The waves that were nearly three meters high, and the dark clouds as thick as cotton overhead, made the captain of the Dreadnought battleship Captain Kanamori inexplicably worried.
His battleship can be said to be the largest fortress on the sea by mankind so far. Its 10 305mm-caliber cannons can compete with any enemy. If it were not for the fact that the puppet empire could not be reached directly by sea, he even felt that with these battleships, Eiland Hill would be defeated.
They are all guaranteed to win.
It is a pity that the navy has never had the opportunity to expand its military, and can only exist as a foil. It was not until recently that the sea fleet of Eiland Hill really encountered challenges.
"Wow!" The huge waves directly hit the bow of the battleship, stirring up countless broken waves. The entire battleship rose and fell with the waves. Standing on the Cambridge, Captain Kanamori looked at the waves that broke off from time to time.
Lightning in the distance.
"Visibility is decreasing! Captain!" a lookout sergeant reminded Jinson loudly: "The place where we are is already very dangerous!"
"The destroyer Bameson requested to retreat. Their tonnage is too small and the waves are very serious!" A liaison officer walked behind Captain Kanamori and reported loudly.
This fleet consists of 4 destroyers, 4 cruisers, and a dreadnought. The scale can be said to be very large.
However, in the storm in front of us, this fleet seemed so small. There was no rain in the sky. It can be said that the storm in front of us had an evil atmosphere from the inside out, which made people feel very uneasy.
"Let all destroyers retreat 30 kilometers! Set up a second cordon outside the storm! Keep the communication channel open! If you encounter interference, report it immediately!" Jin Sen frowned slightly and ordered his men.
"The image transmission is still normal, mainly because the waves are too big! There are also some changes in the nearby seawater, and the color is obviously darker than the seawater in other sea areas." A technician said with a worried look.
"In a sense, with so many abnormal signs in this sea area, it is indeed certain that some kind of change is going to happen here." Another technician looked at the instrument in front of him and shook his head gloomily.
He brought instruments to monitor vibrations, but found that on the sea, due to the height of the waves, it was impossible to monitor the vibrations normally. The battleship he was on was vibrating all the time, and the vibrations were very severe.
The three cruisers adjusted their positions and distanced themselves from each other. Under such weather conditions, they could not guarantee that their course would be under control. Therefore, keeping distance was undoubtedly the best way to ensure safety.
On the sea, the waves seemed to be bigger than before. The huge waves hit the tall and strong side of the Dreadnought Battleship, making a loud snapping sound.
Inside the battleship, the sailors nervously listened to the squeaking sound of the twisted metal of the battleship's hull, and continued their work uneasily.
Some people were filling coal into the boiler, and some soldiers were resting in the swaying cabin. Their hammocks were swaying in the waves, accompanied by flickering electric lights and turbid air.
"The cruiser Barbarian sent a message with lights. There are some problems with their power system. They can only maintain the current speed. It will take an hour to repair." In the nervous bridge, another officer sent a message.
Not very good news.
Naval warships are precision machinery, and it is natural for them to malfunction. Coupled with the current sea conditions, it would be strange if there were no problems.
"It doesn't matter, we will maintain this speed!" Looking at the speedometer, Jin Sen planned to accommodate the cruiser Barbarian and keep the fleet intact.
He has already lost the outer destroyer reconnaissance field of view due to sea conditions. If another cruiser is left behind, his fleet will exist in name only.
"What kind of damn weather is this? Ah? Yesterday a cruiser's antenna was struck by lightning, and today a cruiser's boiler has a problem...what the hell." An officer looked at the foggy weather outside the window and complained in a low voice.
road.
The visibility is indeed decreasing, the light is getting darker and darker, and there is a faint layer of fog. The thunder and lightning in the distance can no longer be seen clearly, only the light through the thick fog can be seen.
"Turn on the searchlight! Start the search radar!" Jin Sen had to give the order ten minutes later. The visibility was too low, and he had to ensure the observation of the fleet. After all, the purpose of his coming here was to observe.
If he knew there were enemies nearby, his orders would be the opposite. He would turn off all the lights and prepare for battle.
But there was nothing in this sea area yesterday. The order received by Jin Sen was also to monitor this sea area, not to search and annihilate the enemy.
"Telegram to Alan Hill! Describe what we saw. Where are the photos? Have they been transmitted back?" Jin Sen just sent a telegram back an hour ago, and now he has to send another telegram.
