Girls und War

The parachutes had already been carried on their backs and everything was ready.

Following the referee's command, the shadows of all the snipers fell down as one person.

It is more than 8,000 meters from here to the ground. With such a long distance, the organizers will naturally not let them pass it without any challenges.

If that's the case, what's the point of watching the game?

As soon as they left the plane, everyone felt a gust of irregular airflow coming from all directions.

Those with good skills can naturally adjust their body shape in this airflow. For example, Xia Shu quickly got rid of the interference of the airflow.

But the Rabbit God, who should have been able to adjust well, suddenly shook for some reason and was pulled backwards by the airflow.

548. Full marks for landing! And salute to the judges!

"Yeah? This... oh my Gan Lin... how do I explain this! I just started praising her a few words, and then NM got blown around by the airflow." Xu Dongdong said without thinking, as if he had forgotten that he was broadcasting live.

And the Rabbit God's backwardness seemed to give Xia Shu a great opportunity.

Yifeng saw this, his eyes sparkled with gold, and he murmured, "Come on, come on, come on! Xia Shu, faiting!"

Xia Shu naturally couldn't hear the cheers from the outside, but she was paying close attention to the direction of the flight.

Falling from the air is naturally not that difficult, the difficult part is falling with a destination.

The target location for this parachute drop is on a plain. There is a target in the center of the plain, and the center of the target is the center of the destination.

Generally speaking, the closer you are to the target, the higher the score you can get.

As for the time of falling in the air, the faster the better.

The best way to score is to reach a position 500 meters above the ground as quickly as possible, then open the parachute and quickly land in the center of the target.

A distance of eight thousand meters may seem high, but the time it takes to fall in free fall is very short, perhaps less than a minute.

Xia Shu adjusted his flying posture while looking at the watch on the back of his hand.

The watch shows the current altitude and the time elapsed since the parachute jump.

Watching the thousands digit on the altitude gradually drop from eight to one, Xia Shu immediately tensed up his nerves.

She could now see the ground clearly. The rapid descent made the ground fly towards her at an alarming speed. The impact brought by this speed was extremely terrifying.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to help but pull the parachute rope in advance under such a speed impact.

But Xia Shu's attention was not on the ground in front of her at this moment. She was now concentrating on the watch dial.

To achieve good results, you must make the free fall as long as possible, but it must not exceed the height limit of 500 meters.

The best stretching altitude is to get stuck at 500 meters and open the parachute accurately.

But when the hundreds digit on the dial reached five, Xia Shu pulled the parachute cord without hesitation.

The pilot parachute pops out from the parachute bag and is instantly tightened under the huge air resistance, and the main parachute is pulled out at once with almost no delay.

A huge impact came from both shoulders, and the pulling of blood made Xia Shu feel dizzy for a moment, but she recovered quickly.

Looking at the dial again, the parachute opening altitude has been fixed at 537 meters.

Xia Shu didn't make any special bets. If he pushed it a little further, he could reduce the height to within 510 meters.

But she knew she was slightly ahead and there was no need to gamble on those few tenths of a second.

Soon, she put aside all distractions, pulled the parachute rope ring with both hands, and glided towards the target location.

There is no doubt that Xia Shu has the best control over her aerial posture, and she is far ahead of other players.

When the contestants behind him opened their parachutes and frantically controlled the direction, Xia Shu was only one step away from the finish line.

"How could this happen..." Xu Dongdong looked at the Rabbit God who was far behind and wailed with his head in his hands.

"NICE! Hahaha! Xia Shu is indeed my lucky star!" Yifeng immediately became excited, as if Brother Feng was back again!

The distance of five hundred meters passed in a flash. Xia Shu adjusted the parachute and quickly aimed himself accurately at the bull's eye on the plain.

Her movements were smooth and effortless, and it was obvious that she was a veteran who was very familiar with parachutes.

The other snipers were obviously unable to cope with the situation.

After all, being able to parachute is one thing, but mastering the use of a paraglider is another.

At this extreme parachute opening distance, the space left for them to maneuver is very narrow.

Basically, once you open the parachute, you should prepare to land.

Many people fail to aim at the bull's eye at this stage. If they are unlucky, it is common to be two or three hundred meters away from the target location.

But Xia Shu's parachute opening direction was very accurate. With a slight adjustment of the parachute wing, she was able to descend at full speed.

When he was dozens of meters away from the ground, Xia Shu was ready to land.

She straightened her body and jumped, stretching her feet forward steadily.

The bull's eye drawn on the grass was right in front of him, and he landed a few meters ahead of where he was.

The moment she stepped on the ground, a huge impact force came from the soles of her feet, and the inertia of the parachute rope caused her to slide forward slightly. When she finally stopped, Xia Shu just stepped on the center of the bull's eye.

Perfect timing, full marks!

Even the most picky old paratrooper sergeant could not find any fault with her.

Soon, Xia Shu untied the parachute rope and walked aside.

"Oh my—how can she dance so well? How can I explain this—" Xu Dongdong's face was full of disbelief. "This, this, this...is she a paratrooper or a sniper?"

"Hehehe, Xu Dongdong? How about it? Much stronger than the Rabbit God?" Yifeng had a smug look on his face.

"No! Stop talking!" Xu Dongdong's face was filled with righteous words, "I will not stop supporting the Porcelain Rabbit God!"

"Okay, that's good! We'll see!"

At this time, the other snipers also landed.

Their parachuting skills were obviously not as good as Xia Shu's, and most of them were only about a hundred meters away from the target.

