In the open space outside the scientific research center, a large helicopter is being towed out of the hangar by a tractor.

The shape of this helicopter is very different from ordinary helicopters, because ordinary helicopters have only one propeller, while this helicopter has two huge propellers.

And these two huge propellers are not placed on both sides or at the front and rear ends of the fuselage like some twin-propeller aircraft. Instead, they are all placed on the top of the plane, showing an oblique and crossed appearance.

This kind of helicopter is called a parallel twin-rotor helicopter, and only a few helicopters in the world use this design.

Its propellers are specially adjusted and designed. Although their trajectories will interfere with each other when rotating, they will not hit each other.

This design can improve the helicopter's load capacity and stability, although it will cause the dual-rotor helicopter to lose flexibility.

However, considering that the purpose is to improve carrying capacity and stability, this is not unacceptable.

Of course, this helicopter is not a product of Yanguo's own country, but one of the things Chen Xin and the others brought back from Lucia, a prototype of a dual-rotor helicopter developed in the pre-Soviet era.

According to the records found, it should be a product of the same era as the V12 helicopter, which was the result of Suvia's development of heavy-duty helicopters at that time.

However, just like the V12 was not put into production, this dual-rotor helicopter was also shelved and not put into production. There were only two prototypes that Chen Xin and the others found.

Naturally, the two prototypes were shipped back by Chen Xin and the others. After being shipped back, one of the prototypes was handed over to the people in the equipment research room for disassembly and research, while the other was placed in the warehouse for backup after maintenance and overhaul.

When Chen Xin was thinking about rescuing Lucia, he considered the need to quickly support Lucia and transformed the spare prototype into its current form, intending to use it as a medical transport aircraft.

I didn't expect that what was originally just a backup plan would actually come in handy now.

There are two high-power engines on the top of this helicopter. They were originally fuel engines, but during the upgrade, Chen Xin transformed them into the electric engines currently used by Yan Guo, and prepared two triple sets for each of its engines. Isotope thermoelectric battery powered.

One set is for power supply and one set is for backup, so you are prepared for any trouble.

Thanks to such modifications, the helicopter's maximum take-off weight has soared to sixty tons, while its fuselage only weighs fifteen tons, allowing it to take off with a maximum load of forty-five tons.

Because it was originally intended to be used as a medical transport aircraft, the interior layout of the cabin was based on the design of the Mi-26. The cockpit can accommodate a six-person air crew, and the cargo compartment has twenty folding seats along the cargo wall. The internal space can be Accommodates two light infantry fighting vehicles or two Titans.

If not carrying Titans, but only soldiers, the helicopter's cabin can accommodate eighty soldiers equipped with exoskeletons.

Now, in the cabin of this helicopter lie two specially-equipped Titans that have undergone lightweight modifications, four heavy-duty mechas with enhanced firepower, and forty soldiers wearing protective military exoskeletons.

They will board this plane and fly directly to the capital of Lucia to carry out a rescue mission.

Because troops could not be mobilized temporarily, the forty soldiers on board the plane were all soldiers of the special forces who originally guarded the scientific research center. They were the only ones most suitable for this task. After all, they relied on the innate advantages of the scientific research center, and every time When new equipment is developed, it is handed over to them for testing, and they are the most familiar with these new equipment.

"There is only one helicopter, will there be any problems?" Tang Tang asked Chen Xin, looking at the helicopter that was nervously preparing for takeoff.

"There shouldn't be any problems. This helicopter itself was specially designed by me to be able to quickly perform long-distance missions. Considering the long flight time for long-distance missions, I also specially designed it to accommodate a six-person crew. The cabin is equipped with two crews, which can be rotated to avoid fatigue caused by long-term flights." Chen Xin explained to Tang Tang, on the one hand to comfort her, and at the same time to enhance his own confidence: "And the helicopter flying height is relatively high. It’s relatively low and can avoid relatively high air currents, so there won’t be any problems.”

"I hope they can successfully complete the mission and rescue everyone." After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, Tang Tang nodded slightly, and then asked Chen Xin: "As for the spread of the ancient virus in Lucia, I saw it before You seem to be very concerned about this matter, are you worried about the virus spreading to our country?"

"There are concerns in this regard, and even if the virus from Lucia has not spread, we have to guard against the outbreak of similar incidents in China." Chen Xin did not deny his worries about this matter.

Hearing Chen Xin's words, Tang Tang couldn't help but look sideways. Although he felt that Chen Xin was a little too worried, considering the current situation, he should really be prepared.

So he asked Chen Xin: "What do you think? The current situation is completely different from the past, and epidemic prevention work is difficult to do!"

Chen Xin naturally agreed with this, but he was already prepared.

He took out a health bracelet temporarily transformed from nanomolecules from his pocket and handed it to Tang Tang. Chen Xin explained the function of this thing to her.

"It would be very effective if it could be monitored in real time, but how can you guarantee that everyone will be willing to wear it?" Tang Tang seemed to have thought more about this. She didn't think that a bracelet alone would be enough. Solve the problem: "And from what you said, I plan to use it to detect those who are infected with the virus but have not yet developed symptoms. If the physical condition does not change, how can the bracelet detect it?"

"So this thing is just a preliminary plan, and the country may not be able to popularize this thing on a large scale now." Chen Xin has actually considered the problem Tang Tang mentioned, and with what he knew before, he has actually also considered it. Consider upgrading and adjusting the bracelet plan.

However, Tang Tang was not optimistic about the bracelet solution. He raised the bracelet in his hand and looked at it before shaking his head and saying: "No matter how low the cost of such a bracelet is, it will be a huge investment to popularize it nationwide and make it available to everyone." Huge investments, even from the national level, are not easily achieved.

And considering that the bracelet has a certain monitoring function, whether ordinary people can accept it is also a question. If possible, I suggest Xiao Chen that you should think of other methods. I don’t think it is suitable to use this bracelet. "
