Chapter 10 Searching for a Shipwreck

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Over the U.S. Air Force training base, an SH-3 Sea King helicopter was hovering. It was not until the pilot recognized the exact landing spot that he prepared to land.  ¡ª¡ªType -WwW.69¦¦W.CoM on your browser to see the latest updates. This helicopter is made in the UK. It plays a considerable role in rescue operations and efficient transportation.  The helicopter landed slowly on the ground and slowly docked at a landing point far away from the main facilities of the base.  Two civilian personnel and a small group of U.S. Air Force military police immediately stood at attention, waiting for a "big shot" to get off the helicopter.  James Bond hasn¡¯t been to Japan for a long time, and overall, he¡¯s only been to Okinawa once.  Wearing a Royal Navy uniform, he strode out of the Sea King helicopter.  Although his current public status is as a reservist, he still wears the rank of lieutenant colonel.  Holding in his hand the little red box that he had risked to snatch back, Bond walked in front of the U.S. military police and raised his right hand to return the salute.  A U.S. Air Force sergeant shouted: "Quiet!" A large civilian officer walked towards Bond.  He was wearing a uniform that had "CIA" written on it, but the handwriting was gaudy and sloppy.  "Hi! Jim! My old man, I've been waiting for you for a long time." He greeted Bond affectionately with a thick southern American accent.  Bond grabbed the hand of Jack Wade.  The two of them had worked together in Russia.  Although most people would think that the CIA and the British National Security Agency never interact, Bond enjoys working with his American counterparts.  His best friend Felix Little had worked for the CIA for a period of time before, and they were a good partner who worked very well together at that time.  Little later left the CIA and entered Pinston's secret detective agency, where Bond once sought his help.  But they haven't seen each other for a long time, and Little is currently semi-retired and on vacation somewhere in Texas.  Although Jacko Wade is also a Texan, his personality is completely different from Little.  He looks more like a plus-sized "good boy."  He has a burly figure but a rough personality, which will irritate Bond's nerves at some point.  What annoys Bond the most is that this guy always calls him "Jim" and he won't change no matter what he says.  But Jacko Wade is indeed a good detective and he has many social connections.  It was he who helped Bond out of trouble on one occasion.  "Are you sure you can take it away?" Bond asked Jacko.  "M called me," he smiled widely, "I am very willing to help her. After saying that, he turned to another civilian employee standing behind him. This was an elegant man who looked like  He is in his forties. ¡°Jim, let me introduce to you. This is Dr. Griwalt, the head of our laboratory. He researched all these things.  "Bond looked at the doctor and thought: This man is exactly the opposite of Dr. Hofermeier from Hamburg. This Dr. Griewort probably wouldn't hurt a flea. They shook hands. "  Okay, Diver, take it out!  Wade said anxiously. Dave Grevoort looked at Wade in disbelief, as if Wade was going crazy: "Take it out?"  now?  Right here?  " Wade looked around: "Don't worry, we are in a U.S. Air Force base now, and there are still twenty armed soldiers on guard around us. There must be no problem.  "The doctor also looked around, and then nodded to Wade in agreement. Under the command of the sergeant, the military police began to unload a huge trolley from an armored vehicle. At this time, Wade quietly removed Bang  Della stepped aside. ¡°Jim, you know, I don¡¯t mean to disrespect the brave British by saying these things,¡± he said, ¡°Did you smoke marijuana?  Don¡¯t you know that in terms of numbers, the Chinese have an absolute advantage, surpassing you by almost a billion!  Does your navy think it's 1863?  Do you know what you are doing?  You are using your own small naval fleet to provoke a huge air force base in China!  "    "do you know?  M was almost fired just because she said something similar to you.  said Bond. "Ah ha, I finally understand."  Wade opened his mouth, "Do your people think you are simply liars and idiots, but what about you?"  I had to do it on my own again.  Damn it, this happens every day to the CIA.  " "Tell me, Jacko.  said Bond. "What?"  " "Do you still have that 'totem' on your butt?  " Wade gave Bond a hard look. He was not particularly proud of the white rose tattoo on his right hip, which also had his wife's name engraved on it.Son's name: Murphy.  At this time, Dr. Grivot was already greeting them: "Hey, come on, we are all ready." On the cart was a GPS device, which was the same as the one used on the "Davishaar"  That's very similar.  Next to the GPS, there is a safe.  Dr. Grivot had already opened the safe, took out an atomic clock signal deciphering system, and put it on the cart.  "Please forgive us for being overly suspicious at times, but you must know that this is one of our country's most strictly guarded technological secrets." Dr. Griwalt said sincerely to Bond, "There are only twenty of these devices in total.  The second setah, oops!" Suddenly, Dr. Grivot screamed as if he suddenly saw a snake.  Bond took out an ACSES device that he had brought with him from the red box, and then casually threw it next to the ACSES device that Dr. Griwalt had just taken out from the safe.  "Oh, my God, Jim!" Wade's voice was full of incredible shock.  "Come and see the twenty-third member of ACSES," Bond said. "This is a small gift from us to the CIA. If you don't call me "Jim" anymore,  If so, he will be yours." Dr. Grivot finally recovered from the shock and connected both ACSES devices to the GPS system.  Bond and Wade waited together to see the results, watching intently as the display began to flash.  At this time, two overlapping circles appear on the screen, but they do not overlap so that there is no intersection.  "Did you see that? Someone has tampered with this device." "Would this cause the ship to deviate from its original planned voyage?" Bond asked.  "If you can use a satellite to send out this signal," Grivot said, "then it will be no problem." "Then if I tell you where the ship thought it was when it sank, you can  Calculate the actual location of its sinking? " "Of course there is no problem!" Dr. Griwalt said, "But it may be within a small range, which is about the same as the range from here to the edge of the runway."  The distance between them is about 50 yards.  ¢Ù (¢Ù Approximately 46 meters.) Dr. Grivot raised his hands and gestured as if comparing the size of a fish, "I can put you between here and here." "That must be very interesting.  said Bond.  Then, he turned to Wade, "Well, I would like to ask you to do me a little favor." A U.S. Air Force C-130 aircraft is flying in the thin air layer at high altitude. It has almost reached its own altitude.  The highest flight limit.  In the early morning, it left the U.S. Air Force training base in Okinawa and arrived over the South China Sea at noon.  At this time, Bond on the plane had already put on his diving suit and was ready to take action at any time.  He had two diving fins strapped to his chest, a parachute on his back, and two bulky devices on each wrist - an altimeter and a GPS receiver.  Technical personnel from the Air Force Staff once again inspected Bond's equipment.  At this time, Jacko Wade was standing not far away, looking at him with a frown.  "My God," Wade said, "I really don't understand now, how did you convince me to let me do this for you?" The technician doing the inspection said to Bond: "Did I  "I forgot to tell you that that place is below minus 54 degrees where we are now." "No, you didn't forget, you already told me."  At this time, the pilot announced to them through the intercom of the aircraft: "Attention, there are still 2 minutes!" "Also, I think I should have reminded you before, the distance you have to free fall is about 5 miles." Technology  The officer couldn't believe his ears, and he asked again, "Furthermore, the parachute you are carrying must be deployed at a height of 200 feet (approximately 61 meters) above the sea. By then, you will be like a bag of cement."  "Yes, I know all of this. In fact, you have told me all of this more than once," Bond replied helplessly.  "I think I must be crazy to agree to your request." Wade said, "Do you know what you are doing? You are going to die, and what about me? I will spend the rest of my life  Testimony to the U.S. Congress. Damn it, let's think about it. There must be a better way than this. "But unfortunately, we can't find a better way now. I have to."  It is not easy to avoid the dual radars of the Chinese and British fleets and fall into the water between them, which will be our only way out."sp; "Really?" "I'm afraid that's the case." The technician confirmed Bond's analysis, "You first fly above the radar, and then you have to wait until you free fall below the radar before you can open the parachute. Super  High-altitude low-open parachute skydiving was created for this purpose." "Understood?" After listening to the technician's words, Bond smiled demonstratively at Wade.  "What I just meant," the sergeant continued, "is that if this method is not the only feasible plan, then who would risk trying this behavior with a 40% chance of injury?" At this time, the pilot announced  : "There's still one minute left." "If I remember correctly, you've never done this before." Wade said.  "Don't worry, everything needs a first try." Bond said nonchalantly.  He adjusted the mask over his face and checked the calibrator again.  "But I believe that no one will try it a second time." The technician said, "Even if they were lucky enough not to drown the first time, they did not break their necks." "I feel very bad about this matter.  