Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

"At the age of less than 40, it can indeed be described this way."

Taylor naturally accepted Raphael's compliment.

"Of course, MIT was very helpful in getting the United Nations Heritage Agency expelled, so I'm working there now. I would have preferred to go to Stanford, but you know, the Salt Lake City explosion destroyed everything on the East Coast."

Taylor sighed. To this day, he laments the demise of the entire tech industry in Silicon Valley and the surrounding high-tech polytechnic universities.

Of course, every American who looks to the future will not only sigh for the destruction of New York, the world's financial center, but will also feel sad for the demise of Silicon Valley and everything around it.

Now the die is cast, what is gone cannot be recovered.

Raphael thought that it was not only MIT that contributed, but also some far-sighted politicians who helped him, so he was able to stay.

Just like the courses Taylor taught and the team he led at the Institute of Technology, they were strongly related to nuclear energy rather than relics.

“The decision is made in Washington,” she said.

"It's normal, I understand, and I wish you all the best."

About three hours later, the flight crew officer in the cabin distributed simple oxygen breathing masks to everyone, which could be used for 3 minutes. Rafael and Taylor had started breathing pure oxygen an hour ago.

Before skydiving, skydivers are provided with pure oxygen to remove nitrogen from their lungs.

Because at the cruising altitude of the C-17, after leaving the pressurized cabin, the nitrogen accumulated in the human lungs will expand, causing unbearable pain and even threatening life.

This is altitude decompression sickness.

If one could reach an altitude of 10 feet and be directly exposed to the external environment, the extremely low air pressure would cause the oxygen in the blood to begin to boil, directly endangering one's life.

But that kind of height is only for extreme sports challengers.

At this time, the flight crew officer in the cabin gave a signal, and Raphael, Asuka, Lingyin and Luhui stood up one after another, checked each other's parachute bags, and then grabbed the dual expert in relics and nuclear energy who was going to accompany them parachuting and checked his high-altitude skydiving equipment.

Then, the transport plane's movable rear cabin slowly opened, Taylor covered his eyes, and let the breeze blow on his face.

A few minutes later, he saw a small parachute on a gray-painted CCM MK3-SOC special warfare boat open with a "snap" and drag the boat out from the tail of the plane little by little.

There was all the equipment they needed.

According to the plan, the C-17 would first drop the ship, the equipment on board, and the supplies needed after landing, and then drop the humanoid team.

"Click, click, click..."

Raphael could hear the sound of the boat moving on metal rollers toward the hatch. The sound became more and more rapid until the boat was completely off the ramp rails.

After a while, the main parachute of the main assault boat opened.

Lingyin stood at the edge and cheered. She raised her thumbs, making a gesture that everything was going well. The rest of the entourage in the cabin cheered as well.

In the vast night sky, the red light flashing repeatedly on the top of the main parachute is clearly visible.

The parachute controlled the assault boat's descent speed very well. As long as it could descend smoothly, 30 minutes later, the humanoid team would approach with Taylor at a descent speed of 250 kilometers per minute, and finally land on the sea with the assault boat in less than 3 minutes.

This assault boat is equipped with a MK-19 howitzer launcher and an M2HB machine gun position, and has integrated UHF/VHF/SATCOMM communication equipment and maritime navigation equipment.

It can only be said that the US military is wealthy and powerful. Even though there are only 5 people, they allocated a assault boat that can accommodate 1 people at once.

At this time, the third red light came on in the cabin.

Raphael took off his oxygen mask and shouted to Taylor, "Professor, you are going to jump with me. Are you ready?"

As she spoke, she tied the fixed end of the tandem skydiving belt tightly around her chest and finally connected it with several rings.

A few hours ago, the professor hurried over from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

But when Taylor got on the C-17 transport plane, he realized that what he had to do was not only to assist the "Enfield" team in investigating the collapsed radioactive contaminated area, but he also had to jump from a high altitude into the North Atlantic first.

Only then did he wake up from his trance.

The professor is very thin, and the hair on his forehead is combed up with hair oil, giving him a manly and mature impression.

However, Raphael felt that after he jumped, even hair oil would not be able to protect his hairstyle.

He looked nervous when she started talking about the skydiving process and what they might encounter.

"Ever parachuted before?"

"No," Taylor replied.

"Listen, I'm going to push you to the edge and tap you on the shoulder twice." Raphael stood on tiptoe and tapped Taylor's shoulder twice, "Just like this. Then you lean forward, and then rely on gravity. Do you understand?"

"Okay," Taylor put on the oxygen mask, "Gravity, gravity is a good thing, it will protect us."

"Look at me and relax. We are going to jump from 3200 meters higher than the top of Mount Everest. The pure oxygen you just breathed into your body will prevent you from fainting at the altitude. When the time comes, your body will lose control and start spinning.

At this time, I will cut off the connection between you and me and let you fall freely.

If we didn't do that, the parachute would get tangled up around us. Tighter than a cigarette.

Like I said, relax, it's a blessing in disguise if we are that unlucky. You were unconscious when you hit the water."

"That's a good thing."

Professor Taylor nodded nervously and kept looking back at the pitch-black night sky.

"That's a good thing, but I will do my best to save your life before I cut the rope that connects you and me."

Raphael patted Taylor's shoulder and looked at Lingyin.

Lingyin nodded and gestured for 5 minutes.

"Five minutes, get ready."

Raphael responded.

At this time, the expert's face had turned pale. After that, he did not say another word until he jumped out of the cabin.

At least, Rafael's first skydive was in Arizona, and his first skydive was an actual one, into the rough North Atlantic Ocean.

