Chapter 11 Pondering the Extreme

"Boss, where do you say we're now?" Lying on the two-meter-long, one-meter-wide bed in the cabin, the dark cloud asked with a staring eye.

"I don't know. Perhaps, it has sailed out of the Yellow Wave continental shelf and approached the first sonar network? Lei Dong calculated and replied.

Once the submarine dives to the bottom of the sea, there is no longer day and night, and some only work and rest according to the standard Hanjing time. And this huge undersea giant has very little noise. In the past, the team members had also taken nuclear submarines during training, and without exception, the sound was so loud that they could be heard several nautical miles away, but this Pangu-class, I don't know if it was because it was changed to a new nuclear reaction method, and even the huge sound of cooling water that should have been there was very slight in the cabin, and only a dull buzzing sound could be heard.

Now that it has been more than five hours since it went to sea, the submarine is not moving at full speed, but is slowly moving along a huge trough on the Huangbo continental shelf at a speed of about 15 knots.

According to this speed, the current position of the submarine should be between the Huangbo continental shelf and the submarine plain of the East China Sea, and this area is also the middle zone of the "Sea Dragon" submarine sonar defense line jointly laid by the Minia Federation and the Jeppen Empire.

As early as several decades ago, during the Cold War, based on the lessons learned from the two world wars and the great importance attached to maintaining underwater superiority, the Federation of Minia established a fixed underwater acoustic surveillance system in several major sea areas in the world. This array of acoustic sensors, which are laid along the seabed, rocks on the seabed and the continental shelf, are interconnected to form a complete underwater monitoring system.

The first is called the "Sea Dragon System," which is located in the Pacific Ocean in front of the Republic, and is located in the so-called "first island chain," starting from the Jeppen Islands in the north and reaching the Phillip Islands in the south, forming a complete encirclement of almost the entire sea off the Republic. The second "Sea Spider" and the third "Giant" underwater surveillance system cover almost the entire northern part of the Pacific Ocean.

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, during the brief honeymoon with the Republic against the Souss Federation, the Minia Federation once shut down some of the systems, but with the strong rise of the Republic, the system was reactivated, and the Jeppen Empire, which was afraid of the world's leading anti-submarine strength, also joined in, forming a more rigorous surveillance network.

According to Chen Jianhong, who has just left, the Republic's multi-channel submarine unit has found several extremely slight loopholes in this surveillance system after many designs, tests, and tests, and this has ensured the safety of the course on which our submarines sail.

What Chen Jianhong didn't know was that before setting off, Lei Tiangang explained to the team members that for this mission, the Republic of China also took advantage of the repeated provocations of several small countries in the South China Sea to specially increase the frequency of the activities of the submarines of the South China Sea Fleet, and deliberately exposed flaws, the purpose of which was to make a noise and attack the west, involve the attention of the two countries, and create greater room for maneuver for the secret sea of the Hanjing nuclear submarine.

Despite this, Lei Dong is still worried about this voyage, not afraid of 10,000, just in case! However, seeing the appearance of several other people, Lei Dong was a little helpless, especially Wuyun and Song Jingang, who were lying on the bed without a straight shape, chatting there with Erlang's legs crossed.

"You're not worried at all?" Lei Dong couldn't help but ask.

Song Jingang pursed his lips, changed his legs and crossed them in mid-air, and sneered: "What is there to worry about, this captain is very deep-"

"Isn't it?" Dark Cloud interjected impatiently, "That guy is also a ** master...... It's the same as a gorilla! ”

Song Jingang, who was sleeping on the bottom bunk of the dark clouds, immediately quit, kicked on the bed board of the upper bunk, and scolded: "I rely on you to find death, you are the gorilla, you are the **!" ”

Dark Clouds laughed: "Did I tell you?" Did I say you? Hahaha, why are you in a hurry? Besides, you seem to be able to beat me......"

Looking at a group of noisy team members, Lei Dong could do nothing but shake his head and smile bitterly and sigh at the nerves of this group of guys?

In the midst of laughter, the dark cloud suddenly sighed, and said with a sad face: "Damn, I'm really a little worried......"

"Hey," Song Jingang shouted, "You guy with nerves thicker than cables and thicker skin than city walls, and you have something to worry about?" ”

Wuyun rolled his eyes, scolded and rolled, and then said depressedly: "As long as I think that in two days, we will be shot out of the fish **, my heart is itchy......"

The team burst into laughter.

Several team members who go to sea to carry out special tasks by submarine may not have such experience, but this kind of training is indispensable for every special forces. The diameter of the torpedo tube is generally only more than 50 centimeters, and the larger ones are only more than 60 centimeters.

But this was the only way to get out of the submarine, and the team members were uncomfortable, and the dark clouds even began to wriggle on the bed. Only Lei Dong sighed and said: "I'm not afraid of drilling fish**, I'm afraid of dealing with Jiepeng people." ”

Lei Dong's words made everyone surprised, what is so terrible about dealing with Jiepeng people, not to mention that everyone's Jiepeng language has been under the intensive assault training, and he has learned it so badly, he can't hear foreign accents at all, at least everyone is of the Oriental race, and he can't tell it from his appearance at all, so it's a big deal to pretend to be dumb when the time comes?

