Chapter 487 A new fleet
The work of finding a new world has been going on, but unfortunately, the situation is not optimistic.
Lu Yiming has never received a notice from the military and has also talked with relevant experts from the Reconnaissance Brigade in his spare time.
That is, there is no good news.
It has been so many months since the drone flies in the sky every day, but still has not found a new continent. It makes people think a lot. Could it be that there is no new continent in this sea area?
But it should be. In theory, the probability of encountering a new world after the space is transferred is still very high. Is the theory wrong?
Or it is in a very far away place... this distance exceeds the limit of human reconnaissance.
Faced with people's questions, a corresponding investigative expert reported his work: "In this sea area, due to the particularity of geology, there is a strong magnetic field in a certain direction."
"These magnetic fields will obviously interfere with the normal operation of the drone. We have lost four military drones in the past three months. The distance we explored is only 2,000 kilometers, or even less than a point."
"Obviously, this distance is not enough..."
"So I think that the New World is not there, but we have not found it yet. We believe that the New World is likely to exist in the direction of the distribution of strong magnetic fields... It is likely that some supernatural phenomenon that broke out in the New World, triggering this strong magnetic field."
"These drones, affected by the magnetic field, lost their signals, fell into the sea and could never fly back."
Listening to his description, the conference room gradually became quiet.
There is no global positioning system on the Yanghe River. After losing the signal, the drone is indeed easily lost contact.
The reconnaissance team lost four drones in a row, and the heartache was so heartbroken.
With the increase in Kunlun Mountain's production capacity, drones can now be manufactured in small batches, but their production capacity is still quite low.
The funds given to them are quite limited, and they can replenish one flight in a month. This is not the case that you can lose it at will.
Therefore, the investigation has been unsatisfactory.
The expert continued: "We have released some reconnaissance balloons. The cost of hot air balloons is relatively low, and it is no big problem if they are lost. As a result, after the influence of the distant airflow, all of these balloons flew in one direction... It is still difficult to detect the direction full of magnetic fields."
"Also, the balloon's flight speed is too slow. Due to the influence of the magnetic field, it is difficult to transmit long-distance signals, so it is difficult to detect places thousands of kilometers away on a large scale."
"However, according to calculations, there is indeed a relatively high probability that a new continent will exist in the opposite direction of the airflow. The probability of success is at least 70%... But it is unknown how far away we are."
The temperature in the New World will have some subtle differences from the temperature above the Yang River. Under the differences in hot and cold, long-term airflow will easily form.
Lu Yiming couldn't help frowning and raised his hand and asked, "Is the 70% probability of a New World? It's really not low. So what do you mean... humans must fly an aircraft to search for the magnetic field area where there is a possible New World?"
"I'm afraid... it's true. Humans can fly planes and respond to various complex situations."
"This work must be as soon as possible."
The time left for people is only three months, and the mobility of the shelter is not good. It takes 8 kilometers per hour to move 17,300 kilometers in three months.
This number sounds quite large, but compared to the vast Yanghe River, I don’t know how many large territory it is, but it’s just a number that cannot be as small as it can be. Once I go to the detour, even if I know the location of the New World, I may not be able to arrive in time.
A wave of discussion sounded in the conference room, and people quickly made a resolution.
"The 70% chance of discovering a new continent, I think I can take a risk." The person who spoke was Colonel Dailun. "Our anti-gravity aircraft has matured a lot and improved many times. The pilots also have more test flight experience. As long as they do not encounter space tide phenomena, the risk is not too great."
"Flying at high altitudes, you can explore the area of 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers in a straight line in three hours."
"Everyone, the space tide can also be predicted." Professor Liu Qingshan, who is in charge of this area, said: "The recent Yin World Corridor has been relatively stable, and we can make a certain degree of prediction on this. The probability of an accident in one day is very low, less than one in ten thousand."
"The signal radar of Kunlun Mountain will also be launched in all directions, striving to guide the aircraft with maximum power!"
Several other experts said: "The corresponding electromagnetic field protection measures will be implemented by our team. We can use some means to avoid magnetic field interference as much as possible."
Ding Yuan nodded, "According to your opinion, you can send a pilot to explore. However, don't force it too much. No matter what, we have explored other directions, and the shelter can only run there."
