The reason why Ao Tang did not stay in the waters near Yashan to absorb dragon qi was that he was afraid of being hit by his own submarine, and in any case, he couldn't do anything to kill his own submarine, so he simply came to the deep sea and ocean, crossed the nine-dash line to the east, and arrived at the Balintang Strait.

The average depth of this strait is more than 500 meters, the depth is more than 2,000 meters, and if you go to the Bass Strait a little north, the maximum depth can reach more than 5,000 meters. However, Ao Tang didn't bother to go to the Bass Strait, so he randomly found a position more than 1,000 meters deep in Balintang, and sat there to absorb dragon qi.

In Ao Tang's mind, he had already left the Chinese waters anyway, and he didn't think he would collide with a Chinese submarine, and he knew that ordinary submarines could only dive three or five hundred meters, but now that he was more than a thousand meters deep, he thought it would be foolproof.

Although it is true that most submarines can only dive three to five hundred meters, the depth of the dive does not represent the detection depth and attack depth of the submarine, and relying on active sonar is enough to detect several kilometers or even tens of kilometers.

Both sides discovered each other almost simultaneously.

This submarine of the US Navy is the Virginia-class nuclear submarine USS Hawaii, which is an attack nuclear submarine, not a strategic nuclear submarine.

According to the sonar feedback, the computer quickly calculated the bearing, distance, and the general shape of the target, and the American soldiers couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "What is this?" Sea monster? Unknown creatures? Could it be related to the mutant whale disaster? God, Almighty as you are, why let these monsters appear? ”

The detected Ao Tang is in the form of a red dragon, and after absorbing the remnants of the dragon qi of Song Taizu contained in the "Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty", its body size has expanded from the previous fifteen or sixteen meters to more than twenty meters, although it is not as good as the blue whale, but it is already a real behemoth.

The sonar feedback was not advanced enough to get the full shape of the red dragon all at once, and only a brief back was depicted on the computer screen. The U.S. Navy is not an animal expert, but with the outbreak of the whale disaster, navies around the world have made up a whale class, and they have learned the shape, surname, and characteristics of various whales. Several U.S. military officers quickly reached a consensus, this back is definitely not like a whale, there is a whale disaster ahead, the U.S. military is full of vigilance against this unknown giant marine animal, and the captain Kameni immediately ordered: "Advance to the target and map its complete form; The torpedo enters the attack parameters and is ready for launch. ”

The U.S. torpedoes are not specifically aimed at animals, and even because they are too advanced, they are not easy to use to hit animals, but after the outbreak of the whale disaster, the U.S. military has adjusted some of the torpedoes in order to hunt down the 17 mutant whales.

"Captain." Master Chief reminded, "In case of new revenge like a whale plague......"

Several non-commissioned officers next to him also looked at the captain, it was the US military stationed in the Philippines that attacked the whale school, which caused the whale to report back to the United States. The people in China have begun to create public opinion to exert pressure to hold the commander of the US military in the Philippines accountable.

Kameni said: "America has nothing to fear. Waving his arms again, he emphasized, "We will be victorious and crush all enemies who dare to provoke America." ”

At this time, Ao Tang had also discovered the submarine, and the sonar caused a huge ocean noise, which was irritating, and the inaudible ultrasound caused some slight damage to him. Although with the current strength of the red dragon's body, it is nothing more than breaking some capillaries, and the injuries are negligible, but seeing that it is about to evolve, it is interrupted, how can Ao Tang not be angry?

However, Ao Tang did not vent his anger immediately, but immediately went to see the Song Huizong Destiny Treasure in the dragon's claws, although he didn't know what sonar was, he had already vaguely understood that he had been attacked by ultrasound.

Ao Tang had heard of what ultrasonic lithotripsy was in the hospital, and of course he had to worry about whether the jade seal would be broken? In fact, he was purely blindly worried, ultrasonic shattering glass is easy, but shattering stone requires certain conditions.

The jade seal was intact, Ao Tang sensed that there was still dragon qi inside, and couldn't help but put his mind at ease, carefully received the woven bag, and glanced back at the submarine, in fact, the distance between him and the submarine was still very far, but the dragon king's vision in the water was also vast enough. What Ao Tang saw was a large submarine more than 110 meters long and more than 10 meters wide, with a rough calculation of the volume and a displacement of about 7,800 tons. It's a pity that he doesn't understand submarines, so he can't recognize what type of submarine this is, and he doesn't even recognize which country's navy submarine this is, and it's not like surface warships that always fly the national flag.

Although this is not China's waters, and it is said that the surname of Chinese submarines is not high, Ao Tang also knows that China's national strength has gradually begun to step out, even if it is only a small step.

It's a pity that Mi Lu is not there, otherwise he can ask, and now, Ao Tang can only think wildly, and even guess whether this submarine has a nuclear bomb and whether it will be launched? But although he didn't understand, Ao Tang also knew that he shouldn't continue to stay in front of or directly under the submarine.

The red dragon swam, and instead of fleeing, circled around the submarine.

