Dream Guide

By the time Aoki and the others entered the bridge, Ivan and Boris had already removed Lieutenant Colonel Halsey's body, and the chair he was sitting on collapsed. There was some dust on the ground, probably from Halsey's clothes.

Cotton officer uniforms will lose flexibility and become brittle if stored for a long time, slowly degrading into a small molecule state. The special environment in the deep well of time and space maintains its original state on the surface. When it is ejected from the deep well, the air and sunlight break a large number of fragile chemical bonds in the cellulose, turning it into powder upon contact. You can imagine what Boris saw. This was probably the most bizarre corpse he had ever dealt with.

Everyone carefully checked the things in the room, and most of them were still very solid, including the podium and tables. People moved the food on the deck, except for the fish that was still drying, indoors to prevent it from spoiling in the hot sun.

By this time, Anderson's fish was almost done, so he brought them in as well. They used sabers to put the peeled fruits into washed fruit plates and cups, which were found in the officers and soldiers' dormitories last time.

People began to enjoy the fragrant fish and fresh fruits. The delicious food made people forget the troubles caused by the current predicament. Even the always talkative coal boss remained silent and hid in the corner with Shen Ran and feasted.

After eating, people staggered around and fell asleep. They were so tired, as if they hadn't slept for days and nights.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Boris’ loud voice suddenly sounded like thunder in the cabin:

"Redbeard! Anderson! Guess what we found?!"

People were woken up by his voice, and Petru cursed: "What are you yelling about? We are not deaf!"

Situ pointed to the remaining food on the side and said, "Why does it take you so long to deal with a corpse? I've left it for you. Eat it quickly."

"Ah, it's nothing. It's dark and big down there, and I'm a little lost." Boris's stomach growled for a while, so he sat down and started eating.

"Where's Ivan?" Situ asked, "What did you find?"

"Did you see that Apache on the deck?" Boris looked out the window while eating. Looking out of the window here, you can just see the wings of the Apache.

"Only a blind person can't see it. It's just a pile of scrap metal!" said Petru.

Boris said: "Did you forget that the Swordfish frigate is equipped with two Apaches? There is still one parked in the hangar!"

"So what? After a thousand years, even a hundred of them can't be used anymore."

"No, no, you are wrong! You may not believe it, but the one in the hangar is as new as new, as if it had just rolled out of the San Diego base."

Seeing Petru's unbelieving look, Boris added, "Really, Ivan found it. You should believe what he said. Unfortunately, the fuel tank of the plane was empty. Ivan went to look for it in another cabin. Look. See if we can find fuel.”

"The storage time of fuel is very short. Even if they fall into a deep well and encounter an oxygen-free environment, they cannot save it for thousands of years. Moreover, the people on the ship used up all the energy while they were alive. If there is still fuel, it is impossible to keep it. ." Situ said.

Boris felt a little discouraged. He stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth and said incoherently: "It's a new helicopter anyway, a new one!"

Ivan is back and he proves that Boris didn't lie.

"The helicopter is indeed new, except it has no fuel," he said.

"Why is this happening?" Petru felt very strange. "Are there other new things on the ship that we haven't discovered yet?"

"There should be no more. In addition to the last time and this time, we have seen most of the cabins and they are all old and unusable. Only the helicopter hangar is special. Its inner deck shows no signs of aging and has not been damaged in any way. Corrosion, the entire hangar looks like new, including the contents.”

After Ivan finished speaking, he sat down to eat calmly.

Su Huilan asked Situ: "Didn't this ship fall into the stasis zone of time and space? Why did this happen?"

Situ said: "It's hard to say. The static zone of space and time is just a theory. Except for the dead officers and soldiers on the Swordfish and Ronald Cohen, no one has experienced it. Any accident is possible. But this matter It’s indeed strange…”

He thought for a while and said, "If the space-time static zone is compared to a special bubble in space, there may be many small bubbles in this big bubble, and the space-time properties of each bubble may be different."

"Are you saying that the ship fell into the big bubble of the stasis zone of space-time, and then there was a small bubble that did not belong to the stasis zone that happened to cover a cabin on the ship?"

Aoki found it very incredible, "Doesn't that mean that Ronald Cohen can meet us alive as long as he hides in the helicopter hangar?"

"That's the theory."

Su Huilan asked curiously: "Then why are they all dead? Has no one discovered this?"

"This is also where I am confused." Situ said, "It would be fine if no one has been to the hangar, but the fuel in the helicopter mailbox is gone, and it has obviously been taken away. This is normal, they need energy, no Every drop of fuel will be let go. But since someone has come in, it stands to reason that they should be able to find something abnormal in the hangar."

Alice said: "Maybe just send an ordinary soldier to get fuel. They don't have the mental power like you, and the traces of time were not as obvious as what we see at that time."

Situ nodded and said, "It's possible."

Ivan, who had almost finished eating, wiped his hands on his body, stood up and said, "You don't have to be discouraged. I found some tools that are still usable. There is also a barrel of brand new lubricating oil."

Boris was very frustrated and complained: "What's the use? A plane without fuel is just a pile of scrap metal! What can the lubricating oil be used for? Can it be sold to the bitches on the Sea Cucumber Street in Amsterdam?"

His rude words aroused the disdain of the ladies present, and they all turned away in disgust.

Ivan said: "We can remove the M-230 single-barreled chain gun on the Apache, and with a little modification, it can become a heavy machine gun, which is easier to use than Gatling. Of course, that thing is a bit Shen, it would be better if you could add a base, I think airplane wheels would be great."

Boris's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Haha, Ivan, I just said you have a good brain!"

Petrou and Anderson also became excited and said, "This is a good idea."

Ivan said: "This job is not easy. Boris and I can't handle it. You are better at airplanes and machine guns than we are."

"No problem, as long as there are enough parts, the four of us can definitely do it." Anderson said confidently, "Modifying a cannon is not much more complicated than installing a fishing rod."

"Then let's go now, it just so happens that our guns also need oiling." Petru said.

They left as quickly as they could, as if they were at a military base and about to go on a mission, forgetting everyone else and everything.

Boris walked to Petru and asked as he walked: "Hey, can your fire stick be used as a soldering iron? Maybe it needs welding..."
