Chapter 670: Search

With a bit of luck, Qingzhong Yang called the No. 7 Institute, hoping that they hadn't handed over the Thor's Hammer to the escorting fleet, but the deputy director over there said: "The escorted ship? It has already been sent away, that is. The young man who came last time, I confirmed his identity before letting him go."

"How many propulsion tubes did they take away?" Qingzhong Yang asked hurriedly.

"According to the original plan, there are eight propulsion tubes."

Qingzhong Yang's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. The eight propulsion tubes are one-third of all his propulsion tubes. If these propulsion tubes are really taken away...

A few minutes later, Qing Zhongyang still hadn't contacted the ship escorting the "Thor's Hammer", but he had already confirmed that the "Thor's Hammer" had indeed been snatched away.

But he still doesn't know which link went wrong.

The person responsible for arranging the escort was Old Chu, so it was impossible for Old Chu to betray, and the young officer he sent to be responsible for the escort was also a person close to him, and his loyalty was unquestionable.

But something went wrong under almost impossible circumstances, Qingzhong Yang almost beat his chest, but now is not the time to be upset, the most important thing is to get back the lost "Thor's Hammer" as soon as possible.

"This child..." Old Chu sighed, not knowing what to say, whether it was heartbreaking or a pity.

Regardless of whether the person he sent had betrayed or had other reasons, the result might not be very good.

"He shouldn't have betrayed, shouldn't..." Old Chu sighed frequently.

"Now is not the time to pay attention to a certain person. Immediately dispatch all people to guard against the remaining propulsion tubes. No one can take these propulsion tubes away!" Qingzhong Yang hurriedly said to Old Chu, and Lao Chu went to arrange it himself. up.

Qingzhong Yang's brows were tightly frowned into a knot, and Ding Guocheng's face became extremely serious. These propulsion tubes were removed from the "Thor's Hammer" given to them by Nan Ming. Once stolen, not only they would suffer The loss will make the technology of Lanshen Technology leak out, which is too great a loss.

"Careless..." Nan Ming murmured, "I didn't expect there to be such a way..."

Ever since Nan Ming used the power of "empathy" and "guardianship" to protect the lazy god technology, no one has been able to steal the technology from the lazy god technology.

Those who have planned to plot against Lanshen Technology will find that they have somehow become prisoners of an organization called "Overseas Technology Monitoring Center", without exception.

And as the "Overseas Technology Monitoring Center" captured more and more prisoners, its organization also began to expand rapidly, and it has become a relatively large intelligence organization in the United States.

But not being able to steal technology from Lazy God Technology does not mean that there is no other way.

Lanshen Technology donates technology to other people and units, and at the same time it will also break away from the protection of "guardian" and "empathy" permissions. This is a huge loophole.

Therefore, people who wanted to steal the technology of the lazy god but failed, are now targeting some objects who have obtained the technology of the lazy god, but are not completely affiliated with the technology of the lazy god.

Although the military is definitely not a good target to steal, it is much easier than the impregnable authority of Lanshen Technology.

But this weird theft made Nan Ming feel bad.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon. Nanming believes in the eyesight of Qingzhong Yang and Lao Chu. They cannot trust someone who is not trustworthy.

If someone who shouldn't betray betrays, there is only one explanation.

authority.

There are many authorities who can do this kind of thing, but according to the principle of Occam's razor, things often don't need to be too complicated, and the simplest explanation is also the most possible explanation.

"Master." The old horse came out from the corner and stood beside Nan Ming with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid Miss Abby is back!"

This is the only explanation, the authority to instigate!

"Kill Ming", or Miss Abby is making a comeback.

And her first goal is the magnetic fluid propulsion device, or metal hydrogen, which can be described as menacing and ambitious.

Regardless of whether they can replicate metal hydrogen, as long as the news of the theft of metal hydrogen spreads, it will be a huge blow to Lanshen Technology.

The incitement authority is very powerful, but it also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, every time the incitement authority is used, a random person will be betrayed.

And the biggest blow to Miss Abi last time was obviously Lao Ma's betrayal.

That failure almost caused Miss Abi to die. Based on the old horse's understanding of her, Miss Abi will be more cautious and use her power more effectively.

This time I'm afraid it will be more troublesome than last time.

