Chapter 550 Thank you for the torpedo sent by the old iron

The explosion occurred in the sea thirteen nautical miles away.

The soaring water column rose without warning from below the sea surface, straight into the sky, and the top water droplets even flew hundreds of meters into the air, and then fell from the sky like a whale fountain.

At the same time, the cargo ship, which was originally sailing on the relatively stable sea in the Gulf of Mexico, broke into two pieces from one-third, like a stick of soft bread torn by the gravity of the earth. twisted into unimaginable angles.

There is almost no need to consider the issue of time for this kind of sinking, because not only did the heavily flooded cabin not have time to recover, it had already plunged into the sea at a bad angle, and there were several other explosions of different sizes, which occurred in a completely deformed ship. and the broken hull.

A series of water jets scrambled up, just like the explosions when they happened, turbulent and surging, and spread far away on the night sea.

It can be seen that the purpose of the attackers was not the cargo on the cargo ship.

Because under the rollover of the ship's hull, countless containers have responded to the call of gravity, and after spitting out limited air bubbles, they fell into the bottom of the boundless and deep sea.

The coastal shelf of the Gulf of Mexico is not very deep, and even so, the cost of salvage is definitely not worth it.

Not to mention this kind of main public sea area, the depth of thousands of meters can be dropped directly, and it can basically declare a future that will never see the sun.

How can there be such a looter.

The sea conditions in the Gulf of Mexico tonight are not calm, but it will not be stormy.

Neither the target was found in the hazy visibility, nor the clues were detected in strange places. When the pioneer unmanned boat of Meta Company arrived near the accident sea area, there were only a few sinking "soaked water" on the sea surface. Outside of the "big metal shell", there are not many valuable things visible to the naked eye.

The picture on the sea was synchronized to the cruiser in real time.

Victoria's expression was somewhat restrained, but Luo Qi just opened his mouth and looked shocked with "Abaa, Aba, Aba"—

Wo's hair! ?

The first reaction in his head was not that there was any accident, but that NUSA and the Republic of Texas finally started fighting?

Moreover, it was not surprising that he directly attacked the cargo ship immediately, but it was indeed a bit tougher than he expected.

Before the fierce war started, attacking cargo ships had already been used as a means of cutting off the opponent's supplies as much as possible, and they even did not hesitate to bear the pressure of external public opinion and internal doubts for this.

This, is NUSA's attitude so firm?

But soon, Luo Qi realized that his thinking was wrong.

It was not a regional war at all, but a simple cargo ship was attacked.

And the instigator was none other than that familiar name——

Fleeing AI.

After realizing what happened, the response on the cruiser was very professional and efficient, and there was no panic. It seemed that he had long been experienced in coping.

The anti-submarine drones carried by the ship began to take off.

Under the surface of the sea, those unmanned intelligent submarines that have been cruising around the fleet all the time, keeping a distant attitude, also began to set up their driving, driving the scan and pushing them all the way.

This is the experience they have summed up in the battle against the wandering AI.

The smart submarines they control don't think like normal humans.

As long as the strategic goal can be achieved, it is worthwhile to directly sacrifice the structural durability of a submarine until it is scrapped.

These crazy subs are known for their mad dog-like stance.

Many ships that have strayed into dangerous waters or been targeted by stray targets will convey the same hopeless emotion in the messages sent back during their lifetime.

They often come in groups, and once they find their prey, they will attack and bite them recklessly.

To deal with this kind of target, there is no second way except to defeat them head-on with a regular navy with strong anti-submarine capabilities.

Mehta's solution is simple and rude——

Since you have a lot of unmanned subs, I will bring more unmanned subs.

Not only that, the entire fleet also has specialized anti-submarine capabilities, and the sky and water are all nets.

The sonar turned on and rattled, extremely arrogant.

Of course, this method is completely suicidal when dealing with large-scale out-of-control submarines.

However, after assessing the size of the opponent, they decided to take the initiative to attack.

This is not just a simple relationship of fighting or not, but about the security of the Gulf of Mexico.

If out-of-control submarines active in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans begin to invade the Gulf of Mexico on a large scale, then the Meta Company, which has the core of maritime logistics, will undoubtedly be one of the most severely affected forces.

Only a clean Gulf of Mexico is a good Gulf of Mexico.

Soon, the first explosion of the battle exploded below the surface of the sea.

Unlike the torpedo that hit the side of the cargo ship, the dual-purpose torpedo that exploded in anti-submarine depth produced an extremely astonishing effect.

A water overlord flower blooming on the ocean, witnessing the sinking of a submarine.

Rewind the time to 10 minutes before the hit.

The missile/anti-submarine dual-purpose frigate that has been accompanying the flagship has been out of a safe distance, and at the same time, three light anti-submarine drones were launched during the march, accompanied by two attack-type unmanned submarines.

A new anti-submarine unit was formed, code-named Alpha.

Locate and neutralize submarine.

Locating and rendering the sub harmless is their job.

With the full left rudder of the ship, a long white wake is pulled out on the sea surface, and the gushing water flow constitutes the "mist movement" following the ship.

The drone carrying the drop-type sonar quickly skimmed over the sea and headed towards the target area as a guide.

On the cruiser, the positions of frigates, anti-submarine drones, own submarines, and the seabed in the surrounding sea area are displayed in the integrated combat global control system in real time.

Multiple possible targets are displayed in the form of red dots in all scanned sea areas.

Although these submarines are operated by roving AI, the battles are not stupid. On the contrary, in some fields, they have exerted the full effectiveness of all weapons and equipment.

