America's Road to Fame

Chapter 496 Target: Amazon

This time, the search and rescue of William Chen's missing plane can be said to be the largest search and rescue operation since this century.

The first to start was the search and rescue work in the seas of Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil. After obtaining the consent of the other party, the frigate Poseidon near the island of Atlanta also immediately set off to conduct inspections in suspected sea areas.

It's just that 24 hours after the plane lost contact, there is still no progress.

For the search and rescue of the missing plane, the first thing is to determine the location of the crash, often through the wreckage of the plane floating on the sea, related items and possible oil belts to determine the specific location.

In fact, during these searches, although suspicious traces were also found, after the final analysis, the possibility of coming from the missing plane was ruled out.

At this time, on the island of Atlanta, a special analysis team has been formed, and many relevant experts have been invited to participate.

At the same time, in the United States, there is also a similar analysis team to make judgments based on the existing information.

Although after a lapse of one day, there was still no progress, and even more definite news was not obtained, but everyone still did not give up.

Among the analysis team, the experts all have the same opinion, that is, if contact is lost, the most likely reason is that the plane has been destroyed, or it was forced to land in an uninhabited place that cannot be contacted.

The most important thing now is to search and rescue against the clock on the premise of survival.

If we analyze this, then the greatest possibility of Chen William's survival lies in the three suspected locations: Peru and Ecuador waters; Brazil waters; and the Amazon jungle. Only the Amazon jungle can have the possibility of surviving.

Because if the plane makes an emergency landing in the sea, the possibility of crash and death is extremely high, because there is only one situation when it lands in the sea, that is, the plane has lost control. After 24 hours, the possibility of still alive is almost gone.

The basis is that during the computer simulation, it has been determined that under such circumstances, it is impossible for people to leave the cabin, so even if the plane is still alive when it crashes, the cabin door cannot be opened under the water pressure of the seabed. , As a result, for 24 hours, he could only suffocate and die.

Therefore, if Chen William is still alive, the most hopeful thing now is that the plane made an emergency landing in the Amazon jungle, because so far, no one in any South American country has found any news of an emergency landing nearby, so the location of the emergency landing, There is only the deserted Amazon jungle.

Only the forced landing there can explain the reason why there are still no witnesses of the plane's forced landing or the other party's distress signal.

As for whether it is possible to fall into the sea?Of course there are, and they are huge.But in this golden time of search and rescue, everything is carried out to ensure the possibility of Chen William's survival, and other possibilities can be postponed for processing.

Therefore, after obtaining the unanimous opinion of experts and 550 hours after the Gulfstream G24 on which William Chen was traveling lost contact, Atlanta made a difficult decision to focus the search and rescue efforts on the Amazon jungle.

As for the sea area where the previous search and rescue was carried out, it will still be carried out, but all resources will be tilted towards the search and rescue in the Amazon jungle.

But the problem is that the Amazon jungle is really too big, covering a total of 700 million square kilometers, which is larger than the whole of Europe, and most of the area is called the restricted area of ​​life, which is completely primitive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to Enter, so the difficulty of search and rescue can be imagined.

Therefore, in such a large area, if it is searched entirely by manpower, one is that it is impossible to enter many internal uninhabited areas, and only rely on helicopters to search, then the scope of this search is very small. It is very difficult to conduct a blanket search here.

In addition, although most of the Amazon jungle is in Brazil, the entire jungle area spans 9 countries. The organization of the search operation is also an extremely troublesome matter.

So the technicians came up with another method, which is to use aerial photography and satellite photos to zoom in and compare. Even though most of the Amazon jungle is covered by vegetation, with the size of the Gulfstream G550, if you make a forced landing here, you can still go from the ground to the ground. Found in the air.

It's just that even if it is to zoom in and compare, the workload is still a huge project. Fortunately, the artificial intelligence laboratory of the Siri company itself has related research, which can use AI to recognize pictures and find suspected locations. In this way, as long as you have With enough computing power, the result can be produced soon.

In the end, the decision was made to conduct both manual search and photo comparison.

The first is that Atlanta began to contact global search and rescue agencies and related countries, set up a search and rescue base around the Amazon jungle in the fastest time, and began to mobilize helicopters to conduct a carpet search in the entire Amazon jungle area.

And considering the importance of Chen William, the special operations team of the Southern Cross Security Company will also rush to the nearby area. When they find out about Chen William, they will go to search for rescue as soon as possible—this is the Southern Cross Security Company. The company's most elite and best-equipped troops, in order to ensure the safety of William Chen, they must be personally involved.

In addition, Atlanta is seeking help from big countries including the United States and China, hoping to obtain accurate satellite photos of the Amazon jungle area. Many people may have used software such as Google Earth to zoom in on satellite photos to the maximum. , People on the ground are clearly visible, so high-precision satellite photos are extremely helpful for searching for traces of forced landing planes in the Amazon jungle.

For Atlanta's request for help, many countries, including the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany, have responded positively. The United States directly deployed five satellites, and China deployed four satellites to monitor the Amazon jungle area. To take pictures, other countries have also mobilized their own satellites and aimed at that area.

It is somewhat surprising that if these countries have more or less invested in William Chen, so they pay more attention to him-after all, it is the economic recovery period after the subprime mortgage crisis, William Chen’s investment, None of these countries are irrelevant, and they don't want any changes - then Russia's reaction is somewhat surprising.

Russia also responded positively to Atlanta's request for help, and mobilized their satellite system, and also carried out surveillance and photography of the Amazon region.

The search and rescue team in the United States, with the help of Bill Gates, was supported by IBM's supercomputing power. After receiving satellite photo data from various countries, they were able to use IBM's world-leading supercomputer to run AI picture comparison program, in order to get the comparison results as soon as possible.

So local computer experts arrived directly at IBM, waiting for the arrival of data from various countries while debugging the program.
