American Celestial Master

Chapter 116, The Flying Dutchman

Lin Qiusheng has no opinion on who is the father of Mr. Mayer and Mr. Mayer Jr., and this is not the focus of his attention, so he reminded Mayer:
"Mr. Mayer, regarding what identity you will use in the future, it is not a very urgent matter. The most important thing is that we need to conduct a complete set of checks on your physical condition in order to find out your current physical condition— —After all, you are the first person to receive this treatment, and our project, as you know, has not even completed the animal testing phase. So it is difficult to say whether there will be some unexpected situations in the future. Extreme Under the circumstances, it is difficult to say whether our efforts today really prolong your life. For example, if we have not verified the effect of ultraviolet light in animal experiments before, maybe you accidentally activated it Ultraviolet disinfection equipment may cause irreversible damage to you..."

When Lin Qiusheng said this, Mayer suddenly remembered that there was a set of ultraviolet disinfection equipment in his original residence. If this thing was accidentally activated...he immediately looked at little Mayer.

Little Mayer said, "I'll have that thing dismantled right away."

"In addition, Mr. Mayer, you may still need to endure hunger, because we still need to conduct a comprehensive record of your body data. After the record is completed, you can eat. After eating, you need to conduct another comprehensive record. records..." Dr. Shelton said.

"Okay, doctor, you're an expert, and I'm at your disposal. Well, can you tell me how long it will take to complete this comprehensive set of records?" Mr. Mayer asked.

"Ah, it takes a little time to complete the whole set. Generally speaking, it takes about two to three hours..." Dr. Shelton replied.

While in Europe, Anne and the others finally waited for the notice that the European fleet was about to depart.

More than 100 various merchant ships gathered from various European countries, together with several warships of the British Navy and the French Navy, as well as the escort formation of the US military formed a huge escort fleet, ready to set off from the UK to North America.

In this fleet, the most conspicuous one is of course the aircraft carrier HMS Wang from the British Navy, but the deck of the aircraft carrier is still a bit empty, because the F-35 fighter jets equipped for her have not yet been delivered, so there is also Only a few EH-101 helicopters can be placed.

In addition to the "Super Long Standby King" aircraft carrier, there are also three 45-level destroyers in the escort fleet. Considering that the "Longevity Prince" aircraft carrier and several other 45-level destroyers are still under maintenance, the British Navy this time is Really came out in full force.

The size of the French fleet is smaller. The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier temporarily withdrew from the escort operation due to mechanical problems. Xueyue" is an escort formation composed of three frigates.

In addition, the Dutch Navy also sent a large patrol ship of the "Holland" class, the German Navy also sent a Württemberg-class frigate, and the Italian Navy also sent a Bergamini-class frigate.In short, this is the largest and most technologically advanced escort fleet that has appeared on the Atlantic Ocean since World War II.

The fleet set off on the second day after Annie and the others returned to the "Boxer".Merchant ships and escort fleets from various countries converged in Bristol Bay, and then formed a huge fleet. Under the escort of the joint escort fleet, they set off towards the west.

The U.S. fleet, which has already taken a trip at sea and drawn several dangerous areas on the sea chart, has become the commander without hesitation.Under the urging of the Americans, the fleet sailed for three days at a high speed of [-] knots, and reached a sea area about [-] kilometers away from Newfoundland.Then the fleet commander, General Thompson, got the first bad news he got during the voyage:

"The destroyer 'Brave' had a propulsion failure? Hell, I knew their 'all-electric propulsion system' was a piece of shit! But, I actually believed their 'just overhauled the whole system, reliability There's still a guarantee! We've only been out for three days, and this shit can't hold it anymore!" General Thompson threw his pencil on the floor and scolded in the conference room, "If Nelson knew I will come alive with anger!"

"General, if Lord Nelson is alive, he will definitely be mad again because Queen Elizabeth is half black." Another officer said.

Everyone laughed together.

After laughing, General Thompson said again: "The British asked us for instructions on the next step. Well, what do you think should be done?"

"Simple, let them send a boat and tow the 'Brave' back." A staff officer said.

"How about it? What if the propulsion system of the boat that towed it has a failure halfway? I think these lovely British people can really handle this kind of thing." Another officer said.

A group of American military officers were gloating, when suddenly a red telephone in front of them rang.

A staff officer picked up the phone and said, "This is the war room, what's the matter?"

"Received urgent intelligence that there is an A+ level threat appearing at a position 150 nautical miles south of us." Such a voice came from the phone.

"Damn! Where is another A+ threat coming from? Immediately launch drones for reconnaissance and confirm the threat. Notify the fleet and prepare for contingencies!" General Thompson shouted.

The maximum detection range of the instrument that HX gave them was about 150 nautical miles.Generally speaking, finding a target at such a distance is enough for the fleet to take a suitable approach to avoid danger.But who knew that the British Bravery, so immortal, had a problem at this time?

"Neither sooner nor later, but at this time, it can be seen that this is a fallacy!" General Thompson scolded, but it was not known whether he was scolding the sea monster or the British.

The USS Mahan fired a rocket-assisted drone in the direction of the threat.This kind of drone is actually just replacing the standard 6 warhead with a small disposable drone.Speaking of which, this thing is not technically complicated, but for some reason, the price of this thing has suddenly become more than three times that of the ordinary standard 6, a full 700 million US dollars.If it wasn't for an emergency, even the U.S. Navy would not use such an expensive thing casually.

But this thing is expensive, and the performance is really good, especially the response speed, which is really not comparable to helicopters and the like. After a few minutes, General Thompson got the information sent back by the drone.

"What's this? A three-masted sailboat? A sailboat that's going thirty knots? What the hell is this?" General Thompson asked.

"General, this, this may be the 'Flying Dutchman'." An officer replied with a pale face, "Not long ago, it appeared in the Caribbean."

"General, the wind in the area where the drone is located is increasing, and it is difficult to control the drone." Another officer shouted.

At the same time, on the screen, the camera lens of the drone began to shake wildly, and then fell down in a whirl.

"Do we have satellites around? Check the satellites for intelligence," General Thompson said.

"Satellites show that a storm is forming to the south of us at a distance of 150 nautical miles, and the storm is rapidly strengthening and moving towards us at a speed of [-] knots."

"Damn it!" Admiral Thompson yelled. "Notify the damned British, abandon ship immediately, transfer all personnel to other warships, notify the entire formation, and turn northeast as fast as possible. Hope the 'Flying Dutchman' is just passing by, Didn't find us."

"General, what if the 'Flying Dutchman' comes after us?" asked one of the officers.

"Didn't we have a plan?" General Thompson said, "According to the plan, if the distance between the two sides is close to 17 nautical miles, and it is confirmed that the other party is really chasing us, we will launch a nuclear strike on the target. If the nuclear strike fails to take effect, Immediately disband the entire formation and let all ships go to the possible ports of call. I hope we don’t have to go to this step, and I hope that the tragedy of PQ-[-] will not be staged in our hands.”
