Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone on board the Colorado changed. They did not expect that things would be such a coincidence! They originally wanted the Dongfang people to bear the risk, so they spent a lot of money to invite the Dongfang people. But they didn't expect that the Dongfang people had just approached the submarine and happened to catch up with a small battery explosion?

 What to do next?

"Since you have paid the rescue fee, you must carry out the mission no matter how dangerous it is. This is your mission!" Clemings said: "If you retreat, then please pay all the rescue fees. Come out, otherwise, we will detain you!"

 Their ugly face was fully exposed at this moment. Not only could they say it, they could also do it.

"If you dare to mess around, we will also publish everything that happens here and let the whole world comment." Xu Hua is not afraid of the other party's threats: "You have your own rescue boats, but you are unwilling to dispatch them. I'm afraid it's not because It’s a technical problem, but it’s because you are afraid! You are afraid that there will be an explosion here and it will bring danger to you, so you invite us here as scapegoats.”

　　If this matter is made public, the reputation of their proud US Navy will also be tarnished.

After being defeated by the general, Clemings's face became even more gloomy.

Moriyama Nohito interjected: "Excuse me, is there any way you can rescue me in this situation?"

Don't pay attention to these quarrels. If you always worry about these, then there is no need to do anything. Now, the urgent thing before them is to rescue the people in the submarine. The people there will not last long. Yes, if timely rescue is not possible, the consequences may be disastrous.

"No." Xu Hua replied decisively: "The things there can explode at any time, and we may be dragged down when we go to rescue. Unless..."

 “Unless what?”

"Unless the battery compartment is completely cut off and towed away, far away! We will wait until everything is safe before conducting rescue. Now, we will retreat to a safe area."

 Cut? Underwater cutting to cut off the battery compartment? Isn't this a joke?

"This is simply impossible. You are passing the buck and deliberately delaying the rescue. If the people in the submarine cannot hold on and there are casualties, it will be your responsibility!" Clemings was very annoyed.

"Although it is not close to zero distance, we have also observed that the front half of the wrecked submarine is tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees, which is not beyond the rescue range of your DSRV. Why don't you rescue it yourself? Isn't it because Are you afraid of the battery exploding? If you could have used your fearless spirit to rescue bravely, everyone in the submarine would have been rescued now!" Xu Hua said: "You are afraid of death, so you come to us. Why should we? Risking your life? Where is the spirit of your US military that never abandons or gives up?"

When these words came out, the people on the Colorado were surprised again. Takeuchi looked at Clemmings with doubtful eyes. You can rescue without exceeding 45 degrees, but you dare not rescue?

 What kind of ally is this? A desperate ally? If an American pilot is killed, their special forces will rescue the pilot even if they sacrifice their lives. Now, so many island nation submariners are dying, and these Americans don't come forward to rescue them because they are afraid of danger?

“Okay, let’s talk about your cutting plan.” Clemings quickly changed the subject. Now, he had to agree with the Easterner’s statement, and his attitude became less aggressive.

“We replace the robotic arm with a cutting device and then operate it remotely to complete the cutting task, but we need the design drawing of the underwater submarine.” Xu Hua said.

 Remote control? Their deep-diving lifeboat can actually be controlled remotely? Everyone was shocked, but Takegami Futakuchi was paying attention to another thing: "No, we must not provide them with the design drawings of our submarine! This will reveal our secrets!"

Due to some reasons, the military products produced by the island countries can only be used for their own use and cannot be exported. It is precisely because of this that their weapons are kept confidential, especially diesel-electric submarines. Since the U.S. Navy's submarines have become fully nuclear submarines, They do not have conventional diesel-electric submarines, so the subsequent development of the island country's submarines is their own, including diesel engines and motors, etc. They are also produced by themselves. The outside world does not know the performance of the island country's submarines.

 Now, if the Orientals ask for the design drawings of the island nation's submarines, the secrets will definitely be leaked, so Futakuchi Takegami will never give them to them.

"If we don't have a submarine design drawing, we can still construct it. However, if we cut the wrong position because we don't understand the structure of the submarine, don't trouble us. We will have to create a new submarine rescue plan before we can start construction." Xu Hua continued.

Of course, these were all taught to him by Mr. Qin. He took this opportunity to study the submarine design plan of the island country!

 “Baga!” Takeuchi couldn’t help cursing.

