945 Ho Chi Minh's small abacus
According to the service life of the detector battery (low-power distress state), it can be maintained for at least 2 years, and it is said that there is still a gap of 14 months, and I don't know why there is no signal. The worst is probably to be salvaged by the Japanese. If this is the case, it will help them to finally confirm the existence of 419 and receive some technical support in underwater navigation. 419 was subjected to a modern anti-submarine* attack last year, but then no such incidents occurred, and it seems that the enemy can only roughly throw ready-made * and cannot really copy such technology.
It is not known whether China's underwater vehicles, which use more complex autopilots than *, will inspire them in any way.
He wandered around the shipwreck, looking for the tubes. Immediately before 419 crossed over Kasugamaru, sonar detected an explosion, indicating that the crossing was used*. He'd have to find these things, retrieve one, and do a principle analysis.
Thanks to the Japanese, they secretly cleared a path that made exploration easy. Of course, the last passage to the stern of the ship was still blocked by twisted steel plates, but this time, he came prepared. Shuping installed a laser cutter in front of the thruster. The power of this thing is limited and it is impossible to cut through the outer hull, but the non-load-bearing parts inside the Kasuga Maru are made of a lot of aluminum alloy and thin steel plates. His thrusters use fuel cells, which can sustain a 15-kilowatt laser beam for a short period of time, and can cut steel plates up to 3 centimeters thick. Of course, it is necessary to calculate precisely before cutting, starting with the most efficient route, because the battery life is very short. Of course, the marks left behind after cutting are bound to be different from the itchy arc cutting methods that the Japanese might use, but at this point, these are not managed.
According to the probe, the last time the information sent back through the fiber optics, he did not take any detours. Reaching a gap, the detector got through the breach, and then lost control (the fiber was cut).
The breach is larger than the last time seen and has clearly been cut. The Japanese had been here, and if they had used a short female diver, they might have been able to get in, but Lu Qingshan couldn't get past with his equipment. So he calculated the shape of the steel plate that needed to be cut, and studied the place of the scissors like a professional tailor. Having made a plan, he began to cut the steel plates, and soon doubled the area of the hole, and then drilled into it.
Everywhere the lights went, the first thing they saw were two dead bodies sunk to the bottom, wearing heavy diving suits, which were not the dead on the Kasuga Maru back then, but the divers later. Look at the body shape may be female. Apparently they spent too much time digging into this little hole, and then they couldn't go back, and they suffocated here. So it's unclear if they've taken anything from here (his main concern is the detector).
Lu Qingshan manipulated the thruster to continue to move forward, and wherever the pillar of light went, he saw a thin wire. He realized that it was the detector at the time, the wire that had been cut. So he chased after the fluttering fiber, hoping to find the thing at the end of here. But at the end of the fiber, there's nothing, that thing is really gone.
He continued to look for the launch canister in the stern. In the half-buried cabin, he found the place where the probe had photographed the nine launch tubes.
He left the thrusters behind and walked forward, trying to unscrew the pipes. But the valve is already embroidered and cannot be opened. Before cutting, he used a portable ultrasonic detector to make a thickness survey of the emitting tube wall using an arc surface area to facilitate the adjustment of laser power. Because no one knows that the inner cut is easy to dissipate heat, and those* may not work for a long time, but it doesn't hurt to be cautious. He was cut off from the outside world here, and he couldn't get technical guidance, so he had to be careful himself.
Having done all this, he began to cut the walls of the barrel. If you can't do it all at once, you'll have to go back to refuel, and you'll have to go through a few hours of decompression, so it's best to do it all at once.
He carefully cut a gap in the barrel with a depth of 19.5 millimeters, slightly thinner than the 2-centimeter-thick wall on his side.
It took 8 minutes for him to cut a perfect circle. Then from the floor, I found a broken tube, which was not heavy enough to carry, so I threw it away, and then looked for other heavy objects. Underwater, buoyancy helps people lift heavy objects, but the resistance of the water also reduces the speed at which heavy objects are lifted, so you have to find a heavier one. Fortunately, there were a lot of metal objects scattered around the ship, and it took some time for him to finally reach a solid metal stand.
He's going to use this thing to finish the final work and smash a hole, and of course if he does this, there will be a sound. The number is on the head, and you should be able to hear it, but you can't take care of it.
Lu Qingshan picked up the stick and smashed it over, even if it was in slow motion in the water, but with enough weight, it still exerted a certain amount of kinetic energy.
The sound of "clang" came out of the hull, and 419 received the signal at the same time as the Noh band. 419 Of course he knew what was going on, but he was confused by Captain Ayase on the code name, Lu Qingshan's mess happened to be the beat he agreed with the divers, and the emergency afloat beat (regardless of length or short, smashing in one breath, it means that there is something underwater and needs to be floated).
