MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 728 underwater cutting
Seeing this scene, the faces of the people on the Colorado changed. They didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence! They originally wanted the Orientals to bear the danger, so they spent a lot of money to invite the Orientals, but they didn't expect that the Orientals had just approached the submarine, just in time for a small battery explosion?
What to do next?
"Since you have already received the rescue fee, no matter how dangerous it is, you have to carry out the mission. This is your mission!" Clemmings said: "If you want to retreat, please pay all the rescue fee. Come out, or we'll detain you!"
The ugly faces are fully exposed at this moment, they can not only say it, but also do it.
"If you dare to mess around, we will also announce what happened here, and let the whole world judge." Xu Hua is not afraid of the threat from the other party: "You have rescue boats yourself, but you refuse to dispatch them. I'm afraid it's not because It's a technical problem, but because you are afraid! You are afraid that an explosion will happen here, which will bring you danger, so you invited us here as a scapegoat."
If this matter is announced, then their proud US Navy will also be discredited.
Being turned against the general, Clemins' face became even more gloomy.
Moriyama Nohito interjected: "Excuse me, is there any way for you to rescue in this situation?"
Don’t pay attention to these talkers, if you are always entangled in these things, then you don’t have to do anything. Now, the imminent thing before them is to rescue the people in the submarine. The people there won’t last long. Yes, if the rescue is not timely, the consequences may be unimaginable.
"No." Xu Hua replied decisively: "Things there will explode at any time. If we go to rescue, we may also be dragged down. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless the battery compartment is completely cut off first, dragged away, far away! Wait until everything is safe, and then we will rescue. Now, we will retreat to a safe place."
cut? Underwater cutting, cut off the battery compartment? Isn't this a joke?
"This is simply impossible. You are prevaricating and deliberately delaying the rescue. If the people in the submarine can't hold on and there are casualties, it will be your responsibility!" Clemins was very annoyed.
"Although we haven't gotten close to zero distance, we have also observed that the inclination angle of the front half of the wrecked submarine is about 45 degrees, which is not beyond the rescue range of your DSRV. Why don't you rescue it yourself? Isn't it because Are you afraid of the battery exploding? If you could have used your fearless spirit to rescue bravely, all the people in the submarine would have been rescued now!" Xu Hua said: "You are afraid of death, so you come to us. Risking your life? What about the spirit of never abandoning or giving up in your US military?"
After these words came out, the people on board the Colorado were surprised again, and the two Takegami looked at Clemins with suspicious eyes. You can rescue if it is not over 45 degrees, but you dare not rescue?
What kind of ally is this? A desperate ally? If the American pilot is killed, their special forces will rescue the pilot even if they pay sacrifices. Now, so many submarine soldiers from the island nation are dying, and these Americans don’t come forward to rescue them because they are afraid of danger?
"Okay, let's talk about your cutting plan." Clemins quickly changed the subject, and now he had to agree with what the Easterners said, and his attitude became less aggressive.
"We replaced the robotic arm with a cutting device, and then operated it by remote control to complete the cutting task. However, we need the design drawing of the underwater submarine." Xu Hua said.
Remote control? Their deep-diving lifeboats can still be remotely controlled? Everyone was shocked, but Takegami Erguchi was concerned about another thing: "No, we must not provide them with the design drawings of our submarine! This will reveal our secrets!"
For some reason, the military products produced by the island countries can only be used by themselves and cannot be exported. It is precisely because of this that their weapons are well kept secret, especially diesel-electric submarines. Since the submarines of the US Navy have been fully nuclear submarines, They do not have conventional diesel-electric submarines. Therefore, the follow-up development of the island nation's submarines is their own, including diesel engines and motors. The outside world does not know the performance of the island nation's submarines.
Now, the Orientals want the design drawings of the island nation's submarine, which will definitely leak, so Takegami Erguchi will definitely not give it.
"If there is no submarine design drawing, we can also construct. However, if you cut the wrong position because you don't know the structure of the submarine, then don't come to trouble us. We need a new rescue plan for the submarine before we can start." Xu Hua continued.
These are of course taught by Mr. Qin, so take this opportunity to study the island country's submarine design plan!
"Baga!" Takegami Erkou couldn't help cursing.
