Ivan told us that the three-dimensional warehouse was actually set up under this huge shipyard. There are also many such warehouses underneath the dockyard, and the Japanese used to transport supplies to this place by train day after day. The amount of materials hoarded in the warehouses here is absolutely beyond imagination.

Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the huge keel below, and I didn't know much about navigation and ships, so I couldn't tell what type of ship it was, and I didn't know what it was for.

From above, the black keel is rusted in many places and seems to have been abandoned for a long time. It looks like it's dozens of meters long and about ten meters wide. And a long time ago, the keel must have had some kind of huge impact, and I could clearly see that there was a completely dented piece in the middle and back of the center.

It was unbelievable that a steel-backed skeleton could be bent to such an extent, as if it had been smashed by a huge fist. What the hell is going on?

"I think you've all guessed the actual purpose of this mission, so I'll let it go first." Ivan lit a cigarette and said slowly. "Now I'm going to tell you what's going on with this keel."

After that, Ivan spent a long time telling us an unknown piece of history

The malignancy of the Kwantung Army in China is well known, especially in the three eastern provinces. It has been under the control of the Japanese for eight years, and what they did on this land may always be a mystery. However, there are some important things that they will still leave a lot of written materials or reports. At the end of World War II, the Soviet Red Army once threw the Kwantung Army into a big drain, so that they raised the white flag in a few months.

Naturally, the Soviet Union seized a lot of things left behind by the Kwantung Army, and in addition to various weapons and supplies, there were also a few written materials. At that time, the Japanese generally completely burned these things that could be used as evidence in future war trials before surrendering, and the generally complete written materials of the Kwantung Army were very rare.

However, when a unit of the Soviet Red Army was delayed in capturing a facility similar to a research institute, it was surprising to find that the Japanese did not burn the written materials. Almost all of them were researchers, and they couldn't even use guns themselves, and the Soviets arrested them all without saying a word. After interrogation, the Soviet Union learned that these documents were originally intended to be used by these people to fly directly to their own country. Fortunately, the Japanese did not expect the momentum of the Red Army's offensive to be fierce as scheduled, and the Red Army came when these people were still hurriedly packing their bags.

These accidentally seized materials made the Soviet authorities very serious, and after discussions with the then Guoming government, they decided to return these materials to the Chinese. Although this was done in the end, the Soviets were left behind, and the transfer of these materials was a little delayed because the government was busy with the signing of the armistice treaty.

In such a short period of time, the Soviet side made a perfect copy of the material. And for good reason, because a lot of the stuff in this material is interesting to them. At the time of the seizure, the Soviet military did not care very much about these things, so they casually agreed to hand over the matter.

But then, for some reason, the KGB men suddenly stepped in sideways. The KGB used its powerful authority to forcibly "borrow" the materials for a period of time, and although they returned them before the deadline, this was still a violation of certain treaties, and the Soviets sent them back as if they were unaware.

"The data is actually a complete and systematic logbook, as well as a geological and meteorological document." Ivan continued. "You get the idea, right? What you find in that lighthouse is part of these, or the source. ”

Ivan said that these documents recorded a huge plan secretly carried out by the Japanese, and the sophistication and enormity of which were completely beyond imagination. And extremely whimsical, the report shows that they have found a huge cavity in the ground of a relatively abnormal meteorological area. For some unknown reason, the Kwantung Army attached great importance to this place, and after that, it used a lot of manpower and material resources in this area.

"This area is where your mission will take place, and that's where it is." Ivan pointed to the top of our heads. We all knew he was talking about the forest sea above.

"Then it turned out that the Japanese finally discovered this huge hole that we had run into. Then began to build a hypothetical railway, and the previous report said that the Japanese exploration team had found something very strange in this place, and it was because of this thing that the Japanese decided to send a large number of people to this place. He continued.

Anyway, that's how things unfolded, and even the Japanese didn't know what that thing was. But one thing is important, they can be pretty sure that it should be in a body of water that is too big to describe. This is the conclusion reached by the Japanese geological survey, and the authenticity is very guaranteed.