Of course, there are also those who are luckier and step on the bull's eye accurately.

But those who stepped accurately were not as fast as Xia Shu.

The fast one—still not as fast as Xia Shu.

Xia Shu won completely.

As for the poor Rabbit God, because of an inexplicable mistake at the beginning, he was left far behind in the rankings as soon as he landed.

Her landing position was relatively accurate, but her ranking in this round was around 30th place.

This time, Xia Shu took back the first place.

However, the contestants on the scene were not so concerned about the results.

Because immediately, the referee gathered everyone together, asked them to get on the military vehicle and drive to the next destination.

Their time is very tight and they need to seize the opportunity to rest.

The next competition is deep diving, which is a very physically demanding competition.

If you want to get good grades, you must give it your all.

The main stage played the highlights of the skydive to the audience, and the audience was noisy.

Viewers watching the live broadcast also posted comments on the page.

The discussion was very heated and the ratings continued to rise.

Soon, the contestants arrived at the third competition location, a reservoir in front of the dam.

The height of the dam here is about two hundred meters, and it seems that the depth of the reservoir is at least more than one hundred meters.

Diving at this depth is undoubtedly a huge challenge for snipers.

549. Diving is risky, so be cautious when entering the industry

There are many types of diving.

Generally, we call the diving method that uses a deep-diving system such as a pressurized chamber to pre-pressurize and then allows divers to work deep underwater for a long time as saturation diving; all other diving methods that do not use pressurized equipment and only allow the body's functions to withstand water pressure are called non-saturation diving.

The reason for this classification is that when divers perform underwater operations, they will feel deep water pressure that is several times greater than atmospheric pressure.

This pressure can make it difficult for divers to breathe and to draw oxygen from their scuba tanks in time.

However, lack of oxygen is not the biggest problem faced in diving.

Generally speaking, deep divers face two challenges underwater: the first is the ear's ability to withstand water pressure; the second is the dual pressure on the muscles and psychology.

But the most important problem that cannot be overcome by willpower alone is that the air breathed in deep water is not the ordinary air we breathe in our daily lives.

If you breathe ordinary air in deep water, the nitrogen in it will cause nitrogen intoxication in the high-pressure environment.

That is, abnormal nerve function caused by high-pressure nitrogen.

To prevent this from happening, during deep diving operations, the air that divers breathe is replaced with a mixture of inert gas and oxygen.

After being inhaled into the human body, these inert gases will enter the human blood circulation. If a strict decompression process is not performed when ascending, the inert gases will form bubbles in the diver's body, causing serious decompression sickness.

However, if a diver spends a long time underwater in a high-pressure environment, the consequences are less severe. After a person spends enough time under high pressure, their blood and tissues become saturated with gases. From this point on, as long as the pressure remains constant, the gas content in the blood and tissues remains unchanged, even if the duration of the stay increases.

So we call this diving method, which allows divers to stay at a certain depth and work underwater for a long time, saturation diving.

Simply put, if you dive to a certain depth, you'll experience nitrogen intoxication. To avoid nitrogen intoxication, you must use air mixed with inert gases. Once you're underwater with inert gas, you can't easily ascend.

So, to sum up, diving with ordinary air has a depth limit.

This depth is generally around 50 to 60 meters underwater, and trained professionals may extend this depth to 100 meters underwater.

But this is probably the limit of human beings. Going further, we need some black technology to assist.

Humans of this era certainly have the technology to extend the maximum distance of deep diving to about a few hundred meters.

But the imaginary battlefield does not have this level of technology.

In the non-nuclear era, air mixing technology and deep-diving technology have extended the human diving distance to more than 100 meters, which is already the limit.

This requires the diver to have extremely strong willpower and be able to react quickly underwater.

For enthusiasts like me who want to become proficient in this extreme sport, it is almost impossible without three to five years of training.

The competition conditions for Xia Shu and the others were certainly not as demanding as those required of professional divers.

They only need to dive to the bottom of the reservoir, about 160 meters deep, touch as many scoring spots as possible, and then slowly float up.

Although this process seems very simple, the dangers and complexities it contains are far from as easy as it seems.

In the compression chamber, Xia Shu and a group of snipers have already put on a full set of diving equipment.

A sniper rifle as required was mounted next to the not-so-light scuba diving suit.

But they are not paying attention to the heavy equipment now.

Because at this time, the atmospheric pressure in the compression chamber is rising little by little. They are trying hard to adapt to this high-pressure environment so that they will not be bothered by high-pressure tinnitus during the deep water dive later.

The audience in front of the screen soon saw the line of small words again, "Dangerous action, do not imitate without professional guidance!"

Before the audience could figure out where the danger of this sport lay, a square passage appeared on the floor of the compression room.

Below the entrance is a bottomless waterway, which seems to be the starting point of deep diving.

After the referee gave a signal, the girls stepped on their big flippers, walked to the edge of the waterway, and bit the breathing valve.

After they put on the illuminated periscope, the referee raised his hand to signal preparation, and then waved the small red flag in his hand.

Xia Shu pressed the breathing valve, jumped forward lightly, and entered the water in an upright position.

After entering the water, she quickly adjusted her posture, turning herself upside down. Then, she paddled forward with her arms, swam her fins continuously, and swam towards the bottomless depths of the reservoir.

The place where they came down was at the edge of the reservoir dam, where they could see the white underwater wall of the dam.

There were several glowing markings on the wall. Xia Shu swam over very quickly and touched the markings lightly.

After confirming the feedback, she turned around and swam towards the next marked point.
