On the windless sea in the past.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose!

After a gale comparable to a force nine gale.

It's the super big wave that comes with it!

The big waves are even much higher than those of warships.

In the opinion of the sailors on deck.

It's like a wall of water, smashing at yourself in a daze!

A warship with a full load displacement of more than 8,000 tons.

In the midst of the huge wind and waves, there was a creaking wail.

It seems that in the next second, it will be destroyed in the wind and waves!

A huge mushroom cloud in the distance was still slowly rising.

It has reached a height of several hundred meters.

The orange fireball, little by little, turned dark red.

Then slowly dissipate.

The power is comparable to that of a 100-ton TNT explosion.

How terrifying is it?

A common 155 howitzer shell with a charge of 6~10 kg.

Enough to destroy a three-story villa made of reinforced concrete.

100-ton TNT.

Enough to flatten a hill.

And the missile exploded, above the surface of the sea.

The consequences are naturally more serious.

A mini-tsunami was easily unleashed!

The angle of inclination of the warship has exceeded 45 degrees, and it is almost completely capsized above the sea.

Before the explosion, the captain thought that they might be able to fight back with the help of anti-aircraft weapons.

But apparently his idea fell through.

The sailors on board the ship are already doing their best to solve the pipe damage.

However, the sea water still seems to be gushing out like a steady stream.

"Send a letter to the headquarters, the other side is suspected of exploding a nuclear bomb, but our side has not detected nuclear radiation."

On the battleship swaying in the waves, the captain in his last moments.

The commander of the signal corps sent the final message.

"Our warships have suffered heavy losses and are in danger of sinking at any time, so I ask you to rescue our soldiers in the spirit of humanitarianism."

Barely thinking, the captain commanded the signal corps to send such a message.

Sent to an ocean-going experimental ship nearly 100 nautical miles away.

Thousands of miles away in the middle of a launch base.

"It seems that they were lucky, and they narrowly escaped the catastrophe."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the big screen and said at the missile landing point displayed.

"Of course, it's hard to say whether they will be able to survive the explosion entirely."

The officers of the Rocket Force present didn't understand what Zhang Xingyang meant.

"Didn't they escape?

Why do you still say that you want to escape death? ”

Zhang Xingyang said: "Escaping the catastrophe of being directly attacked by the missile does not mean that you will not die in the aftermath of the explosion. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present also understood.

The destruction brought by a missile of such tonnage and power is multifaceted.

It's like a large-caliber heavy artillery on the battlefield.

Far fewer people died directly under the explosion than those killed by the blast and blast wave!

"Shall we let the people on the experimental ship save them?"

The officer thought for a moment and said.

"It's really to be saved."

Zhang Xingyang said after thinking about the impact of this matter.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

You can't just let them die in the experimental sea.

It's their own fault.

But if you really want to pull the skin, it's still very troublesome.

If you can save a lot of soldiers on the other side.

Then whether it is as a hostage or a bargaining chip.

For yourself, it is a good choice.

"As a big country with a sense of responsibility, how can we see death and not save it!"

Zhang Xingyang immediately clapped his hands and said:

"Not only to save it, but also to record it with all photographic and video means.

Let everyone around the world see, our humanitarianism! ”

The order was quickly passed on to an ocean-going experimental ship thousands of miles away via a communications satellite.

"Captain, the base asks us to rescue some of the opposing crews at all costs."

After receiving the order from his superiors, the young man spoke to the captain.

When the captain heard this, he was visibly relieved.

Before the order from the base arrived, they had already made the decision to rescue those who fell into the water.

Because before that, they received the last news from the opposing warship.

Ask the people on the experimental ship to save them!

After that, there was no more news from the other party.

Through the ship's telescope, after the wind and waves of the explosion have passed.

They also used to look at each other's directions.

As a result, only the slowly sinking mast was seen.

So, without receiving an order from the base, the captain decided to save people!

Doing this without an order is still quite a lot of psychological pressure on everyone.

