Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 76: Battle record + 2, displacement + 90000 (4K)

The black manta ray slowly ascended at a low speed. When it reached a depth of 1000 meters, Wei Jiang noticed several small detection signals displayed on the screen.

These small detection signals were suspended stationary within 50 meters below the water surface and did not evacuate with the exercise fleet.

While Wei Jiang was paying attention to a large number of small detection signals, the exercise fleet's active sonar scanning system, which was continuously turned on at full power, had already discovered the traces of manta rays.

“Finally it showed up!”

"I've been looking for you for hours, and I finally couldn't help it?"

Looking at the new small frame signal appearing on the green monitor, Cliff showed a cruel smile on his face.

"Have Water Kangaroo 02 prepare the torpedo!"

"Notify other ships to prepare depth charges!"

"Anti-submarine helicopters take off, wait until the damaged target surfaces and then attack directly!"

"Yes! General."

Half an hour ago, because the fleet had been searching for a long time without any results, Cliff decided to command the fleet to pretend to return to port.

This tactic of retreating to advance was successful, and the opponent really took the bait.

"The hunting party begins!"

Following Cliff's order, all personnel in the exercise fleet were mobilized.

The fleet formation and sailing speed remained the same as before, and Cliff's goal was to lure the enemy deep into his territory.

The incoming submarine is now submerged at a depth that is beyond the attack range of most of the fleet's attack methods.

In order to successfully snipe the target, you must wait for the target to float to a water depth of about 800 meters.

This depth is already within the attack range of the MK48 torpedo. Even if the enemy wants to escape, water depths above 1200 meters are within the torpedo attack range.

A total of nearly 20,000 soldiers in the fleet are on duty, and there are people guarding the communication equipment in every cabin to ensure that action is taken against incoming targets as soon as possible.

The most excited among these people are the senior generals of each participating party. If they can destroy the target, they may be able to obtain the technology related to the target submarine, even if it is just the hull material of the submarine.
-
After confirming that the small detection signal displayed on the screen was close to the sea surface, Wei Jiang refocused his attention on the signal of the giant ship in the center of the fleet.

The manta ray's diving depth continues to decrease.

900 meters,

850 meters,

The signal of another submarine in the fleet was only a little over 1km away from the manta ray, and Wei Jiang's heartbeat became faster and faster.

Next, it’s up to him and Manta Ray to make history!
He will bring the Ugly Eagle 2024 Circum-Ocean Exercise to an end today.

The distance was enough and Wei Jiang’s expression was solemn.

Manta searchlight, turn on!

A long black submarine was clearly displayed on the cockpit screen on the upper right, but Wei Jiang's eyes did not linger on the submarine's hull.

Above the submarine, there was a huge shadow of a ship surrounded by white water splashes, CVN-70!

The speed and power are at full capacity!
"Dry!"

The Manta Ray's power response is very fast. When Wei Jiang pushed the left putter forward, the previous slow and flowing sailing style changed instantly.

Verses 15, 22, and 29.
The black submarine is getting bigger and bigger on the screen, and the manta ray's speed has increased to 32 knots!
Looking at the shadow of the giant ship occupying an increasingly larger area of ​​the viewing window on the screen, Wei Jiang saw on the screen two small cylindrical objects being thrown out by the submarine!
torpedo!

Manta Ray Found!

That’s not all. Small detection signals appeared one after another near the sea surface.

After the torpedoes leave the submarine, the fuel burns quickly and powerfully, pulling out long streams of bubbles and water behind the two torpedoes, with an acceleration no slower than that of a manta ray.

Looking at the torpedo turning around and rushing towards the manta ray, Wei Jiang's facial muscles tensed and he clenched his teeth.

"Shit! If you want to attack me, you have to catch up first!"

His eyes were locked on the shadow of the tail of the giant ship on the sea. Ignoring the red torpedo signal that kept flashing red on the screen, Wei Jiang grabbed the push rod with both hands and turned it.

The manta ray turns to the right and continues to accelerate with full power!
When it comes to speed, manta rays are never afraid!

"rush!"

The atmosphere in the command room of the giant flat-top ship's island was tense; the display showed the incoming submarine moving at an extremely high speed and clearly continuing to sprint.

