Chapter Eight Hundred and Ninety Nine, Shen

But just because of the delay of more than 20 minutes before, the number of shrimps covered on the bottom of the destroyer has exceeded one million!

It can be said that if those frogmen got closer and opened the shrimp layer, they would be able to see that the bottom of the boat was riddled with holes, and even some of the deepest holes had penetrated two-thirds of the bottom of the boat!

The destroyer started to speed up, and when it reached the highest speed, the group of white mist shrimps that were chasing closely had to stop and return, catching all the fish and even all kinds of marine life encountered along the way.

For this, Wei Xiaobei could only express regret.

If it is an adult white mist shrimp, the white mist liquid sprayed out by hundreds of thousands may be able to corrode the bottom of the ship. These small shrimps have just been born, and at the same time they are small in size, the white mist liquid that can be sprayed is naturally less.

However, at this time, the shrimp attached to the bottom of the boat is enough to penetrate the rest.

After sailing for half an hour, the chief engineer who was inspecting the engine room suddenly heard a small sound.

For an experienced chief engineer, the engine room is hot and humid. loud noise. But this is the most important part of the entire battleship, any negligence may lead to serious consequences.

The chief engineer, who hastily called several soldiers to investigate with him, finally found the source of the sound after a few minutes.

It was the corner of the engine room, and a slender column of water rushed up. Make a hissing sound.

Although it was the first time he encountered such a situation as the chief engineer, he also knew what was going on. This is the bottom of the boat leaking!

Well, in the opinion of the chief engineer, how could such a thing happen to a battleship that has just been launched for less than five years. You know, the Alexander destroyer undergoes a small inspection every year. Not to mention water leakage at the bottom of the boat, even the paint on the bottom of the boat rarely falls off.

Could it be that the water pipe burst and caused the water leak?

The chief engineer imagined things going in a good direction, but soon. Another jet of water rose from the floor.

Seeing this scene, the chief engineer no longer had any illusions. And the soldiers who followed him were also pale, they were not fools, they don't know what happened when they saw this situation?

soon. The danger discovered by the chief engineer was passed on to the captain.

"Those damned arms dealers!"

The captain's first reaction was that the arms dealer who built the destroyer cut corners.

Then, of course, he took aim at the Admiralty.

It's very simple, if the arms dealer's cutting corners can pass, then there must be people from the Navy Department involved.

But in the end, the captain had to admit another problem. It would be a bit too weird to say that no such problems were found in the small inspections over the years.

Could it be that those little shrimps were made out of it?

The captain quickly associated the matter with those white mist shrimps. Of course, the captain also knew that this kind of conjecture seemed absurd.

These are not those small wooden boats, but steel monsters with a body length of more than 150 meters! The thickness of the steel plate at the bottom of the ship is at least five hundred millimeters!

To be honest, even if a blue whale crashes into the destroyer, it may not be able to cause much damage to the destroyer!

You know, the strength standard of destroyer hull steel is very high!

If it is the side of the hull, there are also designs such as armor steel against 350mm torpedoes!

Of course, although the bottom of the ship is not protected by armored steel, it is also the thickest part of the entire ship.

In short, it is impossible for any marine life to cause damage to the hull, and the captain can guarantee this with his own life.

Well, anyway, now something has come up and needs to be sorted out!

"Close all airtight doors! Start the water pump! Abandon No. 1 engine room, and evacuate the personnel!  …"

Commands came out from the captain's mouth one after another, and soon, one after another airtight doors began to close. The chief engineer led people to check the No. 1 engine room, and then closed the engine to evacuate.

With the shutdown of the No. 1 engine, the output power of the destroyer was cut in half in an instant, and the speed also slowed down accordingly.

The captain is not worried about the sinking of the destroyer. Unlike the wooden ships of the age of great voyages, modern warships are all designed with airtight compartments. Even if the bottom of the ship is broken, if the airtight doors along the way are closed, the seawater can only invade the corresponding cabins, which is impossible. Sinking the entire battleship is at best a slowdown.

As long as the keel of these sea giants is not broken or penetrated by torpedoes, they will generally not sink too easily.

"Go to Port Lewis."

The captain looked at the chart and locked on the destination. This is really a bad start.

Of course, the officers and soldiers on the entire battleship basically knew about such a big incident, except for the strong men who had robbed the fitness room with the soldiers before, still sleeping soundly in the cabins assigned to them.

Well, based on the soldiers' dislike towards them and the officers' reluctance to show their family ugliness, it is naturally impossible for these guys to know these things.