"The transmission shows that it is successful... I don't know if there will be any problems." A technician answered while fiddling with the machine in front of him.
Since satellites can transmit pictures, it is not difficult for battleships to transmit pictures back. Anyway, with long-distance image transmission technology, everything is very convenient.
Time passed by, and half an hour later, Jin Sen looked at the waves breaking at the bow of the ship, and asked the adjutant beside him: "How long has it been since we received a contact telegram from Eiland Hill?"
"I haven't received a telegram for about 40 minutes! The radio contact has been seriously interfered with, and the radio contact between the destroyers outside and us is also intermittent." The adjutant replied worriedly.
"Have the Barbarian turn around and return immediately! Transmit the image back to Eiland Hill at the edge of the storm! I think our image transmission, as well as the telegram, have been interfered with!" Captain Kanamori frowned and ordered.
Now he feels that his fleet has lost contact with the outside world, so he must immediately change his tactical arrangements.
"Let the fleet turn! The position we are in now is a bit too weird! There is no need to take risks! Get out of here!" He issued a series of orders, and then began to send light signals to the cruisers following him.
Jin Sen watched the warship carefully and slowly turn around in the waves, and said to the technician not far from him: "I think that in this case... the Magic Eye on the Endless Sea should be here."
"That's what we also judged. There are some strong magnetic fields here, and the weather conditions are also very bad..." The technicians were still worried about the bad weather conditions in front of them, so they replied: "Returning may be the right choice."
On a B-52 improved reconnaissance aircraft with a huge auxiliary fuel tank hoisted under the wing, the pilot looked in surprise at the cloud column formed by dark clouds that reached straight into the sky, causing the aircraft to change its flight direction.
He looked at the co-pilot next to him who was also surprised, and reported to the person on the radio: "I didn't see the fleet! The area was surrounded by a huge updraft. It was so big that it was bigger than a nuclear weapon.
The mushroom cloud formed by the explosion was ten times larger...perhaps a hundred times..."
"That's right! We can't see the core! I don't know what it looks like inside! But I can see lightning in the dark clouds, which is pretty bad..." The plane flew flexibly close to the edge of the dark clouds in the sky, and the pilot answered cautiously.
Commander's question on the radio.
"We are filming... yes, a very bad picture!" The pilot adjusted his course again, and then saw a track on the sea: "I saw a fleet! A ship... but I didn't see it.
Others!"
"Inspector No. 3 calls Monitor No. 1! Patrol No. 3 calls Monitor No. 1! If you hear me, please answer! If you hear me, please answer!" the pilot changed the communication channel and repeated into the intercom.
"I'm the destroyer Nalanbak! I can hear your call! The interference is very serious! We can't transmit the image signal to Eiland Hill! Now we are adjusting our position! Can you see the dark clouds behind us?"
"Nalanbak, we can hear your voice! We can see the dark clouds... Unless you are blind, who would not be able to see such a big target?" the pilot joked, grabbing the intercom.
…
On the outskirts of Dukou City, there was a beach covered with large pits for drying salt. A worker in the saltworks was surprised to find an uninvited guest lying on the beach. He shouted loudly, attracting everyone nearby.
They saw an ugly strange fish about one meter wide and more than ten meters long, lying lifeless on the beach. This strange fish had a ferocious face, a mouth full of fangs, and a pair of huge eyes that would not close.
It has a fierce look, its whole body is white and it emits a fishy smell.
"Isn't this a deep-sea fish?" A well-informed old fisherman looked at the strange fish in front of him and said strangely: "This is the rift fish, a legendary monster that lives in the rift of hell. As soon as it reaches the shallow sea, it
It will die, so no one can see the Riftfish alive."
Beside him, some young people had never seen such a ferocious strange fish, and they all marveled and gathered around the corpse of the strange fish with sighs. It is not easy to see such a huge fish, especially such an ugly fish.
There are many types of whales and sharks in the oceans of this world, and they are generally similar to those on the earth. However, due to technology, people are far from being able to clearly recognize the sea, so they are full of awe of the sea.
"There must be something going on... There must be something... something very bad." The old man moved his eyes away from the body of the strange fish and raised his head to look at the distant sea line.
He saw the black clouds over there, and frowned: "I have lived here for so many years, and I have never seen such a big storm..."
