Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine - Chapter 135
Latest URL: Just when the feedback signal on the sonar display just showed the outline of the beacon site.
Another beacon site, an even bigger behemoth, appeared on the three-dimensional projection of the display screen at the same time.
In appearance, the object has an approximately rectangular appearance, with one end slightly flattened.
It is similar to the shape of the Falcon-class submarine, a new member of the fleet.
However, the size of that object was much larger than the F-class Falcon-class exploration craft.
Not even a beacon site can compare to it.
According to the proportion projected by the sonar display, the overall size of the object must be at least the size of an E-class submarine.
It is similar in size to the E-class frigate I encountered outside the Rongyan Outpost.
“An E-class submarine?! Arrived before us?”
Meng Lei took a deep breath and looked at the object that was clearly the outline of a submarine, with a strange look on his face.
Due to too little information, he can’t tell whether the submarine has just arrived or has been parked here for a long time.
If it is the former, then everything is easy to say, everyone is just a coincidence.
But if it’s the latter, then something is obviously wrong.
The purpose of the submarine parked here is self-evident, it is to repair the beacon site.
Because the location of the beacon site is generally on the surface rock formation several kilometers away from the normal shipping route, under normal circumstances, no one will turn here properly.
But a long time has passed, and so far, the network signal has not been restored.
It’s hard not to wonder if something unknown happened to the submarine.
While thinking, the Sea Locust kept moving forward, gradually approaching the location of the submarine and the beacon station.
When the distance between the two sides was only about one kilometer away, Meng Lei did not dare to get closer, and hovered the Sea Locust in place.
At the same time, a new contact object was also refreshed at the end of the short-distance communication system list, which must be the strange submarine in the distance.
Now that there is communication, everything is easy to talk about.
As long as you can get in touch with the other party, you can determine the current situation and the current state of the other party.
The only thing that puzzled Meng Lei was.
Under normal circumstances, the short-distance communication device installed on the submarine can receive the signal from the other party’s ship two kilometers away.
Its communication distance is similar to the limit distance of sonar detectors.
But the ship’s communication system was obviously disturbed in some way, and it wasn’t until the Sea Locust approached a distance of about one kilometer that it received the signal from the other party.
This is indeed a trace of abnormal feeling.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Lei didn’t think too much for the time being.
After stopping the fleet, he launched a short-distance communication directly at the unknown submarine with only a long list of numbers.
“Drip…drip…drip…”
After a while, the other party did not respond at all.
Neither reject nor accept.
As if a ghost ship with all its crew members disappeared, hovering quietly in the darkness in the distance, there is a strange breath invisibly.
“What’s the situation? No one answered? Did something really happen?”
Meng Lei frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition gradually emerged in his heart.
At this time, Hans, Hawke and others, who were unknown, opened the hatch of the bridge command room and walked in from the outside to inquire about the situation.
Meng Lei briefly described the current situation, and everyone immediately looked at the sonar display in unison.
“Have any of you encountered a similar situation before? How is it generally resolved?”
Meng Lei asked seriously.
It is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing and has no experience, hoping someone can give some valuable advice.
After pondering for a long time, Hans took the lead and said:
“Under normal circumstances, the maintenance of the beacon station only requires the engineer to go out of the cabin to handle it, and the crew on board does not need to be dispatched collectively.
In particular, even if there is no captain on duty in the bridge command room, there will always be people watching various data on the ship, and it is impossible for no one to answer the short-distance communication application.
In this situation, there is only one possibility! “
Speaking of which, Hans took a deep breath, a dignified expression appeared on his face, and said solemnly:
“Eighty percent of the people on this ship are dead!”
Hans’s tone was firm.
Said to be 80%, but the expression on his face showed 100% confidence.
As soon as this word comes out,
The temperature in the command room of the bridge of the Sea Locust seemed to turn cold in an instant.
Everyone present felt a strong chill for no reason.
“Dead?!”
Huo Ye shouted: “The boat is still standing here, neither sinking nor tilting, which proves that all functions are still functioning normally, it doesn’t look like it was attacked, then why would the people on the boat die? “
Simon on the side took a deep breath, frowned, and said solemnly:
“There are too many possibilities to give an example. Without a close-up observation of the real situation, it is impossible to determine the truth only with sonar detection data.”
“for example?”
Xu Hui interjected and asked: “Such a situation is definitely not common, we have to make some preparations in advance based on experience, right?
Otherwise, if you are so rashly close to check, what if you are also recruited? “
Simon shook his head when he heard the words, and sighed helplessly:
“There is nothing to prepare, and we don’t have exploration drones installed on our ship, so we can only drive the ship directly.
Or just like last time, send a group of people to enter the army as underwater, and quietly touch it to check the situation.
Other than that, there is no way. “
Simon’s voice fell, and everyone present turned their attention to Meng Lei and handed over the decision to him.
“No matter what happened ahead, the beacon station must be repaired, otherwise, we will not be able to move forward at all.
Now we turn around and turn around again. Too much time is wasted, and our food supply is not enough to support us to re-plan our route. “
Hans looked at Meng Lei worriedly, and said solemnly:
“Captain, what to do next, you decide as soon as possible!”
In the dignified atmosphere of the bridge command room, the voice of Didi’s communication application continued to reverberate, as if the bell tones of life lingered in my heart, making people extremely nervous.
Meng Lei listened to the discussion of several people, and was also thinking in his heart.
After a long while, he finally made a decision, his eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly:
“In this case, it is absolutely impossible to sail directly in the past. Even E-class frigate-sized submarines have been recruited. If there is any danger, 80% of our F-class submarines will not escape!
It’s better to send someone out of the cabin to come in and investigate, it’s safe. “
Everyone nodded, and maintained a high degree of approval for Meng Lei’s decision.
