Chapter 710 Impact Factor (asking for monthly votes)

Chapter 710 Impact Factor (asking for monthly votes)

I heard the captain calling me.

Gu Ji couldn't help but narrowed his eyelids slightly.

Of course he knew that the other party must be because of what he just said.

Sure enough.

Old Buller came over and took him to the corner next to the control room door. He turned his back to the tourists and whispered in a low voice.

"Mr. Gould, I know you often go boat diving and know the ocean very well, but could you please be careful with your words? Some words may cause panic among tourists!"

"But I think tourists have the right to know the truth."

Faced with Old Buller's dissuasion, Gu Ji seemed quite confident.

In fact.

The reason why he spoke just now was to attract the captain's attention, so as to pave the way for entering the control room.

"If my guess is correct, the sonar and communication equipment have failed since the submarine slowed down, right?"

Gu Ji continued to talk to himself, and at the same time raised the Blancpain diving watch on his wrist, "Nearly half an hour has passed now, but the sonar operator in the control room is operating the periscope, which shows that you are simply incapable of repairing..."

"Cough cough cough!"

Before he could finish his words, Old Buller suddenly coughed loudly, then hurriedly covered his mouth and begged: "Mr. Gould, please, keep your voice down!!"

"Okay, but I need to know the truth..."

"Captain, an important situation has been discovered!"

The words just fell.

The voice of the staff in the control room came from the cabin.

Gu Ji's mouth moved slightly, knowing that his opportunity had come, so he continued: "Perhaps, we can go inside and discuss it in detail."

"this……"

Old Buller frowned, obviously confused.

The submarine control room must not be allowed to be entered casually by outsiders.

This is the same as the safety regulations for aviation aircraft cockpits.

But to Old Buller, Gu Ji's mouth was definitely considered a very "dangerous" existence.

If left alone.

It is easy for those tourists who have been calmed down to panic again. If it is more serious, it may even trigger a more terrifying riot!

after all.

People's desire to survive in extreme environments is very strong!

"Captain..."

"Okay, I can take you in, but you must promise me that you will never move!"

Faced with the urging of his subordinates, Old Buller gritted his teeth and agreed.

After Gu Ji nodded, he patted security guard Evan on the shoulder and looked at the frightened tourists, "I'll leave this to you!"

"Don't worry."

Evan responded coldly, but his eyes always fell on Gu Ji.

Gu Ji could also feel that the other party seemed to have doubts about his true purpose.

But none of this matters anymore.

Old Buller had already opened the watertight door of the control room and let him in.

The moment you enter the control room.

Gu Ji did not follow his habit of looking at the surrounding environment first, but his attention was attracted by the value of the impact factor in the upper right corner.

Because the value at this moment is declining rapidly.

From "0.24", it quickly dropped to "0.13".

What the hell is this?

Gu Ji really didn't understand the calculation logic of the impact factor.

He thought that entering the control room rashly would make him stand out and increase the value, but he didn't expect that the result would be a sudden drop.

But before, he clearly didn't do anything, but the value kept increasing.

If the system does not generate BUG.

So can it be understood like this:

Should he, or the currently possessed character "Gould", enter the control room?

"But why does a military company CEO have to enter the submarine control room? Does this guy have secrets that I don't know about?"

While Gu Ji was doubting himself.

The young sonar operator responsible for exploring the periscope hurriedly stood up, took off his headset and said: "Captain, our passive sound..."

"It's okay. I invited Mr. Gould in. Just tell me."

"Okay, just now, our passive sonar device detected the message from the mother ship!!"

"Quick! Let me listen!"

Old Buller's eyes widened.

This is undoubtedly great news for the "Feiyue" which has suffered continuous accidents.

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows, a little confused.

"So, the submarine's sonar system is back to normal?"

"No, no, our active sonar is still out of action. It can neither actively send out detection waves nor transmit messages to the outside world. Only the passive sonar at the tail of the submarine can still work."

The sonar operator is a young Caucasian guy with long dark brown hair.

