Chapter 189: Nuclear Submarines

"Start Autopilot!"

"Set the destination: Lotus Industrial Island. ”

"20-knot cruise control"

After Paul left, the blue whale at the bottom of the sea was automatically taken over by the system and headed towards Lotus Industrial Island.

At this time, at the bottom of the sea not far from the blue whale, a Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine was on a mission.

Among the large tankers that disappeared in succession, the largest number of tankers were controlled by the United States, and this time the Fifth Fleet sent not only aircraft carrier formations on the sea, but also underwater nuclear submarines.

"Sir, turn 30 degrees to the left and find a large unidentified creature!"

In the spacious submarine control compartment, a voice rang out.

Derrick looked at the sonar map.

"It's just a blue whale!" Derrick didn't care, he just glanced at it and saw what it was, although he didn't encounter many whales in the sea, but it wasn't very rare.

The submarine continued to dive under the sea, and after 10 minutes, Derrick took another look at the sonar map, and the blue whale seemed to be amiss.

"This blue whale is swimming too fast!"

Feeling something was wrong in his heart, Derrick immediately asked, "What is the speed of that blue whale?"

Hearing this, the sonar began to calculate the speed of the blue whale, and then said loudly: "20 knots, sir, this is definitely not a blue whale, it is very likely to be a small submarine." ”

A speed of 20 knots is not very fast in the ocean, but if this speed is constant, then there must be a problem.

"Keep up and keep your distance. Darek commanded.

The submarine quickly completed its turn in the sea, following behind the blue whale.

Time passed quickly, and Derrick had confirmed that he was following a camouflaged submarine, as no blue whale or sea creature could swim at the same speed for 36 hours straight.

"Captain, the target has slowed down. ”

"Dive 300 meters and go underneath him!"

"Yes sir!"

After the blue whale in front of it reduced its speed, it then floated up and entered the port of Lotus Industrial Island, where at this time it had been densely stopped 12 blue whales, and after the blue whale landed, a group of construction machinery shaking the mechanical arm swarmed up and began to inspect and maintain the blue whale.

At this time, the submarine in the sea also had problems.

"Sir, 1,000 meters ahead is shallow water, we can't go any further. ”

With the voice of his subordinates, a nautical chart was revealed.

"Is there an island up ahead?" said Derick, looking at the chart.

"Yes, sir, according to the charts, there is a deserted island ahead. ”

"Desert island?" Derick said secretly in his heart, "Is there a submarine supply port on this desert island, and if so, which country?"

Thinking of this, Derik immediately commanded: "Float to the periscope depth!"

Derick finished his order, and then came to a huge display, which was the submarine's electronic periscope display.

The submarine quickly floated to a depth of 20 meters above the surface, and then floated up from the top ball of the submarine towards the surface of the sea, with a long line underneath the ball.

The ball quickly floated to the surface of the sea, and the display in front of Derik also showed the situation on the surface of the sea, and it was a 360-degree picture.

In the picture, the sea is calm and endless, and there is nothing else.

"Didn't you say there's a desert island here? I didn't see anything. Derrick asked, confused.

"No, it's clearly marked on the charts, there's a desert island here, and land-based has been detected in sonar. The subordinate said loudly.

Listening to the words of his subordinates, the doubts in Darek became even greater, could it be that this desert island is still invisible.

"Activate the reconnaissance radar!"

At Derick's command, the radar on the submarine began to work, and in the radar map, a black plate representing land appeared.

"It's weird! It's weird!" Derrick's eyes move back and forth in the radar scan and periscope picture, this situation is something he has never encountered, if there is nothing in the radar, then it must be seen through the periscope, this radar is invisible He has encountered a lot, but invisible in the periscope, this is the first time he has encountered it, and not being able to see it in the periscope means that the human eye cannot see it either.

"This is so weird!" Derick scolded and commanded loudly, "All the personnel are in combat mode!"

The red lights and buzzers sounded in various areas of the submarine in the next moment, and all the personnel, whether they were resting, eating, or watching a movie, more than 300 people in the entire submarine were busy the next moment.

"Report to the captain, all personnel are in combat mode!"

Derick nodded and ordered: "Launch the Osprey drone, I don't believe that this desert island can really be invisible!"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Vertical Launch Tube No. 4 is ready!"

"Osprey, deployment complete!"

"Ready to launch!"

“5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1…… Launch!"

In the No. 4 launch tube at the bottom of the submarine, an Osprey drone about 3 meters long was launched.

The Osprey UAV passes through the vertical launch tube of the submarine, as if it is a tuna piercing the water, breaking through the water in an instant, and the strong elastic force makes the Osprey more than 100 meters away from the sea surface at this time, when the fuselage reaches the apex and begins to fall down, the originally smooth fuselage, a pair of wings instantly pop out, with the help of the buoyancy of the wings, the drone is about to fall to the sea surface when it draws an arc and flies back into the air, as if it is an osprey fishing on the sea surface.

The Osprey drone circled in the air for a moment, and then flew in the direction of the desert island.

Derick looked at the image of the osprey on the screen, and suddenly he stood up from the captain's chair and exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

Derrick's shout brought everyone's eyes together, and then everyone let out all sorts of shocks, and they watched in disbelief at the image taken by the osprey.

A moment ago, it was a picture of the sea, but suddenly a behemoth appeared, and from high in the sky, this behemoth looked like a blooming lotus flower, each petal was silver, shimmering white in the light of the sun.

"Isn't that the USS Ireland?" exclaimed one of them.

In the video taken by the drone, a very large number of oil tankers are docked under one of the petals of this lotus flower.

"Draco, Liberty, oh my God, Charm, Autonomy, Windward ......"

One oil tanker after another was recognized, and the tankers parked here were all supertankers that had disappeared off the coast of Somalia.

At this moment, the screen suddenly blurred, and then the screen went black!

Everyone exclaimed, and Darek tried to calm himself down, and said loudly, "Guys, we're in big trouble this time!"
