By the time Aoki and Boris entered the bridge, Ivan and Boris had removed Lieutenant Colonel Halsey's body, and the chair he sat in collapsed. There was some dust on the ground, probably from Halsey's clothes.
Cotton military uniforms will lose flexibility and become brittle after being stored for a long time, and will degrade slowly into a small molecule state. The special environment in the space-time deep well maintains its original state on the surface. When it is ejected from the deep well, air and sunlight break a large number of fragile chemical bonds in cellulose and turn into powder. Imagine what Boris saw. It was probably the strangest body he had ever handled.
Everyone carefully checked the indoor things. Most of them were still very strong, including the command desk and table. People also moved the food on the deck other than the fish still drying indoors to prevent it from deteriorating in the hot sun.
At this time, Anderson's fish was almost baked, so he brought them in. They used military knives to put the cut fruit in washed fruit trays and cups, which were found in the cabin of the officers' and soldiers' dormitory last time.
People began to enjoy fragrant fish and fresh fruit. The delicious food made people forget the troubles brought by the current difficulties. Even the talkative coal boss didn't say a word and ate in the corner with hearty.
After eating, people fell asleep. They are so tired that they seem to have not slept for days and nights.
I don't know how long he slept, Boris's loud voice suddenly sounded, like thunder in the cabin:
"Red beard! Anderson! Guess what we found?!"
People were awakened by his voice. Petru scolded, "what are you shouting about? We're not deaf!"
Situ pointed to the food left on one side and said, "why did you take so long to deal with a corpse? Keep it for you. Eat it quickly."
"Oh, nothing. It's dark and big at the bottom. It's a little lost." Boris's stomach growled, and he sat down and ate.
"Where's Ivan?" situ asked, "what have you found?"
"Do you see the Apache on the deck?" Boris nuozui looked out of the window while eating. Looking out of the window, he could just see the wings of Apache.
"The blind can't see it. It's just a pile of scrap iron!" petru said.
Boris said, "have you forgotten that the swordfish frigate is equipped with two Apache, and there is still one parked in the hangar!"
"So what? After a thousand years, a hundred will not work."
"No, no, you're wrong! You may not believe it. The new one in the hangar looks like it's just opened from the San Diego base."
Seeing petru's disbelief, Boris added, "really, Ivan found it. You should always believe what he said. Unfortunately, the fuel tank of the plane is empty. Ivan went to another cabin to find out if he can find fuel."
"The preservation time of fuel oil is very short. Even if they fall into a deep well and encounter an anaerobic environment, they can't be preserved for thousands of years. Moreover, the people on board exhausted all energy when they were alive, and they can't keep it if they still have fuel oil," situ said.
Boris was a little discouraged. He ruthlessly stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth and said vaguely, "it's a new helicopter anyway, New!"
Ivan came back. He proved that Boris didn't lie.
"The helicopter is really new, except that there is no fuel," he said.
"Why?" petru felt very strange. "Is there anything new on the ship that we haven't found?"
"There should be no more. In addition, last time and this time, we have seen most of the cabins. They are aging and can't be used. Only the helicopter hangar is very special. Its inner deck has no signs of aging and has not been corroded. The whole hangar looks like a new one, including the things inside."
After Ivan finished, he sat down quietly to eat.
Su Huilan asked situ, "didn't the ship fall into the static zone of time and space? Why did this happen?"
Situ said: "it's hard to say. The space-time static zone is just a theory. No one has experienced it except the dead officers and soldiers on the swordfish and Ronald Cohen. Any accident is possible. But it's really strange..."
He thought for a moment and said, "if the space-time static area 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."
"Do you mean that the ship fell into the large bubble in the space-time static zone, and then a small bubble that does not belong to the static zone just covered a cabin on the ship?"
Aoki thought it was incredible. "Doesn't that mean that Ronald Cohen can meet us alive as long as he hides in the helicopter hangar?"
"In theory."
Su Huilan said, "then why are they all dead? Doesn't anyone find out?"
"That's where I wonder," situ said. "If no one has been to the hangar, it's OK, but the fuel in the helicopter mailbox is gone. It's obviously taken away. It's normal. They need energy and won't let go of any drop of fuel. But since someone has come in, it should be able to find the abnormality of the hangar."
Alice said, "maybe just send an ordinary soldier to get the fuel. They don't have the mental strength like you. The trace of time was not as obvious as we saw at that time."
Situ nodded and said, "it's possible."
Ivan, who had almost eaten, wiped his hands on his body, stood up and said, "you don't have to lose heart. I found some tools that can still be used. In addition, there is a bucket of lubricating oil, brand-new."
Boris was very depressed and complained, "what's the use? An airplane without fuel is a pile of scrap iron! What can lubricating oil do? Can it be sold to a bitch on haicucumber street in Amsterdam?"
His rude words caused the disdain of the ladies present, and they turned away in disgust.
Ivan said: "we can dismantle the m-203e-130mm single barrel chain gun on Apache. With a little modification, it can become a heavy machine gun, which is better than Gatling. Of course, it's a little heavy. If the price base is better, I think the aircraft wheels are very good."
Boris brightened his eyes and laughed, "ha ha, Ivan, I said you have a good brain!"
Petru and Anderson were also excited and said, "that's a good idea."
Ivan said, "this job is not easy. Boris and I can't do it. You are better at aircraft and machine gun weapons than us."
"No problem, as long as there are enough parts, the four of us can handle it," Anderson said confidently. "Refitting a machine gun is no more complicated than installing a fishing rod."
"Let's go now. It's just that our guns need to be oiled," petru said.
They said they would go, as if they were at a military base and were about to perform any task, forgetting other people and things.
Boris walked up to petru and asked, "Hey, can your burning stick be used as a soldering iron? Maybe it needs welding..."
