Blowing up the balloon

"The parking time is five minutes. Passengers who do not get off at this stop, please do not leave the car..."
Zhuang Xuteng would not be commanded or affected by the broadcast. He left the carriage in a swagger. When the crew was not paying attention, he jumped over the carriage to the railway track, and then got under the car. He observed the surrounding environment as quickly as possible, and according to the
Observe the structure of the carriage at the training site, find a relatively safe area, hide in it and move to the connection between the carriages.
The train started slowly and the noise began to increase. Zhuang Xuteng wanted to enjoy the feeling of traveling under the train.
At the same time, in the carriage, Nightingale slowly sat upright and stared at her sister. She pointed at her head, indicating that the two of them should use radio waves to communicate.
"How much truth do you think he told?" Nightingale asked: "He can reduce the side effects of the Shadow Implant. Is this the secret of the Famine Stranger's martial arts?"
"Sister, I don't know, I can't see it. Finally my brain doesn't hurt at all. Can you let me enjoy it? If you use an implant again, it will accumulate pain."
"This little side effect won't hurt you." Nightingale glared at the rock bird and said, "Cheer up! Ever since the brain implant was installed, our lives have been completely controlled by Stair. Either him,
Either I beg for mercy from the company, it doesn’t make any difference. Now that I have Nike, I see a way out.”
"What? You want him to be our therapist? Sister, don't be stupid, we are comfortable now, but without complete testing, we can't be sure that the side effects of the implant have been eliminated by him. Now, all this may just be
A kind of placebo, some kind of hallucination, like a dream. Dreams will wake up."
"If we go for testing and the side effects have indeed disappeared, what should we say?"
"Isn't this a dream come true?" Yanque snorted, shook his head and said: "Sister, Stair will try his best to stop us and won't let us go. You don't know his idea yet?"
The two of us were trained as intelligence officers and lent to other Chinese
We can use the intermediary to steal the target's intelligence network from within, thereby winning the intermediary war without a fight. In this case, let alone how to get Steyer, even if we can leave, who can pick us up?
What? No middleman dares to ask us."
"Would you accept it if you stopped being a mercenary from now on?"
"My living habits are acceptable, but our wallets are not. You can't just think about good things." Yanque shook his head again and said, "Nike is willing to help us this time. Do you think he likes us? He may think that we are
The two are more beautiful, but they definitely don't have the same feeling as men and women. He is very careful to keep a distance, and everything he does is for this mission. Leaving this mission, leaving the beauty that can only be maintained in the past few years, Nai
Why do you still want to help us?"
Nightingale thought for a while, sighed, and had to agree with her sister. "I'm afraid that if we leave Stair and Nike stops helping, we will be completely homeless. Without money, the accumulated side effects of these implants will definitely kill both of us.
Driven crazy."
"I'm worried about this too." Yanque put his feet on the bed, hugged his legs with his hands, and rested his head on his knees. "I hope this mission can get enough dividends to improve our financial situation.
.How much do we owe Steyer now?”
"The total principal and interest are 6.32 million euros."
"There's no chance, it's not over this time." Yanque tilted his head and looked at his sister and said, "Sister, we must have a good relationship with Naike this time, see what he likes, and give him something sweet.
Although we can’t count on him, we can’t be hopeless either, right?”
"That's what I mean." Nightingale frowned and said, "Naike has this ability. Brother Dao is his senior brother, so his ability must be stronger. We must keep an eye on this pair of partners. In addition to building a good relationship, we must also
Let’s see if anyone else is approaching. Let’s divide the work. I’ll keep an eye on Naike, and you’ll keep an eye on Brother Dao.”
"Uh... okay. My job is not as easy as yours. But we have to decide one thing first: Do we want to report to Steyr? He asked us to check everyone's abilities. You haven't forgotten this.
Something?"
"Don't be stupid, this matter must not be reported! Let's just pretend that Naike has never treated us for old illnesses. Our attention to him is purely because he is very charming."
"Very charming? Sister, are you serious? No one will believe this!"
"Steyr's character will believe it. Although he lets us go out to do those shabby jobs all day long, he is actually a very stingy guy. If you give him this reason, he won't think about it."
