Chapter 333: The Oddity of the Puerto Rico Trench
After a day and a night, the entire Devil's Triangle was searched, but nothing was found, and the energy release point was gone. {}
"What's going on? Could it be that this point has been transferred to other regions? ”
Ling Doudou and Naya Xue are also inexplicable. They have been tracking this energy release point for a long time, and they have basically figured out its movement range, but they can't find it this time, which is really beyond their expectations.
Mo Yingxuan's gaze looked into the distance, at the end of the enchantment light, there was a deep trench, where the famous Puerto Rican Trench was located.
"Guess if this energy release point will burrow into the trench?"
Everyone's eyes shifted to the darkness.
The enchantment ball of light was like a falling light bulb, silently and helplessly falling down the cliff under the sea.
Surrounded by pitch-black water, there is nothing but the cliff that runs vertically behind you, and when you look at the bottomless darkness beneath your feet, everyone has a feeling of falling into hell.
The Puerto Rico Trench is a trench between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with a maximum depth of more than 8,000 meters.
This trench is associated with the interaction of two zones. One is the subduction zone that follows the volcanic island arc of the Lesser Antilles to the south;
The other zone is a major transition fault or plate boundary area located between Cuba and Hispaniola, crossing the Cayman Trench to the coast of Central America.
The area is very active, and scientific studies have concluded that an earthquake along the fault is very likely to produce a powerful tsunami.
From the trench downward, there are more than 4,000 meters, and the depth from the bottom of the trench to the sea level is more than 8,000 meters. The lonely fall, the oppressive darkness, everyone fell silent again.
It took more than half an hour to reach the bottom of the ditch, and when the touch of the soles of the feet was transmitted to the bottom of the heart, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: it had finally arrived.
The environment here is different from the top, the sand surface is almost invisible at the bottom of the ditch, and there is a layer of flocculent stuff everywhere, as if it is some kind of vomit.
There are also quite a few wrecks at the bottom of the trench, but the full hull is rarely visible here. Falling from such a high distance, the iron ship also fell apart.
The width of the trench was more than tens of kilometers, and the length could not be endless, so after some discussion, the six of them decided to search north.
The depth here is too great to see large life forms, and the bottom of the trench is more primitive life forms, and arthropods such as sea crabs are already considered advanced life here.
All the way north, everyone could feel the tremendous pressure here, the protective barrier had shrunk by a circle, and the radiation distance of the light had also been shortened a lot, and everything had become very difficult here.
The Instrumental Psychic Weapon still hovered around the six, and they kept feeding back the situation around them. After a long search, there is still no change in the spiritual power screen, and there is still a lifeless piece around it.
When the search was three hours underway, the blue screen finally returned the information, and ten kilometers ahead, the instrument found a huge metal object.
Everyone rushed to that place, the instrument hovered over a pile of dust, Zhang Binhui carefully released his spiritual power, and the silt on the bottom of the sea slowly rolled over there like a wave, and a World War II-era combat plane was revealed.
"The Zero fighter, Japan's main combat aircraft during World War II, how did it appear here?"
Ma Tianyuan exclaimed, his knowledge was wide, and as a soldier, he could see the origin of this plane at a glance.
The enchantment was divided into four pieces, Ling Doudou, Mo Yingxuan and Naya Xue surrounded them, Zhang Binhui flew to the sky above the Zero fighter with the two, and everyone studied it carefully.
The Zero fighter was the main fighter of the Japanese Army and Navy from 1940 to 1945 during World War II, and was used from the Chinese battlefield to the end of World War II.
It began production in 1939 and was 2600 years old in the Imperial Era (the first year of the accession of Japan's first emperor, Emperor Jimmu), so it was called the Zero Fighter, and its official name was the "Zero Carrier-based Fighter".
The Zero fighter is the most produced fighter in the Japanese Army and Navy. Designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and jointly produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nakajima Flying Aircraft Co., Ltd., a total of 10,449 aircraft were produced, about two-thirds of which were produced by Nakajima Flying Aircraft Co., Ltd.
In the early days of the war, the Zero outwhelmed the US fighters with its small turning radius, high speed, and long range.
But by the middle of the war, when the U.S. military used a new fighter and captured the Zero, its weaknesses were studied. The Americans found that the armor of the Zero fighter was weak, and its body trembled violently when flying at high altitude, and it was easy to be hit by Soviet and US fighters, and the US pilots jokingly called it a "lighter in the air."
Slowly, the Zero advantage is lost. Later in the war, it became the main type of suicide attack of the "kamikaze commandos".
Zhang Binhui didn't know what was going on, but Ma Tianyuan looked very carefully, and when he saw him circling around the plane, Zhang Binhui asked curiously: "Is there any problem?" ”
"Of course there's a problem!" Ma Tianyuan replied without hesitation.
"Do you know that the Zero fighter is the main aircraft of the Japanese army in the Pacific, and no matter how far its range is, it will not be able to fly to the Atlantic.
Even if it's a carrier-based model, the devil's aircraft carrier has never reached the Atlantic, how could this thing fall here? ”
"Are you sure this is a Zero?"
Ma Tianyuan pointed to the markings on the wings: "Nonsense, such a big plaster is stuck there, you can't see it?" ”
It would be strange that the plane lying on the bottom of the sea was intact in shape, basically undamaged, and it was absolutely impossible to say that it was pushed by ocean currents, and even its integrity was doubtful.
So Zhang Binhui confirmed again: "Are you sure, is it this kind of appearance?" ”
Ma Tianyuan nodded affirmatively:
"This is the Zero, absolutely. The Zero fighter is the most famous aircraft of the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force during World War II, and it is also the signature model of the Japanese aircraft of World War II, and was the main force of the battle from beginning to end in the Pacific War.
In the early days of the Pacific War, the Type Zero inflicted unprecedented disasters on the Allied flying forces, giving the Allies the greatest shock.
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army had only 300 Zeros, of which 250 were put into the Pacific theater, and with this mere 250 Zeros, the Japanese army wiped out two-thirds of the Allied fighter units in the Pacific in a few months after the start of the war.
At that time, when the Allied pilots took off to meet the Zero, both the pilots and the commanders understood that eighty percent of the fighters would not be able to come back after they flew out.
Such a famous model, do you think I would be wrong? ”
"Then it's weird, how could this thing have fallen into the Puerto Rico Trench intact?"
