Section 41

At this moment, 30 kilometers west of Binhai City, a military port where the Seventh Fleet of the Dahua Dynasty was stationed in the concave terrain of the coastline was already busy.

The floodgates of the material warehouse set up in the interior of the mountain were wide open, and freight forklifts carried full boxes of physical ammunition out of the warehouse. The soldiers subordinate to the logistics department were very busy, checking the state of ammunition preservation, determining the amount of materials to be claimed, and dispatching a convoy to check with the ship's logistics officers who came to apply for supplies.

These things are just a simple form of walking around in normal times, but when the entire fleet is mobilized under the first-level combat mobilization order, dozens of ships of the entire fleet all flock to it, and this becomes the most troublesome thing.

Even if the military leaders were clamoring to receive the materials they needed as soon as possible, the transportation and application still had to be carried out in an orderly manner, and no one dared to make trouble at this time. Everyone knows that maintaining order is the most efficient guarantee for action, and once there is chaos, not only will the application for materials be delayed, but they will also have to carry a punishment.

After glancing at the busy scene in front of the dock storage area, the lieutenant general standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling viewing window in the duty command room shrugged his shoulders noncommittally with his hands behind his back, and once again lowered his head to read the combat instructions he had just received on the virtual projection screen.

"Commander, the Ministry of Communications has received information that a distress signal from an unidentified ship has been intercepted in the waters of XXXX east longitude and XXXX north latitude, and the signal is sent in the hidden radio frequency domain and open public channels. Do you think we should respond?" the secretary entered the command room, holding a folder with a lone translation of the telegram.

The lieutenant general on duty raised his eyes and scanned the translated telegram, but did not take the folder.

"What the General Staff said. He asked, opening his mouth.

"The opinion of the General Staff is that this is most likely a distress signal from a ship of another country lurking in our waters. To save or not to save is between the two. After all, the earthquake happened suddenly, and it is reasonable for our side to be unable to take care of the upcoming tsunami caused by the earthquake. The secretary said respectfully holding the folder.

"Hey~ It's a good between. It is unknown whether the earthquake occurred so suddenly, whether it was caused by the ship's dropping of fusion weapons in the gap in our continental shelf... How can we stop the mouth of international public opinion if we don't save them? These pen sticks are really a bad stomach, and when they encounter this kind of problem, they will throw a headache to us old fellows. ”

The gray-haired lieutenant will continue to scan the command message on the projection screen with his eyes.

"Let the patrol warships on duty rush to the area where the signal was issued, and if they encounter it, they will take a hand, no matter how you say it, it will be a shipload of lives. If they don't meet them, they're unlucky. ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, how is the emergency evacuation work in Binhai City, and does the local government need us to send in marines to help maintain order?" asked the lieutenant general

"It has been just two hours since the emergency evacuation notice was issued, and the Binhai Municipal Government has not yet sent a message for help, but our surveillance satellite images show that the evacuation work is not going smoothly, there have been many traffic accidents on the highway, and a large number of vehicles are stranded on National Highway 123 and 125 leaving Binhai City.

Local reserve forces have been mobilized at the request and are helping to maintain order and clear blocked traffic. ”

The secretary replied.

The vice admiral nodded, after all, Binhai City is an old neighbor of the Seventh Fleet, and even if he can't take care of the evacuation of ordinary people from other cities in the entire coastal area, Binhai City still has to take care of it more or less. Since the Binhai Municipal Government has not sent a request for help, the situation is under control for the time being, and the regular army is not yet needed.

"How is the evacuation of military dependents?"

"The evacuation order for the base and nearby military towns has been issued, and the attitude of the military families is generally cooperative, and they are actively responding to the call to carry out emergency evacuation. However, some local businessmen and small business owners have other opinions, which are being dealt with by our gendarmerie team. ”

"Opinion? I just want to take refuge in the nearest base, who knows how many spies are hiding in these bastard things. These petty bourgeoisie are just reluctant to give up their own property, and they can't save their lives when the tsunami comes, and they can't let go of this asset. It's really confusing to be coaxed to mess around. Hmph~" The lieutenant general snorted dissatisfiedly, he was slightly angry after being in the top position for a long time, and a majesty suddenly emanated from him, making all the staff in the command room hurriedly bow their heads and be busy with their own affairs.