The other side is so abominable. If they don’t provide the design drawings, they will cut through the pressure hull of their submarine. In this way, the poor people waiting for rescue inside will receive a fatal blow!

“By the way, not only the design drawings, we also need specific mechanical reports to prevent stress from spreading during cutting and causing the submarine hull to crack.”

This request is even more excessive. If we have this kind of information, the Easterners can study where the submarines of the island countries are weakest. When attacking, they can just attack such places directly and kill them with one blow.

“No, we would rather let the submarine sink than do this.” Futakuchi Takegami shouted.

“If you want to give up rescue on your own initiative, that’s okay, but according to our prior agreement, the rescue fee will not be refunded to you.”

These demands are quite a lot, and the islanders may not accept them. If they don't accept them, they will go back home. However, the money will not be refunded. This time, they will kill the islanders severely!

“You negotiate first, and then we’ll look at the tail section,” Xu Hua said.

There are people not only in the front half, but also in the back half. However, the back half are all low-level soldiers, so they do not receive as much attention as the first half. Since Dongfang comes to rescue, of course they must treat them equally.

This communication was temporarily suspended, and the Colorado exploded.

“Damn it, we must not let the Orientals succeed!” Takegami Futakuchi said: “We will not hand over the design drawings and mechanical data to the Orientals.”

 “Whose idea was this? Please ask the Orientals to come to the rescue!”

“How is it possible to complete the cutting task in such a short time?”

 “Alas, poor submariner!”

There are various opinions, and they have become confused.

 And their chaotic scenes also spread to Qiongzhou.

“Now, I don’t know what they will choose.” Wu Shengli said: “If we can get the design drawings of the island country’s submarine through this method, then your Mingzhou Group has once again made great contributions to our navy.”

“If we can get it, of course it would be the best. However, the islanders are not fools, so after discussion, the most likely solution is for the islanders to provide the cutting plan and let us do the construction.” Qin Tao said.

The people of the island country would rather give up the crew than give the design drawings. These big guys already know it. So, it depends on how the people of the island country solve this problem. From Qin Tao's point of view, it is in the interests of the people of the island country. What can still solve this problem is this solution.

 It depends on how long it takes for the islanders to think of it.

"Thanks to the fact that we invaded the other party's C4ISR system and obtained inside information, otherwise we would not have been able to obtain this information, let alone arrange it in advance." Qin Tao said: "This is the characteristic of information warfare. If we master the information If you have power, you will have the magic weapon to defeat the enemy."

The bubble that suddenly exploded was actually arranged by them in advance, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Anyway, as long as it complies with the principle of perspective and creates a small bubble in front of the camera, people can get the illusion that they are there. The submarine's battery compartment exploded.

Now, the difficult problem has been posed to the other party, it depends on how the other party responds.

“Speaking of underwater cutting, I don’t know how difficult it is.” Wu Shengli continued.

“We must cut underwater so that enough noise can be generated underwater to shield the opponent’s sonar device, so that our unmanned underwater vehicle can search without restraint,” Qin Tao said.

Obtaining the design drawings of the island country's submarine was an unexpected gain. Their main purpose was to go there to salvage MK48. If the unmanned underwater vehicle searches for it, it may also be exposed. As long as there is strong noise nearby, it will be fine.

"Yes, cutting will definitely produce noise. By the way, I heard that during the Cold War, the Americans once salvaged one of Lao Maozi's submarines and cut it underwater. I don't know whether it is true or not." Everyone sighed with emotion.

“Well, no one knows whether it’s true or not, but now, we can dramatize it.”

 Salvage the mother ship.

"Dear viewers, my name is Zhang Zhong. I am currently at the salvage site. Our salvage work has encountered big trouble. There are things that can explode on the submarine. Among the rescue plans currently formulated, the safest way is to cut off the explosive parts, and then Tow away so that rescue efforts can be made safe, it reminds me of a legend from the seventies.”

 Zhang Zhong did not say that the explosion was a lithium battery, because they don’t know it yet, and this thing cannot be announced easily, otherwise the public will know about it and will be very resistant to lithium batteries, which will be detrimental to Mingzhou Group’s electric vehicles.

 He just mentioned another thing.

