Chapter 50: Buying Life Money (Part II)
"I still have 37 million dollars in my account, since the Shi Shaoying brothers dare to break the boat, and the 'Odin' pirate group is so supportive, how can I York have to slap my swollen face and fill the fat man." York said lightly: "Put all the money in my account into the gambling game together, and the young eagle can lead the team to leave alive." ”
Speaking of this, York sighed bitterly, "Thirty-six times the odds, if I secretly release the water so that Shi Shaoying and them can escape smoothly, this is thirty-seven million times thirty-six, ha, that is, three hundred and thirty-two million dollars." If I really get this money, my 'golden brain' York, I can retire early and live a happy life without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of my life. What a trouble, you say, should I release the water or not? Anyway, I really like Shi Shaoying, right! ”
York's voice was not loud, but at this time, he had become one of the protagonists of this incident, I don't know how many people were observing his every move through various channels, and every word he said was translated into language through lip shapes and quickly reported to his superiors.
"Heard" York's self-talk, and everyone was in an uproar.
Yorke had already smiled, put aside all his worries, and ordered the work assistant: "This headache should be left to the 'Odin' pirate group to consider, and transfer the bet immediately." ”
Half a minute later, the "Golden Brain" York made a huge bet of $37 million and smashed it into the first option, the young VIP customers were still amazed, but the older generation of VIP customers collectively lost their voices in an instant.
Three seven million dollars on the bet, thirty-six times the odds.
No organization can afford to remain indifferent, and they must consider whether they can afford to pay billions of dollars in bets once this seemingly impossible option becomes a reality. The most disturbing thing is that the "golden brain" York is not only the biggest bettor, but also the commander of the organizing committee of the competition.
If you want to avoid this from happening, the only way for the "Odin" pirate group is to secretly take action and turn the 1 in 10,000 possibility that Shi Shaoying still exists into a desperate zero!
The "Odin" pirate group wanted to fish in troubled waters, and York, known as the "golden brain", hit a backhand that was enough to shake the foundation of the "Odin" pirate group, so that they could not eat and walk around. Let the "Odin" pirate group understand the truth that "money, sometimes too much will burn people".
"Tick...... Backbite...... Tick ......"
The terrible siren suddenly sounded in the command room of the "Queen Star" destroyer, and seeing the image transmitted back by the active sonar detection device, Pei Tongtong shouted loudly: "Anchor and stop the ship immediately!" ”
The destroyer "Queen Star", which was already ready to soar into the sky, stopped abruptly with Pei Tongtong's order.
On the originally calm and harmless sea, I don't know when there are more loads and floats with the waves, and if you don't look carefully, it's easy to ignore the mines in the past. As for how many mines are under the surface of the water that cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, no one knows, but everyone on the "Queen's Star" knows that they are in big trouble.
Pei Tongtong picked up the binoculars, carefully observed the sea area in front of them, and after about a minute, he walked back to the screen of the active sonar detector quickly, thinking about and reporting a set of names that made people's scalps tingle when they heard it: "MK60 'Catcher' self-guided mine, 'Storm' class remote-controlled mine, 'Stonefish' mine developed by the British Marconi Underwater Systems Company, and 'Sea Urchin' mine ......"
During the First and Second World Wars, the use of mines reached its peak, and more than 3,700 warships were blown up and sunk on the battlefield, even in the nineties of the last century, during the Gulf War, the multinational forces that armed themselves to the teeth with high-tech weapons were still damaged in the face of more than 1,200 mines laid on the sea by the Iraqi army, no matter how careful they were. It can be said that even in modern warfare, mines are an ancient and inexpensive weapon that is very effective.
Although the destroyer "Queen's Star" has mine-hunting weapons on board, the chances of a destroyer trying to break through the three-dimensional blockade of mines in a short period of time and escape are really pitiful. With the destructive power of modern mines, just one missed shot can destroy their ships and kill people.
"These mines are not the most troublesome problem."
Pei Tongtong reported even worse news: The mines I just reported have different ways of detonating, different ways of attacking targets, and different powers, but one thing is the same...... They can all be mined underwater by submarines. ”
Submarine!
