Chapter four hundred and twenty-seven Time difference
Fortunately, the reconnaissance team walked along the new route for less than one kilometer, and they found another heavy truck on the edge of the cliff.
The truck compartment has tumbled off the cliff, leaving a trailer head lying there alone.
Compared with the truck driver in the tracked armored patrol car who doesn’t even wear shoes, the situation is slightly better-at least he is wearing a set of high-temperature protection equipment, but a broken metal frame runs through his abdomen and nails him to the seat surface.
Although the improved airbag can protect the driver’s head, it can’t stop the sharp metal section
A deputy armed soldier sits in the passenger seat of the truck. From the armband logo, it can be known that he is an escort belonging to the third transport squadron of the stationed base. His legs were completely deformed, and the console gave him blood from the thigh, dyeing the bottom fabric of the thermal insulation rubber layer with purple-black pants fabric, which left a lot of scratches. He tried many times to pull his legs out of the console, but obviously failed.
His helmet and mask show that the water in the whole facial tissue has been evaporated and twisted, and his face looks a little scary. A small amount of blood has spilled from his nostrils and condensed into dark brown lumps.
The death of the escort was caused by a bullet from the mouth, penetrating the jaw and brain. A 9 mm self-defense pistol fell to the muzzle of the cab, stained with a few strands of oral tissue that had been carbonized by high temperature, and the right hand of the deceased hung the pistol less than ten and a half centimeters square.
"It was suicide," Ivan said.
"I can see you" Kelan nodded his head.
The truck people also failed to find any valuable clues-this truck was carrying out the "emergency evacuation notice" received during transportation, and they also knew what happened at the station base.
However, it can be seen from the driving records that after receiving this notice, the truck first turned around and headed for the base, but after driving less than two kilometers, it turned back to the highway again and ran at a high speed.
"As soon as they were obviously skeptical about this emergency evacuation notice, they wouldn’t have turned to the base … but not far away, they realized the seriousness of the problem and fled outside the mining area according to the requirements in the notice. I think they should have seen something horrible …" Kelan analyzed.
"Is it an earthquake?" Asked the hound
"It is possible …"
It is possible that as soon as the word "can" was said, Kelan’s brow suddenly wrinkled. He patted his helmet as hard as he thought of something. "No! We missed a key element! This mistake is too low-level. We shouldn’t make it! "
"What?" The hound looked at Koran in bewilderment.
"Time difference! We ignored this emergency evacuation notice and the time difference when the earthquake occurred! " Ke Lan said quickly, "According to the data observed by the Ark, it was 9: 30 p.m. on the same day when an earthquake occurred in the deep part of the lava mining area, but this emergency evacuation notice was sent at 9: 22 p.m., which was a whole minute earlier than when the earthquake occurred. Even if the seismic wave takes a certain time, the monitoring data error can’t be so big."
"You mean that the station base predicted the earthquake first?" Ayabuliya confirmed to Koran in a very serious tone.
"Literally, it can be understood, but my subconscious keeps telling me that things are not so simple." Kelan shook his head.
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
"The earthquake was predicted a minute ago and then an emergency evacuation notice was issued to all personnel and units in the melting fire mining area. Logically, there was no problem … but something was wrong with this time difference-minutes before this emergency evacuation notice!" Ke Lan said
"Koran when can you talk to this guy not to sell? Can’t you explain the problem in one breath? Tell me, is there anything wrong with this minute? " The hound complained
"I’m not saying this? Are you interrupting me? " Ke Lan blurted out a sentence and then went on to the previous topic. "The problem is that this minute is not so abundant, but it is not so nervous. But the whole emergency evacuation notice has two words. Didn’t the sender even type one more line to explain the article?"
As soon as Kelan’s words came out, others, including Aya, fell into a short meditation.
It is true that this emergency evacuation notice is never up to standard, even if the person in charge of sending the notice is in a hurry to escape, the word "run" should not be allowed throughout.
As the hound said earlier, this is really a dereliction of duty.
It doesn’t take too long to explain a cause and effect, just two sentences, and it takes less than ten seconds for people with fast typing speed … Even if you really don’t enter words, the voice input method or simply adjust the emergency instruction mode is much more reliable than this mindless "run away"
Just like the Leviathan incident, Curran once asked Leighton to send "Emergency 39" and "Emergency", although these codes are equally simple, they can be easily understood by comparing them with passwords.
They also saw the result of editing the emergency evacuation notice in violation of regulations-this truck not only didn’t evacuate outside the mining area for the first time after receiving this notice, but also turned around and wanted to return to the stationing base for verification … This kind of failure to edit the notice according to regulations is not convincing!
Even if the editor of this emergency evacuation notice escaped from the mining area alive, it is estimated that he will be sentenced to dereliction of duty …
"There is another place where the time axis is not right. Look at this driving record-at 9: 22: 3, the truck received an emergency evacuation notice and the driver stopped the car; At 9: 23: 15, the truck turned and headed for the station base; At 9: 25: 40, the truck turned around for the second time and the speed reached the limit, "Kelan continued." At this time, it was nearly five minutes before the earthquake broke out, and then the truck ran for more than ten kilometers at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour before it was chased by the earthquake … What did the former truck driver see that would make him change his mind to return to the base? "
Chapter four hundred and twenty Scraps
"Now that you mention it, I think something is strange …" The hound held his own bar and said, "That cloth … what’s your name again?"
"Bria" Aya Bria took a look at the hound and knew that the other party was deliberately teasing herself, but she didn’t show such a tough attitude as before. "Could you be a little more serious?"
"I am very serious!" The hound deliberately put on a dignified look. "So team leader Bria doesn’t know what you think about this?"
"The editor of the emergency evacuation notice has committed serious dereliction of duty," Ayabuliya hesitated for a moment and then said.
"We all know this. What do you think of this obvious problem?" Said the hound
"I won’t jump to conclusions without conclusive evidence"
"I didn’t let you decide that it was just a guess." The hound looked at her with a smile. "Don’t even dare to guess?"
"What do you want me to say?" Aya asks.
"It’s because I’m stupid that I can’t figure out why," said the hound, looking at Kelan. "What about Kelan?"
"I suspect that the earthquake and the stationing base have it," said Ke Lan.
"Do you think this earthquake was caused by the base in Tuen Mun?" Leighton said, "but … didn’t we have this assumption before? The conclusion is that the stationing base has no ability to trigger an earthquake of this magnitude. "
"The absence of the garrison base does not mean that there are no remains of Alpha." Ivan shook his head.
"How to pull the alpha ruins again? The two … are not direct? " Leighton said with some wonder, "if the machine in the ruins is triggered, it is impossible for the station base to get an early warning, right?" We are also old hunters, and the contact with the Alpha trap machine is not too small. Let alone minutes, it is estimated that there will be no second reaction. "
"That if they deliberately to trigger this machine? That makes sense … "Ivan analyzed." Suppose that there is something very important in the ruins, but if you want to get that thing, it will inevitably trigger the person in charge of the action to let the people in the base station evacuate before entering the ruins … "
"That’s not right," Kelan shook his head. "If this is the case, we can evacuate a few days ago and wait until the personnel and property department of the stationed base withdraw from the mining area before exploring the ruins, so that we can minimize the losses. It’s not like this, we didn’t send a two-word emergency evacuation notice until a few minutes before the earthquake-and for what reason must this level of action be reported to the Ark for filing?"
"That’s true …" Ivan nodded. "But then the whole logic becomes an infinite loop."