The other party is too hateful, if they don’t give the blueprint, the other party will cut their submarine pressure hull, so that the poor people waiting for rescue inside will receive a fatal blow!
"By the way, not only the design drawings, we also need a specific mechanical report, so as to prevent the stress from spreading when we cut and cause the submarine hull to crack."
This request is even more excessive. If they have this kind of information, then the Orientals can study where the submarines of the island countries are weakest. When attacking, as long as they directly attack such places, they can kill them with one blow.
"No, we'd rather sink the submarine than do that," Takegami Erguchi shouted.
"If you want to voluntarily give up the rescue, it is also possible, but according to our prior agreement, the rescue fee will not be refunded to you."
There are many demands, and the islanders may not accept them. If they don’t accept them, they will go home. However, the money will not be refunded. This time, they will kill the islanders!
"You guys negotiate first, and then we'll go to the end." Xu Hua said.
There are not only people in the front half, but also people in the second half, but the latter half are all low-level soldiers, so the degree of attention is not as high as that of the first half. Since Dongfang came to rescue, of course it must be treated equally.
The contact was temporarily suspended, and a pot exploded on the Colorado.
"Damn it, we must not let the Orientals succeed!" Erguchi Takegami said: "We will not hand over the design drawings and mechanical data to the Orientals."
"Who came up with this bad idea, please come to the rescue from the East!"
"How could it be possible to complete the cutting task in such a short time?"
"Alas, poor submariners!"
There are all kinds of theories, and they have messed up.
And their chaotic scenes also spread to Qiongzhou.
"Now, I don't know how they will choose." Wu Shengli said: "If we can get the design drawing of the island country's submarine in this way, then your Mingzhou Group has once again made great contributions to our navy."
"If you can get it, it is of course the best. However, the islanders are not fools, so after discussion, the most likely solution is that the islanders provide a cutting plan and let us do the construction." Qin Tao said.
The islanders would rather give up those crew members than give them the blueprints. These big guys already know about it, so let’s see how the islanders solve this problem. From Qin Tao’s point of view, it is in line with the interests of the islanders. It can also solve this problem, which is such a solution.
It depends on how long it takes the islanders to think of it.
"Thanks to our hacking into the opponent's C4ISR system and obtaining insider information, otherwise we would have never been able to obtain this information, let alone arrange it in advance." Qin Tao said: "This is the characteristic of information warfare. If we have the information If you have power, then you will have the magic weapon to defeat the enemy."
The bubble that exploded suddenly was actually arranged by them in advance, otherwise there would be such a coincidence. Anyway, as long as it conforms to the principle of perspective, creating a small bubble in front of the camera can give people the illusion that they are in front of the camera. The submarine's battery compartment exploded.
Now, the problem has been posed to the other party, and it depends on how the other party responds.
"Speaking of underwater cutting, I don't know how difficult it is." Wu Shengli continued.
"We must cut underwater, so that enough noise can be generated underwater to shield the opponent's sonar device, so that our unmanned submersible can search unscrupulously." Qin Tao said.
Obtaining the design drawing of the island country submarine is an unexpected harvest. Their main purpose is to salvage MK48 there. If the unmanned submersible is looking for it, it may also be exposed. As long as there is strong noise nearby, it will be fine.
"Yes, the cutting will definitely make noise. By the way, I heard that during the Cold War, the Americans once salvaged a submarine owned by Lao Maozi, and it was cut underwater. I don't know if it is true or not." Everyone felt emotional.
"Well, no one knows whether it's true or not, but now, we can play up this matter."
Salvage the mother ship.
"Everyone, I'm Zhang Zhong. I'm currently at the salvage site. Our salvage work has encountered serious trouble. There are things that can explode on the submarine. Among the current rescue plans, the safest thing is to cut off the exploded part, and then Tow it away so that the rescue work can be done safely, which reminds me of a legend from the seventies."
Zhang Zhong didn’t say that it was the lithium battery that exploded, because they don’t know about it at the moment, and this thing can’t be announced easily, otherwise the public will know it, and they will be very resistant to lithium batteries, which will be detrimental to the electric vehicles of Mingzhou Group.
He just said another thing.
