The Pitch Black Express Chapter 104: Aegis (3)
Xiaolan and Sonoko were about to ask when Conan had talked to Shinichi about these topics, but they were interrupted by a sudden strange sound, like the sound of using a super suction vacuum cleaner to suck up the carpet, and all the passengers in the cabin felt a little weird, especially Uncle Kogoro woke up from his drowsiness and bounced straight from his seat, "What's wrong?" What's going on!! ”
"Please keep calm, it's okay, the sound just now is the sound made when the injection and drainage device sucks in a large amount of seawater, it is a normal phenomenon, please don't panic." Mr. Inoue, who was in charge of explaining the precautions to everyone, explained loudly.
Conan's sudden occurrence saved Conan, but he was also lost in thought, 'Is it normal for the water to make that sound?' Conan put his cheek on one hand, his mind full of questions, and he was a little uninterested in continuing to listen to Mr. Inoue explain the precautions. Looking at his appearance, Kazama knew that this trip on the Aegis ship would definitely not be peaceful, but he didn't know who would be the victim of the case, and quietly looked around at the tourists in the cabin, Kazama stuck to Conan's head and lowered his voice, "Do you think there is something wrong with that voice too?" Conan, who was lost in thought, was startled by Kazama's sudden question, and hurriedly turned around, seeing that it was Kazama who relaxed again, and also lowered his voice, "Well, it's nothing, it's just that I haven't heard this kind of sound before." "No matter how advanced the injection and drainage device of this Aegis ship is, and how powerful the suction power is, the sound it makes should be similar to the sound of liquid flowing, but the sound just now seems to be like some large object being sucked in......" When Kazama said later, the word corpse naturally appeared in his mind, for the same reason, this is the world of "Detective Conan"! Isn't the most important thing around Conan to be murdered and corpses?
Mr. Inoue ended the explanation of precautions and led all the passengers in the cabin to the CIC of the Aegis ship, that is, the combat intelligence center, which is the heart of the warship's operations, where all the functions of the warship's air defense, anti-submarine, surface warfare, electronic warfare, and formation command are gathered together, which is the ruthlessness of the warship's operations, and is also the most intuitive embodiment of the warship's scientific and technological level and information level. "Passengers with children, please go forward and protect your children, this is the CIC of the Aegis ship, it is the heart of the entire warship, there is not much space here, please squeeze it a little, the exercise will start soon." ”
With the command of the captain in the bridge, the Aegis ship entered a state of anti-aircraft combat readiness, the alarm was sounded, the whole ship announced the broadcast, and all the crew members gathered and took their positions in their respective positions, ready to deal with the impending enemy. Looking at the sudden alarm sounded, Ayumi was a little scared, "Eh, will they call?" "Well, that's just the setting of the exercise, don't worry." Mitsuhiko, who loves warships, naturally figured out the whole process of this event a long time ago, and casually explained it to Ayumi.
"The second target is getting closer to the ...... of the ship"
"The ship judged that the second target had posed a threat......
"Prepare to attack immediately!" One by one, tactical orders were broadcast in an orderly manner, and every crew member stuck to his post and performed his mission brilliantly.
"Anti-Air Attack Coach, Request CIC Instructions ......"
The chief of the mine, who was sitting in the command seat, that is, the commander of the weapon control system, he was the highest commander in the CIC, took down the radio microphone and gave an order to the artillery fire department of the entire warship, "Single gun ready!" ”
"Roger, MK45 Mod4 ready to launch! Now start remote control of the second target ......"
"The target is already within range...... Ready......"
Hearing the feedback from his subordinates in the headset, the thunderbolt commander gave the order to attack, "Shoot!" ”
At the sound of an order, the crew member who was operating the MK45 Mod4 naval gun pressed the firing button, "Arrive at the target in 30 seconds!" At the same time, on the CIC screen, a red arrow was fired from the Aegis ship, which represented the 127mm naval gun shell fired by MK45 Mod4, and the target on the other side was represented by a green arrow, as the two arrows converged together, the green arrow disappeared after three fannings, which probably means that the enemy has been shot down, and sure enough, there is a voice report from the scene, "The second target, confirm the shot down." ”
After the same wave of operations, another arrow on the screen also disappeared, "First target, confirmed to shoot down." ”
"How? Is this shot down? Uncle Maori couldn't help asking, and Mr. Inoue on the side replied, "Yes, I managed to shoot down all the enemy attacks just now." The audience at the scene couldn't help but applaud when they heard this, although they knew that this was just a drill, and they could only look at the simulated picture on the screen, but it was rare enough to be able to get close to the CIC of the Aegis ship, after all, they were the first Japanese people to set foot in this place.
"Then this exercise will ......" Mr. Inoue is going to lead everyone to the next place to continue visiting, after all, there are too many military secrets in the CIC to be open to everyone for a long time.
At this time, there was a sudden change at the scene, "Tested to sonar reaction, nationality unknown!" Seeing this, the chief of the mine immediately gave an order, "α the target and start probing!" ”
"The other side is rapidly approaching the ...... of the ship."
"α target, azimuth 50 degrees, distance 8000 ......"
The situation is a little wrong, it stands to reason that there will not be any unknown targets in this exercise area, especially this is the coastal waters of Japan, why are there targets of unknown nationality, thinking of the unknown ship that appeared in Maizuru Bay in the morning, the atmosphere inside the CIC suddenly became tense, and the artillery tordo chief saw that the situation was already a little beyond his ability, turned on the communication equipment, and took the initiative to contact the captain of the Aegis ship, "This is the CIC, the α target has been detected, the azimuth is 50 degrees, and the distance is 8000 ......."
The captain in the bridge was also taken aback when he heard this, "I didn't expect this to happen." Picked up the hanging communicator and began to give orders to the entire crew, "This is Captain Tateishi, turn on all the radars, start searching for the enemy, I will go to the CIC ......" Hooking the communicator back, the captain walked towards the door of the bridge, "I am going to the CIC, from now on, the bridge will be under the command of the deputy captain." ”
The crew at the scene of "α target, 50 degrees in azimuth, 7,500 ...... in distance" became extremely careful and serious, completely different from the exercise just now.
"Understand that you are prepared for the possibility of a temporary shift in gearing for the target......"
"Prevent the target from launching an attack ......"
"The possibility of living things, natural objects is zero......"
"Friend or foe identification signals, no response...... That's a diving object that doesn't belong to friendly forces! "One by one, the message was reported to the commander of the CIC, that is, the head of the mine, and the situation is very serious, "Activate the Nixie (a device to counter the fish and pedoes fired by the enemy), and the ship will stop at its current position!" "The Aegis ships have activated their defenses and are ready to deal with a possible enemy attack.
"Retreat, leave the rudder 90 degrees, aim the bow at the target and stop!" This is the second command, which is to adjust the sailing attitude of the entire Aegis ship to be perpendicular to the direction of the enemy's attack, so as to reduce the projection area of the Aegis ship, and also reduce the probability of being hit by enemy shells or torgeons. At the same time, using the strongest bow against the enemy, even if it is hit by the opponent's torodo, can reduce the damage to the hull, so it can be said that this sailing posture is specially designed to fight the enemy.
Feeling that the entire Aegis ship had completely stopped, everyone present felt that this exercise seemed to have become a little different, "Aha, this scene has suddenly become realistic!" Uncle Maori enjoyed the somewhat anxious atmosphere at the moment, but he obviously didn't notice the nervous look on Mr. Inoue's face and the cold sweat that kept pouring out from under the brim of his hat.
