1297 Every minute counts

"Quick, quick, faster -" Luo Qi's loud voice echoed on the radio, and soldiers in full power armor quickly gathered near the airlock.

Seeing the last soldier arriving, Luo Qi immediately shouted on the radio: "Bridge, the Marines are in position, requesting that area A9 be closed!"

"Bridge received!" Before he finished speaking, all the isolation doors near the airlock fell at the same time.

After the gate was closed, Luo Qi and the soldiers immediately heard the hissing sound of air intake. After a while, the sound disappeared completely, and the double-layer airlock that was originally closed opened silently.

Luo Qi raised his right arm above his head: "Follow me!" After that, he was the first to jump out of the airlock.

All members of the Marine Corps followed Luo Qi and floated out of the airlock one by one. After the last member passed the airlock, the door slowly closed.

The Leishan, like all human warships, is divided into two layers: an inner and an outer layer. The inner and outer layers are separated by an airlock, and both entering and exiting the inner layer must pass through the airlock.

However, the space inside the airlock is too small, and even with all the effort required to feed the baby, only three or four people can be crammed into it.

There are not many marines on the Leishan, but only three or four can move at a time. No matter what, it takes seven or eight times to get all of them into the outer layer.

At present, the military situation is raging, and the survival of the Leishan may be decided even one second in advance. In order to speed up, Ye Han personally made the decision to seal the airtight layer.

The same situation not only happened here at Luo Qi, but also happened simultaneously at the other two airlocks.

Luo Qi originally planned to lead the Marine Corps to complete the transportation task independently, but after a little thought, he realized that the Marine Corps alone would not be able to handle the task, so he gathered people as quickly as possible and organized two other teams, one for each team.

Responsible for a turret to speed up the transportation of artillery shells.

Outside the airlock is a passage that leads directly to the bow of the ship. It is more than two meters high and two meters wide, with an almost square cross-section. Two team members can block the passage tightly by standing side by side.

This passage leads all the way to the bow of the ship, and Luo Qi's target is a damaged turret above the bow, which is also the farthest one from the inner layer among the three turrets.

There were handrails on the four walls of the passage for easy passage. Luo Qi grabbed one of them and pulled his arm fiercely. He jumped forward like a fish in water: "Those behind, hurry up and follow!"

The soldiers remained silent and followed Luo Qi one after another.

The captain of the Leishan was 316 meters long, and the straight-line distance between the airlock and the target turret was only a little over a hundred meters. In just a few breaths, Luo Qi arrived at the end of the field.

The passage there suddenly became much wider, and there were two more blast-proof doors on the bulkhead, one leading directly to the turret and the other to the ammunition compartment.

Luo Qi had no intention of paying attention to the turret and directly opened the door of the ammunition compartment. When he looked in, he was immediately stunned by the scene in the ammunition compartment.

The bulkhead on the front side of the ammunition compartment was torn open at some point, a crack as wide as two people and as long as a minibus. The outer half of the crack was a bright starry sky, and the other half was a twisted turret.

The situation in the ammunition compartment was also not optimistic. The ammunition delivery equipment was severely damaged. Shells, cartridges and various debris were scattered everywhere. Luo Qi even saw a few cracked cartridges and propellant powder scattered everywhere.

.

Seeing this scene, Luo Qi almost urinated on the spot and thought to himself that it was lucky that the ammunition was loaded separately. If the ammunition had been fixedly loaded, the ammunition compartment might have been blown up long ago.

The caliber of the naval gun on the Leishan is only 120mm, so it is completely possible to use fixed-loading ammunition. The reason why the fixed-loading ammunition scheme with a higher rate of fire was abandoned is that the first reason is that the divided ammunition saves more space, and the second reason is that the divided ammunition scheme is safer.

.

The so-called subassembly plan means that the warhead, cartridge, and fuze are stored separately, and the shell is only assembled just before launch. If this situation occurs, the risk of being killed can be minimized!

The loading speed of sub-loaded ammunition is indeed not as fast as that of fixed-loading ammunition, but Leishan is equipped with the most advanced automatic loading machine, and the actual loading speed is not much slower than that of fixed-loading ammunition.

Without time to observe the situation carefully, Luo Qi calmed down and ordered with an unprecedented stern attitude: "Pay attention, be careful, follow me in now!"

Luo Qi took the lead and floated into the ammunition compartment. He grabbed a cartridge and found no problem after a brief inspection. He immediately handed it to the soldier behind him: "Quick, send it back!"

The others followed suit and immediately started collecting cannonballs.

Although everyone was extremely careful, the ammunition compartment was too messy and the time was so tight. It was inevitable to stumble during the operation. One of the soldiers even accidentally bumped into a broken cartridge. A large handful of propellant was immediately

It spilled out and almost drowned the careless warrior.

The soldier almost cried and was so frightened that he did not dare to move.

Luo Qihuo jumped up, but he immediately told himself to calm down.

At this juncture, nothing can be solved by getting angry. It is important to complete the task quickly.

So he said in as relaxed a tone as possible: "It's okay, they are all inactivated propellants. I'll say it again, please be careful!"

"Yes!" The soldiers agreed quickly, but their voices were lowered in a low voice, as if the voice was loud enough to explode a cabin full of shells.

Luo Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, pushed aside a cannonball beside him, and lightly jumped to the corner where the nuclear cannonballs were stored.

At the same time, a very similar scene was staged in another ammunition bay under the belly of the ship.

When the transport team arrived at the ammunition bay, they were surprised to find that the door was deformed and stuck there, unable to be opened no matter what.

Time was running out, but the team was blocked by the hatch. The officer leading the team immediately became anxious, took out his laser gun and prepared to attack.

Another officer, with quick hands and eyes, grabbed his wrist and asked sternly: "What do you want to do?"

"Cut it!"

"Nonsense, use laser to cut the ammunition compartment. Have you had enough of your life?"

"I……"

"Shut up, listen to me, come with a few people and do it together!"

Several soldiers gathered around them. Under the command of the officer, everyone scrambled to hold the door open. Everyone shouted slogans and worked hard together. The deformed hatch was twisted by the huge force. After a while, it collapsed.

It was torn off the bulkhead by the soldiers.

"Quick!" The officer waved his hand and led the soldiers into the ammunition bay.

The encounter of the last team was even more dangerous. There was nothing wrong with the ammunition bay itself, but the outer turret was so damaged that half of the gun barrel penetrated the bulkhead and was inserted straight into the ammunition bay, causing damage to the transport equipment in the bay.

This is nothing, the key is that at the end of the conveyor belt, there are several complete shells that have been assembled and even the fuses are installed!

More importantly, the conveyor belt has been deformed. To put it bluntly, these shells may explode at any time. Even if they are not dealt with now, they will be a hidden danger that must be dealt with as soon as possible after they are out of danger.
