Chapter Seventy-Six: Four Kills of Oil Tankers!
"It's going to rain heavily. At sea, there is no stop. ”
In the dark night, in the inky water, the mechanical octopus poked its head out, and the two-meter-long cone appeared on the surface of the sea, almost like a silver reef.
Two big eyes looked into the distance, and the mechanical octopus had vaguely seen four oil tankers slowly sailing ahead. Four oil tankers side by side, dragging deep water marks on the surface of the sea, bringing up a lot of waves, sailing towards the inky night, searchlights flashing in the air, turning back and forth, occasionally signaling twice.
"Huhu~~! That should be the four oil tankers of Jiayang Group, right? it! I really don't know what to say...... Did Zhao Tiezhu have mercury in his head, and at most fifteen nautical miles behind him would be the escort fleet, right? I didn't follow the escort fleet, and I ran to the front first...... What the hell is this? ”
This kind of weird scene, Han Xiao really can't figure it out.
However, after thinking about it, this matter didn't seem to be a bad thing for Han Xiao. He was still having a headache before, and if the escort fleet was nearby, he would inevitably have some scruples when he made a move. It's good now, there is nothing around that can threaten him at all, and it won't be too easy to destroy these four oil tankers!
Actually, how did Han Xiao know that Zhao Tiezhu was not willing to do this! It's just that the royal family of the UAE is too short to urge. He let the tanker break away from the convoy in order to save as much time as possible and get to the UAE as soon as possible! If there is any further delay on the road, and the "friend" of the UAE repents, who will he go to cry?
Can you be willing to let him pull away the oil first, and then pay for it later, do you think it's every day?
"The speed of this tanker seems to be faster than expected. Well...... However, it seems that this route will not pass through the territory of the South Vietnamese devils at all...... That's it, if you don't pass by, don't pass by, sink these four tankers first~! ”
With a "whoosh", the mechanical octopus disappeared into the sea again and rushed towards the four oil tankers not far ahead.
When it got to the bottom of the tankers, it first looked at it again, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with the underneath the tankers, the mechanical octopus swam under the brand-new 100,000-ton tanker again.
An oil tanker with a load of 100,000 tons is almost 200 meters long alone, and the area under the ship into the sea is also amazing.
Han Xiao stared at a position at the bottom of the oil tanker, and the mechanical octopus first swam fifty meters towards the sea, and then suddenly rushed upwards towards the bottom of the oil tanker!
With a loud "bang", I saw that the two-meter-long cone on the head of the mechanical octopus was directly pierced more than one and a half meters. This stabbing out did not make the tanker shake too much, Han Xiao controlled the mechanical octopus, and with a strong support of his eight wrists and feet, he first broke away from the bottom of the tanker, and then aimed at another place next to him, and hit it again!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang......"
After more than a dozen consecutive collisions, the captain and crew of the tanker finally reacted.
Inside the wheelhouse, a crew member looked at the hull structure diagram, and a dozen red circles appeared under the hull to warn, and stammered: "Ship, captain, we, we were attacked by something I don't know...... At present, there are at least fifteen large holes under the bottom of our ship with a diameter of more than 1.2 meters, and according to the calculation of the flow of seawater, even if the drainage device is activated immediately and the bottom of the ship is repaired, it will completely sink in 30 minutes......"
The so-called complete sinking refers to the kind that does not even rise in size.
"Our tankers, how could they be attacked? You don't know what you said, can you confirm it? The captain barely kept his calm, and while questioning, he spoke: "Immediately send a distress signal to Jiayang No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 to see if we can come up with a way to save this oil tanker!" ”
This was attacked, but it was a brand new 100,000-ton oil tanker!
This is just a virgin voyage, and it actually happened to me, and it is not saved if there is a chance of **? This is not the Titanic, which sank on the first voyage, which one is it going to play?
The captain cursed in his heart, and at the same time his heart was very heavy.
He was the captain of this tanker. If the tanker does sink, whatever the cause, he will definitely bear a considerable part of the responsibility. There's a good chance he'll never be a captain again for the rest of his life......
He was still thinking about it, when suddenly, he felt another slight tremor in the hull, and then the shaking of the hull seemed to increase all of a sudden. The captain suddenly came back to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”
"Captain! No, it's not good! It's really bad now! Just now, a quarter of the way from the bow of the ship, there was another big hole, the bulkhead could no longer bear the weight, and the tanker was about to break......"
"Break?" The captain's pupils shrank, "A quarter of the bow of the ship?" ”
"No, that's right......"
The first mate was also stunned: "Captain, this tanker is not saved, we don't have time to think too much, we must escape from here immediately!" Otherwise, we will all be swept into the sea and we will not be able to escape! ”
"Captain, give the order!"
