Chapter 695: Deep Sea Rescue on

"Duke, I heard that you have just successfully developed a new type of robot?" An urgent call from Qin Tairan broke Duke's testing process, and on the phone, Duke could clearly hear that Qin Tairan was in a hurry.

"Yes, Brother Qin, I'm doing the relevant tests now, and I haven't finished it yet." Duke replied a little strangely, Qin Tairan has always been calm, how could he speak in such a hurry today. The main intended use of this robot is to be used in nuclear power plants related to the maintenance of the core part, where people need to wear extremely heavy protective clothing to work, which is dangerous and inefficient.

This thing really has nothing to do with the military, Qin Tairan came to the door in such a hurry, what could happen?

"Can it do underwater operations?" Qin Tairan then asked.

"Yes, I'm an intelligent robot developed for complex and dangerous environments. It can replace manual work in a variety of environments. Duke looked at the Iron Man robot in front of him, and proudly replied, this xìng can have nothing to hide, and the nuclear power plant will really buy some jobs in hazardous environments in the future.

"How deep can it work under the seabed? Is there a problem with 750 meters deep? Now it is not possible to use it directly. Qin Tairan's tone of inquiry became more urgent.

Duke was stunned, he had never considered such a deep seabed working environment, because when he first considered this robot, for underwater work, that is, to consider maintenance work at a depth of about 100 meters under the nuclear power plant, and by the way, to complete the extraction process of nuclear fuel produced by the nuclear power plant.

So the designed working depth of the seabed is about 100 meters. But this time, for the sake of insurance, Duke chose the best materials produced by himself almost regardless of the cost, so the materials used in this experimental product are quite perverted, and the scope of application should be much wider than the original design, and it has great potential.

Duke quickly went through the design and materials of the various parts of the entire robot in his mind, and then roughly estimated the effect of water pressure on it while working on the seabed.

"I'm not sure about the depth of more than 700 meters, maybe I can, but I haven't tested it yet, and I don't know how to do it now. However, there is one point, the current communication design of this robot cannot work remotely at such a depth on the sea surface, so the work it completes at such a deep seabed cannot be too complicated, because I have no way to command it in real time. Duke replied with some uncertainty.

The wireless communication technology used by this robot is an improved version of the technology provided by Bielem, which is carried out by electromagnetic waves, and can reach hundreds of kilometers on the ground without problems, but the working range under water is quite limited, and it is good to have an effective range of more than 100 meters.

Although this effective range is enough for Duke's needs and tasks, it is obviously a bit far from Qin Tairan's sudden new needs.

"It's almost ready to go, Duke, it's the best news I've heard today. Now is the time of 100,000 urgency, you immediately prepare this system, and the military will use this system to complete an extremely difficult deep-sea rescue work. Duke, our navy has a strategic nuclear submarine, which suddenly lost power during the cruise in the South China Sea earlier, and is now stranded on the seabed at a depth of more than 700 meters. The situation on the submarine is terrible right now, the vital oxygen supply will be exhausted in a few hours, and at this depth, the spare life-saving equipment on our submarine cannot support the officers and men in their escape.

They had to repair the submarine and restore a certain amount of power before they could get out of danger. However, the manipulator on the Jiaolong submersible is now unable to open the submarine's life-saving air interface and install the task of installing a high-pressure air duct, usually this work is completed by divers, but now the depth of the submarine is too deep, and our divers have failed to dive deep many times, they can dive to a depth of more than 500 meters at most, and then dive, the human body will not be able to stay awake for operation.

Now it's up to you to see if your robot can complete this important task, dive into more than 700 meters of water to connect this life-saving high-pressure delivery gas pipe, and replenish the submarine's air. If we can keep the submarine with an adequate oxygen supply, it will give the submarine maintenance technicians more time to repair the submarine's power and complete self-rescue. Duke, you're everyone's last hope to save their lives. Qin Tairan excitedly said the reason for the incident in one breath.

Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but be a little stunned, this thing is too coincidental, if this robot is not completed, wouldn't the people on this submarine be extremely dangerous?

