The reason was that a violent explosion occurred when the "ray" was hoisted onto the ship!
Ordinarily, the torpedo has been disassembled in the water.
The reason why I spent a full hour fussing with it was because I was worried about the anti-tamper device.
Most of these sensitive things will have this kind of anti-tamper device.
Therefore, the Blue Army's technicians were very careful and used all means. They first detected the signal wave, and then adopted signal shielding methods to avoid remote control devices.
After fussing for a long time, I found that there was no such anti-tamper device, just a control link and a few data lines connecting the torpedo and the "ray".
It is speculated that the "Stray" discovered the target, and then the internal system made a simple determination, and then launched a torpedo attack.
Everyone's hearts dropped to the ground.
Technicians initially determined that this was a quasi-intelligent unmanned underwater vehicle.
It moves autonomously. It does not require remote control or input of commands after being placed in the water. It only needs to swim within a certain range of sea areas, automatically find enemies and launch attacks.
With their judgment in mind, the technicians quickly dismantled the torpedo in the sea. Then they wanted to drag the fish to the rubber boat, but the "ray" was too big, so they tied it with a rope and dragged it back.
Drag it to the side of the destroyer ship and use the ship's crane to lift the fish up.
The whole process is no different from fishermen using a fishing boat to catch a big shark.
However, when the hoisted "ray" was placed on the deck and the technicians were about to organize a disassembly team to dismantle the thing into pieces for study, an accident happened.
The "Stray" exploded without any warning.
The most terrible thing is that when the damn "ray" exploded on the deck, the small torpedo loaded with CL-20 explosives was also lying nearby waiting for study.
A team of naval technicians transferred from various ships went to heaven in an instant, including the search and rescue team leader who fantasized about going back to receive the Silver Star Medal. He immediately went to see God.
The huge explosion directly penetrated the rear deck of the Burke IA destroyer, and then triggered a secondary explosion in the hangar next to it.
Because there is a Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter with two MK-46 torpedoes in the hangar...
The chain explosion directly turned half of the destroyer into a fireball. Of course, since the torpedo did not hit the ship in the sea and did not cause a large amount of water leakage, damage control could still be carried out.
It's just that this destroyer has been scrapped. It's God's blessing that it can keep silent and return smoothly for repairs. It can't be said to be fighting with the team.
After the commander of the combined fleet heard the news, he was so angry that he cursed again, scolding all the eighteen generations of ancestors on the red side.
For a moment, this guy was in a trance, feeling that the curse about the Blue Army versus the Red Army had come true again.
The content of that curse is actually very simple - for so many years, whenever the blue side encountered the red side on the battlefield, there was no victory in any battle.
There is no one!
No matter how scolded, things still have to be done.
As the commander-in-chief of the fleet, he had to order to continue sending out small boats to find new "rays".
Now all the mysteries seem to have been solved.
The monsters lurking in the water are these "rays", and you know that they were thrown here by the red party without asking.
However, the blue team did not fully understand the specific technical indicators.
They don't know what rules the attack patterns of these "rays" follow, what the triggering mechanism is, whether they are controlled remotely, or whether they are completely autonomous in seeking enemies.
Everything must be dismantled and analyzed after catching a new "ray", and finally it can be discovered.
But he discovered something terrible.
That is, the red team may have thought of this situation a long time ago, and the "Stray" is obviously equipped with a self-destruct system.
But when it was caught in the sea before, the "ray" did not explode. Why did it suddenly explode after getting on the deck?
Then why didn't the "ray" attack when the search team's rubber boat approached? But once the destroyer approached, it would be attacked?
What is the technical path here?
Yes, we still need to study it.
However, now is not a good time for research. Huang Fang has been captured by the Red Fang, and the bases in the Liuqiu area have long been in danger.
When will the search team catch a "ray" in the vast sea, unload the torpedo according to the previous procedures, and carefully study the tricks of the self-destruct device?
By then, the battle will probably be over.
Unfortunately, there is no way out.
Now that the three strike groups are afraid to move forward, change the route? Maybe, but maybe not.
The blue side is aware of the red side's consistent behavior. With the red side's industrial capabilities, they will either not take action or make a big deal.
No one knows where there are "rays" and where there are no "rays" in the thousands of kilometers of sea from north to south. You can't use destroyers to test them one by one.
A Burke-class destroyer, even an old model, costs 2 billion U.S. dollars. This kind of "ray" can be wholesaled for more than 100 to 200,000 U.S. dollars at most.
How to do it?
As a result, the three blue aircraft carrier strike groups were forced to stop near the No. 2 island chain by a group of "rays", and they did not dare to move forward.
On the green side, the red side is as strong as a broken bamboo.
The blue side is unable to intervene, and the yellow side is already half disabled. Unless they risk their own lives and mobilize all the troops stationed in the north to join the war in the south, they can only watch the green side surrender completely.
In fact, it's not like Huang Fang has never thought of doing this.
However, I gave up after some deductions.
Because they found that mobilizing their troops to go south without the support of the blue side would not change the situation in any way, and they could only give the red side their lives in vain.
As a result, Huang Fang completely acted like a turtle.
Now not only did they not help Lu Fang, they were also unable to help Liu Fang find direction.
While the blue side was still solving the mystery of the "Stray" technology, within the blue side's Joint Staff Headquarters, Di Longgang, Wen Zhaohui and others at the highest command level received the message sent back from the front——
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Report! The red landing force completed the landing on Okinori Island!"
Wen Zhaohui's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand.
His eyes fell on the electronic map.
Rush the bird.
The location of this place is extremely important.
Liuqiu has five island groups, large and small. Among them, Otonori is located in the middle and is the largest island group. Its strategic position is extremely important.
Taking down Okiniao means cutting off the entire flow. Not only can it control the channel into the West Pacific and completely crush the No. 1 island chain, but it can also be used as a springboard to directly attack the mainland at the southern end of Huang Fang's control area.
Because of this, the blue side has a total of 41 military facilities on Chongniao. There are three large military bases in Nabo, Putian and Putian, accounting for about 20% of the total area and stationed including sea, land, air and navy.
There are four major arms including the Marine Corps, with more than 20,000 soldiers. It is a rare base with a complete range of arms among the blue overseas bases. The total number accounts for two-thirds of the troops stationed in the yellow side!
Unfortunately, the anti-aircraft firepower, radar facilities, airports, etc. there have all been blown into ruins. The air power at the southern end of the Yellow side has been completely lost and it is impossible to survive. The air superiority has been completely controlled by the Red side.
For the Blue Army on Okiniao, they will soon face a large-scale amphibious landing and land operations by the Red Army.
But what the red side is least afraid of is land warfare.
Therefore, the consequences can be imagined.
"It seems that the Chongniao direction can't hold on anymore." Long Gang said: "The three aircraft carrier strike groups can't get through for the time being. I think it's time to take a trick."
Wen Zhaohui looked at the map in a daze for a moment, and nodded vigorously: "Well, when the time comes, we will work with Huang Fang. They can help. I believe that as long as our attack works, White Fang will definitely not be able to help but want to
Let’s get a piece of the pie in the end. When White gets involved, we can instigate Black to do the same in the south.”