"That's all we can do at the moment." Nightingale nodded and said, "Let's just say that Naike has very good observation skills and a very flexible mind. He seems to have some ability to cast shadow spells, but we don't know what they are exactly. If
Steyr expressed that he was still interested, so we gave in a little bit and said that Naike looked at us badly and we should reduce our contact with him. The more he said this, the more likely Steyr would send us to investigate."
"You really figured out Steyr."
The two sisters took a deep breath, ended the communication conversation at the same time, and then rubbed their temples like mirror images. Yanque sighed and said, "I didn't feel uncomfortable communicating during communication before. How come the feeling has become more obvious today?"
"Maybe it's because the brain rarely relaxes, and the symptoms of side effects become obvious even if they are mild. Take a rest and relax, and then wait for Naike to come back."
Zhuang Xuteng didn't feel comfortable under the car, mainly because the railway was in poor condition and bumpy from time to time. There were shock absorbing springs under the car, but there was no such thing under the car. The surrounding metal parts always wanted to hit him, and the turbulent airflow also
Keep causing him trouble.
Because this attempt is to allow the two sisters Nightingale and Yanque to hide and move, all actions must be based on the level of the two of them. Super computing martial arts will definitely not be used, and neither will the implants in the legs.
To use it, Zhuang Xuteng used a "relatively strong ordinary person" as a reference to move carefully under the car.
Try to reduce the difficulty as much as possible, improve the safety as much as possible, and be more considerate of others. Zhuang Xuteng climbed from directly under the carriage to the connection, turned around and climbed back again to verify various options for this route.
During the mission, there was a "treasure car" between the dining car and the sleeper car. The connection method was different from now, and it had a larger space. The current connection part was covered with hard canvas, completely blocking the top of his head.
Zhuang Xuteng tried several times, shook his head and stepped back. "The environment is different. There is no need to climb up. It is enough to know that people can be hidden under the car in advance. Well... there is no need to ask the two of them to come down and try. There is no need.
It's totally okay to go back to adaptive training - let the two of them rest more."
The next stop was half an hour later, and Zhuang Xuteng stayed under the car for half an hour. When he returned, Nightingale had fallen asleep, and Yanque showed great enthusiasm for going with him.
"Just rest, I've already figured it out, there's no need to worry about it."
Yanque was very surprised. She thought that Naike would like to get under the car with her, and she could also take this opportunity to get close to Naike again. Zhuang Xuteng explained it to her, saying that it was right for them to rest well and recover.
The best choice for the task.
"I feel like you are more like the commander of the entrusted task." Yanque curled his lips and said something from his heart.
Next, they rested in the carriage until the train entered the station on time. Zhuang Xuteng wrote down the entry and exit times of each station. Even if there were many stops on the day when the extra carriage was added, these times would definitely be helpful to the task.
.
Overall, the train was in good condition and more suitable for action. Zhuang Xuteng applied what he observed to the exercise venue to make the training more realistic. Then he had to solve the most critical part of the mission: takeoff.
The carriage load information obtained from the train system was the most important gain of this mission. Faced with this heavy number, both drivers scratched their heads. They discussed based on their own experience and believed that the lift of the balloon must be increased.
"It is absolutely impossible to just make up for the missing weight. The cargo below is too heavy, and it is not enough to just solve the problem of gravity. We must provide enough surplus power for the helicopter's maneuvering."
"How much do you need to add?" Steyr asked.
"It is best to provide sixty tons of lift. As long as it is slightly less than the weight of the carriage, it is better not to let it float upward." Grove touched his eyebrows and said: "We calculated the volume of the balloon based on this lift requirement and found that it can only
Use hydrogen, and nothing else will work. If the volume is too large, it will seriously interfere with flight. Hydrogen is more dangerous, but we can’t worry about that much.”
Muir brought the design drawing of the balloon and added: "The outer shell of the balloon should be made as thin as possible. It would be great if special fabric could be used. Hydrogen is too dangerous after all. I don't know if there is enough time..."
"Tell me what to use specifically, and I'll figure it out." Steyr took the design drawing, asked some questions about it, and then hurriedly left with Nightingale and Rock Bird.
They continued training. When they were separated, one group practiced moving the roof and assembling equipment, and one group practiced low-altitude flight landing, fast fixing of the helicopter and take-off with a load. The other group was Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, who were responsible for the situation in the car and completely
Relying on adaptability, there is nothing to practice at the moment, so we are in a "supervision" state.