"In April of 1968, when the North Atlantic was still very cold, the Lao Maozi G-2 class conventional submarine K-129 broke down and sank. All 60 crew members were not spared. According to Western countries at the time, this was a battery failure. An explosion occurred during the charging process, causing tragedy. However, Lao Maozi at the time believed that the submarine was hit by a US submarine following behind it. We no longer know the specific cause of the accident, but what we know is its aftermath. "

As a qualified media person, you must learn to clear up old scores. Anyway, these are no secrets. It was a global sensation back then, but it is normal for them to be refried now.

"In that era, a conventional submarine was of little value, but this conventional submarine was not ordinary. It carried three missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, plus Lao Maozi's navy's code book, etc. These military secrets are It is a priceless treasure, so the United States is looking forward to seeing it salvaged. Moreover, according to the independent work leaked by the CIA later, after the accident of this submarine, the nearby US military received a distress signal, but they did nothing."

This sentence is lethal enough. However, this is not Zhang Zhong’s rumor. There were indeed these statements at the time. During the Cold War era, in order to occupy Lao Maozi’s submarine, the US military chose to let Lao Maozi’s submarine soldiers in the water. A low-level death, although cruel, is also common.

"It is said that there were two options for salvaging the K-129 submarine at that time. The safest way was to cut the submarine underwater and only take away the valuable core parts. The other was to salvage the submarine as a whole, which was very difficult. Like a doll-catching machine.”

"Damn, these military reporters know how to stir up cold news!" Clemings said angrily on the Colorado: "I really want to arrest this guy who talks so much!"

“Sir Clemmings, let’s think about a solution to the problem. If we continue to delay, the poor people in the island countries will be like the old poor people on the K-129 submarine.” The adjutant said.

 “Is there anything you can do?” Clemmings looked at his men.

"If the islanders are asked to hand over submarine information to the Orientals, they will definitely refuse. They would rather let the crew members die than leak the secrets." Hopper said: "I have a way. If What if we let the people from the island country give us the information, let us determine the cutting procedure, and then let the people from the East cut it?"

 “In order to speed up the progress, we can also participate in underwater cutting.” Another person spoke.

"No, that thing will explode at any time. The Oriental deep-submersible lifeboat can be operated unmanned underwater, can ours do it?" Clemings said: "Now, we have no other choice but to do our work. Leave it to the Easterners, we have to protect the safety of our own personnel and equipment! As for those poor bastards, I hope God bless them."

Hope has become a strategist here, and the suggestions she puts forward are often of reference value. Clemings looked at her with satisfaction: "Hopper, how about you take on this task?"

 “Okay, let them send the information over immediately.”

Hopper is a do-it-yourself character. There are a large number of microcomputers on their warships, which can completely complete the design of these plans, much faster than those old experts in ship design. They just don’t know that when they are on their own computers, When studying the cutting plan, the design drawing also slipped along the data link.

  Qiongzhou.

"Compared with the previous generation of submarines, this island nation's submarine is equipped with silencer tiles, which can further reduce the noise of the submarine." Qin Tao analyzed: "This time cutting their submarine must start from the surface. Let's It’s just right to bring their silencer tiles back and study them.”

All countries are studying the silent technology of submarines, but the most advanced one should be Lao Maozi. After all, Lao Maozi has the strongest submarine force in the world. The submarines of the island country only started laying silencer tiles in the 1990s, which is behind Lao Maozi. Twenty years.

“Island countries are closer to the West, but their submarines still use a double-hull structure. It seems that they are also sticking to their own path.” A leader of the submarine force said.

“Yes, the Harushio class is double-hulled, but when it comes to the next stage, it probably won’t be like this.”

Qin Tao knows something about the submarines of the island nation. The next level is the Oyashio class. On this submarine, the island nation uses a mixed structure of single and double hulls, with double hulls at the bow and stern and a single hull in the middle. The most important reason is that the side sonar is installed, and the single shell is easier to deploy.

 But now, there are more reasons.

Hearing Qin Tao say this, the people present were curious: "Mr. Qin, how do you know?"

"Because our Mingzhou Group wants to lead the shipbuilding trend. Our advanced diesel-electric submarines use a mixed structure of single hull and double hull. Those guys will definitely learn it. However, we will not charge tuition fees. Let us It’s time for them to learn.”

So that’s it, everyone nodded frequently. Mr. Qin was right, Mingzhou Group wants to lead the shipbuilding trend, and those people will definitely learn from Mingzhou Group’s design concepts!

