MTL - America’s Road To Fame-Chapter 497 Determine the location
America, Silicon Valley.
After obtaining the satellite photos sent by various countries and mobilized to the location of the Amazon jungle, the search and rescue analysis team here moved quickly.
If you have seen satellite photos, you should know that if you only rely on human eyes to see, unless you are a very experienced professional, you want to find an item in it that does not know the shape at this time, even if it is an airplane. Huge targets are very difficult.
Objects that often appear huge on the ground are just a small dot in satellite photos, because satellite photos are from a top-down perspective, and it needs to be magnified to the extreme, and then transformed to a certain extent through technical means, in order to achieve the goal of making people feel degree of recognition by the naked eye.
What's more, the area of the Amazon jungle is really huge, covering an area of 7 million square kilometers - we know that the land area of China is more than 9.6 million square kilometers. How difficult is it to find an aircraft in an area of ?
It took hours just to copy the information of these photos provided by various countries!
Now they are racing at the same time, so everyone wants to waste even a second of time, because the rescue may arrive a minute earlier, and the result will be completely different, because in such a place full of danger, all kinds of beasts, And in the primitive rainforest environment of poisonous creatures, no one knows what will happen next minute.
Now, it has been more than 40 hours since William Chen's plane lost contact, including Tom Hanks, the Del Rey family, Ivanta, Paris, Nozomi Sasaki and others, and they have arrived in Atlanta. The island's Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, and the others all hoped to get the news that Chen William was found safely after waking up.
But the fact is that most of them, even up to now, haven't gotten much sleep time, it's not that they don't want to sleep, it's just that after lying down, although they feel extremely tired, they can't sleep.
Two-thirds of the 72-hour prime time for search and rescue after the plane lost contact is about to pass. No one knows what kind of results will be obtained in the coming end. Although they are full of expectations, they are inevitably apprehensive. .
At the same time, there are countless people all over the world who are following the news of William Chen. On top of all social media, topics related to William Chen have occupied the highest popularity for two consecutive days.
According to the statistics of relevant institutions, the number of people who participated in the discussion on this topic and the number of times even exceeded the "911" incident in the United States that year, which was the first large-scale terrorist attack in the history of the United States. Anyone can experience it - of course, this may also be related to the popularity of the Internet more than ten years later, but in any case, this reflects the global impact of the loss of contact with William Chen's plane.
Almost every second, someone will leave a message on Chen William's social account, hoping that he will return safely. Whether it is Twitter or Weibo, the number of people who follow William Chen's account has been growing.
Many people are looking forward to seeing him send the news of safety as soon as possible.
Just when the time was about to pass 55 hours, and the last 17 hours before the golden 72 hours passed, from IBM's supercomputer, after comparison, a useful clue finally appeared.
The photos of the Gulfstream G550 aircraft in various forms taken by satellite have suspected traces in a satellite photo of the Amazon rainforest provided by a certain country within 24 hours.
It was a place along the Amazon River, and there was an object that looked like a twisted and broken plane. After zooming in and comparing, the morphological characteristics were very consistent with the Gulfstream G550.
This discovery made the people in the analysis team very excited, but when they saw the shape of the plane, they couldn't help but be a little silent, because logically, if the plane caused such damage, it all broke, then it can be said that at that time The shock received is unimaginable, so the chances of the members surviving... are very slim.
But no matter what, a more definite result is still needed, so next, they started to compare the photos provided by other countries, and found that they were all in the same location, and found the trace of the plane.
So immediately, the result was sent to Atlanta.
After getting this news, the Atlanta side immediately took action. The location shown in the picture is in Peru on the Amazon River. The nearest city is Iquitos, which is less than 30 kilometers away from Iquitos.
Therefore, the Atlanta side quickly contacted the Peru side, and began to send the most elite rescue force to the Peruvian city in the Amazon jungle - Iquitos.
Originally Paris wanted to follow along to find William Chen, but the leaders, including Tom Hanks and Ivanta, were worried that she was pregnant now, in case she got bad news, If there is any accident under the stimulus, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, in the end, accompanied by Ivanta, Roger Del Rey was in charge of the entire rescue operation, while Erica stayed on Atlanta Island and was responsible for maintaining order here, and Tom Hanks was responsible for the liaison throughout the operation.
In the vicinity of South America before, the Atlan side has sent and hired many rescue forces one after another. Now that the most likely location is determined, they will transfer the most reliable and elite team to Iquitos in Peru.
The speed was also very fast, but within a few hours, in the local night, these teams took planes one after another and arrived in Iquitos.
The Amazon River, with a total length of more than 6,400 kilometers, is the largest river in the world in terms of flow and drainage area, and more than half of the river courses are distributed in Peru.
The Amazon River in Peru is complicated and bizarre, and deep in the jungle beside the river, there is an isolated city - Iquitos~www.novelbuddy.com~Iquitos is located in the northeast of Peru The tropical rainforest has a population of nearly 500,000.
It is not only the largest city of Peru in the Amazon region, but also the commercial center of the Amazon region.
Compared to other cities in Peru, Iquitos is surprisingly young: this Indian fishing village was not opened up until 1757 by the religious group Jesuits, who built its first pier – and the first on the Amazon River. A river wharf, Iquitos was first established as a city in 1863, and it was not a free port until 1980.
In the more than 100 years since Iquitos was established as a city, the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes - the transportation network has developed rapidly, and roads and railways have been paved to every town on the earth at an almost crazy speed, but Iquitos has Stubbornly maintains its own characteristics: surrounded by dense layers of pristine tropical jungle, road and railway are prohibitive, and it can only be reached by boat or plane.
For those who like to hike, this may be a pity, but the residents of Iquitos believe that it is this isolated geographical environment that allows the unique local customs to be perfectly preserved.
Today, this quiet and peaceful city is disturbed by planes, helicopters, and well-armed strangers who come along with hundreds of people. In the only airstrip here, one night At the same time, all kinds of helicopters have been parked.
The camp was set up nearby, and the planes successively transported various equipment—communication equipment, medical equipment, etc. to the temporary camp next to the airport. People are also anxiously waiting for the arrival of the day.
