Chapter 484: Sonar Troops

The "water ghosts" of Soochow sank to the bottom of the ship one after another, and continued to their position to scuttle the ship, and in order to increase the intensity of the ship, they used the method of holding the hammer with both hands.

The fastest way to update the novel is very simple, one person holds the chisel, and the other holds the hammer in both hands and chisels it with all his strength.

Anyway, there are only six ships left, and they now have twice as many men, so it is better to concentrate on digging a few points with their dispersion.

If it weren't for the inability to concentrate the power of many people on one point, perhaps they would have given up all the other points and kept only one point.

If there was a way to pool all the people's forces and chisel a point, maybe they could shake the bottom of the concrete ship.

However, they did not have such a mechanism at hand, and they had to rely on the most primitive hammers and chisels to work.

Although the force of each chisel is greater, there are obvious disadvantages, such as because the chisel and the hammer are not the same person, there is no induction between the two sides, and the hammer is easy to chisel into the hand of the chisel.

Especially in this kind of black light, this is even more of a big problem.

Although the sides of the ship are densely lit with lanterns, such a dim light cannot penetrate deep under the ship, so the visibility of the bottom of the ship is extremely low.

When working alone, people can determine the position of the chisel and hammer by inducting their hands, so even if the light is not good, as long as you are careful, you are not afraid of being hit by the hammer.

These "water ghosts"

He has been trained to do the work of using hammers and chisels in the dark.

However, this kind of two-person work is extremely rare, and they have very little training in this area, which is of course difficult to do.

Before each hammer is struck, the person holding the hammer must first grope the chisel with his hand, repeatedly determine the position of the chisel, and then raise the hammer and try his best to smash the position of the chisel head in memory.

It's a job that's easy to say, but it's hard to imagine.

It can be said that it is simply impossible for an untrained person to perform this action.

These "water ghosts"

But he has been trained to locate in the dark and pick up a hammer by feeling, after all, he uses "water ghosts"

The trick of scuttling the boat is best used at night, so they have special targeted training for night operations.

However, even if they had been trained, it was still difficult to complete this work, because the difficulty of this work was too great, even if they were the best "water ghosts" in the Three Kingdoms

Talent, not everyone can master this skill.

So, it didn't take long for the bottom of the boat to make a few muffled sounds~ Hmph, there were several "water ghosts" with chisels

They were hit by a hammer in the hand, so painful that they even lost the chisel and fell to the bottom of the river, and they themselves even poured a few mouthfuls of water, and had to leave the bottom of the boat and rush to the dark place to surface for emergency ventilation.

Another disadvantage of this two-handed hammer method is that it is extremely slow, several times slower than a single-handed hammer.

In addition to groping for half a day to locate each hammer, the hammer-wielding people smashed it with all their might, and they themselves would inevitably drift backwards for a distance under the reaction force.

So, after each hammer, they have to swim back first, then reposition, and then continue to smash.

In this way, the number of times they can smash down in a minute can be counted with a single slap.

If the hammer in both hands had worked, they would have been able to accept it even if it had been slower, but what they could not accept was that they soon discovered that even if they had used all their strength with both hands to chisel the "stone shells"

The ship still didn't move like a 10,000-year-old tortoise.

Soochow "Water Ghost"

Their hearts sank to the bottom again, and not only did they fear that they would not be able to complete the task, but they were even more frightened in their hearts, and as time went on, this fear became more and more intense.

They have been in the navy for a long time, and naturally know that their group of people will definitely make a sound when they toss so much at the bottom of the boat, especially the knocking of the two-handed hammer, which makes a louder sound, in addition to the two shortcomings mentioned above, this is also one of the reasons why the two-handed hammer method is rarely used.

Although it was already night, and most of the enemy should have fallen asleep, it was impossible for the enemy not to arrange a vigil.

If the night watchmen heard something strange and traced them, and found their whereabouts, they would be dead.

The longer they work, the more likely they are to be discovered, that's for sure, and that's why they're getting more and more anxious.

And now, what they feared and feared had finally happened, and the situation was even stricter than they had imagined, and the Jingzhou Navy not only had night watchmen, but also "professionals" who specialized in listening to underwater sounds

At the bottom of a concrete battleship, a soldier is listening to the bottom of the ship with an earpiece.

This earpiece is made of wood, one end is very large, puffed ~ into the shape of a flare, and the other end is so small that it can cover the ear.

The shape of this earpiece is very similar to suona, and it is also like that ancient bell-shaped stethoscope that has been magnified countless times.

The end of the bell was polished smooth and now clinging to the ground, the bottom of the boat, while the soldier pressed one ear against the small end of the stethoscope, listening intently to the bottom of the boat.

These large warships of the Jingzhou Navy are all sharp weapons of the country, and Guan Gong attaches more importance to them than to 100,000 soldiers and horses.

In addition to the patrols in the open, these warships also have some protective forces that are hidden in the shadows and difficult to spot.

These people who listen to the sound of the bottom of the ship and even the bottom of the water also belong to one of the special protection forces, or special departments.

This department has a very popular name, called the sonar department.

It doesn't have to be Liu Hou's name.

Many people are curious about why he chose this name, and it would be easy to understand if he took the name as Nasheng, and it would be easy to accept the voice.

But what is the reason for inverting the verb?

And the meaning of the words Na and Na is completely different, could it be that the little emperor wrote a typo at the same time, and also made a mistake in the order of the sentences?

However, everyone only dared to feel strange in their hearts, no one dared to say it, and no one dared to ask the emperor why he was named like this.

Given that the little emperor has always liked to give some strange names to his troops, everyone has become accustomed to it.

Each large warship is equipped with a sonar department, and the establishment is ten people, one of whom is the leader, called the department ~ chief, and some people are called the chief according to the convention of the number of people under the jurisdiction of the army.

But the status of such special forces is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the position of their head destination is also much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

The remaining nine men were divided into three groups and worked in three shifts for twelve hours to listen to the underwater sounds.

There were three people in each shift, who were listening in the front, middle and aft half of the hull.

In naval warfare, digging the bottom of the ship is an unstoppable tactic, and both warring sides like to use this unexpected tactic, so this method of listening to underwater sounds came into being.

In the past, when the Jingzhou Navy still used wooden boats, it attached great importance to this kind of sonar force, and the configuration was more.

Now that cement ships are used, there is no danger of being scuttled, and Guan Gong originally did not plan to deploy sonar troops on these large warships, but Liu Hou considered that everything was possible, so he still asked him to continue to deploy sonar troops.
