Chapter 1084 A sigh of relief
This was definitely an attack; the series of events could not possibly have been accidental. But what means could possibly enable such a long-range attack?
"Captain, let's send more planes and request support from headquarters as soon as possible."
"If this continues, something terrible is bound to happen. I'm afraid we might die in this sea and no one would even know."
"When did Chinese hackers become so skilled? Why haven't our Vietnamese hackers made a move?"
While Ruan Yuancheng was in a state of confusion, the group of officers continued to mutter amongst themselves.
After a while, Ruan Yuancheng issued an order: "Twelve patrol aircraft will take off. Ten will fly back to the command center to request reinforcements, and the other two will be responsible for patrol and surveillance within three nautical miles of the surrounding area."
As more than ten patrol aircraft departed from the "Xisha" ship one after another, Ruan Yuancheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If the twelve planes regroup in five minutes, he will be completely helpless.
Inside the command center of the Ocean submarine, everyone's eyes were glued to the screen.
Ye Cunxin said, "There are twelve patrol aircraft in total, and I can only interfere with the navigation systems of five of them at present."
"Don't worry, they're all waiting for us at the Weinan military base. Contact the captain of the Weinan coastal defense force and have him take over these aircraft," Qin Tian said calmly, as if everything was under his control.
Most of these patrol planes are flying westward, so how can they prove that the Earth is round? Unless they turn back, but if they do turn back, shouldn't they return to the other side's destroyer?
The crowd was not only puzzled, but also suspicious of Qin Tian. His words seemed illogical, yet he was quite capable of obediently surrendering.
On the Xisha ship, the patrol plane could be seen gradually disappearing into the distance. However, just half a minute later, the soldiers in the command center brought Ruan Yuancheng a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.
"Captain, all patrol aircraft have lost contact."
"Oh no, oh no, I should have known."
In an instant, veins bulged on Ruan Yuancheng's face. At that moment, he wished he could rush onto the deck and call those patrol planes back.
He knew full well that once these patrol aircraft lost contact, they would fall into enemy hands. If the enemy could make them fly back inexplicably, they must be able to use other methods as well.
But where exactly is this mysterious enemy hiding? How much does it know about the Xisha ship? And what systems on the Xisha ship can it still control?
Ruan Yuancheng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he was completely unaware of what was happening. The surging waves mirrored his extremely sorrowful thoughts.
What kind of enemy could be so terrifying? Even the US Navy SEALs don't seem to have that kind of strength, do they?
Ruan Yuancheng picked up the military communication equipment and then slammed it heavily onto the table.
"Completely paralyzed... completely paralyzed... the entire system is down, how can this destroyer be used?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding officers fell silent in fear, each lowering their heads in shame. Just as Ruan Yuancheng was filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent his anger, the soldier's voice, like embers in a snowstorm, brought unexpected news.
"Hey! The navigation system is working normally again."
"alright, alright!"
Ruan Yuancheng was initially delighted, but then realized that this was definitely an enemy trap, a blatant trap, waiting for him to walk right into it!
Why did the navigation system have to be restored at this particular time? How could Ruan Yuancheng trust it so easily?
The waters where the Xisha ship is located are right on the border of China's territorial waters. Once it enters the other side's territorial waters, it will have no legitimate reason to act, and even if it is completely annihilated by the other side, the Yue Kingdom can only swallow its anger.
Many officers seemed to realize this as well, and they suggested that they disregard navigation and sail in the opposite direction from Haifeng Island.
After careful consideration, Ruan Yuancheng finally agreed to the plan, sacrificing the patrol aircraft as a way to save the king.
In the command room of the Haiyang submarine, Wu Xuyang suddenly asked, "Squadron Leader, what if the destroyer retreats?"
"Follow them boldly, all the way to Haifeng Island, and we'll be home," Qin Tian said calmly. The Ocean followed the Vietnamese destroyer Xisha westward.
Soon, the members of the marine operations team noticed something amiss: the destroyer ahead was not traveling in a straight line, but rather in a curve.
As dusk fell, the sea surged and roared, as if a gaping maw had been opened, and the destroyer Xisha gradually lost its way.
The soldier reported that the navigation was on track, and at this point, Ruan Yuancheng had no choice but to gamble on the navigation being correct.
However, more than an hour passed and the destroyer still had not seen the Vietnamese coast. Nguyen Nguyen Thanh immediately ordered the destroyer to stop.
