Chapter 644 - Aegis sets sail
August 10, Maizuru Port. "DDG-174, the Kongo-class destroyer USS Spikeshima." Qian Yu, who was standing in the line, tilted his head and looked at the behemoth parked in the berth in front of him. "It's a big guy of 7,000 tons." (The prototype is the historical Kirishima Kongo-class destroyer completed in March 1995.)
"By the way, why is this thing called the Aegis?" In front of them, Sonoko Suzuki askedβshe was also selected as a visitor allowed to board the ship, or to be more precise, the Suzuki Foundation found a way to get the selected visitor to take her.
"Because he is carrying the American Aegis combat system," Mitsuhiko immediately replied. "It's a system with unusually powerful combat power!"
"So, why is it called Aegis?" Ayumi's question made Mitsuhiko dumbfounded.
"This ......"
"Aegis is in some legends the shield that belongs to Zeus, invulnerable," Conan replied with a shrug. "The Soviet Union's principle of anti-ship warfare was to carry out intensive missile attacks first, so the United States urgently needed a protection system with strong enough protection capabilities. In such a situation, the name is solid and at least a good sign. β
"Is the big sister in front of you the one who brought Sister Yuanzi here?" At this moment, Chiba set her eyes on the white-haired woman standing beside the garden.
"Are you talking about me?" The white-haired woman reacted quickly, and at this time she had already turned around and showed her face to everyone.
"It's a bit like Conan, is it my delusion?" Qianyu's brow twitched.
"Like me?" Conan looked carefully at the woman in front of him, and then was a little confused. "I ...... I don't think so? β
"Maybe it's a matter of attire, right?" Gray Plains has already discovered the reason for Qianyu's judgment. "Skirts, shirts, bows, if you change a short skirt to shorts, it will probably be similar to Edogawa taking off the suit? But other than that, there is no resemblance. β
At this moment, the sound of a horn suddenly came from ahead.
"Please take your invitation letter and line up to board the ship in an orderly manner!"
β¦β¦
About 30 minutes later (11:50 a.m.), the Destroyer Hoshima Restaurant.
"Welcome to the Maritime Self-Defense Force public exercise today," said the young self-defense officer, who stood in front of the restaurant, as he looked at the more than 30 sightseeing passengers seated in his seat. "I'm in charge of leading you around the ship's facilities today."
(Author: In the detectives of the Absolute Sea, there has always been a problem with the setting of the number of people.) Mori Ran got the No.39 ticket for the experience sailing, but according to the scene where Mori Kogoro is awakened in the restaurant, there are only 10 groups of families participating - although the gender and clothes of the person sitting on the right side of the two pictures have changed, I still think they are the same family. Later, when I was going to track the passengers, I found that there were still a few people in the restaurant when I visited the CIC, but there were almost no faces in the restaurant when I walked around the deck. Considering that there are so many people watching the additional helicopter project, and there are only so many people eating, I think it should be the painters who paddled the water themselves. So I decided to fix the number of people. οΌ
"First of all, please look carefully at the explanation card in front of everyone," Inoue asked, and everyone began to look at the explanation card on the table in front of them, which had a concise diagram of the Aegis ship's passage drawn on it, and also marked with color. "The red zone means that you can move freely, and the zone that is not painted red is so please don't trespass."
Judging from the content on the explanation card, the entire Aegis ship has a total of seven floors, including the first basement level to the topmost sixth floor, and only the deck level and part of the passage of the underground level are allowed to move freely, and the other areas are forbidden areas.
"Next, I'd like to explain the itinerary of the event: at 12 noon, I will enjoy a short introduction to the Maritime Self-Defense Force at the restaurant, which is about 15 minutes. After that, we will explain how to use the life jacket at 12:20 p.m., and then when we go to the deck, we ask everyone to wear the life jacket at all times. The deck during the voyage is still very dangerous, so please follow the instructions of the Self-Defense Forces and do not act on your own, and be sure to move on time according to the schedule. Then, at 12:40, today's key item - the naval exercise of anti-air combat. At 13:30, everyone will go onto the deck to see the ship's various weapons, radars and ship-based helicopters. After that, at 3 p.m., you will be treated to the famous naval curry rice of the Self-Defense Forces. After a hearty meal, we will arrange for everyone to go on a scavenger hunt in the ship's dining room and deck. In the meantime, we will return to Maizuru Port and arrive at the port at 5:30 p.m. β
"So the main event is actually free to visit," Qian Yu expressed his opinion, sitting next to Gray Plains. "Three hours, just look at the deck ......"
