Chapter 2607 Killing the Octopus

In the dark depths of the sea, a nuclear submarine was moving forward at a speed of 20 knots, silently, like a ghost, attracting countless undersea creatures to stand and watch. Suddenly, these undersea creatures quickly dispersed like a pot exploding. , a huge octopus slowly swam over, like an invincible killer coming out of the darkness, waving its powerful tentacles, bringing up streams of water.

In the command room of the nuclear submarine, a technician was staring at the screen, wearing a headset to collect sonar data. Suddenly his face became stern and he said in a deep voice: "Report, a giant octopus was found swimming over."

"How old is it?" the captain asked in a deep voice, his face becoming serious.

"The tentacle is about six meters long." The technician quickly replied.

"Six meters? Prepare torpedoes." The captain's face changed drastically and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes." Someone immediately agreed and passed on the order.

Luo Zheng stood quietly in an inconspicuous position and observed, full of doubts. Isn't it just an octopus? As for such a big move? But after all, he was a layman and could not dare to command the captain. After the order was conveyed, Luo Zheng couldn't help but asked curiously: "Captain, it's just an octopus. How troublesome?"

"It's hard to say that you should be prepared. You don't have to worry about ordinary octopuses. But this octopus is too big. Its six-meter-long tentacles are enough to hug the entire nuclear submarine. If it messes up, it will cause trouble for our navigation." The captain explained in a deep voice. Seeing that Luo Zheng didn't understand very well, he continued to add: "This nuclear submarine is one hundred and twenty meters long and only ten meters wide. The octopus tentacles are six meters long. Think about it?"

Luo Zheng understood immediately and said with a wry smile: "I'm just curious. I won't interfere with the command. You can continue."

The captain responded, looked at the dashboard of the command console, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "We are entering the canyon area ahead. The electromagnetic interference in this area is serious. Everyone should pay attention, watch carefully, and report the situation immediately."

"Report, the torpedo is ready, please give instructions." An officer said in a deep voice.

"Kill the octopus." The captain said coldly, but his eyes were fixed on the dashboard, not paying attention to the octopus at all. Luo Zheng walked up curiously, and suddenly felt the nuclear submarine vibrate. He couldn't help being shocked, and quickly Looking at the captain, the captain said with a stern face: "Quick, stop launching."

"What's going on?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"I didn't expect the octopus to arrive so quickly and have already attached itself to the nuclear submarine. Launching torpedoes at this time will destroy the nuclear submarine." The captain explained in a deep voice. His sharp eyes were fixed on the instrument panel again, but he found that the needle on the instrument panel was shaking randomly. The data on other electronic screens also began to appear chaotic. The captain was shocked and shouted in a deep voice: "Enter the electromagnetic interference area, follow my orders, turn 36 degrees to the left, speed 15."

"Yes, thirty-six degrees left, speed 15." Someone immediately repeated the order.

The navigation of a nuclear submarine requires charts, accurate clocks, accurate speed measurement, and auxiliary navigation equipment to adjust the direction. The navigator marks his own track on the chart according to the speed, direction and time of the submarine, so that he can control the route. Coupled with adjusting the deviation through other equipment at the right time and place, it is possible to sail to very far and complex places. However, once large magnetic field interference is encountered and problems occur with the navigation equipment, the situation will be different, and it is necessary to Rich experience to direct and correct direction.

What’s even more frightening is that there are no detailed charts for reference in front of the nuclear submarine. When the nuclear submarine sails on the seabed, the main basis is the chart. Generally, all the seabed terrain on the earth: trenches, mountains, basins, cliffs, rift valleys, etc. There are precise markings on the charts. You just need to follow the charts to sail. Of course, the level and accuracy of such charts vary from country to country. Some countries do not have them at all. This kind of chart is not The ones you can buy at Xinhua Bookstore are top-secret.

The nuclear submarine sailed forward for a certain distance. The nuclear submarine began to shake again, as if it was being shaken by someone. The people inside the ship were unsteady. This feeling was frightening. The captain suddenly looked stern, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: " Turn on the sonar, speed 10, and put out bait."

"Yes, turn on the sonar, speed 10, and put out bait." Someone immediately repeated the order.

Not long after, someone shouted: "Report, the bait is released."

"Report, the octopus is chasing the bait." A technician in charge of sonar quickly reported.

"Huh -" the captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at everyone in the command cabin, and said in a solemn voice: "This octopus seems to be quite big, it should be the overlord here, but it met us, no matter what. , bomb it, torpedo it, launch it, destroy it for me."

"Yes, torpedo launch." Someone immediately repeated the order.

Soon, someone responded in a deep voice: "The torpedo was launched successfully."

Luo Zheng didn't feel any torpedo being launched at all. Seeing that the nuclear submarine had returned to stability, everyone was in a good mood and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he heard a dull explosion. The sound was very weak, but it could be vaguely heard. Then, Luo Zheng felt When the nuclear submarine shook a little, he quickly grabbed the bracket next to him to steady his body. He looked at the captain in surprise, only to find that everyone around him was smiling excitedly. He knew it was okay and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report the situation." The captain asked in a deep voice.

"Report, target cleared." A technician said quickly.

"Great, well done." The captain said excitedly, and the others also laughed excitedly.

"Killed?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise, his interest in this different fighting method greatly increased.

"Killed it. I didn't expect to encounter such a big octopus. It's a rare encounter in a hundred years. Fortunately, this beast was deceived by the bait and left the ship. It's good luck. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome. Okay, I have to concentrate on driving. You Go and rest for a while, nothing will happen here." The captain said confidently.

"I'm fine. I don't need to rest. If it doesn't hinder me, I want to observe and learn here. Wouldn't turning on the sonar reveal our whereabouts?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.

"Yes, normally, sonar will reveal whereabouts, but now it is a rare thunderstorm day, and the surrounding magnetic field is turbulent. Even if it is exposed, the enemy will not be able to figure out the situation, unless there are nuclear submarines patrolling around, but this area is Bermuda, there is no If someone dares to come in easily, it doesn’t matter if they are exposed. It’s not a fight.” The captain said nonchalantly, looking at the instrument panel with a confident look on his face.

Luo Zheng didn't expect that the captain was not young, he was also very angry, and he was a bloody soldier. He couldn't help but feel a little more cordial. He smiled, stopped disturbing, and calmed down to observe everyone. After a while, the captain ordered After adjusting the speed to ten knots, the nuclear submarine quickly slowed down. There were no charts and no coordinates. All judgments were made based on personal experience and sonar data. A slower speed would be safer and easier to change direction.
