Chapter 711: Giant creature from the deep sea!! (asking for monthly votes)

"It sounds like metal turning!"

"Are you sure?"

As soon as Gu Ji said these words, several people were shocked.

To know.

The movement that passive sonar can hear is very limited, and even submarine sonar operators cannot specifically determine what it is.

The Asian engineer pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be a sperm whale or a deep-sea creature like a giant squid? After all, there are bubble sounds in the background noise?"

"It's impossible. The echoes of marine creatures won't be very clear. Moreover, the normal habitat depth of sperm whales and king squid is around 1,000 meters. The probability of encountering them at 3,800 meters is too small."

Although Gu Ji's tone was very determined.

But Buller still maintained strong suspicions.

"Mr. Gould, I admit that you have a lot of adventure experience, but the sonar system is not something ordinary people can understand by just listening. It requires a very long training time!"

In fact, it’s no wonder that a few people refused to believe it.

Although sonar can determine the surrounding environment through the emission and rebound of sound waves, it cannot be simulated concretely.

Therefore, I want to determine what the surrounding objects are.

It is necessary to rely on the sonar operator's rich "listening" experience.

For example, if the sound you hear is very crisp and has a drawn-out tone, then there is a high probability that the sound wave has hit a metal object, such as a ship, other submarine, etc.

But if there are marine creatures in front of you, such as whales or schools of fish, the sound that bounces back will be relatively low and messy.

The reserve of this knowledge requires years of training and accumulation.

But what they don't know is.

The special sonar mark Gu Ji just obtained happened to be equipped with an "underwater sound database".

Paired with dual imprints for additional hearing improvement.

Quite literally.

His current sound analysis ability is comparable to that of a top submarine sonar soldier!

"Balulu..."

"The voiceprint moved again!"

Suddenly, the long-haired sonar operator pointed at the information display screen.

The sound wave spectrum above jittered again, and the interval between the two sound waves shortened again!

"Something's wrong! There's a metal object keeping approaching us!"

Gu Ji's heart thumped.

3800 meters deep sea, a movable metal object, could it be...

"Quick! There are other submarines approaching us! Watch the periscope! 2 o'clock direction!!"

"ah?"

The sonar operator was stunned in place. He had no idea how the middle-aged man in front of him could determine so much information through simple noise sonar.

But the next second.

Gu Ji then slapped him on the shoulder, "Go! Immediately!! Captain, control the power lever immediately! Hurry!"

"Do as he says!"

Perhaps influenced by his emotions, Old Buller's face became nervous and he hurried to the power control area directly ahead.

At this time, Gu Ji put on the monitoring headset completely.

With half-squinted eyes, he concentrated all his energy and listened carefully to the ambient noise recovered by passive sonar.

[Mind Scan], open!

Gu Ji directly used his mind to activate the characteristic skill of the sonar mark.

In an instant.

A translucent gray light curtain appeared in front of him. Along with the fluctuation of environmental noise, a picture of sea water flowing around an oblong shape began to slowly appear.

That's right.

This is exactly the 3D simulation scene that the "Feiyue" is currently in.

And with the continuous fluctuation of bubbles and metal sounds.

In the picture, there was a long object faintly approaching to the left front of the submarine, approaching them.

This time.

The long-haired sonar soldier questioned under the periscope console: "I can't see anything. Although the searchlight's illumination distance is limited, at 2 o'clock, not even the sediment on the seabed is floating!"

"It's changed its position! Direction of 11 o'clock! It's going around in a circuitous way!"

Suddenly, Gu Ji once again keenly noticed that the information display screen and the mind scanning screen had changed at the same time.

"Still not seen!"

The long-haired sonar operator hurriedly turned the periscope, but the result was still the same, nothing was found. "And there seems to be a submarine ridge at 11 o'clock. Mr. Gould, are you sure you really understand sonar?"

Speaking of which.

His eyes had left the periscope observation film, but turned to look at Gu Gu, and then looked at Captain Buller.

As if to say: Is he playing tricks on us?

"Is the ridge at 11 o'clock? If that's the case..."

Unexpectedly, Gu Ji had no time to pay attention to the other party's doubts and just muttered information to himself.

at the same time.

