Chapter 712: Silencing? (Monthly vote requested)
As soon as these words came out.
Including Old Buller himself, the three of them were stunned.
The long-haired sonar operator even thought that he had seen it wrong and rubbed his eyes.
But Gu Ji not only did not stop, but handed the iron rod to him, "You continue, quickly!"
"This... Mr. Gould, you must have been hit stupidly, it was the other side who took the initiative to hit us!"
The long-haired sonar operator looked at the steel rod in his hand and was completely stunned.
The large military submarine was obviously going to kill them, but now they had to ask them for help.
It's crazy!
Is it not fast enough to die?
"The reason why it hit us is because we broke into its mission execution area and refused to communicate, so it could only take a collision warning;
Otherwise, if the other side really wanted to kill us, we wouldn't even see its shadow, and a torpedo would have hit us long ago!"
After saying this, Gu Ji snatched the flashlight from the Asian engineer and came to the door of the control room.
Fortunately, Ocean Gate Company did not lie.
The quality of the "Flying Leap" is indeed military grade.
Even after such a severe impact, the frame around the watertight door did not deform much and could still open and close normally.
He pushed open the door of the control room.
The entire cabin was in a mess, with various items scattered all over the floor.
Some people were thrown against the steel wall and completely unconscious; some were hit by flying debris, bleeding all over their heads and screaming; others held the safety rod tightly, their knuckles turned white, their eyes were wide open, full of fear and despair.
Gu Ji frowned slightly.
I only felt a strange smell of oil, blood, feces and urine in the air.
This means that the stern of the boat should have been severely damaged.
That is exactly where the submarine's mechanical power unit and toilet are located.
"Ugh! What happened?"
"Are we dead..."
"Ah, my head is full of blood, who can save me!!"
"Gould, how did you appear here? Where are the captain and the others? How are they?"
In the crowd, safety officer Evan struggled to get up from the ground.
The first thing he did was to clench his Glock 19 pistol, but when he saw Gu Ji coming towards him, he hurriedly asked about the situation in the control room.
But before Gu Ji could speak.
The bald oil businessman Rustam suddenly pointed at the observation window on the roof and shouted: "Quick! Look! It's coming, it's coming again!"
"Ah!"
Accompanied by the tourists' screams of fear.
Gu Ji also saw a military submarine looming in the dim sea above their heads.
Just as the long-haired sonar operator described.
Its size is amazing, at least 70 meters, like a moving mountain, flashing a cold light against the background of the seabed.
Gu Ji could even clearly feel the huge sense of oppression it brought, as if being pushed by an invisible huge wave, making it almost impossible to stand still.
"A size of more than 70 meters, this is at least the level of 041!"
He murmured twice.
Although Gu Ji has always focused on land combat.
But his knowledge of maritime tactics is also not bad, and he also knows a lot about military submarines.
Like the level of about 70 meters.
There are domestic 041 Yuan-class conventional submarines, as well as Japanese Soryu-class, German 214-class, French Scorpene-class, and Russian Rocky-class, etc.
But the appearance of the submarine in front of him.
Gu Ji has never seen it before.
More importantly, the current diving depth of submarines in various countries is generally around 500 to 600 meters, and a few can reach the deep sea of thousands of meters.
And the depth in front of him.
It has reached a terrifying 3,800 meters!
But he can't think too much at the moment.
He found the position closest to the observation window above his head, turned on the flashlight, and began to simulate the Morse code signal of "SOS", flashing continuously.
Although he didn't know which country the military submarine in front of him belonged to.
But Gu Ji still insisted on his theory in the control room just now:
The other party hit the Leap just as a warning.
After all, for a military submarine that is carrying out a secret mission, any unidentified object that invades the safe range can be regarded as an "enemy".
But the Leap has now lost its active sonar and communication functions.
It is impossible to establish communication with the other party.
So in the eyes of this military submarine, Gu Ji and his team are in a "silent state".
And a silent pocket deep-sea submarine appears in the military mission area. What is the first thing that comes to mind?
Spy intelligence!
