Dongjiang City is quiet at night.

Except for the lighting of the lamp, people are asleep in their dreams.

Even those who live by the sea sleep soundly listening to the slightly rippling sound of the waves.

And inside the 372 boat under the ocean, a life-and-death commotion is being experienced.

The battle alarm woke the sleeping crew, and everyone returned to their seats.

Captain Liu's order did not change anything, and the submarine was still falling deep.

Everyone who had just woken up could hear the "clang" sound of the submarine's hull being squeezed. In a claustrophobic and cramped environment, this voice is a chant from death.

Chen Ming also heard it in the main engine cabin, but he didn't have time to distract him from it.

Shortly after the fall, a pipe in the main engine compartment suddenly ruptured. The sea water flew out, and Chen Zujun, who had no time to dodge, was suddenly washed and fell on the wall of the boat behind.

Seeing that Li Siming had gone to help his comrades, Chen Ming quickly ran to the side of the intercom to report the situation to the command cabin.

"Report to the captain, the main engine room pipe is broken and flooded!"

Worse!

Hearing Chen Ming's voice on the radio, Liu Tao's face changed.

"Damage Management Alert!"

"Gas supply to all tanks!"

The reflexive words blurted out, and there was no time for him to hesitate at this time.

Hearing the captain's order, the crew turned on the emergency air supply valve next to them. Within ten seconds, all the air supply valves of the whole boat were opened.

"Sealing operations in each cabin!"

As soon as the emergency air supply valve in the main engine compartment was opened, Chen Ming's ears heard the captain's order.

His expression changed slightly.

At this time, the main engine compartment is filled with water mist, and the noise of the main motor that starts is humming. The water under your feet is almost ankle-high.

It is imperative to seal the cabin, but once the leak is plugged, it fails.

Chen Ming, Li Siming and Chen Zujun will have no chance of survival.

But at this time no one would blame the captain for his coldness. In the face of great difficulties, all actions are focused on preserving the general situation.

Chen Ming was closest to the hatch at this time, and saw that Li Siming was quickly turning off the main motor, and Chen Zujun was trying his best to get close to the bursting pipe, but was swept away by the huge water pressure again and again.

Sacrifice is sacrifice, eighteen years later, he is still a good man.

Wading through the water in the cabin, Chen Ming pulled through the thick watertight hatch and closed it. Turn the valve quickly round and round until you hit it.

The hatch is closed.

Suddenly it went dark. In an instant, the faint light of the emergency lights lit up.

Li Siming finally turned off the main motor at this time.

Attaboy! Listen to the sound of turbulent water in your ears and look at the mist that fills the gloomy cabin. Chen Ming suddenly pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, they are all the best submariners.

There is no fear in the face of great calamity. Use your own profession and your life to fight for a way to live.

Once the cabin is flooded, especially the main engine compartment. Shutting down the main motor is a much higher priority than the others. Because once the circuit encounters water and causes a short circuit and fires, it is really hopeless.

Chen Ming groped his way to Chen Zujun's side, pulled him up, and yelled in his ear.

"Don't worry about plugging the leak just yet. First, close the watertight valve and establish a chamber air supply. ”

After speaking, it doesn't matter whether Chen Zujun heard it or not. groped all the way, according to the damage management operation method that Li Siming once handed over to him.

Stumbling to close the gate valves one by one. He also doesn't remember how much he turned it off, only that Li Siming joined him after turning off other devices.

He didn't know until he was almost out of breath when he was washed away by a high-pressure gas. I've done the job myself.

The chamber counterpressure was established, and the water ingress of the broken pipe slowed down slightly.

There was no time to rest, and the two quickly ran to Chen Zujun's side, and the three of them rushed up to close the broken pipeline valve under pressure.

The water ingress finally stopped.

"Lao Chen, we succeeded."

Chen Ming happily patted Chen Zujun and Li Siming on the back and said.

Start with a moist sheet.

Chen Ming didn't care, the water in the cabin had already reached his knees, and the three of them were already soaked.

It's just that Chen Zujun snorted with Chen Ming's slap.

"You hurt Lao Chen?"

Without waiting for Chen Zujun to answer, the three of them felt that the depth of the submarine seemed to have stopped.

One second, two seconds.

It must be raised.

Several people held their breath and stared, shouting silently in their hearts.

Although they couldn't see the depth gauge in the main engine room, after falling for so long, the depth felt like it wouldn't be low at this time. If you stay at this depth for a long time, the submarine will also be at risk of disintegration.

Especially now that the main engine compartment is flooded, it is impossible to turn on the motor to power the submarine and break out of the cliff.

Finally, when they counted 12 seconds, the submarine began to rise.

It's getting faster and faster.

No cheers, no cheers.

Among the three people present, only Chen Ming was a newcomer to submarines, but he was also a person who had experienced almost a year of submarine life. He also knew from books the danger of a submarine floating too fast.

"Sonar reports the sea situation at any time."

"Don't stay, just float!"

"Pay attention to the floating stance!"

In the command compartment, the recovery of submarine lift was felt. Captain Liu immediately gave follow-up instructions, and he did not hesitate.

He didn't know what the sea was like right now, and he didn't have time to think about it.

If the submarine floats too fast, if there is a ship on the surface, it will be like a dagger crashing into the bottom of the cabin; And if the attitude out of the water is not well controlled, the submarine may be in danger of capsizing, or after jumping, it will fall on the water and cause the hull to rupture.

A swarthy behemoth suddenly emerged from the calm sea.

The bow is the first to emerge from the water and reach into the air.

Wobbly up to more than 20 degrees.

At this time, Chen Ming and the three of them in the main engine cabin were falling together like arhats. You don't have to think about it to know that the rest of the cabins must be a mess.

"Bang~"

Another violent tremor came. The bow slammed into the sea.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Half a minute later, the submarine was still stable.

The group finally looked at each other and laughed.

There is not much time left for the joy of these officers and soldiers who have survived the catastrophe. After the submarine surfaced, they also needed to drain the water and urgently repair the equipment.

"Lao Chen, you are injured and go rest. We'll do the rest. ”

The hatch was opened, and the light on the oncoming flashlight followed. Chen Ming said after seeing the hideous wound on Chen Zujun's back.

Ignoring the approval of the visitor and Li Siming, Chen Zujun said that he was suffering from skin injuries, and he was willing to rest only after the 372 boat was really safe.

Seeing that the dissuasion was fruitless, Chen Ming had no choice but to follow Li Siming, and under the guidance of Li Siming, the rescue work of the 372 boat was carried out.

It wasn't until three days later that Chen Ming's eyes were blurred and covered in oil.

After finishing the work, I looked at the comrades-in-arms who were lying in a random corner of the boat. He laughed, laughed and laughed and cried.

Then it was dark in front of him, and he also fell.
