Chapter 227: Frightened Island
The Apache armed helicopter that came to Stanford to urgently carry Stephen's team to the "Sea Shrimp 2 World" was a new generation of Apache-S01 armed helicopter that was just equipped with the US Sea and the Army in August last year.
As a follow-up model of the previous generation main fighter model AH-64 ‘Apache’, S01 actually had an additional transportation cabin that could carry six to eight people while the weapon load capacity remained unchanged, and its endurance increased from the original one thousand and several hundred kilometers to 3,800 kilometers.
With the overall design changes of less than 30, such essential improvements in carrying and cruise strikes can be achieved. According to the official response of the US military and helicopter manufacturer Boeing, it is derived from the use of a new and powerful engine.
However, rumors have been made that the transmission and improvement of the Apache-S01 helicopter power is entirely derived from the use of a new "lightweight material". When it comes to the secret combination of the "S" and "shrimp" (shrimp) in the new sequence number "S01" used by the new generation of Apache, it makes people think a lot.
Based on this, it is speculated that the United States may have begun to reap technological leaps brought about by the collision of civilizations from the development of another world.
Zhang Lisheng saw these messages on the Internet, so he climbed into the narrow cabin of the helicopter. He touched the metal wall of the cabin curiously, but didn't say much.
Putting the metal box filled with '01 blending reagent' at feet and leaning against the corner of the seat placed horizontally on the cabin, the young man asked: "Major Martin, will we fly directly to the 'Lobster 2 World' in a while?"
"Oh, sir, we will go directly to 'Shrimp B1 Island' this time." Martin, who was sitting opposite the youth, looked at him and nodded.
As the officer spoke, the Apache helicopter began to slowly take off, tilting up and flying towards the distance in the dazzling sunshine.
"Col. Martin, this is my experimental assistant and 'collaborator', and I am also the graduate student Zhang Lisheng, a genius biologist." After discovering the curiosity in the officer's eyes, Stephen introduced.
"Oh, hello Mr. Zhang Lisheng."
"Hello Major, thank you for the bad answer you just gave, letting me know that we must stay in this small cabin for ten hours." Zhang Lisheng looked at the vast sea of clouds outside through the small window of the cabin, which looked like a lunch box, and said casually.
Seeing that the young man who spoke casually on the other side seemed to have a very special status in front of Professor Stephen, which usually means that he may have a certain background. Martin smiled apologetically, "Sorry Mr. Li Sheng."
I also want to invite you and Professor Stephen and Dr. Charlene to New York in Mihang first class, take a good rest, and then take a cruise ship with the sea breeze and easily go to the island of another world.
But the current situation is really too…”
"Aren't there five large warship guards in the gathering ground?
Besides, although the "Sea Shrimp Island B1" has an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, judging from the fact that the natives bartered, it should not be a narrow terrain, and the species distribution is very uniform. In theory, even if there is "animal migration", it will not be very obvious.
What kind of special situation makes people panic there?"
Zhang Lisheng's question stunned Mark. He looked at the young man carefully for a while again and suddenly asked: "Sir, it sounds like you know much more about 'Sea Shrimp Island B1' than me. Have you been there?"
"I have been to this as a 'future investor' once, and it was really a beautiful island, and of course it was very dangerous.
As a biologist and businessman, I was deeply impressed by the fact that I had just two hours of visiting.”
"It's amazing how much you can learn in two hours."
"Major, I think it's even more surprising that there are hundreds of new cowboys who are willing to stay there after two hours of understanding. "
"Oh, Mr. Li, so they are now savoring and becoming panicked." The major shrugged and answered the youth's question cleverly, without saying anything more.
Seeing that the officer avoided answering the questions he asked, Zhang Lisheng stopped asking questions, and curled his body at the corner of the airport, closed his eyes to calm down.
I don’t know how long he was awakened by a gentle female voice, “Li Sheng, Li Sheng, it’s time to get up and eat something.”
The young man opened his eyes and saw Shalin standing in front of him with his waist bent, holding a bag of biscuits and a tube of soft soda.
"Oh, thank you Dr. Shalin," Zhang Lisheng took the food, tore open the packaging bag, and stuffed the biscuits into his mouth in pieces. "Major Martin, is there any ice coke on the plane?"
"Sorry, Mr. Li Sheng, the carrying capacity of this helicopter has been designed to the point where the theory is feasible. There is really no way to install another refrigerator for you." Mark replied amused and crying.