Okay." Wade said with a sad expression, "You're not going to sue us, are you?" Dr. Dave Grewalt was checking the GPS device.  Suddenly, he shouted excitedly: "Hey! Guys, come and see! I just found something! Hurry!" "Great! We must have mistaken the location! Let's go back to the base!" Wade was full of enthusiasm  shouted hopefully.  "No," Grivot said, staring at the screen, "we didn't get the location wrong. You see, the screen shows that this is where the ship thinks it is, and this is where it actually is. No,  What I just wanted to say is that I found a weird little thing. "Attention, there are still 30 seconds! Get into the skydiving position immediately!" the pilot said loudly.  The technical staff of the staff came to the parachute hatch with Bond. Wade next to him looked very panicked. He kept asking Grevot: "Go on, go on, what is that? What is it?" "  Do you see that island?" Dr. Grivot pointed at the screen.  "What does that mean?" "Its existence means that it is between the British and Chinese fleets, which is where Bond will jump" "Attention, there are still 10 seconds!" the pilot shouted.  The rear hatch of the plane opened, revealing a shocking sight outside the cabin.  Their position is so high that you can even see the curvature of the ground.  However, Wade was not too concerned about this spectacular sight at the moment.  "Damn it! Can you speak louder?" he shouted to Grivot.  "Although according to our technical measurements, this location is indeed within a country's territorial waters, it is not China's territorial waters, but Vietnam's!" "What? Vietnam?!" Wade exclaimed, "What do you mean?  Say, Bond is about to jump to Vietnam? Wait, does he have any British markings on him? " "It's on the parachute," the technician said.  After saying that, he thought about it again, and then continued: "There are also air bottles, flippers, oh, by the way, and drying suits, these are all" His voice gradually became a little unclear,  At this time, he was frowning tightly like Wade.  "Listen, I'm saying, you can't go!" Wade said to Bond almost in a pleading tone, "The Vietnamese are notoriously difficult to deal with, and we have no idea what they will do!  You will be captured, tortured, re-educated, and maybe even brainwashed!" At this time, the pilot started counting down: "3, 2, 1, 0!" Bond turned around and waved to Wade!  , and then stepped into the air gracefully.  Wade held his head with his hands and closed his eyes.  ¡°I bet they¡¯re going to send me to jail.¡± He groaned in pain.  The traditional method of landing from a high-altitude aircraft to a designated target on the ground is to take off from a low altitude.  The parachute would automatically deploy from a fixed lanyard at about 1,000 feet, but if this method were used, the paratrooper would be completely exposed to enemy fire during the descent.  However, if the aircraft can be raised to the highest altitude, the skydiver will drift too far from the preset landing zone.  Ultra-high-altitude low-open parachute skydiving is a solution to these difficult problems.  If it can fly at an altitude of 20,000 feet (6,096 meters) or even more than 20,000 feet above the target, the unladen aircraft can completely avoid radar.  After leaving the plane, skydivers rely on free fall motion and high-altitude dive techniques to keep themselves stable, therebyGuide yourself to a position suitable for opening the umbrella.  In this case, the parachute will be opened at a very dangerous low altitude, and the skydiver may land in an instant.  At this moment, Bond adopts a standard skydiving posture, with his arms crossed on his chest, and starts a free fall from the high-altitude escape layer.  He didn't feel any fear at all, and even felt a vague sense of strange excitement.  He had skydived many times before, but nothing could compare to this experience.  He was clearly aware that he was surrounded by danger.  The technical adviser of the staff had reminded him more than once that he might be frozen by the cold air in the air before entering the water, or he might break his legs or neck when his body hit the water.  So for him, timing is very critical.  The parachute must deploy at a very precise moment.  Otherwise, if he opens his parachute too early, the radar will detect its presence; if he opens his parachute too late, he may deviate from his original target and may even fall into the hands of the Vietnamese government.  If that were the case, he wouldn't get a second chance - ever.  Bond is wearing a DUI? CF200 dry suit. This suit is specially designed for extreme cold conditions. Its main material is double-layer flattened high-purity neoprene.  But even wearing this suit, Bond was still falling vertically faster and faster, feeling that the cold air like a sharp blade was about to pierce the cold-proof suit. This dry suit is much warmer than a wet suit. This is  Because, under normal circumstances, a person needs to wear several layers of underwear under a dry suit.  