America's Road to Fame

America, Silicon Valley.

After receiving the satellite photos of the location in the Amazon jungle sent by various countries, the search and rescue analysis team here acted quickly.

If you have seen satellite photos, you should know that if you only look at them with human eyes, unless you are a very experienced professional, you want to find an item that does not know the shape at this time, even if it is an airplane. Huge targets are very difficult.

Objects that often look huge on the ground are just a small point in satellite photos, because satellite photos are from a top-down perspective, and it needs to be enlarged to the extreme and then transformed through technical means to achieve the goal of making people The extent that can be recognized by the naked eye.

What's more, the area of ​​the Amazon jungle is really too big, covering a full area of ​​700 million square kilometers - as we know, the land area of ​​Huaguo is more than 960 million square kilometers. In comparison, we can understand that in such a vast area How difficult it is to find a plane in an area of ​​the world.

It took several hours just to copy the information of these photos provided by various countries!
Now it is a race against the same time, so everyone hopes to waste even a second, because the rescue may arrive 1 minute earlier, and the result will be completely different, because in such a place full of dangers, all kinds of beasts, And in the primitive rainforest environment of poisonous creatures, no one knows what will happen in the next minute.

Now, more than 40 hours have passed since William Chen's plane lost contact, including Tom Hanks, the Del Rey family, Ivanta, Paris, Nozomi Sasaki and others, and those who have already arrived in Atlanta Yang Mi and Fan Bingbing from the island all hoped to get the news that William Chen had been 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 fall asleep anyway.

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 upcoming end. Although we are full of expectations, we are inevitably uneasy .

At the same time, there are countless people all over the world who are following William Chen's news.On all social media, topics related to Chen William have occupied the highest popularity for two consecutive days.

According to the statistics of relevant organizations, the number of people and the number of times they participated in discussions on this topic even surpassed that of the "911" incident in the United States, which was the first large-scale terrorist attack in the history of the United States. Everyone can experience it—of course, this may also be related to the popularity of the Internet after more than ten years, but no matter what, it reflects the global impact of the loss of contact with William Chen's plane.

Almost every second, someone would leave a message on William Chen’s social account, wishing him a safe return. Whether it’s Twitter or Weibo, the number of people following William Chen’s account has been growing.

Many people are looking forward to seeing him send out the message of safety in the first time.

Just when the time was about to pass 55 hours, and the last 72 hours before the golden 17 hours passed, from IBM's supercomputer, a useful clue finally appeared after comparison.

In the photos of various forms of Gulfstream G550 aircraft taken by satellites, there are suspicious 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 plane. After zooming in and comparing, the shape characteristics were very consistent with the Gulfstream G550.

This discovery made the people in the analysis team very excited, but seeing the shape of the plane, they couldn't help being a little silent, because logically, if the plane caused such damage and broke, then it can be said that at that time The impact was unimaginable, so the chances of the members surviving... are very slim.

But no matter what, more definite results are still needed now, so next, they began to compare the photos provided by other countries, and found that they all found the trace of the plane in the same location.

Immediately, the result was sent to Atlanta.

After getting this news, Atlanta 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 Peruvian side, and began to send the most elite rescue force to the Peruvian city in the Amazon jungle-Iquitos.

Originally, Paris also wanted to follow along to find William Chen, but the leaders, including Tom Hanks and Ivanta, were worried that she was pregnant now, and if they got bad news at that time, If there is any accident under the stimulus, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, in the end, Ivanta was accompanied by Roger Del Rey in charge of the entire rescue operation, while Erica stayed in Atlanta to maintain order here, and Tom Hanks was in charge of liaison throughout the operation.

In the vicinity of South America, Atlanta has successively dispatched and hired many rescue forces. Now that the most likely location is determined, they will transfer the most reliable and elite team to Iquitos, Peru.

The speed is also very fast, but within a few hours, in the local evening, these teams took planes one after another and arrived in Iquitos.

With a total length of more than 6400 kilometers, the Amazon River is the river with the largest flow and basin area in the world, and more than half of the river is distributed in Peru.

The Amazon River in Peru is complicated and difficult to navigate, and in the depths of the jungle beside the river, there is an isolated city-Iquitos.

Iquitos is located in the tropical rainforest of northeastern Peru and has a population of nearly half a million people.

It is not only the largest city in the Amazon region of Peru, but also the commercial center of the Amazon region.

Compared with other cities in Peru, Iquitos is surprisingly young: this Indian fishing village was not opened up until 1757 by the Jesuits, a religious group, and the first pier was established-this is also the first on the Amazon River. An inland river terminal, Iquitos was first established as a city in 1863, and it did not become a free port until 1980.

In the more than 100 years since Iquitos was founded, the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes-the transportation network has developed rapidly, and roads and railways have spread to every town on the earth at an almost crazy speed, but Iquitos has Stubbornly maintaining its own characteristics: Surrounded by dense virgin tropical jungles, roads and railways are prohibitive, and it can only be reached by boat or plane.

For those who like hiking, 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.

But today, this quiet and peaceful city is disturbed by planes, helicopters, and armed strangers who come with hundreds of people. In the only airstrip here, one night By that time, all kinds of helicopters had 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 day to come.