"We'll be fine," Raphael finally reassured him.

But Professor Taylor didn't seem to believe Raphael's words, because both his body shape and gender made him feel that he was unreliable, especially after hearing those words "fainting" and "cutting the connecting cable".

"Ready!" the jumpmaster shouted, sending a 30-second countdown signal before the jump to the parachute team.

Raphael pushed Taylor forward and could feel the professor's legs beginning to tremble. He no longer had the pride, confidence, and superiority he had shown when he introduced himself earlier.

"Hey, professor, show some composure, relax!"

As long as I can remember what she said, I will be doing her a great favor.

"Green light, jump!"

Chapter 162 Entering the water

When you reach the edge of the cabin, you can see the beautiful scenery of the water and sky meeting on the horizon.

Raphael pushed Taylor forward, patted his shoulders twice, and then shouted at him:

"Get in position! Remember what I just said, relax, lean forward, and let gravity take care of everything."

This signal meant that he should go to the parachute station. Rafael wanted him to stand on the edge of the hatch so that when they jumped out together, there would be no bumps or accidental hooks.

But the guy was overwhelmed by instinctive fear and stood there motionless.

Raphael could feel his feet trying to lift, but the soles seemed nailed to the deck.

Raphael patted Tyler's shoulder again and yelled at him, "Get in position!"

He still didn't move.

At this time, Luhui, who was supposed to leave last, leaped into the night sky.

There was no time to wait any longer. So Raphael pushed everyone to the front and rushed out of the hatch.

One, two, three flashing green lights were gradually approaching, and below them, there was a faint flashing red light.

Raphael controlled Taylor's body and forcibly restricted the movements of his hands.

Tandem skydiving itself is not dangerous, and all they have to do now is catch up with the assault boat in front.

So you have to catch up quickly while maintaining your posture, and then open the parachute.

At this moment, the parachute opened with a "bang" behind him.

This small parachute can help two people stay stable and freely control the speed of descent.

Raphael looked down and saw that the light of Lingyin and the others almost surrounded the red light of the assault boat.

Just like hundreds of previous skydivings, she felt the rope along her cheek, pulled it hard, and opened the main parachute.

The problem is that plans always cannot keep up with changes. Raphael sighed and broadcast the situation through the puppet's communication protocol.

Suddenly, all the roar and noise of the planes disappeared and everything became quiet.

Only the parachute rustled in the wind.

Looking around, the night sky without industrial pollution is so beautiful, full of stars.

The fresh air that hits you in the face makes you feel comfortable. A few white clouds are floating high in the distance, emitting a faint glow like the moon.

Glancing down, Raphael confirmed Asuka and the others' parachutes again. The three of them were circling around each other, forming a huge vortex.

In the center of the vortex, the dim red light flickering was their next means of transportation.

The sea is relatively calm with only small waves.

Suddenly, there was only a flashing red light in sight, and the indicator lights belonging to Fei Niao, Ling Yin and Lu Hui disappeared. They flew down smoothly and landed in the sea.

Raphael looked at the altimeter and saw that it was the final stage. She immediately opened the main parachute, curled up her legs, and jumped into the sea water at about 25 degrees Celsius with a "bang".

Taylor really had to thank the North Atlantic Current, otherwise he would have been frozen to death.

Raphael immediately unfastened the safety buckle connecting the two of them and freed himself from the parachute straps.

Then she began to swim towards the professor.

Behind her, the spare parachute bag was filled with sea water. The heavy parachute bag and the entire parachute sank into the water little by little, and finally fell into the abyss.

When she paddled over, Professor Taylor was wearing a life jacket and treading water.

"How's it going, Professor?" Raphael asked.

"That's crazy! That's crazy!"

Under Lingyin's delicate operation, the assault boat approached little by little. This guy probably didn't understand the situation, and kept muttering "this is the craziest decision he has ever made in his life" and so on.

Asuka and Luhui each grabbed one of Taylor's hands, easily lifted him up, and stuffed him into the cabin.

Because this type of assault boat can accommodate 23 people, the original passenger space can be used to carry supplies and can also provide a very good resting space.

"I say, did any of you encounter any sharks?" Rafael sat at the stern, dangling his feet in the water.

The undulating current pushed the flippers this way and that.

"No," Fei Niao shook her head. She knew there were sharks in this area, but she hadn't seen any approaching yet.

Perhaps this sea area, like the Sea of ​​Japan, has been polluted by extremely high concentrations of collapse fluid.

But this is not an area like the Sea of ​​Japan where the exchange rate of seawater is very slow. The North Atlantic warm current has always passed through here. Even if it has been polluted, it would have been diluted after a few years.

Luhui pointed at Raphael's 4 o'clock position and said, "Look, what is that big shadow underwater?"

"what?"

Raphael immediately retracted his flippers.

Let the killer whales handle the underwater matters.

"Okay, give me some time to change. And also give the professor some time. He just went through a skydive and slept in the water for seven or eight minutes. He needs some time to adjust himself."

Green Hui pointed to the corner of the assault boat and said:

"Mr. Taylor is very excited. He really needs some time to calm down."

Raphael greeted Lingyin and Feiniao in the cab, turned around and went into the semi-open room where the MK19 grenade launcher was operated.

"Would you like a can of cold beer?" Lu Hui said as he watched Taylor from outside. "There's also Coke in the small cabinet on the boat."

"Let's talk about the beer when we get ashore. Give the Coke to our consultant. He needs some sugar to relieve his mental fatigue."