"In April 1968, when the North Atlantic was still very cold, the Lao Maozi's G-2 class conventional submarine K-129 failed and sank. None of the 60 crew members survived. According to Western countries at the time, this was in the battery An explosion occurred during the charging process, which caused tragedy, but the old Maozi at the time believed that the submarine was hit by a U.S. submarine following behind. We don't know the specific cause of the accident, but what we know is its follow-up. "
As a qualified media person, one must learn to turn over old accounts. Anyway, these are no secrets. It was normal for them to cause a sensation all over the world, but now they are brought out of cold rice and re-fried.
"At that time, a conventional submarine was of little value, but this conventional submarine was not ordinary. It carried three missiles with nuclear warheads, plus the password book of the old Maozi Navy, etc. These military secrets are all It is a priceless treasure, so the U.S. is looking forward to seeing it salvaged, and, according to the CIA’s own efforts later, after the submarine’s accident, the U.S. forces nearby received a distress signal, but they did nothing.”
This sentence is enough to be lethal, but this is not Zhang Zhong's rumors. There were indeed such claims at the time. Inferior death, though brutal, was also common.
"It is said that there were two plans to salvage the K-129 submarine at that time. The safest way was to cut the submarine underwater and take away only the valuable core parts. The other was to salvage the submarine as a whole. Like a doll-grabbing machine."
"Damn it, these military reporters know how to stir up such bad news!" On board the Colorado, Clemins said angrily: "I really want to arrest this guy who talks about running trains!"
"Your Excellency Clemmins, let's think about a solution to the problem. If we continue to delay, the poor people of those island countries will be like the old hairy poor people on the K-129 submarine." The adjutant said.
"Is there anything you can do?" Clemins looked at his subordinates.
"If the islanders are asked to hand over the information on the submarine to the Easterners, they will definitely not want it. They would rather let the crew members die than leak the secret." Hopper said, "I have a way, if How about letting the islanders hand over the information to us, let us determine the cutting procedure, and then let the Orientals cut it?"
"In order to speed up the progress, we can also participate in underwater cutting." Another person said.
"No, that thing is going to explode at any time. The deep-submersible lifeboat of the Orientals can be operated unmanned underwater. Can we do it?" Clemins said: "Now, we have no other choice but to put our work on it." Let the Orientals do it, and we have to keep our men and equipment safe! As for those poor wretches, God bless them."
Hopper has become a military advisor here, and her suggestions are often of reference value. Clemmins looked at her with satisfaction: "Hooper, how about you take on this task?"
"Okay, let them pass the information over immediately."
Hopper is a character who can do what he says, and their warships have a large number of microcomputers, which can completely complete these scheme designs, much faster than those old ship design experts. They just don’t know that when they are on their computers When studying the cutting plan, the design drawings also slipped along the data link.
Qiongzhou.
"Compared to the previous generation of submarines, this submarine of the Islanders is equipped with sound-absorbing tiles, which can further reduce the noise of the submarine." Qin Tao analyzed: "This time cutting their submarine must start from the surface. It’s just right to bring their sound-absorbing tiles back to study.”
All countries are researching the silent technology of submarines, but the most advanced one should be Lao Maozi. After all, Lao Maozi has the strongest submarine force in the world. The submarines of island countries only started to lay sound-absorbing tiles in the 1990s, lagging behind Lao Maozi. twenty years.
"The island countries are closer to the West, but their submarines still use a double-hull structure. It seems that they are also sticking to their own path." A leader of the submarine force said.
"That's right, the Chunchao class is double-hulled, but it shouldn't be like this until the next level."
Qin Tao has some understanding of the submarines of the island country. The next level is the Oyashio class. On this submarine, the islanders use a mixed structure of single and double hulls. The bow and stern use double hulls, and the middle uses a single hull. The most important reason is that the sideboard sonar is installed, and the single hull is better deployed.
But now, there are more reasons.
Hearing what Qin Tao said, the people present were curious: "Mr. Qin, how do you know?"
"Because our Mingzhou Group wants to lead the shipbuilding trend. Our advanced diesel-electric submarines use a mixed structure of single-hull and double-hull. Those guys will definitely learn it. However, we don't charge tuition fees. They're learning."