So they finally came up with the crazy idea of building a harbor next to that huge body of water. All the ships were transported to this dock in pieces, assembled, and then driven into the body of water. This is how the logbook came from, and I don't know why they also set up a large number of geological and meteorological observation equipment here. After that, day after day, the voyage records and observations.

The Japanese have always been able to come to the conclusion that the project ran like a bottomless pit that cost money until the end of the anti-Japanese war. As for what happened in this place, there is not much description in the information, just a general statement of what irreversible accident happened in the port that caused them to give up.

The record is mostly calm. It's unbelievable that there is such a huge cavity in the ground, and that there is still a water in the cavity that is almost as large as Shanghai. But judging from the long history of the Japanese people's activities, the waters were unusually calm, and the things that made them so concerned never appeared again.

The only time something was recorded in a somewhat different way was when a probe ship encountered something in a strange storm and was swept back near the harbor by the water. The ship was badly damaged, the center of the hull was completely sunken in, and it completely lost power, so it could only keep drifting on the water.

What is incomprehensible is that when the Japanese found the shipwreck, all the members on it disappeared without a trace. The entire hull did not have any damage except for the indentation in the center, and no traces of ** were found on it, and every cabin was normal. Obvious traces of emergency repairs can be found in the organ room at the bottom of the ship, and it can be seen that the crew on this ship has handled the crisis very well. It was because they were close to perfect repairs that the ship was not sunk.

The captain's logbook lasted until the day of the accident, and there was no doubt in the record. But these crew members just disappeared, as if the world had evaporated, and there were no dead or dead people. No one could have guessed what had happened after they had repaired the cabin.

"And then the ship was taken to the dock because of that kind of gruesome accident. After the repair, they could not recruit a new crew, so the Japanese fortunately decided to dismantle it directly. Ivan had finished smoking the cigarette in his hand.

"You wouldn't say that this thing in front of us is," Chen Zaihai said in disbelief.

"Or what do you think it would be?" He lit another one. "How many docks do you think the Japanese will build?"

"What happened after that?" I asked.

Ivan took a puff of cigarette and looked at us and said that there was no more aftermath, the Japanese quickly surrendered, and the project was completely stopped, because of the accident that I don't know what happened, they didn't even have time to destroy the evidence.

"If it happened so early, why didn't the action start until now?" This time it was Talia who asked. "It's been more than 20 years, is it too late to investigate at this time?"

Ivan glanced back at the busy engineers in the distance and replied that this was also a helpless thing, because the report did not indicate the specific coordinates of the area at all, and then China fell into a civil war and had no room to care about such a thing. It was only after the establishment of China that they were able to reach a consensus with China, but what made them strange was that they could not find the area with abnormal weather described by the Japanese for decades, and no matter how much they monitored it, there was no abnormal reaction.

"That's why it's been delayed until now, isn't it?" Chen Zaihai said. "You stumbled upon those cloud maps recently to determine the location on that report, right?"

Ivan nodded, saying that as soon as our satellite discovered the Soviet Union, it got in touch with the Chinese side, and finally facilitated this Sino-Soviet joint test mission. The ultimate goal of this mission is to find the port built by the Japanese, and we will continue to do what the Japanese didn't sit and play. This was a determination of both the Soviet Union and China that it could not resist.

At this point, Ivan had said all the words, and the reason why he appeared here so simply was because he knew things well in advance, and the Japanese had long stated that they could find this dock by following the railroad tracks. I really don't know what the wrong road that we took before was for

In the end, we had no choice but to accept the true purpose of this task, since it was directly ordered by the top, we had to obey the order. Although Chen Zaihai and I both knew that Ivan must have a lot of things to hide from us, and we couldn't pry his mouth open, it was impossible for him not to know about the relationship between the KGB and our Meteorological Bureau, he just didn't want to tell us.

What we can do is still the same as before, just take it one step at a time
