Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

When the submarine was shaking, Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi were a little unsteady on their feet, but the other people in the cabin were as firm as if their feet had taken root and there was no shaking at all.

After the nuclear submarine was launched, the captain asked his superiors for instructions and then started the nuclear submarine. Now the electricity generated by the nuclear reactor has been cut off, and the power source of the nuclear submarine has become nuclear batteries.

Although the operating steps are the same, the startup time is much faster than before, which makes the captain very curious. After all the machines of the nuclear submarine are operating normally, Mr. Wang and Li Tianyi began to collect data.

The people in the cockpit looked at the two busy people. Although they didn't understand what they were doing, they didn't disturb them. About half an hour later, Mr. Wang signaled to the captain that he could start the nuclear submarine.

So the nuclear submarine slowly left the port. According to the test procedures, the nuclear submarine must first travel on the water surface at an increasingly faster speed, so that the power consumption can be counted. After traveling a certain distance, the nuclear submarine dives, and as the depth increases, the power consumption will also increase.

In this way, we can roughly calculate how many nautical miles we can travel with one refueling of nuclear fuel if it is fully burned.

Whether there is a huge gap between the calculated distance and the actual distance, these are the data that Li Tianyi needs to collect.

Sailing on the sea was no big deal, just like riding on a large ship, extremely stable, but when a nuclear submarine went down to the bottom of the sea, it really opened Li Tianyi's eyes.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had descended to such a deep seabed. Schools of fish swam by, and from time to time a big fish would appear.

When the nuclear submarine sails to the open sea, the sea water here is even deeper and the seabed is pitch black. Only the lights on the nuclear submarine can illuminate the nearby areas.

If someone with claustrophobia comes here, he will probably faint on the spot. It is terribly quiet here, and the only sound in the ears is the sound of the nuclear submarine engine. Li Tianyi occasionally looks out of the window and sees all kinds of strange and bizarre fish swimming in the sea, which cannot be seen on land.

Of course, he did not forget his main job. Mr. Wang worked with him to collect various data while also enjoying the scenery on the seabed.

When the mood strikes, Li Tianyu will chat with the captain. Li Tianyi is particularly curious about whether people like them who stay in the deep sea for a long time have seen any magical things or mythical species.

The captain's face changed and he did not directly answer Li Tianyi's question. He only emphasized that he was an atheist and that all phenomena had scientific basis.

Seeing this, Li Tianyi understood what he meant, that is, they had encountered things that could not be explained by science, but this might be a state secret, and the captain was not in a position to disclose it. However, since he had asked, he could not not answer, so he found such an excuse to answer Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi also understood the situation, so he changed the subject and talked about other things.

The nuclear submarine sailed in the deep sea for a day and a night. The surrounding sea water became even deeper, and large marine animals often appeared in the sight of Li Tianyi and his team.

Li Tianyi asked the captain that their current location was probably on the west side of the Pacific Ocean, close to the center. If they went further, they would reach the islands of Country M, so the captain suggested returning.

Li Tianyi checked the power of the nuclear battery. At this time, less than one-tenth of the power had been consumed, but it was enough for this point. So after saying something to Mr. Wang, the nuclear submarine went back.

After being away from the surveillance range of Country M, the nuclear submarine surfaced, and Li Tianyi also experienced the scenery of the deep sea for the first time.

The sea water here is inky black, with surging waves. There is endless sea water all around, with no trace of land.

After staying on the water for a while, the nuclear submarine returned to the deep sea. The journey back was very smooth. When the nuclear submarine was close to the coast, it contacted its superiors, who asked it to enter the port. The captain obeyed the order and headed directly to the port.

Li Tianyi and his team were doing well, but the M country was in an uproar. When the nuclear submarine surfaced, the radar of the M country's aircraft carrier detected the trace of the nuclear submarine. The M country immediately began to investigate and discovered that it was an unidentified ship. However, this was the deep sea and ordinary ships could not reach here.

By the time Country M responded and planned to send a fleet to check, the little red dot on the radar had disappeared.

This immediately allowed Country M to rule out the previous speculation. The ability for it to appear and disappear so quickly must be a nuclear submarine. But which country's nuclear submarine could sail into the ocean?

Even their country M's nuclear submarines cannot reach the depths of the ocean if they do not have aircraft carriers to refuel them at any time.

This discovery made Country M nervous. Could it be that their old enemy had invented some new weapon?

So Country M started various investigations, and the world situation began to surge again.

Xinhua Country doesn't care how the world changes. Anyway, this test was very successful. Li Tianyi counted the power of the nuclear battery before getting off the nuclear submarine. It only used two-tenths of the power for a round trip. Although it was different from the estimated power, it was normal. After all, various emergencies may occur at any time during the voyage, and the power consumed also needs to be counted.

After getting off the nuclear submarine, the warm sunlight shining on his body made Li Tianyu feel happy. He had this feeling after staying on the nuclear submarine for four or five days. So how would those soldiers who stay in nuclear submarines all year round feel?

Back on land, Li Tianyi and Mr. Wang returned to the office and worked together to complete the nuclear battery test report.

After three days of hard work, a detailed, data-complete report was produced. After Li Tianyi and Mr. Wang signed their names, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the report is out, Li Tianyi is about to lead the team back to Sijiu City. I believe the elders are definitely waiting for Li Tianyi and his team's report.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Wang, Li Tianyi went to visit the military district commander again to thank him for his help during this period.

They returned to Sijiu City by train again this time. Major Zhang brought a team of soldiers to protect them. This time they took a soft sleeper car. On the way back, everyone was no longer as serious as they were when they went there. They had successfully completed the mission this time and were in a very happy mood. The sound of jokes could be heard one after another in the car.

Nearly six days passed quickly, and when the train entered Sijiu City, it was already 6 a.m. After getting off the train, Li Tianyi and his colleagues did not go home first. Li Tianyi gathered the 2 people for a short meeting, asked them to go home and rest, and gave them a day off, waiting to go back to work tomorrow.
