Academician Wang Speed was really unsure. He wanted to order the ship to move forward at full speed, but he estimated that the hull would not be able to withstand it.
On the floor of the command cabin, Xiao Song and Wang Qinyun rolled into a ball. Xu Siqi helped hold down their hands and feet. Academician Wang managed to escape in embarrassment, but before he could straighten up, the floor beneath his feet fell. Trembling violently.
The shock wave of the nuclear bomb has arrived.
Several people stopped moving in unison, and even Wang Qinyun stopped struggling in shock.
"Captain, what should I do?" Su Qin pressed his hands on the core of the spacecraft and looked at each other in confusion with Academician Wang, who was standing there bent over and looking up at him.
"Hold on, don't be nervous. Our submarine itself is resistant to nuclear explosions. The best Faraday cage, at most, the newly repaired communication equipment will be destroyed again, and judging from this distance, we should not be within the killing range."
Academician Wang didn't know what to do for a moment. He said these useless words to comfort people, but the effect was very good. In fact, he didn't need to say the killing range at all.
The optical radiation and nuclear radiation have long since passed, and even the photoelectric head on the non-penetrating periscope of the Taishan was not damaged. The shock wave that finally arrived was the only thing that made people anxious.
In fact, Academician Wang is really confused now.
When the nuclear submarine of the brother army talked to him on the phone, he only mentioned two words, nuclear bomb. He instinctively thought that it was a nuclear depth bomb.
It must have exploded underwater, because it was obvious that the Tarzan was the target, but only now did he realize that he might have been wrong.
He should have thought long ago that nuclear depth bombs, a Cold War gadget, were no longer in active service.
The nuclear bomb just now was carried by cruise explosives, and there was an air explosion in the end. This was definitely not attacking an underwater target, but that weird green island was the target.
But apart from the unusual greenery, there must be something special about that island that makes it worthy of a nuclear bomb, right?
If the Taishan was still underwater at this moment, it would definitely be safe. Although the reminders given by the brother troops were vague, as long as they followed the instructions, they would definitely be able to avoid the nuclear bomb. However, whether they could avoid the torpedoes would depend on their ability.
The shock wave was not violent, but it did not pass for a long time.
what 's wrong?
"Report to the captain, the temperature in the torpedo warehouse has increased abnormally." Just as several people were staring at each other, wondering what was going on, Zhao Rongguang also came to join in the fun.
"Don't scare yourselves. The explosion occurred at the stern of the boat. Your torpedo cabin is at the bow. Why did it heat up?" Academician Wang scolded him angrily.
Poor Zhao Rongguang was nestled in the forward torpedo cabin. He had no idea that a nuclear explosion was happening behind his butt, and he had no idea what Academician Wang was losing his temper.
"Are we approaching the speed of sound?" Or Xu Siqi, the flight consultant, discovered the problem.
"We may be flying forward on the shock wave. No wonder the shock wave is getting weaker and weaker, but it still can't get through it."
"Aerodynamic heating causes the front cabin to heat up?" Su Qin also understood. To put it bluntly, air friction generates heat, causing the temperature of the bulkhead to rise. Of course, the bow is the first to bear the brunt.
"Then slow down. Too high a temperature will damage the hull, and the equipment cannot withstand such vibrations." No one could figure out how far the shock wave would have to spread before it would have no effect at all.
"No! Don't slow down yet." Unexpectedly, Academician Wang, who knew nothing about flying, came out to veto the decision to slow down.
"Is it possible to speed up? Is there any other way to solve the problem of temperature rise?" Academician Wang asked, rubbing the shoulder bitten by Wang Qinyun.
"These few minutes after the nuclear explosion are the safest for us. No radar or anti-aircraft explosives system will attack us at this time. We should make good use of it and fly as far as possible. I don't believe that there is a Now there are anti-aircraft explosives everywhere.”
"Then accelerate, and at the same time, increase the altitude. The air at high altitude is thin, and the aerodynamic heating effect will be much smaller." Xu Siqi, a flight consultant, is still very competent and immediately gave a feasible plan.
"Yes, yes, it's a rare opportunity." Su Qin immediately agreed to the plan.
"Our engines don't need oxygen anyway, so the aircraft can approach space effortlessly."
What about the engine? The core of the spacecraft is currently working on the Taishan. From the reactor to the electric motor, the generators have all stopped, and even the lighting relies on batteries.
"Then turn to true north and fly at three times the speed of sound. Can it be accurate?" Academician Wang finally made a decision. As he spoke, he touched a stopwatch and prepared to start timing.
"It's up to you to control the height. Just don't let the cabin heat up."
"You can only rely on your speed." Su Qin looked at the stopwatch but was a little unsure. This was going back to the state of aviation navigation more than a hundred years ago, but at least there was an airspeed indicator and a map at that time. Can I find landmarks?
"That's almost it. Let's fly to the North Pacific first." Academician Wang pressed the stopwatch button hard, and then turned back to mark the boat position on the electronic chart. He had completely given up on navigation.
"No matter where we are, we will not stop in the middle anyway. We will fly in a straight line without slowing down. Safety first."
The brothers Su Qin and Xu Siqi looked at each other, and they both felt that what Academician Wang said was right. Now that the Taishan did not have a protective cover, the only thing that could ensure safety was height.
The second is speed. As for any maneuvers, if the incoming explosives cannot be detected, forget it.
Su Qin immediately began to control the Taishan to climb and accelerate. Only then did Xu Siqi have time to get Xiao Song and Wang Qinyun up from the floor.
At this time, Wang Qinyun was as soft as mud and was at the mercy of others. She was mumbling and didn't know what to say. Xu Siqi hugged Wang Qinyun with one hand and took out an emergency bag specially prepared for Wang Qinyun before setting off. He closed it and tore it open with all his strength.
He took out the sedative packaged in a syringe and bit off the protective sheath on the needle. When he was about to plunge it into Wang Qinyun, he hesitated.
"Forget it." Xiao Song also felt that the medicines in the emergency kit were too strong.
"She's almost recovered. I'll switch to other medicines later and let her sleep, and she should be fine."
"What is she muttering about?" Academician Wang was bitten. He thought it was nothing just now, but now that the situation stabilized, he suddenly felt the wound on his back burning.
"A nuclear bomb is so far away. I don't believe she knows what it is. Whether she knows it or not, it won't scare her crazy, right?"
Several people looked towards Su Qin. Su Qin was busy over there, so they had to listen while busy.
