Chapter 32: Astuteness
Although Professor Carter was worried about the health of the two good students, under the strong request of the two, he nodded with satisfaction: "I have been teaching at Central Metropolitan University for 13 years, and your behavior makes me feel extremely proud of the students of Central Metropolitan University for the first time!" You are all good, and I will definitely ask Lester to send the elite of the Royal Navy to protect your safety. To assist you in your work, Stephen, you are in charge of the team leader. I, on the other hand, continue to be in charge of the remaining 23 students. You can take a break for a while. I don't think it will be too long, though. Claudia has already told me another bad news, four hours later, we will rush to the subway, where we will find the body of the patrolman, presumably the ancient creatures have done their best. You two, stay safe and good luck!"
Stephen held a walkie-talkie, and after a call to Roger, over, a "commando" helicopter flew in the sky. After landing, Stephen led the Mojo and Kirk aboard the plane and flew towards the southwestern skies of England.
Wang Han witnessed Kirk leaving, and before Kirk left, he gave her a flying kiss, which made Wang Han's cheeks blush, angry and annoyed. Li Wenli was naturally even more annoyed.
The "Commando" helicopter was transformed from a Sea King helicopter to take on the task of transporting troops, and the interior space is very large. In one corner, the Magic Rider closed his eyes and rested. Kirk sat across from him, also with his eyes closed. Stephen was talking to the driver in the cockpit.
Suddenly, a voice transmission entered the mark of Kirk's space, and the cold voice of the demon rider said: "Contractor boy, since I let you go, I have to cherish my life, what are you doing here?" β
Kirk grinned and said, "You are a reincarnation, so naturally you have to learn from you. Since you rushed to Beihai to kill the dragon, there are naturally a lot of benefits. The younger brother also wants to share a little profit. β
He was right. The demon rider also knew that he offered to go to Beihai, which did cause a lot of speculation, and this stupid novice ran with him, wanting to get some light. It also makes sense.
The Mojo stopped talking. However, the corners of his well-defined mouth quietly revealed a strange smile.
As the boss of the Phoenix gang and a powerful reincarnation, the Demon Rider didn't take Kirk as a contractor in his eyes at all.
It's really a matter of asking for money, since you come with me to get wet, then let you follow well. The vast North Sea, the long search. What is it to be dead? God unknowingly disposed of this weak contractor, 10 hours and 20% of the punishment time is just right, and it is the strongest state to go back.
The "Commando" helicopter landed.
Stephen jumps off the plane with the Mojo and Kirk. Kirk sighed in his heart, this mission seems to be like this, the [internship] stage below 90 points. You must mix in the city of London, score more than 90 [essay], and you can start walking around. This means that it is finally possible to find traces of the alien contractors and try to attack and kill them.
"Three, welcome to Devonport Naval Harbour in Plymouth, South West England! You will have the privilege of participating in one of the Royal Navy's greatest operations! A well-dressed Royal Navy officer led his non-commissioned officers to welcome the three Stephens.
"Major General Nelson, thank you for your support!" Stephen was polite.
Major General Nelson's pale blue eyes rested on Stephen, the Magic Knight, and Kirk: "It seems that you are the ones that the Secretary of State said on the phone. Three of Professor Carter's students? It doesn't matter how famous you Professor Carter are. It doesn't matter who calls. I need to get the words up front. Once on my ship, you must follow my orders. Your role. It's limited to telling us the exact location of the damn monster. Don't do anything else superfluous. Otherwise, I'll put you in torpedo tubes and shoot at the monsters! Do you understand? β
Apparently, the rear admiral, who has the same name as the founder of the British Royal Navy, did not take the Secretary of State for Defense to heart at all. After his welcome speech, he put the naval cap on his head, straightened up, gave a military salute, and left.
Stephen's face was ugly, but the Mojo seemed unsurprised by Major General Nelson's unruliness, and quickly followed. Kirk had no choice but to follow.
In front of it is the Royal Navy submarine repair yard and fleet home port - Devonport Military Port.
When he saw the huge submarine, Kirk was shocked by the domineering scene!
In front of his eyes, there was an incomparably domineering Astute-class nuclear submarine docked!
Under [Helen Keller glasses], a series of data emerged:
γAstuteγ
[Level]: [Astute-class] (Astute-class) lead ship, the British Royal Navy after the Cold War development of nuclear-powered tactical submarines, a total of 7 submarines were planned to be built, the first batch of submarines including "Astute", "Ambush", "Alert" and "Brave" 4, all built by the Barrow Inverness shipyard under BAE Systems.
[Displacement]: 6300 tons (surface), 7800 tons (underwater).
[Total length]: 97 meters.
[Width]: 11.3 meters.
[Draft]: 10 meters.
[Speed]: 32 knots (underwater).
[Establishment]: 100 people (including 12 officers), plus a maximum of 12 people.