"Squeakββββ quackββββ" Suddenly, a tooth-aching sound suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
βοΌοΌβ Chiba's reaction was quick, and he immediately grabbed Gray Yuan's hand, while looking in the direction where the voice came from with a rather uneasy expression.
At first glance it sounds like the sound of metal parts rubbing hard, but now it sounds ...... The sound is a little less condensed...... It's a bit like the sound of air and milk being pumped up together in the final stages of drinking milk.
"What's going on?" Gray Yuan also looked a little nervous.
"It seems to be ......" When this abnormal sound ended, Qian Yu finally reacted. It seems to be the sound of water...... But I don't know exactly what it is. β
"Don't be too nervous," Inoue seemed to see everyone's unusual reaction. "It's the sound of the drain - I think something strange might be sucking in the filter, but it's all normal and there's no need to be too nervous."
"......" Gray Yuan pursed his lips, but suddenly noticed that Qian Yu was still gently pinching his wrist. After finding that Chiba was still looking in the direction where the voice came from, but she didn't mean to let go of her wrist at all, she simply lay on the table with her face sideways, while listening to Inoue in front of the stage explain the next matters, while quietly looking at Chiba's fingers that were interlocking with her.

At the same time, the roof of a building in Maizuru Port.
"It has been reported that the Spikeshima has departed and is taking a left-hand course as planned," a man said to his cell phone behind a telescope as he observed the Hoshima's whereabouts. "Judging from the navigation route, there is a high probability that it will act through Route A."
"Roger," the man on the other side of the phone nodded, then hung up and said to the man next to him. "The bait program is ready to start."

There are a few problems with the theatrical version of the original work, which I will explain and correct in advance
1. The schedule of the original book is to taste the Navy Curry Rice at half past four (about 38 minutes for the theatrical version), and then find Xiaolan at five o'clock (about 99 minutes for the theatrical version), and Conan screened it for an hour during the half-hour main line time...... In order to cope with this, and considering that the tonnage of the entire ship and the accessible area make it really not much to see, I cut the free time in half, leaving only one and a half hours.
2. It is impossible to find Xiaolan in the part of the original work, which is essentially blowing water to the sea. According to the accurate nautical charts used by the Aegis ship after discovering that Xiaolan fell into the water, after comparing it with the online map, it probably looks like this.
Sometime after 4:30, Aegis spotted Xiaolan falling into the water, and marked the location of Maolilan's fall on the map, about 18 kilometers west-north.
Then, based on the currents, they mapped out an area where Xiaolan might have drifted with the currents during this time β an unusually large area, a near-right-angled fan with a radius of about 15-20 kilometers.
Finally, Aegis reported at five o'clock where Xiaolan had been found: 36 degrees 4 minutes north latitude, 135 degrees east longitude, 4 kilometers northwest of the ship.
It's magical...... Because if you look it up with latitude and longitude, you'll find ...... This coordinate is very far away from them, about 45 nautical miles, 80 kilometers northwest of where Aegis first turned to find Xiaolan. (I posted the specific picture in the book friend group "Orange House Owner Complex", and if you are curious, you can turn to the record) In other words, it probably looks like this.
1. During the tracking, the currents carried the Maorilan for about 70 kilometres
2. If Aegis did not rely on ocean currents, but chased normally, then the combat speed of this ship was only about 55 kilometers per hour (30 knots) and the ship ran 80 kilometers, and this time plus the previous Conan and their one-hour plot, all of them added up to a total of 30 minutes on the timeline...... However, it is also possible that Jiang someone's hour was rewinding the timeline, so an hour and a half is just enough......
3. If Aegis also accelerates with the help of ocean currents, so that it can barely catch up before five o'clock, but it only runs 80 kilometers after drifting 70 kilometers in Maoliland, it means that the speed of the ocean current is 7 times that of the Aegis ship...... Since it was to find someone, it must be close to the maximum speed. In other words, the speed of the ocean current should be more than 200 knots, that is, the water in this pool is sweeping wildly near the sea at a speed of more than 360 kilometers per hour.
What is this concept...... Well, the largest recorded typhoon in history was Morandi in '17, and then this guy's extreme wind speed was 359 kilometers per hour.
In other words, the so-called ocean currents in Conan's theatrical version may be Conan's Grim Reaper aura. Doomsday typhoon speed, a Grim Reaper vortex with a radius of several hundred kilometers......
(Poor God, I was worried about how to make up 2,000 words before this chapter, and it's all 3,000...... I knew I was still worried about so much, what to do)
