Chapter 140 The sixth phase of the exploration plan
The next evening.
The local TV station in Suhong City broadcasted a noteworthy news.
"Oil company's oil company's oil disappears overnight, leaving a piece of gold on the spot"
The female host on TV said:
"According to the clues provided by Manager Liu of the oil transfer warehouse of X Petroleum Company to our station, last night, for some reason, the liquid level of the aviation kerosene in the No. 3 oil storage tank suddenly dropped rapidly, and hundreds of tons of oil disappeared..."
"The next morning, Master Sun, a patrolman of the oil warehouse, picked up a piece of yellow metal behind the No. 3 oil storage tank. After the metal detector, it was a piece of high-purity gold with a weight of 4.86 kilograms. In addition, a few words were found on the oil storage tank... Master Sun handed the yellow metal to the oil warehouse manager and immediately reported the abnormality in the No. 3 oil tank."
Facing the reporter's camera, Manager Liu said with confusion:
"This matter is very strange. Our monitoring equipment did not see any abnormalities. At that time, I was very panicked. Has hundreds of tons of oil been taken? After the above accountability, we might be laid off, but nothing happened that night. From the monitoring, we can also see that no tanker truck came in to pump oil. Moreover, the instrument of the No. 3 oil storage tank showed that in just ten minutes, hundreds of tons of oil quickly disappeared, and our high-pressure oil pump could not pump oil efficiently."
"Where did the oil go? Did it miss it from somewhere?" the reporter asked.
"Impossible! Our oil storage tank sealing level is very high, and we have installed an oil leakage detection device around the oil depot. Once the odor concentration of the oil in the air exceeds a certain value, an alarm will be issued immediately. Hundreds of tons of oil leaked at the same time. This situation is unimaginable, and an evacuation alarm will be issued across the city." Manager Liu shook his head vigorously.
"Then Manager Liu, where do you think the oil is going? The three words 'buy money' on the oil storage tank, and the piece of gold Master Sun picked up, are there any direct connections with this oil loss incident?" the reporter asked again.
"I have no idea."
Manager Liu frowned and said in confusion: "I have managed this oil depot for more than ten years and have never encountered such a thing. That piece of gold is real, worth more than 2.7 million yuan. The oil we lost is about 700,000 yuan. It is indeed enough to buy oil, but I don't know why the oil buys oil and how did he take away the oil?"
"Did you call the police? What did the police say?"
"We did not call the police. We first reported the situation to the superior department. Two experts were sent over to investigate and then went back. The bricks were also taken away."
The reporter was surprised and said, "Isn't it better to hand over the bricks to the police? There may be information such as fingerprints on the bricks, which can help the police solve the case."
Manager Liu did not answer this question, but instead looked at the reporter with a caring gaze.
Young, too young, and even if the most professional experts do such things as magical science and science cannot explain, the police can solve the case. If it cannot be solved in a short time, the gold bricks as evidence must not be kept on the police. Besides, even if the case is solved and the suspect is caught, will the gold brick still belong to them?
So the leader above called him to remind him not to disturb the police for the time being, and to investigate it carefully.
But Manager Liu felt that this was not safe, and he was even more afraid that he would become an abandoned child and take responsibility for the disappearance of a hundred tons of oil (usually someone must take responsibility for such a major mistake). He had no choice but to disclose it to the media so that no one could speak for him when he got it.
soon,
After media reports, "The Mystery of the Disappearance of Hundred Tons of Oil" has caused some comments online.
Netizens have speculated that some believe that the oil depot managers were stolen and concealed the situation; some believe that it was a supernatural incident or a mysterious alien civilization.
Not long after, this incident became a hot topic of controversy, attracting reports and reprints from dozens of media:
"Who did the missing 100 tons of oil?"
"The Mystery of the Disappearance of Oil, Alien Civilization is by Our Side?"
"Getting toward Science's Oil Thieves"
...
On the other side.
The world of your own.
These days, Xu Ming did a lot of fun no matter what happened outside.
His figure was everywhere above the grassland in the middle of the lake.
“wow~”
"Woo roo roo ~"
"I want to fly higher and faster!"
“The sky is my home, I am IRON MEN”
Cool!
It feels so good ~
From the moment when he put on his flying backpack and hovered steadily in the air for the first time, Xu Ming fell in love with the feeling of flying.
That kind of freedom can gallop in any direction, whether it is front, back, left, left, right, up, down, or any direction, without any obstacles. If you want to be fast, you can be slow, you can be slow. If you look up, you will be blue sky, and if you look down, you will be green earth, as if you put everything into your heart from the perspective of God.
This is flying!
Even if you only experience it once, you will feel that you can't go back at all, as if you have evolved from an amphibian to an amphibian in the air and air, which has been upgraded to a level of improvement.
"I kind of understand why pilots are the bravest people. Even if they are fighter pilots from a weak country, when facing the invasion of foreign enemies, even if they are too many enemies and are few and have no life, they will take off to meet the enemy and move forward. The sky gives the weak courage and freedom to make people fearless. Even if blood is sprinkled in the sky, they will die in a romantic way without regrets."
The courage of every flyer should not be questioned.
Of course, having courage does not mean you can commit suicide. Some pilots are too arrogant, too self-righteous, or want to show off their skills and be cool, so they forget that flying is an extremely dangerous activity and accidentally kill themselves.
After two days of use, Xu Ming was very excited at the beginning after mastering the skills of using the Martin-3 flying backpack, but he did not forget it. The control behind it became more and more stable and the speed would not be very fast.
Because during the specific exploration, he had to concentrate on scanning the ground and use it both at the same time. In order to see the grass and trees below, the speed should not be too fast. The cruise speed is up to 30 kilometers per hour, unless the scene below is too single, such as the same tree, it will accelerate.
All in all, everything serves outdoor exploration.
In addition, Xu Ming made a very surprising discovery.
That is, in the portable world, since the gravity coefficient is only 70% of that of Blue Star and the air oxygen content is high, the maximum range of Martin-3 flight backpack is greatly improved after being filled with 40 liters of oil.
It can stay empty for up to 40 minutes on Blue Star.
However, the weight of the portable world has decreased, fuel consumption has decreased, and more sufficient combustion. Under multiple factors, the battery life has been extended to 70 minutes, an increase of 75%.
Even if Xu Ming occasionally does some actions that consume a lot of energy, he can easily stay in the air for 60 minutes.
Xu Ming was very satisfied with this battery life, because flying was also a very physical and energy-consuming thing. He could land on the ground every hour to rest and replenish fuel.
As for another type of Frank-2S-type flight pedal, the pedal is far from the center of gravity of the human body and the operation is indeed complicated. Xu Ming fell more than once and barely could take off, but he did not dare to do too violent movements. The difficulty of getting started is much higher than that of the Martin-3, and his battery life has also improved, but it has only been increased from less than half an hour to 45 minutes.
Xu Ming decided to use the Martin-3 model for a period of time to explore, and then based on the proficiency of using the Frank-2S flight pedal, then look at which one is better to use.
"Okay, the preparation time is too long. The sixth phase of exploration plan can be started right away."
Chapter completed!
