Chapter 693 The engine room is leaking!

From the post upload, in less than an hour, there were more than 100,000 replies, and major websites on the Internet reprinted it, which made the news hype very much. |Ding|Xiao|Shuo|Website updates the fastest

The commander of the Seventh Fleet of M Country looked at the computer in front of him, and his chest was fluctuating, wishing he could smash the computer in front of him with one punch. Then his anger disappeared, but his face became more and more serious. Now he was sure that his early warning aircraft and two F-22s were not swallowed by prehistoric monsters, nor did they run to Mars. Of course, they were not destroyed by the so-called mysterious "Queen" cargo ship. They were easily destroyed by this mysterious submarine!

The interception rate of this submarine on missiles can reach 100%, which shows that its submarine-to-air detection capability has reached a very strong point. If equipped with a strategic nuclear missile, this mysterious submarine can fully pose a fatal threat to the aircraft carrier formation combat group. Its strategic deterrence effect is no less than that of nuclear weapons.

The commander knew that this was not the time when he was angry and depressed, and he had to report the matter to Pacific Command. Whether they knew the news from the Internet or not.

The Pacific Fleet Command did know the news and reported it to the Pentagon as soon as possible. They needed the Pentagon's intelligence department to make appropriate judgments on the accuracy of the news.

The Pentagon replied quickly that the news was likely to be true, and all signs indicate that this mysterious nuclear submarine is the latest secret weapon developed by China, and ordered the Pacific Fleet to do everything possible to dig out the submarine from the Pacific Ocean!

The commander of the Pacific Fleet Command issued another order to the Seventh Fleet Command. The Commander of the Seventh Fleet didn't care about finding the "Queen" that might have entered the "Gate of Hell" sea. They focused all their search energy on the mysterious nuclear submarines.

Compared with the mysterious and submarines, the "Queen" cargo ship is simply insignificant. This time, the Seventh Fleet did not make a small fuss like searching for the "Queen", but the entire aircraft carrier fleet took action. All early warning aircraft belonging to the fleet were dispatched to conduct a 24-hour uninterrupted search in areas where the mysterious submarines could appear.

At the same time, several large military bases in the Asia-Pacific region of M have also entered a state of first-level combat readiness, fearing that they will be attacked by a sudden missile.

For a moment, the entire South Pacific was in panic and the situation suddenly became tense. However, these indirectly reduced the huge military pressure faced by the Pique Kingdom, and gave the "Queen" a chance to fish in troubled waters and escape successfully.

Zhao Changqi didn't know all this. When the entire Internet was discussing the mysterious submarine and the situation in the Pacific was tense, he was leading the entire ship to fight desperately with the boundless wind and waves.

After discovering the nuclear submarine, Zhao Changqi also keenly realized that this was their best chance to escape. The nuclear submarine would definitely attract the attention of the entire Pacific Fleet, thus allowing the "Queen" to fade out of the Pacific Fleet!

So since the end of that battle, Zhao Changqi ordered the Queen to advance to the "Gate of Hell" at full speed, and eventually they plunged into the mysterious Gate of Hell.

Zhao Changqi did not dare to go deep into the sea area, but planned to pass through the outer periphery of the mysterious area. But even so, he saw the power of this sea area!

This is where the warm currents and cold currents of the Pacific Ocean meet. Undercurrents surging, forming vortexes on the surface of the ocean. Once the ship enters these vortexes, it is difficult to struggle again and eventually it is difficult to escape the fate of burying the seabed. At the same time, due to the influence of the undercurrents of the ocean and the gravity of the sun and the moon, the weather here is also volatile. Hurricanes and heavy rains are almost commonplace. In addition, coupled with the powerful magnetic field force at the bottom of Shanghai, all this makes the sea area mysterious.

The first day after the Queen entered the "Gate of Hell", the day when the fighter formation of the Seventh Fleet first arrived over the sea area, they encountered a storm.

The raging sea breeze stirred up huge waves of more than ten meters, like white peaks hitting the Queen, and shaking the ten-ton cargo ship like a lonely boat on the river, as if it would be overturned by the waves at any time.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbling, and golden lightning was like golden dragons with teeth and claws, extending from the clouds to the ocean. Thunderbolts seemed to explode next to everyone's ears, buzzing the eardrums of the Poison Dragon Society brothers!

At this moment, the Poison Dragon Society brothers finally realized the terrible power of nature!

Since approaching this mysterious sea area, the magnetic sutra on the freighter has completely failed. The "Queen" is an automatic rudder. Generally, as long as the course is adjusted, you don't have to worry about it all the time. Just correct the course at that time.

