Chapter 485: Undersea Hunter

"Captain, it's been one day since the scheduled area. Why haven't we discovered the valuable target of the US Navy? Did we lose our position?" In the quiet submarine, the first mate asked the captain Chen Tao who was checking the charts beside him. The fine sweat beads on his forehead were not known because of the internal fire or the internal environment of the submarine where the air was not circulating.

"Don't worry, this area and the waters southeast of Mindanao, Philippines. Going further forward, there are several other important U.S. ports and bases in Guam. Whether the Americans want to fight us or not, he will definitely send ships to patrol this place!"

"If the fuel we carried was not limited, we could only maintain a round trip and could not have enough continuous lurking ability, I really want to drive away and fight at their doorstep!" Chen Tao said with some regret. Regarding the matter of coming to the door to find trouble for the other party, the submarine number 098, from the captain to the crew, is familiar with this kind of business.

In relatively shallow waters, the maneuvering evasion ability and evacuation time that submarines can do will be greatly shortened, which means that while getting close to the coast and harbor, you can get more offensive opportunities, and the chances of being exposed and hunted by your side will also be greatly increased.

For this reason, hunting targets in the deep sea is not a big skill, and submarines that dare to go deep into the enemy's hinterland or even in front of the base camp are the people respected in the navy.

It is just that it is not easy to do this. Submarines cannot be activated by one person or two. They require the joint efforts of the entire ship to achieve the performance of the entire ship and make it difficult to advance and retreat. Therefore, for the entire submarine, each submarine is like a big family.

Everyone lives, lives, works and fights in this big family. Since its establishment, this special group of submarine members has always been the focus of social relations scientists.

Because no matter in any country, even the United States, which emphasizes self-awareness and self-characteristics, its submarine forces also have the same environment and atmosphere.

"The sound of the engine was found in the direction 052." Although the sonar spoke very little, the content contained in his words was quite exciting.

"What's the distance, speed, direction?" The first mate immediately ran to the chart in front of the podium, grabbed the two-color pen and ruler and waited for the sonar to report the data. Chen Tao ran to the sonar and grabbed another pair of monitor headphones and put them on. Not only did he listen carefully, but his eyes were also staring at the screen in front of the sonar.

Seeing that tiny highlight flashing on the screen, his eyes were filled with cold light.

"The distance is three thousand three, direction is one five seven, speed is three knots per hour, and the power source is non-thermal power machinery!"

"It's a submarine. Pay attention to the identification of the enemy and me, and start voiceprint recognition." Without caring about what the first mate was drawing on the chart after hearing the data, Chen Tao knew that the first mate would tell him the best attack position and angle later. Before that, it is necessary to determine whether the other party is his own person to avoid accidental injury.

After receiving the order, the sonar immediately turned on a new equipment on the operating table, which was only equipped after improvements were made some time ago. It is said that in addition to the qiv-type snake-class ocean-going submarines equipped with this latest developed equipment, only a few submarines in the qiii submarines have just been installed.

The No. 098 submarine where Chen Tao is located is just in time for the good time to release the new equipment. As the captain, Chen Tao was begging for a long time to install this set of equipment originally installed on other new submarines on his own submarine.

Today, we must test the power and effectiveness of this new equipment in actual combat.

Soon, the voiceprint recognition system calculated the unique audio trajectory generated by the opponent's engine and propeller with a newly loaded cabinet computer.

The sonar emitted by each ship during its driving is different, and the sound track is amplified and processed severally. It will appear as a human DNA, with a curved track of different heights.

The propeller and its engine of each submarine are manufactured by different people, and the slight differences in materials and even the tightness of installation will be different. By amplifying this curve trajectory, it can also be used to identify and use it with marine submarines and other ships.

After research and utilization by personnel from the Institute of the National Academy of Sciences, the work of identifying unknown ships by sound trajectories has actually begun a long time ago.

I still remember that during the blockade against Japan, Chen Tao and his team would record the voice patterns of each other before hiding on the seabed to search for targets. It can be said that although this equipment was still in a test or semi-finished state at that time, its huge data collection work had already begun.

"Identification is completed. It's not our submarine!" Although the needle printer that has just been decentralized in a small range cannot be used on the submarine to avoid exposure of noise, in order to meet the needs of the submarine's work and combat, the trajectory of the opponent's voiceprint is displayed on the special screen.

However, this kind of display symbol requires special learning and practice to master and apply it proficiently. The meaning represented by the stripe alone can be compiled into a hundreds of pages of operation manual. Without sufficient cultural knowledge and memory, you cannot be competent for this job. This is done to avoid errors caused by relying entirely on machine judgments and causing errors.

"It's not our submarine, it's the enemy's submarine, it's not the deafening tractor of the Japanese devils, it's not the submarines of Britain and France in terms of direction, it's only the American submarine!"