So that’s the case, everyone nodded frequently, Mr. Qin is right, Mingzhou Group is going to lead the shipbuilding trend, those people will definitely learn the design concept of Mingzhou Group!
"The times are developing, technology is advancing, and design concepts are constantly changing." The leader of the submarine force said: "We are the most fortunate to be able to live in this great era and operate domestic advanced submarines."
"Yes, we are living in a great era, and our nation is undergoing a great era of rejuvenation." Qin Tao said.
The cutting plan was finally finalized, and the relevant contracts were signed. The Jiaolong entered the water again. This time, there was no one on the Jiaolong, and the remote control was indeed used.
"Mr. Moriyama Nohito, this is the control room, you can't go in." Moriyama Noren saw Xu Hua and Zhang Ming entering a certain room, and wanted to follow in, but was stopped.
"I want to see the operation process with my own eyes, so that I can rest assured, after all, it will be dangerous."
"Same as before, there is still a live video, just watch the video directly."
Moriyama Nohito had no choice but to leave, and turned to watch the video in the next room.
In terms of automatic control, the island nation is the most powerful. In their annual robot competition, you can see the complexity of the robot above. It is unbelievable that it can really simulate the movements of normal people. Grabbing eggs with bare hands is a basic operation. , Looking at the East again, the gap is not so big.
What now? The Orientals actually surpassed the island countries in this aspect, which made Moriyama Nohito feel very complicated.
Of course Moriyama Nohito can’t be allowed to go in and watch the operation. After all, after going down, the unmanned submersible must be released first.
Jiaolong came to the position of the submarine in distress again, and then aimed its mechanical arm at the battery compartment.
Bang!
There is a sound!
The crew in the submarine suddenly became excited, rescue is coming!
The last time they heard the sound of sonar, they were very excited, thinking that rescue would arrive immediately, but it was delayed for another seven or eight hours, and now the sound finally came!
Xiaojuan's second son looked at his diving watch, and just about to say something, a harsh noise came.
The high-decibel noise from a chainsaw cutting something is unacceptable to everyone, let alone at the bottom of the water, or on a submarine in distress!
When they heard that sharp voice, everyone was stunned, what are they doing? What's the situation?
Is this going to cut their subs? Damn it, we're not dead yet, you didn't rescue the submarine first, but planned to cut the submarine apart! It's not that there was a traffic accident on the highway, and people were squeezed into the deformed car body and needed rescue. Now they are in a submarine!
Have you considered the feelings of the people inside?
Everyone covered their ears and cursed in despair.
"Baga, Baga!"
Scolding is useless, it can only make them move more vigorously, thus consuming more oxygen. At this time, with the cutting of the Jiaolong, the people inside are completely desperate.
"Boom, boom!"
A strange noise appeared.
"what happened?"
"Could it be that they are cutting a dangerous part?" Xiao Juan's second son tried to calm himself down, and the part where the noise came from should be at the rear. Could it be that they are cutting the battery compartment?
"Everyone calm down, calm down, they are saving us!" The second son of Juan shouted loudly: "Our battery exploded, they need to cut the battery first, and then they can save us!"
"Cutting the battery is more dangerous, why not just come and save us!"
The people inside are sober, because what they care about most is their own life, what about the people outside? People outside care most about their own lives!
This is the biggest difference.
Of course, even if it is brought up afterwards, Mingzhou Group can also respond forcefully: Our remote control is still difficult, and the cutting is okay, but if we want to connect, the remote control technology cannot be achieved, and only personnel can pass by!
Everyone is paying attention to the progress of the cutting, but no one is paying attention. An unmanned submersible is sailing in the sea. Thanks to the noise protection of the cutting, it can sail freely and freely. Even, it can use active sonar to test when needed. In this huge noise, no sonar operator would be stupid enough to continue to wear headphones to observe.
It was searching around for an hour, two hours, just when it was about to run out of power and return, a big guy lying flat on the bottom of the sea attracted its attention.
"Found it, a MK48 heavy torpedo!" Xu Hua said excitedly: "We have finally completed the task assigned by President Qin!"
The news spread back quickly, everyone in Qiongzhou became excited.
"With this torpedo, we can better study submarine concealment and anti-submarine tactics!"
"Yes, we can also imitate this torpedo!"
"Boss Qin has done us a great service again!"