The destroyer began to turn, and headed towards Port Lewis, which was the closest to it, which was more than two hundred nautical miles away.

Wei Xiaobei had already boarded the destroyer at this time, and hid on the top of the bridge. Speaking of which, this position has a wide view and is hidden, so it is a suitable place to hide.

The speed of the destroyer was getting slower and slower. When a similar problem occurred in the No. 2 engine room, the captain felt his scalp tingling.

A destroyer does not have four engines as power like an aircraft carrier, but only two engines. If the second engine room is also abandoned, it means that the destroyer will completely lose power. Become a steel coffin floating on the sea.

Good thing it's not wartime. if not.......

"Send a report to the Admiralty. The bottom of our ship is broken, and water has entered the No. 1 and No. 2 engine rooms, and the power has been completely lost. Request support!"

It was the first time for the captain to dictate such a telegram, and he had mixed feelings for a while.

But soon. New bad news came, the airtight doors of the No. 1 and No. 2 engine rooms were flooded.

The captain felt that something was wrong with this matter, and there seemed to be a shadow hanging over the head of the destroyer Alexander.

after. One problem after another arises, anyway. It won't be long before one of the airtight doors fails, at this rate. It won't be long before the destroyer Alexander will sink. At the same time, the keel will break due to the extrusion of sea water, and even the hull will rupture, sending the entire ship's people into the sea water!

And it's still late at night!

"Notify to evacuate..."

The captain felt speechless. I'm afraid that tomorrow my name will be on the headlines of the major media.

The captain of the first warship sunk in peacetime in the Kingdom of Sam for thirty years.

Falk! What exactly is going on! !

No one answered the captain's swearing.

As the evacuation order was issued, the tweeter began to repeat the evacuation order over and over again.

Immediately, the entire battleship became noisy. Although they had prepared a little before, it was the first time they had encountered such a thing as evacuating the battleship, so it was normal to be a little flustered.

Fortunately, they are soldiers, even if they are a little flustered, they will not be in a hurry like ordinary people, scrambling for the chance to survive.

Well, one thing that needs to be explained is that the current battleships are not like the previous battleships.

There are many folding self-inflating lifeboats alone, enough to meet the needs of the personnel on the entire destroyer.

In other words, you only need to leave the battleship and open the foldable automatic inflatable lifeboat, then you are basically safe and can wait for rescue safely.

Soon, packages were thrown into the sea one by one. The soldiers who jumped off the battleship grabbed the packages in their hands and pulled the rope hard. With the hissing sound of inflation, a lifeboat gradually took shape. Need to climb up, that's it.

Of course, Wei Xiaobei didn't have the idea of ​​killing all these soldiers.

In that case, although it is very cool, it does not fit Wei Xiaobei's next plan.

He needs to divert Sam's attention to the wreck instead of letting Sam invent a murderer.

Of course, Wei Xiaobei had already helped Sam to choose the role of the murderer, and that was White Mist Shrimp.

These terrifying sea creatures will firmly attract Sam's attention for a period of time, instead of focusing on Weijia Island.

The destroyer Alexander sank, but the waves still pushed the lifeboats slowly toward the distant coast.

But Wei Xiaobei, who sneaked into the sunken ship without incident, discovered some good things.

"******!******! Those damn cowards! They left us behind!"

"Rum, stop complaining! Shet, you look for the depth gauge and see where we are."

 …

A series of cursing and even complaints and conversations reached Wei Xiaobei's ears.

If the destroyer was on the sea, it would be difficult for Wei Xiaobei to hear it.

But now the seabed is more than 200 meters deep, and the sea water makes the transmission of sound easier.

This is?

Wei Xiaobei sensed it immediately.

Soon, a group of guys trapped in the cabin by seawater emerged in Wei Xiaobei's perception.

With some aura of the gray world, it is a gray world experiencer!

Wei Xiaobei's eyes became a little brighter.

Undoubtedly, the gray world practitioners found on this destroyer probably have a considerable relationship with the country of Sam.

Wei Xiaobei had never entered the gray world of Sam's country, so he was a little curious about it.

Wei Xiaobei thought for a while, then walked towards the direction of the sound along the channel submerged in sea water.

The destroyer sank to the bottom of the sea. Although the keel was broken, the overall structure was still good, but some parts were twisted, but this did not affect Wei Xiaobei's relaxed and happy exploration here.

For the survivors on the destroyer, this journey was a complete nightmare.

Originally, I thought it would be easy to complete the task, and then return to China to enjoy a wonderful life, but who would have thought that the destroyer sank inexplicably just as I set off and my group was still asleep! (To be continued.) Enable new URL
