With a "click", the worm's claws were sawed off. The "Pippi Shrimp" narrowly escaped the trap before being pulled into the abyss. It quickly rose 20 meters before hovering. Ling Hao watched in shock as the sea floor continued to collapse like an earthquake, spreading to the distance. This time he had a brush with death, and his hand holding the joystick was still trembling uncontrollably.
A dazzling light shone towards the "Pippi Shrimp". It turned out that the huge "Stone Crab" had already sailed above Ling Hao. The latter calmed down and adjusted the "Pippi Shrimp" to the connecting port on the top of the "Stone Crab" for docking and locking. After the two submersibles are connected in space and become a whole, they can begin the long decompression process.
Ling Hao carried the captain of submarine No. 751 from the "Pippi Shrimp" to the "Stone Crab". Everyone took the dying captain to rescue him. Ling Hao said to Tian Yong: "Contact the superiors and ask Once the weather conditions change, we will be ready to surface."
If a person is unlucky, his farts will hit his heels. The typhoon named "Latio", which is called "Latiao" by some unscrupulous people, did not make landfall in the East China Sea, but a 90 ° Drifting, he finally turned to the surface of the Yellow Sea as he wished, and rushed towards the wrecked sea area. The typhoon is still some distance away now, and strong winds of magnitude 6-7 have already blown on the sea surface, setting off a 3.5-meter surge.
There is no way to stay at the bottom of the sea, and there is not enough electricity to sustain the "Stone Crab" while floating in the middle level until the typhoon passes. The deep submersible is not a ship, and its stability on the water surface is poor. When it reaches level 7 wind, it will definitely look like a ball on the sea. Rolling everywhere like cattails, boarding the ship was Ling Hao's only option, and he had to do it quickly. In two hours, the wind on the sea was expected to rise to Level 9, and the wave height would reach 5 meters.
Country C's new frigate was also in bad luck. It was severely damaged by Yuan Bingke, and countless steel rings for fastening ropes were welded to the helicopter deck. In order to strengthen the crane, six support frames were frantically welded on. Chief of Staff Park rubbed his forehead and did not dare to look directly.
Shi Si also put away her large pile of various screens, chassis and circuits, and sent all the idle personnel back to the cabin. The entire helicopter deck was cleaned as much as possible, and the fixing plan for the submersible after it was boarded has been completed. The sailors had rehearsed several times, and everything was ready, just waiting for Ling Hao and the others to surface.
This is probably the fastest surfacing speed among Ling Hao's saturation diving missions. The "Stone Crab" floated almost vertically to the sea surface like a bubble. The rapid loss of pressure outside the cabin made the "Stone Crab" "The sound of metal deforming kept making "creaking", and a group of country C submarine soldiers turned green with fright. However, Ling Hao and the four of them were very calm. The "Stone Crab" and "Pippi Shrimp" were It was developed and built by Han Shipbuilding Group, one of the top ten shipyards in the world, at a huge expense. It is definitely among the top ten deep submersibles in the world in terms of performance, advanced equipment and diving depth. Its shell The structure's ability to cope with such an increase in speed is within the design specifications.
In just 8 minutes, the "Stone Crab" rushed out of the water with a crash, just over 200 meters away from the frigate. Although its maneuverability under water is very good, its propulsion system does not work on the water, and it can only stay put and wait for the frigate to come up.
After a while, the frigate stopped in front of the "Stone Crab", and the boom slowly stretched out. Yuan Bing led two sailors to hang on the steel cable, and landed on the "Stone Crab" together with the hook. He first inspected the connection between it and the "Pippi Shrimp", and then together with the other two people, hung the hooks one by one on the lifting rings of the "Stone Crab".
Lifting is the most dangerous thing. The "Stone Crab" is huge, and with so many people inside, its weight has reached the limit of the crane. However, under strong winds, the pull of the wind plus the "Stone Crab" The ship was swaying in the wind, and the warship was rising and falling on the waves of nearly 4 meters. If you think about it, you will know how difficult and dangerous it is to lift the "Stone Crab" onto the ship.
