The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

"OK, whether it's Clay, Jack or Jim (Aubrey), strictly speaking, I can't force you to stay here." Dana Moger said sternly.

"No need for this, she is one of us, so I stay voluntarily." Aubrey quickly took the initiative to express his position.

"In fact, I am also counting on someone to become a member of our wanted criminal team in the near future. Hannah should have mentioned it to you before, remember, Alice?

I just don't know if you can muster up the courage to go to Quantico to participate in field agent training when this is all over. "

Jack's half-truth and half-false words made the beautiful technician look up in surprise, and the next moment her eyes were filled with tears, but this time she was more moved.

She clenched her fists fiercely and gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, if I can survive, nothing in this world should scare me anymore."

"Then it's a deal." Seeing that his words were working, Jack pulled his female boss to the side and reported in a low voice the results of his previous examination.

"The design of the detonation device is extremely complex. The detonators inserted in the explosives are either real or fake and are difficult to remove in a short time. There are two detonation methods. In addition to the bluffing timer, a radio receiver is also connected to it.

However, there are two corresponding ways to release it. Enter the correct password on the keyboard under the timer, or release it through the remote control. Of course, the latter is just my guess, and you need to disassemble the remote control to confirm. "

Dana Moger keenly grasped the key point, "Does that mean there is a suspect lurking near the Federal Building, watching every move here?"

Jack nodded, "It will not exceed one kilometer at most. The power of this radio receiver modified from an ordinary civilian walkie-talkie is limited, and in order to observe the entry and exit of the federal building, the suspect will not be too far away."

"We have used radio jammers in the Emma Kane case before, so can we do it this time?" Dana Mouge's eyes lit up.

"Yes, but I suggest not to use it for the time being." Jack's words made the female boss stunned.

"Obviously, the purpose of both the timer and the keypad used to enter the password is to tell us that only releasing Vargas can prevent the bomb from exploding.

The remote control detonation is just a safety net. Once the radio signal is completely blocked, the other party can detect the abnormality by just looking at the mobile phone. At that time, it will be difficult to find them and use the remote control to cancel the countdown. "

Dana Moger lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again as if he had made some determination, "I leave this to you. Hannah and some of the field agents who have not entered the building are arriving one after another. Jubal and all the people in the combat center are arriving." People will cooperate with them to identify the suspects.”

The clicking sound of the female boss's high heels left the lobby on the first floor at an unprecedented frequency. Jack turned back to Alice, and Aubrey actually told her FBI jokes at this time.

"A teacher met his former student Brian on the street, who is now an FBI agent. He complained that his current students were so outrageous. During class, he asked them who wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Everyone answered 'I didn't write it'.

Brian confidently said, 'This is a small problem, just leave it to me.' A week later, the FBI excitedly went to the teacher and said, 'The matter is solved, that boy Henry hired him, he did it. ! ’”

Alice was actually moved to tears by this corny joke transplanted from the Soviet Union. It was obvious that the two of them were trying hard to make the other relax and prevent her from doing irrational behavior, such as trying to go directly Pull off the dense wires and detonators on C4 on the chest.

The other one was also trying to cooperate, trying to divert his attention, trying his best to ignore the explosives on his body and Clay's actions of checking the collar.

"How's the situation?" Jack asked directly in front of Alice. At this time, avoiding the person's questioning would only make her more frightened and make Aubrey's previous efforts in vain. Of course, it was also out of concern for Clay's technology. Confidence.

Clay subconsciously looked at Alice, then at Jack, and immediately understood what he was thinking, and told the truth directly.

"Each package of C4 contains four electro-sensitive detonators, some real and some fake. Among them, there are at least two fake detonators that are connected internally by thin copper wires to maintain a path. They will detonate immediately if they are tried to be removed.

I calculated the time and found that it would take at least 40 minutes to remove all these detonators. The other party was a master. "

Jack looked at the timer. They still had 25 minutes left, but who knows if the time on the timer is accurate. This is not a movie. There is no rule that the timer on a time bomb must be accurate. That thing is just a reference.

"What about removing the collar directly? I can easily remove the mechanical lock on it, but I suspect it's a trap." Jack had only done a preliminary inspection just now, and he wasn't too sure yet.

Clay lifted Alice's long hair, revealing the collar connection at the back of her neck, where there was a mechanical lock into which a key could be inserted.

"I checked, and there's nothing wrong with the lock, but there's a section of plastic conduit exposed at the latch. Did you see it? It was camouflaged with metallic paint."

Jack tried to remember the bomb disposal training he had received in Virginia Beach, and then it suddenly dawned on him, "Mercury switch?"

The so-called mercury switch uses the conductivity of mercury to install a ring of conduits in the collar. The conduits are filled with mercury to maintain the path of the entire circuit.

Once someone attempts to violently destroy the collar, causing mercury to leak and the circuit path state to be destroyed, it will explode.

Jack already understood Clay's idea. He found the contacts at both ends of the mercury switch and used a wire as a bridge to maintain the circuit. In this way, the entire explosive collar could be removed smoothly as long as the mechanical lock was opened. But before that, he had to let The mercury throughout the catheter becomes solid.

At this time, several FBI colleagues had already moved several boxes over. Inside were the spare equipment of the bomb disposal team upstairs. In addition to various tools, there were also two sets of spacesuit-like explosion-proof suits.

"We need dry ice or liquid nitrogen here. Uh, liquid nitrogen is safer. Find some plasticine and silicone sheets."

Jack ordered that the freezing point of mercury is minus 39 degrees Celsius. The silicone sheet is used to cushion Alice's neck and collar to prevent her from frostbite. As for the plasticine, of course it is used to fix the bridge lines.

He thought for a moment and added, "In addition, notify the NYPD to prepare a vehicle-mounted explosion-proof canister and park it a block away on standby."

"So, you have a way to dismantle this thing, right?" Alice, who had been sitting stiffly and upright, had worked in the FBI for several years. Although she could not fully understand these words, she could still understand the general meaning. of.

When she first heard that there was not enough time, her expression was on the verge of despair, but the conversation between the two later rekindled her hope, and her mood seemed to be on a roller coaster.

"Of course, it's a piece of cake." Jack looked confident as he and Clay helped each other put on the explosion-proof suits.

"Do it now?" Clay asked in a low voice while Alice was not paying attention.

Jack took advantage of the action of putting on his helmet and replied in a low voice, "Wait ten minutes, let's make preparations first. Hannah is leading people outside to search for the suspect. It is best to deactivate the detonation through the remote control device on the suspect's hand. The risk of forced removal is the greatest.”
