ACT055: Shadows under the ice

In the bridge, Zhao Jian, Kim Jung-shu and Xiao Pingbo were gulping down delicious wontons, and what was very interesting in Hongling's opinion was that the amount of food of these three people was inversely proportional to their size, so when they sat side by side to eat, the scene was indescribably joyful.

The three-headed Xiao Pingbo has the largest amount of rice, and the special big rice bowl feels more suitable for her as a bathtub! Zhao Jian is growing his body, so his nutrition must keep up, and the amount of food is also unstoppable. Only Kim Zhengshu was on a diet to lose weight because of his growing belly, and the bowl of chaos that Hongling gave him was divided into one-third by him to Pingbo, and the little guy suddenly even looked at him kindly.

A big bowl of chaos went down, Zhao Jian patted his belly with satisfaction, in addition to feeling very full at this time, he could also feel that the target was already under their diagonal. So he picked up Pingbo and came to the window on the left, pointed to the star ring below and asked.

"Do you dare to go down that place?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Pingbo nodded vigorously.

"Excellent! Then we'll go down and have a look later, and then fly under my command, understand? ”

"Young master, what are we going down for? There is so much gravel on the ring, it's dangerous to fly in! ”

"Third child, Hongling, do you believe me?"

Seeing that Kim Zhengshu said that he wanted to stop himself, Zhao Jian asked the two of them a question of trust, and then set his eyes on the two. Hongling nodded without hesitation, while Kim Zhengshu hesitated for a moment before following suit. Although Zhao Jian is not very old, his vision and courage are superior to others, and many of his subordinates are determined to engage in arms smuggling business with him because they have taken a fancy to his unlimited potential future.

"That's good! Third, send a radio to wake everyone up and ask them to assemble in the first cargo hold, I have something to say. ”

Soon the No. 18 people of the whole ship gathered in the No. 1 cargo hold, and when Zhao Jian saw that everyone was gathered, he jumped on a wooden box and looked at the people below and said.

"Brethren! First of all, I would like to tell you the news that the real purpose of our trip to Saturn is ...... Actually, I came to hunt for treasure. ”

As soon as Zhao Jian's words fell, the people below couldn't help but stir. Some people are excited, because treasure hunting is a good thing to make a fortune, and Zhao Jian is a good boss who pursues the principle of "everyone has a share" and never treats his subordinates badly. Some people are puzzled, because there was no news about this before, and now it comes out coldly, making them feel confused.

"Be quiet, be quiet! I know that everyone is very confused about my sudden statement that I want to hunt for treasure, and even think that I deliberately kept everyone in the dark. But it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I didn't trust my own speculations until we got here, but now it's different! ”

Zhao Jian said, took out Dr. Luerte's notes from his back and showed them to everyone present.

"All of you present are the first brothers to follow me, the mercenary team is all my father-in-law Liang Guoxiong's trusted veterans, and the seafarers are all my father Zhao Teng's henchmen, just by virtue of this relationship between the elders, I, Zhao Jian, trust you! So now I'm going to tell this secret to my confidants, brothers! ”

Holding Dr. Lurt's notes, Zhao Jian told everyone present about the process of finding it and the results he interpreted, and Di Rui and Wangcai, who were with him at the time, could testify. Zhao Jian then told everyone that in the process of interpreting this notebook, he found a "mysterious coordinate", and this coordinate point was on the star ring below the Pingbo at this time, and maybe there would be a "priceless treasure" waiting for them.

But in fact, Zhao Jian only told part of the truth, Dr. Luerte's notes did have coordinates, but that was only a rough estimate range, and what really completed the precise positioning was Zhao Jian's "sleep remote sensing"!

"The opportunity is right in front of us, who is willing to risk this vote with me!?"

"! Why don't you do it! Young Master Zhao treats us well, a manly man, he is not afraid of going up the sword mountain and going down to the sea of fire, are we who have been soldiers still afraid of playing with our lives!? ”

The first person to express his position was the mercenary captain Di Rui, when Liang Guoxiong introduced him, he privately told Zhao Jian, saying that Di Rui was trustworthy. The other party is a true man who attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and will never betray his brothers and friends, so Zhao Jian values him very much, and he did not disappoint Zhao Jian at the critical moment.