But at this moment, Zhao Changqi directly gave up the automatic function of the rudder and personally steered it. He held the rudder tightly with both hands, stared at the boundless wind and waves in front of him, and tried to move the bow to the direction of the turret. Under such huge wind and waves, if the hull encounters waves on the side, I am afraid that a wave will knock over the "Queen" and completely sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

After the magnetic sutra failed, he could only rely on the electric sutra to indicate the navigation direction, but Zhao Changqiu didn't even glance at the electric sutra. At this time, he no longer cared about sailing in the established direction, but he just kept correcting the direction of the bow so that the bow always faced the direction of the waves. As for where the ship was about to run, Zhao Changqiu could no longer care about it.

But Zhao Changqi believes that he will definitely lead everyone out of this sea area!

At the last moment of the previous battle, Zhao Changqi affected everyone's emotions due to a temporary negative impact, and almost wiped out everyone under the missiles of enemy planes. This time, Zhao Changqi must not make such a mistake again.

Therefore, although the "Queen" at this moment was in turmoil, Zhao Changqi's expression and movements were extremely steady, and there was no panic.

Zhao Changqiu's calmness affected everyone's emotions. Everyone guarded their own positions and worked together to fight against the harsh natural environment.

Just when Zhao Changqi was steering wholeheartedly, the internal phone on the integrated control console suddenly rang out loud.

The first mate who had been standing next to Zhao Changqi grabbed the phone and asked, "Hey? Hey? What happened? What? Water was in the engine compartment?!**!"

The first mate is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He retired from the navy and has more than 20 years of navigation experience. He usually acts calmly and capable, but after hearing that the engine room was in the water, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

The first mate didn't have time to talk, so he immediately put down the phone and said to Zhao Changgui: "Captain, it's not good! A crack was found in the engine compartment, and water was infiltrated!"

After hearing the news, Zhao Changqi's heart suddenly cramped. The engine room is one of the most important engine room on the cargo ship and the power core of the entire cargo ship. If it is flooded there, the cargo ship will lose its power and can only go with the flow. In severe cases, it will sink due to the cabin filling water.

"You come and take the helm, I'll go and see!" Zhao Changqi shouted at the first mate. The storm and thunder outside were too loud. Even if they were in the closed cockpit, they had to speak loudly to let the other party hear clearly.

The first mate quickly took the rudder from Zhao Changgui's hand and continued to adjust the direction of the bow. Zhao Changgui pushed open the door of the control room and ran out.

The driving control room was just above the living area. When Zhao Changqi passed by the living area, he called out all the people who were not on duty and asked them to go to the engine room to drain the water together.

When Zhao Changqi and his men arrived at the engine room, the water in the engine room had already accumulated more than 30 cm, and a gap more than one meter long and less than one millimeter wide appeared on the cabin wall. Although the gap was not large, under the pressure of the sea water, the sea water kept pouring into the engine room like a fountain.

The drainage system of the engine room has been working, continuously draining the water in the engine room into the Pacific Ocean and then integrating into the boundless wind and waves.

The commander of the engineer saw Zhao Changgui coming and brought several mobile drainage machines. He calmed down and shouted at him: "I want an electric welding machine!"

Zhao Changli immediately brought a multi-function welding machine and turned on the power supply. The built-in fan of the welding machine began to rotate quickly, and a buzzing sound came from.

The engineer took the initiative in person, and he no longer cared about wearing long insulated gloves, goggles and insulated shoes. He pulled the welding gun and directly put the welding rod on the crack.

The red welding flowers splashed into the white sea water and quickly went out, and bursts of white smoke came out from the sizzling sound.

Water-welding requires very high welding technology, especially when seawater pressure is high. Fortunately, when the commander of the engine used to be in the navy, he worked in technical arms and had a very high level of welding. Under his welding, the long cracks on the bulkhead were gradually shrinking.

Zhao Changqiu and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they looked at the skilled welding engineer. It seemed that the engine compartment was saved. If the cracks were allowed to crack, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As the cracks that emitted water were constantly closed by the engine room, the accumulated water in the engine room continued to decrease under the work of the drainage system. The brothers used various tools to push the accumulated water to the entrance of the pump to speed up the drainage time.

More than ten minutes later, the crack was finally repaired. The chief engineer turned off the welding machine, wiped the sweat from his face and rushed to Zhao Changgui and said, "Captain, this is not a solution. Our cargo ship can't withstand such storms at all! The bulkhead will crack sooner or later! We must leave this sea area immediately."

Zhao Changqi's brow frowned and said hurriedly: "We can no longer go back. In such a storm, the rudder and direction of the cargo range may lead to capsizing!"

The commander of the pilot was also a veteran of navigation. He knew that Zhao Changqi was telling the truth, but if this continues, what is waiting for them will be the fate of sinking!

"What should we do?" The chief engineer kept rubbing his big hands and said. Facing the situation in front of him, it was really helpless.

Zhao Changqi was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Leave the duty staff in the engine room, and the rest will follow me to the deck!"

The commander of the engineer was stunned when he heard Zhao Changgui's order and asked subconsciously: "What are you doing on the deck at this time?"