The mind scanning screen in front of him also updated with a huge ridgeline in the direction of 11 o'clock.

It's a pity.

Although the characteristic skills can simulate all sounds and mental ideas.

However, since passive sonar can only receive noise and cannot actively emit, it can only determine the direction of the target, but cannot determine the distance and height at all.

"Height, yes! Height!"

Gu Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something in an instant, and he shouted hurriedly: "It's above us!! Old Buller, adjust the angle quickly!"

"Coming!"

Although Old Buller also had many doubts in his mind, he still chose to believe Gu Ji for the last time, so he started the motor engine and turned the paddles at the stern of the boat.

As the bow of the boat continues to move upward.

The illuminated area of ​​the searchlight also gradually moves from the undersea mountains directly in front to the sea surface.

"What happened! Why did the submarine suddenly move!"

"Is it repaired and we can return to the surface?"

"Hey! Tell us what happened!"

The submarine suddenly moved.

It also frightened the tourists outside the control room.

But at this juncture, neither Gu Ji, Old Buller nor the sonar operator had time to pay attention to them.

Only the Asian engineer was left. He picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to start explaining to the tourists: "Dear tourists, please don't panic, we are just..."

"The frequency of the sound is getting higher, it's getting closer! It's still in the direction of 11 o'clock!"

"But I didn't find anything!"

"Old Buhler, move up, move to the left!"

"The submarine moved up 5 and left 10..."

"The frequency is faster again! Periscope! Periscope!"

"I'm looking for it! Damn it, there's still nothing, nothing!!"

In the process of Asian engineers comforting tourists.

Gu Ji urged the two of them sentence by sentence, speaking faster and faster, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

At the end, the long-haired sonar operator shouted hysterically.

"Then look for it again! Search carefully for me!!"

Gu Ji also became popular.

Because the sound frequency displayed by passive sonar has reached a very high value.

Combined with the current nodes that are close to the system's 5-hour survival time.

This means that danger may be getting closer to them!

"No means no! This is the fact!"

The long-haired sonar operator roared angrily and left the periscope observation station directly, "Mr. Gould, are you sure that the results you heard are accurate..."

"Wait! What is this sound!"

Suddenly.

Captain Buller, who was in charge of driving, suddenly interrupted him.

The quarrel ended abruptly!

The next second.

A huge churning sound of bubbles seemed to come from above the submarine.

"Look! What is that!"

"Oh my God! What a big black shadow!"

At the same time, the tourists outside the control room also exclaimed.

With an expression of disbelief on his face, the long-haired sonar operator sat back in his chair and put his eyes on the periscope observation platform.

Just for a moment.

His eyes widened, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

In his field of vision.

Scan the light screen with Gu Ji's mind.

A huge dark shadow quickly approached from the left side of the head, like a giant underwater beast, pressing in with an unstoppable momentum!

"Damn! It's a large submarine! Military!!"

"It's coming for us! Run! Push right at full speed!!" Gu Ji suddenly took off his headset and roared almost at the top of his lungs.

"Full right, full push!!"

Old Buller's face was completely white at this moment. He gritted his teeth and shouted while pushing the kinetic energy joystick to the end.

In an instant.

There was a harsh motor noise coming from the mechanical compartment at the rear of the submarine.

At full power, the power blades and side thrusters stirred the water flow at the highest speed, pushing the Feiyue to the right with all their strength.

At that moment, Gu Ji felt that the entire submarine was like a tumbler.

The bewildered passengers in the cabin were even more shaken by this huge centrifugal force.

"Still approaching! Still approaching!! Estimated fifty feet! Forty, thirty-five! Damn it! It's too big, at least seventy or eighty meters long. If it really hits us, we will definitely die!!"

The long-haired sonar operator kept reporting visual estimates of the distance.

Thirty-five feet, ten meters away! !

And this distance is still shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Thirty! Twenty-five, captain, getting closer!"

"Stop shouting! Damn it, I've already pushed the power to the end!!"

Old Buller cursed loudly, but the exposed veins on the back of his hands proved that he was extremely anxious at this moment.

However, from the beginning, the Feiyue was only used as a deep-sea submersible and did not have the ability to sail across the ocean, so the motor propulsion power was extremely low.

And here is the deep sea of ​​3800 meters.

