The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1019 I've traveled across the ocean to see you!
"what!?"

Chen Hanzhou looked surprised: "That giant sphere is amazing! It seems to have a self-protection mechanism! In that case... we're not afraid that the Creator will discover it first!"

After saying that, his eyes flashed, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Brother Su, I have a plan!"

"Huh? What plan?"

Zhang Su looked at Chen Hanzhou with some doubt. He rarely offered advice before, and his personality had changed very obviously.

When a person's personality changes, they may not feel it very obviously. Chen Hanzhou was like that. He didn't feel anything was wrong at all. With a sinister smile on his face, he whispered.

"Why don't we find a way to spread this news to Genesis? They'll definitely come to investigate, and they'll most likely be sending helicopters. Hehe, once they arrive, they're sure to suffer a big setback!"

Zhang Su was both amused and exasperated by Chen Hanzhou's increasingly dark thoughts. He patted Chen Hanzhou on the shoulder and said, "I have no problem with tricking Genesis, but instead of wasting time on this, let's figure out a way to get this ball back as soon as possible!"

Chen Hanzhou seemed to know that his opinion would not be adopted, but he didn't care. He followed Zhang Su's words and said, "If we can't get close from the air, we'll need to use a boat."

"So it's definitely not going to work today!" Zhang Su shrugged, then stomped on the solid ice and pointed under the ice, saying, "I've been squatting here studying this for ages, what's this?"

"I don't know, it looks a bit like the regulator on an audio device. Should we dig it out and take a look?"

Chen Hanzhou scratched his head; the strange device beneath the ice touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

"It's a strange thing, but it's definitely man-made. There are English letters and numbers written on it. Let's dig it up and take a look!"

"Row!"

Without further ado, breaking the ice was a piece of cake for Zhang Su and Chen Hanzhou. With a long-handled bone hammer and a steel rod, they chiseled away for five minutes and pulled the square instrument out of the ice. If they weren't afraid of damaging it, it would have only taken half a minute!

Whisper.

"Heh, it doesn't look very big, but it's quite heavy!"

Zhang Su brushed away the ice fragments from the instrument and held it in his hand. It was smaller than it appeared from inside the ice, about the size of a normal watermelon. The metal casing was icy cold and very heavy, weighing about forty or fifty pounds!

"There are a few knobs here, but their functions aren't clearly labeled. Brother Su, does this look like an antenna? Why don't you try turning it?"

Chen Hanzhou smacked his lips. This trip had certainly broadened his horizons; he had discovered quite a few strange and unusual things.

"What's the point of twisting it... I don't even know how long it's been soaking, it's probably already ruined."

There were three knobs in total. Zhang Su turned them one by one, thinking that the battery must have been dead long ago. But when the last knob clicked, a red pulse light lit up on the instrument.

"Is there still electricity?"

"Wow... Pretty durable, it's not broken at all!"

Frozen under the ice, it must have been submerged in seawater for at least a few months, yet it still functions.

"There's probably still a problem; a flashing red light usually indicates an issue, right?"

Chen Hanzhou offered his opinion based on his experience.

"maybe."

Click.

Zhang Su turned the knob off again, looked up at the sky, and muttered, "Could it be one of the few things that fell from the sky? Does a black box look like this?"

Chen Hanzhou shook his head in confusion, indicating that he had not paid attention to it.

"Never mind, let's take it back and let Dr. Fu take a look. He knows a lot of strange and unusual things!"

“Okay, let’s go.” Chen Hanzhou nodded.

Before leaving, Zhang Su looked at the ball of light again. Ten minutes had passed since he finished meditating, and the Frost Heart still hadn't changed. It seemed that the repair frequency was a bit low.

"Could it be that the time is calculated from the moment the light directly hits the object?" he wondered to himself, but finding no answer, he turned and left.

They came quickly, and they're going back just as fast.

"Ha, Su-ge and the others are back! Hey, they even brought us some souvenirs!"

Qi Xiaoshuai was the first to spot Zhang Su and Chen Hanzhou, and also noticed that Chen Hanzhou was carrying something on his shoulder.

thump.

The heavy instruments were placed on the ice coffin by Chen Hanzhou.

"Come on, everyone, come and take a look. Does anyone know what this is?"

Without Zhang Su's prompting, the six men from the four sides gathered around him without prior arrangement.

"So sturdy, what is this?"