Fortunately, Nan Ming's "lazy" authority can restrain Miss Abi's "inciting" authority to a certain extent.

For example, Hu Zhuofei sat in the back seat of Nan Ming's car for a while before breaking free from the conflict between the two authorities of "incitement" and "fear".

And Miss Abby's most important method is to make a phone call.

All the mobile phones of the lazy gods are equipped with voice screening and interception programs to ensure that they will not be easily incited. Nanming also arranged for all employees of the lazy gods to enjoy the services of the lazy gods at least once, and important employees even more The massage bed that Nanming used was strengthened again.

Nan Ming didn't know how effective it was, but at least it could increase their resistance. Even if Miss Abi wanted to incite them, she would have to pay more.

Knowing that Miss Abby reappeared, Nanming's first reaction was to order Xiaobai to hack into the mobile phones of everyone on board and install a voice recognition and filtering system for them.

It is actually quite simple to hack into these people's mobile phones. Xiaobai only needs to simulate himself as a base station, and he can connect to all the mobile phones effortlessly. After that, everything is under Xiaobai's control.

Xiaobai also took the opportunity to look through the call records of these people to see if they had any suspicious calls.

After finishing all this, Nan Ming signaled to Lao Ma, and Lao Ma immediately ordered someone to bring up a recliner that Nan Ming had strengthened.

Nan Ming said to Ding Guocheng: "Take a break, it's too late to worry now."

Ding Guocheng still wanted to refuse, but Lao Ma stepped forward with a smile, helped Ding Guocheng straighten the recliner, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of please.

Even Ding Guocheng had never enjoyed such a completely western-style butler service. Seeing that the old horse was handsome and gray-haired, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he lay down obediently.

But at this moment, Qingzhong Yang had already made several phone calls in a row, and all the armed forces of the sea, land and air were transferred by him. After a while, several planes roared and flew over the Silence.

"Is there anything I can do?" Nan Ming asked Qingzhong Yang.

"The most important thing now is to find the ship that delivered the thrusters..." Qingzhong Yang said.

From Qisuo to Lanshen Shipyard, it takes more than two hours by sea, that is to say, two hours have passed since the escort fleet took away the propellers.

And after the ship left the seventh place for more than 20 nautical miles, it disappeared from the radar.

Because the coastline near Dongbin City is complicated, there are often blind spots for radar monitoring. This situation is very common, so the radar station did not warn.

But now, if we want to find this ship, the disadvantages of not having radar are revealed. Calculated based on the maximum speed of an ordinary ship at 30 knots, this ship may be anywhere within a radius of 60 nautical miles.

Not to mention, after this ship leaves Qisuo, it may be handed over to any ship, and Dongbin City is one of the largest port cities in China. If you add small boats, there will be countless more.

The propulsion tube is not big, and it can be installed in a slightly larger ship. Even if the boat is broken into parts, it can be transported away.

To be honest, this can almost be said to be looking for a needle in a haystack, and we can only rely on the crowd tactics to check.

"I remember my brother said, if you don't know what to do, first grasp the key clues." Nan Ming said.

Now the key clue is the ship that transported the propeller, and he must be found first.

"But now I don't even know where this ship is..." Qing Zhongyang said anxiously.

"Thirty knots per hour... That's 120 nautical miles of coastline, plus an area of ​​more than 2,800 square nautical miles..." Nan Ming quickly calculated the number, and then frowned: "This is a big project ...how much power can you muster?"

Qing Zhongyang listed the forces he could mobilize. It can be said that all the forces within Qing Zhongyang's authority have been mobilized.

The search at sea mainly relies on aircraft, but the area close to 3,000 square nautical miles is still not a small number.

"You are responsible for the 20 nautical miles near the coastline, and I will leave the rest to me." Nan Ming silently calculated and said.

Qingzhong Yang was stunned, leave it to him?

"You want to use drones?" Qingzhong Yang was taken aback, "No, your drones are too slow..."

"That's already in the past tense." Nan Ming smiled.

Drones can be said to be the foundation of Lanshen Technology. When other technologies are advancing by leaps and bounds, how can drones not improve?

Li Yuncong has not been idle all the time. He saw Tie Dan, Li Xiang, Feng Tianyou, Wang Ziyang and others all expressing themselves, and naturally he was not far behind. The drones he created recently can be said to be concentrated and lazy. All the advanced technologies of the God Department are absolutely worthy of other technologies.