It is true that there is a certain danger in entering the star ring, but it may also be just a danger! The quantum ocean of the spaceship itself has a certain ability to resist impacts, and small pieces of gravel have no effect on the hull at all. Unless they deliberately hit asteroids that are much larger than themselves, there will be no problem.

With Di Rui taking the lead, everyone else also expressed their attitudes, while Zhao Jian took the opportunity to observe everyone's reactions. The reason why he made this show was to confirm the "purity" of the team, and wait for what they were going to touch, which was in a sense "priceless". Because in this world, both countries and individuals are eager for the things of the ancients.

After a qiē was ready, the Pingbo immediately plunged into the star ring, fortunately, the gravel of this generation was relatively delicate, and the small pieces were directly bounced off by the quantum ocean, and the large ones could be avoided as long as they paid attention, and as they gradually deepened, Zhao Jian's sense of the target became stronger and stronger.

"Slow down, drive slowly, and aim within 5 kilometers of the front."

"Young Master, how did you confirm?"

"Feel!"

Zhao Jian's answer made everyone in the bridge almost squirt out a mouthful of old blood collectively, but fortunately, the distance of 5 kilometers is very short for a spaceship, and Pingbo will be in place with a deceleration and emergency stop. At this time, Zhao Jian noticed that there was a huge ice block in front of them, with a diameter of more than 5 kilometers, and a huge black shadow could be faintly seen inside, and the object of Zhao Jian's induction was that thing!

"That'...... What's that? ”

Everyone present could tell that the ice cube was not a stone or anything else, but some kind of "man-made". The whole shadow looks wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, symmetrical from left to right, and at first glance it even looks a bit like a human face. The Pinnau circled around the ice, and by its size, it was not something that humans could have made today.

"Young Master, is this the treasure you are talking about? How I feel like a monster frozen in ice! ”

The sheer size of the ice and the lack of transparency of the ice make it a terrifying thing to the unknown. But Zhao Jian can confirm that it is an inanimate mechanical object inside, and the reason why it can be preserved so well is probably due to this layer of ice, and now Zhao Jian is ready to get it out.

"Third child, how many explosives did we bring here this time?"

"It's about 200 pounds...... There are also 4 jet torpedoes. ”

In addition to the two anti-aircraft machine guns in the front and rear of the ship used to attract pirates, the Pingbo is equipped with two hidden torpedo tubes like a submarine in the bow. It stands to reason that this kind of armament that is enough to pose a threat to warships should have been illegal, but because the range of the jet torpedo used in the universe is not high, it belongs to the "close defense weapon" that can be installed in Datang's self-defense law, so Zhao Jian decisively pressed two on Pingbo!

The thickness of the ice layer is about 3~4 meters, and it can be effectively removed by both cosmic jet torpedoes and explosives with low range. But this is space, and if explosives are used, you need to send someone to wear heavy overalls to get out, and at the same time, you need an additional oxygen supply device to detonate. Therefore, in order to save trouble, Zhao Jian decided to break the ice with a jet torpedo.

"Two shots from the right face!"

Aiming the bow at the exact center of the shadows, the Pinami fired two jet torpedoes at a distance of 500 meters. This kind of torpedo, which is propelled by gas cylinders, has a range of only 800 meters, otherwise it would not be classified as a close defense weapon.

The two torpedoes flew slowly towards the ice, and then silently burst into two sparks, and then the ice began to crack and fall off in large areas, revealing the true face of the shadow inside before it was fired a second time......

PS: Recently, I heard from some friends and authors that their books have begun to be lifted, probably a sign of the recent warming of the wind. So I was thinking about whether to rewrite some of Wang Qi's "recallable" plots, so I grinned decisively and decided to continue writing in the way I liked, and I was going to upload a chapter tomorrow (laughs).
