Chapter 185 - Chapter 185: Temporarily Unable To Salvage

"Captain, it will be difficult to salvage it intact!"Intelligent No. 1 can also understand the captain's full meaning, even if the expression is not complete, combined with the captain's personality, it can be judged: "If it is a complete wing and there is no damage to the wing, then be careful, or it can be pulled out of the deep sea."But there are many reasons involved here. The first is whether there is serious silt on the deeper seabed that cannot be scanned and detected? It can be determined that this area of ​​​​the sea has reached the depth of the seabed, otherwise it would not float like this. ""Based on the B-2 bomber's exposed wings and the direction shown by the wings, it can be determined that it is tilted at a 45-degree angle and is also half-upward sunken in the sea.The wing on the other side touches the seabed, and the tail also lands on the seabed, which is the shape and orientation. ""In this case, the wing on the other side and the tail of the "August 17" are likely to have a lot of silt.This is not surprising.The ocean current in this area is relatively fast.If there is no silt, it would have been moved to other places along the ocean current, and it would not be in this position. "Of course, there may be reefs under the sea!" "If there are reefs, it will be even more troublesome.Will the reefs get stuck? Pulling the damaged wing upwards, at least it is inevitable that it will break. " "The second factor is its weight.The unloaded B-2 bomber weighs more than 71 tons.Just with this weight, it is not possible to pull the wing and pull it all out to a certain depth, and then let the projection device cover it and salvage it. " "The third factor is that this B-2 bomber is most likely not unloaded.Generally, B-2 bombers take off with bombs, especially at this location, not far from the Ryukyu mainland island.I think it also took off from the Stars and Stripes Imperial Navy Base on the Ryukyu mainland island. " "If it takes off with a full load, even if it carries half of the bomb load, its total weight will likely exceed 80 tons, and the possibility of reaching 100 tons is also very high. "The third factor is that it is very likely that this is a B-2a bomber, which should have crashed into the sea decades ago.At least in recent years, there have been reports of B-2 bombers malfunctioning and crashing, but most of them caught fire during takeoff or landing.There is no news that a 6-2 bomber crashed into the sea.""But no matter what model of B-2 bomber it is, each one is very important. Given the character of the Star-Spangled Empire, if it crashes into the sea, they will definitely do their best to salvage it and search and rescue it. So did they find this B-2 bomber in this position?""If they didn't find it, then there's nothing to say. If they did find it, why is it still sinking here and not salvaged? If it's the latter, then it has already shown the difficulty of salvaging it."Intelligent No. 1 listed a variety of factors at once, all of which are very valuable analyses."Indeed!"Zhang Heng also nodded in agreement, but he also had his own thoughts and understanding: "Since the B-2 bomber was manufactured and put into service, the number of crashes has been not small, but... this is their strategic bomber, which is strictly confidential.Even if there is an accident, they will not announce it.""Except for some necessary news, such as fog bombs, other news will never be announced, so you can ignore the news and information you find on the Internet."Especially, after a plane crashed into the sea, it has not been salvaged and brought back.Do you think the Star-Spangled Empire will announce it? That is impossible.They also have to save face.This is slapping themselves in the face.It is absolutely impossible to announce it to the outside world. ""You must know that the cost of one plane is 2.4 billion US dollars, which is the taxpayers' money.If it is lost like this, and they don't try every means to salvage it, what do you think their taxpayers will do? Even if it is said that it cannot be salvaged due to technical reasons, it is unreasonable. ""After all, they have always advertised that they are extremely powerful, the best in everything, and invincible. However, they cannot even salvage a high-value strategic bomber that crashed into the sea, which is seriously inconsistent with their publicized image. ""Plus, due to the need for confidentiality, there have actually been quite a few B-2 bombers that have crashed over the years, but the outside world doesn't know about it, and there are only a handful of people who know about it.As for the fact that this one cannot be salvaged, there is a certain possibility, but more likely they haven't found it."With a depth of less than 2,000 meters, with the current strength of the Star-Spangled Empire, the difficulty is very high, but if you spare no effort, it is not impossible to complete it. After all, there are now many deep-sea unmanned submersibles."We only need to use a deep-sea unmanned submersible with a rope to dive down and entangle the B-2 bomber, and then pull it up. Although there are great difficulties in the middle, it is not impossible. It is unlikely to exceed a depth of 2,000 meters. This depth should be able to reach 0.Zhang Heng's conclusion is based on the actual situation and some understanding of the Star-Spangled Empire, and every word is reasonable."Then the fourth factor can be ruled out!" Smart No. 1 corrected his analysis."Hmm!"Zhang Heng pondered again, this time quickly, only a few seconds: "Forget it, it has not been discovered, which is the biggest advantage, which means that it will still be in this position after a while."There is no way to salvage the mining ship now, but it does not mean that there will be no way in the future. I believe that it will be salvaged soon, just wait." Zhang Heng's statement is more like self-consolation, and it is also the final decision made.Seeing a B-2 bomber unable to be salvaged!My heart is bleeding!Perhaps it can't be salvaged and handed over or something, but in the end it will definitely be scanned and recorded like the last time the f-35 was salvaged, and finally become part of the mining ship's repair.He didn't forget that the last f-35 had greatly increased the progress of the mining ship's repair. If the more powerful B-2 bomber was brought up, it would definitely repair much more than the f-35.And the 1.7 that was repaired is still a very important component.For example, the auxiliary power system, wasn't it repaired with the f-35?And this B-2 bomber is estimated to be able to repair the auxiliary power system to a certain extent, and other messy things, such as the main power system, as well as scanning detection devices, projection devices, etc., can be repaired.That way!The mining ship will become more powerful. If things go wrong, even the mineral resources mined can be raised to the level of level 4 minerals.He has long expected that level 4 minerals will include those.If we can guess at the moment, the 4th level minerals definitely include some rare earths.And being able to mine rare earths has always been what he needs and is in urgent need of.Now he is paying real money to buy it from outside. It would be a lie to say that he is not ashamed to own a mining ship and still pay for it, and it is impossible to say that he is not painful.
