Chapter 210: Reaching the Top

Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, NASA headquarters.

In 1991, NASA established the Earth Observation System (EOS), which consists of a number of high-precision satellites and conducts multidisciplinary (atmosphere, ocean, land, biology, geology, chemistry, etc.) comprehensive research.

Since it can be used to observe and study geology and biology, the various high-definition imaging technologies on the satellite are naturally speechless.

It is said that the EOC records the migration of millions of wildebeest herds in Africa every year, down to the exact location of each wildebeest.

With such an astonishing monitoring capability, the huge changes in Mount Olympus naturally cannot escape the EOC's satellite monitoring, and the entire process of the rise of the "sacred mountain" has been faithfully recorded and transmitted back to NASA headquarters.

NASA headquarters got the news, which means that the American military got the news.

However, the military is competing with those countries in the Middle East, and the meat grinder-like battlefield has caused the US military to suffer the worst casualties since World War II.

At this time, such news suddenly came, or the news of the so-called "Olympus Sacred Mountain", even if the military front-line battlefield was a little difficult, but it still aroused their interest enough - after all, those who were interested were the bigwigs of the US military, and the bigwigs didn't have to go to the battlefield, and those who died on the battlefield were just big-headed soldiers.

Of course, it was the intelligence services of the United States that set out to investigate earlier than the military, and they entered Greece in batches as journalists, businessmen, tourists, etc.

The brave and powerful warriors on the battlefield in the Middle East are coveted by all countries, but it is difficult to catch the living bodies of those super warriors, which brings great difficulties to the research.

The "Sacred Mount of Olympus" that has just appeared is obviously enough to make people think about it - is it possible that the abilities obtained by those warriors in the Middle East are the blessings of the "gods"?

Flip through the Greek myths! There are shadows of gods behind every mortal war, and every time the two sides of the war will sacrifice to the gods they worship, such as Ares, the god of war, Apollo, the god of the sun, or something.

The gods will bless their followers, and then there will be warriors who will become as strong as demigods, and will open "peerless" on the battlefield, brave and invincible.

This scene is too similar to what is happening on the battlefield in the Middle East today!

Therefore, not only the United States, but also other countries that have the ability to send special personnel into Greece to investigate, which can be described as "eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers." ”

However, the intelligence officers, who finally arrived at the foot of Mount Olympus, could only "look at the mountain and sigh" - they could not climb it at all.

The original Mount Olympus is a mountain with an altitude of less than 3,000 meters, this height is actually not ranked among the various dangerous peaks in the world, except for one of the slopes is too steep, it is more difficult to climb, in fact, it is nothing, people who come here to the summit every year are very many, climbers do not even have to be very professional personnel, as long as the team leader is experienced.

But now, none of the people at the foot of the mountain can climb up.

Not only does the mountain become nearly 90 degrees from the base, but with professional climbing tools, you can't even carve a mark on the rocks - it's too hard.

Where there is no gripper, how to climb?

Even if they can climb, who has the physical strength to climb the giant peak with a slope of 90 and a height of more than 9,000 meters with their bare hands?

This is simply not a place that mortals can climb up.

Fortunately, it is no longer ancient now, this mountain peak was definitely forbidden for human beings in ancient times, but it is nothing now - you can't climb it with your hands and feet, you can have other tools.

For example, hot air balloons.

Today, the world record for the highest manned hot air balloon is 21,290 meters.

Compared with airplanes, hot air balloons fly slowly and can hover for a long time, so many "tourists" and "journalists" have given up mountaineering, rented sturdy hot air balloons, and prepared to go up directly to see them.

If the clearing above the top of the mountain is big enough and flat, then it is okay to land there.

The red, red, green, and green hot air balloons have taken to the sky, and the intelligence officers of various countries with evil intentions have not yet flown halfway up the mountainside, and they have begun to ponder how to "seize the beach and land" later--they must get the most precious information first-hand.

If you can, it's better to have exclusive intelligence.

As a result, when these hot air balloons flew to an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, some of them began to malfunction inexplicably, either because of fuel problems, or because the balloon leaked - when the eight immortals crossed the sea and showed their powers, the eight immortals competed fairly according to their abilities, but none of these intelligence officers said anything "fair".

It's like a fisherman who goes to the river to catch crabs and throws the crabs into the same bamboo basket, without a lid and without worrying that the crabs will escape—the crabs that climb up will always be pinned by the crabs below and dragged down, and in the end no one can escape.

In the end, only 3 crabs, oh no, only 3 hot air balloons, reached the top.

The altitude here is more than 9,000 meters, and the oxygen content is very small, so the intelligence officers are all equipped with breathing equipment and well-dressed clothes to protect against freezing and cold.

"Oh buy Kad!"

One by one, the agents with oxygen masks on their mouths exclaimed, and they saw a palace complex, all of which seemed to be made of gold, and the sun shone on it, reflecting a blinding golden light.

If it was just like this, they would have been mentally prepared for it, and they would not be surprised to be like this, the really surprising thing is that between the palaces under the golden light, there are many giant trees with strange shapes, and the branches of those giant trees are actually curled up like octopus tentacles!

In the huge tentacles, the pink suction cups were closed one by one, and in the center of the suction cups, there were multiple layers of sharp teeth like lampreys.

This style of painting...... It's too contrary to traditional Greek mythology!

The three hot air balloons did not continue to "hurt each other", but landed on the edge of the mountaintop platform very tacitly, even if they are from different countries - now the situation is weird, one more "teammate", the possible enemy will be more distracted, and they will have a greater sense of security.

When the time comes, if there is something going on, whoever escapes quickly will have to play.

The three hot air balloons came from the United States, Russia and China.

The personnel of the three parties did not rush forward, but moved down the various equipment that had been prepared for a long time.

Huaguo released an unmanned rover, six wheeled, to adapt to various terrains, whether it is a swamp or a mountain, such as walking on flat ground;

What the United States released was a robot dog, bouncing like a living thing, fast and steady when running, equipped with some shooting tools and weapon systems;

Russia released unmanned aircraft, just because the altitude here is too high and the air is thin, even if those drones are made by military technology, the lift is a little insufficient.

Like the robot dogs in the United States, these drones are also equipped with weapon systems.

As a result, the personnel of the United States and Russia looked at the unmanned vehicles of China that had rushed out with some ill-intentioned eyes.

"Hehe......" The captain of the team led by Hua Guo smiled faintly, and silently, he saw that the headlights of one of the unmanned vehicles suddenly flashed red, and a boulder in front of him appeared with a hole the size of a fist that was penetrated.

"Holy!Laser weapons?!How can such a small battery ......" The Americans, who had bad intentions just now, couldn't help but shudder.
