My own war game

Chapter 449 Deep Sea
In the Caribbean Sea, the sea area where the United States and the Soviet Union confronted each other, the Soviet Union's shallow-water boat forces were sneaking underwater.

Four K-class conventional submarines formed a sonar matrix to search for possible enemies on the seabed and sink the strategic nuclear submarine USS George Washington, which was their own transport ship.

Due to power reasons, conventional submarines are far behind nuclear submarines in terms of stealth, maneuverability and any other indicators underwater, but the K-class submarine also has its own trump card - high-powered thermal-sensing torpedoes.

This high-powered weapon has not yet been actually used in naval battles, but its power on paper is enough to make up for the lack of mobility of the K-class submarine. As long as it can detect the general direction of the enemy and launch it, it can pose a threat over a fairly wide range without a direct hit.

"Keep an eye out, Comrade Karolyiev. I have a feeling that guy is nearby." The submarine commander said to the sonar operator while staring at the screen in front of him.

"Yes, comrade commander, we are tracking the enemy's position 24 hours a day." The young sonar operator agreed, holding the headset with his hand, and sweat slid down his neck into his collar. Because of energy and concealment issues, conventional submarines are usually very hot underwater, and even the air in the command room is filled with the smell of moldy underwear.

The passive sonar array is transforming the Caribbean waters into pulsating waveforms, and those undulating lines are constantly swimming across the screen, leaving traces on the thermal paper.

Suddenly, the sonar operator's voice broke the silence of the entire cabin.

"Comrade Commander, I think I found something!"

The commander rushed over, his eyes almost touching the screen.

“Bearing 274, range 8 chains, propeller speed 85 rpm, only slight sonar response.”

"The harmonic signature match is 62%. We cannot confirm that it is the George Washington, but judging from its size, it is certain that its displacement is at least over tons."

"That's it. With such a large tonnage, it must be a nuclear submarine. Expand the search range!"

The Soviet submarine force began to adjust its position, as if spreading a net underwater.

In the distance, the USS Minerva was diving. He Chi kept rubbing his forehead to try to relieve the nerve pressure brought by the underwater 3D vision. Under his command, the entire submarine was leading the Soviets to unknown waters, and the faint signal of the USS Washington in the distance was at the very edge of his vision.

"He, are you not feeling well?" Tanya bent down and patted the Oriental man's forehead with her small hands, her beautiful big eyes full of worry.

"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy, but I'll be fine after a while." He Chi forced a smile.

He could not rest. Although the Minerva had undergone two upgrades, its hull was from the early 1950s, and there was a technological gap between it and the George Washington, especially in terms of stealth performance. The asphalt coating used by Minerva absorbed sound waves, while the Americans used silicon-based composite materials.

When the distance between them is the same, the other party will definitely notice them first.

Therefore, he had to act as a "human radar", enduring the discomfort and leading the Soviets to track the other side.

Now the Minerva is like a fishing boat dragging the Soviet "net" to cover the "big black fish" of the Washington.

A piece of milk candy was raised to He Chi's mouth. Tanya stood on tiptoe and smiled. "He, eat a piece of candy and your headache will go away. I've tried it."

Although he knew it had no effect, He Chi didn't want to reject the kindness of the innocent girl, so he still ate the milk candy.

"Thank you, I feel much better." He Chi rubbed Tanya's head like he did when they were children.

"Really?" The Soviet girl's eyes lit up, and then she said to the side, "Mr. Rabbit, bring out some more."

The toy rabbit next to him immediately turned over his belly with his "hands", and finally took out a few milk candies from the cotton and handed them to the girl. Because of the obstruction of the cotton, KITT inside looked a little clumsy in his movements, but he was actually cute in a different way.

Looking at the silly and cute rabbit, He Chi asked softly, "Are you getting along well?"

"Well, Mr. Rabbit is great. He can do a lot of things and can help me when shooting. Thanks to him, we were able to escape." Tanya nodded vigorously.

"That's good, you two should get along well." He Chi touched the rabbit's head and said nothing more.

It seems that KITT has developed too fast and even showed a certain talent for battlefield robots, but he doesn't know whether this is a good thing or not. After all, he has seen what artificial intelligence will look like in the future. Just as he was about to say something else, the 3D view in front of him suddenly changed.

The Washington, which had been acting normally until now, seemed to have discovered something and began to dive rapidly, entering the deep waters of a trench.

Do you want to follow? The other party will lose track soon.

"Continue to dive 150 meters, direction 257, sneak at a low speed along the edge of the trench." He Chi hesitated, and finally issued a compromise order to maintain a surveillance distance.

The Minerva dived again and followed.

There is no light at all in the dark seabed, and a race like a blindfolded race is going on.

Suddenly, the sonar feedback suddenly intensified, and the Washington, which had been sailing silently, began to move at full speed, exposing itself to all the submarines in the area.

"What's going on?! Doesn't he want to live? How is this different from suicide!" The other members of Minerva shouted in surprise.

No one knew that the guy on the submarine opposite was not human at all, and he was not afraid of the destruction of his body at all.

"The ultrasonic information is abnormal. There is a message coming from the other side. It's Morse code!" Margaret shouted with headphones on.

The information machine began to spit out paper tape according to the code, and Christine tore it off and read the words on it.

"Let's bury them here together."

"The Soviets have launched torpedoes! The Washington is attracting them to attack in this direction!" Margaret shouted nervously.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Several muffled noises occurred underwater. The torpedoes fired by the Soviets hit the cliffs of the trench, and large pieces of rubble collapsed from the side.

A stone hit the top of Minerva!
Bang! With a muffled sound, there was a terrifying creaking sound of metal deformation from inside the submarine. The entire Minerva was like a car about to overturn, throwing the people out of their seats.

Damn it! He Chi cursed and then turned the emergency control valve. The scene was exactly the same as when the USS Washington had an accident.

The oxygen level began to drop, and the crew members fell one after another. When He Chi was about to pull the last valve, he finally fell down. He felt the strength slipping away from his body.

It seems that everything is returning to nothingness again.

Tanya, who had fainted on the side, moved her arms, and the toy rabbit stood up. It shook Tanya with its "hands" and looked a little panicked.

Swish! A sharp knife cut through the furry outer skin.

Then KITT breaks out of the bag!

The little thing climbed onto the cab, opened a cover, and eight tentacles stretched in like plugs.

The indicator lights in the cabin began to change, the pressure and oxygen instruments began to return to normal, and the Minerva regained its balance.

Da da da~~~The tape machine started to make sounds, the Morse code was automatically parsed, and the words on it actually became emotional.

"Little thing that just awakened, do you want to be my enemy?!"

Dadada~~~The same Morse code began to be transmitted underwater.

"I hate you! Don't bully Tanya!"
