MTL - Monster Factory-Chapter 1377 : One is bright and the other is dark
The saber-toothed tiger adsorbed near the propeller immediately moved its hands toward the hull.
In the face of special marine steel with a melting point of only 1,400 Baidu, the fission knife is really like a hot knife with butter.
The fission knife is stuffed into the hull, and of course there is no continuous bubble noise from heating the sea. Only a dark red blood-stain-like line on the bottom of the ship quickly formed a circle.
The steel plate made of special alloy quickly absorbs the heat emitted by the fission knife, and is evenly carried away by the sea water, only producing a small and nearly silent bubble near the cut.
In less than ten seconds, the fission knife cut out a half-meter-diameter round hole in the steel plate.
The cut is so smooth that the saber-toothed tiger needs to turn around and use the front two fins to pull the steel plate off.
The saber-toothed tiger is like an unsentimental killer. When it got into the dark bottom cabin of the ship, it also pulled the cut steel plate back again.
Maybe it didn't feel firm enough, the saber-toothed tiger flicked its tail and quickly tapped the edge of the cut with a fission knife, so that the steel at the cut melted and solidified a few solder joints.
Warships are all double hull ships, and the bottom of the ship is a closed compartment that can not only strengthen the overall structure, but also play the role of watertight space.
If you count the pressurized water tanks on both sides of the hull and the watertight compartments all over the ship, even if the shell below the waterline is destroyed, the warship can rely on good damage pipe measures to anchor in place and wait for rescue.
The premise is not to be like the saber-toothed tiger, working on the second-tier structure of the warship.
"Drip~Drip~Drop~"
This time it is the ship control room.
The bottom compartment of the warship is equipped with pressure sensors. If the compartment is damaged, the internal pressure changes will cause the sensor to alarm.
When the outer shell was cut before, the pressure of the compartment had already changed. Now when the inner layer is cut open, the sensor inside has begun to give out prompts.
There were only four engineers from the marine engineering department on duty in the ship's central control room. Seeing that the warning message of pressure change in the 063 compartment appeared on the screen, the person in charge of duty sent a lower rank than his own and asked him to go to the 063 compartment to see the situation.
The pressure sensor only prompts pressure changes. There are hundreds of compartments in the entire warship. It is nothing new to have a single sensor change in value. It is enough to send someone to check.
The compartment is located at the lowest level of the warship. To get there, you need to climb up and down, not to mention, you have to bend over and drill into the compartment from a pipeline full of oil. Therefore, checking the compartment is a hard work to send to anyone, and everyone wants to curse.
The staff on duty who was sent over breathed fragrance while drilling down the escalator to the lower deck.
...
It took less than five seconds for the saber-toothed tiger to cut the inner layer of the compartment.
Without the cooling of the sea, the fission knife has become extremely red at this time. Accompanied by the movement of the saber-toothed tiger, the fission knife flicked in the air is already hot enough to cause the surrounding air to produce obvious refraction and distortion, as if there is a red firelight taken from the sun hidden inside.
Drilling out of the compartment, a narrow channel with a height of less than one meter and densely covered with various pipelines on the top appeared in front of the saber-toothed tiger.
The saber-toothed tiger turned his head quietly.
Microwave radar.
Thermal imaging scan.
Optical lens imaging.
Motion capture sensor.
Short-range infrared lidar...
These sensors integrated in its head quickly transfer the captured data to the processing system located inside the body.
Under the control of the system, the two black optical imaging eyes of the saber-toothed tiger revealed a dark green light.
"Hunting" is about to begin.
At this moment, apart from one sonar officer who was ignorant by the short-term strange sonar characteristics, there was only one person on duty who was heading to the watertight compartment, the closest thing to the "hunting" truth.
"Location coordinates are matching..."
"The location coordinates were successfully matched. It is located in the bottom compartment of the Ticonderoga-class cruiser, compartment number 063."
"Command: cooperate with your companion to destroy this ship."
"The instruction is executed..."
After 0.1 second, the saber-toothed tiger bounced its tail, brandished a fission knife and threw it out.
With a muffled sound, an orange-red pipe with a diameter of nearly ten centimeters above the passage was instantly cut, and the fracture was like a mirror.
This is a light water fire extinguishing foam tube.
The pipeline was cut, but no fire extinguishing foam splashed out of it. Because the valve between it and the fire storage tank is closed, the valve will only open when a fire occurs in the ship.