Zhao Dezhu patted the square instrument, making a solid thud, then lifted it; it was heavy. "This… um, what's this in English? CN, the last one is a V, right? There seem to be numbers after that, but it's so blurry. Damn it, they could have just written it properly for printing, why use that dot-matrix LED font… what numbers have that bar at the top?"

Wu Baokang planned to start by looking at the vague English labels on the instrument.

"Two, three, five, six, seven, eight, nine, these numbers all have bars on them, yes, even zeros, haha, are you dumbfounded? This is the least recognizable part."

Qi Xiaoshuai answered Wu Baokang's questions, but at the same time poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Seeing that the group was guessing back and forth without any results, Zhang Su looked at Fu Weijun, who was frowning and deep in thought: "Dr. Fu, do you have any ideas?"

"This shouldn't be happening... how could this thing be here?"

Fu Weijun did not give a direct answer, but his words clearly indicated that he knew the origin of this thing!
"Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Seeing that Fu Weijun was putting on that mysterious act again, Duan Wuhu nudged him.

"I'm not keeping you in suspense any longer. I'm thinking..." Fu Weijun stepped forward, turned the knob, and said to everyone, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a signal transmitting device for military ships. It should be called a signal beacon."

"Oh?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Fu Weijun's answer matched everyone's expectations for the square box. It turned out to be military equipment. No wonder they had never seen it before. That made perfect sense!

"The fact that this thing appeared on Turtle Rock Island means that there used to be warships in this area?"

Zhang Su asked with a strange expression, "We just got back two helicopters, and if we can bring back a warship too, that would be amazing!"

"Hey, warships, how impressive! Brother Su, when they dock at Qincheng Port, we'll have land, sea, and air forces all at once. Tianma Island is awesome!"

Qi Xiaoshuai had already begun to fantasize about owning warships, but his enthusiasm quickly wilted: "No way, the coastline is frozen for dozens of meters, it wouldn't be convenient for warships to enter or leave the port."

However, Fu Weijun's next words left everyone stunned.

"This isn't equipment from our country, it's amazing..."

"No way, how could such a magnificent warship possibly come to our vicinity? This is Qinhai Bay, are you crazy?"

Duan Wuhu was the first to raise questions, saying, "This is sacred and inviolable! What is going on here?!"
"Yes, Dr. Fu, is that right?"

Zhao Dezhu began to have doubts. When he used to work, he would chat with his coworkers about everything under the sun, covering astronomy, geography, military affairs, and politics. He also had some knowledge of the global situation.

Such impressive military equipment should never have appeared in Qinhai Bay!

"See for yourselves."

Fu Weijun took out a flashlight, turned on the ultraviolet beam and shone it on the English text on the instrument. Faint traces appeared in the blurry area, not very clear but enough to be distinguished.

"CNV-70? What does this code mean?"

Everyone recognizes simple English letters and numbers, but Zhang Su and the others didn't know what they represented.

"What kind of international joke is this?"

It wasn't Fu Weijun who spoke, but Wu Baokang, who said with a strange expression, "This is the code name of the great aircraft carrier, 70, 70, let me think... Eisenhower is 69, Lincoln is 70? No, Lincoln is 72, this is the code name of the aircraft carrier USS Calvin Klein!"

Everyone fell silent, their expressions varying as they looked at the equipment lying on the ice coffin.

"As far as I know, the Calvin Klein aircraft carrier usually docks at the San Diego Naval Base in California. It's very strange that the signal beacon would appear here!"

Fu Weijun was studying at Da Piao Liang University, so he was quite familiar with these kinds of things.

"Wow, that's amazing! Something from California, an aircraft carrier, has appeared in Qinhai Bay? Over 10,000 kilometers away, is this a real-life 'crossing the ocean to see me' story?"

Zhang Su felt it was too surreal, rubbed his forehead, and didn't know what to say.

"I remember... may I say a few words?"

Liu Lingping suddenly spoke, instantly attracting the attention of the others, who raised their hands somewhat nervously.

"Yes, Dr. Liu, feel free to speak your mind!"

Zhang Su raised his hand.

Liu Lingping nodded, then pointed to the southeast.

"I remember seeing a news report before the disaster, around June, that a US Navy carrier group was moving into the USS Calvin Klein naval base. Could it be the USS Calvin Klein?"

"That's right! Dr. Liu is right!"

Zhao Dezhu clapped his hands and said confidently, "Now that you mention it, I remember. Old Peng from the pork stall mentioned this news, saying that plastic surgery faces look like grandsons, and so on. He mentioned it briefly, it was this Ka, Kavin's aircraft carrier, no doubt about it!"
