26 The ships of Hermes
"Start a combat meeting." Frankenstein said as he pressed a switch in his hand.
With a heavy rumbling sound, the shelves in the warehouse sank into the ground along with the floor below, and then, a large LCD screen appeared on the wall, on which a picture of the battleship appeared.
"Little blood to assign tasks." The girl in white sat down on the workbench beside her.
"How many times have you said it, don't call me that......" With a helpless voice, Lori in a black dress jumped out of a mirror next to her, moved her slender limbs, and then pointed at Zhang Luo and shouted:
"Why are you here?"
"Hello, I'm new here." Zhang Luo waved his hand at Bloody Mary.
"Not only did you not kill him, but you also recruited him into the organization, which is really good......" Bloody Mary frowned slightly.
"Is it really good to say this to my face?" Zhang Luo continued to smile politely.
"Little blood, don't talk nonsense." Frankenstein shook his legs impatiently.
"You...... Never mind. Bloody Mary glared at Zhang Luo again, then stood in front of the screen, pointed to the battleship on the screen and said:
"This is the 'Hermes', a ship secretly built by the United States, which arrived in Antarctica two weeks ago in the name of a scientific research ship.
"Why do you say that?" Karemond scratched his head as he looked at the white-hulled ship on the screen.
"If you look at the bridge, you can see that it is not a civilian ship, and judging from the front deck, it is obvious that the turret has been removed." Zhang Luo answered the questions of transforming people.
Bloody Mary said angrily: "That's right, this ship is a destroyer, and as for its function, it is the finished product of the 'meteorological weapon' program that the United States has been researching since the last century." β
"What's going on?" Hearing this, Li Wenchong's face became solemn.
"In fact, Antarctica has always had secret meteorological weapons tests, and the reason why the Antarctic ozone hole appeared was also because the United States tested 'ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave transmitters' there. By emitting a super-powerful signal from the ionosphere, the resulting high temperature burns up all the ozone above. These strong signals can also be used to shield radio signals in a certain area, change the weather in local areas, and create meteorological disasters such as thunderstorms, or even earthquakes. Bloody Mary explained.
"The transformation of this 'Hermes' is to streamline and compress the high-frequency electromagnetic wave transmitter that originally covered an area of 230,000 square meters into a warship. If this plan is really successful, then the meteorological weapons base, which would have been turned into a bombing target in wartime, will become a warship that can sail around the world. β
"It sounds scary." A serious expression appeared on Karemon's metallic face.
"It doesn't matter to us, I'm not really interested in these things that humans use for infighting." Bloody Mary shook her head.
Hearing this, Zhang Luo asked: "Didn't you say that it was a 'portable weather control machine', and the destroyer is also in the category of portable in your eyes?" β
"Of course, you don't have to run around with a destroyer, the control terminal of the weather controller is only the size of a TV remote control. You don't need to operate communication satellites when you make satellite calls, do you? Lori in the black dress snapped her fingers as she spoke, and the picture of the battleship on the screen changed to a map of Antarctica, marked with a conspicuous red dot on it:
"At the moment Hermes is parked in this position, and it has already conducted two trials. Just as the third test was about to take place, the ship, along with the nearby submarine on escort duty, suddenly lost contact with the base. The US military satellite took a look and found that the ship was still parked in its original position, but there seemed to be no signs of life on it. β
"A monster killed everyone on board?" Carremont offered his own speculation.
"That's probably the case, the executioners wouldn't do such a thing, so we assume it must have been the Conqueror's gang. If those guys are allowed to seize the weather weapon, the consequences will be unimaginable. Bloody Mary sighed.
"So, the mission goal is to recapture the ship, right? But what about the U.S. side? Zhang Luo asked.
-- Naturally, the United States, which possesses such a "meteorological weapon," cannot ignore the loss of its own weapons, because after all, even helicopters and tanks that are damaged on the battlefield and cannot be recovered will be directly blown up to prevent other countries from gaining technology, let alone such a terrifying weapon.
"Based on communications we have intercepted, it appears that they sent a Navy SEAL to try to recapture Hermes, and if that fails, they will launch missiles to blow it up. As for how to solve it, Lord Frankenstein must have a solution. Bloody Mary set her eyes on the girl in white who had been sitting on the workbench yawning.
Realizing that everyone else was staring at him, Frankenstein stretched out again and said slowly, "Use holographic projections to make fake ships for them to blow up, and we'll take the real ones." β
"Is it really that simple......" Zhang Luo said helplessly.
ββEven though it sounded reliable, he didn't think that this deception could succeed, after all, the other party was not a fool, and if he would believe such a thing, it would be impossible to create equipment of the level of a weather weapon.
"Leave it to me, you take the ship." Frankenstein's tone sounded confident.
"Since Lord Frankenstein said so, let's focus on capturing the ship." Bloody Mary nodded and continued: "Let's all go and prepare, we will leave for the Antarctic in an hour, and after we arrive at the place, there will be personnel stationed at the Antarctic base of the Research Society to pick us up, and then we will make specific combat arrangements." Still have questions? β
"I have a problem." Zhang Luo immediately raised his hand.
"What?"
"I'm going to starve to death if I don't eat, can you let me go out for a meal first?" Zhang Luo said seriously.
Hearing this, the conference room suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.
Bloody Mary sighed: "Human beings are really troublesome, okay, Li Wenchong, you take him out to eat first, and other things will be talked about when you come back." β
After getting permission, Zhang Luo turned around and was about to walk out.
"Wait a minute!" Li Wenchong stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
"You better change your clothes...... Looking at Zhang Luo in a hospital gown, Li Wenchong threw him a bunch of keys: "There are normal clothes in the closet over there, go and put them on." β
"Ha, thank you then." Zhang Luo said and strode in the direction of the wardrobe.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the shadows at the far end that the four people left in the conference room looked at each other, and finally it was Bloody Mary who broke the silence:
"I always think this kid is too unreliable, it's really okay if you don't kill him?"
"I believe him." Frankenstein was quick to speak.