It seems that the destructive gene buried deep in the program is activated, and the fission knife that stays in the midair can't help but tremble slightly with the body of the saber-toothed tiger.
It walked silently towards the end of the narrow passage.
As the time of exposure to the air became longer, the Fission Knife became more and more hotter. The original crimson light had already evolved to become blazing white.
Even if the saber-toothed tiger does not damage other pipes, those cables covered with insulation or waterproof layer will begin to melt like candles under the influence of the high temperature skipped by the fission knife, exposing the internal metal material.
A few seconds later, a watertight door appeared in front of the saber-toothed tiger.
The watertight door has been closed, and the saber-toothed tiger did not turn to open and close the valve, but directly cut the watertight door with a fission knife.
A wider and longer passage appeared in front of the saber-toothed tiger.
This is the main maintenance channel leading to the watertight compartments and the three equipment rooms. This maintenance channel has appeared countless times in previous simulated attacks, so the saber-toothed tiger did not hesitate to cut open a watertight door on the left and move it up. The twisted metal stairs ran quickly.
At the end of the metal staircase, there is a large watertight door close to two meters high, on which there is also a brand of [Fire and Damage Pipe Master Pump Room].
Cut open this watertight door, a large but crowded equipment room appeared in front of the saber-toothed tiger.
This is the core of the ship's fire fighting and damage pipes. Whether it is light water foam fire fighting for ammunition fuel, carbon dioxide fire fighting for electronic circuits, or water pump fire fighting for ordinary areas, it must be transferred here.
In addition, it is also connected to the gas turbine room, and the gas turbine provides enough pressure to drive the fire extinguishing material stored in the large tank.
...
The saber-toothed tiger leaped up from the metal stairs.
The next second, the fission knife pierced the light water foam tank, cutting from the beginning to the end. The large metal can is like torn paper, accompanied by a violent neighing sound, the leaking and expanding light water bubbles instantly filled the entire equipment room. Then it gushes down the watertight door that has been cut like a white python, filling the entire passage.
Then comes the carbon dioxide tank, and the water storage pressure tank.
The internal pressure of the carbon dioxide tank was as high as ten megapascals. When the tank burst, it looked like a bomb had been dropped in the equipment room. Not to mention that the sensors in the equipment room kept alarming, even if there were no sensors, the loud noise was enough to wake up the sailors in the cabin.
Located in the equipment room on the lower deck, the remaining three personnel on duty were all startled by the loud noise.
"what's the situation?
Could it be that those guys hit the freighter? "The person in charge of the central control room was full of suspicion. He remembered that there had been an unknown number of incidents of warships hitting civilian ships. Even because there were too many such incidents, some people even made up a joke about warships letting the island lighthouse avoid their routes ...
It was the duty officer sitting on the monitoring station who discovered the source of the loud noise. He stared at the screen and shouted: "There is an abnormality in the fire and damage main pump room."
"Abnormal?" The person in charge turned his head and saw the pressure warning message flashing on the screen.
Because all this happened too suddenly, the three people in the central control room were shocked for five seconds before remembering to transfer the monitoring picture to the interior of the fire and damage master pump room that no one cares about.
As a result, the situation in the picture was similar to that of the pressure cooker, with the snow-white liquid full of the screen and the airflow of white flowers rushing around in it, but nothing else was visible.
This unprecedented phenomenon caused the thinking of the three people in the control room to become a pressure cooker. After the person in charge was scared to leave one person behind, he took the other person to the fire and damage master pump room.
As he ran, he used the communicator to contact the personnel in other compartments to come to support emergency repairs. It was obvious that the loud noise just now was a tank explosion accident in the fire and damage main pump room, and more than one explosion occurred.
When this happens during combat missions, the consequences can be imagined.
The personnel staying in the centralized control room are also constantly cutting around on the operating platform, reading the previous pressure parameter records, and trying to find the cause of the accident.
It took the saber-toothed tiger only a few seconds to cut the can body. He wanted to find the reason from the record, of course, he couldn't find anything.
Precisely because of this, the staff on duty with confused faces are even less likely to have spare energy to find the meter numbers that are quietly changing on the data cabinet next to them.
Because there are two saber-toothed tigers, this one who made a huge movement to attract everyone's attention.
There is another one lurking in the dark, working towards those unobtrusive but equally important ship structures.