“The times are developing, technology is advancing, and design concepts are constantly changing.” The leader of the submarine force said: “We are most fortunate to be able to live in this great era and operate advanced domestically produced submarines.”

“Yes, we are living in a great era, and our nation is undergoing a great renaissance.” Qin Tao said.

 The cutting plan was finally finalized, and the relevant contracts were signed. The Jiaolong entered the water again. This time, there was no one on board the Jiaolong, and as expected, remote control was used.

"Mr. Moriyama Nohito, this is the control room. You can't go in." Moriyama Nohito saw Xu Hua and Zhang Ming entering a certain room and wanted to follow them, but was stopped.

“I want to see the operation process with my own eyes so that I can feel reassured. After all, the next step is very dangerous.”

“Same as before, there is still a live video broadcast, just watch the video.”

Moriyama Nohito had no choice but to leave and went to the next room to watch the video.

When it comes to automatic control, the island nation’s talents are the most powerful. In their annual robot competition, you can see how complex the robots are. It’s unbelievable. They can actually simulate the movements of normal people. Even grabbing eggs with bare hands is a basic operation. , look at the east again, the gap is not as big as usual.

What now? The Orientals actually surpassed the island nation in this aspect, which made Moriyama Nohito feel very complicated.

Of course, Moriyama Nohito cannot be allowed to go in to observe the operation. After all, after going down, the unmanned submarine must be released first.

The Jiaolong came to the location of the distressed submarine again, and then aimed its robotic arm at the battery compartment.

　　咣!

 There is a noise!

 The crew members in the submarine suddenly became excited, rescue was coming!

Last time they heard the sound of sonar, they were very excited, thinking that rescue would arrive immediately. As a result, it was delayed for another seven or eight hours, and now the sound was finally heard!

  Komaki Jiko looked at his diving watch, and just as he was about to say something, a harsh noise came.

The high-decibel noise produced by a chainsaw cutting things is difficult for everyone to accept, let alone underwater or on a submarine in distress!

When they heard the sharp sound, everyone was stunned. What were they doing? What's going on?

 Are they going to cut off their submarine? Damn it, we're not dead yet, you didn't rescue us first, but planned to cut the submarine apart! This is not like a traffic accident on the highway. People were squeezed into the deformed car body and needed rescue. Now they were in a submarine!

 Have you considered the feelings of the people inside?

Everyone covered their ears and cursed in despair.

 “Baga, Baga!”

Screaming and cursing was of no use, it could only make them move more vigorously, thereby consuming more oxygen. At this time, as the Jiaolong cut away, the people inside were completely desperate.

 “Bang, clatter!”

 A strange noise appeared.

"what happened?"

“Could it be that they are cutting a dangerous part?” Komaki Jiko tried to calm down. He heard that the noise coming from the part should be at the rear. Could it be that they were cutting the battery compartment?

“Everyone, calm down, calm down, they are saving us!” Komakijiko shouted loudly: “Our battery exploded, they need to cut the battery first, and then they can save us!”

“It’s more dangerous to cut the battery, why not just come and save us!”

 The people inside are sober because what they care about most is their own lives. What about the people outside? What people outside care about most is their own lives!

 This is the biggest difference.

Of course, even if it is brought up afterwards, Mingzhou Group can respond firmly: Our remote control is still difficult, cutting is okay, but for docking, the remote control technology is not up to the task, so people can only go over!

Everyone is paying attention to the progress of the cutting, but no one is paying attention. An unmanned underwater vehicle is sailing in the sea. Thanks to the noise protection of the cutting, it can sail smoothly and unscrupulously. It can even use active sonar to test when needed. In such a huge noise, no sonar operator would be stupid enough to continue wearing headphones to observe.

It was searching everywhere for an hour or two. Just when it was about to run out of power and return, a big guy lying flat on the seabed attracted its attention.

“Found it, a MK48 heavy-duty torpedo!” Xu Hua said excitedly: “We finally completed the mission assigned by President Qin!”

 The news quickly spread back to Qiongzhou, and everyone became excited.

“With this torpedo, we can better study submarine concealment and anti-submarine tactics!”

“Yes, we can also imitate this kind of torpedo!”

“Mr. Qin has done great service for us again!”