"During the flight, we encountered danger and returned in time. We still have more than two months, although it is not enough, but it is not too short. So there is no need to force it, so the plane was destroyed and the people were killed."
"Yes."
"Oh, by the way, everyone. There is another thing to consider." Lu Yiming added: "In that unknown continent, possible disasters are electromagnetic fields or similar disasters. Should we make some preparations in advance for our refuge?"
"If you arrive in the New World and find that all the electronic instruments are unavailable, it would be awful. It would be nice to prepare early."
Everyone discussed this issue in detail.
In fact, there are quite a lot of ways to prevent electromagnetic waves, such as radiation-proof coatings, or Faraday cages, etc., and thick enough cement can also prevent radiation. The project volume is relatively large, and if you want to defend the entire shelter, you have to allocate a fund.
Although the current industrial capacity has been greatly improved, it is still difficult to face so many important projects.
"Then... do some early work first. When the investigation results come out, more funds will be allocated to deal with this matter." Ding Yuan finally made the decision.
After this discussion, the Exploration Working Group for Anti-Gravity Aircraft was officially established...
There is no shortage of real warriors among contemporary soldiers. Every soldier is precious. This is not only because life is precious, but because it represents the true courage and glory of mankind.
There is a 70% chance of discovering a new continent. Even if the "New World" is likely to have disasters, people still want to overcome the difficulties above, settle down on the new world, and reproduce.
Yes, to rebuild a new civilization, you don’t have to worry about the Yanghe River... Isn’t this the dream of most people?
"Please ensure that the task is completed!" Captain Li Yao of the Reconnaissance Brigade issued a military order.
The soldiers were moving very quickly. After the meeting, several teams immediately completed a series of electromagnetic field protection measures against the plane.
At six o'clock in the morning of the third day, while the weather was clear, three anti-gravity aircraft set sail from the deck of Kunlun Mountain and flew towards the distant southeast direction...
The sound of "rumbling" sounds shook the sky. Even if it flew far away, these sounds were still echoing over the Yang River...
This is not good for supersonic aircraft. The noise is too loud during flight and there is no way to conceal its existence.
The so-called stealth aircraft refers to an aircraft that cannot be discovered by radar. It is not optical stealth. It can still be seen through the naked eye and can be heard through sound.
Of course, during reconnaissance, you can also fly at high altitude and low speeds, so that the sound is not very obvious.
"I hope they will return safely." Lu Yiming looked at the plane that was leaving for a long time.
Six hours passed quickly...
Amid a treacherous discussion, the planes successfully returned.
The New World was not found in a while, and the scouts brought back an amazing news...
One of the planes discovered a new fleet!
Another civilization was discovered ahead!
"What...what?" Li Yao, the captain of the investigation team, was the first to hear the news, and was stunned for a second or two. After a long time, he turned red and asked loudly: "Another refuge?!"
True or fake?
Lu Yiming, who was standing aside, was also shocked.
The pilot hurriedly said, "No, it's not. It's different from what you imagined... It's not a modern refuge, but an ancient fleet! There are 15 large sailboats, each sailboat, a tonnage of one or two thousand tons. They seem to be settled on an island... The camera captured the humans above the island, which should be humans. At a height of 10,000 meters, it's difficult for the naked eye to really distinguish them, but the camera captured the traces of these humans."
"The area of this small island is not very large, it is only 400 hectares...4 square kilometers. I read that right, it is indeed a small island! The small island in the Yang River!"
The investigator's face turned red and excited.
"It's not another refuge..." Lu Yiming sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
But soon, he felt curious again.
Although this matter is very strange, the water depth of Yanghe has always been around 3,000 meters, and even a shallow place is a depth of one thousand meters, but now a small island suddenly comes... it seems a bit strange.
"Is the shallow water area? It's not an artificial island, right?"
"It's not very similar. The 400 hectares of project volume is too large and it is not something that ancient civilizations can accomplish." Li Yao sat on a chair and magnified the image taken by the plane 10 times. There is no so-called Yanghe dividing line near this small island.
As for the humans photographed, they are very vague. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be reclaiming farmland on...the island? Farming?
