"understand!"

Upon entering the area within three nautical miles, the sailors' guided cannons aimed at the pirate ship and opened fire first!

Boom!

The muffled groan of the orbment cannon firing rang out, and a projectile flew towards the pirate ship...

Splash... A column of water four or five meters high was splashed up several hundred meters away from the pirate ship.

At this moment, the pirate ship retaliated, firing missiles around the yacht.

Both sides immediately took evasive maneuvers, while the pirate ship also tried to seize a better position.

"Quickly, correct the artillery fire!"

After the sailors adjusted the firing parameters of the orbment cannon, the projectile flew towards the pirate ship with a thud. Before they could even see if their cannon had hit the target, they hurriedly loaded the next orbment cannonball.

Before the cannons could even fire, a deafening roar came from the direction of the pirate ship, and the sailors stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the pirate ship.

A massive column of water erupted from the center-stern of the pirate ship. The immense water pressure, like a high-pressure water jet, propelled all the structures above the deck high into the air, scattering them across the nearby sea like a shower of blossoms. Some sharp-eyed crew members even spotted some red spots within the white spray...

The immense water pressure lifted the entire pirate ship above the surface, a sickening metallic clang echoing through the vessel before it slammed heavily onto the sea...

?

?

The stress created by the rise and fall caused the keel of the pirate ship to break in the blink of an eye, turning the entire pirate ship into a pirate ship. (The azure seawater poured into the iron-hulled pirate ship as if it were free, and the broken hull quickly sank into the sea.)

Claire's crimson eyes widened in disbelief. This was... from the moment the pirate ship exploded and was sunk, not a single person on board jumped into the sea, or rather, at the instant the massive explosion occurred, all the pirates on board were killed by the shockwave.

The surrounding crew cheered, especially the gunner who fired the cannon, who was surrounded by the sailors.

"Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that? You actually hit the pirate ship's ammunition depot with one shot!"

"You are our hero!"

The captain lowered his binoculars, looking puzzled. Even if the pirate ship's ammunition depot was hit, it shouldn't have such a violent explosion.

"The rest is up to you."

"Yes, Your Excellency Ice Maiden."

Claire turned and walked out of the control room; she needed to report to Osborn.

Chapter 212 Thanks to the big shot for the rocket (48/60)

Half an hour ago.

The Type 039C AIP submarine lies silently on the seabed, passively listening to the sounds around it with its sonar.

))) na (((

The captain was taking notes in his cabin. Their mission was to secretly escort a Rebonian cruise ship to the Imperial territorial waters after arriving at the mission area.

This can be considered a form of protection for Shangqiu. Directly sending a warship to the other party's doorstep is too conspicuous. Submarines, as underwater combat vessels, are better at concealing their identities.

The hydrophone at the bow of the Type 039C submarine detected the sound of the propeller stirring the seawater and determined the distance between the target and the submarine based on the high-frequency and low-frequency sounds from the passive sonar.

"Report, target detected, quantity 1, bearing 175... target speed 14 knots..."

The so-called bearing is the angle between the target and the bow of the submarine, which is crucial for submarines.

Upon receiving the notification, the captain quickly entered the command room and whispered, "Surf to periscope depth."

"Surf to periscope depth..."

High-pressure air pushed the seawater out of the sump, and the Type 039C submarine slowly surfaced. After the depth indicator turned green, the periscope rose.

The captain stepped forward and pressed his face against the periscope to observe the approaching ship. Although an attack could be launched without surfacing, the sonar wouldn't tell you which country's flag the ship was flying.

The captain turned slightly and soon spotted a yacht flying the flag of the Rebonian Empire through the periscope.

"Target reached, diving depth 70... speed 15 knots..."

"Progress speed 15 knots!"

The captain released the periscope, which automatically lowered. With the adjustment of the water tanks, the Type 039C AIP submarine hovered at a depth of 70 meters. The propeller churned the seawater, maintaining a distance of one nautical mile from the yacht, and silently moved forward, slightly ahead of the Rebonia cruise ship.

On the mainland, there is no concept of a "submarine," but it is still necessary to go deeper to avoid being discovered by the yacht. At this time, the sailors on the yacht were completely unaware that an invisible bodyguard was following him.

Half an hour later, the sound of another propeller churning the seawater suddenly caught the sonar officer's attention.

"Commander, a surface vessel is approaching us, bearing 31...32...speed 17 knots..."

"Rise!"

The Type 039 submarine surfaced again to periscope depth. After the periscope was raised, the captain observed the situation on the surface and immediately noticed that the yacht was changing position, trying to seize the T-shaped stern. At the same time, the ship's guns on the deck were also started to be operated.

The captain immediately realized that the yacht had likely encountered pirates...

"Launch tube number one, load torpedoes."

"Yes, launch tube number one, load torpedoes!"

As soon as the order was given, the naval rabbits in the torpedo compartment began to get busy.

First, adjust the lifting lugs inside the torpedo tube. The purpose of these lugs is to prevent the torpedo from sliding back and forth or rotating 360 degrees inside the tube...

After confirming that the front lifting lug is lowered and the rear lifting lug is raised, the hatch of the torpedo tube opens. With the assistance of the hydraulic system, a 533mm heavy torpedo is aligned with the Y-shaped slot above the launch tube, guiding the aiming device into the torpedo tube.

After the alignment device touches the first lifting lug, the second lifting lug falls immediately to secure the torpedo. The naval rabbit then closes the hatch of the torpedo tube, which is then locked.