"So fast!"

"Oh my God, it's in the bottom left."

"Oh, it's running down to the right. Damn, it's coming at us. ”

"Calculate speed, bearing."

"The speed is ...... 40 knots! ”

40 knots in the sea is equivalent to a speed of 74 kilometers per hour, which is not the maximum speed of Ao Tang at all, before swimming nearly 3,000 kilometers from Shencheng to Palau, Chilong only took more than five hours, which is converted to almost 300 knots, which is an incredible and terrifying speed for human ships. But Ao Tang never regarded the ships in the water as the object of speed comparison, he just wanted to compare with the planes in the sky, the dragon is not only the king of the water, but can soar in the sky, although he doesn't know how to fly now.

The reason why he only swam at a speed of 40 knots was because he found that this speed had greatly exceeded the speed of the submarine, and he had not yet recognized which country's submarine it was, and it would be difficult to start if it was a domestic submarine, but he didn't want to expose his too terrifying speed in front of his own submarine.

"Hmph, there's no fuss, it's not as fast as our torpedoes."

The Hawaii's ultimate speed was 34 knots, and Kameni watched the light point on the screen approaching, and without the slightest fear, he did not hesitate to order the attack. There are only two means of attack for the Hawaii, and there is only one that can be used at this moment: torpedoes. The US officers and men continued to calculate the parameters, and finally launched two MK48 torpedoes (a modified version of the whale) in a short pause in Ao Tang.

This torpedo weighs 1.5 tons and has a warhead of 300 kilograms, which is enough to destroy a large warship with one shot, and it will be successful once it hits a whale or the unknown sea monster in front of it, and its speed of 55 knots is enough to deal with the 40 knots of the unknown sea monster.

This is the thinking of all the American officers and men on the Hawaii, even if the American military has not actually killed or injured any of the seventeen mutant whales since the outbreak of the whale disaster, but that is because the mutant whales are too cunning to never fight them head-on. In the past month or so, those whales have also encountered the US Navy several times, but they immediately turned around and fled, diving straight into the deep sea, relying on their deep diving ability far superior to that of human submarines, and easily throwing off the US military. In the eyes of the US officers and men, the unknown giant animal in front of him did not flee and took the initiative to approach the nuclear submarine.

"Animals are just animals after all, and it seems that this unknown animal has not yet mutated enough intelligence, and is much more stupid than those seventeen whales." Kameni smiled at the non-commissioned officer beside him, "After the killing, we have to find a way to salvage them, maybe so that scientists can study the reason for the mutation of these giant sea animals." ”

But before he finished speaking, the non-commissioned officer next to him had already pointed to the point of light on the computer screen that represented Ao Tang and shouted: "Captain, the target has accelerated!" ”

Ao Tang instantly accelerated to 60 knots and circled in the sea. Although the Mk48 torpedo has many advanced functions, it can only chase after it in vain, and it pulls farther and farther, and after a few large circles, the torpedo reaches the limit of its range and automatically explodes.

Kameni's face was gloomy, but he did not lose confidence and ordered: "Continue to prepare torpedoes." Float to contact the base and ask for anti-submarine aircraft support. ”

Watching the point of light on the screen approach the Hawaii again, Kameni was already thinking about how to set up an ambush to kill the monster. The torpedoes equipped with anti-submarine aircraft have also been adjusted, although the monster shows faster speed than the torpedo, but as long as it is cleverly arranged, the submarine and the anti-submarine aircraft attack from multiple angles and block the path of the monster, and the monster will definitely be destroyed.

Ao Tang had already approached the submarine, avoiding what might have been a torpedo tube or what appeared to be a missile launch port, and looked around the submarine, and finally found the submarine's port number: SSN-776. But Ao Tang is not a military fan, let alone a naval fan submarine fan, just knowing the number, I still can't guess which country's submarine this is, and I don't even know that the SSN in front of 776 is the meaning of an attack nuclear submarine, although his English is good, but he can't guess any abbreviation.

The red dragon of more than 20 meters was lying on the submarine of more than 110 meters, Ao Tang began to think about it, thinking of what several [***] ships that he had seen in the news participated in the escort in the Gulf of Aden, and the number seemed to be three-digit, what destroyer started with 1, frigate started with 5, supply ship started with 8, could it be that the Chinese submarine started with 7? But as far as he knows, the Chinese Navy has always focused on defense and generally does not fire the first shot, but this 776 took the initiative to fire a torpedo to hit him, and the style does not seem to be very similar.

Just thinking about it, 776 began to float quickly, and Ao Tang didn't bother to care about it, seeing that it was about to reach the surface, he turned over and dodged under the submarine, with the length and width of 776 enough to cover his red dragon, which was not fat.

Ao Tang has the heart to see what the submarine is going to do, it is better to open the hatch and risk a few people to come out, if it is a Chinese, he will immediately flash people, if it is a foreigner, he will not be polite, who let them disturb his evolution, if they do something wrong, they should be punished!