None of these crew members who ate at sea were stupid.
The hull of the ship is broken, and if this ship can still not sink, then there is a ghost! Moreover, this huge oil tanker, once it sinks into the sea, a large amount of seawater pouring into the hull will create a whirlpool with amazing suction power in a very short time! Under this terrifying whirlpool, let alone people, even some small cargo ships and cruise ships may sink once they are caught in the whirlpool!
This is definitely not a joke!
They have to get out of here in the shortest possible time.
"Captain!"
The captain came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "Order, abandon ship!" Contact other tankers immediately and ask for their help and support! Also, call the escort fleet and ask them to come and determine the cause of the sinking of the tanker! ”
"Yes! Captain! ”
On board the tanker, ten improvised propeller speedboats were lowered into the sea.
The tanker's hull had tilted, and all the crew had only thirty seconds to pack up their things, and then boarded the speedboat one by one, dispersed, and rushed towards the three surrounding tankers.
Under the sea, the mechanical octopus stared at a pair of big eyes and also avoided it from a distance.
"? It's over so soon? However, this is for me to learn how to wreck ships in the future. This is aimed at a line and smashed over, it must be sinking~! ”
Han Xiao thought in his heart, and looked at the terrifying scene of the sinking place of the oil tanker with palpitations.
A large amount of groundwater converges towards one location, and the whirlpool suction formed is really not small, and even mechanical octopuses don't want to fall into it. It's not necessarily going to be fatal, but it's definitely going to be embarrassing.
"Huhu~~ These crew members should have escaped! Well...... We're here to sink oil tankers, not to kill people. Jiayang Group Lao Tzu is not pleasing to the eye, but these crew members are innocent......"
The mechanical octopus observed below, and after making sure that the crew had boarded the other oil tankers, Han Xiao asked the mechanical octopus to target another 100,000-ton oil tanker, waved his tentacles, and rushed over-
"Bang!"
Another bang......
……
Half an hour later, in the wind and rain, the Huaxia escort fleet arrived quickly, and all the crew members who fell into the water were successfully rescued on the escort ship.
On the sea, one of the four oil tankers is about to sink completely, and the other three are also slowly sinking. The captain of the escort ship, wearing a waterproof suit, looked into the sea in the distance, and walked quickly back into the cabin.
"How did these four oil tankers sink?"
"I, we don't know......" One of the crew members drank hot water, his face dazed. He had just been offered a lucrative contract, and he was thinking of working hard at sea for a few years, and then go home to marry a wife and have children. How is it that everything has become a bubble after only one day of sailing?
"Something seems to be attacking the bottom of the ship all the time."
"It can't be a submarine of a foreign devil, right?"
"Fart! If it's a submarine, where do we need to be so troublesome to sink us? A torpedo comes over and we're all going to be finished! ”
"It's a sea monster! Definitely a sea monster. ”
The crew was talking about it, and many of the officers on the frigate had black faces and looked like they had a headache.
Four tankers sank right in front of them, and although it was because the tankers had left the frigate without permission, it was enough to give them a headache. Moreover, it is necessary to find out what exactly is attacking the tanker. If it is really the army of the surrounding enemy countries, the counterattack is certain. Merely...... There's no useful information at all!
"Report to the captain, when I checked the ship's surveillance just now, I suspected that an unknown object attacking the oil tanker was found!"
"What? Play the monitoring on the big screen now! ”
"Yes!"
A fighter answered, and then on the big screen, a blurry picture was displayed, which lasted only about five seconds before it ended.
Everyone looked at the picture, and their eyes widened - what unknown object was captured in this picture? It's a blur!
"Explain!" The captain didn't see why, so he could only ask.
One of the fighters answered, then restarted the video, marking a red circle on it: "Look here." Between the second and fifth and three seconds, it is clear that an unidentified object has appeared here......"
With the guidance, everyone looked again this time, only to see that in the waves, a strange-looking thing with a sharp head seemed to really appear within the specified time, and then dived into the sea again, and disappeared.
"Judgment! What is this? The captain asked coldly.
"Report! Judging by it, it should be some kind of strange giant sea creature. The part that emerges from the water, which should be its head, which, according to video analysis, is at least one and a half meters long...... As for the specific data, it is only possible to conclude that the detailed data is collected from these sunken tankers......"
"Isn't it a man-made special device?"
"It's very unlikely."
"That's good......" the captain breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not people from other countries who make trouble, it's much easier to deal with. I don't know why the sea creatures are attacking the tanker - well, maybe the sea creatures don't like the tanker!
Who knows?