Shi Shaoying's eyes widened sharply, the people of the organizing committee of the competition would never be unpredictable, and the sea near the port was full of mines to create trouble for themselves. The only possibility is that after they have seized the destroyer, and there is a real possibility that the destroyer will sail to the sea, the other side will react improvised.
can lay mines under their noses, until Pei Tongtong turns on the shipborne active sonar bathymetry equipment, the original form is revealed, and if you want to do this, of course, the other party uses submarines.
"The anti-sonar detection technology used by the other side is very advanced, even more advanced than the stealth technology of the submarines in service in developed countries in Europe. I suspect that the other side already has the 'zero wake' technology, and will no longer produce 'Bernoulli mound' and 'Kelvin wake', and if we fight each other, we will suffer a lot. ”
Seeing Shi Shaoying's confused face, in order to allow Shi Shaoying, the commander, to truly understand the grim situation they were facing, Pei Tongtong was anxious, and he had to force it down, and gave Shi Shaoying a simple explanation of intermediate naval combat knowledge as an instructor: "Once a submarine sailing underwater, once it starts to move, even if it is a thousand feet underwater, there will still be a protruding mound on the surface of the seawater. And sink the opponent by diving bombs, this kind of mound is called 'Bernoulli mound'; as for on the water, when any warship or submarine is sailing, it will produce a 'V' shaped wake at the tail of the ship, even if the warship has the strongest anti-radar stealth ability, it cannot hide the wake left on the sea, which is a flaw in the stealth of modern warships, and this kind of wake is called the 'Kelvin' wake. ”
During the Second World War, battleships that were tantamount to tanks at sea shelled each other, and the sailors of both sides desperately fired at each other to dump as many shells as possible, while trying their best to repair the battleships, depending on who was stronger-willed, sharper in artillery, and stronger in armor, who could win. This kind of "bayonet-fighting" naval warfare, with the increasing power of modern weapons, has long become a thing of the past. For example, the shipborne "Mojiri" missile of the "Queen's Star" destroyer can seriously damage the battleship with the thickest armor and the highest displacement during World War II with only one shot, and it may sink it with two shots.
The hardness of steel has been studied to the limit by human beings, and in the face of the fatal blow of the "Burning Sun" class ship-to-ship missiles, what active defensive armor is an unrealistic joke, unless human beings can really invent the laser shield device in science fiction movies, which can block the enemy missiles, otherwise in modern warfare, whoever discovers the opponent first and attacks first will often be able to win!
In order to improve the survivability of their own warships, countries around the world have given up research on hard armor protection, and while they are trying to improve the medium and short-range fire defense system, they expect to intercept all the missiles fired by the enemy with the most intensive close-in defense weapons, and on the other hand, they are desperately studying stealth technology.
In modern warfare, if the submarine really has a way to overcome the "V" wake and the "Bernoulli mound", then it is tantamount to completely invisible in the enemy's radar and becomes the most terrible assassin in the sea! Because it doesn't wake up until it launches a deadly attack on an enemy ship!
Pei Tongtong stretched out his hand and tapped a few positions on the screen: "Although they have the most advanced stealth technology, after all, they have to complete the laying of mines in a short time, and it is impossible not to leave traces, I can already roughly calculate their current location." ”
It is Shi Shaoying's luck to have such a vice captain, but the reality is too cruel, and Shi Shaoying can't be happy: "They? Do you mean that there is more than just a submarine lurking in front of us?! ”
"Yes."
Pei Tongtong said in a low voice: "We are surrounded by three submarines with the most advanced underwater stealth technology in a fan shape, and from the perspective of combat power, the possibility of us driving a destroyer to break out of the encirclement is infinitely close to ...... Zero! ”
"Use the fire control radar to lock on to the rotating building on the island again!"
No one knows why Shi Shaoying suddenly wanted to aim at the island behind him at this time, could it be that he was forced to a dead end, and wanted to fight with York to break the net, and everyone broke up?
Looking at the island behind him in a blink of an eye, Shi Shaoying stretched out his tongue and licked his lips lightly, and resolutely ordered: "him and tell York, my Shi Shaoying is back again!" ”
Rumble!!!
A 130 mm artillery shell hit the island, blowing up a cloud of gunsmoke. Although its power is far from being comparable to that of the "Mojiri" class ship-to-ship missile, this cannon has made York's face change. (To be continued)
