“…… So, this number not only helped me solve the AI problem of self-guided torpedoes, but also meant that I would become Marvin? The characters within the Greg system, that is to say, the evolutionists value and appreciate my abilities, and as long as this experiment is successful, I can leave this hellish place with the real yàn number jù and surprise all those who don't value my research! ……”

"It's so loud that I can't hear anything!!"

"Calm down!"

The sonar soldier's shouting filled the entire cabin again, and Ling Yu turned and rushed out of the cockpit while patting him on the head to calm him down, and then ran directly to the personnel cabin, looking at the water below through the huge open hatch.

However, the greater effect of this torpedo was that the entire merchant fleet began to collapse, and the captains of the transport ships, who could not judge the target of the torpedo, began to flee into the distance.

"Whoa—"

Just as Ling Yu turned his head to ask Helis about to ask, the thick column of water caused by the torpedo air explosion broke through the sea from the bottom up without warning!

"Has there been any progress?"

Ling Yu turned his head to ask, but Helis only shook his head, and the destroyer in the distance seemed to realize that this anti-submarine helicopter had some way to interfere with anti-aircraft missiles, and gave up carrying out missile attacks.

The destroyer Black Rose is activating its close defense guns, and I'm interfering with its sighting system, but they're going to start manual aiming soon, and we can't get around it.

"One more time!"

Ling Yu quickly got back into the cockpit again, patted the captain on the shoulder and shouted, I don't know if it was because he was too scared or simply decided to let it go. The captain's joystick swung and directly rotated, and the nose of the plane turned 180 degrees and dived downward.

"Drop the torpedo!"

The second torpedo detached from the right side of the helicopter and plunged directly into the water, but before the results of the attack could be heard. In the distance, the destroyer's close defense guns spewed tongues of fire like the whip of death, and swept towards the helicopter's position.

"When the are you going to stop being so civil war insiders!!"

Ling Yu scolded, and the captain who was hanging by a thread also dived according to the prompt given by Helis on the screen at the same time, and dodged a tongue of fire in a few moments.

But helicopters can't hide like this forever, helicopters are much slower than the reaction speed of close-in guns, and even manually operated close-in guns can easily shoot down swaggering helicopters loitering nearby.

"No, just land on that merchant ship first, anyway, the torpedo has already been used, do your best. Leave to destiny. ”

"Do it." Payne reminded him in time, Ling Yu nodded, patted the captain on the shoulder, and then rushed to the personnel compartment in two steps.

However, at this moment, suddenly, on the surface of the sea below the helicopter that had been ceded by the merchant ships, a column of water similar to the previous one erupted again, but this was only the beginning, a second later. A huge column of water erupted like a volcano and almost hit the helicopter!

And the same. The huge wave rushed in all directions, deflecting the destroyer's almost helicopter guns off target.

"Discover the target! It's a submarine! Voiceprint recognition is unknown! ”

"I don't need you to say it, I've seen it."

Ling Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, and by the time the sonar soldiers finally matched what was underwater from the chaos, the huge submarine had already directly broken through the water and appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Ling Yu held on to the hatch. Look at the submarine like a whale breaking through the water with its streamlined head and then slamming it back - there was a glaring hole about a meter in front of it, and the silencer tiles on one side were all peeled off by the explosion, revealing the scarred hull.

It seems that it was urgently ascended at a critical time, so it was not sunk.

"It's better not to be sunk. I still have something to ask this captain. Ling Yu smiled coldly, then took off the safety rope hook behind him with his backhand, jumped out of the cabin directly, and jumped directly from a height of dozens of meters!

"Didn't they spot a torpedo attack?" Ethan looked at Ling Yu's jumping figure, frowned, and asked.

The barrier is always on both sides, and they make it impossible for us to hear them with the help of the noise of the fleet, and in the same way, their sonar crews are completely deaf as a result, the sound of torpedoes entering the water? I guess they couldn't hear the active sonar slap at that time.

Helis shook her head and gave an answer.

"That's audible, the whole ship will reverberate when the active sonar strikes" Payne corrected a little unconcerned, "but it's so close, such a big submarine, it's too late for them to hear it"

Even if you're right.

Helis gave Payne a blank look, then raised her hand to remove her hood, took a step forward, and jumped out of the cabin.

"Why does she always hate me so much?" Payne, who originally wanted to jump, was preempted by Helis, he shook his head helplessly and looked at Ethan, "Where did I offend her?" ”

"I don't know where you offended her," Ethan shrugged helplessly, then sat back in his chair, buckled up, and tilted his head back to close his eyes, "but I know why you're still single, uncle." ”

“…… All right. Payne shook his head and turned to look at the cockpit, "Find a merchant ship to land." ”

"Yes." The sound from the cab was a little prostration, but it was somewhat relieved.

***

"There is an enemy invading the hull!!"

"Pull the battle alert! The assault team protects the damage management team members to repair the power equipment and prepare for an emergency dive! Rest assured, there are merchant ships all around here, and they don't dare to use anti-ship weapons casually! ”

Captain Caesar stood on the platform, and the old captain of the ACA, who had been in the deep sea all the year round, and dealt with all kinds of dangerous situations, also showed an extremely calm expression at this time, and he looked at the damage report that had just been submitted, and quickly gave the order to deal with it.

