Chapter 585: Look, there’s a nuclear bomb.
“Didi ~”
“Detector N° 3 has detected the presence of nickel-based alloys ahead.”
The Lord Duan Battleship a thousand meters deep explored along the trench little by little. In its cargo hold, the two Electronic Messengers, who had been staring at the screen for three hours, weren’t tired of watching the astronomical data return.
More than 20 minutes later, the Squid Deep-sea Searcher No. 9 returned a report of the presence of nickel-based alloys forward. This time the Electronic Messenger conveniently marked it on another computer as the outline of this nickel-based alloy fragment was slightly suspect.
As the search continued, more and more alarms went off in the cargo hold and the Electronic Messengers also noted that there was more and more location information of suspicious fragments on the e-card.
When the thirteenth fragment was marked, the electronic map already showed semicircular fragments scattered in the area.
If there was a flexible person who calculated based on the scattering of these piece fragments, he would likely laugh in ecstasy, confirming that the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft that was once based on the aircraft carrier is at the center of these fragments now. However, this phenomenon did not cause any wave in the eyes of the electronic messengers; only one of them got up and went towards the passage of the cockpit.
“Boss, the plane wreckage has been found.”
“What?” Ye Qing turned to him sharply: “Why didn’t I hear the siren alarm to confirm the presence of the wreckage?”
“The Squid has not yet found it, but depending on the location of the fragments of the wreckage, the location of the crash can be roughly estimated.”
Looking at the outlines of several pieces of debris mentioned by the Electronic Messenger, Ye Qing immediately transferred the Lord Duan Battleship over the indicated area where the twelve Squid Deep-sea Searchers were concentrated in this lost area in the deep sea.
“Didi ~”
“Detector N° 3 detected the presence of another piece of a nickel-based alloy in front of…”
“Didi ~”
“Detector N° 12 detected the presence of another piece of a nickel-based alloy in front of…”
“Didi ~”
“Detector N° 2 detected the presence of another piece of a nickel-based alloy in front of…”
Over time, more and more reports were coming in. Ye Qing’s adrenaline was also gradually increasing. When the stern alarm sounded throughout the Lord Duan Battleship, there were a total of four Squid Deep-sea Searchers who reported the presence of a magnesium alloy at the same time. The nickel-based alloy and the depleted-uranium alloy on the upper shell of the nuclear bomb were detected where the debris was scattered.
Ye Qing felt his thoughts had completely exploded and his heart was filled with unspeakable joy, “I found him, and I finally found him.”
Ye Quing seemed to him that everything was going well and that it did not take much time, but behind it, dozens of monsters spent more than half a month working hard and yet the best research equipment built by KONE was the technical backbone of all this work. Of course, there was also a little factor called ‘Luck ‘, because if he had no luck it would take him at least two days to search this whole sea area.
Looking at the screen, the red dot which continued to flash and surrounded by several green dots, the green dots represented the little Squid Deep-sea Searchers. Ye Qing immediately took control of one of these detectors, the Squid Deep-sea Searcher N° 1, which was equipped with a special camera and a powerful light. Ye Qing controlled it to turn on the equipment and dive to the wreckage site.
The water depth here was 5,000 meters, and the water pressure was terrible, and the light could only pass a few meters through the water and the image returned from the monitor was gray and white, and Ye Qing could see that a thick layer of volcanic ash has accumulated on the bottom of the sea. The terrain here is hilly and when the Squid Deep-sea Searcher rounded a low hill, it immediately spotted its target. It was a much lower hill, and from the outline, it stood out vaguely like a triangle.
When Ye Qing took control of the Squid Deep-sea Searcher and gently blew a piece of dust with his tail thruster and revealed the wreckage which was badly corroded and had taken on the same color as the volcanic ash, the mermaid sounded wildly and an oval-shaped depleted uranium alloy object was detected.
Facing this pile of debris, Ye Qing really couldn’t tell where the nuclear bomb was hidden, and it seemed like he could only lift the whole thing.
The plane wreckage was badly corroded, but there was no need to worry about the nuclear bombshell. Not to mention soaking in seawater for decades. The shells of nuclear bombs made by mankind with the most advanced metallurgical technology do not have to worry about being corroded by seawater.
The bulk carrier will arrive soon, and Ye Qing took advantage of this time to operate the Squid Deep-sea Searcher to gradually blow dust on the wreckage.
According to public records, the pilot was already parachuted before the fighter plane crashed into the sea. In the end, the pilot died, Ye Qing did not know. Either way, he just doesn’t have to worry about people in the plane wreckage.
……
At 800 kilometers, a ship that appears to be forged from a single piece of metal, no matter from what angle you look at it, you will feel a huge ship full of iron and steel was riding the wind and waves and s approaching the position of the Lord Duan Battleship carrying the Titan 1, with the world’s first lifting capacity!
Its bow was shaped like a blunt hammer, with a giant door-like Monster Heavy Industry alloy logo encrusted on it. The hull had a counterweight water storage cabin and cargo warehouse, and aft of the ship a cable-stayed chain bridge also appears to have a high spire. From the engine to the crane, everything was done by monsters. In addition to the main boom, a variety of large engineering equipment was installed on the engineering ship.
In the cockpit, a Master Metal Expert stood in front of the rudder with a cold face and took the helm. The crew responsible for navigation according to maps and parameters is also made up of monsters. The whole ship is equipped with nine monsters, and one monster could perfectly do the work of five people. As for the crew qualification certificate ~ this kind of qualification certificate obtained through the back door is not worth mentioning.
“I call Colossus. This is the Miyanoradake dispatch center. Please report your location. You have requested your planned route will pass through our north-western sea area, down there is heavy rain and heavy waves ~ please change course. Or come to our port for shelter first, and set sail when the weather improves.”
The Electronic Messengers understand English. After all, electronic computers are all in English, but they all overlooked that appeal.
“Hey ~ Colossus, please respond if you hear us.”
Finally, annoyed by the call, the Electronic Messenger replied: “It’s a level 7.5 ocean wave, our bulk carrier is unaffected.”
“…”
There were a few seconds of silence on the dispatch desk, and then in the originally quiet public channel, there was a burst of excitement.
“I’m the ocean-going tanker Serena. Brother, at first I had the same idea as you. Now we’ve put aside the loss of the electrical system and are heading for the harbor for shelter.”
“I… This is the Sunset bulk carrier. Brother, listen to our advice. Take a detour and come and find a port for shelter. This sea area is absolute evil ~ besides, my brother, what kind of ship are you?”
“We are a foreign warship,” The electronic messenger was not cold. He responded warmly.
There was a burst of laughter on the radio.
“Who’s going to save us? It’s the Sapphire. We’ve lost a power system. We can’t resume the journey. We can’t resume the journey.”
Along with laughter, there was a sudden cry for help over the radio.
“What’s the situation? Sapphire, didn’t you go to the port for shelter first?”
“Ah ~” a cry came from Sapphire.
“This is the dispatch center, Sapphire; please report the location and situation immediately.”