The change in the incoming target's course indicates that the opponent has realized that it has been locked by the attacking torpedo.

"Target speed 32 knots! And accelerating!"

"According to the target heading analysis, contact with Water Kangaroo 50 will occur in 02 seconds!"

"It's too late to charge depth charges. The enemy has passed the bomb's attack range."

"The other party has not given up the intention to attack!"

Faced with the torpedo lock and pursuit, the opponent actually wanted to ram its own submarine.

Cliff had not expected such a resolute mentality. The depth charge attack was ineffective, and now he could only rely on the two torpedoes.

"How long will it take for the torpedo to catch up with the target? I want the exact time!"

Cliff, who was looking forward to explosion and destruction, faced an opponent who was as crazy as him. All he wanted now was to see the opponent being destroyed by the MK48 torpedo.

"23 seconds! Checkmate!"

Just as Cliff was about to raise the corner of his mouth, the voice that had just answered his question rang out again.

"The target is still accelerating! The current speed is 45 knots!"

"It will take 36 seconds for the torpedo to catch up!"

This reminder shocked everyone in the command room!

"Why can the other party's submarine accelerate so fast?!"

After an afternoon of mobilizing all intelligence systems around the world that Ugly Eagle could influence, Cliff found nothing.

The lack of intelligence made him extremely angry at the moment, because the other party did not act according to the script he had planned before.

"43 seconds! Checkmate!"

"Damn it!"

Cliff slammed his fist hard on the desk in front of him!
The distance between the incoming submarine and the two pursuing torpedoes on the display was slowly closing, which was not a good sign.

Because in the past few seconds, the incoming submersible was rapidly approaching Water Kangaroo 02!

"Notify the submarine to take emergency evacuation! Quick!"

In order to avoid the risk of being hit, Cliff was quite decisive.

One of the Kangaroo submarines participating in the training had already been attacked, so the remaining one had to be saved at all costs.

"Yes! General!"

"Report! The target's speed has increased to 70 knots! It's impossible for the torpedoes to catch up with the target!"

After hearing the report, Cliff's face was as gloomy as water.

"Damn it! How is this possible!?"

"How can it be so fast!?"

"A submarine that can accelerate faster than a torpedo? God!"

Listening to the screams from others around him, Cliff suppressed his anger.

"Shut up! You idiot!"

Faced with an opponent sailing at a speed beyond everyone's expectations, Cliff felt powerless for the first time.

In his decades of military career, he had never encountered a situation like this one where the Ugly Eagle was crushed by others.

Intimidated by Admiral Cliff's majesty, the command room was unusually quiet, although they still found it difficult to accept what they saw.

"General, the enemy has no attack submarines."

"The target passed by Water Kangaroo 02."

The signal on the display showed that the incoming submersible signal passed the submarine signal and continued to rise at a high speed.

Although I don’t understand why the other side did not choose to attack the submarine, this is good news after all.

The submarine was saved temporarily after all.

"Calculate the enemy's action target as quickly as possible! Send the submarine aboard"

Before Cliff could finish his words, a new situation arose.

The soldier who reported the underwater intelligence had a hoarse voice, and even trembled with a slight sense of disbelief.

"The torpedo is being jammed by the target and is heading towards Water Kangaroo 02, Admiral."

"Contact is very likely in 15 seconds."

Two of our own torpedoes?

After hearing the report, Cliff remembered that there were two torpedoes chasing closely behind the target.

As he looked at the sonar detection display, two signals representing torpedoes were rushing towards the only remaining submarine in the exercise fleet at an extremely fast speed.

300 meters below the giant flat-top ship, alarm bells had already sounded in the Kangaroo 02 cabin.

Looking at the torpedoes getting closer and closer to the submarine, a very bad emotion filled everyone's heart.

There is a high possibility that their submarine was hit by its own torpedo!

"Full right rudder! Full right rudder! Dodge! Dodge!" Everyone was shouting in horror. Not long ago, they had confidently launched torpedoes to try to attack the unknown submarine target.

The two torpedoes that were supposed to be focused on the target were now speeding towards them!
"Damn it! Get out of the way!"

