"No, how could it be?"

Yang Luo was confused. After the previous two corrections and calculations, he successfully found the target. Why did the last target not be at the calculated position?

What exactly went wrong?

"Report to the command center, the fourth target is missing. Please confirm whether it has been put into operation?"

Yang Luo controlled the fighter jets to expand the search range and circled around the air, but still found nothing, so he had to report it.

"301, the command center confirms that all the targets are placed." The commander replied, and he was also confused, frowned and looked at the images presented on the big screen.

He had asked the troops who were deploying the target and got a positive answer. He also confirmed that Yang Luo's calculation was not wrong. Just like what they calculated, he did find the location where the target should have drifted. However, why did the target not be seen?

He didn't understand.

Hearing the commander's answer, Yang Luo was even more confused. He frowned and thought hard. Looking at the empty sea level, he asked tentatively: "Command Center, is it possible that the target has sunk?"

"Impossible." The commander said affirmatively, "Even if the target is overturned by the wind and waves, it cannot sink and can still float on the sea."

"Where did the target go?" Yang Luo asked.

In one sentence, the commander asked speechlessly, and after a while, he said, "In this way, you can search for the direction where the target should have drifted, and the specific data is being transmitted."

Even the command center cannot find the target, so this is all there is to do.

Yang Luo clicked on the central multi-function display screen, checked the data transmitted from the command center carefully, then turned the rudder and searched along the way.

The trajectory of the target drift given by the command center is very complicated. It is not a straight line drift, but a circle and a lot of bends, which is much different from the trajectory of the drift calculated by Yang Luo. However, in the end, they all went to the same place and floated to the same place.

After searching in reverse along the trajectory, after more than ten minutes of going around, an unmanned island entered Yang Luo's eyes. There was no name on the map, only a 4531 number code.

The island is not big, about 600 square meters, and the sea is surrounded by cliffs and rugged rocks. There is a low hill in the central area with low bushes growing on it.

Flying 2,000 meters above the island, there was a small beach that caught my eye. Yang Luo was stunned, his eyes frozen on the beach, with three huge English letters os on it!

International general emergency distress signal.

"Reported to the command center, and found an abnormal situation. A 'sos' distress signal was found on the beach of the uninhabited island number 4531, but no one was found on the island." After careful observation, Yang Luo called the command center through the smooth radio communication at all times and reported the situation he found.

"301, please wait, the query is underway." After hearing this, the commander looked serious and arranged for verification information. He stared at the screen with his eyes and enlarged clear images. The words sos can be vaguely recognized.

Soon, some staff members reported that the relevant departments had not received any help.

"301, the situation has been verified, and the relevant departments have not received a distress signal. They are now given temporary tasks and lowered the height to view the specific situation." The commander pressed the telephone button and issued instructions seriously.

It may involve the safety of people's lives, which is a big deal and cannot be ignored. In contrast, the task of finding targets is no longer important.

"301 received, lower the height to view, it's finished." Yang Luo's face was serious and he took over the task without hesitation.

Steering, pressing rod dive.

Flying smoothly, he drew an arc, turned around at 180 degrees, and returned to the sky above the island.

The height continues to decrease, the speed reduction plate is opened, the flap is adjusted to reduce the speed.

"boom!"

The roar of the aviation engine gradually became louder and louder, diving from 2,000 meters of the air, reducing the altitude, but the speed did not increase, but decreased.

It was not until the height of 200 meters that Yang Luo changed the lever and hovered over the island.

The speed at this time is only 200 kilometers per hour, with an angle of attack of 25 degrees, and the throttle valve is about to be pushed to the end.

Returning to the sky above the beach again, Yang Luo stared at the beach with his sharp eyes as sharp as an eagle, looked carefully, and made a judgment in his heart.

"Reporting to the command center, there are traces of human activities on the uninhabited island No. 4531. A fire was found, and the distress signal was confirmed to be recently sent, but no figure was found, and it was suspected that it had left." Yang Luo reported his discovery and judgment.

No figure was found?

The commander frowned and asked, "Can you tell me how long it has been away?"

"Command Center, when was the last tide?" Yang Luo thought for a while and asked.

The commander checked for a while and said, "The most recent full tide was at 3:30 in the morning, the dry tide was at 9:30 in the morning, and the next full tide was at around 3:30 in the afternoon."

“That is, the tide is rising now, but it has not yet reached its highest position.”

"Yes."

Yang Luo knew it in his mind. The pressing rod lowered its height to 100 meters and swept past the beach. His eyes could see clearly the footprints and other traces left on the beach in a glance.

After pulling up the climbing height, Yang Luo said solemnly: "The footprints on the beach are very clear and are not covered by the sea water when the tide is full. Therefore, it should be judged that the time for him to leave should be this morning."

"This morning?" The commander was stunned and immediately came to his senses and said, "Since yesterday, this area has been chartered as a military restricted area. It is impossible for ships to move. How did they leave?"

"I found a relatively wide drag mark. I highly suspect it was left by escape equipment such as rafts made by the trapped people." Yang Luo stared at the direction of the continental shelf with his eyes and said worriedly.

The island here is 110 nautical miles away from the land, which is a total of kilometers.

At such a long distance, it is undoubtedly difficult to return to land by rafts alone, and it is full of dangers.

When the sea is calm, it seems to be uninflicted and is not very dangerous. However, it is moody and turns its face faster than reading a book. It is still calm in the last second, and the next second may be turbulent in anger, which is extremely dangerous.

"301, you will immediately search in the direction of possible departure. Be sure to find the person who sent a distress signal. I will contact HNA's helicopter to take off immediately." The commander made a quick decision and gave new instructions to Yang Luo.

"301 received, guaranteed to complete the task." Yang Luo said seriously, and then made an operation with both hands and feet.

Push the throttle valve, steer the rudder, and climb the pull rod.

The nose hovering at a low altitude was raised, and accelerated to a height of 1,000 meters, then changed to a level flight and flew at high speed in the direction of land.
