Chapter Nine hundred and seventy-eighth!
The current diving depth is 72 meters. According to the high-precision hull terrain digital simulation system, the seabed terrain ahead is constantly changing, the terrain appears as a seabed basin, and the depth continues to increase.
In addition, the boat navigation system shows that the current submarine navigation location has entered the southern part of the Yellow River and will soon border the East China Sea.
For submarines, the increase in seawater depth is far away from near sea and the increase in seawater depth means that their own concealment increases and can maximize the silence performance of the hull itself.
This is a good thing.
However, this good thing is extremely embarrassing for the sea wolf whose overall strength is declining now.
The highly sensitive metal sensors spread all over the hull have detected thousands of metal cracks. These metal cracks mainly gather above the waterline on the left side of the hull, causing the overall strength of the left shell to decrease by 30% and the overall strength to decrease by 12%.
The overall strength of the local shell decreases by 30%, which is an extremely terrible thing. Once the dive continues to dive, as the pressure becomes greater, the injuries in the left shell area affected by high pressure will suddenly worsen, which will eventually lead to the major tragedy of the boat being destroyed and the people being killed.
According to the principle of wooden barrels, the overall strength is actually virtual. The core factor that can truly determine the depth of the submarine's diving does not depend on the area with the highest strength, but is the area with the lowest strength.
Continuing to dive may aggravate the sea wolf's injuries, causing secondary damage to the left area of the already damaged hull, and causing major accidents.
If the existing depth can be maintained, the sea wolf will never be able to escape the other party's tracking and chasing.
How to choose?
"Fuck, why haven't the damn support come yet!"
Commander Oliver looked gloomy and raised his right hand to look at his watch. More than eight minutes had passed, and more than one minute was left before the next warning torpedo strike. Thinking about the situation he was facing, he couldn't help but curse inwardly. It was too difficult for him.
Too difficult.
Really, he is too difficult.
These damn support should have arrived long ago. Nearly fifty minutes have passed since the rescue signal was sent, and I haven't even seen a shadow.
The Jiashou base is only 800 kilometers away from here. According to the support speed of the fighter, it can fly at high subsonic speeds and only takes 40 minutes to reach.
Damn support has not arrived yet, either being stopped by the other party or being lost.
In fact, Oliver has another option left, which is to float.
As long as he floats up to the sea and raises the flag, the other party will not continue to force him. However, this choice is temporarily impossible for Oliver, although he had the idea of floating up long ago.
The submarine was forced to float to the sea, which is a traditional naval surrender that has been passed down since World War II. If Oliver dared to float to the sea and surrender to the other side, he could be sure that his career and future would be ruined.
You must never float unless you have to.
"Report to the sir, there are 30 seconds left before the next torpedo strike." At this time, the young reserve sonar sailor in the sonar battle position immediately reminded.
After experiencing so many rounds of torpedo strikes, everyone in the command cabin has already gained experience. According to the opponent's strike rules, a torpedo strike will be carried out in about 10 minutes, and warn and force them in this way.
As soon as the words came out, the sailors and grassroots team leaders in the command cabin made preparations for impact resistance as if conditioned reflexes.
Looking at this scene, Commander Oliver was a little silent. These cute children were facing tests again and again in the dark and quiet sea water. In just a few dozen minutes, they had grown into a truly qualified submarine sailor.
This is one of the few gains from this experience.
"Everyone is ready to resist shock."
Oliver took a deep breath and issued another reminder that he had said countless times. He tied his seat belt, wrapped his hands around his chest, curled up slightly, made a standard anti-impact posture, and responded with the first mate around him.
what to do?
What should I do?
"After the next torpedo countdown, 10, 9, 8...4, 3, 2, 1, a torpedo strike in the water was detected, weighing 300 kilograms, the water inlet point...300 meters!" After reading the countdown, a dull and short sound of torpedo entering the water instantly came from his ears. The sound pattern information was extremely familiar. While reporting the basic information of the torpedo entering the water, checking the distance inlet. When he saw that the water inlet point was 300 meters, the sound was extremely bitter.
