Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 540 - 58: It succeeded! _4
Before long, the box emitted a "beep beep beep" alert sound again.
Professor Zheng stood up once more:
"Right there! Just below that spot!"
This time, knowing the exact location, they quickly assembled the simple float board by the shore.
Then, slowly walked onto the float board and, at the nearest location, precisely yet swiftly inserted a long bamboo pole!
When the tip of the bamboo pole pierced into the soft silt, accompanied by a small-scale stir, the next moment, a "boom" was heard!
It hit!
The bamboo pole, somehow touching a certain point, along with the sound of the explosion, sent a splash of mud and shattered water plants leaping into the air over the river.
Then it came crashing down.
The person closest could hardly keep their eyes open, their hands feeling slightly numb.
Yet, with mud and water serving as a cushion, amazingly, no one at the scene was injured!
At this moment, not only Zhou Yong An but even the soldier holding the box couldn’t help but laugh!
He turned his head and shouted, "It works! It really works!"
Gesturing again: "Insert straight along the vertical line illuminated by the red light, and I just gently stir the bamboo pole twice around it!"
How precise this location must be!
It could even accurately sense this thing through such thick silt; on land, the accuracy must be even higher!
If only they had had this years ago...
For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned red.
But what followed was an ever-increasing surge of fighting spirit!
Everyone’s spirits lifted, and without further orders from Zhou Yong An, they immediately proceeded to the next location.
The long bamboo pole was passed along, moving from one place to another direction.
...
The river surface was sometimes calm, sometimes emitting a beeping sound.
And when the sun was directly overhead, everyone at the scene was covered in layers of salty sweat-drenched uniforms that dried and got wet repeatedly.
The exposed skin had long turned black and red, but everyone was in high spirits.
"Third time around!"
They reported again and again.
"The area has expanded by another 10 meters towards the surrounding, still no response."
"Good, good, good!"
Zhou Yong An’s eyes were filled with tears.
They—completed the mission!
No one was sacrificed; this meant the mission was accomplished!
Coming back to senses, he quickly asked Professor Zheng and others, who had been moved to the shaded area by the young warriors to rest:
"Professors, the accuracy of this thing..."
This question hit the nail on the head!
At this moment, the three professors perked up, exchanged glances, with unconcealed pride in their expressions.
If, in the past, their approach, even when successful, had an accuracy rate of no more than 75% at best,
Now, the accuracy of the finished product in hand is nearly 100%!
Zhou Yong An was all the more delighted!
Professor Zheng thought for a moment and simply suggested: "The more this thing is used, the better it works. Use it more, which will also help us in later data collection."
"So there’s no need to rush to return,"
This part of the river is a tributary of the main river, with slow-moving water, and even the deepest spots are not too exaggerated.
The few pondered again, understanding Zhou Yong An’s intention, then said:
"Since this minefield was submerged by the flood back then, it’s likely that other mines have also scattered in different directions."
"Your task handover time is 8:00 PM, so why not row a small boat and make a few more rounds on the river?"
"Even if nothing happens, doing this ensures the safety of the people in the surrounding area, don’t you think?"
Zhou Yong An nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Turning around, the soldiers quickly dragged a small boat from the side, with several long bamboo poles tied on top.
Watching them surround the detection device for careful inspection, Zhou Yong An couldn’t help but smile.
At this moment, the middle-aged man’s sunburned face felt hot and painful, causing him to cover it like a shy young girl.
