The fleet commander, Lassett, stood next to the sonar listener and shouted with some surprise: "It's ...... Did it sink?"

He also wears monitoring headphones.

But a few minutes ago, all that came from the headphones was the sound waves of a violent explosion, which washed over Lassite's eardrums and brain like waves.

Now Lasitt felt dizzy like a string of firecrackers had been set off in his head, and his eardrums were pounding so suddenly that he had to shout his voice to feel his volume.

Instead of answering the question, the sonar listener made a boo gesture.

He was listening to the sound of the water.

A series of violent explosions from a few minutes ago may have been a random series of stumble sound waves in someone else's ear.

But in his ears, these sound waves can slowly become a three-dimensional "picture".

First, various types of missiles whizzed over the sonar buoy, and the sound of air oscillations close to the speed of sound was transmitted into the seawater, and then the impact of the missiles entered a terminal acceleration state.

Using a sonar analysis system, he was able to identify anomalous crashing sounds from the target ship before the missile exploded.

He did not understand what caused the collision of the target ship, but he could analyze that the target ship withstood the attack of three to five missiles.

It stands to reason that even if a 10,000-ton warship is directly hit on the belly by two anti-ship missiles, it will be completely scrapped even if it does not sink. If one more cruise missile is added to the top, it will inevitably be sent into the sea completely.

When the sound wave of the missile explosion slowly ended, the sonar listener did not hear the distinctive engine roar of the target ship.

But......

He also did not hear the sinking of the target ship.

The sinking of a giant ship of more than 10,000 tons will inevitably send out a very obvious sinking sound wave on the sea surface.

For example, when sinking, the metal of the ship is affected by its own gravity, which makes a regular twisting sound, and the dense bubble buoyancy generated during sinking.

After two minutes of waiting, the sonar listener still did not hear the sound.

At this time, the huge swelling sound caused by the explosion of the missile and the sound waves reflected back and forth on the bottom of the sea have completely disappeared.

Quieting the surface of the sea again allows the sonar listener to catch the target vessel more clearly.

"Sir, I haven't heard the sound of the target sinking at this time. ”

The sonarman's preoccupied expression finally relaxed, "So I speculate that the target ship should be in a scrapped state, our missiles destroyed its main power system, and now it has become a piece of scrap metal floating on the surface of the sea." ”

The commander of the fleet, Lasit, rubbed his ears and asked him to repeat it out loud.

After hearing the sonar officer's report clearly, Lacie held back the buzzing in his ears and picked up the monitor headphones again.

After a moment, Lasitt put down his headphones and said loudly to everyone in the command room, "Very well, the goal of our operation this time is to capture that mysterious 'whale'. ”

"Although there were many accidents during the mission, there were also unacceptable losses of personnel. ”

"But we finally accomplished our goal. ”

"We paralyzed the target ship in that area, it didn't sink, the technology on it was still there. ”

"Now we are moving at full speed towards the target location, and all the non-core personnel are wearing life jackets and taking lifeboats to salvage all the parts of the target ship that can be salvaged in that sea area. ”

"It's ~ sir!"

……

At a distance of seventy nautical miles, the destroyer and frigate were moving at full speed, which took two hours and eleven minutes.

At the same time, Lassite also sent all the data from the operation back to the Fifth Fleet headquarters. Two integrated supply ships, a salvage and rescue ship, are urgently heading here.

It's a speed race, and the action can't be exposed in any way. They want to sweep away all traces before the outside world can react.

However, just as the destroyer and another frigate were advancing at full speed for twenty nautical miles, just over forty minutes had passed.

The sonar listener, who had been listening to the voiceprint in the target area, suddenly stood up.

The next moment, the sonar system began to give an alarm, indicating that there was an abnormal sound source signal in the target sea area.

"Long ...... Sir. At this moment, the sonar listener's face was full of living hell expressions, and he said incoherently: "The target is alive, it is alive." ”

The Humpback Whale is back in motion.

When it was hit violently by the shock wave, the heavily protected nuclear reactor in the middle of the cabin also went into emergency protection mode.

The primary circuit of cooling water circulates in the pipeline, and the forced cooling procedure is quickly initiated.

The ultra-supercritical unit stopped in an emergency and entered the pressure relief protection mode, and the power of the whole ship was completely lost.

These operations cannot be forcibly terminated by the cockpit control system, as there is no room for sloppiness when it comes to the safety of nuclear reactors.

Even the monsters could not guarantee that the reactor's performance would remain unaffected even if the Humpback Whale's impact strength exceeded the preset safety threshold.

In particular, the primary cooling water is responsible for heating.

The primary circuit cooling water is in direct contact with the reactor core, which is highly radioactive and highly corrosive.

Therefore, in order to firmly control the radioactive elements within a safe range, the cooling water of the primary circuit does not make any contact with the working fluid water used to power the generator set in the secondary circuit.

They only circulate in sealed ultra-high pressure pipes, and if the working fluid water in the second circuit is heated, the heat exchanger valve will be opened, allowing the water in the primary circuit to enter multiple fine hollow alloy pipes to circulate and transfer heat through the alloy pipes.

Then, in the event of a violent impact or vibration, the reactor will quickly cut off the heat exchanger valve and force the primary circuit water to cool down to ensure that the internal temperature of the reactor does not exceed the safety threshold.

In order to restart the reactor, the maintenance personnel must enter the reactor chamber to check that there are no leaks and that all piping is structurally normal, and finally the protection mode can be manually lifted.

It took the metal experts half an hour to reactivate the reactor, and after tens of minutes, the secondary circuit working fluid water was reheated to a supercritical state and drove the generator set to work again.

When the two electromagnetic engines with a total power of 200,000 kWh were activated, the anomalous voiceprint signal was immediately picked up by nearby sonar buoys.

This change caught them off guard, and for a while Fleet Commander Lasette did not know whether to continue moving forward or let the three warships on the other side of Madagascar Island turn back to see if there was a chance to re-launch missiles at the target ships on the west side of Madagascar.

Commander Lasitt believes that since the target ship can be restarted, it must turn around and flee as soon as possible.

With the speed of the other side, even the carrier-based helicopter will not be able to catch up, so it is doomed to be in vain at this time.

Then the sonar found that it took a few minutes for the target ship to increase its speed to one hundred and thirty knots.

They didn't turn around and flee.

They rushed in the direction of the fleet.

Are they crazy?

"Damn. ”

Looking at the sound source target moving at high speed on the sonar screen, Commander Lasitt yelled at the crowd: "Inform the cab to turn one hundred and eighty degrees immediately and evacuate at full speed." ”

"There is another frigate, signaling for them to evacuate at full speed at ninety degrees. ”

"Damn, enforce radio silence and can't let him find us. ”