After hanging the hook, Yuan Bing and a few sailors jumped onto the rubber boat nearby and returned to the frigate. Shi Si pulled him to his computer screen, pointed at a hoisting simulation animation on the screen and said, "I've already calculated it. Come over and look at it, and remember it carefully in your mind! Follow the usual rules The hoisting method is definitely not possible. Neither the boom nor the frigate's deck can withstand the tearing weight. We have to use "smart skills" to make it happen. Now the "Stone Crab" and the frigate are exactly 5 meters apart. The distance is almost the same as the amplitude of the waves. At this moment, the wave height is close to 4 meters. We need to choose an opportunity where the 'Stone Crab' is at the crest of the wave and the frigate is at the trough, try to reduce the height of the hoisting, and then rely on the waves to lift the 'Stone Crab' 'The inertia of the upward throw is like a 'four or two' move, and the crane pulls it to the deck with one swing."
While looking at the animated pictures on the computer screen, Yuan Bing could open his mouth enough to stuff a steamed bun. "Shi Si, you are a genius, but you are definitely a madman. Your idea is too crazy. If it succeeds, it will be a classic case. If it fails... it will also be a classic case, just the opposite."
Shi Si gave Yuan Bing a stern look and said, "I don't think I'm crazy. You installed the boom and drilled the holes on the deck. You know how much weight they can bear. I'm not crazy." Can the Stone Crab get on the deck? Leave the crane to me and I will use the computer to control it. You only need to be responsible for the fixation of the Stone Crab."
Ling Hao and others could do nothing now. They could only watch Shi Si and Yuan Bing perform. The wind on the sea was getting stronger and stronger, the wave height had reached 4 meters, and raindrops had even begun to fall. Shi Si was sitting in front of a crane simulation system, staring at the undulations of the waves on a computer screen next to her. She was ready to operate the crane to complete the last dangerous task in this rescue mission.
The countdown is 23 hours, 5 minutes and 21 seconds. Although this countdown is meaningless now, the rescue work is not over yet, so there is no reason to remove the timer, and everyone's sense of urgency will not disappear.
A surge lifted the frigate, and Shi Si's hand was already on the control column. The frigate slowly descended, and the surge lifted the "Stone Crab" up again. This wave was perfect. When the Stone Crab was on the crest of the wave, the frigate was right on the trough.
Shi Si stared at the monitor without blinking, tapping the joystick one at a time, tightening the crane's steel cable with the waves. At the last moment, when the "Stone Crab" was closest to the frigate's deck, Shi Sijiao shouted and pulled down the control lever. The eight steel cables instantly stretched straight, and the frigate's hull tilted slightly.
"Hook it up!" Shi Si's cheeks were red and he roared with eyes wide open. The motor of the crane arm had begun to raise a faint smoke. The "Stone Crab" was like a big fish, being forcibly hoisted. The machine "fished" out of the sea and swayed back and forth under the influence of the strong wind. The crane arm made a "creak" sound in protest, and with a "crack", a fixing bolt of the crane support rod broke and popped out, nailing the frigate's shell fiercely. Zheng Xiurong and Pu Yongen, who were standing not far from Shi Si, also had nervous faces. Although one was an agent chief who was used to all kinds of battles and the other was a general who had been tested by blood and fire, they were also attracted by the thrill of the scene and Shi Si. Shocked by his boldness and madness.
"Hold on!" Shi Si had already stood up, staring at the screen and roaring. Three support rods of the boom outside were bent and deformed, and the light smoke from the motor had turned into white smoke. The "Stone Crab" has swung to an outward limit like a pendulum. If the boom breaks at this time, it will be thrown directly to the sea a hundred meters away, and the several-ton boom is connected to If the steel cable falls into the sea, it will pull the "Stone Crab" to sink to the bottom of the sea. Although there are divers in the "Stone Crab" who can remove the steel cable when it reaches the bottom of the sea, the ship cannot be boarded without the boom. The "Stone Crab" stores The power will not be able to sustain for two days, and more than 30 people in the cabin are still decompressed. The consequences of a power outage will be catastrophic.
Finally, the "Stone Crab" passed the extreme point of its outward swing and began to swing inward. Taking advantage of the change in strength, Shi Si pulled the joystick to the bottom and forcibly twisted the steel cable back two or three times. rice. The poor motor finally burst into flames and was completely "sacrificially sacrificed". The tight steel cable was released wantonly as if it had been pardoned. The "Stone Crab" sank hard as soon as it passed the height of the frigate. , falling heavily towards the helicopter deck.