Duke didn't know that during this time, in order to ensure national defense security, all kinds of ships of the Navy were almost in a state of combat readiness, and the submarine force, as the most effective means of defense against threats, was dispatched in turn to patrol in hot spots, the submarine mentioned by Qin Tairan was a relatively old nuclear submarine of the Navy, and its nuclear reactor was still the original old-fashioned pressurized water reactor, after years of operation, the current reliability was indeed not very high, and this time it broke down during the cruise, causing the submarine staff to shut down for maintenance, Due to the complexity of the cause of the failure, the technicians could not quickly complete the repair work for a while, which made the submarine sink to the deep sea bottom and could not move, as the oxygen generated by the backup life-saving device on the submarine tended to run out, and the whole submarine was now filled with an atmosphere of despair.

Although the navy received a distress signal as soon as it broke down, and organized a huge rescue fleet to go to the sea area where the accident occurred, but because the submarine was too deep, the divers could not dive to carry out rescue work, and relying on the Jiaolong-class submersible could not be completed at all, and everyone could only be anxious, but fortunately, someone remembered Qin Tairan at this time, and called Qin Tairan to see if he had any way In the past 11 or two years, Qin Tairan has presided over a series of major projects of the military on the surface, and has an extremely loud reputation in the army. Duke, on the other hand, is just a behind-the-scenes hero, and only on a very small scale does anyone know about it.

"Brother Qin, I still have to go to this matter personally, this robot is still in the experiment, if there is any problem, I must be able to solve it in time." Thinking that the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers were in danger, Duke said without hesitation.

Although the matter is so urgent, but this matter itself is at sea, it is quite dangerous, Qin Tairan did not dare to put Duke in a dangerous environment at will, so Qin Tairan listened to Duke take the initiative to ask for help, Qin Tairan hesitated. In addition, the sea area where the accident occurred is very close to the Philippine side, and if it attracts the attention of the US military and attracts any unforeseen risks, it will be even more difficult for Qin Tairan to take the blame.

"Okay, Brother Qin, you coordinate with the military, I will leave immediately, fly to the nearest airport to the scene, and then transfer to a helicopter to the scene" Duke knew Qin Tairan's concerns, now that he was protected like a national treasure, Qin Tairan didn't dare to agree casually if he went to such a place with great risks.

But this matter is related to more than 100 lives, Duke will never sit idly by, many of the core engines of this robot design software are provided by Duke, no one knows better than Duke that this robot can do with Cāo, so Duke must personally go to the kitchen to remotely command to ensure that this life-saving work is completed as soon as possible.

Duke is like this, what else can Qin Tairan say, he has to agree, there is no time to delay now.

3 hours later, Duke took the robot to the Nansha Taiping Island Airport, and after the military got Qin Tairan's report, the military commission boss personally ordered all the fighters in the entire Nansha garrison area to enter the first-level alert state, ready to take off at any time.

The South China Sea Fleet sent 5 helicopter formations to pick up Duke and his party, the area of the accident is about 250 kilometers away from Taiping Island, which is not too peaceful now, and it has just been fought down not long ago, and the surrounding countries often send submarines or something to hang around in the nearby high seas, although the South China Sea Fleet has deployed several submarines and large destroyers in the sea area to patrol before Duke arrives, but in order to ensure Duke's safety, the fleet still sent a strong air force to protect.

For the top military generals, the rescue work of the wrecked submarine is of course important, but the safety of Dr. Duke cannot be ignored either, which is a key figure in the rapid expansion of the military's military power, and it must not be missed. Therefore, in the short period of three hours before Duke's arrival, the military had already mobilized all available military forces in the Nansha garrison area, and deployed a three-dimensional protection ring of land, sea and air in the area where the accident occurred.

Within the boundaries of this protected area, the military has received high-level authorization to take decisive measures to destroy suspicious ships or flying objects that have entered the protected area and do not evacuate after being told to do so, regardless of nationality. Although the lower-level officers did not know why there was such a sudden battle order, since the battle of Nansha to seize the island, everyone knew that it was not peaceful here, but no one thought that all this was just because of the arrival of a big man.

However, Duke did not know all this, and did not think that because of his arrival, he would cause such tremendous pressure on the South China Sea Fleet. He and his robot passed through Taiping Island Airport and landed unharmed on a large search and rescue ship by helicopter on a rescue mission.

At this moment, the sea and sky in the South China Sea, the blue sea and the blue sky almost blend together, such a picturesque beauty, so that Duke, who had just gotten off the helicopter, was a little distracted for a while.