Bond is wearing a fiber suit this time, which provides a protective film of dry air outside the human skin, thus blocking the moist cold air. ?????In addition, this dry suit maintains its constant exposure function at any height.  The suit also comes with a pair of hard-soled boots, a neoprene hood and a pair of neoprene gloves. Bond's other standard equipment also includes a load-bearing cable pull that calculates the traction required by the backpack.  Combined Measurement System; Ocean Explorer buoyancy compensator made of nylon; two aluminum oxygen chambers containing 100 cubic feet of air compressed to 3200 psi  bottle; a "Daktronics Maximum Addition" calibrator for probing air demand systems; an undersea electrolytic compound mask with front and side straps and a wide field of view underneath; two-dimensional flat fins  ; and a permanent lux ¢Ù (¢Ù lighting unit.) air-integrated dive computer.  This device can obtain the depth of the diver's dive, thereby accurately calculating how long the diver can last before using a decompression device. It can also provide prompts to the divers and tell them how slowly they should use to float up.  speed.  Bond is also accustomed to wearing another item when diving, which is an old Rolex diver's jacket that has obvious traces of battle.  It has an extension built into the interior so that it can be worn over the rubber cuffs of a dry suit.  Bond watched the height gauge on his wrist carefully.  Its hands gradually point to "zero", like a watch turned upside down.  He glanced at the display of the GPS tracking device and saw a target with crosshairs on it.  There is also a flashing little red dot, shaking not far from the target.  Bond was rapidly free-falling through the air, trying to force his body as close to the target as possible.  The small, shaking red dot on the GPS display is slowly moving toward the center of the crosshairs.  When Bond broke through the atmospheric clouds, a skyscraper-shaped cloud passed straight past him, making a "whooshing" sound.  Suddenly, the clouds parted, revealing a dizzying passage. This mysterious passage led directly to the azure sea below.  Looking at the seawater from his current angle, it seemed as if the seawater was rushing toward him at a terrifying speed.  The parachute on Bond suddenly opened with a "bang". The force was really strong, causing him to shake a few times, and then Bond's feet touched the water.  His impact caused the seawater to form a huge fountain. Fortunately, there were no ships or people around it.  No one should be able to see him fall into the water.  The feeling of falling into the water was not bad, at least it was not as cold as the clouds above. Relatively speaking, the sea water gave Bond a straightforward comfort.  Bond quickly retracted the parachute rope in the water, and then continued to dive straight underwater.  The altitude gauge on my wrist read exactly minus 100 feet and was still going down.  Bond really wanted to do a somersault.  So, he used his back as a fulcrum to roll his body in the water. When he opened his two fins, he turned over nimbly.  After arranging his position, he continued to dive leisurely and opened the dump valve on the buoyancy compensator.  In fact, during the fall, he kept holding it with his hands.A valve allows him to add or release air from the compressed air at any time.  He breathed slowly, balancing the pressure in his ears every two feet.  Years of training have enabled him to control the amount of air in his lungs to an average level. Only in this way can he control the speed of his fall at will. At the same time, he can also perform short bursts of air through compressed air to maintain a medium buoyancy.  level.  Bond had drank a lot of water before parachuting.  Dehydration is one of the many symptoms associated with decompression syndrome during skydiving.  If scuba diving, there are four possible causes of dehydration.  First, most of the water in the compressed air is removed; second, it has a diuretic function when submerged in water for a long time, and the water in the diver's body can quickly turn into urine and fill the bladder; third, the water absorbed from the sea water  The salt will make you need more water; one last reason: wearing a heavy diving suit itself can easily lead to dehydration.  Bond kicked his legs hard, trying to push his body to swim downward.  He knew that he should try to reduce the movement of his arms to a minimum now, but this was not the most effective way to propel his body downward.  Bond has been underwater for a long time, and the dangers of ultra-high-altitude, low-open skydiving have long been forgotten by Bond.  Now he started to like the sport of diving.  The sea water in the South China Sea is different from the sea water in the Caribbean. It has a dark-looking color, the water quality is a bit murky, and the visibility is only about 6 meters.  