This is almost the most hated behavior by countries around the world.
So, the other party's wrath can be explained.
And this point is actually what Gu Ji thought of based on the background introduction of the special sonar mark.
In 1992, the collision and sinking of the US and Russian nuclear submarines.
The cause was that the US nuclear submarine "Baton Rouge" was hovering near the Russian military base, trying to find out Russian military intelligence, and it encountered Russia's most advanced nuclear submarine "Kostroma".
Relying on the most advanced sonar system at the time.
"Kostroma" soon discovered the tracking of "Baton Rouge", so the commander decisively ordered his subordinates to ram it, and in the end, 130 US soldiers were almost killed in the sea.
This can be seen from this incident.
Even a superpower would not dare to launch a torpedo rashly.
Because once the fire is opened, it means a direct war, and the "flesh" collision can only be regarded as a kind of driving behavior.
So the long-haired sonar operator's worry is impossible.
"Are you asking for help from the other side?"
"Yes, our submarine has been hit, and the high-strength steel inner shell has been deformed. It can't hold on for long. The only hope for rescue is to rely on them!"
Just as Gu Ji continued to send the "SOS" signal.
Safety officer Evan also asked the same question as Old Buller.
He frowned, and seemed dissatisfied with the answer. "As far as I know, the Norwegian Navy has no military-grade submarines that can dive to this depth. Mr. Gould, you should understand this truth!"
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.
Naturally, he understood the other party's subtext.
As we all know, the Norwegian Navy's active submarines are mainly U-210 Ula-class conventional submarines, with a size of 59 meters and a maximum diving depth of only about 250 meters. It is impossible for them to appear here.
Then, the military submarine in front of us could only be a country that secretly dived into the Norwegian seabed to carry out a special secret mission.
This level of mission is definitely comparable to the "top secret" level in China.
But now they are bumped into by this group of outsiders.
So, in order to ensure that the secret is not leaked.
There is only one way:
Kill them all! !
"I understand, but even if the other party really intends to kill them, they will not be so careless. If I were the commander of the other party, I would at least catch a few people and ask them about the situation;
Then, as long as the two sides can establish communication, with the identities of the people on our ship, the probability of survival is still quite high!"
Having said that.
But Gu Ji is not 100% sure in his heart.
After all, there are not a few civil airliners and cruise ships that have been destroyed in history because of "military mistakes".
Seeing that the five-hour survival limit is getting closer and closer.
Gu Ji's inner tension is getting stronger and stronger.
Just because his current impact factor has begun to rise again and has reached "0.34".
If the rescue fails, the submarine will implode.
When he starts the second round, the value will be increased again.
Then, there will be a risk of exposing his identity! !
"Gululu..."
"Look! Something is opening at the bottom of it!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
The tourists saw a door suddenly opened at the bottom of the huge military submarine hovering above their heads.
The next second.
A black shadow about seven or eight meters in size broke away from the bottom of the submarine and slowly approached them!
"It's coming down! It's coming down!"
"Damn! Isn't this a bomb?"
"With such a large size, it can't be a torpedo, but it looks like..."
"It's a shuttle boat!!"
Just as Thompson hesitated, Gu Ji replied to him bluntly.
Security officer Evan's pupils shrank.
Looking at Gu Ji with some horror.
Because.
Gu Ji made the right bet!
The other party sent a shuttle boat down now, which must be to capture a few living people and interrogate them to understand the situation.
A military submarine like this that can lurk in the deep sea.
They often have docking functions.
The so-called "submarine docking" is actually a type of submarine rescue, somewhat similar to aerial refueling of aircraft.
However, under the strong pressure of the deep sea, the process will be more complicated.
It is necessary to send a micro-submersible to approach the docking target first, then lock the docking point and fix the hatch, and the firmness and sealing of the connection between the two must be ensured.
The next step is self-pressurization.
Make sure that the internal pressure of the submersible is consistent with that of the submarine in the accident.
Otherwise, if the pressure is not mutually connected, it is likely to cause an implosion or collapse due to excessive pressure difference if the hatch is opened rashly.