Perhaps because of his introverted personality, he was obviously nervous and stumbled when facing Gu Ji's questions.

Somehow.

This scene reminded Gu Ji of that boy Ye Xiaoshu.

"The active sonar fails, but the passive sonar works? What the hell is going on..."

To know.

Submarine sonar systems are generally divided into two parts: active and passive.

The former is located in the hemisphere at the front of the submarine. It actively emits a certain detection signal and obtains target parameters from the reflected echo of the target in the water, so it is also called an echolocator.

Active sonar can accurately determine target distance and detect fixed targets, which is very important for submarines.

Especially the undersea mountain range where they are currently located.

Active sonar can help submarines judge the surrounding environment and objects in advance, such as marine life, volcanoes, warships, submarine wrecks and other obstacles, so that the captain can avoid them in advance.

Passive sonar is generally located at the tail of the submarine and usually exists in a towed form.

It is to pull a long line behind the submarine, which can be up to two or three kilometers long, with a series of sensors on it.

These sensors can receive and process the radiation noise or sonar signals emitted by underwater targets to obtain target parameters, and are also called noise sonar.

Because it passively receives sound waves.

It cannot judge those objects in the sea that cannot make sound, such as mountains, rocks, sunken ships, etc., and its accuracy is much worse than that of active sonar.

"You are right, sir!"

At this time, the watertight door at the bow of the boat was suddenly opened.

An Asian man with round black-framed glasses came out from inside. He should be a maintenance engineer of the submarine.

"I have repeatedly checked the active sonar and there is no damage, but I can't send any signals out, including the communication system, and I can't use it, just like..."

"Like it was blocked?"

Gu Ji frowned slightly.

I always feel that the scene in front of me is somewhat familiar, just like the checkpoint of the Mexican air crash.

When the air crash happened.

The radio system of the plane also failed and could not communicate with the outside world.

The final investigation result was that they suffered an EMP electromagnetic pulse attack from the drug dealers on board.

But if the submarine also encountered EMP.

Then it stands to reason that the passive sonar system and the control instruments around should also be paralyzed.

"Captain, how is it?"

Seeing that Old Buller listened for a long time, he finally put down his headphones.

The long-haired sonar operator hurriedly asked.

Old Buller shook his head and sighed.

"The passive sonar equipped on the 'Flying Leap' is not advanced. It is 3,800 meters apart. It is difficult to receive the message sent by the mother ship clearly, not to mention the navigation chart. But the good news is that the mother ship may have noticed that we have lost contact!"

"It seems that we can only wait for rescue on the spot..."

The sonar operator squatted on the ground in a depressed mood, scratching his long hair hard.

Not only it.

The maintenance engineers and even the captain, Old Buller, also lowered their heads.

On the one hand.

It was the first time for the Feiyue submarine to dive, and such a serious accident occurred. I am afraid that it will leave a shadow in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand.

They are very clear about the difficulty of deep-sea rescue.

Although the mother ship will immediately launch a rescue after learning that they have lost contact.

But if you want to carry out the rescue, you need to find a submarine with docking or towing functions.

This type of submersible requires a long time of preparation for each dive, and it is not a matter of diving.

The preliminary preparations, plus the trip to the accident area, and the search for the exact location of the sunken ship, may take a long time!

During this period.

If the Feiyue submarine encounters any more accidents, the final result may be the destruction of the submarine and the death of people!

"Let's launch the distress buoy first, and the engineer will check the hull again, and then confirm how long the oxygen and power functions can last!"

Just when the control room was in a slump.

Gu Ji suddenly spoke.

Old Buller looked up at him, and seemed a little surprised by the calmness shown by Gu Ji.

However, as the captain, he still nodded.

"Just do as he said. Before the rescue submarine arrives, we need to shut down all additional equipment to maintain power reserves."

Hearing the second half of the sentence.

Gu Ji knew that the Leap was powered by batteries, which is also the power source of most pocket submersibles.

It is basically doomed that the life system of the Leap will not last too long.

Sure enough.

