Chapter 25 (II) Depth Charges
After the dinghy left, Kim Yun-ho walked up to Zhan Tianya, asked him for a cigarette, and smoked it.
"You know what? I smoke and I don't smoke, I don't feel anything, I'm more monster than them. Kim Yunhao smoked his cigarette and took a puff, and then green smoke slowly came out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, which was very terrifying, and the faces of several soldiers around him changed, and they subconsciously turned their heads to the side, pretending not to see anything.
"You have no feelings, I still have some feelings left, what should I do? I don't think I'm still a good fit for the combined column. Zhan Tianya said coldly.
At this time, Jin Yunhao suddenly pulled Zhan Tianya to his side, with a smile, but said in a gloomy tone: "Do you think that if the committee wants to elect you as member C, I can't kill you?" β
"You can." Zhan Tianya put down his hand, "You can kill me at any time, I know, but you also have to know that I have never been afraid of death, only afraid of killing me, and what I lost was the strength of the committee." β
"Just kidding! Just kidding. Jin Yunhao let go of Zhan Tianya and patted his chest, "I'm sorry, Commissioner C, you remember to say something nice about me in front of the committee, otherwise I may die again, and whether I can be resurrected or not depends on the decision of the committee." β
Zhan Tianya turned his head to look at Jin Yunhao, and found that Jin Yunhao's expression was very strange at this time, laughing for a while, sad for a while, and crying for a while, changing repeatedly, just like his face was a pile of mud that was rubbed around at any time.
β¦β¦
The armed dinghy had approached the two converted fishing boats that had been docked at the intended location, and the fishing boats were side by side. There is a gap of nearly twenty meters left in the middle, and between the gaps has been set up the fixed jet track that Kim Yunhao said, and the orbital bracket is fixed on top of the two fishing boats, which looks similar to the bracket for launching rockets, but the scale is smaller, and at the upper end of the track, there is a huge copper plate lifted up.
The helicopter with the dive pod was slowly placing the dive pod on the track according to the instructions of the soldiers on board, and as it was hoisted down, the soldiers on either side controlled the mechanical arms on the fishing boat. Secure the orientation of the dive chamber. Slowly tucked it into the track, then unfastened the safety buckle and released the tightrope.
The helicopter turned around and left, when Tang Shuxing and the others climbed onto the fishing boat. Another larger transport helicopter flew over with a cylinder about the size of the submersible chamber. Same as before. It is placed in orbit and placed in the tail of the submersible module.
"That's a fuel pusher, it's dangerous. And it will explode! The captain of the butcher squad stared at the thing and smiled, "Do you know how it works?" The tail of the thruster is fuel, and the position close to the diving chamber is high explosive, which first uses the track and impact force to catapult us into the water, and when the fastest speed is reached, the thruster is started to speed up our dive, and then waiting for the moment when we are blocked by deep water pressure and resistance, the high explosive will start on its own, and use the explosive force to completely send us to the predetermined depth, and then, the drill bit at the front end will start working, drilling and fixing directly to the bottom of the water, and then it will be our business. β
The four of them just watched, unable to imagine how this thing worked, it sounded very unreliable.
"Unfortunately, we didn't have time to implement the safety and reliability of this thing, so this time it was both a real battle and a simulation." The captain smiled, "So, you'd better all leave a suicide note, I guess the probability of us coming back alive is very low, I think it's a beautiful suicide." β
Tang Shuxing couldn't understand who this team was, and these guys seemed to treat death as a game.
Hoisting, placement, final inspection...... The soldiers on the fishing boat were busy for a long time, and finally the fishing boat issued an earth-shattering alarm, and all the helicopters and boats around it were withdrawn, and the soldiers of the butcher squad also dodged to the side, all looking at Tang Shuxing and the others, and these strong men with shaved heads motioned for them to enter the diving cabin first.
"I can't imagine what it will be like to go inside." Tang Shuxing stepped forward slowly, and the working soldiers waiting in front of him urged him impatiently, and he had to speed up his pace.
Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng remained surprisingly quiet, followed behind Tang Shuxing, and entered the open diving cabin from the passage.
The cabin was rough, like a pile of scrap metal, full of the atmosphere of the early industrial age, a total of fifteen fixing frames, and the soldiers outside instructed them to change into the diving suits next to them, and climbed in to help them tighten, and told them how to use it, and the butcher team would inform them about how to use it, and then help them fix their bodies.
The members of the butcher squad began to rush in, very casually looking for a fixture, and then helped their companions put on the huge diving suits, and then the working soldiers came in to check them one by one, and then left, sealing the door.
