The deep blue sea of the Pacific Ocean is choppy, undulating!

The "Haikou" missile destroyer, launched on April 29, 2003, can be described as an upstart among the large surface ships of the Chinese Navy, with a full load displacement of 6,000 tons and a maximum speed of 33 knots, and its four large fixed phase array radars can track 120 targets at the same time, and automatically select the 10 most threatening targets to attack at the same time according to the data chain.

Lieutenant Hu Xu, the midshipman gunner, was seriously violating the regulations at the moment, and was operating on the outer deck of non-combat personnel when the warship was moving at the first combat speed.

Those who are familiar with ships are well aware of this common sense, and in the process of high-speed movement of warships, dangerous swells can even sweep over the bridge at a height of more than 20 meters.

Seemingly ordinary swells can easily roll more than 500 kilograms from the deck of a warship into the sea, and theoretically most of the bones of the human body can only withstand a maximum of 490 pounds of pressure.

Hu Xu, who was born in a naval family, has loved the sea since he was a child, and he often compares the sea to his lover, but he is only a single kid, so he can only be close to the sea when he is fine!

Hu Xu's biggest hobby is to stand on the deck of a high-speed warship and feel the enjoyment of riding the wind and waves.

Between his grandfather and his father, two generations have been in the navy, and they have witnessed the process of the Chinese navy growing from scratch and from weak step by step, otherwise Hu Xu would have been driven off the warship early in the morning and became a glorious shore crew.

As a graduate student majoring in naval artillery, Hu Xu's so-called work has been replaced by computer programs and data links, and there are only five people in the 100 mm caliber stealth main gun plus Hu Xu, three of whom are lieutenant mechanics and one is a non-commissioned officer in electrical professional maintenance technology, which makes him extremely annoyed that he does not enjoy the feeling of 'combat position' cannon.

In other words, there is really a legendary exchange of fire between the ships within visual range, and Hu Xu's task is to stay on the ammunition conveyor belt under the turret to check the delivery situation, and the command staff to eliminate mechanical failures that may occur at any time, and that's it.

"A hundred-year-old navy!" Hu Xu muttered this mantra that he sighed at least a dozen times a day, then picked up a safety belt, looked around and secretly opened the wheel handle of the hatch, lit a cigarette first, and then strode out of the cabin against the oncoming hunting cold wind, after all, it was still early spring in March, and the very experienced Hu Xu did not plan to go far, so he hung a safety rope near the hatch!

"It's so comfortable!" The scorching cold wind blew Hu Xu's face red, and his hands were a little numb, but he didn't feel the so-called chill at all, maybe this was another embodiment of the spirit of the navy!

Hu Xu finished smoking a few puffs of cigarette and was about to untie the safety rope and return to the cabin, when suddenly, a high-brightness blue light unique to an arc flashed?

Hu Xu turned his head to look at the place where the blue light had just appeared, and as a huge wave had passed, Hu Xu was surprised to find that a control box on the base of the ship's 'Haihong-9' air defense missile vertical launch system might have been damaged by the swell due to the lack of locking, and several bare threads were swinging back and forth with blue sparks.

Hu Xu knew that the control box was the manually unlocked launcher of the 'Haihong-9' air defense missile, and the missile was in a locked state, and once a short circuit caused a misfiring was likely to cause the missile to explode in the vertical launch box, the consequences would be extremely unimaginable.

Hu Xu didn't think much about it, untied the safety rope and went straight to the locking switch, and at this moment the captain, political commissar and others on the bridge were also nervously watching the damaged manual switch in the monitor, although the maintenance personnel have been dispatched, but this critical juncture, a second late is likely to cause a major loss of national property, the sea is a precious asset of the navy and even the country, this is undoubted.

Cut off the power supply and lock the control box, Hu Xu quickly used the safety rope on his waist to tie up the damaged box cover, at this moment he was already wet by the big waves, and Hu Xu, whose lips were blue, knew that his body temperature was dropping rapidly, but he still insisted on tying the last slipknot.

Then Hu Xu showed a difficult smile to the emergency repair assault team that had been slowly moving along the deck safety cable, and a big wave hit in an instant, and Hu Xu, who had no safety rope, only felt that his body was light and unconscious!

Although the captain and political commissar standing in front of the monitor ordered the ship to slow down and make every effort to rescue, they all took off their military hats, in this low temperature environment, a normal person will die of cardiac paralysis due to rapid hypothermia after falling into the water for 30 seconds, and it is very dangerous to travel on side waves, even if it is an advanced destroyer like Haikou, and the hull capsize may occur at any time.

Whether it is the heart-rending shouts of his comrades-in-arms or the monstrous waves, Hu Xu can no longer hear or see, he seems to be dragged into an eternal black hole, Hu Xu's last thought is that death is like this.