300 meters!
Another 300 meters!
What is the other party trying to do?
Want their lives?
No one answered these questions that lingered in the minds of sailors.
After reporting the situation, the preparatory sonar sailor immediately pressed the switch of the equipment's safety mode, removed the headphones, and prepared for impact resistance.
"boom!"
The explosion arrived as promised.
The command cabin was violently bumpy, and various military paper documents and signature pens were scattered all over the ground. Most people were forcibly changed their body posture under the action of high impact force, and their limbs and neck were impacted to a certain extent, resulting in soft tissue contusion.
Almost everyone in the sailors and the grassroots team leader were unconscious, and the sailors in the other cabins were also injured to varying degrees.
After a few seconds, the sea wolf returned to equilibrium. The main computer on the boat showed that the hull was hit and moved horizontally 20 cm.
"Report the situation and recover quickly. The torpedo strike countdown resets. Give me the hull data. Children, cheer up!" In the chaotic command cabin, Oliver shook his dizzy mind, came back to his senses a little, and immediately stood up and issued various commands as quickly as possible.
Hearing Oliver's orders, the sailors quickly woke up, and while understanding the situation of the hull, they restored order.
The torpedo strike countdown added on the large screen is reset, and the timing starts at 10:00. At the same time, the onboard computer received data transmitted from the hull's high-sensitive metal detector. The right part of the hull was seriously damaged, and the shock wave caused metal cracks to appear on the surface of the shell.
"Report to the steward, the overall strength of the hull has dropped by 11.8%, and the overall strength of the hull on the right side has dropped by 29%. The sensor shows that metal cracks have occurred on the right side of the hull. The overall strength of our hull has been 76.2%, and the left and right hulls have been seriously damaged. The current shell strength can only support the 150-meter-deep stealth."
"Report to the commander, there was a malfunction in the front auxiliary cabin, three pipeline leaks, the sailors are urgently repairing, and the rest of the cabin is in good condition and no accidents have occurred."
"Report to the Chief, No. 424-435, No. 529-531, No. 596, No. 601-609, No. 630, No. 23 pieces."
"Report to the sonar at the bow shows that the explosion point is 305 meters to the right."
Good guy, the other party is also playing with left and right symmetry.
After listening to the sailors' reports, Oliver seemed calm and light at this moment, and no longer was as angry as he was at the beginning, feeling that his dignity seemed to be being provoked.
dignity?
Sorry, in front of torpedoes, all living beings are equal, and others don’t pay attention to dignity and personality.
"Before the order, the auxiliary cabin will be repaired within ten minutes, the speed will remain unchanged, and the diving depth will remain unchanged. Children, we must hold on, and support will be coming soon."
Oliver looked at the big screen with his eyes, looked at the damaged red area displayed on it, nodded, and looked at the silent sailors, encouraging: "This difficulty will not make us difficult, and we, the best submarine sailors in the world!"
"Yes, sir!" Hearing Oliver's encouragement, the sailors were stunned for a moment, and all their hearts showed a passionate feeling, and they cheered up again.
"Damn support, damn support, please come quickly, if you don't come again, I really can't hold on..." Oliver looked at the sailors who seemed to be full of energy, and he silently prayed that the support would come soon, because he knew that his and the sailors had limited ability to withstand it.
Two rounds of 300-meter close-range torpedo strikes were almost forcing Sea Wolf and Oliver to a dead end.
...
East China Sea, central region.
"Sing!" The sharp and high aero engine roared through the sky, which was the roar of the F100-PW-220 turbofan engine.
Four F-15Cs, fully loaded with ammunition and fuel, were divided into three combat teams, shuttled through the sky, drawing beautiful and elegant arcs, greeting each other with the four J-11BHs in this airspace, and there were two J-10As in the distance.
These four F-15Cs come from Jiashou base.
