The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Xiuxuan looked out at the East China Sea through the reeds. If the prediction is good, the Izumo will soon pass in front of his eyes, and although the drone has returned, sinking Izumo no longer relies on too much aerial intelligence, and once 419 is back to action, its bow sonar will be enough to track such a large fleet. Even if it only regains eighty percent of its speed, it will be enough to catch up with the enemy fleet that was dragged down by Izumo.

In the distance, he saw darkness, and soon a huge light-gray ship came into view, and from the three huge chimneys, it was Izumo. Another destroyer cruised to the east, where it was vulnerable to submarine attacks.

The Izumo finally stopped about 2 kilometers away in front of Lin Xiuxuan, and it looked quite powerful, and it was really a hundred ugliness from a distance, far less tattered than a few days ago, when it was separated by a hundred and ten meters. As the sky gradually darkened, the Izumo and Yugumo were strictly controlled by the lights, and it seemed that they were still on guard against submarines.

Lin Xiuxuan had just learned that Qin Xiaosu had used the US code in his possession to simulate several telegrams from US submarines, which were being sent from Tanhu Island. These telegrams used short-wave frequencies acceptable to the enemy, as well as codes that they could not decipher, disguised as communications near the East China Sea and within the concession. The aim is to confuse the enemy's audio-visual. It also laid the groundwork for the sinking of Izumo in the future.

Whether the enemy can see through the fact that someone is stirring up trouble between the United States and Japan, or whether he really judges that there is a US submarine approaching, these messages can play a role in muddying the situation. Even if it doesn't work so well, it can confuse enemy auditions.

Before nightfall, two other warships arriving from the south finally joined Izumo. With the help of the low-light telescope, Lin Xiuxuan could see that the four enemy ships had finally been gathered.

At the same time, Cheng Dayang sat in the command cabin of No. 419, constantly looking at his watch, the political commissar stood behind him, and the rest of the people were waiting as if they were facing a great enemy.

"I'm the chief of mechanical and electrical engineering, and after everything is checked, I didn't find any excess radiation outside the shield. You can start a reboot. ”

Shu Ping's voice came from the intercom, calm and calm.

"How's the external power supply ready?" He asked, holding the walkie-talkie.

"All the generators have been started and there are no problems."

"Plug in external power."

On the Meteor, Chu Aiyun pushed the power switch hard, and the eight units behind him were rumbling, not yet half of the power, and now the electricity was connected to the No. 419 submarine through a cable.

"Plug in external power, increase cooling and circulate power." Cheng Dayang issued a new directive. Now in addition to the submarine's own generator, it is bound to increase the rest of the power, which will be in place before the reactor is functional, the current test circuit.

After waiting for a month, this moment has finally arrived, Cheng Dayang doesn't know what will happen after he gives the restart order, and then the steam will gradually increase, testing the entire pipeline system.

"Listen to me, raise the control stick, minimum power."

"The control stick is raised."

With this critical command, that part of the neutrons absorbed by the control rod is released, and the excess neutrons break through the critical and the chain reaction begins again. Of course, this cannot be done overnight, and the power is still carefully controlled, otherwise an external power supply of just a few megawatts will not be able to take away enough heat, which will cause serious problems of core melting. So it must have been a gradual process, and the test time was very long, including the planned sinking of Izumo, and the reactor could not output as much power as it wanted.

"Maintain minimum power and detect steam pressure."

"The command module instruments are normal."

"The power compartment values are normal, and the pipe pressure increases."

Numerically it is possible to see if the pipe can withstand the steam pressure or if there is a steam leak.

"Shuping, what's the radiation level?"

"The temperature of the shield has risen, but the gamma ray levels are still under control. The neutron detection is normal, and the detection of each module is still ongoing. No anomalies were found. ”

"Okay, keep the power low, continue testing."

Before it is time to unplug the external power supply, the submarine is gradually regaining the ability to exchange and cool the heat to the nearby seawater, and its self-generated power generation can take over the cooling pumps. But during this time, the submarine could not go anywhere, and Shu Ping was waiting to track the pressure and radiation index of each pipeline. If the situation continues to stabilize, then it will no longer rely on external power, and all of the Meteor's missions will be completed. Then, the 419 will increase its power, restart the turbine, and then leave Tanhu Island for the next voyage inspection. In the plan, they will complete Lin Xiuxuan's murderous attack plan in the third part of the test, that is, the longer durability test.

Lin Xiuxuan learned from the radio that the reactor restart had begun, and it seemed to be going well, he continued to observe the frontal enemy ships, and found that they had been waiting for a long time. It seems that there are not just stopping there, there are also small boats coming and going. According to enemy telegrams intercepted by drones, the navy's special police officers from Nanjing were not on board the Izumo, and perhaps they were still doing these things.

Lin Xiuxuan secretly sneered in his heart: "I didn't want to kill more, but you yourself rushed to the funeral." ”

What he wants to get rid of as soon as possible is nothing more than the three traversers who don't know the height of the sky, or the shadow alone, which is a small personal vendetta. The 700 crew members of the Izumo were not what he wanted to kill. For him, the broken ship of Izumo has no special meaning, and it must be destroyed. Of course, in order to hoe the above four, he did not hesitate to disturb history to the greatest extent. He has been worried that Cheng Dayang has no means to kill him in one fell swoop.