When the anti-submarine fleet was detected, those submarines that were attacking the cargo ship almost immediately lost their vitality, quickly sank to a height, reduced the operating noise, and submerged themselves into the background noise of the vast ocean.

A suspicious area of ​​the sea is marked, and the Alpha anti-submarine unit is moving in a fixed formation.

However, they did not rush into the enemy's high effective attack range recklessly.

Instead, the cover on the side of the ship was opened directly, and a torpedo was delivered directly from the launch port.

The No. [-] anti-submarine torpedo, like an old sow that fell into the pond at the entrance of the village, was thrown into the sea with a "plop".

Compared with the battleship, this small torpedo looks inconspicuous, but it actually has a length of more than two meters.

As soon as it entered the water suddenly, the propulsion department began to work. Under the correction of the communication department, it reached a state of neutral buoyancy and began to move rapidly towards the target sea area.

Passing through the side of one's own unmanned submarine, the torpedo shuttled under the sea like a shooting star.

As soon as it enters the combat area, the torpedo's computer and guidance department are activated directly to start a wide-area search.

The active and passive guidance system will continuously guide the torpedo for detection, classification and tracking.

The terrain detection points, like the starry sky, together constitute this invisible network.

Under the processing of the carrying computer department, it becomes a real-time detection chart and sends it back to the central system on the ship.

Debris deposited on the seafloor is scanned, listed as suspicious objects, then evaluated and finally ruled out one by one.

When diving into the cold water layer, the torpedo is not like a bomb that can destroy a warship at any time, but like a suspended object that is relatively stationary in the water, while the seabed is constantly moving backwards.

Undersea cruise mode.

Like an extremely patient hunter, the torpedo maintained a stable sailing posture, and walked out of a carpet-like route like a serpentine heat exchange tube within a suspicious range.

This high-tech torpedo is more like a miniature submarine than a pure explosive, dutifully performing a search mission.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and an extremely suspicious target appeared within the range of the sonar.

Beep, unidentified submarine detected.

Almost at the moment of discovering the other party, the other party also synchronized with the torpedo's countermeasures.

Full propulsion, full speed forward, floating height.

The huge propeller noise immediately exposed the submarine that was submerged in the bottom noise of the ocean.

LOCK ON, lock.

The high-precision digital sensor mounted on the torpedo captured the opponent's data, causing the torpedo to bite firmly behind.

At the same time, a possible escape route is marked on the central control system.

A tandem chase started on the bottom of the sea.

The anti-submarine drone that received the signal quickly approached the battlefield from another direction.

Then on the other side of the expected escape route, a second anti-submarine torpedo was dropped.

Cheese on two buns.

Due to the threat of torpedoes, the submarine had to constantly correct its escape route, but even so, the speed of the torpedo exceeded the maximum that the submarine could achieve.

"Gollum..."

With a burst of bubbles, a cylinder was thrown from the stern of the submarine.

Active bait!

The bait not only sent out a signal sufficient to interfere with the torpedo guidance department, but also turned its head directly and rushed towards the torpedo.

The distance is shortening rapidly, and there is not much time left for the torpedo to eliminate the target.

But it still quickly completed the judgment, ruled out the target, accelerated at an elevation angle, and passed the obstacle blocking the navigation route.

On the wall in front of Luo Qi and Victoria, the symbol representing the submarine and the two symbols representing the torpedo finally overlapped quickly.

Then it blinked twice and turned into a red circle with an X in it.

Hit the target!

The same scene keeps happening in this sea area.

Submarines controlled by AI continued to die underwater, and finally a face-shaped splash exploded on the sea surface, and it returned to calm.

Under the sea surface, the broken and twisted scrap iron continuously leaked gas and fell towards the seabed.

There are not many of them, but the counterattack they set off is very strong.

Perhaps after calculation, the probability of victory and escape is not high. Some submarines turned around and poured all their firepower when they were locked or not exposed.

The same highly intelligent torpedoes, and even submarine-launched missiles and pointless sea mines that are just dropped to create marine debris.

Mehta's unmanned submarines also suffered losses.

The first second was calm, but the next second the sea turned into a chaotic scene of torpedoes flying around each other, missiles and fish out of the water.

The near-anti-aircraft guns started to work, and the interceptor mini-missiles came out of the nest.

Even the cruiser farthest from the battlefield can feel the fierce battle in the distance.

Especially the most intuitive central control system.

Units are lost on both sides, symbols representing torpedoes and missiles appear and disappear, and the Mehta side ends up winning.

A total of seven enemy unmanned submarines were sunk, and our own side also paid the price of "two deaths and one injury".

They're all unmanned submarines.

The ship is intact, and so is the drone.

Gathering up and returning to the team, reorganizing the formation, after a brief adjustment, the fleet continued to embark on the original route, and reported the situation to the headquarters.

Submarines fleeing AI have invaded a certain sea area in the Gulf of Mexico.

They are not a full-time anti-submarine formation, but the guards protecting the heirs of the Mehta family. They have more important things to do than pursue them.

Who can be sure that the wandering AI has no backup?

Although it took a short time from discovery, engagement, and separation, Luo Qi was deeply touched by this well-trained army.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would really have to hold grudges here.

Like that super unlucky cargo ship...

At the same time, Luo Qi is also thankful that he has found Victoria as a solid backing.

If Juan and the others are allowed to drive a small engineering submarine by themselves, it is safe to say that the journey is safe, and the supply and reception are put aside. In case of encountering the last AI submarine that they do not want to encounter, it is basically the rhythm of the next life to pay attention to.