"Let the gendarmerie let go of their hands and feet, and I'll take care of what happens. I'd like to see if any of the strangers stand up against me. Lieutenant General Commander waved his hand.

"Yes. ”

"You go ahead and let them deal with it as soon as possible. "Lieutenant General

The secretary saluted and walked quickly out of the command room.

"Is the floating ship ready?" is there any news from the Far Mountain ship?" asked the lieutenant general to the soldier sitting on the side.

"The Blaze is ready, all crew members are in position and on standby. The cruiser Toyama has arrived in the area where the incident occurred, and no news has yet been sent. ”

The vice admiral glanced at the combat command screen next to him, and most of the 35 ships of all classes belonging to the Seventh Fleet were still in unready orange, and only three capital ships on daily duty were displayed in ready green, and as for the coastal combat boats on daily patrol, he did not look at them.

"What are the sea conditions in the area where the incident occurred?"

"Satellites show that there is a large area of ocean currents surging in the area where the incident occurred, and the kinetic energy is expected to be at level 12-15, and the maximum level of tsunami waves that may be set off is estimated to be 45-60 meters, which has exceeded the first-class danger line. The sergeant on the other side replied that several real-time satellite images in front of him would generate a new one every five seconds, replacing the old one from the earliest.

"If the Yuanshan ship arrives close to the sea area where the incident occurred in such sea conditions, it will face great danger, and until now our side has still not been able to get in touch with the Yuanshan ship. ”

As soon as the lieutenant general heard the non-commissioned officer below say this, he knew the inner meaning in his heart. The Yuanshan ship has not sent back information so far, and it is estimated that there is more luck than luck.

"Don't wait, let the Chixiao set off, rush to the earthquake sea area as soon as possible to carry out reconnaissance, continue to contact the Yuanshan ship, and don't stop until it is confirmed that there is a problem with the Yuanshan ship. ”

"Yes. ”

--------------------

July 16, 2333 10:53 AM

The missile cruiser Toyama, which carried out regular patrol missions, and the frigate Shimmer Lake, which accompanied them on the voyage, sailed to the earthquake sea area as soon as they received the order.

At this time, the sea surface waves are turbulent like undulating mountains, the wind and waves beat on the solid armor protected hull, making a dull roar, the Yuanshan is okay, at least it can maintain basic stability in such wind and waves, but the Shimmer Lake frigate is like an ant struggling to survive in a stream, and from time to time it is beaten by the waves so that it cannot see the hull, whenever the officers and men of the Yuanshan think that they are going to witness the heroic sacrifice of a group of comrades, it miraculously rushes out of the dark sea water from another wave and stubbornly floats on the surface of the sea.

However, the various peripheral weapons and equipment stacked on the surface of the Weishanhu hull have been largely damaged, the peripheral air defense phalanx and smoke screen launchers have been broken down, and the armed forces department has long disappeared. The tall mast was broken in half, and the signal flag and the weather vane had long since been lost.

"I'm going xxx, such a big wave, is this going to be the end of the world?" The captain in the bridge of the Yuanshan was fixed by a mechanical arm at the waist, barely standing on the command position, and all the officers and men in the command room tied themselves to their seats with safety belts, and the hats on their heads fell to the ground and rolled back and forth with the violent ups and downs of the battleship, and they didn't care.

"Captain, all the crew members have been fixed, and the wounded soldiers are temporarily placed on the fixed bed frame in the medical cabin, but if we don't treat them in time, I'm afraid that a few seriously injured people won't be able to survive our return voyage. The communications officer next to him reported.

I'm afraid that before the treatment is over, we won't even have any medical soldiers. What is the status of the damage in the compartments, and is the ammunition compartment stable?" the captain wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Yuanshan ship is fully enclosed, with air conditioning inside the ship's environment, and the thermometer in the bridge is maintained at 22 degrees all year round.

"Compartments 105 and 213 have cracked and have been sealed in time. The engine room is working fine, but the crew chief says that the sound of the main engine is not right and there may be a mechanical failure. The ammunition bay is in stable condition, and the physical ammunition is well preserved. On the other side, the cabin chief control sergeant in front of the console replied.

"That's fine. As long as I don't blow up halfway through these ammos, we'll be able to hold out for a while. Is the headquarters in contact?" the captain was halfway down.