Chen Tao said that he threw the monitor headphones down and came to the first mate who had just completed the chart work on the podium. It was a very happy thing to have an experienced and tacit partner. The first mate had already done his pre-work on the chart before taking advantage of the time.

On the chart, the positions, orientations, directions, angles, speeds, distances and other data of both the enemy and us are marked. Chen Tao only needs to choose where to launch his unexpected fatal attack from and from what angle.

"It's an American submarine again. The one I killed last time was really not satisfied. I was too nervous last time. Before I could hear the submarine's bulkhead burst after the underwater torpedo explosion, the other party sank." The deputy helmsman whispered to the main helmsman beside him, telling the wonderful feeling that he had not yet fulfilled last time.

"In fact, it is not the same as the sound of the bulkheads being crushed in the deep sea when the ships sank. It's just that the submarine is small and not that loud. And now it's so far away. When the guided torpedo is fired later, no one of us can hear it except the sonar."

Although the main helmsman said this, his expectant expression still betrayed his true desire and eagerness in his heart.

"Captain, will you fight?" Ignoring the low-key discussions of the crew members around me, the first mate also looked at Chen Tao with some urgency and waiting for the parents in this big family to speak.

"Fight! Of course we have to fight! Our submarine troops are like snipers in the army. Since we are familiar with each other's work nature and combat ideas, the first priority is the other party's target. The first target of the sniper is the other party's sniper. The first target of our submarine is the other party's submarine!"

Chen Tao licked the corner of his mouth like a bloodthirsty killer. The dim light made his expression and face look a bit bloodthirsty.

"No. 2 launch tube, underwater highly sensitive guided torpedo. Number one, launch!"

As the weapon took the launch button, a sound and vibration of compressed air pushing the torpedo out of the tube, a familiar sound made all soldiers hold their breath, anxiously and urgently waiting for the loud underwater sound to come.

The US submarines that entered the hunting area of ​​the No. 098 submarine also heard the movements coming from here. The sound of torpedoes breaking through the tube and the noise of the torpedoes approaching rapidly in the sea made them jump like cats being stepped on to their tails.

The opponent immediately accelerated to full speed and high speed steering, trying to avoid the sudden deadly torpedo through maneuvering evasion.

Perhaps it was because they had not seen the ability of guided torpedoes to automatically adjust their attack targets. After making an emergency avoidance, the submarine avoided the original navigation route, they fiercely rushed towards the submarine No. 098. They looked quite angry and seemed to be in the most violent revenge against the Chinese submarines that had attacked them.

"Captain, the Chinese submarine is less than 2,300 yards away from us. Should we launch torpedoes for counterattack?!" On the US submarine, the US sailor who just thought he could escape the direct torpedoes asked in the communicator when to launch torpedoes for counterattack.

"No hurry, torpedoes are very expensive. After entering 1,400 yards, they will launch an attack. These damn Chinese people dare to attack us. However, it seems that these Asian monkeys are even stupider than pigs. They will launch an attack at such a long distance. They don't know who their instructor is. They don't even understand the simple principle that direct torpedoes are easily avoided in long distances. They don't even understand the fighting method of continuous launching to block our way."

After confidently avoiding the route of China's sneak attack on torpedoes, the US submarine captain breathed a little relieved. Although the Chinese sneak attack shocked him and all the sailors on the ship, with the cooperation over the years and the advantage of more veterans in his submarine, they still successfully avoided the sneak attack.

Now, it's time to fight back!

But before the US submarine captain continued to complain about the Chinese submarine instructor foolingly teaching even more stupid students, the sonar echoed in the narrow driving command cabin with an incredible voice: "We did not avoid the torpedo! The opponent's torpedo turned direction and rushed straight towards us, the distance was - three hundred yards!!"

The Chinese army's leading advantage in torpedo guidance technology is once again fully reflected. This overwhelming advantage in weapons and equipment, coupled with the professional knowledge and literacy of submarine officers and soldiers, is changing the war situation between China and the United States.

On this vast ocean, wolves in the deep sea are hunting fiercely, and the US military ships are delicious prey.

"Bang", the US submarine captain's coffee cup fell on the metal floor of the command cabin and smashed it. Another US submarine captain reacted like this. Although Chen Tao and the sailors on the opposite China submarine 098 could not see the colorful scene here.

But this did not prevent them from conceiving the now stunned and at a loss in their minds.

The sound of the hundreds of kilograms of plasticized high explosion carried in the torpedo warhead was transmitted to the ears of every officer and soldier of the No. 098 submarine, and everyone was excited to hear the long-lost sound again.

