Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 85 Monster Attacks
"Woo~"

At around 23 p.m., the Yuanlang suddenly sounded an urgent alarm. All officers and soldiers on the ship immediately took their positions. Yan Andong came to the command room with a serious expression.

"what happened?"

"Report to the captain, the radar detected a large unidentified object approaching, 15 kilometers away from us!" an officer immediately replied.

"Can you tell what it is specifically?" Yan Andong remained calm and unmoved.

Another soldier stood up and replied with some embarrassment: "According to the images, the shape of the object is constantly changing and its movements are very flexible. It is very likely to be a living thing!"

Living creature? Yan Andong was stunned. What kind of creature was big enough to trigger the alarm of Yuanlang?

"Have you sent the message or called?" Yan Andong said with a serious expression.

"I called, but there was no response!" the soldier replied.

Yan Andong nodded and gave a direct order: "Launch the anti-submarine torpedoes and destroy it!"

The officers and soldiers present were stunned. Are they going to start fighting right away?

Although they felt it was somewhat inappropriate, the officers and soldiers immediately carried out Yan Andong's order.

"call out!"

An anti-submarine torpedo rushed into the water and headed towards an unknown object at twice the speed of sound.

"boom!"

A huge spherical splash of water rose from the sea surface, and the roar resounded through the sky. The Yuanlang, which was more than ten kilometers away, could clearly hear the explosion.

"Check the target's situation!" Yan Andong ordered again.

After some operations, an officer replied loudly: "The anti-submarine torpedo is ineffective, the target is accelerating towards us!"

"How come it's ineffective? Did it miss the target or cause no damage?"

"No harm done!"

Yan Andong's face became completely serious, "Launch the remaining 11 anti-submarine torpedoes at the same time!"

"Received!" the officers and soldiers replied immediately.

Boom boom boom!
After eleven consecutive explosions, the officers and soldiers started detecting again.

"It's still ineffective!" The officers and soldiers were a little panicked. They couldn't believe that something could withstand 12 anti-submarine torpedoes without any damage.

The officers and soldiers in charge of monitoring the target shouted at this time: "The target's speed has increased significantly, and it has now reached 800 kilometers per hour! It is still rising, 900, 1000, 1200 speeds of sound! The target has exceeded the speed of sound!"

Yan Andong took two steps to the screen and looked at the bright red 1300km/h with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Breaking the speed of sound in water? How is that possible? You have to know that their latest anti-submarine torpedo has a speed of only 200 kilometers per hour, and that is achieved with its streamlined shape and small size.

According to the radar, the target's length is over 80 meters and its shape is similar to a lobster. How could something of this size and shape break the speed of sound underwater?
No matter how unbelievable it is, this is the situation. At the target's speed, it will collide with the Yuanlang in less than 40 seconds. Judging from the fact that 12 torpedoes cannot cause any damage to it, as soon as the collision occurs, the Yuanlang will be torn into two pieces in an instant!

boom!
Punching the console with his fist, Yan Andong gritted his teeth and asked, "Do we have any weapons that can carry out underwater attacks? Or it doesn't matter if it's not a weapon, at least we have to slow down the target!"

"Captain, we no longer have any weapons that can carry out underwater attacks, but the target is constantly rising. When it rises to a depth of about 30 meters underwater, we can launch anti-ship missiles at it and use the shock wave generated by the explosion to reduce its speed!" In less than two seconds, the technicians came up with a plan.

Their anti-ship missiles are weapons used to attack surface ships. After launch, they usually fly at subsonic speeds. When approaching the target, they can break through the target's defense network and attack at four times the speed of sound.

This weapon is incredibly powerful, but it cannot attack underwater targets because it is too fast and will detonate once it touches the water surface.

But these are all controllable. The control room can completely disable automatic detonation and perform manual detonation, and the speed limit can also be lifted.

The only thing that needs to be noted is that if the missile enters the water too deep at four times the speed of sound, the missile body will not be able to withstand the huge impact and will be damaged, and then it will not be able to detonate.

However, detonating the missile on the water surface will not produce a strong enough shock wave underwater. Therefore, everything depends on the skill of the operator, who must detonate the missile before it enters the water and is destroyed.

The target speed is one times the speed of sound, while the missile speed is four times the speed of sound. The slightest difference will make the missile completely ineffective, and the operator only has a few tenths of a second to react.

Yan Andong also knows the risks involved, but he believes in his comrades and the skills they have honed over the past ten years!
The plan was quickly approved, the anti-ship missile launch unit began to preheat, and the missile could be fired at any time.

The Yuanlang is a modified destroyer. Its vertical launch units are more than half the number of a normal destroyer, and its anti-ship missiles are only two groups of 2 missiles, while the rest are air defense missiles.

It is estimated that it will take 20 seconds for the target to rise to the designated depth. In order not to give the target time to accelerate again, Yan Andong decided to launch a missile 8 seconds before contact to block it.

The missile reaches the designated position within two seconds and engages with the target at close range, then detonates immediately. Even if the target cannot be harmed, the shock wave can be used to disrupt the water flow and reduce the target's speed.

In this way, missiles were launched from far to near, four missiles each time, for a total of four times, blocking the target 500-1000 meters away from the Yuanlang!

The plan that was put forward in just a few seconds was so detailed that it showed the elite level of the Hanxia Navy. However, it was so difficult to just stop the target's first round of offensive. How should they fight next?

