Chapter 1288 – Missile Surprise Attack (II)
“Octopus?”
After General Rasco heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he stuck his head out of the cabin and looked at the sea more than twenty meters below, immediately realizing his recklessness.
As the saying goes, if you’re not afraid of 10,000, you’re afraid of 1,000, and nothing in this world is absolute.
If really by Zhuang Rui this crow’s mouth to say, in this sea below hidden a body size of six or seven hundred meters of huge octopus, General Rasco does not think that the height of more than twenty meters, is a safe distance.
The tentacles of an ordinary octopus were several times longer than its body, if there was really an octopus-like monster below the sea surface, then this helicopter, along with the people on it, would become its snack.
“Zhuang, look, how many meters of altitude is appropriate for our helicopter to climb to?”
For some reason, General Lasko felt a strong confidence in Zhuang Rui, making him unconsciously feel a sense of dependence on Zhuang Rui as well.
Zhuang Rui didn’t answer Lasko’s words, but asked in return, “General Lasko, how many meters is the highest this helicopter can fly?”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, General Lascaux said with some uncertainty, “The limit is about 6,000 meters in altitude, but this helicopter can only climb up to more than 5,000 meters at the most, so it should be enough, right?”
Helicopter climbing, is completely rely on the rotor blade of the lift, wing surface is small, the air at high altitude is getting thinner and thinner, on the efficiency of the lift is greatly affected, at the same time the engine intake is difficult, the impact on the power is also greatly affected, the power efficiency are with the increase in altitude and decline, to a certain altitude will be to the limit.
Except for some helicopters specially made to set records, general helicopters climbing height is about 3000 to 5000 meters, Lasko does not play extreme sports, of course, also do not know this “Apache” ascending limit.
“5000 meters, almost enough.”
Zhuang Rui estimated in his heart, that undersea monster’s body size is almost seven to eight hundred meters big, and that dozens of meters thick “arm”, it should not be more than 3,000 meters, the helicopter in 5,000 meters high altitude, it should be able to guarantee its safety.
“Okay, Fico, climb up to 3800 meters, then drop the missile from launcher one, target, the sea directly below the helicopter!”
After discussing with Zhuang Rui, Rasco gave the order to the pilot.
“Yes, rise to an altitude of 3800 meters and drop the missile in launcher number one.” The pilot repeated General Rasco’s order and began to operate.
The helicopter, which was originally hovering over the sea surface, quickly rose to a high altitude, and after reaching an altitude of 3,000 meters, the wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing the skin of the people on the helicopter as if it was loosening off, and Zhuang Rui and the others could only close the hatches on both sides.
In the Apache helicopter, equipped with a total of sixteen “Hellfire missiles”, although this is an air-to-surface anti-tank missiles, but under human control, can still be shot into the sea after the explosion.
“Okay, ready to launch!”
Upon hearing General Rasco’s order, the pilot opened a control on his right hand side, and with that, a button popped up, which the pilot gently pressed with his thumb.
Just as his thumb touched the button, the entire helicopter shook violently, and the crowd could see from the display below the front windshield of the helicopter that the bottom of a missile was spraying fire and shooting straight towards the sea below them.
The altitude of more than three thousand meters, for the missile is only a split second, not waiting for the crowd to see, this piece of lethal “hellfire missiles”, drilled headfirst into the ice-cold sea water.
In a short period of three or four seconds later, the calm sea surface, suddenly set off a more than ten meters high water column, waves rolled to the sky spray, in the sunlight, like Madison Square fountain general colorful.
After the explosion, the gazes of several people on the helicopter, all of them were looking towards the radar scanner, if there was really a so-called deep-sea creature on the bottom of the sea, the explosion of this missile might have alarmed it.
However, to the disappointment of the people, the scanning screen on the wave band in the ocean below, but did not see any abnormality, after that burst of explosions, the sea surface has returned to its former calm.
Unlike the people beside him, although Zhuang Rui’s eyes were also staring at the display screen in front of him, his attention was completely following the aura to the bottom of the sea.
“No, the shockwave is too small ……”
Zhuang Rui once again saw this huge creature, but found that the explosion on the surface of the sea couldn’t affect this creature on the bottom of the sea at all, a small wave of a few tens of meters was nothing more than an insignificant piece of trivia for it.
After waiting for two to three minutes, Clyde finally couldn’t help himself and spoke, “No movement? Boss, I told you that the ship’s radar system is broken! Look at this, there’s no movement at all on the bottom of the sea.”
“Impossible, that radar …… set won’t go wrong anyway.”
