Chapter 882: Despair
The Red Coral had just calmed down after a life-and-death test, but suddenly felt a shake again.
The 6,000-ton nuclear submarine is like a toy in the sea, easily swaying from side to side, accompanied by the terrible sound of metal being crushed and twisted by the shell.
You must know that the shell of the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine is not made of ordinary steel, it is all cast from H100 special steel, which is known as the industrial miracle of the last century, and so far only a very few countries such as the United States and Mao Bear can make it.
This H100 special steel is usually made of extremely pure refined steel and then recast with other metal elements according to a certain ratio, and its manufacturing process is complex and expensive, even comparable to gold.
This special steel has an unmatched hardness and resistance and is commonly used in the construction of aircraft carriers and submarines.
Although the steel output of our flower growers ranks first in the world, but, when it comes to special steel, it is a pity to say that we have not yet been able to achieve localization, and the profit of 10,000 tons of special steel is almost equivalent to the total profit of our steel production in a year, and the degree of windfall profits can be imagined.
The shell of the Red Coral nuclear submarine can easily withstand a strong pressure of 10 million pascals, but under the winch of the giant octopus, the hard special steel shell has been terrifyingly twisted, and the anti-rust paint on the shell has been torn apart to reveal the bright white metallic luster as white as silver inside, and the metal is squeezed and deformed when it emits a "hissing" metallic sound, sharp and harsh, even the submarine can be heard clearly.
"Oh my God, what's going on? Our submarine is going to be finished. William looked at the staggering numbers displayed on the piezometer and was stunned.
This rapidly rising pressure value is like putting a nuclear submarine on a tens of thousands of tons of ramjets and being constantly crushed.
Everyone watched in horror at this terrible scene, and everyone held their breath as if waiting for death to come.
After a violent tear and crushing, the Red Coral suddenly fell silent again, it was a deathly silence, there was no sound at all, and the value of the piezometer seemed to return to normal, showing normal water pressure.
"God, what kind of monster is this?" William muttered to himself, confused.
"We're dead, we're hopeless. Xiao Ke said with a frightened expression, his face turned pale.
"These damn Huaxia guys, are they going to kill us?****!~" Private First Class Brut scolded angrily.
"A guy told me before that there are three things not to try to do when a soldier of the United States, first, don't be an enemy of Lao Maozi, second, don't go to the front line in the Middle East, and third, don't provoke the Chinese Yankees. If you commit these three taboos, you will die, I didn't expect it to be really hit by him, we are dead, no one will come to save us, this is the territory of the Chinese Yankees. Lieutenant Dimon said with a sad face, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Hey, Damon, calm down, you're a soldier, how about being a man? It's not the worst yet, don't be so negative, God doesn't need us to be with him yet, we still have hope. Lieutenant Colonel Duke grabbed Damon's head tightly, pressed his forehead against Lieutenant Damon's forehead, and stared straight into Lieutenant Damon's timid eyes like a falcon.
However, as soon as Lieutenant Colonel Duke's voice fell, there was a sudden loud "bump!~", as if something was being crushed, and then, the icy sea water poured into the inner cabin.
"Oh, damn it!~ The cabin is flooded, close the compartment immediately!Hurry up!~" Major Charles immediately ordered.
The crew moved quickly and immediately went to close the water barrier, and it only took a few seconds from the time they received the order to the time they were quick to act, which showed the level of training they had.
"I hope it doesn't get too much water, and it doesn't sink!~" Lieutenant Damon prayed with his hands folded as he drew a cross on his chest and forehead.
Soon, the water trap was closed, and the sea water was blocked out of the water trap, but due to the excessive water ingress, the whole submarine was tilted, the head of the submarine sank, and the tail was raised high, like a water drop inserted into the water, about to fall into the endless sea abyss.
"Oh my God, what the hell does this guy want? how can there be such a terrible monster?" said Lieutenant Colonel Duke, who was not calm at the moment, and muttered to himself with fear in his heart.
"Sir, listen!~" At this time, William suddenly shouted, and immediately, everyone fell silent.
At this time, I could only hear the sound of metal being crushed from inside the submarine again, but this time the sound was much quieter, very slightly, a little squeezing, as if it was carefully cutting something.
"What the hell is this sound about, what the hell are these Chinese guys doing?" asked Major Charles, frowning.
"Are their frogmen coming?" asked William.
"How can there be frogmen in such a deep place? We're going to die, we're done. Lieutenant Dimon shouted in despair.
The entire submarine was immersed in a dead silence, and everyone stopped talking, as if they had a premonition of a tragic end, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
However, just when the entire submarine was silent, news from the pocket submarine was suddenly heard again.
"Sir, sir, are you still alive? Can anyone hear?" said a question and answer from a pocket submarine over the submarine communication system.
"William, you go pick it up. Lieutenant Colonel Duke gave William a look, and William climbed to the position of the communication system and picked up the telephone.
"This is the Red Coral, where are you now?" asked William.
"We're right next to you, you're in a terrible condition, like you're going to sink at any moment, how can we help you?" asked Frogman Captain Cook.
"You can't help us with anything, you guys go quickly, the big guy outside is going to crush you all together. William said.
"The octopus is gone, it's not here. Cook's gaze looked out through the tempered glass window, and under the bright light, there was no sign of the giant octopus.
"The octopus is missing?" asked William, surprised.
"Yes, the octopus is gone, and we can get you out. Cook drove the pocket submarine and slowly docked around the Red Coral.
"How did you save us?" asked William.
"I can send the others to the surface and then free up the space and pick you up one by one. Cook said.
"No, it's too dangerous, we've never been trained to recover pocket submarines. William replied.
"Sir, there's no way, this is the only chance. Cook insisted.