"Captain, the navigation system seems to be malfunctioning as well."
"Out of control, out of control again, someone must be up to something."
At this point, Nguyen Nguyen Thanh had no choice but to suspect that there was a mole on the destroyer.
"Ruan Ming, go and replace all the people in the power system. Check quickly, and I need the results within five minutes."
As soon as Ruan Yuancheng finished speaking, the entire command room was plunged into darkness.
"As expected, there's a problem with the power system. Quickly take some people to check it. If I'm not mistaken, we must be heading towards Haifeng Island. Once we enter their territorial waters, we're doomed."
"Right, we must first forcibly disconnect the power system; we absolutely cannot go further down the wrong path."
Ruan Yuancheng's heart sank. If the power system malfunctioned again, the ocean currents alone could sweep them into Chinese territorial waters.
All of this is so abnormal; I should have expected it long ago.
Now that things have come to this, how could Qin Tian let them off so easily?
The fleet at the Weinan military base quickly issued a warning to the destroyer. This warning was naturally sent by Qin Tian through hacking into the destroyer's internal network, making it convincingly fake.
"Vietnamese destroyers, immediately cease operations and withdraw from Chinese territorial waters, or our Chinese warships will launch a devastating attack on you!"
As soon as the sound rang out, the soldiers on the ship were thrown into chaos. The soldiers who were originally performing their respective duties all rushed to the deck.
When Ruan Yuancheng saw the lighthouse on Haifeng Island, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. No matter how much he planned, he never imagined that he had boarded a pirate ship from which he could not escape.
"I'm innocent!" That was Ruan Yuancheng's first thought. He still couldn't understand what kind of enemy could have done all this, and what methods they had used to meticulously manipulate it all.
The out-of-control Xisha ship continued its journey, and soon the lighthouse of Haifeng Island came into view.
Due to the failure to promptly repair the power system, most of the weapon systems on the Xisha were also paralyzed. The Weinan fleet formed a pocket formation on the sea, and the out-of-control Xisha slowly sailed into the depths of the pocket.
Even if we still have usable weapons, what's the point at this point?
Thus, the entire crew of the destroyer was captured by the Weinan military base. As for the twelve patrol aircraft, they had been neatly parked on the runway of the Weinan military base half an hour earlier. The twenty members of the marine operations team gasped in shock at the sight.
All twelve patrol planes were present and returned even earlier than them; everything was under Qin Tian's control.
Recalling every word Qin Tian uttered while commanding the submarine, it is now chilling to think about it now; it turns out that every detail was pre-arranged by him.
The fact that Ye Cunxin, the female hacker who easily broke into the Yue Kingdom fleet's network system, had already surprised them greatly, but Qin Tian's actions were even more unbelievable. He was taking things step by step and controlling the overall situation. Was this really their squadron leader?
They had initially thought that Squadron Leader Qin Tian was perhaps the most outstanding special forces soldier in the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade, and that the myths surrounding him might be somewhat exaggerated. But after witnessing Qin Tian's abilities today, they realized just how true those myths really were.
At the Weinan military base, Yu Hao, the fleet commander of the coastal defense fleet, walked towards Qin Tian with several officers, his shock equally indescribable.
Destroying a destroyer is not difficult for Yu Hao, a fleet commander who commands multiple fleets. But Qin Tian's brilliance lies in letting the enemy walk right into his trap without any resistance. Even if the Yue Kingdom learns of this, they will have no evidence to accuse China.
The special forces team was indeed unique, especially the squad leader Qin Tian, the sharpest weapon in the nation's arsenal; he was far more formidable than Yu Hao had imagined. Looking at Wu Xuyang, the captain of the marine operations team behind Qin Tian, Yu Hao felt a complex mix of emotions.
"We successfully captured a Vietnamese destroyer. After a thorough inspection, all systems on board were found to be intact. A total of 195 Vietnamese naval officers and soldiers were captured and are currently being held in prison."
Yu Hao came to report the situation in person. This time, he didn't have to put in much effort. It felt like a windfall. Only a fool wouldn't accept it.
"I understand. I'll go interrogate the destroyer's captain right away and find a soldier fluent in Vietnamese to act as a translator."
“No need to look anymore, I speak Vietnamese,” Wu Xuyang volunteered, hoping to find more opportunities to stay by Qin Tian’s side and learn something.
Captain Ruan Yuancheng of the Xisha destroyer received special treatment due to his special status and was imprisoned in a solitary cell.
