Firepower is king

The aircraft is a Senas 208 series amphibious aircraft. The landing gear has been replaced by pontoons, which can take off and land on the water. It is used for both passengers and cargo. The cabin retains the portholes, but all the passenger seats have been removed. The entire cabin can be used It is used for loading cargo. If people want to sit on it, just put a few temporary seats.

Only Frank knows the coordinates, but now, Frank will definitely announce the coordinates.

"We are already over the target area."

Frank was wearing a headset. He said something loudly, and then gestured with his hand: "Lower the altitude and hover here for a few times."

There is a vast green area below. Among the vast and monotonous green, there is a wide river. The water is turbid and looks like a muddy yellow belt.

The rainforest on both sides of the river is dotted with lakes and some smaller tributaries. The water in those small lakes looks much clearer.

It is too difficult to find a plane that crashed more than 20 years ago from the sky above the rainforest. Let’s not talk about what the plane was like when it crashed. Even if the plane maintains its complete shape, it will be difficult to find it after more than 20 years. It’s time to be covered in vegetation.

In the rainforest, it doesn't take long for an open space to be completely filled with plants. For more than 20 years, it is probably difficult to detect even if the plane is close to you, so this aerial reconnaissance is really just a look.

First observe the terrain and the conditions of the target area, and then consider how to land and how to conduct a search after landing.

The plane began to circle in the sky. Although the altitude was already very low, the line of sight could not penetrate the dense tree canopy. So after only circling a few times over the target area, Frank loudly shouted: "George, go look at the river."

It is impossible for any aircraft to land directly on the treetops, so a seaplane is chosen because there are many water systems here. Whether it is a large enough lake or a wide enough river, the aircraft can land.

George flew the plane over the river closest to the target area, and then he lowered the altitude very low to observe the width of the river.

After flying along the river for a while, George shook his head and said: "The river is not wide enough, and the branches on both sides cover most of the river, making it impossible to land."

The small tributary was not working, so Frank looked around and said: "Raise the height and see if there is a large enough lake nearby."

The plane climbed up, and several people looked around for a moment. George lowered the altitude again, and then passed over a lake.

"This lake is big enough and it's not very far from our coordinate point. I think it's OK here."

George decided to choose the water area to land, and Frank immediately said: "Okay, let me record the coordinates and continue to observe at a low altitude."

Frank took out his SLR camera, and then he started taking pictures downwards. As for the highlights, they sat back and observed the situation below through the portholes.

The terrain is indeed very complex. If the tree crown below appears slightly sparse, then if you look closely, you will definitely find that there is water below the tree crown, and the alternating characteristics of swamps and seasonal lakes are clearly revealed.

I circled and observed for a long time and found no trace. However, I observed the terrain and determined the landing site for the next arrival of a full load of equipment and materials, so this flight was still necessary.

With nothing left to see, George turned around and began the return trip to Medellin.

Before they could go back, several people had already started discussing what to do next.

"It's not easy to find a crashed plane in this terrain, and it's a small plane." John looked at the green ocean below with a sad look on his face. He shrugged and said, "I can already do it. I can imagine the pain of being bitten by a mosquito or sucked by a leech.”

Rubber said again without mercy: "You are so smart, so please think about it, if this money is easy to get, will Mr. Smith tell the captain?"

John said angrily: "Of course I know this truth, I just... find it a little difficult."

Frank said excitedly: "It's not that easy to get money. The more desolate this place is, the greater the possibility of finding treasures. I'm ready to stay here for a month. Before the rainy season comes, we must The crash needs to be found.”

Rubber couldn't wait to say: "Captain, do you know where the plane crashed? If it is a swamp, then there is no need for underwater search and detection. We don't have to wait for the underwater robot to arrive. We can start the search directly tomorrow." "

There is a reason for the budget of more than two million US dollars, and the underwater exploration robot is a huge expense.

There is no place in Colombia where underwater detection robots can be used, so in order not to waste time and to complete the work before the water level surges during the rainy season, Frank directly spent more than 200,000 to order a professional-grade underwater robot.

"I don't know whether the plane crashed in the water or on land. Mr. Smith said that he was very sure that the plane crashed at the coordinates given to me, but there is water everywhere here, and it is always difficult to be prepared for an underwater search. Incorrect."

Watching it live and completely thinking about it are two different things. Although I saw many difficulties, no matter what, hope must be in the rainforest below, so Gao Guang couldn't help but get excited.

At this moment, John suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I just saw someone down there!"

Several people were stunned for a moment, and Frank immediately looked down and said, "Will there be someone?"

John was sitting on the left side of the cabin and looked down through the left window, while Frank and Gao Guang were sitting on the right side. After John suddenly shouted, several people immediately started to look down.

George pulled the joystick and the plane began to turn, but Frank said nervously: "Where is there someone? It is dozens of kilometers away from the nearest town. How can there be someone!"

John said loudly: "Just by a small lake, I saw someone walking, but I didn't see clearly."

Rubber said doubtfully: "Why didn't I see it? Did you see it wrong?"

It is not a good thing to see people in this place. Several people immediately became nervous, but George circled in place for more than ten times. Several people looked at the small lake where John said there were people over and over again, but no one was seen. shadow.

Finally, John himself was not sure anymore. He scratched his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Did I really see it wrong? Maybe I was too excited. Well, I should be too excited."

Frank said gloomily: "But we all know that you have good eyesight, and you have always been responsible for observation and vigilance."

No one spoke, and John's discovery cast a pall over the treasure hunt, although he was not sure whether he saw anyone.

Finally, Frank said in a deep voice: "Go back first. Regardless of whether John is wrong or not, we have to be vigilant."

These chapters are too short. I have doubled monthly tickets these days. I also want to add more chapters and ask for votes, but haste makes waste. Now my cervical spine is extremely uncomfortable and my head hurts. I really can’t do this. But the strength is insufficient.

I will definitely write more when this discomfort is over. I have been short on updates in the past two days, so please forgive me.
