Chapter 550 Substitute
At this moment, the atmosphere on the ice cap had dropped to freezing point. Sterk seemed to feel that the temperature control system of his diving suit had been malfunctioning, and he couldn't help but shivered.
The content of the task is very simple, just to turn off something. They have done similar simulation training countless times in the virtual world and in the real world. They have encountered terrifying mutant giant sharks and thousands of piranhas, but such strange situations have never happened.
Sturk even for a moment suspected that he was in a virtual game world, not reality, and all of these were just a program bug.
Just as Sterk was planning to go to the supply box to get a bag of instant coffee with stimulant added, a violent beep suddenly sounded on the ice cap!
"Damn it! What's going on?"
The beeping was extremely decibels and frequency, as if it could pierce the eardrum directly into the brain. Everyone couldn't help but cover their ears. Erin and Jessica, two female soldiers, simply picked up the cold-proof clothes on the ground and wrapped them around their heads.
It was the detection instruments that made this buzzing sound. Sterk endured the torture of the noise and ran to the instruments. But at this time, he was shocked to find that all the monitoring signals on the screen had been lost, and only a large number of white snowflakes were rolling continuously.
"Extremely strong electromagnetic interference! The intensity of electromagnetic interference in this sea area has increased countless times in an instant!" Leighton spoke. He is not only an excellent soldier, but also a professional computer engineer.
Hearing Leiden say this, Sterk simply picked up the rifle that was placed on the side and smashed the equipment that kept making huge beeping sounds with the buttstock. Then everyone put down their hands covering their ears.
"What should we do now?" Letter asked Sterk, and the other eight people were all looking at Sterk - now the first and second teams have lost contact, and due to strong electromagnetic interference, their communication with the Greenland headquarters has also been interrupted, and the highest command on the scene fell into Sterk's hands as the captain of the third team.
"We..." Sterk bit his lips hard, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone is ready to dive. Our mission is not over yet. It is time for the substitute team to be in the current situation."
Everyone looked at each other a few times, but no one said anything, and they all began to organize their equipment silently.
On this mission, they already had the awareness of death, but sometimes, the unknown is often more terrifying than death.
Sterk found a camera and put it in an airtight transparent waterproof bag - the tail end of the waterproof bag is connected to this small capsule. After the ice cap melts, the waterproof bag containing the camera falls into the sea, and the small capsule will melt and release the orange compressed airbag inside. The huge orange airbag floats on the sea surface. In addition, the camera's built-in signal generator can allow the league's subsequent troops to successfully recycle the camera.
The function of this camera is equivalent to the "black box" that is necessary on planes in the old era.
The camera itself is also specially made, with a military-grade metal shell, which is enough to withstand high temperature roasting of thousands of degrees and heavy pressure of more than ten tons. Strong acids, strong alkalis and various corrosive liquids cannot cause much damage to it.
Stulk turned on the camera, squatted in front of the camera, and after brewing for a while, he began to say:
"The mission started very smoothly. We successfully arrived at the designated sea area and accurately determined the coordinates of the target. There was no accident during the process of condensing the ice sheet."
"At 10:15 am, we boarded the ice sheet, and the 'u plan' officially started to be implemented. At 10:45 am, the first team and the second team began to dive."
"At eleven o'clock, the first team and the second team arrived at a depth of 370 meters after fifteen minutes of diving. Here, I had my last routine communication with the captain of the first team."
"At 11:00:4, the first team and the second team broke through 400 meters. At 11:00, they arrived at the waters of 450 meters and 450 meters. But at this time, we tried to contact them, but received no response."
"Each equipment is operating normally, the first team and the second team are also in a constant dive, but we cannot resume communication with them anyway, and they do not seem to feel any abnormality, and the mission continues."
"At 11:12, an abnormal situation occurred. Irving, a member of the first team, had an abnormal physiological state. His systolic blood pressure exceeded 320 mmHg and his heart rate exceeded 290 times per minute, but his body temperature dropped from 36:8 degrees Celsius to 17 degrees Celsius within five seconds."
"Ten seconds later, Owen's physiological signs disappeared, and we judged it as death."
"But the members of the First Team and the Second Team did not seem to have noticed Irving's death. They were still maintaining their original speed and continued to dive straight down, and the communication between us and them still did not recover."
"At 11:15, we suffered severe electromagnetic interference, two-thirds of our electronic devices were paralyzed, and communication with the headquarters was interrupted. We lost all information and tracking data, and the hard disk used to store data was also cleared."
"At 11:16, as interim commander, I decided to lead the third team to dive and continue to implement the 'u plan'. If we don't come back..."
Speaking of this, Sterk suddenly raised his head and looked at the other nine people - I have to say that Jessica and Erin have really good figures. Every time they change into tight diving suits, it is difficult for several other men in the team to look away from them.
"What else do you have to leave behind? It's your last chance." Sterk pointed to the camera in front of him.
"Aren't we written all our suicide notes before we set out?" Liete forced a smile, but his face was not very good-looking.
"I hope you can find this video, but if you find this video, it means we are all dead, so I still hope to bring this video back by myself at that time... Finally, I wish us good luck."
After saying that, Stulk turned off the camera and placed the waterproof bag on the table.
Strong electromagnetic interference will not always exist. As long as the interference disappears, the built-in signal generator of the camera will make it as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the dark.