Through the inventory of the engineers.

Their current power reserves can still last for 84 hours on the basis of maintaining hovering.

But the life system, that is, oxygen, is only enough for 15 tourists in the cabin plus three crew members to maintain for 38 hours.

Less than two days!

"I know, I will announce the situation later, so that everyone can keep silent and save energy consumption..."

After listening to the report, Old Buller seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

He picked up the intercom, took a deep breath, and finally told the crisis currently facing the Leap in detail.

"Come out! Get out!"

"Damn it! You are murdering me! Murder!!"

"Please, drive the submarine up, I have a wife and children on land, I can't die here, woo woo woo..."

"Fuck! Didn't you promise that this deep-sea journey would be safe, you liars!"

...

Old Buller had just finished speaking.

The sound of tourists cursing rang out from the cabin outside the door.

However, this time, because of the presence of security guard Evan, they did not rush over to hammer the door.

"Give it to me!"

Seeing that Old Buller was speechless after being refuted, Gu Ji stepped forward and grabbed the intercom and spoke for him.

"Dear tourists, I am Gould. Although we have encountered a deep-sea accident now, it does not mean that we have no hope of being rescued. Think about it calmly. Everyone here is a social elite and a super-rich person. If we get into trouble, it will undoubtedly be world news to the outside world;

Whether it is Ocean Gate Company, our families, or the national government, they will do their best to rescue us as soon as possible. Therefore, what we must do now is to wait for rescue and ensure that no accidents occur before the rescue team arrives. Among them, the most important thing is the life system..."

Perhaps it was Gu Ji's status as a tourist that resonated with everyone.

Or maybe what he said does make some sense.

Gradually, there was significantly less swearing in the cabin.

Gu Ji then continued: "Listen, the current oxygen of the submarine is only enough to last for 49 hours, but this is to calculate the normal oxygen consumption of all of us;

Therefore, from now on, each of us must remain silent, do not speak, and sit on the ground to ensure the lowest consumption of the body. In this state, the oxygen time can definitely be delayed until the golden rescue 72 hours, then the probability of our rescue will be Very big! "

As soon as these words came out.

The first one to be surprised was Old Buller.

He didn't expect that Gu Ji in front of him would actually fabricate the oxygen time. It was clear that they only had "38 hours" of oxygen left.

But very quickly.

He reacted.

It’s still a matter of panic!

If the number of "38 hours" is really told truthfully, it will definitely cause strong panic among tourists, and the closer to the end of time, the stronger this negative emotion will be.

That's when.

The dark side of human nature may force some tourists to do many extraordinary things.

for example……

kill! !

After all, once a person dies, less oxygen is consumed.

When Gu Ji deliberately extended the time to "49 hours", he was actually leaving enough psychological reserves to maintain internal stability in the submarine!

With strong curiosity, Old Buller couldn't help but asked tentatively.

"Mr. Gould, have you participated in rescue operations?"

"No, but for me, isn't this the same as managing a company?"

Gu Ji casually found an excuse to excuse himself.

But just when he was about to continue commanding, the long-haired sonar officer suddenly took off his headset and shouted: "Captain, the passive sonar seems to have detected something!"

"Let me see!"

Old Buller's face tightened and he quickly took the headphones.

At this critical moment, we must not allow any more accidents.

"I can't hear what's going on!"

"Yes, captain, the accuracy of passive sonar is indeed very low, but through information display and control, the frequency of the target's sound has become higher, which means..."

"It means the target is close!"

Old Buller and the long-haired sonar operator were startled at the same time.

Looking back, they found that Gu Ji had been standing behind them at some point.

"Give me the monitoring headphones."

"ah?"

Before Old Buller could react, Gu Ji snatched the headset from his hand and put it next to his ear.

"Mr. Gould, you may not understand it..."

"Shh!"

Gu Ji scolded.

The next second.

"Gululu...Gululu..."

There was a bubble-like sound in the earphones.

In addition, Gu Ji faintly heard a few crisp sounds, "This is..."
