Quiet, lonely.

This is how Chen Ming felt lying in the torpedo tube.

Adjust your posture, press your feet on the back cover, and reach out to put on your goggles and scuba protection. Then, the wall of the torpedo tube was patted.

According to his previous instructions, after hearing him slap the wall of the torpedo tube, the torpedo squad leader will open the front cover of the torpedo tube. Start the timer with the front lid open, and start driving again half an hour later.

Originally, Captain Wang said for an hour, but Chen Ming felt that it was too long. The place of right and wrong should not be stayed for a long time, and it was forcibly changed to half an hour. It's all because of the current communication technology limitations, Chen Ming can't get in touch with the boat after leaving the cabin.

From the moment the front cover of the torpedo tube was opened, he needed to be on his own. But what's so scary about it?

Chen Ming's thoughts were flying at the moment, and he seemed to think of Captain Jiang and the suicide note.

As the front cover of the torpedo tube opened, the sea rushed in. A huge pressure hit Chen Ming hard. Grit your teeth and support the back cover with your legs to maintain your body balance.

After a while, the discomfort faded. But as if each cell on his body was carrying a bag of sandbags with a load, the whole person's movements became sluggish.

Slowly calmed down the fierce heartbeat. Chen Ming began to slowly crawl outward. Although I was prepared, inside the cramped torpedo tubes, there was a deep sea high pressure. The degree of physical energy consumption still made Chen Ming secretly frightened.

Four minutes later, Chen Ming got out of the torpedo tube. There was no rush to act, stayed outside the torpedo tubes, rested for ten seconds. Adjust to the external pressure, and by the way, relieve your physical strength.

Another four minutes later, Chen Ming swam to the tail of the submarine.

At the first glance of the propeller, Chen Ming felt that his dense fear was about to be committed. Bands of aquatic plants are wrapped around the submarine's propellers, and even sticking to the mud of the seabed underneath.

Haze anti-laser, kelp entangled submarine?

Chen Ming remembered the famous sentence of a certain person surnamed Zhang in his previous life. Tsk tsk, causal weapons, terrifying.

Shaking off the thoughts in his head, Chen Ming grabbed a plant that was floating in the seawater, and he couldn't tell whether it was kelp or seaweed, and dragged himself to the propeller.

Pull out the bayonet from the outside of your thigh and start your own cutting operation.

Time was urgent, Chen Ming touched the paddle blades and cut them piece by piece. After the partition was wound around the paddle, it was too late to clean it thoroughly. He now regrets that he had called for half an hour.

God knows how big the propeller of the submarine is!!

Practice brings true knowledge, and the ancients did not deceive me!

Another fifteen minutes had passed, and there were still seven minutes left before the 401 boat drove away. And the time really left for yourself is less than 5 minutes. If you haven't escaped from the propeller in the last two minutes, not to mention that you may be swept into the propeller and killed at the bottom of the sea, even this dense cut seaweed may be pushed by the current and entangle you.

Fortunately, there is only one last blade left, and there is time.

Finally, Chen Ming cut off the last seaweed that was wrapped around the paddle blades. It's too late, and there's no condition to take a closer look.

Visibility in the deep sea at 20 is very low, and even if you have a spotlight on your head, the visibility is no more than 1 meter.

Chen Ming immediately turned around and fled from the vicinity of the propeller quickly. Then, he turned around and watched quietly. I prayed in my heart that everything would go well.

Because, once there is something unexpected. Then you may have to be strong.

The only wetsuit in the boat was on him, and the only remedy in the event of no contact with the boat was to sacrifice himself.

Two minutes will be there quickly. Seeing that the propeller slowly began to rotate until it was getting faster and faster, Chen Ming's heart, which was hanging in the air, finally fell into his stomach.

Suspended in the seawater, Chen Ming looked at the direction in which the 401 boat quickly disappeared. It's also a little touched in my heart, and it's interesting to think about it, I was left out on two voyages. Although it is self-requested, individuals who are separated from the group often experience a feeling called loneliness in their hearts.

Fortunately, Chen Ming is still very self-conscious, and Chen Ming is happy to see the seagrass that is swept by the water pushed by the propeller and rippling in the seawater.

Turning around, he slowly floated up while humming "seaweed, seaweed, swaying in the wind" in his heart. After each ascent, hover for a while and wait for your body to adjust to the decompression environment.

This is a crucial point in the exit of the torpedo tubes. If it just rises directly and quickly, the pressure change is likely to cause the wall of the physical blood vessel to rupture. The death was too tragic.

Finally, Chen Ming came to the sea. Raising his head, he said hello to the sun that he had not seen for a long time, and after his eyes adjusted to the sun, he swam in the opposite direction of the departure of the 401 boat.

"Report to the captain, the re-start was successful. The power is normal! ”

"Yes."

Hearing the helmsman's report, Captain Wang's response was a little sluggish. Everyone present could understand the captain's feelings.

"Don't worry, Wang. Chen Ming will be fine, he has never let us down, has he? ”

Political Commissar Lin also sighed and comforted. He is very busy now, because there is more than one captain who needs to be comforted, and Li Siming, who has the best relationship with Chen Ming on the boat, also needs his attention.

Fortunately, both of them are old submariners, and their mentality adjusts quickly. The work of the 401 boat was not delayed.

Two days later, the 401 boat, which was sailing at full speed, finally returned to the territorial waters. The radio was turned on as soon as possible and the situation was reported to the base.

Lu Huaicheng, who received the report of the 401 boat in the base, suddenly felt a little twitch in his heart. When I was older, my blood pressure was a little high, so I quickly took two blood pressure pills. After his mood calmed down a little, he ordered the 401 boat to continue to complete his long-voyage training.

"Hey, Old Chen. You've heard about the 401 boat, right? ”

Lu Huaicheng picked up the phone on the table and called Commander Chen.

"I know about things, just received the report. Don't worry too much, I'll report back to the fleet. Let the fleet inform the people in the office and keep an eye on it. After discovering Chen Ming, I will send him back to you completely as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, good, then it's hard Commander Chen."

"You have to punish yourself three times for what you say. I know that your Lao Lu takes a fancy to Chen Ming, but isn't he my Chen's soldier? Is. Hung up. ”

Lu Huaicheng agreed to admit punishment with a smile and hung up the phone. The moment the phone was put down, the smile on his face disappeared.

Lu Huaicheng's secretary knew this was the result from the moment he heard the report.

The chief of staff's attention and concern for Chen Ming has exceeded the importance of a chief of staff to an excellent soldier or officer, but it is like his own son? Nephews.

He secretly wondered whether to persuade the chief of staff.

"Let's go, come with me to the Marine Corps to see how the cadet team is training."

Just when he was hesitating and tangled, Lu Huaicheng's words interrupted his thoughts. This chief of staff may spend more time at the grassroots level in a year than in the organs, and the secretary has long been familiar with handling these matters.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

Seeing the secretary turn to leave, Lu Huaicheng got up and walked to the window. looked at a phalanx outside the building that was singing "The Night of the Military Port", and was silent.
