955 Commander of Dog Transport VS Nimitz (2)

In November, the eastern Pacific Ocean is close to the tropical area of ​​the equator. Deep below two thousand meters, the Pacific Ocean uproar, which is thousands of kilometers long, is like a giant dragon winding towards the Antarctic continent.

At the top of the mountain peak that stretches at a gentle slope of less than one degree, tough basalt fiber hollow ropes are deeply embedded on the rock through high-strength alloy expansion bolts. The floating balls every few hundred meters in the middle pull the long ropes like super seaweed, stretching towards the sea surface. As the ocean currents are washed by different depths of different countries, the sea snakes keep twisting like a snake.

At a depth of about 300 meters into the water, at the end of the hollow rope, a circular plate made of tough hollow material spread out like a water lily sinking into the water, with clumps of super giant algae attached to it, forming the shape of a blooming flower to expand the masking diameter to hundreds of meters in diameter, stretching until you can see a blurry and bright shallow water layer.

The buoyancy brought by the cavitation structure of the super giant algae not only pulls the buoyant one or two hundred meters long, but also drags the ropes of more than two thousand meters. The extra space is filled with green camouflaged sonars, mysteriously connecting them into a circular cordon that lasts thousands of kilometers!

No one knows all this except Zhu Bin who built the entire project and the on-duty staff of the research base!

Including the Nimitz aircraft carrier formation that had finally determined the target direction and location after more than ten days of traveling around the sea, they never expected that when the huge warship quietly crossed the sea with a combat formation, the active search caused by the sonar array was triggered to expose their existence!

Even though many active sonar shocks were alleviated, the focused US military ship sonars still made the sonars listen to them real. The destroyer Gwen, who was rushing ahead to open the road, immediately warned the flagship: "We have captured a weak sonar signal! It is very likely that another enemy submarine is nearby!"

"Sonar?"

Nimitz did not rush to issue a warning order to the entire fleet, but only asked everyone to upgrade to yellow warning. Then he frowned and thought for a moment, and then ordered the elite Marines to carry deep-submarine equipment to launch the water for survey, and ordered the three poor submarines cruising in front, back and left and right to explore carefully.

Not long after, the diver first sent a report: "There are a lot of seaweed under the water thirty to fifty meters! Damn it. How is this possible? According to hydrological data, this water area is at least one mile deep!"

The submarine with a submarine less than 100 meters deep was forced to float after sailing down for a few minutes--its propeller was entangled with a large ball of seaweed! If it weren't for avoiding it quickly, it might have been trapped there.

The other ships used iron anchors or other means to explore and also fished out large areas of seaweed at a depth of dozens of meters. Nimitz asked them to increase their efforts, and finally used the aircraft carrier's winch to tear up hundreds of tons of giant algae. He found a piece of obviously artificial debris at the root!

"It's true. I said, it's impossible for the Chinese to be unprepared. I think they should have known about our arrival."

Nimitz was extremely calm, as if it was commonplace. General Halsey, the flagship captain and commander of the 18th Special Mixed Fleet, was not so calm. He said with a sting: "Then what are we waiting for? Start an attack directly! Pull out this poisonous fang biting the American body, smash the Chinese people's cross-sea attack conspiracy! Kill them all!"

Halsey, who was stubborn, irritable, and straightforward to the point of being rude, did not hide his disgust towards the Chinese. He especially disliked the Japanese, who were very similar to the Chinese. He did not give any good face to the Japanese naval officer who lost the entire country's naval power and continued to experience on the US naval ships.

Nimitz was not so impatient and said calmly: "What is there inside? It's still a fog. And we don't know how the Chinese will fight. It cannot be ruled out that they sent the fleet on the West Coast to rescue them. Although it's at least six or seven days away from Los Angeles."

"That's enough for us to completely destroy this place! Humph, I want to see, with the power of our six aircraft carriers, we can't blow up a damn sea platform?"

Halsey waved his arm very sharply, and his chin raised high was filled with erratic and ferocious words.

Nimitz smiled faintly and shook his head: "It's not that simple. The tests we have done with Japan before are enough to show that any overestimation of the opponent's strength is not an exaggeration. Let's make further confirmation."

He spread out the dozen destroyers he and were connected to form a reverse arc, sweeping across the waters of a hundred kilometers wide, carefully and repeatedly exploring the sonar signal, and sending out active sonar detection downwards. The divers searched repeatedly and took half a day to determine the situation underwater.

After outlining a neat arc on the chart, Nimitz then found the midpoint and calculated the radius and center of the entire circle. Finally, he painted it hard into black at the empty center point, threw down the pencil and straightened his body.

"There is no mistake. The Chinese don't know what method to use. A circular underwater floating platform was arranged on this three thousand miles wide water area, planted giant algae, and sonar may be hidden in the middle, thus forming a whole circle with a radius of 150 kilometers! Their base is hidden in the center, just at the apex of the route curve between Panama and Hawaii."