"Be careful! Tighten the anti-skid cable! Don't let it fall again!" the officer of country C shouted to the sailors. With a "boom" sound, the "Stone Crab" hit the helicopter deck diagonally from a distance of about two meters from the deck. The friction produced a series of sparks, and seven or eight anti-skid cables wrapped around the corners of the "Stone Crab" like trip wires, finally keeping it firmly in the middle of the helicopter deck.
"Hurry up and fix it!" Yuan Bing ignored the ship being tossed in the huge waves and rushed forward with a dozen sailors carrying the cables and began to fix the Stone Crab to the deck. At this time, the waves became even bigger. , and it rained heavily. The "Stone Crab" was tied up and fixed on the helicopter deck, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Xiurong stopped the countdown device with a smile. The number on it was fixed at 22 hours, 1 minute and 56 seconds. The 30 crew members of the 751 submarine spent a full 7 days in the dark deep sea, and the number from China This top private diving rescue team completed this arduous task in less than 6 days after arriving at the crash site. It can be seen that her original choice was correct. This time, things were done beautifully. She will naturally be more respected.
However, Park Yong-en, the chief of naval staff, looked ugly. At this moment, the crane arm had completely tilted to the edge of the deck. 4 centimeters of the steel deck was torn, and the deformed area was even larger. In addition, it was damaged by the "Stone Crab" A large area was dented by the smash. I am afraid that the deck of this battleship will have to be returned to the factory for overhaul after returning.
What follows is a 20-day decompression period. Although it is long, it is not dangerous. The frigate has returned to its home port of "Nampo" Naval Base in the huge waves.
A few days later, the weather gradually improved. The advantage of arriving at the port was that there were many cranes. Yuan Bing unloaded the "Pippi Shrimp" from the "Stone Crab" and put a lot of fresh food in the two decompression chambers. , delicious food, pressurized and connected to the Stone Crab.
Since "landing" safely on the frigate, Ling Hao has completely let himself go. He only eats and sleeps every day. He is relaxing purely "revengefully" after meeting the Lord of Hell.
The submariners have become tired of the compressed food and military rations prepared by Ling Hao and others these days. Except for the fact that they still maintain a certain appetite for instant noodles, the sight of the others definitely makes them want to vomit. After docking with the decompression chamber, the quality of life instantly improved. Not to mention many fresh vegetables, various kimchi, soybean paste, fried chicken, and pork belly looked appetizing. Especially two bags of rice and a rice cooker, they are simply worshiped. As a black-haired Asian, not being able to eat rice for a month is simply a dream.
Ling Hao and others calmed down obediently, while Shi Si was just fooling around in a cunning way. However, Country C is a famously mysterious country. Let alone getting off the ship, even on this small frigate, the places it can go are strictly demarcated. Guards are standing guard everywhere, and no one can Half a step beyond the thunder pool.
After 20 days of being under house arrest, the doors of the decompression chamber and the "Stone Crab" were opened at the same time, and a group of people walked out. Defense Minister Cui Jincheng and Navy Chief of Staff Park Yong-eun led a group of women holding flowers. Soldiers and reporters from major media were already waiting below the frigate. The submariners received new military uniforms and were required to dress neatly for photos with their leaders.
As foreigners who were not suitable for such occasions, Ling Hao and the others naturally would not participate in such an event. They just borrowed mops and rags, and the six of them cleaned their beloved "Stone Crab" together. After all, With more than 30 people living there for a month, it is not difficult to imagine the air quality, especially the garbage generated by eating, drinking and defecating, which must be disposed of in time. However, this is a military port and cannot be discharged casually, so I had no choice but to contact Zheng Xiurong again.
The female agent led a few cleaning staff to deal with the most difficult problem, then looked at Ling Hao and said: "2.2 million euros have been transferred to your Swiss bank account. Since you are businessmen, you have something to say. , are you interested in developing in country C?"
Ling Hao smiled and said, "Thank you. If you have any business introductions in the future, just come to me. As for coming to country C for development, we are the ones who love our families."