Fortunately, Lei Dong didn't make everyone wonder for long, and gave the answer directly: "I just think the name of the Jiepeng people is too weird, and I can't hold back my laughter when I think about it, what if I can't help but leak the bottom when the time comes?" As he spoke, he sighed for a long time.

"Jeppen's name?" The team members were stunned for three seconds, and they couldn't help but eat and laugh.

The most widely circulated rather tongue-in-cheek claim about the Jeppen surname is bizarre. It is said that the Jiepeng people are warlike, and in ancient times, almost all young and strong men were conscripted to fight as soldiers, and there was no time to get married and have children, so there were fewer and fewer people. At that time, a national ruler came up with a national policy, so that all men could have sex with any woman at any time and place to maintain the birth rate of the population. So during the truce, the Jeppen women were accustomed to the way of "anytime and anywhere", and simply went out with pillows and sheets, which later became the so-called "kimono" now, and many women were "no matter when and where", and the other party did not have time to tell the surname, so they went to war again, so the children they gave birth to appeared "Inoue", "Tanaka", "Matsushita", "Takeshita", "Watanabe", "Yamaguchi", "Minatoda", "Kondo" and so on......

"Damn," Lei Dong couldn't help but smile and said, "You say, the surnames are Unai, Wuxia, and Tanaka, and those surnamed Temple Gate and Ring House, what are their ancestors doing in the Monk Temple?" ”

"And also, there is also the surname soy sauce, what's going on? There are also surnames Kojiri and Yin Di, what is the saying? "The clouds are also interested.

"There are also people with the surname Five Ghost Help, Five Ghost Works...... Damn, it's scary to think about it......" Lang Tianyu, who had been silent and maintained the image of pretending to be B, suddenly interjected, and with a trembling action, it made the team members laugh.

"The more I talk about it, the more I slip away!" Lei Dong pouted.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Dive to 400 meters." Chen Jianhong gave the latest order.

"Yes, down to 400 meters." The navigator repeated Chen Jianhong's order, and the submarine began to dive slowly. After a few hours of sailing, the Hanjing had sailed out of the continental shelf along the narrow trough and slowly into the submarine plain, where the submarine could finally sink to a deeper depth.

Further on, the submarine will enter the East China Sea basin, where the submarine will dive to about 500 meters of thermocline, complex water flow, water quality and density, will effectively interfere with the transmission of the submarine's sound, at the same time, the cold and heavy sea water, will also have a great isolation effect on infrared and magnetic anomaly detection, with the assistance of the new anti-sonar device, the "Hanjing" will silently penetrate all the reconnaissance and obstacles in front of it.

The General Headquarters attached great importance to this operation, and after receiving the order that "there must be no room for error," Chen Jianhong lay on his stomach on the chart and studied it all day, comparing various currents, topography, and meteorological data, and finally determined this route.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this huge strategic nuclear submarine of the latest model of the Republic will not go through the Gugong Strait, which is usually highly guarded by the Jeppen Empire, but will go all the way to the southeast from the Porchia Yellow Sea, penetrate the first island chain from the vast East China Sea, turn around in the East China Sea basin and move westward, and penetrate directly into the east coast of the Jeppen Empire from the Pacific Ocean.

Although this road is a little farther away, there are more loopholes in the enemy's defenses, and the safety of this route is more secure than the Gugong Strait, where the sonar base array is dense.

It's just that I don't know what part of these "new guests" are? What exactly is their mission? To dispatch the "Hanjing", and to ask for foolproof? Chen Jianhong was extremely curious.

But as a veteran soldier, Chen Jianhong also knows that it is an iron law in the army not to ask what cannot be asked. Chen Jianhong's heart itched.

"Dive to a depth of 400 meters!" The sound of the navigator's report sounded, interrupting Chen Jianhong's thoughts.

400 meters, for some old submarines, is already the ultimate water depth that can be reached in battle, and the huge sea pressure will press the hull of the submarine to the ground, but for the Hanjing, this depth has little effect.

Chen Jianhong perked up: "Direction 2-9-0, full speed!" Turn on the anti-sonar assist system! ”

"Yes, direction 2-9-0, full speed! Turn on the anti-sonar assist system! ”

At the sound of the captain's command, the "Hanjing" began to accelerate, but the sound seemed to be even quieter than before.

After giving the order to move forward at full speed, Chen Jianhong handed over the command of the submarine to the chief navigator, left the command room, and walked to his lounge. There, there was a small safe that had been brought to the ship before departure, which was to be handed over to the "guests" when they left, and that safe could only be opened by them. Standing next to the safe, looking up at the direction of the cabins of several "guests" dozens of meters away, Chen Jianhong felt that he was a little closer to that secret.
