Chapter 101: The Sunken Nuclear Submarine
Gu Xinyu, who was standing in front of Fei Meng, was a little at a loss, he knew that the person in front of him was Uncle Fei Meng, who his parents often mentioned to him, he looked at this elder who was the same age as his father, he couldn't see how much older than himself from the appearance, the figure of an athlete, his upright appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes were bright, he was a little restrained by Fei Meng holding hands and sitting on the sofa together, observing the simple and ultra-modern furnishings in the office with his eyes.
Fei Meng looked at the young man in front of him, who looked very much like Gu Guoqiang when he was young, and said kindly: "Xinyu, you can come to us, we are all very happy." I know you're surprised at how you've changed now, but life is like that, there is a breakthrough when there is change, right? ”
"Uncle Femon, I know how I've changed, and although I'd love to go back to my old life, it's impossible, and I think I'll get used to it." Gu Xinyu and Fei Meng said their thoughts, he had recovered from the initial confusion, and Gu Guoqiang and Chen Fangyu also comforted him and said that they would come to meet him sooner or later.
Looking at the strong young man in front of him, Fei Meng felt very relieved, Fei Meng had always been worried that Gu Guoqiang's success in his career would cause his son to have the flashy and arrogant habits of the rich second generation, but the polite and reasonable young man in front of him was not like that at all. Fei Meng then introduced: "You just came, rest for a few days, you have suffered from Li Kang, I will arrange for Professor Li Sucai to do a physical examination and treatment for you, so that you can recover as soon as possible." Our space city will soon set sail for our new location near Saturn's rings, and I'll take you to see our new home again. ”
************************************************************
In the vast expanse of the southwest Pacific, a huge A aircraft carrier formation consisting of new aircraft carriers, supply ships, littoral combat ships, Krupp-class destroyers and three nuclear submarines is sailing south, and several powerful F-48B fighter jets and drones are patrolling the air around the fleet. From a distance, the massive new aircraft carrier looks more like a giant barge, with a low hull no more than three meters above the water, the tall island bridge of the past is gone, and 200 mm thick special steel armor is mounted on the sloping side of the ship. On the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, an electromagnetic catapult is preparing to eject a heavy Hawkeye H14 new early warning aircraft into the sky, and the ground crew wearing yellow and red vests are nervously busy. In the smooth bridge command room of the aircraft carrier, the silver-haired Vice Admiral MacKaser, the commander of the fleet, was listening to a report on the state of the fleet by an officer on duty while listening to the report, while listening to the report, MacKaser thought about the purpose of the fleet operation, he knew that the real purpose of this mission was mainly to cheer up the allies, and the increasing scarcity of oil resources has made the offshore oil fields a place where all countries are eyeing them, but anyone who can get a little bit of it, even if it is a citizen of his own country who has drowned in that sea area because of a shipwreck, will want to take the opportunity to declare the sovereignty of the sea and soil, is there really no royal law?
After listening to the report, MacKaiser moved his fat buttocks, which was sitting a little woody, and said to the officer on duty: "According to the plan, a small-scale live-fire demonstration will be organized today, and the destroyer Krupp will be ordered to use an electromagnetic railgun to shoot at the electronic buoy thrown by the plane at a distance of 100 kilometers. ”
Watching the officer on duty salute and leave his command room, MacKaser and the chief of staff sitting next to him looked at each other and smiled, knowing that a good show was about to begin.
As the lead ship of this new class of destroyers, the Krupp has been in the limelight in recent years, and it has a strong presence in all the areas where there are disputes or need disputes. At this time, the fire control radar on the ship was searching for the target that was about to appear, and the electromagnetic railgun had already raised its muzzle to prepare for launch, as the plane 100 kilometers away in front dropped a red electronic buoy on the sea surface from a high altitude, and the buoy that deliberately did not open the parachute fell rapidly to the sea surface, and the fire control radar quickly and accurately locked on the target, only to see the muzzle of the electromagnetic railgun located in the bow of the ship flashed, and the conical projectile with an initial velocity of more than 5,000 meters per second dragged the fire to the target, and after more than ten seconds, A red cloud rose in the air 100 kilometers away near the surface of the sea, and the buoy turned into a wisp of red dust in an instant.
General MacKaser looked at the picture coming back from the front of the screen in front of him with satisfaction, as if he had seen the headlines of all the media around the world tomorrow as he was giving a speech and defending peace. A smug smile appeared on General MacKaser's face, and at this time, an officer on duty on the day shift ran in from the fleet command center next to him in a little panic and said: "Report to Your Excellency, a nuclear submarine that opened the way in front of us suddenly sent an emergency distress signal, saying that the hull of the ship was leaking in many places, the hull was seriously unbalanced, and it was rapidly sinking to the depths of the seabed. ”
The smile just now had not yet dissipated on the general's well-maintained face, and when he heard this sudden bad news, MacKaiser was surprised to lean back his originally straight upper body back in his chair, and his mind thought quickly for a moment and ordered: "Immediately withdraw the helicopter and the reporters on the observation ship to the mothership, and no one can interview and leave the ship without my order; ordered the fleet to stop advancing, blockade this sea area, and prepare for combat readiness at the first level; It was announced that a life-saving drill would be carried out, a rescue plan would be launched, and it would be implemented immediately! After giving a few orders, MacKaser wiped his sweaty head with his large, hairy hand on the back of his hand, he didn't understand what was happening, but it might mean that his military career was coming to an end.
