Chapter 43 Torpedo tubes out of the cabin

The area inside the 401 boat, which had just eased a little, became solemn again. Everyone frowned, and Captain Wang also had a feeling of being a husky of his own.

In general, there are not many cases in which the tail rotor of a submarine becomes entangled.

After leaving the edge of land, there are very few aquatic plants in the deep-sea area where the submarine is generally active, and there are aquatic plants that can grow particularly long and wrap around the tail rotor. And items such as fishing nets, if they are in the open sea fishing area, then the fishing boats on the sea will be detected by sonar very early.

In addition, ordinary aquatic plants or fishing nets can also be cut by high-speed propellers, and it is difficult to effectively entangle them. But if it gets entangled, the submarine must stop immediately. Otherwise, it is easy to injure the propeller and even lead to engine failure.

"." Captain Wang slapped his thigh hard.

"Alright, Wang. At this point, finding a way to remove obstacles is the first priority. ”

Political Commissar Lin comforted on the side. Even if the current results show that his current worries are correct, but which is right and which is wrong is not the top priority now, and the priority is very clear in Commissar Lin's heart.

"Or if we ran too close, it's all my fault. If the propeller has this kind of problem, it can only be manually removed. Sonar room, it's up to your ears now. Listen closely to your surroundings. ”

Captain Wang regretted his rashness in his heart. The rush of submarines into the near sea is itself a big taboo. In addition to losing the depth advantage due to the shallower water depth, the fishing area and the aquatic plants on the seabed extremely close to the bottom of the submarine can bring additional risks to the submarine's navigation.

"What are you going to do? No, you can't float!! Lao Wang, don't you understand where you are now? ”

When Political Commissar Lin heard Captain Wang's words, he immediately understood what he was going to do. This Wang Changming, was his brain kicked by a donkey? If discovered, the already tense situation is likely to ignite. The peace situation that was finally reached since 95 will also be ruined, not to mention that Wang Changming and Lin Zhen, and even Commander Chen of the Southeast Fleet cannot afford this responsibility.

"Lao Lin, I know. I was wrong about it. But now, if we don't send the crew out of the cabin, we're just lying here all the time? When we finished our homework, we immediately went down urgently, and we had to gamble. ”

Captain Wang's tone was full of helplessness, he didn't understand in his heart. But compared with the possible risks in the future, it is even more inappropriate to let the 401 boat lie here all the time.

"Captain, I have a way, I don't have to float, and the crew gets out of the cabin."

Chen Ming saw that the two fell silent, and immediately spoke.

"You're talking about getting out of the torpedo tubes. Someone once tried, the torpedo tube launched the person, the alveoli were pushed out, the blood vessels in the body were all burst, and the rescue could not be saved. ”

Captain Wang knew what Chen Ming said, and he had also heard that the submarine torpedo tubes of foreign armies could transport frogmen. But twenty years ago, they experimented, and at the cost of the life of a good diver, the project was immediately stopped, and the captain at that time was demoted.

Although Captain Wang was not convinced, he thought of the tragic situation of the diver, and then he never thought about this project again, until it was mentioned by Chen Ming.

"Yes, Captain Wang. I once read about it in a foreign language source. To get out of the torpedo tube, you can't rely on launching, but, crawl out. As long as you pay attention to the pressure change and slowly adapt to your body, it is actually very safe. ”

Chen Ming thought of the post he had seen on the Iron and Blood Forum in his previous life, and immediately pulled the tiger skin to make a coat.

"Climb out?! Climb out, climb out! yes, why didn't we think of it all along. Why do torpedo tubes have to be launched, people can climb out! ”

Wang Changming repeated two sentences of Chen Ming's words, and suddenly became enlightened. yes, why didn't they think of it after so many years. Patted Chen Ming excitedly.

"Good boy, you've got yours. Hurry up and prepare, you've done a great job this time! ”

"No, no. Lao Wang, in the wall of the torpedo tube, it is very crowded when one person stuffs it, and there is no point to borrow. How to climb out? ”

Political Commissar Lin agreed with Chen Ming's idea of finding a new way, thinking that the feasibility is indeed quite large. But with a cautious personality, he immediately thought about the points that might have been overlooked.

"Commissar Lin, please believe me. I can do this, I can definitely get out. ”

While answering Political Commissar Lin's words, Chen Ming supported the periscope with one hand and one handrail on the side with the other, making an alternate upward movement.

"Then I'll go and prepare first."

Looking at the brighter and brighter eyes of the two, Chen Ming immediately returned to the cabin and took off his training uniform.

According to the current situation, he will definitely not be able to return to the boat after he gets out of the cabin to deal with the danger. And this place is the closest to the opposite side, and the military uniform on the body must not be worn, otherwise it will be seen by the person opposite, and the hero will immediately become a sinner.

Fortunately, he set sail immediately before he had time to return to the crew dormitory after returning from Boning City, and the civilian clothes he bought were brought to the boat, otherwise he would have to run naked at this time.

After changing into civilian clothes, Chen Ming went to the equipment room next to the duty room to get a diving suit, scuba and a saber, but was told that the equipment had been taken to the torpedo compartment. Chen Ming immediately rushed to the front of the submarine again.

"Chen Ming, just now Political Commissar Lin and I ignored a problem. What are you going to do when you get out of the cabin? You can't get back into the boat. Captain Wang's face was a little ugly.

After the 401 boat came to the Southeast Fleet, it set sail twice, and there were fewer people on the boat on both occasions. This made Captain Wang feel very uncomfortable, and he felt guilty that he had not been able to bring his brother back.

"It's fine. When you're gone, I'll swim to the other side. Once ashore, I would contact the fleet and go home through the channel of the consulate. ”

Chen Ming thought about the follow-up question, it should be less than ten kilometers from the shore here. Although the physical exertion in the water and on land is incomparable, Chen Ming feels that he should be able to do it. What's more, if you can't do it yourself, the brothers' physical fitness will be even more unsupportable.

"Eh, that's called the Residency Office. How do you speak? ”

After listening to Chen Ming's words, Political Commissar Lin felt a lot more relieved. Hearing Chen Ming's words, he jokingly corrected his speech problem.

"Here, let's help you get fit." Captain Wang nodded and beckoned everyone.

Chen Ming did not refuse the kindness of his brothers. Looking at the faces of the brothers, he could feel that the brothers were a little embarrassed, especially Captain Wang.

When Chen Ming started to get on the boat, he looked down on this young man, and only regarded him as the second generation who came to the boat to be gilded. Later, Chen Ming not only managed his own work in an orderly manner, but also was humble and studious. Learn from the heads of departments, and even from non-commissioned officers. At this time, he already recognized in his heart this submarine recruit who did not have a college student shelf.

Now, when the 401 boat hits the puzzle. Being able to take the initiative and stand up bravely, he is both grateful and a little self-reproachful. In particular, this accident is largely the responsibility of him, the captain.

After changing into a wetsuit, put on the oxygen tank on your back. took the diving knife that Li Siming handed over at the end and inserted it into the sleeve on the outside of his thigh. The goggles rested on his forehead, and the scuba was on his neck.

Chen Ming, who was armed, watched his comrades in the torpedo cabin raise their arms and salute. Since this was the first time in 20 years that the torpedo tubes were removed from the cabin in China, the heads of various departments basically rushed to the small torpedo compartment except for the personnel on duty who were necessary.

"Chen Ming, the next step is up to you. Of the people present, only you have read foreign literature, so we laymen will not interfere. Give the order, please! ”

After returning the salute, Captain Wang said to Chen Ming.

"Yes! Comrade Captain! ”

"Open the back cover of the torpedo tube!"