"Besides reconnaissance, what other mission did the Yue Kingdom send you to Haifeng Island this time?"
Qin Tian's sharp gaze made Ruan Yuancheng tremble. Wu Xuyang then translated Qin Tian's words.
"Was it you...was it you who controlled the Xisha?" Ruan Yuancheng asked indignantly. Qin Tian ignored him and repeated his question.
"The United States will not let you Chinese off the hook. If you arrest me today, you will die at the hands of the Navy SEALs tomorrow."
Ruan Yuancheng grew angrier the more he thought about it. If the Navy SEALs had assisted them this time, how could the other side have possibly succeeded? They would probably have been discovered by the SEALs when they tried to hack into the network system.
"Navy SEALs? Don't disappoint me," Qin Tian mused.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully captured a Vietnamese destroyer. Your experience points have increased by 10,000."
What? Only 10,000 points? Qin Tian thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, it was just a destroyer; it was normal not to have a chance to win a prize. Right, he seemed to still have several mission completion rewards he hadn't claimed yet.
"Item lottery, knife throwing skill lottery."
Drawing two rewards at the same time feels so awesome, the anticipation is practically overflowing the screen.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a flying knife skill reward. Your submarine piloting skill has been upgraded."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won an item reward: the complete design blueprints for the Tiger Roar-class attack submarine."
During the operation in South Korea, Qin Tian's experience points skyrocketed after annihilating Delta Force, destroying five THAAD deployment vehicles, and wiping out the entire K2 base.
Four hundred and fifty thousand is already an astonishing number, but that's not all!
The mission to be promoted to major general was completed, which added another 100,000 experience points to Qin Tian's account. This was an unprecedented number for Qin Tian.
Unfortunately, experience points come quickly but go quickly.
Two hundred and one thousand experience points were used to upgrade Qin Tian's throwing knife technique, Teleportation. Now, Qin Tian's teleportation distance has reached an astonishing seventy meters.
The remaining experience points were all used up on the throwing knife technique and submarine piloting, and the experience points were almost exhausted.
In an instant, countless pieces of information flooded into Qin Tian's mind.
This information covers data on submarines currently in service with navies around the world, including detailed data on hundreds of submarines' power, range, and attack methods.
The appearance of various submarines appeared in Qin Tian's mind, and their shapes, firepower data, and functions were clear at a glance.
But understanding these is far from enough. Top-level submarine piloting skills also include the structure of various submarines: command structure, power structure, and firepower structure.
It's no exaggeration to say that if a submarine is within one kilometer of Qin Tian, with the help of his super hacking skills, Qin Tian could hack into the submarine's command center within five seconds and cut off its communication with the fleet.
When Qin Tian opened his eyes again, a ray of light seemed to shoot out from his deep pupils. His newly upgraded throwing knife skill seemed to be able to control multiple submarines at the same time, which was truly a pleasant surprise.
Qin Tian channeled a wisp of true energy into the ring on his hand. Soon, he took out a thin book from the spatial ring, about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, with only a dozen or so pages.
The cover prominently displays three large characters: Tiger Roar.
"Shouldn't someone awarded the rank of Major General receive some special items as a reward?" Qin Tian muttered to himself, then opened the document and was immediately stunned.
Qin Tian's words were not unfounded. He had hundreds of 3D images of submarines in his mind, and if this picture really was a submarine, then it was the least submarine-like submarine.
Wait a minute! Is there a mistake in the system?
"The system has confirmed that the atlas in the host's possession is the complete design blueprint for the Tiger Roar-class nuclear submarine."
When the system notification sounded, Qin Tian stopped doubting it. He just wondered why the system was giving him the blueprints. He still had to complete them from the design stage, and by then his beard would be all white.
The more Qin Tian flipped through the blueprints, the more ridiculous his previous thoughts seemed.
The Tiger-class attack submarine surpasses current top-tier nuclear attack submarines in every aspect, from its external dimensions to its nuclear-powered range, underwater displacement, diving depth, and firepower.
Take the US Seawolf-class nuclear submarine as an example. This nuclear submarine is already ahead of the top nuclear submarines of other countries in all aspects.
The Seawolf-class nuclear submarine is 99.4 meters long, 12.9 meters wide, has a submerged displacement of 9150 tons, and a maximum diving depth of 600 meters.
However, all of this pales in comparison to Qin Tian's Tiger Roar level.