Nan Ming said something into the microphone in a low voice, and there were clicking sounds all around.

Qingzhong Yang looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the location of the original missile launcher. The round cover was slowly opening, revealing several shelves full of densely packed drones.

Those drones are arranged on the shelf like warheads. With the sound of ejection, countless drones fly out of the shelf, spread their wings, circle a few times, and fly in all directions go.

"This is..." Qingzhong Yang was taken aback. These drones are not the multi-axis aircraft that Lanshen Technology was good at before, but fixed-wing drones, which look like swans.

"This is a new type of drone from Lanshen Technology, code-named Silly Goose." Nan Ming explained.

Nan Ming couldn't complain about the name. Li Yuncong said that the shape of the drone was made according to the shape of a swan, and it was also the result of studying swans like Xiao Hui.

The new batteries of Nanxia Battery and the emergence of room temperature superconductors have greatly increased the endurance of drones. These drones can reach a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, and their endurance can reach thousands of kilometers. This is almost Dozens of times that of previous drones.

Looking at the drone whizzing out, Qingzhong Yang felt a little relieved.

About half an hour later, a drone sent a message and found the target.

After receiving this news, Qingzhong Yang was shocked. Although the ship displayed on the screen was just floating quietly on the sea surface without any movement, it seemed to be abandoned by someone, but this was a clue after all. .

The Silence had been wandering aimlessly in the sea before, looking for the target. After receiving the ship's position, Nan Ming issued a series of orders.

The Silence turned instantly.

Feeling the rapid increase in the speed of the Silence, the reporters didn't know what happened. Fortunately, some staff went to the back to maintain order and asked them to sit down and fasten their seat belts.

"Are you going to speed up?" The reporters suddenly realized this sensitively and began to get excited.

Nan Ming and the others also sat on the fixed seats on the front deck.

"Aren't we going back to the cabin?" Ding Guocheng was a little puzzled.

"No need." Nan Ming said.

As the speed of the Silence became faster and faster, the wind on the deck became stronger and stronger, the speed began to climb, and the hull also began to rise.

30 knots... 40 knots... 50 knots...

As the speed climbed, at the bow of the ship, a transparent barrier slowly rose.

The Silence had fixed a fairing on the bow of the ship before, but now the fairing has been fully integrated into the hull of the Silence. As long as the speed increases to more than 30 knots, it will automatically stretch out according to the speed.

The fully transparent fairing spreads from the bow to the rear.

The slender and tough skeleton supports the fairing, isolating the howling wind.

Since the Silence sailed out of the dock, it has been cruising at a slow speed, and even many reporters are wondering whether the Silence has lost its super speed?

But now, this doubt has been self-dispelled.

The Silence is still the Silence, and its speed is still unrivaled in the world.

And as the speed of the Silence increased, the uniqueness of the Silence also began to emerge.

If someone observes the Silence from the side at this time, they will find that there are two peculiar wings similar to the swept wings of an airplane stretched out below the waterline of the Silence, extending into the water.

And as the speed continued to increase, this wing-shaped object produced a huge lift, supporting the Silence as a whole.

In order to pursue a higher speed, modern ships usually use a method of reducing the contact area between the hull and the water surface to reduce wave resistance.

There are several common ways to reduce wave-making resistance.

One is a multihull and the other is a hydrofoil.

The way the Silence used the "Thor's Hammer" before was more like a multihull.

But now, the Silence has completely transformed into a hydrofoil.

The hull was extremely stable, and only a strong push back made people realize that the Silence was still accelerating. Qingzhong Yang heard the exclamation from the rear deck, and when he looked back, he saw two terrifying water curtains The V-shaped spread out behind the ship.

Getting taller and bigger, like two outstretched wings.

This sense of speed made Qingzhong Yang a little uneasy, he couldn't help asking Nan Ming, "What's the current speed?"

"One hundred and ninety days." Nan Ming said.

At that moment, Qingzhong Yang felt that his breathing was almost stagnant.

There is no multi-stage acceleration, no earth-shattering, and silently, the Silence has surpassed the previous record it has set.

Silence, at a speed of one hundred and ninety knots. (To be continued.)