Being able to hear underwater movement again is of course the best news for the anxious Ayase, who will bear a huge responsibility if a diver has a collective casualty accident (and of course the responsibility is his). The silence just now sent chills down his neck. Now there's finally a voice,
He ordered the winch to pull the steel cables and pull all four diving bells up. He knew that the decompression was not complete, but the new diving bell design allowed the diver to continue to decompress with the help of external air pressure after leaving the water, which was of course a little troublesome to operate.
The four diving bells were pulled up one after another, and Nakasa Ayase, who was waiting excitedly on the deck, saw a scene that made him jaw-dropping. All diving bells are empty. Strings can be seen hanging from underneath each diving bell. Zhongzuo was so confused that he panicked and ordered the crane to continue to drag. The ropes continued to be rolled up from the water.
Eventually, 12 upside-down corpses, dangling, appeared in front of the eyes of all the Japanese on the deck. Ayase went to the deck and shuddered. As far as the eye can see, the heavy submersibles and oxygen tankers are intact and free of holes, indicating that they have not been attacked by * or kinetic weapons. So what kind of power did they die from?
Deputy Captain Fujimaki took over the command of Captain Ayase, whose limbs were twitching and foaming at the mouth, Fujimaki was no less frightened than the captain, but he knew that he didn't have much responsibility, and he wouldn't have a high probability of seppuku like Ayase, so he could command more calmly.
Everyone put the diver down, and then opened the diving suit, and found that the corpse was dead in a horrible manner, each rolling his eyes, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his skin was black and purple. There are many doctors on board, many of whom are experts in diving diseases, but they can't understand the cause of death. Apparently not due to latent culvert disease. It's more like a death from being hit by a heavy object on a construction site, but there are no broken bones.
At the same time, the Japanese government impatiently sent a statement to the White House through the Swedish Red Cross on the deaths and injuries of civilians in San Francisco, which was a political test after the Konoe government showed its strength, and he felt that when Chu Tingchang stopped the Japanese Empire in all two stages, with the power of nuclear bombs, he could force the allies to sit down at the negotiating table.
The statement began with a regretful expression.
After a pretentious mourning, the Japanese side further said that in order to prevent such things from happening continuously, the only way to end the war between the United States and Japan is to stop it. The Japanese side is ready to permanently divide the Pacific Ocean with the United States. If Roosevelt had any expectations for peace, Japan could even preside over negotiations with all the participating countries, including Europe.
As a tentative document, the statement, which was forwarded through Sweden, was not as triumphant as the broadcasts sent by Japanese submarines. However, Konoe's tone has also become more and more arrogant, and he is no longer just focusing on the Pacific hegemony, but also wants to dominate the pattern of the world. He probably felt that less than 20,000 tons* was enough for him to build a world order based on fear.
Roosevelt was speaking at Berkeley when he received a telegram from Washington.
He didn't think much about it, and chose to come to power again, and read aloud this brazen and tentative document of the Konoe cabinet.
When he read that the Japanese people cherish peace and can coexist with other civilized countries, the atmosphere broke out again. Roosevelt staggered from his wheelchair and waited for the raging crowd to regain its composure.
“…… Prime Minister Konoe probably got one thing wrong, and Japan is not a civilized country that we think can coexist. I swear here, I'm going to put this piece of paper," he said, waving the telegram in his hand, "and I'm going to stick it on our 'big *' and give it back to the Japanese." ”
The Manhattan Project remained secret, but he made a temporary decision to cheer up the people, using the word "big*" to imply that the United States would soon have something similar, and of course not too explicitly.
In the city of Saigon, 2,000 Japanese troops from the left battalion rushed to defend the arc defense line in the port area. It was the last area of Japanese control in South Vietnam, and the loss of Saigon meant that the Japanese Empire was cut off from the land. Sakagaki decided not to leave the place and vowed to live and die together in Saigon. Of course, the Viet Minh rabble, even if ten times outnumbered, would have been difficult to break through the Japanese lines.
The Japanese army shrank its forces and took the initiative to abandon most of the urban areas, which made the Vietminh think that they were very powerful, and even reported to Chu Tingchang on their radio that within an hour, they could capture Saigon completely, but after a few hours, the last tenth of the urban area could not be gnawed.
After all, Ho Chi Minh was politically minded, and he was well aware that the political value of capturing Saigon far outweighed his strategic value. In fact, Japan's maritime communication with the South Seas would not be affected by the capture of Saigon, but politically, it was a major victory. Even, Chu Tingchang's counteroffensive from the East Indies all the way to the ultimate value is reflected in the presence of even a single soldier of the Allied forces on the coastline of Vietnam. This meant that the Japanese Empire was henceforth divided between the north and the south.