More than 400 meters below the surface of the sea, the latest Illinois-class attack nuclear submarine Chicago is sinking slowly and desperately, because all the emergency isolation hatches have been closed, nearly 100 people on the ship have been divided into different compartments, but each compartment is constantly emerging from the invisible place, the captain Lieutenant Colonel Lucas helplessly watched the sea water in his sealed cabin keep pouring in little by little, he took out his beloved Parker pen, because the sea water has flooded the desk, So he had no choice but to stick his nautical diary on the sloping bulkhead and began to write suicide notes to his family......
Kosuke Sato and Li Kang sat in the cockpit of the Black Hawk-18, watching several Black Hawks in the sea busy punching holes all over the bottom of the Chicago, the design of the hull was too strong, fortunately it was not a double-layer hull, otherwise it would take a lot of time. According to Yasuda's concept, the destruction can only be carried out at the bottom, so that the wounds after sinking will be buried by the seabed, and it is not easy to find the real cause in a short time, unless the entire wreckage is lifted out of the water, which has the advantage of prolonging the rescue time and increasing the chance of exposure at the underwater base of the New New Human Association, which should be nearby. If they are alarmed and try to evacuate this area, then they will be out of the defense system that has been in operation for many years, and they will be eliminated by the Black Hawk who is waiting in the shadows to make a move.
The vacuum suction cup laser perforation equipment designed by Shuzo Yasuda's scientists is very useful, it is temporarily installed on the top of the Black Hawk-18, the suction cup sticks to the bottom of the submarine and begins to discharge seawater, and then the high-energy laser cutter begins to punch holes, and after the completion of the change of position and then continue to lay the next one, soon several Black Hawks adsorbed at the bottom of the submarine have made their first hole up to half a meter deep and nearly half a meter in diameter, and then moved the position and began to punch the second hole. The hole-drilling operations were mainly concentrated in the front and middle of the submarine, and due to the nuclear reactor in the rear, only one Black Hawk made a few holes to ensure that the submarine would not plunge into the seabed and stand upright. Seeing that the destruction was almost complete, Sato ordered the evacuation to begin.
Sato and Li Kang did not leave in a hurry, they still followed the sinking submarine, they knew that other nearby submarines in the fleet would immediately come to the rescue, but the nearest one was dozens of nautical miles away, and even if they came, they found that the small and fast Black Hawk-18 could not be found. As the sinking speed gradually accelerated, the Chicago submarine finally smashed heavily into the seabed, the huge hull was deeply embedded in the seabed, the silt and aquatic plants on the seabed were stirred, and the surrounding water was immediately plunged into chaos. Sato then ordered the pilot of the landline to start the voyage back, leaving a few Black Hawk-18s to secretly monitor the movements in this sea area, while he and Li Kang returned to the submarine turtle city.
On the way back, Li Kang was still angry about Gu Xinyu being rescued, he concluded that it was the guest who stayed in the presidential suite a few days ago who made trouble, and his accomplices of the New New Human Association found an opportunity to rescue Gu Xinyu, this person must have something to do with Gu Guoqiang, but Gu Guoqiang didn't know where to hide, and he didn't find any trace of him after searching for a few times, the more Li Kang thought about it, the more angry he became, and said to Sato angrily: "When I return to the base, I want to sneak attack the air and space transport ship of the New New Human Association again, otherwise I will only hate it in my heart." ”
Kosuke Sato glanced at Li Kang from the corner of his eye, and said softly: "I think that kid will run away, you have tortured him enough these days, why bother always thinking about the past, but you should think more about the security of your sub-base, since they have discovered your location, you should strengthen your vigilance and not relax, otherwise you and your people will move to my undersea turtle city, so it will be safer." Besides, I think you can only do this kind of thing once, if you do it again, you won't even lose yourself, listen to me, follow the plan step by step, this is just the beginning, and the show has not yet been officially staged. ”
At this time, the Black Hawk had already separated from the aircraft carrier fleet for a long time, and the pilot began to rise from the 800-meter-deep sea after asking Sato, and then several Black Hawks rushed out of the sea and began to fly rapidly in the air, flying in the direction of the submarine turtle city.
Li Kang knew that what Sato said was reasonable, he sighed, looked at the floating clouds flying under the porthole and said: "I know what you said is right, I just can't bear this breath, why is it always planted in their hands, am I destined to be oppressed by them all the time, unwilling." Sato didn't pay attention to Li Kang's self-talk, but looked intently at the picture on the display terminal in front of him, a nuclear submarine had reached the sea area where the sunken submarine had been sunk, and several miniature unmanned submarines were released, searching for the exact location of the wrecked submarine.
