After more than an hour of discussion, the heated atmosphere gradually calmed down. At this moment, Zhao Yao, still wearing a flight suit, walked into the venue. Although his face was dusty, his eyes were still firm. He walked up to the commander
, stood at attention and performed a standard military salute.

The commander stood up and returned the greeting, then patted Zhao Yao's arm:
"You're so good, boy!"
Zhao Yao took out a small bottle from his jacket and handed it over:
"There was really something in the sky. When I was climbing, the engine had another foreign object inhalation alarm. I made an emergency stop in the air to avoid complete engine failure. When passing through the clouds, I opened the speed brake for a few seconds. After returning,
I found something on the hinge of the speed brake, I scraped it off and put it in a bottle, it might be useful."
The commander took the bottle with admiration in his eyes, but his voice was full of reproach and said:
"You boy, you are so brave. You dare to open the speed brake even though both engines are shut down! Okay, go and rest. The information you detected is very timely. We are discussing countermeasures, and you may have another mission tomorrow."
Zhao Yao found a chair nearby and sat down:
"I'll just listen here, and maybe I can come up with some ideas. Now you all know the situation in the western plateau. If we don't get it right, we won't have much time. Then we'll have plenty of time to rest."
The commander stopped trying to persuade him and returned to his position. The staff officer put the manuscripts handed over by experts in various fields into the hands of the commander with a solemn expression.
Although there is a general plan for the glacier hanging in mid-air, people still face two specific problems. One is how to find the location of the Fuyao base on the top of the glacier that has been piled up for more than 3,000 meters.

The second is how to deliver 120 nuclear warheads, superconducting batteries, simple broad-gauge trains, gel materials and necessary engineering machinery, which are measured in tons, to the edge of the glacier more than 2,000 kilometers away in the shortest possible time.
.
"There is no satellite positioning now. We can only determine a range in hundreds of kilometers by relying on the compass, sextant and inertial navigation. This is very important for accurately finding the bodies buried more than 3,000 meters under the Fuyao base.
The train cable distribution plant is like looking for a needle in a haystack!" the staff officer said anxiously.
The geological engineer cleared his throat:
"This problem can be solved. We have an echo detector in geological exploration. The principle is similar to sonar. When shock waves are created on the ice, the instrument can detect the echo and image it. As long as we have enough detection in the general area
Click and you can quickly find out where the power distribution plant is."
The drilling engineer also said:
"As long as the precise location is found, we also have several sets of equipment that can drill to 3,000 meters. They can be disassembled and transported by air. Drilling on ice will be much easier than on rock. We only need to drill small holes and use blasting.
Or use hot melt to expand the borehole and allow people to go down into the well."
The commander thought for a moment and issued the order:
"Immediately gather a group of soldiers in the army, bring instruments and radios, and set up temporary signal bridge stations along the way. Use propeller transport aircraft to airdrop them into the general airspace and carry out search work!"
"Yes!" Just when the officer was about to turn around and leave, the commander stopped him.
"This mission is extremely dangerous, and the soldiers must be truthfully told about the mission conditions and risks. Let them participate voluntarily. This kind of nearly suicidal mission, deception and orders will only make the mission fail. Recruit volunteers throughout the army,
This time tomorrow, people must be put on the plane!"

"yes!"
After the officer left, the commander glanced at everyone working:
"Now we have to find a way to get hundreds of tons of stuff to the edge of the glacier more than 2,000 kilometers away in the shortest possible time!"
The staff officer looked troubled:
"We don't have heavy transport planes now, and the railway line to the northwest is also broken. If we only rely on military trucks for transportation, even if failure is not taken into account, it will take at least five years from loading equipment to crossing the mountains and crossing the desert to reach the designated location.
day time.
After arriving, we still have to assemble equipment and use simple rail cars to place nuclear warheads evenly over a distance of more than 700 kilometers, and there is no time at all!"
While everyone was whispering and discussing fast transportation methods, Zhao Yao, who was sitting in the corner, said:
"When I was in the aviation regiment, I heard our old regiment leader talk about it. In the 1980s, a large-scale ground-effect aircraft was built in the northwest. I heard from him that it could carry dozens of tons of cargo.
Flying at an altitude of more than ten meters and at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, if that thing is still there, we can save a lot of time."
The commander was startled and immediately ordered to the staff:
"Go to the confidential office immediately and get the confidential documents related to the 'Flower-tailed Pigeon', and be quick!"

"yes!"
The commander looked at Zhao Yao with twinkling eyes:
"You reminded me! There is indeed such a project. People of my generation and my military rank all know about it. In the 1960s, Soviet Russia launched a ground-effect aircraft project code-named Project 903. The purpose of research and development was to serve as
Used by large-scale high-speed maritime anti-ship platforms, Project 903 has a more famous name - Caspian Sea Monster.
At that time, we were attacked from the north and the south, and our country was vast, so it was a big problem to mobilize troops quickly. According to the capabilities at that time, we would not be able to build large transport aircraft in a short time, but we had plains and oceans that connected the north and the south.
Ground-effect aircraft with powerful carrying capacity and the ability to fly at high speed over plains or water at an altitude of more than ten meters became our best choice at that time.
We obtained the 903 engineering drawings that have been discontinued through special channels. We named her 'Flower-tailed Pigeon'. The development direction is to transport anti-ships instead of Soviet Russia. In order to keep it confidential, the development base is located in the northwest, and the northwest is vast and flat.
The Gobi Desert also serves as a testing ground.
A total of four prototypes were built, three of which underwent flight testing. Later, due to various reasons, the project was stopped. However, the prototype was still stored somewhere in the outskirts of Xiadu. Although the city of Xiadu was destroyed, it was still in a warehouse far away from the city.
It should be fine, we will know the specific location of the warehouse when the staff brings the confidential documents!"
"If you calculate it this way, we can save at least two days, which is enough time!" Xia Lan said excitedly.
"Can these gadgets still be used after being stored for so long? And Xiadu must have been hit by an electromagnetic pulse storm. Won't they be damaged?" an engineer asked doubtfully.
The commander smiled:

"More than ten years ago, I looked through the files of the 'Flower-tailed Pigeon' out of curiosity. She was completely a product of Soviet Russia's violent aesthetics, with a rough appearance, a somewhat crude structure, and all electronic equipment was made of tubes.
This design does bring trouble to operation, but the advantage is that it is very durable. Let alone electromagnetic pulse storms, even if you throw a grenade into the cabin, it can still fly into the sky."
The staff officer trotted back to the conference room holding dusty confidential documents. The map clearly marked the location of the warehouse where the "Flower-tailed Pigeon" was located. The excitement on everyone's faces gradually turned into confusion and disappointment:
"The warehouse is indeed located on the outskirts of Xiadu. The advantage is that it can reduce the mileage of road transportation, but it is still a long way from the flat desert. The ground effect aircraft can only fly at an altitude of less than 20 meters. How do we move the ground
Get it over with an aircraft!" the staff officer said in confusion.
Zhao Yao took out a yellowed black-and-white photo from the file. It was a photo of a complete ground-effect aircraft covered with tarpaulin and stored in a warehouse:
"Since our seniors can fly her here and store her, I can fly her out again!"