As a matter of fact, the captain knew very well that the main guns and physical shells on the Yuanshan ship were stored separately by warheads and propellants, and there was basically no danger of exploding in the middle of the ship's operation. On the contrary, if the various types of missiles on board the ship shook violently, he was afraid that the electronic equipment would malfunction and accidentally touch the launch procedure, and the missiles would ignite and launch inside the ship, thus causing a martyrdom.

Therefore, at the first time, the captain of the ship had already ordered to lock the shipboard missile launch program and turn off the microcomputer that came with the missile.

"Report, I have never been able to get in touch with the headquarters, not even the Weishanhu. Hell, even though they were only a few hundred meters away, they couldn't get their signal. The communications non-commissioned officer looked at the large red subtitles in front of him, and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the shirt behind him was completely soaked.

"Restart the communications module?" shouted the captain.

"It's been restarted four times, and it's not a problem with the communication module at all. We are supposed to have been interfered with by communications from unknown sources. The technical lieutenant tapped the keyboard in front of the console on the other side, typing in a scurry command.

"The anti-jamming module didn't trigger the alarm at all, communication jamming, where did the jamming come from? What form of jamming?" said the second officer, pointing to the screen in front of him.

"Radar and spectral detection are all blind, thermal detection... Probably out of service. The reconnaissance non-commissioned officer said.

"Hmm, the radar and spectral fail, what happens to the thermal induction?" the captain stretched out his hand and slid quickly on the touchscreen console in front of him, and soon the spectral image of the thermal detector was projected on the large screen in the bridge command room.

A large patch of heat-sensitive crimson fills almost the entire screen, with only a small amount of orange and light purple mixed in the image, barely outlining an eerie oval.

"What is this?... Something must have gone wrong with the thermal detectors! If that were the case, wouldn't the sea beneath us be boiling?"

"No kidding, we can't see a little water vapor when the sea boils? Not even a bubble, do we? ”

"Maybe it's the impact of submarine volcanic activity. ”

"Forget it, turn off the thermal detector, it's obviously dead. ”

The screen switched, and the big screen was once again changed to project the scene of the wind and waves outside, at which time the Shimmer Lake once again broke free from the entanglement of the waves and surfaced.

There was a light on the top of the bridge of the Shimmer Lake, sending a flickering light signal at the Toyama.

“... Our ship... The damage is serious... Multiple agencies... Severe... Damage... I'm afraid I can't continue to do it... Task... Ladies and gentlemen... Wu Yun Changlong..."

The communications non-commissioned officer translated the light signals, and every word he read was like a mountain, weighing down everyone in the bridge from breathing.

"Reply to the Shimmer Lake, let him not give up, find a way to carry out the breakthrough and return home, and our ship will continue to carry out the mission. The captain said with red eyes and gritted teeth. He pinched the operating platform in front of him with both hands, his five fingers were white, and the green tendons of his blood vessels shook and jumped abruptly.

The communications non-commissioned officer hurriedly got busy on the operating console in front of him. The Far Mountain's bridge signal searchlight is pointed at the Shimmer Lake, sending an optical signal.

However, less than halfway through the signal, another wave pushed the Shimmer Lake into the dark sea, and the white spray and foam that rose into the sky were torn into pieces in the wind, leaving only a gloomy cloud curtain hanging low in the sky and a still dark sea.

There was a huge wave, and this time the captain felt that his waist was about to be broken by the stabilizing robotic arm, and the entire cruiser Toyama seemed to roll in the air, and the images of the sky and the sea on the big screen flipped back and forth.

Rumble~!!

The entire battleship let out an overwhelmed wail, and the piercing sound of metal tearing no longer pierced the eardrums of everyone in the bridge at all times.

Panic, consternation, and fear of an unknown fate instantly overwhelmed the courage surging in the blood, and that sentence of martial luck and prosperity seemed to be a blessing and a curse, in the minds of everyone at this moment, it was like a mockery from fate.

The projection screen in the bridge is pitch black, and outside the three-layer sealed glass porthole, black and white mix occupies everything, and if you look closely, you will find that the white is the countless foam and water splashes that have been shattered.