寂静中，一名观测员开始报数：“目标上浮至指定深度，导弹发射倒计时开始：10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1！发射！”呼呼呼呼！

Four missiles took off in succession and flew towards the target location. Two seconds later, the missiles dived into the water and landed right in front of the target. It was a monster that looked like both a fish and a shrimp.

Hmm? The monster rolled his eyes, as if wondering what suddenly appeared in front of him.

Bang-!
Almost as loud as one explosion, four missiles exploded at the same time, and the intense flames instantly illuminated the entire body of the monster.

Its body is like a shark, with dozens of slender long legs growing on its abdomen, a noticeable exoskeleton on its body surface, a head and tail like a lobster, and two large claws that are ferocious and terrifying, almost the size of a house.

With a body over 80 meters long, pincers over 30 meters long, and tentacles on its head that are hundreds of meters long, it is definitely a giant monster. It is enough to star in an entire episode of Ultraman!

The explosion itself did not hurt the monster, but the flames made it quite frightened. The violent water flow fluctuations caused by the explosion greatly affected its movement that was accelerated by the water flow, and its speed suddenly dropped by more than half.

Its body continued to move forward nearly a thousand meters under the action of inertia. By the time it reacted and continued to accelerate, four more missiles exploded in front of it.

After repeating this four times, the monster finally stopped 700 meters away from the Yuanlang. Compared to the 211-meter-long Yuanlang, this distance was already very close.

Perhaps it was the interference of missiles from angry mortals. The monster poofed out of the water, revealing most of its body in the air, and let out a roar that shook the earth: "Ah——————!"

The sharp sound made Yan Andong and the officers and soldiers dizzy, and the porthole glass suddenly burst into fine cracks and then shattered.

Yan Andong and others forced themselves to steady themselves and looked towards the sea to the side, taking in the monster's entire body.

Monster? ! !

Although they had known through radar that it might be a living creature, the fact that the torpedoes were unable to penetrate the defense later made them overturn their previous speculation. This kind of defense could never be achieved by a living creature. It must be a new type of submarine from a certain country.

The subsequent underwater supersonic movement once again overturned their speculation. Human technology is not yet able to reach this level. Perhaps, it was the creation of the remains of an unknown ancient civilization?

But now that they actually saw the target and heard the target's roar, they were able to confirm the target's identity.

It turned out to be a monster!

Yan Andong was the first to come to his senses, and roared an order: "Fire all the missiles!"

The officers and soldiers also came to their senses, suppressed the fear in their hearts, and entered commands without saying a word. All vertical launch units were activated, and hundreds of air defense missiles roared towards the same target!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—boom!

The sound of missiles flying through the air continued to be heard, violent flames continued to appear on the monster, and the deafening roar was endless. After a full half minute, the whistling finally stopped.

Did you make it?

There was silence in the control room, and no one dared to breathe, for fear of affecting the final result.

However, after the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, the sight of the sea surface made everyone feel chilly.

Unscathed!

Alas, I didn't expect that the things that were originally intended to be used in the ruins would have to be used here. Yan Andong sighed, with a determined look on his face.

"Yuanlang, listen to the order. Unlock the highest authority. Password: 20153121YSOKJH02185. Activate the vibration warhead. Execute immediately!"

The firm voice awakened the stunned officers and soldiers, but it also shocked them again.

Is this, talking to them? I haven't rehearsed this command, how should I execute it?

Just when the officers and soldiers were at a loss, a cold electronic female voice sounded: "The highest authority has been unlocked, the order is executed, the vibration warhead has been activated and can be fired at any time."

In a flash, all the screens in the control room were controlled, the deck suddenly cracked open to reveal the interior of the ship, and all the vertical generating units were moved away, revealing the special black hull hidden deeper inside.

What is going on? The officers and soldiers were shocked and looked at Yan Andong, who gave the order, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

Looking at his men who were hesitant to speak, Yan Andong ignored them and ordered in a deep voice: "Lock on the monster on the right and fire a vibration bomb!"

Not only did the officers and soldiers of the Yuanlang control the ship and it started to move autonomously, the engine roared suddenly, and the bow of the ship turned towards the monster within 3 seconds. A black missile shot up into the sky, rushing into the sky at ten times the speed of sound, and then fell towards the monster at the same speed.

It was not until this time that Yan Andong began to explain: "The Yuanlang is essentially an intelligent warship. It is the latest warship that Hanxia has reproduced based on the intelligent system unearthed from the ruins of ancient civilization. The armed freighter on the surface is just a cover to hide the real Yuanlang inside. This is a special warship dedicated to performing secret missions. Only I know about it, and only I can activate and control it. If it weren't for this critical moment, I would not activate this warship. But after we go back this time, none of us may be able to go on missions again."

Everyone was silent. Since they had seen this latest type of strategic equipment, it was only right that it should be controlled.

"Captain, it doesn't matter whether we go on the mission or not, but can that vibration missile really kill the monster?" a technician asked worriedly.

"Haha!" Yan Andong laughed softly, "A vibration warhead is a special warhead that forcibly causes destruction of the target through resonance. In experiments, such a warhead can completely destroy a 10-ton aircraft carrier and break it into pieces. It's just a monster. It can resist anti-ship missiles. So what? It's dead!"

Yan Andong's tone was full of confidence, as if he had already seen the monster being blown to pieces.