Zhuang Rui had not yet spoken, but it was Peng Fei who refuted Captain Clyde’s words, only that he was not good enough to say where the Xuan Rui ship’s radar system came from, and his words were unavoidably a bit feeble.
“As it turns out, there aren’t any monsters underneath this sea, Fico, lower the altitude, it’s time to prepare for the return flight.”
General Rasco also shook his head, wondering if he had ghosted earlier. Wasting a missile for nothing, causing himself to now have a headache for the report when he got back.
Just as General Rasco was giving orders, Zhuang Rui suddenly said, “Wait, don’t lower the altitude, be ready to climb at any time.”
“Zhuang, this is a very rude line.”
Zhuang Rui once again rudely interrupted Rasco’s words, while pointing his finger towards the radar scanning display that had gone unnoticed, and said loudly, “General Rasco, please look at the display, quick, prepare to climb!”
Zhuang Rui’s shout attracted everyone’s attention, six or seven pairs of eyes coincidentally looked towards the display, at the same time, the radar system issued a “drip drip drip” alarm sound, a red alarm light was rotating frantically.
On the radar display, the volume of the moving object had been automatically surveyed, and the figure of 758 meters stunned everyone.
“God, there really is a creature?”
Captain Clyde looked at the slowly moving bright spot on the radar screen, his mouth was open and couldn’t close, graduating from the Royal Naval Academy, he naturally knew what this meant.
The biggest submarine in this world wouldn’t be this big, so there could only be one explanation, if the volcano didn’t have legs, then it could only be life spawned from the ocean.
“Quickly, elevate, elevate to a height of 5000 meters.”
Zhuang Rui at this time but did not have the heart to be surprised with the crowd, but loudly yelled to the driver, this is related to his own life, Zhuang Rui does not want to be the first batch of people who died because of the undersea monsters.
Staring at the display screen of the crowd did not realize, now Zhuang Rui’s face, showing a very unhealthy white color, the corner of his eyes with tears, looks extremely tired.
No one knew that in order to draw out this undersea monster, Zhuang Rui had poured out almost all of the aura in his eyes, only to cause the monster to awaken from its slumber and float up towards the surface.
After several aura upgrades, Zhuang Rui once again felt the sensation of tears running down his face.
However, Zhuang Rui understood in his heart that his aura, which was enough to give birth to white bones and live to death, when used on this monster, would probably only be able to make this big guy comfortable for so long.
In order to trace the source of the aura, this monster would definitely surface, and the tentacles under the monster’s body that were as thick as one to twenty meters made Zhuang Rui feel a shiver in his heart.
Although there were as many as dozens of tentacles under its body, Zhuang Rui could almost conclude that this monster was the legendary octopus, and with the current height of the helicopter, Zhuang Rui didn’t have an ounce of security.
“Major General?”
Although the pilot was also shocked in his heart, his good training allowed him to react quickly and turn his gaze to General Rasco.
“Listen to Chong, ascend, quickly ascend and fly towards the northeast.”
After hearing the pilot’s words, General Lascaux also reacted from his shock, he also understood in his heart that no matter if this monster was the octopus that Zhuang Rui had spoken of, with its six to seven hundred meter size alone, it would be enough to pose a threat to helicopters at an altitude of three thousand meters.
“Yes, General.”
After receiving Lasko’s order, the pilot put his two fingers together on his forehead and threw out a military salute in a very dashing manner, then controlled the Apache helicopter, rapidly ascending to a high altitude at a speed of more than sixteen meters per second.
During the short one minute or so of conversation in the cabin, the bright spot on the radar scanner also became faster, and quickly rose to only four to five hundred meters from the surface of the sea from a depth of more than three thousand meters.
“Faster, faster.”
Listening to the incessant “dripping” alarms, sweat appeared on Rasco’s forehead, the helicopter’s altitude was now only around four thousand meters, and it didn’t seem to be out of the danger zone.
“General, I’ve done my best.”
The handsome pilot boy, who was sweating profusely at this moment, bit his mouth tightly after answering Rasco’s sentence, his hands quickly operating the helicopter, his eyes not forgetting to keep an eye on the distance between the undersea monster and the helicopter.
“Four thousand four hundred meters, it should be safe, right?”
Right after the helicopter rose to a height of four thousand four hundred meters, Rasco let out a sigh of relief, as long as the guy at the bottom of the sea didn’t have wings, he shouldn’t be a threat to this height, right?
Who knows that just when General Rasco’s words had just fallen, suddenly, from the deep sea, a dark-colored object that was more than twenty meters thick stretched out, and rammed straight towards the helicopter in the sky.
