【Chapter 246】 The ignorant are fearless
With a high forehead and deep eye sockets, and his hair standing on end, General Alex's yellow-brown pupils stared at the golden dragon for a moment, he had been in the army for forty years, experienced the Gulf War and the Iraq War, had a tough style, and was determined, and his heart was also full of consternation at this moment.
The battlefield filled with gunsmoke and flesh and blood never shook his hard heart. But this time, he felt like he was in trouble, big trouble.
It was a creature that had never been seen before, a creature beyond his knowledge.
Whether it is the golden sea snake in the mouth of the sailors or the Huaxia dragon in the mouth of the staff, this snake-like creature can actually emit self-light, and it emits a strong dazzling golden light.
It is not uncommon for creatures to emit light in the sea, and there are even more in the deep sea, but it is simply incredible that a giant luminescent creature like this one, which is nearly thirty meters long and more than one meter in diameter.
"It's unbelievable!"
"Your Excellency, give orders. We have the most advanced destroyers in the world, the most ferocious firepower. This sea beast has great research value. Kill it. ”
Most of the officials who were able to garrison the Yokosuka Naval Base knew China very well. However, their understanding is limited to the current situation and humanity of China, and they do not know much about the ancient dragon culture of China.
In their opinion, no matter how strange the golden dragon is, it is just a fierce sea beast. With the combat firepower equipped on Austin, it is enough to kill him.
Moreover, this glowing giant sea beast can cause changes in the magnetic field, which obviously has very important scientific research value.
The United States is a multi-ethnic country, and the beliefs are also very mixed. But there is no doubt that the scientific atmosphere is among the best in the world. Even if the real sea monster comes to them, they will also catch it and study it, instead of worshipping it as a true god.
Because they worship science and power in their bones.
It's a pity that there is a Chinese proverb that says it well: the ignorant are fearless.
……
And Lu Zheng, who was clamping down on the sea with four dragon claws, had no time to take care of the warships in the distance. His dragon roar was made with a dragon roar of the Psychic Technique, designed to awaken Whale Dong's lost mind.
Lu Zheng has always carefully controlled his power to avoid causing too much damage to Whale East. It's not just that he deplored the whale. It's that he has a sense of challenge.
Since that mysterious power can confuse its mind, as a dragon monarch, it must be reversed.
It is a kind of determination, a kind of stubbornness to maintain the majesty of the dragon king.
Struggled in the sea for half an hour. After collapsing two seamounts, Whale East's physical strength did not decay much. Lu Zheng realized that in the realm of that mysterious force, it was very likely that he would continue to influence Whale East and even provide power.
If you want to regain the consciousness of the whale east. Gotta get away from that place.
The force stretches for 30 kilometers on a perimeter basis and only 2,000 meters vertically, or two kilometers. Obviously, this is the best and fastest option.
Constantly luring the whale and angering it, Lu Zheng finally lured it to the surface of the sea smoothly.
However, he soon discovers that Whale East has been very badly affected by the time he has spent in it. So much so that its body is filled with that mysterious power.
This is also the reason why the destroyer's electronics were interfered with.
As it turned out, Lu Zheng's decision was very wise.
That mysterious power is buried deep beneath the seamounts. Chain-like distribution, the breadth is great, but the vertical depth effect is very weakened. After resurfacing, the power of the whale began to drain rapidly.
Woo......
The golden dragon wrapped around the whale's body like a coiled snake, constantly rolling in the water to weaken its strength. The dragon's claws also condensed the aura of the true liquid of Tianshui, infusing its body and purifying its primordial spirit.
It's just that he didn't know that the destroyer in the distance was about to give the order to attack.
Danger is imminent.
"Your Excellency, do you remember the U28 incident in 1915? When the German U28 submarine encountered a long tail in the sea. Whale-like creature with limbs. It turns out that this flesh-and-blood sea beast is impossible to withstand with powerful modern weapons. ”
General Alex frowned, grabbed the communicator on the console and shouted, "Connect me to headquarters." ”
The correspondent hurriedly adjusted the communicator, and after a while, he sweated profusely and said, "General." Strong magnetic interference is located just near our port side. The communication interference is very strong, and the normal communication cannot be completed for the time being. ”
"Your Excellency, you can't hesitate any longer. ”
Seeing that the golden dragon was entwining the giant whale on the sea in the distance, and the giant whale's struggle was getting smaller and smaller, Chief of Staff Stricker said anxiously: "It looks like its predation is about to end." Checkmate. If he is allowed to dive into the deep sea, with its escape speed, it will be difficult for our current fire control system to accurately capture it again. ”
Indeed, according to scientific inference, this is the activity of the golden dragon's predation. It's just that his appetite is a little big, and he really eats a whale.