Even though Old Buller had tried his best to speed up and avoid it, the boat seemed to be stuck in the mud and was tightly bound by an invisible force, making it difficult to move!

"Twenty! Fifteen!!"

"Old Buller! Plunge down! Stay close to the bottom of the sea!!"

The words just fell.

Gu Ji suddenly shouted loudly.

Old Buller's cheek muscles twitched and he rejected it directly: "No, if we hit the dark stone first, we would be more likely to be squeezed flat!"

"Ten! Nine! Eight..."

"They will hit rocks too! We can only take a gamble! Otherwise we will die! Hurry! There is no time!"

"Five, four..."

"Ah! I'm so crazy! I'll hear you for the last time!!"

Faced with the pressure of the death countdown, Old Buller roared and pressed the steering column directly down to the end.

In the blink of an eye, the submarine plunged downwards.

With a sense of weightlessness, the long-haired sonar operator's expression became more and more distorted, and in his dilated pupils, apart from the accumulated fear, was the growing black shadow: "Three, two, one, it's about to hit! "

"Everyone! Hold your head and hold on tight——!!"

"Boom——! Buzz——!"

The moment Gu Ji shouted.

A deafening loud noise echoed on the bottom of the sea, as if a giant beast on the bottom of the sea was roaring.

The Feiyue submarine is like a car that was hit by a heavy truck.

The people in the boat seemed to be thrown into another world under this huge impact force, their bodies flying around in the air, as if they had lost gravity, and they were being played with.

The screams and shouts of the tourists echoed in the boat, but were soon drowned out by the huge crash.

Their eyes widened in horror, trying to grab something to steady themselves, but everything around them was spinning and flying wildly, making it impossible for them to start.

At the last moment when Gu Ji was about to fall into a coma.

He only felt his back hit a sharp edge, and the strong sting brought him back to reality.

Accompanied by a harsh sound of teeth grinding.

The submarine rubbed against the ground and finally hit a dark rock.

"Uh-huh..."

"Gululu... buzz! buzz! buzz!"

Gu Ji clutched his back, pushed himself up from the ground that was unclear whether it was the ground or the wall, and shook his head desperately, trying to regain his thinking as soon as possible.

But the first scene when he opened his eyes.

What he saw was the deformation and bulging of the huge steel plate under his feet.

The control room was dark, with only the flashing red light of the alarm and the "gurgling" sound of water pouring in from nowhere.

"Oh, are you okay..."

"Captain, hiss! My arm!"

at the same time.

Old Buller and the long-haired sonar operator who fell to the ground on the side also woke up one after another.

"Quick! Check the hull quickly! Water is pouring in!!"

Gu Ji hurriedly called for help.

The Asian engineer gritted his teeth and stood up, took out the flashlight from the tool bag on his waist, opened it, and was shocked by the huge bulge below.

No.

To be precise, this should be the left side wall of the Feiyue submarine.

Yes.

The huge impact just now caused the submarine to roll several times in the water, and finally tipped sideways into the sand on the seabed.

"The carbon fiber outer shell and outer observation window must have been damaged, and the high-strength steel inner liner has also been severely deformed. The water pressure followed the broken outer window and poured water into the mezzanine space. Once the inner window cannot withstand the pressure, it will collapse at any time. They will all explode, and when the time comes we..."

The Asian engineer became more and more panicked as he spoke.

No one will be afraid when he learns that death is really coming.

"We are finished. If a large military submarine fires a torpedo at random, we will definitely die!" The long-haired sonar operator fell to the ground, as if he had resigned himself to his fate and was waiting for death.

"We still have a chance!!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Ji suddenly grabbed a metal chair leg scattered on the ground and hit the high-strength steel shell of the submarine hard, "Dong Dong Dong! Dong——! Dong..."

Asian engineers also fell into despair.

He looked at Gu Ji's tapping movements and asked half-consciously and half-mockingly: "What are you doing, Mr. Gould? You don't think you can knock back the dents in high-strength steel, do you?"

"Shut up!"

Gu Ji scolded and continued to knock on the steel plate.

But Old Buller opened his eyes slightly, "Three shorts, three longs, three shorts, wait! Are you sending a distress signal to the other party?"
