Chapter 576: Smooth return.
Chapter 576: Smooth return.
The blizzard lasted for five hours and when it came to a stop the Lord’s Duan Battleship was half-buried in snow, and when it was all over Ye Qing gazed at this kind of scenery for a while, looking across the porthole, and found that the world was out of contour and that there was no sign of orientation in this wonderful landscape, then he activated the propeller of the Lord’s Duan Battleship to blow out the surrounding snow several meters thick, again exposing the combustible ice buried below, then continued its work.
In the sixth stage, the volume of the Lord’s Duan Battleship Warehouse is one thousand cubic meters, and it can carry one thousand tons. It can also be seen from here that the Lord’s Duan is huge because if a thousand cubic meters are deposited in a cubic-shaped warehouse, it will have a huge volume of ten meters in length, width, and height.
There is no night here in Antarctica, and Ye Qing, who has immersed himself in his work, has not been able to notice the passage of time. Twenty-two hours had passed manipulating the two multifunctional robotic arms to slice up 1,000 cubic meters of combustible ice and place them carefully in the cargo hold.
When Ye Qing turned around to return to Shanghai, the Lord’s Duan Battleship left a trail that looked like a dragon walking through ice and snow. He doesn’t have to worry about these tracks, the strong wind and snow will bury the tracks in less than two hours.
When the Lord’s Duan Battleship put back her camouflage hull and plunged into the sea to sail, Ye Qing had nothing more to do, as he could let the Lord’s Duan Battleship sail automatically. He headed to the living room to rest but didn’t feel too drowsy, so he lay down on the bed.
At this time, the satellite signal receiver which was based outside emitted intermittent signals. There may be no satellite network coverage over the South Pole. Having nothing to do, Ye Qing used his laptop to open an electronic card. This map is a mosaic map of the world map; its content is very simple. It only contained the names of the seven continents and sea areas, no country names, but it did contain additional markings that are not available on regular maps i.e. eight nuclear bomb marks, they are located in the waters surrounding the United States, as well as the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific, among those eight signs are the first lost United States B47 bomber since 1956, which was lost in the vast sea due to a plane breakdown and a lost submarine during the period of the 80s where it has been planted in the Mediterranean Sea since the year 1980.
According to declassified US official documents Ye Qing recently inquired about, there has been 32 “broken arrow,” accidents reported by US officials in the past 20 years, most of which were bomber accidents carrying nuclear bombs. Of course, most of the nuclear bombs were found.
The eight sea zones shown on the map now contained nuclear bombs which cannot be recovered due to uncertain locations and too deep water. In addition, over time, these long-lost nuclear bombs were submerged by seabed dust raised by ocean currents, and the United States abandoned the search altogether. It can also be inferred that the United States was so powerful during the Cold War that eight nuclear bombs were left at sea.
If Professor Cai hadn’t told Ye Qing these things, he wouldn’t have sought to find this official information, and he wouldn’t believe this sort of thing existed.
After carefully studying this data, Ye Qing first decided to target the nuclear bomb carried by a ‘Douglas A-4 Skyhawk’ attack aircraft based on an aircraft carrier that crashed in the Pacific in 1965, it is located in a deep submarine depression more than 300 kilometers from the island of Okinawa, it is one of a series of Sea of Japan depressions stretching from the Thousand Islands Trench to the Mariana Trench via the Ogasawara Trench. . The water depth at the crash site was close to 5,000 meters, and the locating range was small.
In the Dark Trench, the traces of the Lord’s Duan Battleship could also be perfectly hidden. Of course, the Lord’s Duan Battleship couldn’t dive to that depth. In the sixth stage, its maximum diving depth is only one kilometer. For this, Ye Qing must build a set of deep submersibles capable of withstanding high-pressure seawater and highly technologically advanced research equipment. In fact, Monster Factory has already given a solution to this seemingly impossible task.