[Power]: Nuclear power, 1 PWR2 reactor of Ro-Royce; 2 steam turbines from General Electric, single-shaft, waterjet thrusters; 2 turbine generators, 2 diesel alternators; 2 speed submersible motors, 1 retractable booster.
γWeaponsγ:
Missile: "Tomahawk" cruise submarine-launched missile. Submarine-launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
Torpedoes: 5 or 6 533mm torpedo tubes for launching Tomahawk missiles, submarine-launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and Sailfish torpedoes. A total of 38 bombs of the above three types were prepared.
Mines: Alternative to torpedoes.
[Combat Data System]: British Aerospace "Zeeman" SMCS tactical data processing system.
[Radar]: Navigation radar, I-band.
[Sonar]: Type 2076 has a comprehensive sonar that can be rolled and towed.
Looking at the behemoth with a displacement of 6,300 tons in front of him, Kirk's eyebrows raised, although this is a world-class nuclear-powered submarine, it does not have the ability to launch submarine-launched intercontinental missiles. The Demon Rider should use it to go to the [Time and Space Node] in the depths of the North Sea.
"Now, the British government, which has been overwhelmed by the endless stream of ancient monsters, has lost its bearings. See, Great Britain is willing to exaggerate two nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups for a giant crocodile on the Thames. So, why can't a huge ancient ocean predator dispatch a nuclear submarine? In the sequence of the British Royal Navy, the only warship suitable for dealing with this monster in the deep sea is this nuclear submarine that is also lurking in the deep sea! β
Watching the magic rider unveil the layers of fog little by little like a magician, Kirk also waited and watched. The only miscalculation of this magician was that he did not expect that his subordinates' actions at the National Gallery in London would be watched by such a weak contractor, and he quietly did a little trick.
Since entering the world, the Moxie has never been out of Kirk's sight for a long time. Kirk was sure that he hadn't had a chance to get his hands on that nuclear weapon yet. Because, Kirk has already tried to put nuclear weapons into the space seal, but he has been refused. The reason is that "powerful modern objects cannot be included in the space imprint as space items." Presumably, this is the space in order to shield the real powerful from using power and wealth to seek unfair advantages in the space.
Since Mr. Demon Rider is currently empty, it means that he has not yet obtained the key nuclear weapon. Kirk's eyes flashed, since the demon rider took the initiative to come here to kill the dragon. Then, the [space-time node] guarded by Canglong is very likely the [space-time node] that he used the space-time jammer to correct to the National Art Museum!
The only thing that is uncertain now is the location of the [Space-Time Node].
Kirk continued to calculate, extrapolating the details.
We must find the [Time and Space Node] located in the depths of the North Sea, and completely shatter Mr. Demon Knight's wishful thinking!
Moreover, you have to get ahead of the magic knight.
Nelson stopped at the nuclear submarine boarding gate, and his icy gaze swept to the three Stephens again: "Welcome to the pride of the British Royal Navy, the Astute!" β
He made a gesture of invitation, and Stephen was not polite to him, and led the two of them down.
Nelson stepped down and ordered, "First mate Mr. Cook!" By order of Lord Schofield, the Royal Admiralty, as Captain of the Astute, I order you to prepare for the departure of Devonport in half an hour! β
"Yes, Captain!" A young officer replied.
"Now, as navigators, tell me where my ship is going?" Nelson's ice-blue eyes stared at the three.
Both Stephen and Kirk looked at the Mojo. THE MAGIC RIDER TOOK OUT AN IPAD-LIKE TABLET, CLICKED IT, AND REPORTED A COORDINATES: "CURRENTLY, THAT DAMN MONSTER IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF IRELAND, NEAR WATERFORD, AND CURRENTLY IN THE SHALLOW SEA." Specific coordinates (52.09-7.2). β
Nelson nodded in satisfaction, "Hopefully we get there and you can prove your worth." This pretty little darling would cost the Royal Navy Β£8 million for one sortie. It only took us 121 minutes to get there. Gentlemen, my adjutant has prepared a rest room for you. This nuclear submarine is highly classified by Great Britain. Don't run around if you don't have anything to do, or I can't guarantee your safety. β
Nelson waved his hand, and the three had no choice but to return to their dorms.
The natural place on the nuclear submarine is cramped. Fortunately, the British Royal Navy has a good tradition of treating soldiers well, and there is no need to sleep in "hot bunks" with many soldiers like Russian submarines. (The beds installed on the submarine are smaller than those on the boat, and the soldiers need to take turns sleeping in one bed, and the beds do not belong to individuals, collectively referred to as "hot bunks"). However, judging from the few strong sailors at the door, Captain Nelson was very uncomfortable with a few strangers getting on his nuclear submarine.
Kirk had been sleepy for a long time, and now there was still an hour and a half before he reached the shore, and in the vast sea, he was not afraid of the magic horse running away or playing tricks, and Kirk fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