"That's really unfortunate." Zhang Lisheng put the last piece of biscuit in his mouth and looked at the sky outside the window. "Major, it should be afternoon now. How many hours have you been flying?"
"It's almost halfway through..." Mark noticed Zhang Lisheng's amazing eating behavior at this time, "Hell, Mr. Lisheng, you, you eat dry food for war preparation, the calories of this biscuit..."
"Major, I am a biologist and a businessman, but also a martial artist.
Like us, we use mysterious methods to exercise our bodies and temper our consciousness to achieve a warrior who can burst out amazing power far beyond ordinary people's imagination during combat. The energy consumption is amazing and we will be tempered to the depths. Not to mention a few pieces of dry food for combat preparations, even a whole pig can swallow it.
Just ask, are there any such cookies?"
"Bizzards, of course there are also biscuits," Mark pulled open the material storage box under his butt and integrated it with the seat, took out a few bags of biscuits and threw them to Zhang Lisheng, "As much as you want."
"Thank you enough. I'm not a 'master' who can eat a cow in one meal." Zhang Lisheng tore open the packaging bag, ate four or five bags of biscuits, and continued to close his eyes and rest.
Time continues to pass by, and in a blink of an eye helicopter has hovered over the inland sea of New York. As the sky approaches, Apache finally passes through the sea area where the twisted space is.
If you want to drive the witch insect to successfully travel through the "world", the witch insect must be within the range of the witch's eyes and cross to the "different world". Zhang Lisheng's sensing of the dragon and lizard insects left in the human world was almost cut off. Fortunately, the spiritual technique can still be used.
The young man woke up automatically this time and looked at the dim sunset outside the window expressionlessly. "It should be almost at 'Shaixia Island B1'."
"Yes, Mr. Li Sheng, your intuition is very accurate. At most, we will reach the destination in half an hour." Mark nodded and said.
Zhang Lisheng was silent and said nothing. He listened to the sound of the helicopter's "thump..." until Apache flew over the natural port of the island of another world, threw five warships behind him, and landed in the bustling gathering place of humans.
After more than three months of development, the area on the west side of the "Shaixiao Island B1" that has been open to the public for a long time has expanded by at least four or five times the area.
From a bird's eye view from a high place, a rough look here is completely equivalent to an ancient city. The population is calculated as at least 20,000 American citizens.
Areas with different functions such as commercial areas, industrial areas, residential areas, etc. have been spontaneously separated and formed, and from the layout, it looks like a thriving scene.
However, if you look closely at the faces of those pedestrians who look terrified and restless in the medieval market, you can find that the entire "gathering place" is now shrouded in a panic atmosphere.
Walking off the plane, taking a breath of fresh air from another world, looking at the indigenous dwarfs all over the ground, Zhang Lisheng murmured: "This gathering place has developed very quickly. In just over three months, it actually swallowed a large piece of the jungle..."
"Not only that, the construction of a 'satellite settlement' around the gathering place has long been put on the agenda. If it weren't for this accident, the first phase of the project might have been underway." Mark smiled and turned his attention to Professor Stephen, "Professor, General Luo Lin and other experts are already waiting for you."
"Let's go over immediately, you can lead the way..." Staring at the strange creatures in the hands of the dwarfs of the other world, Stephen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, "Well, I have a small request. Can I collect all the samples of the other world in this gathering place as soon as possible? If the military wants to know the answer, it must give us scientists enough materials.
After meeting General Luo Lin, I need to go and see the laboratory you prepared for me immediately. If you lack any instruments, you can transport them from my laboratory in Stanford. I want to start work as soon as possible."
“Professor, you are the first to ask me to convey it to my superiors as soon as possible, and it is probably not a big problem;
The second request is that after meeting the general, I will do it immediately. Please come with me." Mark nodded and led the three of them along the congested streets of another city and walked into a square cement room with flags with the American national emblem "Bald Eagle" hanging on the beam.
There was only one office desk and a computer room, several non-commissioned officers were on duty. When they saw Mark walking in, they stood attentively and said, "Hello, sir."
"I was ordered to bring biologist Professor Stephen and his assistant from Stanford. The general was waiting to see the professor." Mark responded with a military salute, took out a document from his pocket, and handed it to the sergeant responsible for the safety of the bunker exit.
The tall black official took the order and looked carefully, then verified it on the computer, cancelled the order, and recycled the order in front of Mark with a shredder, "Professor Stephen, welcome to 'Shrimp B1 Island'.
