Monster Factory - 1295
Fleet commander Rasit stood next to the sonar monitor, and yelled in some surprise: “Is it… sunk?”
He also wears monitor headphones.
But a few minutes ago, the only sound waves from the earphones were violent explosions. These sound waves were like ocean waves scouring Lasit’s eardrums and brain.
Now Lassiter felt dizzy as a string of firecrackers was set off in his head, and his eardrums jumped so suddenly that he had to roar his voice to feel his own volume.
The sonar monitor did not answer the question, but made a hiss gesture.
He was listening to the subsequent movement of the water.
A series of violent explosion sound waves a few minutes ago may be just a bunch of random and random sound waves in the ears of others.
But in his ears, these sound waves can slowly turn into a three-dimensional “picture.”
First, various types of missiles whizzed along the sky above the sonar buoy, and the air oscillating close to the speed of sound transmits the sound in the sea, and then the missile enters the end acceleration state.
Using the sonar analysis system, he can also find out the abnormal impact sound made by the target ship before the missile exploded.
He didn’t understand what caused the target ship’s impact, but he could analyze that the target ship was attacked by three to five missiles.
It stands to reason that even if it is a 10,000-ton warship that is directly hit by two anti-ship missiles in its belly, it will be completely scrapped even if it does not sink. If another cruise missile is added to attack the top, it will definitely be sent completely into the sea.
When the sound wave of the missile explosion slowly ended, the sonar monitor did not hear the unique engine roar of the target ship.
But……
He also did not hear the sinking of the target ship.
The sinking of a huge ship over 10,000 tons will inevitably emit a very obvious sinking sound wave on the sea.
For example, when it sinks, the metal of a ship is affected by its own gravity, and it makes regular distortions and the sound of dense bubbles floating up when it sinks.
After waiting for two minutes, the sonar monitor still did not hear the sound.
At this time, the surging sound of the huge waves produced by the missile explosion and the sound waves reflected back and forth by the shock wave on the seabed have completely disappeared.
The sea surface becomes quiet again, allowing the sonar monitors to more clearly capture the movement of the target ship.
“Sir, I haven’t heard the sound of the target sinking at the moment.”
The sonarman’s concentrated expression finally relaxed, “So I speculate that the target ship should be in a scrapped state, our missile destroyed its main power system, and now it has become a piece of scrap iron floating on the sea.”
Fleet commander Lassett rubbed his ears and asked him to repeat it aloud.
After hearing the sonar report clearly, Lassiter suppressed the buzzing thoughts in his ears and picked up the monitor headphones again.
After a while, Lassett put down his earphones and said loudly to everyone in the command room: “Very well, our goal for this operation is to capture that mysterious’whale’.”
“Although there were many accidents during the mission, there were also personnel losses that we could not accept.”
“But we finally achieved our goal.”
“We paralyzed the target ship in that sea area. It did not sink. The technology on it is still there.”
“Now we are heading towards the target location at full speed. All personnel in non-core positions wear life jackets and take lifeboats to salvage all the salvageable target ship parts in that sea.”
“Yes~ sir!”
…
At a distance of seventy nautical miles, the destroyer and frigate moved forward at full speed, requiring two hours and eleven minutes.
At the same time, Lassiter also sent all the data and information of the operation back to the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet. Two integrated supply ships and a salvage and rescue ship are approaching here in an emergency.
This is a speed race, and this action cannot be exposed in any way. They want to clean up all traces before the outside world has reacted.
However, the destroyer and another frigate advanced twenty nautical miles at full speed, just over forty minutes later.
The sonar monitor, who had been monitoring the voiceprint of the target sea area, suddenly stood up.
At the next moment, the sonar system began to warn, prompting the occurrence of abnormal sound source signals in the target sea area.
“Long… sir.” At this moment, the sonar monitor was full of a hell look on his face, and he said incoherently: “The target is alive, it comes alive.”
The humpback whale moved again.
When it was violently attacked by shock waves, the heavily protected nuclear reactor located in the middle of the cabin also entered emergency protection mode.
The primary cooling water circulating in the pipeline quickly starts the forced cooling program.
The ultra-supercritical unit emergency shutdown, enters the pressure relief protection mode, and the power of the whole ship is completely lost.
These operations cannot be forcibly terminated by the cockpit control system, because there is no room for sloppy in the safety of nuclear reactors.
Even the monsters cannot guarantee that the reactor’s performance will remain unaffected if the impact intensity of the humpback whale exceeds the preset safety threshold.
Especially the primary circuit cooling water responsible for heating.
The primary circuit cooling water is in direct contact with the core of the reactor, which is highly radioactive and highly corrosive.
Therefore, in order to firmly control the radioactive elements within a safe range, the primary circuit cooling water does not make any contact with the secondary circuit, the working fluid used to power the generator set.
They only circulate in the sealed ultra-high pressure pipeline. If the working fluid water in the second loop is heated, the heat exchanger valve will be opened, allowing the primary loop water to enter the multiple fine hollow alloy tubes to circulate and pass the heat through the alloy. The pipeline passes out.
Then in the event of a severe impact or vibration, the reactor will quickly shut off the heat exchanger valve and force the primary circuit water to cool down to ensure that the internal temperature of the reactor never exceeds the safety threshold.
To restart the reactor, maintenance personnel must enter the reactor room to check that there are no leaks, and that all pipelines are in normal structure, and finally the protection mode can be manually released.
It took the metal experts half an hour to reactivate the reactor. After tens of minutes, the working fluid of the secondary circuit was heated to a supercritical state again, and the generator set was driven to work again.
When the two electromagnetic engines with a total power of 200,000 kilowatt-hours were started, the nearby sonar buoy immediately caught this abnormal voiceprint signal.
This change caught them off guard. For a time, Fleet Commander Rasit did not know whether to move on, or give way to the three warships that were on the other side of Madagas Island to perform defense tasks and turn back to see if there is a chance to be in Madagas. On the west side, re-launch the missile at the target ship.
Commander Rasit believes that since the target ship can be restarted, it must turn around and flee as soon as possible.
At the opponent’s speed, even the carrier-based helicopter cannot catch up, so it is doomed to be futile to catch up at this time.
Then the sonar discovered that the target ship had increased its speed to 130 knots within a few minutes.
They did not turn around and fled.
They rushed towards the fleet.
Are they crazy?
“Damn it.”
Looking at the high-speed moving sound source target on the sonar screen, Commander Lassiter shouted at the crowd: “Notify the cab to immediately turn 180 degrees and evacuate at full speed.”
“There is another frigate, send a signal to evacuate them at full speed at 90 degrees.”
“Damn it, perform radio silence and can’t let him find us.”