The dead silence was calm for the first time on the Toyama, and everyone could clearly feel that they were sinking and sinking and sinking with the battleship. It is like a stone that has been thrown into a pond from the sky, and after the initial violent collision and splashing, what awaits him is the dark fate of sinking to the bottom of the pond and never seeing the light of day.

I don't know how long the silence lasted.

The sinking of the hull was gradually replaced by the ascent, and the captain's feet off the ground fell to the floor again, but he still couldn't stop swaying violently with the Toyama.

Hula~!

White splash bubbles poured in front of the screen, slid to the sides, and the sky appeared in front of everyone again. They finally realized how the Weishan Lake felt before and the state of mind of the crew.

It is clear that in the previous few minutes, they had been photographed to the bottom of the sea like the Weishan Lake, but miraculously surfaced.

"Damn, this special mother is excited. Hurry up and check the damage to the hull, seal off the damaged compartments, report on the injuries of the personnel... Forget it! Priority is given to hull inspection. The captain wiped his forehead, and the sweat trickled down his eyes, making him unable to open them.

The command staff on the bridge all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look over there, it's the Weishan Lake, they're still alive!" the second officer pointed to the charming white of the dark sea outside the porthole.

"Oye~!"

The crowd in the command room cheered in celebration.

"Keep sending instructions for them to hurry away. This hellish place is where people can stay. Such a task can only be performed by a floating ship. The captain quickly suppressed his joy and ordered the communications non-commissioned officer.

"The whole ship turned, and we sailed back. I will bear the responsibility for abandoning this mission. The captain gave the order to the helmsman.

"Roger~!" the helmsman's voice was so high that it almost seemed to be howling.

The captain's order was quickly conveyed to the whole ship, and the soldiers in each compartment celebrated excitedly, although they did not know what kind of danger they had just experienced, but the whole ship turned over, and the violent turbulence caused by the fall, as long as a person could sense the danger. Not to mention the fear of unknown dangers.

The cruiser Yuanshan and the frigate Weishanhu turned and began to move away from the sea, and behind them, the raging black waves were still rising and falling, but they had no intention of following them away.

11:49 min

The missile cruiser Toyama and the Chixiao float ship that arrived from the sky met. The Toyama ship, which had once again regained its communication capability, reported the danger it had encountered near the area where the incident occurred and asked to return home.

Rear Admiral Liang Qiming, the captain of the Chixiao, agreed to the return request of the Yuanshan and Weishanhu ships. He also expressed his determination to continue the mission of the two ships.

Seeing the departure of the two scarred colleague battleships, the Chixiao made a bend in the air and turned to continue its mission.

In fact, seeing the tragic situation of the two warships at this time, there was no need for the Chixiao to carry out this mission again, and it was able to damage the two cutting-edge surface ships installed in modern times so badly, and the intensity of the sea tide caused by this earthquake has far exceeded the assessment made by the Central Natural Disaster Bureau.

The only thing that puzzled the captain of the Chixiao was that the strange scar on the hull of the missile cruiser Yuanshan did not look like the hull tear caused by the slapping and heavy pressure of the sea. On the contrary, some of them looked like they were injured by something.

It's just this attack...... Could it be that the earthquake woke up the sleeping sea monsters in the trench?

In the command room, on the side of the hull of the Yuanshan ship on the big screen, the huge depression crushed the wound in a side-by-side oval shape, as if it had been bitten by something without sharp teeth.

The Blaze flew smoothly and quickly in the air, and even the howling wind and waves on the sea could not affect it in the slightest. The low-pressure clouds and turbulent winds in the upper altitude did not have the slightest effect.

The site of the earthquake, which is less than 200 kilometers from the coastline, can be reached in less than an hour under its high-speed flight.

"When did the sea turn black? I didn't believe it when the captain of the Toyama reported it just now. The first mate watched the sea from a bird's-eye view on the projection screen.

At this moment, the floating ship was five hundred meters above the sea, and the undulating waves that seemed like mountains to the ships on the surface seemed to them to be only highly frightening but harmless hills. But that doesn't mean they don't understand the dangers of the waves.

"Record the footage and send it to headquarters immediately. Captain Liang Qiming ordered.

"Report to the captain that communications were disrupted and it was not possible to contact headquarters. ”

"Won't communication satellites work either?"

