Chapter 368 Disaster
"Take the insect eggs and the slime pieces?" Leslie asked his companion while fixing the oxygen cylinder on the back of the diving suit.
"Take them all!" The companion pointed to the safe box next to the cockpit with a rope. Everyone looked bad, but no one said anything. With a slight shock, the activated submersible took off from the side of the submarine that was close to it, and the two external propulsion motors bulged bursts of water.
Through the hemispherical window, Leslie couldn't help but look back. He didn't miss the gradually moving Jimmy Carter. His eyes did not stop on the majestic boat, but turned to the darkness in the distance.
"Bang!" Four employees of the Navy Intelligence Office were thrown out of their seats and smashed them hard on the bulkhead of the submersible. There were no seat belts inside the thing, and the four people almost turned upside down.
Holding the pain from his cheeks, head and even his body, Leslie and others quickly crawled in their position, not caring about themselves, and the few people immediately observed the situation around them.
"Pusher!" an employee shouted, pointing outside, and the other three people's eyes turned here immediately.
Leslie took a breath of air conditioning. An underwater thruster originally parallel to the submersible and embedded in the fuselage had become perpendicular to the fuselage. A small part of it was inserted into the housing of the submersible. Even so, the strong thrust was still surging from the thruster, and interfering with another normal thruster made the submersible almost stagnant.
"Damn it! Someone did something on it?" Leslie asked, and his companions who were wiping their nosebleeds shook their heads. The submersible was rolling so hard that they were just trying to hold on, but their bodies had not recovered yet.
"Bobby, check the box! James, go out and take a look. If you can repair it, repair it. If you can't repair it, remove it!"
After quickly assigning the task, Leslie opened the control panel and tried to turn off the problematic thruster. He couldn't think too much about the time, so he could only move to a safe place first and then think about what was going on.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound hit everyone's ears.
"Box..." A trembling voice sounded. Leslie followed the sound and saw an extremely terrifying scene.
Because the submersible flipped and opened, there were no insect eggs in the box door, only a pile of mottled eggshells stained with mucus and a wriggling bacteria blanket.
The creepy sound of glass cracking spread from far to near, and Leslie slowly lifted her stiff neck due to fright.
"O God!"
A bug with a pale luster all over!
Before the intelligence employees could react, their sharp claws slashed across like tofu, and the surging sea water couldn't wait to get in.
On the Jimmy Carter, the captain was no longer in the mood to think about where the submersible had gone, nor did he have the energy to pay attention to the two lost torpedoes.
A disaster is taking place in a submarine.
Something happened to the reactor!
When the engineer pulled down the quick stop switch, Doug, who was in the command cabin, immediately understood that the matter had reached the most critical point. Even though he was confused about the situation at the tail of the submarine, his professionalism still forced him to forget all the threats around him first, and immediately issued an order to quickly emptiate the water in the ballast water tank, so that the behemoth could rise to the sea!
"Send a signal to the Connecticut State! Notify them to float up immediately to prepare for rescue! How many torpedoes will be fired! This is no coincidence!" Under the forced situation, Doug felt that he had figured out the connection before and after.
"Damn Leslie! He definitely knows what that is!" Doug had the heart to kill Leslie at this moment.
"The control system failed! The engineer is trying to make sea water pour into the closed shell of the reactor!" The head and tail of the submarine are connected by phone. In the engine control cabin of the stern of the boat, a sailor is roaring at the command cabin to report the situation. The pressure of the reactor has completely dropped, and a large amount of coolant is pouring out from the cracked hole, but it quickly turns into high-heat steam, turning the stern almost like a sauna.
The decay heat generated by the uranium rod is melting everything in the tail of the boat, and the chief engineer cannot allow the sea water to rush in at one time to cool down. That is a mortal act. He needs to grasp the speed of the emergency control device to release water to slowly absorb and dissipate the overflowing heat.
There was a loud "boom" sound, and the sailor holding the telephone and microphone was still waiting to see the situation clearly, a wave rushed towards him!
The outer wall of the engine compartment was broken! The sea water poured in!
The 5000° high temperature steam instantly dissipated, and the part of the entire stern that was not separated by the sealed compartment was burnt in just a few seconds!
Doug heard the explosion of compressed air in the microphone, and the microphone slipped from his hand, and he knew the submarine was finished.
The radioactive slag melted away any substance it could touch at the tail of the boat, and the sound of the hull bursting caused by the uneven pressure sounded intermittently.
A ball of light suddenly lit up in the sea water.
Meanwhile, four Connecticut torpedo tubes poured out anger in the direction of Acura.
On the Akula's advanced anti-armor intermediate submarine, Qin Feng was wearing the sonar officer's headphones. With his sensitive hearing, he keenly caught a violent impact, which was when the Jimmy Carter was still running smoothly.
"Something attacked one of the submarines, not torpedoes." Qin Feng said to Aric after handing over the headset to the sonar officer.
"In about a minute, the horror robot can send back close-range images." Aric replied.
The horror robot has limited vision, let alone underwater with touching visibility.
"One minute..." Qin Feng murmured and chewed at the various possibilities that could be generated by this time. The battle of the submarine was not as intuitive as it was on the water. It was only useless waiting for a lot of time. After careful consideration, he still said to Aric: "Send two terrifying robots, we can't sit and wait."
"Commander! The sea water is pouring into the submarine!" The sonar officer heard the sound of the sea water pouring into the cabin. At this moment, he felt a sense of fear of empathy.
Everyone has the urge to float to the surface immediately. In the claustrophobic space, listening to the news that another submarine was attacked by unknown forces, and he was also inside a submarine not too far away, which was not a good feeling.
"The right way to do this is to float up quickly." Captain Aric explained to Qin Feng, "As long as the seawater does not pour into the engine compartment, resulting in loss of power, the damage to the pipe can still be kept in time, and there is another submarine that can provide necessary rescue."
"The problem is what they encountered, it's not an iceberg, right?" Qin Feng glanced at the topographic map made by the directional high-frequency signal spectrum again, confirming that there were no large-scale objects surrounding it that were hindering navigation.
He reached out and wiped the terrain map sent back two minutes ago on the panel. Qin Feng took a deep breath. The feeling of darkness on the dark seabed was really uncomfortable.
Following Qin Feng's instructions, the directional high-frequency signals scan almost the area where the two submarines opposite are located. People with the most advanced technology can only rely on this original method of looking at the scanning pictures one by one to understand the situation in the outside world.
When the reflected signal drew the latest scan map, everyone's eyes widened.