Two days later, the Lord’s Duan Battleship returned to the Longxitan factory in a calm and serene manner. Combustible ice that was sealed in the cargo hold was immediately transferred to dozens of cold stores for sealed storage.
Now that the combustible ice is available, Ye Qing has also asked the company to start manufacturing the remaining materials. These high-purity metals cannot be purchased, and factories melt them themselves.
As long as military-grade plutonium is available, energy towers can be erected in factories.
……
After nearly a week of isolation, Ye Qing felt he wanted to find someone to talk to and chat with. This kind of feeling intensified after spending an overnight meeting with Hardware Masters and Master Metal Experts to discuss the submarine submersible project. While the monsters can chat as well, they’ve only been of great interest to the machine industry.
……
For example, to withstand the pressure of seawater at a depth of 5,000 to 6,000 meters, Ye Qing and they discussed making the hull of the submersible in a spherical shape, to design a model that can withstand tremendous pressures.
You should know that each time it dives to a depth of one kilometer, the submersible must withstand a pressure of one thousand tons per square meter on the outer hull, which gives, at a depth of 5,000 meters, and this pressure will reach 5,000 tones.
What is this notion?
To use a popular analogy, a five thousand ton forging machine constantly hits a car. If you can find the hull material that keeps the car from warping, you will have the skills to make this kind of deep submersible.
In the eyes of outsiders, it can be a normal meeting for the president to bring in engineers to discuss product solutions. But in Ye Qing’s eyes; they are none other than monsters hidden under overalls for disguise, they have long horns, like monsters out of darkness and savagery, it sounds pleasing to the eye, but Ye Qing is a human being, who stayed with them for a week, alone.
……
So when the lanterns were lit and the shining moon hung in the sky, Ye Qing changed into a casual jacket, adjusted the data glasses to a lighter color, and drove the Mercedes-Benz G 65 through the streets. The G 65 is a high-powered, muscular car, commonly referred to as the Big G on the Internet, and is very popular among young men.
Of course, Ye Qing did not leave aimlessly. He walked down Huanhai Avenue to the city. After walking a few blocks, he parked the car near the family building of the Chengxi Industrial and Commercial Bank. Rolling down the car window and playing soft music, Ye Qing was about to wait for someone to go to dinner together.
The cool car and the handsome man in the car, the combination of the two pieces, can attract the attention of the opposite sex a lot. No, within a minute of his stop, there was a girl who was dressed in a bit of bright color and whose appearance was about six and a half minutes away.
……
Some drunken people didn’t want to walk to ask for directions while intoxicated.
……
“Handsome dude, may I ask where there is a clinic nearby. My heart is beating a bit fast and I hardly can breathe,” The girl gently held the Big G’s rearview mirror, posing a soft, weak gaze.
“I don’t know him. You can use your cell phone to find him on the map,” Ye Qing raised an imperceptible proud smile at the corner of his mouth in front of her.
The girl in front of him, if she was in college like this, might find someone who values her feminine flower and so on, and might get the attention of many male colleagues who will compete against each other to show their courtesy.
“I… My phone has run out of power. Can you find a clinic for me using your phone?”
“Turn left. There’s a clinic in the alley.”
Dressed in a small brown leather jacket, the girl had a feminine look and charm, her skin was fair remained standing motionless next to the car with a smile.
“What is it, ma’am, are you uncomfortable?”
“No… No…” The girl who started the conversation took two steps back then blushed and left.
“She said her heart rate was fast, and she couldn’t breathe.” Ye Qing suppressed a smile, perhaps because of his eloquence.
The clothes she wore today suited her very well. They were all youth, sport, and leisure styles.
“Brother Ye, when people see you, their heartbeat would increase.” Bai Douer playfully stuck his tongue out at Ye Qing through the car window.
“Get in the car, and your brother will take you to a big meal.” Ye Qing patted the car door.
After getting into the car and closing the door, Ye Qing also lifted the window and was about to ask Doudou what she wanted to recommend, but she made a hissing gesture and then gave him a hug with soft music accompaniment.