And the real situation is that Whale Dong's physical strength has been completely exhausted, and he can only let Lu Zheng infuse his body with the power of Tianshui True Liquid. To Lu Zheng's heart, his sanity began to show signs of recovery.
This also indirectly proves that Lu Zheng's Tianshui True Liquid has the power to fight with mysterious power.
This is the purpose of Lu Zheng's grappling.
Alex was silent for a long time, and as a leader, he had more factors to consider. The Austin's firepower configuration is indeed world-leading, and he will not be afraid of any country's warship.
He was hesitating now about what kind of power the strange creature in front of him had.
First of all, just killing a fin whale of thirty meters was enough to shock him. If he succeeds, of course, it is a credit, but if he fails, it will become a stain on his life.
"Order, General, this is just a ferocious sea beast, a beast that only knows how to prey and breed!"
"Stricker, what did you just say about Huaxia Dragon?"
Strick only knows the general situation about the Huaxia Dragon, but he doesn't know the specifics, and from his years of knowledge and experience, this creature is just a special species that has been deified, and in the final analysis, it lies in the gap in intelligence.
He firmly believes that man is the master of the earth,
"Your Excellency, this can only mean that it is indeed very unique, or has appeared in front of the Chinese people. Because it represents the imperial power of China, the Chinese people are extremely in awe of it. From its predatory behavior, I can be sure that it is nothing more than a sea beast with wild instincts, no different from any other animal. We have the most advanced Asroc anti-submarine missiles in the world, as well as the Aegis combat system. Our artillery system can also provide enough artillery fire to kill it. ”
Stricker was silent for a moment and said, "My only concern is how we should respond if we don't kill it, but let it escape." ”
"Well, I hope your advice is correct, I don't want any accidents! ”
General Alex finally made a difficult decision.
"Immediately order the War Department to prepare, lock on to the target, and prepare to fire. The artillery battle sequence is activated, the target is locked, and if necessary, the fire can be fully fired, and this rampant sea beast must be killed!"
The battle order was issued, and the soldiers of the USS Austin began to move in an orderly manner, demonstrating excellent combat qualities.
John and James were both damage managers of the USS Austin, and the so-called damage management is also damage control, which refers to the personnel responsible for preventing, limiting, and eliminating damage to the ship in order to maintain or restore its own action and combat effectiveness.
It is widely known that the automated combat system of the United States is at the forefront of the world, but thanks to the pragmatic traditional style of the United States, under the modern operation, many countries have tried to reduce the number of damage management personnel. However, the United States has gone the opposite way, and the number of damage management personnel has not decreased, but has a tendency to increase.
Because they firmly believe that in actual combat, any automation equipment is unreliable, and only personnel are the most reliable.
As the fighters began to prepare, John and James took their positions and began to adjust the plugging equipment, drainage equipment, and firefighting equipment.
"John, I think they're making too much of a fuss. A sea serpent only 30 meters long, there is nothing to worry about. I bet one of our torpedoes could blow all its intestines out. ”
"Haha, when the time comes, I'll definitely take a picture of it. Maybe there will be a chance to tweet it in the future, so that those Chinese yellow people can see how their dragon was killed by us. ”
"James, concentrate on your work! ”
John's mood was inexplicably a little irritable, and he vaguely remembered that he had just accidentally seen the eyes of the golden dragon, which were burning like a torch, with a breathtaking deterrent power, which made him feel inexplicable palpitations.
The destroyer began to adjust its orientation, and the Asroc anti-submarine missile launcher on the foredeck slowly adjusted the angle, the launcher was equipped with an advanced MK46-shaped torpedo, with a length of 2.59 meters, a weight of 235 kilograms, a diameter of 324 millimeters, a speed of more than 28 knots, and a warhead equipped with 44.5 kilograms of high-explosive charges, which had terrible lethality, enough to break the armor of the submarine.
And most importantly, the torpedo has excellent capabilities not only for deep-water anti-submarine, but also for combat in shallow waters.
And now, the golden dragon entangled with the giant whale is in the shallow water position, and it is in the best range.
Sou......
Fierce flames erupted from the launch pad, and torpedoes shining with a metallic sheen dragged the tail fire of the rocket and fired out in a parabolic line.
Sou......
Another MK46 torpedo, the wake of the torpedo in front of the follower was launched.
General Alex clenched his fists tightly, and Strick had a confident smile on his face.
Almost everyone on the bridge, on deck, held their breath. (To be continued.) )
