Chapter 678: Outbreak

Ever since they knew that a torpedo was coming, Qingzhong Yang and the others stared nervously at the front of the bridge.

After crossing the fairing, you can see the calm sea ahead. Today is sunny and calm, which is really a good day for outings.

But definitely not suitable for being torpedoed and sunk.

Torpedoes are no better than missiles. The various powers displayed by Lanshen Technology, such as lasers and electromagnetic guns, are greatly attenuated in water and are almost ineffective against torpedoes.

Compared with missiles, torpedoes that destroy ships from the bottom are undoubtedly easier to sink ships.

However, Nan Ming didn't seem to care, and was still whispering to Zhao Gaofeng.

"Tell me, will the Hailong class launch sky-returning torpedoes? This is a black technology of neighboring countries." Nan Ming asked Zhao Gaofeng.

"Maybe?" Zhao Gaofeng's eyes lit up.

Zhao Gaofeng was regarded as a weapon expert around Nanming, and he often gave Nanming popular science about various weapons. The Huitian torpedo was told to Nanming as a joke.

But Huitian torpedo itself is not a joke, it is even a bit heavy.

In the final stage of World War II, the Japanese army, which had lost hope of winning the Pacific battlefield, wanted to recover at all costs, and they bet their hopes on this torpedo.

In that era without advanced microcomputers, torpedoes were a very unreliable weapon, so this torpedo used the most powerful guidance method-manual guidance.

Put a person into a huge 14-meter-long torpedo loaded with triple explosives, manually manipulate the torpedo to track the battleship, and manually self-destruct the torpedo if the bomb misses.

This is probably the earliest human bomb.

If other countries used this kind of torpedo, Nan Ming would probably give it an adjective: tragic.

But Japan used this kind of torpedo, but Nan Ming gave an adjective, crazy!

"Hey, hey, be serious!" Hearing the two people behind muttering, Shi Buqing was upset, this is a battle, so why so much talk!

"What's serious?" Nan Ming spread his hands, it was just a torpedo.

Qingzhong Yang and the others heard the sonar operator of the Silence reporting the number: "5 nautical miles away...3 nautical miles away...1 nautical mile away...3 nautical miles away...5 nautical miles away..."

The sonar operator's voice faded away.

Wait, isn't it?

Why is the number getting bigger and bigger?

Qingzhong Yang stood up and asked Shi Buqing, "Where's the torpedo?"

As soon as Shi Buqing straightened his body, he was about to answer loudly. Nan Ming waved his hand and pointed behind him: "It's in the back."

What about the back?

Then Qingzhong Yang heard continuous explosions.

Isn't it behind? Almost a nautical mile away.

"Report to the chief, the torpedo has been left behind by us!" Shi Buqing reported in hindsight.

The harpoon missile with a top speed of Mach 0.8 can catch up to the Silence and pose a threat to the Silence.

However, the Type 89 torpedo with a speed of 45 knots and a top speed of only 70 knots is too difficult to cause harm to the Silence.

Before contact, the terrifying water pressure brought by the Silence was like separating the bead curtain, separating the eight torpedoes, allowing these little ones to automatically and spontaneously get out of the way in the water. When the torpedo detects that it is close to the target, When it was about to detonate, it had already been thrown away by the Silence.

The two sides are driving in opposite directions, 190 knots plus 45 knots, the relative speed of 235 knots is 435 kilometers per hour, 120 meters per second... This is a number that elementary school students can calculate.

And the length of the Silence is only over one hundred and forty meters.

Miss one second, and the Silence is missed forever.

Not to mention this kind of ordinary torpedo, even if there is a Huitian torpedo, it will not be able to catch up with the Silence.

At that moment, Shi Buqing suddenly felt a little sad.

As the man who is about to become the captain of the ferrofluid propulsion submarine in the experiment, he still has a lot of affection for torpedoes, because the value of submarines is to threaten the opponent's aircraft carrier, and torpedoes are very important combat weapons for submarines.

But now, in front of this new type of super-speed warship, ordinary torpedoes have obviously lost their meaning of existence, and their effect is worse than that of sea mines.

Qingzhong Yang also frowned thoughtfully.

If the ferrofluid-propelled submarine is really in service, the shipboard weapons must be carefully considered. After all, the speed of the shipboard weapons is slower than the submarine itself. possible things.

To solve this problem, it seems that the only way is to develop a new type of torpedo.

Supercavitating torpedoes?

There seems to be relevant research in China, so go back and find out more.

Qingzhong Yang secretly made up his mind, this time the battle on the Silence really gave him a great impact and a great inspiration.

If it is an ordinary fleet, it may not be so simple when facing the Hailong class.

As the saying goes, one move is popular all over the world, and the speed of the Silence is too dominant. This terrifying speed can almost leave all the attack methods in the sea behind.

After dropping these torpedoes, the Silence was only less than two nautical miles away from the Sea Dragon-class body. For the Silence, this was an instant distance.

This time, Shi Buqing really cheered up and didn't dare to be careless at all.

A fully loaded Sea Dragon is not just five harpoons and eight torpedoes. The next battle is the real critical moment.

The Hailong class is hidden at least 100 meters underwater. It seems that there is no way for the Silence to hurt it for the time being. Even if it can be hurt, now in the Hailong class, both Shi Buqing and Qingzhong Yang are very concerned about it. People cannot easily carry out devastating blows.

As for the propeller tubes, they are rather trivial.

"Warn it!" Shi Buqing said, the sonar operator skillfully adjusted the sonar power of the Silence to the lowest level, and then sent out an active sonar.

"Boom!" The sonar was like a fist, hitting the shell of the Sea Dragon heavily. This was the mutual warning in the naval battle, which meant that the Silence had locked on the Sea Dragon and was ready to attack at any time.

If you don't want to be injured or have conflicts, the wise choice is to float to the surface. If you don't heed the warning, I'm afraid the next blow will be like a storm.

In fact, there is no need to explain, the Silence is almost as if it is about to separate the sea water, the momentum of the arrival is too terrifying, the other party's sonar has already detected the message of the Silence.

But what greeted the Silence were missiles and torpedoes flying again.

The missiles and torpedoes that poured out surrounded it up, down, left, and right, completely covering the Silence.

This behavior of Hailong can already be said to be insane. This kind of intensive attack, even against an aircraft carrier formation, can make it nervous for a while.

In fact, even an aircraft carrier formation would kneel in the face of such a dense attack at such a short distance!

The most tense fighting state has arrived in an instant.

"Everyone, listen to my command!" Shi Buqing felt a deep tremor coming from the depths of his bones.

Finally, a little excitement! (To be continued.)