"God, please save me! Buddha, please save me!"

Two MK48 torpedoes, this is an attack that a conventional-powered submarine cannot withstand.

Some people screamed in fear, while others decisively chose to use seat belts to secure their bodies to metal parts in the cabin.
Perhaps God and Buddha cannot control what is underwater, so luck did not come to all the soldiers of Water Kangaroo 02.

A few seconds later, with two loud bangs in succession, the submarine shook violently and all electronic equipment in the cabin went out.

There were constant collisions, cries of pain, and calls for help.

Before the shaking ended, seawater began to invade the space inside the boat, the emergency power supply started, the red alarm light flashed, and the hull tilted.

Some people who survived the explosion were wailing constantly. Death had not taken them just now, but death was still slowly approaching.

The tail of the submarine was damaged in the explosion and the submarine is slowly sinking.
Inside the command room on the island, everyone was shocked as they watched the torpedo signal disappear from the display screen.

The fact is starkly laid out before us: Water Kangaroo 02 was destroyed by its own torpedoes!

All the soldiers in the boat died! Because the data on the display screen showed that the submarine was slowly sinking.

Cliff's hands were bulging with veins as he held onto the podium!

In front of him, in front of 29 forces, in front of more than 40 extremely powerful military equipment, and in front of nearly 2 soldiers.

A small submarine with an unknown identity and a displacement of less than 100 tons actually caused them such huge losses!
You should know that there were 02 fully staffed soldiers and generals in the Water Kangaroo 60 submarine that was hit.

"Lock on the target! Look for an opportunity to attack!"

"I want it to die!!"

A roar came out of Cliff's mouth, and it seemed as if there were 60 people in his mind constantly accusing and cursing him!
"General! The target is heading towards the rear of our ship!"

"The enemy's target is us!"

The shock, fear, sadness and anger just now had not yet dissipated when new information shocked everyone again.

"are you crazy?"

"A small submarine is here to hit a 9-ton ship?!"

Cliff complained a bit, but he didn't dare take the risk.

The exercise fleet could not afford any more losses, and the attack on two submarines was far beyond the limit that everyone could accept.

The huge flat-top ship under Cliff's feet could not afford any losses.

"Anti-submarine missiles, anti-submarine torpedoes launched!"

"Set the exact explosion depth!"

"I want it to be blown to dust in the water!"

"Yes!"

As Cliff's order was given, several frigates, including giant ships, responded quickly.

Amid the smoke, there were constant bang sounds, and anti-submarine missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes were fired into the sea.

The engines of missiles and torpedoes are started the moment they enter the sea water, and they rush headfirst towards the incoming submarine according to the set position.

This time, Cliff was determined to destroy the incoming submarine, and launched more than a dozen missiles and torpedoes into the sea.

Inside the cockpit of the Manta Ray, the sailing depth is 130 meters and the cruising speed is 75 knots!
Small detection signals continued to appear on the screen. On the external camera footage, Wei Jiang saw torpedo-like objects being thrown into the sea one after another.

In just two seconds, a fire net composed of missiles and torpedoes rushed towards the manta ray!
Facing the increasingly approaching firepower network, Wei Jiang's eyes were determined!
He has confidence in the extremely high-strength alloy of the manta ray's shell!

With the sea water blocking it, the Manta Ray's hull would definitely be able to withstand the shock wave attack as long as it was not hit head-on by a torpedo or missile.

With dozens of lives on his shoulders, Wei Jiang's inner violent factor is fully activated at this moment!
How about torpedoes? How about missiles?

Even if the manta ray's shell is damaged, Wei Jiang still has a last resort!
"Fuck! Who's afraid of who?"

With his mind made up, Wei Jiang adjusted the manta ray's posture, aimed at a gap in the torpedo fire net and rushed through.

30 meters, 13 meters, 8 meters, 5 meters.
The distance was rapidly shortened, and Wei Jiang could even see the bubbles stirred up at the tail of the torpedo.

Under Wei Jiang's control, the black manta ray was like an experienced swordsman. Facing the fire network, the manta ray vibrated its wings and rotated to insert into the gaps between the torpedo group.

Watching the torpedo body passing by the manta ray on the screen, Wei Jiang's muscles tensed and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.

