Chapter Seventy-Five: Finally Returning Home
"Urgent ascent!"
"Host Speed!"
"Stand back!"
Five days passed in a flash, and under the cooperation and guidance of the original Karl team members, the submariners of the Navy quickly became familiar with the operation of the Alpha class.
These professional submariners are much more powerful than Karl's team, they themselves are officers and soldiers on the national nuclear submarines, and their military quality is extremely high, dozens of people cooperate like a person, and every order of the captain will be carried out in a timely and accurate manner.
Before sailing, these submariners would stay in the submarine every day to conduct various exercises, and sometimes they would practice for the whole day without rest.
Before carrying out every order, these submariners had to shout out loud and then shout the order without taking action, so as to practice the handling of various dangerous situations in the event of a situation.
Drills are drills! It would have been a good thing to preview the operation a few more times for safety, but the most important thing is that Chen Xu also had to sit in the nuclear reactor control room to cooperate with everyone in the exercise.
And now he most wants to go out on the big ship, wearing a short coat and short sleeves to lie on the deck and sunbathe, preferably with a glass of apple juice on the small table next to him. Instead of being forced to sit in a cramped cabin, with his hands dragging his chin and looking at the boring meter in a daze, his ears are filled with the sound of everyone repeating orders one after another.
It's not that Chen Xu doesn't dare to go out, no one can stop him from doing anything in this world.
It's just that the commander of the East China Sea Fleet is too scary, Chen Xu doesn't dare to do anything with him, this old man is usually an amiable commander, but when it comes to the mission, he becomes a Spartan devil, all kinds of stern and all kinds of loud voices.
This guy personally served as the political commissar of the submarine and helped the captain manage the submarine troops, this guy was willing to set an example and stuff himself in the submarine, Chen Xu naturally couldn't say anything, could he still talk to an old man.
Dad felt sorry for Chen Xu for working too hard, and tried to stay up with him in the submarine these days, the father and son chatted about the international situation, and the relationship heated up rapidly.
In just a few days, Chen Xu finally felt the feeling of his father's love, and his cold heart began to melt by the warmth of family affection.
The week's training time was fleeting, and China actually sent a signal telling the Yuanwang-1 missile that the test launch had failed, and the launch had been postponed indefinitely, and that the fleet was required to return home.
After receiving the signal, the fleet had no reason to stay in this area, and in the early morning of the same day, the fleet set sail again and returned home. The submarine quietly dived below the surface and sailed silently behind the flotilla.
Perhaps it is because of the professional submarine team to operate, the road is orderly, the submarine is not as noisy as before, there is more seriousness and seriousness, and the atmosphere is also very harmonious. After all, they are surrounded by trustworthy compatriots, and they will not hesitate to rush to the front if there is any danger, and with them by their side, Chen Xu does not have to worry about the submarine sinking all day long.
Perhaps out of caution, the submarine sailed slowly on the bottom of the sea, and everything was very cautious and cautious, without making any risky moves, and every three days it would rise to the surface with the help of night, so that the officers and men would take turns to go to the ship to recuperate and recuperate.
Compared with the hard-working and professional submarine officers and soldiers, they really just distracted themselves when they got on the big ship, and Chen Xu was really half-dead, and every time he came out, he just lay on the deck and never wanted to get up again.
Every time he got on the boat, Dad would bring freshly squeezed juice in time, and then sit next to him to comfort him, and help Chen Xu calculate how long it would be to finish.
Under the patient persuasion of his father, Chen Xu returned to work every time he endured his impatience
Although he was already very resistant to getting into that stinking submarine, even the commander of the East China Sea Fleet knew that Chen Xu had reached his limit, and he was already a person with strong willpower who had lived in the submarine for almost two months for a trained person, and he didn't go crazy.
Therefore, the commander with a very bad temper was in the submarine, but he paid special attention to the tone of Chen Xu's speech, and he was soft-voiced for fear that his voice would be too loud and disgusted by Chen Xu. Even the other comrades-in-arms let him everywhere, and Chen Xu never had to wait to go to the toilet, just go and go with him.
When Chen Xu disliked the cramped bunk and couldn't sleep with insomnia, he began to be nervous and couldn't see anyone well, and he lost his temper all day long.
Several officers on the submarine were particularly anxious, for fear that something would go wrong with Chen Xu, the only reactor controller. Fortunately, a comrade-in-arms came up with an idea to help him build a hammock bunk in the relatively spacious torpedo compartment.
Chen Xu fell asleep holding the cold torpedo every day, and his mood finally calmed down, the symptoms of insomnia were alleviated, and his mood tended to be stable.
It was almost half a month after this stop-and-go that Alpha entered the East China Sea, at which time Yuanwang No. 1 and the submarine broke up, and a large number of fishing boats followed behind to escort them. When the submarine slowly drove into the secret submarine port of the East China Sea Fleet, this submarine journey that made Chen Xu painful finally came to an end.
When the watertight door at the entrance of the bridge was opened, several submarine officers and soldiers in front of them climbed out first, followed by Chen Xu.
When Chen Xu climbed onto the bridge, he saw that the dock outside was already full of people, and the atmosphere in the crowd was warm, and everyone looked at the submarine with blazing eyes.
Especially the few great people who stood at the front, he had only seen them in magazines. The first time I saw a great man of this level, I was so moved, although I knew that they only came here in person to see the submarine.
The next process is the formulaic leader to inspect the submarine, and the crew all leave the submarine and line up on the dock to be inspected by the leader.
The process was nothing more than the old chief coming over and shaking hands with the crew one by one, chatting politely for two or three sentences, saying "hard work", "great merit" and other unnutritious words.
Chen Xu is not interested in these, but the submariners are particularly interested in this, and they all try to respond to the condolences of the old chiefs, Chen Xu clearly saw that the tears of some guys were already rolling in their eyes, as if it was a blessing in life to see these legendary powers.
Chen Xu was at the end, when this great power shook hands one by one and walked in front of Chen Xu, he first looked Chen Xu up and down, and only after half a ring did he smile and hold Chen Xu's hand with both hands, and said very hard: "Comrade Chen Xu, you have made great contributions to the country, I thank you on behalf of the country, with this submarine, at least 30 years of worry-free coastline in my country, the credit is too great to describe in words." ”
"Nope! No! It's all the credit of my comrades-in-arms, if it weren't for them, the submarine wouldn't have been able to come back at all, and I was just an idle person in the submarine and didn't do much, and I couldn't compare with them. "Chen Xu is really being praised like this for the first time in his life, the old chief can't wait to call him a savior, where can Chen Xu bear this level of cowhide, and waved his hand again and again.