Next... the valve is opened, water from the torpedo compartment water tank is injected into the launch tube, and the air in the torpedo launch tube is purged. When the seawater comes into contact with the spark plug in the exhaust pipe, the exhaust valve closes.

The pilot glanced at the pressure gauge. At this moment, the pressure outside the submarine was greater than that inside. The naval pilot opened the balancing valve to balance the pressure between the launch tube and the outside.

The message that the torpedoes are ready was sent to the command center.

"Captain, launch tube number one, torpedo ready."

The captain nodded and began to observe the approaching ship through the periscope. Suddenly, the submarine's cannons opened fire, and the pirate ship also opened fire, and the two sides engaged in a cannon battle.

So... that means this pirate ship is a target that can be attacked!

"Open launch tube number one!"

When the torpedo launch port at the front of the Type 039C AIP submarine is opened, there is no obstruction when the internal and external pressures are equal.

As the torpedo tube opens, the sliding valve in the launch tube also moves to expose the high-pressure water inlet above, and the lifting lug that fixes the torpedo's attitude rises, putting the torpedo into a stage where it can be launched at any time.

The rest is entirely controlled by the fire control system of the Type 039C submarine.

The captain aimed the periscope at the pirate ship and carefully observed its features. There were no flags indicating its identity on the ship, meaning it was no longer under any protection.

"Torpedo launch, target: stateless vessel!"

High-pressure water flows from the pulse water tank and is injected into the torpedo tube. However, due to the forward movement of the sliding valve sleeve, the front part of the torpedo tube is "blocked." The gap between the sliding valve sleeve and the torpedo is very small and insufficient to release the pressure.

At this moment, the pressure in the rear half of the torpedo tube is much higher than in the front half. The water pressure rises sharply, and eventually, the water pressure propels the only movable object inside the torpedo tube, the "torpedo," out...

When the first torpedo tube was launched, the captain, just in case, also loaded a torpedo into the second torpedo tube. In case the torpedo in the first torpedo tube malfunctioned, the torpedo in the second torpedo tube would be launched as a follow-up, since torpedoes are weapons and their reliability is not 100%!

With a gurgling sound, the torpedo burst out of its launch tube, and immediately the various systems inside the torpedo activated. Under the control of the "high-speed fiber optic cable" at the tail, it swooped down toward the pirate ship that was firing.

With the "Black-bellied Rabbit LOGO" printed on the front, the Yu-10 torpedo adjusted its course underwater under the control of the tail rudder, swimming straight down the pirate ship at a speed of 50 knots, like a fish.

Underwater, an invisible killer rapidly approaches the pirate ship, but the pirates, who are desperately firing at the yacht, are unaware that their lives are no longer theirs.

Once the torpedo enters the terminal guidance range and confirms that the target's acoustic signature matches, the tail guide wire is cut off, and the Yu-10 torpedo's acoustic seeker/wake seeker and other composite guidance systems are activated.

"Captain, the power line has been cut!"

The captain immediately pressed the stopwatch on his hand.

(((Hey!)))

As a mature torpedo, it should have learned how to find its own target. The torpedo darted beneath the pirate ship in a flash.

The captain looked down at the stopwatch in his pocket while keeping an eye on the pirate ship in the periscope. The moment the stopwatch reached zero, the pirate ship in the periscope flew out of the sea, then quickly broke in two and disappeared into the sea.

Soon, the sound of torpedoes exploding echoed inside the submarine, and the passive sonar malfunctioned.

"Commander, the target is silent!"

213 Special Gift

A loud bang echoed across the sea, lifting the entire ship... and not far away, another iron-hulled vessel lay silent.

"Captain, torpedo hit target, target is silent!"

The captain of the Type 039C AIP submarine nodded and said in a deep voice, "Launch torpedo tube number three!"

With a rumbling sound, the third iron-hulled warship followed in the footsteps of the first two...

"Well done!"

The yacht's crew felt as if they were witnessing the birth of a legend. Every time the legendary gunner fired, he would hit the enemy ship's ammunition depot that was blocking the yacht, killing it instantly!

Looking at the warship belonging to an unknown force, now broken in two, Claire gazed thoughtfully at the azure sea. However, there were no other ships around, and the method of sinking the enemy ship did not resemble the missiles that fell from the sky like in the Shangqiu incident.

The sea was calm, but she always felt that something was protecting them in the dark... otherwise, there was no way to explain why the enemies who attacked the yacht were always cut in two by attacks from below.

Once might be good luck, twice might be a coincidence, but three times... four times... that's a bit suspicious!

"Don't let your guard down, we haven't entered the Empire's waters yet," Claire said to the relaxed sailors around her.

Four hours later, the yacht finally approached the territorial waters of the Rebonian Empire.

"Captain, it's our navy!"

On the horizon, two warships belonging to the Rebonian Empire slowly sailed towards the yacht.

Meanwhile, the Type 039 AIP submarine that had been escorting the yacht quietly left the area. Their mission was complete, and they had also completed a live-fire test of the Yu-10 torpedo. It's rare to encounter such a target that comes to you unnoticed.

Dou Zong looked at Zhou Mingrui, who seemed lost in thought, and asked curiously, "Boss seems to be contemplating some important life matter."

Zhou Mingrui was indeed thinking about important life events, such as what to give as a proposal gift in Krobel, like a diamond ring... that's too cliché.

"A diamond is forever"... Pshaw, we need to come up with something new!

"Boss, what's wrong? Get up and straighten up!"