Halsey's eyes lit up and looked at it carefully for three minutes. His face became solemn. He took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the Chinese are even more powerful than they imagined! Just building such a large defense line, I don't know how much it costs! So, over the years, they have sneakily sailed to Germany through Panama, or flotillas traveling to and from the West Coast, all of which have been transported here for supplies."

This is no secret. Since Sino-German relations became cold a few years ago, some information from the Germans have been leaked, and the US Navy is not a fool. They have controlled the routes between the West Coast and Hawaii and Panama in their hands. It is normal for the Chinese ocean fleet to run away at any time.

However, over the years, the Pacific Navy has not been able to search and intercept this vast sea area, and it cannot find a floating base like a drop in the ocean.

Halsey's face became ferocious again, and he slammed the table with a "bang" punch, and said with a muffled groan: "That's even more important to hit the Chinese! Damn, they were wasting countless money on these meaningless things!"

A circular defense line of four or five hundred kilometers, even a floating seaweed cultivation platform for one kilometer is astronomical, even if it is a wealthy and powerful United States, it is not necessarily possible to achieve it. Well, it is completely impossible to achieve it. Except for the Chinese, other countries in the world cannot dive deep enough to be under two or three thousand meters to construct, and they cannot create hollow basalt fiber cables.

Halsey wanted to send all the carrier-based aircraft out and directly blow up the target ahead. Nimitz smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid we can't do it too much. You also know that in order to support the war, the President was under tremendous pressure and owed a lot of debts and favors. And here, there are everything that those people want!"

"Damn the consortium!"

Halsey cursed directly. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. The damn consortiums who were manipulating Congress behind their backs were all obsessed with profits. In order to obtain the Chinese technology, he forced the navy, which was already in trouble, to have many demands. How can he fight?

Nimitz smiled and concluded: "So, we not only have to defeat the enemy, but also have to get everything here as well as possible. The most important thing is that the speed must be fast, otherwise we may have to face the encirclement of the Chinese Navy!"

Chelsea was so depressed that they wanted to cut people. When did the US Navy actually need to hide in the Pacific Ocean! Losing the West Coast and Hawaii, there was no place to find a quick supply. It was simply... He didn't know how to describe his bad mood.

Nimitz was a wise and documentary general. Once he made up his mind and executed it, he was particularly resolute and quick. After confirming it, he sent two consecutive waves of carrier-based aircraft without hesitation, occupying two heights of 1,000 meters and 6,000 meters from both sides of the fleet, and rushed directly to the target core area like an arrow!

Thirty or forty fighter jets took less than half an hour to take off the air. The formation rushed towards the vast and boundless sea surface ahead, and ran a hundred kilometers away. Suddenly, they found several floating platforms floating alone on the water!

It was a steel structure floating object that was dozens of times simpler than an offshore drilling platform. The most simple float main frame supports a square steel frame platform ranging from 100 meters long and 50 meters wide to 80 meters wide. The bottom is fixed with a cable anchor bolt of two or three thousand meters. There are almost no pipelines or complex structures above. Four pieces are pieced together, and a spire of about a hundred meters extends to the sky, and a wireless transmission receiver shining with blue light. In addition, there are only eight scattered electric drive propellers.

The only decent building on the platform is a square and four corner building that can accommodate about one hundred people's lives. The rest, tower cranes of varying heights and strange-shaped robotic arms, can be seen to temporarily dock small ships and load and unload cargo, God knows what they are used for!

"Discover the maritime target!" The pioneering aircraft group sent out a signal as soon as possible. Then, according to the pre-determined tactics, a small team of fighters suddenly dived and bravely rushed over the platform. Then, the radio signal was interrupted!

Electromagnetic blockage!

The US military was familiar with this situation and immediately understood that they had really entered the battlefield! The pilots all stared at each other and were ready to fire at any time, but the first nine fighters dived at full speed to the limit of 700 kilometers per hour with great caution, and passed the platform from a high place less than 100 meters, without any attack!

"Damn it! Is there no Chinese on duty here?!"

Such a strange situation made the pilots more and more worried. One of the fighters slowed down and climbed up, waved his hand to make a quick gesture to the other teammates, then turned around and rushed backwards, slowing down to more than 100 kilometers, gritting his teeth and landed decisively in the middle of the empty platform that was slowly bullying with the wave!

"Ah! Oh my God! Is he crazy?! There is no blocking rope on it, he will fall into the sea!"

The pilots of the other fighter planes were shocked and almost frightened their chins. They hurriedly stared at them with wide eyes and focused on them. However, they saw that the F4U fighter plane was possessed by a god, and was favored by God, and it was firmly attached to the crack at the junction of the platform and landed successfully!

The heavy fighter plane's landing posture was not very stable. The fuselage suddenly stopped and then bounced back. The tire rubbed out a few scoops of smoke and dust. It stumbled and slowed down. In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the end of the 200-meter-long platform. As everyone held their breath and opened their mouths, their wings hit the base of a tower crane and stopped. The pilot lifted the canopy cover at the last moment and jumped out, rolling out more than ten meters on the platform. He grabbed the edge with his hands and feet, and hung it tightly on the railing!