Soon, the huge shock wave generated by the close-range explosion shredded the wall hulls of the US submarine, and a large amount of seawater poured into the interior of the US submarine through the rupture and shock-breaking pipelines. The huge seawater made the pipe damage meaningless.

The submarine was too heavy and gradually caused the submarine to sink. The old-fashioned submarine built by the US military in the early stage was not very high. Soon, the crew of the submarine No. 098 could faintly hear the sound of the bulkhead of the US submarine being burst by sea water pressure. Although the muffled sound of metal bursting was dull, in the ears of Chinese undersea killers, this sound is the best sound in the world.

"Captain! Another ship!"

The first mate was excitedly prepared to add another result of his own to his notes.

"Yes, this is everyone's credit."

Just as everyone was about to celebrate, the sonar suddenly shouted a voice that no one wanted to hear:

"Discover anti-submarine destroyers!"

"It seems that he has attracted the other party's destroyer dad, distance?! Position!" Chen Tao rushed to the sonar table and picked up his headphones and put them on, but his face was as cold as usual.

"The orientation is zero three-one, the distance is three thousand seven, and the number is two, and the speed is very fast." The sonar quickly reported several important data.

"Hmph, we came so fast. Why didn't we find them just now?" Chen Tao had anger. If he had discovered these two warships before the attack, he would have chosen a better attack position, and he would not be in a dilemma of not being able to run or fighting now.

"Sorry, the captain, there is no display on the sonar, and I didn't hear the other party's noise when I monitored the noise source. It is probably because the other party turned off the engine." The sonar said very sorry.

"Forget it, if the other party turns off the engine and actively detects the sonar, it is indeed difficult to find out the other party without turning on it. You don't have to blame yourself too much. Now is not the time to review mistakes. Continue to monitor and report the other party's every move at any time!" Chen Tao also knew that the most important thing now is to do something rather than entangle these mistakes.

"Captain, can you fight? If you don't fight, it will be too late?" The first mate came back from the front cabin.

"Stop it, the data has not been entered in time, use direct torpedo to hit the destroyer coming towards him?" Chen Tao was also a little angry now, and his words were a little rushing, but no one would care about this, because on this submarine, the captain was the parent here and the supreme commander here.

"Now the magnetic torpedo has exceeded the nearest attack distance. If the distance is close, the torpedo will automatically find the target again. We are likely to become the target after the torpedo circles. How long will it take to input data from the line-guided torpedo?" Chen Tao made a judgment by quickly taking a look at the weapons he can use and the possible consequences.

"Captain. The line-guided torpedo of the No. 6 tube can be launched in one minute, but we only installed one line-guided torpedo, and the other one has not yet been installed in the torpedo tube!" The communicator inside the ship also received an anxious answer.

"How long will it take for you?"

"We can compress the time to enter the pipe to about twelve minutes, but the time to enter the data depends on the technician!" The weapon answered truthfully.

"It's too late to go. I know you keep the fastest twelve and a half-way loading record in the entire army, but today I can only let you break your own records. This is a choice of either life or death!"

Chen Tao is inspiring everyone's fighting spirit and letting everyone understand the seriousness of the current situation. His last two sentences clearly tell everyone that the situation is to give it a try on the front line of life and death.

"The cabin, we need to evacuate at the fastest speed later. The battery is now a little too busy to output such a long time and power. Prepare the fuel cell!"

"I understand! Prepare the fuel cell!" After replying to Gongro, the owner of the computer room did not directly control the thing with the poison sign, but closed the cabin doors of the computer room and other cabins, and shouted to everyone in the computer room: "Wear a gas mask!!"

When the host of the computer room saw that all the sailors in the cabin were wearing gas masks, he took out his key and opened the fuel input control valve of the fuel cell. Under everyone's gaze, the fuel control valve was unscrewed. Soon, in the cabin and the command cabin, the indicator lights that showed the output power of the fuel cell were accurately lit up, and the power meter next to it was swinging rapidly towards the green area.

Although the Chinese submarine force has equipped the first generation of fuel cells very early, this thing is actually rarely used because it requires quite cumbersome and careful control during use.

The fuel injection speed should not be too fast, otherwise the large amount of heat generated during chemical reactions can easily cause fire or explosion, and the exhaust gas generated during chemical reactions will have certain toxicity.

Although the toxicity is not high, you don’t need to wear a gas mask when put outside, but in the small space of the submarine, the exhaust gas is constantly generated and accumulated like a closed air-conditioned room.

In addition, there are restrictions and inconveniences. How can these cumbersome processes and things that require careful service to be always guaranteed during battles? For this reason, if it is not the most critical time, the officers and soldiers of the submarine rarely choose to use this thing.

Today, this is the fifth time Chen Tao has used this thing, but the previous four times were used and maintained regularly by the base, but this is the first time in practical use like this.