Fortunately, the order to the base arrived shortly after.

"Full speed ahead, ready for rescue!"

The captain finally gave an order to the people on the experimental ship.

Although the experimental ship is not a warship, everyone on board is basically a military member.

Because it is impossible to involve too many non-military personnel in weapons experiments of such specifications.

The few non-military personnel are technical experts.

Before the captain gave the order, everyone had already begun to prepare the equipment for the rescue.

Ropes, life jackets, emergency medical equipment, and more.

Even two dinghys were lowered from the side of the boat.

Began to sail at a very fast speed in the direction of the slowly sinking warship.

There are also several folding inflatable boats, which also begin to be urgently deployed at this time.

The experimental ship is a scientific research ship.

In fact, its own tonnage is not low, as high as more than 10,000 tons.

The loaded materials are also very large.

Especially considering the danger of the mission, even a part of the weapons were equipped.

The first two dinghys were issued with a small number of light weapons.

Two Type 95 rifles, each with a pistol.

This is also to prevent them from encountering some uncontrollable accidents during the rescue process.

You know, the other party is from another country no matter what.

In this existential situation.

It is difficult to guarantee that the other side will not suddenly make any dangerous moves.

For example, snatching the precious crew seat of the dinghy and firing guns for it.

In fact, there are several exoskeleton armors on the experimental ship.

But that thing was too heavy.

After putting it on, I am afraid that the dinghy will no longer be able to sit on people.

So the captain, after thinking for a moment, gave up on this option.

The smoke in the blast area has not completely cleared.

The fire is gone.

Although it exploded on the surface of the sea, the temperature was still very high.

Even if a few minutes passed, but the crew of the dinghy that passed next to the explosion zone.

I still felt it, almost an unbearable heat wave.

The temperature difference causes the air to flow violently.

Creates gusts of wind on the surface of the sea.

The dinghy has to do its best in this wind to keep it steady.

The boat's motors were running wildly, creating a white spray on the sea.

Their dinghy is military.

It's very fast.

However, the ride experience is very poor.

Fortunately, everyone stays at sea all year round to be able to withstand such bumps.

This is also to be able to save people as soon as possible.

The sooner it is, the more people are likely to survive.

However, even everyone did their best to rush to the sea area where the incident occurred as quickly as possible.

But after all, the distance is too far.

Separated by a distance of tens of kilometers.

The captain, who was still on the experimental ship, said helplessly:

"If only we could have a rescue helicopter."

In fact, the experimental ship itself should have a light helicopter.

But because the retrofit time is relatively tight.

Light helicopters were considered a secondary requirement.

After the completion of the retrofit, the customization work has not been completed.

So they don't have helicopters yet.

"Captain, even if we have a helicopter, it will be difficult to take off with such a strong wind."

The young man on the side reminded in a low voice.

The shock wave after the explosion, and the high winds brought by the temperature difference.

All make the helicopter unsuitable for takeoff.

"Just talk too much!"

The captain said after one look at him.

The captain has a lot to do, and he doesn't just have to be distracted from humanitarian relief matters.

Also consider the issue of recovering experimental data.

Before the experiment, they dropped a number of probe balls on the surface of the sea.

It was used to collect the data generated at the time of the explosion.

Now they all need to be collected back.

There are also big problems with the people who have returned from the rescue, where to arrange them, and the medical treatment of the wounded.

It's a headache for the captain.

After more than twenty minutes of sailing.

The two dinghys that were the first to depart had already reached the vicinity of the warship.

A warship of more than 8,000 tons is already considered a huge thing.

The body, which is more than 100 meters long, has now flipped on its side, and more than half of the area has sunk underwater.

Around the warship, there were quite a few people floating on the sea in life jackets.

There were also quite a few sailors on the warship, lying on the railing on the side that had not yet sunk.

Although there were also a few small boats on the warship, they were in the midst of the strong wind and waves just now.

There was no time to put it down, and the battleship capsized.

Either that or simply be shattered by the waves.