"Check the com, one-two-three!" Captain Butcher began to say into the intercom, "The intercom is continuous, everyone can speak as much as they want, if you have anything, you can still say it now, but it's better not to fart, because the thing you are wearing is sealed, I heard that in deep water, farting will kill you, hahaha!" β
Then, the four of Tang Shuxing heard bursts of laughter from the intercom, the soldiers of the butcher squad began to speak foul language, and some people began to sing, all of them were checking the communication.
"That's it! Now let me explain how you use this so-called wetsuit. After the butcher captain finished speaking, he sighed, "First of all, this thing is different from an ordinary diving suit, listen to the officials above, what kind of bullshit spacesuit is it from, whether it's true or not, anyway, this thing is the only thing that can save our lives after we leave this bullshit diving capsule, of course some people want to die early, I have no opinion." β
There was another burst of foul speech and laughter on the intercom.
"The reason why this suit is so big is because there is enough oxygen, enough for a person to breathe normally for three hours, and if you breathe rapidly, it is only enough for two hours, so remember to calm your mind! Remember the training that used to be! Captain Butcher suddenly stood up, "I've been with you for many years. Single-handedly turned you from a waste into a tool that can barely be used now, you not only belong to the motherland, but also belong to Lao Tzu, so Lao Tzu does not allow his own things to be damaged at will, and I will save my life! Do you understand? β
"Yes!" All the soldiers changed their previous attitudes and replied sternly in unison.
"Under your wrists, there are two buttons that need to be pressed with a lot of force to activate, and the left side with the letter A on the top is the pressure relieve, and B is the high pressure reduce. After we leave the cabin. You need to press the A button first, otherwise you may be squashed instantly, but this slowdown is time-limited, up to twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later. Need to press the B button! The captain added. At the same time, I looked at the countdown timer next to me, and there were less than five minutes left before the dive, "But after pressing the B button." There is only five minutes to maintain, and whether or not everyone walks back to the dive chamber or enters the below, they will die if they stay in the deep water, because the clothes will break after time! That's the only thing I want to sue you, understand? β
"Yes! Sir! All the soldiers replied.
"Alright, let's wait for the dive, there are still ......," the captain laughed again, "There are four main forces here, and they are also our commanders, respect them and keep them safe, but if they do anything to any of you, you can always fight back and kill them." β
When he said the words "kill them", the captain's voice became very weird, and at the same time he let out excited laughter, and the other soldiers did not cater to it, but turned their heads to look at Tang Shuxing and the other four people who were fixed in the center of the cabin, and they could see that their hearts were furious.
There were finally 10 seconds left in the countdown, and everyone was waiting, even in this extremely low temperature diving cabin, everyone was still covered in cold sweat, and everyone began to be scared when it was about to dive time.
Eventually, the number changed from "3" to "2" and finally to "0", and then the dive module began to vibrate, and the huge vibration made the whole dive cabin make a strange sound, as if it was about to fall apart.
"!" Tang Shuxing couldn't help but say.
"Better shut up! Be careful to bite your tongue! The captain cursed, and as soon as he finished speaking, the submersible module sprayed down from the orbit towards the water.
At the moment when the dive cabin touched the surface of the water, everyone had a feeling that their legs stepped on something soft, their bodies pulled upward, and they were suddenly dragged into it by something underwater, and then a feeling of lightheadedness swept through the body, and an unknown force began to swim all over the body, and the internal organs seemed to be crushed and then spun desperately in the abdomen.
Just as this feeling suddenly waned, they heard a loud roar of the thruster from the top, and after a few seconds, the feeling returned, this time everyone grabbed the handles around them, and clearly felt the dive module rushing downward, and in a rotating way.
In an instant, everyone closed their eyes, feeling that the world was spinning, and they were nauseous, and they all used their willpower to endure themselves not to vomit, otherwise, all the vomit was mixed in the helmet, as long as it was revealed, at this depth, even if it was protected by the diving capsule, it would be congested all over the body, and eventually die.
"Five, four, three, two, oneβ" the captain laughed himself, "come on, baby!" β
At the moment when the rotating diving module reached a rapid speed, the captain pressed the huge button next to it, and the button was connected to the high explosive charge in the pusher, and the explosive exploded instantly after the ignition, and exploded in its tail, but because of the relationship between the high protective armor around the pusher, the power of the explosion was concentrated in the weakest position of the tail, and immediately accelerated the speed of the diving module downward.
Everyone had an out-of-body feeling at this time, and the nausea was finally avoided, but in exchange for complete dizziness, some soldiers had already rolled their eyes and fainted directly in their helmets.
No one could speak, and a few people remained awake until they felt the entire dive capsule touching the bottom of the water, and then the drill bit at the bottom began to desperately drill the hole, and the dive capsule also stopped rotating because of the reversal, and returned to its earliest appearance.
"It seems that God is not asleep today and has always been on our side! Hey! The captain finally smiled and said, "Everyone, unlock your own safety locks, it's time for us to get to work!" (To be continued......)
