Chapter 335: Emergency
"Master, we capture a nuclear submarine in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean, please instruct." At the same time, the voice of the origin resounded in Ye Fan's steel battle armor.
"Nuclear submarines? Ours or someone else's? If it's someone else, pull it out to the waters near Bermuda and disguise it as an accidental accident. Ye Fan also spoke casually at this time.
"Also, crack the communication key of that nuclear submarine and send a message to their high command, disguised as a normal voyage,
Go to Bermuda, and then what kind of torpedo fuel leak caused the accident, or some other accident, whatever you want. ”
"Okay master, I'll start doing it." Origin also agreed at this time.
At the same time, more than 1,000 nautical miles away in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, a group of underwater robots that received the Origin Order also pushed the Nautilus forward.
Because the propellers have been cut off like tofu, they can only be propelled by robots, and eight ion engines are glued to the rear to propel at full speed in a circle.
Inside the Nautilus, the command room and the major cabins have flashed red alarm lights, and the people inside the submarine are all in chaos.
"Captain, we can't launch a communication buoy at all, the launch port looks like it's blocked by something, and this can't happen at this depth."
"Report sir! I don't know what blocked the torpedo port, our damn torpedo can't be launched at all! ”
"Report sir! There is an unknown object installed on the shell of the submarine, and the pressure of the shell has soared at many points! ”
"Report sir! Our submarine has moved, and according to the database map, we are moving in the southeast direction of the Pacific Ocean! ”
"Can you get in touch with the outside world?" Wei Lun was also frowning at this time, and now the Nautilus's power system had failed.
Although the engine room reported that the horsepower was at its fullest, and he could even hear the roar of the engines coming from the engine room, their submarine could not move at all.
If they followed the currents, their submarine should have moved to the northeast of the Pacific Ocean, but now it is to the southwest, which means that there must be some external force guiding their submarine forward.
"Report sir, we can't get any effective contact with the outside world, and now we have a depth of 390 meters, and we need to rise at least 90 meters, and the conditions in the sea around here are very bad.
Even if you float up to 300 meters, you may not have any satellite signals, and you have to to rise to 250 meters to get in touch with the outside world. The correspondent turned his head and replied.
"Can you continue to float?" Wei Lun turned his head to look at the other subordinate, but the other party also looked embarrassed.
"Sir, we've drained all the water, but we still can't float a bit, the pressure on our submarine's hull has reached a critical value, so we have to start filling the water, otherwise we will be crushed by the water pressure."
When Veron heard this, his brows furrowed even more, and a thought deepened in his mind.
There is a good chance that this is a conspiracy against them!
"Report sir! Our sonar system is failing! It is not possible to get in touch with the outside world by emitting sonar of a specific frequency! At this time, the sonar officer also turned his head, pointed to the sonar display, and spoke.
"Damn, we're completely out of touch with the outside world! Without sonar, how do we know where this damn submarine is going to be taken, Tom,
I order you to take a team of damage control personnel, put on protective suits, and launch a small submarine out of the torpedo compartment, and I order you to find out what's going on outside! After Veron heard this, he couldn't calm down anymore, and immediately spoke.
You must know that if the submarine loses its sonar, it is completely blind in the night, and even the last distress signal cannot happen.
Generally speaking, if the submarine has an accident, it breaks down in the sea or for other reasons, either it floats up or drifts to the normal course with the current.
The active sonar system can then be used to emit sound waves of a specific frequency to make contact with ships from the outside world and send a distress signal.
But now they not only lost power, but also could not rise at all, and even according to the reports of their subordinates, their submarines did not know where they were being driven and could not get in touch with the outside world at all.
The desire to survive deepened in his mind, and all this profoundly told him that something must have happened in the outside world.
"Could all this have something to do with that unidentified underwater object traveling at 300 knots?" Deputy Captain David also touched his chin at this time and spoke.
"I think it's very likely, that thing came out of the South China Sea, maybe it's a conspiracy of the Huaxia people, David, come with me and enter the missile launch command room!" A glint flashed in Velen's eyes.
"Sir! We have not yet received an order from the Supreme Command! David was also dumbfounded at this time.
How could he not know what Velen was going to do.
In general, submarines are forbidden to communicate with the outside world. To receive information, they usually raise their antennas slightly below the surface of the water in order to receive satellite or radio signals.
But this contact must be kept to a minimum, as doing so increases the risk of the submarine being monitored. As a result, submariners must be trained to deal with a wide range of eventualities, such as loss of contact with headquarters, aircraft, or surface vessels, as well as an enemy attack.
On a Western ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the commander has authority "second only to God", and the commander of a missile nuclear submarine has much greater authority than the commander of a surface warship.
In the event of a critical moment for a submarine, the commander has the authority to make any decision, including launching a ballistic missile.
However, there is still a limitation, that is, if they have not received instructions from the outside world and have entered an emergency situation, the captain has the right to give the command to launch missiles.
And they receive instructions from the outside world every 15 days, which is the so-called "report safety", if they can receive a signal from the outside world and say that they are okay, then they will be fine.
If an emergency has entered and the outside world cannot be contacted, then the submarine commander has the right to believe that the outside world has been attacked and they must fight back.
It has been 7 days since they last received orders from the outside world, which means that in 8 days, Velen has the right to launch all ballistic missiles.
Unbeknownst to them, however, all conversations inside the submarine had been monitored.
