Chapter 68: Temporary Operational Command (3)

The sea is strange because the sea breeze is too small, but the waves are too big.

According to the information captured by the camera, they can see the shape of the ship's bow flag. The flag flutters at a small angle, which indicates that the sea breeze is extremely small. And yet the waves ...... Yinghanhai feels that this is simply a huge wave that can only be caused by a typhoon above level 12!

In general, there is a high positive correlation between sea breeze and waves. We usually listen to weather forecasts, and we also issue wave height warnings when strong winds are approaching, as well as tips for fishing boats to avoid typhoons...... In short, the size of the waves is closely related to the wind at sea surface.

Now, however, the sea breeze is almost non-existent.

The waves are very high!

Not only the orientation of the bow of the wave-breaking ship, but also some of the waves on the side that can be seen on the slab can reach the height of the aircraft carrier's deck! The height of the deck of an aircraft carrier (from the water) is usually about 17 meters, which is converted to a common analogy, which is the height of a 6-story building! And the waves that come frequently at this moment can already extend the tip of the wave to this height!

It's no wonder that they can all feel the shaking of the aircraft carrier under their feet at this moment.

The most terrifying, and the most terrifying question for them-

There was no wind at all.

It makes sense that there is no wind and no waves, and it is barely understandable that there are small waves without wind, but there is no wind to make such big waves...... None of them have seen it.

No, you can't say that either.

Yesterday! It was also around this time, around 5 p.m., that there was no wind, and the sea had the same fluctuations as today! And immediately after that fluctuation, they heard the news of a tsunami breaking out around the world.

Yesterday's waves, the highest was only five or six meters.

The current wave height has washed up the side deck several times, and it is close to 20 meters high!

Yesterday's weird waves lasted less than a minute, and the sea returned to normal.

Now the weird waves......

At least since the commsman came down, and until now, for the four or five minutes that they had all gathered around the tablet to watch, there was no sign of stopping.

And there's a trend toward a larger scale!

In fact, during the period of withstanding this asymmetrical wave attack from left to right, the entire aircraft carrier was no longer stable.

Even the aircraft carrier, a maritime air base at the level of a giant on the water, began to shake more and more violently.

And that's not what surprised them the most!

Yinghanhai zoomed in on the screen and carefully observed the sea not far away.

He discovered a fact that is difficult to explain: the propagation of these waves has a circle.

Often, a wave of ocean waves originates from the same place on the surface of the sea, setting off a wave centered on this location. When this wave disappears, another location on the surface of the sea also creates a core point, followed by a second wave centered on this core point.

This happens over and over again.

After a short period of effort, at least seven or eight centers of the circle have been produced.

Ying Hanhai thought of yesterday's global tsunami, thought of the recording just now, and thought of the hypothesis of the combustible ice explosion mentioned in the recording, and he constantly compared it with the scene he saw......

My heart slowly sank.

If it is said that every wave in the center of the circle means the explosion of combustible ice somewhere on the seabed, then from the current situation, this area of tens of square nautical miles is ...... I guess all the combustible ice exploded, right?

If we say that the center of the circle that caused only four or five meters of waves yesterday could cause a tsunami on the coast that was more than ten meters high......

So now, how many meters high can the shore be caused by this wave after wave of explosion cores that can cause waves up to 20 meters high?

Ying Hanhai didn't dare to think about it.

Yesterday, before the information blockade, he also consulted the relevant information and knew that the directional propagation of the waves may be only a few meters high in the ocean far from the shore, but once it touches the coast, the height will increase by three or four times!

And the situation is a little different from yesterday in that today's circle center waves...... Endless generation!

It's only been a day!

If yesterday's tsunami can be explained by Professor Jiang Yikun's strange theory, then when this professor looks at the current situation, how can he explain it?

It seems that there are only ...... Only the terrible theories mentioned in the recording, the ones that resemble doomsday prophecies, can be explained.

At this time, the fleet was on the open sea, quite far from the shore, and had not received any news since late yesterday. But Inghamsea couldn't help but imagine what it would be like on land now.

At this time, Ying Hanhai felt that Xu Liang no longer needed to explain the reality of the tsunami to him.

What he had to think about now was whether the boatload of people would survive the super tsunami!

And in order to survive, he must first solve a more important and urgent matter:

Is the enemy on the side of the big ship really on his way?

Are those who were attracted by Nie Xing really on the ocean hundreds of nautical miles away?

Is it really our enemy? The enemy who wants to shoot at our warships?

Ying Hanhai just wanted to ask Xu Liang, but before he could ask, he was interrupted by a loud stomping sound.

Another communications soldier!

This communication soldier and the communication soldier who said just now were not in favor of the group, but the later one looked panicked and didn't look at his comrade-in-arms, stood in front of Ying Hanhai and raised a military salute and shouted:

"Report!"

A feeling suddenly rose in Ying Hanhai's heart: These cubs haven't reported good news today!

"Report Chief! Hostile situation! ”

Ying Hanhai said: Sure enough!

Signal Soldier: "Through optical measurement, we have discovered a large number of enemy fighters!" ”

Optical measurement, to put it bluntly, is visual inspection through a telescope. When Ying Hanhai heard this, he immediately became nervous.

Spotting the enemy by visual inspection is too much information.

This shows that our early warning planes at an altitude of 10,000 meters have not found enemy planes at all! It did not play the role of early warning of AWACS aircraft at all!

This shows that the enemy is conducting a full range of electronic information warfare, and its intensity is much greater than ours!

This further shows that the enemy fleet sent a carrier-based aircraft unit a long time ago, and it was not until the enemy entered the line of sight that our side discovered the enemy. This is limited by the level of military science and technology, a huge failure of reconnaissance technology!

The most important points are:

The visual distance on the surface of the sea, even if it is vast, is not infinite.

If a person is standing at sea level, the distance between the sea antenna and him is only 3 nautical miles because of the curvature of the earth's surface. The deck of the aircraft carrier is nearly 20 meters high, and the limit distance that can be seen is only about 20 nautical miles, and our scouts have been able to detect enemy planes through visual inspection, which shows that the enemy planes are very close to us.

Modern warfare is all over-the-horizon combat, and missiles have already been fired when the enemy is not seen. And now that the enemy aircraft has been seen, then the location of the missiles ......

As an excellent commander, Yinghanhai's reaction speed is not unfast.

He thought of it all in an instant.

In fact, he was quick to prove for himself what he had in mind.

A low, loud bang recoiled in the distance.

Ying Hanhai felt a slight vibration in the deck beneath his feet.

It's not the sound of being shot!

If my ship was shot, it would not be possible to move so little!

Ying Hanhai turned around sharply, but saw an officer in charge of liaising with a destroyer in the "other ship coordination" looking at the liaison device in his hand, his face pale. The liaison officer then shouted, "Report! ”

Ying Hanhai gritted his teeth: "Speak!" ”

"The port side of the destroyer Breaking Waves was attacked by an air-to-ship missile, and the cabin was flooded, and it was seriously damaged!"

Immediately afterward, several distant explosions came one after another!

Finally, everyone in the cabin suddenly felt the deck tremble violently under their feet.

There was a sound that almost burst the eardrum, and the direction was from the upper side.

There is no doubt that this mothership, too, was shot!