"Oh my boy, that's a little scary!"

A soldier on the dinghy couldn't help but say.

He had been in the Navy for many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Before leaving, everyone didn't think carefully about how to save people.

As a result, after seeing people floating on the surface of the sea.

There are also some mistakes.

"Where are we going to save this?"

"Let's start with the most recent one."

"Good!"

After a brief discussion, everyone can be regarded as deciding on a rescue plan.

The first to be rescued was a white guy.

He is not too tall and wears a white life jacket.

I don't know if it was photographed from the boat by a big wave.

Two ribs were broken, and blood was still flowing from the mouth, and I don't know if there were internal injuries.

"Leave him alone and keep saving people."

The soldier in charge of the entire dinghy checked him a little, and hurriedly greeted him after finding that he would not be able to die for a while.

The white guy kept saying thank you after being dragged into the dinghy.

Although he was injured, he also helped when everyone on the boat rescued the people on the sea.

Soon, there was hardly any room to spare on the boat.

Almost all the places where people could sit were filled.

A few people who were not too seriously injured could only choose to half-squat on the dinghy.

The dinghy had a crew of only 16 people, but at this time it was close to 40 people!

More than double the overload!

"Will the ship be able to withstand it?"

"It shouldn't be a problem."

As he spoke, he turned on the boat motor.

A loud sound reverberated across the sea in an instant.

The speed of going back is significantly slower.

If you say that the speed can reach 110 miles when you come.

Then when I go back, the fastest speed is not even 60 miles.

Fortunately, at this time, the distance of the experimental ship was also much closer, and the distance was less than 20 nautical miles.

So the time spent is even much less.

After a number of seriously injured personnel were brought onto the ship by a fixed single frame, and others were sent up with a rope ladder.

The two dinghys replenished their consumables and turned back to continue rescuing the shipwrecked.

On this large ship with a white paint on the outside.

The first wounded to be rescued finally received perfect treatment.

His name is Steve, and his injuries are not very serious.

At first, he thought that the blood in his mouth was a ruptured internal organs.

Fortunately, after examination by the doctor, it was determined that the broken ribs did not puncture his internal organs.

The bleeding was due to the fact that he had broken the skin of his mouth when he was hit by the wind and waves on the railing.

Among this group of rescue personnel, the injuries are relatively minor.

The worst thing is a particularly strong black man.

He was on the deck when the storm hit, and first he was hit on the railing and broke his spine.

Then it was swept into the sea by the big waves, and a lot of seawater was sucked in.

Good hanging to drown.

However, even if he was rescued, he would be a high paraplegic after this.

Because of the injury to his spine, there was almost no medical condition on board that could solve him.

"We've reached the limit of our medical powers, Captain."

The doctor, whose hands were bloody, said to the captain after a simple operation.

"Our various medical devices and drugs are not very sufficient."

The captain was also annoyed.

There are so many people, and it is simply not something they can afford.

"Let's send a message to the country and give them a headache!"

In the end, the captain didn't come up with any good solution.

This problem can only be transmitted back to China.

Two dinghys that returned to the scene of the shipwreck again.

Everyone on the boat was about to be stunned when they saw the sea at this time.

Because at this time, only a small half of the warship is still on the water.

As a result, there are fewer people on the warship than before.

Many people chose to jump into the sea wearing simple life jackets before the warship sank.

Hope will be able to wait for the rescue of the experimental ship.

This is also an important reason why after the dinghy came back for the second time, there were more people on the sea.

This time, they are no longer bailing out regardless of circumstances.

Instead, they first took away the seriously injured who were more seriously injured and could barely hold on to the next visit.

Lightly wounded, after giving them a little painkiller, let them hold on again.

After the boat's treatment was completed, the experimental ship basically arrived in the shipwrecked waters.

The speed of treatment is much faster.

It has taken a lot of time that was wasted on the road.

The ship's medical beds were quickly running out.

Some of the lightly wounded could only be placed in the open on the deck.
