Chapter Seventy-Seven: Submarines
Bruce still has a submarine?
According to the black Ram, although the ** is advanced, it is a surface ship after all, and Bermuda's secret is more under the sea.
So Sir Bruce spent a lot of money to secretly order a deep-sea submarine from the United States, and two years ago, after the submarine arrived at the research institute, Sir Bruce used more of the Seahorse submarine to enter Bermuda for investigation, this matter was his secret, and even Ye Wuxian did not know.
The crowd hurried back to the institute, Ram opened a secret passage in the backyard flower cellar, and everyone walked down the steel staircase to the bottom of the cliff, and sure enough, there was a yellow submarine moored in the pool, surrounded by a lot of equipment needed for submarines.
This is a kind of scientific research submarine, and the biggest difference between military submarines is that the front of the submarine is transparent, people can sit in the cockpit and can intuitively see everything under the sea, and the depth of the submarine is also amazing, you can go deep into the forbidden area of two thousand meters.
With a length of 14.85 meters and a maximum capacity of four people, the Seahorse relies on diesel generator sets and lithium-ion batteries to power it and can stay underwater for up to 12 hours.
This kind of scientific research submarine does not have the ability to sail far, and needs to use a tugboat to tow the submarine to the target position, and at the end of each deep dive, it has to re-reserve power for the next sneak.
Perhaps because of a premonition, Sir Bruce has been keeping a low profile in the past two years, no longer using the scientific research ship ** with a significant target, but relying on an old tugboat and the Seahorse submarine to do exploration work.
Everyone can drive a tugboat, but no one has ever touched a submarine, and the Seahorse is less than 15 meters long, but it costs as much as 50 million pounds, which is a typical luxury.
Ye Wuxian took out a thick pilot's manual from the cockpit of the Seahorse, threw it to Shen Rui and Lao Pan, and said, "You guys study how to drive the submarine out, and I'll go to Bruce's research room to collect information." ”
Shen Rui pursed his lips, now learning to drive a submarine, no matter how you look at it, it tastes like catching ducks on the shelves.
Fortunately, the equipment of the scientific research submarine is simple, and it is the same as driving, it is also controlled by the rudder, the main and co-pilot can be controlled, there are two main control sticks, one is set to dive and float, and one controls the positive and negative rotation of the propeller and the power output.
Shen Rui and Lao Pan got into the cockpit and stumbled to drive the Seahorse out of the pool and into the ocean through the underground waterway.
I have to say that driving a submarine and driving a car have a completely different feeling, watching the fish swimming around the submarine, and the dark world is getting deeper and deeper under the feet, and the people in the submarine can feel the mystery and power of the ocean all the time.
Shen Rui has experience in manipulating Xiaoba under the sea, and he is more familiar with the underwater world, but he doesn't feel afraid, but he can't smoke in the submarine, and there is no sound around, so he feels more depressed.
Shen Rui's strategy is not to understand, but to be able to open.
To put it simply, it is to drive the submarine proficiently, as for how to operate the front robotic arm, what do various instruments mean, and then look back, many people do this for the first time when driving, although they can stumble forward, but they don't understand the meaning of gear and engine speed.
……
All night, Shen Rui and Lao Pan were groping for how to control the Seahorse, and Ye Wuxian was also collecting information all night, cracking the encryption of the research institute's server, and copying the internal data into his military notebook.
As soon as it was dark, an old, unassuming-looking trawler set off from the cavern under the institute and headed for the Bermuda Triangle.
Sir Bruce had apparently been aware that someone was watching him, the rusty hull of the tugboat used to tow the Seahorse, but the interior was well modified, with two Cummins high-horsepower diesel engines, large fuel and fresh water tanks large enough for continuous sailing of 6,000 nautical miles, a cabin full of explosion-proof gas canisters for all kinds of cans and cooking, advanced radar and satellite communications.
Despite its shabby appearance, the ship has a strong heart that is strong enough to cope with a long voyage in a complex sea like the Bermuda Triangle, and can escape with speed in the face of storms.
It's just that no one knows if the reason why Bruce abandoned the mighty ** in favor of this old-fashioned trawler, which is obviously a cover-up, is because of those guys from the Holy See? What exactly are the interests between them?
A natural scientist and a bunch of god sticks? I really don't understand, how did they get connected?
Ye Wuxian easily stared at the ** by invading the satellite system, the distance between the two was more than a thousand nautical miles, and the ** was currently moored in the Bermuda Triangle, close to the core area, and did not move, at least until after midnight today, Shen Rui and they could catch up with each other.
Lao Pan was in charge of driving the boat, Ye Wuxian struggled to type various parameters on the computer, Shen Rui had nothing to do, and used his spiritual power to link to Xiao Ba, who was still in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
Since having this little guy, it is the first time for Shen Rui to venture out to sea without Xiao Ba, you must know that although Ye Wuxian is smart, Lao Pan is tough, and Shen Rui also has a high enough perception, but in this small group, what really matters is Xiao Ba.
After all, Xiaoba is an anti-heaven-level ocean killer, with and without Xiaoba, the combat effectiveness is many levels worse.
But there is no way, the Pacific Ocean is so vast, Xiao Bayi will definitely not be able to arrive at it in the first half of the year, so he can only rely on the strength of Shen Rui and others.
"There are reinforcements on the other side." Ye Wuxian suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "There was a 12,000-ton cargo ship berthed next to the ** just now, and it is estimated that it is also from those guys in the Vatican." ”
"A freighter?" Shen Rui frowned and asked, "What kind of goods are loaded?" ”
"Investigation is underway, but I have a bad premonition that the ship set sail from the Crimea, where the Black Sea Fleet is the main base." Ye Wuxian said.
"There is, a new generation of medium-sized military deep-sea rescue submarines, the Sturgeon, which can carry twenty-four members, dive to a depth of two thousand meters, a titanium alloy double-layer shell, four sets of robotic arms, and battery power." Ye Wuxian finally stole the other party's loading list, and then said in a deep voice.
Shen Rui was slightly stunned, to a certain extent, the Sturgeon and the Seahorse are very similar, both are non-military purposes, professional deep-diving vessels, and the depth of the dive is as much as two thousand meters, but the Sturgeon is larger and has a wider range of functions.
After all, the Sturgeon is a deep-sea rescue submarine, specializing in salvaging sunken ships or dealing with submarine accidents, while the Seahorse is only a scientific expedition.
Shen Rui lit a cigarette and said lightly: "The other party also has a submarine, it seems that they also plan to go directly under the sea." ”
"Perhaps." Ye Wuxian took a bite of white chocolate and said.
At this moment, Lao Pan suddenly turned his head and shouted in the cockpit.
"Shen Rui, no trace, come and see! The sea is foggy! ”
