Chapter 107 Communication(1/2)
"Air strike! Hurry up and defend air!"
"Removal of all the ammunition on the deck! If you can't withdraw, you can just push it into the sea!"
The deck of the Ark aircraft carrier was in a mess, and the weapon level of this aircraft carrier was really at the level of World War II. I don’t know if it was the builder’s special preference or ability issue.
Lack of automated air defense weapons, the air defense of this aircraft carrier relies entirely on manual observation, shooting, loading of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
The air-defense machine gun is relatively simple. In a short period of time, five groups of air-defense machine guns have begun to shoot in the direction of enemy planes.
However, even if these two jet fighters are behind, they are still technologies with generational differences compared to the Ark aircraft carrier.
They swept rapidly from different directions, and the rate and range of air defense machine guns could not keep up with the trajectory of jet fighters at all.
Even the two anti-aircraft guns that started to fight in a hurry, after finally solving the messy problems such as stuck, the jet fighter had just arrived above their heads after firing few guns.
At the same time, the jet fighter jets began to fire unscrupulously, although the weapons equipped by the two fighters were not very strong.
However, the cannon was fired on the aircraft carrier deck. Although it could not completely penetrate the steel deck, it could tear the aircraft, vehicles and personnel above it.
What's worse is that the jet fighter's cannon was indirectly loaded with some incendiary bombs, hitting propeller planes with wood as the main material, instantly turning those planes that had no time to transfer or take off into balls of fire.
The people who were directly killed at this time were lucky. The worst of all were those poor people who were also burned into fireballs. Now they had no companions to have the energy to estimate them.
The aircraft carrier decks were fighting on their own. Some were trying their best to use the remaining air defense weapons to fight back, while others began to organize fire brigades and began to spew water to extinguish the fire with water pipes at the balls of fireballs.
What scares them the most now is not the two advanced aircraft raging in the sky, but some of the ammunition placed on the deck before for attack.
Even if the ammunition is not too heavy, there are some bombs and torpedoes inside. Once the fire spreads and detonates these ammunition, the aircraft carrier deck is likely to be blown up.
At that time, the fire will spread toward the inside of the ark filled with combustible materials, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
On the jet fighter, the two pilots were very excited.
One person smiled and said, "Damn, what kind of second-hand man is the aircraft carrier of World War II? Do you really treat the end of the world as a child playing house?"
The other person was even more excited: "I used to think about what would happen if an advanced aircraft would face a aircraft carrier in World War II, but I didn't expect that today we could achieve it.
I have to say that once technology has formed a generation gap, the gap is really comprehensive. We are simply beating children now."
"Don't be excited, the command center told us not to fight and return as soon as possible, as if they had discovered a more threatening enemy.
Now our focus is on dealing with stronger enemies. Even if we sink this aircraft carrier, no one will celebrate us."
"Okay, let's have some fun work? Leave all the rockets for them. I guess the fire alone will destroy this aircraft carrier."
Two jet fighters flew in a very beautiful crossover, while diving towards the aircraft carrier from opposite directions, and then shooting wildly at the carrier deck with their mounted rockets.
The power of the rocket is not comparable to that of the machine gun. At this time, the extremely saturated rocket bombarded the ammunition on the aircraft carrier deck that was not enough to deal with.
Small clouds of mushrooms rose, and the explosion caused both jet fighters to tremble.
They hurriedly pulled up, turned a blind eye to the wooden propeller planes that were still circling like flies before they took off, and accelerated toward the return direction.
The rounds of explosions on the deck directly overturned the fire extinguishing team that had been organized, and the fire extinguishing operation was terminated. What's even more terrifying is that the concentrated explosion of the bombs led to the most terrible result, that is, the aircraft carrier deck was penetrated by its own ammunition.
Below the entrance of the cave is the hangar. The planes parked inside are all made of wooden structures, as well as various flammable textiles, etc., and are immediately ignited by the flames drawn from the entrance of the cave.
The ark, which was already in chaos due to air strikes, was completely crazy at this moment.
The crew of the Ark aircraft carrier, whether in military positions or civilians, are at this moment and can only keep trying to put out the fire in fear.
In the bridge of the Ark aircraft carrier, the commander that was indiscriminately built was looking for their backbone, and they were proud and admired by the commander.
But after searching for a long time, when the commander was confirmed to be in the bathroom, no matter how they called, the commander did not respond to them.
In this case, someone realized something, laughed hysterically and rushed out of the bridge, finally looked at the flight deck covered by fire and smoke, and then climbed over the railing and jumped towards the sea.
Some people are crazy, but some are calm.
At this time, the commander's performance made some people fully understand that relying on others alone cannot survive in the end of the world.
Finally someone stood up to try to stabilize the situation: "The current fire only exists in the flight deck and the hangar deck. The internal structure of the ark is thoughtful, and such a fire is not enough to destroy the ark.