It is natural that the sound of the torpedo entering the water was not heard, and the sound of the ships above must drown out the sound of the anti-submarine torpedo machine and the sound of the torpedo entering the water, in fact, when he heard the active sonar slap of the torpedo, he knew that it was already too late.

Although I don't know why it was found. Or maybe it was just plain bad luck, but the torpedo projected from this distance did not even give him time to turn on the interception, and the barely opened bubble curtain was directly passed through by the torpedo before it completely dispersed, and the Allied torpedo, which had good penetration performance, rushed directly to the tail of the submarine and rushed towards the position of the waterjet propulsion device.

Even at this juncture, Captain Caesar made the most correct judgment. He activated the water spray device at the bottom of the submarine, directly raised the submarine several meters, and let the torpedo facing him directly hit the right side of the submarine.

Large swaths of silencing tiles were peeled off, and the huge explosion caused the two watertight compartments on the right side of the amidship to flood directly, and although the gates were closed in time, the submarine was slightly tilted.

Even so, it is not the worst-case scenario, and the setting of the Alliance's self-guided torpedoes to attack the tail first makes sense, and many large submarines of the ACA use black technology materials. In the early confrontation between the two sides more than a decade ago, the alliance often had false reports of sinking because the ACA had the ability to escape even if a third of the hull was destroyed and flooded.

Therefore, the Alliance's response is to use rear-end attacks, first destroying the submarine's ability to move, and then repeating the attack until it is convinced of sinking.

In the same vein, Captain Caesar, the new ACA submarine, made the same judgment - the engine must not be hit.

It's just that he didn't take it into account. Another torpedo rushed almost simultaneously from the opposite direction of the submarine - the anti-submarine helicopter turned around and dropped another torpedo in the opposite direction, which was not in line with any allied tactical maneuver.

Or maybe. Even if he thought about it, there was nothing he could do about it - the submarine that had just been hit naturally could not make a quick U-turn, so it was absolutely impossible to dodge the torpedo aimed at the tail, and in addition, there was not enough time, and the active sonar of the second torpedo crashed headlong into the aft power compartment of the submarine as soon as it was turned on. Then detonate.

So the only thing Captain Caesar could do was to put the whole submarine into an emergency state of afloat at the end - if he lost the ability to sail and was trapped underwater, he would only be completely killed by depth charges and anti-submarine torpedoes, and if he could surface, then at least there was a chance to surrender.

"Where is the second batch of torpedoes?!"

Merely. It was not Caesar's character to give up without resistance, and he was contemplating the possibility of a final Jedi counterattack......

"The torpedo is still being tactically planned, and it will take about three minutes to enter the attack position!"

"Release Pod Three! Set to fully autonomous mode! Captain Caesar raised his voice and released the pod at the bottom of the submarine's two remaining pods, while the pod on the right side of the submarine could no longer be released because it had surfaced.

"Hold on a little longer!" After giving the order, he did not forget to let his voice fill the entire silent command cabin, cheering up especially Dr. Lincoln, who was already pale and his body was trembling on the ground.

There was still a glimmer of hope, Captain Caesar set his sights on the damage report - only two of the submarine's four water-jet navigation devices were damaged, which means that the submarine could still sail at low speeds, and although the silencing tiles and hulls on the right side were damaged, now as long as the torpedoes released from the pods No. 2 and No. 3 were used to sink the remaining four destroyers, and then the anti-submarine aircraft were destroyed with anti-aircraft missiles on the deck, they could dive again, as long as this was done within 20 minutes, before the anti-submarine aircraft of the Alliance reinforcements arrived, Captain Caesar was certain in his ability to use the wreckage of these ships to evade the search of the anti-submarine fleet.

This plan sounds crazy, although eight torpedoes can guarantee the destruction of four destroyers, but the probability of shooting down the four rotorcraft that have already risen into the air with anti-aircraft missiles on the deck without more damage is very small, but Captain Caesar has experienced too much madness in his life, and in such a moment of crisis, you can only have a glimmer of hope of survival if you believe in this extremely small possibility and do your best.

People who are not obsessed with adventure will not become submariners, let alone submarine captains.

"The second batch of torpedoes has entered the attack position, and the final tactical sharing with the third batch of torpedoes is underway!"

"Pay attention to the results of the torpedo battle, once the destroyer is destroyed, the weapons operation team will immediately activate the deck-to-air missiles, kill those anti-submarine aircraft, we still have a chance to escape!"

Caesar gritted his teeth and continued to cheer on the crew who had rekindled some hope—though most of the old men still trusted the commander.

But in the next second, a voice suddenly shattered his plan completely.

"There's TF! A TF has invaded the boat! The watertight door was broken and the crew suffered heavy losses!! ”

"How ......"

The exclamation of his subordinates finally gave Caesar a look of surprise on his face, but before he could react, the next exclamation continued to be heard.

"They are approaching the bridge !!"

Then, Dr. Lincoln, who had been sitting on the ground trembling, suddenly jumped up and rushed to the torpedo control platform next to him. (To be continued......)