No room for error!
"Whoo~"

The front view on the screen was clear, and Wei Jiang knew clearly that the manta ray had successfully passed through the fire network.

Nice

A huge force came from behind, and the manta ray was rushed forward by the shock wave. Wei Jiang, who was in the driving seat, also felt the manta ray shaking constantly.

There was no time to confirm whether the Manta Ray boat was damaged. Wei Jiang quickly said:

"Panel, repair!"

His eyes were fixed on the stern of the giant flat-top ship that was getting closer and closer on the screen. In his peripheral vision, Wei Jiang noticed a flash of blue light, which then disappeared after a moment.

30 meters!
Only 30 meters away from hitting the stern of the flat-top giant ship!
A muffled sound came into the cockpit from outside, and Cliff watched the signals of more than a dozen anti-submarine torpedoes and anti-submarine missiles disappear from the display.

Did the attack work? He didn't know now.

The dull roar of the explosion and the resulting sea water vibration rendered all sonar detection equipment ineffective.

While waiting for the detection equipment to resume working for more than a minute, Cliff just hoped that the little mouse would be killed in the explosion!

"Did it hit?"

"With such an intense attack, whatever it was should have been torn to pieces."

"Do not worry."

There was chatter behind him, and the generals and soldiers were discussing in low voices.

Faced with such a tough opponent, everyone hopes that the opponent will be eliminated as soon as possible.

The fleet lost two submarines and all underwater escort forces!
If they cannot destroy the enemy this time, the entire fleet will be toyed with by the enemy using its underwater advantage!
The waiting process is always difficult, and time passes by every second.

In order to ease his inner tension, Cliff reached out to pick up the pager on the command desk to contact the surrounding frigates.

Just as his finger was about to touch the pager, Cliff dodged and lunged forward, lying on the command desk.

He was not the only one who fell on the command desk. Many people in the command room fell forward to the ground.

"Ah! Damn it!"

"What is the helmsman doing?!"

"My wrist, ah~"

Cliff stood up with his arms on the command desk, his eyes wide open as he looked towards the left side of the command room.

The helmsman of the giant ship held the rudder tightly, looking innocent in the face of Cliff's angry gaze.

"General, I didn't move the rudder, the ship suddenly slowed down!"

As he spoke, the helmsman pointed to the dashboard in front of him and said:
"You see, the ship's speed is decreasing rapidly and is now less than 4 knots."

After hearing the helmsman's explanation, Cliff pushed aside the others in front of him and walked quickly to the helmsman.

It was basically the same as the helmsman's description, except that the speed was lower than 4 knots, 2 knots. 1 knot.
"Damn it! Can anyone tell me why this is happening?"

"What are you still standing here for? Send someone to investigate!"

Cliff slapped his hand on the console next to him.

Seeing Cliff getting angry, several people ignored their injuries from the collision and ran to contact the energy and power maintenance department.

Turning around, he discovered that the ship's speed had dropped to zero, and Cliff's expression became terrifyingly gloomy.

Just as he was about to say something else, a soldier loudly reported:
"Sonar detection system is back in action."

The sonar detection signal reappeared in front of everyone, and a familiar green small box appeared on the port side of the giant ship. It was the submarine, and it was not destroyed!

There was silence, and everyone was at a loss as to how to evaluate the scene before them.

That damn submarine actually safely passed through the torpedo fire blockade!

"Fire team, keep attacking."

After a series of setbacks, Cliff now only wants to destroy the opponent's submarine. He doesn't want to see that damn sonar signal even for one more second!
Nothing could soothe his temper and anger at this moment better than destroying his opponent.

"Report! General, 2 reactors are working normally and 4 turbines are running stably."

"Just. Just"

Seeing the man hesitant and trembling, Cliff roared:

"Soldier! Tell me! What is the reason that prevents my ship from sailing normally?"

"Louder! Speak!"

Perhaps frightened by Cliff's lion-like momentum, the soldier tried his best to control his body and stand upright, but his expression and voice remained the same as before, with a trembling tone.

"General, the power maintenance department has deduced that the ship's propeller.. shaft."

"The propeller shaft is broken. It's broken."
