Chapter 541 Drake Channel! (Seeking a monthly ticket)
The first generation of 091-class nuclear submarine equipped by the Chinese Navy at that time was so dynamic that it could be detected just after leaving the port. It was just a simple solution to the embarrassing situation of "from nothing to something". Not only did the internal electronic system lag behind, but the most important quiet performance of the submarine was almost no, which was far behind the trend of the times.
Without quiet performance, in war, it is a living target.
But nowadays, after development day and night, the latest and improved 093g attack nuclear submarine, whose boat-borne electronic equipment benefits from the development of the new era, far exceeds the Cheyenne, the later-improved Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine.
The effect in terms of noise is not bad at all, and both sides are at the same level.
"093g? I forgot this. If I could really meet it, I would like to communicate with them so that they can understand the power of the Cheyenne and the US Navy." Deputy Captain Boer suddenly realized the problem when he heard this reminder, shook his head and said.
"Times are changing, and we must not relax our guard."
Yori held coffee and looked at the unfamiliar signal parameters displayed by the integrated sonar system, and whispered.
He was able to serve as the highest commander of the Cheyenne at the age of thirty and major. He was a genius. He not only had a deep naval background, but also had strong skills and forward-looking vision.
Although staying up late on duty made him very tired, his mind was extremely clear and he deeply understood a situation - the times are changing!
The position of our world's number one navy is being challenged. The Chinese Navy, which has the southern waters, is thriving at an unprecedented speed and strengthening its own strength.
The second conventional-powered aircraft carrier battle group is about to have a second conventional-powered aircraft carrier, and the third conventional-powered aircraft carrier is under construction. There are even rumors that the opponent's fourth aircraft carrier will use nuclear power and electromagnetic catapults, and its tonnage and advanced level will reach the same level as that of the Ford-class aircraft carrier.
Of course, Jori doesn't believe this unrealistic remark, but there is one thing that is to try to catch up or even surpass it!
The southern waters are no longer the US Navy's bathtub.
"You are right, Yori, this is a very important consciousness. Chinese people call it a sense of crisis. Our navy must not be addicted to the glorious history of the past. Fortunately, those guys who can only talk and understand the threat."
Boer, who was nearly forty-three years old, shook his head and stared at the young Yori. A sense of gap in his heart couldn't help but burst into tears. He sighed and nodded.
"I have read the famous Chinese book "Mencius", and I like the sentence that I most like." The captain made a calm look inside, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
Boer said curiously: "What do you mean?"
"Born in distress, die in happiness."
In the command cabin of the Cheyenne nuclear submarine with a narrow space, a standard and powerful Mandarin resounds.
Quiet,
silence,
The atmosphere in the cabin is a bit solemn.
"Uh... I don't understand Chinese, this language is too complicated."
After a long time, the deputy captain Boer scratched his head, a little confused, and softly broke the quietness in the cabin: "What does this sentence mean?"
Chinese?
Well, learning this thing is even more troublesome than encountering the fourth-generation attack nuclear submarine of the Russian Yasen class.
"The sense of crisis you mentioned was created two thousand three hundred years ago and has been passed down to this day. I like this sentence the most."
The captain Journey smiled: "Continue to wait, float to the sea at 12 a.m. tonight, stay for 10 minutes, so that everyone can take a breath. Deputy captain, the command will be temporarily transferred to you. I want to go and take a rest."
"No problem, captain!" Boer raised his hand and saluted and reported in a low voice.
The lives of submarine officers and soldiers are common rules in the world. Everything needs to be as quiet as possible. The loud noises in imagination cannot exist at all.
Loud?
Wait for a day and a night of discipline.
...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half a month has passed.
For the Dome Freighter, which sailed in the southern Pacific Ocean in the equatorial range, the only thing that was different after leaving Yongshu Island and crossing the Sulu Sea and Sulawesi high seas was that there was no threat from pirates.
The world-famous Somali pirates are not able to rage in the Pacific Ocean, and they pick up the exclusive synonyms AK-47 and RPG individual bazooka, making a fortune, and rob the cargo ship and extort high ransom.
There is no risk of pirates. The Dome Freighter in the Covered Aries sailed unobstructedly along the equatorial windless belt without any interception, and passed through the range of activities of the US Seventh Fleet and the influence of the Guam base.
Immediately afterwards, the Dome Freighter passed through the waters of northwestern Australia and northwestern New China, and then spanned the southern Pacific region with a width of more than 8,000 kilometers to the Drake Strait, separated from South America and Antarctica.
The Drake Strait, the widest and highest average water depth in the world, is located at the edge of the southern cold zone. One side is Antarctica and the other side is composed of Chile and Argentina. Before the Panama Canal was dug, it was an important shipping channel in the world and one of the golden lifelines in the maritime field.
However, it is completely different from the poetic and picturesque concept in my imagination. Nowadays, the climate of the Drake Strait is already a cold winter season.
The sky is slightly dark and covered with clouds. The surrounding sea is dark blue and almost dark, just like an extremely dark abyss, gloomy and terrifying.
Above the vast sea, there are white floating ice of varying sizes everywhere, with a large number, dense and compact size.
Here, there is almost no trace of anxiety, and the temperature is already minus twenty-five degrees Celsius.
"We'll be at Cape Froward soon, and we'll arrive at our destination in two days. I've had enough of this boat."
The metal railings at the edge of the ship's side were frozen. Zhou Hai was wearing a thick red down jacket and warm pants, a big iconic hat, and a complete set of cold-proof clothes. Looking at the towering lighthouse standing on the land dozens of nautical miles ahead, he shook his head and sighed.
Cape Froud, the southernmost point of South America, belongs to Chile, which has a narrow territory. After twenty-two days of long voyage, the Dome Wind finally arrived here.
To be honest, after Zhou Hai first experienced the freshness of riding a boat, his life later became very boring.
slow!
It's so slow that it's a headache.
It can only sail about 900 kilometers in a day for 24 hours, which is far less than that of the J-10d "Fire Dragon" that flies 900 kilometers in an hour, and is even less than that of civilian flights.
Unfortunately, the plan to arrive in Argentina on a civil aviation plane first would not work at all. There was no way, and there was no direct flight between the two sides.
As for the turnaround?
Let’s not talk about confidentiality for now, what do four Air Force fighter pilots set foot on airports in other countries’ territories?
If something happens, who can be responsible?