Two hours ago, the political commissar sent a perfect battle plan, and they came up with an unexpected plan to save *, kill all the people, and blame the British and Soviets, which seemed to be very safe. He even doubted that only a person like Shu Ping, who was calm to the point of cold-bloodedness, could come up with this way.

"Team leader, they've arrived."

Behind him, Ma Qiang said.

On the bridge, Lin Xiuxuan immediately turned the telescope 180°, and after a while, he saw that on the dirt mountain in the distance, there was a person who also searched here with a telescope, and the objective lens flashed with green light, and the low-light equipment on both sides exposed both sides at the same time. Lu Qingshan and Xu Chong finally arrived across Pudong. Due to a slight error in calculation, before Lu Qingshan set off, he only brought one day's rations, I don't know how they survived these more than 50 hours, and did they use a violation of discipline to obtain what the peasants planted in the fields? But this kind of trivial matter, Lin didn't want to ask.

The two disappeared into the hill one after the other, and after a while, they were already on the beach, and when they climbed into the boat, they were covered in mud.

"Team leader, good guy, you let us bypass the puppet army territory and run more than ten miles, do you have anything to eat?"

Xu Chong got on the boat and began to complain, and Ma Qiang next to him hurriedly found dry food.

"When are we leaving? Is it restored over there? ”

"The boat is still stuck here, and we'll have to wait an hour or two for the tide to rise. In addition, the enemy warships outside were blocked, and they could not get out. ”

Lu Qingshan raised his binoculars and saw several enemy warships not far away.

"Team leader, are you sure those enemies are up there?"

"Well, why is it so smooth, the call was intercepted, and it was the voice of Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, where was he. It is estimated that he will not live to the day after tomorrow. ”

"Which one?" Lu suddenly asked a strange question.

"Which other ship, of course, is Izumo." Lin seemed to be a little disdainful to explain, "Shadow Zuo is such a cunning guy, of course he will pick the steel plate in the end, the safest, you let him change the destroyer for a thousand tons, will he agree?" ”

"That is, where is the destroyer going to save his life? In fact, this tonnage is not a destroyer at all, that is, a frigate that is larger than a gunboat. ”

Xu Chong, who stuffed a mouthful of biscuits, agreed.

"Team leader, how's 419?"

"The reactor is being started and will come out of Hangzhou Bay in the early hours of tomorrow morning. I hope that the enemy will stay here for a little more tonight, so that it will take less trouble, and if I don't get rid of these people, I won't be able to sleep soundly. ”

"Do you have any specific plans?"

"It's already there, follow the enemy, and when they get out of the coastal fighter escort radius, we'll talk to them and make them think it's an allied submarine, and then sink Izumo in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive."

"Hey, I knew that there were these troubles, and the first time I bumped into it in the prisoner car, I should have ...... It also saves a lot of trouble. Xu Chong said.

"Hey, where did you know so much earlier," Lu Qingshan retorted, as if he was looking for steps for the team leader.

"Didn't you know if you crossed over?"

"Kasugamaru crossed over, and as a result, drowned more than 200 Japanese, did they already know?"

"Don't fight, just wait slowly, within 72 hours, you will definitely be able to solve them once and for all." The boatswain grew out to play the round.

The boatswain's words touched Lin Xiuxuan slightly, and he suddenly remembered what Shu Ping said that day: Sato's mathematical model implies that once history is disturbed, there will be no solution once and for all. As a result, he couldn't help but worry that the restart of 419 would not go well.

At the same time, the restart of 419 is unusually smooth. In particular, Cheng Dayang's heart was that there was no detection of the shielding dead end, and there was no weak link that allowed the restless neutrons to leak out and collide in the entire submarine. The radiation level in the aft chamber was almost the same as it was before the failure, and there was no excess ionic radiation detected as the chain reaction restarted. In fact, he worries that this is far better than the pressure on the pipeline.

Shu Ping added a lot of dead weight for insurance, which is indeed a bit redundant, of course, he is most afraid to hear this kind of argument, he will tell you that even if it is redundant, it is also his intention.

"Commissar, it seems that the steam turbine can be started in advance to test the greater pipeline pressure." Cheng Dayang was eager to try, but at present, only the minimum neutron reaction has been maintained, and only the generator drives the cooling pump to do the work.

"Let's wait. There is no hurry at this time. ”

"How's your digging going?"

"Almost. Tomorrow as soon as they return, they will bury the motorboat. ”

"I don't know at what speed the enemy fleet will sail, and if we are delayed here, we may not be able to catch up."

"Don't worry, with the Izumo dragging it back, it won't go far, and in our records, Izumo has never exceeded 16 knots."

"Chu Aiyun told me that the last time we sank it was actually the Nake, no matter what, the reputation is very small. The Izumo is different...... I'm really impatient to try Shuping's poisonous trick. ”