"The communication satellite signal has been blocked, and our ship has fallen into a communication blind spot. ”

"Are the ship's systems operating properly?"

"All systems on the ship are operating normally, the wireless signal device is failing, and all wired and directly connected equipment are operating without abnormality. ”

Captain Liang Qiming groaned slightly, he looked at the pitch-black sea surface in the virtual projection, and remembered the picture he saw when he saw the Yuanshan ship before, and then flew forward a short distance and entered the black water from the dark blue waters.

"The Chixiao rose to a height of 20,000. Liang Qiming decisively ordered.

"The Chixiao has risen in height, and the airspace is 20,000!" shouted the helmsman.

"The output of the floating engine has increased, and the attitude engine is not abnormal. ”

"The power furnace is running normally, the furnace pressure is stable, and the temperature is 32. ”

A slight feeling of thrust came from under their feet, and the members of the Chixiao ship had long been accustomed to it, and they were still working in an orderly manner, and the dozen or so auxiliary guns on the main armor belt under the belly of the ship were swaying left and right to find possible targets, and calibrating the firing angle again and again. The entire battleship quickly rose into the air.

"Communication was restored, at a height of fifteen thousand. "The communications non-commissioned officer reports. He quickly followed the orders of the previous captain and transmitted the scene of the earthquake-stricken area back to the headquarters of the Seventh Fleet.

The battleship continued to ascend, and in a few minutes it successfully reached the target airspace.

If you look down at the sea, you can clearly see the edge where the dark sea meets the navy blue sea.

It's so weird, the pitch-black sea that appears in front of everyone is a circle with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. In the black sea, the waves are as high as small hills, but in the ordinary navy blue sea on the outskirts of the sea, there are only slightly higher waves.

The Black Sea is approaching the coastline of the Dahua Dynasty at this time, and it is not moving fast, and according to the current speed, it is estimated that it will make landfall at noon the next day at the earliest. This leaves no more time for the evacuation of cities along the coast than can be described as abundant, which is simply too much.

Tsunami currents caused by normal earthquakes can reach the coastline in a distance of up to 6 hours over a distance of 200 kilometers. The earthquake occurred more than 170 kilometers from the coastline of the Dahua Dynasty, and the tsunami will only arrive in a shorter time.

On the contrary, the Neon Country, which is located in the adjacent sea, is much farther away from them because the location of the earthquake outbreak is closer to the Dahua Dynasty, and it is estimated that it will be seven hours away when the tsunami passes. At that time, the neon country, which was accustomed to the baptism of natural storms, should have taken countermeasures a long time ago. (It's all off-topic)

"It's all so abnormal. The second officer, who was the technical adjutant, looked at the charts on the projection screen and muttered.

"I've never seen an ocean like this, it's like a monster lying on the bottom of the sea and stirring up the waves. The veteran first mate added.

"I don't know if there's a monster or not, there must be something wrong here, and I can't get away with it. What do you think was the previous communication jam?" said Captain Liang Qiming, rubbing his short beard on his chin.

"Like an upside-down sea bowl that blocks all communications in that area?"

"Don't you say it's really like it. As he spoke, the control instrument projected a new screen next to the main screen, and he drew a planing map of the sea surface with a virtual light pen, and drew a transparent cover with a dotted line above the sea surface.

"With the black sea as the boundary and the 15,000-kilometer altitude as the top, this is really like a sea bowl buckled on it. ”

The others looked at the figures drawn by the second pair and already understood the meaning of the captain's words.

"The Yuanshan and Weishanhu lost contact with each other because they sailed into the black sea, so their communication was cut off and they couldn't get in touch with us. We were able to communicate normally when we met with them before entering the black sea area, but after entering the airspace of the black sea area, we lost contact with the headquarters and satellites, which is a positive sign of the existence of this communication blind spot. ”

"Blocking communications, the huge tide waves in the sea area that are unusually undulating, what kind of evil thing is this black sea area?" Captain Liang Qiming squinted his eyes, remembering some of the internal information he had learned before. It is about the latest summit-level meeting held by the Dahua Military Department.

The meeting decided on the promotion of new major generals, but it is said that that this was not the main content of that meeting, and the promotion of a major general did not require a meeting of the heads of the entire military districts of the Great Chinese Dynasty.

"Sample 0, Magic Tide. ”
