Chapter 882 (2/2)
In fact, the guide told a lie. He wasn't the one who detected 480km. It was his brother, but his brother was not alive at this time. His reputation is more due to his brother, and there are still many deficiencies in his ability.
Tony bloom thought that even if he couldn't reach 480 kilometers, 300 kilometers would still be fine. Communication can cover 300 kilometers of the Amazon jungle, which is also a great achievement.
So he made a decision that he regretted all his life and continued to move forward to 300 kilometers. Although there are many black cloud employees, they have been ordered before they come. As long as Tony bloom does not violate the cooperation agreement and disclose military vehicle technology, they must unconditionally implement their decision.
So the team continued to move forward, but the more wrong it was found. It is obvious that the water volume increases, and the nearby rivers become turbulent accordingly. Moreover, this increase is a geometric multiple, which makes the engineering and technical team feel very abnormal.
Under the repeated assurance of the guide, the team moved on again.
In fact, this is also related to the lack of experience of the guide. The seasonal rainfall of the Amazon River often floods the Amazon River and its tributaries. In the rainy season, the river channel is 40 meters deep on average and 38 kilometers wide on average. The water rises from November to June of the next year, and then falls back to October. The fluctuation of its tributary Negro River is not at the same time as the main stream. The rainy season starts from February or March and starts to fall down with the main stream from June. The fluctuation of the Madeira River, another tributary, is two months ahead of the mainstream.
In the rainy season, the Amazon River has flooded hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. In some places, the flood depth is 12-15 meters higher than the lowest water level in the dry season and 6 meters higher near Iquitos; It's 15 meters near taffer; It is 11 meters near Obidos and 4 meters on the Pala river.
If you are an experienced guide, you don't dare to start with an engineer without any professional training. Especially in this season; You should know that the physical quality of engineers can't even catch up with ordinary people; Entry is equivalent to death. At this time, Brazil's economic situation is very bad. The guide doesn't care about this for money. It was this kind of thinking that finally hurt the members of the heiyun military vehicle experimental team.
Sure enough, 180 kilometers into the Amazon jungle, an accident happened. There is a heavy rain in the sky, and it is still getting worse and worse. I feel that there is no trend to stop at all.
Tony bloom quickly ordered a local rest. If an experienced guide would stop it. But this is a good one. Let's have a rest together.
At this time, the motorcade stops at a low-lying place, and this place itself is a necessary place for rivers in flood season.
Fortunately, Tony bloom slipped his mind and put two new military vehicles high; It was also the most correct decision of his trip.
In the evening, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Engineers living in Inner roads in the United States may have never seen such a heavy rain. The feeling is the same as the effect of opening the water pipe at home, which gives people a strong sense of fear.
At this time, there was water in the camp. Tony bloom didn't know what was going on in the Amazon and knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
Many times, it is not so easy to go. At this time, materials and equipment have been submerged. Fortunately, the accompanying security personnel played a role and ran towards the George Patton military vehicle with two test drivers.
The test driver drove two new cars to meet them, but an accident happened at this time; In the low-lying area, the personnel in a tent did not evacuate. When the others ran high, they were already flooded.
Two lives leave like this. It may be difficult for even the corpse hand to find that kind of life.
After settling down, Tony bloom asked the guide, ”have you never been here before? It's good for you to answer truthfully.”
Looking at the terrible eyes, the guide was a little flustered. There have been too many mistakes along the way, and it is impossible to hide them.