We cannot continue to be in powerlessness, we must take responsibility.”
His words made some of the smart officers wake up and began to save themselves.
The radio of all members was opened, the elderly and weak were asked to move to a safe area and close the hatch door to form an isolation belt. All young and strong people had to risk participating in the firefighting operation. At this time, everyone was no longer the dream aircraft carrier sailors, but just a group of ordinary people who were trying to survive in the doomsday.

"The command center, here is the duck. Look at what I found."
The seaplane maintains a low-altitude flight attitude, not because it cannot fly high, but because this flight method is least likely to be detected by air defense radar.
When Lu Yu's Ark's seaplane discovered the powerful ark fleet more than 100 kilometers away, the crew members did not do anything extra.
They calmly communicated to the Ark Command Center and transmitted the captured images at the same time.
Thanks to day-to-day training, although this is the first time I have seen a powerful enemy, the seaplane is not timid.
Instead, according to the established plan, three reconnaissance buoys and six mines were thrown into the sea before calmly retreating towards the ark.
At the Ark Command Center, no one discussed it after seeing the scene sent back by the seaplane.
In the picture are three arks with similar styles to ordinary arks, each of which should have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.
From the picture, each ark is fully armed, with artillery, missiles, etc., and several aircraft can be seen on the deck of each ship.
Although these aircraft are not very advanced in style, they should have reached the level of jet fighters in the 1970s and 1980s.
This is a very good object, which allows Lu Yu and the others to judge the technological level of this ark fleet.
Lu Yu asked Ross: "Ross, what do you think?"
As the military chief officer Lu Yu focused on training, Ross pondered for a moment: "From these aircraft, their reconnaissance efficiency should be higher than that of us, but we have not discovered their actions so far.
I personally have two guesses about their intentions. One is that this fleet is not the one we intercepted with a strong desire to fight.
Another guess is that they may have discovered enemies that are more threatening than us, so they choose to ignore us and deal with greater threats.
Now we are in the fog of war. If we are not careful, we may encounter a battle between life and death in the next moment."
Lu Yu leaned on the back of the chair and pressed his nose: "Our radar observation distance is 200 kilometers, and our air defense missiles can deal with six to twelve targets at the same time.
Our cruise missiles can reach a range of 300 kilometers under the guidance of the aircraft, and our torpedoes can attack targets within a depth of 200 meters underwater.
Our arsenal also has 168 missiles of various types.
We also have rockets and cannons...
Well, I want to prepare more advanced weapons, so will we be more at ease?
But war never waits, war never comes in the next moment.”
Hearing Lu Yu's contempt, Ross dared not speak easily. He could feel that Lu Yu was thinking about how to lead Fang Fang out of the fog of war and lead everyone to live smoothly.
"The duck has sent back the news, the frogs and sea turtles are still searching, and the remaining seaplanes will be sent out."
"yes!"
"Open the radar and let all cruise missiles stand by."
"yes!"
"Contact the ark fleet using the public channel and ask for a commander-level dialogue."
When Lu Yu said this order, the command cabin was in an uproar.
Even the calm old captain couldn't stand: "Mr. Daniel."
Lu Yu stood up with a smile: "Everyone calm down. Under limited conditions, we must gradually break the fog of war.
Since the other party has not taken the initiative to attack us, there is a chance to negotiate. Let's give it a try. Maybe we won't have one more friend, but maybe we can have one less enemy.
Of course, all our weapons must be on standby and make the worst plans, but we must strive for the best results."
———
"His Excellency Commander, we detected the radar signal, which was the ark that the aircraft had detected before."
"What?" The commander of the fleet with three arks was looking at the charts while scratching his curled blonde hair.
On the chart, in addition to marking Lu Yu's ark, two marks were made in their other two directions.
One of the marks was marked with a fire symbol, which was the unlucky Ark aircraft carrier.
Another mark is a red exclamation mark, which was written and painted by the commander in pencil countless times and was smeared.
Now that he heard the news, he thought of something and ordered: "Upgrade the air defense status and pay attention to the movements of the ark."
Before he could finish his words, someone reported again: "Your Excellency Commander, we have received a communication request, using the communication code of the merchant fleet when we were sailing in the high seas."
"this?"
"Your Excellency, they requested a commander-level dialogue."
At this time, the adjutant next to him suggested: "Your Excellency, why don't you let me try to contact them?"
The commander rubbed his nose and rubbed a ball of dander. It was not just him recently, but everyone was in a bad condition.
I have been wandering at sea for several months and have been mentally and nervous for a long time to deal with various dangers. Due to the shortage of materials, everyone's food ratio can only barely maintain their lives, so there is no need to care about nutrition.
He patted the adjutant on the shoulder: "Arrogance will let us go into the abyss, kid, they turn on the radar to tell us that their weapons have been aimed at us."
To be continued...