However, underwater is a different scenery. Bond has always been in awe of the underwater world.  He often imagined that if he could go to space for a walk, he would probably feel the same way.  Humans have never thought of intervening in the undersea and space worlds, but now they have been conquered by humans.  The world under the sea was silent, and all Bond could hear was the sound of exhaust gas exhaling from his mouth-to-mouth respirator.  He was now a stranger in this world, and he felt a sense of loneliness that he had never felt before.  Although the first rule of diving is not to go into the water alone, Bond rarely has a companion with him when performing tasks.  Only during that vacation on the Caribbean coast, he often went diving with a Jamaican boy named Lomsay. At that time, they often caught some octopus and giant crabs on the bottom of the sea.  Lomsay is a very good chef, and Bond has wanted to hire him as his personal chef with a high salary on several occasions.  As Bond continued to swim, he found that for some unknown reason, he suddenly remembered his "home" in Jamaica.  He named her "Shy Girl" because the native plants would always hide her when they crawled around the house.  The faint string of "Logai" music floating from the other side of the hill (¢Ù Logai music, a popular music with a strong beat originating from the West Indies.), the "Blue Mountain" brand coffee,  And the kind and friendly people, everything, he missed so much.  No, he has to control his emotions. Bond finally woke up. Jamaica is far away from here. The most important thing now is to complete this task well.  Now, he must find the sunken ship, which should be not far around him.  If the assumptions he and M constructed earlier are wrong, then he will be the first to blame China for its actions.  He looked at the altimeter on his wrist again and found that he was almost 200 feet under the sea.  Bond went a little deeper. He looked down through the dark water, trying hard to search for traces of the sunken remains.  Suddenly, something like a coral reef or a pile of rocks appeared in front of him, and he slowly swam towards it so that he could see it better.  It turned out to be the nose part of a crashed MiG-21 aircraft.  Other parts and fragments of the fuselage were scattered on the surrounding seafloor.  Bond carefully inspected the damage to the plane and found that all the damage on the fuselage was caused by missile attacks.  It looks like the nose of the aircraft has been cut off from the fuselage.  The cut edge was jet black, and it was obvious that it had been burned when he fell.  However, Bond could not find the other half of the plane.  He swam into the nose from the rear, passed through the jagged metal edges, and reached the cockpit.  The pilot was still tightly bound to his seat by the seat belt as if he were flying an airplane, and his body had been swollen from the soaking.  His two arms were floating strangely on both sides of the cockpit, as if he was about to fly into the air.  His eyes had been pecked out by marine predators.  The windshield on the nose of the plane had long been smashed into pieces, and the dashboard looked completely destroyed.  Schools of fish also happily swam in and out of the broken glass holes. Apparently, they used the cockpit as a powerful place to hide from large marine creatures.  The discovery of this MiG aircraft once again confirmed Bond and M's hypothesis: the "Davishaar" has indeedIt sailed into Chinese waters and sank there.  There must be something that misled the commander and crew of the ship, making them believe that they had not deviated from the course.  If Kraft is really the mastermind and creator of this conspiracy, what is his motive?  Why does he want to start a war between China and Britain?  Are only some of these stories true?  Does he really want to sabotage the handover of Hong Kong?  Although Bond thought about this, he didn't want to believe it.  Yes, there must be other reasons.  Based on what he knew, Bond felt that Kraft was only interested in gaining money and power, and that he had never cared about politics.  Bond swam out of the cockpit in the direction he came from, and continued a thorough search along the seafloor.  Two lines of angler fish swam past him, and a school of pomfret passed over his head and swam toward a black shadow ahead.  This shadow looked like an undersea mountain rising from the bottom of the sea. When Bond gradually swam closer, he saw the outline of the entire shadow clearly. It was the original shape of a ship.     Finally found.  The British Royal Navy "Davishall" was beside him at the moment, resting precariously on the edge of a bottomless abyss under the sea.  This book is first published.  Your message, even just one (*^__^*), will become the motivation for the author's creation.