Then, Meng Lei called the captains of several other frigates through the short-distance communication system and briefly introduced the situation.
“It’s probably the case,
Now, I need each of you to send an underwater progressive force to go out of the cabin and go to the beacon station for reconnaissance.
No matter what you find, report it as soon as possible! “
“Yes!”
After Zhang Chao and the others received the order, they immediately nodded and agreed.
From this point, we can see the benefits of teamwork. Even if the road ahead is dangerous, Meng Lei doesn’t need to do it himself.
It is completely possible to remotely command the people under his command to explore the way and minimize their own risks.
This is the first time Meng Lei has enjoyed the privilege of being a commander, and it feels pretty good.
Soon, with the issuance of one order after another, the security officers on each submarine took action one after another and began to gather at the door of the airlock chamber in full armor.
Taking advantage of the time to integrate the team, Meng Lei commanded the fleet to move forward a certain distance.
At a distance of about four or five hundred meters from the submarine and the beacon station, it hovered silently.
During the whole process, nothing abnormal happened, and everything was quiet.
The surrounding sea water is dreary and gloomy, and it is incomparably desolate and dead. There is not even a single swimming fish, and the quietness is heart-warming.
And the mysterious unknown submarine never answered the communication, and the communicator kept making rapid beeping sounds, which made people feel flustered.
At this point, Meng Lei really didn’t dare to move forward.
About 500 meters can be said to be a relatively safe distance. If you get closer, it will be difficult to respond in time if there is an emergency.
At present, this distance is exactly the limit of the maximum signal range that the wireless communication headset can receive.
While the reconnaissance personnel are moving forward, it is also convenient to communicate with the ships and report the situation in time.
When everything is ready,
Including Huo Ye and Simon, a total of fifteen security officers from five ships walked out of the hatch of the airlock room at the same time, and then completed the assembly at the front porthole of the Sea Locust.
Except for Huo Ye and Simon, the fifteen people wore ordinary diving suits of the same style, with underwater propellers in their hands, standard weapons such as grenade launchers and underwater rifles on their shoulders, and hand-held sonar detection on their waists. device.
A group of people lined up in a neat row, suspended in the void-like ocean, like a group of swimming fish, gradually drifting away toward the dark depths in the distance.
Meng Lei stood at the front of the command room of the Sea Locust with his hands behind his back, watching them go away with his own eyes.
At the same time, he kept reminding him in his earphones.
“Everyone pay attention to safety. If you find anything, report it immediately, don’t act rashly!”
In the earphone, Simon’s low and stern answer came:
“receive!”
He is the captain of the reconnaissance mission, responsible for leading the team, and a senior security officer with rich experience in underwater combat.
With this guy Simon, it’s enough to handle most emergencies.
It didn’t take long for the lights from the underwater thrusters to disappear into the darkness in the distance.
Even the high-power searchlights on the top of the Sea Locust could no longer capture the reconnaissance team.
A line of milky white outlines was engulfed by the endless darkness around it.
In the headphones, only the heavy breathing of everyone came, and the whole world fell silent again.
Time passes by unknowingly.
About half a minute later, the reconnaissance team still did not find anything unusual.
Simon reported in the headset that the sonar detector showed that they were very close to the ghost ship and the beacon station, only about a hundred meters left.
At this time, the signal of the short-distance communication headset gradually began to become unstable.
The transmission efficiency of electromagnetic waves has reached the limit, and if the reconnaissance team goes further a certain distance, it is very likely that the communication will be completely interrupted.
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, Meng Leiluo pondered, and then controlled the Sea Locust to move forward for a certain distance, keeping the communication smooth.
At this time, Simon suddenly shouted in the earphone:
“Captain, we have reached the target position, the submarine appears to be running, the engines are not off, the external searchlights are working, there are no signs of trouble!”
Hearing this, Meng Lei immediately frowned and said doubtfully:
“What’s the matter? Where did all the people on the submarine go?”
Simon said solemnly: “I don’t know, let’s take a closer look. There seems to be something at the bottom of the submarine, and I can’t see it clearly. I…”
The sound of sizzling electric current appeared in Meng Lei’s earphones.
Even if he and the reconnaissance team always kept a certain distance, when Simon approached the submarine, the signal seemed to be disturbed in some way and became extremely unstable.
As a result, Meng Lei couldn’t hear Simon’s second half sentence clearly.
All I know is that he seems to have found something and is about to go to investigate.
Meng Lei exhorted in a deep voice in the earphone:
“Simon, be careful no matter what, if the situation is wrong, return immediately, do you hear?”
“I know… Captain…”
Simon’s answer was intermittent, fortunately, it was probably a positive answer.
Meng Lei took a deep breath, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the center console and lit it to ease his anxiety.
“Anti-God Evil God”
He stood in the cockpit with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth constantly, worried about the development of the situation.
In the headphones, apart from Simon’s commanding voice, the others didn’t communicate much, and Meng Lei didn’t know what they saw on that ship.
After a while, an exclamation suddenly came from the earphones.
“Damn…it’s actually Qiu…shut…everyone retreat…urgently dive, quick! Don’t be touched by those cells!”
This voice was obviously made by Simon, and there was a hint of anxiety and panic in his tone, apparently finding something extraordinary.
Meng Lei was shocked when he heard this~www.mtlnovel.com~ was about to speak.
At this moment, a chaotic exclamation came from the earphones.
“Damn, what the **** is this?!”
“Fire, fire quickly!”
“They came out of the cabin…too much…too much…what the **** is this…”
“Listen to the captain… retreat first… don’t get hit by them… hurry up… ah…”
…
for a while,
Exclamations, curses, howls, and the muffled sound of guns firing.
It rang out in a very short time.
The investigation team seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying, and it became a mess in an instant!
