Chapter 69: Submarine

After the submarine hid in the 100-meter deep sea, it kept following the passenger ship that had entered the water and tilted. Because Chen Xu was worried that if the ship did not sink to the bottom of the sea, but floated in the sea area of the accident and was found by the Soviet Navy who heard the news, it would become a big trouble.

Facts have also proved that Chen Xu's worries are justified, the passenger ship whose hull has been smashed into the water actually sailed more than 100 nautical miles on its own, until it ran out of fuel and stopped in place for more than ten minutes before slowly falling into the deep sea of the Atlantic Ocean.

The shell of the Alpha-class nuclear submarine is welded from ultra-high-strength titanium alloy, and the ultimate diving depth can reach 600 meters, and no other military submarine in the world can reach such a depth.

Moreover, Alpha uses a liquid metal reactor, and its powerful power can allow Alpha to run wildly at the bottom of the sea at a speed of forty knots, of course, it will be very noisy and easy to reveal its identity.

Karl didn't dare to sink the submarine to a depth of six hundred meters, nor did he dare to race the submarine on the bottom of the sea, in his eyes it was very dangerous to challenge the limits of a submarine, only a fool would do it.

So he only ordered the submarine to be suspended at a depth of two hundred to three hundred meters, cruising at a speed of twenty knots per hour. It not only ensures that other submarines will not be encountered at such depths, but also ensures that the submarines will not be detected quietly.

According to Karl's planned voyage, Alpha will turn back, and he believes that the Atlantic Ocean will be very lively in the future, and Soviet and NATO ships will haunt here to find the two sunken submarines, and now there is a risk of exposure across the Atlantic.

So after confirming that the passenger liner was sinking, the submarine turned around and returned to South America, passing Cape Horn through the Drake Strait into the Pacific Ocean, and finally crossing the Pacific Ocean back to China.

According to the pre-formulated plan, the Chinese Navy will send people to meet you at the equator and 150 west longitude, close to Christmas Island, of course, this response is not to send warships over but to requisition civilian ships. At this stage, the Chinese Navy does not have a few decent warships, and all warships of more than 2,000 tons are wooden, let alone small Japan, and even the island frogs on the other side of the strait cannot be compared. Therefore, it is more reliable to use civilian ocean-going vessels.

As soon as he thought of the 3,000-ton fishery administration ship in China in later generations, and the fishery administration 88 was directly tens of thousands of tons, Chen Xu felt that China's naval construction had a long way to go. It is hoped that after this Alpha-class nuclear submarine arrives at home, it will be able to use the technology on the submarine to exchange some large-tonnage active warships from the Americans to supplement China's weak navy.

Ideally, if the mercenaries don't have to stay in cramped submarines, they can take a boat to China. The elite submariners transferred from China can greatly relieve the pressure on Karl's team.

Karl and Rukasha were only able to sleep for five hours a day, and they were divided into several naps to rest, and even when they slept, they would often wake up suddenly and come out to inquire about the condition of the submarine.

The submarine originally needs a team that has been running in for a long time to reach the level of heart, and if the absolute unity of the crew cannot be guaranteed in the narrow submarine, a small mistake will kill everyone.

And Carl is not worried about the ability of his team, he is anxious that everyone is not familiar with this nuclear submarine, and it is impossible to repair it if there is a problem, so he must ensure that every crew member is working seriously, and he is afraid that everyone will relax as soon as he sleeps, so that he does not dare to sleep for a long time.

Speaking of the most tired person on the submarine is Chen Xu, he is the only one on the submarine who can control the nuclear reactor, this reactor must be turned on twenty-four hours a day, although there are two assistants to help him, but they are all amateurs, most of the time they have to do it themselves. He can only lie on the floor of the control room when he sleeps, and every time he goes to the toilet, he has to leave the door open, because as soon as he hears the alarm from the nuclear reactor, he must immediately lift his pants and rush back as fast as he can, and there is no time to wipe his buttocks.

On the tenth day of the dive, the crew finally began to have problems. Especially for those mercenaries who have no experience in submarine, some people begin to have memory problems, cannot speak the words they want, and they are in a trance when they work, and they don't know what they are doing. At the worst of the time, someone began to desperately bang his head against the wall, because he really couldn't stand this cramped space.

Emotions are contagious, and Carl fears that the crew will continue to be in this bad situation, venturing up in the dark of night and letting the crew go outside to let the wind out.

"Captain, I don't think it's that dangerous in the Pacific, and we don't need to do this kind of long submarine, which will hurt the crew too much." When the wind was released, Chen Xu came to Carl's side and expressed his opinion.

The submarine was quietly parked on the sea, and the crew took off their clothes to swim in the sea, and they were stuffy in the big iron tank for more than ten days.

"Chen, do you mean to come out often?" Karl frowned.

"That's right! I think going out late every night will be good for everyone's mood, at least there won't be that inexplicable mental illness again. If we don't have time to get to Christmas Island, we're going to have an accident. Chen Xu persuaded loudly.

"What you said is very reasonable, since this is the case, you can go out for two hours every night to ensure everyone's work efficiency." Carl also knows that long-term diving is a double-edged sword, although it can protect himself from detection to the greatest extent, but it is a huge test for the crew's body, and the submarine is very likely to have an accident.

"Long live the captain!" When Chen Xu announced the good news, the crew swimming around in the sea let out a warm cheer and slapped Karl's ass.

Carl disagreed, and stood on the bridge like a sculpture, using binoculars to monitor the nearby sea.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Chen Xu was diving in pain, but Allen had already done a lot of things, first of all, the forty-five mercenaries who did not go down to the underground port, Allen arranged for them to take a death flight, and the plane had a serious failure during takeoff and crashed near the airport, which became the biggest international news at the time.

In addition, many of the peripheral members of the Strauss family who knew Allen's whereabouts were also assassinated and disposed of, the process was very cruel, but in order to protect the Alpha-class nuclear submarine from being leaked, he had to do it.

Zhong Siyang and Anna flew back to China on the fifth day after Chen Xu's departure.

After returning to Xiangping City, the first thing he did was to go to Chen Xu's grandfather, Chen Hu, and without saying anything, he only clamored for Chen Hu to take him to see the commander of the navy, which was related to Chen Xu's safety, and it was impossible to reveal half a word about anything anyway.

Chen Hu knew that the big man was a donkey, and he wouldn't say anything he wouldn't say, if you really beat him to death, he wouldn't say it, considering that this matter was related to the safety of his grandson, the old man didn't dare to be careless, and personally led Zhong Siyang to Beijing by plane and rushed to the naval headquarters......
