Of course, the satellites' energy wasn't unlimited. After two minutes of continuous output, they temporarily shut down. After that, they could only start again every four minutes. Jiang Ling used this fool-proof method to find the pattern.
However, in order to protect Lao Xiao, she brought him to the other side of the wreckage before climbing up the huge cylinder with her bare hands.
There was a deep groove on the top surface of the cylinder, as if it had been plowed. Its ends were neatly cut, probably burned off by the laser before the explosion.
Standing in a relatively stable position, Jiang Ling turned on the telescope function of the external viewfinder and looked at the tail of the wreckage, where many smaller fragments were scattered. These fragments had been ignored by Old Wu before, but now it seemed that their distribution had a clear pattern - the larger the fragments, the closer they were to the center, while the smaller parts usually did not fly very far.
Jiang Ling uploaded what she saw. She expected that the black box might be among these fragments, but her limited knowledge was at a disadvantage, and the experts came to completely different conclusions.
"That's the tail of the missile... Yes, those fragments are the fuel tanks and the engine. Look at that conical fragment, it's the booster nozzle... The black box is at the front. What's under your feet is part of the payload bay. Go a little further. There are a lot of cubic-shaped boxes in the command module... No, that's not it either. They're the warhead's navigator... Hmm? Isn't that the one over there?"
Following their instructions, Jiang Ling wandered around the surface for over two hours before arriving at a frozen pond. She had no idea what was happening there. Perhaps the satellite had also noticed this unusual object, and the heat had melted the ice below, revealing some light-weight computer cases floating in the center of the depression.
As soon as she entered this area, the quality of her communication immediately dropped several levels. Perhaps the signal station was discovered by satellite weapons!
Without further ado, she slowly walked into the water and used her spiritual power to clear out the debris. Then, through the clear warm water, she saw a half-meter-long cylindrical object at the bottom.
It seemed to be radiating heat and slowly sinking, but that could be an illusion caused by the ripples on the water. The signal station was severely damaged, and the experts' voices were intermittent, so she could only make out the general idea.
But she didn't need to guess anymore; it had to be the black box! Jiang Ling had already used her psychic powers to "see" what was stored inside; they were all well-preserved data tablets.
Wow, golden legend!
After searching for it everywhere, I finally found it without any effort.
Jiang Ling's brows lit up with joy, and with a little more effort, she pulled it out.
The black box looked relatively intact, and the contents were undamaged, which put her off guard. Facing the searchlight beam, she saw two handles on the top of the cylinder, while the bottom surface appeared to have been burned, with the insulating ceramics burning red.
She couldn't withstand the air-to-ground attacks for too long in this state. Those mindless lasers seemed to be targeting her. Although it was round after round of attacks, this non-stop state was very annoying.
She didn't have time to observe it carefully, so she carried this heavy and precious thing and trotted back to Lao Xiao.