"Oh roar! Beautiful job!"

A fierce cheer erupted from the group of aircraft, which could be heard through the cockpit! Several fighter planes rushed over and waved their wings at a low altitude to congratulate.

After the pilot got up, he waved his fist to the sky with pride. One of the fighter jets captured this rare scene. I believe that it will definitely become the front page headline of the New York Times and even other newspapers!

Moving his hands and feet, the pilot took out his self-defense pistol bullets and loaded them, spread his legs and ran towards the building on the edge, and searched.

In the sky, on a bomber that followed, Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, the leader, slapped the left wing excitedly and shouted: "Good boy! It's true that he is the elite I selected! Immediately send this situation to the fleet and ask them to send Marines to help. Occupy this unguarded platform!"

Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle was so happy! Such a title actually fell into his hands, which indicates that a great victory was most likely to be right in front of him. He himself has been struggling for forty years and is about to usher in a brilliant stage in his career!

Groups of fighter planes roared and flew across the platform continuously, and the pilot successfully snatched into the building. Soon after, he reached the top and made a safe gesture towards the sky.

Doolittle's aircraft group all passed by, and a large floating building complex that was clearly visible appeared in front of him. Under the bright sunlight on the clear water surface, a huge circular platform with a diameter of three kilometers surrounded by several layers inside and outside almost made him jump!

Huge! Ten times larger than all steel structures that have been built in human history!

Dulite could not imagine how much steel and how much money it would take to build such a huge structure. Even if the outermost ring is at most three or four hundred meters wide, its total number is equivalent to one hundred aircraft carriers connecting them! Well, even if they are all hollow, the surface alone is a few square kilometers, which makes people dizzy to think about!

The most majestic central core, a huge platform of one square kilometer, is probably not three hundred meters high. The huge wireless spherical structure of the sky, the arc released by the electric arc actually triggered a large area of ​​the sky that continued to appear thick clouds. The sharp lightning was shining all the time, and the bursting roar shocked the airspace within a radius of dozens of kilometers, just like the arrival of Thunder God!

Inside and outside the platform, there are countless steel skeletons, various tower cranes, various robotic arms, buildings of varying heights, strange factory boilers, thick chimneys with smoke, like giant dragons with teeth and claws, gathering in the depths of the vast ocean. Just the first impression makes people feel trembling and awe from the heart!

This is a manifestation of strength, this is a scientific and technological creation that is almost miraculous, representing an unimaginable technological height and a wild imagination! Dulite could not think of anyone in the world who could build such a terrible thing. But after all, it appeared in front of him, so, what will he see next?!

With dozens of kilometers, even the maximum multiplier telescope cannot bring a clear picture. Doolittle cannot see if there is someone above, but he noticed the ships that were many times smaller than the outer ring, and used this to calculate the size of the target.

If you have a warship, you must have the ability to counterattack! No matter how the lightning jungle and dark clouds that had been shrouded in the past disappeared, at least it is absolutely unsafe here!

The next moment, his premonition was fulfilled!

The fighter jets in front were excitedly rushed to a distance of more than ten kilometers, and they were shady, as if they saw a flash of light on a giant tower on the outer ring of the platform. Then the fighter jets exploded into a dazzling fireball, sprinkling towards the sea with inertia!

A squadron immediately followed hurriedly dodged sideways, but only lived for a few more seconds. He could not see even a trace of ballistic flying, nor could he see a colorful cloud of shells exploded. He followed the partners in front of him torn apart in the air. The pilots didn't even have time to parachute, so they followed him and broke into pieces!

The B-25 bomber Doolittle was riding in slowed down and turned, stopped moving forward without hesitation, and warned the group behind him with his actions, and immediately began to avoid it--he didn't want to go up for no reason to die!

Then, the low-altitude aircraft group decisively turned back and lowered the height, and quickly advanced from the top of the waves against the super low altitude of the sea level!

On the sea 300 kilometers away, the main force of the East China Sea Fleet painted in a navy gray was launched at a speed of 25 knots. Wang Wenda held a cigar in his mouth and looked at the scene from the synchronous satellite of the sea base with a smile, and laughed: "The Americans have hit the iron plate with their heads again! How long can they last this time?"

The East Pacific Base is the second most important thing under Zhu Bin after the City of Light. It provides all his gold deposits, deep-sea metal minerals, all deep-sea active material refinements, as well as countless marine resources, and the world's top deep-sea laboratories.

In the past eight years, hundreds of serious floating platforms have been built. The rest of the simple water skeletons have been calculated in square kilometers, not only to revitalize the United States' shipbuilding industry, but even doubled the scale of Germany's shipbuilding industry!

With such a large investment and such important output, in order to ensure foolproof, it is almost equipped with various high-end weapon systems developed by the City of Light. It can be said that the old nest has whatever it has and what it has here.

The US military is trying to use a mere half-destroy sea force to get a bargain? It's so beautiful!
