Concerned that the Sea of Japan would be too narrow and that he might encounter a seabed blanket, Captain Alec decided to take the western side of the North Pacific Ocean and head south, from the northern Philippine Sea, through the waters of the East China Sea into the Yangtze River. Radio silence has been maintained for 11 hours, with 48 hours left for Akula to experience a brief ascent in the Pacific Ocean to change oxygen and exchange information with the main base.

The vast Pacific Ocean is a safe zone for all submariners to relax their nerves, and it is too wide for the probability of encountering enemy submarines in the past, not to mention that the surface is now almost a swarm of insects. Alec handed over the command module to the first mate and the autopilot, and he went to the rest area to relax, his nerves had been tense for too long.

The Russian refugees, who had already established settlements on the coast, decided not to follow the submarine to the southern hinterland for the time being, on the one hand, the submarine could not carry many people, and it was taboo to disperse the staff at such a time, and it was irresponsible to the people left behind in the settlement; On the other hand, even if he arrived at Guangling, it was only a transit station, and Qin Feng had already made up his mind to move his base camp, and at this time, it would be purely self-inflicted trouble to add people to the old site.

Because it is the result of the refugees' own negotiations, Natasha's emotions are not resistant, human nature in the last days has naturally become a little indifferent, and it is only the date of reunion that has been postponed, but leaving the group she is familiar with is still a process that needs to be adapted, she applied for some non-confidential files, trying to resolve the embarrassment of no one to communicate with now through the study and understanding of the current situation.

Putting down the coffee cup, Qin Feng flipped through the equipment report of the space center with the backlight of the PDA, this "raiding" trip has gained a lot in addition to the successful launch of a satellite, for these equipment that has been packaged and moved to the submarine, after being disassembled and thoroughly studied, it will become an important scientific and technological point (image statement) for the upgrading and evolution of the main system, and there are many bright spots that shine with sparks of wisdom, for the red police camp who crossed the river by feeling the stones to improve the equipment in order to fight the insect swarm, it is equivalent to taking a lot of detours, It has also cut down a lot of lengthy R&D processes.

"Bang bang bang!" A dull thudding sound came from outside the bulkhead, and Qin Feng was startled.

He pulled open the hatch: "What's going on?" ”

"The sonar officer in the CIC is reminded of the battle position, and the attack sonar wave is detected!"

"Take me there!" Inserting the PDA into the groove of the combat suit, Qin Feng carefully closed the door after stepping out of the cabin, trying to avoid making a high-decibel sound.

The silence in the CIC (Combat Intelligence Center) is suffocating, and the breathless tension makes everyone who enters here feel very uncomfortable, after all, they are in a "safe zone", and the psychological gap at this time makes most people not very calm.

But everyone was silent, waiting for the arrival of their superiors.

Alec was a little later than Qin Feng, and he was called up from the bed by the orderlies, with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and his burly figure looked a little stumbling when he crossed the cabin. But once he was in the center, he had tried his best to adjust himself to the most sober state.

One sonar officer was wearing a headset and was motionless, while another sonar officer met the officer's inquiring eyes and whispered, "Two submarines have been spotted, and there are signs of torpedo firing, but the direction is not from our side." ”

"Distance?"

"Thirty chains."

Qin Feng, who was listening from the sidelines, suddenly spoke: "Does the digital sound wave processing software have any alarms?" ”

"Normal warning, Commander."

Qin Feng nodded, which showed that his own system had not been shielded, and it could be deduced that the unknown submarine did not have a generation difference in technology level with his own, which was good news.

Alec and Qin Feng didn't speak the next, they were all waiting for the sonar officer to get new news, any unnecessary actions in an unknown state would lead to unpredictable consequences, and a qualified officer knew how to maintain his patience in the most tense situations.

When the Red Alert system appeared in the world, the global Internet had been interrupted, and the inability to invade the naval database of various countries also meant that it was impossible to determine the specific model of the submarine encountered, and at present, the characteristic noise obtained could only be compared with the noise storage of the Red Alert camp, and then its performance and attack characteristics could be compared.

"A directional high-frequency signal was found, although not directed at us, but just swept over our hull!"

The sonar officer, who had been silent, was shocked as soon as he spoke.

The directional high-frequency signal sent by the unknown submarine is aimed at the seabed, and the sonar officer estimates that the other party is surveying a three-dimensional view of the seabed, but unfortunately, Akula is in the mapping range!

At present, there are two situations: one is that the shape of the seabed does not need to be updated, and even only needs to know a general outline to drive normally; Second, the directional high-frequency signal is used to distinguish between whales and submarines, and it seems that sailors have never used it to map the seabed?

"A torpedo explosion was found! The epicenter of the explosion was located in ...... Seabed?! The sonar officer's tone was hurried with a hint of hesitation.

"Fungus blanket!"

"Fungus blanket!"

There were two short drinks in the CIC! Qin Feng and Alic glanced at each other, and the former motioned for the latter to immediately take over the command of the submarine.

Buttoning the leather hat to his head, Alec said without the slightest hesitation: "The whole boat is in combat mode!" Torpedo No. 2 was equipped with firing data, and the RU-20 ultra-cavitating torpedo tube was activated and ready for launch. ”

"Commander, we need to turn up the depth to send out terror robots." Alec said to Qin Feng.

"You have full authority over any decisions, and you don't need to ask me anything about it." There is a specialization in the art industry, and Qin Feng never hesitates when it is time to delegate power.

"Captain, command! On five, on the tail two, one-fifth of the power! ”

The bow of the Akula submarine, which was moving at a constant speed, suddenly raised slightly, and the surrounding sea water immediately became chaotic and disorderly, since the shape of the submarine had been mapped by the other party, it was only superfluous to insist on being cautious. In order to rise faster to the water pressure layer that the terrifying robot can adapt to, the submarine's actions can be described as opening and closing.

The movement caused by the explosion of the torpedo in the distance on the seabed has undoubtedly had a great impact on the work of the sonar officer, and everyone feels a heavy pressure in the face of both the fungus blanket and the unknown two submarines.

The half-minute battle warning has ended, the red lights are no longer flashing, and all the sailors are already in their combat posts.

"The acclimatized water pressure layer has been reached, and the camera can be turned on!" As soon as the hands reached the yellow scale, someone immediately reported it.

"Turn on the camera! Unleash three terrifying robots! Captain Alic said immediately, but when it came to the number of terrifying robots, he still subconsciously glanced at the Supreme Commander, he was worried about whether the number he sent was too much, after all, it was the extreme water pressure level of the terrifying robots, and the slightest carelessness would end up in one-time use.

Qin Feng pretended not to see it, if he didn't need to know first-hand information at all times, he wouldn't have come to CIC, feeling that he had already had an impact on normal command.

The tightly knit titanium alloy shell revealed a few gaps after bringing out a string of bubbles, and gradually the outer armor of the bridge, which looked like a monolithic plate, retreated and overlapped, revealing probes that were less than the size of a fist, and were encircled by a series of rounded alloy rings.

The upper level of the CIC, starting from the position of everyone's heads, the curved display screens on the surrounding bulkheads opened one by one, and faint light began to emanate, and the dark and quiet ocean was dotted with a few fading lights, which were signs that the torpedo had just exploded.