When the internal pressure is consistent.
You can use the hatch to let the trapped crew climb into the submersible and return to the sea or the military mother ship in front of you.
Sure enough.
Gu Ji just shouted this word.
The red docking submersible has arrived above them, and then a circular mechanical pipe extends from the bottom, like an octopus's suction cup, firmly attached to the escape port of the Feiyue submarine.
New submarines like the Feiyue are equipped with different docking ports from the beginning of their design.
"A docking boat? Is it here to pick us up? So, we are saved!!"
"Great! I have to leave this damn place quickly!"
"I see that the area of this boat is not very large. How many people can it take at a time?"
"It shouldn't be a problem to put ten or eight people on it. Anyway, two turns are enough, and everyone will be saved!"
I don't know if the tourists have not yet recovered from the collision just now.
Or they are so scared that they don't care about the purpose of the other party's rescue.
As long as they hear that they can leave.
They are so excited that they don't even feel the pain on their wounds.
But this excitement didn't last long.
It was interrupted by a sudden sound of metal twisting.
"Creaky!"
"Wait! What's the noise?"
"It should be the sound of the machine being connected?"
"No, the sound seems to come from below... Is this submarine going to explode?"
As soon as this was said,
Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.
One by one, they hurriedly rushed to the connection point, pushing and vying with each other, trying to be the first to leave, without showing any sign of joy and humility.
"Everyone! Stay calm!"
When this scene happened, Evan, as a security officer, immediately raised the gun in his hand and tried to cool down the atmosphere.
But Gu Ji heard the "chichi" sound of supercharging at the connection port.
Anticipating that the connection was about to be opened, he quickly pressed down Evan's arm, "Quick! Put the gun away, this thing is too threatening!"
The words just fell.
Just hearing a "bang", the steel plate of the circular connection port was finally opened.
Rustam hurriedly pulled his model girlfriend and squeezed under the entrance of the passage.
But just when he was grinning and preparing to go up.
The muzzle of a pitch-black gun was pressed against his head.
"Give me Neculi!"
This is...Russian?
Hearing the scolding from the owner of the gun, Gu Ji's pupils narrowed sharply.
Although he is not as proficient in Russian among the languages he currently masters, the unique curling tongue pronunciation of Russian is still easy to hear.
Subconsciously, he looked up again at the mothership hovering above.
You know, Russian submarines are very famous in the world.
What are the "Typhoon" level, "North Wind God" level, "Delta" level, "Yasen" level, etc...
But in his impression, there was no submarine that could completely match the appearance and characteristics of the guy in front of him.
"Don't! Don't shoot! I don't mean any harm!"
Rustam was so frightened that he raised his hands on the spot and kept repeating Arabic.
"Who knows what he's talking about?"
"He's telling us to stay still."
Just when everyone said they didn’t understand each other’s language.
Among the tourists, a blond man with blue eyes suddenly started to translate in English.
Gu Ji glanced at him.
Then I remembered that when listening to Thompson and the others talking earlier, this guy had mentioned that he was a wealthy businessman engaged in the timber business in Russia.
"Mr. Abramovich, please translate for us. We are all civilians and just want to survive!"
Rustam has long lost his previous vigor.
Now I can only place my hope on the blond Russian.
"He's asking us who's the captain?"
"Looking for me?"
At some point, Captain Buller and the three long-haired sonar crewmen also came out of the control room.
"Mr. Captain, he asked you to raise your hands and climb in!"
Upon hearing this, security guard Evan immediately squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to remind Old Buller not to go in rashly.
Because once you get into the tender.
It is equivalent to completely falling into the control of the other party.
But Gu Ji keenly noticed something was wrong.
According to tactical thinking, the first reaction of Russian soldiers when opening the channel is to confirm and eliminate risks, such as weapons, dangerous goods, etc.
But the other party just let the captain go up first.
If they arrange for someone to get in with a bomb vest at this time, wouldn't they directly control the Russian tender?
Unless there are more dangerous factors, the priority is higher than weapons!
That can only be...
"I'm coming!!"
