At this moment, Oliver's expression froze, and the duty officer next to him showed a look of astonishment.
Immediately afterwards, all the sailors and operators in the command cabin seemed to be going crazy, putting the equipment in a protective state as quickly as possible while making the strongest preparations for impact resistance.
The whole process seemed like an instinctive reaction.
Three hundred meters, what is this concept?
In the sea, the anti-submarine Yuba, which slowed down at the end and entered the water vertically, arrived 300 meters to the left with Sea Wolf as the center, at a depth of about 60 meters, and the integrated fuze activated the warhead.
"Boom!" The explosion that resounded across the ocean floor came as promised without being late. The shock wave that gathered high amounts of energy erupted from the heart and spread to all sides.
Three tenths of a second later, it collided head-on with the right side of the hull, which had a surface area of more than a thousand square meters. The surging energy poured out like a torrent and was poured into the metal on the surface of the hull. In this extremely high level of physical energy, Under the energy impact, extremely fine cracks appeared on the surface of the shell that was affected by the water pressure.
These extremely fine cracks are like the capillaries of the human body, dense and slender. They can only be seen with a metal flaw detector. Under the continuous infusion of shock wave energy, these fine cracks quickly spread to the surroundings and inside, as complex as a spider web. .
Cracks appeared in the metal on the surface of the shell, which meant that a fatal situation had occurred.
The shell finishing strength decreases!
After 0.01 seconds, numerous metal cracks spread at high speed all over the surface area of the Sea Wolf's left hull, affecting an area of approximately hundreds of square meters and a damage depth of approximately 15 millimeters.
A second later, the second fatal thing happened. Under the strong impact of the shock wave, the high-performance silencing tiles installed on the surface of the boat hull lost their structural strength. The turf-sized silencing tiles looked like they were being crushed. The wounds opened by people are falling off like scabs.
This is the anechoic tile used by Sea Wolf. Its coefficient and performance in absorbing sonic energy far exceeds the anechoic tile used by other nuclear submarines in the world. It is one of the top secrets possessed by Sea Wolf.
In the end, the Sea Wolf, which was traveling at a maximum speed of 39 knots per hour, was directly pushed sideways by thirty centimeters under the influence of the lateral shock wave.
"Didi!"
At the same time, countless alarms rang in the Seawolf command module, sharp and harsh beeps continued, and various ship-borne combat systems were issuing warnings. Each sailor was suffering from pain. Any impact in the past, even if you are well prepared to resist the impact, you will still suffer varying degrees of damage.
In the mild cases, they were dizzy, and their necks felt as painful as if they were sleeping on a stiff pillow. In severe cases, they were comatose or had fractures. Many sailors in the torpedo warehouse and reactor warehouse were directly thrown into the air by the impact, and they hit the nearby metal wall hard.
This time, all the sailors were injured and no one survived.
Just when the crew and sailors were confused, the high-sensitivity sensors throughout the boat had acquired data related to metal cracks on the surface of the boat. The main computer system on the boat calculated based on the data and quickly came up with a result - the entire hull. The intensity reduction coefficient reaches 12%!
In an instant, a bright red and dazzling danger warning appeared on the large screen of the command module. Regarding the overall strength reduction coefficient of the shell, it ranked second among all information.
The warning that ranked first among all the messages was that thirty-five silencer tiles fell off the hull due to the shock wave.
A total of thirty-five pieces!
"Sir, the overall strength of the hull has dropped by 12%, and the overall strength of the left hull surface has dropped by 30%. Sensors show that the shell has developed metal cracks under the impact of the explosion. Our boat is no longer able to dive to the maximum depth."
"Sir, all cabins are in good condition and there are no accidents."
"Sir, the 118th to 129th anechoic tiles, the 220th anechoic tiles, the 230th to 241st anechoic tiles, the 290th to 312th anechoic tiles fell off, the total number is thirty-five. piece."
"Reporting to the commander, the bow sonar shows that the explosion point is located 299 meters to the left."
After a few seconds, the crew and sailors who came to their senses processed various on-board systems as quickly as possible, learned the current situation of Sea Wolf, summarized various information, arranged them according to importance and threat, and reported them one by one from the most serious to the least. .
Based on the current information, the current situation of Sea Wolf can be described in one idiom, shocking!
The elegant and smooth streamlined body seems to be suffering from leprosy. The silver metallic color after the sound-absorbing tiles have fallen off forms a strong contrast with the overall black and gray paint, and it will never return to its original appearance.
Seawolf, which reflected the highest manufacturing craftsmanship like a work of art, turned into a defective product in an instant.
"Sir, the hull of the boat is seriously damaged, what should we do?" In the command cabin, a sailor with blood streaming from his head said to Oliver, who had just stood up.
At this moment, the experienced duty officer who was responsible for assisting the captain had completely passed out. During the impact just now, his already broken right arm suffered serious secondary injuries, severe pain and injuries. It made him unconscious immediately.
In the entire command module, only Oliver, the first mate, and the watch officer were left. The deputy captain and second mate were all injured and sent to the infirmary for emergency treatment.
"Will the overall strength of the shell continue to decline, endangering navigation safety?" Oliver shook his head, dizzy and tinnitus, came to his senses, glanced at the command module full of wounded and bloodstained, and took a deep breath.
They didn't ask about the most important issue about the falling off of the anechoic tiles, because Oliver knew that they couldn't turn around and go back to salvage the anechoic tiles.
For the thirty-five pieces of anechoic tiles that fell off due to the shock wave, we can only pray that the other party will not get it.
The sailor at the navigation position replied: "Sir, as long as the current speed and water depth are maintained without being affected by external forces, the overall strength of the shell will not continue to decline. We are safe for the time being."
The implication is very simple. If it is affected by the outside world again, such as the opponent's torpedo explosion at close range, the overall strength of the shell will continue to decrease.
When the overall strength of the shell drops to the limit, the entire sea wolf will collapse on itself and lead to destruction.
"Ten minutes, the opponent's transmission frequency is ten minutes every time. In other words, we still have nine minutes and thirty seconds of safe time."
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the most critical moment when he had to give up. Seawolf was worthy of the title of No. 1 in the world. He raised his head and looked at the time on the big screen with a look of determination on his face: "Hang on, sailors. , we must hold on, friendly forces will be here soon."
persist in.
Never give up until it is absolutely necessary.
His favorite sea wolf has too many ulterior secrets inside, and if it is forced to surface, it may be leaked.
Upon hearing this, the crew and sailors nodded and silently stood at their posts, silently praying that the other side would not get silencer tiles, and silently hoping that friendly forces would arrive in the next second.
The feeling of a torpedo exploding right next to your ears is really uncomfortable.
"The temporary strike effect is good. No. 101 visually discovered that there are suspected to have fallen off anechoic tiles on the Sea Wolf. The number is about thirty, and the latitude and longitude coordinate parameters are..." Zhou Hai gently pulled the joystick and controlled the J-15C under him. 'Tiger Shark' changed its posture and stared at the sea wolf at a depth of about 70 meters below. When it discovered the peeling muffler tiles on the hull, its eyes suddenly lit up, as if it had discovered a golden mountain.
While evaluating the torpedo strike effect, the whole person quickly made his own judgment and sent precise longitude and latitude coordinate parameters.
