70 She has grown up
The depth charges are getting denser and closer, and the whole submarine is being ravaged again and again in the continuous impact of explosions, everything is shaking violently, the light bulbs have all been shattered, the lights are extinguished, the submarine is dark, and many places in the control room are on fire.
In just a few moments, the cabin was filled with choking smoke and smell, mixed with exhaust fumes from the engine room and smoke from combustion, which made people breathless and smelly.
Eventually, the shock wave of the depth charge explosion slowly weakened, and the submarine was pitch black, with only the beams of portable explosion-proof lights piercing through the darkness and providing a faint light for everyone.
The torpedo room was also dark, and Lei Rui heard the hare wheezing, fumbled to grasp the foot of the iron bed, stood up, and asked in a low voice, "Rabbit, are you okay?" ”
"I'm okay!" The rabbit replied softly.
Lei Rui turned on the portable explosion-proof light and shone it on the pale face of Rabbit Kony, and at that moment, Captain Taylor's inquiry came from the intercom: "Masura, Rabbit, Ray, are you still alive?" ”
All three were fine, and Captain Taylor ordered softly: "Masura, two-thirds of the speed of the left engine." Rabbits, what about torpedo tubes? ”
The rabbit hurried over, and as if he was about to cry, he replied in frustration, "The compression gas is malfunctioning again, Captain!" ”
"Can it be fixed?"
"I don't know," replied the rabbit, "Captain, I don't know. ”
Captain Taylor asked very seriously, "The answer I want can only be "can" or "can't"! ”
Rabbit Coney looked at Lei Rui, Lei Rui hesitated for a moment, nodded at him, and the rabbit replied softly, "Captain, can you ......"
“OK!” Captain Taylor was satisfied with the answer, "First mate, dive down to 160 meters!" Trieger, put the tank's corpse in a life jacket, put the rest of the debris in the torpedo tube, and get ready to launch! ”
Everyone was shocked, at a depth of 160 meters, it is more than 500 feet! This is a depth that no one has ever experienced before! Except for Matsula in the engine room, Rabbit and Lei Rui in the torpedo room, everyone else in the control room couldn't help but think of what Matsura had told about the S-26 submarine, which only dived to a depth of 400 feet, like an egg, crushed by the huge water pressure!
Captain Taylor looked at the crowd and explained: "Only by diving deep, we can avoid the bombardment of depth charges, and then, at a depth of 160 meters, we will drain the debris and waste oil and wastewater from the engine room, and the destroyer will find this garbage, and will come to check it, and stop using sonar to confirm that we have been destroyed, so that we can float up again and attack the destroyer with the torpedo in the stern!" ”
"Throw the tank away as garbage?"
Trigg had just stood up and was about to put on a life jacket for the tank's corpse as Captain Taylor had said, and when he heard this, he said dissatisfied.
Everyone fell silent, and Captain Taylor looked at Trigg and said, "So he can save our lives!" ”
Trigg left in silence, first mate Henry supervised the submarine and kept diving, and Captain Taylor picked up the intercom and asked the rabbit how the torpedo tube repairs were going.
The rabbit looked at the motionless compressed air pressure indicator and shook his head and replied, "Not fixed yet, Captain!" ”
Lei Rui drilled into the bilge of the submarine again, only this time, the bilge was already filled with water, which was caused by the accumulation of water leaking in various places in the bilge during a round of bombardment by depth charges just now.
However, this has the advantage that where the compressed air pipe is leaking, you can see the bubbles clearly.
In order to facilitate Lei Rui's ventilation underwater, the rabbit prepared a long snorkel for him, which could be pulled from the place where he was launched to a distance of nearly 5 meters.
Lei Rui held a portable explosion-proof light in one hand and a snorkel in the other, swimming through the intricate pipelines, not far ahead, bubbles were churning, Lei Rui let go of the hand holding the snorkel, put the light aside, and screwed the leak valve with both hands.
But then, just a few meters ahead, there was another bubble tumbling, and there was also a leak.
Swimming there, Lei Rui had to drill through a fence, but the snorkel could no longer be pulled, and it had reached the maximum limit. Lei Rui estimated that swimming from here, about 3 meters, you can close the leak check valve, and then swim back, there is a breathing tube to ventilate, with his speed, it is completely possible,
At this moment, the submarine shook again, Lei Rui was in the water, feeling the shock waves squeezing towards him from all directions, he could only grasp the pipes around him with all his strength, so as not to be shaken away by the shock waves, and the whole submarine was once again under the bombardment of depth charges, moaning in pain, trembling, and suffering!
Lei Rui couldn't hear the voices of other people, only knew that the impact and shock were endless, and the portable explosion-proof lights fell from the pipes and sank to the bottom of the water.
The surroundings became pitch black, and with Lei Rui's super perception ability, he could only barely see a line of outline, and when the shock and shock slowly stopped, the water at the bilge surged frantically, and it seemed that more pipes were bursting, so that more and more water leaked out!
He didn't know that at this time, there was already chaos in the control room, the submarine dived to 160 meters, and still could not escape the bombardment of depth charges, Captain Taylor gritted his teeth and let the first mate Henry dive to 200 meters! This trick worked, and the depth charge finally exploded only on the top of the submarine's head, and when it hit the submarine, it was no longer so powerful, but there were water pipes bursting everywhere, and the water splashed into the cabin, and it could not be stopped at all.
What's even more terrifying is that when the others rushed to stop the leak, Chef Eddie was supervising the depth gauge, and the pointer directly crossed the limit of 200 meters, and continued to rotate to the blank area without a number. Chief mate! Floating! ”
First mate Henry opened the drain valve of the main water tank like crazy, and then opened all the drain valves of the water tank, Eddie finally saw the pointer shake, and then began to slowly turn back, and couldn't help but be surprised, shouting: "Floating, starting to float!" ”
It's just that this ascent is getting faster and faster, and the whole submarine is completely out of control, and Captain Taylor grabbed the intercom, almost shouting: "Rabbit, torpedo tube!" Ready to launch! ”
"Captain! The torpedo tubes have not been repaired yet! ”
"Damn it!" Captain Taylor shouted, "We're about to surface, and we can't dive anymore!" If you can't fire a torpedo, we're dead! ”