Only after Nightingale and Yanque came back could Zhuang Xuteng be useful: guiding the two people to move under the carriage. Zhuang Xuteng found that he was a little more prepared. Both girls had arm implants installed, which allowed them to use their shoulders to communicate with each other.
The strength of their fingers allowed them to move flexibly in a narrow space. Their practice progress was much faster than expected, and they quickly became familiar with the movements, so Zhuang Xuteng was "unemployed" again.
Practice, practice, keep practicing, shorten the action time as much as possible, and increase proficiency at the same time. The Kent trio are the busiest. They have to move above the carriages, carry the equipment over the wind resistance, and jump over 7 carriages in total.
Currently they need six round trips to transport the balloon, tubes and all connecting equipment, but their goal is to reduce this to four, which can save a lot of time.
Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao also participated, training with them and thinking about how to save movements. The largest number of items to be transported is balloons, the heaviest is the chain connecting the helicopter and the carriage, and the largest equipment is for multiple balloons
Blowing valve bifurcation tube.
In addition to the quantity and weight of the equipment, the driving posture of the train will also affect the task. Since some pipes need to be left on the roof, it is necessary to leave a margin for the difference in the inner and outer diameters when the train turns. At the same time, in order to prevent the pipes from
Roll down from the edge of the roof - the roof is a central vault with slopes on both sides - and there is not much left. After they experimented many times, Wien suggested using some mountaineering equipment to add some climbing equipment to the top edge of the car.
Prepare hooks to block pipes that may slip.
"This increases the number of equipment. Do we need to make one more trip?" Ge Gongdao asked.
"You can slightly adjust the order of work." Prince explained to Gongdao patiently: "First transport the balloon equipment, two people stay to install it, and one person makes an extra trip to install these hooks. Wait for the balloon
After the basic installation is completed, leave one person to finish the inspection, and let two people come back first. Two strong men are enough to carry the pipes and valves. Because of the hooks, the difficulty of carrying the pipes is reduced."
"It's worth a try." Kent agreed to modify the original plan, and the three of them started rehearsing again.
The helicopter team also encountered some problems, mainly the need for better cooperation when landing on the train. The helicopter needs to lift less than gravity when landing. At this time, its flight attitude is very fragile, but the train will be bumpy. Two drivers
The author carefully checked the route and wanted to find a route that was long enough, straight enough, and flat enough, but at best it could only satisfy two of the three. If the time factor and stop-stop factors are also taken into account, the optimal solution is also the most difficult to solve.
: Straightness is satisfied first, and the priority of length can only be backward.
"In order to achieve height, it has no landing wheels and must land on its belly, which lacks some buffering. Short length only equals short time. Straight, that is, lateral and longitudinal displacement is actually more dangerous - for this helicopter without legs.
"Muir always felt that Zhuang Xuteng was the team leader of the four of them when Lucy was not here, so he explained to Zhuang Xuteng specifically: "Grove must fly low, fly fast, and then land quickly. Since there are no wheels, there is no space under the fuselage.
, so absolutely no one can stand there.”
The so-called standing people refer to the original plan for Kent, Wayne and Prince to wait for landing at the parking lot, each with a wheel, and use their strength to fix the helicopter. Without wheels, the nose of the helicopter comes down directly, and the scene is...
It's like swatting bugs with the soles of your shoes, so there must be no one underneath.
"I have to fly very accurately." Grove frowned and said, "Can't we really make light signals down there?"
"There can be no lights. The locomotive can only move forward in complete darkness." Muir was very determined and said: "I have modified the locomotive to cover all the firelight that may be exposed by the steam engine, including the chimney. I have to control it in the dark.
train."
"The train is on the rails, but I am in the sky. This is not the same thing." Grove curled his lips and said: "The low-light night vision device also has its limits. It is easy for us to get the train. The question is whether there will be other
Obstacles. I have to fly on the ground, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Then you go for a helicopter, don't use it for missions." Muir thought for a while and said: "We will use a sightseeing propeller plane during the day. We will each take one and stack it up. I will leave the flight path on it, and you can go
We conduct low-altitude reconnaissance, and then we stack up the Arhats and come back, so that the air traffic control side can only see one. One flight during the day, one flight at night, three times a week."
Zhuang Xuteng was shocked and asked: "Can you still do this?"
