that Boris was not lying.

"The helicopter is indeed new, except that there is no fuel." He said.

"Why is this happening?" Petru wondered, "Is there anything new on the ship that we haven't discovered?" ”

"It shouldn't be, plus last time and this time, most of the cabins we have seen, they are all old and unusable, only the helicopter hangar is very special, its inner deck has no signs of aging, and it has not been subjected to any corrosion, and the whole hangar looks like new, including the contents inside."

After Ivan finished speaking, he sat down calmly to eat.

Su Huilan asked Situ, "Didn't this ship fall into the space-time static zone?" Why is this happening? ”

Situ said: "It's hard to say, the space-time stationary zone is just a theory, except for the dead officers and soldiers on the Swordfish and Ronald Cohen, no one has experienced it, and any accident is possible." But it's really strange......"

He thought for a moment and said, "If you compare the space-time stationary zone to a special bubble in space, there may be many small bubbles in this big bubble, and the space-time properties of each bubble may be different. ”

"Are you saying that the ship fell into the large bubble of the Space-Time Static Zone, and then there was a small bubble that was not part of the Static Zone that happened to cover one of the cabins on the ship?"

Aoki thought it was incredulous, "Doesn't that mean that Ronald Cohen can meet us alive as long as he hides in the helicopter hangar?" ”

"Theoretically, that's so."

Su Hui Lanqi said: "Then why are they all dead?" Didn't anyone find out about this? ”

"That's where I wonder." "It would have been fine if no one had been to the hangar, but the fuel in the helicopter mailbox was gone, and it was obviously taken away." It's normal, they need energy and don't miss a drop of fuel. But since someone has come in, it stands to reason that they should be able to detect the anomaly in the hangar. ”

Alice said, "Maybe just send a regular soldier to fetch fuel. They don't have the mental power of you, and the traces of time are not as obvious as we see at that time. ”

Situ nodded and said, "There is a possibility." ”

Ivan, who had almost eaten, wiped his hands, stood up and said, "Don't be discouraged, I found some tools, and they are still usable." There is also a barrel of lube, brand new. ”

Boris was frustrated and complained: "What's the use of that? An airplane without fuel is a pile of scrap metal! What can lubricating oil do? Is it for the bitches sold to the bitches on Amsterdam's Sea Cucumber Street? ”

His rude words aroused the disdain of the ladies present, and they all turned their heads away in disgust.

Ivan said: "We can take the M-203E-1 30mm single-barreled chain gun on the Apache and turn it into a heavy machine gun with a slight modification, which is better than the Gatling." Of course, that thing is a bit heavy, and if the price base is better, I think the wheels of the plane are very good. ”

Boris's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Haha, Ivan, I'll just say that you have a good brain!" ”

Petru and Anderson also got excited, saying, "That's a good idea. ”

Ivan said: "This is not an easy job, Boris and I can't handle it, you are better at planes and machine-gun weapons than we are." ”

"No problem, as long as there are enough parts, the four of us will definitely be able to handle it." Anderson confidently said, "Retrofitting a cannon is not much more complicated than installing a fishing rod." ”

"Then we'll go now, it just so happens that our guns need to be oiled too." Petru said.

They just said they were leaving, as if they were going on a mission at a military base right now, and they forgot about other people and things.

Boris walked up to Petru and asked, "Hey, can you use that burning stick as a soldering iron?" Maybe you need to weld ......."
